The local, state and federal levels and encouraging them to take full advantage of that assistance. We are reviewing the lease terms and very mindful of the significant Financial Hardship our tenants are experiencing. Once the shelterinplace is lifted we will present to the board for consideration our response to tenants request for relief. We understand there will be challenging times ahead for public agencies such as ours and Small Businesses. Our goal is to be fair to our tenants and protect the publics best interest and investment in the Transit Center. We want to be consistent with other agencies such as the boydf San Francisco.

Item 7, presentation of the budget outlook for tjpas fiscal year 202021 operating Capital Budget. The chief Financial Officer will be presenting. Good morning. I hope everyone can hear me okay. In your packet today you have the budget outlook for fiscal year 2021. Mark has stolen some of my thunder for the things included. In terms of operational budget we expect some revenue declines as a result of the covid19 impact. We would expect retail leasing and advertising to be decreased approximately 50 from the projection that we had given you for the preliminary budget in january. We would expect expenses to be currently projected as flat. We will work to reduce the expenses to match the revenue reduction. We are working closely with m. T. C. And federal stimulus plans and with some of your staff to come up with the best solution for the revenue loss and adjusting of expenses. In terms of debt budget we expect a 15. 000000 debt Service Based on success of bond sales we anticipated for may and june. For the Capital Budget we expect phase one to continue to closeout with legal fees as the main source for phase one. In phase two capital we expect advancing preliminary engineering to 30 while adding an additional position which would be the program director. Lastly, tenant improvements, we would continue to have that budgeted at 35. 5 million. We expect there will be some adjustments based on the redistribution mep and construction delays from the covid19 impact. Do you have any questions on the budget outlook . Madam secretary, do we have any comments from fellow directors on this item . Madam chair, i do see one hand. Vice chair gee would like to address you. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for the update. Given the Public Health emergency and the unknown dates when things will be changed i suspect it might be a change, and given the fiscal years dont change. Perhaps running a couple scenarios might be better than trying to do a budget update. What happens if x or y happens. You get a brackett what the budget impacts might look like. I wish i was good enough to tell everybody when the Public Health emergency was going to be over. I am not that good. Perhaps running some scenarios might be a better strategy given be what we are confronted with at this time. Absolutely, yes. For the may draft budget we would have different scenarios for you to review. Thank you. Madam chair, it doesnt appear that any other Board Members have indicate by racing their hands. I know they can hear us and it doesnt look like there are any other comments from the Board Members. I do have a question about the reserves. In the staff memo you identified the funds that we have and you talked about the o and m reserve that was 25 but it has since dropped. Can you tell us what that is . You identified the emergency reserves as having 500,000. I dont know what is in the fiscal reserve. In the osm reserve, the policy has a goal of 25 . However, it hasnt been funded at 25 in the last two fiscal years. It is funded at about 7 of the overall operating expenses. In our last Board Meeting we did a budget adjustment to allow us to use 1. 6 million of the osm reserve for rm3 revenue that we anticipated to receive this year. The reserve currently is about 3. 5 . As we budget throughout the next fiscal years if there is additional revenue or opportunities that are available for operations, then we would work to replenish it to increase it back to the goal amount, but it is part of the boards decision whenever we adopt the fiscal year budget on the level every serves. The fiscal reserve has about 25 million in it. It would be only for capital at this point, and based on our previous Board Meeting we made the budget adjustment we anticipate moneys coming into the reserves from our bond sales, but those dollars are not available until we are successful with that. As of today there are very few dollars in the o and m reserve or physician another or in the fiscal reserve that are available to help in this situation. Thank you. If there are no other Board Members wishes to speak on this item, i will ask the secretary if any members of the public would like to speak. Thank you, madam chair. I am checking now to see if we have callers lined up for this item. Members of the public already dialed in and wish to speak on this item would press 1 and 0 to get into the cue. Members of the public that would wish to provide Public Comment would calm 1 888 3634735 and enter the passcode followed by the pound sign and pound sign again. When prompt would they would press 1 and 0 to be placed in the cue. At this time there is no members of the public cued up to address you under this item 7, the budget outlook. Giving them another moment before we move on and call your next item. Seeing none, madam chair, i will call your next item. Item 8. Authorizing the executive director to execute professional Services Agreements for Financial Consulting services with a bench of two firms, nwc partners and rock Fleet Financial Services to provide services in their respective areas on asneeded basis for a fiveyear term with a two year option to extend as long as the total compensation does not exceed 7. 