>> item 13 is update on the transbay transit centre on the study of governance management, oversight and delivery of the downtown extension. this is an affirmation item. >> good morning. i will start with the transbay transit centre fracture issue. a little bit of history here for clarity of the records. a fracture on flan to the steel girder was discovered. a second smaller crack was discovered on a parallel beam in the same location. today to, no additional cracks have been found. there is continued monitoring going on. at the request of the san francisco and oakland mayor's offices, the empty sea has convened a peer review panel to work with tjpa. the review panel consists of five structural engineering and materials experts. they are working with the key stakeholders, being the structural engineer of record, the general contractor, the

steel subcontractor, steel fabricator, m.t.c., ourselves, a.c. transit and the department of building inspection. there are challenges to assess the load capacity, which they have done already. developing a sampling and testing plan, which frankly is almost complete spirit i want to elaborate further. determine the cause as everyone wants to know, assess the current condition of other structural elements to make sure that everything is safe for the public, and finally recommend a repair solution. where we stand today is that a preliminary finding will be presented to the tjpa board this coming thursday at the board meeting. we have dennis here, a construction manager for the tjpa if you have any further questions. the repair options are being analysed and developed. the completion of the repairs depends on the lead time for the

steel members in that regard. so that is going to dictate the completion and the timing. when we have more information, we will invite m.t.c. here to provide further information, hopefully in the next month or 1212 months. that concludes this portion of the updates. if you'd like like to ask questions now, we can. i am hoping to take them. >> the big question here, is when, and the answer is we don't know. >> that is true. correct. we do not know. we have speculation, but i would rather have the peer review experts and tjpa be able to address that to their board on thursday, preliminary findings are being developed right now. >> okay. i'm not exactly sure why they -- why we even put this on the agenda.

>> we were hoping to have more today and we apologize for that. it is something where we are aware of all the stakeholders and all the independent experts. we are airing on the side of caution before preliminary findings are presented. we are working through the final repair options. it is a very complicated issue from restructuring engineering standpoint. >> do you want to add anything for this commission? >> good morning, commissioners. i am with the tjpa senior construction management. to add to what he has just said, we were also in parallel with the preliminary findings. we have been able to start developing the fix at fremont. it is anticipated that loss will be presented to our board on thursday as well, along with various other analyses to show how much effort has been going in to this project since

september 25th. so there's a lot to be presented , hopefully in the next couple of days. >> i don't know what will happen between now and 48 hours from now, but would you like to speculate for the transportation authority and for the public as to when these fixes will be effectuated? >> i can put framework on that to show you there are two paths that will happen. we will talk about the repair. everyone has been focused on the repair. that is part of the report. it will assist, once we have that confirmed, we will have the type of steel dimensions and they can procure that. once the peer review does all this information is being presented and they give us the green light, similar to the preliminary findings. it allows us to move forward with the repair elements.

the other part that is going to be started once the preliminary findings is also the effort towards the rest of the facility once a polemic findings are founded, they can be presented to the peer review -- to wet the steps for the remaining what needs to be looked at throughout the rest of the meeting. that is a second parallel path that will be developed here shortly in various phases. because you have to develop the scope and see what needs to be done at those locations, and if anything needs to be done, implements that repair. that is still forthcoming. that is why we can't put a timeline to it at this point. >> any questions or comments from members? any public comment on this? this depressing item, welcome commissioner cohen. we said nice things about you.

[laughter] >> i will continue. let's discuss the caltrain downtown extension. >> r.h. just to recap the history, october 23rd, the board voted to suspend funding for the tjpa 30% design part one effort until two things occurred. they conducted an evaluation of the tjpa management and delivery of the t.t.c. itself, as well as us, the transportation authority staff for the management and delivery of the caltrain extension into the train box. we are in the process of assembling a team of experts right now. we are reaching out to the consultant community and anticipate making decisions in terms of forming an expert team by the end of the year. we will evaluate the best practices, and in particular, focusing on not only alternative

oversights that taking a look at funding strategy is to move the project forward to. we will open the book in terms of looking at international megaprojects. there is a lot to learn from that and their experience here. it will be through established interviews and workshops, including the key stakeholders. over the past months, we've had conversations with all the key stakeholders and are assembling the key stakeholder team. we will start the effort in january, 2019, and it is our intent to complete it by the spring of 2019. we are targeting may of 19. i am open to any questions. >> thank you for that. that was helpful. are there any questions from members of the authority? seeing then, is there any public comment on this item? no public comment period public comment is closed.

