to mayor lee and his team in particular ken rich. enough cannot be said about ken's leadership and really quarterbacking this project throughout the process. and to all of the leadership, to president chiu, supervisor campos, and all the board members that helped during this process. it was truly a team effort. and i also want to take a moment to thank the members in district 2 where two of the existing cpmc hospitals are being housed right now in the california campus and pacific campus. and across the street will be from district 2 will be the new cathedral campus. and to all the neighborhood groups in district 2 who came together to work with cpmc, to work with my office, to work with the mayor's team, to make sure that all the neighborhood needs were met, to make sure that as we build these hospitals we build them in a way that makes sense for our neighborhoods. but in particular, in a way that we can deliver that health care into the next century for san francisco and really make sure that we continue to be at the forefront of h

rich, if you could describe what those amendments are. >> so, supervisor, ken rich, oewd. there is no required -- well, there always has been what's called a city report where every year the city has to report and the city being in this case the planning director and the director of public health have to report on the operation of all cpmc's obligations. speaking to your point, we added -- going through the planning commission through the land use committee, a clause that requires the city report to also report on the status of the work force program including how the money is being spent and the performance of the 40% hiring and the construction hiring. and that report is done every year and goes to the planning commission, and is then also reviewed by a special reviewer who then writes a letter to the board of supervisors sort of commenting on whether everything -- it looks like it's in order. so, in a couple different ways the board is provided with that information simply by looking at the city report, which is obviously available to you, go through the planning commis

ken rich with owd and we have been working with the city partners and lead efforts on several complex projects where we were able to reach negotiated agreements with the sponsors on a sort that you do with a large agreement with a contractual element. you see some of these on your slide. these agreements have been tailored to specific needs and they have produced in part substantial capital investment in transportation. for example, infrastructure rolling stock and facilities, and then also innovative dedicated revenue streams, household transit passes in some cases, parking surcharges, transit passes linked to events. we did this with the project that just came through and solutions that make sense for those projects. moving forward i think it's clear that we're going to continue spear heading large complex transformative -- you can use lots of adjectives, and mix used projects. some examplings are the is that laid lock site, the potrero hill site, the uc campus, and several development projects coming down the line. the emphasis on transportation investments among all the different

units up until i think 2040 and while the problem is as shown in the eastern neighborhood plan which ken rich was in charge of i think he or some of the others said that the increase in property taxes -- that type of thing is no where near the cost of the infrastructure that new development causes, so but the city asking and more housing and we're so far behind in the hole in regards to muni funding it's a deeper hole to get into. the more housing the more maintenance that we need. we're just falling deeper, deeper, deeper, so i can't understand why we would allow auto planning department is doing a great job in planning housing units but in the meantime muni is falling behind and we shouldn't have more housing until we have transportation and we're no where near that so please fix muni first before we get more housing. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is is ms. tarbox and i am speaking on behalf of the san francisco water alliance and we're concerned about the whole corridor and from the embarcadero station to pier 70. as we have heard today the funding probl

the hard work of the several senior planners that have worked with us over the years, including ken rich, paul lord, and shelly [speaker not understood]. and special thanks to our most recent senior planner who has obviously done a great job, steve wertheim. on behalf of the community, thank you all. i am here to give you a brief rundown on the community participation and outreach efforts of the organizing committee. as you know, we have been planning in japantown for over 13 years. this is the third version of a plan to save the culture heritage and identity of this neighborhood. still, we do not have a document adopted or endorsed by the city. the bnp started in 2007, as steve mentioned and in 2009 was sent back to the community to work with the planning department for further refinement. since then we have completed this jches. over the years we have conducted way too many community meetings, focus groups and outreach to stakeholders. since february alone we have conducted one community meeting and outreached to 30 community organizations, property owner, merchant, and resident groups

early morning for many hours, each of these mornings for many months, lou convened cpmc officials, ken rich represented the mayor, supervisors campos and farrell to conference >>xv in a number of locations around the city, and worked with all of us over what were incredibly complex and difficult negotiations. lou had tremendous business and other personal commitments during that time period and we were all amazed at how he truly went above and beyond what is required to serve our city. he was able over this time period to achieve a consensus that frankly i did not expect i think many of us were pessimistic it when we walked into this process on what we were able to do. and, so, because of that in addition to a resolution that we're going to pass to honor lou's work, we have a proclamation signed by all 11 of my colleagues. i wish that this proclamation was in the form of a bat sign because what i would like to do if we have trouble in the future, lou, is put up the bat sign and call you back into service if you so choose. but in all seriousness, i cannot thank you enough. i know that we hav
