a priority with the commission. there was recently an officer- involved shooting. and the call to service was numerous. the offices are picking of the brunt of that. that is my report. i apologize if it is of little long. >> this is a follow-up to the same thing as your ride-along, commissioner. i had a right along scheduled for the bayview district in january, and i am arranging with captains who were the other is to have a town hall meeting that occurred last night and i attended that. there were about 30 neighbors in the area that attended that meeting together with the captain as well as the

supervisor of elections. the object of the meeting was to talk about citizens' concerns in the neighborhood and around pedestrian crossing, and in particular, the bridges and whether there should be partial closures or whether there was lighting or other preventive measures that would be like a partial closing. there was not a resolution last night, but statistics regarding those types of crimes were provided by the police department. it was enlightening to be there and hear some of the concerns of the neighbors and how they are addressing it. in getting the concerns.

>> i am not sure if the assistant chief wants to speak to this, but i know that chief gaston is sending 3 sfpd representatives to memphis to ride along with their police officers to observe how they respond to the mentally ill using a crisis intervention teams. in this area of making policy recommendations of how officers could interact. commissioner hammer: in the

issue of dna and rape cases, we hear the horror stories. i have some good news is that i want to share. listen to this. rickets have to be picked up within 72 hours in the department is committed to testing every single rape kit incidences' go within 14 days. compared to where we were six months ago and five years ago, it is manhattan, a great problem -- it is a stunning and great progress. i wanted to mention the woman that was murdered.

they sat there for over two years, and while and sat there, the man raped other women. if we had tested that sample within 14 days, we would have found a hit because he was in prison for slashing a woman in the face with a razor. this is real life and death kind of stuff. it is really together with capt. -- really making tremendous progress. and for them to come back with the commission on where they were, cuda's to them -- kudos to them. >> any public comment regarding

objectives and our criteria for priorities and selecting priorities. we made an attempt to put them in order at that time. should we revisit that to make sure that we get these items on the calendar? commissioner hammer: one of these that finished some months ago, are these definitely set in january? that is all i had. >> item 5 is a public comment on all matters relating -- pertaining to close the session, including the vote on whether to go into closed session. >> public comments regarding closed session items? they are disciplinary matters because they are involved with

i'd reich to adjourn our meeting tonight in honor of gary hazelhof if er. he recently retired. he leaves behind a wife and two children. he was a dedicated member much our san francisco police department and he will be missed by this police family and by his family. i worked with gary as a prosecutor, and he always had a smile on his face, and he always had a good thing to say. reading some of the comments in his owe pitch ri -- obituary talking about the other officers and what true partners they were. i would like to adjourn tonight's hearing in honor of former police officer gary hazelhoffer. >> second.

>> the time is 7:18. [at 7:18 p.m. the meeting is adjourned]chairman ford: good mi

would like to call to order the meeting of the transbay joint powers authority december 9 meeting of the board of directors. madam secretary, please call the roll.

>> mr. chairman, you have a quorum. chairman ford: let's work our way through the agenda. >> note communications. chairman ford: let's go to the next item. >> new and old business. chairman ford: any new or old business? director daily? director daly: just because of the timing of this, i wanted to mention some of the things happening with child-care, specifically in the plans and programs committee.

there does seem to be serious movement there to figure out this issue. i know our staff and this board has discussed this item previously, and i have taken a look, and it seems to me, in terms of goals of building a complete neighborhood, obviously, the best transit serves neighborhoods, but also includes things like child care. i think there is no disagreement on that point. where there may be conflict is how to get that done. i think, what i would like to ask the board is to basically work with staff, members of the transportation authority, as i am still a member of both agencies for a few weeks. i am willing to take a stab at

trying to figure out a way to move forward and deliver child care, share the burden fairly, in terms of making that happen. i think, perhaps, we can consider looking at some space that we may have access as perhaps our contribution, perhaps, the transportation authority, if they're interested, can figure out if there is money, where appropriate, to spend on that sort of thing. of course, the city's child programs does have some capital dollars, on going, supplemental dollars for operations, subsidies. i just wanted to bring that up because it was not on the agenda. chairman ford: also, in the same

vein, director daly, i understand the board of supervisors has passed an ordinance related to local hiring. i would like to see at subsequent meeting, discussion and staff on what impact, if any, it has on the tjpa, in terms of the work that we're doing. i would also ask that we get a full briefing as it relates to small and local business participation. i think it would be important for the public to see what kinds of activities have occurred in that regard to ensure we have small and local business participation, in terms of programs and projects. i think you may be addressing the issue regarding bathrooms in the temporary terminal in your agenda, so that is also covered. i think that closes any new and old business. we can go to the next agenda

item. >> item 5 is the executive director's report. >> good morning, everyone. since our last meeting in november, as you know, we have achieved a number of other milestones. we started demolition of the front of the transbay building. many of you may have seen that on television. we also received the first $25 million in aero funding. in addition, you may have heard this and this is the board of supervisors passed a unanimous resolution of necessity to allow certain properties to construct the project. i would like to thank the san francisco board of supervisors for their work. we have 86 items -- in agreement with the state historic preservation organization -- to preserve such items and then provide them to museums.

the department of transportation in oakland will also be using them as interpretive exhibits. you will be seeing some of the pictures later. with respect to the transit building, we expect tell the court palais to issue as a document on december 20. that will begin the review and common process, and it will take approximately 13 weeks, as agreed on by everyone. we also, as you know, issued a request for design proposals for the design and build glazing package. all bidders attended a fee proposal conference on the 18th. the initial design proposals are due tomorrow december 10. then we will have a series of meetings with the proposal is in january to make sure they meet our design our design criteria and intent. after that, the ones that meet

the intent and criteria will be asked to submit formal bids. in terms of the bus transit, we were given a presentation a time ago. the bus transit line team is updating the designs, and we should have more on that next year. on the rail component of the program, on november 5, we issued a design variants request for variations to the california high speed rorail authority. they have to approve these requests before implementing certain portions of the design element. we have also continued coordination with high-speed rail, caltrain, and we are also coordinating with the san francisco county transportation authority to see where we can get some collaboration. directors, you mentioned a presentation on sbdbe.'we are prep

we are prepared to present that today. first, i will invite nancy to give you the funding of state. >> good morning. not too much of an uptick since last time we met, other than we are working on aerial and -- on a rail grant. the other of things we are doing is related to your core mission of our founding partners at mtc and ta in san mateo county to get our acquisitions through. we are also discussing the possibility of looking into the state's grants for parks which might be applicable to the rooftop park or other small parts in the area. those are due in the spring. we are looking at whether or not that seemed to fit our needs. >> now i would like to have

sarah present our financial quarterly reports. she will also give a presentation on small business participation. chairman ford: good morning. >> good morning. you have before your standard quarterly financial reports. they show budget to actual status of contract and our investment. today's report goes through september 30. all of our expenditures and revenues are within budget. procurement activities are included in these plans. i wanted to note, on the contract status report, you see our cbe goal for fiscal year it 2009, 2010 was 24.5%. 2009, 2010 was 24.5%. we
