transbay corridor, you likely have a bart franchise, but not running bart technology, just running standard technology. wrapping up here, one thing i'd like to see, as part of the conversation is the peer review that was presented to the tgpa board in may. it has some important points, eliminating the reliance on consultants, which is what the government is trying to address with the high-speed rail. and most importantly very early hiring it a chief engineer, who is familiar with none -- how you can get something that size. [bell ringing] downtown without blowing it up. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is jerry coughlin with the bay area transportation work group. and i think i would like to start by saying i agree with most of the previous speakers.

i'm not saying it was wrong to stop and look at this. that's okay. and it's also okay to see if it -- particularly talk about getting it into a broader realm then it was. now by taking this on, you are looking like you're going to be the leaders. i mean, that's -- there's 11 of you. and none of you have executive office, but that's the way it's being presented. i don't think that's going to happen, partly because this is much bigger than the city and county of san francisco. always has been. and one of the speakers talked about connectivity. connectivity to bart, connectivity to caltrain, connectivity to 40 bus lines in the east bay. connectivity to five muni lines. these are not just putting it downtown, it's much bigger than that. so in these leaderships, somebody already said that, it really needs some kind of political push. there's been a lot of us here who have been pushing this -- i

hate to tell you how long since i've been pushing this idea, a long time. peskin will remember -- norm rolf died in 2005 and dreamed of this back in 1973. so this is nothing new. i hate the idea of reconstituting. i think patrick made a very good point. [bell ringing] the idea of reconstituting what's there is okay. but you got to make sure you don't slow the project down in the process. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you. seeing no other members of the public, we'll close public comment. [gavel] i think there is a misunderstanding that needs to be corrected, relative to delays and funding. so why don't i turn that over to our executive director, who may bring folks up from the expert panel. ms. chang. >> thank you so much, chair. thanks again to our panel. please do elaborate on what i have heard from you today and respect to some of the questions that were raised, i heard a

question and a concern about delay and does this two-year work plan represent even more work on top of existing work and will represent a delay. in fact, i believe it's the panel's believe that the two-year work program is an ox-oriented work program, that has to be undertaken for efficiency and effectiveness in project development, regardless of who undertakes the work. this is a road map to getting the project reinstated and to reenergize it and take the decisions in a very strategic way as you have laid out. i believe it's actually to the contrary of delaying, it's actually to expedite project development. i'll light you guys perhaps elaborate on that. to mr. coughlin's point that he just made about localizing versus regionalizing. i heard a strong recommendation to regionalize this project and to strengthen its regional participation and to really focus on funding and project definition decisions that could lead up to a procurement decision, that means a contracting decision to construct the project.

it's not to say that we're getting the full funding grant agreement in two years. that would be a miracle, that would be amazing. let's try to get that level of funding definition and funding strength to the project within the next two years. it's only going to come from advancing project decisions around development, phasing together with the operators and stakeholders. that's what i heard. >> chair peskin: geoff. >> chair peskin and madam director, i think you're right. what our objective is to accelerate this project and break it from some of the tasks that we feel are holding itself back. so our hope is -- our objective here is to see caltrain service into the transit center as early as possible. so i think when you see the final report, you'll see multiple things targeted toward achieving that goal. and i'm sure there are other members of the panel who would speak to this. >> chair peskin: john. >> thank you, chair. geoff's right.

the idea is this up-front time is -- can and should be used very fruitfully with some of the technical work that needs to be done. the alternative, and i've personally had the opportunity, -- and prior to that at the federal level, to see projects nationwide. and if you don't get your act together up front, if this -- if the work that we describe is not done, the context is this project will is going to be looked at against other projects around the country, especially for federal funding. and it's not going to compete well. the reality is you have to do this work. you can do sequentially, you can front-load it and what we're actually suggesting is the front-load as much as possible. >> chair peskin: ignacios no, -- anything you want to add? mr. john fisher? >> thank you, mr. chairman. first, i'd like to clarify for the speaker who asked what

