Operators. Is that another flaw in the mtcs formula . Or. Yeah. Evaluation. It is actually identified as you go back to the sight here as a high, performer. Oh, gene v, so right now, we are planning what is going to be much more dense, population. And we are not necessarily by having a huge impact on the current rider ship but we know that it is going to be dramatic in the future, and the mtcs evaluation, and capture what is going to be done in the future . Rather thatn what the current positions are . They do look at the benefit that is based on projected in the area of 2013, for the area and so it is based on the last times and assumptions which i believe is probably likely to be lower than what were currently anticipated and the issue or one of the issues is that the model issues of a lot of the cost is related to safety improvements and the complete that go along. And so it is a little bit of extra cost that is not reflected in the benefit cost assessments. The other issue with that project is they have bundled it together and a road extension and that is necessary to complete a later phase, and so we are working with them to rephase the project to get the number up above one which is the requirement to pull it off of the low perform s list. It makes the sense and it is connected to part of i dont you are Development Areas that we would want that to be one that was score well and get support and funding. Right. And that is also a reason why they had a compelling care argue. Is that he they recognize the case and even if perhaps it is not the most Cost Effective project on the list. Yeah. So, really our feedback to mtc has been emphasizing what we think that their model is flawed and playing up the performance assessment on the target side, which we perform better. There is one that i wanted to flag. There is one of the target that has come up in conversation. As being some what problematic in hindsight the way that it was set last year and that is the displacement risk target and we have been in the conversation. And especially when i set the target and it is everyone acknowledges that the displacement is a problem and there are risks and you dont want to make investments and they are going to make that worse. However, the what i that it kind of ended up in the evaluation is that they look just at risk and not at what actions at local jurisdictions are taking to combat affordable. And so essentially, San Francisco got dinged across the board for all of our projects and even for Treasure Island that is doing the one for one, replacement and guaranteed right of return for displaced. And so we have been talking and i think that it is counter intuitive and in the communities that are experiencing displacement, when all of them are low, where the region is looking to build. And so we will be working with the commissioners moving forward to identify some other way of measuring displacement pressure and moving toward the solutions to adjust it at the regional level. And it goes into the second part of what i wanted to share with you, is what mta and they have been talking about with respect to the housing action. And because those get into the touching on the displacement problems that the region is facing and so not surprising we are in the housing crisis that the strategies is what we know already is the new housing protective the existing housing on the newer term, it is the most pressing things that is moving forward is the strategy and mtc has found an additional 70 million through the Grant Program that will be provided over the next five years and is putting together a recommendation for how to proceed with and spending that ininvolvement. One of the proposals is the Housing Program and the options that they have put forward as rewarding the jurisdictions that are creating housing. And provided additional funding, that are adapting the policies, and the displacement concerns and perhaps the direct investment either in the one program or some kind of a direct purchase trust funds and for existing low income and Median Income housing. They have come up with some really interesting ideas in the medium to the long term and beefing up the infrastructure and the two options that will require the legislation at the state level that will be a jobs fee across the region and perhaps, entire housing bond across the region. I will come back with more and next month will be talking if we hear what the proposal is for the 72 million in housing funds is, and with the revised list for San Francisco.

