the pg&e connection, the recommended connection, they presented three alternatives, but the one recommended to us was the connection to the downtown network grid. which is the kind of standard arrangement in areas where that service is available. and they would serve the transit center with two different points of service, which would be fully redundant and neither would be able to support the operations of the transit center, if one point of service failed. the san francisco puc proposal, they are not able to service directly from the downtown grid, but what they have proposed is what is called a "do dual primary feeder." again

connecting to the transit center at two different locations and either service being able to fully support the needs of the transit center. so if there was a problem with one point of service or the pg&e substation, we would be able to receive service from the other substation. in terms of the first cost to the tjpa, the first cost of the connection to the pg&e service was estimated by pg&e at roughly $4.5 million. those service connections are subject to a number of rebate programs based on consumption. the san francisco public utilities commission, the cost of making that connection would be greater, but the proposal from the san francisco public utilities commission is that they would cover any additional costs above and beyond those that would be required for the

pg&e service connection. and, in fact, that they would -- because they are not required to pay a state tax on the service connections, they would decrease the cost of our service connection by the cost of that tax, which is rough life $650,000. and their service connection would be subject to the same refunds as the pg&e service connection. so that we're at a very equitable basis, but realizing about a $650,000 initial savings on cost of service. it's worth noting also that the puc has additional energy-efficiency rebates that they have indicated that the transit center might be eligible for above and beyond those offered by pg&e.

and that puc primarily, because they are primary hetchy and solar power that they are 100% greenhouse gas-free service to the tjpa. so in summary, the sfpuc is offering us an ongoing service rate that would be 10% lower than pg&e's. an initial cost of connection that is again roughly $650,000 less than pg&e's. and has a comparable level of reliability of service. and so the recommendation is that the board authorize staff to negotiate an agreement with puc. >> thank you. actually i did have a quick question. i wasn't clear from the summary, the $661,000 of the itcc, are we going to discount that amount to the puc?

because in the summary it said a minus and i wasn't sure we would offer that credit to the puc, since we would not have to pay it to pg&e. >> the puc has said is that they would limit the cost to the tjpa to the amount that it would cost them to establish pg&e network grid service, less the amount of that fee. so that is a further decrease in the initial cost investment to the tjpa for the amount of that fee, which at the time of the pg&e proposal was 22% of the costs. >> thank you. director metcalf? >> why is the sf puc proposing to subsidize the installation by 3. 5 million dollars?

>> the puc is here and barbara hale could speak to that. but in terms of bringing us on as a customer, they are able to further utilize the amount -- to sell on the retail market additional energy that they would otherwise would be surplus and selling on the whole sale market. >> do they make the money back? >> they make the money back. >> thank you. that is all i need. >> director reiskin? >> just a comment, as the chair said, first of all, a very good and comprehensive report. so i appreciate that. and i also think as the transbay terminal itself is

enabling a sustainability form of transportation and brings a very big environmental benefit to the region, i think it's very appropriate that we would be powering it with clean hetch hetchy power. so i commend the puc for an innovative and aggressive proposal and i think this is a win-win and good for the puc and it's good for the project and it's good for the city. so i think i'm happy to see the recommendation. thank you. >> i will just concur with director reiskin. and i think over the last -- actually over the last year the board of supervisors has spent quite a bit of time comparing rates and offerings between pg&e and puc with community choice aggregation. i think i came out of that process with incredible faith with the public utilities commission to really work through and offer the best deal possible both for the city and i do think it's a big win-win in terms of the revenue that is going to flow back to the city.

and of course, the savings that will occur at tjpa and of course, the environmental impacts or the benefits is also a huge bonus. so i'm really happy to see this come before us and happy to support this as well. any other commentses or questions? let's take a vote on this item. >> motion to approve this. >> second. >> with a first and second, and any member of public wishing to comment on the item (roll call vote ) that is four ayes and item 7 is approved. >> thank you. can we please move to item no. 8. >> item no. 8 is approving the updated initial projects report and a resolution of project compliance with for the allocation of regional measure 1/ab funds in amount of $47,800,000 for the transit center program >> sarah will report on this item. >> directors this is the

standard compliancing. this particular allocation allows us to certify and issue an ntp for the first portion of the structural steel contract. as we have done in the past with mtc, when we have the land sale funds available from the close of the tower parcel t, we would actually rescind whatever we haven't spent and return it to mtc and would be available for a future allocation. so this is $47.8 million in funds to be determined by mtc and i'm happy to answer any questions that you have. >> director reiskin. >> it's great to see this moving forward and enabling the

ntp package. the table in the back that showed the revenue plan for both the $1.6 million project and total $4.5 . the land sales items, it was maybe $400 something million for phase 1 and double that for the total project. what are the assumptions underlaying those numbers and what is the level of certainty with those? >> the land sale assumptions are based on projections that are real estate consultant as part of the tifia loan. there is a range of numbers that are possible and we have of course used the lower more conservative assumptions. and we'll see how the market performs as we move forward. we do have -- if the board would like to review in closed

session, we do have those projections on a block-by-block basis, but we do keep those confidential. >> okay. thank you. >> sure. >> move approval. >> so we have a motion to approve, and we have a second. >> and no members of the publication indicated that they wanted to address you on the item. so with that roll call (roll call vote ) . >> that is four ayes and item 8 is approved. thank you. >> can we call items 9 and 10 together? >> item 9 is approving the minutes of the november 19th, 2012 meet >> members of the board, good morning and happy new year. i would like to direct your attention to item 9 at the bottom of page 3. this does not actually request what was said at the meeting.

