>> sfmta. >> thank you. >> okay. i was even thinking it. i'm sorry. i mentioned the next week we are looking to schedule meeting between sfmta, other departments to determine what the agencies might have with delivering and bring updates to the next programs committee meeting. other projects in this project simply dropped out, not recommended for funding because category x ran out of funds after projects ready to go. the sfmta has concern over posting, bond saving projects and project deacons. these were seeking fundss in 14-15, 15-16, some of out years k be funded with the prop case sales tax 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 r

the sfmta has made self-evidence errors during its investigation, additionally, sfmta is in the best position to prove that mr. kipnis drove during the time claimed. instead of looking for that potential exculpatory evidence, mta was intent on proffering that mr. kipnis had failed to meedriving requirements, more over, mta apart from itself investigators has somehow become inbound, we ask the board to reject that argument as handwriting analysis is an inexact science and even experts make mistakes, to allow mta without any credentials sets a very dangerous precedent indeed. even the hearing officer joined in this to find some excuse to revoke mr. kipnis but decline tog accept 74 out of 107 weigh bills that he submitted, largely in the basis that certain weigh bills were more orderly than others, he would have left 33 shifts to his credit but somehow those 33 shifts then became 31 shifts as written up in the hearing officer's opinion, and then rather than use the standard of 800 hours, the hearing officer elected to use the 366 shift driving requirement saying that mr. kipnis fell sho

sfmta board showed its leadership in putting its money where it its mouth was, investing our local ofedding dollars into the maintenance of a system that supports the larger state of good repair investment that is so strongly and luckily -- and welcome to. sleep plays to bring up a representative from our board, the vice chairman of the board -- i am pleased to bring up a representative from our board. >> thank you, good morning. on behalf of the a 70 board of directors, want to thank the deputy administrator and the fta for providing this critical funds. i also want to thank our congressional delegation for their efforts to fight for funds to keep trends in moving throughout our region, not/i our city, and providing bluer skies and better access for all. a big thank you to local leadership, mayor lee and supervisor campos, who was not here, represented by jose luis. especially this supervisors capacity as chair of the transportationwmnçqzr(uáhority d improving muni and making it a transit choice of people want to take instead of transportation of last resort. both grant awards more t

quote, on agenda 9th, 2008 the sfmta adopted including finding under ceqa in sfmta08-150, which ceqa finding are incorporated by reference in this motion. with that it concludes by presentation. i'm available to answer questions. i will first, however, turn it over to john fungi with smta followed by ken ridge with oewta, thank you. >> president fong, commissioners johnson, sfmta central subway, thank you for the opportunity to provide a brief update, as elizabeth has done a fine job providing the overview to. give you a bit of context, the final supplemental eis, eir was approved years ago. as relates to the china town site within the past four years we have acquired the property, have received approval of the relocation for the eight businesses and 19 households that previously lived on the property. they have been successfully relocated. a bit of good news is that five of the 19 residents have actually purchased single-family homes with the proceeds from the relocation funding. the building has been -- is currently secured with a vinyl wrap. finally this body in february of this y

we reviewed all the information, the sfmta objected to the introduction of the new evidence of 07, 08, and 09, and the hearing officer allowed that in and we still stand by our objection to that information but assuming that that information is in, all the discrepancies lead to the conclusion that -- or to a reasonable conclusion that if 29 of these are inaccurate and i don't mean just a let r or two off here and there, but duplicate dates, overlapping mileage, columns where your from and to are simply reversed on a separate weigh bill but the exact same fares, that to us demonstrates at least a reasonable standard that those weigh bills were not made while a person was driving, those weigh bills were manufacturer after the fact. so, we again stand behind that material and believe that this appeal should be denied. thank you. >> i have a question of mr. leon. in your declaration as part of the submission by your office, paragraph 6 references a prior admonishment. this is a declaration -- sorry, this is exhibit a to your declaration, sorry, this is exhibit a which is an excerpt or is

