>> okay, good morning, i'll call to order the september 13, transbay joint powers authority meeting. >> clerk: we have the caltran representative, and we have director chang. >> present. >> clerk: director harper. >> harper present. >> clerk: director safai.

>> present. >> clerk: and mr. chairman you have a quorum. go ahead and call your next item. item 3 is communications, i'm not aware of any. seeing none, item four, new and old business. seeing none, item five, the executive director's report. >> good morning, directors. i'd like to start by welcoming director tavares to the board as well. >> thank you very much. >> i'd like to start by also thanking the board for providing the leadership that enabled us to successfully open the center to the public and to have operations last month. the success that we have had in opening and operating the transit center could not have helped without the strong support of each one of you. and to thank the management and

staff as well as the staff for working very closely with us to make sure that we have a smooth successful transition from the old temporary terminal. and later on today we will provide you with the report on the operations much the transit city with the pop-ups since we have opened. and at this time i'd like to ask, christine to report out on the opening events and activities that is part of the grand opening celebration and the commission of operations and other recent activities. christine? >> good morning. reporting out for tjpa. and thank you for taking the time to listen. i know that you all lived through august but we had a very successful opening. if i could -- our goal as stated a few months ago were first and foremost to educate our writers and our customers and to have a transition from the temporary terminal to the transit center.

we did that in two phases in june and again in august. we used our own ambassadors and it was a great opportunity to provide them with some training. and their ambassador duties eventually at the transit center. so they took on that at the temporary terminal to put people over. it was multilingual and a social media campaign to do that. so we thought that was fairly smooth. and to build awareness and excitement about the opening and really showcase the center's year-round opportunities for transit, and public art, the park, and retail opportunities. and our deliverables as i said as a writer transition program, we had a series of public tours that featured the history of transportation in the bay area and sustainability and the park. and those were soldout and waiting list only but they're very popular and the tours continue to be popular even with the centers open to the public. so we're continuing that as we have staff available. and the ribbon cutting ceremony that you all attended, thank you very much for your support and making that event a success.

we had local, state and federal leaders attend. showed great support for the project. and a real big focus on the operations in phase two which is where we wanted the focus to be. our neighborhood block party which was on a saturday, was a great opportunity. it felt like the entire bay area came out. we had a great turnout, thousands of people came through the center that day. and we could not have done it without our transit partners, the bus deck was a great opportunity, once-in had a-a-lie to learn about transportation and it was a great opportunity to promote transit and the transit center. it's a new opportunity to by-pass six lanes of busy traffic, to get from the east bay to san francisco, right into the heart of san francisco. we think that outreach by the transit operators and sfmta, and the bus deck was programmed all day and very popular. and equally popular was the park. and people really came out for the free activities and the

family-friendly events and they continue to do so. so we think that the neighborhood block party set the right tone for what is available at the park and how people should treat it. and we were happy with the outcome of that. we did go through -- i have gone in front of our branding and markets for events and so i won't do that. but we had a social media campaign, both paid and unpaid and our earned media earned i think that at least 75 stories in the lead-up to the week before the event and publications, local and national. very happy with that as well. and we hosted a series of tours as i said and the ribbon cutting, i want to share a few photos with you, though you lived it. we activated the big board and really welcomed people to the transit center. and just wanted to share a few photos of the ribbon-cutting ceremony. here's the bus deck. this is my bus, the 38 express from many years ago. and the double-decker bus and the staff. and it just shows the crowds on the bus deck and people came out to learn about transit. and one of my favorites is the

overhead looking down and we have been looking down at the park for so long but to have it filled with people is a completely new experience that we're all happy about. and that's it, i'm happy to take any questions. and actually before i do that, if i could mention one more thing. as you all know the global climate action summit is happening this week in san francisco and the transit center are participating by highlighting the environmental features of the transit center to delegates. so we're hosting tour this is week to participate as an affiliate event for this summit and we're proud to do that. now i'm happy to take any questions. >> no questions. just a great job by you and your team and all of the tjpa and the whole broader team, it was such a great, positive, opening and it has been positive since be. since. and after so many years of work to get to this point, i think that it was really well done. great. >> i came in at the tailend so it was really so much work here.

