this is supplemental to the rainy day reserves. under the terms of this reserve, it can come from three volatile revenue sources, and these include property transfer taxes above the average of the past five years. and not already appropriated as a source for the subsequent year's budget. that would feed this reserve. and finally, non-property asset sales of those occur. withdrawals from the reserve are triggered also in the case of a revenue downturn. the terms are supplemental to the rainy day reserve and it is intended to provide for at least three years of support for the city of the budget -- city's budget. plus the stabilization reserve is no more than 10% of reserves. if or when we are able to reach that level. we do it just for changes in the rates. the results of the rate change are not considered part of the average. there are also a couple of smaller reserves that are written into the charter. there is the budget incentive reserve created some time ago that allows for 25% to be carried forward and used. this is also allowed to

"this is legal under the old and new law. this has a different review process. this has a long review process. this is not prohibited. >> it takes it to a tier 3. >> ok. >> thank you. >> now we can hear from the department. >> good evening, commissioners. the position is fairly simple. the coopers were correct in that this has a good view per the planning documentation. during the department review process, the data set we are using did not identify the street segment. once this information was provided,

increfment financing and here's the new world under i.f.d.'s, here are the changes. and we believe those to be, you know fairly minimal but yet significant. so we haven't briefed our title board on this yet, the changes we are proposing. we're going to do that in the next week. so we would like to come back to you after that hearing and present these changes. there's also structural changes on how this deal will be done. we don't have a redevelopment plan anymore. there's structural things that we have to change in the transaction so we can kind of walk you through. and then we would like to go back to our regularly scheduled briefings on the project itself. president olague: fine. thank you. great. so you're basically asking we continue this discussion to april 7th? it's already on the calendar. >> yes, joint hearing, we wouldn't need the joint hearing. president olague: changes the whole conversation. it would be important for us to be informed of what those changes are. ok, that's fine. >> if i could add, two weeks ago at your hearing, you

any area plan the city may consider. so under the -- in the e.i.r., we analyze what is the most reasonable projection for how long a project would take, but do try to take into account it could occur over a different period of time. supervisor campos: i think that's part of the problem i have in understanding how complete this analysis is, because to the extent you're saying there's a possibility the length of the project could be 30 years, but the e.i.r. only analyzes up to 20 years, then how complete is the analysis? that's the question. >> again, the length of time we have chosen depends on the topic area, and some of them are shorter and some of them are longer depending on the requirements on the analysis and also our desire to present the most conservative analysis for the impacts that might occur under each topic. supervisor campos: i know my colleagues -- >> i want to repeat something mr. cooper said in his original presentation. by analyzing primarily a 20-year period, if you concentrate construction impacts, whether it'

in 1999, we then initiated the stabilization plan for the building. under the leadership of then general manager goldstein, in march 2004, the ownership of the building was transferred from muni to the recreation and parks department. the group developed a specific program for adaptive reuse on the building based on the award winning gallery 37. calory 37 was designed to create a way to educate. 260 apprentice artists for six weeks. it has grown to provide 4000 employment positions in programs that operate year round. richard daley has identified gallery 37 as one of his administration's most successful programs, and in recognition of the success, in guidelines to develop programs elsewhere, and has been duplicated in 15 cities across the country. the university of chicago issue brief determined that students to present it in the program missed fewer days of school, failed a significantly lower percentage of their classis, and had higher graduation rates. research indicates the trend in business planning -- placing a greater emphasis on creativity. a nonpro

the gentlelady's request will be covered under general leave. ms. jackson lee: i ask unanimous consent to strike the last word. the chair: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. jackson lee: i'd like to simply add that you need to put faces on what this legislation is doing. it is a simple act. it guts and eliminates all remaining funding. it does say that if you are in the midst of the program you might continue. but everyone knows how solid f.h.a. is. whenever you hear f.h.a. you know that there is a framework that really provides for protection for the federal government and a fiscally responsible program that provides the federal government with protection for those who are able to utilize it. but even traveling through airports, mr. chairman, i had a man with a family who indicated that in the midst of the holiday season even though he had been told by the banking institution that his mortgage was intact, they would allow him to continue to pay, he was keeping up but having difficulty, looking for modification, a few days into the new year, january 6

