Why dont you call the rolling othe roll onthat. roll call . We have final approval. Next item, please. Item 3. Remember adoption of rail Program Manager job classification and revised Organization Chart. Good morning. We convene once a year on personnel related items. Last december i brought before you staff reorganization plan with updated Job Description and reclassification of six positions and asked for a Salary Structure increase as well for all staff except for executive director. October 2018 the board had asked staff to convene a Disciplinary Panel review to review the current and alternative oversight project delivery of the downtown rail extension. This board received the final report in november 2019. One of the directions was to help the tjpa reset the project working in drawing upon the transportation agencies in the bay area. We are seeking a new job position to oversee and coordinate the project Development Efforts on rail projects as we will discuss in the work program in the next item. After a short transition period for this position, we anticipate that we would reduce reliance on an call engineering for the rail project management oversight. In terms of the title of this position we would like to total this position as the rail Program Manager, and increase the agency from 46 pull time positions to 47 fulltime positions. In terms of fiscal impact. We anticipate recruitment in january to bring this person on around april and i would anticipate a budget increase of 68,905 in the next fiscal year. We would anticipate total increase of 275,620 for this position including salary and benefits. Are there questions or comments procolleagues . Relative to the notion of transition from on call nonstaff members to an in house position, what do you think that period of transition looks like . What period of time are we talking about where we pay for two rather than one . Thank you, chair peskin. We have had the benefit of the long time rail consultant for over 10 years. I think that we need louise to finish off the oversight of central subway. There after i think with the new rail Program Manager we would shift the new responsibilities to the new person. In any case, we will be assisted by a team of on call consultants that these people would help us manage. On the one hand, i am a big fan of independent oversight that can be brought by the ta by and through the staff or consultants. On the other hand, one of the findings of the expert paneling has to do with collaboration between a number of agencies and ultimately in the structure that the government structure they recommended hiring an independent party. I want to understand how this rail position works with that independent party and whether or not this should come out of solely out of our funds or whether or not it should also receive some of the other agencies that are interested or vested in dtx or what we have a working title called dtx . It is the dtx program of projects i should clarify. Our wholesales tax program is transit programming is twothirds is transit. The oversight functions that he performs in addition to the dtx include the municipal they lrv or capital program. This person would really need to work on ta assignments. On a particular capital projector program of projects like the dtx to include penn avenue and the Second Crossing and the second tube planning with the capital corridor. That whole set of projects including the Business Plan going south would be needed. Iit would be hard to ask other agencies to pay into that even though they benefit from that. That is part of the coordination roll for San Francisco on rail matters. I think we will ask for contributions from the other agencies to support the dtx rail program and projects. We each need to staff up as pointed out not only by the peer review but the peer review that Everyone Needs to staff up on rail. The staffs is thin. Now we see the renaissance of an interest in pursuing the agenda. We need to build capacity. Mr. Wil labr un. Good morning, supervisors. Thank you for taking care of this issue, which is long overdue. It seems to me with what is happening with the central subway and involving the project from last 10 years expanding that contract for another two years is not the smartest thing to do. With regard to costs, if you terminate these contracts instead of expanding two years, you are probably looking at a saving of 2 million. Now with regard to the proposal of the position, this is so important to the city of San Francisco that i think that the position of rail manager eventually reporting the deputy of the Capital Projects is not appropriate. What you want is a new division reporting directly to deal purely with rail. The tube, the pennsylvania expense and dtx and future of the central subway. That individual should be drawing it from all other branches and actually build up a group of five or six people who basically will continue with the existing responsibilities but really start getting on board as far as rail is concerned. That is my two cents. Thank you very much. Any other members of public to testify on item three . Public comment is closed. I hear what you are saying. I think you have to walk before you can run. Getting all of these different organizations to cooperate is our imperative. Motion to adopt the job classification and revised Organization Chart made by commissioner mandelman . If no objection same house same call. Could you please read the next item. Item one go into closed session evaluation of Public Employee performance. This is an action item. Any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. We will convene in closed session. We will reconvene in open session. Mr. Clerk, could you please read item 5. Item 5. Remember adoption every viced salary struck turand setting the annual compensation. We called item 4. Personnel committee met to discuss the performance evaluation and remember approval of the executive directors performance objectors. His work has been exceptionally good. The Personnel Committee recommended a Salary Structure range of 217,893,000 to 304,712, a 15 increase in the salary range. And amended the employment agreement to extend from december 31, 2019 to 2222 and increase the compensation in 2020 in the amount of a 5 increase results in a salary of 267,417. Is there a motion to recommend adoption of the revised Salary Structure amended the existing employment agreement and setting the compensation for the executive director . I should also note the Personnel Committee requested that did 15,000 of unspent professional Development Money from 2019 be rolled over to 2020. The other funds that were for relocation in the previous contract have been used and will not be renewed. So is there a motion to that effect . Made by commissioner ronen. Can we take that same house same call . Any introduction of new items . Seeing none. Any general Public Comment. Seeing none the Personnel Committee of the Transportation Committee is adjourned.
