the information particular with regard to luxor, i wonder whether or not it makes sense to put that sfmta resource to use on this. i initially supported commissioner garcia's comments. you still feel it would be useful given the comments that we just heard? >> i did not hear from npa -- mta that there is no data. >> luxor didn't provide it. >> maybe you should address your question to mta on if it was available. >> only luxor could answer that question. that might be the reason we never got it in the first place, but i will have to check. >> the to save that of course -- they could say that of course it is not true. it is available more than 30% of the time. to me, it goes toward fabrication that it was available and for whatever reason, he fought -- he put down the wrong number. >> i agree. >> i will suggest to january 12. >> that is okay for the mta. >> what documentation are you allowing any additional briefing? >> let's maintain the standard briefing schedule, and both sides can submit the three-page brief. president peterson: i ask that your document to be submitted prior to the hear

as was also shown in the report, sfmta has secured and received $10,784,000 of the total project cost. the national federal and grant funds, as well as another $2 million from prop k sales tax funds. that is a total of $30,481,000 of the total estimated needed amount of $22 million. however, no funds can be expanded until the comptroller certifies the funds. we recommend that you approve this resolution. supervisor avalos: thank you. colleagues, any questions? since this contract is going to expire in eight years, in terms of managing the capital program after that, do we expect to do another rfp? >> our system will be in place. eventually, the system will be serviced by our own people. this one would be installed within the first couple of years. from there, it services the project needs. as projects, and for that need those services, they can apply for them. supervisor avalos: i am looking at the cost in the budget analysts report. staff, technical support, 17%. a great preponderance of the contract is for that. you expect after the central subway is completed, this level of spendin

next i wanted to show you some charts about use on the sfmta's various products.s is the top a pass. as mentioned, we see about one- third of customers have already moved over to clipper so that we have about 25,000 for the month to move over. while that may sound like a big never to transition in a single month, i want to put that in context. we have been averaging 150,000 new cars per month. that is a little bit more than 10% of the business we have been doing. certainly for this order of magnitude it is within our capacity. for the past few months because we have experienced such great growth, it has allowed us to iron out the kinks that you have heard about and has made the transition smoother than it perhaps would have been. >> were those san francisco or bay area wide sales? >> bay area. san francisco right now is averaging about half of the transactions. 120,000 transactions are through mta vehicles. >> so you are confident over the next week that we are not going to run into a huge traffic jams? >> yes. at the bottom, that is the impasse that is scheduled

sfmta, transportation planners also helped as well as my agency which i feel a little arm twisting back at the office. with that, i will hand it over to ellen, i would just like to find, if i can, jessica manzi, are you in this room? jessica helped a great deal to put together this program and i really appreciated all of her help and time over the last few weeks. so with that, ellen. >> thanks, doug. i want to make sure everyone can hear me. i have a love-hate relationship with microphones. i want to thank you all for coming today. this is really a wonderful turnout for us. the german marshall fund, for those of you who don't what the fund is, wire a 501 c public charity that was funded as a gift from the german people. we were set up as an american institution to work on a broad mandate of tackling the changes that are faced by advanced industrialized societies. that is a broad mandate. we work with europe and the united states and we work on how europe and the united states can work together on the major world challenges like climate change and economic trade and development, just a n

commissioner beach: a couple of questions >> know the sfmta would be a new bond issuer. do we have any current obligations? >> all of the sfmric has been repaid. the parking authority has outstanding bonds at this point in time. obligations other than the public benefit corporations also related to parking garages. director beach: does that have an impact on our ability to issue bonds since there is outstanding debt? >> yes it does. that would also be a part of the comprehensive finance plan that we would be creating to look at that debt following conjunction with any new proposed issuance. director beach: and can you explain for me what the difference is between a bond and a revenue anticipation note which i know has also been uses to finance transit projects. >> hum hum. it's usually a short-term vehicle whereby you are looking for specific revenues to come in to actually pay those bonds off basically as short-term financing. where as your longer term or permanent financing would be likely what you would be looking at for the financing for the m.t.a. director beach: an

documents have received extensive review and input and edits from i think at this point six agencies, sfmta, sfbpw, the p.u.c., the planning department, the fire department, department of the environment, to some measure the review from the mayor's office of housing and the rent board and we have been in touch with state agencies as well. so there is a ton of staff and city input that is represented in those documents and i did want to bring that up in particular because commissioner sugaya i think raised the concern that staff had not done independent analysis and i would like to point out that the staff has been involved in reviewing and editing all of these documents and we would not accept that without such input. commissioner antonini: thank you. i make a suggestion that you work with mr. switzky and project sponsor and come up with something that would be acceptable as far as these informational hearings and work with president miguel and vice president olague and any other commissioners to be able to put together a schedule that would be acceptable and we initiate that today and you
