this up. even if you're totally committed and loving your kids, there's only so much. i think in some cases what we see is a tipping point where people max out and we just burn people out. i guess i'm wondering which site -- are there certain sites we're seeing this more than others, do they send to have certain characters? which sites are doing well? maybe we can learn from that and we can beef up supports from schools that have these turnover issues. finally i also wanted to thank commissioner norton for bringing up education. i've been pushing our district to educate families. i'm a 20-year educator in this district, and i still don't understand all the ins and outs of education law and the process

and i was talking about a principle today and she was explaining the difference between an io4 and the other document. in my heart there is a lot of issues and it's like going to the doctor and getting a diagnosis that you're uncomfortable with. i want to urge our legal team, communications team, and those that work with family liaisons, i don't know know of ways that we're educating people on their rights. parents can request assessments and it's confusing how do we do

that. i don't think it's common knowledge that a parent can say they're concerned about their comments and they want them assessed. if your child is assessed and you want them to go through the process, i'm not aware of any protocol for educating families on their rights. maybe we have that, but it's not visible on the website. if i don't know it, i'm assuming -- i'm one of those pretty involved parents. i look for those handouts and things to help families. i don't even know where to look. so i think we really can't partner with families and we need our families because they're the capacity that we don't have. they increase our capacity to serve students when we work in partnership with them. we're less likely to get in lawsuits and less contentious relationships with them when we feel welcomed. if you can speak to anything

around the parent education around rights, that would be great. >> thank you for that. when you were asking -- i know you're doing the rights and i appreciate that, and i reflect a lot, did i do that or that. in special education, every time we communicate with the parent via any kind of a document, we give them how many pages? i hate anything that has too many pages because i run fast. i have a lot to do all day. i want the cliff notes version. we have to give a short version. they go home with any document, i believe that it's one of those things that it's very heavy. when i was a resource specialist back in the 1990s, there was a book, i think a 20-page book,

and it had a lot of white space and it was perfect. when i joined this position and started working with my partners, that was one of the first things i said and it was in three languages. after that another book that came out by charles schwabb and our ombudsperson just found a copy. we're looking at the simple pieces we can get out there before we do our whole five-year mapping plan. that is something we are working on to get a parent friendly sort of thing. when i was a first year r.s.p., that was my plan book to help me navigate all of the timelines to navigate. this is something that we could work on. >> thank you. if we could make it available on the website in our language.

>> it is on the landing page of education for families. it linguist to the content developed by the special education folks in the past, but there is a link there. so it can be updated when ready. >> did you want to add to that? >> we have a memorandum of understanding with the parent facility in san francisco. there is a conference that is coordinated that is all about family engagement. there are workshops in english, spanish, chinese once a month that support families and parent workshops all the time. there is a huge amount of family engagement that is done and the process is overwhelming, but the work is still done and we still

try. >> thank you for your patience. just in hearing the discussion tonight and the fact that we are all at capacity and this is work being done by the department of education, what are they doing to support us reaching this? is there -- is that -- yeah, i'm just wondering? >> it's frustrating. i think what susan said about the ieda moneys not coming. we stomped in washington in may to get better funding for all of us so we can do this good work. the c.d.e. -- so our partners state-wide are unified.

this is not unique to san francisco. these issues are happening across the nation. so the technical assistance stuff is interesting. they monitor us and tell us what we have to do, but don't tell us here, this is what you have to do. they will steer us to some resources on the web and we can pull from each other. we also have a very active sort of engagement with each other as the selfa directors. we share ideas and best practices that way as well. we helped our partners out as well. they liked our presentation so well that some of our partners will be using the template for their presentation to do their report, but no one is coming to us with the package and say we're going to give you this, and, and this. this is engaging your community,

think out of the box, silo the issue, prioritize, and get to work. i think we're at a critical point to start thinking different. >> it's not to say the demands aren't valid, but the reality is why we have what we have. so i wanted to focus on any advocacy or to push to get any resources. >> we need to put our reform hats on right now and started thinking differently. >> picking up on what commissioner lopez raised, because we're on the policies committee. what i'm curious about is taking your recommendation and looking at reform and things differently, if there can be some sort of business analysis around what would it take to quote all districts and not just

ourselves, if we're part of the a bigger network, what would it take to address the corrective actions. from there, we should raise that to the state of california. the governor has put forward his education agenda and there were some bills that went through the legislature last year that were funding potential education and looking at some structural opportunities and they did not make it through. so i think this would be a prime opportunity for the district to also take some leadership and to leverage that into something -- like you said, it's beyond ourselves and we're at a crisis moment. we have been for a very long time. that would be my request. maybe when capital advisers

comes back to our next rules committee, i like to start asking what the budget process is going to look like and how we can work with our sacramento partners. >> thank you. i appreciate that feedback. that's making me think that we need a revolution, and we can start it. >> i think again we can address this. legislators are thinking about the california budget process. i think we should look to that as an opportunity. we have been looking at the multi-year plan and how that measures up for our own planning

