>> president cook: okay. i'd like to do that now. >> are you asking, do you have to do it now? >> president cook: i'm asking is it possible to have four names? because i brought that before in a previous discussion, and it hasn't been added. >> yes, you're doing that in a noticed open meeting. there isn't any conversation happening not in a meeting, so it's perfectly fine if you want to add as many names as you wish to be added. >> president cook: okay, great. >> president cook, i'm sorry, i failed to mention that the committee did vote to move the resolution forward with a positive recommendation, pending the substitute motion. >> president cook: thank you. let's see, number 3 -- curriculum, was there curriculum? >> i wanted to announce that there is not going to be a curriculum committee meeting in november and probably not december either, unless something happens and we need to meet because there's something.

happy election day. i hope everybody has voted or will be voting. i hope for good outcomes. i do want to start with a couple of special recognitions for a couple of highly valued but departing employees. i would like to ask the government affairs director to come come forward to recognize one of her staff. >> good afternoon. today i have the privilege and honor to start the recognitions with my colleague dillon young or departing government affairs manager. dillon joined in 2014. during the last four and-a-half years has created a strong respected presence for the agency. he has provide you had highly effective leadership in an environment of constant change. he is a strategist and

negotiator working independently as part of the teams to build and lead effective coalitions. his approach of keeping everyone informed no matter the issue, insured there were as few surprises as possible, and that the agency was as prepared and responsive as we could be. dillon is known for burning the midnight oil. if you got any of his misses sent after midnight. his updates are on any given issue were always appreciated.

that is essential to the transportation system and emerging technology and different modes of transportation i have had the privilege of witnessing the dedication and i hope to contribute to the great work. anything i have accomplished is through my colleagues and folks in the room and the mayor's office, the transportation authority and passionate stakeholders during this disruptive time. so i want to thank this board, director and kate you and director of government affair to entrusting me with this role and for your leadership and courage toward others. especially during these challenging times. finally, i want to acknowledge my colleagues.

janette martin son, kathleen and jd. they further protected the agencies and the transportation agency at the federal and state and local represents. they represent the critical work of the divisions of this large organization. effectively and humbly in the service you of others which is true leadership. it made it possible for me to do anything i may have accomplished. thank you for having me stand up. i want to thank my wife trish, my in-laws, meredith and fred and my 7-year-old daughter in school. they are all my favorites. from the board of supervisors, the of the who looks at the camera like she does. thanks for all of the voice messages with mom and all of the notes in my bag when i had to work late and when i am not with

you i am probably with you. we will watch this on sf government tv later. i am with our amazin amaze amaz. as an american of chinese descent from the south of china to san francisco, where i was born, where all of my relatives lived in the sun set and richmond. to be recognized in the same meeting with a nationally award-winning cfo and public servant of indian descent it is greater to be recognized on this election day as people vote to shape the future of the country. with that, thank you for the honor and for the opportunity to

speak. [applause.] >> so that is a bit of a tough act to follow. i will say that as you know in this work and this agency, we don't get a lot of positive feedback. let alone unsolicited positive feedback from o elected officials. dillon was one of the few rare sources of such unsolicited positive feedback from elected official that i would get regularly on the second floor.

he is a tremendous asset. you can tell from what he said. tremendous asset to this agency. sorry to see him go, grateful for five years of outstanding service. we wish him the best. to move on. i am down here because i am taking the opportunity to you recognize you our cfo. i wish i had come up with a phrase like dapper diplomat. i don't think either of those fit, certainly not the diplomat. maybe if our outgoing director of finance and information technology can join me, she told me already today she is tired of the accolades. we were planning a parade. we have to cancel that. for more than 10 years she has been providing passionate,

professional outstanding service to this agency, to the people of san francisco. dillon mentioned she is nationally recognized. she is an amazing force not just for the agency, but for the ci city, transit agency and the region. someone we will not be able to nor will try to replace. she most known for being our cfo and managing our finances exceptionally well, much to the dismay of her colleagues and people in the agency. because of her work, we have the highest credit rating of any transit agency in the country. when you read into the reports that sound financial management is one of things that jumps to the top. that is driven by her, all of

good financial policies this board has adopted emanated from her fiscal conservatism, but with that fiscal conservatism she brought creativity and can do attitude to do the great work we have done in the decade applause expanding the muni service, amazing capital program double today what it was not too long ago. our operating budget is probably more than double today what it was. a lot of that was her dogged determination and passion for the work of this agency. she was, although she was the cfo and known as director of finance and information technology, she over saw the real estate and other aspects of the organization.

