includes some explanation from the mental health community. why do we have so many from this city? the taser issue, this is a waste of our time on what we need to focus on. let's focus on the mental health issues. i think the commissioners should respect that and i will leave it to them. >> if i understand that our meeting on the ninth will be to allow the commission as a whole to get a better understanding and to get feedback from experts

in the community in the mental health arena. if that accurate? >> yes. when we have this type of exploratory meeting, what is there a process of reaching out to communicate that to the community in general. is there a database already set up that the commission has? how do we communicate that.

>> when we meet tomorrow, we will discuss where the people where need to be. we will have a sense if there are any questions. >> we will have a sense of next wednesday. >> these are selected by the commissioners. >> these people have been dedicated to this. this is rather clear.

>> what is our process of making sure other than just announcing it at commission meetings? do we have any other way of getting meeting set are of particular importance? >> a short of putting up fliers, the people would come to the police commission website, the commissioners can do their best to get everyone here. i think the word is getting out. >> can we have the newspapers get out -- >> we have the agenda on line and at the public library.

>> we cannot control the public. it looks like they will address the mental health and the recent police contact3 tasers are part of what is going on today and i expect this to be addressed at the health hearing as well as the taser hearing. we should gather the information and let the people speak.

the last bus came out of the transbay terminal center. you can see a picture of the last bus that left the terminal that day. the subsequent day on saturday morning of august 7, we opened phase one of the temporary terminal. last december we completed case to. -- phase two. we then had our ground breaking ceremony which was attended by the secretary of transportation, speaker pelosi, and other dignitaries. you can see a shot of that wonderful event. demolition began on the existing terminal on august 14 with demolition of the east flu. we brought on board a facility manager, linc facilities, who

maintain the facility. we also worked closely with the transit operators and riders. we have had a very smooth transition and now we have completed the temporary terminal but we still need to install some more benches. we will be reported today the condition of the restrooms for transit passengers that use the tab per terminal. in terms of demolition, you will hear more in the construction of date later, but we started demolition of the eastern station. we have successfully coordinated daytime and nighttime closures with multiple utility contractors. in terms of 2010 work on utility relocation, we worked with pg&e and other private utilities. we completed the design of six

utility relocation packages. five of the six packages were bid. 3 awarded. construction began on the first package in november. with respect to the transit center, we completed the design- development, the excavation package, 50% construction documents, and we continued working with the seismic safety review committee on the implementation of seismic criteria and continue the evaluation of alternatives for their ramp design. we have done extensive archaeological investigations. we did a lot of that before we began demolition work. asbestos abatement was also completed. last year we were awarded the buttress shoring package. as you recall, the engineer's estimate was $206 million.

we also released the rfd process and are in the evaluation phase. we also addewent into phase twof the webcor/obayashi contract. we were awarded $400 million to build the rail levels as part of phase one of the transit center. turner construction also started working with us in june 2010 and over 28,000 craft hours have been worked without injury to date. with respect to the bus storage, we have close coordination with caltrans on the seismic analysis and we continued coordinating with other state agencies, including the state fire marshal, fire department, and the pdpt.

we continue working with high- speed rail and caltrain to finalize the design and growth structured to accommodate a growing population. we prepared design variances and will be presenting them shortly in the first quarter of 2011. program-wide activities, we have 13 properties we have acquired for voluntary sale. last year, the board approved the resolution of necessity, in order for us to acquire the remaining 12 properties for the transit center. we also completed a safety and security management plan. we have also continued a successful internship program at the tjpa. we have been providing jobs to disadvantaged and at risk youth. we have been working with the

california unified school district's and other organizations. we have seen much success as young people are reporting back that they want to become engineers. the current cost schedule, as of november 2010, phase one remained at $1.99 billion. that includes phase one of the transit center, the aboveground structure, the temporary terminal, a storage, and reims. phase two, $2.6 billion -- hear you can see the current budget, the notice to proceed, what has been committed, and what has been incurred to date. the overall program schedule to date, we give you a very high level look here but we have done

from 2001. what we are looking to do with phase one is to have bus operations begin early in 2017. funding dependent, if we were to realize the money soon, we could start work in 2012 and have it completed by 2019. moving on from 2011 to 2019, we will be finalizing the bus storage design. we expect that to have that in construction in the first quarter of 2012. we continue our be location process. we will also be completed with our demolition of the existing terminal and ramps in may of this year. we will have the construction documents completed for the

