tjpa in 2001.stayed with the city and county from 2001 until 2003 running the tjpa. december 1, 2003, i severed from the city, the tjpa moved to a separate office space at mission where we are currently located it was myself and all of the transbay documents until march of 2004 where i hired my first staff person. that person was sara dilaudid. sir worked at our office manager from 2004 through 2007 where she was then promoted to our contracts compliance manager. -- sara gigliotti. prior to that time in march 2003, because it was just myself, i entered into a number of agreements with the city and county of san francisco to provide staff. we entered into an agreement where dennis ferreira was our general counsel. we entered into an agreement where ed harrington became our chief financial officer because of increasing duties over time we then hired our own chief financial officer who had worked with the city and county of san francisco for many years, fred clark. he came on board after ed harrington

good morning, directors but i am with the tjpa program team. i have a presentation this morning, just a few topics on the temporary terminal, to give you an update on how things are operating there. i have four key items i will speak to. one would be the shuttle bus relocation we're working on currently. i will touch on bicycle sharing, accessibility, and also operations. for a shuttle bus operations, currently we have shuttle bus operators with -- who are stopping on beale street, between mission and howard. we need to relocate these stocks because they're basically over the point where we will be excavating. we need to relocate them to proceed with the excavation for the train bus. we have five key operators that we're working with. so we have been working with those operators, as well as the division of sustainable streets, to find an appropriate place to relocate these stops that are still convenient to the temporary terminal. and we have a proposal that we are working with right now, and that is to relocate these shuttles over to the north

did the tjpa bodies of any plans? >> we have been funding most of this effort. so we have been meeting -- the planning department invites us to weekly meetings now to discuss the plan and go over the plan. the my i am looking at the height that -- >> i am looking at the height maps. from a skyline perspective, the city would look a lot better at 1,200 feet than 1,000 feet for that one tower. if you think of this as the analog to the church steeples in medieval europe, the symbolic high point of the city, what we are trying to do is commemorate basically the value of ecology by making the transit center the tallest building in the city. when you think that this will probably set the maximum height of buildings in san francisco for all time, you would leave open a lot more options for future alterations if you bump it up a little bit, at least visually. even if you are putting a windmill on top of it. , two, related. if the city does not a land, the city cannot dictate which sites will actually be developed. the specifying in such a detailed way which sites are to

per legislation, it now comes to tjpa for temporary operations. this is just a routine request for the $3.9 million for operating funds. vice chair ortiz: thank you. is the motion? a second? director metcalf: second. vice chair ortiz: roll call please. >> thank you. no members of the public indicated they wanted additional comment on that item. [roll call vote] 5 ayes and item 9 is approved. vice chair ortiz: then we go to the last item. >> item 9 is approving a resolution appreciation for nathaniel p. ford. >> we wish you the best in your next endeavors. moving on to former chairman ford's resolution . i would like to read it. whereas nathaniel p. ford sr. was elected by his colleagues as chairman of the tjpa board of directors, vice chairman from june 2007 to may 2008, and chairman from june to thousand eight to june 2011, and whereas he has been coded his -- he is dedicated his career to improving public transportation as the director of the san francisco municipal transportation agency and the joint powers board, which oversees the operation o

i want to thank the tjpa, and one of the members that are here today, gabriel metcalf. as well, the staff of the tjpa. and they give to the help of our director, maria i-80-kaplan. also recognizing our many partners because this project would not be possible with just one entity. i want to recognize john ramp of the planning department, fred black from the redevelopment department. many people are coming together to make sure this transit center will not only create open space, affordable housing, pedestrian safety, business and jobs, but will be something that the city of san francisco can be proud of. in the not too distant future, these five blocks on both sides will be bustling centers of activities for neighbors and residents alike. as maria has also pointed out, this project is projected to add over 145,000 new jobs by 2030. locating these jobs directly adjacent to transit not only grows our economy but also reduces congestion and improve the environment by making transportation easier and more convenient. at this time, i want to introduce our mayor of san francis

