With a clean bill of health. And the hats are off to director zabaneh, dennis, ron, the review panels, and of course, the tjpa board of directors, yourselves, and everyone else involved with the review of the Transit Centers safety and the reopening including the mayors office. We appreciate the positive flow of information that began to be provided monday and tuesday, including the metropolitan Transportation Commissions independent Peer Review Panel, and the conclusion by thornton, thomas eddy incorporated that the structural framing is sound and the new Transit Center can be placed back in service. The staff report given by christine walked us through the initial overview of the communication plans which you just heard, which sounds like its right on target with key details and using some of the same effective tactics that worked last summer, including the ambassadors, the email blasts, social media, etc. From a retail perspective, the cac was very pleased very pleased with the commitment of kaiser medical offices to be located in the Transit Center. We feel like there is a growing underlying theme of health and worldness when you consider the fitness club, dental office, medical offices on the second floor and the walking path and yoga type activities on the rooftop and sounds like it will be a destination place for many. We appreciate marthas retail update and projections of when the Transit Center retail space will be fully lease and we appreciate the comprehensive security plans being put into place by sidney security team. And were confident that the security will be appropriate not only for the Transit Center, but also for the surrounding community as well. The cac did have questions regarding the significant cost of insurance from a Capital Budget perspective, but those were eloquently addressed by the chief financial officer, but gosh, those insurance rates are kind of high. From a construction update perspective, and the facts regarding the 47 weld points presented and the cac also appreciated the Additional Information regarding the 175 weld points. During the past eight months plus there has been a couple of requests regarding some type of structural safety monitoring system, and so of course, were pleased to hear that one is being installed. And just to wrap up in closing, the cac is ecstatic that the center is being reopened soon. Hats off to everybody and excited about the clean bill of health and happy that this facility will bring commuters, residents, and visitors of San Francisco and the entire bay area to the area. And we did have a couple of four, five closing thoughts and with the center being closed since last october, questions of clarity continue to be raised regarding who will bear the numerous costs of the closure and repairs stemming from the cracks in the steel plates. And were grateful for the update and the rooftop walking path that we have asked about in the past and sound like this will be a great improvement in repair. We are looking forward to further updates and details from the Peer Review Panels that assess numerous elements. And were looking forward to bus service through the Transit Center including Reliable Service to Treasure Island and the east bay. Lastly, looking forward to progress with the phase two. Thank you for your time. Any board member questions . Thank you for your report. Thank you. All right. Go ahead and call the next item. Yes, please.

The consent calendar is approved. Go ahead and call the first item on the regular calendar. 11 is the presentation by the metropolitan Transportation Commission Peer Review Panel on the temporary closure of the salesforce Transit Center. Before he starts, i want to thank m. T. C. And stephen wolf for helping with this process. M. T. C. Was invaluable and managed it very well to go to the to get to the point where we are. Executive director at m. T. C. The m. T. C. Appreciates the trust the mayor has put in our assignment, and we put the assignment seriously. We stated we would be expeditious and thorough and stated we have met the goals directly. There is remaining workk to done in terms of completing reports and addressing completely areas of interest they were identified by the Peer Review Panel. These are not necessary to support the j. P. A. Decision the tjpas decision to open the facility. M. T. C. Will follow through with the complete assignment including assisting the Peer Review Panel with providing input to industry. We believe there are several improvements to be made to the various code requirements to help the industry avoid problems like this that have contributed to the closure and affected other significant public work projects in the bay area and across the nation. We have been clear that our assignment does not address culpability and that that requires more thorough and independent review of the contract and the contract administrative efforts that are outside of the assignment. And we are also very supportive of the tjpas team and the contractors using the dispute review process outlined in the contract. For the ultimate resolution of that dispute. Finally, while i wanted to mention that the jpa has reimbursed the mtc for all the costs supporting the panel and the panel, the fhwa and m. T. C. Have provided their support services with no indication or no interest in reimbursement. We think that is part of our assignment and responsibility. And i do as mark mentioned want to thank steven wolf of m. T. C. Staff for his work in managing the