thank you for that update. we will live for thursday and the tjpa presentation. next item, please. >> item 14, item on final approval, approved the revised job classification salary structure and updated organization chart. this is an action item. >> mrs. fong? >> chair peskin the, would you like me to go through a full presentation for the sake of time? >> colleagues, just so you know, the personnel committee of the transportation authority match last week, consisting of myself, vice chair tang, and member kim, we are just where in we reviewed and recommend to all of you the revised job classification salary structure and updated organization chart. if any of you have -- we had an

extensive conversation about it in committee. it is the last vestige of our committee structure. the committee recommends approval. do any of you have questions for staff, or would you like a full presentation of what the personnel committee received last week? >> i will take silence as you are okay with moving the revised job classifications to six categories. the new salary structure that will ensure that we retain our excellent staff, and our updated organization chart. is there any public comment on item number 14? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to approve said item made by commissioner tang, seconded by commissioner ronen, and on that item -- >> can i just -- >> commissioner kim, i'm sorry. >> i just want to thank our

executive director for your leadership all of these years. i really feel that you have communicated very closely with all the board members, to -- different departments and outside agencies and the very things that we asked you to do when we came on executive director and i want to thank you for your incredibly hard work and all that you do for our city >> we will incorporate that comment into item 16, which is the next item. i do want to thank mrs. fong for a very clear presentation, and very good staff work. with that, a roll call, please. [roll call]

>> we have final approval. >> that item is approved. colleagues, i do not think we need a close session unless and unless anybody wants a close session with regard to the evaluation of the executive director's of port -- performance objectives, which was also heard in the personnel committee, if that is the case, mr taylor, would we table item 15? is there a motion to table item 15? made by commissioner tang and seconded by commissioner ronen. we will do that. is there any public comment law public comment is closed. we will take that same house same call. could you please read item 16? >> item 16 on final approval, set annual compensation for the executive director for 2019. this is an action item. >> colleagues, the personnel committee met, and as per the previous item discussed, the

public employee performance and approval -- and approval -- approval of the objectives of 2019, after looking at a salary survey of other executive directors in similar positions, the personnel committee recommends a four-point 5% increase to our executive director's at salary, which was in accord with the other executive directors of similar agencies in the bay area region, and in other t.a. his. would you like any more information on that because she would be happy to present it. if not, is there any public comment on item 16? the floor is yours. >> i'm with united public workers for action. there's a lot of negotiations coming up with city workers this year, and i would hope that if you will give four and a half% to the managers of these agencies, you would have it as a minimum for the workers of the city and county of san francisco

so when they come into negotiation, you should remember what you are doing here and awarding these increases to managers in the city and county of san francisco. >> thank you for that comments. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, comments are closed with regards to the last speaker , this is not a city agency. this is a subdivision of the state of california, and number 2, in the previous item, our salary structure has been revised such that actually the executive director his' pay raise is less than the pay raise for the rank and file for the six member or f.t.e. authorized member agency that is the transportation authority. thank you for that comments. is there a motion to move item 16, made by commissioner cohen, seconded by commissioner brown. we have the same house, same call. thank you for your excellent work, mrs. chang.

i feel very close to the executive staff on the t.a. and i just wanted us to take a brief moment to express my gratefulness and thank you. i have learned and have grown as a professional, and in large part, due to the fact that we worked on so many really important projects that have an opportunity to change people's lives. i would like to think we are changing them for the better and i'm grateful we are partners in doing so. thank you. >> thank you for those comments. >> thank you. i guess this is my last formal t.a. meeting. not excluding timma. i wanted to echo my thanks to all of the staff, our executive director, but everyone who has always briefed us, whether it was maria or anna or cynthia. you have all been amazing and so for -- so far there is too many to name.

