Last week, at the december 5th Board Meeting the motion to approve the item did not pass after considerable discussion at the board. The commission generally agrees with the programming of the funds to the street resurfacing but the commissioners couldnt agree on the second part of the recommendation to transfer on the 4 million in prop k funds programmed to street resurfacing to manage lanes environmental phase. The board requested to see more evidence that the managed lanes would improve congestion without negatively impacting freeway corridors or local streets and a more holistic approach to congestion and other areas of concern. In light of the robust discussion, we have advised staff recommendation to only approve the proposed programming of the state funds to street resurfacing projects and this is a request to approve on first read to meet the states timeline of december 15th of when we need to submit the applications to the California Transportation Commission and we would defer action on the Fund Exchange to provide more time for staff to complete planning studies and address commissioners concerns. Theres a list of street resurfacing projects funded by the state funds and a map that you cant see particularly well yes, you can see it. If we were to approve this as revised given the december 15th date, this would be the final approval, not the first read, is that correct . Thats correct. It would be approval on first read. Is there a motion . Made by commissioner farrell, seconded by commissioner tang. Colleagues are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And on the item as revised, same house, same call, the item is finally approved. Next item, please. Clerk item 11, programming 2. 813. 264 to the San FranciscoMunicipal Transportation Agency non infrastructure project, this is an action item. I want to start by briefly thanking colleague commissioner tang and her staff and my staff who listened to i think very sophisticated discussion we had here a number of months ago. I want to thank tilley chang and the ta staff and miss lafour but particularly commissioner tang, she did a lot of the heavy lifting. With that, commissioner tang . Thank you. I echo my thanks to the ta staff and as well amber crab as well. I just encourage our colleagues to look through the packet. There is a revised Organization Chart where you can see the new structure for the program. So we have decided to move everything to fall under the sfcta because i think it will work more well with the schools and needs brought to our attention and so i think all schools will benefit from this change. We have found a way to address this without reducing any of the funding to the nonprofit partner agencies. I think overall the out come was great and i look forward to continuing the discussion another day. Thank you commissioner tang. I neglected to thank the mta and department of Public Health and San FranciscoUnified School District for really coming to quite a number of meetings and being willing albeit with a little reluctance at first, to restructure this.

Org good morning, everybody. Thank you all for being here on this mournful day. As im sure you all know, our may mayor, mayor edwin m. Lee passed awau early this morning at zuckerberg San Francisco general. He was 65 years old. I want to thank dr. Susan orlick who is here with us today and the dedicated professional who is cared for the mayor last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with mayor lees wife anita and his daughters tanya and brianna at this time. When he passed, mayor lee was surrounded by his family, by his friends, and the colleagues who loved him. Ed lee lived a life of service cut far too short, but short far too soon. Like me, ed grew up in Public Housing. The son of working class immigrant immigrants, he developed early on a profound sense of community. A commitment to helping others. His father was a veterans, and his mother a seamstress. They instilled in him a humility and selflest work ethic that he maintained throughout his entire life. The mayors father passed while he was just a teenager, but heart break could not derail him. Ed earned a scholarship from Boden College a prestigious liberal arts college in maine, and after graduating, he relocated to the bay area where, like so many of us, he fell in love with the city that he would call home for the rest of his life. He attended balt law school at the university of californiaberkley and joined the asian law caucus. Ed lee fought against discrimination, working on the front lines to keep tenants from being evicted. He was, from the dawn of his career, an advocate for the powerless and the voice for the overlooked. As a director of the Human Rights Commission and the director of the department of public works and our city administrator and as mayor, we tend to forget, but when mayor lee was apointed in 2011. He face d tremendous challenges in this city. He believed everyone should have an opportunity to have a good job with a good wage. And in San Francisco and he believed everyone should have a secure place to call home which is why one of his first campaigns was for the Housing Trust fund that has invested millions of dollars in rehabilitate i rehabilitating affordable and efforts to rehabilitate and rebuild over 7,000. He always said he didnt want folks like him and me