Thank you, good morning commissioners, bryan goebel executive officer. This item will authorize the lafco to enter an construction with banner production to provide Renewable Energy consulting to the lafco. The lafco is mandated to provide oversight of cleanpowersf in august of last year we issued a request for qualifications for Renewable Energy expert in three Service Areas. I outlined all of this in your packets. By the okay deadline, we haved a total of seven responses. They met the minimum qualifications to work with lafco. There was only one response for service area one, which is to support lafcos oversight of cleanpowersf. We gave all of the respondents a Second Chance to apply and by the february deadline received a total of four responses. On march 13th, we convened an r. F. Q. Evaluation panel made up of chelsea from chair fewers office and a legal counsel. Of all four respondents, vanir scored the highest in the supervisor and proposal evaluation. On june 16th of this year, the lafco issued an intent to award a contract to vanir. The panel were impressed with vanirs presentation during the interview and their understanding of the role lafco plays with cleanpowersf. They have done their homework. As well as by the firms documented expertise and proven record in the Renewable Energy field. They are a minority and women owned company. The staff member for the role at vanir will be jenny witson with Extensive Knowledge of Renewable Energy issues. The team who will work with lafco, i outlined this in your packet, includes developing the framework for the c. C. A. Program in los angeles. They have c. C. A. Experience. This would allow us to significantly strength and our oversight role of cleanpowersf by retaining expertise from a firm with experience in this field. Im very excited to work vanir Going Forward. My recommendation is that you approve the contract. Chair fewer thank you very much. Any comments or questions from my colleagues . Seeing none, lets open up for Public Comment please. Clerk members of the public who wish to provide Public Comment on this item should call 4156550001. If you have not already done so, please dial star three to line up to speak. Please wait to indicate the system has unmute you. Are there any members of the public wish to provide Public Comment on this item . Yes, i have one in the queue. Hello commissioners, eric brooks with californian for energy choice, i worked the last 14 years to get cleanpowersf off the ground. Support of this, the diversity and the expertise that this company and team has is both crucial and impressive. Its great to see this Going Forward. Theres one big caution and hopefully vanir is watching this as well so they get this message to both the commissioners and to vanir, the big caution is that all the expertise looks great but the one thing that i dont see from either of the commission or the contractor is the plan and the ability to integrate all that spirit expero plan a Virtual Power Plant for the San Francisco bay area like the sydney, australia renewable plan. Thats what the advocates have been watching for 14 years. Its not coming from the sfpoc. We need this contractor to be expert on power plant and hire contractor to build it. Thats absolutely crucial. Its the one thing i would say to step up your game on both the commission and the contractor. Thank you. This looks great. Its great to see that were moving forward and i look forward to communicating with all of you in the future including vanir. Clerk thank you for your comment. Anyone else on the line . That completes the queue. Chair fewer Public Comment is closed. Mr. Brooks, comments are noted. I think we are now able to make a recommendation to approve the contract with vanir Construction Management as mr. Goebel has recommended to us. Supervisor mar i had a question for mr. Goebel. I wanted to clarify is the contract with vanir going to cover all three Service Areas . I noticed lafco received responses to the r. F. P. From different bidders in the three different Service Areas. Vanir only submitted a response to service area one and Service Area Two but not service area three which identify proposed programs for communities of concerns. I wanted to clarify whether the scope of this contract will cover all three Service Areas . Chair fewer mr. Goebel . Thank you for that question commissioner mar. I want to add that Jenny Whitson from vanir johnson us as well. No, this contract only covers service area one, which is supporting lafcos oversight role of cleanpowersf. I think it could maybe be possible that vanir could help us develop scope of work for service area three, which other service they didnt apply for. This is mostly to support service area one. Chair fewer commissioner mar, would you like to hear from Jenny Whitson from vanir. Shes available for comment to answer questions. Supervisor mar yes, sure. Im curious how whether lafco will be pursuing consultant support for Service Area Two and three . It is my goal that well be able to based on what i heard from commissioners in the past that service area three is a priority, particularly picking up on Winston Parsons work that he did with his report with number of power disconnections in San Francisco and doing work in this area and other work that the commission deems a priority for communities of concern. Im not sure if ms. Whitson would care to say a few words. Mr. Goebel and commissioners, vanir is excited to support the lafco and service area one oversight of cleanpowersf. In termings of the comments that we heard, well work with mr. Goebel and commissioners to consider any advocacy comments be and recommendations and incorporate those accordingly into lafcos recommendations. Were very excited and we look forward to working with lafco and many other stakeholders that are looking at the cleanpowersf implementation plan. Chair fewer thank you very much. Ms. Whitson to reiterate the question from commissioner mar about working