the board gave specific direction to staff to come back basically other issues to be studied in the supplemental eir and directions were to come back to the board, either in december or january. now the reason i am addressing you here is that one thing that was really basically skipped over is that the authority mandated in the alignment, but what happened as a result of that is that the platforms have not been pushed back to the other side of main street, on the other side of the street. what that means if we pursue this avenue, we will never, ever be able to connect transbay to the east bay. and the sooner we look at this and address this, the better. thank you. >> that concludes the members of the public that indicated that they wanted to address you under that item. >> thank you. i am actually looking at our

november minutes right now and i'm not sure what aspect of the minutes that were referred to. director metcalf? >> i think i was the one who made comments there. thank you for the comments. i agree that this is an area that needs future study. i do think that the minutes are accurate. we did authorize moving forward with that professional services agreement. we are requesting that we talk about this at a future meeting as the minute say. so i think you are flagging an important issue for us, but i think we should adopt the minutes >> thank you, director metcalf. i assume this is referring to item no. 9? >> that is right. >> when the board did request an update on dtx and high speed rail and i do see that reflected in the minutes. would you like to make that more specific in the minutes? >> no, i'm comfortable with the minutes. >> we do have items 9 and so

before us. >> i think i'm going to abstain from item 9. >> so we'll call them separately then. >> i do know if you have read the minutes and you feel comfortable with them you can vote on them, but if you rather not we can do them separately. do we have a motion to approve. >> so moved. >> motion and second and we'll vote on that first. >> [-ebs/] director mett kav? >> aye. >> director reiskin? >> aye. >> vice-chair ortiz? >> obstain. >> chair kim? >> aye. >> that is three ayes and one abstained and item 9 is approved. >> go ahead and call item 10. >> approving the minutes of meeting december 13, 2013. >> moved and second. >> no members of public who wish to address you on that item. (roll call vote? >> .

four ayes and item 10 is approved. >> at this time i do not see any further items in our open session. do we have a motion to convene into closed session. >> so moved. >> second. >> at this time we do ask members of the public to exit the room to discuss closed session items and we want to thank everyone for coming today. >> i did want to note that no members indicated that they wish to address you on the closed session item. >> seeing none, public comment on this item is closed. the meeting is now back in open session and counsel will report on the closed session. >>

>> the board unanimously resolved to direct the executive director [speaker not understood] for l1,432,500 and resolve upon successful closure, surmisal of the eminent domain action. >> thank you no further items? >> that conclude yours agenda for today. for today.

shortly. (i) the chair has called the meeting to order. please turn off your electronic devices as it interferes with the recording equipment. can we rise for the pledge of allegiance please. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> i'd like to call roll. president mazzucco, present.

>> commissioner dejesus, present. >> commissioner chan, present. >> commissioner kingsley, present. >> commissioner tur march, present. >> commissioner loftus, present. with us is deputy biel and the office of occ. >> thank you. ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wednesday, january 9, 2013, san francisco police commission meeting. you will hear later the chief will be with us soon. he is currently attending a juvenile justice commission meeting down the hall. so he is in the building. tonight is our first meeting of 2013. before we move into the meeting we're going to have a presentation of certificates of appreciation for some really incredible work done by both civilian and two of our san francisco police officers. i see family members here. so we're going to do that. but before i do that, before he gets here, i want to make an announcement, something i'm

proud of. our own dr. marshall, who is the president of the mega boys club and is on our commission will have to leave early to catch a flight tomorrow. he's been summoned to the white house to be part of a panel dealing with gun violence. he just found out about that. so if he's a little late, he's working on the arrangements. that's an incredible honor for one of our police commissioners. he ran a gun buy back program and we had a great conversation today about gun violence. he will share those thoughts with the vice president. so we're very honored and proud. when he gets here, a little round of applause. without further ado, call line item 1. >> the clerk: presentation of certificates of appreciation, action. mr. halloway, and officers matthew cloud and stephen

gritsch. >> thank you, mr. president, commissioners, chief biel, mr. hicks, happy new year. tonight, i'm not going to be wearing my poa hat outside of congratulating two of our members who will receive an award later on. i'm wearing my arson task force hat. i'm assigned to the arson task force for the san francisco police department and i will give you a synopsis on what occurred september 12, 2012. there was an incident at 1390 market street at the atm of the redwood credit union which is associated with the fox plaza building which is mostly commercial and residential above that. a suspect approached the atm, he bawled up some combustible materials and lit it on fire and then took that small fire that he had in his hands and put it in the waste paper receptacle of the atm. now this is a very serious incident that could have

escalated to proportions of large fires here in the city. there was an individual that was there, a mr. tommy halloway who is with us. mr. halloway, if you would like to step up so the commissioners can see you. mr. halloway approached this individual, attempting to get this individual to cease and desist. the individual became aggressive and mr. halloway did the right thing at that point. he backed off, protected himself, but remained at the scene and became an excellent witness. so he provided a statement to the uniformed officers that responded. mr. halloway went above and beyond what a normal witness would do. not knowing mr. halloway had extensive history in graphic design and sketch, he went home and without prompting from any officer, he provided both a black and white sketch and a colored sketch of the suspect.