>> you were the closer. [laughter] well, thank you, christine. directors, now we have the transit center open for full bus operations we have started working with caltrans on the right-of-way process. and it has the financing and construction of the transit center, and caltrans will relinquish the parks sold for private development with the gross sale proceeds to be positive for costs related to the project. or when the transit center is open for bus operations for buses that we use for the construction of the transit center. caltrans has relinquished their power of termination for those opened and they have parcels that we utilized for the construction of the transit center. however, we have four more parcels that have yet to be developed or utilized for their

final purpose. they include portions of blocks two and three in the former temporary terminal that has been used as 100% affordable housing and park respectively. and also parcel of what we call high double crime, that is used for the park, that is on full some street. and we have a parcel q. at the corner of harrison and second street that is used for phase two is subsequently affordable housing. myself and the director safai met with caltrans last month for the relinquishment of these parkests and they have provided a very good path on how to direct these parcels. given sufficient time to prepare for the final use of the parcels. i'd like to thank caltrans for their flexibility, understanding and cooperation. and helping us with this expedited process. they've been a great partner in

this process. so, thank you. >> thank you very much. moving on to phase two of the downtown extension. the board approved a proposition allocation in the amount of $9.7 million for the downtown extension project for the 30% design effort. and $7 million only covers a portion of the funding needed, and we will be requesting the remaining funding from m.t.c. early next year when the regional measure three funds become director. i'd like to thank the director and her staff for the continued support of phase two. later on today in the agenda you have an item for your consideration to fund a design contract with parsons to complete the 30% design work. in regards to the status of the environment will documents for phase two, the federal transit administration recently informed us that instead of following the streamline process for approval

of the environmental document by issuing a combined final supplemental environmental impact statement and a decision, they have elected to follow the standard neepa process which involving files a notice for the final impact statement in the federal register prior to issuance. this involves the board signing the combined document and then f.t.a. will publish it in the federal original for a 30-day period. we have provided the office of the f.t.a. with the revised copy of the final environmental document with references and the responses to older comments to date included. we are currently expecting the f.t.a. to provide us with their final input by the end of september. our team and the team will remain fully engaged in this process. and i hope to bring the full document for your consideration in the next month or two. last item i have is that you

have in front of you the quarterly financial reports and this completes my report. thank you. >> questions from the board members. next item. >> clerk: you do have one member of the public on this side, a mr. patrick. >> good morning, patrick and company, san francisco. i had the opportunity to take my family to the opening. as you know i followed this system, if you will, for a long period of time. and i just thought it was fabulously successful. a.c. transdiet a design are dynamite having their buses with the drivers interacting and talking about the way that the buses worked. i took a picture of my wife sitting in the bus driver's seat. she loved it. and everyone loved it. and so it was very, very successful. i'd like to go back one step, however. and that is this transit center doesn't happen without a lot of

leadership. mark took up this leadership role and he brought this thing together and it's been a very, very successful, i think, operational phase. it's not without problems and i criticize where i see as necessary but i think that it's hats off to him who did a great job in bringing this thing together. so i didn't bring my hat with me. my hat off to mark. thank you. >> i want to mention ron alamedo as well, he's been tremendous as well. but thank you so much. >> clerk: that concludes the members of the public under that item. and pyour next item 6, is the construction closeout update. >> good morning, directors. dennis turchon. i do want to point out that our ron and i are both into a new phase of construction closeout. we're in a different era. and we are security and operations and maintenance and

we are supporting them. so our role has changed here. and so will our presentation as well. so with that said, we do have a project overview. but i really want to take this opportunity, please, to take a look at your screens, to enjoy five of the eight years in about a minute's time of the construction. and i wanted to take advantage of this to say to the board members that we appreciate your support throughout this entire construction process. it's been invaluable to getting us to this point. you have supported us through the monotonous years of being a hole in the ground to our year of steel in 2015, which was instant gratification, all the way through the time of the, you know, the completion of last month. i also want to take this opportunity to put out a strong thank you to the labor force. you know, the men and the women that worked in the trades that worked so very hard to build

