0. 47 population growth and this allows for combined growth in the gam limit from the amount that you established last year of 2. 53 billion to a new level of 2. 63 billion for fiscal year 1213. Under the allowable calculations, we have shown that the budget for appropriations that are covered by this is at currently 2. 47 billion, so this reflects a level still 168 million below the gam limit. If the city were to collect so much revenue that it was above the gam limit, the law would require us ...

Provide Exemplary Service, and this is my i dont understand how it works exactly. Is it only ramp taxis that wheelchair users have, or do we have wheelchair users who also use nonramp taxis . Its not saying that they toshiba it has to be that the ramp taxi medallion holder provides a service that has a record of Exemplary Service to passengers who use wheelchairs. So, i dont know if i read that, that it has to be the ramp taxis that have provided service, that the Company Services wheelchair use...

To the point if green cab has no history of ramp medallions, should they still be able they will still be able to participate in the ramp permit program. Well, the way that its written, it is not as much. However, this is a starting point for us. So, what were going to start with is who has a history of that performance. Does it guarantee theyll always do well . So, its part of the use agreement assuming they dont do as well for whatever reason. Wed be pulling those back and redistributing them ...

And its worth noting on that final bullet that the debt service for this contemplated issuance has already been included and approved as part of your 201314 budget. The commercial Paper Program, theres a lot going on on this page. And im not going to try to cover all of this. The take away is what weve already noted.

So, youll be paying on the full 100 from day one, not the 250. So, thats a mechanism of to put authorization in place but reduce costs. The estimated cost for the 100 m...

Wheelchairs. To get there, this is a step toward that and i think not only setting standards, but Holding People accountable to those standards. I personally think 8 trips a month is not very much.

Well come back to this with a lot more information in the future. Okay, on the question . I will give a motion to appro...
