temporarily in due to various reasons that was detailed to the openly of the new tunnel we're already facing a delay in the openly and it will be a welcome facility we want to make sure our buses operate in the same way they're operating now and go forward making sure it will be an effective cost facility i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> next steps so right now we're at the 65 percent construction documents that have been out for a couple of years and we're looking forward to getting to the 95 percent that is next month, and, secondly, we will educate confirming our commitment and then work with tjpa to negotiate with caltrain for those
6:01 pm
agreements. >> okay questions ed. >> yeah. i guess on the cost escalating i assume that is part of the details what do they contribute to. >> we've seen the economic. >> we've been stuck at 65 percent design because for years. >> the bridge i can't talk to that but - >> good morning filling sweetheart program management team the reason we stopped at 65 percent we had to go to the caltrain pr process and seismic structure analysis that had to be done for the western post prom that was a long and bold project we've gotten through that and recently received the
6:02 pm
approval for caltrain we're restored to go to 95 percent documents we expect in the next month or so. >> so this is we're talking 2019 or 2018 but meant to be done in 2013 those 57 years behind schedule. >> the bus storage facility was not built and operated as without the bus ramps to tie it into the bus center so the completion of the bus ramps is the key storage we have the bus ramps so it was intended to come online with the whole facility came online. >> i thought i heard otherwise so the main question the presentation i appreciate but the question was not dead heading it was clearly if we can
6:03 pm
have buses not have to do that that's not the question the question how to mitigate in the near term where we'll be borrowing or stealing money from phase two to get phase one built or parts of phase one to push to a phase two timeline i guess the need for the, however many 40 something spaces is that a day one need a you current service or future service plan. >> in the presentation i've old how that helps us on day one the primary reliability insuring we have 49 buses in the midday at the terminal to insure we'll have the reliability on day one. >> the 49 phase. >> they could be.
6:04 pm
>> would be or will be. >> i've not got the schedule but they could be used. >> okay. the storage within the transit center there is a 27 phase what about the 7 bays of other providers are there buses there. >> i haven't reached out but that's a possibility the 7 bays can be used. >> up to 34 and others bays within the terminal along the ramps. >> no we - >> we did a long time and the operation wouldn't work on the edges we wouldn't be able to get the busses around safely. >> okay including on the ramp i thought that was potential for space on the ramp. >> in the bus rams are not allowed to stage buses but there are a couple of spaces 3 buses
6:05 pm
long in the entrance of the bus deck they can stage the buses by that's about it no showered room for staging buses. >> well, it does go seem like you can get up to 34 of the 49 not clear the 49 are all needed day one and other temporary options to look at the small number of the balance of buses seems like it is still something to look at the question in the long term probably the right place on the freeway locations can't be used for anything else the project make sense it is a question of timing we have a gap to close. >> just some clarifying questions can you remind me the doubt for
6:06 pm
this item. >> $19.5 million is that the budget we're looking to might? >> yeah. the current budget has $1.5 million for the bus storage and the bus storage estimate is 19.5 so the revised is $19.5 million in that. >> and can you clarify the timing of the items in our next steps and i couldn't really follow the slide on the critical function with street access can i clarify for me what you're trying to make on that slide and the anticipating targeted dates for the next steps. >> sure the street assess slides
6:07 pm
yeah so there are other regional operators that on the bus deck and they rnl assuming they'll use the bus storage facility street access the access on the third street that deadheads to muni goes from their yard in the morning and access the bus deck via a third street and via access point to get to the deck point if they don't have this access they'll have to go to treasure island that deadhead costs 20 minutes that's thousands of dollars.
6:08 pm
>> okay. it is the same with amtrak and we d them. >> and then the timeframe or the target for you're next steps and phillip can talk to that. >> okay. so as far as timelines 95 percent we should have that ready in the next month or so mou with tjpa we've been talking with ac transit i think discussions are still going on in terms of agreeing it the mou costs and the big item is finalizing the caltrain lease there's discussions about what the lease rate ought to be i think those issues are ongoing with caltrain. >> does ac transit have money. >> so, yeah in the presentation i mentioned we've done some
6:09 pm
calculations and deadhead costs we'll save up to 49 buses that will save the bs f. >> i don't hear >> you'll commit to that financial obligation. >> yes. >> you anticipate both the second and third items being done within this year. >> it will have to be done before we stack this to the board in september i mean it's up to the board if the board wants to mitigate it in phase one there needs to be documents executed in september. >> in september. >> one of the things i've learned in talking with the staff exactly what the staging does for us i mean the first
6:10 pm
pull out you know the eater pull out in the afternoon that's not necessarily problem but the heaviest pull out the second pull out and if you don't have enough storage area for the second pull out because the busses haven't come back then if effects your sdajz most people you can't use the bus for a pull out it didn't work for the second round we want to open that with premium service this is revving bart. >> if we could after the board meeting get confirmation about the day one need what is the least commitment to get more
6:11 pm
specificity about the day one need it will be helpful for the september meeting. >> how more specific? >> well, that will be up toy to tell us to justify the needs for the spaces especially with the connection that the operations savings coming from the savings the deadhead with the 49 buses day one, if not i assume what is left whatever level of certainty not make it up but jifz the lease commitment and the 49 spaces for the day one would be helpful information. >> okay. where we at that concludes the business before you today. >> that's what i was hoping we're adjourned. >> thank you.

