i had a specific question about cal fresh. i know the food security task force made a recommendation for an additional $400,000 to do outreach to the communities where people potentially qualify for cal fresh and they believe that if they receive this additional $400,000 that could lead to an additional, i guess close to $3 300-0000 of participants in this particular program. are you father-in-law -- familiar with that request? >> yes. i am familiar with that. our cal fresh director is part of the task force. the task force is correct. there is a service, a large number of families that haven't accessed benefits. it could be they are eligible for a small allotment, maybe $10-20 a month which is not worth it. we are changing the way that folks can apply. they can apply online or by phone to make it a simple transaction as possible. i don't know what they want the $400,000 for whether it's tied to what we are requesting funds for. >> the $400,000 is specific to outreach. >> whether cbo outreach or internal. >> it looks like cbo

in terms of cal trans and cal trans success in terms of its ultimate extension to the trans bay transit center, it's in san francisco interest to make sure we keep up our commitment of a $68 million contribution but we make it work. a lot of san franciscans rely on cal trans and it's all of benefit. so we need to make sure we keep that commitment in the bond. it makes sense to make that capital investment. we know the reality of how things work with mta's budget. that's going to come out of mta's operation budget and that's going to be a detriment of muni and street projects. in terms of the mello rus, that was intended to provide funding to the downtown extension if the -- downtown extension. that money is being divert today the trans bay center, so the mello rus money, that will be coming to the board and we'll talk about that. it's a disappointing occurrence in my view. finally, i'm in agreement in terms of the need it figure out how we're going to fill the hole in the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years that were left by the two year delay. that's $33 million for mta that was delayed two yea

so it is a blessing for me to follow cal recycling and they did paint a very dismal picture but they did it very well, in fact they ended with a vision and that is interesting about that last slide those numbers of triangles were about 12 and so we are not talking about infinite numbers of super markets to come to the table here. it is a reasonable number but what is different about those 12 triangle and what we have now is the idea of distribution. and that they are spread out across. and so what i want to do in the next ten minutes is fill in some of the picture that cal recycling started specifically around california. so just as super high level so that we are all remembering why we are here and cal recycling talking about this, ab2020 understood that in order to maintain and get real recycling you have to create a market place. and so what it said was, and it was very much before its time, it defines something called crv. and the r in crv is not recycling, it is redemption. they are talking about getting money back, putting money into a system. and so that intention of ab 2020 w

and because the contract is the payment mechanism for medicaid under drug medi-cal, it has to name the responsible state agency for the entire contract period inasmuch as settlement and audit issues are still current, going all the way back to 2011 for the contract. so, they -- that's why they sent us an amendment that would make the naming of the department of health care services retroactive to the first opening date of that contract. >> colleagues, any questions to dph? supervisor breed. >> just a clarifying question. so, there was a contract that was previously entered into in 2010 under a different name. and so the changes under the state, this is why it's being asked to enter into a retroactive contract. so, the initial contract -- i notice that's what it says in the document. so, that's -- that actually makes sense. but you were obligated to change this contract and the responsible entities based on these state regulations and i just want to make sure that that's what you're saying. >> yes. >> okay, thank you. that helped clear it up. >> supervisor campos. >> yes. if you can exp

so cal, let me go with you first.ould you say is the first plausible step in solving this problem? >> arthel, the first plausible step is the first step that has not been adhered to for a number of years under both administration, republican or democrat. it's build a fence. build a wall. this is like a boat with a leak in it, where you're trying to bail out the water, while more water is coming in. sooner or later, the boat is going to be overwhelmed. we can't continue to go on like this. hospitals are closing in california. public schools are overwhelmed. the various social services are burdened to a level unlike ever before. and if this continues, and both parties are at fault of this, by the way, democrats, because they want to import more hispanic votes and republicans because they want more cheap labor. we need to build the wall, stop the flow and then we can deal with the 11 million undocumented immigrants and the children who are already here. but unless we stop it, it's going to get worse. >> and steve, i want