process. >> that's another presentation, and i'm happy to take some time to go to the rules committee. we did go to the rules committee and we will be responding to you, but we are two-thirds of the way through the planning process. our consultant is out in the field. we have a consultation tomorrow. we have a lot to share about what we've engaged, but we're not done yet. there are many community partners that we need to engage with. i know there was some one-on-one time with some of the commissioners. then we're going to put meat on the bones and look at order of operations for our priorities. we do have some of our

priorities popped out. we need to look at the case loads and our sore program. there is just a litany. so you will be apprised of that throughout the rest of this school year. then we will be ready to literally hit the ground running. we've already started some pieces in play. i can't wait for that to start, but i hope that answers your question. it's an ongoing process. we're about two-thirds two. she's about to start in january, but there's a whole plan for it to continue into the spring. prior to that operationalized plan, i'm assuming we'll have budget implications? >> yes. budget is always a part of it, but yes. >> huge budget implications. >> thank you for the

presentation. >> section k, introduction of proposals and assignment to committee. number 1, board and comment proposals. we have a first reading to the board policies 0460, accountability plan. 0520, intervention for underperforming schools. 0520.1, comprehensive and targeted support and improvement. also to number 3, board policies 1431, waivers, number 4, 3553, reduced lunches. and to number 5, resolution

1911-112a1, the affordable housing policies. can i have a motion to second first reading of the board policies 1911-12a1. >> seconded. >> so moved. >> i see we do have public comment on the new resolution. >> thank you. i'll be brief. i want to thank commissioner moligo for putting together the resolution on having a housing policy. now that the voters of san francisco passed proposition e with 75% of the vote and prop a with two-thirds of the vote, we now have material to work with. so it's -- we talk so much about housing because we have to, that

this -- i think having a policy in place will really help us get on the road to realizing what we need, so thank you. >> thank you. any board comments on the first reading? i'm going to refer the policy to the rules committee and the resolution of the building and grounds committee and ad hoc committee on personnel, labor, and affordability. section l proposals for immediate action and special rules, there's none. section m, board members' reports. before we begin, i would like to announce that i am -- last time commissioner moliga is switching with me. i remain as a member of the committee that this change is effective as of today.

report from recent committee meetings. vice president sanchez has reported out. is anyone ready to report out before i start calling on people? >> we met at the budget and services commission meeting. it was a packed agenda. a lot of it was updates on some of the business service items that have been coming up. those continue to happen. i'm very excited about that as a means for us to communicate with families. i want to state that a lot of families who have i.u.p.s are supporting their students. >> i encourage folks to look at the board docs because our budget team created a comprehensive overview of our budgeting process. i encourage all commissioners to look at that as well. it is a nicely done document because it shows at what point in time throughout the year we

have very budgeting items that come up and with our budgeting and different points that come before the budgeting committee and the full board. i think that's a great way of getting the long-term plan. we spent most of the time discussing the latin x resolution which i'm excited about. and i want to thank commissioners lopez and sanchez were introducing it. i wanted to just inform other board members that while there was i think expressed support for this much-needed resolution and i think folks echoed that as an initiative we supported these students, we don't have any currently that call out the needs of the latin x community and students. many of the supports that were provided are kind of directed as

supporting students with language needs, but we don't kind of address the cultural and just specific needs of the latin x community. i do appreciate the resolution. at the same time, the budget office has difficulty quanti quantifying how we would potentially fund the initiative because we hadn't had a conversation with curriculum committee to outline the staffing and resources needed. i think the budget office did a wonderful job of presenting a potential model and they based it on the ali initiative, we agreed that wasn't necessarily an appropriate model to use and further discussion was needed. we decided because we felt it was needed and this was a conversation we want to move forward and we do support it, we decided to move it forward with

a positive recommendation with the understanding that we needed to flesh out the specifics of what types of staffing and supports we needed to implement it. we wanted to make sure this discussion process is an iterative process and doesn't prevent us from putting it in in a timely way. it's going to come back before the curriculum committee meeting, but then we're going to have one day and it's going to come back before the full board. commissioner lopez is going to meet with commission and community members to get a clear idea of the actual implementation so we can have a richer conversation at the committee meeting because we're going to have a shorter amount of time. i encourage you to engage with

staff if you have questions on that or commissioner lopez. >> thank you. it was actually my first budget meeting and it opened me up to a process that is trying to be highlighted. there is already policy and plans in place -- so what we're really trying to touch on is pulling from what we're using and utilizing what we have, not necessarily starting up something new but having the conversation of what's in place now is not effective and being able to participate in that with the lens of funding was really enlightening. unfortunately the committee was canceled because of an abrupt shift that came last minute, but

many community members planned to be there. we're hosting something informally tomorrow to share where we are in the process in preparation of the december 9 meeting. we meet every month. i'm very dedicated to hosting these meetings. we're meeting tomorrow and then hopefully having enough conversations in between so that when we vote on december 10, we will have all the information ready. thank you. >> number 2. any other reports from board members? commission commissioner, congratulations.

