with a proposed prioritization methodology and a draft for these conversations. the mechanics of this will say we are doing the baseline now which set for here is how much money is available. then we work with the project sponsors to say, in the next five years what would you like to deliver, that's a conversation that starts with the authority board and which should be the lead to develop for each category. as i mentioned at the beginning of the presentation, some categories have multiple project sponsors. bikes, as an example. the mta can sponsor projects. it no the a retail row. it's the mta to be responsible to meet with cal trans and bart to develop projects. we would invite other interested partners who ma want to coordinate a projector be part of that conversation and also outreach requirements that the sponsors have to take as well as multiple assistants and advisory committee and the board and outreach that will be going on this spring in the summer. so very briefly here is a schedule that is in more detail on page 45 of your packet. the idea that the ma

now that the 5 year prioritization program, i will not read these. it slides are showing you the 21 categories covers from rehab project to escalator project, the bus rapid transit project and signals and signs and these projects we love that are delivered throughout the neighborhood, planting of trees. >> miss lombardy oh, we have a question. >> in part of going into your presentation if you can maybe delve into at some point how do you ensure equity in terms of allocation of resources especially among the supervisory districts to make sure we are not neglecting any part of the city. i think this is a general question that we've had in the past. if you can as you are going through your presentation if you can point to how that is addressed thank you? >> perfect timing for the next slide. equity, where it gets addressed in the -- they are highly -- programs. they have two main pieces of concern can one is the prioritization methodology. how do we decide which gets funded and which don't. there is a project with 5 year scope. the expenditure plan has

they are not required to have prioritization plans and they have a one line item with particular funding. then we have early summer and early fall. if we find we need to, we can extend the schedule. so that sponsors can plan ahead. these are the major capital projects that are in the expenditure plan that will be updated in june. with that i will be happy to answer any questions. this will be on the website as of today. >> colleagues, are there any questions? miss lombardy, when projects fall behind schedule and delayed like bart for example is there a way toen is that to ensure that we move that we move in line so funds are available. if a project is delayed due to unforeseen circumstances how do we ensure that it's still a priority. >> when a project is started when it suddenly doesn't become not a priority. we get it back on track. one of the things we'll do with project sponsors is look at all the open projects and stages of funding like planning and environmental and typically those become a priority for funding. but it will be a conversation with all of the public. bart will be up

in september of 2012 the board adopted a schedule and prioritization for this program. those are included in your packet as well as 58, 59 and 61. three key things to think about is project redness to make sure these projects are coming from project processes, that they have a strong funding plan. that they have identified a lot of the design issues that need to be identified before they move forward to the federal aid process. prioritizing projects. in december the board adopted an initial pool of candidate projects. that brought our application amount from $62 million to $54 million. we have $34 million available. it describes those projects and rank and the project reduction if we run out of funding at the project question we are at now. the point where we are now is we created a 2-prong process where to spend december through april really going through those projects again to see if there are other sources we can use and making sure design issues are identified and public outreach and we are right in the middle that have process right now. with the expectation that

please prioritize affordable housing for low-income residents of soma. who will benefit public transportation if we are being thrown out of our own community? disclose our community, this location could be a huge impact for our family. i can see that housing is the number one problem in our city more than the public transportation. the city is conducive for walking and it's more beneficial for help. we are going to work, church, and store. my plea to you, my dear supervisors, please attend to our needs for affordable housing for low-income family like me. thank you. >> thank you, ms. [speaker not understood]. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is jesus. i'm also [speaker not understood]. i work at south of market. and the city needs more affordable housing. we need -- we should be pending against the different needs of the city. and say why? because i work with a lot of families that live in soma and we need affordable housing. so, i wish you put in more housing. thank you. >> thank you, mr. perez. >>> [speaking through interpreter] good afternoon,

we have to prioritize this. we know the budget games we have to play to balance it out. it all comes together with this very important topic with our transitional age youth. we are very willing in our city to prioritize ourselves, and make sure we don't keep the generations of kids going with the same type of habits. that's why in addition to these programs we authored ipo, interrupt predictive analysis and organizing effort to deal with public safety issues involving our youth. we have to do more to interrupt those patterns out there. we have to do more to use data to predict and analyze where the high-crime rates are to get people in a safe environment. once they are there, we have to be consistent with continuum of support to give and support people transition out of those dangerous habits and not go back. this will take a lot of time and a lot of coordination. but it's very meaningful to see so many people committed to doing this. i hope we stay the course and not give up. it's easy to when budget hits. or sequestration because the federal governmes

and i just would add that maybe some additional effort on prioritizing those who qualify for affordable housing who work for cpmc whether it be down payment assistance, which any of us would qualify for as san francisco residents if we meet a certain financial threshold, but taking an extra step potentially in this opportunity to really support the workers of this potential hospital in san francisco. i'd like to see potentially a little bit more effort made. and i'll just want to make a statement and then i'll allow my colleagues to move forward with this. today, we are being presented with an outline for an agreement, and this is absolutely incredible. i'm actually really excited about this because i thought that it wouldn't come to pass so quickly and i want to thank the people who labored for months and in many cases years to get us to this point. i specifically want to thank the nurses, housing transportation and community advocates who fought for a better deal, even when everyone else was ready to relent. and specifically i want to thank rome a guy for always keeping me abreast of

