have 15 days as required for public inspection before you consider voting on them. what they all have in common are three year terms so they would start this july 2014 and go through june of 2017. they all have -- they basically follow the city pattern of four wage increase which is three percent starting in october. 3.25 percent in the second contemporary starting in october. and then some where on the rain of 2.25 to 3.25 based on cpi in july of the third year. for mea, the the machinist and the electricians, moving them to standard city health contribution model which is where the city pays 93 percent of the cost for an employee or employee plus one health

option or 83 percent for an employee plus to or more option. the fi ucon tract is -- the contractors paying 96 percent for employees plus one and 80 percent for employee plus two or more. a difference that the city agreed to for the rest of the contract because most fiu members are lowest wage earners in the city. there were some other specific wage increases to address equity issues and different aspects of these contracts and the machinists union change of note was eliminating the cap of employees who can work on the weekend and

we introduced our continued language to reduce pay rather than a being off which works when employees are home not working, that limits our ability to deliver our service. the total cost ' impact for the four agreement is $6.4 million in the first fiscal year, and $9.1 million in the second for a total of 15.4 million for the two year budget. once we have the conclusion of the other three agreements, welcome back with a rebalancing plan for our budget because as you know, we didn't anticipate exactly these numbers in the budget that you approved back in april, so these agreements will be available online at sftm.com by 5:00 today and before i move on, i'll be happy to answer any

questions about labor agreement. >> one more. arbitration on saturday, is there any experience -- do we have any experience -- an arbitrator making a decision and the union not going along with it somehow? >> yeah, that happens not infrequently. it happens the last time with the same collective bargaining unit where there was a decision reached either in mediation or arbitration and went to vote of the membership, the membership vote it's down, then the arbitrator imposed it. so that's not uncommon. >> i think it's more like continuing a sick out if they don't like the decisions of the arbitrator. i'm talking about director heinicke's point there. i think if that would happen, if there would be a continuing sick out with after the arbitrator's decision, that would be serious and we would need to consider other actions. >> we can ask legal advise from

council in closed session. the two are somewhat unrelated, sick out is illegal regardless. and the arbitrator rules is -- >> it seems to me that would move it to a different level. >> again, a sick out -- either before or after an arbitrator's decision is illegal. in closed session, we can get advice from council on what our legal avenues might be. >> i'm interested in that as well and supporting whatever we can do to get the service back and up and running. people deserve it. >> that's our goal. i'll say the president of the union sent out a communication to union members today urging them to go back to

work, so i had a discussion with him earlier today and i think if there's one point of an agreement, at least from our conversation is that we all want operators to get back to work so we can provide service to the people of san francisco, so we're hopeful we're on a path towards that and we're hopeful we'll see better service tomorrow. >> a couple of quick things. on may 22nd, the california transportation foundations 25th annual award ceremony at that siragusa mown eeshgs the bike share was named pedestrian bicycle to jekt of the area. the foundation recognizes all those from the state and private sector all year. they were recognized and that includes the air district, the mtc, and red wood city, san mateo county, and santa clara and the mmta. the

bay bridge, new east pedestrian path was also a finalist, but we're happy that the bike share was named the project of the year. we see it as a project and we do it with partnership with the region. it has taken off mostly here in san francisco. i think we have half the bikes at 90 percent of the usage, so great. kudos to keith who is our director, and charlie rim, and the core team who have ushered bike share here in san francisco. so great recognition out there. i wanted to just note that we had a pretty significant -- pretty significant work and

work with cal trans over memorial weekend. it was great work by our enforcement team to try to minimize the impacts of that. and what we're doing now with them related 280 is re-stripe the lanes from the san jose off ramp. this is a project that has been championed my supervisor wiener and neighborhood residents to make that a safer corridor for biking and walking. right now it's a two lane off ramp and if anyone has tried to ride a bicycle there, you feel like you're riding on the freeway. it's not a comfortable place to ride. mayor lee and a number of us rode that stretch on ride your bike to workday. it has opinion under

way for a decade. i know our former director sustainable streets and d pt has worked on this for years and supervisor wiener finally has been making progress with cal trans. there are some street closures associated with this in the vicinity of that off ramp, but we very much look forward to a much better and safer bike and pedestrian as a result. and finally, our central subway tunnel machines are arriving in north beach. we are planning an event to celebrate this really huge mile stone. this is the combination, not the finish, you really the high point of the 230 something million dollar contact to bore the contracts through market through the city and to china town and north beach. we'll be having an event with the community and

the public and as many of you that can be there for the historic day at some point in the next couple of weeks but a huge mile stone for the project that continues to proceed extraordinarily well. that concludes my report. >> thank you. members of the public. >> yes. >> only one, herbert winer. >> if there's members of the public who wish to address the board to riskin. >> two things. i would like to have a report of late buses, switch backs as part of your report. i'd like to see that added and i think the public and the board should know it. the second thing i want to say in light of the last two days from my own perspective, i've just got a review of the project and