>> in the case of the tjpa, this is on overtime sign up. so we are not using the regular resources. it is on a sign that basis. as far as daily resources, we currently have a limited number, so we allocate resources across residential parking permit areas and then general enforcement across the downtown corridor. metering enforcements, a special detail going around doing sidewalk enforcement. we spread the resources we currently have across the city seven days a week, 24/7. we have some hiring plans going on right now also for a small number of resources while we are looking at how sfpark and some of that realignment of how we are managing the parking resources the facts and impacts our resources as well. supervisor chu: in the management of pco's, where people are allocated, where have you seen the biggest challenges in your operations? i think one of the things we ever before, at least from the residential component, is people may call in and say i have a blocked driveways or something. but they may not see a pco come out for a while. >> it depends on where the call is coming from

director ortiz: regular meeting of the tjpa. ready to call order. madam secretary, please call the order. >> i would like to note that gabriel metcalf as honest as the mayor's appointees -- gabriel metcalf is joining us as the mayor's appointees. with that, [roll call] vice chair, you do have a quorum. item three, communications. i know of none. item four, board of directors new and old business. director ortiz: new or old business for the board of directors? seeing none, let's look to the next one. >> item 5, executive director report. director ayerdi-kaplan: good morning. i would like to begin by welcoming the newest member of our board, director metcalf. welcome. he is the mayor's recent appointee. thank you for being with us. next, i would like to just said that as of june 2011, over 900,000 workers have been employed on the demolition and construction of the project, so that certainly shows stimulus is working. we are pleased to report that today. i also wanted to report that we are in our third year of our summer internship program, working wi

not just for the tjpa terminal and -- not just for the transbay terminal, but a lot of the things you want to do our capital projects rather than ongoing maintenance projects, so you do want to get the money up front and understand if you want it, how much money is available is one of the things i would like to understand. i guess the second thing i would say is what is the process by which -- where do we have the food fight about how much goes to transbay terminal compared to other potential uses? >> i believe that would be through the plan adoption hearings. i think ultimately the planning commission would be setting policy priorities when they adopt the planning code changes and other of lamenting ordinances. there would be a series of hearings leading up to the adoption. we will have a

the facility manager is working closely with tjpa as well as ac transit and greyhound to maintain the temporary terminal operations and security. we also have the transit rider of restrooms. link is seeing roughly about 50 passengers a day use the rest rooms, with no reported incidents. finally, the temporary terminal serves approximately 20,000 passengers a day, and it has recently completed one year of operation, and we think it is operating very well. that is the end of my report. any questions? >> that is the para transit service, i believe? >> yes. >> you have accessibility issues than on moving these things, and you are aware of those? continuous path, accessible paths? >> yes. >> i am sure kaiser permanente has some of the same issues. >> correct. >> ok. i will add that i have not received any complaints about the temporary terminal for seven r a eight months, so i know is going well. >> thank you. >> thank you pyeatt now i would like to have to sarah present the quarterly financial reports. >> good morning, directors. sarah. for our new directors, welcome. by way of background

i should also point out that the tjpa and the public sector with your partnership in the city is the only entity in the country that is actually investing real dollars to support high speed rail. since the plan would increase height and density limits in the area, it was important for us to look at the skyline. bear with me on our planning talk for a few seconds, but it was important for us to look at when we talk of the buildings up to 1,000 feet what this will do to our skyline, what it will look like, how to maintain and make more distinct the city skyline. the city skyline today is characterized by what we most see -- the transamerica building, the bank of america building, leaving conte hours, and a lot of similar height buildings. the terminal and the project the transit center will create a new focal point for the city in exactly the places where it should be and create a kind of new heart of downtown south of market which is exactly where we have been thinking it should go for the last 25 years. as seen from treasure island as well, the idea is to really

neighborhood, both in the transbay and in surrounding neighborhoods, that will bring funding to the tjpa to continue funding which will bring railroads in, infrastructure that is badly needed in the neighborhood, funding for parks and many other amenities. i invite you to look at this transit district plan brochure that was put together by the planning department. now i want to invite mayor lee to sign the eye beam that will be coming in as part of the shoring wall. mayor lee. >> should i leave room for anybody else? what is today's date? how about that. all right. oh, my goodness! steve! shut up! do you have a problem with your friends driving recklessly? with your friends endangering your life? i'm here to tell you that reckless driving is the number one cause of teenage deaths. but with new and improved "slow down" you don't have to die! he's right! we should slow down! announcer: in the real world... passenger: kim, pay attention! >> and now i have the pleasure to introduce to you the may year of the great city of san francisco, the honorable edwin lee, followed by the executive dire

