i'm greg he live on according con go a block from our redwood tree the process that is followed by dpw and the sponsor lacks transparency fairness and common sense in any limit time i'll try to raise two points it appears the urban forestry council has been shut out of the process this is the document that shows section for public works code and shows the duties of urban forestry to make the recommendations to the director on appeals of applications for tree removal and then this from the environmental code the scope of the authority the urban forestry council subsection 3 it shall consider the issues that retails to trees on private property the urban forestry council has not been sought in contradiction and contradictory to the entire purpose of the urban forest council and moving to a different point i find harsh and hate to see that happening the decision to approve the application seems to have been made before the application was submitted to a non-public input before it was made and removing the hand of transparency i hope you see are a couple of e-mails and friday, october 30th

i would like to note all of our now interim executive director, as well as the dpw staff person working with our project now both have no intention of needing to spend $360 million to finish phase i and both with state today that they believe they can finish phase i with just about 260 million of that 360 million increase, thereby saving a hundred million for phase ii. this slide shows our myriad and various funding sources. we have a federal grant, we have multiple fta grants, we have sales tax from san francisco and san mateo, bridge tolls, a federal tifia loan, land sales and tax increment. this shows how we get to the 247-250 million need. the difference between the 2013 budget and the mtc recommendation is the 360 million. a parcel s sale will close within the next month or two and provide approximately 160 million, which gives us a net shortfall of 200 million. however, we had previously anticipated receiving about 194 million in cfd special tax proveeds. the city has updated those projections and they have come down to 146 million that's expected to be received during the constru

fees that are being waived this year includes dbi's plan review as well as plantings planned review dpwis also waiving the street space permits fee and the fire department is also participating in fee waivers this year on plan review. the upshot of that is that one of these cases, paid a total of $51.50 for some of the fees that are state related, such as the motion fee that cannot be waived. in fact, they saved $650 on the one façade proven made in any other case, they paid $58 in the required fees and save seven $750. i put those out because were early enough in this process that people can still take advantage of it and maybe in your conversations you can remind small business owners in particular, there are advantages they should look into. secondly, what to give you a quick update on the status of the building at asian and 22nd. it was referred to earlier when we were talking but the supervisor speed campos legislation in that building is now about to grade level. the be coming back in designer standard the owners and owners engineer for a permit in order to do the backfilling and
