J. Tjpa adjacent to the Transit Center and zoned for seven hundred and 50 feet zone two has land jurisdiction designated to the Planning Department through the designation as you are familiar with an option process with the tjpa undertook for parcel f for the procedures for the Transit Center ultimately 9 process was not held but United States tjpa continued to have negotiations with the prequalified birds one of the birds was urban pacific they brought on Hines Development upward with the salesfroce tower and Goldman Sachs fifth avenue for the tjpa financing so theyre familiar with the transbay area in the project they submitted angle over offer to the tjpa parcel f and block 4 sierra club seeing the two projects Work Together right now we know about project f as mixed use has has a hotel in the middle and residential at the top the tjpa board approved the purpose agreement with the developer for parcel if for 160 million for march the condition was there was an approval of the option on block 4 from occ so we negotiated that option agreement and which was approved by our commission the Purchase Price was 45 million it could be load through the negotiation in the wrong direction or if thats the case lower well come back for a fair market determination as i mentioned the site is on the location of the temporary Transit Center if for some reason the delays it is k9d for but the purpose must be equal or greater than fair market thats why were here before you the developer whether deposit 5 hundred thousand with occ with the approval that covers the costs with an option for another 100 percent thousands if we need the costs and most importantly the developer agreed to provide for 4 percent Affordable Housing in the project with no occ subsidy thats a significant friction our Commission Approved it on april 19th of this year, the other considerations that lasts until 2018 it gives over two years thats the average timeframe for any of the transbay blocks to move to the discipline process and oats new york city around the development and around that time well work to define the project the mass design and the fee and concerns something that includes approval over parcel f residential component assistance not within our purview of zone two goes to the Planning Department because of the amount of residential units it is important to understand how we meet the 45 requirement we have approve rights over that to know exactly how many units and what kind of housing one thing we anticipate both block four and parcel f they continue to refine to look at whether that makes sense or make sense to offsite any of the avenue to block 4 we know challenges and including Affordable Housing at the top of these tower so see if 0 block four is a better site we do know i want to flag about the possibility analyze it that is a proposal made well come back to the board with separate approval so youll be able to make your detectors at this time were requiring the developer bring on an Affordable Housing developer with experience and providing Affordable Housing of 45 percent Affordable Housing project is a significant amount we want to make sure youll see expertise we need one thing that was important for us to flag this is the beginning an option agreement we want to signal we have a couple of Community Benefit goals to work on this right now to incorporate the best practices and doing everything we can for the certificate of see corporations and the developers agreed that part of 500,000 deposit communitybased organization toward certificate of preference holders to make sure were learning what we can and providing the service for the housing but were seeking to develop a robust plan that includes moma the contracting opportunities for Small Businesses and economically disadvantaged San Francisco residents and businesses to make sure the empowering space there is ground floor retail and other xhernld used to make sure those are focused on the communities local nonprofits or Small Businesses, that would be provided belowmarketrate rates or other terms to help us improve the neighborhood that we can. So, now to the meat the fair market determination and so were required to have a determination made under state law under the health and safety code the property must be the considerations for the property must consist of fair market so we provided to you in our file what we call a section 443 report that includes the option agreement and an analysis in any cost the disprobation officer of lands does this disposition help to eliminate light yes and what the estimated value again since we dont have a specific project before you at this point we used perimeters to come up what we think a Hypothetical Development somewhere and did massing and estimate that around 5 hundred and 80 utilities plus for the tower and look at the 100 percent rental scenario all the units are offered at scenario a confined on other transbay blocks the top of the tower might include for sale marketrate homes and we looked at those are described go amongst the tower any subsidy it will be zero and what the revenues for each type of units and came up within an adjusted value and on the fair market of the lot and in the remedy scenario with an estimate of 18 want 6 million and on a reversal and centennial that was higher which assured us the offer of 45 million did in fact, meet the requirement of the marketrate with a strong requirement from the developer and staff feels confident we are achieving the sate mandate fair market so another consideration is this does facilitate the sale of parcel f that is critical of providing 47 percent of units at their costs which the highest on the transbay this is a significant Community Benefit, of course, all the other terms of the project with highway, traffic and safety will be worked in the disposition that goes back and forth who the developer and what their Design Concept and the Community Benefits and standard d da terms based on that staffs recommendation the option be approved i wanted to highlight we have reached out to the community this item was heard at the april transbay cac meeting and supportive and endorsed this with a couple of comments to ask us as and move forward with the Affordable Housing throughout the project there be consideration how transbay block 3 or the park will be programmed that includes high quality chrjz programs and the