we are currently working with sfmta and dpw on project funding and project implementation. as a team we are intending to go back with the proposalal. in closing i would like to thank the agency staff, sfmta and dpw for much needed support during the process and thank you for your time and consideration of this very important project. >> thank you. thanks for your comments. next speaker please. >> good morning, elizabeth stamp, executive director. we are excited this is moving forward. we were a big advocate for the proposition into include funding for pedestrian improvements and transit improvements. we advocated for its passage as well and it's been a long wait so we are excited to see it moving forward to fund projects. one concern is nexus with pedestrian safety is not totally clear on all of the projects being put forward. as folks mentioned it is a small pay as you go source. having that go toward allowing countdown signals along high-injury corridors throughout the city makes a lot of sense. those are the corridors that the mayor's pedestrian safety task force has ide

chiu, the transportation authority makes all modes of transportation possible in san francisco, and sfmta garage is one of our corner stone location partners for the launch of our public data, we're very happy to have director of the sfmta ed risken here to say a couple of words at our launch. er >> thank you and good morning, as the city's transportation director, i have the privilege of managing the mta which is the agency in san francisco responsible for implementing the city's transit first policy. in order to implement that policy, there's two key things we need, we need strong leadership and innovation and what we're seeing today is the manifestation of just that in san francisco. what we need to do as the government and the transportation agency is make sure there are good choices available to people in terms of how they get around san francisco. we want people to feel like they don't need to get in their car, they don't want to get in their car, maybe like supervisor chiu and i, they don't own a car because there are other good options for them to get around san francisco and ther

but we are ready to start bringing this logo into the vernacular of the sfmta. we're going to get it up on the screen. that is the logo that won the competition, which again we have worked on since then with our graphic staff. and this is the branding that will be applied to future replacement vehicles and to our existing fleet when we're doing any kind of normal change-out. we'll also be introducing things like business cards, letterhead presentations. it does not replace some of the existing things such as what is known as the worm. the familiar muni logo or the older muni logo, which is known at the oshaughnessey logo, but this is for the overall mta. so glad that once again for zero cost initiative, to help us communicate better with the public. next something john haley made reference to. the activities of the america's cup a few weeks ago and it was a time that we did a defendant run of many of the initiatives of people plan, many of the elements of people plan that were really developed for the big events next year. but we were able to test out a trial of

she is with sfmta. then we have maria cordero. and sheila evans. are they here? they are representing the sfmta. next up, harbaugh alan kelly, jr., batting for the p.u.c. commission. following him, we have edgar lopez, future building manager in construction design. thank you. tiffany, i don't see her. she may be joining us later. she is the newly a.ed director of the san francisco redevelopment agency. for those who don't know her, she has a very intimate understanding of the portfolio that the redevelopment agency has been managing. >> jeff newmeyer. did i say that correctly? >> good. >> he is with the san francisco international airport. next up we have barbara smith -- no, we actually have domenica henderson from the san francisco housing authority, one of our community leaders. we have rhonda simmons, who heads up the office of work force development. rhonda, give a wave to the people. thank you. do we have a representative from america's cup? the port authority, the port? [inaudible] maybe they will be joining us a little bit later. so, i think, if i am not

, in closing, you know, in the worst case scenario and for lack of additional evidence to support sfmta's claims, mr. kipnis should be facing disciplinary charges for sloppy bookkeeping and even if the specifically affected weigh bills were flagged, excluded, the 19 duplicates plus 8 weigh bills with long numbers and the mileage recorded, he would still be left with 80 weigh bills which is the exact number he needs to meet his full time driving requirement and he will not run the risk of [inaudible] they're under mandate to switch to electronic weigh bills by the end of this year, so we would urge this commission to extend that time in mr. kipnis' driving record so that he can get into that system and can show the mta a more definitively that he drove and not have to depend on sloppy bookkeeping or weigh bill records. >> thank you. >> i just have a question, i'm sorry, is there -- is mr. shamis here? >> yes, he is, he's here. >> my name is boris shamis. >> my question is you prepared this declaration for the appellant's attorney? >> yes. >> and from what i take it from reading your declar

