Likdirector tsen, members of the board, id like to offer Sherry Williams with one Treasure Island, the opportunity to say a few words about their food pantry and other operations. Yes. Good afternoon, commissioners. I wanted to say that, you know, since covid cases are surging, were not planning any special holiday events. Were doing some small things around the weekly food pantry. We had a small, very safe halloween event that residents really appreciated. We had over 60 kids come out with costumes and their families. And that was very nice. With things surging, we are not going to be moving in that direction. Yesterday at the weekly food pantry, a very hefty Food Distribution with lots of extra food that was handed out at the pantry. And our Housing Partnership on the island and Catholic Charities will be handing out additional food boxes to their residents for the thanksgiving holiday, as is the ymca going to be handing out some food boxes for their 36 families that in their learning hub. And we also understand that there might be Additional Needs on the island. Were looking to set up a system to help meet those needs without duplicating any services. We are planning to do a few small cheerful activities at next weeks thanksgiving pantry, next tuesday. Well be doing a pie raffle and handing out candy cornucopias and doing the thankful cards that residents can take to their home and write what theyre thankful for, put on the doorknobs and create a sense of a sense of community connectiveness digger the thanksgiving holiday. And then for the winter holidays, we are going to continue, of course, the weekly food pantry and are going to be handing out a ham or a turkey for those who signed up pe pantry. And well be doing some small festive activities at the pantry, kind of like next weekend for the thanksgiving food pantry. So thats where were going to help us get through this time. Its challenging. Just trying to keep things, you know, make sure that, you know, needs are being addressed. And also keeping, you know, spirits up as we move through the pandemic. Thank you very much. Director tsen thank you. Thank you, sherry, and all that one Treasure Island does in Building Community on Treasure Island. Thank you. Thank you. In addition to the regular food pantry on tuesday afternoons, the department of Public Health has been doing free flu shots at during the food pantry hours, beginning in late october and theyll be continuing that or wrapping that up next tuesday at the november 24th food pantry. Also next tuesday, in addition to the flu shots, d. P. H. Will be offering it free covid19 testing during the same hours of the food pantry from 2 00 until 4 00 p. M. Testing, the flu shots and the food pantry operations will all take place in ship shape parking lot with appropriate separation between activities. And sherry didnt mention it, but just sherry had one more thing to say. I think ill let her speak again. Yeah. Thank you. I just wanted to also mention that we had a really great day on the day of voting day. The ship shape is the site for polling. And so we were trying to manage to make sure that people could safely vote, safely get their food pantry and, you know, bags and distribution. And we had just wonderful outpouring of volunteers for the food pantry and great poll workers devoting place. So everything all of the space was used around the ship shape and the outside area to make it safe and to make it a good experience for people both to vote and to get their their weekly food pantry offerings. So i just wanted to put that out there, that it was a very positive voting there on Treasure Island. And, sherry, i think you also you wanted to Say Something about the group the graduation that occurred this past month as well. It seems like a long time ago. Yes. That happened this month, too . Oh, okay. Sorry. You know, as you know we pivoted and doing the Construction Training Program online. And we had 14 more people graduate and so since covid started, weve had two cohorts. And i just heard yesterday that of the two cohorts, 28 people that graduated from the program, 80 of them are either working now or have been offered employment. So we feel pretty excited that were able to even during these times, keep people getting jobs and keep employment moving forward. So thank you for raising that, bob. Were already organizing for our next one in february. Thank you. And recruiting for it for folks out there looking for that kind of opportunity, especially for Treasure Island residents. Thank you, sherry. This past monday the board of supervisors rules committee voted to recommend the reappointment of mark dunlop to the tida board and julia to the tida board. The Committee Also recommended the appointment of residents hope williams and Barkley Sanders, as well as sailing advocate jim hancock to the tida citizens advisory board. All of these appointments should be taken up by the full board of supervisors at their next meeting on december 2nd. I also wanted to recognize me sun boyce with mer sigh restaurants. She connected with a network of volunteers to assemble desks for Treasure Island residents having to home school during covid. And an event was held last sunday with San Francisco Fire Department to distribute the desks. I believe director tsen were in attendance. There were 12 desks distributed on sunday and others were provided to the ymca to provide to kids in the learning hub. Also at the ymca, the word to remodel or set up a kitchen area has been completed. And i will share some images on my screen. So this is a floor plan of the ymca, the large space is the basketball court. The area that was remodeled is towards the rear of the facility. Bob, excuse me. Bob, oh, there it is. Okay. We didnt see it before. Okay. It was up this is the main gymnasium that funds 9th street. This is the area that was remodeled towards the rear of the gymnasium. This is the wall with the mural that faces the ship shape. On the left this is the way the space was continued. There was some restrooms and showers in this area that were not utilized. Those those walls and pictures were taken out, along with the small office here and a new entry to the space was established. And this shows the planned operational layout with refrigerators and prep tables to prepare. This space is intended to be used to distribute the San Francisco unified milk programs. It could also be used to support other food programs on the island. And this is the finished space. Its got a lot of great light. This is the area where the sinks are to be installed and the refrigerator is on the opposite side. And just a little bit of the work that was done, the current fiscal year budget by the way ymca. Ill stop sharing. Also during past months with the reopening citywide, the Treasure Island playgrounds and dog parks were also reopened with new signage, posting of additional restrictions and requirements for those facilities during the current the citys current covid19 health order. Tida staff, the department of environment staff and landscaping are also working with the literacy for Environmental Justice to set up several yerba buena gardens. There is one outside of the life learning academy, one along the sidewalk adjacent to merced and adjacent to the ymca. On construction, the hillcrest i80 interchange project, managed by the Transportation Authority, is fully mobilized, with the impacts of construction, theres no bike access from the bay bridge to Treasure Island, except on weekends. During the weekend the access bicycle access is via mccollum road. On Treasure Island the focus continues to be on the installation of new utilities in northern california. The kickoff meeting was held on monday of this week for the contractor, who will be doing the utility isolation work in the stage 2 area, which extends east from building one. Theres remediation program. Theres field work under contract. Their next contract, to continue the excavation and the solid Waste Disposal area west side, will mobilize in early 2021. The navy had requested the villages to vacate two buildings to facilitate this next phase of work. And eight of the ten households in those buildings have been relocated to new units and two are scheduled to move before the end of the year. In the complaint that was filed against the navy, tida one Treasure Island, the developer