>> operations, let's hear from the next caller. >> speaker: i'm a resident of district five and i'm calling in to ask you to please reject the poa budget. it only serves one group and that's the group that we're actively trying to call out and be held accountable and we know that the poa does not do that. folks are calling in support of this new budget are actively saying racist comments and please use the money to pay essential workers. i yield my time. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. operations, next caller, please.

>> speaker: i'm from d6 and i want to ask the supervisors that you noticed the few people calling in to defend police have been making racist public comments. please make note of that. supervisors, we demand you stand up to the racist poa and reject their contract and protect the money allocated to our city workers and the black community to create real public safety. there is no funding for raises for essential and frontline city workers in year two of the budget but this renegotiation gives politician all of the pol. this renegotiation is exactly what the poa wants. they get two additional years with a lack of transparency and

accountability through 2023 and sets them up to renegotiate their next contract in a mayoral election year. stand up to the racist poa. as many as 300 officers could be laid off if the race also not delayed. >> thank you for your comments. operations, next caller, please. >> speaker: i'm amelia clay. i'm a tree in d1 and i am a member of the charter teacher union. i'm calling to demand the board of. supervisors protect the funds allocated to city workers and the black community. i'm here because black lives matter to me and they should to all of us. the mayor is threatening to use her executive power to defund frontline and essential workers to pay for police officer

raises. the own way to protect the workers who truly create public safety is through new legislation that sources from the 37.9 million raises. don't make us fight for scraps. our city spends one billion each year on policing and what does it say when elected officials threaten to defund teachers like myself? >> i'm pausing your time. i'm pausing your time. thank you for your comments. operations, next caller, please. >> speaker: i'm alice and i'm a black woman in district six is i'm here to demand the board of supervisors prioritize funding for the black community over giving police even more money. the police budget is nearly a billion dollars. why are we wasting so much money

on an institution that brutalizes your constituents? you spend so much money on policing. they clearly don't provide public safety for us and target us. why do the police deserve a billion dollars? we are demanding you stand up to the racist poa and reject new contracts and create new legislation to defund policing. (indiscernible).

>> please stay away from the city budget. i appreciate the humor and seriousness. there's at risk with these items. we'll go to the next speaker. if you talk about the city's budget, not just the word, we will redirect your time and we'll pause it as we're interrupting you and if you continue been your forefit your place in line. let's hear from the next caller, please. >> speaker: i live in d5 and i'll respond to the famous comment a few people have been talking about. this man said the police has been good to him. congratulations to you. if we could all say that, we wouldn't be here. the fact is, we can't. if there is one person who said the police have targeted me,

that gives me cause. it makes me ask, what are we doing here? and you should be asking yourselves the same, what are the police doing most of the time?

>> operations, let's hear from the next caller. >> speaker: i'm calling to demand our supervisors reject racist poa contract and protect the funds allocated to city workers and our communities. california has on average the highest salary for police officers out of all 50 states. when both the california doj and the same trainers who give sfpd anti-racial training tell you that the poa and that sfpd are

racist, please believe them. we are defunding our education, our health system and, yet, there's room for police to have renegotiation exposrenegotiatior the next three years? it makes no sense and all of the citizens can see that. so should be the supervisors be able to see that. please make the right decision. please invest in our communities and please invest in real public safety. >> operations, next caller, please. >> speaker: thank you for hearing us this evening. this renegotiation we've been talking about is exactly what the poa wants. they get two additional years of raises and lock in accountability that have brought people in the trees b streets fe

mo years. more years. we have a clear set of values in our city and this ain't it. our community needs more teachers and nurses and our essential workers to be well taken care of. we need to prioritize the people who are keeping the community healthy, not scared. the sfpd and sheriff will not provide medical care to residents and they will not do any more than they're doing to keep our city running. the board must take all necessary measures to protect essential workers, including sourcing funds. san francisco can do so much better than this. black lives matter.

>> speaker: you mentioned with regards to this budget issue, the budget thing had its own hearing, own notification, but the budget appropriation's committee, it's a committee and there's only certain people there and i imagine that many of the people commenting would like to address the board because

it's not just the people on the budget appropriation's committ committee. >> thank you for your comments. operations, let's hear from the next caller, please. >> speaker: i'm lawrence, a black man and i live in d1. i'm calling to demand that the board of supervisors reject the racist police officer's association's contract and reject the funds allocated to city workers in the black community. last year, black people made only five% of the city's population but accounted for almost 40% of all police searches and 50% of the jail population.

the latin-x account for 20% of the jail population and force. and even after decades of so-called reform, 70% of use of force is in the last quarter were against people of color. >> operations, next caller. >> speaker: yeah, so i know you all are tired and i'm tired, too. my son was returning home one night, he was in college, and returned home to our apartment.

a car pulled over and he was beat by officer montoya and the a clu took upon the case. the city settled with us. the city has, like, these ridiculous settlements and the process to get a settlement is horrible and doesn't do justice. but the ongoing trauma is one officer is still on the streets and he has two recent settlements since my son's in 2015. and so every time there's a new incident, there's trauma. and every time he's on the television -- >> thank you for your comment. operations, let's hear from the next caller, please.

