medical information it might be faster to pick up the phone and call them themselves and be they have done that. >> if the member retires for services stipulation, at least they get a paycheck or something? >> that's correct. [please stand by]

>> we are now transferring people from workers' comp to the health system people will sa.

and so, you confuse the doctor, especially if you're out of area, you confuse the tonight. you confuse the pharmacy if you say, i'm getting my prescriptions filled for my workers' comp. >> workers' cor comp pays for disability that's not permanent. you could be an active employee and be under worker's comp or be eligible for a completely different position or body part than you've been awarded a workers' comp. so how health services administer focuadminister folkss corcomp is something we don't gt

involved with in making sure they get connected and there's no break in coverage for them on their medical side, but -- >> well, i've been pleaed with d people contacted me and said i have and issue and they have an advocate group for the retirees. that's the same type of service i would hike to see here and i think it can be done with the o

mbudsperson, somebody high up in the chain that can walk in and figure out. >> make the sure it gets fix. >> but in the meantime, that person will be me. >> it shouldn't be you and you know, you're getting bantered around and i don't want you to get bantered around. >> operations are under me. didn't nobody here can be doing it all and you have two jobs, a mother job and you have a father job and you have, you know, sister job and all that stuff that goes along that is occurring in family lives and stuff hike that. like that. that's why i say it's two jobs but it's really just being able

to make it good for some of the people that are ill. >> see if there's any improvement in the process and benchmark the number of cases today and we'll come back 12 months to see if there's any change in that number. >> we've documented on the first page, mid-april, 2019, but we'll have real numbers. it's approximately 400 but we'll have 421 or whatever the numbers are. anything else on this item? public comments? a discussion item only, ok. that concludes that item. before we move on, under item 15, the ci's report, was it meant this item regarding new enterprise should have been on

the calendar? >> they were added to the closures after the board materials were released. >> the director was notified by ashley duneen that it's that time of year and time for the distribution of the performance evaluation service. ashley indicated she'll be emails services directly to each board member this friday, the 14th and that under the board policy, the retirement board needs to get their survey responses back to ashley by the end of this month.

, so june 30th. i also have some good news related to onech our commissioners. commissioner carmen shoe delivered a healthy baby a week ago tuesday. the latest report from her office is that mother and daughter, kaylee, are at home bonding and resting. >> maybe you can get that to us in email to respond with a card or something. >> sure, darlene can send an email out. that's what her staff represented it to be.

there's a counter item for the next 12 board meetings but no item scheduled for committee meetings. i'm giving us a heads up that items are planned for the committees. if the committee doesn't meet, items don't get done. the only answer is the obviously one, which is purpose of our education, personnel, deferred comp. there are actions the board is waiting. so these committees have to meet to get things done. the committees may change next month but in terms of planning out your schedule, plan on saving the third wednesday of every month for a committee meeting. maybe you're not on that committee. the reason this is important, in terms of the strategic plan we expect staff to do things. every item, they're labeled deliverables, something we're expecting staff to do. part of the concept of deliverables, if a group is

supposed to meet and decide, if the group doesn't meet, huge botched it up in gettin gettings done, much like hearings for disability. things that should take a few months take one to six years to get done. >> but sometimes we are at fault because we don't do what we're supposed to do. we have our strategic plan or they're waiting for us to act, and i think that maybe as the guy who started the committee system over claire's objections may need to revisit the committee system to discuss do we have the right committees and are we in the -- are we doing everything or should we be consolidating? i think that's a discussion

you'll have to think out in the next month as you make your committee appointments in amonging at thlooking at the co, because we're looking at not only time but it's efficiency and something that we have to get done and i think that that's committees -- some committees may outly their usefulness and some committees are needed to get to another point. >> no one sense, you don't need committees, but the general topic task is called governance. we evaluate managers nonstop and the self--evaluation by the board has been dropped, skipped, ignored, never discussed.

