and the ntc will have the mou that captures the regional agreement. supervisor cohen: also in this meeting, there was opportunity for contractors to learn more information on how to bid, where to bid on projects, particularly related to caltrain. >> that is a feature of our website as well. supervisor cohen: thank you very much. supervisor campos: thank you, commissioner. thank you to staff. we have a question from supervisor mar. supervisor mar: thank you for the presentation. i wanted to ask about the van ness brt in the geary corridor bus rapid transit as well. looks like the transportation authority is suggesting the center running brt and working with the mta to bring that forward on may 15 and to the ta on may 22 as well. my district, richmond, but i think district 5 are a justly awaiting the geary brt as well. i am wondering if you can reiterate the planning and the public outreach and the stakeholder outreach meetings and the public open houses that are coming up very soon with in district 5 and district one? >> absolutely, supervisor mar. tha

and all those needs have been that through the founder and the ntc funding that has been available. hopefully of we have got some sources for -- from private as well. a big reason why i voted the way i did this last time was because i was hoping, we were all hoping that private sources and i do not think anyone has a few million dollars lying around to give to this program to help make it happen for free muni for all youth. all that being said, i want to go back to this idea of what staff is saying and understanding that we have a working relationship here that we need to respect and trust and move forward. staff has taken a hard line the whole time i have been appear -- up here for year. we're going to have a difficult conversation about the budget after this. a lot of you here are not here for the low-income pass but you're here for the budget, i am sure it. we're counting pennies and dollars is literally where we're at. if we're going to go for free muni for all youth, it will be imperative that we do find those sources of revenue in creative ways like i was talking about with so

the hope is we will continue to engage our partners at the transbay jpa, mta, ntc, caltrain. on the federal front, there was a development. it was actually an amendment that was introduced into the house version of the surface transportation act. the amendment was introduced by a representative from elk grove. this amendment, if successful, would threaten court eliminate the $942 million, and it starts funding for the central subway. i do not know the people fully understand the magnitude of what is being proposed. we're working with the mayor's office here at the county transportation authority, with the federal transit administration, and our representatives in washington, d.c., to make sure this amendment is not successful, and that is something we all should watch. i know the central subway is a priority for not only the authority but for this entire board of supervisors. finally, a very important piece of good news. i think this builds upon the work that has been started between our executive director and the new director of transportation that the mta, ed reiskin. they

. >> when you walked out of your house in the morning or " your place of business ntc mattresses illegallyd, that is one of the things that makes a neighborhood feel run down. these mattresses, when they're outside cover the attract rodents, mold, germs, they're not easily recycle the and they can be dangerous. suppress it costs oakland about a half-million dollars a year to clean up. >>stanley: this is a rope tied to this utility pole in oakland. attached to the rope is a lot of the illegally dump stuff. under that is a mattress. across the street, there are two mattresses, and after them, to more. if you look around oakland, you will see some interesting things lying around like christmas trees in yes, it is almost me. not to mention, all of the furniture. the objects seen most on city streets are mattresses. they're just about everywhere. xbox this is some kind of man made a sculpture made from illegally dumped items. the stuffing is from a mattress. this matches was folded on top of a shopping cart in the this is a child's bed illegally dumped on the streets. every match is in this vid

ntc does have the authority to place a 10 cents per gallon gas tax. we have conducted a poll and we will be presenting those findings to the commission in april. gas prices are going up right now, so you can imagine that this might not be viewed favorably by a lot of people. this is one revenue option that is available to the region. we note that there are a lot of local measures. alameda is looking at replacing a sales-tax extension and increase on the ballot that would provide a significant amount of new funding for transit. we recognize the need to support those efforts. in the area of service performance, we are proposing slightly different approach here, which is to establish what we are calling the transit performance initiative and this is sort of a two-pronged approach that consists of an investment element and an incentive element. on the investment side, we would basically provide money to invest in improvements in the major transit corridors. speed improvements is a big one. what we have found is just over 50% of the transit trips are on ma

it is a site that you will not likely believe ntc is video.is surveillance video of a man who was a train surfing on a new leaf. if this were the was the only on kron4. >>stanley: you are looking at exclusive surveillance video from the new new-line, not far from stovetop galleria in san francisco. if you look to the right of the screen, you will see a man right here on wall of to be stopped train and climb on board but if you look closely he is not inside the train, he is actually writing in an area known as the coupler. it is what connects the train. and this guy is clearly not the brightest bolt on the entry. the train comes to return, he is ejected and dragged by the trade which shut down the line during a heart of rush-hour. >> from a state perspective, he injured himself by falling off of this. it is not meant to be written. in addition, he could have caused a very serious accident by rolling under a car or going under a tree. this >> what he did was idiotic, stupid and unsafe. as a result we want to make sure that people understand how

it's only those whose direct authorities are really implicated on the director of the ntcs, the nationalom. >> fran, was it possible during these delicate missions that that could have been compromised that someone could have eavesdropped on that transition? >> anything is possible but they use encrypted, coded communications so i think it's unlikely. the one thing she did say which i found fascinating was when she became secretary of state, her first meeting she confronted the pakistanis that someone in the pakistani government had to have known where bin laden was, and when they get the lead information that leads to this raid that does place him inside pakistan, in her remarks she never comes back to that. but it's clear she shared the sentiment that someone in the pakistan government had to have been aware of this. i think that's pretty telling. >> all right. fran townsend, thank you so much. i mean, it's just a fascinating story. new details coming out by secretary clinton today and obviously fran taking us through some of those details and what this means. it is a new time, a new e

we had a chance to see i think a more friendly nation, of ntc ahmadinejad replace but they sat on the hands. again, we lead from behind and that is the wrong policy. >> mr. lugar spent i had the privilege of seeing benjamin netanyahu three weeks ago when he came to washington, and discuss very frankly israel's situation and ours. the israeli aircraft to go to iran will depend upon refueling midway as they get there, and refueling on the way back. by whom? us a century. so this has to be a joint effort which we understand the issue. he understands very thoroughly the sanctions being place on the central bank on the economy of iran, prepared to work with us on that. but i agree with my friend that we really have to respect the fact that our alliance with israel, that will be critical in terms of final judgments on this issue. on the korean business, we really are at a point which we are trying once again to get the chinese involved. it's critical that we have some success there, but there is no stopping for the moment of a korean -- missile control which we hope we can exercise in japan

that means kicking the inspectors out, leaving the ntc and that would be something that we would seen our intelligence capabilities notwithstanding. that would be pretty remarkable. so iran's behavior up until now, up until now seems to me to be a country that wants to be in the scientific place, where they can break out if they so choose. i don't think they have made that choice. they just want to have that latent capability. your second question was about, with israel and the united states. can you just repeated? [laughter] c. i will take both of those up. my colleagues over your have raised a number of ideas that iran is going to stop at a virtual arsenal. we can wish that was the case. i don't see any reason to believe that is the case. iran has been very clear that it's its two primary strategic goals are to continue to exist which they think that means being able to deter a major u.s. or israeli military attack in their second goal in their strategy documents they have published in public is to become -- in the middle east. so my colleagues think they will go with the japan mod