, we prioritize things when we put them on a to-do list or on a calendar.ge. >> true. but you can't complain about, you can't squeeze in time for your romance. there's no squeezing time. >> what advice do you give to a couple who says, our kids are important, we just don't have time? >> i say you haven't prioritized your relationship. it ain't in first place. show me first place and say, okay, are you putting your date night on the calendar before anything else? >> that's what they should do? >> absolutely. >> what if you're about to get a dog. >> but here's the thing -- >> this is going to complicate everything, including your love life. >> spending time with your partner, husband, yourself, doesn't have to be in the bedroom. if you're getting a dog, go for a walk together. >> see! >> include each other. >> the dog is going to help me, not hurt me. >> i think the dog's going to be wonderful for you. i just know you're not going to believe how it changes the dynamic of your everyday life, right? >> the question i always ask couples is, okay, is this romanti

he seemed to de-prioritize it,

we will prioritize the applications based on speed and volume and collisions and finding what the top locations are for each year. because we know that -- even with the prioritization within the application base track it still is the one applications that we receive from residents, so we want to reserve funding for doing -- sort of local pro-active efforts which we still achieving the benefits but focus on locations there is increased biking and walking and that might be partnering with another program and it might make it more comfortable and looking for those opportunities and improving geographic opportunity if there are areas that we receive more applications than others we want an opportunity to see if anything is missed through the application process, so the improvements we're recommending is about $500,000 a year and the other is $600,000 a year and for the school track we wanted to be more proactive and reduce speeds around schools and we match through the traffic calming projects and increase school area safety that include traffic calming as a component. a lot of funding wi

the past with information items there is 3.1 billions dollars in truly discretionary funds to prioritization through the sft p and split it among the groups i think close to .6 in each category, so that's one way of doing it, or you could think about addressing sort of a similar percentage of need in each category, and so this -- what you see is an example of that. take that 3.14 billion sort of achieve a certain similar percentage of the need in that category across all categories. and there are other ways to think about the guiding framework for the investment scenario. we could focus on sogr exclusively and we will continue the historic levels of funding and programs. we will invest in the top projects that have gotten a lot of development so far, the tep, geary brt and with the rest of the funds focus on sogr operations and maintenance. >> [inaudible] >> state of good repair. >> state of good repair. >> yes. and that includes the repair of both the transit system and the street network so transit, capital, the vehicles, the overhead trolley wires, keeping them in repair as well as pot ho

we will prioritize and accomplish the mission as we normally would do. there are prioritization said we would look at in terms of deployment of resources to border patrol agents. it will have an impact in terms of reduced capability. >> admiral? >> as the secretary has testified it will be a two of its 75 officer cut, about 12.5% of our staff. points of entry would have significant impact on the time and our ability to move people. >> the coast guard will also have a reduction in operations but we are going to preserve our operations -- preserve our capability to respond. >> thank you. >> we will have the ability for a second round of questions later. i recognize the ranking minority member. >> thank you very much. a number of us for quite awhile have been trying to get a comprehensive border strategy. we tried to encourage the department to come up with it. chief, can you tell us where we are all along this development of a strategy for the border to secure it? >> yes, sir. first and foremost a couple of years ago when we began looking at our strategy w

so the president can move around and prioritize. he doesn't want to have to pick between sick children and disabled children. no one wants to do that. but if you don't want to make hard choice, don't get involved in politics. he has known this was coming for two years. >> two years. >> it's his idea. >> it's his idea. he signed it into law! he's acting like it's the first he's heard of it. >> look, i don't want to hurt starving children, disabled children. i don't want anybody to lose a job. but the american people were asked to give up 2% in additional taxes recently. so it's hard for at least for me to understand why the federal government, those who representative the government can't find 2.4% to take out of the increased spending. we're not asking them to reduce spending. we are talking about slowing down the spending growth by 2.4%. why can't you find it in the budget? >> lwe ought to be able to. some of us in the house have found it. but as you know and the summer of 2011, they couldn't do it so that's why sequestration was p

