ferry services.gain, you come back to this philosophical question of how do we raise revenue for public services? who pays for it? is it through our property taxes , developer impact fees, general fund dollars which come through a range of different sources? or do we specifically tax our residents to pay for this increased service? if we do, we provide them service far above and beyond what any of our san francisco residents, who currently don't pay any tolling fee to come downtown, i would feel so much more comfort if the state passed a mobility management permit for san francisco so we can start to explore a downtown congestion management fee so everyone is paying and coming to the downtown area. this is another unknown. i keep harping on the same point i apologize for being so repetitive. at that point, i would feel very comfortable with this program. but it's another unknown for us as policymakers. i just don't feel comfortable supporting and approval of a policy today, that this is helpful. i do

we're requesting $21 million for treasure island to purchase two ferry vessels and support initial ferry operating costs in 2021. we've submitted two state grants. one is for the affordable housing sustainable community grant program, developing those with tida. it's meant to address the climate policies through land use and transportation. it's a $15 million housing and $5 million funding request for transportation on treasure island to include all the electric bus from a.c. transit as well as pedestrian bicycle connection. and, finally, a mobility as a service grant for caltrans. we're seeking this to help develop the idea that clipper can have a unique solution, such that a user would not have to come up with the full price of that pass at the beginning of each month, but earn it over the trips they utilize up to the price of the pass. with that, i'm hopeful we'll be able to report on successful grants in the coming year. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much, director. i realize that i was supposed to give my report first. my apologies. colleagues, as you know, this is our last meetin

joe suggested the phone at the ferry shed on the chappaquiddick side. >> they boarded the ferry. >> we had taken them over the day before. i was little surprised to see him. everything was business. they were hunched over on the side. >> i went to the payphone in the shed and i called my dad at home and said that, there's something going on down here. >> senator kennedy and his entourage continued their efforts and headed toward chappaquiddick road. >> the usual was away at the time and doctor mills from edgartown was the standby examiner. >> after the examination was performed by doctor mills in his professional capacity there was no need for an autopsy, clearly a case of drowning and he leaves. >> there was another that came and took her body away. >> the hearse made its way back to the mainland and ted kennedy had run out of options. >> it was now at least 930 in the morning and they decided they couldn't spend any more time asking for advice. they came back to the ferry. >> harvey ewing appeared. >> my dad came walking up just as the vote was coming in. he snapped a shot of kennedy

the ferry on the island. when it comes to shuttle refresh my memory. the developer makes the initial of the shuttle's themselves. everything we are talking about is the operations and maintenance for all of that in that regard. then the screen also talks about affordability program we discussed and the costs related to that and overall operation and maintenance of the toll system and the cameras and staff costs associated with that. >> if i all reading the slide correctly, how much of the revenue is coming from the actual developer? in the green here? >> right. the ticd subsidy is assumed, frankly, to be the development agreement requires $4 million per year. our thought process was the we could front load that, that would help the program overall. we have to negotiate that with tida and the development team. >> so everyone understands the green on the slide shows how much the developer is contributing to the transit program. nobody knows what ticd is. >> the blue is what revenue we expect, the toll to bring

it shows the ferry a.c.ransit and shuttle cost, as well as the revenues that are also generated as a result of those. it shows the affordability program now that rachel outlined , which includes a $300 a month stipend, as well as a zero toll, and then some operation and maintenance for the tolling infrastructure itself. and the point of the slide is to show that it is to be able to work towards an affordability program, and to have all the transit that we have assumed here right now, in terms of the first initial year, there is definitely a problem that we have to solve from a cash flow, but if you get to a point where -- and really the point of the second slide is to show that it's really about a critical mass of units and development, and critical mass of folks on the islands. [please stand by] >> next steps, it's important to recognize these are models. we are going ahead and updating those from a financial perspective with everything pointing toward actually constructing the tolling system. getting to a

‘ on ferries. what other contingency plans need to be put in place?e leave without any disruption, if we leave without any disruption, if we leave on the current deal, because that would give us the transition period. it will be mainly on goods going into the eu but if you cannot get our goods into france or belgium, things back up and you get the knee jerk congestion on the board and that is a real risk and a big problem and that is why the government is trying to take these steps —— on the border. this would not be insurmountable but it would mean for several months there was severe disruption on the borders. lot of people who do or don't want to leave, how alarms will they be? —— alarmed. that this is the kind of money needed. it is not a huge amount of money, even though it is important, but it is not a huge amount in the scheme of things. it isa amount in the scheme of things. it is a weak‘s contribution to the eu, but people who voted to leave did recognise that this would mean some disruption —— it is a weak‘s contribution. i don't think anybod

currently, no large ferries depart from here.s given almost £14 million to a firm called seaborne freight, which has never sailed a vessel and has no significant assets, to get a regular service up and running injust three months. as of a couple of months ago, the company's total share capital was valued at £66. and this is seaborne freight‘s website, which says it serves the needs of cross—channel freight traffic, and claims that freight ferry services operate between ramsgate and ostend, even though there is as yet no such service in operation. one local councillor told me he believes seaborne is in no position to provide any service. as a conservative, ifeel that as a shell company, which is a company that exists just on paper, it is a complete waste of money, of £14 million taxpayers' money, to provide what will be an unsustainable service across the channel here at ramsgate. the department for transport acknowledges that seaborne freight, which was set up by seasoned shipping industry figures, is just a start—up, but insists

what will these ferries, if they are required, be used for? be used for the sort of thing the government has been warning would happen in the case of a no—deal brexit, and that is the delay of critical goods like medicines and supplies that will be delayed at ports because of additional customs checks, and the idea is that up to 4000 lorries per week will be diverted from dover, which is obviously the busiest port, two ports like portsmouth here, plymouth and paul and others and they will take the weight off dover and folkestone, and the hope is that it will mitigate some of the delays and some of the real destruction that could happen on the roads down to the coast by adding all of this extra capacity. as you say, extra capacity in the hope to mitigate some of the effects, but presumably it is those additional checks which will be in place at the newport stew and the ones to which these ferries will be travelling at presumably there is still a risk of quite significant delays for some goods, particularly in those places where the journey will
