now to recap, sfmta seeks to revoke mr. oha's medallion for not meeting his full-time requirement for 2005 to '08 for which he was already disciplined. he was also found to not have met the /raoeufrplt for 2011 and 10. also mr. oha claims eligibility for an ada accommodation modifying his driving requirement for those hours as allowed under mta's policy. sfmta also seeks to revoke his medallion for not meeting the requirements for wheelchair customers. in 2012 he filed to transfer. in may 2013 sfmta sought revocation of both mr. oha's ramp taxi medallion and best cab color scheme with violations associationed with mr. oha's ramp taxi medallion. in other words they blocked mr. oha from making corrections and now seeks to hold both medallion holder and taxi company liable for ongoing violations related to mr. oha's medallion. we respectfully urge the commission to reverse those revocations and i'm available to answer questions. . >> counselor, your brief did not address one of the points made by the department related to wher

and the decisions that you make for the sfmta effects that. the requirements and because sometimes, this is not, necessarily always understood by the other departments. but for small business, they see the city as one big entity. and so, whether it is the sfmta and whether it is puc, and whether it is dpw and whether it is the department of public health, they see us all as one. and i like to liken it as if you are looking at your bank, and you have a checking account and a savings account and a mortgage, or, you know, a home equity line of credit or a credit card, you like at your financial institution as one entity to be able to navigate and you want the ability for those things to be able to communicate and function well, with each other, for you to be able to manage, what in this situation, managing your money. so, with small business and primarily, our commercial corridor businesses, there is a lot that the city brings to them. and asks them to do. and so, it is the graffiti is on the business, they are required to do the graffiti removal

2013 if you add those up their approaching the prop a bond of $500 million in 2011 when prop a gave sfmta revenue bond authority it was a trust an assurance we hoped that muni would improve now with continuing the decline of muni in neighborhoods thought the city and looking at prop as language of what it implements is more the transmitted effect you've seen the fights over every bus line and route and shortening of routes and the continuing loss of people for the buses if and when prop a passes like the 3 jake we find the revenue bonds are more specific then the prop a language and most of the revenue bonds money goes to muni which is interesting but prop a so much of the money it does not go to muni and prop a it is not destined and we don't know where the money is going the central subways legal definition now the pmc reports shows a higher liefkd of cost overruns we need to see mta get it's houses in order we need to see you manage the money. >> thank you, mr. wong anything else wish to address the board commissioners questions or comments a motion to >> we have a motion and a second.

reynolds will be presenting on the proposals by that sfmta >> good afternoon. thank you for allowing me here. the engineering subcommittee of the steering committee will be the place where we identify and

one program for one reason there's not one taxi driver on this commission not one working within the sfmta to promote taxi benefits for drivers your crushing us there our management right now how would you like our income to drop 50 or 60 percent when the commissions looking at you like you're on drugs only to find out we've pumped $267 million a year into our pocket and get exactly nothing in return we'll have no pensions no retirement system zero and then there's uber and lift only to find out you sit onion the side rails looking at like it's not happening they're showing up everyone you've got teenager that are driving for lift thursday and friday and saturday nights saturating the city while you sit back as to we're sick or crazy because we're exclaiming yes complaining while you stare at us that's what you've done for the past 4 years particularly the placing last 2 and a half years they've disguised themselves as limousines i have 7 or 8 copies of the lastly efforts of uber at the airport (clapping) and. >> good afternoon. i'm doreen maxwell since 1999 has been a terrorist organizati

reynolds will be presenting on the proposals by that sfmta >> good afternoon. thank you for allowing me here. the engineering subcommittee of the steering committee will be the place where we identify and track the implementation of those projects. and there are other things that the engineering subcommittee will be working on overlapping with the city visions on product delivery and trying to bring that afford it merits it's an hour of communication in the near future and i agree there are a lot of places to do things better and a lot of opportunity to talk about why a if 2 hundred thousand project and $2 million project might have similar lines pardon with that, i want to say a few things about the 24 list first and foremost i hope and building we'll deliver more than 24 projects by january 2006 the walk calls for one hundred in the third year recognizing it takes awhile to step up and get resources together. you know the transit effectiveness project and the bicycle strategy and bottom work are underway at this moment and have their own hopes and dreams to i

