processes as they come on board. as i think about the southeastern side of the city as it relates to economic land use and development -- how it compliments with our infrastructure conversation. that's it /t-r me. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner wiener. >> thank you. i'll be supporting this item. there are a number of really good and important projects on this list of obag grant resip recipients. i know we've been focusing on masonic but trans/pwa*eu and second street and a number of other projects are very important. i will say that when we get lists of projects that come through the authority

we don't understand district eight as receiving zero dollars of investment despite the fact that a majority of the district is pry torety development area. i'm just under a lot of reasons for why projects and not others pick it on to the obag list, but i think that geographic equity is always something that should be important to all of us. i'm very supportive of projects around the city. we have some significant needs in this district eight, particularly upper market which is a complete and utter mess. it is unsafe for pedestrians, unsafe for cyclists, bad for muni, has many problems and requires a lot of attention and i would

like the ta to focus a lot more or the upper market and how can work with the mta to address this troubled stretch of market street, which was left out of the better market street plan, and needs a lot of attention. putting that aside, this is an important list of projects and i'll be /su /poring it. >> thank you. commissioner kim. >> i appreciate certainly the come /phrebgsty of a lot of [inaudible] and appreciate the work that supervisor /pwroed and mar are doing on the masonic street improvement plan. i wanted to note some of the other projects that are [inaudible] really happy to see second street street /skaeup improvements as part of this and i appreciate the transportation authority for working with us to ensure this

project moves forward so we're really excited about having a corridor that connects downtown to the ballpark with the cycle tracks and widened sidewalks and additional plannings in the neighborhood. appreciate your work with the transbay power authority and ensuring we move forward with the bike and ped improves through [inaudible] of the list of projects that are moving forward. happy to see that two of our schools were included in this as well. one, the broadway street /skaeup improvement with [inaudible] parker element stair school which does that the highest number of pedestrian collisions by a school so i think it's important that we do improvements there and of course [inaudible] elementary school. happy to see these on the list. thank you. >> thank you. colleagues, anymore comments or questions? okay. i want to thank par /teus /paeubgs /paeugs from the public today. i want to thank

transportation authority for their work in bringing forward these list of projects. i want to respond to commissioner weaners comments. i do see that /tkpwraoe graphic equity has been considered in these allocations, especially my district has not been able to receive a great deal of funding support for our needs for many years and we have some pretty good projects here that i think will be useful for the district. i do see there are incredible needs also in the areas that commissioner wiener has addressed. so i do see that we're making [inaudible] as we put this list together but again, i want to thank the trans/por /taeubgs authority on this and let's take this same house, same call? this item will pass. next item please. /stkpwr >> item number 12, closed session. this is an

information item. >> this is actually scheduled as a closed session but due to -- we're still making deliberations as a personnel committee that we're not ready to have a closed session. we can have a brief update abour progress so far in the selection process for any executive director. i want to thank the personnel committee, members who have devoted a great deal /aof time over the past couple of weeks in interviewing nine candidates so far. we spent two days a week-and-a-half ago and last thursday interviewing nine candidates, about an hour each per candidate and we actually look forward to the full commission -- the names of two, perhaps three finalists that we would like to have considered together all here at the board. and that discussion won't be able to happen until july 12 at 3 o'clock is our next scheduled

personnel meeting where we'll go over the list of con dates for the position. so we'll be working with staff to -- after that to schedule meetings here at the ta. we could have two meetings before the end of this month to make sure we stay on the schedule of deciding an executive director before we go on our recess. we have been working on a very aggressive schedule to identify executive director and i know that's put a lot of pressure on the the personnel committee to act quickly, but i think it's very y deliberate about thought for in making the choice in executive director. with that, if there are no other comments or questions we can go on to public comment.