this transit center for us. all 25,000 jobs throughout the country that were created and were put together for us. i wanted to that i can this public opportunity to thank them as we move into the next spot. very good. so now something different here. this is a slide that will show the remaining work. this is the work to complete list with a graphical description of each area. this is contract work that still needs to be completed. we still have to do the second street elevator that is at the far west end. that is anticipated to be opened very shortly. but that's the location of where it's at and it's a direct connection between the ground to the park. the west end breezeway, that's also close to second street. i have a couple slides to show where that is at. a significant amount of work is being done through that area, and also shaw alley, same one. these are the access points that

are still being constructed that didn't affect the operations but felt they could be done quietly during the daytimes and the nighttimes. and also the first street and the beale street traffic signals. and there are if you walk around, there's a significant amount of ceiling panels that still need to be installed. i'll touch on that as well too. this is the work to complete list, this isn't the entire list that webcore is working on at this point. they are continuing to work on punch list, commissioning items that aren't specific here and then also any kind of warranty work. our warranty work, an example of that one right now would be the pathway, you know, on the park. the park that -- the performance of that pathway in portions has been disappointing to us. and we've got three actions that are in place right now. the first one is a continual cleaning up of any kind of loose gravel to ensure that is taking care of. and we're also looking into actions to get certain potholes

or certain areas that would be deemed needing more of media kind of attention and looking at the material that would actually fill that. while looking at a long-term, you know, a long-term process for that too. ron will also address this some more in the latter part of the presentation but i wanted to put that up front too that we're actively working on very closely, especially on that particular one. and so with that i'll go back to the work to complete items. the second street elevator, it's almost there. it passed its state in inspectis this past sunday and it should be open by the end of next week. it's another connection to the park. right there from natoma from second street. and the west end breezeway, this is an area that is a very good connection to greyhound and level two. that one, the picture here that was taken on september 4th has

a lot more of the ceiling panels been installed and the escalators are just about ready to be put online. the stairwell is ready to go. so that will be opened within the next few weeks partially. there's still work to be done but it will be done off-hours and not to affect the public. similar, the shaw alley. shaw alley is our fourth of four public art displays. this is our jamie carpenter light fins, which you can see some of them up in the ceiling but also those boxes down on the floor are also light -- along with the benches. the concrete for that is going to be poured here by the end of the month and this will be open to the public in full availability for this art piece in about mid-october. and the other item that we're tracking right now is our traffic signals. the traffic signals at first and beale. the freemont one is in place and first and beale are installed

now nightly with the poles. there's a couple items with that. we're picking up the controller's cabinets shortly but we had an issue with pg&e in getting our point of connection service. so we're working with the highest levels of pg&e with those who are providing our power. burt we've had a lot of challenges with getting pg&e to get us a point of connection service. we continue to do so as best we can. we probably -- if they don't come through -- we'll have to go temporary routes because i know that those signals are very important to get up and going. and the other work that is really the ceiling panels. the ceiling panels are throughout and they're being installed and they should not affect the public, whether it's night or daytime, if it's out of the way or mid-day when the service on the bus deck is at a very low point, but those will continue and they'll continue through december. it's taken some time for our sub-contractor to get those materials in place and to get them installed and that will be

the driving force that ron will show you on the schedule slide. that's what pushes this all the way out to late december as their final acceptance date. basically this is what the words, as i have mentioned, one item to note too is that on the east end of the gondola is boston properties. it's almost complete with their gondola and they project in the next couple weeks that will be ready for operations and they'll keep us posted when they're ready to open that to the public. so we'll have two different avenues to get up there, beside our elevator and their gondola opening in the next couple weeks or so. the storage facility is coming along very well. the keys have been handed over to a.c. transit. the picture on the right shows the signage at that admin building that's there and there's buses that have been parking there since the first day of operations and we're working through some -- we're working through punch list items but they are working through there and we're working closely with the a.c. transit staff

continuously as they are working out of that facility now. and lastly for my portion, safety and labor, i'm very happy to report since last time that we met that there's been no recordables for lost time. and accidents, which we had no lost time to date this year and only two recordables and we are about to surpass 5.5 million draft hours of the men and women that have been working to build our transit center. it's a very impressive milestone. with that i'll turn it over to ron for the rest of the construction closeout update. thank you. >> thanks, dennis. it's a nice thorough look at the work to complete and touched on all of the main points. moving into budget and schedule, on the budget side you will see that we have extended to about

