i'm also curious to see how the brt come through. >> okay. any comments or questions? thank you mr. goldsmith. any other candidate for district four seat or district six seat? we have any candidates for district nine come forward. if you're interested in making a statement. >> i enjoyed my role on the citizen's advisory committee. being a committee member who held them accountable and transparent. additionally i say my over ten years of work in the community, working in nonlot ofs and serving on the community board give me a wide perspective of issue that's many communities have. getting around san francisco whether it's by foot, by bus, by car, by light rail and whether it's community of color, youth or elderly. finally i would say that i'm in transparency and accountability. thank you i wasn't planning to speak. >> i appreciate you coming forward and i appreciate you're wanting to serve on the cac as well. we also have another candidate that's interested. christopher wattling is here? >> okay. we can open this item up for public comment. anyone like to comment on the appointments

related to the operations of authority, they assist us in for the legal services for parkway, island and brt and the formation of the treasure island mobility agency. it has a 7 percent dbe and lbe participation. and this item was brought before the cec on october 24 and there was a unanimous support. in terms of fiscal impacts, part of the costs for the contract that is funded by mlas with other city departments such as tida and tima for bueda island. we expect to receive more mous and will be using the prop a funds to offset the costs. in terms of me budget amendments we have the next budget to cover the majority of the contract and we will be bringing before the committee of an amendment of $177,000 over the course of the next month, at the mid year point. with that i am looking for a recommendation to exercise the first, one-year option for legal services with nossman llp and increase the contract amount by $350,000, for a total amount not-to-exceed $1.3 million for general legal counsel services and i am available to answer any questions that you may have. >> commissioners, david chiu h

colleagues around the nation and the world and that includes the model and it includes the progress on the brt and conclusions from the pricing study and we have had an extraordinary number of papers accepted for trb this year and that is just a reflection of the quality staff work. and the last item on my report, is just a quick review of an effort that we did to reach local small and disadvantaged businesses who gathered yesterday over 70 firms and 93 people at our offices to look at opportunities for those businesses to be involved in the business of the authority in the coming year. it was really a capacity crowd and i was just thrilled to see all of those people. they represent really the best of san francisco and every affirmation of this board's commitment to employing local talent and providing opportunity for all, and i think that we will have a very productive year, with the help of firms like those. and with that, and so that you don't have to hear from me again this meeting, let me just take a second to thank the chairs of our committees commissioner weiner for finance, commissione

appropriate actions for them as a seizure victim i would like to see that be an imperative --da'( r a detail brt you because i have the solution. we could take people, who are seizuring, and bring pup tents to them, bring people who are properly trained in the chinese hold our hands, something that's worked for generations. it does not work to thug us as it does not work to thug us as would be because we never change from seizuring, we cannot be mistreated the way we are mistreed. i think it's imperative agenda that we think in terms of the health and welfare and safety of us. if we need our doctors to have notes on the er so that they understand how our care should be taken care of, that's an imperative agenda for all of the people of san francisco so that we're safe. this was something promised by barack obama in his first letter that we not be chartered consistently. the people who continually torture me. the people who hurt me continue to do so. i would like to see that resolved and i would like to talk to all the people because i have solutions and i can't do it alone. i need your help. i n

the prop k sales tax proved a new 30-year extension, and all of the initial projects and plus, the brt are well under way and have reached significant milestones and this is a kutos to this chair and board in particular in april, saved one of the mark way opened to service, the authority board authorized us to sign the high-speed rail mou which helped to unravel the political juggernaut that was tying up the funding and one of the things that that did was all puns intended was energize the project and now has a real fubding plan and redepress is under way. in may, we got to the first time the transbay terminal projects to the downtown extension part was named of two new priorities for federal new starts funding in the regional transportation plan. in june, in the executive director's plan, they reached financial close which is a testament not only to the work by slogart and weiss not giving up on that and weiner and campos helping to seal the plan. and cal tram and we have done so successfully in june, the boards approved the locally preferred alternative for the rapid transit project

