to the sfmta board and the board of supervisors that all policy based discounts on the sustainability be less than 100%. as we understand it now, the idea is that for things like affordable housing and units of housing where there are no units attached that there would be no paying into the sustainability. -- the sustainability fee. we are not suggesting a number that it should be scaled down to, but we think it should be something nonzero, because there are obviously some commendable goals for having more housing that is not accompanied by parking. these do generate transit trips, and this is something that has to be paid for, so if we look at the fiscal sustainability of the agency, we think it is important to look at charging something for this, for these developments. also, i have an item pertaining, a recommendation pertaining to item 11 on the agenda today. we have a discussion about the america's cup, and we recommend that the board take measures to ensure that the sfmta budget is protected from unexpected losses related to the 34th america's cup and that the day-to-day service

we presented at the planning commission, at the sfmta board, at the transportation authority and now we're before your commission. our goal is to have a final ordinance in environment review beginning next month. it will take about a year and a half and we expect to have environment review end in -- summer of 2013 and then we will hope that the ordinance moves to a full board for a vote in the fall of 2013. so as you can tell, we're here a little bit early, but that's the point, we want to get your feedback and do know that this ordinance will be introduced, but it will be parked at committee at land use committee for some time until we have the environmental review done and we can actually then ask the planning commission and others to take action. so with that long presentation behind me, i'm open to any questions, concerns, and ideas. thank you. president o'brien: questions, commissioner o'brien. thank you, president, the first thing was to disclose among many of the hats they wear in the city, i do a little bit of development work in the city and i wish to disclose for the record

i want to say that the board of oaa is in support of the cac plan and the balboa park plan. we are looking forward to working with the sfmta and board of supervisors to provide oversight. >> afternoon, sueprvisrs -- supervisors. i published the newspaper that serves balboa park, and a member of the powerhouse that is a little thing we're doing over there. i support this, i urge you to support it because balboa park is a gem. it is the identified as a priority development area by the bay area plan. it has great potential, right next to city college, a high- school. thank you very much. supervisor kim: thank you. are there other public speakers for item number one? >> good morning, supervisors. i lived nearby in westwood park. i would like to speak out in favor of this resolution, but i have some concerns that i think the advisory committee should address in the future. the obvious one is the traffic congestion here at the station. the second one is changes along falen avenue for traffic for city college.

board, that they trust -- president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i am going to piggyback on what mr. maxwell was saying, asking americans being wrongfully terminated, for instance at sfmta -- if an operator has 10 plus years and is african-american, they come after you. i filed a sexual harassment charge. i went to the eeoc. i went to the dsc h -- dseh. management came after me like a lion, and i was wrongfully terminated in less than a year. i challenge you to go into sfmta and do an investigation and see what is going on. people are being wrongfully terminated who have 10 plus years and are african-american. i challenge you. sexual harassment -- there is wrongful retaliation. it has to stop. because you are a whistle- blower, i challenge you. do an investigation. >> steve zeltzer, united public workers for action. proposition c was supposed to defend the interests of public workers while making concessions, and change the health care structure. but we have learned with the redevelopment workers giving laid-off is including in proposition c is a clause getting rid of reciprocity, so public workers from san francisco could not transfer out and keep their health care ben

sfmta for proper maintenance of their transit vehicles. i have a 23% disability because i got injured a muni bus. something has to be done here. the mta has to answer to this board as far as the responsibility of making sure they have adequate funding to take care of the needs of the riding public. the public is in danger on the muni vehicles, and these issues need to be addressed. as an end result, i come before you, mr. campos, and show you pictures of muni vehicles with defective tires. i was retaliated against. i was terminated because i spoke out to cal osha, highway patrol, places that could help us. it is your jurisdiction to make sure that the public -- as a supervisor, it is your obligation to your constituents to make sure they have save transit vehicles in your district. but do you do that? no, you sit here and you pass b.s. litigation for the big businesses, you have got to be able to take care of your own infrastructure before you can enhance it. if you cannot do that, if you cannot make a basic decision on making sure your constituents have safe, reliable transportation, there is no need to expand it. commissioner campos: thank you very much. next