in areas two and three. Would you be able to lend any expertise. I know that your contract for Service Area Number one. Im assuming that you have the expertise for two and three should we expand the scope. Is that correct . Yes, we we do have the Technical Support and expertise for Service Area Two. We are willing to help develop the scope for service area three. We can certainly help with developing that as well. Chair fewer commissioner mar, any other questions or comments . Supervisor mar no, thank you so much. Chair fewer thank you very much. I think that seeing no one else in the queue, i like to make a motion to approve this contract. Could i have a second please . Supervisor mar second. Chair fewer roll call vote please. [roll call vote] you have four ayes. Chair fewer thank you very much. Please call item number four. [agenda item read] chair fewer mr. Goebel . Thank you madam chair. Commissioners, this item would allow the lafco to extend its contract with the jobs with Justice Education Fund to conduct another survey of on demand workers in San Francisco. The focus of this survey would be delivery workers. Who are among our front line workers now. Our previous survey, those delivery workers who participated in the survey, mostly in San Francisco, more than 60 of them. I gone into detail on this in your packet but the survey would have two part. The team would recruit for a representative survey of workers on four platforms, two grocery and two food with a target of 200 workers on each platform. They would also conduct a survey of delivery workers are unionized. To understand how the work is performed when the workers are employees with union representation. This will then compare the difference and have some analysis on that. The first step of this next phase will be to do a pilot to develop a methodology that Prioritizes Public Health and safety for the team who will be working in the field. A part of that how they will determine whether or not this would be inperson survey using all the safety protocols and or whether it would be a phone survey. I think thats something they hope to work out with the pilot. We do have funds left over from the previous representative survey since it was cut short. That would cover the pilot phase and then conducting the next survey would actually be dependent on additional funding from private foundations to the tune about 360,000. Weve already applied for one big grant and im starting to work now with the team on fundraising strategy moving forward. I feel confident that we can raise those funds. Im looking forward to this next phase of work with the survey team. The contract will be extended for one year and my recommendation is that you approve the contract. With that im happy to answer any questions. Chair fewer thank you. Any comments or questions from my colleagues . Seeing none, lets open up for Public Comment please. Clerk operations checking to see if theres callers in the queue. For members waiting online and wish to speak, please press star three now to be added to the queue. For those on hold, please continue to wait until the similar indicate you have been unmuted. Anyone on the line . I have one caller in the queue. Hello general commissioners. Eric brooks again. This time representing our city of San Francisco, local Grassroots Group and the San Francisco green party. I wanted to really you probably already thinking in this direction, it is vital during the virus crises that we get responsive and data on what front line workers need because of the virus crises. Especially with were just finding out today that congress is totally dropping the ball on support unemployment support maybe a lot lower and that essential workers like this, is vital that were paying them a lot of money. Soothe like doing this. We really need to get data and responses specifically on that. Not just for this industry but this will cover but if we get the right kind of responses it will apply to uber and lyft and maybe even whole foods workers, Grocery Store workers, you name it. So we can get some guidance on giving real relief to front line workers and make sure theyre paid well enough to justify the hard work that were having them do. Those are my comments. Chair fewer thank you very much. Anyone else in the queue . Clerk i dont believe theres anyone else in the queue. Madam chair, that completes the queue. Chair fewer thank you. Any comments or questions from my colleagues . Commissioner mar. Supervisor mar thank you. I wanted to thank executive officer goebel and my former colleague, the academic partner and others for all your work on this groundbreaking study on workers in San Francisco. I fully support extending the contract for jobs for justice, to do a new surveys with the food and grocery delivery workers. Im very interested in following up on recommendations that came out of first round of survey and supervisor haney particularly the recommendation to explore licensing system for food delivery. I think the second phase of the survey of those workers will align well with us and initiatives that can support these workers better. So thank you. Chair fewer thank you commissioner mar. Any other comments . I like to add my ditto to exactly what commissioner mar said and thank mr. Goebel especially for staying with it and being able to fund these really important studies. Thank you very much. Having said that, anyone else in in the queue . I make a motion to approve the reservation authorizing the Second Amendment no, Second Amendment to the agreement between lafco and the jobs for Justice Education Fund for on demand delivery workers. Can i have a second please . Second. Second. Chair fewer roll call vote please. [roll call vote] you have four ayes. Chair fewer thank you very much. Can you please call item number five. [agenda item read] chair fewer i think today we have our counsel inder khalsa to present this item. Good morning madam chair and members of the commission.

