probably seen many times before, and it shows the 1.3 mile extension from the current terminal of the cal tran to the new transit center and you see on the graphic an outline of the downtown core and we saw a circle showing the area that we are going to see the benefits that maria was describing that are outlined in the report that you just received and the new neighborhood that the transit center is helping to create. and one thing to note, about this graphic is that it provides a visual illustration of how necessary the dtx is and if you look at the census bureau figures, if the half mile radius, there are 180,000 jobs compared to if you look at the half mile radius in the current terminus, 19,000 jobs and it just speaks to the needs and getting people where they need to go. and so, in terms of the purpose of the dtx, this is all, information that you are well aware of. and extending the cal train and enter city rail and the high speed rail into the new transit center and you see two numbers there, 1.3 miles and 1.95 miles and i will explain the difference between the two numbers, durin

fra signed off on the documents that we had signed off for both cal train and high speed rail. we did some construct engineers that showed you the future great separation. and we provided technical studys, for the sea, eirs work because the engineering studies are needed to back up what is going into that document. and obviously, the role of the design group designed everything with the plans that come in for the terminal to make certain that they were in and the space to put in and the signals and that we are working together jointly. the supplemental year, we signed that contract up and noticed the appropriation was noticed to the public in april and we had all firefighter the public scoping meeting in may. and the draft, ser, reis is expected to be out to the public, early next year. and we will be with the administrative draft probably for the first week in january and the final is expected to be complete, late in 2014. and possibly early 2015, depending on the sign-off out of washington, d.c.. this money is funded under fta and so we are now, working with both fta and fra o

and now, i don't think of p3 as the appropriate vehicle for every project. i advise, cal transseveral years ago on a 100 million straight resurfacing of i-80. and that was not the profile for a p3 project. a p3 project rather should be complicated, and in large, with challenges that can be identified and through ensentive and proven to the private sector and we think that it is a prime candidate for several sxraens number one, you have opening in 2017. and number two your environmental work for the extension is almost done and it should be done some time late in 2014 or early 2015. and number three, the 30 percent design work already done. and otherwise, this project is almost shovel ready, which is very important for the infrastructure development and project delivery and on top of that, i want to emphasize the strong support that they have seen here and discuss with the stake holders in the last month but evan agrees that there is a benefit in accelerating the project. and i want to say that again, this is the profile it is a tunnel and the water table issues and this i

and extending the cal train and enter city rail and the high speed rail into the new transit center and you see two numbers there, 1.3 miles and 1.95 miles and i will explain the difference between the two numbers, during the next slide and we want to enhance the connectivity of the cal trans and the other systems. and the other trail and the vehicle miles traveled. and the vehicle emissions and improved the air quality and the increase of property values that we were just discussing and it was also very important to us that the dtx be designed and constructed in a way that accommodates the city's future goals specifically reported to the interest that there is in eventually, bringing the tunnel that or the tracks that bring cal tran and high speed rail to the city are undergo on mission bay drive and 16th street and you will see in the present that ising that we have designed the dtx so that the goals be able to be accommodated when the funds are found. and so the new slide and this was referring earlier the difference between 1.3 miles which is the figure that you probably have heard

. >> and we should know within the next year, exactly what is and which vehicles they have. cal train is going to be getting new vehicles too and be working with both operators, so that we fit out the box finally that fits. and in addition, there will be an extension, if we get an environmentally cleared from the street to the other side of main street and this is at the request of the high speed rail and the federal rail road administration to accept 400 meter quarter of a mile long trains on a straight platform and no curved edge, that extension will meet that requirement and needless to say that we need to put the ventilation shops and you need to ventilate from both sides so no one gets trapped in the event of a fire. and having both that extension that we would put in an inner city bus facility in that area, to allow, more, spaces for the ac transit. as the time goes ahead. and to get with the city planning. and this is the five story planning and for the development and this is to make the proper use of that land. and this is the biggest part of phase two and, it starts at

of the is from the cal fresh benefits. and finally you can see that the big white slides there and this is roughly a third of all of the meals, that is needed for the low income population have no identifiable resource. and that does not mean that the people cannot eat those meals, but it does enable to say, that we are a long way from meeting the needs of the low income in our city. and when you total up, to the actual number of meals and what you see, and i am sorry on property jeks is the total missing meals is a total of 74 million meals every single year in san francisco. so can i just ask you, and thank you so much for cheering the task force 74 million meals per year if you calculated a dollar, 60 per meal that really megar amount that is allocated and about 100 million dollars. that is a good way of asking the question. >> i have to think about that for a little bit. and the researchers calculated it as the used actually the definition, of a cost of the meal at 2 $40. and that is just based on i believe the low cost

