4:05 am
what is in our organization chart has the executive director at the top level the chief deputy and the coordinating deputy director levels in that regard just for a quick refresher in terms of of the overall organization we have in place so i'm going to go ahead and talk about the revised structure as a relates to the addressing the components on the screen the aspects of the program we need to deal with first and foremost one of the more important things the toll collection has part of management tolling was mandated and ushering the logics and with the authority and caltrans to make sure we are installing and operating a tolling system is
4:06 am
critical to this effort like a build out to $203,041,000,000 it is quite a bit of revenue we'll be tracking and other revenues going to be in play parking approximately $7.2 million as well as transit and an international part of congestion management plan to establish ferry service the developer will build a ferry terminal we need to work with the water emergency transportation agency go ahead and execute and purchase the appropriate vessels and get into the weeds and getting that up and you operated the target date for operating the ferry system is 2022 for the toll collection
4:07 am
the target date to operate and flip on the switch will be 2019 there are other components that need to be dealt with parking management excited to talk about shuttle serve on the island so a new cleaver is specialized expertise working with the public and private sector currently no east bay transit services to the island this is part of island coordinating with the agency as a one executing a memorandum of agreement for starting the tolling in the 2019 area be numerous transit path and being able and all island tdm island services to be led by the department the principle planner richard and looking at
4:08 am
affordability in a senate program and finally when it comes to tolling a fast track for a service center coordination with the egress and ingress to the toll bridge by way of the off and on ramps and opened will be a major point of the tolling when we approach that area there. >> in working with our consultant we came up with a recommendations staffing approach first of all, to make sure we were flexible as to the point we could urban design with the existing staff eliminating the staff on date to make sure we implement and good afternoon project managers with specific tasks that is required as and o we move forward with the program the first time with an operating
4:09 am
agency that's a different hat from the prior experience with the transportation authority efforts we'll go ahead and require some motivation of different resources there are numerous agreement as you imagine that need to be executed with the agencies so our stout process to crack for services if we don't have the experience when the level of efforts requires not in house staffing it make sense. >> and then finally this may be difficult to read i apologize but in essence the thought process for the treasure island mobility agency some of the core functions under the capital projects the delivery group the group that i'm the deputy in charge of the thought process the support from the other
4:10 am
divisions to help and support all the efforts and that's in essence a snapshot of the operations in the darker color newer function operations and then finally as indicated in the packet there will be a need for specific and this is even i'm sorry this is more detailed drilled down anything that is dark print is in essence new in that regard anything in light print with the capital projects group that we have to date the capital projects stays the same with additions and all the systems of technology that is required to support this effort
4:11 am
those are in essence new types of functional operations that capital projects will undertake our ambulance is to go ahead and fill and get the appropriate experience in particular to make sure that we hire in essence what we're designating as a manager a job description and what we're calling a tim the technology guru from the technology stand point to make sure we are getting people involved in the back office tolling side of the house our proposed reorganization are a program manager and assistant manager but to the types of
4:12 am
support business and financial tracking for the new revenue that needs to be accounted for cost and revenue and need to also go ahead and advance our communication to make sure the appropriate meg is there for everyone on the island to understand the options as it relates to transit and the tolling proclamations when things can be schedule properly and make sure that someone will deal with the public in that regard and senior program analyst will be a combination working with and supporting program manager and the assistant manager for all the analysis that will be required as part of the program. >> we potentially will need additional resources of human resources for procurement

4:30 am
partners approving supplemental agreement with caltrain to do more robust oversight the lessons from caltrain and even central subway we're funded and see the end in sight of the delivery of caltrain with an aging project conducting oversight continues on the central subway and those protocols are similar and based on the effectiveness of the oversight approach with the sfmta we are forged similar relationships and protocols for central subway and south van ness bart brt brt that will be a bit of a challenge in the next couple of years but doing a lot of work with sfmta and the business and the corridors to make as is workable as possible

4:34 am
we've got a lot more work to do we want to streamline you prop k you'll see in my proposed oufshz for 2017 we want to streamline not only the prop k to put that on line and the partners from the bart or public works or mta they can do an online form that is more automated and accurate instead of having a manual q and a but we also want to look at our memoranda and make sure they're the most of the helpful and efficient and clear to understand what is it that the action we are seeing each month we come to you with the memoranda and documentation so - >> moving to the fourth area of the partner agency i've referred to some of those the connect sf an initiative of the core agencies you've heard about that thank you chair tilly chang