We can open this up for Public Comment. Clerk operations is checking to see if there are any callers in the queue. Please press star three now to be added to the queue. For those on hold, please continue to wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted. Is there anyone on the line . I have one caller. Its eric brooks again. This time representing all four of the groups that i mentioned. Just to give thumb us up to renewing the executive officers contract. Its been very refreshing to work with bryan. Todays meeting is a clear indication that bryan is getting stuff done and his ability to get the supervisors to realize the importance of this commission has been important as well. I would urge you to approve this. Thank you. Clerk i believe that is the only caller in the queue. That is correct. That completes the queue. Chair fewer thank you.

A system prompt will indicate you have raised your hand. Please wait until the system indicate you have been unmuted. Is there anyone in the line to speak . Yes, i have one caller. Hello again one last time. Commissioners, eric brooks representing all four of the groups that i mentioned before. I cant say this with enough urgency. If you look whats happening in washington d. C. Right now, the trump administrations handling of the Economic Crises that has merged from this virus and other problems with the economy is dismal at best. Even the leadership of the Democratic Party is not stepping up to make sure that things are funded and the people are funded the way they need to be. Housing is producted the way it needs to be. I would urge you to take the public bank off the back burner because were now facing a situation where San Francisco is likely to be under extreme crises, especially for housing even with the protections that weve got in place. Its vital that we make sure and get the public bank on the front burner and moving forward as quickly as possible so we can get people out of harm and get coops funded and things like that. So we can fund things like cleanpowersf that will be much easier to build than saving the planet if we get money from a public bank to build that Virtual Power Plant. Sydney, australia power plant that i was talking about before. I dont think that we can leave public bank to decide at this point. Thank you. Chair fewer thank you. Clerk that is the only caller. Chair fewer okay, Public Comment is now closed. Madam clerk, is there any more business today. Clerk no further business today. Chair fewer thank you very much everyone. We are adjourned.

Submission of one eighth of one percent retail transactions and use tax for cal train to support immediate and long term operational and capital costs at election to be held on november third, 2020. We have staff team manager of Regional Affairs who will be presenting. Thank you, chair. Good morning. Regional manager is sfmta. Were here to give you a brief presentation on the one eighth cent sales tax. Our executive descrecto directon transportation authority. We can move to the next slide. Thank you. In 2017 senate bill 797 authorization to put a one eighth cent sales tax on the train counties. Being a dedicated sales tax. The measure would require two thirds of the voters in two thirds of the county. Precovid estimated it would raise just over one million per year and one tenth being generated in San Francisco. Prior to the covid 19 pandemic the majority of cal trans funding came from self generated revenues. Today many riders are working from home and the riel riders dropped to 5 of precovid 19 levels. Annual contributions from the member counties and annual good repair projects. San francisco annual share was 14 point six Million Dollars. As noted senate bill 797 was proposed to raise and good repair needs s needs the expende outlined on this slide, the ballot question hasnt yet been finalized. We ask voters to approve one eighth of the sales tax to support regional economics recovery, prevent traffic congestions, make cal trains more accessible and affordable; make travel times faster, increase frequency and capacity. Authorized legislation they can put the sales tax legislation on the ballot. The measure requires the approval of the majorities of three thirds majority of supervisors. The board of supervisors approved resolutions to place the measure on the ballot. These go boards would need to it pass another resolution to provide those resolutions. Turning to the governance before you established an ad hoc committeea special council was hired in february in regards to governance. Two governing documents that cal train operates under today. The direct Powers Agreement established in 19 the one when ca1991 when caltrains is formed. The Real Property agreement that was amended in 2008. For giving thirty eight million in debt for the right of way purchase. Twenty Million Dollars outstanding. Theres a typo on the slide. The correct amount is thirty eight Million Dollars. Additionally the co ceo and c. Turning to the gornance governae provisions. Eligible expenditures at anytime with a two thirds majority vote. Up to the first forty Million Dollars collected. Its provided by san trans and covid 19 related relief options. If the governance solution is identified, the escrow account would be closed and funds would be transferred to regular use accounts. If no resolution is found another forty Million Dollars would be made available for operations. Next slide, please. All parties commit to working with state delegates on a legislative solution for the 2023 solution. Next slide, please. A joint statement was signed by 12 elected officials calling for this approach of funding for the california transportation authority. Last week voted to support and held a public hearing and adopted the resolution earlier this week. Im going to jur turn it over to jonathan to close out the presentation. Good morning. Budget manager. Next slide, please. Just as she mentioned, through the joint Powers Agreement. San francisco provides both the capital costs and operating costs for cal train. The formula is a little different for both. On the cal tal costs. Theres a category for specifically cal train. On the operating side the contribution of the operating budget and the need is split proportionally based on the percentage of ridership. That would be San