to be known as Public Housing resident, but to be known as san San Francisco residents. And those suffering from Mental Health and substance abuse. And he explored every option and embraced any idea that could help move people off the streets into safe, stable situations. Where they could be on the right path to health and recovery. Mayor lee believed in the power of opportunity. A rebuilt home, a reborn community, could inspire individuals to reach for their dreams just like he had. He believed in the city where a poor kid from Public Housing could become mayor. Ed was not a politician. He did not always deliver the best sound bite or carry the room with unspoken charisma. Flash never mattered to him. Disagreements never deterred him. He was humble and determined no matter the job he held, he was fair and collaborative no matter the heat of the moment. What mattered most to him always was helping his fellow sanfranciscans and occasionally delivering the almost perfectly timed corny joke. Mayor lee endured many tough political battles, but they never they never dimmed his spirit. Opponents may have disagreed with him on policy, but everyone agrees that our mayor was a good man with a good heart. He believed above all else in building bridges and solving problems. Everyone who had the pleasure of working with mayor lee will miss him tremendously. From the members of the board of supervisors who are here with me today to the Community Advocates who worked alongside him, and the San Francisco residents for whom he served with all his might. The flags in our city will fly half mast for the next 30 days. Our First Chinese american mayor, a man who has left an immeasurable legacy for the city and county of San Francisco. And i now must assume the responsibility, and i ask for your patience and i ask for your support. And i ask for your prayers. Our citys values have never been more important, and in the months ahead, lets carry on in mayor lees honor. He has earned our affection because he was one of the sweetest men any of us have ever known. And he will be truly missed. Thank you, all, for being here. And we will have dr. Erlick talk about what happened at the hospital. [please stand by] and we attempted lifesaving measures for several hour. He died at 1 11 on the morning of tuesday, december 12, this morning. We expect the medical examiner to determine the cause of death and his family has asked that we share no further medical can information at this time because of state and federal privacy laws. We need to respect their wishes. Thank you very much. Thank you, doctor. And i want to thank all of the department heads, all the city staff, all the commissioners and elected officials, our Lieutenant Governor and former ma mayor, Gavin Newsome is here, thank you all for being here to bring the city together at this trying time. Id like to ask our City Attorney to talk specifically about what comes next. As you all know, i am currently the acting mayor and will assume that responsibility and our City Attorney can provide further details as to what will happen in the months to come. Thank you, ma dad mayor. I would first like to echo the sentiments and the condolences of mayor breed and dr. Ehrluches and the entire community about the profound sense of loss that all of us feel on the passing of mayor lee and id like to offer my condolences spufically to his wife and family and just to let them all know that i hope i know that the entire city family will be there for them as they go through this difficult time. You heard dr. Ehrlich talk about mayor lee passing at 1 11 this morning. Under charter section 13. 101. 5b, at that time board president london breed assumed the duties of acting mayor. She has all the powers and responsibilities that come with the office. And she will have all of those duties until such time as the board of supervisors votes on a successor, should they choose to do so. Although they are not required to do so. In any event, there will be an election june 5, 2018 where the next mayor will be chosen to fulfill the unexpired term of mayor lee and that term will end on january 8. 2020. That is a very broad overview of where we are now. Mayor breed has all the powers and responsibilities and duties of acting mayor. By virtue of her position as board president. And what occurs over the course of the next several months will be derped by what actions, if any, the board of supervisors chooses to take. With that, id be happy to take any questions that anybody has about the process. Reporter [inaudible] will the board of supervisors voting on this matter today . No, they will not be. Reporter what was the question . Will the board of supervisors be voting on this matter today and the answer is no. Reporter is there a timeframe for the board to vote on an interim mayor . The board does not have to talk any action and there is not a timeline. And for that entire period of time, should they choose not to take any action, mayor breed will be both the acting mayor and the president of the board of supervisors. She has her position as acting mayor by virtue of her position as president of the board. Reporter so, just to clarify, there will be no additional [inaudible] appointed . There will not be. Mayor breed has both positions. She still continues to have her board of supervisors position and presi