and they will then authorize us to make the agreements with spw and sfmta and if necessary, with cal transfor the inspection and other spefrtions throughout the project. and we, already have an agreement with ocii for the design services and there are several executing in 2008 and 2011 initially with the redevelopment agency and the new memo agreement does not expected to be signed today. and so the staff recommendation is to award the contract to the fcc engineers and not-to-exceed, 450,000 for the construction management services. >> okay. thank you. very much. >> do you have any questions on this item? >> public comment is open. >> (inaudible) with the folsom street and to the bay bridge, and this are moved to the light to it... and it was (inaudible) >> i am sorry, what? >> (inaudible), the driver, from san francisco to east bay. >> give me a second. sir? so the public comment works, we take your comment. two minutes. >> (inaudible). >> thank you, okay. so are there any other public comment at this time? >> okay, i would like to bring the project manager to answer the question. i

going to go into detail and i am going to run through them right now. >> the first is increase of the cal fresh participation and under the access and expanding the summer and after school sites and expanding the retail, outlet and restaurant available to cal fresh recipients and wic vendors. and under consumption, expanding and coordinating nutrition and education programs including through urban agriculture. the second row that you see, are opportunities for innovation. and these are innovations that address significant elements of the problem but that are nonetheless not being addressed elsewhere. these include a healthy food purchasing supplement and under the access, expanding the meals, and expanding healthy retail, and under consumption, taking a deep look and improving the availability of the kitchens. >> i think that the number was about 37,000 at that time, and now, it is 51,000, but could you talk about the increase and i know that it is still 50 percent don't access it, but could you talk about the increase of people that are on cal fresh now? >> i can see a little bit to that

they may actually qualify for the medi-cal expansion which means they may qualify for the no cost medi-cal. there are some additional options for this group. that is one consideration. on the last one is persons turn 65 with the medi-cal expansion, they will transition from 64 to 65. at age 64 you are under these new rules and once 65, you are under the different rules. there are a little bit eligibility requirements. when you go from 64-65 there is a transition there and some things that you may need help walking through to make sure that you are having equivalent benefits or getting the benefits that you are eligible going from 64 medi-cal expansion program to the 65 traditional medi-cal program. i do want to call out, there was a wonderful forum last week that the seniors with disability action for health, their website is. sd action.org. they listed all the materials for their website and heightened the awareness for consideration for persons with disabilities. so then i wanted to move a little bit as to when

somebody designed the bill projects and cal transadmits a good example of this and we wanted to budget problems and defer the maintenance and it can be expensive in the long run or all types of projects. and to illustrate what a p3 project looks like, we will show you the outline and what happens, at its core is that a p3 developer, could be as many as 30 firms in a joint venture group. but the p3 developer forms a limited liability corporation ration. and the people often ask me if, a private entity will have a higher interest rate charge, and a higher cost of capitol than a public agency. and i will tell you that the procedio parkway with the short term bank construction loan with the loans, short term and long term as well as the equity by the developers and the weighted average cost of the capitol, and less than 2.5 percent. and obviously they are very competitive with the tax exempt financing. now clearly there is a repayment obligation on the part of the project sponsor and that is the upper right-hand side to repay, i am sorry, below that to repay the stake holders to pja to flo

the cal trans, typically accepts, but the list here for the project sponsor, with the high water table and so one of the risk allocations could be if there is a leakage in the tunnel it would not be available for the train use with the performance based p3 process and they would not get the full compensation and that kind of an oversight or problem in the tunnel. the last thing is that in terms of the advantages is asset maintenance. somebody designed the bill projects and cal transadmits a good example of this and we wanted to budget problems and defer the maintenance and it can be expensive in the long run or all types of projects. and to illustrate what a p3 project looks like, we will show you the outline and what happens, at its core is that a p3 developer, could be as many as 30 firms in a joint venture group. but the p3 developer forms a limited liability corporation ration. and the people often ask me if, a private entity will have a higher interest rate charge, and a higher cost of capitol than a public agency. and i will tell you that the procedio parkway with the short term

and options, and ultimately, we need to have, the city and cal train high speed rail, and the ta, and all agreeing about the path forward and the only way that we are going to be really be sure that we are there if we are bringing those agencies so that we can hear from all of them. i really, it is so good, to have you here. i mean that i really want to make sure that we work out the issues like in this blended system are we have compatible stock and the high speed rail and cal train going to be the same platforms or not? none of this works, unless we get those details worked out. and so any way, and i am hoping that we can go into more depth. >> any other comments, director reiskin? >> i would concur with what he said and it is great to bring this forward now, and i think that with the phase one, we should shift the focus of this board to phase two, and when we reemphasize what scott noted with regard to last year's mlu, that this project extending cal train and high speed rail to the transbay center, is the top priority in the region along with the bart to san jose and i think that