sfmta capitol policies have been, in effect, really since 2011 providing the policy framework for the management of scope, schedule and budgets that are obviously are the heart of any management and control system for project delivery. and develop, the clear procedures for a budgetary and scope changes and each of these changes are documented for analysis and lessons learned. for the three years of data, it is possible for sfmta to evaluate the data and the more proactive and proposed changes and processes the project delivery. but what we call the transportation capitol committee or the tcc recently approved the 5-year program that was adopted by the sfmta board on may 20th when the annual basis reviews, the cip past performance, and recommends improvements going forward. project p development phase, and since we have established what we call a free development phase to better design the scope of front, and prepare a better initial cost estimates that improves the opportunities for the project coordination and when the process of recruiting a project schedule and cost estimator and w

in particular we've been working to have strategies about don't block the box and sfmta initiated a pilot from july to september with data they're to present at today's hearing it is what we can do to continue our work and how we can make our pilot permanent thought intersection in our district and whatever tools we have i want to recognize that san francisco municipal transportation agency has been working on don't block the box cameras and to help with the enforcement with the work that sfmta and sf pd does we know that people will be moving slowly and we want them to move and don't block the box will be an rather than to help us we have sfmta here and i want to thank and recognize aaron miller and peter and they're planning interim aerial that did the car count and prepared the data and liz bringing so from sfmta and the enforcement manager for the sf street division i want to recognize sf pd will be here to answer questions maybe momentary about the pilot and the partnering with the sfmta so unless there's more comments i'll open up for sfmta for presentation. >> thank you for c

possibilities where expenses occur but importing and exporting nothing two specific a question why is it sfmta duplicating a lot of the expenditures from prop a in a separate bonds passage adding another $89 million on the backs of taxpayers i have appeared before this board on you numerous occasions in opposition to the central subway, however, in general, i rely on muni for transportation within the city and look forward to it being a serviceable system in recent conversations with director reiskin the director of mta i asked why prop a doesn't talk about the expenditures he said the lawyers wrote me it that way prop a will not insure the money will be used for safer streets as director reiskin pointed out in defense of prop a it is only a fraction of the 5 hundred million will be used for the purposes this is an insult to taxpayers and muni riders i hope this proposition fails in its place i hope a new proposition will be put. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> mr. wong. >> howard wong with save muni the bond i guess the public doesn't realize that the mta issued so m

a in san francisco the firm has worked with the sfmta also the on board demographics the neflg survey they've conducted research for bart and sfo and other regional agencies they're very versed in the area i'm going to ask john to come up and present the survey and take you through the presentation we'll take questions afterward thank you. >> thank you candice. >> thank you members of the board i'm going to present key finding is from study as candice mentioned before we do that i want to can i talk to this one. >> can he switch mike's or need to use this one. >> okay are you able to view the slides? their coming up >> oh, there you go. >> give us a little bit of background this study was a telephone interview conducted in february of 2014 we conducted 6 hundred and 20 telephone interviews among current adult residents in san francisco that used muni in the last 6 months okay. so this is the way the study is done it's a trend that's been done conducted among the riders the study used cell phone numbers as well as listed numbers to make our calls margin of error on the study plus or mi

but then given to consultant that will be managed by the sfmta and the planning department >> okay. thank you. >> and i wanted to emphasize i think it's great that vial groups can give inputs to paul the project you said he's the project manager forbid the sfmta. >> that's correct. >> but thank you so much four responding. >> i want to reiterate this is taking a look at under the hood and all the analysis of this project meets all the other options that could be on the table for rail bused will be studied in the real capacity study. >> if there are no questions i don't think it's necessary for ms. bringing son to respond to the issue it's coming up later so colleagues we've heard public comment can we have a motion by supervisor kim. >> i'm sorry we're still on item 4 so my question is on the bike lane allocation. there's a definition in the packet, however, this only comes up because we had the fatality on king street last year. i notice that's our first bicyclist fatality and a lot of the discussion is around where the fact she was struck by the truck. i can't remember the interse

on the next slide shows the capital budget and the capital budget is a five year budget as sfmta. the total budget for the current five year period is 2.6 billion. of that 35. 7 million or 1.39% is allocated to the bicycle mode and this chart shows the distribution of the budget by mode. it does include a big chunk in transit because central subway project is included in there the number is larger than usual but if you back that out the majority is still on the transit side. in terms of bicycle spending in other cities and you provided some of the summary numbers on that supervisor mar. here's the table showing some of those comparisons. because of the difficult of getting budget information that's truly comparable to what we have for san francisco we used a per capita measure so we used expenditures from the other cities on their capital improvement per year and projects and compared it to the population so we could get a common denominator for all of the cities we're comparing. mostly we looked at u.s. cities but we have amsterdam and one of the leaders and copenhagen in bicycle