calendar of committee meetings. let's see, the standing ad h ad hoc -- okay, budget of business services is disease, december 4, at 6 p.m. rules, policy, and administration is monday, december 2, at 5 p.m. curriculum and program. >> it's monday, not wednesday. >> it's monday -- >> it's monday, december 9, but it says wednesday. >> monday, december -- thank you. building grounds and services is monday -- is that the week of thanksgiving? >> yes. >> monday -- as of now, it's monday, november 25, at 6 p.m., the ad hoc committee on personn personnel. the committee on student assignment is monday november 18

at 6 p.m. the joint city school district is friday, december 13, at 10 a.m. that meeting will be held at city hall in the legislative chambers. any other members posted in the agenda or the following staff reports. number 1, the quarterly report on williams uniform complaints for august through october 2019. and an annual report on williams uniform complaints for 2018/19 school year. the vice president and then commissioner collins. >> so the williams report tend to be pretty pro forma, but i do have a question. i don't know if anybody on staff is here to answer. if not, we can get back to this later. if you look at the document, there is 11 facility complaints,

and nine were resolved and two unresolved. so i want to know -- first of all, i would like to know what the facilities and the complaints are, because there is no supporting documentation around that and what the timeline is to resolve the issues. i don't know, dawn -- >> i can follow up on that and get you a response, commissioner. >> but an even bigger issue, and i've been bringing this up in different matters or forms, the first item is textbooks and instructional materials. i would contend that part of our instructional materials at the elementary level is having a robust classroom library and we don't have that. so i feel like we're violating the williams laws or rules that are set in place by williams, which actually was part of my first time on the board. because the textbooks are not

really being used in elementary schools. if they are, shame on us. so i want us to really look at this. how can we put robust, meaningful, culturally relevant books in our classrooms so that teachers can do the work that they're supposed to do and they're trained to do the in classrooms. can we put that in click -- cim aluminium? >> we are going to address that in the december 9th meeting. >> you read my mind. >> i was concerned about that as well, but i want to highlight this textbook that i keep bringing is the social studies textbook, i'm hearing that it's

racist and teachers don't want to use it, but they don't have materials to supplement it. i don't think teachers should use this textbook, but this is considered as compliant and that is a concern for me. additionally, my daughter's english teacher has a place in the school and she is being asked to bring these back in. if i personally walked into schools and asked, do you have enough books for reading, if we're just counting textbooks, we're not counting enough -- this says instructional materials, this is more expansive in this thing -- in what i'm reading here. so i'm not seeing that. additionally, i received an e-mail from a room parent saying that it's freezing cold in one

of the rooms and they didn't know that was a potential complaint nor did the teachers. so one of the things that comes up for me is that parents and educators don't even know what williams complaints are for. we could go to the educators and ask if the room is too hot or cold. in a lot of times they don't even know they could be filing williams complaints. how are we educating families on the williams complaints. it says we are supposed to post information in every classroom. when i met with the student advisory committee, they have a whole list of high schools that they say the trash cans are overflowing, the trash cans

don't have toilet paper, that's a williams complaint and they didn't know that and they're student leaders. so we can't doing our job in educating community leaders about what williams complaints are for. so i want to work with the parent education and whoever's in charge of that to educate families, students, and staff about williams complaints because they shouldn't have to organize and advocate to get toilet paper. i want them organizing for social justice. so i don't know what the venue is for having that conversation. like, is there a committee or how do we talk about that? i don't know if that could be put on there to be able to report things that aren't happening in our schools.

>> section o. at this time we'll take public comment for those who have submitted cards for closed session items. seeing none, the board will now go into closed session. thus, i call a recess of the pled guilty meeting. resuming the regular meeting. number one, student expulsion matters, i move approval of the stipulated expulsion agreement of one agreement on 2020. number 3 for the remainder of the fall semester, can i have a second. [roll call vote].

>> i move for movement of the expulsion of this student for the remainder of this semester. [roll call vote]. >> the contract of one principal in the case number 2019-100237. the board by a vote of six gives the board the authority to pay a stipulated amount in a matter of [ indiscernible ] -- the board

votes six to give the ability to pay the amount in the matter of george washington high school alumni association a public benefit corporation versus sfusd [ indiscernible ] -- the board gave direction to general council on a matter of litigation. the board authorized general council to initiate litigation by a vote of six ayes, one absent. section r, adjournment. this meeting is adjourned. good night.