>> madam clerk, that completes the queue. >> thank you. mr. president. >> our public comment is now closed. madam clerk, let's call the adoption committee reference agenda, item 81-86. >> items 81-86 were introduced without reference to committee. alternatively any supervisor may require a resolution to go to committee. >> colleagues, would anyone like to sever any items? ok, so madam clerk, please call role on all of them.

unanimously. >> supervisor haney: madam clerk, will you read item 3? [agenda item read]. >> supervisor haney: and i believe we have a presentation by director fong and deputy director cordova. >> i will make an opening statement and then hand it over to deputy director cordova. 1.5 million obligate -- we anticipate using more federal

funds this year and less local funds than in the prior year. my next slide, we expect 2.5 million of expenditures to be incurred in this coming fiscal year, and this is a 27.5 increase from the prior year. 75% will go towards professional services, and 2.3% for nonpersonnel costs. [inaudible] on the personnel costs representing 1.6 f.t.e., and the nonpersonnel costs include commissioner fees and legal costs. at this point, let me pass the mic over to eric cordova to walk you through the remainder of the slide. >> great. thank you, cynthia. want to walk you through the slides so you get a feeling on

the milestones here. on the equity policy, we understand this here. our plan is to come with you over the next six months to come to you with complete comprehensive recommendations no later than the early spring of last year, so that's something i wanted to make sure i highlighted with the committee here in terms of our process moving forward. hopefully, you all are aware that the south gate project is under construction, and we are leading the effort. that does include three tolling locations for the overall program, so those are important infrastructure improvements that will be put into play as you see in the timeline there. the other items are network communications and what we also call toll system integration where we basically hire the vendor that comes in to install the critical equipment, cameras, as well as sensors for the tolling infrastructure. this is all leading to who we call the -- what we call the

phase one go live approximately two years from now, so we've got a robust program that we need to move forward on in terms of getting that implemented, but what we need to focus on is getting new service from the east bay, new intraisland shuttle service and shutting service from the east bay. we're working the approvals for the transit programs and the partner program, we're working with the sfmta in that regards. so that encapsulates phase one, which brings you about two years out. but that's not the completion of the program. the west side bridges program, starting next summer, we'll start to move into construction. we'll go ahead and construct the final two toll points, and with that, comes phase two of

that integration contract, and then the final go live for the system in the fall of 2024, and let's not forget about the 80 shuttle pilots because that's a shuttle pilot study that we're pursuing and we'll be bringing you new information as we go to the next year. let's go to the next couple of slides. the next slide is the items that we've discussed in terms of management, etc. i did want to emphasize on the financing side -- you can go to the next slide, please. what's really important for us to take a look at and make sure that you understand is the work that we're doing to go ahead and pursue additional funds, particularly from the federal government as it relates to an existing grant for sfmta, we're seeking additional funds for that grant, and we want to thank sfmta for that.

we're also going to go ahead, and i want to talk about, as much as we can, about the ferry service project. we're going to go ahead with the ferry providers and implement ferry service and seek funding for vessels from state and local sources. another project is the bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts that we're working on. our plan is to build a location from the eastern span drop off and bringing a basic path along the western side of the island down to the ferry terminal. so that's the vision that we have, and we're actively pursuing funds to make that a

reality here. last slide should be coming forth, which really just an overview of the fact that the infrastructure itself, as i indicated, is implemented in phases. there are environmental approvals that frankly are being documented as we speak in terms of the actual physical infrastructure. one reminder that the actual totaling concept and the actual operations of tolling was approved in 2011 as part of the island. we're doing the civil engineering for the foundations and the poles, the physical infrastructure, as i mentioned, and finalizing, our intent is to finalize an r.f.p. and put it out to market in spring of next year for the existing integration contract, and funding and grant management is probably as important as anything for us right now to

continue to pursue funding for the items that are part of this program. and we're going to be doing a robust program for the next five or six months. that completes my presentation. thank you. >> supervisor haney: thank you, director fung and deputy director cordova. any questions from my colleagues about this? i don't see any there. i did just want to just underscore something on the outreach on the ferry. there are a number of different populations on the island currently, and i want to make sure that we are providing outreach and information and counseling as to how this will impact them. my office has heard from

