Budget, were projected were projected to receive 3. 8 million. We given that we expect these revenues to be lower, we are conservative in our programming recommendations, only recommending to one fiscal year at this time. And giving First Priority to backfilling the projects that were funded in the prior cycle. So, that program of projects was shown on the prior slide. And also funding the latenight owl service on the 44 and 48 bus lines. Should there be funds left after backfilling any decline in revenues from the prior cycle, our second priority would be to direct any remaining funds to sfmtas Paratransit Program. So t next steps following the board action that we are recommending today would be to submit the priorities to m. T. C. And then return back to the board in the fall with an update on how revenues are looking from this actual program. They could be, you know, half of what are estimated at this point and [inaudible] the spring, around this Time Next Year to recommend options for the fiscal year 2122. And at that point in time well recommend funds for paratransit or to create [inaudible] program once again. And with that, i can take any questions and we also have the m. T. A. s para transit program. Operator now exiting. Available as well. Vo, there any questions for ms. Leforte or Lynette Williams at sfmtas Paratransit Program . See nothing names on the roster, are there any members of the public that would like to testify on this item number 20 . There are no members of the public. All right. And Public Comment is closed. Operator is now exiting. Is there a motion to approve the programming priorities for the aforementioned 3. 8 million approximately operator hillary is now joining. Mandelman . Is there a second . Chair peskin, we can see you. [inaudible]. Seconded by commissioner yee and on that motion made and seconded, a roll call, please. On item 20 [roll call] can you hear me now . Yes. Thank you. [continuing roll call] the item is approved. Thank you. Next item, please. Item 21, allocate 580,000 in propk sales tax funds and 383,776 in propaa vehicle rent separation fee funds with conditions for requests. This is an action item. Thank you. And before we go to ms. Leforte, as with the discussion that we have on item 19 at a high level, i had the same discussion with regard to this item 21 with staff so i think what supervisor safai and others brought up with regard to item 19 is something that you might want to address and recall some of the or im happy to recall some of the questions that i asked in our conversation when i was briefed on this item before you put it on the agenda. So with that, the floor is yours. All right. Let me pull up my brief presentation that im happy to address with additional comments. So well go through the presentation first and then address the comments, although in summary, the comments are the new lens that were looking at projects and funding requests that are pending and that were presenting to the board is to ask the agencies if these projects are still priorities in light of the Current Situation facing the trans operations and facing the capital programs at the different agencies as well as ensuring that there is staff available. And to perform the work and these are being done as essential work program items. This is for the design phase of the second phase of improvement. [announcement in background] or essential construction [inaudible]. Sorry. Could other participants mute their audio, please . Ok. As far as deeming this as an essential construction contract, this is not for construction, this is operator unknown participant is now exiting. This is for the design phase of improvements to position the Capital Projects to compete successfully for discretionary Grant Programs when design is finished and so this request is for 480,000 in sales tax funds and a project segments to be designed are circled in red on your screen and so the recommendations would be to produce a continuous and accessible and safe series of pedestrian pathways in this area that is known as the hairball. It will connect the community and various different parks and transit Regional Transit stops and different hospitals and Education Centers and food markets and so the scope of work includes design for five new concreteraised [inaudible] blocks and bicycle and pedestrian lanes, flashing beak beacons and accessibility improvements. The next request also from the m. T. A. , sfmta is for Bicycle Safety and education and outreach classes and this would find about 45 classes over the course of about 16 months. And the list of classes that are offered are shown on your screen. These classs are offered in english, spanish, chinese and filipino and each year a minimum of two classes are conducted in multiple languages and education and promotional outreach material are also translated into various different languages as well. The current funding that the sfmta has in place for contract with the Bicycle Coalition is right now the classes, several of the classes have been canceled. But they will be rescheduled onces the shelter in place is lifted. There is one class that has been offered online that does not involve the [inaudible] bike instruction. And several of the outreach and other events that have been canceled, i think that the plan would be to continue to do that outreach once the world resumes in some state of normalcy following the covid pandemic shelter in place. So what the impact is having is simply pushing up the schedule of the existing classes rather than resulting in any cost savings for this program. So instead of the contracts for this funding request starting this december would likely start more like in november or december for the next year of the classes. And this next request ms. Leforte, doesnt that ultimately result in a