today's hearing on this subject. 6th back they're there i've learned a lot. i have two questions to propose for discussion after i'm finished. number one since the city attorney's office isn't here how does that effect the hearing and i was wondering where the department of public health gave a presentation to the committee on this subject since their supposedly one of the most important organizations in the city. and also to keep my time short to make a suggestion to this committee is since the city has a reputation for talking about subjects outside of the city and county of san francisco maybe this committee might consider why 1984 has arrived and it

become the president rather than nixon and secondly i'd like to say a matter of policy that in nelson mandela and harvey milk sat on this committee they'd have safari more aggressive agenda >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. i'm the department director for the access of the mayor's office on disability. i'm here - we actually 0 tier two department i'm happy to say that our office is a big supporter of civil rights in more ways than language access

we provided the captioning for the folks who are hard of hearing and to provide the translated materials. we believe that civil rights are issues that need to be addressed in immigrant communities and he would elders that have fundamental disabilities as well. i want to share our offices support with o sea and looking forward to work with them >> great points to expand our access to everyone. anyone else who wants to speak from the public. seeing none, public comment is closed or madam chair can we close it >> yes, this was a heartening item so action is needed.

supervisor march would you leukemia to make a motion >> yeah. i want to thank the chair for this and all the community reps i appreciate all the time and work. especially the department reps that came today. i want to continue to see the language access as a priority for the city. i think lots of great points were made and a putting our money where our mouth is in priorities to the city. i see how we're a disrupting english culture by helping our folks and it's great that san francisco and oakland p are leading the way on this. i want to say that by a number of the points raised increasing

the translation and bilingual staff hiring was critical and also utilizing partnership and expanding the outreach by departments is incredible as well. i think highway the city complies with the departments it's uneven and i think better consistency. and also continuing the great partnerships and a leadership programs by occ with community based groups is critical. and as a final step the points about considering the tier two departments this should be tier one departments is critical as well. i'm looking forward to working with others from occ and the

community in advancing some of these improvements to strengthen our language access ordinance and our language policies in the city. i'm looking forward to working with you on the further strengthening of our policies >> i appreciate the gratitude and all our partners so supervisor mar do you want to file this item to the call of the chair. >> let's move to file and is there another motion? this has been filed. madam clerk read the next agenda item and that's it >> that's this meeting is adjourned everyone. >> right at test,

effects of outreach programs staff responded that the stakeholders were interested in all funds for the project and were unsure which revenues they prefer but for disrespect they didn't not want to be taxed to generate an additional of revenue. item 8 preferred option to replace the existing bridge over the street this passed by a margin. and the c ac concerns were based on the community interaction

8 the i beg your pardon design to be with the connector road to replace the existing corridor the bridge over the street. those are our consent items >> thank you. i wanted to mention that ail commissioners have been reached anti to an those items and we're going to consent agenda today because of the long, long time it would have taken to consider them and the urgency of the items. my questions? >> i see none we have presentations on those items; is that right? i know there's the quinton bridge replacement and some items before us

bridge happens to be the underpass for the future of the cal extraction to i'd like to very briefly go to the letter i wrote to the committee and highlight the main points. there are many issues including the fact that a station couldn't possibly function without on there passes and the design encroaches the future station access ramps. everyone agrees there are technical challenges but we've shown staff two different construction techniques including like the one in london. the next is for the road specifically the miss

appropriation of $4 million in fta funds. and $3.3 million in prop k funds that were approved by the voters not to have a viable station. and last point that staff is unaware of a funding envelope in the region of $30 million that can be immediately used to start building the station including the adjacent quinton street track. in closings i respectfully request a 3 month stay of execution on the station underpass while we reach out to it bridge reconstruction experts that will be on time and budget >> thank you. anyone else on the public who would like to speak.

seeing none, public comment is closed. ms. lombardy could we discuss it a little bit. i know that supervisor cowen is very supportive of moving this forward and i see in the transportation slides there's one package of the public concerns >> we propose that our citizen advisory committee we've responded to him. >> good morning transportation planner with the authority. i do have a presentation if you're interested but i can go over the key concerns we heard from the community last fall and what we've done since then there are 4 major issues.

first of all, a couple of issues with the design of the road. we've redesigned the intersection of the connector road that would provided alternative direction. the connector road would serve all the same connections that quinton street does today. the second is providing u7b8gd landscaping and we're coordinating with the property owners that would represent on enhancement over the exiting quinton street. the third is to coordinated the schedule of the project and the connector road so we're

minimizing the closure of the road by building the connector road first before we close the existing quinton street and that brings it down to less than 6 months. and the last item we've heard a lot of concern about the bay view it's important to involve local businesses and folks in the contracting and job opportunity. so we've worked on a estrange to make sure we're including strong disadvantaged businesses and we'll be doing really intensive effort in the bay view to make sure people are aware of those opportunities and those are the 4 key ways we've responded to communities. thank you for responding to the

committee and the process. colleagues any questions. okay. thank you. can we move this item forward without objection. thank you. ms. chang let me just say i want to thank sftv for broadcasting us. item number 9 recommended the appointment of two committee members >> thank you. we have a staff report. >> good morning. i'm with the authority and it begins on page 67 by the way of the background each member serves a two year term and the plans and programs that can be recommended and the appointment of committee members neither the staff nor the committee makes any recommendation of the

appointment. i can see the list of folks to be considered for the appointments and i can see all of our current members. you must be scorn before the committee for your qualifications. we have two vacancies from the expiration of jacqueline sax and another lady. pursuant to the article 3. ms. saxs it seeking reappointment and the other lady is not. with that we can take any questions >> thank you, ms. garko you repeat those two seats specifically what those seats are. >> as i know the assistant

advisory seats are not district specific but the two seats in question. i know that commissioner breed who couldn't be here today wants a continuance on the d 5 vacancy but there's not one, however, we have another gentleman who has comments. let me just think about this. we have the recommendations from staff on addressing the term limits and that's coming up after this discussion. generally, we open up to allow any of the candidates to give a short presentation; is that right? >> yes. >> does anyone else have any comments and a oh, and to

clarify our regular citizens advisory committee has two terms. >> so this is the advisory committee? >> okay. i see jackie sax here and is there anyone who is a candidate here try to keep your comments within two minutes please. good morning. i'm jackie sax i've about that on the committee since i was appointed citizens back in june of 1997. i'm the longest serving member on this committee. i reauthority prop k and i was on the projects in the district very involved in transportation. and i saw the hi i saw prop b

supervisor advisory committee and the terms not to exceed two years. >> thank you. good morning committee members i'm with the authority. this item gossips on page 74 and it's an action to limit the terms. at last month there was a lot of talk about the project and out of those discussions the term expirations came up. the previous authority they have two term already but they have other project focus and thus far they haven't had terms.

the two in existence now is the business rapid transmitted bus which is in the phase so it's not relevant here but the staff recommendation is to apply the two years and to adopt that policy that applies to all future projects. 8 of the 11 seats have members that have been serving for longer than two years and we're looking at september to either reappoint the current members or new members for those seats. that concludes my presentation >> i just wanted to thank you. again and in the interests of having the most active c ac is

the reason we're making those important changes. and it's not only important to the richest monday district but district 2, 3, 5 and 6 it's a citywide concern so i'm really looking forward to passing those recommendations and making sure we have a really engaged c ac as well. anyone from the public want to speak? >> great seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor kim >> i want to indict to supervisor moore's the transportation authority staff for responding so quickly at the last committee meeting and i'm happy to support this. >> colleagues can we move this forward.