1 million. Aaron rose will present this item. Thank you. You have in front of you two separate contracts under Financial Consulting bench for a wc nwc partners and rock fleet. They would provide Grant Management, administration support, Financial Planning and federal reporting. We have a number of grants that require quarterly, semiannual and annual reporting. These contractors would help with the financial Grant Management annual grant reporting. The Financial Planning for phase two and phase one to help us provide the amount of resources we need to move the project forward. Additionally, they would provide finance staff and any other federal loan reporting. We generally have annual and semiannual reporting for those. These two companies and their different areas would provide that support. I would be happy to take questions if you have any. Madam chair, you have director lipkin who wants to comment on the item. If thank you for the report and the evaluation. I looked through it. The only thing i want to ask about is you mentioned the two firms have some different expertise and some would do more of one type of work than the other. Not that we need to make those decisions today ahead of the award. Can you give us a sense what you expect or where the different strengths lie for the two firms . Sure. One of the firms, nwc partners has a good handle on San Francisco and the oakland bay area. Federal, state and local planning processes and granting processes so they are very connected to the m. T. C. , all of the planning groups and workshops. They have a local focus to help us achieve local and state grants. The other company rock fleet has greater ties to the federal government with expertise in loans and risk loans and federal stimulus and programs. Those are some of the biggest distinguishing factors between the two. We felt like there was a coordinated effort for all grants. As you have one firm more connected to the federal government and one firm more connected to the local government. Thank you. Madam chair, there are currently no other members that have raised their hand. I will move the item. Do we want to open up to the public on this . Yes.

Consider authorizing the tjpa board chair to execute the San Francisco peninsula rail Program Memorandum of understanding with the metropolitan Transportation Commission and the San Francisco county Transportation Authority, the caltrain board, california high speed rail short and the city and county of San Francisco mayors office. To implement the new structure to support the efforts of the development of downtown rail extension and make direct recommendations to the tjpa board regarding a set of work program activities. Madam chair, i believe executive director will be presenting this item. Madam chair, i am going to take that from you so i can download. I can upload the file. We can see it there. Directors, this is a similar presentation to what i shared with you at the last Board Meeting in march. This is a fixed body agreement with the tjpa and the metropolitan Transportation Commission, the San Francisco county Transportation Authority, caltrain, highspeed rail and city and county of San Francisco. The purpose of this agreement is to support the tjpa in advancing phase two, downtown rail extension in the most efficient manner in full collaboration with the region. The goal is to fully fund downtown extension and bring it to shovel ready status in two to three years. By way of background, in july 2018, the San Francisco county Transportation Authority approved allocation of approximately 10 million to advance the phase two downtown extension the 30 design. This was based on a plan to be developed to advance downtown extension to be shovrel ready two to three years from that time. In october 2018 they suspended after the discovery of fissures in the girders on fremont street and closures of the Transit Center. The San Francisco county resolution suspended the funds included two conditions. First condition was for the San Francisco county Controllers Office to conduct an evaluation of the management and delivery of the Sales Force Transit Center project. The second condition was for the San Francisco county staff to perform a review of alternate oversight and governance models for the management and delivery of the downtown extension project. In late 2018 they initiated a peer review of oversight and governance models for the management and delivery of downtown extension. At the same time the tgp board requested peer review by the American PublicTransportation Association of best practices on how to deliver the downtown extension in the most efficient and effective manner. It was conducted by public leaders with proven experience in managing and delivering large complex indiana from structure project infrastructure. It included the manager with the