she often strayed to managing transit and streets and taxis as well. i always appreciated her lack of boundaries, her unsolicited advice, but her willingness day and night to be thinking about and trying hard to do what is right for transportation and san francisco and the region and the state and nationally. i could go on but i imagine some of you may have words. we did recognize her last week and she was also recognized by mabymay or breed. it was the day she got a certificate of appreciation from the board of supervisors and the legislator and the assembly members. i know there will be a ripple effect with her departure

because of how deep her impact was on what we do here. we are not going to try to replace her. we will fill the position. there will be no replacing her and we will try to make sure she doesn't shut off her phone so that should we need to continue to get unsolicited advice from her there is an avenue to do that. it is a great honor for me to work with her. sometimes i felt like for her. i certainly learned a lot from her. i do think the financial success of agency is because you have her and her team and the great work they have done to make us all look good. i ask you to join me in thanking her for her great years of service. (applause).

>> wow. dillon, you started crying. i may go down that route with you. before i say a few words. i want to thank dillon we have exchanged e-mails in the middle of the night. dillon, thank you for your great work. i have appreciated working with you. thank you, ed. you must be getting tired of saying nice things about me. in the last several weeks you spent a lot of time saying nice things. i am humbled by the accolades. i have many faults but hopefully you believe i paid a small part in moving the agency forward. thank you for putting up with me. i am not the normal kind of cfo. i want to give a shout out to the nta colleagues as dillon did who work tirelessly without much recognition. i would like to recognize all of you today for your great work.

a special gratitude to the fit folks who always supported me over the year and have done incredible work. i have not done any of it, these guys have done all of it. i leave with a plea that you continue your hard work. it is often very difficult and frustrating but i have faith that you will continue the work and the public deserves the system. my last i would like to leave you with a poem. she was born in calcutta. i have got to leave. it is call farewell. i have got to leave bid me farewell, i bow to all you have you and take my departure. i give the keys back to my door and give up the claims to the house. i only ask the last kind words from you. we were neighbors for long, but i received more than i could give. now the day has dawn and the

lamp that lit my dark corner is out. the summons has come and i am ready for my next a long journey. thank you all. [applause.] >> now you have made me cry. directors, would anybody like to say nice things while i stop crying? >> well, to dillon as well, you are joining a wonderful company, the roberts family. i have been very close for many years. they helped start comcast from a small cable television station in new york. now they are nbc and universal.

you are joining a good force, and i wish you luck. i want to thank you for always being there for me to give me advice and council. the poem last few words say to the last a long journey. i hope it involves tawing a call from a future governor. >> you don't have a poem. i can only say nice things. i said the funny things at your retirement party. i will repeat one thing that i said at the party here publicly which is you helped us through a very difficult time. we are abelias well and i was always impressed by your candor. we have had offline discussions about the importance of the reserve and make training physical discipline around looking for the future and avoiding short term gain to get

long-term benefit. this board has done that through your direction. i would leave that to some of the newer director on the board. i am proud what you and i accomplished together so thank you. >> i always have such confidence in the audits and financials. you taught me much more about public accounting which is different than private sector accounting. you were always looking out for the agency to make sure we were planning for the future and making smart investments. we are so fort natural to have you. -- fortunate to have you. we are in a good place. i don't know if we will ever be able to fill your shoes. >> thank you. >> i am going to talk so much. i just want to say thank you for

your hard work. you are amazing. thank you so much. >> thank you all. >> i work understand finance in a prior career. it was one of those things where it was easy to come here and know that was taken care of and done with confidence and skill and in a way i never had to worry about it. not thinking about it is a testament to how good a job everything was done in such a big agency. thank you. >> thank you. on behalf of the board of directors and the entire city thank you so much for your years of service. i am amazed you are stepping away without a promise not to make muni free for everyone and immediately take all of the ads off the buses. thank you again.

