dollars under the next prop a priorityization updates or future prop aa funds, which come about as a result of cost savings from other prop aa projects or program funds from projects that maybe fell behind in schedule and unable to allocate funds in the year which they were programmed within prop aa. examples of other opportunities. transit reliability and mobility improvements. in this categoris that rose to top have strong impact on transit accessibility and reliability. not recommended, for example, the city college, have less impact on project than physical barriers or capacity limitations like others we recommended. as a final note the sfmta submitted travel time projects from muni routes currently in environmental review under transit effectiveness, tep, included are environmental impact. until the ier is done, we feel there is uncertainty around scope, schedule and cost but we realize eligibility was written specifically with tep projects in mind. given all that we have recommended, including a place holder for the rapid network projects, including the bsrt project in the last

prop k came hot on heels and went to the public. prop m came after prop k. people who are not in the department feel absolutely correct in saying the downtown plan called for this result. it called for thousand-foot buildings into the transit center. even though the downtown plan rezoned the area south of market for the highest height, we are going to outstrip those heights. the planning department is very good at making up tales. that is what this is. i was involved in the beginning. union square and the port litigating. out of that came prop k because people had no confidence in this commission to say no but now you are supposed to have confidence that we are going to do the balancing of the public good and when has the planning department not found a public good for a project spectrum? i'm waiting. i look at this and say this is really throwing out of prop k. you are not doing it honestly by taking it to the voters. you have a recommendation that was flashed on the screen. what was the recommendation on this proposal by the task force that was put up. the

from prop aa. the commissioner asked to speak to. the goal to speak to the city and how they are prioritized. [ indiscernible ] >> thank you for coming in and responding to that request in the last transit and programs meeting. it is important to get in terms of our showing equitable distribution of the count down signals. >> appreciate your time. melita velasco. i'm here to provide an over view with the count down signal projects within the city to. briefly touch upon the status of the signal installation, the city is a pioneer in terms of the count down signals. we started in 2000. i understand new york started in 2011, just last year that. is something we are very proud of and continue to do this rewarding and safety-related work. our goal is to add these pedestrian countdown signals and automatically ready when we put in new, they are by default included in those kind of projects. of course count down signals is one measure that we are implementing as part of the mayor's safety strategy. i can

now, if prop 30 fails, or if prop 38 gets more votes than prop 30, what will happen is very clear. there will be almost $6 billion worth of automatic cuts to k-12 education. higher education, other public services. and the money that arun talks about, under prop 38, will not even kick in, until after the two to three weeks of the school year have already been lopped off this particular academic year. and in addition, the state budget deficit will continue to linger at a number between $3 billion and $5 billion. proposition 30 gives californians the opportunity to end one very painful era in california and begin a new and a better chapter. and finally, as much as we all desperately want to add funding for public education, you can't add funding until you have a balanced budget. and that's our opportunity here with passing proposition 30. >> let me ask you, though, why would the legislature sort of pass the buck onto the average californian to vote on this? why wouldn't just, in the budget process, you figure this out? >> it's a fair question. and the reason is very clear. to raise t

against prop 30 specifically. people called it a murder suicide. her proposition wasn't doing well in the polls so she decide to do put money, instead of advertising hers, into attacking his. just almost as soon as he somehow prevailed upon them or they decided to pull that ad off the air, $11 million shows up both to fight prop 30 and to advocate for prop 32 which is widely seen as a measure to deprive unions of the main financing methods that they have for political activity. it came from out of state from an organization, as you mentioned before, called americans for responsible leadership, and they don't have to say a word and they're not saying a word about where that $11 million comes from. >> josh, this is legal. >> completely legal. >> why does arizona care about wh c happens in california? >> it may be telling that the head of this organization is a guy named robert graham who is a candidate for arizona republican party chairman. it tells you something about the politics involved, obviously. again, where

