and allocation of $131,153,142 in the prop k funds for the condition for the san francisco agency's light rail vehicle procurement, subject and attachment fiscal year cash flow, this is action. >> deputy lumbardo. >> i think that you should have at your desks some very exciting item, and it is for us as mta and the transit ride irs tl. is some information that i can share with you today. >> and so, you have before you on this screen, on the slide number two, just a quick recap, just a 1.4 billion dollar contract, to provide replacement light rail vehicles or lrvs as well as expansion vehicles, and i notice that this has been said before but we can't repeat it enough that it is one of the largest contracts that they have issued and probably the largest procurement in north america and in terms of what we can do with the prop k, is that there is not anything else that we can invest in, that will be more to directly improve the performance for the muni riders and in between the action item today, and items that you have previously approved, when you adopted the prop k, strategic plan,

and it is $934 million and it is from the combination of sfmta revenue bonds, that is issues on the prop k sales tax and matched with the bridge tolls and you can see the transportation mission, and some set aside for the expansion vehicles as part of the budget, and prop k, except for this small amount of money, $4.6 million, and they had funds primarily for the replacement vehicles and that is just because the replacement needs are so enormous that has to be our top priority. >> and you may also ask why this item was not included in part of the approval that came before you last month and mta was reviewing the bids while we are putting this together and mta working on the other aspects of this and were not ready to share the details of the funding and financing strategy for this and as it is not uncommon and we have a large contract, and we approach to the contract, once it has been awarded which it has, is to issue a series of notice, to proceed, and basically allow the contractor to incur the expenses up to that amount of money, and with the amount of the notice to proceed, they are

trumpeting up things at will and the last speaker card. >> howard with save muni the official no on prop a opponent and the pamphlet handbook we oppose it because we've read the ordinance and were stunned that this ordinance has no legal binding commitment to my muni project we also look at the transportation task force report and were surprised at in its funding only 49 percent of the funding is dedicated to muni projects we've then been concerned perhaps this bond abatement was to cover the cost overruns like the central subway yesterday's at the spurs lecturer a well-known urban planner stressed the importance of bus rapid network over light rail and train projects that suck fund away from the entire system over the last few years we've been following the project management oversight management reports on the central subway the po c was changed and the new one david evans and society are being honest in its assessments of the project the past reports that was a sugary blowing over the new pmc report it late in coming clearly states that projected overruns at this point it 11 percent o

we have prop 47, we have drug courts. we have veterans court, all of those, can we use more money, absolutely. but this mechanism is not the mechanism to send it out there to say that it is okay to steal and use drugs. what will change for the people who served under you on the streets of san diego? are they going to be in more danger or less. >> i don't think it will effect any danger, we have done some changing and the argument from those that are against it, are the same. they set it in realignment, and in prop 36 when we changed it. the recidivism rate is less than 2%, this is what police officers want to do. they want to have service that's what they do, they want to provide services and be able to refer people, to real treatment, right now it is not there. drug court is a great thing, i applaud what they do, it reaches very very few people. we need to be smart on crime, this is the one that does it, and gets treatment where treatment is most needed. >> thank you all for joining me today, that brings us to the end of

she was a grad student when prop 187 was on the ballot.ut as the campaign heated up, she says her mother convinced her to pursue public service. >> i think if you can identify one thing that singlehandedly brought together the latino community to empower themselves and start ensuring that people who were qualified could get their citizenship, making sure they were registered to vote, make sure they actually voelted it was prop 187. >> she said her family felt targeted by the measure, regardless of whether they were here legally or not. among the controversial proposals was a ban on letting an illegal immigrant use health care and other publicly funded services. it also would have prevented undocumented children to attend schools while having to verify all students and their parents. >> the way prop 187 was written, it really could have torn apart families. children in my position, born here legally, might not be able to have a parent in a parent-teacher conference. it didn't really make sense, but it brought us together as a community. >>