chair, members of board, supervisor chu, bonds yee from the sfmta.i think supervisor chu said it very well. i couldn't possibly add anymore to what she has detailed. but i do want to emphasize that this is a pilot that we're proposing. and we're very mindful of the double-edged sword type of impact it could have on outside residents and businesses. so we're going to be very careful in working with you and businesses and everyone else impacted by this so select the locations that are going to be the most impacted by this proposed pilot. before-and-after evaluation, to )guq ",ñonly going to be implementing this regulation on streets that are going to be specifically signed.q;bi gb as in terms of the signage that is needed to effectuate this change. and i will be glad to answer c9ñ may have. >> actually, i did want to say that i really appreciate the map that was proved on one of the mta drafts this shows the most impacts areas seem to be district 10, 4 and 6 were about 80% of the identified 461 vehicles are located. and there is more minimal impacts, b

the rule is it would be for not supplying taxi security camera data to the sfmta.ant to remind everybody that it is illegal to record people pose a conversations without the express consent and these cameras that are in the taxicabs to record audio and there is no way to tell whether they're recording them or not. it is also established through recent senate hearings in california that drivers have the right to disable these devices and there is no easy way to disable these current cameras. there is no on-off switch. you have to call them or pull the plug. i think this needs to be revisited. maybe you need to make a fine. if a taxi company installs a camera that is recorded audio, there should be a fine. there is going to be some legal action soon if you do not do anything about it. you need to step up and impose a fine to cab companies to put cameras in and recording audio. terrace cannot be fined for disabling these devices. california law says we can. >> thank you. >> i am coming in toward the end of this. a major problem is it is difficult to address. the witne

i understand that the sfmta wants to consolidate, and that it is now in charge of parking, so i see the legitimacy of that. my concern is that if this is going to happen that we have that same easy system so that it works efficiently for everyone concerned. i'm also a little concerned about -- >> you are out of time but thank you. any other members of the public who would like to comment? seeing none, we will close public comment and just if we can get a response from the mta on the concerns that i raised. thank you. >> thank you for the question. we did meet with the kcbs and "the chronicle" prior to this. we decided in order to address their issue that we would do everything electronically. the police department would send us a list. we would get the permits and mail them in one block sum to the individual. in particular, kcbs and "the chronicle" so they wouldn't come to our offices. we arranged for that per contact person. there should be no reason they have to come to the mta customer center for the press permit. >> then, really, there is one time of year you are applying for the ca

we are also very lucky to have a bunch of people from sfmta, many of them are here. my job is to introduce the awardees. please join me and give a hand for jay primus, george reynolds, steven lee, and lorraine fuqua. >> thank you. this is a tremendous honor. it really does feel fabulous to be recognized. one of the relief fund things about this project is that it is just complex enough and just big enough that it is truly a case where hundreds of people were required to really get it off the ground. there's really nothing -- that's the kind of thing we dream about. working shoulder to shoulder with that many people to make something happen. it has never happened before. what a pleasure. unfortunately, the mfac award is limited to four people. we are up here representing an entire team. some of that court team is here tonight, including lauren, alex, lisa foster, hank wilson, lesley, jason lee, and brendan monaghan. [applause] those are some of the folks -- those are just some of the folks that really made sfpark happen. i hope you have a chance tonight to meet and co