project there be high quality with exterior and for the unit designs for the residents and so for the next steps the estimated timing from the board approves the option agreement with the tjpa and developer will close on parcel f in june and well spends the remainder of 2016 working with the Development Team to have their dispensary join the team with the concept and framing and get into the meat with the negotiations in 2017 and as an as i mentioned the terminal needs to be removed by the 2018 scheduled to open early 2018 that concludes my presentation. I have representatives of both the Development Team and the tjpa are here if you have my questions as well as myself. We have a couple of questions in the kind supervisor peskin. So relative to the 3 million from the 45, 52 million with the temporary terminal not abandoned by thirty june 2018 what is the timeline for the completion of transbay and the abandonment and demolition of temporary terminal. We anticipate the tear terminal will be off by that point, we have as i mentioned occ blocks on three and four and other timeframes you know for next steps other than to continue to work with to your knowledge but at this point we dont anticipate past that point is a caveat should it in the be a mechanism built into the agreement. Right i did descents on the vote this body loaned tjpa a quarter of a billion dollars to the extent the project continues to come in late and over budget it just gives me a heart burn to on intersections that might cost us an additional 3 million from 45 to 42 million i mean is there any arrangement arrangement if they fail that tjpa will reimbursement the city that 30 million. Well, ill turn to representatives the tjpa that are here to answer that question supervisor. Good afternoon, commissioners im mark intern executive director with the transbay joint powers authority. Whats your name. Mark. Mark. Youre the new executive director. Intern. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as well your currently schedule to open the Transit Center in 2017 we saw no reason youll not dedicate the parcel before 2018 were confident that land block 4 and 3 as well with the adjusted block that be available by 2018 for you have a 6 month cushion your telling us. Yes. If you fail inform perform. I will not fail to perform. Perfect thats a good answer, of course, your only the intern director. Not up to me. Thank you, supervisor wiener. Thank you, thank you for the presentation i thank you for this and it is exciting the project will go move forward and i on intersections the 4 percent affordable is terrific one thing i want to just get to classification, of course, nothing is free and so there is a you stated and also stated in the yeah in the presentation that theres no public subsidy to get to that 45 percent and so the 45 million Purchase Price that valuation that led to the purpose price was that 45 percent the or of the units will be belowmarketrate. Thats where we know the pipeline of projects in transbay we know that block 4 has to be 45 percent. Right in to make that fair market salutation the 45 percent affordability number was baked into that evaluation. Yeah. The communitybased allows for that consideration they call fair reuse a shorthand the fair market to take into account any restrictions. Im going to happy hazard a guess not 45 percent but to the esteem none of us want sold for marketrate with no or loans 12 percent whatever the minimum under the San Francisco law point evaluation of the property will be less than 45 percent. Yes. It has an impact. 42 or 45 percent is a higher evaluation he know that is how you phase it even though it is correct is occ is not cutting a check youre the public subsidy you can build more Affordable Housing but occ is certainly going to receive less of a lower Purchase Price because of the higher affordability number than would have received if a lower affordability unable thats correct. All the transbay properties well state with a minimum requirements will be and you know will be based those requirements. Im not chriss that 45 percent is awesome but im saying i dont think really necessarily accurate to say no public subsidy there is a public induce in get to the higher inclusionary number of occ and the city is receiving a lower Purchase Price just like one 60 fulsome the occ basically gave the lands in challenge for the higher affordability there is always there is a public subsidy here occ is receiving less money than lower inclusionary percentage. Yes. Tjpa will be the one receiving the landfill and like i said the government public entities it is important not accurate to say no subsidys but a government subsidy in a reduced Purchase Price pushing the affordability up to 45 percent and some people that like to pretend were just forcing the developer to do some High Percentage and beating up the developer and squeezing it act out of the developer that might be true for a portion of inclusionary but a portion of the inclusion were i totally support inclusionary housing but help to increase the percentage that is important to be transparent that there is an actual public subsidy. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank you lets if youre done with our presentation go ahead and take Public Comment open for item 2 come to the podium if you have questions well. Thank you, dean with local 2 the hotel and Restaurant Workers Union i appreciate if supervisor peskin and supervisor wiener on the subject focusing on the questions of Affordable Housing and what were paying for them obviously a close nexus in many that highlights between Hotels Development and the needs in the city more Affordable Housing the question of in circumstances when workers will be able to organize a union and to live in the city is obviously a huge focus of ours i was assured in the hallway prior to the meeting the project sponsors intends to negotiate with the union prior to entitlements and were looking forward to work working towards that end obviously this is a huge importance as the city decided whether that is appropriate to have a hotel and parcel the question of the quality of jobs and the impact that those jobs will have on the need more Affordable Housing is skairl in the jurisdiction of the city and at Planning Commission and ultimately the board of supervisors under section 303 and so it i look forward to future dialogue.

