i appreciate the mta taking those out. i think maybe it's a matter of taste but those are the ones that bother me the most. when we talk about driver safety, those are the ones that bother me. i think as we hear about all the accidents on the roads nowadays and just look next to you if you're ever in a car the amount of people texting while they're driving is crazy in the city. the wrap ads, to be quite frank, they don't bother me as much. i think up to 30 is really kind of comparative to the fleet minuscule amount of buses. revenue is obviously at a premium especially mta when they continue to be underfunded. there are budget choices that continue to be made at the mta some we agree with some which we don't. [speaker not understood]. to me the digital ads were the most important. so, i thought i'd just put my voice where i feel. i'm okay with the 30, i'm also okay with 15 as well. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you. i just wanted -- supervisor mar mentioned that they have not, i guess, reached the 15 mark level and i just w

and the mta board approved our two-year capital budget and bringing to the mta board next week, that should be publicly available probably today. gives a deep detail on every project in the full cip. just as a mentioned last time, if you look accumulatively over time, what it capital budget represents is a significant increase in investment and bike and pedestrian safety. and i know that has been an interest of many stakeholders and the board. i covered this last time, very significant investment in implementing walk first and implementing vision zero. significantly investment to continue the bike strategy. and we mentioned of the task force that the mayor got people through the city for the $10 billion need in the next 10 years. what the task force recommended was $3 billion in local revenues. starting in november, the general obligation bond. they thank you for endorsing as it was introduced this week. and as well as the restoration of the vehicle license fee back to 2%. which together would generate $1.5 billion over the next 15 years. >> can you step back to vision zero. what typ

. >> thank you, from the beginning when mta discussed implementing sunday meters, i was opposed to it. and had to do with the church community and the fact that many seniors who attend church drive their cars mostly on sunday. it's kind of a tradition in my community, not necessarily driving, but church services. there is double-parking and meters and all of these things. i think the challenge for me was just how information was communicated to those churches. and those people who participate in church. i think that -- and the other thing i felt that we are nickel diming people, that the mayor used in his speech, that i said first. i felt that way, we charge for everything and can we have one day where the city is not nickel and diming people. sunday meters was implemented. i wasn't a fan, i got two tickets. eventually what i did appreciate about it, i start to get used to it as a driver. and the meters have changed and made it easier to pay by phone and technology and a couple other things. but unfortunately this has not made it easy on seniors. and yes, there are low-income seniors

the mayor and mta have turned their backs on people living with disabilities and people with h.i.v. making us wait until after the november election, why wait, do it now. reject the mta budget, freeze them out until seniors and people with disabilities ride muni for free. until the mta and the mayor care about seniors and people with disabilities. and people living with aids and h.i.v. give us some relief now. this crisis of affordability, this crisis of housing, this crisis of transportation has an effect on everyday citizens. this age crisis, let's talk about the give aways already given away, the google buses, gen-tech buses, sunday freebies, a revenue program for the mta that could pay for the program for seniors and those with disabilities. you want people to vote for your november ballot? why don't you give us a free ride. thank you. >> next speaker. >> morning, supervisors, thank you for having this meeting. i am a senior in disability action. in regards to the mta budget, i first want to acknowledge the great work with riskin and the commissioners and the board. especially th

. >> gail stein from the mta. as long as there are 15 wraps in the contract, the contract will pay us $325,000 for each year of the contract guaranteed. to the degree that there are more than that, we would pick up any additional revenue through the 65% revenue share. so, there is not an additional guarantee that we would see that money. and in fiscal year 2012-13, the contractor paid us more than $1.1 million over the minimum annual guarantee and about two third of that was due to wraps with windows. >> and based on what we have in term of a guarantee, it's about $30 million. will that guarantee change as a result of reducing the number of vehicles? >> the guarantee without that would not change. it would be -- the numbers that you have before you, if it was lower than 15, it would be less -- you would subtract 325,000 for each year. so, the guarantee does not change above 15. >> i'm not certain if i'm clear on that, but i -- excuse me? >> if i may through the chair, it's the up side potential that changes. so, th

i think that's a great idea and i've worked is mta staff to start the process. and my office has also worked closely with mta to remove all language regarding electronic advertisements. we also developed the language to ensure that mta trackses and listens to complaints about the vehicle wrap. i supported making those changes, but i don't at this current time support reducing the contract in term of the number of wraps. the mta estimates it will need approximately $20 million more per year in its operating budget as a result of recent policy decisions. the expansion of free muni, something advocated by many members of the board, will cost muni's operating budget about 9 million. free sunday parking meters is another 111 million and this is not even taking into account the 12% service increase envisioned under the tep which could cost another 40 million dollars a year. ~ 11 million the budget analyst has confirmed the titan contract will give 30 million to mta over five years. that's a guarantee of at least $6 million per year, $6 million could pay for free muni f