and others, the environmental program, there was a hearing originally scheduled for november 5th, which was postponed initially to tomorrow, november 19th. But yesterday the judge issued a notice stating that the hearing would not be necessary for him to rule on the motion. But its not immediately clear when that ruling will be forthcoming. Were waiting on the court on that matter. And that concludes my report. Director tsen thank you. Did any of the directors have any questions or comments that they would like to make on the directors report . Yes. I would like to make two comments. Do i have the floor . Director tsen yes, please. Yes. Thank you so much, director beck for that capture. I want to comment on two things that you stated in your presentation. One, congratulating Sherry Williams for one Treasure Island again. Were supplying the critical workforce, construction in San Francisco. And i80 is so impressive, out of the 80 of the candidates already have, you know, been enlisted, you know, to start work. And i would just encourage that we know that there are shortages of construction workers and that 20 , the rest of them, you know, partnering with city agencies to kind of help to fill them. And that say to me again, we need to in 2021, mr. Beck, i understand this very well. Thank you. If you conduct more of the trainings, i think this is going to be one of the defining legacies of the commissioners on Treasure Island. Because this is part of equity. Its training people. And so i would like for these again when we issue our report to the city, that all of these kinds of great things that we are doing are prominently identified, so that we can so that tida can get the credit for that, more importantly to let people know that as we develop, we are also taking care of people. The second one also, commissioner fei tsen and supervisor mr. Haney were on the island on sunday. And again congratulations to fei tsen, who is [indiscernible] she is doing a fantastic job. I wish that commissioners could see those desks and to be giving to those kids. Again were going beyond the call of duty here. And people that work with us, with the resident of Treasure Island, so i just wanted to put out a statement. Thank you. Director tsen thank you, linda. And, yes, that event on saturday was organized by sue boyce. I also like to give a shoutout to the two men who started this project on their own time, you know, with their own resources. And its mike and paul, who built those desks for kids and to the Fire Department for bringing their fire engines so that they could deliver to the kids as well. We certainly appreciate people who really it embodies the spirit of community. And we appreciate the efforts. Thank you. Any other comments . Okay. Hearing none, next item, please. Im sorry. Dom we have do we have any Public Comment on the directors report . Clerk members of the public, dial star 3 if you would like to make a comment. We have one caller. Caller good afternoon, everyone. Hope williams. Its great to be before all of you. I want to thank you for the report. I do have a concern that i wanted to raise to the board. I dont know how much influence the board would have. But as you know, were beginning to roll back with covid19. And in march, we didnt have a plan or action plan on how we would be able to support the neighborhood. So i just recently sent an email to bob beck, to the ymca, to one Treasure Island requesting sud financing to see how we can prepare the island, if there is another rollback. As, you know, the majority of the people on the island are essential workers. And i would hate for us to have another repeat of where were struggling to feed the neighborhood. Were struggling to get the resources. So ive asked the ymca to contribute 5,000 toward gift cards to be able to feed families on the island with 25 gift cards. If you dont know, we still have our sfusd meal program. And i recently secured donations for groceries that feed residents and families. The donations are received only covering about 50 50 families weekly. And theres 300 students on the island and some families have eight people in the household. So im just considering this the tida board would put on their agenda item an action plan that we can sit down and plan out what our next steps are, because if theres a rollback, that could be devastating for Treasure Island residents. I dont know if we could survive another shutdown without a solid plan. Clerk thank you for your comments. [bell dings] director tsen yes. Yes. Caller hello, this is Barkley Sanders. I have a quick comment, question. And i dont know if you can answer it in these Public Comments. But id like to update in rega regards to just the directors report. I was wondering if were still on track on Treasure Island to have the switch gear installed in january . Thats just my basic question and comment. Director tsen thank you. Thank you for those callin comments. I dont know, mr. Beck, whether youd like to quickly commissioner sanders comment, well be have an update on the electrical system later on in the agenda. Theres been some delays in the schedule right now. Were prompting it will be installed by the end of march. Director tsen thank you. Well hear that later in the agenda then. Yep. Director tsen okay. So then lets seeing no other callers . Clerk no more callers. Director tsen then well go to the next item, please. Clerk item number 4, communication from and received by tida. Director tsen okay.

Clerk item number 8, Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency update on congestion management. Recommendations. Director tsen this is an information item. Its not an action item. Yeah. Ray hyatt from Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency will present. Good afternoon, directors. Rachel hyatt. The Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency. Good to see some of you again. And meet some of you for the first time. I have information to share that was meant to be presented and actually was shared with the timma committee in for our meeting yesterday. However, that meeting ended up being canceled. And so the committee has been briefed on this material, but it hasnt actually been presented to them yet. That will happen now probably at a december meeting. So you should i believe im sharing my slides now. So just to set up this presentation about the mobility management program, because at least for me this is the first time ive had the opportunity to speak with some of the Board Members about the mobility management program. Our approach here is to really try to achieve these great opportunities that are before us, to have Treasure Island be a real transitfirst community, as envisioned in the Development Agreement. A model of environmental sustainability, as envisioned in the Development Agreement. And also equitable and we dont think that those are contradictions. There are, of course, challenges and risks. And so we are [indiscernible] you know, ways that that wouldnt be exacerbating bridge construction, if the development worsens in grey. Considering congestion. People cant get by without a car or the program is not being financially viable for the longterm. Theres really significant expectations for the program. In the Development Agreement about the program being financially selfsustainable. So to really try to achieve the opportunities, the Development Plan includes very significant amount of transit by buildout, that will be phased out as Development Phases in. But ultimately in addition to more muni service, provided by the city, its timmas responsibility, through the program, to provide new Regional Transit service, which is something that other Development Areas near San Francisco, dont have as part of their development program. New water Transit Service that timma is committed to deliver, new east bay Transit Service. And theres also a very unique, you know, call for an equitable Transportation System to support all of the belowmarket rate housing that will be on the island. And to keep those through means that that support all modes of travel, including transit passes and discounts for shared Services Like car and bike share. But also for driving. And that brings us to the topic today, is how we can support affordable travel by driving. On the list, though, just to close out there, in doing all of this, we