>> for joining us here today. we all know that our public transportation system in san francisco is important to our present and it is definitely critical to the future of our city. as our city grows, as our economy grows, as we build more housing, as more people work here, we know that we can't continue to grow in those areas

without thinking about improvements to our public transportation system. as someone who grew up in this city, i relied on muni, the 31, the 22 philmore, the 44, you name it, i was on those buses. the 19, i know the routes by heart. but the fact is, you know, we need to do better. we need to make sure that people, especially people who rely on muni to get to work, school, doctors appointments, so many of our seniors who can't drive and need to pick up their medications and other things, we need to make sure that our public transportation system is reliable for all of our communities, in all parts of san francisco, especially on those communities that have consistently been neglected.

it means safer streets for pedestrians and bicyclists and all of its users. we know over the years the city is a lot more congested than it has ever been, but we also know to make it a better city and to reach our climate goals, we have to leave it less congested. we have a lot of work to do and we are doing the work. in june we created a working group with city leaders and staff and industry leaders with the goal of making this better. i am looking forward to seeing the recommendations coming out. over the past few years we have made some significant investments. we committed to doubling the pace of building more protected bike lanes. we established a quick build

program to increase the delivery of low-cost units. and we expanded our focus on traffic safety. thankfully the voters gave us one more tool to improve streets with the passage of proposition v. this will allow us to invest $30 million in light rail vehicles anduses as well as street safety improvements. so the work continues and we will continue to do the work that we can to move these objectives forward as quickly as possible. these objectives are the responsibility of the san francisco municipal transportation agency. the m.t.a. managing our streets, public transportation, other mobility options like bike shares and e-scooters, and a lot of public infrastructure projects, like the central

subway and van neessb.r.t. this is a system that looks at day-to-day operations as well as looking at the future and how we make sure that the challenges that existed now don't continue to exist in the future. this requires a strong vision and strong leadership. so today i'm proud to announce that the s.f. board will be recommending -- the s.f. m.t.a. board will be recommending jeffry tumlin as the next director of s.f. m.t.a. this is jeffry. you can clap. [ laughter ]. >> mayor breed: jeff is an international transportation expert who brings over 25 years of experience of improving transportation in cities. he was recently the interim

director at the oakland department of transportation, where he laid the foundation for the agency's future success with a lens on environmental benefits and equality. i believe jeffry will do the same at s.f. m.t.a. throughout his career, he has been known for bringing a visionary perspective on transportation in cities and helping to implement innovative ideas that are desperately needed. he will be joining the city as a long-time resident of noey valley and will be the first lgbtq director in s.f.'s history. i look forward to working with jeffry to help us deliver a great transportation system in san francisco, and i want to thank the board, including the president of the board who is here today, malcolm heinikie and

gweneth borden, thank you for your leadership and coordinating the interview process and everything that you did, to make sure that we found the best person possible to do the job to make our public transportation and infrastructure and all that we need to do to improve mobility in san francisco in a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to choosing that person who could do just that. ladies and gentlemen, jeffry tumlin. >> good morning. my name is jeff tumlin, and i have been in the transportation industry for a long time, for 25 years, advising cities and transit agencies how to clarify their values and then use transportation investments to make those values manifest. i like asking questions about

what is most important, what does success look like, and more importantly how would we measure whether we were actually successful or not. that's where my technical work comes into play, trying to use tools to be able to measure social equity and environmental outcomes and to align our transportation spending in order to best achieve the public good. i ended up in this industry against my better judgment. i discovered very early in my career and sort of by accident that we in transport have a bigger impact on public health outcomes than the medical industry does. we have a bigger impact on economic development, than economic development programs do. and more importantly, we are arguably the biggest driver of opportunity. we decide how many jobs people can get to in a reasonable commute time.

we determine whether children can get safely to school, which impacts their academic performance. we are fundamental drivers of economic opportunity or destroyers of economic opportunity. we have resources. if we use those resources wisely, we can correct the ways in which my industry has historically destroyed opportunity and wealth for people of color. early in my industry's history, if you wanted to build a highway project, you got extra points for removing light. light of course being defined as african-american and latino ownership. the city and county of san francisco did not escape that dark period in our industry, and

we have a key responsibility to correct for the past and to equalize opportunity for everyone. we can also do what some mobility tech companies want us to do, which is to provide more exquisite convenience for the privilege. i'm committed to doing the former, and using transportation as a tool to make san francisco achieve its potential. that includes addressing problems like the fact that 25 people have died in our streets this year and were on track to injure nearly 3,000. we lose in injuries and fatalities about 647 people in san francisco. i want to change that. you can see from my social media presence that i've long been an outspoken proponent of changing core practices in my industry

and using the power that we have in transportation to reduce climate change, improve quality of life, foster small business success, and advance equity. i've reached the point in my cle career, however, where it's time to stop advising and start doing. i've worked all over the world, and san francisco remains the only city that i felt was my home. san francisco has assembled all of the pieces that we need in order to create dramatic and progressive change. we've got a visionary m.t.a. board that i cannot wait to work for. we have the most talented agency staff in the industry. we have a tenacious and hard-driving mayor who i know will make a great partner. we also have a progressive board

of supervisors ready to ask the tough questions. i am ready to serve all of them. i don't have a 30 or 100-day plan. my first task is to listen carefully to staff. we do have the most incredible assembly of talent of any city in the country. i trust their professional expertise. it is my job first to listen and then secondly, and more importantly, to remove obstacles so that they can do their good and productive work. i do not know all of the answers yet. it's going to take me a while to learn from staff what the best answers are. i want to close by saying that we have talent, resources and some clarity about what our resources are in san francisco, but there remains a gap between san francisco's potential and