cost savings . I mean, if you delay something and youre pushing something for the next fiscal cycle, doesnt that i mean, by definition mean there is a cost savings . It extends the links of the project as opposed to if it were to end, if we were to say that the rescheduled classes would be reborn by the next phase of funding, then there would be savings. Right. By mean so far and im not taking on this particular contract, but this is just a way for us to view these things. In so far as this is ongoing service, and we Fund Services for periods of time, generally a fiscal year, and the service is not provided to the full extent in one fiscal year. Yes, it pushes it out. But it means that there is a cost savings in that particular fiscal year when the service is not provided. Right . Yes. Youred noing your head. Youre nodding your head. I see you nodding your head. Sorry. I cant see myself. [laughter] as commissioner safai said and we heard from commissioner fewer and others, this is not going going forward, it is not going to be business as usual. Well have like a lot of very hard decisions to make, so its better to make them sooner rather than later for whatever that is worth. But please proceed. And the board will see this next month as well. We have a bunch of requests from public works for their annual programs for curb repair and Tree Planting and equipment and other annual programs where, you know, its a similar situation. What we are seeing is staff at the agency is that sfmta and public works are requesting funds actually earlier than usual, before tend of the fiscal year in order to be able to set up the accounts and the job orders at the agency and funds are available when they do run out for this currently run out and they do start again for the new cycle that there is no gap in service. Theres something anecdotedly that weve been seeing. And the last request is for the safety improvements. And according to m. T. A. , they are still proceeding as if this according to the current schedule in the request materials. This is the second phase of work along this corridor and it has many Transit Service benefits as far as infrastructure for the signals that would be in [inaudible] taking priority to transit. With that, i can take any questions. Ok. Are there any members who have questions on item 21 . Yes, i do. Commissioner yee . Yeah. This is really a quick question. And it involves buying the smallest amount of money dealing with today. But in terms of the bike Safety Education outreach, how many people are they reaching out, the average sizes are classes. Im a little bit technically challenged with having multiple systems up. But in the allocation request materials are evaluation of past classes that have been offered and im just pulling this up on my screen now and so in your packet of materials, lets se see here. The numbers of classes and the numbers of attendees are actually shown in the materials so over the past number of years and they averaged attendees in 2019 over 27 classes and in 2018 it was about 400 over 26 classes. And that was for the adult bike train and then wheels for more of the novice training, there were nine events and there were 307 attendees in 2019. And in 2018, there were 780 attendees. And one thing i would like to say about the classs that have been canceled is that the m. T. A. Is following the Controllers Office guidelines on payment contractors, so interpreted by the city attorney. So sfbc is still being paid at a reduced rate for the classs that have been canceled because of shelter in place. So, that reduced rate is six per class and refund number of hours [inaudible] of the conducting of the class. Thank you. Does that satisfy your question, commissioner yee . Yeah. Certainly for the younger folks, it is like pretty good numbers. It sounds like for the adult classes, there are about 15 in each class. But if that is the norm, im wondering if that is with the [inaudible] better or not. By increasing nose numbers. Without resupporting it. Thank you, commissioner r. There any additional comments or questions from commissioners . Seeing none, is there any Public Comment on this item . Chair, theres no Public Comment. Ok. Then is there a motion to allocate the 580,000 in propk sales tax funds and 384,000 in propaa funds . Mandelman moves. Vice chair mandelman, seconded by [inaudible]. Seconded by walton. On that motion, a roll call, plea. On item 21 [roll call] the item has been approved. [typing] thank you, madame clerk. Colleagues, is there any introduction of new items . Seeing none yes oh. Go ahead. I have something. This is commissioner hani. Sorry. [inaudible] my camera on here. [typing] whoever is timing away, put your phone on mute. Colleagues, ive been working with sfmta and sfmca staff and i want to take a moment to make a formal request here. As many of you know, weve had to make necessary but painful cuts to our m. T. A. Service, our muni service and especially our latenight bart service which has had an impact on our essential workers. Ive heard from folks who work at Homeless Service providers for whom that latenight service is essential for them to get to and from work. Many of them live in the east bay and rely on bart in order to get into work. Obviously right now we need them more than ever. Were asking them to do more. Some of the providers have told me that up to 30 of their staff are liing in the east bay and rely on bart. Uber and lyft and companies y like that have, in some cases, provided free credit. I think it is critical that we have a Public Program in order to support our essential workers right now. Especially those who are providing Services Like at our hotels, where people who are homeless will be staying and people who are working at other Homeless Service providers or hospitals, etc. And they created