right, no [inaudible]. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> any discussion among the commissioners? >> i'll start. does that mean the permit that has been approved gets issued, that would result the violation? >> yeah, the permit was approved on the may 6. it's a [inaudible] -- >> i find that strange, but to your question, if it is issued and they get the work done timely and get the permit signed up it will clear the violation. >> and in question to the owners, when are you going to pick up the permit? >> come up to the microphone

please. >> the reason why it isn't picked up yet is because the original contractors don't want to do the work anymore so we have to find new contractors. we're getting bids and hopefully they should be here this week. >> commissioner walker. >> once you have those permits, what is your estimate as to the time necessary to complete the work? >> the two contractors that we have right now told us that it would take about two weeks to prepare the job, meaning they'd have to prepare the permit, order the material -- >> bottom-line, how long? >> basically somewhere between 4 to 6 weeks after they secure the materials. >> so total time? >> probably a month to month-and-a-half. >> okay. thank you. >> one last question. not the

i would like mr. robins so return back. >> it's my pleasure to introduce zeer, street construction within the streets division who is responsible from the safe path of travel program. a little bit of background. when a contractor need to work on the street or the sidewalk, he has to go through a permit process, and construction routing group provides him with criteria on where he can block traffic, where he can block the sidewalk, so that traffic, bicycles, transit and those with disabilities and pedestrian can travel through the work zone safely. that requires a lot of enforcement. his role is to visit these construction cites and insure that safe work zones and adequate pass of travel are available for all users. he enforces contractor compliance with a

traffic control requirement to provide -- to ensure public safety. he has been working with the city for 23 years and he has experience with difficult situations and revolving conflicts. he responds promptly from complaints from the city staff or from the public due to -- he takes appropriation action to rectify the situation. he inspires and maintains positive working relationships with the public, with contractors, and partner agencies through his ted cajun, thoroughness, flexibility and enthusiasm. he's a great asset to the ssfta and the city as a whole and he's brought family members today to help celebrate. thank you. >> come forward.

manager. he's a big part of this program as well and i'd like to acknowledge him. and thank you to everybody else that showed up. all my friends and families and jerry for your great presentation. >> thank you. [ applause ]. >> next i'd like to ask our enforcement director cammy to come forward to recognize extraordinary action by one of our great parking patrol officers. >> good afternoon, chair, person nolan and rubke. on behalf of the enforcement team, i'd like to express my thanks and present a special recognition to parking control anthony lee. on thursday, september 26th of last year, parking

control officer anthony lee went beyond the call of duty. when he assisted a woman who was being assaulted. he was patrolling his route when he came upon a vehicle collision at the 1100 block of lagoona street. and he noticed a man standing near the party involved in the collision and he asked them to step away if he wasn't involved in the accident or did not witness the accident. and the individual complied by stepping away but did not leave the area. pcl had both parties exchange information and went back to patrolling the area. as he continued on his route he heard a woman screaming calling for help. the calls were coming from the area he left. lee observed the woman involved in the collision being assaulted by the man who he

repeatedly asked to step away from the collision. lee drove back to the 1100 block of laguna and yelled at the man to stop. the man did not comply and continued to aggressively assault the woman. and lee put himself between the two and separating them. and at that time the man fell backwards onto the ground. the woman was lying on the sidewalk in a daze and semi unconscious state and he told her not to move. on behalf of the division, i would like to thank lee for his quick reaction, hero i can act. if lee had not reacted and got involved in this incident, the woman possibly could have opinion more seriously injured. it should be noted that the woman

sent a nice letter of appreciation to lee thanking him for saving her life. so we're proud to have lee as a member of the enforcement team, and i'm extremely pleased to present you a special recognition today. lee, come on up. [ applause ]. >> con -- congratulations mr. lee for your work and the work you do everyday. you have your family members here. >> i have my immediate family, my wife and my son kobe. i have my mother teresa, my grandmother, edna. i have my in-laws, collin and lewy. i have my brother and sister in-law creg and elaine.

>> thank you. [ applause ]. >> thank you board for the recognition and this award. >> well deserved. thank you, sir. [ applause ]. >> thank you mr. chair. so i wanted to start by just acknowledging the last couple of days have been extraordinarily difficult days for muni riders but many in the city has been impacted by the sick out that has happened starting yesterday morning where it's unfortunate, not a good couple of days for the city and for muni but we're grateful for the patience of our riders. some of the feedback we've gotten acknowledging the great

work of the operator who's have come to work and rest of the organization whose salvages and tried to support the service has opinion tremendous. the muni riders are a resilient bunch and grateful for them. a great effort by john and his staff within transit and can disand communication and jerry and his staff and enforcement. really folks coming together to minimize the impact. because of how muni is to this city, the last couple of days has been difficult for all of san francisco so i'm grateful for what our employees have done, those who will work and particularly for our riders. it's particularly frustrating because we as an

agency have been negotiating in good faith with transport workers union, and local 258 that represents the operators and we have negotiated with all of the rest of the collected bargaining units that represent our employees. i did want to clarify a few things that have been entirely clear. it's clear everybody that stuck out is an illegal action. it's illegal in many different places, but including in the existing collective bargaining agreement we have with the transportation unit. there's no strike clause, but it -- we have reached out in writing to the union and to operators

informing them of that and the consequences of that. we are starting to see a little bit of turn around in terms of attendance coming around and prospects look optimistic, but tomorrow should be much better, but i know there's been significant hardship in the meantime. but in terms of a couple of things that have not been clear. the first is the city charter prescribes a process under which all collective bargaining is done for the city and county not special to this union or to muni but for all the labor organizations with whom we have collective bargaining union. that process is that we negotiate in good faith until we go to in pass and enter into mediation and that's governed by a panel that consist of three members and