its current reality. i am deeply excited to do the hard work to close that gap. we have the tools and all of the resources that we need, unlike really any city in the world. i can't wait to get started, particularly with the help of all of you in this room, the press. with that, i'm happy to take questions. malcolm, did you have words to say? >> absolutely. i know i stand between you and the questions for our new director of transportation. i am the chair of the new m.t.a. board. if i seem excited, it's because i am. we are in the process of hiring a star for san francisco. we are very excited here today. the first person i want to thank is is the mayor, not just because of her commitment and support, but also i want to

thank the mayor for not just her support and partnership in this, but the fact that you challenged us you were the result of a challenge to get a bold leader to take this agency forward. i'm grateful for that challenge. that challenge led us to an international search. we searched far and wide. i want to thank the search committee for the wonderful job that was done to conduct a truly international search that led us to someone in our backyard, a san franciscan to run our agency. what has struck us about jeff more than his expertise, dedication, and his experience is his passion. you just heard it. he recognizes how transportation affects people's lives, making it better when it goes well and worse when it doesn't. with that, we are very excited.

i wish jeff the absolute best. i know he won't need luck because he's a true professional and i'm excited to see him be a star and a partner. in my closing comments, i would like to say this, the last few months have been tumultuous at the agency, but not as much as without a director. the acting director kept the ship steady, was professional, calm, and an absolute pleasure to work with. thank you for your service. with that, i will turn the podium back to the super staff to answer our questions. thank you for the questions. >> what questions do you have? >> [ indiscernible ].

[♪] >> it did take a village. i was really lucky when i was 14 years old to get an internship. the difference that it made for me is i had a job, but there were other people who didn't have a job, who, unfortunately, needed money. and they were shown to commit illegal acts to get money. that is what i want to prevent. [♪] today we are here to officially kick off the first class of opportunities for all. [applause]. >> opportunities for all is a program that mayor breed launched in october of 2018. it really was a vision of mayor

breed to get to all of the young people in san francisco, but with an intention to focus on young people that have typically not being able to access opportunities such as internships or work-based learning opportunities. >> money should never be a barrier to your ability to succeed in life and that is what this program is about. >> there's always these conversations about young people not being prepared and not having experience for work and if they don't get an opportunity to work, then they cannot gain the experience that they need. this is really about investing in the future talent pool and getting them the experience that they need. >> it is good for everyone because down the road we will need future mechanics, future pilots, future bankers, future whatever they may be in any industry. this is the pipe on we need to work with. we need to start developing talent, getting people excited about careers, opening up those pathways and frankly giving opportunities out there that

would normally not be presented. [♪] >> the way that it is organized is there are different points of entry and different ways of engagement for the young person and potential employers. young people can work in cohorts or in groups and that's really for people that have maybe never had job experience or who are still trying to figure out what they want to do and they can explore. and in the same way, it is open for employers to say, you know what, i don't think we are ready to host an intern year-round are all summer, but that they can open up their doors and do site visits or tours or panels or conversations. and then it runs all the way up to the opportunity for young people to have long-term employment, and work on a project and be part of the employee base. >> something new, to get new experience and meet people and then you are getting paid for it you are getting paid for doing that. it is really cool.

>> i starting next week, i will be a freshman. [cheers and applause] two of the things i appreciate about this program was the amazing mentorship in the job experience that i had. i am grateful for this opportunity. thank you. >> something i learned at airbnb is how to network and how important it is to network because it is not only what you know, but also who you know to get far in life. >> during this program, i learned basic coding languages, had a had to identify the main components and how to network on a corporate level. it is also helping me accumulate my skills all be going towards my college tuition where i will pursue a major in computer science. >> for myself, being that i am an actual residential realtor, it was great. if anybody wants to buy a house, let me know. whenever. [applause] it is good. i got you. it was really cool to see the

commercial side and think about the process of developing property and different things that i can explore. opportunities for all was a great opportunity for all. >> we were aiming to have 1,000 young people register and we had over 2,000 people register and we were able to place about between 50 and did. we are still getting the final numbers of that. >> over several weeks, we were able to have students participate in investment banking they were able to work with our team, or technology team, our engineering 20 we also gave them lessons around the industry, around financial literacy. >> there are 32,000 young people ages 16 and 24 living in san francisco. and imagine if we can create an opera skin it just opportunity for all program for every young person that lives in public housing, affordable housing, low income communities.

it is all up to you to make that happen. >> we have had really great response from employers and they have been talking about it with other employers, so we have had a lot of interest for next year to have people sign on. we are starting to figure out how to stay connected to those young people and to get prepared to make sure we can get all 2400 or so that registered. we want to give them placement and what it looks like if they get more. >> let's be honest, there is always a shortage of good talent in any industry, and so this is a real great career path. >> for potential sponsors who might be interested in supporting opportunities for all , there is an opportunity to make a difference in our city. this is a really thriving, booming economy, but not for everyone. this is a way to make sure that everyone gets to benefit from the great place that san francisco is and that we are building pathways for folks to be able to stay here and that they feel like they will belong.