Francisco. Thats typically 27 percent. We do budget contribution as part of our two year operating budget and the last one you a approved was on june 30th of this year. Youll see to the right, youll see amounts of the contributions over the last few fiscal years has been increases. In addition it includes that theres no dedicated funding source. As cal train has provided additional service, the need with contribution from the members increased. The budget contribution was twenty nine point nine million. The current cal Train Service plan in preliminary budget that has been presented to their board increases the amount of their deficit after the application of the cares act fund for both trunk one and trunk two. This would be additional five million contribution for a total of 14 million. If we did have to make that contribution we would have to look towards reduction in other areas to cover those costs. Just over time, this is an analysis of the impact of the legislation itself and the resolution that the San Francisco board of supervisors passed and the policy issue before you today. Again, the impact if approved and if the bill tax were to pass as proposed, it would remove the requirement for that additional five Million Dollars in fiscal year 21. It would reduce our member contribution to about three Million Dollars in fiscal year one. That will not cover the complete deficit but reduces it. Because we do a two year budget, i just wanted to tro throw this. Assuming it stays exactly the same. Thats seventy trains. Our contribution and this sales tax were applied in the way its proposed, our member contribution would be 12 million worth three million more in fiscal year 22. If the sales tax were not to proceed in the way were talking about, there were no additional salessorry federal funds that went towards the operating program, our operation could be a tie of 23 million next year. That is the last side. Were happy to take any questions that you have. Thank you. I know we have a couple members, i dont know if there was anything you wanted to add at this time before we open it up to directors for questions. Thank you. This is chief communication officer. Just want to thank the board for considering this item and holding a special meeting to do so. We understand that time is of the essence. We dont have anything further to add to the presentation thats already been given. Look forward to answering any questions or providing comments if we can be helpful. Thank you. Thank you. Directors are there any questions that you have at this time. Maybe you can queue up Public Comment at this time. I do have a question. Thank you. You mentioned the crafting of the ballot language, what process does that go through and the changes that have been made by the San Francisco board of supervisors to include the governance requirements. Do we have any idea what kind of impact thats going to have on the crafting of the language because it did seem pretty straight forward before those governance concerns were added . Thank you, director. I wonder if you would be able to respond to this question. It would be best answered by cal train who has been working to craft the ballot question. We hav i can speak from a can perspective which may or may not be helpful for this particular question. Weve been working over the last year plus on this ballot measure and working with stake holders from all of the agencies, the seven agencies that need to take action on this measure in addition to some board members. We did just as recently as the last cal train Board Meeting get direction, confirmed direction from a two thirds majority to pursue placement of a clean ballot measure that did not include these directions. Weve been working under that direction. The cal train have not had a chance to review these conditions. We do not have direction from our board at cal train in terms of what our position is on these conditions. That is the honest answer about where we are. Maybe you could talk a bit from the c ta perspective. Certainly. Thank you. The drekor of sft c a. The los angele language that the supervisors introduced on tuesday, building upon the question. Im wonnerring abou wondering ag the conditions today given the august 7th deadline which is coming up. Could somebody speak to the logistic the other five poreds s and coming back and the likelihood of that occurring . The effect of today is one of the seven required approvals foreplaysing thapprovals approvr placing it it on the ballot in november. Mtas approval in the process. What remains are the dta and board of supervisors and the two san mat mateo agencies. Cal train would be the final in order to place the measure on the ballot. There can still be changes as long as theres the practicability to handle those changes. I believe its still possible. Were running out of time. These conditions have all the other boards acted to pass the resolution, would we have to go back and revisit their approvals. I can take that which is that the, this particular version has beenwas approved by the San Francisco board of supervisors earlier this week. San mateo county transportation district and board of supervisors approved the measure without the governance changes in may. Santa clara is set to act on this on august fourth. A demand for ridership a couple weeks ago in the context of our transportation recovery plan. Pushing out tele work based, are you able to share any of the projection nz terms of your ridership returning in terms of the bol a ballot in 2020 and 20. I can take a shot at that. We do have, i think its anybodys guess. What were doing is scenario planning at this point and trying to understand what the parameters might be for a spectrum of ridership rurp thatn given circumstances that might play out. The go pass program which is an annual pass program that drives a lot of ridership on the cal train program. Its very encouraging. Seventy one percent of former riders that would call themselves frequent cal train riders said they would expect to ride just as much or more when they can get back on the system. Thats an encouraging number. Similarly the majority of companies that are participating in the good pass program indicated that they anticipate bringing their employees back to work on their sites and campuses and not