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 vending machines are meeting expectations. obviously, particularly for us operators, we're eager to see those revenues coming in better than projected, which means those revenues can go towards transit service. >> but whatever you've set aside for us, don't redirect it

for the time being. >> and then, the final point had to do with two things related to traffic circulation. one is yesterday, when i was walking down beale street, and i saw what appeared to be a private vehicle turning into the bus plaza, i don't know if we -- i haven't asked my folks. i don't know if we're experiencing that a lot. i don't think there's much, if any, in the way of sign aage tt would say, transit vehicles only. i imagine somebody driving down beale, and they say to turn right. >> we've had a lot of feedback in the signage in general. we're going to take a look at it holistically. comments are appreciated because we're tracking all the feedback and then we'll figure out how to address them. >> okay. and then the second one has to

do with block two, and i already shared this with the executive director, but i think there's a strong body of research, and i think director chang could corroborate for this, the creation or availability of parking induces demand for vehicle trips. we have already a very congested downtown san francisco, particularly around the area of the trans bay terminal, so the idea of creating availability by leasing that space to a parking, i guess the allure of revenue, which, as i just said, we're eager to see revenue come in, but i would encourage, just speaking as one director, that we look at alternate tiive way generate revenue. >> yes. there are other ways, so -- but appreciate the feedback. thank you. >> just to build on that, echo,

definitely appreciate director reiskin's comments on that. regarding the terminal site, would there be a possibility of bringing back a schedule as far as determining the temporary activities, when then development of the site would be developing subsequent to that. maybe at the next meeting, you can provide an update on the schedule for all of this. thank you. >> we can do that. any other questions? all right. next item. >> moving onto the next item, is item 8, citizens advisory committee update. >> good morning, chair nuru, directors, executive director. my name is bruce aggett. i'm the chairman of the tjpa citizens advisory committee. the c.a.c. wants to

congratulate the board and the project team on the successful opening of the salesforce transit center and all the work that went into that, including some of the festivities of the neighborhood ceremony and the ribbon cutting party. the c.a.c. appreciated the thanks that we received at the ceremony for our contributions to the completion of this phase of the project. as dennis mentioned earlier, a huge thank you to the contractors and the men and women from all the trade unions involved. overall, a fantastic job, quality project, and most importantly, a job done safely. for me, i join the c.a.c. a little over five years ago, and i wanted to thank director chang, i wanted to thank director kim for recommending me for this appointment. i remember the first

presentation i attended. at that time, we were tracking status on the pub number of micropiles being installed. my first question was what's a micropile, and i learned what a micropile was. we sure have come a long way. i did track the festivities from europe. i received numerous text messages that day during the ceremonies and pictures from friends who were in attendance and also on social media. next, i wanted to follow up on

the potential quality of life issues that we've been discussing that potential issues in the vicinity regarding the transit center. all key stakeholders were in attendance, and it was clear that the members were not waiting to discuss the issues at the weekly meeting, they were in contact on a daily basis to discuss and address the issues that were identified. as no significant issues or trends have been identified to this point, we have now transitioned to monthly meetings, with the next meeting scheduled for october 1. we're pleased to see the results of the first quality of life data report, and it was published. and although there was an uptick of incidents reported in a couple of categories, the issues are being addressed, and we will continue to monitor to see how these issues trend. we will continue to keep you posted on a monthly basis. the c.a.c. was pleased to here that the sfcta commission approved to continue the design of the c.t.x. and understands and supports that the additional funding request will be made to the m.t.c. for the remainder of the funds required to complete this design work

when they become available from rm-3 early next year. we were also pleased to hear this past tuesday, the sfcta committee approved the first reading of the resolution to approve the pennsylvania alignment as the optimal alignment as recommended by the san francisco planning department. there were amendments provided through public comment suggesting the resolution contain certain language on a phased approach to the d.t.x. and pennsylvania alignment. chair peskin requested a review of the suggestions and indicated that revisions as appropriate could be included at the second reading and approved at the september 25 commission meeting. at that point, we at the c.a.c. look forward to understanding any next steps that would lead to the final approval by the city for the pennsylvania alignment extension. at our c.a.c. meeting, staff