>> just do it. sign up for it. [♪]

>> two things have been brought to my attention, the cross-over on the bridge has been operating with a flashing red light instead of green, which is a passenger comfort issue and that ten-mile per hour speed limit signs have been added to the bus deck which is designed for buses operating at 20 miles per hour

and that will be a limiting factor and also could be causing the bus fountains to behave anemically. after six months of operation, look into that. we want to make sure we don't do temporary safety ideas that just get solidified and end up inhibiting our future capacity. >> ok, we'll follow up on that. >> call your next item, item 5, the exclusive director's report. >> good morning, directors. i'm pleased to provide you this morning with an update on ongoing operations at the transit center and our work to move forward. it's been a busy month of transit operations, events and activities, as well as efforts to onboard new tenants and retail spaces. first off, staff plan and responded to potential impact from the soma wildfires and outages from pg & e.

we have redundant systems in place for power outages and while we were not impacted by the power outages we used this to review our systems and protocol for power outages to ensure the least impact possible in the event we have one. as for bus plaza operations, we meet with the transit operators. and we are responding to a request for minor improvements and maintenance issues and moving forward with plans to waive findings signage in collaboration with atc and sfmta. as for the park, nice weather in september and october resulted in large grounds with exciting new events such as game meet-ups. these new events joined our regular complements joined by nearby families and seniors as

well as fitness and wellness sponsored by fitness sf. as of november, we have adjusting programming for the fall and winter months adding a movie night. the park hours are now 8:00 p.m. for the fall and winter months. and on the retail front, i'm happy to report that we are bringing three additional leases for you today. we are finalizing a fourth lease under my approval authority. if all four leases are approved and executed, this will result in 75% of the transit center p being fully leased. this is an exciting time as we will see large numbers of the public visiting with the first of the tenants opening durings to thdoors tothe public. on-site dental is opening and fitness assess has started selling memberships on site and getting ready for the grand opening on december 27th.

phil's coffee is communitied too have two locations open in january. with all of these openings, we will have 45% of the transit open for service, basically. and with these businesses open, we will have much more traffic than we have today. as a point of reference, fitness sf alone is expected to have 3,000 visitors a day under normal operations. our security and operation's teams are busy on-boarding new tenants and they are plan for the increased foot traffic throughout the transit center. and we are now focusing on helping the remainder of the tenants and working on the permit processing, making sure they respond to dbi comments as soon as possible and with their procurement process of the contractors.

our facility manager with provide you with more updates on that later this morning. on to phase two in the downtown extension, we were happy to cohost a tour with mtc for congressman rodney davis of illinois. congressman davis is a member of the house, transportation and infrastructure committee and he was in california to enlarge infrastructure projects and very impressed with the transit center and with our effort for planning ahead for the future by building the lower concourse and train levels as part of phase one in preparation for phase two and the trains. phase two peer review is now complete. we work with our partners to implement the recommendations that was done earlier this year by the tgpa, as well as results of the peer review. our hope is that these peer reviews will strengthen the

project and get it delivered on time. at this time, i would like to invite dennis pearson for the update agreements. >> good morning. i'll provide you a brief report of the project labor agreement quarterly for q3 and go through the administration and labor statistics as previous reports. so we held our 30th meeting of september 19th with the joint administrative committee where we went through a construction close-out you'll hear today from ron alamada and an improvement update you'll hear from martha valez and we discuss union updates and apprenticeships, as well, as our standing operations, with the veterans and apprentices and all of the unions at this point. regarding the labor update, we did not have any work stoppages and that affected no labor

instances at all during our punch list items and zero recordables in the third quarter which keeps our street going quite awhile now. and then lastly, statistics on how many hours we've had as of th.as of september 30, we had 5.7 million and skeletal clue cleaning up that ron will refer to, i'm sure we surpassed 5.7 mill at this point. so with that, that concludes my brief project labor agreement update. >> this concludes my report, as well. >> any questions? >> in talking about signage, somebody mentioned that the signage from the transbay terminal to bart is not clear. they weren't aware they could see it and i know i've seen in other cities where there's signage along the floor and i know we have that outside of the

terminal, getting people to the bus deck but i wonder if it's directing people to the two bart stations. maybe that's something we can work on. >> to get a consultant on board for an overreview of the signage and do some outreach to the passengers and let us know what other signage needs to be done. >> i think a lot of us use it, we know where the bart stations are. >> we'll include that. >> good morning. i'm jim patrick from patrick and

company and i would like to talk about this joint labor agreement and i argued at the same podium maybe four or five years ago, i've forgotten, that this was a mistake and we shouldn't adopt this agreement. and they stayed thank you, mr. patrick, all in favour say aye and it was passed unanimously. now we're five years down the line and how did we do? well, let's see, we didn't have a strike and that was good. did we deliver the project on time? no. this sort of assumes we agreed to pay the highest price for labor and that's in the contract. now let's see, that implies the highest quality and i'm trying to think. i remember a big hole in a beam and it caused 11, 12-month delay. we brought on this contractor, fisk, and they were a disaster. oh, we knew what our costs were.