when we do it with managers, we know why we hire them and fire them. we have to apply the same standard to ourselves if we're going to sit here and insist on governing this system. to again, i'm bringing this up, right now there are no committee calendars to meet. >> you're right, the only one on the calendar. >> i appreciate your comments because we need to have a commitment that the committee system will do the work or otherwise, our meeting share will be twice as long and that was, i believe, part of the reason -- at one point, this board met twice a month for the longest period of time and that

was because they had disability hearings as well as all of the work is being done not in committee. so i think it should go through the governance committee with that discussion on the system. a few years ago we had it off-site and supposedly went through this whole thing. >> the self-evaluation? >> consolidated committees, rebranded, whatever. you know, there's been a lot of change and going forward with the new committee assignments, everybody will come together. >> disability hearing stopped 43 years ago so we're way passed that. it's effective november of 1976. you can find a meeting. i hear stories about people watching from the old board room

next door, watching the applicant with the head brace on and that as soon as they're through with the hearing, they see it toss the neck brace off and jog across street, which was less than 43 years ago but it's not the point. >> part of expecting our managers to do better, expecting slantexpectingconsultants to doo provide better service, we have to apply that to the board. is that the only item left to discuss in. >> public comment on the executive director's report. excuse me. move to go to the order, individual members have any comments they would like to make? >> i have a couple. i do.

>> it's interesting because i've been to several meetings and things and people ask me about the contribution rates and i show it to them and they're astounded and they're mostly astounded by looking from 1997 to 2005. and it kind of says it all and i think this chart would be good on our website, on an evergreen and updated so it's readily available to us. and it's very eye-opening. the other thing is the, this was

in bigger letters so i printed it up and it's great for the members. and especially for the organizations. they look at it and they can -- it's something that gives them information and it's really good. so that's the type of things that i'm looking for when i say there's stuff that's on our website that the membership can look at, that others can look at that are interested in us. and it tells our story, our history.

they need to know we're not a mystery organization. that's what i'm talking about. that's my good of the order. >> is this something the communication's manager could do in terms of adding to our website? >> certainly not within the purview of our assignment. our current communication's manager is focused on member

benefits' information, the summary plan descriptions, fact sheets. >> ok. just a thought. >> thank you, commissioner driscoll. i thought about something when you mentioned earlier about one of our managers donated to the smithsonian and i wanted to point out we had another manager, one of our private equity managers, robert smith, and you may have seen it on the front of the "new york times," he was the commencement speaker for moorehouse college in atlanta, georgia. at the end of his commencement address, he and his family agreed to pay off the loan debt of every single graduate and that was done two weeks ago at the moorehouse college. he donated to the smithsonian, $20 million for one wing of the museum. i wanted to talk about one of

the managers who presented today as well as being a private equity manager and giving back but i thought the moorehouse chef piece acollege piece was o. so thank you for that, letting me point that out. >> motion to ajourn is in order. so moved. >> public comment. meeting is adjourned.

>> good morning, i would like to call the meeting for thursday -- thursday, june 13th, 2019. [roll call]

>> mr. chairman, you do have a quorum. can i call you next item? >> yes, please. >> item three is communications. due to a conflict, we'll be looking to reschedule your july board meeting, so i will be reaching out to firm out a date. >> okay. >> anything else. >> i probably have to leave the meeting when a get called. we have a budget hearing so i will have the vice chair run the meeting. >> that's right. okay. next item. >> yes, please. >> item four his board of directors knew and enrolled business. i am not aware of any. executive director report. >> good morning, directors. i am pleased to provide you with our plans to seamlessly open the

center to the public. as you know, we discovered a fisher with two steel girders over fremont street last september. we committed to reopening the transit center only after finding the root cause of the fisher -- for sure. as you all know, all these steps are now complete and all the experts involved have compared -- have confirmed that we can open it for operations. i would like to think mayor breed for their leadership to help us reopen the transit center with a high level of confidence to the public. i would also like to thank m.t.c. for empowering independent and highly respected and nationally renowned team of experts that oversaw the robust

and exhaustive review of the transit center. we will hear directly from the chair this morning about the findings and the conclusions of the review. you will also hear about our ongoing plan to reopen the transit center the two the public. our goal is to reopen the transit center and exceed the public's expectations. we owe them gratitude for their patients. we know that this temporary closure was significant inconvenience, and we plan to open and have the center better than they remember back in september. we continue our work with the transit operators to ensure a smooth transition for transit riders. bus operations will not begin july 1st, but we do everything possible to have have bus operations ready after that date we began a rehiring plan last month and we now are fully staffing up for operations and conducting final testings of the building operation system so we can be ready for july 1st. i want to thank you for your leadership and support over the