President omotalde no, i am very very very excited about the launch of the commission on the environment. Environmental service award. Its a collaboration between the commission and director rafael to engage the community. And to just recognize some of the outstanding work of both individuals and organizations within San Francisco. It really and truly is an opportunity to learn from the work to be inspired by it and to be motivated by a good presentation in the format is a certificate. Based on other successful award programs and a special shout out to the board of supervisors and the commission on the status of women for cooperation and assistance with the launch of this populous program. By fellow commissioners and i are able to nominate an individual guided by the purpose of the commission. And consider what theyve done to help us fill the mission. The city charter says the Commission Shall conduct Public Education and outreach to the community honored by mental issues, including but not limited to, Solid Waste Management and recycling, energy conservation, Natural Resource conservation, environmental inspection, toxics, irving forest three, Natural Resources, Habitat Restoration and hazardous material. The charter gives this commission responsibility for the longterm sustainability of San Francisco. Except for land use. To the extent possible, we plan to nominate both individuals and or organizations that are either reside or work and do business in San Francisco. The idea is to really get people, again, inspire and motivated and really recognize all the wonderful folks out there doing the work to make San Francisco a more environmentally sustainable place. Before i announce the first word i welcome my fellow commissioners or director rafael, to add anything. Thank you. Thank you president omotalde. I like to say there is never a bad time to say thank you and theres so much amazing work going on by residents and nonprofit throughout the city do we thought this was a wonderful way to say thank you and not with a giant award with a competition, but for each of you to put out who you think you would like to say thank you to in a way that expresses not only a personal thanks for the thanks of the commission and that apartment. So, this is the beginning. This is the first one. Things program will take shape as you decide how to give it shape. In the years and months and years to come. So, today is the first and a great launch and on looking for to working with you to see how we grow this and make it our very own program. Thanks. President omotalde so, without further ado other any other comments by my fellow commissioners . Commissioner wald commissioner wald i think this is a Wonderful Program and a wonderful idea and i commend those who think who thought of it out. I do have one suggestion. That is, i read in the accompanying memorandum that there were to be no criteria for selection. I would like to suggest that not at the beginning, but as time goes on, we devote some criteria that would be used to identify appropriate winners of this award. With the notion that those criteria would ensure into the future that the award has value and has meaning. Some of us, and maybe even all of us wont always be here selected to have criteria that would capture what we all think this award should be would be a very useful thing. Going forward. President omotalde thank you commissioner walker and if the comments my fellow commissioners . Hearing none, i just want at i concur with commissioner walker i think as time passes by sometimes the notion of white it was started gets lost and to make sure the integrity of the award and the recognition, i think its a really good idea to think about what you just said. Thank you for bringing that up. President omotalde thank you, commissioners. Any other commissioners . Seeing none, i would like for a phenomenal woman to stand up. Her name is Alice Carruthers. Please do stand up and come to the front. [applause] president omotalde so, i just want to take this opportunity to tell you all a little bit about one of my personal heroes and truly a force within the city and county of San Francisco. Within northern california, within california, within the United States. We need 1 million Alice Carruthers and bulimic just tell you a little bit about her. She is a mentor to countless children will grow up in the southeast neighborhoods of San Francisco. Particularly, to youth in the many projects. From a young age she was extremely good at working with her hands. She worked with word and with metal. She remembers being told by a teacher that she should be a carpenter. Like so many young people, at one point theres twists and my throat and sometimes you dont necessarily follow the right path at the right time, but you know what you learn from that. So, yes, she went on the wrong side for a little bit but she learned from that. She recognized that wasnt the right path in a path that lead to jail or death. She turned her life around and she got her carpentry license. But she didnt stop there. Which for most of these that wouldve been enough to completely turn our lives around, have carpentry license and go do the trades. But she has this call to really help her community and to work with the young people who were in jeopardy of going down that same rocky path. So, she really really started to engage young people around her and mentor them and talk to them and both save them mentally and save them physically what a month ago she rescued a young man was an amber alert for and literally pulled off the freeway to almost certain death. By telling her story and by working with individuals, she really has become a force in a deacon and someone that people in the Community Look to for advice and thoughts and feedback. Then, in 1991, she started out on many farms. Adjacent to the alimony project. As a safe space for kids to learn, to work, and to stay off the streets. She has become a true leader and in a movement and all her work and activism and kerry and dedication because the cleaning work is not always easy work. Definitely should be recognized and im so so honored and humbled, and excited, to recognize your work here today at the environmental commission. So, on behalf of myself, on behalf of my fellow commissioners, and behalf of the department, thank you for all you do for the city and county of San Francisco. The state of california and for the world. Thank you. [applause] testifier im impressed. Thank you very much. Before i say what i have to say, i just want to thank someone who is here today.
