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 from Supervisor representing Districts 10. The
Mayor may address the Board initially for up to five minutes. Discussion shall not exceed five minutes
per Supervisor.
1. When the City adopted the Eastern Neighborhoods Plan we were aware a significant funding gap
existed for the promised neighborhood infrastructure improvements. As development is moving
forward at a fast pace, the infrastructure needed to support this growth has significantly lagged.
Current and future residents need additional parks, transportation streetscape and pedestrian safety
improvements to accommodate this growth. I recently held a hearing on how the City is going to
address both this funding gap and the slow project delivery from City departments in the Eastern
Neighborhoods. I believe that an Infrastructure Financing District (IFD) is one of the strongest tools
we have to address this problem. I have been told by your staff for the last year that you are not
interested in pursuing an IFD and most recently that it’s your intention to fund the infrastructure
improvements for the Eastern Neighborhoods in your proposed upcoming November Ballot initiative
for Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA). Would you support an IFD for Eastern Neighborhoods
separate from your proposed November Ballot initiative and should this initiative fail, what is your plan
to support the infrastructure needs of the Eastern Neighborhoods? Additionally, would you support
efforts to slow the pace of development until the City can meet its obligations in funding and delivering
the associated infrastructure improvements? (Supervisor Cohen, District 10)
