Side of that street, that were put in a couple years ago to clear obstructions coming up. You d dont have any on the eastside. Now that you have pedestrians, children, they think its top sign theyll run out and a bike will jam into them and something will happen. But not just a red zone up there. Not just a 10foot red zone. You need a toll way with red zone. As you did two blocks away at vienna and avalon, and because as it is right now, you already got that red zone and every day, in fact today coming to this meeting, in broad daylight there was a guy parked across the red zone and into the handicapped zone. Your meter maids dont know its dangerous because they dont enforce it unless someone calls and we dont call. So thats why its a dangerous intersection. Thank you, very much. Thank you. Next speaker please. Thank you. I am the name of the god. We have been seeing in this city of San Francisco that drivers are suffering very badly. They dont make more than 10 an hour. It has been hurting them very bad. Through the sfmta and s. F. O. These people have caused troubles for all the drivers. Very good drivers. Theyre very nice people. They have a clean heart. I have brought this issue to the new proposal for 7 million. That 4. 7 million is good because i fight for it and i got it so that goes to all the drivers. That is very good. That is the point which i was trying. Now we got it. That money goes to all the drivers. Thats nice. The new proposal im giving to you guys, that 4. 7 million should be given to the driver in a manner for the business, not to put the money i put in their pocket tomorrow they go buy chocolate and that money is finished. Thats not a good way. My father is in iran and i have been working his shop until i finish mien inger ook degree. This is not a business to give the money to them and say go buy chocolate and tomorrow do 4. 7 million is gone. The right way is to give the money to the taxi drivers and let them borrow 12,500 and return it back in four months. After four months, they return the money and the money is still there. So they can have their own car, they can buy their own car and their own insurance, and they can buy every other thing which is needed as as independent. So that is where every cab driver making over 1,000 on us every single month so we escape giving money to the cab company anymore. We dont want the cab company in this city anymore because they are making more than 1,000 on us. Thank you. Thank you very much for your time. Tarik mabude. Good afternoon, directors. Taxi driver. So taxi medallion was sold and they came back to the federal credit union. More are still on the way every month, 10 or 12 medallion is because theyre not refinancing anymore. Similar to that, s medallion issued to the drivers with 30 years working drivers, and sfmt started taking back the medallions, theyre collected half of them back and the remaining will be back to sfmta. That is creating a crunch of the medallion in the market and these drivers will be forced to pay 100 get fees to the Cab Companies to drive their cars. And just make 100, 40, 30 a day. That is causing a lot of families in extreme troubles so you should look into that s. Medallion with 30yearold drivers although its free but you want to make money. And sfmta is throwing out their 8,000 cities medallion for 700 a month. That is unfair. That game of collecting money for user medallion should go away and there should be free medallion back into the system for the future. But history now on forever. Must only new taxi stand on the taxi stand must go and half taxi when the sign is and behind than is all uber and lift signs. So we have no parking there and location where the public is coming out, 9 9 public is coming out and our parking is on the third street side so weve got zero customers at the conventions. Thank you. Next speaker please. Daniel followed by mark gre grewburg. Hello. Im daniel and im a San Francisco native. Ive lived in my current apartment for 20 years. I really just want to express outrage, which im not alone in this if you ask within the community, which i have done. You will find that 98 of the people are just fed up with these tech buses and the selling out of our city and the corporatization of what was a beautiful diverse rich city. The destruction of the mission, the increase of gents ra indication, we live in the Mitchell Ice Cream building. The mitchells have expressed over and over you are damage their business. Theyve been there since the 50s, you are showing great disrespect. You put a bus stop that has 61 buses smoking into my window every morning. We cant stand it. Our neighbors cant stand it. Our neighbors had to put up a fence so you cannot enjoy the only private accessible garden in the whole city pretty much. We used to all enjoy. That people got their ice scream and enjoy the garden. Cant anymore. He cant rent his apartments because the buss are shaking his building. We have disabled people there. We have elderly there. This is a neighborhood. Were sick and tired of you selling out our public roads for private corporate gain and this is a feeling that is reiterated by everyone ive spoken with in the community. I sat down withal, and francesca, they accepted my offer to have a peaceful cup of coffee. Jeff sheehy is nowhere to be found. They broke up the meeting into two things. Things they cannot do and will not do. Id like you to do something. We have a situation theres that is intenable, i cannot live in my apartment anymore. Its awful. And you are just going to have to make a change. With brokenheart sf. Com were looking for a sub system and encourage these young 23yearolds to ride their bikes, have the Companies Pay into our public system, pay into electric bicycles, lick means the transportation and get them out from our front doors because we cannot stand it anymore. No joke. Thank you. Next speaker. Mark grewburg and he is the last person who turned in a speak are card under this topic. Thank you, again. I just wanted to continue and finish some remarks i was making under the directors