procurement means. procurement means the contrast -- starting a process for contracting for the beginning of construction. so when we talk about procurement, start of procurement in 2021, in fact, summer of 2021, carrying to the plan, what we mean is a process that is actually comparable to the schedule that is currently published for the project. , that schedule called for a start of activities in 2018, leading up to advertising for award of construction in 2021 and beginning of construction in 2022. so the plan that we worked was effectively to deliver that similar schedule, as was already on the table. >> chair peskin: thank you, sir. mr. fisher, anything you want to add? and then let's wrap this up. >> just final comment on the speaker who mentioned waiting for california high-speed rail. i think to the contrary there, i

think part of the early activities are to sit with the operators and get a sense of the capacity they need to bring services as soon as possible. and that is likely caltrain first. so i think it's more trying to address the reality of where that project timeline is. but also where there are potential funding contributions will be. and that's critical activity that needs to happen, as we move forward in the program. >> chair peskin: thank you, sir. and i would finally like to acknowledge our former executive director of this body, mr. jose, who was also one of the expert panelists and with that, we will see you all on july 23rd. thank you for your work. mr. clerk, could you please read the next item. >> clerk: item 12. >> given the late hour and the pending timma meeting, i would

like to continue this item. are there any members of the public who want to speak to item number 12 in seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to continue to the next meeting, made by every single commissioner here. we'll give it to commissioner safe, seconded by commissioner fewer and take that without objection. is there any introduction of new items? seeing none, is there any general public comment? >> chair peskin, members, alita dupree for the record. with general public comment, i enjoyed my meeting with you last time. so i thought i'd come back. i'm looking for a lot ir feel that -- i feel that this agency can do more. as i think about new ideas of navigating this challenging

landscape in san francisco, and i see things in other cities that are helpful. i'd like to have here in san francisco. first, i speak in the importance and i feel the need to a veteran's medical transportation network, a system that will help veterans to get to and from their medical appointments. and some say why veterans? well, with the recent enactment of the mission act and more places where veterans can go for medical care, and the challenging landscape of hills in san francisco, which can have many impediments of reaching public transportation, the fact that there are about 4 million veterans that are receiving service-disabled compensation. i want to see this city become a place that will be welcoming to veterans, especially those with

disabilities. we are very fortunate that any veteran with a service disability rating of greater than 50% is able to get a reduced fare clipper card. but we can do more. and i do use some shared mobility devices today on my way in, probably will use some later. so they are helpful to me. we just need more of them, because they help to add to the quality of life here. please remember those of us who served. and who are disabled especially in memory of those who have fallen. thank you. >> thank you. any other members with general public comment? >> yes, very briefly. i would like to do supervisor peskin -- the last tjpa cost review committee, which essentially exposes a potential clawback from the administration in washington. we need to go back to the

agreement -- the agreement signed in 2008. and transbay used to be a -- basically followed the same alignment as the old terminal. but they made two conditions. number one, the tracks had to be straight. they could not be curved. second, they had to have a minimum length of 1,312 feet. that's the amount in the agreement. now everybody, when they designed the station, know it's 1400 feet. and once you go back and revisit and ask your engineering staff to review the drawings, you're going to start seeing the issues with how you can possibly connect that to a new transbay tube. so i just thought that i'd put it out there. i want everybody to be aware of this. look at it carefully and this is why for the last couple of years i have recommended to absolutely integrate the transbay with the

d.t.x. and the pennsylvania and everything else. thank you very much. pes thank you, sir. seeing no other members of the public for general public comment, public comment is closed. and we are adjourned. [gavel]

>> roll call, commissioner -- [roll call taken]

we have quorum. >> thank you, mr. clerk. please call the next item. >> item 2, chair report. information item. >> i just have one thing that i want to announce in my chair's report, that i'm very excited to share and some of you may have heard this, that the treasure island development authority and mercy housing assisted by our timma staff have won a $20 million grant from the state affordable housing and sustainable communities grant program. the strategic growth council awarded the full amount to fund construction on the island and transportation improvements. it includes construction of a bicycle pedestrian path connection between the bay bridge east span, touchdown on yerba buena island and the ferry terminal, and electric busses to a.c. transit to operate the new east bay transit service.