want to make sure that we dont compromise, you know, the objectives of sustainability and a transitfirst neighborhood in San Francisco. So we want to will be able to achieve that call for Treasure Island to be a place where theres multiple modes of transit that are good choices for people, as well as affordable choices. And that those things are affordable to all of the Treasure Island residents. Well, for this board then on to todays specific topic with the overview in mind, this board, as well as the timma board has called for us to develop and affordability program, togy go along with the congestion management component. So congestion management, call for the Development Agreement to place congestion charge on driving during daytime periods, congested periods. And to then use that revenue to fund the new Regional Transit. And it is a means to achieve both the congestion management objectives of the development and like responsibilities of the development, as well as the transit options and significant new Transit Services objectives. So we have been working on that on a number of fronts, though, to make sure that, you know, respond to the need for this charge on driving to be equitable. The first policy that this board and the timma board have adopted is an exemption for current residents, who did not opt into the program. And that policy was approved in 2019. And weve since been about a year ago now. Weve since been working on options for how that is implemented. And how people receive that benefit. We have also been working on support for nonresidential users that are currently on the island. And have an update to share about that today. Something in the third piece that will need to be brought before both boards, but doesnt have recommendation yet is policies to support affordability for future households on the island, who arent there yet, but will in the future. And are lowincome. So in the belowmarket rate housing or otherwise low income. The purpose of the work that, you know, weve been doing on the current residential exemption and the nonresident support is to get to a picture of how these programs would operate. You know, how would people be able to access the benefits, you know, making sure that the people who the benefit is intended to serve, are able to get it with, you know, minimal barriers. And that the administrative sort of procedural burden is minimized, both for the beneficiaries as well as for on the agency side. We are able to manage the process and the costs and have a predictable program that can be well managed. Ill start with the current resident exemption to the toll. I was going to present two options for, you know, ways that people might be able to receive this benefit. But for both the options, the eligible beneficiaries would be the same group. So they are people who are have a lease that it dated on or before the policy was adopted. So that was november 2019. And we do know that there is folks who are being moved into their new units. So this benefit would carry with those lessees to the new unit. So we we will need tidas help. There would be a partnership with tida here to verify the eligible leases. But just want to make it clear that we intend for the benefit to continue on with the household, even as they move into their new unit. The policy that the timma board adopted in 2019 calls for this to be evaluated and revisited in at the 4,000unit milestone of development. So the first option for the benefit would be a tagbased option. In other words, a fast trackbased option. With that approach, if someone already has a fast track transponder, timma can associate that toll tag i. D. And account with a Treasure Island benefit. And make that fast track toll tag into one that has exempt or limited trips, you know, for with no toll on and off Treasure Island. If a household does not have a fast track, then we would provide one. And that that would allow for unlimited travel on and off, you know, Treasure Island without incurring a toll. Some things to know about how this would work or how this would work, we would need a partnership with tida to verify the eligible households or lease holders. And when i say lease holder, it just means we need a point of contact. It doesnt mean only one lease holder can make use of the toll tag. Any residents in the household could make use of it. But we just need a Person Associated with the lease to be our point of contact that we correspond with. And if were using a toll tag that the household already has, that we are able to obtain that account information. Or if were providing the household with a toll tag, that we have a point of contact there. And we will need to associate the fast track i. D. And account, you know, with the with that lease. So there would be a licensed and use agreement involved with that. And we would expect that, you know, the folks, the people in the household would share it among their households, drivers as a they need. The second place is license plate based. And so the toll system will also have license plate capture capability. Thats really for enforcement as well as add another option to be able to have an account, by associating your license plate, having having a fast track transponder. That could be an option here, too. And so for, you know, each car in the household, timma would provide that account excuse me, a license plate information to fast track and the fast track system could then exempt those transponders. One selling here. I have one second here. I have got my low battery. Okay. So, yes. Lets see. Where did i leave off . One thing that this option means is that it would be households that have cars, that would be receiving the benefit. And we want to, you know, i think the intent of the policy is for current residents, even those who dont own a consider to be able to access the benefit. So for those households or leases that dont have a car on the island, we could provide a toll tag. So people could use that if theyre getting rides, for instance. So this would have another step in it as far as verifying eligibility. We need to have a verification that the vehicle is it belongs to the household on Treasure Island. Theyre registered. And so folks would need to be able to provide that there would be another step that we could do for that. We could use the Distribution Process for folks who dont have a vehicle. We would you know, if looking at some criteria like you know, does the benefit prioritize the need where the need is and lower administrative costs. Toll tag approach we think would be definitely less administrative stuff. We want to hear feedback from residents on these options. So weve been, of course, one Treasure Island, chair williams is always very helpful in giving us recommendations about how we could best reach people to get their input and were working with her and her staff on that. Well be doing some surveys or mailings over the coming winter months to get input. The incremental cost of this program is really marginal on the upfront capital side. We need to put in, you know, the systems in place to do the verification and the enrollment. But and we would actually recommend offering, you know, that we provide the fast tracks, the toll tags rather. Communicating with folks. Its really the the Cost Management and making sure the benefit goes to who is intended to receive it is really about managing the inventory on an ongoing basis of the tags. If its tags. And this is the option number one, you know, the cost is understanding when like if a household moves off the island, we would look to timma to help, you know, understand when current if current resident households move off the island, fingertips. The second option has another administrative step. So there would be, you know, another burden of eligibility there. And there may be more vehicles associated with this. Were not sure. But we can learn that through outreach that we do to better understand specifically, you know, these days how many vehicles do island households have and, you know, make sure that were accounting for that in understanding the cost to do action number two. The other place we have an update today is some options for providing support to nonresidential current uses. And so again we have a couple different options here. And the eligibility is the same for back and forth. Its proposed