the system have been heavily advanced to provide san francisco's local match contribution because sfmta has been unable to contribute to its own financial challenges. a strategic planned amendment is needed in order to fully fund caltran's request, allowing advance of approximately 1.9 million in prop k from fiscal years 2004 to 205, to 20-13 and the guideways category. among other requests we received, the san francisco transportation agency has requested 136,000 in prep k for design and construction of crosswalk and guardrail, modifications at the intersection of the ohsanessey and dale dell. also requesting 35,727 to construct crosswalks and red visibility curbs at controlled pedestrian cross. finally department of public works has requested 20,000 for curb side and landscape improvements on 24th adjacent to 24th commission bart administration southwest plaza. southwest curb and landscaping are scope elements of the 24th street mission. bart improvements project and full scope of plaza improvements should be completed in november 2013. we have representatives from the agencies reques

cac to postpone the vote on this until analysis can be drafted by the city planning department, the sfmtaso i would like to support that request by the cac of the market and octavia plan. >> president chiu: is there a motion. >> supervisor olague: making a motion to continue it. >> president chiu: to how long? >> supervisor olague: there's no specific dates because they are asking for some additional analysis by both of those departments so i'm trying to -- i'm not sure how long that would be. maybe a week or two? i guess i'll go two weeks. >> president chiu: okay. supervisor olague has made a motion to continue this item to to weeks. i think that would put it to -- >> clerk calvillo: october 16. >> president chiu: two weeks, october 2nd. is there a second to that motion? motion seconded by supervisor avalos. supervisor wiener. >> supervisor wiener: mr. president, thank you. i will not be supporting this continuance. and this is the first i'm hearing that any member of this body was interested in a continuance. this legislation has been thoroughly and fully vetted and i believe what super

this takes care of, for instance, the sfmta's anticipated radio replacement project. we have the rights to place their necessary dishes and receivers, as well as the department of technology and other departments as well. we have a total of four departments within this facility. to give you a sense of the expansion of rights under that condemnation agreement, we have the right for five racks of equipment in the building and eight dishes. this agreement allows us to have 15 dishes and antennas on the tower and 33 different transmitters and receivers, so we believe this does take care of our long-term needs. since we've been negotiating this and had a sense of what this pricing would be, the fiscal impact has been embedded in the adopted fiscal year 13 dem budget, so there is no future fiscal impact. we have addressed that in the adopted budget. happy to answer any questions you might have. >> thank you very much. supervisor avalos. >> thank you, chair chu. to clarify something in the resolution. you talked about it briefly. we have the base rent up through may 31st is

so we have worked actually very closely with officer lavin and the sfmta to clear up some parking for our area. as i left on my way here, there is one bus-sized suv that has been there for over a week. the tires are marked and there is some effort to get it moved. i don't think anyone is living in it. i think it's just abandoned. shuttle buses and vans and that is on the north side of our building.g so the occasionally car-parking there and occasional rv is one thing, but we're absolutely inundated with these vehicles. again our tenants are very much in support of some kind of relief, some kind of teeth, so that the mta and the police department can work with us and try to come up with some solution. it sounds like obviously the better solution is to find a place for these people to go. so that is it. i do have a letter from one of our businesses. they couldn't be here, but they wanted me to present this on their behalf. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon land use. i want to say how are you supposed to find some parking in town when your vehicle is large

it is very much in the interests of the people of san francisco that the sfmta manage it carefully.ts value is somewhat uncertain at the moment. i urge you to date not to devalue your brand -- i urge you today. it is in the interests of the people of san francisco that the value of this brand go always up and never down. please pass this item today. i believe that in doing so, you will ensure that there continues to be a robust interest in this spectacularly valuable asset. thank you. director nolan: we are going to take just a brief break. ok? >> good afternoon. the purpose of a pilot program is to see if an experimental idea will work. i think the medallion sales pilot worked very well. the obvious thing to do is to stay the course. i do not think that the legislation in front of you really did that, but with the amendments director heinickefá s put in, it gets more to that realm. i still think that the 20% resale is out of line. in new york city, it is 5%. people purchasing these are still under a heavy burden, and i hope that will get reduced further. to me, using the drivers fu