they would be easy. we went overbudget. we didn't know what our costs were. i think by not doing this, we could have saved $300 million, could have saved the the city of san francisco and brought in ins in on time. we pride ourselves $3 million on 50 states. why aren't we spending in the san francisco bay area? doesn't that make more sense? what's wrong with us? it's a politically correct decision but your job is to manage a business. you agreed to pay 5.7 million craft hours, you just reported and you agreed to pay the highest price. for sure, we're going to have the highest budget. for sure, we're probably going to have cost overruns and it won't work very well. since this is a done deal, i would like to reference to the

memorandum, which is part of what he was talking about and in the third line it says, this agreement provided -- i'm talking about the jpl or whatever it's called -- provided standardized working conditions and wages. i suggest we need to add the word highest as an adjective to the wages because we also agreed to pay the highest wages and we're sweeping that problem under the table and i don't think that's right. thank you. item six is the construction close-out dates. >> good morning, directors, ron alameda, director of design and construction for the tgpa and i'm pleased to report that we're advancing through the close-out.

now that we're open and the physical aspects of the beam are behind us, we were able to refocus everybody on to the close-out effort. as we stand now, as you see in the pie graph, we have 14 trade groups that are in active close-out with the contractor and 13 out of 49 are goin advang to a dispute resolution meeting to help resolve those issues. we have 22 closed out and related that in terms of close-out, we're down to 26 punch list items. so that effort, the physical effort out on the site is winding down. and we expect to, in terms of

timesline, trajectory, we're striving to close out the straightforward contractors with the web core by the end of the year and we're striving to wrap up the dispute resolution activity early next year, january, february, and then we'll see the remainders, if any, that will continue on to litigation. and we'll get to that a little bit more next month when we have a briefing in closed session regarding legal matters. contingency costs in the last couple of months, it's been $400,000 worth of contingency draw-down, three of which were from the cmgc contingency and finalizing old issues going back and forth. in terms of new stuff, the

construction contingency of 100,000 was generally netting out due to modifications because of ti and the mechanical work and what have you. so small and winding down usage of the contingency as we wrap up the physical work up there. with respect to budget, construction budget, we have an uptick of 19.1 million and that's drawn from both contingency and program reserve and i think the drivers were discussed in earlier meetings and this is just a reflection of dealing with a bit of the legal matters, as well as some of the additional costs with the ti work. and the e estimated at completin

was 2 million in legal that moved that needle and towards the completion, where our program reserve was reduced by 10.5 million. again, to reflect the movement towards construction. that's about it. pretty short and street and we're in the final strokes of closing this thing out? thank you very much. >> move on to your next item. item 7 is the facility operation's update. >> good morning, directors, martha valez, the facility manager. i will provide a general facility's update. sidney will give a security

overvieoverview and i will discs leasing and tenant improvements. when we last met discussions with regard to amtrak had not been finalized. since that time, amtrak decided to relocate to the street-level island at mission and fremont and it is the same island that sam-trans uses. this was effective on october 28th and they are currently vacating the temporary terminal this month. other transit activity as of note -- transit center activity as of note is the executive director mentioning on-site dental will be ready to open on monday, november 18th. the top picture is a completed exam room and it is washed in blue light because they have a lighting system that can individually adjust to each exam room according to patient's needs and fitness assess is moving full steam ahead to open

on december 27th. they are currently conducting on-site membership drive. lastly, phil's is targeting the end of january, so at that point, almost half the center will be open for business. this slide is to provide you a visual of the activities of the three tenants starting at the top left moving clock-wise. the first two pictures are fitness assess setting up an exercise area. the next two are phil's with a picture of how they wrapped the storefront at mena and front street. the picture of the inside of that same space under construction, you can see the framing is nearly finished. the last two are on-site dental and a picture of the completed interior hallways with exam rooms on each side and a picture of one of the exam rooms. when i took they picture, they were still setting up. generally, other activities of

note, lincoln is working with a vendor on the european style market for the gran hall and i'll provide a few more details on this next slide and brv has moved into the winter programming. the park is now closing an hour earlier at 8:00 p.m. and each friday in november is movie night and mostly geared towards children and in december, a half week before the holidays, a low-key winter fest is planned with activities also geared towards children, for example, time with santa and face painting and planned is silent disco and music. popular activities, such as toddler tuesdays remain. the daily calendar can be found on the salesforcetransitcenter.com. pearl work is ongoing. this slide notes the advertisers to date and the expected revenue of about 652,000.

the top picture is to highlight that food trucks remain a daily routine and going up to the park. and the bottom picture is a representation of the european holiday style market and the european market is planned for the grand hall and the outside area between the grand hall and sales force tower and boston properties is working with the same vendor to extend the market on to sales force plaza. the bottom right is how the vendors would be arranged and run through the month of december from 11:00 a.m. to 7:0s pending ironing out details with the vendor. the overall objective is to build events with annual center tradition creating excitement, foot traffic, support the businesses and by extension supports the transit operators and the general public.