4:36 am
for the in terms of the might - to continue to stay in line for federal funds for the dtx and bring to the transbay terminal on the transportation to demand management those are sort of sorry kind of transportation to demand management, of course, the category of lower cost very cost effective treats of transportation system to help to move us toward the sustainable with the walking and biking and transit performances we rely on cars particularly private vehicles and we're doing that in many ways just yesterday had a hearing thank you chair mar at the land use committee on the ordinance and we have accomplished with the passage of
4:37 am
two components of the transportation sustainability program that is a large program of the tdm with the sustainability fee and the change in the ceqa measures over from the level of service to the more consistent measure of vehicle miles traveled with the transit first policy again, a very large somewhat - complex area but ultimately important so we can be a as cost effective with the transit first plan and policies in the city it was a very big year for that project. >> sorry for skipping too far head with the leadership at the state level an exciting year we had the first c m g david chiu
4:38 am
was able to pass the ash 4 is the general contractor authority and initiative way to partner with the private contractor in the design phase and that design phase is a maximum price we feel comfortable we can move into the phase that saves time and leverages the expertise in those phases and something that can be used and the sfmta is using on the van ness as we speak so we were keen given the complexity of the piece side ramps to tap into that delivery method we are grateful to david chiu for objecting that legislation and on the implementations it is something that will this year we
4:39 am
were able to continue to advocate for bart and muni was for example, to get the 42 grant from the expanding and our agency provided important analytical information from the federal government. >> in addition you'll see in the memoranda on the state and regional our continued to press forwards on the automated speed enforcements on vision zero and hopefully new measures chair wiener will provide that but fortunately unfortunately, it didn't happen to fall but
4:40 am
hopefully next year - wisp excited this year to expand our social media presence it had limits but we were mindful of the basic outreach at the grassroots level to make sure we're in touch with the partners and doing things on the ground and with the outreach when necessary and appropriate to compliment the social media but an engagement to bring in the community such as though targeted outreach to folks in the high school and community college and local universities and high school students to a fun day they shadowed several members of our agency and eric
4:41 am
cordova brought them to the island and, of course, the engineering focus program in sfusd high school and able to lecture and bring the folks into state university henson cal uc berkley and cal and the institute for san jose an important generation to hone and expose them to some of the board range from a programs and policies or community engagement and engineering sciences and make sure that kids young adults are exposed to our work and engaged with us early on in their careers promoting the sdaemgd for the
4:42 am
ongoing commitment to continue a workshop i'm excited to say we're moving forward not only on citibuild but perhaps the professional services version of citibuild as you recall citibuild is the program that was following the third street light rail to try to develop the building and construction trade vocational trades through the programs citibuild with the office of economic workforce development runs that program there's not been a recognition and a desire to potentially build the citibuild not only for the building trade and construction but for the professional services type of clarifications those are planned checkroom and early contracted administration types of functions and it would be nice for us to work on that we began working on that with oewd and
4:43 am
sfmta contributed to the effort i look forward to reporting more on that next year and this is an important element i was pleased to be able to fill our deputy positions that were open which was jeff hobson a deputy for planning who joined us from transform that was rounded out our team and promoted amber for the deputy for programming and now with eric in place eric cordova we have joe who took modeling and technology data analysis position and then amber to report in a policy and programming we have a full team and cannot tell you how fortunate to work with the existing management team from the admin our chief deputy so
4:44 am
we're excited we led an organizational assessment with eric recorded urban forester that began with an idea for the treasure island role but became a much broader exercise we talked about the prioritization of our resources we wanted to have a deeper sort of internal conversation about workplace excellence and turnover for other reasons and wanted to dive into that were we not providing the supportive environment or making sure to have advancement a matrix that a working as we move towards matrixing and that
4:45 am
resulted in making sure wisp empowering our staff and training them to so that's resulting in a whole hoecht of actions and excited to report good progress and we are definitely continuing new year next year to make sure we have a workplace of excellence and finding that harder and harder for folks into the city and they're moving into the east bay we've lost folks to the east bay agencies and the private sector want to make sure we're staying as comprehensive and with that, that will conclude the accomplishments side of my report you have on our report the get into the weeds obviously i don't know if you want to pause. >> why not keep on going. >> sure. sure again those are
4:46 am

4:53 am
funding package and the next planned implementation and we again want to contribute especially in the building an intersection of state and local that will need some exposition and will benefit from a scan of what others are doing in the u.s. we look forward to your feedback on that and facilitating the agency and organizational staff recommendations as i mentioned will be a continuing focus and moving towards the ability to hire some of the positions that we were able to get our recommendation that's and priority and integrating the management system and promoting even more of the ability to have online and efficient systems will be part of this progress and finally with the external
4:54 am
and internal limitations will be the initiative of the communications plan one of the outreaches of the assessment and this enensues at the agency level and the sub agency level and developing. >> community approach and capacity not sure we'll be able to deliver a relations now but the goal over several years to ramp up our ability for a community engagement and separate and apart from any particular project so 82 thank you for your time i hope that was a i'll have overall of the objectives for 2017. >> thank you commissioner tang. >> thank you. i absolutely think that was helpful we're
4:55 am

4:56 am
administration we could document our project response to comments moving back to last year, we did a draft document and get feedback from the public and there the summer and spring and as we documented that from the faa they would be willing to have us do an errata format in the fall the guidance they gave us alternative advise to see more fully documentation of that back and forth with the community and the ultimate outcome we achieved many we were able to resolve blake the webster bridge in japantown similar is an idea of the cook from local stops the want to
4:57 am
keep or in the area of some gas station businesses for example, we were able to really work on the parking loss and we were able to minimize but 20 percent unfortunately, the way we documented it was the more sort of streamlined way and it turned out because of those ongoing xhufksz and we introduced some vision zero pedestrian safety feature that was a new scope we added a couple of dozen obnoxiously or bulks or crosswalks it changed how we should document the changes and unfortunately, we got it rather late in the september, october timeframe so more recently, we looked at ways for the giensz and one idea that seems to have
4:58 am
taken hold is that their comfort within the city attorney advice us to separate our documents into two pieces you'll see potentially the brt, the geary brt document come to a form if the eir for local approval and gives us time to in the coming months to respond to the document on a separate track the approval item for the geary bart for this body it to come to this body in 6 to 8 years and will be grateful that's what i'm hearing from the board they wish to take action, an the documents given here we are in the thanksgiving period we're working on a schedule we'll bring that to you in eight hundred 2017 before several of you term out.