i want to highlight that fares are indexing up as per the policy put forward by the mta board in 2009. proposed 3% transit increase in the first year, and continuation of free muni for low and moderate-income of kids, thanks to the gift of google. and expansion of that program to 18 year olds. i will skip the next bullet since we covered that. and there is some administrative costs that we are able to reduce. and then some things that we have put kind of in contingent category subject to a fiscal review. there were other things that were raised that did not get recommended or included in the budget. such as a hiring increase for the f-line. such as reducing the line as we discount the senior and youth, and disabled fares. as well as a discount for clipper users. these are things that we had on the table, but were not advanced in the final budget. with regard to the fiscal review, we have a lot of unknowns right now. we are in the midst of labor negotiations, the contract expiring on september 30, and the highway fund runs out of money this year. the state budget is up in the air, the

i am speaking on here on behalf of the mta equity policy. i will start off with a quote from franklin roosevelt, the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those that have much, but whether we have enough for those that have little. we began the process of looking at equity in the mta to the t-30 process. while it was great to see the focus that hadn't happened in years from the mayor's office, and many people in the community did not feel a part of the process. especially when looking at going to the ballot to raise revenue for a go-bond, and possibly a vlf. and we need to be sure that the community is bonded in the process and believe there is something for us. we actually formed a coalition of the members of the community to how we can shape equity to be a part of the mta budget. i want to thank director reiskin and staff that worked on doing some analysis for us. and actually bringing together a framework of equity that is before you, i believe today. that effort was appreciated and it's significant. and the o

the board vote for it? or is that formula driven by charter? >> it's formula driven by mta board policy. and they adopted the formula result as part of the budget. it's coming to you as part of the budget. >> right, if you don't like the fare, i could vote the budget down, but not the fare down? >> you can vote the whole thing down. >> got it. so what is the 25 cents index or increase, called increase, how much does that bring in this terms of revenue overall? >> the fare revenues overall is $200 million, 20-25% of the budget. in terms of what that quarter, what percentage of those fares come through the cash fare. >> so the incremental 25 cents in the fare can bring in more cash than years ago. >> okay, what was the cost of the metering? >> the gross cost was $11 million. >> so we eliminated sunday metering but raised fares on riders? >> there are a lot of things that are happening in this budget and those two are two of those things, that's correct. i mentioned we are currently in the final stages of our labor negotiations. and don't know the outcome of those. and point of reference reg

and the exciting part is mta wants to implement the low cost treatments as part of the implementation effort. mta will begin the planning by october of this year and expects to complete by the february 2015 and the early implementation projects by june of this year this will position the discretionary rents for the full implementation. on next the traffic survey project the matt is requesting money for bicyclist and norm in favor of riding to major changes from pedestrian safety and mta anticipates to start the surveys for the bicycle projects from july that's been updated to start as early as july and the prop k funds to cover the surveys wore one and a half years. the next mta is requesting 54 thousand prop k opportunity the design of 8 locations and 4 of them on lake street has been constructed with prop b bond and mta anticipates beginning the construction in june of this year and completing by september of this year that's a taller than and they're requesting 80 thousand for the landscaping in interests in the eastern neighborhood improvement study for the 7th and 8th street are

so the guaranteed revenues to the mta is greater than than the previous agreement and one difference i think go of interest is our current distract allows up to 15 contracts that will allow up to thirty wraps with my approval. i guess i'll say and i know there's been concern on the issue is generally those revenues are extremely important to the agencies there are things people want us to address the affordability issue this is a way to not go into the pocket of san franciscans whether people paying for parking or other means it is our responsibility to use our assets to be able to generate revenue when they have that ability. in terms of the wraps i know has on a sensitive issue we have more than 5 thousand vehicles we have cable cars and streetcars not boats. thirty 15 and thirty is a small percentage of a thousand there are fortune 50 wraps sometimes during the holidays with having we have more than 15 but to bring that revenue in the technology of the wraps is getting better to see out then to see in. i will provide information the muni logo is not obstructed by the wraps that wa

refinances the oppositions and the streets improvements on howard and folsom. mta will start the planning will complete the planning by march of next year and with that, joining from mta is here to answer any questions >> i see no questions and thank you for being here all the time too. let me open this up for public comment oh, we have several cards as well. i have gilbert, asia those are the two cards >> hi i'm a central city democratic's i oppose any more funding for the mta this committee should freeze the money until citizens can ride mta for free until they have a plan for people with disabilities. the mta board has left the citizens and disabled in limbo tell them to wait until after the november election why should we wait while the mta has a budget surplus of $22 million. citizens and people with disabilities need to ride muni for free today. we have a crisis in the city a transportation crisis a housing crisis and an affordability crisis the mayor has a pr disaster on his hand when we gave away free parking. i urge you to say no and don't pass this out of

open that in terms of you're going this money to start at least back filling a portion of the money the mta give away i believe supervisor farrell making made a similar argument i'm concerned about the long-term fiscal health of the agency and muni system. you know, we know there are over 2 employed in deferred maintenance on the system. we know over the next 25 years muni has like $5 billion or more in capital needs for which we have no identified funding we have a growing city we're not visiting in the system to meet the current needs of our resident let alone our growing city whether in the market street subway or on third where the system is not keeping up. and mta is doing i think some very good things in terms of professionally the way it's investing in maintenance and making smart moves but all the smart moves in the world will not get us out of the predicaments and i don't think this building has gotten serious about the health of the muni. the introduction of yesterday's bond i'm extremely supportive of it and i hope it passes but it goes beyond. mr. reiskin you and i have had vari