i have something for the planning commissioner i i'm diving jones i was president in the 1980 with prop m was on the ballot and was one of the people in the group that advocating advocated the limit i wanted to remind people of the math behind the annual limit so you can take into account whole thing your thinking of criteria or a contest you see before you it's basically just an equation if you have 2 hundred and 76 per square feet for workers you end up with 36 workers for housing and certain trips on housing reflected in the pdrs you're starting a dialog not only about the beauty contest you're thinking about larger implications of prop m to try to update some of the most basically assumptions the birth one is the 2 hundred and 76 square feet per office worker it turns out now you with not needing file cabinets and, etc. a lot of the working spaces are down to one hundred and 50 square feet when you use the number one hundred and 50 square feet in this chart rather than 2 hundred and 76 you get a number 84 percent higher it means you have a lot more workers who are looking for housin

lot of office space out into the future if didn't makes sense so there are some people who feel that prop m was one of the reasons we drove a lot of business you out of san francisco into suburbia office parks that had to do with the in the 80s we've spent several hundreds of dollars providing a bart system that brought people amazing in the 80s things went south and east if didn't help it is what we have have to deal with the important thing moving forward the city attorney is looking at a couple of critical issues most of you have know we've got space convert from business to other uses thofrm it makes sense in my mind those should be added back they're no longer business spaces and no longer have the same impact that the business space has on transit and most notablely the triple a building is a big one, the hotel on omni hotel s are large and the demo policy a policy where if you're building a demolishing a 200 though square feet housing and building on the same site a 4 hundred thousand you have to take 4 hundred thousand out it makes no sense you're taking two out and 4 in so we've

m it's the law we deal with it we have 3 million square feet of space available we don't have a prop m problem howe right now we know one might be coming but no prop m problem now, throughout that my career of having those office space approval there's no panic you heard the project changed by 3 hundred or 4 hundred feats downwards the cycles are steep and we're going to have one at some point whether other large projects come up peterson if prop m had in my opinion doesn't have it's a different city than 1985 we'll have to address the prop m issue some point i suspect but noted in the next year i think the projects while the demand is here we have tenants president those buildings to be built they'll take them now and sign leases ahead of time we need to get through the discretionary are part to deliver anything of interest to the marketplace so i'm asking you and suggesting to you based on history now is not the time to impose an artifical rule or allocation of the large profits to projects that are ready to go i also notice i thank john for this both of our projects the one hundre

our minds for the first time since 1980 we've got more demand to build office space then under the prop m for companies to relocate here is a good thing but one of the consequences for the office space is that rents are up and so far there's so far up from nonprofits and other small businesses their finding it hard to keep a footed hold in the city that's why i need our help for a fair and practical solution to help those vitality organizations to stay here where they belong we need to be thoughtful about our approach to prop m we'll begin to look at the office space we've lost in the past years we're lost some office space to conversion something in between a million to 3 million square feet so if we're going to be fair about this we ought to begin with a fairness question i'm looking forward to hearing from our planning commission i know our director is here he's going to be available to talk about prop m but we are carefully looking at all the issues leading up to it but most importantly particularly with you in this room that are great business people we have to have a great convers

we saw for the large project authorization open the residential side every time we see project like prop m let's see a map of what other projects in the kind like a half a mile in the plan area that will again help us what the context you don't have to change our context but look at projects as they come about i wanted to mention a couple of things about the 3 legged school we've talked about in the previous hearings first is i think one commenter mentioned the density of space for office workers over time but the employment has to the doubled people are getting less space allocate but it is filled with more people like cafes and things the trend we're seeing so if we do look at how have the assumptions changed i think we need to look at that as well and the last thing talking about transit in particular you've called for it if parlor and like to call for it again semi joint meetings or information sharing like sfmta those projects are not clustered in downtown zones we're seeing projects in mixed use zones and dog patch and mission bay and candle stick and there's beautiful plans and sf
