11:12 pm
so i'll start with the intersection improvements at howard and 6th street can you remember the signaling allows for the traffic on howard and 6th to progress we want to protect the pedestrians as they cross and allow a certain movement we would like to make a left turn protecting the pedestrians at the cross and the way we do that we change the intersection 3w0ub9 the intersection to add more signal time the pedestrian bulbouts provide a shorter distances for the pedestrians as well as an opportunity to be seen and and from the traffic their using u using the information they're able to be seen by traffic and the idea to make pedestrians as visible as possible
11:13 pm
benefits i just kind of went through most of them also showdown or shounz traffic they're not able to cross faster one of the major thing is the speed at which vehicles are going if you're hit by a car by thirty mile-per-hour say 25 you have an 80 percent chance the window of speeds slowing down is important next item for the grant to cover the existing tree grates wells they've the streetscape project was done many years ago the tree grates provide on uneven smas surface the proposal to make the
11:14 pm
tree grates safer and also at the same time protect the trees and allow them to be a little bit more robust in the area and that's about it i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. >> i know think we'll hear public comment first. >> we have one speaker card. >> where were you going to say something we have one speaker card. >> mr. ace washington. >> mr. washington. >> do you want to say something? >> is there anyone else that

11:17 pm
with when howard gets the green it's the same that the pedestrians get even though green the idea to split it up to let the pedestrians go first a whole phase dictated to them a way to isolate the conflict. >> how many seconds. >> from 3 to 5 seconds enough four pedestrians to get established and he kind of take the spates is that's one scenario other scenario would be that the vehicles on howard are held until the clearance so you'll have through traffic to go straight and left turns on howard will be held and after they're done the left turn will be a green arrow if i'm not explaining that perfectly a way to isolate it.
11:18 pm
>> it's an intersection i'll glad mta's addressing that thank you. >> i have a question so when i drive through 40u6rd street and that intersection there's a lot of folks in wheelchairs how much time do they get to get across from the bulb out. >> yeah. they go beyond our standards 2 and a half feet per second from this location i'm not sure but we don't companions on it if you have to envied wheelchair and pedestrian seniors specifically okay. >> and what are the the number of accidents that happen in this chiropractor. >> quite a few of the off the top of my head i don't know the numbers in front of me it's
11:19 pm
substantial i think in the 7 year windows we last looked there were maybe 12 at each intersection and that's substantially higher than other location our highest location in the city is 18 and that window when we have one or two sits a concern but when we are way over that it's enough to make a high priority enough 2, 3, 4 line with the vision zero policy with the fatalities to zero the mta is taking on that policy. >> why great this is great you guys are doing this. >> okay any further comments from the commissioners? thank you madam secretary please take roll >> thank you, mr. chair members please announce our vote commissioner mondejar

11:25 pm
local 24 bargaining occupant for february 2015 through 2017 discussion and action resolution number 5 dash 2015 and dictionary 30 years the execution of a memoranda agreement local 1021 bargaining unit for the period of february 3rd, 2015 through january 30th january 30th, 2017, madam director and commissioners after 3 years without formalized contracts amended contact with the 1021 and local 1021 this was due in large part of the listing dissolution a number of questions raised we have now bringing before you amendments
11:26 pm
to both union contracts that provide for a number of changes including providing raises for employees so with that i'd like to ask jim mary moore asl he lives to walk through the background and significant terms and conditions of both of those proposed contract. >> thank you madam chair rosales and members of the commission i'm jim morales you have before you two resolutions with draft contracts with agencies have negotiated with 1021 and to approve hopefully as director bohe indicated it's been a long time in coming that we've not had labor agreements before you the last time the agency xhirthd the last agency
11:27 pm
xhirthd considered for the labor agreement was in june of 2011 we have a traveled a course that involved the dissolution of the agency and change in city back to successor agency there's a number of events that have occurred the memo tries to capture i'll notary state those except in the last evidently months a major break through with proposition d that granted certain rights to agency employees that were compatible rights and benefits compatible to similarly situated city employees as health care
11:28 pm
and with the passage of proposition d the city as we said and the union negotiated over the terms of that city offer of employment might look like and we understand that those offers are imminent to ocii employees in the last month the unions and executive management met to negotiate and try to resolve the remaining issues for ocii employees this is important to give the police a meaningful choice between city employment and ocii employment we wanted to just want our labor contracts and make sure that to the greatest stent possible their compatible to similar city contracts with local 1020 and 21
11:29 pm
that principle has guided our negotiations over the last month and the result is the proposed agreements before you today and i will briefly summarize the major provisions of those agreements perhaps most 1ib9 is the salary increases that are compatible to those salary increases that city employees have or will receive for both unions effective in the first pay period of february 2015 there's an increase of 6.121 percent in october of 2015 an additional increase and july of 2016 there will be an increase between 2.5 percent and 3.125 percent
11:30 pm
depending on the rate of inflation i should not as part of the salaries the performance incentive bonuses that were previously provide to management superiory managers that on one of 4 bargaining unit received those proposals those were eliminated as the city eliminated them so they were not part of the local 21 or 1021 contracts and have been removed from the salary provisions another component of the new contracts is requiring employees to contribute an additional amount for their pension benefits and the retirement system a system