as the same for both. Focused on Affordable Housing nothousingnots, although i thine mean specifically is the one Treasure Island agreement, and it includes a daycare, so which is not housing nonprofit. So the shorthand would be the one Treasure Island member organizations. We also know that we have some more learning to do about all of the travel associated with the nonprofits. There are trainees, for instance, that may not be employees or arent employees and others who may not be direct employees that do have travel. So theres some outreach lear learning that we know we need to do to clarify questions, you know, about the eligibility. The other eligible set of uses would be commercial uses that are Food Distribution and food service establishments. That have a Public Opinion facing publicfacing function in food service. The effectiveness of the program and the need for any changes to the program sooner for the commercial excuse me, the nonresidential program. Evaluating it and modifying it, asking the questions, should this be modified sooner than sort of midpoint of development, just because it may change there may be changes in the nonresidential landscape sooner than the 4,000unit milestone. So the two options, the first one would be a cashbased subsidy, a cash subsidy. And so this would be a payment from timma, you know, to these eligible nonresidential uses on say a quarterly basis. The amount of the payment would be scaled based on employees accounts. Soole amount of payment would be based on the number of employees that the institution has, because our understanding is that the aid from the primary costs, that the businesses are confronting. And the priority, you know, need. So, for instance, the 600 per quarter is based on taking an assumed peak period toll to trips, five days a week, over a quarter. And, you know, summing that up over the period of the quarter. The thinking is to allow flexibility for the business to use it as they need. So if there is a worker or workers that live onisland and dont have a commute cost, they already receive the current resident exemption, then there would be those funds would be directed towards other means for deliveries or, you know, other nonemployee travel. This would need to be a partnership with the businesses to make this happen. We would distribute this cash, you know, to the business itself. The point of contact at the business rather than timma working with the employees. Its the business or the nonprofit or the business who would distribute to the employees. We would, you know, need to have a representation of the number of employees that there are. And so that we scale the payment and based off of tha option. The second is not a cashbased option, its a toll tagbased option. And the intent here was to really prioritize, especially the lowincome employees, by providing them with toll tags for commute trips, similar mirroring the the toll tag option for delivering the current residents toll exemption. So in this case, the amount of exempt travel on Treasure Island would be a roundtrip, you know, five times a week, peak periods, five times a week. And in this situation, there would be more administration, you know, involved in that. So the business would, you know, need to indicate to us to timma how many employees they have or if this is lowincome workers, which we would recommend focusing this on lowincome workers. The number of lowincome workers that they have and then the business would need to, you know, manage the inventory of these, you know, to when they have employee turnover to, you know, recover the tag and then give it to the new employees that come on, redistribute and wed have a partnership with the businesses in this case as well. But i think the level of effort for them would be there would be more involvement. We need to learn a bit more to really have a better idea of the incremental cost of this second option, this toll tag option, relative to, you know, the first option. I mean, the cash options we have a sense of how many employees are associated through tida. A sense of the number of employees associated with these uses. We need to do outreach again with folks and understand their employee count, to refine the estimate of the amount of cash. And for option until two, also understand the share of employees who are low income. We would, you know, just from an administrative perspective, we would recommend the cash option. Its just the Administrative Burden is less there. And but like for the resident options, we know we need to do our outreach. And talk to folks and get some feedback for us on the preferences about these options and feedback on, you know, how that partnership would work best. So our next steps really would focus on outreach at this point. This is an informational item. We started reach willing out to the nonresidential uses and we are internally working on coming up with a method, a mailing method or other maybe combination of surveying methods to reach current residents. And so were getting feedback on the resident option. And so ill pause there and look forward to your feedback as well. Thank you. Director tsen thank you, rachel. I have some overall comments, but id like to give the other directors a chance, first, to have any questions or comments that they would like to make. Since i cannot see everybody on my panel, i dont know who is raising their hands. So, kate, youre going to have to call on them. If there are any. Clerk so linda. Director tsen go ahead, linda. Thank you so much, rachel. I think the plans that you have outlined are well thought out and kudos to all of the work that you and your committee have been doing. So the first comment for me is looking at the option one seems to be viable and this is the one that has the toll. The challenge for that option is normally for people that do not drive, fit into that [indiscernible] again its a great option. The majority of the residents i can see will fit into that. You need to now come up with the grey area of the people that may not have their cars and may not even have occasion of people driving them back and forth. However, within a month, they have, you know, subsequent trips or whatever, we need to figure out that one, you know, out. The other one is the one Treasure Island. Yes, you know, one of the projects that, you know, tida board you know for us thats very prominent, has to do with the construction training. We are getting atrisk individuals. We are training them. They are getting jobs. In fact, one that is really doing more in the city and county of San Francisco. So this is a program that is going to be ongoing. And we support and we fund. And everybody, you know, supports. And the city. We need to sit down there and how we can accommodate them. And that also opens the full discussion then about low income in general. That are going to be coming from outside, you know, mainland of San Francisco into Treasure Island. We need to look at that and again i know that supervisor haney [indiscernible] so that again we can accommodate and how are we able to look at them. This is more for the supervisors. All of these plans, whether they are tailored to our residents or businesses, we need to have a builtin, forwardlooking scenario. What are the benchmarks . Because all this programs here, they have a duration. And i think from the onset, people that are on the island, whether theyre a resident or businesses, ought to be able to have a timeline when this program that we are doing now at some point. What are the years we are talking about . Its not openended. Lets give everyone the opportunity to know off hand what the duration of this i think it would be great. Just know that. You dont have to give that answer today. But its something that i would like for you to really look at. Forwardlooking scenarios are very, very important. They guide everybody. Do we reach a certain milestone in our development, then what happens. And then so what. And again thank you again for all of your work. And this is great. We are moving forward from here. Director tsen thanks. Thank you, linda. Ruby, i see that your hand is up. Did you want to make a comment . Yes. Thanks. I have a couple of questions. Ill try to keep it brief. One is outreach plan that you were talking about, rachel. What outreach has been done currently . And what is the plan