also presented a video showing the future of rail operations at the center. the feedback was that she very well done and it was recommended that videos were available at the center so passengers can view it, envision it and feel the same excitement for rail at the transit center. we were very pleased to see the budget holding and the milestones being met. with approximately three months left to the final close out, we look forward to monthly updates, tracking practicing made on the open items and risk items as they come to closure. we are pleased to hear that forecast for these risk items are factored into the r.a.c., and of course we realize that these risks can generate over runs and know that the project team will be watching them closely. the next item was regarding the

facilities and the retail update. i'd like to start with the facilities update. we are pleased to see the progress made on the letters of intent and leases targeted for approval. we look forward to progress on the items to the end of the year and next year. we will provide feedback to the team on the slide presentation which we believe will provide additional clarity on current status versus forecasts. facility operations, although overwhelmingly the feedback regarding the center, operations and programming is very positive, the c.a.c. requested a report out on what critical feedback has been reported to this point. any specific items and any recommendations. what we have heard to date is feedback on several points. one, on the number of bathro s

bathrooms, a seating, a need for improved way finding, posting of transit center rules which are more noticeable, including information on dogs, lack of food and beverage availability on the rooftop park, efficient bus egress from the bus plaza onto fremont street, especially during rush hour, and pedestrian crossing ease and safety. we were pleased to here the issues captured by the project team to this point and the feedback we've received as c.a.c. members is very consistent. next steps. the project team will wait a few months, and the c.a.c. agreed to allow time for additional feedback before determining next steps on a variety of items to determine priority and course of action. it's clear that several items will be addressed at the completion of the listed close out item -- listed close out items. items enabling beverage and food availability are in progress.

it was good to hear that the sfmta is scheduled to conduct a study to review pedestrian flows and traffic patterns around the center, and we look forward to a presentation on the results of this study and any recommendations. permanent, more visible signs documenting rules are coming shortly, and new signs indicating dogs not allowed in the park have recently been installed and compliance is and will continue to be enforced. regarding the temporary terminal, the c.a.c. was pleased to here that the tjpa pr project team is working closely with the east cut c.b.d. for an interim utilization of the site, and quality feedback will be received from the surrounding community prior to a recommendation coming first to the c.a.c. and then here to the board. thank you for the opportunity to provide this update and happy to answer any questions.

>> okay. thank you. >> your next item is item nine, public comment which is an opportunity for the public to address items not on today's calendar but within your jurisdiction, and we've not received any indication that a member of the public wishes to address you. next item is >> okay. the closed session for the tran bay joint powers authority has adjourned. in regards to item 14, closed session, there is nothing to report.

moving to your calendar, item 15. [agenda item read] >> clerk: directors, i've not received any indication that a member of the public wants to comment on the item. >> i ccommissioners, i can ans any questions that you may have. >> yes. do we have any indications of when and where this ends? >> we're working with the jones day on revising updating the budget. an indication i got from them that they were closer to the finish line than before. it all depends on the trial date. >> so there's a chance this would be the last. >> so let me -- yes.

>> excuse me. is this coming from the management reserve, meaning the unallocated contingencies, the allocated reserve? >> yes. they requested it from the reserve. >> move for approval. >> i am trying to recall the slide that has the budget. i'm trying to figure out. >> yeah. we're encroaching on the 2.2. >> and was this discussed at the c.r.c. meeting -- okay. and what was the feedback from committee members? >> it was approved, but i must say it was reluctant. >> so moved. >> second. >> okay. so there's a first and second

and no members of the public wanting to comment on the item -- [roll call] >> clerk: that's six ayes. item 15 is approved. call the next item? >> yes, please. >> authorizing the --

>> -- 500,000 for operations, on an as needed basis, that comes from the operations budget. it's already budgeted. 600,000 for the phase one budget for the phase one close out and any closeout settlements, and 300,000 for # 01 mission which comes -- 901 mission which comes from the program reserve. >> the construction council, that's not operations? >> no. >> that's not. >> no. >> so they're part of this -- this -- >> no, the legal bench is all of them. the 500,000 will not be used --

most likely would be -- it's an as needed basis. the legal bench is the total. >> okay. yeah. >> no members of the public have commented on the item or wants to comment on the item. >> move the item. >> first and a second? >> first and second. [roll call] >> clerk: that's six ayes. item 16 is approved. go ahead and call the next item. >> yes, please. item 17. >> clerk: for flow of this, items 17 and 18, we'll go ahead and call them together: item 17 is a presentation on the execution of a lease agreement with venga, a california corporation, for 691 square feet of retail space of the new