last eight months as we conducted an exhaustive review and fully cooperated with the m.p.c. independent review panel. at this time, i would like to ask christine if she could come and share with you our plans for communication for the reopening. >> thank you, good morning, directors. i just wanted to briefly go over our plans to communicate with transit riders in the public as we reopen the center. we have already, with our goals, we want to reassure transit riders and the general public about the robust independent review that we underwent, we want to reaffirm the center's importance to the region, to the city and to the transportation for our entire region. we will be doing a lot of the same communications we did a few months ago, eight months ago when we opened the center, really highlighting the need for the transit center, but we need

to first start and win back people's trust. the first thing we will do is provide comprehensive multilingual outreach to the public and to transit riders. we began that this week with the announcement of the reopening. we have done some media tours and we will be doing that over the next few weeks with the goal of showing people the center is better than they remember and our goal of opening as seamlessly as possible and winning back their trust, showing what a great job that the staff is doing to welcome them back and have their experience seamless. we are -- our campaign began this weekend we're launching a social media campaign. we have relaunched the website with a very simple to understand timeline of exactly what happened from september to today people could go to the website, learn what happened, learn what we did about it, learn about the independent review and why we are reopening now. all of our social media channels will be reinforcing that message and driving people to the website to learn about the

temporary closure and the reopening, and also everything the transit center would like to reopen. i'm working with the transit operators -- transit operators for early july. what tjpa will do is offer a temporary or limited ambassador program, so you will see the ambassadors who were usually at the transit center, the week before, educating transit riders , and bus service has not yet begun. we will have ambassadors out in the morning and the evening, inviting people back to the park , the amenities, the food trucks, the grand hall, and letting them know to check in with their bus operators for when that service will start. i've also provided the bus operators, marketing and communications communications team with a toolkit that includes confirmed facts, saq, fact sheets and timeline, to

communicate how they want to communicate but they have all the facts, dates, and figures they will need to be able to do that, and make sure no matter what transit agency is speaking, we are all speaking from the same facts. about two weeks before the reopening, you will see it -- see ramped up social media messaging. you will see more of that. you will also see the mill marketing going out explaining the closure, thinking people for their patients, apologizing for the temporary closure. physically at the temporary terminal and at the transit center, on july 1st, you will see physical signage as well. what people are walking by and see the doors open, they can see there's no bus service yet. when there is, we will alert them to that. i have heard from the several transit agencies that they ramp up for transit operations that they will have their own ambassador program talking to their writers in easing the transition for them. with that, i am happy to take questions.

>> in regards to the leasing front,. [indiscernible] this will be used as a clinic for the residents and the workers in the area. by approving this lease, the lease count would be 60% based on the square footage parked. we assume that this effort will be picked up now that we are reopening it. we have addressed all of the comments and we have been provided with additional documentation. we do have a meeting with them on the 17th. we hope it will be the final meeting before the approval of the process. i am very hopeful that by the july board meeting that will be

concluded. in regards to the status of the peer review by the san francisco transportation authority, the consultants team continue to hold workshops as planned, both -- both based on the current schedule, the peer review is expected to be repeated later this month on june 25th. we will present the results of the peer review to the board at the july board meeting. at the last board meeting, the board requested that the peer review members meet with the peer review members from -- that presented their findings last month to you, and working with director chan on arranging them. finally, we have a front for your quarterly financial report. if you don't have any questions, this or concludes my report. >> any questions from board members? no questions. >> all right. i will call your next item. item six is the ten break closure of the salesforce transit center.

>> good morning, directors. we will give this month's construction and temporary closure update with an emphasis on the preparation for reopening on july 1st. i will cover the results of the facility wide validation that we have been tracking for the last few months regarding the structural steel item. also facility wide readiness for reopening, which will -- basically i will talk to the staff report that was submitted under this particular agenda item that work to complete in the wrong contract closeout and legislative. we have been presenting this graphic for a few months now to show the extensive research and investigation throughout the entire transit center as it relates to the structural steel items and the review for the structural elements. i am pleased to show this funnel

that started as -- with a very large, wide evaluation criteria, that worked through a more detailed, down to various on-site visuals at the very end and as you can see, i am showing with the graphic that all of our items are closed and i will touch on that a little bit in the next slides. this closes out this particular graphic that i have been showing out for months on the structural steel health check throughout the transit center. through that building wide review, there was 47 details of complex and susceptible nature to fractures, it was needed for thorough investigation for each and every one of those 47.