a Taxi Voucher Program for essential workers that are impacted by the recent cuts. I dont know if staff is aware of this request, but i wanted to put it formally on record. I think this is essential for us to be able to continue Critical Services during this time and that there is adequate transportation in place to do that. Thank you, commissioner. We will have staff respond to that between now and april 28. Commissioner safai . Thank you. Thank you, commissioner haney. On a very similar vein, because of the massive reduction in barts excuse me, in sfmta service citywide, there are certain areas of the city, in my district in particular, lakeview that has been completely cut off from any service in the city. Theres a lot of seniors and a lot of lowincome families and a lot of individuals and we have been in conversations with the sfmta about the Taxi Voucher Program as well. If we could also make that a priority where there are individuals that are just essentially completely cut off from any form of Public Transportation. So id like the t. A. To work with the sfmta dhurg time of reduced service to focus on not just the [inaudible], but pockets of the city that have absolutely no Public Transportation access and youre talking about seniors and disabled individuals that cant get around. This is a Critical Service at this point. Thank you, mr. Chair. Thank you, commissioner safai and i know that our executive director will follow up on both of your requests under introduction of these items. Is there any general Public Comment for the s. F. County Transportation Authority . Yes, chair. We do have two people on the line. Operator thank you, madame clerk. First speaker, please. Operator you have two questions remaining. Welcome, caller. Your two minutes begins now. My name is Francisco Decosta and what i am seeing is that, as has been mentioned in general, some areas my name is Francisco Decosta. And what i wanted to state is, in general, some things have been mentioned about the pandemic and the areas where there are no services. But what i want to mention is that it is really despicable when you see on some of the lines that the buses are jam packed. And i think you supervisors have been i have at least tried to contact yall, but you all should do something about that. We cant [inaudible] innocent people in our muni buses jam packed when we have a pandemic. While the mayor and dr. Grant colfax and some others are talking about this, that and the other. Its the same as the navigation center. So, our board of supervisors that we have elected have to learn to represent us rather than, you know, just talking in generalities. This is a pandemic. And in a pandemic, every life is important. Every life has to be taken care of. So supervisors, dont be talking for the sake of talking. Represent the constituents of San Francisco. Thank you. Next eke spaoer, please. Speaker, please. Operator you have one question remaining. Welcome, caller. Your two minutes begins now. Caller thank you. Supervisors, thank you for the opportunity. Id like to bring to your attention that none of this mornings presentations are on the website and i would like to see all these presentations, including the any presentation for [inaudible] on the consent calendar to be posted as soon as possible. And i would like to remind you of government rule section 54957. 5, subsection b which can requires that all these presentations, if at all possible, should be posted on websites at least 72 hours before these items are heard by the board. Thank you very much. Thank you for that comment, mr. Lebrun and im hereby asking the staff of the sfcta to do that to the fullest of that you are ability. Your comment is very well taken. Are there any other members of the public for Public Comment for the sfcta meeting for today, april 14 . Chair, there are no more comments. Thank you, madame clerk. Thank you, colleagues. First its always the hardest and when they look back they really wont see you, but its the path that youre paving forward for the next one behind you that counts. Hi, my name is jajaida durden and im the acting superintendent for the bureau of forestry and i work for public works operations. And im over the landscaping, the shop and also the arborist crew. And some tree inspectors as well. I have been with the city and county of San Francisco for 17 years. And i was a cement mason, that was my first job. When i got here i thought that it was too easy. So i said one day ill be a supervisor. And when i run this place it will be ran different. And i i didnt think that it wod happen as fast as it did, but it did. And i came in 2002 and became a supervisor in 2006. And six months later i became the permanent supervisor over the shop. With all of those responsibilities and the staff youre also dealing with different attitudes and you have to take off one hat and put on another hat and put on another hat. And shes able shes displayed that she can carry the weight with all of these different hats and still maintain the respect of the director, the Deputy Director and all of the other people that she has to come in contact with. Shes a natural leader. I mean with her staff, her staff thinks highly of her. And the most important thing is when we have things that happen, a lot of emergencies, shes right by me and helps me out every time that i have asked. My inspiration is when i was a young adult was to become a fire woman. Well, i made some wrong decisions and i ended up being incarcerated, starting young and all the way up to an adult. When i was in jail they had a Little Program called Suppers Program and i supers program, and i met strong women in there and they introduced me to construction. I thought that the Fire Department would turn me down because i had a criminal history. So i looked into options of
