that part of corridor is not being repaved it will be a separate contract a separate item although dpw will be moving forward in addition coordination with the stakeholders we're trying to implement any of the curve changes better to be safe than sorry we can but i'll point out the number one priority koipt e coming out is the pedestrian lighting especially between mosaic and buchanan we're as staff practically supportive of that idea it is not just something that is within our scope but making sure that is happening and working w in kwoerngs are dpw additionally we're working with the city family to find the funding for those lights and make sure those are included in the large program as well we're working with continuing to work with dpw with our construction impacts and timing and especially for the next new contract between mosaic to buchanan to make sure we are you know really during the summer months at least impactful as possible i want to mention the customer information at stops the merchants are concerned about the idea of shelters especially the 3 wall shelters we're going

contend is that a dpw who's funding are who will be or should be funding the street light project. >> we're working with dpw right now and several other agencies within the city families to find the funding for street lights and yeah puc is also involved in that effort. >> i guess the question oneself we can approve not do anything tomorrow but the question is you know how do we know what the process is going it affects us people don't want to take the transit if they don't feel comfortable getting on and off the bus we can't make other agencies move forward is there a way to leverage our process or approval the project to get the other agencies to move more quickly. >> shawn family i think it is important to note for clarification that the staff recommendation agrees with the speakers on the essential it the lightss are an essential part of the conversation so findings the right funding source everybody agrees that lights are an essential ingredient of the project and an essential action so i think some of the things we're continuing to talk to our other partners including dpw in thi

you have to go to room 263 for the dpw hearing. >> the dpw hearing is for multiple addresses? >> yes. for multiple addresses. >> i'm sorry for the scheduling issue. >> we'll go back to item 6. >> i need to make a disclosure. i wish to disclose that i have a business relationship with rubben and junes, as a representation of the board will not have any effect on my representation. >> good evening, members of the board, tom tunney ruben juniors and rose, the property manager. we are the appellants. we applied for a tree permit. it's described as a tree removal. it's incorrect. we are requesting a tree replacement. i will talk about that more in a moment. the staff originally recommended approval of the permit and then a hearing was requested by neighbors and after the hearing, then the bureau denied the appeal and we have now appe

we continued a week and get more information phenomenon the tree will you be willing to do that and dpw is putting it on hold. >> so the council asked for two weeks notification they're all volunteers i'm not positive we can get to the site before then we can ask the public works urban forestry if they're able to get out and come back i'm not sure what their schedule i canned make those promises i'm sorry. >> it is good to have information before we nominate i'm okay santa monica. >> it can come back and not eligible. >> yeah. they determine whether it is eligible if it is not we're on our merry way and the tree left to the property owners fate. >> the property owner you had something to come to the. microphone. >> the tree has got a thing from the department of public works i i don't have any intentions to apply for a permit i'm expecting the due process i went and fought for from the military to be able to present they presented i have nothing you have more information than i do. >> thank you. appreciate our comments yeah. i was going to bring up something similar giving a continuance

i know dpw has said otherwise. but the engineer seems to agree with me. >> how long to get the full growth? >> how long? i suggested to put in what we consider a medium size tree by dpw size standards. they have a plant guide small, medium and large. the trees we would put in there are considered large and they are going to be a faster growing tree being a large tree. so you will get a couple feet of growth of year on the large species and a foot on the small species. if you start at 14-15 feet, maximum, maybe 12 feet is more realistic. what would consider here about 5 years. you have something that reaches maturity and 40 feet in another 20 years. that's more sustainable size tree. that's what we are seeking. we don't have anyway to improve the growing conditions in this situation. normally we could expand basins in this condition. >> what about the size of the olive trees? >> the olive trees would be in containers and i believe they are about 2 feet across. i don't know a lot about a design element on that. but t

presumably to supervisor president london breed office this is her district and maybe dpw then simply have a report through staff hfa as to where we stood with lighting before any major transit construction. >> so the sense of the board thing that's what you're talking about. >> mr. kennedy do you feel that helps the situation so we can show to other agencies we're watching for the pedestrian scale as well. >> yeah. that would be good. >> a point of clarification i think we heard you loud and clear the fund is essential but the fairness to the sister agencies that's one funding source an objective one we need to do in respect for your sentiments and look at it how we modestly might move that fund source it we hear loud and clear we want the project to go but not in pieces we want the lights funded for a variety of reasons we get it. >> that's the sense of the board. >> i'm fine i'm used to putting things in a motion. >> clearly what i'm taking away the sentiment of the board there's a discussion for and one of the potential fund sources is that dpw there maybe others that we need to c

the codes that exist now really restrict the ability of dpw and fire department to design around lot of things we like to do. i'm sympathetic to the neighbors and losing a light well and things like that and appreciate the frustration, i would be doing it the same way. we worked lard to facilitate countless meetings to see if there are design chairfcks that could be met and unfochinately the answer came back now and i'm as frustrated as anyone och those results. that being said, we are here today on a sequa appeal and on that narrow focus alone. i do not believe that we have valid grounds if sequa appeal here. i appreciate mr. williams arguments. the class fwo cad x i appreciate all the concerns around the cor taizy list. this side is abated and in talking with the city attorney feels comfortable that abatement and the cat x is appropriate ipthis scenario. again, i appreciate all the concerns over this site, i appreciate the appeal. if i was a neighbor i would frustrated as well, i am as a supervisor and wish there was a different answer. i don't find there to be ground. with that i

million dollars as assigned or allocated for dig once and we mentioned ta we have already worked with dpw to identify the projects that are under way. and that we have the high probability that we are able to engage in, in some form and so the timing will be critical in making sure that we are able to activate on those. >> and so of that 2 million, that the department and the mayor proposing for the dig one, how much of that will be cut under the bla proposal? >> i don't think that particular dollar or that identified project initiative and specifically called out as a cred ilt. >> okay. so i am just confused because because we see a whopper of the number in terms of proposed cuts and mr. rose, will explain piece by piece, but i am trying to understand from the department is in terms of subject matter of the projects that are trying to do and what are the cuts and what will the impact be and that will help me to understand whether these are appropriate cuts or cuts that will under mine policy objectives that i have and that the board has. >> the cuts are around vacancies. >> i understand,