i appreciate the conversation around mta's budget. we have currently secured funding for low-income youth, so, that is not on the table. that is funded privately now. so, that has been included at mta's budget. if mta was to come out and say they would support free muni for low-income seniors and disability, he if he we can approve 30 wraps i'm happy to support 30 wraps today, but i don't think that is the commitment being made today nor do the 15 wraps cover the cost of free muni for low-income seniors and disabled. if i'm wrong about that, director reiskin, i'm happy to hear a commitment today for free muni for low-income seniors and disabled. >> supervisor yee. might as well join the chorus here. if director reiskin [speaker not understood], i would also support the expansion. if not, then i imagine if you go up to 20 i'd feel comfortable with that. that alone would be a 33% increase. but if the majority of the sentiment is at 15, i'll go along with that. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you. my -- let me i guess make the suggestion.

has the technology improved or what's happening there >> gail from the mta pare the technology does continue to improve will have of the wraps are clear and they've put a lot of the colors onto the body of the vehicles so we're definitely ware u aware that people have issues the contract requires the contractors to use better and better materials. >> so the experience i had was sometime last fall or i think it was last fall. is that not happening anymore >> we've heard not heard from very many people we don't feel that's still a problem. >> i mean despite the glasses i have descendent eyesight is that again i don't have poor eyesight. >> we've not heard from many people i ride and look all the time and i have not had problems so, so i don't think that's that big have a problem. >> i know there's a variety of different kinds of adds some lighter or darker does muni have a way to access this color pallet on the ads is going to cause a sdanlt issue. >> we haven't had problems with disabled people coming and claiming but how you look at it sometimes, the whops that are clearer and don't have muc

if approved by the mta board we would then be implementing the pilot closure on june 21.e will monitor results. if at any time due to conditions as identified by neighborhood groups, the public, our old parking control officers, we determine that this pilot is leading to too many unwanted consequences, we will stop the pilot so we do have the flexibility since then a pilot to not continue through all four weekends if that's what's determined to be a safe or preferred by the parties involved. so we'll be doing monitoring of traffic to see if there are, again, any unintended side effects. sometimes when you close streets there's problems with other streets. there may be issues with pedestrians overtaking the crooked street and some intersections and that becoming something we need to manage and how residents have access in and out of their homes on lombard, that will also be something we'll monitor. we'll be talking to our cable car division to see how they're affected by this closure and we'll be doing observations as well about how the traffic disperses in the area. the q

clerk we have continued this item and i know there's been movement since then and going forward on the mta value of the go forward on the property tax given the ucf f mr. richmond i'll invite you up and go to our budget analyst. >> thank you chair farrell. good afternoon tiffany the executive director of community investment and infrastructure along with the mayor's office office of economic workforce development appreciate the opportunity to be here to present this new information. it's a quick recap and o pas property there's a tax property agreement any agreement will be subject to paying those payments under the payment agreement under the currently tax agreement uscf will have to pay 3.8 million of our ucsf they'll pay up front 10.2 million for affordable housing 2 hundred and 35 affordable unit and for infrastructure that goes to the master developer informs he will. what were the had w what were the or with respect w to the new information supervisor breed raised that the mission bay development will allow the operations to continue and uic leases those throughout the city as a tax

we know that enforcement is the stick, but there are a lot of carrots but we are certainly pushing the mta and the dpw to pursue those carrots by making the streets safer in the first place and the enforcement piece is important until we get there because, it does take a long time to rebuild streets that were designed for speed, and not safety. >> i think one other thing, you know, i think just continuing to emphasize that goal of 50 percent of citations going towards the focus on the five, and we saw, a slight increase from 22 to 25 percent i believe, and over... and from last year to this first quarter and we love to see that grow even more. and i want to point out that you know, we saw a very steep increase in the number of citations to pedestrians, and of course, we have to enforce all traffic behaviors and i also want to point out that you know, we want to urge you all to also think about the impact that you have on other people, so, when we get behind the wheel of a vehicle, we take on a new level of responsibility, where we are operating a vehicle that has the ability to kill anothe

public works i want to let you know we've come a long way and our agency is working closely with the mta and the port and planning department and the fire department and police we're hard working making our city safer but to do that you've heard everyone say november it critical so the two bonds the vehicle license fee and the bond on the november ballet will be very, very important to provide the funding to continue for many, many years to make san francisco a safe city. >> thank you director. >> and prioritizing safety on our streets i want to particularly appreciate the san francisco police department please welcome chufr. >> i think it if a point under the leadership the supervisors we're going committed to vision zero to having no fatalities in san francisco. (clapping.) >>. sadly we're not going to make the goal this year nobody is happy when the enforcement is up but in partnership with the people in engineering and bike coalition and walk sf this city is safer and collisions are down 8 percent and bicycles down 18 percent and bicyclists over 20 percent involving cars are down it
