Youre not currently operating it. No. The license is probably the abc license from theyre slow. It said in the path a poe extended hours is there a reason. The plan it be more of a restaurant and club not a bar. They dont intend on operating too late. I think the Food Services are what 9. Great. Other questions commissioners yeah, thats the past. It is a limited live permit. This is for a poe. Oh, a poe. It is location had a poe for a while. Can i ask a question. Sure. I know that is super out of the ordinary i wonder if you over the years and there were problems across the street the parking area more than anything else that stuck in my mind from a stand point a problem and im just completely inappropriate to be asking us maybe i can ask you to have someone ask. Shes talking about the cbs that was a lot of brawls the heights was closed at at least 6 years ago but the memory lane was on it was quite a crazy venue. So youre not doing to be like that. Not more questions so open up for police statements all right. Known other there for Public Comment i assume no Public CommentPublic Comment is closed. Commissioners someone have a motion. Move approval with the condition. So move forward to approve with condition. The police condition as stated. No party buses great. What it says in there it says recommended the above complanltd cant accept the buses can we stipulate they cant. Again, i mean if so is enforceable i feel like we can do our best to keep the compliance with the conditions like that it you know can be i dont know given more explanation a certain type of a party bus is a big term your discussing people come do venues in all kinds of. Limb designs and Something Like that if youre trying to eliminate you might want to give us more subscription what you you mean by the party bus we think we may know what were talking about we may or may not. How about an occupancy. Sounds like not a welldefined to be enforceable one would be off i recommend we leave off the condition as enforceable and ask the staff to or have a more in depth conversation. There is a routine you know and not really a beer and wine license. Yeah. Those are unusual. It is a recommended kind of leaves the door open a little bit but you know, i think that is to do all that. Can i ask a question during my time on the commission ive not seen a police recommendation is that commonly. It used to be very common because the use felt that kind of transportation trickling on broadway was you know probably i dont know now two weeks ago and it was a common way to bring patience from outside of the city primary into the city because of a variety of designations ive seen less and less and less of that thirdworld country ive seen it in conditions it is a tough one to manage 55 an entertainment permit. It was crazy with broadway with the parties buses thats why the district captain did was went around to the bars and told him he would appreciate if they didnt accept parties buses it cleaned up and alleviated the problems but i agree with the way the venue is changing from a club type with the beer and wine it is not necessary for this permit. All right. So a motion unless you want to change our motion. My motion is that we approve this permit but leave off the police recommendation regarding party buses. With the party with the Good Neighbor policies got it. Ill second. All right. On that motion for the kitchen with the Good Neighbor policy commissioner frost commissioner perez commissioner lee commissioner caminong commissioner thomas and president tan that item passes good luck are redeal with the bay area opera houses. We remember going to but the applicant emails the middle of the last of the permit saying they completely forth i ask the commission to continue those to the next meeting can i get a motion. I make a motion to continue the opera house to the next meeting. Second. All right. Any Public Comment no commissioner frost commissioner lee commissioner perez commissioner caminong commissioner thomas president tan. That item passes next thing on the agenda is consent calendar so this is a newer item for us i believe we continued it from the last merging in order to have more information i did include in our pages commissioners just the project sponsor form a nice review the project and their outreach a map so as you can see where they are and then i think i include a condition as well i sent to the Planning Department after the meeting and in some of the cases we needed to move those along they were not going to make if in time in theory they will come faster before i sent the conditions as you can see i dont know if youre seeing them an email format i used to refer to the conditions the generic set of conditions and it was in your package you see the general conditions as well as the conditions that the rdr committee Automobile Accident all see that thats what the work the competent is doing and anyone has net yet to come to the meeting theyre important and were Getting Better at them this is front of the you as consent the 3 were heard i guess in february. Yeah. As. These are once a month ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. But this is calendared as one vote. Issue. Anyone want to make a motion to approve the consent items. Ill make the motion to approve the consent items. Second. Second. Any further questions all right. Any Public Comment . Can i take same house, same call . Yes. You can. Everybody is nodding they are heads commission comments or questions. Just one thing weve talked about issuing a citation to the armory i think what well, i feel more comfortable as directing the inspectors to do an investigation and open it up rather than telling you to cite them we dont know everyone they got up here and said that but still direct you to do an investigation.