That you may have rewarding the hpc comments that concludes my remarks. Thats okay. If i may add another thing i like about the this designation which is not related to the building itself again i am excited there is a part of San Francisco that is named after the likes of new york calling names theyre all in this general region of the district 11 and that has a significant high School Designation for you for our country that it is a designation a founder body for the constitution based on the packs at the coordination to form their confederacy want to throw that in there.

Mayor open this round table good morning, everyone. Good morning. It is good to have an opportunity when we have a smart city challenge we get smart people out here to participate thank you to everyone who is here at city hall and welcome in the secretary foxy were talking a few minutes earlier i was complimenting many occasion we dont get the opportunity to work with the federal government if which we are positively challenges r challenged sometimes were challenged with other things that has unique opportunity for San Francisco bay area not only one of the 7 city pilots to put together something that my goal is well beyond this particular challenge and bringing people together with an opportunity to figure out what guess our future for every neighborhood in the city for the city itself and the region were thinking about how can urban mobility be enhanced, involved temp that we think that is going to be part of our lives in the very, very near future how can the principles we are operate on the privileges of equity and go accessibility and affordability be a dive active part of the way we plan our urban mobility for that elaboration the present and future and i have scompliementd the secretary because this approach to this and president obama support for this has to do with with awakening the talents of our city in a direction that supports these principle. Uses the opportunity to get the best of our technology to blend with those principles and you know we know more than any other region in the country how the urn mobility is a challenge unless i think and plan for time for everyone so im excited about this challenge and excited because a great part is going to be discussed with people right in this room along with berkley that is part of our what we call super public our hub with you and california agencies and regional agencies and the federal agencies along with companies that have started and growing and becoming part of fabric of discussion around your own mobility and helps the challenges what is happening director reiskin and i with or talking this is just a gamechanger of what were about to do and present we need to document and make sure that agencies have access to this the public truly can come in to a center like the one anothers 50 United Nations plaza to house everybody and access to this information because but talk from the federal government smart city challenge and a a Community Engagement policy as you may know and challenge our own neighborhood and communities to rise to the challenge i know that supervisor wiener is familiar with this he and i before i became mayor were working on Community Challenge goals literally neighborhoods top City Government and say how can we help you improve our neighborhood and similarly well do this for communities not only what are your challenges. Improve our lives and make the will accessibility part of our transportation challenges this opportunity is incredible and not obviously we want to win and demonstrate that to the secretary but want to impose everyone to our shared future thats why we want to create a platform that didnt divide people people people that have wifi and dont communication devices between those who do and do not make sure this opportunity reaches everyone and San Francisco ive been doing already i it is part of our culture one of the is first citys to say that equity up by raising minimum wage lets get hours for affordable by building thirty thousand New Buildings in the next 7 or 8 years well accomplish that those inhibit are part of the successful city wheel were growing transportation my name is i in my opinion i think that is shared with the federal government the greatest equalizer of all people nowadays have to be involved because there is only 49 square miles we also share that be responsible with oakland and other cities as a Regional Partnership we want this opportunity to make sure that everyone can live and work and if youre from a place work here as well and not sit isnt car for two hours a day so the other part safety incredible work that is being done on vehicles to make sure theyre safer this vision zero goal a great contribution to that technology in the urban mobility setting cant work if it didnt offer and higher level of safety just wont work this is another attribute on the front and Center Offering this this is satisfactory im a firm blsh believer in the shared commissioner lee whether car share or bike share and the moore people are against urban centers like San Francisco and the bay area to be able to say you dont have to own and have is the frustration of being for your own vehicle a second vehicle in most cases that shared ability to actually give you a higher level of safety assess and mobility that you need that is our future something i truly believe in and think that having people come off from the demands of ownership and going into incredibly and easy assessed to transportation i think is a wonderful opportunity. Shown that time and time again with the improvements the Transportation System and making it affordable and sometimes free for youth and free for seniors and for people with disabilities got to the greater this is San Francisco bay area if it aint greener cant come to any porch one did reasons people want to be in the bay area lessee Green House Gas emissions and being a parts of either a company or a government or a Nonprofit Agency that has going on discussions about being a partner in our environmental goals so electric atones vehicles is a part of that we have the embracement no different with the federal government says lets approach the mayors of the country that is where things are happening he, he knows if i know federal officers that are prior mayors theres an instant understanding you should know that more and finally i want to say that were teaching each thats why we have to have this evening document because as an International City we want to be sure to share that information and best practices and share failures so we can overcome and work better thats what we do in the private sector weve learned this in government and more and more were not fear fell off failure all of those contributes are reflected in the approach to this smart city challenge i want to say again, thank