work of the j. P. A. Team and the peer review. And he successfully navigated a very difficult path through at least three time zones an kept the progress going smoothly. And for their efforts in getting us to this point, mark provided incredible support and they were really dedicated to the problem and they worked all hours and commuted across the United States several times. And just a reminder that they all have other professional tudyes that are part of their duties that were part of their assignment, but they were extremely helpful and dr. Engleheart has published well in the engineering documents being provided. Thank you, chair nuru, for your support, and with that, i would like to have chair englehardt present his update and we will be available beyond that point. Thank you. Thank you, andy. Good morning, everyone. What i want to do is briefly review what the Peer Review Panel has done to get us to where today and the things that we have left to do before we can answer any questions. Listed on the slide here reason the Peer Review Panel that should be done and successfully completed before the center can be reopened. And with the review of the temporary shoring on fremont and first street. And with the sampling and testing plan that l. P. I. Executed. And the mechanics of the fracture. And that occurred last year that we agree the mechanics and the fourth item was looking at calling it the impact of the adjacent elements. With the time the fractures occurred. To reach the low dynamic effects and is a sudden failure with the thorough analysis and we concurred that there is no Collateral Damage from the fractures. The fifth item is agreeing on the repair strategy with fremont street and i will call it the retrofit for first street. That was all successfully navigated in our panel. We concurred with how that was designed and installed. And another one is time consuming and having looked thoroughly and to look at the Transit Center and the unique conditions at fremont street that led to the fractures and really heard today and many things were looked at and many spots were opened up. And it was a very, very exhaustive process and undertaken by tjpa, and thornton lpi and many discussions on the 47 different elements. And just mentioned the last of those were closed out a few days ago and since then we have been documenting our concurrence. So i am happy to say at this point our panel concurs with tjpa and the as a result that the structure is safe and ready for reuse. So we are quite pleased with the final items and slight documentation and one is l. P. I. Is finalizing the detailed report and the cause of failure and are going back and forth and no disagreement to feel the report should be thoroughly documented and is the key technical record of what happens and what happened here that will allow industry to consider improvements and so were just working with l. P. I. To make sure and another item mentioned today and is the reassessment of fatigue for the steel structure. Another design consideration with the start of the process and that can be done after the center reopens and takes decades to accumulate the final damage. And tjpa and the team will present a plan on how to assess the redesign criteria and the Peer Review Panel will concur or go back and forth until we concur on that plan. And let tjpa and the consultants execute that plan. The last thing is a to provide a report from the pan toll m. T. C. And to the public with the lessons lurned and the recommendations and things we think the industry and code writing committee should be considering to try to reduce the incident in the future. With that i could be glad to answer any questions. Questions from the Board Members . I would like to thank the Peer Review Team for the great work and great insight on this facility and the m. T. C. Also for leading the effort and to learn about the building and quite a few things that we have learn and are putting what is at track and appreciate that. Very much want to echo the thanks on behalf of the entire organization with the dedication and the m. T. C. And your work and very much appreciate how hard you work under the tight time lines and the sheer amount of embassy range of activity represented by the six tasks. Thank you so much, director zabaneh, for making this happen. All right. Go ahead and move to the next item. Adoption of fiscal year 2019 and 2020. Operating budget not to exceed 38,719,021. Good morning. I hope you enjoyed all 21 pages of the staff report and the pages that go along with it. Its great reading and very interesting to all of you. Today i am back to show and update you on the proposed final operating budget. Im sorry. I should have introduced myself. Erin roseman, chief financial officer. I assumed you all knew me, but i am sure there are a few who dont. And from the Capital Budget and the operating budget aseems we will be in full operation on july 1 and that that will be true from the last meeting in pay, a couple of changes to increase the revenue and expenses and i will go through how we got there. In the revenues, a decrease of 152,000 and c. B. D. Park payments with the reduction due to the proposed budget taking it down to their number. But since they have developmented their budget, we found out that theyve added an additional 300,000 that will be able to reimburse the more expenses. So to aprove of the expenses. And additionally we have increased the contribution from operators by total of 486. And that increases due to insurance increase on the expenditure side. All the other revenues remain unchanged, so it was 1 increase from the may draft budget to the proposed final. And in terms of the operation expenses, you can see the corresponding numbers and the revenues and expenses stayed in sync. And the additional 486,000 in insurance. To go to market to get quotes, we were told that the natural disasters and hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, the cost is being passed on in premium to new policies and so that was the main source of the cause. A 48 increase from last year. And 1. 