$2.086 billion, that's a $30.8 million shift since july, since we had moved in august. it's a two-month stand of expenditures, commitment, and upticked by 12.6, with the closure of old issues and nothing of note that's new that's come our way. e.a.c. boasts first attendance scope as well as the addition of the t.i. and the legal is holding steady and hasn't changed in the last two months. contract time is at 108%. obviously, since we were a little late in delivery, but as you saw from the opening it was well worth the effort. it was a great opening. contingency usage, again, no real surprises here either.

we're towards the end of the project and we have about $3.7 million left in balance of construction contingency and cmgc contingency at 14.3. so again leaner but not as alarming as of yet, in particular with the program reserve of 83.1 to deal with whatever might crop up, both in my world of construction as well as program-wide world. moving the schedule, oops... we have simplified the graphics. it's pretty much a run from substantial completion to final completion. as well as noting that the activation of the facility was as of august 12th. contractually final completion should arrive in october. the current schedule and trending is showing december and

the main drag point on that is then as dennis noted is the arrival and the installation of the odds and ends on the ceiling panels and the trim. in terms of other scopes of work, the momentum seems to be showing end of september, end of october, a good measure of the other work to complete list will be arriving. that brings me to the work to complete status. general punch list, i think that we've got our systems in place. and we're moving through as dennis had shown graphically. the work to complete is advancing through the building. we had initially concentrated a lot of work at night to leave time and space for operations during the day. since then we've kind of learned

to co-exist a little bit better and i'm seeing more personnel during the day also, again, in getting punch list items done that has been helpful in retaining crews. and most of the electrical is at night and we're seeing more and more work coming back to the days dovetailed in with operations. so that should support more timely completion. again, activities, building systems and commissioning. it's starting to get its momentum as we tease out some of the systems. and those are things like -- the most evident ones are like escalators and monitors that we're teasing through some issues. but for the most part it's supporting operations quite well. and then warranty processes in place. we have an online input system

and thus far has been the handful of things that have come up under warranty are being steered to the appropriate parties to be addressed. so no real concerns there and as dennis had mentioned the path which seems to be getting a lot of attention of late is one of the major warranty issues that we're addressing. as dennis mentioned we're somewhat disappointed on some areas of the path, not to put too fine of a point on it, but there's a lot of high traffic areas that are showing what we think is excessive wear. we know that this material is a bit finicky and its means of installation, we were quite careful to give all of the time and space to the installer. it's got a rather long cure time. (please stand by).

. ease stand by). >> the other challenging issues as noted is the ceiling metal panels as well as the first street signaling that dennis had mentioned. we've been in a bit of a tussle

between pg&e and p.u.c. to get the power lit up on those signals. in the meantime, the poles and sfm signal heads have been in place, and i've been pushing for a permit or a temporary power so we can address that safety concern. it's a very active movement right now. and then lastly, the project closeout risks haven't changed from two months ago. we're putting focus on work to complete fulfillment. we've continued to work -- meet regularly to ensure that the punch list and the final completion is advancing. we're using plan grid, has some very good metrics and graphics. i think we'll see a slide, just a snapshot of kind of progress on punchlist and final

completion either in october or november presentation, just to give it some time to kind of shake out, but good tracking metrics on how we're progressing on those in-the-field incidents or punchlist incidentals. closeout documentation is starting to get its momentum, kind of a pamean predecessor ta complete training is to have all the o.n.m. training manuals in hand, and we're starting to get those integrated with the operation folks, so there's not a real concern there, just something to pay attention to. lastly, the close out of subcontractors and working through change orders, potential risks of claims, and resolution of claims, that's

