Enactment #:
Title:
Pursuant to Charter Sections 2.103 and 3.100(7), and Administrative Code Section 2.11, the Mayor
shall answer the following eligible questions submitted by the Supervisors representing Districts 6 and
10. The Mayor may address the Board initially for up to five minutes. Discussion shall not exceed
five minutes per Supervisor.
1. What are the current procedures for recouping cost incurred through street closures for major
conventions like Salesforce's Dreamforce and Oracle's Open World? Specifically, what costs are
being reimbursed to the City beyond permitting fees? What costs incurred by Departments other than
Municipal Transportation Agency and San Francisco Police Department is being recouped? In
addition to the required traffic control plan, how else is the City ensuring that major corporations allow
pedestrian and cyclist access in case of street closures? And finally does the City evaluate increased
traffic congestion in downtown areas when permitting street closures on major arterials like Howard
Street between 3rd and 4th Streets and do we evaluate the cost of that congestion and recoup that
cost? (Supervisor Kim, District 6)
2. With the November election behind us, our Federal delegation is contending with potentially
significant budget cuts as a result of sequestration. Have you examined what some of the potential
impacts of these cuts may be to City programs and services, particularly those who serve the poor
and those in federally subsidized housing? (Supervisor Cohen, District 10)