We can continue until we achieve a quorum. Lets go to item 4 item 4, state and federal update were we going to item 3 . That is part the consent calendar. Okay. Good morning. My way of introduction if you havent seen me before i am mark watts and the representative in sacramento. Ia notice on the matrix there is a lot of temporary bills here. This is the time of year where bills that fail passage in the house of origin for one reason for or another are swept away so we recommend a host of bills to be deleted from the matrix because they exceeded the year deadline or vetoed or chapter. You will see next muchckt a whole new slate of legislation but today i have 5 bills. The staff is recommending a support position and what is customarily done if it is okay to proceed is tell the bill number and matrix page it is on in case you want to take a look at it and cover it briefly and move on so if that is acceptable ill proceed. The first measure is ab 1591, this is one of 3 major transportation finance proposals. This one was introduced in 2016 and it generate 7. 3 billion dollars a year annually, the largest by far of the 3 proposals that are circulating. It does in addition to raises gas tax and diesel fuel tax and registration fees also has significant commitment of cap and trade for transit projects that are eligible for cap and trade revenues. That is on page 18. Of your matrix. The funding is roughly split 50 50. The tax rez new funding between state and local government for dispersement for road repairs and rehabilitation. Ill continue on if you would like to come back for questions or can stop at this point you also have it on another page side by side with the governors budget and sbx. 1. 12 so that is a same bill but side by side with a couple others . Correct. The second measure staff is recommended support for is by Assembly Member chiu on page 18 and this deals with bus safety inspections. Established criteria and requires dmv to notify Public Utilities commission can when a Bus Companies first register as vehicle that isnt happening yet so this steps in and takes or addresses that gap in notification. Then if there is a inspection and not a satisfactory rating the bus is prohibited to be used from that company. The next mexer measure is special session bill, abx 1 is our framing for special session. Number 18 is found on page 25 of the matrix. This bill that mr. Linder would return state truck weight fees that are collected and used to offset transportation general Obligation Bond debt service squu mounts to about a billion dollars a year and this is a proposal to return the truck weight fees back to Transportation Services where they have been used for years and years. It has a potential impact on the general funds because the general fund has the obligation to make Debt Service Payments so that is the fiscal and policy tension bringing the revenue back. Commissioner breed, why does itwe are talking about abx 118 correct why does it say recommend support . Is there a bond that is still paid . That was consistent with where similar bills had been put forth last year so they have to find a new source of revenue to pay for bond debt . Correct. Thank you for the clarity. And on page 34 of your of the matrix is sb 12 by senator hill and this is a little more sweeping overhaul of tour bus safety what page again . Page 34. It establishes a higher priority for inspection for new Bus Companies that have a record of ill compliance with prior inspection so it puts the new buses coming into those companies at the top thofe list jujust the Fee Setting Authority to be more in line with the costs i think there is a feeling that fee setting is at a level that is too low so they are taking a attempt at providing more revenue for had Inspection Program to accommodate the higher priority and that is the suggested support. The next measure is the last measure recommended for support consideration is found on page 35. This is by senator beall, sba 24. There are several ongoing cap and trade funded programs that funds rail and transit and other programs so this is the low carbon transportation program. It is essentially Formula Program that distributes cap and trade funding to transit agencies on a basis that already exists in law and used to Fund Projects that are new efforts at reducing Green House Gas. An example would be a new line put into service that didnt exist before but for the availability of the money and so that would be a eligible project. There are wrinkles in how that was drafted originally. Now that we had one year of experience in the field with transit operators dealing with how the money is distributed, the timing and the other small elements of the program are being addressed in in the measure. It isnt in a final form but it is the form of [inaudible] support recommendation is being made. One measure that we are looking at has a history from policies that we took last year on page 17, [inaudible] by Assembly Member gomez. It increases the level of statutory required benefit to disadvantage communities in the Green House Gas reduction cap and trade program from 10 to 25 percent, setting aside whether that move is Something Worthy of support at this point intume, the issue for the bay area is in the first round of distribution of founds that have a requirement for disadvantage communities, there is the feeling in this community is the way the state defined disadvantage communities works to had regions disadvantage so there is a effort led by mtc and others to address that definition and how that all applies, so until that is fixed, the region is typically taken onposed position trying to force a change in how it disadvantage communities is defined, mr. Watts and wpt to give my two cents that if it helps east la and low income communities of color to opposing something that may be helpful for cleaning the air for low income communities even though it isnt helping us is the principle thing to do and prefer if we not take a opposition but be neutral and work towards defining communities of concern or whatever we call them more carefully so that the bay areas low income communities are included. Something like watch express concerns and convey with a letter what we are trying to [inaudible] not a opposition position. Okay. With that i draw my presentation on the new bills to a close. I would just give a highlight that the due date for bills to be introduced is theened of the month so we got a little more than 2 weeks remaining and i think probably several hundred bills will be introduced between now and then so will pull out the ones of highest visibility and priority. Any questions, colleagues . Thank you. So you were going through attachment one afterwards . That is the side by side governors budget ab 91 and sb 1 [inaudible] thank you. Amber [inaudible] transportation authority. This is quickly we were requested to provide this looking at the 3 proposals moving forward. The assembly and senate and governors proposal. As mark watts said the assimbly proposal is far and away the largest of the 3. That 7 billion, the sbx 11 is lailt over 4 billion and the governors budget is right around 3. Page 76. So, the governors budget and the assembly 1591 are the 2 that does commit funding for transit. Sbx 1 is more focused on Highway Maintenance and local streets and roads, so i think at this point we are definitely more supportive of ab 1591 but any new ruv new for transportation would be something we would love to see, so we are working closely at the state level and mtc and the other congestion man jt agencies to advance these hopefully including transit and including walking and biking and think maybe mark can add more about the political context but we get a sense the closer we get to [inaudible] the bigger lift we get to pass to the 2 3 vote. If i can follow up on commissioner breeds commission from earlier regarding the bond debt service. It is my understanding this is debt service on a general Obligation Bond so we ruproved by the public so the the intents is it it paided off by the general fund. This would shift it back and other uses typically dosuch as schools the debt comes out of the general fund the expectation is the payment of the debt Service Comes from the general fund and it is my understanding that there are concerns with our state budget and a possible major deficit and i dont understand why a decision like this would be made if there is no clear understanding of where we are going to be at where w the budget as a whole, so i guess why are we doing this . What is this about . It doesnt seem right to me. I think the intent behind it was to acknowledge the huge p