even we went on-site, 175 locations on-site were opened to ensure with visual, nondestructive testing, particle testing, to confirm all the information, not just on paper, but physically in the field. and extensive analysis for fit for service was done as well for each one of these, or at least specific ones, and basin all those test results, the engineer of record and our independent experts peer review concluded -- we closed the last one last friday, and any anomalies inconsequential, and that there are no concerns for structural integrity in the building. that was clearly stated in the letters that were provided throughout the last few days. i want to touch on the elements of the staff report. the staff report was a follow-up to the request by the board to

give a comprehensive report of all the elements that were identified throughout our findings. the key entities is the first part. this report, the staff report, you will notice there is no less than 2222 attachments -- no less than 20222 attachments, so it is in one spot to tell this entire segment that happened over the last eight and a half months. it addresses the key entities, the contractor side, the design side, the peer review through m.t.c., l.p.i., and then the use of isi through that process where the key elements. identify through the staff report, the timeline starting on september 25th of the crack itself, and how we worked through that. this temporary jacks that we put in place. the implementation of the peer review, and then there various

elements of scope which are, you know, the chair of that committee will reference in status here later this morning. eventually, the installation of the permanent ensuring that was in place. all of this was reviewed by d.b.i. as well. we actually had an independent overview for the shoring and also it was submitted to the peer review. bringing l.p.i. onto the board, through the tjpa, so that there was -- they were not from the design side or the contractor side. all parties, including the peer review, agreed on the l.p.i.'s sampling and testing. this polemic results were submitted in december and presented to the board. based on those polemic findings -- based on those preliminary findings, it was created and blessed and procurement of materials started, and all throughout that, the d.b.i. also

did their review of the design times -- design plans and ensuring compliance to code. by march, we were installing those plates, and by the end of april, april 19th on fremont, in april 27th on first street, the repair was installed. and then it was signed off and the shoring was removed. i touch on that in the staff report. i also go into the other efforts , the building wide review, the funnel, that also is heavily addressed in the peer review and in the staff report, and then providing all the milestones and how all 47 elements of that building were satisfactorily closed. also in there, the identification -- the structural and seismic review committee items. i have their original letters, their original design review, the original d.b.i. signoff of

the original design. all those letters are in there as well, up through 2014, and then we even brought that same, two of those members back to the board to refresh what they had already reviewed, and look at the current situations back in january. that presentation they gave is also linked. and then on top of that, we had our cmo do that building wide nonstructural seal review, that was when steve came in and gave a presentation on all items such as structural concrete, the bolts, and all other items not associated with the peer review investigation. all that was put together and was put in one spot, to come to the conclusion, that based on the study letter issued that the structure is sound, in the

building is ready for reoccupancy, we received the letters from the peer review panel issuing concurrence to the m.t.c. both letters being submitted to the mayor and also the nonstructural steel elements verifying the rest of the building is sound. based on those elements, we came to the conclusion that we are ready to open on july 1st. that is what is in the staff report. and i wanted to just hit on that following up on that, and the close cooperation that was noted , the munimobile bus plaza will be open next week for reoccupancy for the operators, and then the bus staff will be ready for training in july, and available for full operations by august. i will allow martha, our silty manager to go into that in more detail in her presentation that will follow us. in addition to this, we are also doing -- adding instrumentation

in various specific spots that is being modelled and tracked through l.p.i. as well. there is a picture of some -- we had the convenience and opportunity of the locations that we opened up for the building wide structural steel review. we were able to add monitors so we'll be able to go back and keep track of -- and monitor various elements of the structural steel and basically correlate various design assumptions as well, as the buses start rolling again. we took part of that opportunity as well. we call that the fatigue analysis, as we're going forward over a long term review. switching from those parts, going back to the base contract work, i want to give you a quick update on that, on the breezeway , the alley, and on our signals, in the ceiling panels, and the pathway, and ultimately,