(applause). >> that was very dangerous the way you baited her just then. i do have a number of other things i want to cover some i didn't cover last time. vision zero. i want to let you know as speeding is a top cause of traffic collisions and fatalities on our streets. we have restarted the safe streets media campaign. you will hear it on drive time radio and see it on bus shelter ads. reminder it is the leading cause of fatal and serious collisions in the city. we want to make sure people remember to slow down. we will continue to share that message and some good news is

that san francisco's stick to the limit video is now playing at california dmv field offices statewide. it remains important not a day goes by where we don't have a reminder of the tragedy that can strike in our city. yesterday we had two of those within a few blocks of each other. on powell street. the first was 6:00 a.m. there was a motorcyclist involved in a collision on the corner of broadway and powell. the preliminary indications we have suggest a car traveling eastbound on broadway made an illegal mid block you turn from the right lane hitting the motorcycle traveling in the same direction. a little after midday a block away on powell and vallejo an

elderly female pedestrian was struck by a large truck turning on to stockton. i don't believe we have information or names of victim. in a single day in a couple blocks we had two more people die on our streets. that is tragic. the risk every peteing not just -- repeating both were preventable. we will continue to work with the police on the specifickics of these cases to see what we can do but certainly our thoughts and prayers go to families and friends of those who lost their lives needless leo our streets. neither of these happened in the evening or they didn't happen in the evening. this is on the heels of daylight savings time. we want to remind everyone as it

gets darker earlier and people are driving at dark when it used to be light to be extra careful, go slowly and look out for people in the public right-of-way. if you are driving, walking, biking, beware of that visibility change is something everyone needs to pay attention to. on a little more upbeat note. earlier this month san francisco was recognized bye-by by the big magazine behind seattle. this is done every two years based on safety, bike friendlynis, political climate and culture. they specifically noted progress we made in installing protected bike lanes in 2010.

you may recall we didn't have a single protected bike line. now we have 10 covering 20 miles of our streets and one is coming your way today. they recognize the city's efforts to reduce fatalities through zero and the goal through sustainable mode. despite the tragic news of yesterday, it is good to be recognized for some of the good work your leadership is enabling here. switching gear to muni. an update on the work we are doing to improve muni service. as you know, after a decline in service during the construction shut down, the mayor called us to rye double our efforts to -- re-double our efforts to make it more safe. we have taken steps to do that. we have delivered 95% of our

scheduled service over the last three weeks which is up from where we were in july. it is not where we want to be, at minimum 98.5 in the charter. we want to be at 100. we are making progress there. we have been able to reduce gaps on the rapid bus lines and on the muni metro lines and slight improvement in on time performance. part of how we address groups is adjusting balancing the service that might work against on time performance but provides better spacing of the vehicles. there are some trends that are moving in good directions such as crime on muni dropping 10% and assaults decreased by 43%.

we continue to work on reducing collisions by an additional 5%. really looking at all aspects of the services safety, reliability and we are making progress there. along those lines on saturday, november 17th. , we will song more more than -- honor more than 50 muni driving with 15 years or more. four have more than 35 years of safe driving including the cable car division with 44 years of safe operations with muni. that is unbelievable. i do want to note every day in an increasingly complex environment the vast majority of the operators are operating

safety and demonstrating excellence in service to the hundreds of thousands they serve. to be eligible they must have driven a minimum of 2000 hours each fiscal year without an avoidable collision for 15 years that is a testament. we look forward to recognizing them on the 17th. a couple other things. elevator status web page. this is something we heard from the director and members of the public. the significant issue for those relying on elevators. to enhance accessibility of our stations there is a new web page where people can see the current status of all muni metro elevators. it is sfmta.com/elevators design

to improve muni trip planning to those rely on the elevators. they will be able to see the status of the elevators and make a change to plans. station agents are the best source of information on the status of elevators. after feedback we allow them to enter updates in realtime from their booth. as soon as they know, which is as soon as anybody knows, everybody in the public will know. this was great between the transit, i t, communications and accessible services. we will continue to make improvements. we encourage anyone using the page to give us feedback on how it is working. one construction update with regard to the new ucsf mission bay platform.

beginning next monday we will be closing the platform through late april of 2019. during this time period with platform closed the t will skip the mission base stop. we need to shut this down. as you may recall we are constructing a new center platform on third between south and 16th street in front of new arena and development is being built. this will be a larger platform like king street? front of at&t park. it will accommodate the crowds associated with events at the new event center. we will be providing bus substitution from -- on novembe. from november 30 to dust 3 and january 4 to late february. we will have shut downs of

different durations. we are making sure merchants and riders and neighborhood groups are aware. we started that outreach a number of months ago. we will have ambassadors out catching good lessons from construction related shut downs including making sure the rest of the service remains sound in accommodation of this project. i want to let you know about that. with regard to the facilities, a couple weeks ago we convened the first meeting of the working group with an introduction to the project. the yard is a 100-year-old project in need of renovation. we launched the progress program to ensure the facilities are equipped with capacity to keep up with population growth and are brought into good seismic