that is what prop 30 does.n needed funds to prevent loss of programs at lowell high school we have a library and computer labs. we have a sports program. we have a great theater program. our kids deserve that. they deserve a world class education. they deserve an education that will prepare them for the high-tech world that they are facing. we can do no less than pass prop 30. 47th in 9 nation. our kids deserve better. >> cheryl: let me talk to you about this. why should people vote no. nobody disagrees that they need more but you don't like this one? >> remember, california spend immense amount of money. our budget went up $5.6 billion which is 5.6% increase. inflation is 1.7%. why are we spending so much more? we need to look at the entire budget and go item by item to see where all the ceremony going. nobody can really tell you. like with a lot of these things. the devil is in the details if you look beyond this measure. it eliminates funds for mandates. for instance, the brown act which is open meetings rul

that will follow some of the paving work for prop b bonds. somewhat similar here, sfgo van ness will have count down signals. then there's another project that actually is getting close to being completed. emergency vehicle priority system in the tenderloin. it's about to be put on the ground. wrapping this up, this is one we flipped a coin and decided whether it was city wide or district six. on powell, one of many state of repair are all the water leaks. we don't need to explain why that is needed. construction should be done by january 2014. bart hit a couple bumps in the road given the hot temperatures in the subway tunnel. probably of more interest to the public are the escalators. mta is responsible for some of the muni stations and bart is responsible for others. this deals with the muni escalators. both phases of project really experienced delays for a number of reasons from biamerica to funding issues. they are now moving forward. we got one of escalators done. another one is being worked on now. the slide shows a whole bunch if dist

effects from new shadows on prop k protective parks would not be allowed unless these shadows are found to be insignificant which gives discretion to park and rec commissions and planning commissions to ruse discretion as -- use discretion as we have significantly, and we had beneficial projects, i think it was affordable housing. that's just a discretionary call, and even if the memo of 1987 gives clear abilities even though 0 budgets were set for future joint sessions to raise these budgets and that's what's before us today. i want to make a motion, but before that, two things, i don't know if it's appropriate now, i know that commissioner wu had asked for there to be a resolution on the calendar next week. i don't know if we can -- >> [inaudible]. >> that will not be part of your motion, that will be for next -- >> it's not part of the motion. >> we have agreed to add that to next week. >> we don't have anymore meeting, i believe we also wanted to calendar consideration of discussion for the secretary search. >> i have already added that. >> i just wanted to make sure it was added on

governor jerry brown was in the bay area pushing for voters to pass prop 30 and reject prop 32. dozens of educators were on hand at the news conference to show their support. proposition 30 would prevent billions of cuts in schools and colleges. prop 32 prevents unions from using their political dues for political purposes. the union dues for political purposes. brown says he values the quality of education he got and wants to make sure that quality continues. >> we need in school not just standardized tests that come out of some washington bureaucracy. but we also need arts programs and science programs. field trips. librari librarians. counselors. >> those who were against prop 30 say it doesn't guarantee any new funding for schools but rather kills jobs and is harmful to small businesses. the yes on prop 32 campaign argues that it removes special interest money from politics. >>> much more ahead for you on "today in the bay." more information on iran's nuclear program and planned talks with the u.s. decision 2012 and race for the white house. the latest on the campaign trail

. >>> governor brown is making a last-ditch effort for prop 30. if his tax plan doesn't pass he is warning for severe consequences for schools and colleges. cbs 5 political reporter grace lee reports. >> reporter: for the governor, this is a no-brainer. our schools need money and this is the only way to pay for it. but looking at the latest polls, voters are still split. the public policy institute of california just released these numbers. it shows that 48% will vote yes, 44% no, 8% undecided on prop 30. with the numbers trending down, the governor is out campaigning with a new spin on why we need prop 30. >> i'm spending every day between now and the election going around asking people, look at the pamphlet and vote yes on 30. any questions? >> make no mistake, it is not easy at all for businesses to support a tax increase. >> reporter: with the support of the bay area council, the governor is now tying the fate of proposition 30 to the number one issue for voters, the economy and jobs. >> businesspeople also understand without a good school sys