>> the person nel committee is meeting july 12 and then you'll give us instruction at the next july meeting? >> we will be looking at scheduling two board meetings of the transportation authority to be able to discuss, interview candidates here before us. on july 12 we we'll be discussing who will go forward so it's not quite a certainty yet until we have that meeting and we determine which names go forward, but i expect that on the 23rd and 30th of this month that we will have full board commission meetings to be able to -- sorry, exactly. of july, 23

and july 30 to be able to finalize the list of [inaudible] one will be discussions with candidates, which will be on the 23rd and then between the 23 and 30th will be a finalizing what a package will be for the executive director and that will be finalized on the 30th meeting before the entire body. >> i want to thank all the members of the personnel committee. i know that personnel committee spent an awful lot of time in deliberating and meeting with the whole list of candidates and i think we all appreciate your work. i also know i would guess that those of us that have not been on the personnel committee would love to have an opportunity to have brief conversations with whoever the personnel committee feels strongly about. the last thing i will mention is the chair had sent a letter to our city controller asking for at least an expedited review of how our

county transportation authority compares with others from a government standpoint and i understand that initial review is due out in about a week or two so i am looking forward to getting that information because i think it will inform how i feel about future leadership of the ta and how we move forward but i want to thank all of you for you work. >> i want to acknowledge the personnel committee who have devoted ha lot of time for this -- commissioner mar, cohen, our two chairs for finance committee and commissioner campos and wiener as well. just having a five person personnel committee is a bit challenging to schedule, but we've done well together and it's been great to have the work to the interviews together with you all. okay. so this item is an information item so we can go on to our next item,

which is -- that was scheduled -- we can take public comment on item number 12 related to process for shrekking a new executive director. and seeing none come forward, we'll close /p-b lick comment and we can go on to our next item. >> item 13 allocate 12.406 in prop k funds with conditions for annual requests subject to attached fiscal year [inaudible] and amend the prop k traffic calming and [inaudible] fife year [inaudible] programings. this is an action item. >> good afternoon. sorry. this item has two enclosures that were attached to your packet and i will highlight the allocation requests very briefly. most of this request

is for the para transit operations program and we fund about half of the operating budget for this. this is also a funding re/kw*us for public sidewalk repair from the department of public works primarily around city street trees. there is a funding request from bart for a civic center bike station. this will serve bart and muni patrons in the portion of the bike station that the external to bart and also there's a portion /tp-f bart patrons. it's 190 new spaces. this will fund tree planting and maintenance. this is done in empty basins and also a year of operations of the commuter benefits program. two of the applications i'd like to high /hraoeug are the sfmta's request for the local application based traffic calming program. this is the first portion of the roll out of the new revised traffic

calming program. mta spent the better part of 2012 revising its program and the action you will take today is to approve the allocation of funds and to approve the fine work for the revised program. this framework includes the residential and the arterial and [inaudible] however it does put more of the funds on the arterial track, which is in line with city policies to fund more projects on high injury corridors. [inaudible] would fund the residential program, used to be the [inaudible] planning effort, now it's funding evaluation of the hundred requests that they're anticipating to come in as far as the new application period that we are now in. evaluation will be done by august and this will fund the design of those

20 locations that would be /shroebgted from this new batch of requests. one of your enclosures -- i want to draw your attention to the traffic calming materials. these are considered the backlog for the traffic [inaudible] and slot improvement areas projects and you can sift through and hook at the specific locations recommendations. the walk first investment strategy will fund the planning /tk-p and other stakeholders and they come up with a city wide process for prioritizing pet safety improvements and also a recommend pry ortized list of safety projects. the controllers office will be engaging with a consultant to

do some of this work. agencies are here to answer any questions. >> any comments or questions on this item? we can go on to public comment on this item? any member that would like to comment come forward. seeing none, we'll close public comment. colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call? the item passes. our next item please. >> fourteen, this is an information item. >> any new items introduced? okay. we can go on to public comment on this item. seeing no one come forward, we'll close. our next item. >> item 15, public comment. >> our next item is general public comment. anyone can comment on any related related to the transportation authority. okay, we'll close. and our last item.