transit center. item 18 is authorizing the executive director to complete negotiations and execute a lease agreement with td transbay, a california limited liability company, d.b.a. per diem for about 3,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground level of the new transit center. >> okay. good morning, directors, erica elliott from the retail leasing team at colliers. i'm excited to show you our progress. first a bit of an update before we get too far. there we go. so this is a pictureport that e seen before, but today, we have over 360 registered inquiries. you can see in the column for letters of intent that they span to include most

categories, which we're really excited about. one item to notice that since the opening of the center, we are having to conduct few you are cores -- fewer choerres. one fact also that we'd like -- that we're kind of proud about is the fact that since opening, several tenants who had previously passed because it was under construction, they couldn't visualize it, couldn't get their arms around it from come back to us to wanting to submit offers on spaces and how we're happily able to inform them that they have quite a bit of competition, so if you --

progress by stage, how are we doing with the schedule that we've laid out, and you all approved for us? to summarize, our progress to date, we have 19 spaces and letters of intent. we are in lease negotiations for eight spaces, and we have approved leases for another eight spaces. so with 16 in lease negotiations and the ones that have already been approved, we are ahead of schedule to have 13 or more open by the end of second quarter next year. our general update, actively touring seven interested parties, that's this week. 19 active l.o.i.'s and eight spaces in active negotiations. many of the spaces have two or more back up deals, negotiating the deal to get the best deal proform aas we can.

we're working with tenants to activate for permanent rooftop activiation, and then, we have daily meetings with our team at lynn cal and turner to go through all the t.i. and the construction. the financial summary. today we are presenting per diem for your approval. it will be serving lunch and dinner monday through friday and dinner on saturdays and sundays, and it will have a full bar. the design that will match its sister location on sutter street, sutter at sansome, and it will be eclectic and sophisticated. most of the decorations are items that they find at flea markets or estate sales, so it's quite fun. we ask that you approve this deal. since our last meeting, we've

also signed a smaller restaurant space, a local leoned business with a -- locally owned business with a moderate priced menu. this will be their second location, venga and panata. so as a summary, of the 100,000 square foot of retail, today you are approving a space of about 3,000 square feet, so that would total for the approved doles to date, 47,222, which -- deals to date, 47,222, which is about 47% of the spaces. of the annual growth income expected for year one, we are about 51% committed.

>> i have a question on the policy here. >> yes. >> go back to the slides. it's a very good summary because if we're receiving 51% are their base rent based on a 47% square footage lease and 47 is of the space leases, the 47% of the square footage lease, most of it is going to be on the second floor, so what are we going to be seeing coming in on the first floor is higher rents, maybe. it's a good trend. it looks -- continually, it looks like -- financially, it looks like a good trend. having said that, with operators, keep please the money, and don't spend it. >> it's in the mail. >> so material terms are growing above pro forma, and after opening, we have increased interest, as i said before, with multiple offers perspace. 47% of the area leased. you can tell by our colored chart here -- i know it's quite

small, but that green area that isn't leased it getting smaller. 99% of the spaces have multiple interested parties, and since opening and this is actually -- there's actually more than this list right now, but three more l.o.i.s submits, six more tours, and three more inquiries, so it's speaking for itself. >> how many inquiries have you had for the big deal restaurant in the park? >> we've had probably over ten inquiries, and he have we've had multiple tours. >> no l.o.i.s? >> no, we do. >> oh, you do have an l.o.i.? >> we do. >> okay. >> so we'd like to ask you to authorize to complete negotiations and execute the per diem lease. any questions? >> i have a few questions. one.

what would be the timing of opening of these two. we have two items, but your deck -- the items to approve today, and there was one. >> right. because the per diem lease meets the parameters for your approval. venga 1 is below that, and the director has already assigned it. >> then why is it on the agenda? >> it's just to show -- >> one item just informational item and i wanted to include it in the staff report to let you know it's been excused since july. >> and the timeline for when these would be open. >> so we're hoping to meet our schedule of having these as being part of the 13 spaces that will be open by the end of second quarter. >> second quarter. great. >> keeping it conservative. >> great. >> motion. >> second. >> okay. we have a first and second call the role. >> first and second on item 18, and no members of the public wishing to comment.

