the start-up construction will begin in 2012. as you're probably aware that following the board's approval of the proposed m.t.a. part fast track grant, it was forwarded to the board of supervisors. they recommended that they recommence negotiations to establish reimbursement rate that are tied to inflation rather than bart fair increases. so what you approved was in your agreement was a -- not to ex-er seed an amount that are tied to the rate of inflation and ridership increases that do not exceed 5% annually or a mutually agreed upon amount. so you did have a cap, however the budget analysts feels there's more work that can be done in terms of negotiations. on may 5th, they tabled that item and asked that m.t.a. staff meet back with the bart staff to try and renegotiate the agreement. given that dre direction we have had talks with the bart staff and we will bring to you any adjustments that may be made to that agreement. we will be working with bart to try and resolve this issue. mr. chairman, that concludes my executive director's report. >> ok. >> oh, excuse me. i'm sorry. we took some things out of order he

the next item i need to brief you on is related to the board of supervisors who last year requested that management audits of each m.t.a. division be conducted. the first of these audits was related to our sustainable streets division, and i'd like to ask the director of the sustainable streets division to give you a quick briefing on the audit. vaughn? >> good afternoon. good afternoon, mr. chair, members of the board. as mr. ford has mentioned, a management audit of each of the sfmta divisions was requested by the board of supervisors in 2010. mr. ford and his office and also the city services auditor from the controllers selected sustainable streets as the first of the divisions to be audited. to be followed each year by another division within the agency. the audit set out to assess five areas. one, how well the division maintains the city and county of san francisco's traffic markings, signals, and signs. compliance with major contracts with basic city contracts. whether the division prevents scheduling conflicts. and whether the division's off street model is advantageous to the city. finally, the adequacy of the

of the summer going into the fall, later this year, we will be circulating after we receive public comment. we at m.t.a. will recommend a preferred alternative for authority board and board adoption and work on the preferred alternative. the final design shown and the certification of the e.i.r. shown as the next phase depending on the corridor, geary is a much longer corridor so it will take longer time to get to implementationtation but would like to have service up and running by the end of 2015. thank you. >> good evening, commissioners. if i could have the overhead, please. as we did for cathedral, i'm going to go through the circulation plan -- briefly, circulation for the buildout is proposed to be as follows. patients would be dropped off and picked up from a new loading zone and with improvements. parking below the medical office building will be accessed from around the corner. we have the intersection in the top left corner, and the new hospital is slightly east of the street along chavez and medical building is on the corner of valencia. >> as i was mentioning, thening tering and exiting would necessitate the moving slightly southward of the existin

the m.t.a.'s over time. this has been a subject of much discussion over the past few weeks, both at the board of supervisors and in the media and our own policy and governance committee has also expressed interest as it relates to overtime in the agency, and our current budget. i would like to point out that over time is one of literally hundreds of budget line items for this agency, and with a budget of nearly $800 million, or overtime currently appears to be in the approximately $50 million range in terms of the end of this fiscal year. what i would like to do is have soni bose -- sonalui bose , and give your presentation. just want to point out, and in terms of our usage of overtime, particularly in transit operation, our system clearly is labor intensive. 80% of our operation -- 80% of our budget is related to salaries and operations. particularly as it relates to transit operations, we need to have an operator on every vehicle. it is not something that can be -- if someone does not show up to work or is for whatever reason unable to perform their duties, there's not a way to share that work load. we ha

in the agency, executive director ordinance that's going to affect the board supervisors and some of the key considerations that drive our overtime and then the management strategy. so here's the m.t.a.-wide overtime picture for this fiscal year for the first nine months. the top left-hand pie chart shows you the trends division accounts for 90% of the division and as you can see our annual budget was $33.3 million an we've spent $33.6 million in the first nine months and we're expected to hit $51 million inover time for the year. i should have said, the agency has always had a significant amount of overtime and we've never budgeted for the right level of overtime since i've been here for a variety of reasons. this is a year by year comparison. if you look at the first nine months of the fiscal year for 2009, 2010, and 2011, you can see we're about $4 million higher than last year in the first nine months and the bottom right chart of the bar chart is what i want to point out specifically. in fiscal year 2010, which is a light pink bar, we tried to increase our overtime budget because we knew this is -- this is a lock standing issue. unfortunately, we had to bring the budget back do
