exceed $2,382,935. the san francisco municipal transportation agency in an amount not to exceed $4,788,248 and the san francisco bay area water emergency transportation authority in an amount not to exceed $3,200,000 with us environmental protection agency community change grant program funds for transportation improvement projects on treasure island. this is an action item. >> thank you, madam clerk. and we have wanted to show the assistant deputy deputy director for planning and also i believe lily yu is going to be available remotely. she is the finance manager. before that however, i did want to just mention that last month at the transportation authority board meeting i had the pleasure of announcing a $20 million united states epa grant for treasure island that we were awarded in december for a multi-part transit program called tai connects. this was very exciting as it was exactly what was called for

in our community based tai supplemental transit study. it's a great partnership with one treasure island and what we need to get to serve the growing community on the islands. i would also just mention if i don't say it enough how great it is to work with one treasure island and over the weekend i was out there for that for the graduation of their construction training program. but the grant before us would have would fund much needed transit improvements such as the free island shuttle and a micro transit service to sfo eastern neighborhoods and an on island transportation resource center housed at one treasure island. although the grant has been obligated, we unfortunately have been put on administrative pause by epa staff and so the grant may be subject to various executive orders coming out of the trump administration and may therefore be at risk. i appreciate staff bringing this item forward even as we work with our city attorney david chu and his office together with other cities and states to protect our funding.

and i will say as a former member of the city attorney's office, they have done great work and successful work under the 10th amendment because local governments do have a constitutional basis for having sanctuary city policies. with that said, we now have 2012 assistant deputy director for planning to present this item so i could have floor is yours. >> good morning chair dorsey vice chair mailman s.f. governs sharing my slides. >> as chair dorsey mentioned we were awarded this $20 million community change grant from the u.s. environmental protection agency for a package of transportation projects for treasure island in december. we have an award agreement and the grant is considered obligated. no local matches required and the period of performance is three years starting in this past january. the grant is funded through the

environmental and climate justice program of the epa. so funded by the inflation reduction act. so there is some uncertainty around it at this moment. however we're moving ahead with this action item in anticipation of being able to move forward. the treasure island connects program delivers priority recommendations from the treasure island supplemental transportation study that we conducted with one treasure island which was funded by the transportation authority. we work very closely with one treasure island and the treasure island community to review existing services and how those could be improved as well as new initiatives that would benefit the existing residents and workers on treasure island. >> treasure island connects also includes several of the priority of includes several of those priority recommendations as well as components of the core transportation program such as the on island shuttle and bike share that were part of the overall development program approved.

treasure island connects has six component projects that expand the transportation options for available to from and around the islands for residents and visitors and it helps support the growing population on treasure island and the new destinations. the first is a pilot of an on demand micro transit service to destinations in san francisco beyond the salesforce transit center. micro transit is a service that provides point to point public transit service usually on demand with an app for or a phone call with this service. the riders will be able to go from treasure island to points in san francisco such as ucsf grocery stores and community services and things that are not readily available on treasure island. the service will be modeled on sfm ta's bayview shuttle service which launched this past november and has proven

very popular. the second project is a free on island shuttle serving treasure island and yerba buena island. this service can take riders to destinations around the islands including the ferry terminal. the new parks on your boat bueno and the sailing center that are a little more difficult to access. >> the third is the enhanced muni service on the t5 line which serves treasure island and the procurement of an additional battery electric bus for use on a 25 line. that project will be delivered by s.f. mta. the program includes the construction of electric charging infrastructure at the treasure island ferry terminal. this facilitates the transition from the diesel service that is currently operating on an interim basis to fully electric and this project will be delivered by rita will expand the bay wheels bike share system to treasure island and our project also includes memberships for residents and

workers on the island during this period. and finally one treasure island will launch and operate the transportation resource center which combines three priority recommendations from the supplemental transportation study community ambassadors travel training and marketing and communications regarding affordable transit options. >> looking ahead, assuming approval of this item and better clarity at the federal level will sign a sub award agreements with one treasure island s.f. mta and we will also start to mobilize to engage with the community to refine the projects and begin procurement for operators of the major transit and on island shuttle services. >> so this is a reminder of the action item before you today. it's important to note that the execution of the sub award agreements is contingent on the availability of the epa funds. that concludes my presentation and i'm happy to take any questions.

>> thank you very much. director cho i don't have any questions myself. i really appreciate this and we will keep our fingers crossed for how things move forward. i don't see anybody on the roster. should we open this up to public comment? >> chair champions no public comment for this item. >> thank you. public comment on this item is now closed. can i get a motion on item number three moved by vice chair amendment? >> madam clerk can we have a roll call in this item on the motion to approve item three. chair darcy darcy i. vice chair mandolin mandolin i. there are two eyes. >> the motion is approved. greg thanks. the item is approved. >> madam clerk would you call item number four? item four recommending acceptance of the audit report for the fiscal year ended june

30th, 2024. >> this is an action item. thank you, madam clerk. we have cynthia fong, deputy director for finance and administration here to present on item number four is fong. >> the floor is yours. thank you for the introductions. >> i'm always happy to report when we have a clean audit for the tema program. our audit was conducted by ide bailey. as the clerk mentioned, this is for fiscal year 24 2324 as of june 30th 2024. the auditors have issued an unmodified opinion which is a clean opinion. they had no adjustments to our statements and they had no findings in at the end of the year. >> we had a we were under budget by 266,000 and with that i'm happy to report or asked for this audit to be accepted by the committee. >> thank you. great. thank you so much and congratulations on the clean audit. i don't see any i think we have a need for discussion among the colleagues but can we open this up to public comment? >> is there any public comment

? >> there is no remote public comment. >> okay. public comment on this item is now closed. can i have a motion to on item number four moved by vice chair amendment i think we can take that same house same call. the item is adopted. >> madam clerk, can you please call the next item item five internal accounting report for the six months ending december 31st 2024. this is an information item. >> thank you, madam clerk. and staying with us is cynthia fong. thank you very much for your time. thank you. i should note that since the committee has not met over the past few months this is a consolidated internal accounting report for the six months ended december 31st, 2024. at this point of time we had assets of 1.3 million liabilities at 1.3 million as well revenues at 368,000 expenditures at 170,000. overall we are under budget in expenditures by 1.9 million.

really due to the slow activities for the ferry terminal enhancement project and a total affordability program it's both programs are proceeding more slowly than anticipated since we're indices closer to season four budget amendments will be taking a look and taking stock of this program and making any adjustments as necessary and bringing it back to to my committee for recommendation. with that i'm happy to take any questions you may have for this report. >> okay. there's no questions for me and i don't see anybody on the roster but why don't we open this up to public comment? >> is there any remote public comment? >> there is no remote public comment for this item. >> thank you. and public comment is now closed and as this is an information item we don't need a motion or an action. >> madam clerk, would you call the next item? item six introduction of new items this is an information item. >> okay. i don't have anything and i don't see anyone on the roster