Going Forward to solicit more feedback and direct involvement . Thank you. So precovid this was actually leading up to the boards adoption of the policy in 2019. We did, you know, focused on residents as well as businesses and it was out of that outreach that the current resident toll exemption emerged. So the board adopted the exemption for current residents last november. And since then weve been looking at options on how to deliver that benefit. So our next step is the outreach. And so since were in a socially distanced time right now, we need to reach people, you know, in a socially distanced way, although i know we do have the option to go to the food pantry, for instance. But some of the suggestions for the plan right now are to do a mailing to the current residents who would be eligible. And solicit sort of surveystyle feedback, either through a mail bag itself or, you know, by going to, you know, some place to fill out a survey. We can also publicize this through food pantry distribution and work with the one Treasure Island Housing Providers to sort of follow up with folks and make sure that theyve received, you know, the mailing or the other survey to fill that out and send it back. We also, you know, know that im talking with one Treasure Island that there do continue to be the community meetings. And we could, you know, have this as an agenda item, the offer would be to include this on the agenda at the community meeting. And get the word out that way. Just a quick question on that. Whats the timeline for this . How long [indiscernible] before it goes to for actual, you know, action . Thats not calendared yet. Yeah. It would be, you know, sometime next year, after weve been able to do the outreach and i think you know, synthesize what weve heard. Yeah. And youre thinking the businesses . So for businesses, you know, we also we could also do a mailing, you know, with businesses honestly as well. We have Contact Information for businesses who have participated in our previous outreach. So we had a some outreach events again last year in the lead up to the current resident exemptions adoption. And so we well return to those folks who participated and have more oneonone. Honestly we were thinking more oneonone type of discussions or Small Group Discussions with the businesses, you know, versus a survey. But we could also do that, actually now that i come to think of it. But what we have been thinking of was just really direct conversations with the businesses. Yeah. Yeah. It would be great to have this as a future agenda item, because sounds like the engagement plan is still not really solid. I think getting clear on that is essential, right. Like mailing i dont think will be sufficient. People wont mail that back, right. I think generally that tends to have a lower touch point, just in my experience of engagement. And community meetings, surveys, small focus groups, oneonone, those are more tried and true models. One, its good data for you to collect, you know, making sure that were being inclusive, also listening to folks. Also designing a program, saying that you did a sixmonth engagement process. Everyone is like i havent heard of this. Yeah. So it would be great to have a future item a real plan on how youre going to do engagement. How many numbers, what percent do you want to engage with. Having some targets would be really great. And then, you know, the other question i had was the so you talked about the milestones around [indiscernible] 2500, which is great. [indiscernible] we have a moment to look at this again. So i dont know if you know those off the top of your head . Assume not. The information we have from the developer is it amounts to basically a 500 units every year on average. Yeah. Yeah. Thats great. Because i think that will really help inform kind of a little bit around whatever policy decisions are made. [indiscernible] and just the last comment is the ferry and bus service updates. We all know, you know, to have [indiscernible] [audio is fading in and out for speaker] i didnt see anything about the ferry or bus services or the alternatives. Understanding what are the existing alternatives. Director tsen yes. Thank you, ruby. Are there any other directors who wanted to make comments . Okay. Hearing none, let me just ask you, rachel. Its going to cost about 12 million, plus or minus, for this part of making the tolling policy equitable. Where is that funding coming from . Is it coming from revenues from the toll that we actually collect . So this is a good topic to probably include in the next update that we come back to you with, the update on the Program Costs and funding strategy. We have for implementation costs a combination of Grant Funding, you know, federal Grant Funding, state Grant Funding that is committed. And we have local funding, contributions from tida and from tida for the upfront infrastructure. We do have a funding gap still for program launch. The funding strategy is something that weve actually we were thinking about including that update in the agenda. Its through a combination of sources, including Grant Funding, some of the developer subsidy that from the Development Agreement identifies for the program. So thats the upfront capital. We have four committed revenue resources. We have the toll revenues themselves. We have parking revenues, when the Parking Management program goes into effect. And we have transit fares and transit pass purchases. And then, lastly, theres the developers operating subsidy commitment thats included in the Development Agreement. During the years of the program, to provide all of the Transit Service thats called for, would exceed the amount of revenues from those committed sources that we project. So we also are talking with our, you know, especially regional partners, the water emergency, transportation agencies to identify supplemental sources of funding to fill that gap. Director tsen yeah. So, rachel, i think this is a very important question, which in the next presentation really does need to be included. And i hope that we can i dont think we can make promises if theres a gap we cannot fill. And i really think that, you know, the tolling is because its an important way to by revenues for different alternatives of transit. And but its also very important for us when we do the tolling to have an equitable system, to help those who cant afford tolls. It is a balancing act. We have to know where the funds are coming from, otherwise were proposing a system, which we may not be able to fund. I think that in your next presentation these are issues that we need to look at. You know, the tolling is because were trying to find ways to reduce the number of passenger cars that lead to congestion, that lead to basically were trying to effect the environment and use less fossil fuels, which does affect our climate in some ways. At the same time, we really have to help those who cant afford it and not have an additional burden. So it is a balancing act. And the Ferry Service or the Autonomous Vehicles or muni, a. C. T. Buses, do those subsidies come from the same source . And by basically putting money into one, were not able to provide the alternative transit, which, in fact, will lead to people not using more of the passenger cars. Is it from the same part of funds, thats what im asking. Right. So there are a variety of different Funding Sources that, you know, today fund the Regional Transit. You know, Ferry Service and east bay bus service and muni Service Today are all funded by different sources. Director tsen yes. Yeah. Theyre all funded by different sources. And we need to look at a variety of different sources and bring in a variety of different sources to be able to meet the need, because different sources have different eligibility. But theres funding available to support water transit specifically, for instance, that is not that isnt, for instance, eligible to be used on on Program Operations that arent transit. You know, so we are considering the eligibility, you know, restrictions and the evaluation criteria of these various sources when were matching up the need and the potential source. Director tsen okay. Well, if in your next presentation you can also look at what if its a tradeoff between say having less Ferry Service and, therefore, then we give more in, you know, reductions. Those types of