they are meant to provide guidance on managing the prop aa program. policies are based largely on prop k programs but tailored to fit the smaller scale in terms of revenue and number of programmatic categories. including the abysses on benefits and short-term and to reflect the guiding principles. we have done outreach to potential project sponsors and a number of stakeholders. we have made minor changes to based on that outreach and feedback from potential project sponsors. we will continue to work with sponsors to further develop the policies relating to design phase and tangible benefits of the program. the prioritization criteria for each of the three prop aa programmatic categories will be included in the five-year prioritization program and in the final strategic plan, which is a requirement of the expenditure plan. the board has the ability to shape the prop aa program of projects and what we eventually see with these funds through and put on and approval of the right -- prioritization criteria. the purpose is to help determine what is given th

he calls prop 30 a reasonable proposal. this morning here outside james lick middle school in san francisco, governor brown was surrounded by teachers and administrators from across the bay area all who support prop 30 and say they need more resources to help their students the governor made a passionate pitch to voters on his tax plan he's been working hard to get past. >> no campaign is a cake walk. this is a challenge. this is tall hill, but i didn't come back to be governor at my age just to try easy stuff. this is hard and i'm going to give everything i have between now and november to get this thing passed. >> if it does pass prop 30 would temporarily raise income taxes on people making more than $250,000 a year. it would also bump up the sales tax by a quarter cent. most of the revenue would be earmarked for k-12 education and by the governors estimate and additional $6.6 billion would be available for schools next year, but if prop 30 fails, trigger cuts would take effect and schools could take another $5.4 billion

i want to point out, in the prop b section, $44.8 million allocated by the state.bond sale that will bring in $34.6 million later this fall. on

up the economy does it do anything at this point even to prop up banks. no this most recent decision was punting i think they did it to look like they were doing something really it didn't expand their balance sheet so it's not the equivalent of printing all they're doing is taking shorter dated maturity treasuries and swapping them one for one with longer dated maturity treasuries so if they take the ten year and they drag it from one point five all the way down to one point three percent is that going to reignite the animal spirits in the las vegas housing market i do not so you know i don't see how this is really going to do much incrementally at the margin it does nothing and very little and so i think that the federal reserve as if it is some people think they are miss placed there because history says quite often we find that they're a little behind the times that they go a little bit more slowly they're waiting for data to come in to support their decision some of that date is a quarter old or two quarters old so it's driving through the rearview m

the cac ací.lvhow the demolition was tied to prop k funds.e authority staff responded that if in the prop k programs, because it was part of the funds set aside for the downtown terminal expansion program and that the demolition of the pier was considered essential to bring in that project to completion. this motion passed by the cac unanimously and the modification at the staff recommended regarding the desigt requiring the mta to perform overhauls of the upgrades of critical components. once they reached age of five or six years. the mta did not complete the necessary overhauls. mta staff would have provided the authority with the explanation of why these overalls were not completed. item seven, this motion was passed by the cac and there was concern that the cac be consistently asked to support the allocation of funds. the full fund grant payment is in place. the authority assured the cac that having the local match was essential to receiving the federal funds. item eight, this item was passed unanimously by the cac. this concludes my repo

howard about prop h. i saw that the mayor proposed pulling the trigger, which i think reduces the cash contribution fo. i know in the past we have done that because of awful budget years, not at this year is perfect, but it does improved. maybe i could get the mayor's rationale for pulling the trigger once again. >> i can mention the role and then ms. howard can comment on the policy implication. the voter mandate for proposition h. did allow for the mayor and the board of supervisors to reduce the voter adopted funding allocation to the school district. the shortfall exceed $100 million. that leaves this option open for the board and mayor. >> supervisors, a kid howard. budget director. the threshold was met. as you recall, the projected to shortfalls at the time of the report were $170 million and $312 million. for that reason this seem to be an appropriate part of balancing. you will note the budget does on the full transfer of the rainy day fund to the school district. supervisor wiener: i am not expr

does it have something to do with prop a? i said it has nothing to do with prop a. recology is a good example of a large company that is very successful because the partners with small companies. 78% of all of the trash in at this city is diverted away from landfills. that is because this company works with all of you. we have finally figured out in this city -- it took a while, what goes in the blue came in, what goes in the green can, what goes in the black can. [laughter] it took a while, but we figured it out. now we are number one in the country. [applause] yes, thank you. we are probably the no. 1 in the world. if we say it, it is real. [laughter] congratulations to recology. which brings me to the final point. tonight is n aboutolitics. it is about celebrating award winners. i cannot help myself. we have the most successful operation of recycling and composting in the country. there is a proposition on the ballot, prop a, that will undermine and destroy the reputation. i encourage all of you to vote no on prop a. it would break this company into five pieces.

actively working because the state has defunded all the prop 36 courts in efforts across the state. so i think this provides senator leno's bill really does the right thing and tries to move in a direction that's not contingent to how much money is available within one jurisdiction or not and actually frees up $64 million of general fund at the state level that could be reinvested into services. i know when you look at realignment, for example, here in san francisco, a 1/3 of our plan, a third of our dollars for realignment has been invested in substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment and housing but we've made that choice. i think if you compare us, though, to many other jurisdictions, we have a collaborative court continuum that is unmatched in other parts of the state. so i think to say they wood, it's not happening. and if you look at other jurisdictions throughout the state, you'll find heavy incarceration rates and not used. in fact the prosecutor is not using those programs. we're very fortunate in our district attorney. he is very visionary, and i just commend him

it could fit in obag or could be prop k or prop aa, it is all the same to us.e have got to get that out. supervisor avalos: thank you. ok, thank you for your presentation. we can open it up for public comment. any member of the public? seeing none, we will close public comment. this is an information item, so we can go on and to our next item. >> item 12, introduction of new items, information item. conversation around how the city is looking at expanding its accessible traffic stops with audible traffic signals, so i think that will be great to have as a presentation in september. that is a discussion we had earlier today. colleagues, in the other items for introduction? ok. public comment on this item? supervisor olague: i just have an item i would like to maybe request. yesterday, some of u3

