Coalition for clean air that led to the inclusion of a provision that would apply to zero emission vehicles where they would be charged at the one and a half rate for a period of five years. We did here at the last hearing that something who wanted to that, we want to point out that we want to adjust the tax right. And we could, if the board board wants to we could ask ben to the language in a simile built 1184 provided for that as well. I hope this meets with your approval and most importantly, with the voters approval come november. I am available to answer any questions and if it pleases the chair, i will open it up to Public Comment. Great. Is this the report that we will have. We do need to speak with mr. Egan. We will tell them there is a negative impact. Look forward to his report. You switch presentation. The only thing i neglected to say is half of the funds would go to the San Francisco m. T. A. For improving bus and rail servants frequency and maintaining and expanding the fleet and facility facilities and improving access which could improve reliability through fixing and replacing rails, overhead wires and associated infrastructure and the remaining half would go to the bicycle facility for motorized traffic. Great. Good afternoon. Eddie in from the Controllers Office. This morning our office also lease an Economic Impact report on this site him and i wont repeat what supervisor peskin has said, but i will cover some of the highlights of our report. Starting on page 5, again, this is a tax that will raise the fare and raise the cost of riding in t. N. C. And related private vehicles in the city. In addition to raising revenue, this will likely have some effect on the citys Transportation System and so we have provided a little bit of context to that. The growth in the city that we were just talking about has also had an impact on transportation. We have seen a growth in number of vehicles in the city. A much greater growth in the decline of average speeds. The m. T. A. Has shown the average evening vehicle speed from 2011 to 2017 as a consequence of traffic congestion. The average travel time to work two jobs in San Francisco has increased by 15 in those six years. If you multiply that through by the wages that people make and the time that they spend, the increased times people spend commuting and we valued that commuting time at half of their wage which is a convention among transportation planners, that is a 3 billiondollar drag on the citys economy that we didnt have three years ago. My colleagues in the City Services are in the Controllers Office that do a city survey every two years. Since 2013, theyve asked people about the transportation behavior and this is a chart that is based on data from that survey showing, by different modes of transportation what percentage of San Francisco residents you some three or more times a week and both in 2013 and in 2013. The only wrinkle in this chart is they didnt ask the question about tn sees in 2013. So this is a 2015 figure for tn see. Since 2015, the number of people who use these more than three times a week has doubled. Since 2013, the percentage of people who use every other transportation mode in the city has declined in those six years. The only growth among transportation use in the city has been tn see sins to that since 2013. As supervisor peskin alluded to, the San Francisco county Transportation Authority has studied these in the city indepth, and last year they released a report that statistically analysed different contributions to the citys rising projections and found that over 50 of the growth in the vehicle hours of delay has been caused by tee and c. We are talking about the impact of laying attacks on the businesses and most of that tax will be passed on to consumers. That will hit patterns of spending in the city, and of course, that revenue will go as supervisor peskin said to the San Francisco m. T. A. And the San Francisco c. T. A. At the same time, there is a second thing going on, which is we are taxing a mode of transportation that is shown to create congestion and using that money to fund modes of transportation that could reduce transportation. There is an economic benefit. Unfortunately, the first of phnom Economic Impact, with the data to analyse, and the second we dont. When i say, as we conclude in the report, that this is a mildly negative Economic Impact. That is a result of placing the tax on the consumers and spending the money at the city. It is a fairly small impact of 25 milliondollar reduction to the g. D. P. , which is less then the tax that is raised. We are not able, because of Data Limitations to estimate how responsive t. N. C. Ridership would be to be an increase in fares, although we expected to decline somewhat. The only kind of caveat that we mentioned in our report is about the proposed tax and it also includes Autonomous Vehicles. At present, there are no Autonomous Vehicles doing rides in San Francisco. The case against the tee and c. Is there currently constituted for causing congestion. The evidence that Autonomous Vehicles will cause congestion is somewhat less clear. They miss they wish to make carefully consider whether they want to discourage Autonomous Vehicles in the future. Im happy to take any questions that supervisors have at this time. Thank you. Seeing no questions, we can take Public Comment. Both of you, you have your values mixed up. I will not let you fall for that first of all, your congestion is not caused by the people who are working and transporting people around the city. Your congestion is being caused by the department of transportation and kel tran. You had two bridges that are located sidebyside. You did not have this problem until kel tran and the department of transportation pertaining to this date destroyed the bay bridge. There is nothing wrong with that bridge. You use dynamite, tnt, and explosives to blow up that bridge. You did not have the congestion and after the last explosion that took place to destroy that bridge, theyre putting the tax on the people that are buying gasoline in order to to prepare our roles and maintain our bridges. They just use dynamite to blow up the bay bridge. And about your taxes, your taxi people and the persons that are writing the fares, you do not want to tax them. You want to tax the executives and management that have millions and trillions of dollars in the backs of the drivers of all of the taxi drivers that is working and moving people around. They are not responsible for the congestion. You have a tendency of blaming people who dont have a damn thing to do with the problem and tax them. You need to tax executives whos getting these multibilliondollar bonuses and by the same response the taxi drivers get to sleep in their cars, wait at a location for hours and then turn around and they wont have a place to live, and then they come back to the location [indiscernible] thank you. Thank you, mr. Wright. All right, that is enough. Are there any other members of the public would like to speak on the this item before Public Comment is closed . Not right now, thank you, mr. Wright. Public comment is now closed. All right. Thank you, supervisor peskin. Did you have any final remarks . I do not but i think supervisor mar may. I would like to be added as a cosponsor. Thank you for all of your work on this. Thank you for clearing the way so that we have a relatively clean ballot. I also failed to acknowledge been rosenfield who was remarkably helpful, so i would like to thank the controller as well and then in one last remark relative to zero emission vehicles, mare breed and i have teamed up and supervisor mandelman and i have cosponsored an effort to require electric charging stations not only in city garages and parking lots, but in private ones. I think that will go a long way to in scenting this use in San Francisco. That was on an unrelated note. We dont have any speakers for today from the coalition for clean air, but this is fundamentally a congestion mitigation tax and that is the rest of it. With that, i would be delighted to send this to the full board with recommendation. That is a motion. We will take it without objection. Thank you do we have any more items before us . There are no other items. We are adjourned. Thank you.

