think it is not proper for the sfpuc -- the board of supervisors very lenient with san francisco public utilities commission. lenient to criminal charges. they've been jumping ship because the san francisco public utilities commission is one of the most despicable agencies in the country. we have no standards. to ask the attorney to do what he wants to do, he's free to do that. you will see hundreds of people and many entities, sierra club and others will be giving their opinion. bawsca can say whatever it wants to. but the entities that know better on issues, that's standards and ethics, morals, they will succeed. that's all i got to say. >> thank you for your comments. >> caller: good afternoon maxwell. i'm from the tuolumne river trust. i wanted to express my total disappointment and vote of no confidence in bawsca. last december, i gave a presentation to her board on the tuolumne river voluntary agreement. it was totally misleading. we responded with a 15-page response. bullet by bullet. what did we hear back from sandkulla, she couldn't answer. she goes around pretending she's an expert on the tuolumne

fund with the san francisco public utilities commission. the balance is currently just over $129,000. when we brought vanner on board after doing the r.f.q., to support oversight of clean power s.f., that was for service area one. and there were also three other consultants who qualified in that service area, but there were also two other service areas, local buildout of renewable energy projects and service three for communities of concern. we could engage the consultants that have been prequalified. it's been almost a year since i have been in contact with them, but if the commission desires that we could go back and to see what consultants are still interested in the work, those that are prequalified, or we could issue a new r.f.q. or a new r.f.p. for a new consultant using the m.o.u. funds. but i would leave that up to the direction of the commission. >> supervisor mar: thank you. and i'm just looking at the draft work plan for local buildout and it shows staffing for the executive officer, project management as well as a policy analyst

source contract with the department of public-health and the resignation of a former san francisco public utilities commissionenefited laboringizations which which your worship he was affiliatedand i.t. syster steering a $1.2 million contract to her husband's company. she was later charged with for this conduct. our investigation led to the department's i.t. chief operating officer and the return of $850,000 to the city and sued santos after we found check fraud and permit fraud against the city and his limits. the work led to federal criminal charges with $100 million over charging for customers for years on mohammad's watch and another $1.7 million from walter wong for inform wong and his company and with the help of this board, we introduce and pass legislation that allows us to suspend suspected contractors while civil criminal or administrative prosecutions are taking place. and using that legislation we suspended or move to debar five other companies and their executives from doing business with the city and we'll continue to use this cool as the need arises. it was not limited to federal criminal charg

assets within the city, but we also have an airport, we also have a public utilities commission which brings water and power to san francisco into a number of other suburban communities. so the other thing i do want to mention in this new capital plan is the table that shows the total amount is that we have added affordable housing and i think as we were one of the first cities to do a ten-year multicapital plan. we were one of the first to create capital housing and our city tends to be owned by the private sector but we have had as you're aware new bonds to address affordable housing and there was a desire by the board and by capital planning community as well that it should be part and we are expecting to be spending $2.6 billion on affordable housing. a lot of that is coming from private development. the other thing i would want to mention on this slide, some departments have really cut back. so under transportation which is where we have our mta and airport, both those agencies have had to reduce their capital program, especially the airport program considerably. so, as a result, the total amount of our capital plan is

there's been a long history of muni in san francisco government starting in 1932. it was part of the public utility commission. then quite a while after that, 1993 a separate body, the public transportation commission was formed. more recently and through prop e and prop a, the sfmta was formed. the main issue with those actions was that it combined the city's department of parking and traffic control with the muni in order to create a coordinated body. prop a also authorizes a taxi commission to come under the sfmta purview and in 2009, the mta took over taxi regulations as well. next slide. so, as you probably know, mta has exclusive authority over a number of different areas. it has a unique position in san francisco government. the section of the charter that mostly articulates the mta's authority is charter section 8a. i listed some, but not all of the functions that the agency has exclusive jurisdiction over here, acquisition construction and management of not only your property, but also your personal and financial assets, adopting fines and fees. then often you have legislation to enforce parking and