transit center in august 2011. then we will start bidding and award a trade packages for the below-grade foundation work, the superstructure, the transit center, the glazing, which will be a design-build package. if we are able to realize the rest of the funding for rail, we could have that by 2019. the plan for 2011, you can see here, we are doing a lot of utility relocation work. then of course, moving into the building of the mission shoring wall. then we will be moving into the buttress work. on the temporary terminal, as i have indicated, it is completed other than some benches we will be installing.

additionally, we are providing restrooms for the patrons, pending this board's approval. we will continue on the bus storage facility, working with jacobs on the various items in that area. we will complete our real-estate acquisition for phase one this year as well. as i indicated earlier, we will start construction of the buttress and shoring walls, construction of the transit center in august, and finalize the ramp design and start the final design work. the rail extension will be submitting various is to the high speed rail authority, providing a cost and updating the drawings for consistency. on program activities, we will be looking for the board for approval on various street

high level overview to date. we have awarded almost $84 million worth of contracts and subcontracts to dbe and sbe businesses. to date, through december 2010, paid almost 40 million out to those businesses. this is a federal fiscal year breakdown of the percentage awarded, goal, and payment for the federal fiscal year. in september 3, 2010, we paid $5.4 million. we will be continuing to look to increase these numbers. this is an outline of some of the average we have been doing over the past year. we will continue to be involved with the business outreach committee to hold pre-bid

meetings as well as network opportunity meetings. we will continue to place plans in all of the rooms so that they are available free of charge, and we will look for opportunities to unbundle contracts and do sbe set asides where possible. >> now an update on the community outreach project. >> good morning. 2010 was a very busy an exciting year for the project, especially for our program out reach, as it became tangible to our neighbors and transit riders. some of our accomplishments included commemorating the old terminal by guiding historical tours.

we also launched our ambassador program. and the moment we had been waiting for, the official groundbreaking for the program, which was attended by speaker pelosi and secretary lahood. other west does include supporting the demolition and construction efforts as we began construction -- demolition of the eastern ramp. we also had an update to part of our website, creating a 10-day look ahead to our e-mail distribution list, 2000 folks who live in the area, as well as hosting community meetings at the tjpa. we have secured sustained media coverage for all of the program's highlights. most recently with the use of "big red" the wrecking ball at the terminal center.

we also had a successful transition to phase two operations at the terminal. looking ahead to this year, we will continue our outreach project as the work progresses with a specific focus on phase three and four demolition activities. we are now moving to a new area of the project, the western side of the ramp, so we are ramping up our outreach to those neighbors as well. we are also coordinating communication for utility efforts, buttress and shoring, and excavation efforts happening. we will continue our e-mail updates and continue to hold our monthly elkridge meetings at the tjpa. media efforts will focus on securing national exposure for our engineering and construction accomplishments. as you are aware, this is one of the most exciting projects under construction in the country and

we will be pitching what it takes to build the first modern high-speed rail station in the country. >> thank you. now nancy will give the update on our funding. >> good morning. 2010 was a big year for us. we achieve two major milestones in the way of receiving a $400 million grant from ara for the train box, as well as completion of our loan. we also have grant allocations that are approved for bridge tolls. we also got the final amount of the san mateo tax money allocated to the program. fra allocated the $400 million. so we have a total of $568

million in grant allocations this year, so our biggest here yet. this is our funding plan as of november 2010. you can see the $1.59 billion in sources. many of those sources have already been allocated. there are only a few remaining that have allocation left, including the ac transit capital contribution, land sales, and tifia loan. we have had allocations to that program but we also have tifia loans and land sales that are not yet committed. about $2 billion we still need to achieve. to date, for both phases one and two, we have over $2 billion this year committed to the

program. that includes the tifia amounts on the previous page. for 2011, the other funding activities coming up is to continue to seek full funding for face to. we have some pending allocations still to finalize some of those. we will get an allocation from ac transit this year, including transit security money. fra has a separate allocation to us. state monies as well that we expect to be allocated. we have about $7.5 million pending right now. the next activity