Im london breed, mayor of San Francisco, and im so excited to be here today with so many amazing people to talk about something thats so important. Just this past week, we had a big event celebrating a 600 million Affordable Housing bond that will go on the ballot this november. [applause] the hon. London breed and i want to thank the board of supervisors for passing that unanimously, and i want to say that theres something in there for everyone, for our lowincome families and seniors, to our middleincome residents, to our teachers. We know that Housing Affordability is critical to the success of our city, and im grateful to the board of supervisors for passing that ballot measure, and i am hopeful with fingers crossed that the voters will support that, and we are putting forward that housing bond without raising property taxes again, so i just want to say that over and over and over again. [applause] the hon. London breed so today, we have another opportunity. Today, we are signing the legislation to put a 628 million bond on the ballot to help with our emergency facilities all over San Francisco, and we are also doing that without raising property taxes. [applause] the hon. London breed the goal is to put this on the march ballot, and so were going to have to work hard to get voters to approve this one, as well. I just want to start by that i thinking naomi kelly, and the work of the Capital Planning committee. Because of the work of the Capital Planning committee over the years, weve been able to have a very wellthoughtout plan for investing dollars in facilities that the city owns, especially our Public Safety facilities. And in 2010 and in 2014, voters passed these bonds without raising property taxes but with almost 80 of the vote to support rehabilitating facilities all over San Francisco. And just this year, i was really excited about cutting the ribbon on station 5, which is my home station, where i used to get my toys as a firefighter. Our firefighters and our police officers, fixing our buildings and making sure that they can sustain an earthquake is so critical to protecting the lives of our citizens. In fact we are all reminded from last week, the major earthquake that happened in Southern California and the devastating impact it had on that community, we are reminded that we have to be prepared. Its not about if, its about when a disaster strikes. So what are we going to do to make sure that our Public Safety personnel can focus on the work that they need to do to save lives and not necessarily the challenge that exist with the buildings that house them and what could happen to people that we need to shelter in a disaster. Kezar pavilion is not seismically safe. It is one of the facilities that could qualify for additional revenues so that if necessary, we can use that as a shelter facility in case a disaster hits. We have to be thinking ahead in not only repairing the buildings that we know need to be repaired, like park station, which is currently undergoing some renovations like police and fire stations and Public Safety buildings, and 911 buildings where we send our dispatchers, all of these places matter, so when a disaster hits, their only focus is on saving lives of the citizens of San Francisco and not worrying about the condition of their buildings and whether or not theyre in a bad place themselves. So today, we are announcing a 628 million Public Safety beyond for earthquake safety and Emergency Response for the march ballot, as i said. And i am just so excited and so proud of the work that we did collaborating with the board, collaborating with the Capital Planning committee to do this in such an incredibly responsible way. And i just want to thank all of you for being here, joining us, because this is exciting for the future of San Francisco. We know that there are challenges in our city, and we have to make the right kind of investments, not only the issues that we face today but for the issues well face tomorrow. This is just taking one step further to doing just that, and so im really excited to be here with so many incredible people, including the supervisor who represents district 5 [applause] the hon. London breed many of you all know vallie brown. Shes been a Community Advocate in this district for so many years. Not only does she spend time cleaning it up, i mean, personally, literally in the morning, picking up track with her own picker, but she also spends a lot of time fighting for resources in this community. Whether its our Public Safety locations or our community locations, shes been a real advocate, and some of you know the work that was done here, also, the track that was repurposed. And commissioner buell, what was the location over here by the triangle . What is that called . Yeah, with public and private dollars, were transforming this area. And when i served as supervisor, the person who was really actively engaged in working with the community and helping to bring together public and private resources to get these projects done for this community was no other than your current supervisor for district 5, vallie brown. [applause] supervisor brown thank you, mayor breed. Im really happy to be standing here today and to be talking about this. Just a few months ago, we were at fire station 5, brandnew opened. Not only is it absolutely stateoftheart and beautiful, but it is going to be a hub if anything happens in this city. And when i think about we have so many other stations and buildings that we need to have this kind of bond money to be able to fix them up so if we do have earthquakes, if we have things that happen in this city, that were prepared. When we look at i know that mayor breed was talking about kezar and other places, but when we have a major earthquake, and if we think about the earthquake that just happened in Southern California, and how strong it was, but it was in the desert. But think about what if it was here, and what it could have done to our city. I think about that every day, and what i would do if my place was flattened in the city. I probably would be camping in the park unless i had someplace to go that was safe, right . I would. I know the notent rule, but i think they have a cot