going to be the long run here for closure. a handful of subcontractors have larger issues, but for the most part, we're tracking, i think, 43 subcontractors that need to get closed out. i understand from webcor that close to 40 of them is anticipated to be closed out by the end of the year. a good measure of those are just working through proper measure of what i call board feet and man hours. it's just production of change order work or perceived change order work. some of it will be schedule issues and back charges amongst us as i mentioned a couple months ago, that they overlap with some of our discussions on close out. in general, the expectation is close to 40 out of 43 will be closed by the end of the year,

and then, we have to navigate through some of the larger issues in the first quarter of 2019. so that concludes my piece of the closeout update. if there's any questions, i'll gladly address them. >> questions? >> i have a question. on the path -- and i guess it's a good question that it's so poplar and everyone's using the park, but do you anticipate it being a maintenance issue beyond the warranty period, and what are we doing to address that. >> yeah. that's why i'm reaching out to rec-park and understand what they've been doing. moving forward, when they want to get the correct patching methodology, i think we want to look closer at some of those high wear areas, with redoing

forever patching or do we look at some intersection of different points with a different wear profile? and then lastly, we kind of have to facilitate our slow walk-through, what is the delta of the third that's not performing well versus the two thirds that is, and get that addressed. so whatever larger replacement that may happen is in the successful installation column as opposed to not so successful installation column. >> thanks. >> thank you. i don't have a construction question. congratulations, again, on a great job. a question perhaps for director related to the opening. has there been consideration of a -- of an ability to bring leashed dogs to the park? i'm hearing something from d-6 office that they're still hoping to understand when that might be possible. >> our current park rules

prohibit dogs unless they're service dogs. the park has 13 distinct and sensitive habitats, gardens, that we really want to be very protective of. we also have a great water system that we need to be mindful of, so that's why the board agreed and approved that we would limit the dogs on the park for service dogs. we are working with ocii on building under ramp park and transbay park, both of which will have significant dog parks or dog runs, but it's a matter of time. >> thanks for that clarification for members of the dog. the understanding is we don't allow leashed dogs at salesforce park, but there will be other ocii parks that will allow leashed dogs. >> yes. and one other thing, director chang as we're evaluating what to do with the former temporary

terminal which is the blocks two and three and four, we're looking at some interim uses. we're looking for an opportunity to actually create some dog park in that area between now and sunny develops, so we're working -- >> that's very much appreciated. thank you. >> i have a question for you, ron. so you mentioned in your report that you would be able to close out about 40 of the packages that you have. who are the other three, and what do you see? >> well, i think right off the top of my head, they've historically had a lot of production issues and what-have-you. the ceiling tile subwill have a number of issues, and then,

schmic have had their challenges, as well. a measure of that is just interrelationship amongst themselves, kind of skewing the ability to close out, as well, in terms of the back charges, the push-pull between webcor and the various subs. so i see those four, one or two or three more that may have a drag point mostly because of its relationship or the tangential relationship of different subs overlapping. >> okay. thank you. >> all right. if i can call your next item, item seven is the facility operations update. >> and martha velez will

present this, along with some other facility people, as well. >> today's update will follow a format that's different from the previous presentations, as what follows you see in front of you is an agenda. so i will start with a general facilities update, and then, i will be followed by other updates in respective areas, and then followed by the securities update. so i'm going to highlight just a few things on the transit update. sala sal lamas shared with us last week that since moving to the transit center, ridership has

increased 7%. you can see 7% prior to opening and 15% from the prior years. amtrak continues to provide service at the temporary terminal. this means that beingtrak has not signed a lease with the tjpa for the second floor space, and also golden gate started transit service this last sunday. with regard to lincoln management, this slide is to highlight the wonderful work but the various local artists in painting the various vacant ground floor storefronts. if you haven't seen it, take the time to go and enjoy. jill manson with the sf art commission supported us by providing input on the