calling democrats across the state asking them to vote yes on prop 30 and no on prop 32. prop 32 would ban unions from using payroll deducted found for political -- funds for political purposes. prop 30 hikes the state sales tax by a quarter cent. the 30 doesn't pass schools and colleges face $6 billion in cuts. governor brown has been traveling across the state shoring up support but recent polls show that -- polls show that support is fading. now there's 46% for prop 30, 42% against it. >> well, i think it's going to be a tough battle. the governor certainly is out there stumping for the measure. i think you're going to start to see support climb as more and more -- as the election gets closer and people realize we need to stop the cuts to education. >> reporter: i spoke with the chairman with the california gop. he said it will cost jobs and will fail and that prop 32 will bring stability. he said the republican party spent a big amount of full-time and money to get the word out. in fact the activist just donated another $13 million making the total contributions $36.5

k and i wanted to talk about prop k. i made these similar comments when it came to the approval of the plan itself where i withheld my vote given my serious conflicts with prop k which i wholeheartedly improved in 1984 and where all my arguments against it will battle out for many years and months that followed. the obligations we have requires the commission prior to the issuance of a permit to make findings that any shadow cast by a new project on property is insignificant. i have not found the bright line definition for insignificant. the only one i have is that eir clearly says that the shadow impacts of the project are significant and unavoidable as well as unmitt gabl except for the numerical compensation. i went back and i would really like this project to succeed, but i personally do not have the tool tos do so at this very moment. i went back to what city attorney george agnos wrote in august, 1984 where he gave clarification to the board of supervisors to act to administrator pass more and explained very clearl

prop 38 is our children and our future local schools and bond debt reduction act. it would actually support early childhood education that prop 30 does not and it's also an important measure. i think if both of them passed what would happen it would be worked out that we wouldn't be double taxed, but we would find the different compromises kinds of both work for our schools. the groups that support both measures is tom torlakson and california retired teachers associations and san francisco examiner and i urge support for both measures. supervisor wiener. >> thank you so supervisor mar for bringing this forward. i was surprised that we could take positions on ballot measures, but i was told by the city attorney that we were able to do so. i would make a motion to amend and add a second resolve that states further resolved that the san francisco board of supervisors president iss its strong disapproval on recent attacks of prop 30 and suggest that the supporters of propositions 30 pawn 38 refrain from attacking one another. second by supervisor mar and can we take t

so, your action today does not violate the charter in any way, it doesn't violate prop k in any way, it doesn't violate section 295, and i think the staff presented in the beginning of the hearing how we got do the point we have with what we refer to as the 1989 memo which was an out growth of prop k and the authority vested in these two commissions to think about shadowing and parks in san francisco and to implement the intent of the voters and what the commissions elected to do in 1989 is adopt a memo that looked at certain parks, it created criteria, it created certain budget's limits of new shadowing on some of those parks and imposed on others said the no new shadow would be allowed, that was something -- prop k didn't spell that out to you, that was something that you decided as commissioners on how to implement prop k. you could have come up with an entirely different method, that's what you come up with, it's not set in stone, it's something that's flexible like the question that you raised earlier of how do you define what's an adverse impact under prop k, those are question

we will be using prop case sales funds or other funds, making early investments in the projects. over the next few months work with the sponsors to increase the public outreach specific those projects, includes doing presentations for the bicycle and pedestrian and advisory committee and looking at the design and cost update funding plans to ensure once we approve as a staff and you as a board and move forward through the federal pipeline, which can be a very complicated deadline driven process, the project also go through as smoothly as possible. we put this under the rubric we call project readiness, looking at environmental clearance and making sure it is a solid project moving forward. again, you will see money flowing to the projects in 14-15 through 15-16. how will projects be selected? we have a criteria on page 63 of your packet. a lot of the guidelines, screening and priorities are dictated by the federal level. we have to follow the guidelines. a specific example is if a project wants funds it has to be a certain condition below 70. i won't get into the technicalities.

