mr. chiu. >> thank you and mr. rich i want to thank you for the leadership on these projects and with the work in the city and hunter's point, and treasure island and other areas that we have some of the community benefits going to transportation, but i was struck by the last bullet that the funding generated through the development agreements is a critical but partial look at the picture and can you quantify what transit demand would be by these projects what percentage of the upcoming need roughly? are we filling 80% of the need? 20% of the need? do you have a sense? >> unfortunately i can't do that. we don't know enough about the projects in the future to do that. i think the important thing to realize -- to make sure that the projects carry their weight but i think that we need broader funding solutions and that's just what i was trying to set up and you're looking for more specifics and can the projects cover 20%? 80%? i just don't have that right now. >> i appreciate that and the numbers are hard to get at. w

chiu. (applause) >> thank you, mr. mayor. and for the record, my recollection was there was only one door slammed, and i can't remember exactly who did it. [laughter] >> this is a great day for the health of san francisco. this is a great day for the future health of our city. i'm so delighted to be here. and let me also say that it was about a year ago that a couple of us at the board, including supervisor cohen, we held a very different press conference over on the board side and i am just amazed and so grateful that we have come as far as we have gotten to where we are today. it takes a village to build two hospitals and i want to take just a brief moment to thank everyone who has been part of that village starting first and foremost with the community. the leadership behind the elected leaders here who ensured that this is a deal that's not only good for health care, but ensures that we are meeting our local hiring needs, our housing needs, our transportation needs, our neighborhood needs around the city. and, of course,

board of supervisors, and the supervisor from our very own district three, david chiu. [ applause ] >> thank you, tailor. mr. mayor, if it is okay, could you and i just declare it a city holiday today so we don't have to go back to work and hang out here on pier 39? >> i want to thank all of you who are the incredible diversity of the community that is the port. the community that our water front peers and our wharfs. this is the story of our city. our port has really defined our past as i think that we all know, the first 49ers came right here to this spot to build this city, during world war ii, our military ships were recommissioned, right here from our port. we know that our friends from labor as the mayor said, built our city, starting here with this water fort and this is the story of our city and we also know that the water front in the port defines who we are and it is amazing in 2013, if you just walk along the water front in my district, you will start at the fisherman's wharf street scape improvements and to the cruise ship terminal that we just cut the ribbon for and you walk down to the termina

mr. mayor. now it's my pleasure to introduce president david chiu who would like to say a few words. >> thank youo much. good morning. this announcement today is about how we best prepare being ground zero. ground zero in a number of meanings. first of all, san francisco, we are ground zero when it comes to emergency preparedness. i want to thank the department of emergency management and all of the folks who as a community ensure that just as we had to recover after the 1906 fire just as we recovered after loma-prieta in 1989, we know that the big one will hit us with a certainty over the next 30 years and we have to be prepared. but san francisco is also ground zero for another wonderful phenomenon, and that is the sharing economy, the collaborative consumption movement that many of the folks here represent. i want to thank those of you who are innovating, thinking about how can we better use resources, how can we better share services, how can we ensure our housing, our transit, our tasks a shared among each other to maximize benefits for all our local communities. today obviously we are mergi

mr. david for speaking on the project. >> thank you very much. david chiu. i have to say, i'm actually glad that i had a lot of people come before he and thank the hundreds of people that made this possible. i have a speech here that some 20 minutes long so i made sure i covered everybody. there is so many people involved. i will start with. forgive me if i start rambling off like some oscar winner. i would like to thank my mom and my dog. i would like to thank the leadership that made this possible. mayor lee, when you first heard about this project, you embraced it fully, you took it on and you said let's make it happen. you marshalled your departments to find ways to make this a reality. your leadership really is the only reason to some degree that we are actually here today looking at our brand new street. thank you, mayor lee. [ applause ] >> supervisor chiu, when you first came to the district, i think he was taken a back by the veracity of the issues around here. he had the wherewithal to know that this was a project worth fighting for. he championed

understanding where we're at and president chiu you said 25 feet difference but i thought i heard they're at 480. >> right now it's at 480 but according to mr. jeffreys there was a willingness in the conversations in the last days to consider 450. i would put it out that was the conversation. >> perhaps the project sponsor can clarify. >> thank you supervisors and i apologize that mr. jeffreys isn't able to be here but i am authorized to speak on his behalf and spoke with him this afternoon. currently myelin i -- millennium is at 480 and we're not prepared to have that conversation today. >> i appreciate that and the conversations i had with mr. jeffreys i thought he was prepared or open to 450 feet and i am letting colleagues know the state and how truly close. >> and with participating as a participant and want to be mediator as the board of supervisors unless there is a resolution i would typically not -- even if someone were to say i'm open to that i wouldn't take that as their position or agreement to reduce the height unless there were an agreement and part of that agreement of course is dropping some of the talk about a ballot measur

mr. lazarus and let me call -- i an additional card. go ahead. >> thank you supervisors and congratulations on supervisor chiu's engagement. the chambers work closely with members of the board, with supervisor wiener, with the department on a variety of revenue ideas to move forward mta's mission to provide effective transit for the city. as was mentioned earlier today the chamber with the labor council allowing the state law to move forward next year with the vehicle license fee and we concur with the comments from supervisors today that need tos focused on transportation and transscpitd our own polling says the only way it passes it's tied to other charter amendment or ballot that directing the funding to transportation. whether we look at general obligation bonds, whether we look at the transit fare system that we use and the commitments both in new money and items such as moving expenses away from muni and its share of the current general fund, the cal train dollars that we need to put in with the counties and are there county solutions to get muni money back to miewn and he fund cal train in a different way and the su

chiu. >> thank you and i realized i should have thanked the chair for this hearing on this top and i can mr. reiskin and with the transportation and quality system. as you noted the mayor and i called for a blue ribbon committee and experts around the city and including yourself and supervisor wiener to put our heads together to figure out how to address the long-term needs and one top level question i have as i looked at your presentation i have seen different numbers on what the big number is for the next -- let's say 17 years until now and 2030 and i noticed you didn't sum it up and if you had a number and what you expect the needs for during that time per year or over the next two decades can you quantify that or can you not answer that? >> yeah. we have it quantified. it depends how you measure. what we originally proposed for the task force to do in the three duckets and i think it was the order of 6 billion between now and 2030 and again it measures how you measure, how you define -- that's what we were solving for so it's not the total need. it's the unfunded portion of the need. th