choices have to be clear to us, so that we can make a decision. I know this is very complicated. You want to have a tolling system that is sustainable in terms of both the revenues that were supported, as well as sustainable in being efficient and being able to administratively manage. So i know that theres a lot of a lot of thinking going into how we might do this. I also know that other cities are looking at what we do at Treasure Island, not only San Francisco, but other cities are looking at what we do on Treasure Island. How do we instill a tolling policy, which will reduce the use of vehicles. But yet be equitable. And it is really a very difficult equation to make, but foremost, of course, we want to make sure the equitable systems, but also make sure that theres alternative transit, that we dont in the end run out of money so that we dont have the alternative transit, so that people can use other means other than their cars. So its quite a balancing act. I understand that. But are there yes. I see linda, very quickly, please. Yes. I just wanted to interject very quickly. Earlier when i was asking about the ed forwardlooking scenarios, that implies funding, a mechanism and the fact that this is going to be extremely very expensive. And the reason that we have the again to offset the congestion at the bay bridge, it only takes ten minutes from ferry in San Francisco to get to Treasure Island. That would be something that should be a priority for, you know, considering in and out of Treasure Island. One thing that i want to the state here, rachel, the San Francisco county Transportation Authority is actually one of the best agencies in the city, with your outreach. Covid19 was not, you know, an issue and i know that you will be taking out of these messages. So the plan that theyre asking for here is because of the covid19 implications. Thats what were talking about here. And i know on wearing another hat, the other parts of the city that are dealing with toll and congestion, the transportation in the bayview and the soma. Youre constantly there and from everything i get, your agency is out there, which is really great. You know how to do outreach. Why dont you then on Treasure Island, maybe work with them to expand their database. The residents also have to be available as well. Sometimes we send information to them. Some show up and some dont. And some at the end have a series of meetings, we already have those kind of experiences. So working with Treasure Island and the cab, maybe have an extensive outreach with mr. Beck, to get emails from all of those people, so when they can and theyre having their meetings and everything and zoom meetings, maybe some of those residents can join there. Im just putting it out there. Hopefully six months or whatever, the covid19 will be gone and going to where we can on site and you can go back to the plan that you have before. Again im just reiterating here how we can get this residents here. Its extremely very essential. But due to the limitations we have right now, also working with supervisor haneys office, you know, when hes out there in the, you know, in the island or doing any program, we know the residents come out. So those are just kind of my suggestions. Thank you. Director tsen thank you, linda. Anybody else on the board who wants to comment or ask questions . Okay. Then is there any Public Comment on this item . Clerk yes. Theres one caller in the queue. Ill open the line. Caller thank you. Hope williams again. I want to just kind of add on to it. First, to extend my support and helping to facilitate these conversations with the residents. So that we can make sure that the information is relevant. And im also asking that we also consider the impact that covid will have in 2019, when this was presented, we were in a different financial situation. But now knowing that recovery may take time, our neighborhood and also our patterns. Taking in account the neighborhood that exists right now, its not enough just for people to get into San Francisco, but also how do we connect. There are households that have children who are in three different neighborhoods. So youre asking parents that if they drive, what financial affect would that have on us. Are there residents that live on Treasure Island, that actually work in other cities, other than San Francisco. So there is bit of a complex situation that i would love to be a part of the conversation. Bob beck has my information. One Treasure Island also has my information to extend, so that i can help in facilitating these conversations. So that we can make sure that were making the best choice for residents and really hearing their voice in this matter. Because personally as a person that lives there, im looking at whats affordable. How are we accounting for affordability. What impact does that make on us. So im personally against it, but im not a person that i wouldnt be willing to work with you to try to have those conversations. Director tsen okay. Thank you. Good. Is there any other callers . [bell dings] are we waiting for another caller . Clerk yes. One moment. Im attempting to unmute this caller. Caller hello, this is Barkley Sanders again. I wanted to join hope williams in supporting any outreach that needs to be done on the island, as someone that lives here. So feel free to reach out to me. You guys have my information. And i will be more than happy to help with any outreach conversations, putting fliers up, really anything that needs to help get more feedback from the community and input, in regards to the toll situation. Director tsen okay. Thank you, barkley. Thank you, hope. And i understand that both of you will be joining the board. And i thank rachel. Well certainly be working with the board as well. Any other callers . Clerk there is no more Public Comment. Director tsen no more Public Comment, well go on to the next item, please. Clerk item number 9, Treasure Island electrical system update. Director tsen is that you, bob . Will you be making the presentation . Sorry. Yes, i will. Ill share the power point here. Just a moment. Can you see my screen now . Director tsen not yet. Is it up now . Yes. Thank you, members of the board. I want tofan provide an update n the progress on the electrical system in the island. Recap of theh outages we have hd this year. The status of the improvements funded in fiscal year that we managed to fund through the fiscal year 020 budget. 2020 budget. The new switchyard location, some resident inquiries. This year we have had a total of 11 unplanned outages. The last occurred the day of our october 4th meeting, later that afternoon. Of those outages one lasted three to four hours. The causes roughly half were caused by damaged equipment. Others were caused by bird strikes and tree limbs and one issue was unable to determine the cause. In terms of interim improvements. Installation of the fault indicators that they have been doing. It allows the system to maintain service through most by bird strikes and tree limbs. It should limit the area impacted by more serious faults. The fault indicators identifying the location of the fault and restoration of power. The closures were installed last summer. They did require some calibration to function properly without still causing the main switch here to trip resulting in an island outage. The fault indicator installations in oakland and on island were substantially completed this month. There is one location they still want to install that but they are having some difficulty. We show on the left the fault indicators and on the right that is the closure. On the image up right now you can see the electrical over headline that is being installed as well as here is the location of the new switchyard improvements underway. Again, the new switchyards is going to be adjacent to the planned Wastewater Treatment plan site and there is an aerial photograph of the switchyard location. You can see the pads that have been installed there for the equipment. Again, this area has been through the geotechnical surcharge process. In the upper left you can see the grade of the new switchyard is four feet above the surrounding. Thathat is indicative of the amt of fill brought in throughout this area of the island in the future. In the images on the right you see closer up images of pads installed and locations where