. >> and your members at the brt, the business roundtable -- >> horrified. >> they are petrified of this't they? >> they are. it deals with reputation. the united states has always been, i think, viewed globally as a pragmatic problem solver. after we've done everything we'll do the right thing. i think in this case we're focused in the conversation with the president and with the congressional leaders, we had more than 103 ceos in town last week. and really the best was, look, sit down, work it out. but we were equally firm, i think, on entitlement spending refirm as on revenue. >> no doubt. i have to ask you what's going on this michigan. you were a michigan governor i feel like half my adult lifetime. >> 12 short years. >> why didn't you pursue right to work? >> we didn't have the votes then. >> would you have pursued it if you did have the votes? >> it was something we always talked about. at that time in the region there were no right-to-work states. it was a regional question, and i think what's happened with right-to-work and the governor is passionate about getting the jobs engin

>> well, at the brt meeting that you mentioned, where the president was nice enough to come over, thestion was asked, if we go over the fiscal cliff, how many businesses in this room will reduce capital investment? remember, i just said -- and it's very demonstrable that capital investment is what drives gdp growth rate and job creation. that tells a story right there. if we go across the fiscal cliff, we will have an economic contraction or slow down at best. >> how are things looking right now ahead of the holidays? i'm sure your company is real busy, fedexing gifts. what are your expectations for this holiday season? >> well, you know, the 300,000 wonderful teammates of fedex are working very hard. we publicly forecast a couple weeks ago that on the 10th we would move 19 million shipments through our network. that's up about 11% year over year. e-commerce is causing a significant amount of growth. retail sales are going to be up some place in the 3.5% and 4%. we think absent going over the cliff and absent tax reform, u.s. gdp around 2% next year. worldwide, about 2.5%. >> real qui

i think the brt can be helpful? making sure that everyone makes the right choice.e some questions. [ applause ] yeah, i think the presses -- they probably have enough there to -- >>> all right. at caveat to all the executives in the room that the media is reporting this and listening in, of course, the president making a couple headlines, longly, john harwood, not insisting on higher rates in his words, because of spite, but because they need to raise some very often, and divorcing from the debt cele dug prettying that they would try to use it as leverage. john, your thoughts? >> reporter: well, as we discussed before the president came in, he was piggybacking on the suggestion that a longer-term fix to the deficit. when he said absolutely, as he did, that i'm not going to play that game. that suggests he's holding in reserve the option that have discussed in 2011, the president said orb concluded he didn't think he had the legal authority to do it. and risk a court fight. it sounds to me like the president is suggesting that would be preferable to going through th

this is the first survey of the second decade of the brt ceo survey, and what we're saying is there's just kind of a status quo. it was the last quarter was the third biggest drop in about ten years that we'd had, and we stayed right there. not a lot of confidence and a whole lot of anticipation. a whole 80% of our membership signing a letter to the president and to congress saying, get this fiscal cliff done. rise above it, and get your work done, and then hopefully we can get some confidence going. the other thing of note in the survey, for the first time -- and we've done this for three years now. each year this fourth quarter, we asked about cost pressure. first time ever regulation topped that list, and this is self-reported. >> interesting. i am looking for a little bit of delta here. looking at a chart of sales expectations for the next six months. slight uptick in expectations of sales decreasing. we just heard -- >> a little bit. >> lloyd blankfein talking about the austerity component of any deal or the lack of a deal. either way, we're in for some of that. is that what they

if you surveyed all the members of the brt, for example, i would say 90% of them would say their investment and employment decisions will be impacted by the fiscal cliff. and eventually, ours will, too. but we're in a longer cycle environment where it will take a little longer. there's some latency in the lag. but we had a show of hands the other day on this very question. and 90% of the hands went up. negative impact on investment and employment, if you go over the fiscal cliff. i mean, it is a huge event that is to be avoided, and this is why the business community is trying to weigh in prague matically here. and our paint of view here is all things on the table. fiscally responsible solution. yeah there are going to be some revenues involved but there needs to be multiples of that in entitlement cuts. and so i've taken enough flak on both the right and the left in this equation to know that i'm in the right place. >> jim, when you think about, i'm curious, are you a supporter of simpson-bowles? i ask because i believe that plan calls for $1.4 trillion in defense cut spending which i have