when i asked what sfmta was doing, that was the response. but i think what you are saying is, no, this is the basket what we would be doing. what is sfmta doing? >> that has not been --. >> has it even been broached. it doesn't sound like kirsten even knows there's supposed to be beautification on the site. >> we can talk about oots things but nothing has been penciled into the mou that says this is specifically what's going to be done. but it's not going to be ignored. >> if we were to approve the extension i would want to, i think, see, have you or someone else come back and talk about specifically what will be done to, pursuant to what looks like requirements here and maybe not but that creates a bigger issue to beautify or at least upgrade that particular site. you know, looking at the pictures now it looks pretty dismal. i read it too that something was going to be done be it greening along the sidewalk, putting up trees or at least do something so you are not looking at a maintenance shop there. >> we will --. >> but not with the south

who is - how are you planning to spend it. >> the study is led by sfmta we have the project manager and some of the work will be sent out to other agencies so some of the economic development work b will be sent out to other departments we have traffic forecasting models and the ridership of this extension and doing the back of the envelope for the competitive rating will be done at the mta itself all 3 agencies will be reviewing each others work for the construction ability and for the economic condition analysis. >> so the hundred dollars 73 thousand how is it broke down. >> between the two agencies i don't know but there will be $50,000 for a consultant and $30,000 for the impounded to do the economic analysis and my apologizes i don't have the entire packet. >> how are you selecting compounds? due to the timing of the study and the small nature of the task orders we're going to use the transportation authorities tool which have gone through the procurement process already >> another question in terms of if there are specific items or options that members of the contingent want the a

supervisors and the transportation authority board, that jointly funded a performance audit of the sfmta and it was focused on the larger capitol events and the muni side of the transit and vehicle facilities and guide ways with the purpose of trying to identify the areas where they could improve the project delivery and transparency and so forth. and that, audit, was completed and presented to the board in 2011 in like both audited had a list of recommendations that were reviewed by the sfmta and provided an update and this is a progress report that commissioner campos has asked for and i will ask miss harris who is the director of the capitol programs and construction at sfmta to give the presentation and i will say that many of the things that he will talk about, also, benefit the small projects and some of these are highlighted by the director at the vision zero meeting last week and a special thank you to patricia who is chairing the task force and alicia who made the time to meet with us during the difficult periods last week. >> thank you. >> thank you, for being here. >> thank yo

we're elevated the project opposed by sfmta. it's up to the project sponsor to define what the project entails we then review that and the approving body approves the body as going through the public review >> there's 2 hundred stops proposed correct? >> no specific stops are proposed under the pilot. >> oh, okay. are are there stops that are currently not being used for they're not shuttles but could actually be new stops under the pilot. >> we have no basis for this assumption and that gets to the issue at hand the reasons that mta is undertaking those they have no certainly or regulate what stops are being used by shuttles. >> it that possible that the pilot will - >> i can't answer that question. >> let me ask the mta is it possible director reiskin that in fact the two hundred stops your using there will be new stops currently not being used by shuttles. >> good evening mr. president, and members of the board through the chair supervisor campos. yeah, it's our intent to elevate the potential stop locations within the 2 hund

must act to make the streets safe and her to ask our drivers to slow down i appreciate the work of the sfmta the police department and the department of public health and other agencies supporting the city's vision zero team, around town reminding everyone that every intersection is a potential pedestrian crossing route, and enforcement is set up for the drivers, be aware of this. >> we have seen the rise in capitol projects but it is clear that we need a increase in our pedestrian crossing facilities. and dedicated by the infrastructure and the traffic, signal equipment and other basic investments. with the support of our (inaudible) i hope to see acceleration of the project and pledge this body's support in making that happen and i also want to thank, members of this body for their work in their district and helping them move the deal forward. and on the lighter note and related note, i have the pleasure this weekend of joining with many community members and organizations on the great bike ride to the streets of the seasons with the former mayor of colombia and (inaudible) a passionate ad