the pads have yet to be poured but you can see the conduits running up through those pads to feed the future switch gear. This is an image from behind the ship shape of the new electrical overhead going in. There are five separate boom trucks operating in this photo simultaneously to the overhead lines. In terms of the schedule, december 9th is when tic will complete their work on the pads and sub structures to allow sfpc to begin work within the switchyard. January 9th. The overhead line installation should be complete. I mentioned the current schedule is to complete the installation of switch gear by the end of march. That is delay from the original schedule. It is a goal we should be able to meet. The data, final cut will be determined but we will provide residents a minimum of 72hours notice before any planned outages necessary to complete the cut over to the new switch gear. Moving to issues brought up by residents that asked us to explore. Over the past several months we looked at several different topics brought up. The idea of island wide Battery Storage wit with solar. Individual battery store rage augmented by solar. Then most recently portable Battery Storage with solar as alternative to generators, portable generators. Last spring we had a proposal afforded to us prepared by custom power solar and callaway technology in a package to the board. This was discussed in the past. The proposal was to provide centralized Battery Storage, 6megawatt hours, and a solar generation capacity of 1. 44 mega votes. The proposal as presented was presumed these costs could be offset by rebate programs, however, Treasure Island facilities arent eligible for the rebate programs because of their former navy status. They are not a pg and e or Southern California Edison Service area to help fund those programs. At this time funding is not available to selffinance improvements of this scale, although tida will continue to study the potential for cityowned and controlled on island solar generation and Battery Storage as a liability measure in the future. On residential Battery Storage augmented by solar, we had a letter addressed to the tida board requesting the battery back up technology in Treasure Island housing, tessa power walls were mentioned. We have contacted an install leof tesla power wall in similar situations for the estimates of the costs. We have been provided our 50,000 per residential building, which would be three power wall units and if we wanted to augment that with 12 kilowatts of portable capacity that would increase the cost of the building to 1 11,000. We currently are 11 3 00 you ops 113 buildings. That would be 6. 7 and 12. 5 million. For all buildings we could expect volume discount but still would require a significant investment that we dont have funding for. Last nolast month we were provid information for a project that specializes in design and distribution of clean emergency power solutions. Portable Battery Storage units augmented with solar panels. Tida and sfpuc staff recently had a call with foot presen footprint to learn more. These are not to power buildings but could serve as the set up last november of 2019, could serve to centralize the facility where residents could charge phones, medical devices, etc. They were going to continue with footprint to do an on island demonstration of one of their trailers, something they were interested in bringing up. Sfpuc is interested as part of their citywide responsibilities both to power pop up sleeping shelters and other Emergency Response to an area we definitely plan to continue to explore. Just a few words on future additions. Following the new switchyard which the new switchyard in moving to the distribution of power on the island through new switch gear is going to be substantial improvement in our system reliability. There are additional things that tida are planning after that work to continue to improve the system performance. The p. U. C. Will relocate fuses and closures within the existing distribution for optical performance with new distribution from the new switchyard on the ninth street overhead line. The p. U. C. Will be inspecting fuses and transformers to identify potentially vulnerable item that we could replace. Our priority in replacing suspect equipment will be to address those in the residential area first, not only for the benefit of residents but because that is some of the area to be last to be developed. That equipment will be in service the longest. That is the conclusion of my updates. I would be happy to take any questions you may have. I will open it up to the board first if there are questions or comments. Yes, linda. Thank you, bob forgiving all of these scenarios. Right now we are getting into winter. Things are going to be now. We look at another four to six months ahead of it. What are the incidents that i know that p. U. C. Has been going back and forth and making, you know, improvements. What are the incidents that you foresee from november basedded on the history that we have so far . That is number one. I am glad you are going to have the footprint demonstration. It will be a great help. Again, with everything now sol solar. [indiscernable] what are the charging mechanisms. Three, sola so far we know you e outages three to four hours. Those are tremendous adverse effects on the residents, especially medical. Everybody is encouraged to stock their freezer because of the covid19. Then you have all of these reliabilities from p. U. C. s standpoint, is there anything . We are not going to have 60,000 for building. That is very expensive. What can be done . Help someone if the milk is spoiled . Those are just general questions. Lastly, when do we think 2021 that all of this infrastructure and electrical system improvement you demonstrated we can say in june 202 we should be 2021 we should go back to 95 electrical availability or whatever . Those are my general questions. Thank you. Thank you. The cause of outages we had 10 outages this past year where we were able to identify the cause of the outage. Two of those were tree limbs, both of which occurred on the island and outage was limited to Yerba Buena Island. We havent had a lot of problems between tree limbs and the trees on Treasure Island, outages on Treasure Island. On Treasure Island, we did have three bird strikes, all of those happened in the late spring, which was between april and june. That is when the geese are coming through. They migrate in both directions. That is when we had the out ages last year or this year due to bird strikes of the five outages that we had due to equipment failures, three of hose were relatedded to failed cross arms on poles. The sfpuc has done visual inspections of the poles on the island to attempt to identify cross arms that might be, you know, aged and in danger of becoming loose or getting a failure. Most recent outage in october was a short in an underground line that fed one of the pump stations. The strong water pump stations in the residential neighborhood. That is underground line was abandoned. That pump station is now fed with an overhead line to remove the potential from the underground line to have moisture intrusion and have a fault. That is kind of the nature of what has the outages we had this year and measures that can potentially be mitigated. We certainly can share information. I know there was information that was produced statewide with the rolling blackouts on how to respond to blackouts and help preserve your food and so forth. We can make sure to update that information and distribute to residents as well as we continue to move forward. Again, as i mentioned in the presentation. You asked about schedule for the new switch gear to be online is then of march. We will continue to be doing work, working to improve the system. I dont have a specific date when the other items that i mentioned as priorities in my report will be complete. When that new switch gear is online, we anticipate that it will result in significant improvements. I think the p. U. C. Has been continuing to do work with reclosures, which will also give benefits. The october outage we had was limited to a residential neighborhood, which i know is not the consolation for residents, but the reclosures were able to prevent that outage in causing an islandwide outage. If you compare to the bird strikes that