it's a challenge we must confront by insuring every san franciscan that can work has a job. it's a challenge we confront by assuring every san franciscan is a afford to stay here it's a champ we confront by improving our schools and transportation system and keeping our streets safe. we're one city but we celebrate the success of all our resident and we share in the responsibility of those who are left behind. it's that same city that thousands will come up or come out to support a kid who soufrd from cancer and was bat kid. to find new opportunity i say get involved. you're now part of this city and must be part of the solution. acknowledge our impact and make it a good one that were understand that the homeless man you see sleeping in the doorway thought at one time was inevitable too but you may also one day find your that way. help clean up our local park and respect the history of those who were here before you break bread with your neighbors. because it turns out san francisco changes us more than any other group of new conforms will ever change san francisco. it's the

i'm a third generation san franciscan. i replacement going back many years and seeing the city grow and we had control the city had control over the annoyances of the beauty of it. i know we have to worry about this contingency and i want you to take into account. my father and grandfather and husband helped on the penya project and my son worked at city hall bif it and i'd like to see it stay like that friendly and warm and room to spread around and our children to grow. i'm lucky to have 2 in the city who can afford to stay but when i see new families coming here to live they need a chance. they want the education, they want the museums, they want all those things, please give it to them and consider all the things above >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners aim kathleen roland's. i have not only lived in san francisco for many years but i started as a renter and now a homeowner i work here. i want to let you know i'm concerned about the feed wishes document. i support the continuance. i'm concerned about the la

place we use geobonds is for the fire desperation system that like street lights benefit ail san franciscans. the use of refers you hear about and we're meeting the reserves. we have to look at all the unspent money to all projects we could fro up some refers there. that leaves us with an unpleasant opportunity as well as mentioned looking at others operating cuts all costs including staff. i do want to take a moment and pause on slide 2. a year ago when you adapted the capital plan you prudently adapted the plan that mountain tunnel was a water project. it's not move forward from water quality to catastrophic center. when you adapted the financial plan we didn't have the projected case for pg&e nor the heightened additional expenses on the transition and disbruks buttock nor what the would be so those 3 pieces of addressed information are material and basically have created that new cliff when a year ago you didn't have. in fact, the black line shows the receivers and the how it was meeting it. fast-forward that to today and you'll see based on the new expenses on slow down one the blue lin

puc their generate case that assumptions rate increases that we pay for for the benefit of all san franciscans. the weshg richie talked about. that means bh about $6 million a year and mountain tunnel the waterside it funded through water rates if we could figure out how to balance that and that's what is one of the single contributor. you see the check marks to the right. we've assumed the green light where you've given us approval on treasure island and hunter's point and alice griffith and a upgrades for the riverbank. we're assessing hunter's point and the warriors stadium and the seawall lot and sf hope sites. that leaves us with difficult choices for the general fund paying higher rates to get to cost would be $20 million a year. if we concluded the new pg&e rates that would be 27 $28 million a year and if pg&e paid $0.40 for the utilities that's $28 million a year and so have some of the street light consolidation just pause on that for a moment. if we opportunity $100 million for the geofunds that's the prosperity tax bill would be $120 more a year. the only other place we use geobonds

housing, really housing for all working families, working san franciscans. so, that's quite exciting. and then i did want to draw your attention, just as a personal point of privilege, to share a communication that i received from the hunters point developer, lennar. i have received notice that cheryl smith, who is the director of their community affairs, many of you know her from her deep work. she comes from the bayview. her tireless work of the last six years. certainly she will be missed. she's created a deep bench there in order to carry on her work. but really, i think the shipyard, it stands where it does today in large part to her personal commitment and her work on behalf of her neighborhood bayview and all san franciscans. she certainly will be missed and we wish her well. but they certainly do have a deep bench to carry it on. but i did want to draw your attention to that. that concludes my director's report. >> thank you very much. we will be sad to see cheryl go, yes, she will definitely be missed. not that she's like, you know, not in the commu
