[roll call] >> clerk: we have quorum. >> chair haney: thank you, mr. clerk. will you please call the next item. >> clerk: item 2, chair's report. this is informational item. >> chair haney: thank you. and thank you, colleagues, for convening as the treasure island management committee. as you know, housing on treasure island is ever closer to reality. the first new homes are anticipated on yerba buena island as soon as 18 months from now. significant construction is underway, and with that, the new year requires some

important decision including toll policy for future workers workers -- current workers as well as residents and future workers. this month, i offered our full support for the water emergency transportation authority's innovative application to the california state transportation agency for the 2020 transit and inner city rail capital program. the requested funds will support the construction of an all-electric 99-passenger ferry vellve, and the required shoring infrastructure to serve the new treasure island route, demonstrating the nation's first all electric zero emission ferry to the downtown san francisco route actually realizes the environmental

roles for the treasure island development. it's to create a community that incentivizes clean transit in order to accomplish zero emission. with traffic on the bay bridge often at a standstill during commute hours, ferry service is a critical component of the island's transportation network to ensure residents the fastest and most environmentally friendly commute to downtown san francisco. with that, i conclude my remarks. are there any questions or comments on my remarks? any public comment on the chair's report? seeing none, mr. clerk, will you please read the next item? >> clerk: item 3, director's report.

this is an action item. >> thank you. our deputy director, rachel hyatt and i, presented at the island research board. we presented, along with a whole host of other cities, london, stockholm, milan, singapore, l.a., vancouver. it was a really great panel, and it was covered in the media, so this is definitely that we're not doing alone. it's something that many cities throughout the world and particularly now in north america are looking at, particularly after new york city decided to go forward last year. i want to thank you, chair haney, and the director at weta for going forward. there's another grant, a sister

grant for a vessel for mission bay if they are funded by calsta. meanwhile, we continue to work on the concept of operations and for the a.v. pilot. this is the autonomous pilot on the island. this is with the california public utilities commission and the deputy of motor vehicles, which are the permitting entities for autonomous shuttles. one of the benefits is the potential to serve as a near term bike link for the island. until we have the bike paths to come from the island to san francisco downtown, the ferry can provide that path option for folks coming across the east bay to yerba buena and down to the ferry terminal and take the ferry over on their

bicycle. so this work is being developed as part of the overall bike connection. the t.a. put $200,000 of prop k funds and our staff will come back to report on the yerba buena bicycle pedestrian path, and i know that eric cordoba is working with his partners on tida so that the bike pedestrian path can be incorporated seamlessly into that bridge project, as well. so with that, i'm happy to take any questions. >> chair haney: any questions or comment on the chair's -- or executive director's report? any public comment on chair's report? >> hi. i don't have any comment. i'm your -- on your report, i'm sorry. i came very late. i'm on treasure island sometimes. i share custody with my children's father out there,

and i'm just very disgusted about the idea of tolls. i was born and raised in san francisco, and like many native san francisca franciscans, i cd to live here. i spent many months in a shelter, and i come from an abusive home, including with my children's dad. there's a lot of low-income people, and who you're going to punish is the poor people. you don't charge people to go to pacific heights. who you're going to alienate is the poor people out there. i can tell you my children's father is an alcoholic, just like many of his neighbors, but those are the people that need

visitors, those are the people that need outreach. walden house is out there. it's just very disgusting to me that this is the san francisco that i'm living in. sometimes there's backpacks that are left, things that are left. sometimes i have to go back and forth, and you're going to punish my children's ability to visit their dad and their ability to have a good life. i think my two minutes are up. thank you so much for hearing me today. >> chair haney: thank you for your comment. any other public comment? public comment is closed. mr. clerk, will you call the next item. >> clerk: approve the minutes of the november 19, 2019 meeting. this is an action item. >> chair haney: okay. is there any questions or comments? seeing none, can we have a motion to approve the minutes?

motion by commissioner walton, seconded by commissioner mandelman. can we have a roll call vote, please. >> clerk: on the motion to approve the minutes -- [roll call] >> clerk: we have final approval. >> chair haney: thank you, mr. chair -- or sorry. clerk. also, are there any public comments -- public comment on the minutes? all right. great. seeing none, can you call the next item. >> clerk: item 5, election of chair and vice chair for 2020. this is an action item. >> chair haney: great. so the nominations are now in order for the office of the chair. are there any nominations for chair? commissioner mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: i nominate matt haney. >> chair haney: thank you. is there a second? all right.

second from commissioner ronen. is there any -- are there any further nominations? uh-oh, somebody else want to do this? okay. thirded by commissioner yee. all right. seeing no further nominations, nominations are now closed. is there any public comment on this item? all right. can we have a vote for chair. >> clerk: we can take that -- oh, yes -- >> chair haney: same house, same call. all right. is there a nomination for vice chair? commissioner mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: i nominate shamann walton. >> chair haney: all right. is there a second? commissioner ronen seconds the nomination. is there any public comment on election of vice chair?

seeing none, public comment is closed, and we can also take this same house, same call. congratulations, and thank you, vice chair walton. excited to serve with you for another term. and with that, mr. clerk, can you please call items 6 and 7 together. >> clerk: item 6, seek final approval on first appearance, audit report for the fiscal year ended june 30, 2019. item 7, internal accounting report for the six months ending sept 1 seember 1, 2019. >> thank you, chair haney, for allowing me to present this. the report for 2019, it was a clean audit. they had no recommendations or adjustments. this item is up for action. i'd also like to present the

quarterly financial statements for the six months ending december 31, 2018. in terms of revenues, we have collected $1.2 million of revenues for grant funded sources for timma. we have also incurred $383,000 for expenditures for the first six months. both amounts are within the timma budget, and with that, i'm happy to answer any questions. and item number 6 is an action item, item 7 is an info item. >> chair haney: great. thank you. any questions or comments from colleagues? seeing none, any members of the public that would like to speak on -- commissioner yee? >> president yee: so i looked through the financial report, which is great. it seems all positive, but this is an audit, and it's kind of odd that it seems like more of

a program audit than a fiscal audit. >> this one is the fiscal audit. the program audit normally consists of 16 different compliance areas. that is audited with the t.a.s -- the san francisco transportation authority's audit. >> president yee: so generally, when i see audit on there, when it's a fiscal audit, that they have findings, and it doesn't say anything about findings or satisfactory or whatever, which is kind of odd. >> that will be covered in the opinion, in the first couple of pages where they say there's an unknown modified audit, which is the opinion. where you see that is the t.a. audit because they only selected t.a. programs to audit

this year. >> president yee: okay. got it. thank you. >> chair haney: any public comment on this item? all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. and we can take this also same house, same call. >> clerk: house has changed. >> chair haney: oh, the house has changed. roll call. >> clerk: we need a motion and a second. >> chair haney: motion by commissioner yee, seconded by commissioner mandelman. >> clerk: on item 6 -- [roll call] >> clerk: we have final approval. >> chair haney: thank you. mr. clerk, will you please call the next item. >> clerk: item 8, introduction of new items.
