mrs. chang >> good morning chair wiener [inaudible] last week i was prevologed to join the city trip dc with san francisco chamber of commerce to adhaveicate for transportation policy on a transporpation bill. the news from washington is brighter than 2 weeks ago. senator boxer said her committee will be marking up a bill with chair [inaudible] in june and that hopefully will set up a 2 month cycle and perhaps avoid another 6 month extension as some in congress have talked about to get to the long term bill that allows all of us to have a certainty to rely on transportation. 24 governor announced the may revice oof the budget and incancluded an significant increase in cap and trade revenues. this was reviceed from 1 billion to 2.2 billion and typically 60 percent of that money is for transportation so he bumped that up to 73 percent including 100 million dollars for transit operations, 265 million for capital improvement and 200 million for affordable housing and additional funding for high speed rail, about 500 million dollars. this is a increase over last year and continue to advocate for

supervisor wiener >> thank you mr. chairman. i want to thank president breed and our office for their leadership on the very important piece of legislation. i was proud to play president breeds wing man on this one and her office did a extraordinary job work wg the community and city department to make this a realty. this legislation is long over' due. we know noithd life is very important to the culture of the city and also the economy of the city. when one of the first things i did is and for a economic report which shows night life is 4.2 billion dollar industry. we improve late night transportation but it is all for not if the late night establishments struggle to survive. the city is becoming more crowded and putting more housing in which is important but as the population grows we all have to learn i think to get along together in different kinds of ways and we no longer have the luxury of having live music venues that are isolated on their own with nothing anywhere near them. that is harder and harder to do given the curr

. >> supervisor wiener, any comments? >> question for mr. benson. i know you touched on this before, but if this were not sole-sourced, how would the process proceed? what would we see here? >> we have never done something like supervisor kim is suggesting. in the absence of any prospective tenant, normally for a development project like this, we would have a concept, say a hotel and entertainment use. developed through the community process. then we would do a request for qualifications and we would be looking for a development partner who has the experience and financial capacity to develop the site. and then we would go through a negotiation, where we establish fair-market value for the sites, looking at comps and using apraisals and other similar mechanisms that are standard for a real estate negotiation. and then bring that through the public approval process through the budget analyst for their review. we very infrequently do an actual rfp, where we're bidding price, and particularly we don't usually use an rfp for a development project. where

mr. in place abused what it seems like wiener we're about to do is change the policy decision on the fly without noticing the public and fully understanding the scope what is the threshold we'll be approving waivers we should know that i'll say that based on the letter that was drafted to me that i would not approve that because it is contains no rational for why the waiver is being contraband if we're to grant a waiver we fled the rational in the letter that is granting the waiver and certainly i wouldn't want it to be happening my personal view if the statute of limitations applies we should grant the waiver i understand people want officials held account i do don't i understand statute of limitations are unpopularity with the public but i don't think our job to do whatever you know seems the wave seem to be encompasses if the statute of limitations apply it is noting not fair to make a public official go so there a lengthy court procedures e procedure if we don't think that - if we believe it applies if we don't believe it applies point of privilege based on the record and this letter
