we work closely with the whole city family. i feel the day was a success. we have people at the city emergency operation center; we had the department operations center open, a lot of planning, all the city agencies, came together to make the day success. we open the subway early and ran extra buses to get participants to the start of the race; we were part of the regional security plan that covered all of downtown including underground stations. we had our pcos and service supervisors deployed to key locations that we could manage traffic on the street and make adjustments on the fly as needed. we get everybody to the race and back using 75 extra buses and extra rail service; we had very little in the way of problems during the day. we always learn things from these events. some small adjustments were made but overall it was a successful day not just for transportation that for the whole city. the event went rather well. finally the last item i was going to note, director heinicke noted, the 2013 biennial report to measure residents opinion on city service

we also represent the whole city. any district supervisor that focuses on the district without addressing the citywide issues is not doing his or her job. every day, i make sure i am working on the major citywide issues and the district issues. i try to be disciplined about that. >> how will you approach the tough choices? >> i think we have to start by looking at the most critical city services that we cannot do without. what are the ones that if they deteriorated, we will pay the price on? public safety falls into that category as a basic critical service. transportation, making sure we have the functional muni is critical. core public health services like dealing with mental on this on our streets -- with mental illness on our streets. if we do not provide services, we will pay the price. it works out from there in terms of budget priorities. >> with your plans on dealing with homelessness? >> it is homelessness in general and behavior on the streets. we need to make sure people have access to services. i was a supp

the system. we don't have enough vehicles to accommodate this influx of transit users. it's important to free up munis to ensure they are serving the city as a whole. right now munis doesn't have any spare light rail vehicles. if they need to be concentrated in a certain area for an event, that means we don't have enough for the rest of the city and as you know colleagues, munis has $2.2 billion in deferred maintenance and 404 is on the vehicles alone. we don't want the transportation to slow to a crawl because we have an event going on. we should be accommodating an event. i asked for a study for the variety of the fee between $1-3 surcharge for concert venues and also to consider venues with 5,000 seats or more or 1,000 seats or more. a preliminary analysis has identified that this potential fee range would generate somewhere between $3 million on the low and and $2 million on the high end. it could purchase four brand new lrv's each year or rehabilitative 16 broken down lrv which will extend their life. munis as the subway is at a breaking point right now. the system is not meeting the needs of 2013 san francisco and with a significant increase

one of the purposes you are sitting here is to serve the whole city. i'm not objecting to any of the apps but you have to preserve the system for the old and also for the people that don't have credit cards. i would estimate that probable 20 or 25 percent of the population of this city does not have a credit card. without a credit card you can't use any of the legal or legally apps so you have to take that into c. in the higher report they suggest more part time cabs. the only solution for you if you want to have part time cabs is to continue the single operator program. thank you >> (calling names) and a good afternoon, commissioners. thanks for having had me. and travel is one of the major economical drivers of san francisco. last year the 16.5 million visitors that came to san francisco spent $1.8 million and contributed $800 million to support road maintenance and fire services. the city is taking steps to grow the industry like growing moscone. one of the major complaints we receive is the lack of taxi service in san francisco. it would be a shame