what it will come to. thank you. >> anyone else wish to address the board on the director's report. >> thank you. >> moving onto item 8, citizen advisory council report, mr. chairman, they'll be no report today. item 9, general public comment, this is an opportunity for the public to address subjects but not on today's calendar. we'll start with ron followed by herbert and followed by patrice m. >> good afternoon, smith. >> good afternoon members of the board and thank you for having me to present this afternoon. it's a difficult issue that i'm coming with. the classic f-line, favorite of tourist and residents have become a source of imitation for all riders and the tool in the war against the poor. in recent weeks, i have witnessed four to six fare checkers in as many as three

san francisco police officers board the f-line, remove a bare chested barefoot homeless man, forcing him to stand in the cold as he struggled to produce id and be ticketed $110. i have witnessed another man lounge from the car and across market and van ness intersection to avoid such a fine. i sat next to a latino woman from modesto brought to tears as she struggled to produce id. across the aisle her husband found his transfer and the driver acknowledged they had paid. they had come to the city to visit relatives. i have seen four to six fare checkers swarm around a woman with a questionable id strung around her neck and they picked up the it from her chest to examine it. she seemed unable

to answer. seemed in fact emotionally disturbed. her and tourism watched. how much i wonder does the city pay these four to six checker and one to three police officers to insure $2 fares. in what universe is that responsible and in what society is it humane. the director of housing opportunity has said he spends hours trying to expunge these fines from homeless people's records because they cannot pay. >> thank you. >> sir, that is your time. thank you. >> we'll be happy to see that. if you gave us something in write, right. >> yes, you have. >> winer, patrice, erik scott. >> herbert winer. i believe

there is one member missing from the board. i believe there is one position that is open. since one person quit, i'm sorry i can't recall her name. but if there is a new member that's going to sit on the poured, -- sit on the board, i would like it to be a motorist because they're not represented on the mta board. you have two members of the bicyclist, but no one represents a motorist, so they can weigh what is happening through the motorist of this city. currently parking spots are gobbled up like space and we need to have the motorist point of view. actually, mr. behind ski sympathized me two years ago and i hope it remains the same. i would like to suggest that a motorist fill in the empty sit. >> every time i go home and talk to my wife, i here the

motorist view loud and clear, so i have sympathy. >> patrice. >> [inaudible]. >> that as not my suggestion. >> patrice m followed by erik scott. is patrice here? >> yeah. >> okay. >> good afternoon, directors. my full name is patrick musud. i'm a public attorney. i'm going to ask the board a few simple questions, just a request for public information. if you'd like to remain silent, i can understand. i'm going to ask these rhetorically. are you aware that the city enforces tickets that are voidable because they don't list the last four of the vin. i take my your silence that you know this or you're refusing to answer. are you aware that your mta gives 21 days to

correct parking. and you give a grace period of an additional 21 days giving times to krek the first of these citations. are you aware that the ssmta issue five such expired citations so they can collect on all five. sometimes even within 41 days. i do have ssmta admissions in this regard, official documents. now, are you also aware that you've been served multiple times with multiple state and federal subpoena for public documents. i've also recently served at federal is -- subpoena yesterday and i was hoping you got that yesterday as ms. boomer received a copy. there were facts to the city in

defense attorneys in racketeers, c 13 for which a motion to dismiss was served on me this morning. now, for some reason, i am not getting electronic notices when things are being served nor in paper form timely. >> thank you, sir. >> i'll leave these subpoena. >> erik scott. he's the last to turn in a speaker's card. >> good afternoon, scott. mr. scott. >> good afternoon. my name is erik p scott. i have been living in san francisco for over 25 years without a car. the people who are fortunate enough to be able to

use private community shuttles made it to work and the rest of us are not so fortunate. muni is essential for many of us and it's essential for me to get to my frequent medical appoints, so get to my pharmacy, to get the medications that keep my heart beating closer to normal. this is life and death. i'm not exaggerating all that month. for the driver's who showed up for work, [inaudible], that's japanese for thank you. for the rest of them, i understand that the cd c said it's epidemic, and some of them call in sick and given that's not the case, and a half and two thirds don't show up for work, i think they're faking it and my advice

is fire them. fire them all. and look at expanding alternatives to muni. they're allowing the other public agencies, such as golden gate transit and sam trans to pick up and discharge freely within the city. expand the opportunities that are afforded to the commuter shuters with a minimum amount of government regulations and look at contracting out the motor coach service to some other company. preferably in the union company and it doesn't have to be something leak the oleo. disney can do a better job. >> next speaker. >> kim, and he's the last person to turn in a speaker card. >> good afternoon.