5 million from 1 million. So in response to a question we got last month, you wanted to know about the cash flow. So i modelled a worse Case Scenario cash flow and if the revenues are lower and the timing of payments are slower and expenses are 20 higher. And we still are solvent and can make the money flow work. Awe thank you. Youre welcome. And providing a threeyear operating project. And on this slide, you will see that the bars are revenue and the lines are the orange line is expenses. The blue section of the bar are revenues that are operating revenues. The projection reserve balance and you can see the revenue and expenses match. This is concerning for some and the operators increases significantly so that shift and drawing down the up front neighboring rights. So in 1920 and and the contract and picks up back up in 2022. That is the measure major shift in revenue distribution there. And notice that 2021 the total revenue and expenses will decrease a touch and that is due to the leasing commissions up front payment and done in 1920 and so that expense goes down. The red line is what. And the financial policy and the goal for reserves. And you can see how it compares to the yellow section. So for the Capital Budget, our Capital Budget assumes phase two is fully funded. And theres only one modification for the 1920 Capital Budget, and its weve gone up a Million Dollars from 99 million overall to 100 million. And that is the revenue has been increased in the cfd bonds from 62 million up to 63 million. And heres a more detailed itemization of the revenues that we expect for the capital. And in terms of expenses, the extra Million Dollars is shown in Construction Management and where it went from 2. 2 to 3. 2, but still a small percentage increase of the overall Capital Budget. And to kind of refamiliarize you with the expenses in capital, there is tjpa admin, salary benefits, professional Services Including legal and Financial Advisors and legislation and such. And professional services geared towards the construction part. And so we have pmpc, the downtown extension. And the Construction Management cost and the Administrative Task and closing out the phase one. And finishing the punch list and getting us through december of this year. And a little bit of a contract extension for them to get us through the final closeout of phase one. And then the construction of 64 million and the majority of that is the still the final close out and then the improvements. And were requesting 31. 2 million draw with the program we serve. And the reserve and if the requests are approved. And there was a table that shows you where the Program Draws are immediated in comparison to the budget. And then a history of all the Program Reserve draws that we have had so far. And are there any questions . Director reiskin . I did read the report and largely enjoyed it with a few exceptions. Of course. One was i share the cacs dismay with the insurance jump. It is nearly a 50 increase which i guess not surprised were experiencing some of the same, but that is unfortunate. With regard to the discussion that we had last time about use of reserved and contingency and thank you for addressing that and the report. I still think that the logic of what or my logic still holds in terms of matching the amount of contingency with the amount of reserve on the revenue and expenditure side. I saw that the cfd revenues and the insurance is what it is. And cars with regard to rm3 revenues. And so what i would recommend is that we reduce the amount of contingency on the expenditure side down to the amount of reserve we are using on the operating side. Were proposing 3. 4 million of con sdwrin si on the ex contingency on the expenditure side in the operating budgets, and 2. 0 use of the reserve, so i would recommend on the expenditure side we reduce to 2. 0 which would be a redestruction of 1. 38 million on the expenditure side. I would recommend we reduce the operating contributions by that same amount. Because basically what is in the proposed budget is were funding a contingency in part from the reserves and in part from up front operator contributions. So what in effect you are asking the operators to do is reduce their budgets and the services that they are providing to the public. In the event that tjpa needs more money at some point. I would suggest as i did last time that should we get into a position that tjpa needs more money next year, that come back to the board and at that point seek funding from the operators or maybe there will be other sources at that time. So i will remake that ask, i guess, in this case in terms of a motion to amend the proposal. Director reiskin, i thought we did that. I thought once we go 50 , and deplete the contingency, we will ask the board for approval. So planning to come back to ask for that, then what i am asking is that you dont ask us to pull the money out of our operations in advance. I see. As long as so you are prebudgeting it. Yes, because they think we need it. I am all for the come back to the board should bit needed. What i am not supporting is the budgeting for it in advance. I get that you are trying to be conservative and having a large contingency and i would suggest it is even more conservative to live within the budget and then come back to the board should the budget prove to be inadequate for whatever reasons. So i would make that motion. I will say on the side that i didnt appreciate the fiscal 2021 impact of not having the naming rights, so we probably dont have time to do this now, but an alternative would be to leave the operator contributions as they are, but reduce the naming rights revenue by the 1. 