congratulations and thank you to the team who worked on this. and thank the staff for their work doing the first phase of outreach to businesses on the island, talking about the potential, or the needs of the businesses as well as some of the questions around a potential future toll. with that, i believe we are actually going to skip item number three. >> public comment for item 2. >> any public comment on this item? seeing none, next item. >> director's report, information item. >> public comment on this item n seeing none, next item. >> item 4, approve the january 29, 2019, an action item. >> any comments on the minutes? seeing none -- let's open to public comment. public comment on the minutes?

scored a top five finish in the ranking due in large part of the off leash play as. dog parks are the fastest growing amenities. dog parks are among the fastest growing amenities with an overall 74% increase in 2009. we are proud of our efforts to provide recreational activities for everyone, including our four-legged friends, whether they're there to enjoy the landscape because they're a little husky. we're not going to pause at our effort, we're sniffing out possible locations for off-leash parks, including those at india bas basin and future park. all right, moving on. on a serious note, a quick note on the passing of a long time city employee whose son's name is one of our popular centers.

his son was a recreation director killed in 1994 and we ended up naming the rec center after thhim. services will be held this weekend and i would respectfully ask the president and vice president to adjourn in his honor. he was a wonderful man and was always extremely supportive of our youth and our recreation programs. two acknowledgments, while it is true that our golden state warriors suffered a -- yeah. a defeat, i don't know what else to call it, we do have a champion in our midst. last weekend at the 30th annual may louise softball tournament,

held in partnership with the san francisco youth fund, along with the giants community fund and the warriors community foundation battled for the prized may louise trophy. i'm pleased to share that this trophy is coming home to mcclairen lodge for the first time in 30 years with our team winning the tournament for the first time in its history. we beat the city attorney's office 9-1 before squeaking by with a 4-3 win over public works and they won their next two games before facing the giants community where they managed to hold on to a 10-5 win. they were buoyed by ken armstrong, the best pitcher in this tournament, continually pounding the strike zone with an array of pitches. connor casey and rocky displayed their softball talents and leadership skills as all-stars

on and off the field. we wanted to thank all the teams and agencies for supporting our foster youth and our scholarship program and to the rec and parks staff that helped execute this tournament. we want to congratulate mr. president the city winning rec and park. [applause] >> high-five, high-five. okay, let's grab a picture. you're the picture man. you hold the trophy. [laughter]

>> all right, give it up for recs and parks. [applause] >> and one final acknowledgment, if you visit our park any time this summer, you're likely to see some of our most important and budding employees working in a variety of roles, whether it's as office help. we're going to have an estimated 430 youth workers working and learning in our parks. they range from age from 14 to 17 and they all live or go to school in our city. we have 196 work staff which were recruited and hired by us. they went through a job interview process. we have 80 youth work workers, and enterprise for high school

students, 40 mayor youth employment workers, 24 green agers, and 10 students working at megacamp. they celebrate their 58th year this summer and many former youth workers have gone on to have very long and distinguished careers here at rec and park, including ben and our h.r. analyst gordon, and our recreation coordinator and the head coach of bay view united, and our volunteer coordinator jennifer, and the amazing stacy white. we're all, all youth workers. so today, we are joined by five of our current workers, along with their coordinator. we have jada stewart from eureka valley rec center.

andre diaz and andy lynn, if you guys would all come up. you each get a very brief time to appear at the big mic and say hi to the commissioners. [applause] >> hello, i'm jada, i'm 17 years old. okay, so my experience working has been amazing. every time i interact with each mentor, we become a family. they teach me and guide me in the real life, you know, real life world. they tell me different things like you know, time management and then also things in school and advice for home and all that. also, for future things like college and how to apply for

other jobs when we continue on. also, they guide me and just give me that home that you know, that i may not have in other places, so yeah. pretty much. >> thank you. [applause] >> hello, i'm andre, i'm 17 years old. i work at the playground and megacamp. working with recreation and parks is a cool learning experience. i learned plenty of skills from social skills, time management, management, and leadership skills. i feel that it's very essential and it will definitely be applied to my future career that i hope to become a social worker. in the future, i love working with the kids.