the bus ramp. we continue to make progress. this is at the far west end, the breezeway. it looks essentially complete. it will be ready for the public through there starting july 1st . this is the far west end. shot alley, that is the jamie carpenter art display called linear art, that will be ready and available for the first time on july 1st as well. we are making the final cleanup on that. this is real close to where the food trucks were last year and will be there this year. it will be very effective, especially in the evening hours. our signals, pg and he promised they would be installing that fuse limiter and it is the 13 th and we have not seen anything yet, so m.t.a. is on hold, waiting for them to do what they need to do, and

waiting for these parts to show up, and in the meantime, m.t.a. is trying to do all they can to ready for the signals to be activated, so we are still waiting for them. we are reaching out at all levels has not got these parts here any faster. hopefully they will be here soon the remaining work is very little. and then ceiling panels, there are miscellaneous ceiling panels that will need to be put back, especially on the bus deck. those 175 locations that i noted , a lot of those were on the bus deck. taking covers off includes taking ceiling panels off and putting those all back together. it is happening. a common term we have been using his stitch back of all of the elements related. those are also happening at a very expedited pace at this point out there. and then the pathway, we

reported we were in the process of replacing the path, the concrete, which was the chosen material, has been installed and looks great, and we are now in the process of prepping it to put a good sealant down, and that will absolutely be ready for july 1st as well, too. and then very close to the food trucks, the last item here, is this is where the bus ramp comes in. there is a very elegant ramp that is being put around the 50- foot section that goes over the walkway that is being installed. that will also be ready for the july 1st opening to the public again. with that, i will turn it over to ron to close up the rest of our presentation. thank you. >> good morning, directors. i will probably be rather brief, as you can imagine, the rest of our activities have been out in the field to get things put back

together and secure, and i want to express my gratitude to dennis and all of the field staff who have been earnestly working all month to make sure we get everything done and ready for opening. with that, we have had some activity towards the contract closeout. on the slide, you will see we still have 21 trade groups in various stages. in the last month, we had about nine that met full and final, and that was about the movement in terms of the pie chart. i expect now that the girder repair is complete we will start seeing some of those trade groups that have been involved with the girder repair be positioned to begin discussions and closure processes. again, we have 13 trade groups that are in the process of dispute resolution. we are hopeful for july, but it looks like perhaps august we will initiate some of the d.r.a.

meetings with some of those trade packages. there has been a little bit of back and forth on terms of the d.r.a., and in terms of the legal and litigation aspect. you will hear more in closed session later today. in terms of budgeting contingency cost drawdowns, we pretty much a zero doubt on construction contingency and program reserve in the last month. there was some, as you can see in the slides of the bullets below, some construction related drawdowns, but they were balanced out with some captures of cost, some of which were allowances that were carried that were unrealized risk. all in all, the contingency is the only thing that shows a net drawdown of 2.4, and much of

that has to do with the pathway and some other elements of which we -- will be dealt with in the d.r.a. format of our form. in terms of budget, we are squeaking a little higher. in terms of overall c.a.c. construction, i think we had a 50 million-dollar uptick as we started to reevaluate the risk and exposures in front of us, and some of the things that are construction related. with the 34 million-dollar uptick on the overall budget, including t.i. and legal work, so that brings us to an c.a.c. with t.i. and legal to 2.397.1,

just below our overall budget, but maintaining and managing that despite the protracted timelines and other challenges that we have all lived through in the last eight and a half months. that concludes my part of the presentation. we can address any questions on this aspect. >> board member questions? >> thank you. i have one brief question for ron and then some for dennis. on your contingency slide, you showed four -- forecasted use of $2 million for design services related to nonconforming steel girders. it sounds like a cost that ultimately we should be recovering. >> yeah. we have already started to do some of the recapture in terms of deductive change orders and what have you.

it will all be in the mix. that is why we see zero out on drawdowns this month. >> i guess my question is, should we need that to millie dollars of contingency to front for design services related to nonconforming steer girders? are you expected to recover that >> generally, yes. >> okay. thank you. so my mac -- [please stand by]

. . . . i know our chairman has in play trying to schedule meeting with pg&e, so it's been elevated on all fronts not only for this project but all the other activities we have going on out there. we've been all plagued with pg&e issues. >> well, if more voices would help that conversation this, one is definitely a challenge when we opened the first time, and ended up having to barricade off the streets, and that's just not