>> item 16, adjournment. >> colleagues, we are adjourned. >> good morning, everyone. i'm tailor stafford, president and ceo of pier 39 and on behalf of our grateful water front family, it is my privilege to extend a sincere thank you to the port of san francisco for all that you have done, and continue to do to build the best water front in north america. pause plause [ applause ] >> from at&t, home from the world champion san francisco giants to the building, to the

new exporatorium, and new cruise ship terminal to pier 39 and all of the restaurant and businesss in between, we are all proud to wish you, the port of san francisco a happy, 150th anniversary. today, project such as the new warriors arena establish the port as a world class destination, due for large part to the vision of mayor ed lee and monique moyer and as well as the dedication of the port commissioners and staff. it is now my pleasure to introduce honorable ed lee, mayor of san francisco. [ applause ] >> good morning, everybody. happy birthday. i just want to make sure that you know that if you combine the ages of myself, or

president chiu, and monique moyer we might get to 150 years, maybe. but i'm down here to have fun, today, get out of city hall, go to bubba gumps and make sure that i spend it with other people who love to have fun like our port commission and hers directors and the staff and the rec and parks here and i know that the fire chiefs had to lessen her fun time and go to a three alarm fire and thank you to her for being vigilant for the city. and we would rec and park they have discovered yet another great partner to find water front open space that we can all enjoy, both in terms of getting our public to understand our bond program better, but also to create new spaces. so thank you, phil for being here as well. our port commissioners extend not to present but to past for

commissioners and he knows that and i saw mike and others, because it takes generations of people to create things along the water front. it is incredibly expensive to restore a lot of our piers and monique is the first person to know that intimately and historically but we do have persons and entities that want to continue this fabulous water front experience and to make investments, where there is jefferson street, brandon wharf and pier, 30, 32 and the exporatorium this wonderful opportunity. i want to thank, past and present port commissioners, and i see them here now. that they have earned the title of being the greatest stewarts of our water front and so thank

you for your ongoing effort to do this. [ applause ] >> and the work incredibly well with the other agencies. i know that because this is pier 39 and one of the most iconic travel destinations, i understand that is why, john martin was here, because while he flies airplanes he is part of an incredible transportation center and we all know that and we all share in that wonderful experience with being clearly, the best nation for so many, millions of people, every day. and as we do this, we reinvent and reinvest and find other reasons for people to enjoy themselves here. and those projects like the exporatorium and like the bay lights and renewed effort to create more water-base theds transportation to compliment the bridges that we build. we will create more bridges on the international level for our city. so, all of that in the context

of a great anniversary, 150 years, there is going to be throughout this year, more stories to be told about what this 150 years means to our city, because, there is a lot of generations of people who came to this city, many, many years, built communities, built their small business and their livelihood and hopes and helped us to establish the fisherman's wharf and help us to establish all of the maritime that they have created life times of reasons of why people want to continue visiting our city and we need to acknowledge all of that history. and all of it has not been easy, there have been difficult things and we have had fights over what is proper, and what is not proper, but we have always had in our sites in all of these different struggles, the success of our city, the golden gate bridge and the hope

that it brings to many generations of immigrants that is what our city is built on and the honor that we have with all of our labor partners who also jimmy herman and the cruise ship terminal that they are honoring and built it through years of generations of struggle but also great celebrations that we have. and so this is wonderful year, and 150 years of history. let's learn it all and continue to appreciating, but let's look forward to the next 150 years, because we are building the infrastructure to do that. we are laying the foundation to do that. we are creating partnerships among the agencies, but also public, private partnership to create it, because i will tell you that someone who is going to invest, $250,000 to $200 million on the piers it is an incredible to the faith that they have in the city and it is about investing confidence and

why we exist in such a great wonderful city and so thank you monique and the port commission and to all of your wonderful partners and staff for working so hard with the entities like pier 39 and others who will continue to invest in the confidence here and along the water front and thank you to the labor and all of your partners thank you to all of the other agents for being here, happy 150th anniversary, to our great city. >> thank you, we wish to continue your success. also, here with us today is the president of the board of supervisors, and the supervisor from our very own district three, david chiu. [ applause ] >> thank you, tailor. mr. mayor, if it is okay, could you and i just declare it a city holiday today so we don't have to go back to work and hang out here on pier 39?