[roll call] >> clerk: six ayes, item 18 is approved. go ahead and call your next item. item 19 is authorizing the director to transfer 15 million. [inaudible] do we have presentation on this item? >> good morning, directors, i'll present this one, give some background. as was stated in the opening comments there, it's -- most of the 15 million that's being requested to move the program reserve is related to construction contingency. it's a replacement of items specifically related to the general conditions change orders that have been implemented as part of a good portion of which is the extension of time.

originally, we were supposed to be completed in december 2017. obviously, it's gone later than that. to offset that, all of those change orders, we actually have utilized the cmgc contingency. knowing that culpability on this time is an element as part of the spans beyond december 2017. other items on there is the tjpa's interest in admin expenses and then construction admin from a design support from the pelle architectural staff is also pieces of these, as well. to the director's comment earlier about this -- on this -- i think this was the screen that you were referring to. this particular ask of 15 million has already been included and accounted for, so in our original e.a.c.'s, so the estimation of completion is not changing at all because

we've accounted for this under our risk slides and have built that into it. also all the items in here have gone to the cost reviewing committee, on coding a change order, a close out that has went to the cost review committee as this past one as well, to. what this -- what this is really the 2.59 million because it's phase two construction. to bring it back, another slide from ron and i's presentation, this shows the current which is slightly different than what's in the staff report. the one from a staff report is from a couple months ago. this is current, showing 3.7 million, with a total program reserve of 83.1 million in there as well, too. so i use that 83.1 million number as i refer now to the next slide. taking that to this, this slide is intended to wrap up all of the actions that have gone on

the previous action items today, including the 15 million. so we had 83.1 million, the june stay, legal bench, including the 15 million, leaves us after this, if approved at $62.6 million left in program reserve. >> questions? yes. oh, okay. >> can you go back to the second slide? i was just looking -- i didn't -- no, the one before. >> oh, the budget slide, yes.

i was just looking at a number. i'm fine. >> okay. any other questions, directors? okay. motion? do i have a motion? >> i'll move approval. >> second. >> first and a second, no members of the public wishing to comment on approval. [roll call] >> clerk: that's six ayes. item 19 is approved. go ahead and call your next item, item 20. >> yes, please.

[inaudible] >> clerk: and we have -- [inaudible] >> skip sacco, satdpa, engineering manager. this item is amended to the agreement with parsons transportation group. we're extending it six months. we're increasing amount under the agreement by $14.82 million for a total of $22.3 million. we currently have part of the funding from prop k as our executive director mentioned, and we'll be seeking the remainder of it from rm-3 shortly, as soon as -- the beginning of the year. we're working with m.t.c. now currently. the scope of the work is 30% design. it's for the mine tunnel, using

tunnel -- it's 30% design for the mine tunnel, using tunnel boring machine between the transit center and fourth and townsend street station. and the complete 30% design is described in the supplemental environmental document, which was the -- was the work that we were unable to complete as a result of holding off on it, the result of the r.a.p. study. we're updating the phase two cost estimate, and we're preparing the documents for the advanced utility relocation work, which is minor work, but it clears the waytor shovel ready. continue coordinate with the city and caltrain and high speed rail. so the considerations, by

extending the parsons, it puts us in perexpect position for the project to be shovel -- perfect position for the project to be shovel ready. this puts us in the best position and allows us to stay on schedule. the team has participated in recent studies and peer reviews to move this as well as the r.a.b. study forward. team is well versed in agreements between with tjpa partners. that's including all of this. this extension will provide the project dwsh-position the project to proceed with the design build or design bid build in the future, so we've got to bring this to the 30% design level effort, we're going to package this, we'll be working with this in the summer to make that decision. we'll be doing a new contract

for someone to pick this up, take the 30% design, and either package it as a design build projector complete the design. so -- and we want to get this -- this construction bid documents -- complete them in 2020 to be -- so they'll be able to advertise in 2021 to meet our schedule for high speed rail to be able to enter the transit center in 2028. so our recommendations here is to -- for the -- for the board to authorize the executive director to execute the amendment number five to the agreement with parsons transportation group and to extend the term six months, increase the maximum amount under the agreement by 14.82 million for a total of 22.3 million and amend the key personnel.

