the exact dollar amount we'll receive each year is based on the final rozon sailiation. we would -- final reconciliation. with that, i can take any questions. >> chair peskin: are there any questions from miss la fort. is there any public comment? seeing no public comment, thank you for that presentation. is there a motion to approve the grant framework? made by commissioner yee, seconded by commissioner kim, and we have the same house, same call [ gavel ]. >> chair peskin: the item is approved on first reading. next item, please. [agenda item read] >> chair peskin: miss hyatt. >> rachel hyatt, district planner. this is the district ten ntip planner. we looked for projects that

will improve health, care quality, reduce vehicle miles traveled in district ten, especially through partnership of developers in all of the major development areas that are happening in district ten as well as emerging mobility services. we built off all of the long amount of planning that has been done in district ten and our deep understanding of the needs that have been vocalized throughout the years, and we used a cocreation strategy in developing the recommendations. we worked with an outreach team that used techniques, working with all of the stakeholders, so community members, both new and long-time residents, but also institutions, employers, and representatives of the development community to cocreate the solutions that we're recommending today. the first area of recommendation is new mobility.

and microtransit or shuttle is recommendition as that we heard. we -- is recommendations that we heard where they are consistent with m.t.a.'s private transit vehicle permit requirements. i also want to mention the private microtransit services that m.t.a. does offer through their paratransit program that are available to seniors and people with disabilities. we have recommendations to support expanding the availability of sharing services. so for instance, moped sharing services, car share services throughout district ten, working with the planning department, and with developers or private property owners to do that and make those more available, and also to support these firms doing outreach or

services doing outreach to the community in relevant ways, community relevant marketing. we heard a lot of demand of support for school trip making and support for alternative ways to get kids to school and to recommend continuing pilot and experiment with school trip, ride matching or school trip microtransit. we heard a lot of interest, so mobility services are tools that can support people being able to shed a car, being able to not have to own a car to access mobility services but instead be able to reach a whole array of different types of mobility services through technology. and we heard interest in these types of services, especially programs where you get rewarded for your sustainable travel, and these kind of rewards,

transportation rewards programs are things that employers or institutions like a hospital, school or a transportation management association can -- can implement. we also heard a lot of demand and recommend we're publicizing of services that make these technology-based tools available to people who don't speak english, available to people who don't have smart phones. i mentioned some of the rewards that can be implemented through developers. and our last category was about partnerships, partnerships between the community, between community based organizations and between mobility service providers to expand the reach of these transportation programs. we heard a lot of interest in the transportation management

association or transportation coordinator concept. this is a role that many new developments are either required to or are choosing to offer as a trip management or travel demand reduction measure, and we do recommend some strategies in this study to work with the planning department to make these types of services, coordinator services available to existing land uses as well as the new land uses coming in and to coordinate them and expand their efficiency and their reach through coordination mechanisms. please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you -- and thank you to the district ten office. >> chair peskin: thank you, ms. hyatt. commissioner cohen? >> president cohen: thank you. don't have any questions.

just want to say thank you to the staff and thank you to my staff. >> chair peskin: thank you. is there any public comment? seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. is there a motion? >> president cohen: yes. >> chair peskin: we have a motion, seconded by commissioner ronen. we have that same house, same call. motion is approved. [ gavel ]. >> chair peskin: miss fong? >> what i have before you is a routine amendment of our debt and investmentment policies. we review this to make sure that we're maintaining our policies. so what i have before you is a memorandum plus a matrix that details each change that we were making, and a red line

policy for ease of use. this is an item that has been reviewed with our financial advisors, k.n.n. and with our bond counsel, nixon peabody. in summary for our debt policy, we have pretty much three types of changes. we are making changes to be consistent with government securities and government code laws. we are making some clarifications now that we've issued our very first sales tax revenue bond. we had some sections where we are going to be writing policies and implementing controls over how we were managing the debt. things like that, we've taken care of it and incorporated those policies. we are at the one-year mark as of november november of the sales tax revenue bond. i'm happy to report we're at 40% of the proceeds spent at this point in time. in terms of the investment policy, i'd like to mention that a few months ago,

commissioner cohen had asked us to look into adding a social responsibility policy. after working with her office and looking at some of the counties that have investment policies, it was very clear that this was something that was quite new and not incorporated in everybody's policy but because this is an important item to consider in our investments, it made sense to incorporate it into the t.a.'s policy. and the social responsibility policy is to support community well-being, support equality of rights, and practicing sound labor practices and fair practices. this is another criteria we would add into any consideration of the depositories or financial agencies we would work with in the future. so thank you, supervisor for asking me to look at this. >> chair peskin: let me add my

thanks to our former retirement board member and president of the board of supervisors, president cohen. >> with the investment policies, just to make it consistent, we took a definition out, added a definition. every year, we are looking at it with a new lens. with that, i'm happy to answer any questions on any changes that we have. >> chair peskin: are there any questions or comments from members? seeing none, is there any public comment on this item? seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. [ gavel ]. >> chair peskin: is there a motion to approve the reviced changes made to the policies? made by commissioner stefani, seconded by commissioner ronen. colleagues, we'll cake that same house, same call. is there any introduction of new items? seeing none, is there any public comment? seeing none, we are adjourned.

>> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features.

>> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really, really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you

see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before. [ applause ] fp >> and we are sending a strong message that san francisco families are welcome and we want you to stay. >> this park is open. ♪

ihenacho inasmu i will call to order the san francisco transbay joint powers authority meeting for today, november 8, 2018. can we call the roll. >>clerk: all right. and prior to calling roll, i'll note for the record that michael hursh is joining us as a member of the public, and on behalf of supervisor kim, katey tang. with that --

[roll call] >>clerk: as well, mr. chairman, you do have a quorum. go ahead and call your next item? >> yes, please. >> >>clerk: item three is communications. i'm not aware of any. seeing none, directors, new and oral business. none. item five, executive director's report. >> good morning, directors, i will begin my update by providing you with the progress that we're making toward the reopening of the salesforce transit center. i would like to assure you and the public that we are working swiftly to determine a cause and reopen the facility, but we are balancing that with our responsibility to conduct a thorough investigation and fully cooperate with independent risk review and over sight provided by the metropolitan

transportation commission. we are excited to welcome the public back to the transit center and the park. as you know, the first step toward reopening is to install a temporary shoring system, and we did so at both fremont street and first street locations. we reopened fremont street on sunday, october 14, after the shoring was installed, and we were able to install the shoring on ninth street during night to minute muse public impact. with the shoring system in place, we were able to take samples of the beams in question on fremont street and smaller samples, as well, from the beams in question on first street. sample locations and findings were proposed by the tjpa and the contractor and accepted by our independent review panel. the samples were then shipped to l.p.i. laboratory in new york.

the testing facility agreed upon by all parties, including the peer review panel. testing is underway to determine the cause of the fissures. we expect the results later this month to tell us the findings and determine a repair. after, we will did he right lane open a schedule for implementing the repair and opening the facility. i assure you, we will work as quickly as we can, but we must ensure a trusting and thorough investigation to win back the trust of the public at large. i would like to thank the peer review panel members for providing us with over sight, expertise, valuable input and for their expeditious reviews.

later in the agenda, the tgpa construction manager will provide more construction details as part of the update on the transit center closure. moving to phase two in the downtown extension, we received the final comments from the federal transit administration for the supplemental environmental documents on friday of last week. we have since discussed with them the comments received and incorporated their input in the final environmental documents. we expect to find f.t.a. the final document. barring any delays on obtaining f.t.a. signature on final documents, we plan to submit the fire e.i.r.-e-i-s for your consideration at the board meeting. as you know, the san francisco county transportation authority board passed a resolution to suspend tgpa's $9.2 million

extension 30% design. this suspension of funding will stay in place until the san francisco city controller's office conducts an audit of tgpa's management and delivers phase one and delivery of phase two, the downtown extension. i will report to the commissioners that the tgpa welcomes this, as it will provide tgpa with valuable lessons learned. [inaudible] >> -- california high speed rail, and sfcta. we work with sfcta executive director, tilly chang, and the san francisco controller's

office to complete these two efforts as soon as possible so that funding can be reinstated and work on the downtown extension can resume. moving onto transit center operations, as you know, all bus operations continues to be conducted from the temporary terminal. since the transit center's temporarily closure, we took steps to reduce staffing levels on all our operational activities. we also developed a schedule of required ramp-up time so we can be ready to augment staff when the transit center is scheduled for reopening is developed. next month, we will present the board with impact the closure has had on our operational budget. we were working with pearl media, the advertising and social media time to rapidly start the social media and rapid response team once the park

opens. we will be ready for a full schedule of park events as soon as the park reopens. later on today's agenda, we have another lease for your consideration. as you know, retail is one of the long-term strategies for generating revenues to fund operations. our current operating projections for a stablized year is approximately $32 million. our projected revenues is approximately $18 million. the remaining $14 million will be generated from toll funds and operator subsidies. we expect to get approximately $11 million from toll funds and $3 million from the operator subsidies. in addition to generating revenue from retail and advertisement and other activities, we are also identifying efficiencies and looking for other revenue

sources for the center. we'd like to close by saying i understand how important the transit center is to the bay area and the state. it's an economic driver for the neighborhood, creating direct and indirect jobs, generating sales tax revenue for the state and the city and providing permanent jobs for people that need them. we will reopen as soon as possible, safely possible, so that the entire bay area can once again benefit from the investment they have made in the transbay program. directors, at this time, i would like to present with you the project leadership report, and then, i can take questions. dennis? >> thank you. good morning, directors. this will be our third quarter 2018 labor agreement. we go through labor and administration, labor statistics and finish out with the apprenticeship trend.