selections. in general, this slide is a broad summary of the operational aspects of the lincoln service in place as of opening. so the site is fully staffed with service contracts in place, including tech support from experts for 24-7 help desk service, and then also, next month, the update will include tenant improvements now we have tenants in the pipeline, we'll be reporting that to you on a monthly basis. and then lastly, this slide isn't specific to the transit center, it's the temporary terminal. we've been getting a lot of questions from the community on how the site will be used. as such, the tjpa is working with the east cut c.b.d. on some ideas, some of which are represented in the pictures and as mark just noted a few minutes ago, which would include a dog area, possibly,

on block three. also under discussion is for one or two of the blocks to be leased to a parking operator to -- to generate revenue, so we will be working on this over the next few weeks for an eventual plan back to ocii on the land use, and if the parking operator plan is palatable, that would be taken out to bid. in parallel, the east cut c.b.d. has also been gathering and soliciting community input. and keep in mind that amtrak continues to occupy block two. that's my update, so with that i'm going to turn it over to ashley langworthy for an update on the park. >> so i just want to give you a few updates on the park, in

particular, the free programming that we have. this has been extremely well received by the public. a lot of very positive feedback. we have, first, to start off, a variety of fitness and wellness programs. we have nine weekly classes that are free and open to the public, all provided by fitness sf which will be occupying a lease spot on the second floor in the future. the typical attendance is around 40 to 60 people, sometimes greater. this tuesday, we had 110 people come out for a boot camp class in the amphitheater. also we have a variety of arts and culture programming. weekly programs include writing workshops on wednesday, a litquake lunch break on wednesdays, monday night makers, and beginner knitting

on wednesdays. the photo shows the learn to knit class. we also have a variety of children and family programming. this has also been extremely well received and highly attended. i think it fills a gap in the neighborhood. we have certain kids that come, young children mostly, with their stay-at-home parent or nanny that come every day to the park, we see them. so we have toddler tuesdays, improv and movement classes on saturday nights. and then on thursday, we have a family fitness and science technology art engineering and music saturdays. and you can see our community partners who provide these programs. these typically have 10 to 30

participants. in one class, we had 80 participants at a toddler tuesday. we also have weekly theater, music and dance. these happen during lunch, after work times. also, highly attended, these are probably the largest crowds that come, sometimes between -- or typically between 150 and 300 people. variety of partners there, and we look forward to having -- developing more of this type in the future in that these take a little bit more in terms of having life performances. and then, we also -- i want to speak for just a minute about how this -- these public programs and a great park also support other -- other successes in the full transit center. so having a really great, well attended, loved park that's clean and safe and has a ton of

great programming leads to higher increases traffic for the entire center, which of course leads to higher sales for the pop ups and for the retail. with that kind of food traff-- traffic, and i want to note, we take very detailed notes. we take counts of how many people are in the park twice a day, including nights and week ends. and knowing these numbers and having these kind of data can lead to sponsorship opportunities and also increase advertising sales for the digital media center wide. so these -- having a great park is both great for the community and the people who attend it, and then, it also bolsters the financial of the full center. thank you. next, pop up retail.

>> i'm going to talk a little bit about the pop up program. in our grand hall, we have the cafe coffee caravan, and that is operating daily now. we're looking for a flower vendor. we've gone through a variety of them that have been interested and have had other operational issues not related to the grand hall. our show shine guilds are open, and our local artisans are reporting sales, actually, very pleased. in the ground level as well, we have our food truck area with signage. it's obviously much busier at lunch. it's averaging about $1,000 pertruck perday during the lunchtime, so that's exceptional. and then, the pop up market

weekly on wednesdays, which is going to shift from its original plan of 3:00 to 7:00 to 11:00 to 2:00 starting next week, so we think the lunchtime traffic is actually a better time for them. it got a great deal of very local, hand made artisans, and about 15 merchants and we're hoping to grow that. on the bus step, we have one first to market, which is c.v.s. and two of the best buy machines. best buy is reporting strong sales, c.v.s. less so, so we're looking at why that might be. fuel rod also reporting very strong sales. it's a sustainable product in when you purchase one, for $1, you can turn it in every single day and get a fully charged charger for your day at work.