have gone a long term tele commute policy is also encouraging on how ridership may return to the cal train system. None of that may occur until they can go back to work, we dont know how long that would be. I think you covered it very effectively. I would add during that interim where we really in a latency period with much of the other transit operators around the region, our focus is to meet the needs of the riders, folks who depend on transit to make regional trips that cal train is uniquely positioned to serve. Anymore questions . I cant leave you out. As a matter of fact, i dont. Im a little bit too informed on this issue. Ill wait for a little later to give you some comments. With that why dont we open the floor to Public Comment. Madam secretary if you can open the phone lines. We can file questions after the callers. This is a reminder to the public. The phone number to call is 888 8086929. The access code is 9961164. Moderator do we have any callers on the line that wish to speak at the moment . Great. Wonderful. Good morning. This is peter, im one of the San Francisco riders. Im not entirely in support this this measure. The process that led us here today. I strongly urge you to support this measure. Cal train is an essential service. Its in desperate need of a funding source. As stewarts of mta directly, were in strong support of the measure today. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning. This is cal train as an organization dedicated to Successful Organization and Stable Funding for a regionally integrated Transportation System that is accessible to all. We have been when this first came forward preparing to support this measure as covid lifts and people return to traveling, this has the risk of bringing crushing traffic to our road ways and having can you hear me . Yes, we can. Having people need to go buy cars who dont own cars today. Its an essential piece of our regions transportation net work. Weve been working four years to build the underlying groundwork for some equity measures and new policies that would be funded by this ballot measure. That would make cal train who is historically accessible im sorry your time is completed. Thank you so much for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good morning. Ive been advocating for changes in grchanc governance for eight. San mateo countyill give you an example, the [indiscernible]. There are some things in it that could be fixed. It talks about amening the joint towers agreement in a way that the joint towers agreement cannot be amended. A two thirds vote to amend the agreement. The agreement does not allow itself to be amended that way. It requires a vote from all three counties. It needs to be clear to voters and not needlesly muddle the issue with all the governancing at the last minute. Thank you. Next speaker, please. This is david. First of all, the agenda states that people will have two minutes but youve only been giving people one minute to speak. Can you clarify that so i know how long i have to speak. What does the agenda specifically say . On page two in the box when prompted callers will have two minutes. Thats correct. If people want to come back and give their second minute, they should be allowed to do so. I agree. Im a long term cal train supporter. Theres a lot going on here in money and governance an turf and such. I havent gotten into that. I wont go into that right now. My primary concern today is the noticing of the meeting. On tuesday the notice that was posted had the wrong date and said tuesday june 30th 2020. I saw that in the Late Afternoon and left a mess abl message boad secretary. And because of my call or somebody else noticed it, that was changed and corrected on wednesday. At the time when that was changed or corrected, that was less than seventy two hours prior to this meeting. In my opinion, there is a brown act and sun shine ordinance vi violation occurring by having this open. If you have this today, you open yourself up to a vailation and hand any tax pai payer or groupn issue on the tax because of this procedural problem. If you actually want to get this measure on the ballot, i strongly encourage you not act today. Renotice this meeting and take action at a different meeting with the proper date next week. Thank you. Any additional Public Commenters. Please be sure to give everyone two minutes. Thank you to the previous speaker for clarifying the amount of time to talk. As i had been saying. The friends of cal traib was cas preparing to strongly support this measure. We also support of the measure of cal train to achieve the long term goals of the Business Plan to increase ridership and have connectivity with the rest of the transit system. We do have some concerns with the current language and well be watching to see what the implications will be in terms of deciding what to do in terms of what are the legal risks of the problems in the language in terms of if there is something in the language that cannot be done. What does that mean in terms of legal suits and a ballot language that will be really easy to persuade voters to support. I urge you to move this forward so the process can continue and well be watching to see how these issues are dealt with in order to decide how to support the measure. Organize grass roots support to pass it. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. You have three questions remaining. Theres two bridges. They are about to close the bridge and were going to have a new chavez station day. Let me just wrap up here. We have the exact same problems. Please vote on this unanimously. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. You have two questions remaining. Thank you, chair. Im taking the one minute. We just have to do this and get this passed Going Forward. I was bringing up the matters of new york with the decline of the sub way and Grand Central terminal. Its very difficult. As the city sub way goes, so does the city. Im asking you to pursue the uncomplicated solution. This is about giving the public the chance to vote on the most important decision for this railroad which is in the process of electrification. Its going to take some bold leadership for you to step out. Because really we have to have the lowest common denominator Going Forward which is the basic sales
