i want to thank any co-sponsors supervisor campos, kim and mar. san francisco is going through growth and literally transforming our skyline. it's clear to many we're not all sharing in the disparity. many people have falling far behind. more than ever city government must provide equity so san francisco's most vulnerable can have access to san francisco's growing prosperity. our local transportation system has fallen behind and our demands are greater than every whether you bike or reside muni from violation valley or get on the t line or stockton or the bus if china town or helpfully watch buses pass you by at presidio or at the outer sunset your deeply invested in our transportation system. there are folks who represent neighborhood far from the downtown core and neighborhoods are foiled with transportation depend ant residents and any decision around the san francisco transportation system decisions that will be on the november 2014 bottle. we want focuses and adequacy and equity of our transportation system. so today, i'm bringing forward thi

. >> miss kim, mr. kim has a question? >> sure. just a question on the escalator, i often hear, by the way, i'm happy to see this as the process of the question. one of the breakdowns is exposure to environment. we need awe ning and i have seen that in a lot of countries they have been covering escalators. i'm wondering if that was part of the discussion as to the long-term of maintenance? >> i will have mta staff. >> yes. jonathan with mta. yes there have been processes about taking care of that issue of having canopies for each of the portals because it does have an impact on the escalate ors. and the mayor is processing that. >> would the timeline be aligned or would the escalator work go in before? >> undetermined at this point. i'm hoping that will continue. but the issues you raise under consideration will certainly help us if resolve improve the life of those assets. are all of these 17 on market street? >> there are some at, we have an overall escalator replacement program. this is the second phase. we do share some of the

er frnts supervisor kim? >> thank you, i wanted to follow up on that question to our city attorney, so is there anything -- you know, i hear director ris k*en's commitment. does this whereas clause bind sfmta to this allocation? i just wanted to clarify that question again? >> deputy city attorney, john gibner, no, it doesn't bind the sfmta to the allocation. the board through this contract approval cannot bind the mta's decision about where to place the meters but the whereas clause reflects the director's statements about the mta's expectations about how these meters will be used. >> okay. that's not very reassuring. i do have a couple of questions for the director though. so, i just wanted to clarify again, 25 thousand meters is the number of meters we currently have in the city today? >> yeah, i don't know the exact number, it's roughly 25 thousand and that's the base contract. >> and when you said to supervisor cohen that this 5 thousand allotment would allow us to make -- to address small meters request

. >> supervisor kim. i think that dwp needs to do 80 a better job of the basis in which you can appeal the waiver fees is incredibly important. so if a person asks for a reduction sending people to the board of supervisors is irresponsible. you have to make an appeal to the board of supervisors or you're wasting everyone's time the board of supervisors they believe they can make an appeal on their low income nodes. so the answer shouldn't be mingle someone asks about this issue it's dwps responsibility to recommend the option. we should be clear about what the other options are list in the memo. all the homeownership's don't need to pay the conversion fee. you can ask for a delay in paying our fees until the map approval occurs. they should with in one waiver. there should be a better process. this is incredibly frustrating to see people confused come on to the board >> supervisor campos. >> i want to i'll to the lady the appellant because i don't know that i know this should not are been handled this way