transportation district, the Program Manager with la metro, chief engineer with the massachusetts Transportation Authority, Senior Vice President of rail and transit local practice leader, and the Vice President of Technical Services and innovation. The pier we view was completed april 2019 and presented at the may 2019 Board Meeting. Recommendations included two main items for the board to consider. First was consider engaging in independent engineer to observe and monitor the project and report directly to the board. Second was to consider increasing in house staff and reducing reliance on consultant staff in order to achieve a better balance between in house and consulting staff and better within the institution of knowledge. The peer review completed in october 2019 and completed in the boards. The sfta board review was conducted by the engineering firms, legal firms and others. The peer review initially recommended the new organization be formed independent of the tjpa to deliver downtown extension. It add adjusted the recommendation later on forming a new Organization Structure to be involved in the daytoday activities oof the delivery of e downtown extension. This m. O. U. Establishes a new structure to support the efforts in the downtown extension to shovrel ready it calls for an executive Steering Committee composed of designees from Partner Agencies. That would include s ftpa, california highspeed rail, caltrain and city and county of San Francisco. It would make direct recommendations to the board based on activities outlined in the summary work program that is part of the m. O. U. The purpose of the summary work program is to lay out the steps needed to advance downtown extension to shovel ready the work program is the responsibilities of each party including identifying the parties responsible for the delreof the products and studies in the work. One of the first orders of work of the Steering Committee is to further develop the summary work plan into a detailed road map advancing downtown to shovel ready and present to the tjpa board. Under the proposed m. O. U. The board sorry. Under the proposed mou the board will maintain ultimate authority over downtown extension project. They may accept or reject the recommendations of the Steering Committee. They may also act in absence of the recommendation of the efc. The Steering Committee will be supported by an integrated Program Management team comprised of senior staff of the agencies to this agreement. In agreement the Program Management team would be led by the project director from the authority and be responsible for overseeing the daytoday work program. The project director would be an employee. The m. O. U. Provides the flexibility of hiring a consultant or second employee from another agency. This slide shows an illustration how the new organizational structure under the m. O. U. Fits into the current organizational structure. On the right side is the operational organizational chart at the high level. On the left side is the phase two downtown Extension Organizational is that right or structure ase envisioned by the m. O. U. The project director would be responsible for directing the down town Extension Staff and consultant as needed. The director would be responsible for daytoday management of those portions of the work Program Identified for the tgp to lead. Reporting on those matters to the executive director. To the extent another partner is identified in the work program assuming the lead role of portions of the downtown extension work program, the partner would be responsible for daytoday management of the staff. Since the project director would oversee other employees, it is prudent and effective that he be a tgp employee. The Steering Committee will elect a chair and vice chair. The chair or vice chair would be responsible for reporting on the progress of the project to the board. This agreement is expected to provide many benefits. The formation of the executive Steering Committee would be a valuable tool in the toolbox as we move forward with delivering downtown extension with access to experienced executive and having all Partner Agencies part of the decisionmaking process. Having it involved to provide the project with an added advantage that we did not have with the Transit Center project. The Steering Committee is to help with more efficient Decision Making and resolution of any areas of conflict that may occur between Partner Agencies. This agreement is expected to better position the project for receiving funding given we have six agencies actively seeking and advocating for funding for the project. Some of the challenges as highlighted by the chart is that the proposed new Organization Structure is more complex than the current model. No one person is accountable for the recommendations provided to the board. The success of this agreement requires full focused engagement by Committee Members and senior staff. The tgp may be more involved in the daytoday activities because the reporting structure does not allow the single entitity to be accountable. The project cost is unknown. Member agencies indicated they may need Additional Resources to effectively participate in the integrated Management Team which would add costs to the project. If the Steering Committee is fully engaged and able to make decisions in the