6:00 pm
with different factions and this is a very simple resolution that calls for unity and coming together to protect an important progressive institution in our community. the morning show -- i'm so glad brian edwards tikiert is here and i remember criswell of and andrea lewis, the late andrea lewis and others that have a tremendous tradition and for people to say -- urge us not to support something like this that supports progressive unity and strengthening the station really pains me and i would just urge those that are asking us to not vote for this to think about how many of us are allies that want to strengthen the station as well? i applaud supervisor avalos' efforts to change language to make it more of a broad call for unity to defend the station but i'm going to be supportive in a week when we vote on this. thank you. >> supervisor avalos? >> i forgot to mention, colleagues, i'll be supporting
6:01 pm
the continuance, of course but i do have an amendment, very slight apartment i put on your desks and emailed it to bos legislation as well and just some cleanup language and took out mediation and work together and didn't want to there to be an illusion i'm calling on a, body to deal with the labor dispute. but working together is what this is calling for and think it's pretty innocuous and can support it january 4. thanks. >> supervisor alioto-pier, if i could ask or suggest we take the amendment as a whole and move on your motion to continue. supervisor avalos made a motion to amend the whole seconded by mirkiami. can we take that without objection? that should be the case and now supervisor alioto-pier made a motion to continue to january 4 selected by supervisor dufty. can we take that motion to continue without objection?
6:02 pm
that shall be the case. and if we can now go to the last item, item 56. >> item 56, ordinance amending the administrative code to provide for appeals to the board of supervisor of certain environmental documents and determinations under the california environmental quality act to clarify procedures and to provide public notice of environmental documents. >> supervisor alioto-pier. >> thank you, president chue. we're still working out a couple little things and would like to request a one-week continuance on this item. >> i'm sorry, not a one-week continuance but a continuance until january 4. >> supervisor alioto-peer made a motion seconded by supervisor dufty, can we take that motion to continue without objection. without objection that shall be the case. madam clerk could you please read the end memory yams for today. >> today's memory will be

adjourned on the following individuals, on behalf of alioto-pier for jonathan simmons and on behalf of supervisor dufty, gill white, sergeant jim acivedo. on behalf of president chiu, for the late rose santimno, for richard johnsonton, mr. john crawl, on behalf of supervisor campos for mr. jimenez. >> i want to thank everyone for your hard work in 2010. certainly this month as well as obviously the entire year we only have one more meeting of our session but i hope everyone has a very happy holiday and look forward to seeing you over the coming weeks. madam clerk, do we have any more business in front of this board? >> that concludes our business today, mr. president. >> at this time we are adjourned. chairman ford: good mi
6:05 pm
6:06 pm
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
6:07 pm
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
6:08 pm
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
6:09 pm
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.
6:10 pm
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
6:11 pm
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
6:12 pm
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
6:13 pm
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.