in the meantime, i was able to put out a crime alert notification to the members of the san francisco police department, and i will show you this now. this is the bulletin that went out to all members of the sfpd. and within two days mr. halloway presented these sketches to me, and then, after looking at the sketches, and putting that information out, this suspect was soon taken into custody. so the bulletin, and then the sketches, that mr. halloway provided, are certainly of a professional manner. this led to the arrest of this individual. this individual was held to answer during a preliminary hearing, and he's currently in custody, seeking mental help by order of the court. so i want to recognize mr. halloway for his good work, and also knowing when to back off, becoming a good witness,

a normal citizen would do. have a plaque from the commission or the chief's office. >> chiefs office. >> yes, we do. hold on a second. >> from the san francisco police department-n deepest gratitude for your performance of outstanding bravery in service to others at great personal risk such an example of bravery is worthy of the highest esteem by the san francisco police department we give you this, our certificate of appreciation. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> [applause.] >> mr. halloway, would you like to say something? >> i'm certainly honored, humbled, i should say. i was just doing what i thought

was right. >> president mazzucco: we're honored and humbled by what you did. the actions you took were incredible. it shows your concern for the the community. it shows -- when you did the sketch it was incredible. i read about it earlier. that was remarkable. you used your talents and skills to keep a an arist off the stre. i notice a notre dame sweatshirt. is that a family member? >> this one? we're very good friends. >> president mazzucco: congratulations. if you need an excuse tell them why -- congratulations. in between presentations, dr. marshall just walked in. as i explained to you earlier without him here, because he wouldn't want me to do it, dr. marshall is on his way to the white house tomorrow to discuss gun violence.

so given him a round of applau applause. >> [applause.] >> president mazzucco: please call the next item, which is the presentation certificates of appreciation from the police commission for officers matthew cloud and stephen gritsch. please come forward. >> if i could say, president, i know there's little people who i'm sure i hear outside sort of, but i want to make it clear to everybody and their families that we're here to honor you, and that includes, if your kids are up for it and maybe they're a little loud, it's fine with me. i look at my colleagues and on the chance that they'll get a chance to see what we have to say about you guys remember it's probably worth it!3nnr.

>> president mazzucco: are the cloud boys in here? please come forward, officers. come to the podium. ladies and gentlemen in the audience and family members and those watching on television, it's a very special event. this is a police commission certificate and merit of appreciation. both these officers will and have been nominated for life-saving awards. but it's very special this incident. i know that both myself, commissioner loftus attended the initial press conference of bayview station honoring these officers for what they did on the evening of december 12, 2012. we hear a lot of bad things happening in this world but in that press conference there wasn't a dry eye in the house. these two fine young officers, and they are san francisco's finest, received a call early in the morning of december 12, 2012, that there was a woman in

the middle of the street, in one of the worst intersections in bayview point, bleeding. they arrived at the scene, not the woman, walked up to them and handed them a sweatshirt and in that sweatshirt was a five pound baby. that baby was not breathing. he was blue. officer grich, who is a former paramedic from smoam and officer cloud, his partner, were out in pouring rain. they called for an ambulance and there were none nearby. they spoke with dispatch and the the closest ambulance was already at san francisco general hospital. at this press conference, one of the officers said they weren't rainy night in bayview hunters point. officer gritsch took the baby to the muni proprietor line third street line under cover where there was light and began cpr on the baby. when they realized there were no

ambulances the officers took the baby to san francisco general hospital on their own and officer cloud drove with code three red light and siren while officer grirch]vjqjñ worked on e baby in the car. we heard officer gritsch was begging the baby to leave and not leave him. officer cloud, the deal was they were going to drive until they met with an ambulance and didn't. they made it all the way to san francisco general with baby nash and officer gritsch put him on the table and he started to move. it was not just a christmas story but a story of heroism of what our two officers did for our community. i have to tell you again, they made quick decisions, they put this baby's life ahead of their lives, and they rescued him. and a little side note and a funny note, they went to visit the baby in the hospital, and security wouldn't let them in because it was the wrong time.

they work mid-nights and couldn't see the baby. but i have to tell you, what you did here, your families should be proud. i told your two sons outside, officer cloud, they're here tonight because their dad's a hero and your family should know the same, officer grirch. on behalf of the police commission thank you from the bottom of my heart and the entire police commission for your service and what you did that night. you guys are truly heroes. thank you. >> [applause.] >> thank you very much. >> thank