>> good afternoon. i am kim. i'm a resident of san francisco and i'm a daily muni user. if it were up to me, i would double supervise wiener's -- i occupy a seat appointed by the board of supervisor and work in social service agencies immigration. so it's the last two that i like to speak to you about. i'll only address local homeless boards funding opportunities. we are the lead entity for the san francisco continue of care and at our last proposal, we received $21 million with i we distributed at different cbo to prevent homelessness and solve homelessness issues so we're expanding this money over here and ssfmta are

issues tickets to homeless tickets which they can't pay. we had a client -- she was 19 years old and she had been homeless since she was 15. we found her house and she qualified for everything except those tickets have been turned over to a collection agency and it took five months to take care of it. we have a homeless veteran who went to ft. myers for a checkup and he didn't have the money and he explained the situation to the driver and he said, you can ride. and he was -- the ticket agents came on and he was issued a ticket. so the board has been inviting, ssfmta has opinion trying to come up with solutions. we're spending money pulling this direction and you're spending money pulling this direction. it makes no sense.

i want to issue ssmta to come to the board and join us with coming up with solutions. thank you. >> one thing, mr. scott said that occurred to me, i know that bart has been helping out our situation the last couple of days as we did with them a couple of times last year. to -- do we have arrangements with golden gate? speaker: it's something that we piloted during the america's cup. i did talk to the directors of both those agencies yesterday. it's something that if we were in a more retracted situation, we can manage and the logistics with making that workable in a short time period. it's something that is always available for us to

consider. >> i wonder if it would be a good idea to explore the idea and having an mou in place. the other agencies could use our services at some point too. members, look into that. okay. thank you very much. with consent calendar. >> 10 point h has been removed and 10.3 has been severed at the request of a member of the public and i know of no other item to be severed and discussed separately. speaker: motion to approve. >> is there a second. >> all in favor say aye. >> is ordered. >> 10.3 authorizing the director execute amendment to a contract with consulting for environmental service for the transit effective amount in the amount of $205,000 amount and not to exceed $2.5

million with no change to the contract. herbert winer. >> just one comment, i hope when this additional money is spent evaluation, it includes addressing the needs of the disabled and seniors because under this proposal transit effective project, people are going to be required to walk up to a quarter of mile to the bus. now, that can have severe impact on some people. i think people try to board the bus and they've had a hard time doing it and i think to myself, how can they walk a quarter of a mile to the bus stop. this has to be evaluated as part of

your study, and i strongly suggest that you employee the [inaudible] of the department of public health in one of the positions. [inaudible]. pause -- because eventually you're going to run into this problem down the road and you owe it the disabled and the seniors to do this. and i would like to see the internal operations and also their daily operational processes. to see how these can be improved. i think it would be beneficial to have an outside agency do this. so i think these are important aspects should be included with a sum of the money that's going to be spent for it. thank you. >> thank you. >> is there a second.

>> second. >> for discussion, all in favor say aye. >> so ordered. >> a discussion regarding the bench marking public transportation. >> okay. director, riskin, is this you you? >> we asked the city services auditor to provide this presentation. they took a bench mark study and other systems around the country that had some pretty interesting findings and i thought that the board and the public would be interested in hearing them, so peg stevenson is here with her staff. >> good afternoon, staff. the charter -- the city service auditor causes for our office to do data analysis and calls for bench marking of san francisco public services to other agencies so

that's the context this falls into. we've done reports on the department of public works, the jail population, the recreation and park department, and the library, and mta was issued in march. it's the most recent. muni has a row puft performance and an effort of its own of operations. that's not this. this is about bench marking. and it's interesting stakeholders and leadership, and i think you'll find the contents interesting. this is rapka who did the presentation and he'll walk you through it and thank you for having us. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon, members of the board, director riskin. >> we want to compare the cost of light rail boss and trolley

bus services. we generally follow the methodology outlined in transit research report number 141 and measurement in pure comparison in the industry. it's a corporate effort, national economy and educational and research association. published in 2010 by the national academy. it's for the methodology for the measure of transportation and an approach for selecting pure agents and it was designed to serve as a practical process for selecting pure agencies based on defined and readily area. the methodology went rounds of review and testing by local agencies and state departments of transportation.

this is up to 14 pier friendship factors to identify agencies that's similar to the target agencies. the screening factors narrow down candidates and the process involves the difference between the target agencies and the candidates based on the remaining 14 factors. this is combined to a single score and those with the lowest score is the most appropriate piers. >> after applying these through agencies, the one emerged as the most suitable are the ones listed here. this chart and the two on the next slide are intended to give you an idea of how closely match the pier is to the mta. the mix of transit mode -- the structure in size, its budget and the aspect of its day-to-day management. agencies that operate similar transit is suitable in bench

marking analysis. this chart shows the trips that each agency carries by transit. you can see that the piers are similar to mta and the predominant mode are bus and light rail as shown my the dark blue scales. it's similar to mta accord to go the other factors and one of the few transits that operate trolley bus services. annual operating expenses shows indicators. jerry you can accord to go the measures, they're -- we compared san francisco to its piers according to 20 performance

and the other topics you see here. i'd like to highlight beginning with operating cost of mode with transit. this figure shows the total cost broken down by motor transportation. mta is in the middle, it has higher cost. for both light rail and trolley bus rail. for example, mta operates nine fully staff, and newer has been able to operate with less staffing. the likely hood for mta higher cost, it has more vehicles than its piers. you can see that in this chart which shows the average numbers of vehicles and mid and weekday service. on a week day, mta operates betwee