report. This is with infrastructure with the condition of the streets. Ive been driving a cab here in San Francisco now for 35 years and i have never seen the streets of this city in worse shape. It is simply awful. Im not only talking about those places like vanness lets say where you have a huge construction project that maybe some of that is to be expected. Its all over the city. I know this is not your direct responsibility, but it certainly is something that you must be concerned about because muni obvious obviously uses these streets and from the citys point of you, this may be categorized under the idea of the third maintenance but its continue the third maintenance for a can be driver thats seeing their cab shot to pieces because they have to go over these roads and these bumps and these pot holes every single day. It must be occurring with muni also. And with reference to what the last speaker just said, large vehicles such as muni bus and such as google buses we know have a di disproportionate effet on the streets, on the condition of the streets. On the wear and tear on the roadways. I would question whether the city is getting their moneys worth from these fees these companies are paying on these google buses owing not only to the other kinds of disruptions that theyre causing, but also to the wear and tearing on the streets. Thank you. Thats the last person. Anymore Public Comment on the directors report. Public comment is closed. Well move on. You are moving to your consent calender these are routine unless a member of the public or a member of the board wishes to have an item severed and surrendered separately you have received a request item 10. 5 regarding the mileage limit of next severed from your consent calender but no other item has been severed. Ok. So do i have a motion could approve consent calender minus 10point a. Second. All in favor aye. Opposed. Hearing none. The consent calender 10. 5 is passed and lets hear from the public. 10. 5 amended transportation Code Division to extend the mileage limit of vehicles use is taxis from 375,000 miles to 425,000 miles. One member of the public has asked this be severed. Tarik mamood. Good afternoon, to increase the mileage to 425,000. It used to be 300,000 a long time ago. In yellow cab 500 cab company, there were on average, 200 to 220,000 when the cab will be stopped that moved into a spare by time it hit 250,000, cab will be abolished and not reach 300,000 miles, to keep it good quality of this cost. Then the mileage was increased and now its 375,000, which mr. Malcolm heinicke last time said it should be increased to 400,000. That is 100 wrong. First of all, 2,000 cabs moving in the city out of 2,000 cabs there are 300 cabs sitting in yellow right now, which are already abolished and the name and numbers taken out. Theyre hardly 250,000 miles. So i like to say the same issues. People dont want to drive a car, which is more than 300,000 miles and the roads of San Francisco especially terrible. So based on that, going to 425, why . The person who has been 100 get fees is still paying 100 get fees and big Cab Companies. What is not much used car the wrong idea. The thing is, when one cab is taken out by one driver today, the next day another driver, the next day another driver, it is the same cab up to 300,000 miles goes to the 10 different hand, maybe not double but still going to different hand. 425 will be a disastrously bad car on the road for public and for the driver to pay 100. He should be paying 60, 70 and its ok, not otherwise. Mark grewburg. Yes, mark in support of the change to 425,000 miles. Its true that the mileage has been increased over the years and there has not been any obvious change or difference or deterioration in the safety of vehicles and the public. And the fact there needs to be some limited granted. A well maintained vehicle will absorb far more miles than a poorly maintained vehicle will and maintenance is done by Cab Companies on a regular basis because this is the basis of the business. Keeping vehicles in Good Condition and keeping them on the street and keeping them on safe condition is the business they are in and therefore Cab Companies are attentive to this. We have hundreds upon hundreds of cabs owned and operated by individual drivers and this increase in the mileage will give them, maybe another six months of use out of this vehicle, which is supremely important to someone who is barely, if at all, making a living at this point. So i would just urge you to support this. Its a modest increase. Maybe a little over 10 on the mileage. This is something that is going to be helpful to both individual cab drivers who own their own cabs and to Taxi Companies. So please support it. Thank you. Thank you mr. Grewburg. Do i have any questions or a motion to approve 10. 5 . Im just going to say im supportive of this motion. I would just say that i think the bigger thing from a customer standpoint is how the interior of the cab appears. I think that the streets are bumpy and you have the same problem if you are in a car or on a bus in that regard, but i think the biggest difference is just because it has 400,000 miles, doesnt mean it has to look that way on the inside. Thats one the reasons that people often make other choices about how they ride. So just want to say i support this, move it forward but also say that to the Taxi Companies or to the drivers, keep your interior cab nice if you want people to not know your car has been on the road for 400,000 miles. Thank you. Good point. Do i have a second. And all in favor. Aye. Opposed hearing number item 10. 5 is approved. I want to know in the consent calender, 10. 