we held our 26th joint administrative meeting on the 20th, went through our regular agenda. it was a fairly -- very straightforward meeting. very little report came in from the unions, and it was our first meeting with our new san francisco building commission -- building trades person, tim paulson. we went through apprenticeship programs. in regards with labor for q 3, there were no labor stoppage for incidents, but there were zero incidents, and of course no lost time in third quarter. person years, we do have our breakdown that we have throughout the bay area and central valley showing that we have about 5.5 million hours of labor. regarding the apprenticeships in

this graph that we've been showing a while now, you can see the far right end, it really does show as the labor was ramping down, we still are holding that yellow line, greenish line, depending on how it looks on your monitors. they're providing the shift perthe p.l.a. still, and we're essentially at 99.99% of the precincts reporting. also, on the bus storage facility, the construction company, they have achieved their apprenticeship goal. that completes my presentation. if there's any questions.

>> questions? yes. >> quick comment. i just wanted to thank directza for coming to us and reporting this. thank you. >> thank you. >> comment. >> yes, director -- >> i appreciate the peer review. i think we can always get better. i would just suggest, as i mentioned to director chang, we also do an apt peer review. apt has done peer review as they were here last week for caltrain. having autos set of experts looking at it from a -- having a different set of experts looking at it from a different set of eyes could benefit us. >> okay.

>> comments on a similar line. i appreciate the report, thank you very much. i want to make sure we don't get focused on the o-rings, so to speak. i don't want us to focus on the issue that we're currently facing. i'm glg i'm going to have to face our board, the public, and the entire facility. i appreciate the way this is being handled, but i have to double underline, if anything else happens, it will be something we can't potentially recover from. as i guess more involved with this board, i want to make sure we're looking through the entire facility to make sure nothing else happens. thank you. >> any other directors? thank you. >> director nuru, if the board is in agreement, i'll be happy to follow the advice of vice chair zee and do another review. >> i think it's good to have as

many sets of i's that we have and dot all the i's and cross all the t's to make sure we don't have anything like that again. >> it may be worth coming back to the board. if you explore kind of coming back what that would look like, kind of scope and timeline. i think there could be great value in it. it could also be a very long and slow process, so we may want to balance that, if that's the case, will it be effective if we get an answer a year from now. so just having an understanding of what that might look like, i think would be helpful. >> okay. you're also getting into very different set of issues as you're going into that project, so you might also want to look at them that way. >> okay. >> go ahead and call your next

item, item six? >> yes, please. >> is an update on the closure and repair of the salesforce transit center. >> good morning, directors, ron and i will present this. it'll be a combination of the shoring, repairs, closure update, and my presentation builds on previous items that you have seen in the past, but i leave them in there as reference, and ron will come up and reference on other items that are going on with the rest of the project, so we'll both be up here. so i bring this up as the bus deck, this red line is the two ghirardelliers since september 25 that we've been discussing. the two columns on the outside are the supporting columns and

the one in the middle is the girder. the bus aisle is supported by this. as we've seen, we did have that -- i bring this as reference of where this is at, the crack in the round area. that's what we call the flange. i will refer to that through various other signs. that's the bottom part. if you picture the girder as the i-beam, that would be the bottom part. this part is the web, and i'll refer to that, as well.

[inaudible] >> -- to receipt lines are up there. what it looks like below in the train box are these two levels. this is what's -- the steel supports, those red items in there are jacks that are applying a load to whatever the surface is above it, and in snugging it up so there can be a transfer of load so the repair can be made in there. when you come up to the ground level, this'll probably be the most recognizable because this is where most of the public can see. this has been in place now for a while. those similar jacks are in place as they are pushing up on the bus deck and taking about 70% of that load off of those girders. in the meantime, fremont street has been flowing with no issues since we opened it october 14. now up on the bus deck level,

this is the shoring system that was installed. this is mainly what it happens since the last time. these are newer pictures. this is a system that's taking -- like i said, 70% off the girder that had the crooks. some of those bracers or kickers out there is a seismic. there's a seismic criteria that's been built in that's at the full design capacity at this point. you know, the seismic or drift as some would call it has been totally built into this shoring system, and it's not being treats treated as a temporary in it to ensure the redundancy in it. so on the right-hand side, you see the pictures of what you're looking at is that flange.