ex pedish us manner we would realize savings to offset increases in staff. Directors, this concludes the presentation. Thank you. Madam secretary, do we have any board of directors that wish to speak on this item . Go ahead. Madam chair, i dont see any directors hands raised. Giving them an opportunity to do so now. I have a question. This is elaine forbes. Madam chair, director forbes. Mark, can you put the presentation down . Take it off . Yes. Do you want me to do it . No, i was wondering if i need to refer to it or not. I can take it down. Thank you so much for the presentation. I think that a lot of work has gone into this new structure and it is excellent to include the partners that will be at the table and to have this work succeed in an integrated fashion, and it is excellent so many partners agreed to take on responsibilities and obligations. My one concern is that no one person is accountable so i wanted to make sure that we are thinking through a report back structure where we see progress on the various work items so we are aware that the issue of not having one person accountable is resolved through us understanding clear benchmarks and work flow and having a report back to this body to see that we are achieving that mark. Has there been discussion about such a protocol . Director, not yet. When the executive Steering Committee meets, we can discuss that and figure out a way to report. I also can in my executive directors report also report to the board on the progress of that. That sounds excellent. I would like to ensure that we see that reporting structure and concur that it works for us and that we know the benchmarks and times so we know what we are looking for and can correct as needed. Thank you. We will make sure that happens. Madam chair. You have director haney would like to address you. Thank you. I had a question about whether with this authority that some of the contracting requirements that exist under San Francisco laws, whether for Small Business or local hire, how they will be enforced or be included in any contracting that is done . Any contract with the tjpa enters into will be in accordance with the policies and the city policies. Contracts like m. T. C. Or for some reason highspeed rail or caltrain will be under their own policies. Will we all enter contracts sort of independently as our respective authority, not as collective in any way under this . Yes. The work program lays out activities for each agency to take on, activities of the jtpa would lead and require contracts to be able to accomplish the activities would be done under the jtpa policies. The activities with the consultants will be under the sfpa policies. They are under their policies if they need to. Thank you. This is jeff. Looking at the structure and the draft composition, you have director lipkin and the director on the board, does that create an odd conflict recommending and approving . A question. I would have to defer to director lipkin on this. I guess what i would say about that is i would be happy to have our council or debra weigh in on any issues with that particular approach. We also have another alternate board member in this group as well. I havent heard of that as an issue. We would need to make sure that we are properly staffing it and dealing with issues. I think the point thi this is a question for you to clarify the authority for distance related remains with the tjpa board. The actions in how i understand from the askin discussions is mg the work program to it was a request for greater transparency. As they are beginning to work, i would like to ask a couple things. One, a kickoff meeting with the board so we kind of get a chance to meet everybody. Number two, appropriate milestone in the work plan or draft does not include that there are study sessions with the board and with the public to better understand whatever the project is and to provide the board and public appropriate opportunities to provide input to whatever the milestone issue may be. I believe it is a brown act meeting, i think the board is the appropriate place for the public to weigh in if they cant make it to all of the meetings and to make sure the board is up to speed. As mark indicated in his report, the board may need to be a more active participant in Decision Making. I would ask that the chair or executive director or whoever wants to participate at appropriate study sessions be there so the board and public can weigh in on issues of concern. Directors, i want to make sure that takes place. Thank you, mark. Anybody else for this item . I do not see any other hands, madam chair. Thank you for the presentation. I appreciate all of the questions and comments from the directors. I know a lot of work has gone into this. It looks like there is potential for additional agreements to becoming before us as it relates to the budget. We would like to see that as well. We will make sure of the accountability. Thank you again. If there are no Board Members wishing to take on this item, madam secretary, do we have any members of the public to speak on this item . Yes, madam chair. We have a couple members cued up to speak on this item. I want to let folks listening know they should press 1 and 0 to be placed on the cue to be speaking on this specific item. If you can send through the first caller. We have a