comment, public comment is closed. item no. 2, excuse me public comment is closed on item 2 madame clerk could you call item 3. >> item no. 3, state and federal legislative update. this is an information/action item. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> mark regrets he was not able to be here today, but i will try to step in his place. this month, the packet starting on page 7 of the packet basically the session is over now and so pack yet covers what the governor has signed or vetoed as an overview of the legislative session. the new session starts december 1st. so we'll take a hiatus until then and most of the statutes will take effect as of january 1, except for emergency measures of we're pleased to announce the governor signed ammiano bill that firewalls transportation authority's functions from the new role as treasure island

mobility management agency and would like to thank assembly member amaino and mark watts for tireless effort on the bill and since its with an urgency item, it is in law right now. another bill that we were tracking closely and are excited that got signed was sb 1077, a bill that will form a road user charge technical advisory committee to study the potential implementation and pilot of a road user charge or vehicle miles traveled fee in california, building on the efforts ongoing in washington and oregon and looking for an alternative t or to the state gas tax. another deis de de saulnier bill for bicycle infrastructure. this would require two-thirds vote of the public, but could raise, as much as $2.5 million a year in san francisco.

and then finally ab 11 3 the tang bill that created a new class of bicycle infrastructure, so separated right-of-way bicycle infrastructure was signed and required caltrans to establish safety design criteria for those new infrastructure. on the other hand several safety bills that we were in support of tracking over the year were vetoed by the governor, that includes abc15 32 specifically relating to pedestrians and bicyclists. the governor's veto message indicated that he thought the increase of penalties was an unfair burden and that the existing penalties were enough. so this is something there was a lot of momentum behind the bills this year and anticipate next year this will also come up. and of course, given vision zero and other efforts woring with sfmta and the mayor's office to move those types of

bills forward a. as the next session ramps up we'll bring the transportation authority bills to you and working in coordination with city partners on developing that. next year in addition, to the pedestrian and bicycle safety bill we anticipate that the the legislature is going to folk on california's funding crisis for transportation and in particular mark has said they will focus on bills that reduce the voter threshold for measures for transportation and other local revenue measures. with that, i'm happy to answer any questions. commissioner tang has a question. >> that you.are, not really a question, but although i completely understand why governor brown had vetoed certain pieces of legislation, especially about increased fines, i have said this to staff, ta staff as well, but looking forward to working with the tato figure out how we can improve safety around our

school zones. i know we lowered the speed limits in school zones in san francisco, but there would be more done whether infrastructure wise or more things and so in any case looking forward to working with the ta on that. >> thank you. let's take public comment on this item. public comment is now open. seeing no public comment. public comment is closed. thank you for your presentation. madame clerk, is there a motion for this item? >> it is informationally. >> thank you. could you please call the next item. >> award of you athree-year professional services contract with an option to extend for two additionat one-year periods to sptj consulting in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for commuter network and

maintenance services. >> good morning, miss wong. >> this is a routine administration item. it's a contract for transportation authority's computer network and maintenance and services which include desktop computers hardware, software, our computers, our phones, our servers and data backup and retrievals and disaster recovery preparation. the current it provider right now is on-site at least once a week and comes as necessary when issues come up. when we do have smaller issues we try to triage that within the office, with the help of the deputy director for technology and data analysis. we issue and rfp back in july 30th and with the goal of 25% lbe and dbe, local business enterprise and disadvantaged business enterprise goals. we received two proposals. a

third proposal actually came in, but came in after the submission deadline. we advertised the rfp at the chronicle, examiner, the bay company and we also included this in the ta's list of small disadvantaged services. the bay area and cultural chamber of commerces and small business councils. the internal panel consists of three members from various divisions within the transportation authority and all three members felt they would like to award the contract to sptj the current consultant we have here. we have had two large projects such as the office move to market street and we just

recently went live with with our enterprise accounting system. they actually proposed that 83% on dbe -- we have brought this item before the cac, on october 1st and there was a motion of support, a unanimous motion of support for the item. we have budgeted this in fiscal year 14-15 adopted transportation budget for future years we would ensure there would be prop k funds available to meet the needs. with that i am seeking a recommendation for pay 3-year professional services contract with sptj. with that i am happy to answer questions and i also have someone from sptj to answer

questions. >> the company that missed the 2:00 deadline -- >> what we actually go an extra step at the ta. in our building we have a pretty heavy-duty security system and place somebody before the security to receive these submissions. so no one actually has to go through and spend extra time. they are not black-listed from any transportation authority, but we need to be fair to the other people who did turn the rfp in and only consider those and not consider the one that came in late. >> understand that completely. do we just double-check to make sure there were no technologically glitches that prevented? >> yes, in this case, the firm said they have traffic issues. >> okay. >> that is why they were

delayed. >> that is too bad. next time. well, seeing there are no members on this body that have comments. let's open for public comment on the item. i would like to entertain public comment on item no. 4. seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. thank you, madame clerk i believe this is an action item. item no. 4. >> item no. 4 commissioner chiu. >> aye. >> commissioner cohen. >> aye. >> commissioner farrell. >> aye. >> commissioner tang? >> aye. >> commissioner farrell? >> aye >> this item passes. >> please call item no. 5. >> introduction of new items, this is an information item. >> colleagues, are there any new items for introduction? seeing none, we're take public comment on this item. seeing that there is no public comment, public comment is closed.

i feel very blessed that i have been able to spend the last 31 years of my life doing it my way, thinking about things better interesting to me, and then pursuing them. there are a lot of different artists that come here to work, mostly doing aerial work. kindred spirits, so to speak. there is a circus company that i have been fortunate enough to work with the last couple of years. i use elements of dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. a lot of the work is content- based, has a strong narrative. the dancers have more of a theatrical feel. i think we are best known for our specific work. in the last 15 years, spending a lot of time focusing on issues

that affect us and are related to the african-american experience, here in the united states. i had heard of marcus shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. we were brought together by the equal justice society specifically for this project. we were charged with beginning work. marquez and i spent a lot of time addressing our own position on the death penalty, our experiences with people who had been incarcerated, family members, friends of friends. pulling our information. beyond that, we did our own research. to create a picture that resonated with humanity.

it is the shape of a house. in this context, it is also small and acts like a cell. i thought that was an interesting play on how these people make these adjustments, half to create home. what is home for these people? the home is their cell. people talk a lot about noise -- very noisy in prisons. that is interesting to me. looking at the communication level, the rise of frustration of being caged, wondering, where does redemption fit into the equation here?