and then, we have the dunkin' doughnuts, and their sales have beat projections by every single amount. and i can answer questions. >> at the very end. >> at the very end. okay. pearl. >> good morning, chairman, board. my name is daniel odom. i'm the senior price president of production at pearl media, and i'd like to give an update on the digital media. i'm sure as you walk-through the center, you see screening coming on daily. all of the media players are on-site and are awaiting install or commissioning by our subcontractor partners, and the media player reconfiguring and partner integration is ongoing. what this means is as the system comes on-line, we are reconfiguring that system and we are integrating it into the other systems. this bullet point transit

content, operating and optimizing on average, 68% complete. i want to talk about that a little bit. transit content is actually operating closer to 90 or 95% complete. if you walk the bus deck and the bus plaza levels today, you will see on the bus plaza, four out of the five screens are operating, so transit content is operating and optimizing very well. that number of 68% complete, that is the number of screens that are complete in our entire center. so out of our 101 screens, only 68 are complete. but this morning, we had 77 now completed. the grand wall had an up-dade. we have two dual 4-k cards in there, it means a cleaner, crisper picture, and we have a planned advertising start date of 9-24. as of today, we have

approximately $500,000 of tjpa revenue booked throughout q-4 for the rest of the year, and we anticipate that number to increase should things continue on this path, this number will continue to go up through the end of the year. however, we're not quite out of the woods yet. 6 # or # 7% complete is not quite 100% complete. we would like to aim for a 100% complete system on launch date 9-24. we are awaiting the branding assets and some other approvals for our color pallettes, logos, so we can make that interactive piece, and working on getting that pushed out as early as the end of this week, or consumers can use the touch screen kiosks and look at center maps, area

maps, things like that. and that being said, you know, our major commitments are still excited. they're just sort of planning a wait and see approach right now. they want to see the digital media start, they want to see the center operate at 100%, and they want to see experiences come in before they start bringing these 1 or $2 million commitments. this kind of butts right up against this 9-24 planned advertising start date, and we do want to make sure we have as close to 100% operating before we reach that 9-24 date so our advertisers are completely satisfied with their system and continue their interest and roll on into the end of the year and q-1 and q-2 next year. the elephant in the room is the video in the grand haul. we are working that and plan to have an update on that by the end of the day schedule. this is just a schedule, the

exact same schedule we showed last time, to sort of show we are tracking. you'll see that hardware completion is complete in both phases. integration and installation is still ongoing. the digital way finding development is on track, although still development, and as i noted before, we still have an ongoing process as we continue to refine how the operators are using the system, and how the advertisers and consumers are using the system. that is my facility update. any questions for me? >> so i have a very short update for you.

the s.e.c. is operational and it's providing 24-7 communications and coordinations throughout the transit center. i've been impressed with the -- [inaudible] >> can you put the slide up? okay. on sfpd security officers and ambassadors are working seamlessly to secure the transit center. our secure plan as envisioned is working out very well. as things change and the public shows us how they use the transit center, we're making changes. i'd like to thank sfpd for working so closely with us. fake service dogs have been the most pervasive problem. for security staff, i think that's a good thing considering what we could be dealing with. tjpa's working with the

partners to reduce the impact of fake service dogs on the park and also their numbers. the community's been very supportive of park rules and is taking ownership attitudes towards the park and as our executive director stated, the ocii parks will be opening in the future and be very dog friendly. since opening, quality of life committee has been meeting weekly and walking the transit center to discuss the transit center and areas of interest. we see no impact from homeless and street behaviors on the transit center since opening, so going forward, the committee is resuming its standard monthly meetings and i'd like to thank the c.b.d. for their leadership in organizing those. and that concludes my presentation, and martha and i and martha's team stand by to answer any questions. >> questions from board members. >> i have three, three