38 instead. And reserve that for fiscal 2021. That would be another alternative. Chair Mohammed Nuru that would smooth things for the operators and leave the operators contributions as proposed. I dont know, looking at my fellow contributor i would support your second proposal. I, too, am concerned about the out year. And candidly, we have not afford it. We are not a billion dollar agency. Well, we cant all be. I will retract my motion and i will make a motion that we reduce the contingency on the expenditure side by 1. 381 that amount. 1,381,700 on the expenditure side and reduce the use of naming rights by the same amount on the revenue side moving that into the fiscal 2021 to help move the operator contributions. An ill second that motion. And second the motion that you wanted to make to the director and normalizing the naming rights . That is a very important point. And to reduce and to move that amount and one other community and the last slide in terms of use of contingencies and the same discussion with ron earlier. With the number of things that look like they anybody recoverable expenses. We still want the pressure to be on staff and this is really kind of back to the construction folks to do whatever we can do to cover the construction expenses that many appear to be related to the closure. The reason that ron showed the e. S. E. And we wanted to be transparentally clear that we have included everything knowing that we intend to recuperate some of that and bring down the Program Reserve. Awe thank you. Yes, director sesay. Thank you so much for the nice read. I, too, read it and appreciate and echo director reiskins comments. I am not as familiar with the rm2 and 3, but you seem to imply that its possible and they will get it this year. And i am thinking what the structure is. And on the city side for revenues and projected and uncertainty on reserve. What is the internal process in terms of managing that if it doesnt come . And secondly, i am curious about the Community Benefit and wanting to understand what led to that reduction. Is it projected assessments being lower . Is it a concession that you agreed to . So the c. B. D. Is supposed to fund that and i am concerned if there are i am wondering if there are concerns that it wont be a reliable stream and tjpa potentially will have to subsidize. I know its a lot. Okay. So on the c. B. D. , their proposed budget had the 1. 6 million number in there. When i did the draft budget, i didnt know the exact proposed budget. Okay. Then i knew what it was and matched it. Once they adopted their budget on monday, then they actually increased the number. So there was a little bit of opportunity to get some more. So its kind of a mismatch in now that we now more information. The second question is the rm3 money. In the cash flow projection, i am assuming that i didnt get the rm3 money until the last month of the fiscal year so that we could still manage and would be all right without it and we could use our operating reserves or whatever we needed to throughout the rest of the beginning part of the year until they came in. And then if it didnt come until even the next fiscal year, but another month later, we could still be fine with it another month. And then you had a question about the c. B. D. Payment. So i think by formula, they have to they agree to 79 of the expenses. Our expenses from what we project would be higher than their 79 , and i believe the assessments are somewhat of a surplus in their budget and in their reserve that should be able to help us smooth for the out years. A question from director lipkin. I have a few comments and question. First, a question from director reiskin and director hursh and it seems like the path on the contingency would be if it becomes necessary, you will come back with a Budget Amendment at that point explaining what need is, but it seems to make sense to reallocate some of the naming rights on kind of the similar vein where you showed that slide. Is there a way to also look at whether its tapping into the reserves or through another method, tapping into sort of the reduction that we see in, i think, 2022 and 2023 and basically smoothing out that curve for the operators a little bit more . I think it was on slide 7 in your presentation if you want to put that one up. So when we kind of look out at those number, they start to really shrink afterwards. So besides bringing that amount into this year, can we spread the remaining cost out a little bit by tapping into whether its the reserves or Something Else to make the ride for our friends a little bit easier over the next few years . At least something to consider. In 202122 and 2223, the increase in revenue is generally the Retail Revenue t