and the majority of the cost fall into four projects either sfmta communication system computer aided dispatch replacement the transbay transit center downtown estimation and the parkway. we're working on maintenance improvements and pedestrian and bicycle projects the personnel costs the salaries for the 33 positions at the transportation authority. in terms of salaries there's no change from the previous years we have a small increase to offset the medical premiums that's enabling that we anticipate in the next year. in terms of non-personnel expenditures that the 1.4 percent we have per cost for our audits and rent and office supplies nothing administration related this is our enterprise planning implementation of the be accounting system. in addition to rent that we are anticipating increase in amazes of rent due to the fact we're not longer subsidized for rent this information item we have a 6.7 percent administration costs limitation to the transportation authorities administration funds because of the e rp we have looking at to increase that to 8.4 percent and late item is the

i have two meetings one with the department of justice to investigate the business practices of the sfmta second, i have another appointment at one be federal transit commission in washington, d.c. to talk about the working conditions that the transit has another thing in 2007 there was a initiative passed prop a that gave him the city this board power to float bonds revenue bonds now there is another initiative on the ballot prop a that was supposed to be approved in november that will end up costa mesa the homeowners and taxpayers of the city and county of san francisco a billion dollars now we need to get wise about pitting those bond measures on the ballot until there is a criminal investigation on how the mta g does business practices it shouldn't approve nothing until that time comes third let's talk about the workplace bullying at the divisions you've got those superintendents playing super man trumpeting up charges and trumpeting up things at will and the last speaker card. >> howard with save muni the official no on prop a opponent and the pamphlet handbook we oppose it because w

>> it is -- i believe the statute does say subject to sfmta approval. when they transfer it's not that they just go somewhere and it's done. they have to submit information to us and we obtain information from the other company on how it's going to be operating, things of that sort, so we gather all of that material and base the decision on that. >> it seemed like she based it on a legal standard that certain things were required for refusal of a transfer. >> attorneys, help me out. i think in the code it may specifically mention administrative probation 'cause that's an absolute in terms of if you're a company -- if the accepting company is on administrative probation then it absolutely cannot go to that company so in terms of that standard yeah, there is an absolute there. now, admittedly it's a bit of a low standard. we have to make sure we have all the information necessary to ensure proper compliance when your vehicle goes to another company, which includes insurance, operational program and vehicles. we have to know as well the vehicle that's goin

. >> i'm peter i've severed on the cac for 6 years and a transportation planner 3 years with the sfmta before any retirement and i've lived in san francisco for 35 years and i'm usually on my bicyclist or muni everyday for transportation. and i'm an active member of spur the sierra club and other associations and the commonwealth club in addition, i have a new qualification i'll be a senior citizen in two months. my optimistic on the cac is helping san francisco continue to allocate the square transportation modes and strife for neighborhood equality to provide streets that are safe for all users of ail ages and including pedestrians and motorists and to promote safety for bicyclists and others. i'll continue to be an effective member of the cac and if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them if you have any >> my understanding is the supervisor from 8th district is approving of you're ready service. >> anyone else who wants to speak that's a candidate for any positions. i know there's a district 7 vacancy but it looks like there's no one here for that vacancy so one any pu

as sfmta's own analysis shows. we urge you to uphold this exemption and let muni use the money to provide more and better service to more people. it is the right thing to do for the city. the environment [speaker not understood] right thing under the law. this is precisely what c-e-q-a was designed for. on the last note, i've spoken to my attorney and we specifically spoke about the free muni for youth issue. some [speaker not understood] support that. there are many other ways to provide affordable transportation and he described to me many other exemptions they could have been using, including negative declaration. so, we do not think that this issue would apply to those actions. thank you. >> colleagues, any questions to the appellants? all right. at this time why don't we hear from members of the public that support the appellants. you have up to two minutes each. please step up. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm peter straus and i'm here with the transit riders union. i think supervisor wiener raised a numb

secretary of transportation, cox and he came to announce the 100 million letters of grant of which sfmta was awarded $9 million to expand the muni bus fleet. this will pay for 12 motor coaches adding capacity to routes, such as the bay shore and the 38 x, geary (inaudible) as part of the moving forward project and so congratulations sfmta and we can't, we can't get the buses soon enough and i know that there is quite a bit of demand, seeking more capacity on those lines, in parallel, a $13 million prop k grant is at work to support sfmta in conducting additional planning and design of the routes and so we are plowseded to partner with sfmta. he's visionary leader and accomplished a tremendous amount and he inspired and excited and challenged us on many fronts and we hope to live up to the award that they need to do the transport and policy in 2012, and we received the 50 sustain able transportation award i want to thank you for joining us on the bike tour and the mission streets event and also saw commissioner chiu and on monday, commissioner mar led a tour from the geary and the outer r