you can see the crack is to the left of a stiffener. if you go down to the base where it hits the flange, there happens to be the crack in that particular spot. if you refer to that item or drawing or rendering on the left, you can see the purple or bluish, that's the sample area or cut lines. it was determined by both parties that it was very important to cut this out. we've done that for both girders at fremont street, so essentially we took out four samples, and i'll show you those a picture of. i do note on the rendering on the left, you see some pinkish purplish on the right-hand side of

it is done, and it essentially kept the sample and the girder itself at 70°, so it kept it

relatively cool and allowed them to take that out without doing any damage. all parties agreed on where these white lines were, and when i say all parties, the peer review, to herrick, the fabricator, and the supplier. so we have everyone because that's been the only way we've been able to move forward is to ensure that all parties have that full access. so that was the operation. it's actually an amazing operation with a lot of pulleys that it works through, and was -- and those samples were taken out. and here's pictures of those samples out. each weighs somewhere around 600 pounds each. they're -- two of the four came completely apart, and those were up on the table at the left-hand picture where they're in two

parts, but the ones on the pallets, on the right-hand side, were still intact, and those were shipped that way. we shipped t-- the smaller piecs were shipped air frath, and tei the other ones were shipped ground freight. we had everyone -- all parties from the peer review, which is actually the peer review member who is in the picture here with the beard, and then, also, we had every one of those same contractors, fabricators, and the materials people, also, they had full access, and nothing was moved without making sure that everyone was aware of what was happening and was on board and agreed upon. so then, those, now have been shipped. they've all arrived -- i believe all of them have arrived now. if not, they'll be shortly.

so this is that same rendering that i was referencing. this is that same one, just a little closer. you can now start seeing that there's individual little coupons, little pieces. that starts showing you -- it's almost multiple layers. they'll do the exterior layer, the midpoint, the corner point. this is going to be sliezed up into many, many different pieces to perform the tests that are on the left-hand side. this is a list of all the tests that were agreed upon now that are moving forward as they machine all these little pieces and start the process of testing, which is started already, they will then go through this litany of different tests that they've all agreed on. once the tests are getting close to done, we're going to have another round on next wednesday where all parties are going to converge on l.p.i. to get that

last chance, after maybe some initial results and inspections of these pieces, there may be additional testing that may be required that the peer review may want. maybe such the parties such as the fabricator or the materials person may need additional, depending on how initial test results are coming out, so that's why there's a little bit of a process here, but we want to make sure we take the steps properly in everything we do and make sure everyone's involved. but there's a long list that will be done on all these samples. so for schedule, at least for -- this particular slide shows an as-billed in october and pretty much what's happening in november . it just pretty much showed -- this would be november 1 through 30 in this slide. it just shows things that would go on in december and beyond.

it does show the as build as we opened fremont on october 14. we are done with our sampling. as the blue line would indicate, we are in the middle of that testing procedure. it does show two weeks, but additional may be required depending on what it shows us next week. that gets us into the all very important element of findings and results. that's where we will get our root cause. once we get that root cause, then, that's where the finalization of the design and the actual fix comes from, so we're getting methodically to that step as efficiently as possible, and then, the design will be reviewed and approved by the peer review. just as a quick update on first street, similarly, that's where we have identical design over

there. there still has been no cracks, no identified items looic thike found over there, but we continue to look in that area as well because of a similar design to ensure what is necessary, if anything for redundancy over there. what we have in place is currently a three-level system of shoring that are ares at the train platform level and -- -- that are at the platform level. almost identical pictures below grade. it's essentially an identical design that's below grade at first street, and then, above grade, this is what it's been looking like since we installed those for stablization, and first street has not had any impacts since -- we did this

work over night, and it's had zero impacts to rush hour or no impacts on first street with the split-lane configuration. what we've done, we did do a lot of nondestructive testing at first street to make sure there's no cracking, ultrasonic testing. there's several types of testing, the litany of nondestructive that you can do was done, but we also took samples. these are small, 4 inch core samples, what's being tested now to confirm the -- basically the strength of the hardness of these girters over at first street. [please stand by]

>> good morning director. i want to recognize dennis and the engineers and the contractors for their hard work in a short time frame to address this problem. from day one, we had mapped the approach was going to be just stabilized and analyzed with benefit of pier review. we're on track in a measured manner i want to express my appreciation to the team for advancing that. we haven't lost sight that we want to finalize the phase one

construction clos to close touts portion of the program. in terms of budget, we're in a slower burn than we had been. we committed $2.1 billion and expanded it to $2.09 billion. that was about delta 6.7 in expenditures and 4.7 in committed over the last month. mostly attributed to the extended period to address the close out as well as capture some of the latter trade packages that are coming to closure or maturity. in terms of forecast, e.a.c. remains the same. there are no new risk