sponsorships, the advertising, because we are using initial projections. We assume things will be booming then, but i cant necessarily transfer those over to earlier years. But i completely understand what you are saying about trying to smoothout the other part. You cant transfer the revenues that you havent received obviously. And maybe the idea of considering this is more medium term Financial Planning is whether its prudent and if we are depending on the confidence that we have in the revenues at this time and obviously projecting a couple of years, so subject to change and that. That these are reserves or other methods that then get replenished. When the additional revenues come in, and then we have a twoyear budgets process that we look at in this way that its a little bit more predictable because i am sure for you guys who have budgets to manage on a daytoday basis, spikes are a problem versus a smoother curve would probably be helpful. Thats just one thing for kind of medium term congratulation. And i think on slide 6, it would be good to explain this as sort of the worst Case Assumptions that you are showing. I think it would be great to have that somewhere noted on the slide just because you gave us that verbal presentation, but in case somebody is looking at this and this has its really close in some months. And understanding that this is a sort of worse case gives confidence if things things shouldnt get worse than this basically. That would be helpful. And then on the last thing i had is on slides 12 and 13 and this gets into the conversation around rm3 and other things. It would be helpful to understand which pieces of work are sort of subject to appropriations or funds that have to come in from others and which would be sort of base level of things we have to do versus things we will take on should funding become available. And i know theres at least a couple of things in that second bucket that we would like to do. We think they are prudent and should be budgeting for them, and understanding that they require funding from whether its rm3 or somewhere else and for us to actually take that on. It would be helpful to have those distinctions made because that gives us a little bit of ability to understand. Were definitely signing up for this and might be signing up to the other things. Chair Mohammed Nuru if you can go back to the first slide on the revenue. Other than that, i think we are good to go. Okay. No members of the public willing to comment, all right. [roll call] that is six time mac. Item 12 is approved. Do we need to vote separately on the underlying item . The action was to approve the action as amended. Thank you. Im just making sure. Thank you. We will gloat go into closed session. There is no members of we are now back in open session. In regards to eight and 16, theres nothing to report. Very good. Thank you very much. Meeting is adjourned to a new date in july that will be a different delay due to conflicts thank you. Everyone have a great day. Good morning, everyone how are you all . So, welcome.

We know that we have a lot of challenges in San Francisco. We have far too many People Living on our streets. We have far too many challenges with housing and housing affordability. I know our Small Businesses are struggling. The city is finally making the kinds of investments that i hope will make a difference in your everyday lives as you work in this great city. I was born and raised here and i grew up in public housing. You know, my grandmother, when we were kids, she would make us go out and clean up. She would always say clean it up. Ike like mama, why, would want to clean up. You know how kids are. We would should i look, its our responsibility to keep our community clean. Now here, take this bucket and put water and soap and clean up. You know, at the time as a kid you are like i dont want to do this but then, as you get older, its just a part of who you are. I find myself doing it in my community, doing it where i used to work at the African American culture complex and really feeling good about the investment that ive made and also the example that ive set for other young people to be better stewards of San Francisco. So what you all are out there are doing is not just picking up trash and erasing graffiti and painting, you all are stewards for San Francisco. You are taking care of the city. You all are showing how much you love San Francisco and other people when they see you doing what you are doing, theyre less likely to drop that trash on the ground and actually take it to the trash can. It does make a difference. So i want to thank all of you and all the Community Business districts and the people who are out there every single day. I especially want to thank the department of public works and the many thousands of employees because they are out on the streets everyday. Downtown street teams and so many other folks trying to keep San Francisco clean, green and beautiful. I love our city. I know you all love this city.

Thats what you are demonstrating today. I want to thank mayor breed for the investments shows made in making our streets cleaner. If you look out there, theres things we can do. We need more trash cans on our streets, we need more bathrooms that are open for longer hours, and we need more street cleaning and deep cleaning and so what you are doing today is not just demonstrating to your residents that you care, you are demonstrating to us, the city, that you care and we need to do more as well.

