he was one of the founding members of the tjpa board in 2001. he was on the board from 2001 to 2007. he decided to come back in 2018. i want to thank you very much for your service on the board. >> i do have the last two senses to say. you know i couldn't resist. actually three. regarding where we are on the building, there is an important thing that has to be done with respect to what director lipkin alluded to, which is we've got a document that everybody is on the same page. that has to be really established because we need to maximize the value of what's being discovered. we don't want to go through all of this and then in the course of litigation, have to essentially justify that this is really good stuff. this is the answer. we want to avoid that. i know that's the first thing. the second one with respect to the secondary things, everybody is concerned about, once you find out what the root cause is, there's a who that comes to that. once you get the who, then you can can find out where else who was working in the building. that will be so

i am with the tjpa senior construction management. to add to what he has just said, we were also in parallel with the preliminary findings. we have been able to start developing the fix at fremont. it is anticipated that loss will be presented to our board on thursday as well, along with various other analyses to show how much effort has been going in to this project since september 25th. so there's a lot to be presented , hopefully in the next couple of days. >> i don't know what will happen between now and 48 hours from now, but would you like to speculate for the transportation authority and for the public as to when these fixes will be effectuated? >> i can put framework on that to show you there are two paths that will happen. we will talk about the repair. everyone has been focused on the repair. that is part of the report. it will assist, once we have that confirmed, we will have the type of steel dimensions and they can procure that. once the peer review does all this information is being presented and they give us the green l

and the rest of the tjpa consultants. our fourth item is to look at the condition of the structure that is -- may have been impacted by the fractured girders. as bruce gibbons just mentioned, there was redistribution of load, so try to make sure that nothing else was damaged in consequence with those fractures, and then, to also look at the repair solution that is being proposed for the fremont street girders. and then, ultimately whatever's being proposed for first street, and we haven't seen that yet. in terms of where we're at, essentially, the first two items are essentially done. wi we've completed shoring review and has concurrence with what's been done. this has been done before material samples were done, where it's removed, what will be removed and what tests will be conducted at l.p.i. the third item, looking at the cause of failure, that's ongoing, so we're reviewing the work of l.p.i. i have to say so far we have general concurrence with the investigations that robert vecchio mentioned today. other impacted lo

congestion, also greenhouse gas emaission, so caltrain looks forward to continuing or collaboration with tjpa, with all the other agencies in the city, high speed rail, m.t.c., and all the other agencies that are involved in this process. thank you very much. >> clerk: we'll have jim patrick, followed by roland lebrun, and then bob finebaum. >> i'm jim patrick, patrick and company in san francisco. we talk about mitigating factors. may i suggest a mitigating factor, ka-ching, ka-ching, ka ching, how are we going to pay for this. i see we developed the first phase one with the federal government making loans. we're going to pay them with tax dollars. now we have another opportunity to rethink the way we did project a, if you will, which is the transit center. clearly, what we did ended up being delivered to us with some problems. we've articulated those clearly. what can we do to prevent those in the future. now, we have another project about to be approved. i suggest we get a public-private partnership and pay for this improvements with the revenues that will be generated. let the private con

so it was tjpa money, but it was different fund. with the temporary terminal removed, the cost has gone down about 40%. >> director reiskin, we'll continue to look at it, but we have no security on the roof, we have no security -- well, i shouldn't say no security. we have security on the roof, but not as much as before. our main security is on the ground floor, and the security plaiti operating center. it continues to be fully staff because we have cameras that we need to. and the ground facility continues to be fully staffed, as well. that's why you see continued costs, but it's an item we will it be to refine. at the next board meeting in january , we will bring to you how the budget is being developed for next fiscal year as well as the annual budget for this year. at this time, you have before you the quarterly financial report. do you have any questions on the report at all? if not, this concludes my report. thank you. >> i did have a question from earlier report. >> yeah. >> when you were talking about the phase one presumpti

if it is not going to be released immediately, that you empower mark and the tjpa staff to find funding elsewhere as a bridge loan to continue the engineering work. as i said, it is extraordinarily destructive, and it's a terrible idea to couple the two. i think perhaps naively, that our friends at salesforce may come through with a bridge loan, and i urge you to have mark to talk to salesforce and others, maybe boston properties, to come through with that money until the c.t.a. will release its funding so that the engineering can continue. thanks. >> clerk: all right. that concludes members of the public that wanted to comment on item 10. >> okay. >> motion to approve. >> motion. >> second? >> second. >> motion and multiple seconds. roll call. [roll call] >> clerk: that's seven ayes, and item ten is approved. go ahead and call your next item? >> yes, please. [agenda item read] >> director, if you have any questions on this item, ron alameda can answer them. >> director reiskin? >> just to the earlier point of accountability, i saw some of the reasons for the need of this extension, i -

sample locations and findings were proposed by the tjpa and the contractor and accepted by our independenteview panel. the samples were then shipped to l.p.i. laboratory in new york. the testing facility agreed upon by all parties, including the peer review panel. testing is underway to determine the cause of the fissures. we expect the results later this month to tell us the findings and determine a repair. after, we will did he right lane open a schedule for implementing the repair and opening the facility. i assure you, we will work as quickly as we can, but we must ensure a trusting and thorough investigation to win back the trust of the public at large. i would like to thank the peer review panel members for providing us with over sight, expertise, valuable input and for their expeditious reviews. later in the agenda, the tgpa construction manager will provide more construction details as part of the update on the transit center closure. moving to phase two in the downtown extension, we received the final comments from the federal transit administration for the supplemental environmen