i have always found every single staff member to be incredibly well-prepared and thorough. you always follow up pick any time we have issues with other agencies, i often turn to you for assistance and i really appreciate that. [please stand by] -- working with this body over

the last eight years. this board of supervisors, as you know, is very ambitious, so we don't often have a "department" that we have somewhat direct authority over, but it really has been such a pleasure to work with this team. i know i said it at the last timma meeting. it must be so much fun to work for the transportation authority because you get to be the imagination, the creativity, the body that dreams up these fantasy policies that hopefully we get to implement here in san francisco. and i think a lot of the incredible transportation work that's done is due to the forward-thinking initiative of the staff of sfcta pushing san francisco forward. i want to thank you for your imagination, for your passion, for being so nerdy and wonky about transportation and policy. over text messaging and emailing us about every small item and making sure we're briefed and never surprised about anything,

although that one day on 2nd street will go down in my history books of my surprise moment on sfcta, but sfcta worked really quickly to reroute money to 2nd street. i want to thank you for your diligence. working and caring so much about how people are able to move around our great city. and i look forward to your continued work as a citizen. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, commissioner kim. ms. chang. turn your mike on. >> thank you so much for each of you for your kind words, your gracious appreciation of our staff. it's your leadership that's allowing us to do this work, to deliver for the city, for the region and our state and our planet. thank you so much.

it's been a privilege. >> supervisor peskin: with that, colleagues, last meeting of the t.a. for 2018 is adjourned. we will reconvene as the treasure island mobility management agency after commissioner yee's press conference is concluded. >> the meeting for wednesday, december 18th. call the roll, please. >> the vice chair is absent. director tang is on route.

[roll call] >> we will go ahead and call your next item. it is public comment. i don't think there's anyone here who wants to comment under that item. we will go ahead and move into your close session. we have not received any indication that members of the public would like to add dress under the items listed in close session so we can go ahead and put the meeting into closed session. the tjpa board of directors meeting of december 19th is back in open session and in regards to item nine, the announcement of close session, there's nothing to report. that does include -- conclude your agenda for today. >> thank you. our meeting is adjourned. >> thank you. >> everybody have a great

holiday. women's network for a sustainable future . >> san francisco streets and puffs make up 25 percent of cities e city's land area more than all the parks combined they're far two wide and have large flight area the pavement to parks is to test the variants by ininexpensive changing did new open spaces the city made up of streets in you think about the potential of having this space for a purpose

it is demands for the best for bikes and families to gather. >> through a collaborative effort with the department we the public works and the municipal transportation agency pavement to parks is bringing initiative ideas to our streets. >> so the face of the street is the core of our program we have in the public right-of-way meaning streets that can have areas perpetrated for something else. >> i'm here with john francis pavement to parks manager and this parklet on van ness street first of all, what is a parklet and part of pavement to parks program basically an expense of the walk in a public realm for people to hang anti nor a urban acceptable

space for people to use. >> parklets sponsors have to apply to be considered for the program but they come to us you know saying we want to do this and create a new space on our street it is a community driven program. >> the program goes beyond just parklets vacant lots and other spaces are converted we're here at playland on 43 this is place is cool with loots things to do and plenty of space to play so we came up with that idea to revitalizations this underutilized yard by going to the community and what they said want to see here we saw that everybody wants to see everything to we want this to be a space for everyone.

>> yeah. >> we partnered with the pavement to parks program and so we had the contract for building 236 blot community garden it start with a lot of jacuzzi hammers and bulldozer and now the point we're planting trees and flowers we have basketball courts there is so much to do here. >> there's a very full program that they simply joy that and meet the community and friends and about be about the lighter side of city people are more engaged not just the customers. >> with the help of community pavement to parks is reimagining the potential of our student streets if you want more information visit them as the pavement to parks or contact

pavement to parks at sfgovtv.org >> hi, everybody. we're going to get started. welcome, welcome, welcome to the last day of the old margaret hayward playground. that's worthy of some applause, i think. [applause] >> before i introduce the mayor, i just want to say thanks to all of the amazing community partners who have worked with us to pull this off. this was a complicated planning effort, and we have some really, really, really passionate community partners and stakeholders, who i'm going to acknowledge in a second, and city agencies, and we have just an amazing design that is really going to serve this neighborhood, that is really

going to serve the institutions around this neighborhood, the nonprofits around this neighborhood, and we're so excited about this project. so my special guest here to the right is a community member that grew up in this park, and that's what makes this so special. i've had the opportunity to talk to the mayor about her own memories, playing in this park. this was your park, right? and so we are so honored to be able to think about the next generation, so let me announce or mayor and park -- our mayor and parks champion, london breed. >> the hon. london breed: thank you. i am so excited to be here today, because i spend many years in this park. in fact, this playground structure that is here is not the playground structure that is here when i was used to play. it was wood. it was made out of wood. we used to get splinters in