>> i want to thank all of you who are the incredible diversity of the community that is the port. the community that our water front peers and our wharfs. this is the story of our city. our port has really defined our past as i think that we all know, the first 49ers came right here to this spot to build this city, during world war ii, our military ships were recommissioned, right here from our port. we know that our friends from labor as the mayor said, built our city, starting here with this water fort and this is the story of our city and we also know that the water front in the port defines who we are and it is amazing in 2013, if you just walk along the water front in my district, you will start at the fisherman's wharf street scape improvements and to the cruise ship terminal that we

just cut the ribbon for and you walk down to the terminals and the ports where america's cup will entertain a million, international visitors within a few months. walk down a couple more blocks to piers 15, 17, where we are going to see a half a million kids come to go all the way down to what we know that will be the next site of the warrior's arena and down to the ballpark and the water phone and the port is our city's present and it is our city story. but we also know that this is a story that is going to continue and one of the things that we love in pier 39. if you come here any day you will see the boys and girls playing with their parents who will come back a few years later as teenagers and young adults. and young men and women, flirting on the peers, dating each other, who will come back a few years later for their honeymoon, who will come back a few years later with their kids. and so, the cycle of the story

of our city continues and that i know that in 50 years when we are celebrating the 200th birthday of this blai, when monique's grand daughter and ed lee's great grandson, are helping to run this city, they will look back on to the city leaders today, who are represented by all of you. and say, you know, in 2013, our city forefathers or city foremothers thought it appropriate to invest in our port and make sure that we are building a 21st century port to last, happy birthday. thank you. >> i think that we all look forward to that moyer lee, administration. and finally, our good friend and dynamic leader, the executive director of the port of san francisco, monique moyer. [ applause ] >> thank you. >> okay, so raise your hands, how many of you would like to

be me today? i am so humble and honored, what a great fortune to land my term right on the 150th year because the one thing that i will tell you about being 150 years old if you realize that your time is really short and insignificant, and if i were to dare to count how many port directors there have been before and how many there will be after it will become more of a second time, but, i get to be here with all of you and so many of you who have been here at this water front for decades, all of you from fisherman's wharf thank you for coming today, because of you it is our water front that has evolved ahead of everywhere else in the world this is a perfect place to celebrate. because here we have a little bit of something of everything, in fisherman's wharf. it has been part of the port since its inception that is how we ate, and how we did commerce and how we paid for the fish we ate with gold but nonetheless we subsifted on fish and the

agriculture that was born around the bay and san francisco to feed the miners who were farmers and to create a new economy for san francisco and haven't we brilliantly and completely made new economies and so many knew that we have to name the latest new economy of the economy of invention and creativity and isn't that what we were doing in the gold rush and so it was stunning to be here with all of you who have made this possible. in 1900, the community worked with us to move up here in this area of a water front, and more of a lagoon area where we could congregate better and save the area where fisherman's wharf had been for the commerce that was needed to sustain our city. as the most of the logistics changed and as the needs changed as a community it was fisherman's wharf that helped us to envision what could be the future. in almost 50 years ago, the discussions began, how to

enlifen our water front and how to keep it a working water front as we have here with all of us, as visitors, as those folks who are enjoying the great suit that they have to offer and the wonderful open space and also the working ferries that are helping to transport us around the bay and are here for us in times of emergency and celebration and so that is bha we stand for in san francisco, and this is a terrific place for us to celebrate, and i could not be more honored to be here with all of you, to celebrate those generations that went before us. and as mayor lee, and president chiu said so eloquently, those generations that will come after us, it is a tremendous honor, and i thank you for being here to share in that honor and please happy birthday, to all of you, and to the board of san francisco. [ applause ] thank you, monique. >> and now the moment that we have all been waiting for.

the birthday cake. >> i would like the speakers to gather on the cake and lead us all to sing happy birthday to the board of san francisco. ♪ [ applause ] test,

test, test, test, test, test test >> good morning and welcome to the special trans joint authority board directors meeting for july 1st. can we take roll please. yes good morning