>> an update on security, supporting brb's new winter hours and the reduced winter park hours and coordinating with transit operators to make incremental security improvements to the bus ramp to include additional signage and improve messaging. securities coordinating with the tenants as a part of the pa strategy to prepare for the retail transit center. >> thank you. >> the following is an up on the retail leasing. today four leases will be presented, three of which are on the content calendar and the three on the consent calendar are spring fertility, poke house, gte or mobile verizon and with the director signing authority. as a reminder, the director signing authority is leasing that are ten years or less and 1.$8 million in aggregate rent

or less. and this table is a summary of the status of the center when the four leases are completed. and as you can see, the center will be 75% leased with the average annual rent at 98% of proforma. when fully leased it would exceed proforma. this spring lease is spring fertility, on the second floor on the but florid plaza adjaceno on-site dental. the nature of the business is as it is named. a consultation office with no procedures performed other than blood draws. rent of 3.3 million over 15 years and a base-building

estimate less than proforma for net proceeds the life of the lease at 2.7 million. this next least is poke house and they feature hawaiian style poke. that's a slice raw fish served over rice and fresh vegetables with sauces. this the first san francisco location with five other locations in the bay area. to recap the deal above proforma, ten years, three months, rent of 1.13 million over ten years and three months. tenant improvement that is less than proforma for net proceeds over the life of the lease of 770,000. this next one is an outlet and to recap, in general above proforma, rent of 2.5 million, a

tenant improvement in base building estimate less than proforma with the tenant improvement at zero and offsets the rent and the lease is $1.84 million. this is the last lease, happy lemon. this will feature teas and juices and this is the first location of san francisco and others throughout the bay area. to recap the deal, above pro for proforma, a base building estimate sightly above and offset by the proforma rent and net proceeds over the life are

$600,000. we're working clock-wise and we have phil's coffee, happy lemon, suite 17 and 18 were working for initial services, hopefully a bank, tycoon kitchen, venga and pernadas and suite 135, it's a mexican restaurant, charlies, a foundation cafe, phil's coffee and verizon and suite 137 is a health food operator and sweet 133 is a space without specific interest. we have interest from two operators. and this is the second floor, as you know, above the -- below the bus, sf kaiser and on-site dental and spring fertility so the entire second floor has

nicely filled in with health-related services. and lastly, the park level, the restaurant and cafe pad. in discussing the tenant improvements, this is to provide an overview of what was originally envisioned for the program in 2010 as compared to today. and this is what the market demanded. this puts into context the work needed to reconcile the built systems to what is needed to invest in the kitchen exhaust and utility tenant improvements. on the ground level, 14 spaces in 2010 as compared to 23 spaces today and what this means to the infrastructure is capacity and

scrubber and for all spaces redistribution for water, gas and sewer. on the second level below the bus deck, a food court in 2010, fitness sf today. so this mainly means redistribution of gas lines and how configured at the source in the meter room. at the second level, adding services meant adding lines for water sewer and a redistribution for the electrical. this work has actually already been done because of needing to complete it before the ocs lines were electrified. and also note the original plan was for non-revenue generating space on the space above the bus plaza and in general smaller spaces demand higher per-foot than lower spaces. and so as impacts to overall schedules are understood with regard to the kitchen exhaust

and utility work, also to be reconciled are the tenant's own schedules. on the left side of the table are the various challenges to the schedule and on the right side are actions and/or mitigations related to the noted challenges. the top section labeled physical, i'm going to discuss that in a later slide. the bottom section lists the various areas that impact the tenant's own schedules and how addressed. and with permitting, lincoln has hired an expedited in supporting the tenants as they move through the process and a primary benefit is making sure that the tenant is responding to dbi's comments so as to not slow the process. the expediter produces weekly notes for each tenant on a weekly basis. a tight labor market in some instances has delayed the tenant in getting competitive quotes.

they are working as was done with fitness sf and on-site dental but not every tenant wants to do that. with the construction timeline, in general, lincoln is endeavoring to compress the timeline, again, to work with the landlord concurrently as just described. tenants are also experiencing sticker shock. this is also a factor in that even with competitive bids, costs are high and as noted in recent chronicle in october and this means the tenant will have to rethink what was originally envisioned in the space. lastly, many of the tenants have expressed needing to open at the same time as neighbors because of synergy needed for foot traffic generation. this is also a schedule impact in working with them to support them in their success.

so taking the previous factors into consideration, this slide is what the start of revenue may look like with the solid bar depicting the fiscal year '19-'20 and the cross-hatch indicating a projected start. even so, keep in mind revenue will be generated on 45% of the leasable space by the end of january. on-site dental, fitness sf and fills and the rest will follow in clusters. also, not every ground-floortinnant may befloore impacted. seven are leased by tenants that are type one and type one is smoke and grease and of the seven, four are currently impacted because they are at a point in their design work where specific information is needed to move forward. the rest