the first one looked at cost drivers for cal pers. it turned out that osteoarthritis is one of the drivers and about a third of those costs come from hip or knee replacements. in addition, a deeper dive showed that from 2005, to 2008, there was a 40% increase in that cost for hip or knee replacements. one of the other studies we looked at, included looking at regional variations in cost. but we also saw not only those regional cost variation, but a lot of variation within region. i'll have some charts to show you that kind of variation towards the end. in addition, you know, we -- as andrea alluded to, a lot of the literature in the from house study suggested that the hospital cost had little to do with the quality of hip or knee wre placements. so as you go through the four requirements for revs based pricing you have variation of costs, cost driver that volume might increase quality and then the last one is that the procedures could be scheduled. so in january 1st, 2011, cal pers and blue cross implemented the reference price program

train and i am glad to see this discussion, opening up from the perspective of cal train riders, and the dtx and connecting to downtown, and all of these things considered. sooner is better. and looking at dates that we can see, is just really, fantastic thing, and with all of the things to consider. and the board members have brought up, and we are looking at and so on on the capacity issue, and agreeing on the blended system, was a great way that does impose the capacity limitations in doing

the first slide i have is how is medi-cal changing. one of the important things to note is that traditional medi-cal will exist as it does today with the current rule. an of january, the medi-cal will be expanded to childless adults. that is a very big change. some of the rules will be based on a concept called modified adjusted gross income which is aligned to your tax returns some modifications to it. the benefits of traditional medi-cal and expansion medi-cal. but i will keep with the terms traditional medi-cal and expanded medi-cal. the benefits package between traditional and expanded medi-cal will be the same. there is one note that i think is of importance to this group is that there is some state and federal policy pending regarding long-term support and services for the new expanded popping. it's definitely, i don't want to say a gray area but there is some waivers that are pending and we are still waiting for some policy clarification around there. so to kind of bring that full around, i think most people are familiar with the

i have a few questions and i see the data in here, and with regard to the cal fresh and the food stamp program, where you are seeing that do you have a sense of where the people are living if you are going to go to the out reach? >> thank you for that, question. and it is a very good question, and we are fortunate to have our director of cal fresh in the room. and ferrill, and leo has been a family member of the food task force and he is currently the co-chair and i think that he would the best to talk about that. >> yeah. >> great, thank you. >> there are the people that are not accessing cal fresh, it is the food stamp program known nationally as subpoena mental nutrition assistance program. and really, they probably represent, in many ways, the same people who are accessing cal fresh, but they could be immigrants, seniors, homeless, people, with disabilities, and people who may be don't want to go through the hassle factor of accessing cal fresh and the people who remoteness, and would have been a part of the city where they will have to transfer from one bus line to another bus lin

the cal defense tackles taveras jackson. it was 21-0 after one. next drive, the bears pull off the flea flicker. cal cuts the lead to 7. but usc answers back on a quick screen pass, this is a 57-yard touchdown much the cal defense gives up 499 yards. the trojans back up by 14. and then the cal special teams unit finds itself on the wrong side of history. altidore runs back a punt for a touchdown, second on the day. usc's third punt return for a score ties an ncaa record. the bears are now 1-9. >>> san jose state could be bowl eligible. a trickery fails, takes the pass back from crawley and he heaves it to jones for a touchdown. aztecs rally back and with 3.5 to go, a handoff and run it in. san jose trails by four. it was you will to sails to bring the spartans back but on fourth down he's returned and picked off by jj whitaker. what a heart breaker. san jose state blows a 14-point lead and loses 34-30. >>> tuscaloosa, alabama tied at 17 against 13 lsu. roll tide, alabama wins 21-13. >> give me the ball, give me the ball. go, go, go, go, go. >> jz

posterity from the contractor, of unsafe practices from cal osha that the department was not made aware of. those are handled for the specifically stated by the cal osha and there is a finding from all indications and as it relates to the contractor being hostile, and that is something that really is between the contractor and who hires them, along with the neighbors. that have the issues and there is nothing that the department can do from that perspective, to dictate that aspect of the issues that is being raised. but we can, again, say that it is that, the permit that the department did issue was to occupy, that portion of the right-of-way and usually the parking lane and in some cases the sidewalk, to provide, for the construction operation to the arborwell in this case, at two specific locations and we believe that the department really did nothing wrong in providing these permit and there has been no complaints until, you know, until it has to contact them and it was issued correctly, and you know, they had that appeal and so, that is with the board right now. we are able to answe