at megacamp, we have over 100 kids that we take care of every single day. it's very motivating. i come to work and put a smile on the kids' face and create these memories i didn't get to have when i was their age in these summer programs and throughout the school year. i feel my position is very inspiring that i get to work with these children every single day. >> thank you very much. [applause] >> hi, my name is francesca. i go to south edmonton high school. i'm 17. working with park and rec is really great. i love working with the kids because in the future, i plan on working with juveniles so learning how to guide them really helps. overall, it's really great. everyone has such a great bond and working with the kids and having those fun field trips and cooking experiences with them has really taught me how to really engage myself with other

people and new people and really making sure that kids have a good time because when i was a kid, summer camps weren't like this and it's so much better now. it's great i get to help out the kids like this. thank you. >> thank you. [applause] >> hi, i'm oli, and i'm 17 years old. one thing that i really love about work recreation is that i was a camper at the tennis camp where my dad worked. the great thing is i was able to go from a camper to my fourth year as a 9910, and it's taught me as a camper, i remember the day i was counting down until i was 14 so i could work. it's been great to work with kids and i see myself in some of the kids and it's taught me incredible life skills, responsibility, time management, money management, and most importantly leadership skills in working with kids, and like

everybody else, i hope to work with kids in my future. >> thank you. [applause] >> good morning, my name is andy and i attend lincoln high school. i'm 17 and this has taught me a lot of skills, for example, leadership, time management, and working with kids taught me a lot of stuff too. kids, because when kids are happy, i'm happy. yeah. first i started out as a camper and now i'm a 9910 and they're like family and we help each other and we all guide each other. yeah, thank you.

>> thank you ryan and that concludes the general manager report. >> thank you very much. >> is there anyone that wants to make a public comment under the

general manager's report? okay, being none, public comment is closed. now we're on item 4, which is general public comment up to 15 minutes. this item will be continued to item 10 at this time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission and that do not appear on the agenda. with respect to agenda items, you will have an opportunity to address the commission when the item is reach in the meeting. as a reminder, you will have 2 minutes each and i will go ahead and read off the names for general public comment. i have maureen irma, catherine gainer, and richard to start with. if you would please come up.

any order. i just need you to come on up. you need to be over here. power overhead please, okay. go ahead and get started. >> i'm back, hello, how citizen

park to get this happening, but if you put us on the bond, you're going to get all of that in just from those citizens. i have 30 more citizens. i'm the one that wrote you that letter about fresh water, some outdoor pool. why not have a pie in the sky idea associated with our city? we're an amazing city.

let it reflect that. all these people coming to chase center and at&t, please take a minute right by jackson park, you will be shocked how much it needs work. you'll be blow away it looks that bad. please, i'm begging you, thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker please. >> good morning commissioners, i'm here to talk about jackson park. i'm the father of a 4-year-old who is an avid park users. those fields haven't been redone in ages, the clubhouse is in distinct need of seismic redo. it's not just us that needs the park. the 2,500 new residents that will be close to the park, coming into the future, they need that park. the folks in dog patch, they will have additional open

spaces, but they don't have the capacity or space for recreational facilities. they're going to need that park. it's not only the residents that need the park. we have office buildings coming in, a lot of mixed use coming in, the workers, a lot of them bring their dogs, they need that park as well. so, what are we going to do to fix that? well, the community has been engaged with rec park to devise a plan for community needs. we need unprogrammed open space, we need additional community programming facilities, so we done that work. now we need to figure out how we move forward. frankly the way we can do it is to be a name project on the parks bond. the rational is that we need this in a single phase. the current users are already there and the future users will be there before we know it. if we stretch this out, they will have no park. that's not going to work for us.

thank you very much. >> thank you. >> next speaker please. >> good morning, my name is catherine. i lived in dog patch for 20 years. i'm here today to request the park be identified as a priority project on the next bond. like the two people that stuck before me enough money is allocated to protect the park. our neighborhood has exploded and dense housing and commercial development. it start in the '90s with a loft craze and then continued into the rezoning in 2008 with eastern neighborhoods and the pipeline is loaded for more according to this map issued two days ago for the density, the dens pipeline building in the city of san francisco. the promised open spaces included is essential for communities and the open space plan has not materialized. over 2,500 new residents coming

in and 30,000 households within one mile of jackson park in the next 15 years.