that park on a regular basis. the swing -- the slide was really, really high. nisha, you remember that. the slide was really high, and we used to jump off the slide. i mean, we were -- we were -- don't do that. don't do what we did. i used to eat lunch here through the free lunch program, and i used to get snacks here. i played chess and checkers when kids played board games. i basically spent my entire childhood in this playground, and it was a place that was safe. it was a place that i loved to come to and language out, and i was so grateful that it was just in such close proximity to where i lived because it wasn't a far walk. and so renata, who was the rec director here at the time, she was absolutely amazing. and you know, we miss her dearly. she passed away a few years

ago, but anitra is going to be the new person to run this rec place with a lot of the kids that are standing here behind me. and it does take a village, and it does take a lot of support, especially for our young people, who deserve to have every opportunity that is available to them. and it was because of programs like what existed here at margaret hayward playground is the reason why i was able to grow and to thrive in san francisco. living right across the street at plaza east, which didn't look like what it looks like now, too, large towers of public housing, and my grandmother, she raised me, and in order to get me out of her hair, she'd say go to the park to play.

but it's amazing to be with all of you here because we are going to make this park, this playground, this rec center, we are going to make it into something that is absolutely incredible. in 2016, a plan began with so many community organizations began in this neighborhood to say what the people wanted, what the people who live here wanted, in terms of a new playground and recreation center, and how are we going to deliver to make this place an incredible place, not only for this generation, but for generations to come. so this $28 million project, $28 million -- [applause] >> the hon. london breed: it's going to usher in what i think is absolutely incredible. i'm so grateful for the leadership of rec and park and phil ginsburg and all the work that you continue to do to be a champion for our parks in san francisco. i am so excited that rodney --

is rodney here? yes, rodney and the ymca, and anisha's here. i'm excited that they're going to be implementing great programs that the ymca provides, and i'm looking forward to being here in how long, phil? >> 15, 16 months. >> the hon. london breed: 15 months when we cut the ribbon of the new recreation center and playground. and hopefully, the swings are going to be strong enough to bold adults, too. >> both of us. >> the hon. london breed: thank you, phil. appreciate it. because we are still kids at heart, and that's what parks do for all of our citizens. we want kids to get outside and play. we want adults and others to enjoy our basketball courts and our tennis courts and our rec

centers and all that san francisco has to offer. so i just want to say thank you to the voters for continuing to support parks funding every time you see it on the ballot. thank you to the community of the western addition for not only supporting this and being actively engaged, but continuing to support parks in this neighborhood. and i guarantee you that even though this park is utilized, especially during the summer, this park, when it is completed, it's going to be hard to get into, i assure you of that, and i am looking forward to being here within the next 10 months to cut the ribbon so we can get to playing and swinging and enjoying ourselves. thank you all so much for being here today. >> thank you, mayor. [applause] >> did i say 15 months? no pressure -- yes, i did. you know, the mayor talked about the importance to her of being able to walk to a park,

or maybe it was the importance of your grandmother being able to send you to a park. >> the hon. london breed: yeah, that too. >> you know, mayor, you ged to preside over the first city in america where everyone in the city can walk to a park. it really is an extraordinary thing that sets san francisco apart. so it's worth noting. it's my pleasure to bring up our newest district five supervisor for whom community is definitely first, vallie brown. [applause] >> ms. brown: thank you, phil. i remember when we were talking

about this probably in 2000 -- and what was it? 10? >> it was a long time ago. >> i don't know. it's been a long time. but i want to thank mayor breed and parks and rec for saying that parks are important not only to this city, but this district. this district is very special to me, and the people who live around here. and i really am happy to see us keep moving forward with green space. but this process just wasn't a city hall or department effort. this was a community effort, and you have to remember, and all the people standing behind me, we have sheryl davis that used to be with mo' magic, and she was there, pushing for it. there's james -- where's james? he was part of it, also.

and then, there was kelley groves, and barbara, who started the process. i know judith cohen is here. rodney's here from buchanan y, and then, spencer, are you here? oh, well, boys and girls club has been part of this, but you know, they're busy with the kids today. but one of the things that i really always admired and truly respect in the western addition is that the community comes forward and says look, what's best fore the community, and they look at it as a whole. and kids have always come first in this community, and that's all something i think we all some strive for when we're looking at legislation or we're looking at things in this city, what is good for the kids that are here, and i'm just really happy to be part of this, and i will be there in 15 months?

