3:00 pm
given it's a new program and we're typickually continually refining. currently the legislation itself is being reevaluated to clarify and change certain aspects to provide more clarity to the code. given that my assumption currently is that it would ask for the same type of closure from 11:00 to 2:00 to operate in the same proximate location. it is highly unlikely that the department would recommend an approval for these types of
3:01 pm
additional food trucks because again, we're starting to run into areas of what we believe to be some saturation, that the intent of the legislation was to, according to the board of supervisors was place these food trucks into so-called food deserts where there is little foodservices in the area. and based upon that logic, we're really looking at what is appropriate and what is not specifically. >> and so this food truck, since the gentleman runs a restaurant on that street already, it's slightly a different situation? >> in this case -- >> there are four restaurants on the street, but the food truck operator is one of those restaurants, correct? >> yes. >> that is correct >> three restaurants have outdoor seating. >> thank you. in that situation i'm happy to support staff's proposal on this one. >> i think we have a little
3:02 pm
technical problem. at least two of us already voted for this. director lee and i had this as k; right? >> yes. >> and we only removed l, m and n. >> when did become such a stickler? >> i'm a lawyer. >> you can vote on it again. that would be fine. it's just doubly endorsed. >> i will move to approve this. >> you are approving l, the commercial street? >> l. >> is there a second for that motion? >> second. >> any furndiscussion? all those in favor, say aye? >> aye. >> opposed? the ayes have it. l, m and n. jerry, director lee? >> that was the ortega street from 24th to 25th or 27th, where we're going put in speed bumps and pedestrian islands and then do strict parking. i'm familiar with that area because i grew up, around the
3:03 pm
sunset reservoir and into ortega [pw*-ubgts/] don't we run into the same problem with quintaro, reducing the speeds? >> are you asking about certain streets that are similar? >> they are identical. our drafting group is here and i'm going ask him to speak to the issue of other adjacent streets that might be of consider to take a look at. >> okay. >> good afternoon, mike with the livable sections of mta. we responded to this particular request on ortega because an application was submitted and we haven't looked at quintaro, because we haven't received an application. our traffic-calming resolves from input from residents. quintaro is more steep that
3:04 pm
ortega but because there were no specific requests for quintaro, we haven't looked tat. >> you are talking about speed bumps and pedestrian islands? >> speed humps are meant to control the speeding on the street and pedestrian islands are meant to improve crossing of the ortega to lead to the sunset reservoir. >> okay. what about the rationale of the restricted parking. >> the restricted parking is at the corners, to improve the sight lines of motorists and pedestrians i should add these elements were developed in conjunction with neighbors along that street. >> thank you. >> with that, director lee? >> i move to approve that. >> l, m and n? >> yes. >> their list, not ours. [ laughter ] >> i will second. >> we will have a tiny little break here. okay. can we hang on to that and come back to this one? >> okay.
3:05 pm
>> on advoice of my co-counsel. so let's go to 12. >> all right, so it's my understanding that the board is not taking action at this point on the ortega street items? >> that is right. >> moving on to item 12, hold on, let me get down there. i hope daze it's really 12, authorizing the directors to executive a contract new flier industries, et cetera. directors no members of public have signed up. >> any questions on this one? >> i would like to clarify -- and this actually came up. it's a question i should have asked when state of good repair
3:06 pm
grant for l15 million. this is this grant what is buying these buses or is that a separate purchase? >> hi, good afternoon, monique webster. the state of good repair grant we received was towards the purchase of replacement vehicles. we would like to expand the number of [sthra-ebgz/] we're going to be able to purchase, but at this point we don't know how many additional vehicles that will be. >> okay. so i think the last time we talked about new vehicles and i asked mr. haly, we would be receiving our first batch of new vehicles in spring? >> mr. haly and his staff with
3:07 pm
u.s. city attorney's office and finance folks has done a trespass job to accelerate this to the greatest extent possible negotiating very hard with new flyer to [tkhr-efr/] and i believe under this purchase, which i would say that we're very excited about, we would have the first ones coming in in the spring. and we have been able to get from them a very aggressive schedule and following right behind, which i think kind of relates to the question of the other grant funds is what we're also beginning to process on some of the electric trolley buses as well. so they will be following behind this purchase. but it's a much shorter turnaround time than we would normally have in part because you authorized us to enter into the purchasing consortium and in part because we emphasized to the contractor that we would like the most aggressive schedule possible for delivery. >> and these will be replacing some of our buses that we have
3:08 pm
been remined in the past we have the oldest fleet around and it's only through the amazing work of our mechanics that they are out there still running. so this will replace our worst? >> between in and the electric trolley procurement that we hope to bring to you soon, we'll be replace [sph-fgt/] oldest in our fleet and our biggest headaches. you will see in the next item, where we're requesting authorization to rehab in additionally some of our older vehicles in this combination of purchase and overhaul and in addition this is what have you approved in the five-year cip. that in addition to what have you done in operating budget in terms of getting -- investing in the maintenance, these two planks toweled significantly improve the reliability of the fleet overall. >> and i'm sorry, one more question.
3:09 pm
to go back to the federal grant, again this is something that i meant to ask at the time, but never did. when we got the $15 million state of good repair grant was that something we anticipated and baked into our budget numbers for those buses? >> yes. when we developed the two-year and five-year cip and the two-year capital budget, we anticipate to the best of our abilities the federal grant program and state to the extent its relevant. the various funding sources and build our plan around that. so we did anticipate those funds and i think we actually anticipated more than we received with that $15 million, so we're certainly very grateful for the $15 million. it wasn't a surprise. it was the exact amount we were unsure of. so that was baked into our assumptions, but because we got less, we have to figure out how to close gaps and adjust accordingly. these funds and the procurement
3:10 pm
was in the capital budget. >> g i just wanted to highlight that, because i know when i did a tour of one of the divisions, the age of the buses and the fact that you want your buses -- i understand, to be staggered at different types of year, so they don't start breaking down all at once. so buying 45 new vehicles is a great start. so i'm happy to go ahead and move this. >> is there a second? >> yes. >> further discussion? [phra-ufrp/]? >> aye. >> nays in the ayes have it. no. 13. >> 13 authorizing the director executive contract no. cpt 6 31, rehantation of neo plan buss with complete coach works in an amount not to exceed $19,105,885.60 and for a term not to exceed six years. no public has signed up. >> motion? >> motion. >> second? >> any further discussion? all those in favor, say aye? >> aye. >> opposed? the ayes have it.
3:11 pm
going back to miss freehlander with the ortega street item. >> directors, just to confirm and clarify for you and the public, the items on the consent calendar are the same on both versions of the agenda. there is only a typo in lettering. so once you act on the commercial street item, you will have acted on the entire consent calendar. >> on the ortega street item? >> the ortega street item. [laughter] >> correct. >> so is there a motion on the l, m and n? >> on the ortega street item. >> motion. >> second. >> any further discussion? all those in favor, say aye? >> aye. >> is that it? >> mr. chairman, that concludes the business before you today. there is no closed session. >> we're adjourning in memory of our colleague that we mentioned earlier in the