we had earlier in the late spring occurred south of the job cor corps campus. We are calibrating the reclosures. If we were to have that type of bird strike at the south end of the island in the future we expect that would not create an island wide out age and the residential neighborhood would not be affected with the reclosures functioning properly. As we move forward we expect fewer outages, we expect the outages to be limited to a portion of the island, and with the support of fault indicators, we expect restoration, Service Restoration to be quicker as well. Thank you. Ruby, did you have a question . Thank you for the update. I appreciate all of the details around the followup that came from residents. I think you can reiterate. [indiscernable] this item for a while. I just want to acknowledge this is not probably. [indiscernable] ourselves included. It is unfortunate that we thought it would be january, then march. To make sure that we stick to march, if there is anything we could do to help you, please let us know. We want to focus on the longterm solutions. The impact of the outage is the core issue. The question i was going to ask the lawsuit not lawsuit, the outage that happened last year that was potentially caused by a contractor. [indiscernable] there was funding that could be for the region someday. Is there an update on that potentially . [indiscernable] maybe you could provide something for residents. Thank you. Unfortunately, in consultation with the Attorneys Office we will not be able to recover damages related to the novembe november 2019 outage. We wont be able to make any recovery there. We will continue to try to improve the system. Thank you. Is there anybody else that would like to speak . Bob, you know, on the switchyard come on line, would that solve these blackout problems or is there still the potential there will be blackout issues with the new switchyard. There will always be potential for power outages. The primary challenge we have had has been the reliability and fault tolerance of the existing switch gear. Something like a bird strike or a fallen tree limb should not typically result in a power outage. Certainly not islandwide power outage. The bird strikes the powerlines then falls away from the powerlines. There is not a particularsed ia particularsed short circuit there. If we eliminate those types of outages that would reduce by half the number of outages we had last year, but the new equipment both in the switchyard and on the Distribution System should reduce the number of equipment related outages as well. When they do it should limit the area impacted. It shouldnt result in islandwide. Most of these should not result in island wide outages but more localized outages on a smaller portion of the island. I guess the rest of the city is the same thing there is no certainty if pg e would have issues. Saying that, looking at temporary power sources, i think, is something that would be helpful. Your suggestion of the footprint project with charging trailers, i think we should look into that as a temporary stopgap to allow residents to have some access to power if they actually need it. Their equipment shows a lot of promise. We are looking forward to the onisland demonstration of the equipment. Have we designated Certain Community spots where there is also generators and power going through the Community Center . The one Treasure Island has a generator, portable generator they were able to hook extension cords to provide some power. They actually needed that during the 2019 november election. Then we with the villages we bought an additional generator and power strips to set up a temporary power charging location either at the ymca or within the residential neighborhood. We have contingency plans to do both. It hasnt been set up yet at the ymca . It is not we also have looked at what it would take to install a permanent generator to power the building. That is a different thing. What we have are equipment we can set up during an emergency or during an outage, but it is not permanently installed or set up. We have also looked at since the ymca is one of the buildings that is expected to be reused. We have been studying what it would take to install the generator at that facility. If you would still continue to look at solutions for temporary power just as a stopgap during those times when it is truly needed. Yes. Are there any other questions on this item . If not, is there Public Comment . Yes there are two callers in the queue. Go ahead. Hi, again. Thank you, directors, for bringing up these points. I am not sure if you know, but distant learning will most likely continue into 2021. Really looking at temporary solutions for power because our children during the last power outage they werent able to get access online, and it had a negative impact as we were trying to rollout devices to get children online. Some devices were actually damaged and we werent able to reimburse the families for the damage. Definitely looking at temporary solution is a sense of urgency. It does affect when people go shopping or when they need to just get online and work for those who are doing it but definitely for our children. We have 300 children that are participating currently in distant learning. My other question is this. Is there possibly a neighborhood hub backup system in that case that our kids or people who need backup have it in their neighborhood hub station there . This really looking at maybe they might consider donating to Treasure Island and working with the community to try to invite us to the table. We have not been actively involved in these conversations to bring these solutions on a regular basis. We would love to try to brainstorm how to Bring Solutions to the island so that we can make sure that while we are still going through covid that we can be able to do it effectively. Thank you. Thank you, hope. Next caller, please. This is martin again. Appreciate the children i the n tone. I appreciate you are exploring these solutions. I wanted to point out i do have another solution the Power Initiative to allow tida and other people. [indiscernable] they could reinvest some of that into this community because the whole reason the grid is not upgraded is because every development. With the people Power Initiative also basically portable batteries to move between units can be purchased from this collaborative that shares batteries in addition to pg and e power shut off. Treasure island can become a resource where batteries are purchased. It is the simplest solution and likely the cheapest solution, even cheaper than possibly the collaboration with footprint. I will share that information with the Board Members. I have been waiting for the opportunity because of all of the updates you have been provided. I do really appreciate the change and the other solutions being looked at and not just switch grade upgrade and such. Okay. Thank you. Any other callers . There are no other callers. Hearing none. The next item, please. Item 10. Discussion of future agenda items by directors. Any future items, directors to bring up at this point in time . Just one quick thing. Going back to the Funds Available around some of the families. [indiscernable] you know, i am getting updates on Funds Available. Is it from you on what existing funding is out there and how to access it . Could you help get some of that funding . I think we could i believe we included in the prior board package. One Treasure Island prepared some fact sheets earlier during the pandemic about Resources Available and distributed those to residents. We have also been distributing information from oewd and Small Business commission to our commercial tenants. We can take a look back at those resources to make sure we are maintaining them, you know, as additional opportunities become available. That would be great. There is probably money out there. One thing i could do is speak to private sources of funding that can be used. [indiscernable] a one stop shop. Okay. Thank you, ruby. I see no other hands up. That ends the discussion. I guess we can ad we can add ju. I hope you have a happy thanksgiving and connect with your friends and family and keep safe. Thank you. Thank you everyone. Thank you all. Secretary sata, welcome to your first meeting at the helm. Would you please call the roll. [roll call]