today california democrats called voters and urging them to vote yes on prop 30 and no on prop 32. cbs 5 reporter talked to state democrats and republicans today and she's here with the story. >> reporter: ann, prop 30 and 32 are both in trouble. both below the 50% mark with prop 30 making a significant drop just days before the election. there's just ten days until election day. and support for governor jerry brown's tax increase proposition 30 is plunging. recent polls show only 46% now support it. a 9% drop over the past month. 42% are against it. the governor has been traveling throughout the state fighting for the ballot measure while volunteers held a phone bank with the california democratic party. >> may i speak to him? >> reporter: they called other registered democrats asking them to vote we. prop 30 raises income on the wealthy and hikes the state's income tax. >> if proposition doesn't pass, it will really have a devastating effect on education in california. >> reporter: one of the largest supporters. the california teachers' association. meanwhile the small business a

i want to go back to prop 34.dge ladoris cordell, your son did in the literature sent out to people here in california but as you are cited in the literature sent out to people here in california. >> i support it for a number of reasons quickly, the death penalty system in california is broken beyond repair. attempts have been tried to repair it and it cannot be done. it is poor public policy because it means taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a system that is broken. the concern is the death penalty is finality for those who are executed. if there are people who are innocent -- and we don't know if there are people or innocent on death row -- it is not worth going down that route. a study was released this week showing there is a higher percentage of people who have found to be innocent of crimes sentenced to life in prison, who have been wrongfully convicted. more so in california than any other state. we cannot take a risk. you take a broken system, wasted tax dollars, the fact you do not ever want to execute

so our prop h funds, i was on the prop h citizen advisory committee for three years. i know how precious those funds are. recently, the committee went out actually to school sites, spoke to a lot of people about how this impacts their education. it was profound. i think if you go into any of our schools, you will see at one time we had not a single elementary school library. now we are -- our lie brar iies now -- libraries after couple years prop h money been dusted off, old schools have been weeded out. books from the 1950's or some of them from the 1940's weeded out of the libraries. new books replaced old books and classrooms are using their libraries every day to complement their instruction in the classrooms. and they're funded by -- they're also prop h funded an elementary school library. for them these funds are crucial . they have helped us restore, keep our arts program. p.e., athletics programs, things we would never be able to fund if we didn't have prop h money. it's imperative that it's reauthorized in 2014. anyway, just to emphasize the issue of the mone

d.a.s overwhelming leo pose prop 34. i think in san francisco there's the only attorney that's in favor of it. so that could be a factor. but your colleague had a story in the "chronicle" a week or so ago that people on death row oppose prop 34 because their appeals will end and they think they won't have a chance to prove their innocence, right? they all think they're innocence. >> don't they still have an opportunity whether they're on death row or not to go through a court process, or does it at some point come to an abrupt end and they're stuck there? >> currently, you mean? >> no, no, no, not currently. if there is no death penalty, they don't relinquish their right to go through a court process. >> but now there's an automatic appeal for everybody on death row, so they have lawyers provided to them and the state pays for it. not very much, but they do. that would go away. they wouldn't be entitled to that. they would have to do it on their own. >> it has been interesting to me that the argument, which in the past h

your thoughts on prop 37?> look, i think this is -- it is easy to get lost in the weeds about this thing. there has been a lot of charges and countercharges, but i think there's a lot of state here. not just for californians. genetic modification was a major innovation in our food supply. we have not had a chance to debated in this country. it goes back to 1996 when these crops were first introduced. unlike in europe or there was a pretty heated debate and in japan and a resolution that involved labeling, we never had that debate because both political parties agreed in america that there wasfor politics. the less there was no space for politics. if this level passes in california, through the enormous pressure for a national label, by the food industry, and others. if it survives court challenges but make no mistake, if it passes, monsanto will take it to court on the very first day. there will be pressure because food companies will not want to make or formula for differently for california than the rest of