-- >> i cedar -- darrin klein had no real answers, and i was underscoring it is a safety issue and nice to have us here, but we want to see some results. >> we will send you the details. >> would be happy about that. >> we have been trying hard, but like you said -- >> no, and i don't mean to say it's for lack of effort. sometimes maybe from more angles would help get it over the finish line. >> a we are experiencing the same on many of the projects, so i certainly understand that. this one, there is no excuse for this at this point. and then on the -- on all of the reviewer, i want to appreciate the work that you all did and the whole team to get us to this level of confidence. i know that this board asks you to do more than you originally were planning and extend the timeline, but i think it was

important such that we can -- such that christine can have good talking points in terms of restoring public confidence for riders and the general facility that the -- and the general public that the facility is safe. and it was worth it and then two specific questions, and so the 47 complex welds and the 175 places that you opened then up, i think you said there was visual inspection? did l.p.i. do anything beyond visual inspection? >> you can probably describe the techniques better than i. >> 175 welds were opened up basically taken and what i mean by that is taken off the fireproofing so you can start with a visual and then majority of them, if not all of them, had additional nondestructive testing done depending on the type of weld and whether ultrasonic testing or mag particle testing. and then on top of that, we also

have l.p.i. director vecchio was out there doing the reviews as well. and ultimately depending on the weld and the criticality, even a fit for service model was made to ensure that each one of the locations was fine and to the point where we're able to close out with confidence. so there was multiple levels depending on the type of weld and access to the weld and that is why we opened up so many so we could have that very high level of confidence. >> who would be the consequence should one of those welds at some point in the future since you said they were identified because they are susceptible to being brittle if at one point one of those in the future developed a crack or failure. what would be the consequence to the structural integrity and the building. >> i could probably defer that to dr. vecchio if needed, but it was determined even if there is -- because these welds that we ended up looking at especially

on the bus tech were related to seismic type elements because we are looking at the welds, just the transitions between two pieces and it wasn't base metal that we were looking at. just a weld transition. so it was from strictly seismic concern that we were looking at. it was not -- it wasn't from a load bearing element. >> so after a seismic event, but would likely re-inspect the welds. >> there is a program of inspection that we're in the process of working through and that you would have an engineer and we would include those probably locations as part of within 24 hours and any large structure to re-review. >> right. and then to the mon the organize and we know what we know now and the building will wear over time

to be subject and that is excellent. and i hope it is as comprehensive as makes sense. have you thought about how to report the results of the monitoring to the public to the board on a regular basis? and it would be help fg not in a technical way and the high level and green, yellow, red, and some way of communicating on an ongoing basis that were monitoring the structural health of the building and that it's okay and we found an issue when we're addressing it. >> and there is the first milestone when we get the monitoring up and running and start having buses run, there will be a correlation to confirm that the original design assumptions and the effects on the structure versus what we are reading and would probably be a milestone point and maybe that would be a point that we could get an update with that kind of information.

>> i would suggest that whatever the initial milestones and on an ongoing basis, the information that popped up on the website somewhere so that we're being transparent and any lingering doubt cans be assauged by seeing that we're monitoring and everything is good or monitoring and when we see an issue we're addressing it. >> we can do that. i want to point out that the monitoring was over and above and we have no reason to believe that there is any issues whatsoever in the building itself or the retrofits. and like dennis mentioned, we had the area opened up. we took the opportunity to put some string gauge in there just to monitor. but we can put it up on the website and also is green all the time. >> sure. >> and i want the public and sta f to recognize what an

incredible job that you have done and i was very adamant about the importance of regaining the public's confidence and the reputation and the peer review panel, l.p.i. and staff's vigilance combined with mttc support really has achieved that goal that we established. i am comfortable going back and excited to get there. i don't want to contradict myself and i am an operations guy and i like contingencies. i would encourage us to hold on to the temporary terminal for a few months to ensure there is nothing else that might be there so thank goodness we had the temporary facility and congratulations. it is a good day moving forward. >> thank you. any other director comments? thank you. >> item 7 is the facility operations update. >> thank you for presenting this

item. mark has been working with the operators as well on the transitioning back to the southwest transit senter from the temporary terminal. >> good morning, directors. martha valez. today's update will cover four areas and an update on activities associated with reopening to include operations and security, a brief summary on the kaiser release transaction on the consent calendar, general retail update and a brief summary on tenant improvement work. the bus plaza is baseball and the ceiling tiles were reinstalled and removed for the plumbing andt.i. work and