. >> and there was a proposition -- >> prop g passed and since 2002 all general advertising signs are illegal and no new ones since that time. >> and means you're advertising something that is not for sale on the premises? >> right. >> but existing billboards are allowed to be retained? >> exactly. as long as they had the proper permits they're allowed to be maintained until the end of their natural life. >> and in order to assure that they were erected with the proper permits and that they are the right size they are now required to have a notice on them and i think we may have one of these notices somewhere. >> per planning section code they need the permit number that authorizes the sign, the sign company and the dimensions of the sign, so you will see those numbers up on the signs. >> somebody has a question. >> was there any interest to eliminate them from the city? would there be any possibility to do that. >> with prop g i mean there is natural attrition as the signs age -- >> (inaudible). >> exactly and with the inventory and with the survey we will be doing and identify signs

as we know every single proposition on the california resident grew up there and everything every prop has a whole lot of money backers on both sides who have something to gain and something to lose but what i'm curious about is why not put that money into convincing people and educating people on what you just said to me which is that you know science quite a few scientists have shown that genetically engineered foods are in fact safe to eat why not educate the people instead of trying to prevent it from appearing on labels. well i believe that they do educate people in that regard by a particular thing and i want to stress that what i was looking at with this is whether or not the people who were in favor of the proposition were making anti scientific arguments i don't want to get necessarily into the labeling education argument i just want to make sure that people understand that the folks that are saying yes to proposition thirty seven are doing it for less than honorable reasons they are actually misleading california voters about where the science stands on the safety of these pr

i appreciate the fact that we are under prop. a. while the program presented may not be perfect, i hope as things are analyzed down the road, there may still be opportunities to make adjustments as necessary, which was something that could not be done prior. i hope there is continued tweaking that might go on as we move down the road. again, that is an opportunity that you have that we might not have had under another type of legislation. i support what your doing and hope we continue to make it better. >> good afternoon, directors. i sent you an e-mail this morning, and we already knew that mr. malcolm heinicke was going to raise the price back to $200,000. why is he dictating this industry? why is he meeting with people? if this is a true story and if he is running this, all of it is just for nothing. it is sad. they have to lose their money to come here and speak. they have to pay $300,000 when there is no business in the city now. it is a different year now. when the drivers are circling around the city hall and did not come to

not only for prop 30 and 38 but for moss of the other ones on the ballot. >> especially prop 30 and 38you know, if the understanding it is the difficult part, when you have the two competing propositions and people look at those, very likely someone may say, i can't figure it out, i'm going to say no to everything. >> you got it. >> larry, thank you for joining us. always appreciate it. you can tap into larry's knowledge any time on nbcbayarea.com, check out prop zero blog. >>> much more ahead on "today in the bay" -- a lotto mistake winds up winning $1 million. >> that's a nice mistake to have. take a look outside around the san mateo bridge this morning. you've got a few layers of low clouds, a mix of sunshine, cooler finish to the weekend. your full sunday forecast is coming up when we come back. >>> good morning, there's lots to do today in the bay. as you know, the last few weeks we've had hot august days in places but we'll start this off with the hot august night in los gatos. hot august afternoon or evening. anyways, it's a fund-raiser for leukemia and lymphoma society. it's a

call it a war on crumbs is the type of people we see at the hall of justice, i brought with me some props. i brought with me a sweetener packet. this is a gram of sweetener. most of the time this is on the high end of the amount of narcotics we see people in possession of. sometimes people have two or three sweetener packages on them and we call them drug dealers, you know. that's why we call it a war on crumbs because the amounts we are talking about are mine us schedule. -- minnesota us schedule. the fact -- are miniscule. and based on less than a packet of sweetener, to me is outrageous. and to me this is a positive first step, in my opinion, because at least you remove some of the stigma attached to this type of issue which in my opinion should be a public health issue. it's a public health issue for a certain segment of the community and should be a public health community issue for everybody. [applause] >> tal, let me follow up and just say opponents of mark leno's measure would say it's not the amount of drug that somebody is in possession of, the fact that they're using drugs indi

prop 38.s neither is a shoo-in. both raise taxes for supporting schools. prop 30 would raise $6 billion a year, prop 38 would raise $10 billion a year for 12 years. we all know that initiatives that raise taxes notoriously tough to push through. the rule of thumb is that tax measures need to start the fall campaign with about 60% of the vote get through all of the negative ads and actually ultimately pass. >> happening right now, a plane has landed on a freeway a little off the roadway there it looks like in tampa, florida. looks like a small plane that went down close to the roadway. we don't know, you see emergency personnel there, we don't know if any one was injured in this landing. pictures just coming in. that happening in tampa, florida. >> we'll give you that one. we'll keep you posted that the moment, christina loren. >> it's changing moment by moment. >> as it does. >> it does. especially here. especially when it comes to those low clouds. one of the hardest things to forecast is fog