Before we close out, were going to do a group picture. Stay where you are. No one move. Just stay still for a minute and well take a group photo. [ ] homelessness in San Francisco is considered the number 1 issue by most people who live here, and it doesnt just affect Neighbors Without a home, it affects all of us. Is real way to combat that is to Work Together. It will take city departments and nonprofit providers and volunteers and companies and Community Members all coming together. [ ] the product homeless connect Community Day of Service Began about 15 years ago, and we have had 73 of them. What we do is we host and expostyle event, and we were the very force organization to do this but it worked so well that 250 other cities across the globe host their own. Theres over 120 Service Providers at the event today, and they range anywhere from hygiene kits provided by the basics, 5 to prescription glasses and reading glasses, hearing tests, pet sitting, showers, medical services, flu shots, dental care, groceries, so many phenomenal Service Providers, and what makes it so unique is we ask that they provide that Service Today here it is an actual, tangible Service People can leave with it. I am with the hearing and Speech Center of northern california, and we provide a variety of Services Including audiology, counselling, outreach, education, today we actually just do screening to see if someone has hearing loss. To follow updates when they come into the Speech Center and we do a full diagnostic hearing test, and we start the process of taking an impression of their year, deciding on which hearing aid will work best for them. If they have a smart phone, we make sure we get a smart phone that can connect to it, so they can stream phone calls, or use it for any other services that they need. San francisco has phenomenal social services to support people at risk of becoming homeless, are already experience and homelessness, but it is confusing, and there is a lot of waste. Bringing everyone into the same space not only saves an average of 20 hours a week in navigating the system and waiting in line for different areas, it helps them talk, so if you need to sign up for medical, what you need identification, you dont have to go to sacramento or wait in line at a d. M. V. , you go across the hall to the d. M. V. To get your i. D. Today we will probably see around 30 people, and averaging about 20 of this people coming to cs for followup service. For a participant to qualify for services, all they need to do is come to the event. We have a lot of people who are at risk of homelessness but not yet experiencing it, that todays event can ensure they stay house. Many people coming to the event are here to receive one specific need such as signing up for medical or learning about d. M. V. Services, and then of course, most of the people who are tender people experiencing homelessness today. I am the representative for the volunteer central. We are the group that checks and all the volunteers that comment participate each day. On a typical day of service, we have anywhere between 40500 volunteers that we, back in, they get tshirts, nametags, maps, and all the information they need to have a successful event. Our participant escorts are a core part of our group, and they are the ones who help participants flow from the Different Service areas and help them find the Different Services that they needs. One of the ways we work closely with the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing is by working with Homeless Outreach teams. They come here, and these are the people that help you get into navigation centers, help you get into shortterm shelter, and talk about housing1st policies. We also work very closely with the department of Public Health to provide a lot of our services. We have all types of things that volunteers deal do on a day of service. We have folks that help give out lunches in the cafe, we have folks who help with the check in, getting people when they arrive, making sure that they find the services that they need to, we have folks who help in the check out process, to make sure they get their food bag, bag of groceries, together hygiene kit, and whatever they need to. Volunteers, i think of them as the secret sauce that just makes the whole process works smoothly. Participants are encouraged and welcomed to come with their pets. We do have a pet daycare, so if they want to have their pets stay in the daycare area while they navigate the event, they are welcome to do that, will we also understand some people are more comfortable having their pets with them. They can bring them into the event as well. We also typically offer veterinary services, and it can be a real detriment to coming into an event like this. We also have a bag check. You dont have to worry about your belongings getting lost, especially when that is all that you have with you. We get connected with people who knew they had hearing loss, but they didnt know they could get services to help them with their hearing loss picks and we are getting connected with each other to make sure they are getting supported. Our next event will be in march, we dont yet have a date set. We typically sap set it six weeks out. The way to volunteer is to follow our newsletter, follow us on social media, or just visit our website. We always announce it right away, and you can register very easily online. A lot of people see folks experience a homelessness in the city, and they dont know how they can help, and defence like this gives a whole bunch of people a lot of good opportunities to give back and be supported.