any questions? >> director reiskin? >> two. one, regarding the scope post delivery 30%, is developing recommendations within the scope of this contract or will that be done by tjpa staff or elsewhere? >> we'll be working internally to do that as well as we can use our ppmc group to help us in that effort, and we'll be making that decision next summer to be able to put out a contract with that language in it. >> objection. a and -- okay. and then, can you confirm that this is the last extension of this contract that we'll be contemplating and any subsequent engineering work or design build work will be done under a new and separate procurement? >> director reiskin, i can confirm that definitely going beyond the 30%, we're going to

release an r.f.p., depending on what the board chooses, we would present the procurement strategies to the board. so we want to get to the point where we have a deliverable to be able to work with. if we don't get the region three measure money in time, we'd have to get some additional money in order to reach the 30%. we have the sfpta money, but it's not enough, so there's a timeline there that we have to meet. >> just waund to underscore the activities of the parsons development. >> we did a procurement strategy about a year ago, and

i'm pretty sure we shared it with the scta staff, so we're going to share it with the entire team, as well as caltrain. i mentioned high speed rail because they're a funding partner, as well. >> thank you. when you -- >> -- otherwise, they might have a conflict of interest. >> yeah. yeah. okay. we'll look into that, then. >> okay. >> no members of the public have indicated they want to comment on the item.

because the tenant will -- for the longest, i was applying for b.m.r. rental, but i would be in the lottery and never be like 307 or 310. i pretty much had kind of given up on that, and had to leave san francisco. i found out about the san francisco mayor's office of housing about two or three years ago, and i originally did home counseling with someone, but then, my certificate expired, and one of my friends jamie, she was actually interested in purchasing a unit. i told her about the housing program, the mayor's office, and i told her hey, you've got to do the six hour counseling and the 12 hour training. she said no, i want you to go with me. and then, the very next day that i went to the session, i

notice this unit at 616 harrison became available, b.m.i. i was like wow, this could potentially work. housing purchases through the b.m.r. program with the sf mayor's office of housing, they are all lotteries, and for this one, i did win the lottery. there were three people that applied, and they pulled my number first. i won, despite the luck i'd had with the program in the last couple years. things are finally breaking my way. when i first saw the unit, even though i knew it was less than ideal conditions, and it was very junky, i could see what this place could be. it's slowly beginning to feel like home. i can definitely -- you know, once i got it painted and slowly getting my custom furniture to fit this unit because it's a specialized unit, and all the units are microinterms of being very

small. this unit in terms of adaptive, in terms of having a murphy bed, using the walls and ceiling, getting as much space as i can. it's slowly becoming home for me. it is great that san francisco has this program to address, let's say, the housing crisis that exists here in the bay area. it will slowly become home, and i am appreciative that it is a bright spot in an otherwise >> the teams really, really went above and beyond and is continuing to do that today. this past year, the san francisco public utilities

commission water quality division started receiving many more requests to test for lead in the public school system here in san francisco as a result of legislation that had passed from the state requiring all of the public schools to do lead testing. and so as a result, the public utilities commission and the water quality team in particular was asked to meet with the san francisco unified school district to begin to prioritize which schools to test to meet that state mandate. >> the team that tests, we're a full service environmental laboratory, and we take care of both the needs of the water quality division and the waste water enter price. and on the water quality enterprise, we have to also have drinking water that meets all federal and state quality regulations. and lead in schools, we're playing a problem in remediating this problem of lead in schools. >> our role here in

communications is being able to take the data that we have that we know is protective of public health and safety and transmit it, give it to the public in a way they understand we are really doing our jobs well and making sure that they are safe always. >> the public learned very quickly all the accurate facts and all the critical information that they needed to know, and it's up to these individuals and their agencies and their commitment to the city. >> i enjoy the work because i can help people, and i can help the utilities to provide a better water quality, make sure that people feel that drinking hetch hetchy water is actually a pride. >> hats off to the water quality team because between them working on late nights, working on the weekends when the schools are closed, and working as a partner in the school district for the times they found a higher lead sample, they worked through to address that, so the team went

above and beyond and is continuing to do that today. t meeting of the small business commission held on monday, september 10, 2018. order at 5: small business commission thanks media services and sfgovtv for televising the meeting which can be viewed on sfgovtv 2 channel 78 or live streamed at sfgovtv.org. members of the public please take this moment to silence all phones and electronic devices. public comment during the meeting is limited to three minutes per speaker unless otherwise established by the presiding officer of the meeting. speakers are requested but not required to
