sense to have car interior configuration. we are asking high speed rail to fund those modifiications to meet the blended system. when you do think about the blended system and hot needs furlther definition it is service plan system up grades. if there are passing tracks, maintenance facilities, what each station looks like. we have plans when the null build was proposed sechberal year uzgo but dopet have the detailed planning today so there is more work needed and don't need to make all the decision today ewe keep the future open so we don't proclude different optioness in the future. we had many public meetings over the last couple months. we released a draft rm rks fp to the car builders to conform information with them. we asked a variety of questions and will get those answers back

later this month and be able to provide that information to the board. we are going to different groupwise this proposed path forward and getting feedback on that. we have a separate presentation that deals with internal configuration. the balance between seats, standing ibikes and bathroom squz happy to give that presentation as well if you want more information. for this topic we know was of great interest to the board so want today come back to it and the plan is release a rfp in july to keep the mile stone frz the 2020 date. we need to upidate the regional funding plan before we go out with contracts especially with the design build on that. with that we are happy to take quigzs >> thank you casey. thank you. supervisor kim do you have questions >> iment to make a few comant. it is great to see the progress over the last 6 month said.

know thisf a complex engineering issue and nice to see it is moving forward. we'll still continue to explore it. the lift and ada issue is probably whatsemes the most prominent with the bilevel boarding being that at the 50 inch, those that need wheelchairs or unable to use the stairs are going to have a more difficult time accessing the seats on either level, that is probably one thof big issues i see mpt but it is great to see design engineering solutions to see how we can take into account the needs of multiple systems on this one rail. >> thank you i just have a comment. i think for casey or lieuese, it is my understanding there is no money for level boarding which makes the conversation very interesting with the high speed rail administration. how are those

conversation going? >> um it is true that right now there is no funding for level boarding, that is something we desire in the future and there has been discussion that maybe there would be funding available through different sources but there is no firm commitment right now. in order to release this rfp we feel we don't need those commitments in place going forward, but there is no commitment from high speed rail to fund that >> thank you casey. let's go ahead and take public comment. any members of the public that would like to speak on item 3 come forward. just as a reminder you is 2 minutes to speak. there is a soft bell >> good afternoon [inaudible] san francisco chamber of commerce and here last time when the subject came up and appreciate all the progress that has been made through the effort of the city, high speed rail and cal train. the bottom

line which wasn't mentioned is how do you accommodate different thrains at the end of the line at the transbay transit center and that is the driving issue as far as we are concerned. if you remember the front of market street in the early days of muni metro with the stub end and not enough ability to move trains beyond the embarcadero station, it was a operational disaster and we believe that we need to make use of all available platforms at the transbay terminal for all systems using the station. that requires common level boarding and we believe the solution that was outlined to the committee today is appropriate and the chamber will be happy to work with the city, cal train and high speed rail to make sure this solution is fund #d and the project

moves forward as quickly as possible. the worst thing that can happen is a lectifyed cal train and station. we have another problem and that is getting the tunnel built from 4 lth [inaudible] to have that station there without trains would be a great disappointment >> thank you, next speaker please >> sfgov tv, there is a overhead >> i covered this when i closed my remarks. this is the transbay terminal. what really happened here i think is very unfortunate because none of this conversation should ever have happened because everybody quitely forgot about the federal railroad administration

[inaudible] last year i basically said this isn't a big deal. the high speed [inaudible] just forgot to change the system [inaudible] when i did further research i found the fra is following the same approach as europe and made it clear high speed rail must be compatible with tear one which is everything that runs in north america. the [inaudible] height and weight must be compatible and they don't talk about level boarding what they talk about is they are looking at ada strategy. but the thing i want to show you on closing, this is a transbay terminal so the discussion about platform height and all that stuff it is basically outside this arena. it belongs at the national level. you have 2 issues with the transbay terminal that those have to do with the second [inaudible] line ment.

the first one is it impossible to have [inaudible] there is no room because you push the tracks all the way out to the other side and the second is there a cal train track that you will never be able to vacate the [inaudible] and the point with the [inaudible] for visor wiener you brought it up at programming allocation on may 13, we need to be able to connect the other [inaudible] transbay terminal to the east bay and it is impossible to do with the second street alignment. thank you very much >> thank you very much. anyone who would like to speak on this item? >> first and formost if you allows print out cards our name should be read. i'm going to protest this-there is a system. it is like [inaudible] to bring up another point somebody

proposes something but conveniently leaves their chair and goes out. having said that, there are people here selling [inaudible] and we watch the joint transbay powers. we watch them and see that this so called experts as the young lady is just a conceptual plan. my thing is, i started the train in europe predominantly in france and germany and would say we need the experts from japan, china, germany and france and other countries to come and really review this presentations. mickey mouse presentation. this sadis pickable committee. you better get your act together. if you allow us to fill our cards, you better state our name because this

chair of this committee needs a lot of training, i know that. she says she is on some other committee, we don't want to hear about that. what san franciscan want to hear is some hearing on this, the platforms, how some of the speakers have spoken so we have a hearing so that the constituents on san francisco have a real say and there must be change of this committee. a very dispickable committee. thank you very much >> anyone else like to speak in public comment? seeing none public comment is closed. colleagues is there discussion on this body? no. okay. is there a motion-supervisor wiener >> i move to continue to the call of the chair. >> move to the call of the chair. let's set a roll call vote >> we don't need it. >> thank you. that's right without opposition. supervisor

non-automobile modes and for the creation of a new regional transit system from the island to the east bay and the ferry here in san francisco. and that provides the backdrop and context and we have the slides to adopt the goals that were adopted by the early, treasure island authority board and the significant increase in transit service that is needed to support the island's development needs to be backed by a committed and permanent source of funds by tolling and pricing and for this reason, senator, passed and led ab, 981, with governor schwarzenegger support in 2008 in the transportation management act, that authorized the program and the transportation management options for supporting island services and the acts called for the agency to be designated to over see the toll operation and to manage, the provision of the new transit services and the transportation, authority has had a long time partnership, and with the

organization and including the construction of the island ramps project that is happening sxhou in 2011, when you all adopted the treasure island development project, the plans were already in, and under way, to partner for the role here as timma and we were so designated in 2014, and the responsibilities of this agency is to insure that the program meets the transportation performance and the financial mandates of the original plan and for coordinating with the agencies that if necessary, to implement such a plan including the san francisco municipal transportation agency, and the cal trans, and the area toll fee, and the water agency that manages the ferries and the transit, the timma will over see the design and the construction and design from the contracting for the ferry bus and shuttle services for overseeing tolling and parking management and most of our work will be a three, person

committee in terms of the governance with the chair and today, and with that we just want to make the introduction and pleased to be working with a great team to start the work, ra khel hyiat serves as the project manage and her her counter part, is the bob beck project director for tida and sherry is the principal engineer and the deputy for finance and administration, cynthia will support activities and also we have the assistance of tamala and neal advising us with legal matters and that concludes my remarks and i am happy to answer any questions. >> thank you, colleagues, any questions or comments on the executive director's report? seeing none s there there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is