prop 38 estimates that it will raise $10 billion. how does that extra revenue get to the schools? each initiative has a separate pact. >> it puts money into the state's general fund and a lot of it then goes to education because proposition 98 would require that it does and because that's how they have set up the budget. under proposition 38, the money is directed specifically towards various places in education. 60% goes directly to schools. >> reporter: and don't forget the governor has tied $6 billion in trigger cuts to proposition 30. so if it fails, k-12 and the universities of our state will suffer and with less than 4 weeks to go prop 30 could go either way according to our latest surveyusa poll. voters were given a detailed description of the tax measure. 45% say they would vote for it, 39 said no to prop 30. as for the presidency, while he is still expected to win california, the surveyusa poll shows he took a big hit following the presidential debate. he led by 22 points just a month ago. now he leads republican nominee mit

brenda kealing: prop 38 is going to bring a lot of money to our schools. suzan solomon: the money stays at the school site. cade derry: what i would really like to see is that the teachers... that were laid off come back to the school. navaz hurd: a smaller class size. navaz hurd: as a mom i want that. as a teacher i want that. >>> last week's stay in ohio galvinized the 49ers. the head coach, rex ryan was big but he lost 100 pounds. lost more than that today. scoreless, 2nd quarter, greg, opened up the playbook. 7-0. sanfrancisco. 10-0, 9ers, 3rd. jet's quarterback, horrible, ray mcdonald, hits the pass, willis comes up with the interception. sanchez, 100 yards in the game. never found a rhythm. newyork was able to stay in the game thanks to two missed field goals by david acres so the lead remained 10-0. still in question. but, later in the 3rd on 4th down, going in. the 49ers take a 17-0 lead on his 3rd touchdown of the season. here is a bizarre play in the 4th thattized the game. h -- that iced the game. he went down with a knee injury. he flipped the

30 and reject prop 32. dozens of california educators were on hand at the burlingame news conference to show their support. prop 30 would prevent billions of dollars in cuts to schools and colleges. prop 32 prevents unions from using dues for political purposes. he values the quality of education he got and wants to make sure that quality continues. >> we need in school not just standardized tests that comes out of washington bureaucracy but we also need arts programs, science programs, fileld trip, librarians, counselors. >> critics of prop 30 say it does not guarantee any new jobs or funding for schools, that it is actually bad for jobs and harmful to small businesses and the folks who are yes on prop 32 argue that it removes special interest money from politics. >>> the call for a san jose city councilwoman to return campaign money is growing louder this weekend. last week the state fair political practices commission ruled that san jose mayor violated state law when his political action committee donate

we donate philanthropically and we're focus on prop e? >> you are for or against prop e? >> yes on prop e. i don't want to say who is registered to vote. >> who is registered to vote? >> please vote yes on e. if you are not registered to vote, please go to the sf city booth no. 29. it's on the right side as you walk out of the room and register to vote. >> and then vote no on prop e -- i mean vote yes on prop e. >> there is something that we want you to vote no on. no on the hetch hetchy proposition, which is f. >> is that a dam? >> hetch hetchy is an engineering marvel and some people want to mess with that. and we're saying don't mess with hetch hetchy. >> you don't drain hetch hetchy, which is the best water in the world. >> who likes our water? [ applause ] >> so keep hetch hetchy and no taxes. i have a quick question for you ron in the last-minute. you have this new venture fund that somebody wrote about. you could have raised a much bigger fund. why didn't you? >> no. 1, it's not my fund. i am the no. 1 investor. david lee and his team are the managers of the fund,

ktvu's tom vacar profiles proposition 33. >> reporter: auto insurance prop 33 makes golden promises. >> it will save me and california drivers money every month and makes it easier for drivers to switch insurance companies, leading to more competition and lower rates. >> reporter: under prop 33 the law would require that any discount you have earned at one company would be good at another company. but for many consumers who had no insurance or a break in coverage over last five years big sur charges could be in the offing. including new drivers, those who do not have cars, those who quit driving because of recession or chaos to take public transit. >> my response would be that i do believe that competition can be increased and there can be a more robust market in carriage and proposition 33 will do that. >> reporter: current law passed by california voters 24 years ago when rates were running wild requires that your rates be based primarily on your driving record, the number of years you have driven, the number of miles you drive. prop 33 would make whether or not you have had contin