condition. while we have one of the newest and greenest and most advanced transit fleets the facilities to support the fleets are generally old and outdated and over capacity. the first modernization of the yards will be the patrayio yard at 17th and bryant. it is a full city yard between 17th and mar and mariposa. we will remove the facility and develop it from the groundout. it will be modern with more capacity and we will provide development opportunity four housing in line with the mayor's desire to increase the amount of housing we have in the city. we have a working group, and we

would love more community input. folks interested can go to sfm sfmta.com/building contract to apply. a couple last things. on this coming saturday, the tenth, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. we will hold an open house four the 27 bryant transit reliability project. improvements we can make in terms of reliability and reducing delays on the 27 bryant which serves disproportionate de low income ridership. it will be at the clubhouse on eddy street. looking for feedback from riders and others in the neighborhood what would make that route more

usable by more folks. the following wednesday, november 14th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. there ask an open house four the bikeway. we have been charged by the mayor with accelerating what we can do in terms of demonstration project. we will showcase what we developed from market to 15th. then receiving input four the rest of it from 15th to 24th. we look forward to feedback to getting something up and running soon. this thursday from 5:00 to 7:00, at the sf moma, we are going to have a transit open house for third street transit and safety project. as you probably know coming up

through south market, we have read transit only lanes for the high volume buses that use third street. if you have ever ridden those you know those lanes are performing well. there are a lot of conflicts with heavy and right turning traffic to the bay bridge. what we are looking to do through the open house is solicit feedback on ideas about redesigning that street, particularly the location of the transit lane to make it more effective and less gummed one traffic. a number of different open house us. we hope there is good participation from the public. the folks that can't make it we encourage feedback. that concludes my report. >> thank you very much. that was a jam-packed director's report. do i have any comments on the

report? any observations? >> yes. >> thank you for the report. i wonder if you could reflect on the top few causes of the inability to deliver 100% of service. what specific intersections are designed to address those barriers? >> it varies. at the moment it is operator availability is our biggest challenge. some days on the rail service we deliver 100%. we are closer to having full staffing. although we have you increased the number of operators we have since the summer, it is going to take a little bit more time for us to catch up, and while we have had challenges in the past in terms of getting new operators for part-time work.

until recently we did not have challenges filling classes for full-time work. the last advertisement for new bus operator positions we got more than 800 folks who signed up. when it came time to fill the first class this month, we were having trouble filling the double size class. we will double the efforted to work with the office of marketing to reach the neighborhoods and through the community-based organizations to find folks unemployed or underemployed or potentially entad in good candidates for the operators operation. one path is bringing in new operators. the other is getting operators who are trained not working getting them back to work.

>> thank you. vice chair. i want to touch on the feedback with the consumers. generally our system is about next bus and next trains are gaining popularity and more and more relied on by users. we have a new system coming in for the next bus system, buts my understanding is that is the system for the bus us. the train system is not tied up with that, is that correct? >> no the next generation system will cover the whole system. >> the new signs and signage is the display. the change in the underlying technology will affect the trains as well? >> that's correct. >> when we get reports which i

personally do and see about has time we had fun about someone getting to school and the next bus not right. the thing i have seen personally and received comments on the signs and through the app is phantom trains, particularly with the shuttle train. for whatever reason it will say it is coming in two minutes and disappear. they say five minutes then magically bounce to 19 minutes. is the best answer for the public that we are aware of it around this is part of the redesign with the prediction sochi olympics? >> we are aware of it. doing what we can to address issue nuss the short term. we have been identifying the issues. the goal is by th the end of ths month to have those addressed.

software upgrades there. are limitations to the present system. right now we are seeing problems you are referencing we might address within the existing system. we don't want to ask people to wait a couple years. we have identified problems. we are looking at software upgrades. we are aching for the end of the month. -- he appreciate. the overhaul is going to take time and people are rely on this more and more. i appreciate that. maybe at some point we can get a report back on once those things have been implemented how they are workings because i think this is a sore spot for consumers relying on the technology to find out when their transit is coming. >> i don't know if it will be in

place for the next meeting. >> i would prefer to have the report once you know how effective it is and whether the board needs to authorize something else. i am happy to wait two or three meetings. >> thank you. >> i want to say thanks to the staff that worked on the elevator status page. that is a great improvement. i know from friends using the system is more accessible when you can epocha stations you will be able to use. i appreciate the agents and the ability to update information in realtime. >> thank you. no more comments. do i have any public comment on the directors' report? >> you do. her been weaner, karl then