few. Good morning. Good morning. I would like to direct your attention to clause 70 page sixty to clause seven on page six. On your recommendations regarding recommendations for the work under the m. O. U. It is consistent with the material. [ inaudible ] if you look at the combined cost estimate of 6 billion with a capital b. We have to understand this is nonot realistic in the common environment. At the same time ready to step in. [ inaudible ] what do they need . They sneathey need environmental clearance. How do we get that . First of all, there is no doubt that after this disaster,. [ inaudible ] highspeed Rail Authority has managed to secure these items. What i would like to ask you here is to pull number 7 from the agreement. [ inaudible ] thank you very much. Next caller, please. Good morning. Hopefully you can hear me. I am the Deputy DirectorSan FranciscoTransportation Authority. I want to say thank you to the staff and consultants for working with us over the last year. This work plan anybody front of you. Strong support approval of this item were very much interested and want to start working proactively immediately with the teamanticly with the tjpa staff. There are many benefits and challenges, as mark has indicated, moving forward. Lets work together. We currently plan to approve this m. O. U. Upon approval of this Board Meeting as well as funding action at the april 14th Board Meeting. We heard you loud and clear. We want full transparency. We want to make sure that it is deliverable to your board as well as ours. That concludes my comments. Thank you very much. Please state your name. I am a former chair of tjpa, member of the highspeed Rail Community working groups and member of the friends of the group. I am speaking in support of the San Francisco rail program as proposed. I would be following the project since 2013. This project has experienced issues around quality and scheduling. The tjpa along with other agencies worked diligently through the challenges. We now have a world class Transit Center. This one critical component is rail. It was not popular at the time. I would like to applaud the action of october 23, 2018 to initiate a postanal allow the sftpa and other agencies to review the oversight models of the program in developing the m. O. U. In front of you today. Although at the m. O. U. Proposes a complex structure, the complex project and number of agencies involved and the cost of completing the program to ensure readiness to connect to larger state rail plan necessitates robust oversight. It will ensure full transparency, availability of expert resources and Decision Making to rebuild the Public Confidence as well as confidence of our elected groups. Timing is of the essence. When worked stopped in october 2018. We are now out approximately 18 months. With your approval of the m. O. U. , the initial phases of the two year work plan can restart. In addition once approved the rail plan could be in position to secure potential stimulus funding that might be available to stimulate and restart the economy. Please approve and execute the m. O. U. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment. Thank you. Next caller, please. Please state your name and your three minutes begin when you start talking. Good morning. We are dealing with the economic devastation from covid19. [ inaudible ] my question is why are they allowing the rules to be over ruled by other agencies if it is located in San Francisco and being used with San Francisco money . I want to make sure our contracting laws are being followed. Thank you. I thought we had one more caller. He may have gotten out of the cue. We will give folks an opportunity to call in should they have gotten disconnected. Are you on the line . Yes. Can you hear me now . Yes, mr. Patrick. Thank you. Jim patrick with patrick and company of San Francisco. I believe this thing should be discarded. There is no funding provided for this brandnew committee. All agencies have to fund their own people, i guess. This is is quid pro quo. No guarantee we will get this money to continue this project. Why would we want to do this . It doesnt make sense to me. Good news one paragraph sunsets in two years. Why do we need this in three years . I dont know. New layers of Senior Management is an additional layer. We dont need two men in a caboose on a freight train. We dont need the caboose. Not clear who will build the 22nd street session or pennsylvania avenue extension, but funding for this should be put together as a total package. This adds another later of management. We pride ourselves in the financial audit. If i were an audittor i would say what are they doing on here . It has become an item on the audit. It is not a good idea. It would cut down on future potential funding. Reject this idea and we get this money from the new bond sale proposed. We say thank you very much and move forward. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Patrick. I believe that was the last caller. Madam chair that concludes members of the public that wanted to address you under this item. With no more Public Comment. I will close Public Comment. Directors do you have any questions or additional comments . Do i have a motion . Move. Second. I have a motion and second. With that director forbes. Aye. Director haney. Aye. Director hursh. Aye.