your objective is to set up a command structure and prioritize the incident. what is the first incident you want to respond to and why? what is the second incident you would respond to, and why? you would continue this process until all the incidents have been addressed. and you have to always remember what's the model of the nert program? come on, everyone, let's go. do the most good for the most amount of people. those who pick priority 1, 35 people reported missing or injured. what's the goal of the nert program? let's repeat it again. do the most good for the most amount of people. so, thus, what's the second incident you would go to? 9 elderly people. this is what you have to deal with. once you dealt with people, then you would respond to other incidents. what is the mission of the fire department? save lives, protect property. life is much more important than property. all right, let's move on. so we've dealt with the people. once we dealt with the people incidents, they will now do property. so no particular order now. there's no particular order, we'r

so the president can move around and he can prioritize it. i think he said this week he doesn't want to have to pick between sick children and disabled children. no one wants to pick between them. if you don't want hard choices, don't get involved in politics. he's known this was coming for two years, two years he could have-- >> it's actually his idea, so-- >> and he signed it into law and he's acting like it's the first he's heard of it. >> greta: i don't want to hurt starving children on disabled children or anyone to lose a job, however, the american people were asked to give you 2% in additional taxes recently so it's sort of hard for at least for me to understand why the federal government, those who represent the government, can't find 2%. 2.4% to take out of the increased spending. we're not even asking them to reduce spending, we're talking about slowing down the spending growth by 2.4% so if we can find it in our wallets, why can't you all find it in the budget? >> we ought to be able to and some of us in the house have found it, bu

who are prioritizing innovation to reduce gun violence. we have a subcommittee that will quickly review those opportunities and then, syndicate investment in those opportunities. we can build some huge companies around this issue. and then, the third effort is the sandy hook innovation challenge which is a prize effort that jim pitco will tell you more about right now. thank you. >> thank you. and i want to thank the individuals and families from sandy hook

so they have to prioritize, and will they prioritize somebody who does have great linguistic skills andand spread the gospel. somebody who has sort of the mind of an mba, who can fix what's wrong in the vatican bureaucracy. what do you think looking at? >> i keep getting this idea that the more we try to create a casting call for the pope, that we want tall short or some kind of ethnicity, the more we're going to create a box for the next pope that's impossible to fulfill. i keep think what we're going to be looking for is first and foremost, a man that comes out of that conclave with all of the cardinals standing behind him. that's what i want to see. i want to see him come out of that balcony and see the cardinals standing, smiling because they trust him. because once they trust him, it will be a whole lot easier for the rest of us to small in line. >> we expect to see the first puffs of smoke later today. thank you. they'll be with us as well throughout the process. that's going to do it for jansi"jansing and co." thomas roberts is up next. >> great hour from rome. we'll be talking t

we must prioritize the economy, and power energy growth, reform education. believe we are starting for leadership -- starving for leadership. i believe revitalization must be addressed on the state and national level. as conservatives, or identity has become lost amidst diverging messages. we need laserlike focus on the economy. we need to analyze every proposal in light of, will this get america back to work? we need to get people working by reducing the government's role in creation of jobs. my state's motto, mountaineers are always free, which is a delicate means to me that we need to limit government and create more workers independence. in west virginia and so many other states, this means treating a level playing field for all businesses, regardless of their union status. west virginia is the perfect ground for our national principles. west virginians are fiscally conservative, we have the best rainy day fund in the nation, but nonetheless, employment has in my state.ed when liberals are the cause of the low economy, they seem to blame conservatives. i

so i am here to talk about how we have to prioritize our city parks. i echo what dennis has

who are prioritizing innovation to reduce gun violence. we have a subcommittee that will quickly review those opportunities and then, syndicate investment in those opportunities. we can build some huge companies around this issue. and then, the third effort is the sandy hook innovation challenge which is a prize effort that jim pitco will tell you more about right now. thank you. >> thank you. and i want to thank the individuals and families from sandy hook promise and from our local communities came all the way here today to join us. and i had a chance to meet with some of the families last evening and was deeply moved by their courage and commitment to inspiration to me, and i hope that it is an inspiration to all of us. i am the chairman of the sandy hook promise technology committee to reduce gun violence. we are a committee composed of technology experts. spanning hardware and often wear and interprize applications and internet technology and gun safety technologies. we came together right after the tragic shootings in newtown to supp

this is an amendment of the vehicles-muni 5-year prioritization program and koar ponding amendment and i won't go over the five year plan because that is covered in a item later that maria is presenting. this is for a five year program of projects that the agencies will be implemententing and the plans need to be in place before allocations are made. in 2009 when the authority board adopted the five year plan for the vehicles category the plan was programming of $57 million over the five year period and the majority of the funds were anticipated to be needed in the first three years and for vehicle replacements and including para-transit vehicles and trolleys and other vehicles and some historic rehabilitation projects. for a variety of reasons the procurement has been delayed, if you will, to the latter portion of the five year plan period, so these reasons include mta has recently updated its fleet plan and revised its fleet procurement strategy to incrementally refresh the fleet with staggered procurements. they have been coordinated with us for the other project and now that the lo