and just so that everyone knows, the tjpa, their big project, i just signed the purchase orders for those yesterday. those will be coming in in september. we have staff to cover the plan check on those. so we do have staff to cover any and that -- anticipated projects for this year, without the new hires. i also want to bring this to your attention, and it is not a budget item, but the department did receive two awards. one of them was from youth works for our efforts in entering and using intern's as part of our program. another one was a thank you to the department of san francisco building inspection from west bay housing corporation and satellite housing for the completion of their project for people with developmental disabilities. this was for octavia court. what we anticipate doing, we were going to provide a display case in the department on the first floor and start putting our rewards that we are getting in the cabinet, displaying them for public view. commissioner hechanova: could you hold it so that it can be well seen on the screen? and similarly the other one? >> the other o

there is a tjpa meeting right now that is happening, and depending on when that ends, he may be able to be here. but i see that ms. bose is here. so i would like to ask you to please come forward and to talk to us about this issue of overtime. because it is a pretty significant issue. again, in the last few years, we have seen pretty significant cuts to service in this system. in my view, to be able to restore a lot of those service cuts, we have to get our hands around this issue and tackle the issue of overtime. i think we owe that to the ridership. >> thank you. the director of transportation would have liked to been here, you're right. because he's committed to do what you suggested, looking at the overtime issue. it has been a significant issue for the mta. i know the new directors committed to not only looking at managing over time but assessing our budget impacts and holding our manager accountable. he has had several meetings already about the overtime within the agency. he has received a significant number of reports already. the mta has given him reports. he has requested m

i know what i am asking the board to do is to direct the architect for the tjpa, and i will be glad to serve on that facility, to evaluate the west and structure. i have in the endgame, it will allow for a graffiti pallette, just to think of the old exit ways they used to be in the old terminal. i also think of sleeping homeless people. just think of what has gone on in the past. it is not a good thing. i see really no value in it. i am interested in generating some board discussion about why we need that particular attribute in the terminal design. >> members? director metcalf: i am new to this board. is there anyone who can be speak -- who can speak to the question? >> staff has been meeting with the board, and bob can speak to this. >> let the record reflect, i have not met with staff on this. >> he has met with bob, i believe. >> thank you, directors. the structure in question is located at the west end of the facility and has two components, one of which is an emergency exit stairwell for exiting from the park and is part of the exit ring function affecting the capacity of the par

the investment by the public agencies through the tjpa gives us the opportunity to do this for the first time and add to fulfill several objectives. it creates huge new job capacity. our analysis has been showing that given the downtown build out that we have experienced over the last 30 years, we were getting to a place where we had a 10 or 20-year capacity for new office space in the downtown, and this plan helps us increase that capacity for several more years. it creates a dance band -- as i said, perhaps the densest district outside the country outside new york on the terminal that can take advantage of and support the investment made in the terminal. most importantly perhaps, it actually creates a revenue source for completing the transit center by creating the opprobrium that it is and to allow the development to help pay for that transportation infrastructure. it actually takes advantage -- excuse me -- it actually takes advantage not only of the previous parcels that were occupied by the embarcadero freeway, but it weaves together the extraordinary effort of bringing transportat

tjpa and the city, which permitted the transfer of state property -- to the city, and subsequently we are before you now with this exchange agreement that squares off the ownership of the private parcel and city parcel. it facilitates the city parcel through the redevelopment agency, a party to that agreement, to allow for the development of affordable housing in the future. so this is step one of a secondary step. the particulars of this exchange are 746 square feet going in one direction, 2278 square feet in the other direction. the benefit of that, a differential of approximately $69,637. those are funds owed to the city, providing more land than the seller is provided to us. therefore, it is not quite an even exchange, but the agreement calls for the payment to be made by the llc to the city. supervisor chu: thank you for the presentation. this item does not have a budget analyst's report, given the no impact to the general fund. why don't we open this item up to public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? item 12. seeing none, public c