jerrek. these are only topics addressed by mr. riskin. >> herbert weiner. i want to welcome ms. eakins to the board. always vote your conscience. now, unfortunately, the policy of mta is not fixing muni. it is fixing the passenger. last weekend was frustrating. i waited a half our. -- half hour. you had two buses at the same time. what remedy is there to this? one, you could transner the muni bosses responsible four this, send them to any agency in the

city, housing authority, port authority or the mayor's office or simply fire them. the other solution is breaking up the mta. muni is such a complex problem it is consult to manage parking and the taxis. all three departments need specific attention. i am not recommending a reduction in 1578 refor the head of the muni. it is a consult job. you cannot fix the passenger. this is a bogus policy. i am the target. it is painted on my back. thank you. >> next speaker, please. marry mcguire.

>> tea. >> good afternoon. i ask the direct tour one-time can i have your budget of 16 and 17? she refused to give me the document. thethen i went to the freedom of information and got the budget. when i look at the budget. i see a $20 million gap. this lemake -- they will make that from the sale of the taxi medallion. there was no sale. what a wonderful personality. in two seconds she said, yes, we are short on this, and we have

not corrected it. this is the integrity of the human. whatever you have done it but you just say yes. she didn't say not to hide a document, i give a name and i have a document to prove it. liar. this is the difference between the boards. when you listen to me, if i am a liar, kick me out of the door. it is not the money but the integrity. thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >> thank you. i would like to address the red lanes. it is something i have been observing a lot. you know the new scooters, e scooters on the streets. they are riding in the red

lanes. that is one person holding up a bus full of people that want to get home. at times i see two or three abreast having conversations. i would like to see that. thank you. >> thank you. >> that is the last person to address you. public comment is closed. one more, please, come up, sir, if you have comments to give. >> if you have public comment, please approach now. you can state your name. you don't need a speaker's card if it is on the director's report. >> thank you. public comment is closed. >> quick question thank ago

commissioner mcguire for feedback. it is important to hear from the professional tax see driver -- taxi drivers. i assume it is not legal for a scooter to be in the red lane. part of the reason for the regulatory program is for two responsible points of contact. might ican we see if they have n education campaign to deal with this? mary's point is right on. >> thank you. public comment is closed. moving to the next. >> item 8. citizens advisory report. >> good to see you. >> good afternoon, directors.

happy voting day. first of all, i know they are out tough room, but i would like to echo the thank thank yous and farewells. i knew her. she helped us on the council guiding us through the budget meetings with much good humor. i will miss her one-liners. we passed the one motion at the most recent meeting. directodirect director riskin pd an overview of harassment des crimnation and workplace issues are handled which was appreciated to have an open discussion about it. we passed the following motion after that discussion. the sfmt recommends that they

extend harassment train you go to all employees including nonsupervisory employee employeo report harassment and present trend findings publicly. this motion seeks to create away for employees to feel respected. this cannot be solved like an engineering problem. it is about people. we can't ignore it. we have to treat each other well. thanks again. happy thanksgiving. i will probably see you next in december. thank you. >> thank you for your continued service, much appreciated. do i have public you comment on the cac report? >> i would like to speak

favorably on the advisory committee report. bullying at the work site slows down pro ducks u duck activity -- productivity. this is happening in every size agency and has to be stopped. all agencies have to stop witnessing this. bullying is equivalent to domnesstic violence, -- domestic violence and child abuse and school shootings, which resulted as the product of bullying. it is not acceptable to any city agency and i comment you compliment the city advisory committee. >> any public comment.

>> taylor el grin. i want to continue what is said by the advisory committee. i will ask the board to consider that among all of you. there was discussion at the last meeting a lot of members of the biking committee felt that there was behavior that was inappropriate for the sfmta board, and it was in relation to some of the discussion around the sixth street improvements. i can go to the discussions. the uncomfortable discussion at the last meeting should be addressed to did directors. public comment could be made to address that discussion, which i think, and many others i was

speaking too, felt it was inappropriate nor public consumption. >> any other public comment? we will move on. item 9. this is an opportunity for members to address the board on matter was in the jurisdiction of the board of directors not on the agenda. >> two minutes. >> good afternoon, madam chair and members of the board. our new members to the board and meningen dairy -- legendary members. i am here to speak on behalf of the aaa shared mobility service. i serve as the government affairs director for aaa
