the purpose of utility undergrounding is to eliminate the overhead wires along leland avenue. that is both for ease of maintenance and aesthetics. this was the number one request of the community coming out of the planning process in 2006. the scope of this current request is covered, design work, including utility agencies, on the run in districts, community outreach, and development of a funding plan for the property owner conversion portion of the work. the total request about is $215,000.800 $60. -- $215, 868, 000. >> thank you. let's hear from the budget director. >> i would note, the public library used to million dollars of the requested infrastructure funds that are being requested to be appropriated under this ordinance. that would be to prepay library preservation fund that had already been advanced and expended for this project. also on page 7 of the report, we point out this infrastructure fund has an available balance of $1.7 million, however, the proposed ordinance would appropriate $2.3 million. so therefore, given there are not sufficient funds currently in the

the tunnel, the leland avenue. the knee study does it on a broad level. a person takes this many trips and therefore there is there much of an impact and it broadens the categories of where it can be spent. it can be spent on transportation projects in executive park, in bayview community. it broadens where the fee can be spent. it doesn't expand the fee, but because the methodology is changed, it expands where you can spend that fee. >> thank you. >> commissioner? >> although i respect supervisor maxwell's desire to see this resolved before she leaves office, and i respect her work -- she has always been a real ally, but i would like to see more time spent with this. i remember when this discussion came up five years ago. i think there are still a lot of issues that need to be looked at closely, especially as it relates to executive park and how it relates to bayview and other issues that i don't think have been fully vetted. i think at least one commissioner was here at the time, and this same issue came up as i remember it. so i support given it more t

leland avenue, i don't know if you have seen that yet, but it is remarkable. that was because of the fee. we were able to help pay for undergrounding. when you consider there is going to be a lot more people, and leland avenue is one of those wented to bring in to make this a complete neighborhood. we wanted to make sure we had this fund and that the fund was the best that it could be, and especially -- it was one of the first. since then, as i mentioned earlier, you all have looked at things and tried to do a better job. i am understanding that, yes, you are going to be able to build a 5,000 maybe square foot room and get all of that. we said understanding that that was on the books, we will then make it so that will be by right. then if you want the entire amount, that you would have to go through a process. we were not saying that is not going to be the case, that you cannot have all of this, but that there would be a process. since then a lot more has come into the valley. we want to make sure that we were using our resources for the community and certainl

i have been to leland avenue and i have seen a small section that has seen some significant street scape improvements, and it is amazing. especially in a part of the city like visitacion valley that does not have anything like that. we can look at valencia, ocean avenue where we have these types of improvements, but not visitacion valley. i appreciate the work of the committee to bring that forward and to put this as a priority. the library is a special asset in the neighborhood. i appreciate all of your work on it. colleagues -- supervisor mirkarimi: i would agree, motion to except with recommendations. supervisor avalos: we will take that without objection. mr. young, please call -- do we have the department of real estate here? ok, item #2. >> item 2. resolution approving and authorizing an agreement for purchase and sale of real estate to obtain two permanent, exclusive, subsurface easements from cargill, inc., for the purpose of constructing the san francisco public utilities (sf puc) commission water system improvement program-funded project no. cuw36801, bay division pipeline reli