6, there may have been people who chose not to speak. This was a manning the Companies Code regarding residential parking issued educational institutions. This came up during the discussion around the extension of the r. P. P. Zones in Bernal Heights last meeting, the meeting before. It was a particular request of vicechair heinicke we make those r. P. P. S available to the educational institutions. I know he is not here to call it out so ill just say that that was passed. Is there anybody planning on speaking in favor of that . No. Someone there. Thank you, very much. Public comment was closed because that was on the consent calender just wanted to call it out to everybody. Now consent calender is complete. Well move on to regular. Thank you, madam chair, item 11 presentation regarding the fiscal please stanphysical. Some Good Progress in terms of street safety. Particularly because your adoption of vision zero in 2014 and that is obviously something we want to continue to be a trend so we can get to zero by 2024. Muni service is at its highest levels ever. 70 is not where we strive to be but it is the best weve has since the agency was created and thats a good trend which is joined by the fact that we have increasing share of trips taken in San Francisco by sustainable modes of transportation, something that well have to do more of to reasonably accommodate growth coming to the city. And the flipside of all that, is that Greenhouse Gas emissions are dropping in the city. Though the transportations share of the Greenhouse Gas emissions are growing because the buildings have been doing more than their share. Youll note in the upper right, transit is a small part of the pie. So its really the cars and trucks in the city that are among the biggest drivers now of Greenhouse Gas emissions in San Francisco. In terms of the economy, the city continues to grow pretty significantly just in this Strategic Plan cycle. Weve added nearly 50,000 people to the city, and for the near term, the growth is continuing. Were lower now than what economists say is the lowest that we can get. So were essentially at full employment as economists would measure it. And what that means, as the economy grows, we need to attract more people into the city to work because weve run out of people here in the city it do the work. You see the nonresident growth in terms of jobs in San Francisco has been growing over the years, so its more people coming into the city, more people needing to get around the city. And as i reminded you last time, and i think the city economist did as well, we are in coming close to unprecedented length of post recession growth as part of the recovery. I did attend and hear economists speak last week, nobody is currently forecasting recession. Everyone seems to generally think that current conditions, while they wont grow as fast will continue to grow for the next three years, but everyone who all the economist when theyre talking about the region and the state point to this same data point were this is a very long expansion and it cant last forever. So then, bringing this down to our level here at the mta, the big picture of the starting point is that our revenues are flat. Whereas our expenditures are growing, the flat revenues despite the fact that the citys general fund continues to grow and we just got the 6month report numbers last week, that showed additional 13 million in general fund revenue to the mta, beyond what was anticipated, which is good news. Other of our revenue, such as parking revenue and transit revenues are flat at best and well show you that, but meanwhile, our expenditures continue to increase. This is historically where weve been. You can see the growth of the budget. And what we need is for the blue line to stay above the red line, the initial protections for the next two years because the revenues are growing not as fast as expenditures, as the blue line is below the red line. Thats the gap we have to close. This just gives you a zoomin on some of those of our own revenue sources. You can see that the fares are down. Thats in part due to the free muni programs that we have authorized over the years. Our other parking related and other fees are largely flat at best. So when you put that together, our projections for the next two years on the revenue expenditure side we were initially looking at 43 million twoyear shortfall we needed to close. This is just a little context of kind of where that baseline comes from. On the revenue side, it assumes all of the indexing of the fees, fares and fines per board policy. There are some funds that come in that flow through the operating budget for capital use such as prop b, the population baseline as well as Development Fees and state capandtrade funds. We are assuming that the sb1 funds that i referred to earlier will be there. We have made other assumptions you can see here in terms of the revenue side, including the continuation of free fares. Were going to walk through fare proposals. One thing that i dont think i mentioned last time and were not currently showing, we have received requests from a couple of members of the board of education that we consider expanding our free muni for Youth Program to all youth, not just low or moderate income youth. What this budget assumes is continuation of the free budget fare programs as they are. What really drives the expenditure numbers are that we have already negotiated 3 increase in the first fiscal year of this 2year budget. And were using 3. 4 number in the second year based on numbers that we get from the controllers office. So those, as well as the pension numbers and the other indexing that lays on top of that for nonpersonal services is what drives our expenditure growth. So since we first developed that 43 million baseline, there have been some adjustments that we have been able to make. One is the general fund baseline. The 9month report i believe will come out in march and we may get further, hopefully further good news from the general fund. But well continue to update the general Fund Projections that we get from the city. But weve been able to do so since we created our first baseline. There are some changes, such as the change we made with the stockton garage that impacts the revenue and the expenditure side. And there is weve Just Incorporated other more current estimates on revenue and expenditures than we had when we first created the baseline. Thats brought the projected shortfall down