our findings over the audit period, the puc has collected $6.8 million under the mission valley leases. up to $634,000 and underpayment, potential underpayments, and other recoveries. due to the complexity of the leases and the data availability, we broke this finding down to three categories. immediate revenue recovery, potential revenue recovery, and lost revenue recovery. immediate recovery was $154,904 that was identified for immediate recovery. this is tenant rent owed. hanson did not comply with this lease. one out of four tested had misreported the royalty rates. potential recovery -- 479,000 plus and we are pending further information, such as supporting documentation from hanson and input from the city attorney. the majority of the potential recovery amount is based on the auditor's review of the tell a royalty payment, documentation during which it identified a number of issues with the methodology used to calculate royalties. in this particular area, we found that there were a lot of numbers that did not match. their methodology was not consistent. we did a lot of in-depth r

they do it all the time under rule 23f. there's nothing prohibiting the supreme court for saying as defined as this problem is, let's carve it and redefine it slightly to have a class that's certifiable or desert my this class and send it down with certain classes. that's well within the power of the supreme court. adam may have a different take on that. >> no, no, i agree. it's like the game of life. everybody has a retirement slot. there's lots of paths to get there, but any number of manageability options and the issues class under c4 which the ninth circuit did, but didn't lay out explicitly. remember, rule 23 is a management tool to permit the court to efficiently hear a case, that's the construct. it isn't to give it advantage to one side or the other, so there are plenty of management tools built into rule 23 and more broadly courts rule out to hear cases and manage cases in ways they see fit, but there are plenty solutions to the problems presented in this case. >> yeah, and i think that goes to the question that's g

you don't have the ability to force an agency to do something. your role under the charter is to identify what is happening and report on what is happening. i think that is where this committee can play a role in at least airing out what is going on are not going on so that the public knows that. i would like to maybe work with the controller's office to figure out how that looks on a periodic basis. you can report on a number of reports to see where that implementation is as a way of making sure we maximize the use of the work you have done. supervisor chiu: i have a specific question on exactly where we are on the mta. what i continue to hear is there is so much of the tdp that has not been implemented. maybe for the public, just a 32nd on what the tep is. >> that was a joint project initiated with the mta problem about four years ago. it was the first comprehensive review of the punctuality of mass transit in san francisco since the 1970's, a line by line review, ways to speed the system, a comprehensive look at the transit side of the mta. the initial report

with the equipment, this is at 1947% of capacity. these are well under any loading issues that would cause a concern. the equipment that is surrounding when you look at whether or not, this blends in with the surrounding. this equipment was not permitted by the city. these types of boxes have virtually no permitting within the city. they are just installed similar to wireless infrastructure before the 2007 ordinance went into place, which of course has now been replaced by the new avalos legislation. this type of equipment has no output. these go up under a standard in christmas but don't have any type of to involve the notice like under the new legislation. nextg is a telecommunications company. the department of public works will not sign off on a single permit until everything is in full compliance. we would like to have the right to fully comply. our rights are vested under the law. because it was probably granted and was not able to be fully completed but this was substantially completed, we relied upon the permit in good faith. to the extent that t

mainly to pay the bills under contract that they have agreed to pay. specifically regarding to the planning department, there are obvious ways that we will have to get involved. because of the time frame only been three months away, if this goes forward, we have to plan for this as a contingency. we would likely be asked to take over the planning and entitlement functions within the redevelopment areas. it would add substantially to the portfolio of the department overnight. it clearly has budgetary and staffing implications. it is under the jurisdiction of the agency. within the short time frame we have, we would likely be putting forward legislation. we obviously don't have time to create dunning for all of those sites. there will have to be legislation put forward that as far as i can tell will have to be affective july 1 for the city's planning code to take over the controls. that is the status as i know it. the city has tried to put forward an amendment that would allow some of the project areas to continue. so far, that amendment has not been take

the old law, it is not a sign of completion. under the new law, it is basically saying it is complete. commissioner hwang: so under the old law, it has actually been functional, but prior to that time, it was not? >> prior to november 18, no, it was not functional. commissioner fung: how many of your facilities require some type of modification, in terms of the antenna and in terms of the flush mount. >> i know we have seven under the 3-g and trying to do some quick mathematics, we had some for the 4-g network, and i believe of the panel antennas, a lot of sights of a different condition on them. it did not essentially change it. not properly reflected or they were never updated, and i think with those flush mounts, from looking at them, there were probably about 10 out of 65. those are the ones that we still have the parts on order. " they have not been completed yet. commissioner peterson: i do not know much about your company and how many people are employed, but i get a sense that if there was a project manager in san francisco or