let there be no doubt our laws which have been around since the 1980s encourage your undocumented residents to assess puc and public education and report crimes and if they're a witness or victim reporting them without fear but our sanctuary policy was never intended to creating create a safe heaven to tear our communities apart it does not protect krinltdz our existing policies allow for cooperation with the federal authorities with criminals like mr. sanchez i mean i believe strongly we should cooperate with federal immigration officials when they
6:18 pm
ask for pending releases for repeat felons including those deported on multiple occasions how some of the law enforcement leadership has chosen to exercise or ignore their existing authority remains a question of concern for example there's a policy in place today that prohibits this kind of communication within it the sheriff's deputies and officials in the case of repeat felons this policy is a threat to public safety this policy should be rescinded immediately supervisors to you i say thank you for standing strong in support of our values to protect the immigrant communities like those who politicalize her

6:24 pm
colleagues the san francisco chronicle repeated this weekend in a special feature about the short-term rentals that recorded what we've been saying for quite sometime that we have hundreds of units that are being taken off the housing market year-round because of other than and high-rise of incremental hosts that are simply disregard the current lay that is simply broken here are some of the highlights by the chronicle further data dive into 3 websites 3 hundred and 52 entire homes full-time hotels on airbnb there are another 3 hundred and 49 that are hotels for most of the year and over the 5 thousand airbnb listed in san francisco 60 percent of those legislators
6:25 pm
more entire homes chronicle also found 2 hundred and 6 hosts that are offering 3 or more listing those illegally operated super hosts control 9 hundred and 93 properties nearly one in 5 of airbnb's listing here in san francisco in the mission 7 hundred and 89 units are listed and according the chronicle indicate up from 6 hundred and 81 listing last year making that by far the most important airbnb city a naibt neighborhood that is sgrrz for evictions the number of airbnb's listing has increased by 13 about his plus percentage and 5 thousand 4 hundred and 59 listing in airbnb in the city
6:26 pm
and while some have left airbnb in the last year many new hosts have taken that place the chronicle says one chronicle hosts on airbnb and home away has landlord prefer to rent to short time visitors the dirty little secret owners do this to avoid rent control this shows that the current law as not an, an effective tool for regulation and, in fact, a tool that facilitated the conversion ever long term housing to tourist hotels during one of the worse housing crisis this is simply outrageous as you may recall our excessive environmentalist ted said on short-term rentals even in a short-term rental unit is lost
6:27 pm
to airbnb rentals the impact is negative and now here we are logan at the at least 3 leonardo da vinci and 50 confirmed units lost to airbnb rentals alone the legislation before you and that i introduced with the support of supervisor mar and commissioner avalos as co-sponsors create the short-term rental law that actually works for the purpose that actually tries to protect housing by alexander real enforcement mechanisms that will sure this illegal activity reported by itself chronicle will no longer continue and specifically this thing legislation requires hooting platforms to list only regulated list and provided quarterly data to the list and we're limiting 9 short-term rentals to 60 days the budget analyst there are 4,
6:28 pm
60 day cap leads to a reduction of airbnb units entirely focused on commercial units that is a unit that takes residential housing permanently off the the housing market a one 20 day cap proposed by mayor ed lee and supervisor farrell will lead to only a 7 percent reduction in airbnb unit leaving many commercial airbnb units urban touched which is what the being proposed today as i said on many occasions i support home sharers it has a place in san francisco but there has to be limits my law supports casual hosts to make ends meet many san franciscans enjoy and rely on this practice however, left
6:29 pm
unregulated this industry will continue toes bat the hockey's we're facing by incentive tiger's taking housing off the market colleagues, i ask for your support for that common sense piece of legislation by voting you can help to make long term housing available to the san franciscans that need it and i hope we act in a meaningful way today and if we fail to act it will be up to the voters of san francisco to finally do what i hope we can do today i do have one small amendment to my orients if i may ask the clerk to hand out the copies to my colleagues but this amendment is actually, one that i originally authorized in october of 2014 over the course of the debate of
6:30 pm