different areas. one of the comments that i got from a lot of riders is we need a clipper machine on the bus deck. is that something that we lead or tjpa -- >> i think that's man thrtha's >> i believe we need tjpa. >> better decision from the beginning to make sure the commuters had gotten their tickets at the ground level. >> yeah, i know. >> so when they got up to the bus deck level, there was assurance -- >> but yeah, the terminal's so big that if you're loading over here and down there, and you forgot your clipper® card, and you thought you had it, you know, you need to pick it up to catch your bus. so any way, i think that's something we'll take the lead on. a second one is -- maybe it's just me. i wasn't able to appreciate the

artwork that goes around. i noticed it wasn't operating the last time i was in the terminal, so was there an issue with that? >> i'm not aware of an issue. >> i was just having trouble following with because the letters are so big. anyone else? any way -- >> well, i can follow up with the art commission. >> i don't know. i just -- maybe i didn't have the patience to listen to the whole thing or whatever, but it was just one thing. and then, on the digital media, we, like muni, are changing over our real-time arrival systems and our bus tracking. and eventually -- right now, we've got it so it's just the schedule that you're posting up there on the screens, which is fine. but i presume there won't be any problem from your standpoint -- when do we have

to start coordinating with you to put up live readings. we want passengers to know they've got three or four minutes that they didn't think they had, had the bus been able to load on time. so will there be any -- how soon do you need to start coordinating that as we -- when we bring up our new real-time arrival system? >> we are coordinating with your teams on a weekly basis. we have a meeting on tuesday where we discuss that. currently, your teams are actually providing us a live feed of that information, so they have created a web u.r.l. where that information is stored and built and maintained by your team. in theory, they could just change those links and they would automatically hit the signs in the center. of course i would like to optimize and test that works, but it would be as easy as you guys modify the lichks that

you're sending us, and hit the board. there does not need to be a pass through or funnel or anything. your information is already live for all intents and purposes. >> that was what i wanted to hear. >> i have a question on the digital way finding. is it completely organized by transit way operator or is there way finding based on directionality of the service, so if i don't know that i need to take a golden gate bus -- [inaudible] >> the transit operators have their own two sections. basically it will be any information that the transit operators want to provide. there will be any information getting around the center, any potential for inside, if i am at a certain kiosk, i can choose to go to bus bay ten, and it will show me the route of which escalator to get there, and how to potentially

communicate off center services. so how do i get to some of th i think the point is that if

somebody doesn't know what transit agency goes where, i think that would need to come really from tjpa to put some overlay that would, as the gentleman just suggested, allow you to suggest your destination maybe on a map, and this would drive you to the right transit provider. >> okay. i see what you're saying. thank you. >> don't go away. i thought the park was going to be the most popular, but it's going to be you today. >> when you talk about fake dogs. >> you made a very brief comment about the elephant being the big wall and there'll be something -- status at the end of the day. does that mean is there a problem with it, is it not functioning? >> as it has come up to full operations and been running for a week or so, it has

experienced a problem. we are chasing what that problem is. we know the equipment that is providing the content and the display is functioning properly. there's something happening in between the tran -- transmission equipment to the display. there is an issue there. the producers, manufacturers, warranty, subcontractors are aware of it. they are on-site monday-tuesday-wednesday of this week, and we should have an update by the end of the day. >> when it's in this state, is it just dark? >> yes, sir. >> and then two other -- a few other things. one, you may want to use a different phrase than fake service dogs. i'm picturing like a stuffed animal with a vest on which, i don't know if that would be problematic, but it's -- maybe it's nonservice service animals. on the -- on the -- it was

encouraging to see 500,000 in just one quarter, bigger piece of the revenue picture. i know we just started, but it would be helpful at whatever the appropriate time to get reporting on actuals versus projections, 'cause i know we were making a lot of probably fairly rough guesses on projections from all of these different medias or revenue streams from the media, from the advertising, from park, so it would be helpful so that we could see how we're tracking relative to where we expected to be. >> yes, director. and my intent was to provide you something probably december time frame, just have a quarter -- >> yeah, quarterly probably make sense. >> you booked a quarter already. >> sure. >> but they haven't booked the next quarter, so i want to see how the next quarter, and then, we will do that. >> right. but not just for -- it was great to hear some of the