>> you betcha. >> cutting that ribbon with mayor breed and everyone behind me, and kamaya from mo' magic. but thank you everybody for coming, and we'll all be back in 15 months. it's on my calendar. thank you. [applause] >> i should have said 17 months. supervisor brown started to introduce some of the community members, so let me acknowledge -- more formally acknowledge our amazing partners. judith cohen. you're going to hear in a second from chuck collins and rodney chin of the ymca. they've just been such amazing partners not just at this site, but all across the city. bobbie sisk from bethel a.m.e.

bobbie -- without bobbie's help and bobbie's support and encouragement for this renovation, it might not have happened, so thank you, bobbie, for really understanding the bigger vision here. a special shoutout to gary cannonand melinda schrade. they've made an incredibly generous gift that will enable us to convert the fields us us into athletic fields that can be used year-round. we're just going to get more kids playing on the fields because of their generosity, so thank you very much, sacred heart. the mayor and supervisor brown gave a shoutout to sheryl davis, but sheryl deserves as many shoutout as we can give

her. before that, sheryl running mo' magic was amazing. i was to recognize the western addition, prosac for all of their help. so many partners, and it just speak to see what the mayor said about the importance of this space. very briefly, let me just acknowledge the design and construction team because they are extraordinary. this is a design done by our very own department of public works. i want to thank mohamed and jen and the entire design team for their work. it is an extraordinary design. i want to thank the construction team, bachman. we ended up with a great, great contractor. they've worked with us on our civic center playgrounds. they really understand the level of excellence that is required of them on a city public works project.

and i also want to acknowledge a special thank you to mary ellen keller. i am going to conclude with thanking my own staff, but before i do that, let me bring up chuck and rodney from the y. the ymca has been a long-standing tenant at this site, working with the kids to give them the love and support, attention, recreation, and culture that they deserve, and they are going to continue to be here with us. our partnership with the y is really extraordinary. it's at bodecker, it's all over the city. i am really excited for it, and with that, let me invite up rodney and gary from the ymca. >> thank you, phil, and thank

you, mayor breed. the last time i saw the mayor here, we were having a program for kids about sugary beverages. and then, mayor breed came over and spent the better part of an hour with them, being involved with them on a really personal level. and i didn't have such the great appreciation for her relationship to this park, but it was clear in her relationship to those children. and i want to thank you for that leadership. also, supervisor brown, i may be the oldest person here right now, but i was born here. we lived on pine street, and the history of my family in san francisco really started in what we call the fillmore, and now the western addition. so this is really sacred ground for me personally, and a place where i had the opportunity to become who i am because of everybody who worked so hard for young people at that point

in history. and now, we're on a different time frame, where young people are less visible in our city, and whether we need to come together and say whether or not we're going to have a city that really embraces young people, and the department of health is a focus of so much work, but it's also a folk you go of sheryl and so many other people that are here that enable us to do what we can for young people. there's not a representative of the boys and girls club, but let me be that person for a second and say they appreciate the opportunity to work together. as phil already said, we're working together in other parts of the city, and bodecker is a really complex and difficult community right in the middle of the tenderloin, and how community partners come together and not compete, but really learn how to come together and partner and collaborate in the margin of difference in the victory

whether our kids are going to learn to thrive. i want to thank all of our leaders who come together to make us a better city. thank you very much. rodney? >> thank you, everybody. [applause] >> i just first want to say, what a beautiful day, and i first remember over six years ago when this bond was proposed and announced. i was standing up there on the stairs, and just imagining what this would be. and i must say that the current plans that the rec and park and the public works people have put together is beyond any imagination that i could have thought of. so nothing left to say but let's get it done, and i will make sure that we're here to do the work in the community. thank you, everyone. >> thank you, rodney. >> and what rodney didn't mention is like the mayor and like chuck, rodney lives just a block or two away, so the community roots grow deep. so madam mayor i don't

remember, would you lead us in a ground breaking. let's get around this pile of dirt and put on our helmets. [inaudible] >> the hon. london breed: all right. you guys ready? you going to help me count? all right. ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