residents who live in some of the supportive housing on the island and what this will mean to them, for them, so as we're thinking about outreach, i think we also need to think about how we're educating and informing both current residents and future residents. one -- one -- one thing i wanted to ask, i saw that for tida, i saw there was a pretty significant drop in revenue for tida. do you know what accounts for that? >> the tida, what we're working with for tida is a revenue stream, flat revenue stream consistent over the next five years. the fact that there may have been a drop in revenue really

is just an indication that we're not spending as much as was available, so we went ahead -- but now, we frankly envision an increase in not only this fiscal year, but significantly over the next two fiscal years in terms of overall funding need in that regard, commissioner. >> supervisor haney: okay. operator, is there any public comment? >> clerk: let's see. >> operator: you have zero questions remaining. >> supervisor haney: all right. i'll close public comment. can we have a motion and a second on item 3? >> supervisor mandelman: move, mandelman. >> supervisor walton: second. >> supervisor haney: moved by mandelman, seconded by walton. it's a good combo there. madam clerk, can i have a roll

call, please. >> clerk: on item 3 -- [roll call] >> clerk: motion passes. >> supervisor haney: thank you. thank you for the presentation and for your work, team. madam clerk, will you please read the next item? >> clerk: item 4, introduction of new items. this is an action item. >> supervisor haney: colleagues, are there any new items? seeing none, is there any public comment on this item? >> operator: you have zero questions remaining. >> supervisor haney: okay. madam clerk, will you please call the next item.

>> clerk: item 5, public comment. >> supervisor haney: operator, is there any general public comment? >> operator: you have zero questions remaining. >> supervisor haney: okay. seeing none, we will close public comment. madam clerk, will you please call the next item. >> clerk: item 6, adjournment. >> supervisor haney: all right. successful. we are done. adjourned. >> supervisor walton: very efficient, commissioner. >> supervisor haney: thank you. thank you, thank you, team. >> the bicycle coalition was giving away 33 bicycles so i

applied. i was happy to receive one of them. >> the community bike build program is the san francisco coalition's way of spreading the joy of biking and freedom of biking to residents who may not have access to affordable transportation. the city has an ordinance that we worked with them on back in 2014 that requires city agency goes to give organizations like the san francisco bicycle organization a chance to take bicycles abandoned and put them to good use or find new homes for them. the partnerships with

organizations generally with organizations that are working with low income individuals or families or people who are transportation dependent. we ask them to identify individuals who would greatly benefit from a bicycle. we make a list of people and their heights to match them to a bicycle that would suit their lifestyle and age and height. >> bicycle i received has impacted my life so greatly. it is not only a form of recreation. it is also a means of getting connected with the community through bike rides and it is also just a feeling of freedom. i really appreciate it. i am very thankful. >> we teach a class. they have to attend a one hour

class. things like how to change lanes, how to make a left turn, right turn, how to ride around cars. after that class, then we would give everyone a test chance -- chance to test ride. >> we are giving them as a way to get around the city. >> just the joy of like seeing people test drive the bicycles in the small area, there is no real word. i guess enjoyable is a word i could use. that doesn't describe the kind of warm feelings you feel in your heart giving someone that sense of freedom and maybe they haven't ridden a bike in years. these folks are older than the normal crowd of people we give bicycles away to. take my picture on my bike. that was a great experience. there were smiles all around. the recipients, myself,

supervisor, everyone was happy to be a part of this joyous occasion. at the end we normally do a group ride to see people ride off with these huge smiles on their faces is a great experience. >> if someone is interested in volunteering, we have a special section on the website sf bike.org/volunteer you can sign up for both events. we have given away 855 bicycles, 376 last year. we are growing each and every year. i hope to top that 376 this year. we frequently do events in bayview. the spaces are for people to come and work on their own bikes or learn skills and give them access to something that they

may not have had access to. >> for me this is a fun way to get outside and be active. most of the time the kids will be in the house. this is a fun way to do something. >> you get fresh air and you don't just stay in the house all day. iit is a good way to exercise. >> the bicycle coalition has a bicycle program for every community in san francisco. it is connecting the young, older community. it is a wonderful outlet for the community to come together to have some good clean fun. it has opened to many doors to the young people that will usually might not have a bicycle. i have seen them and they are thankful and i am thankful for this program.

>> chair peskin: good afternoon to the land use and transportation committee of the san francisco board of supervisors for today, monday, september 14, 2020. i am the chair of the committee, aaron peskin, joined by supervisor and member dean preston, and shortly to be joined by supervisor ahsha safai. our clerk is miss erica major. miss clerk, do you have any announcements. >> clerk: due to the covid-19 health emergency and to protect board members, the city, and the public, the city hall and board room are closed. however, members will be participating in the meeting remotely. mm