you i know that secretary fox is reminding me not easy to put this together i appreciate that but it was kind of easy for us to accept the challenge youre talking about things we have to have happy in this country and right at the leadership of it i dont think youll find secretary in the entire world than in the bay area thankful for everyone in this room you already meeting the smarter stir challenge and appreciative of it how to be a mayor of the city that puts forward a challenge and great response and hopefully secretary he said this earlier i really hope that maybe theres resource towards 7 cities 50 million each because of what were demonstrating around the future of this country and meet that challenge thank you for being here secretary fox this is our welcome to you and glad our back here i think we put the warmest day of the week together for you laughter appreciate our presence i know your visiting everyone of the citys but i know that when you come here were welcoming and embracing the ideas and goals and well show our best calendar. Thank you, thank you mayor you thank you very much for the great welcome i love coming out here mayor ed lee and i were buddies before i came into this role and continues to serve San Francisco and one of the leading voices of the mayors around the country before we get into our presentation to spend a few moments ago talking about why the smart city challenge and process that Going Forward. I should say at the outset is the last time i was here i was disappointed during the superbowl and any carolyn panthers didnt farewell it was all good except the game laughter i should also mention being from charlotte and graduated in college we are e eternal proud of the warriors you should know that no bias on the challenge but certainly a bias on the game laughter so look what i want to convey and one of the reasons i go to all the cities to convey how urgently we need to address this nations transportation problems coming out the Department Almost 3 years ago it was raining you know what we had a government shut down, we had been almost 10 years without a long Service Transportation bill, we had ceqa tradition things when the federal get colds this is a flu in the city and locals gotten to a chronic place cities and states were struggling to keep up maintenance and not a lot of creativity or a lot of punch to what we were open about from the transportation stand point. And you lay on top of that the square 70 million more people youre familiar with the rapid population from a transportation perspective 45 percent more pressure on the federate and 65 more trucks on the road obviously the challenges of climatic change and the fact that the it is thirty percent that impacts that. And then you have this wave of technology that you know lots of ideas coming out seems like every minute but how many make sense to solving the most challenging infrastructure problems we have so what we want to do is set up a challenge that wasnt per sprich you have to have so many electric vehicles and autonomous we didnt want to do one where we spread out a bunch of resources like Peanut Butter but shift the open from a resounding active patch the road kind of forward thinking treatment how transportation should be in this country over the next several decades and so this is an urgent challenge even though you have to think the problems of that region there are not entirely unique and through this champ were trying to think for the country how can we start to tackle those problems so the smart city champ is trying to shift our thinking into proactive kind of mindset we didnt know how many folks will apply that 7 or 8 applications and intending to reduce the number of if not i was to 5 cities we upped it to 7 the applications with or were to good and San Francisco is part of 7 and in the next week or so close out the application for the phase two and hope to make a final decision this summer. Couple of things people ask how do you win how do you win it is more art than science to be honest and knowing your community what the challenges and be a clear about what those challenges and what you think the solutions should be and Everything Else builds ill not get stuck on who what items are the most eye popping but how much is placed on the real problems and actually solve them the technology we think 19 are tools but not were not doing had this for Technology Sake but to solve our mobility challenges so thats essentially the smart city challenge in a nut shell we will announce the westerners in the summer and im here, here to listen to you ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. And my team a great group of folks mark and michael daily and kevin monroe you raise your hands a little bit youll be interacting with this and with that, im going to turn it over to mayor and look forward to what i have to say and colleagues. Thank you mr. Secretary appreciate those remarks were excited to hoot this round table were going to talk about the challenge and what we are doing at a highlevel and talk about the partnerships look like and we want to give you an opportunity to entertain or anyone to have an interaction with that, ill punt to ed reiskin for your mta. Thanks tom and mr. Secretary and mr. Mayor i think i should be calling myself secretary of transportation of San Francisco instead of the director the urgency of the transportation that was mentioned mr. Secretary i and many know we hear everyday and our approach to the smart city challenge is leveraging a number of strengths we believe we have here in the city we have great local, regional, state leadership when it comes to transportation and mobility challenges we have we have extremely strong policy goals in this region regarding safety and feasibility, affordability be regarding transportation and mobility, regarding accessibility and we also have been an amazing depth of partners from economic and nonprofit and private sector many share the policy goals and bring to bear a lot of amazing talent, knowledge and experience and depth we that we can bring together you made reference to technology as a tool the means not the end were a hot bed of innovation in the city not all of the innovation has been in line with the policy goals we see the great opportunity here through the smart city challenge to be proactive to align the policy goals with the integrity from the academics if our nonprofits partners and advocates so we can achieve those and address some of the urgent needs particularly with those more disadvantaged and challenged we have no shortage of those in San Francisco in the bay area and we have been doing a lot of within our transit and another strength we have a city transportation does want that has aide transportation that regulates the go pathways and all the surface Transportation One one house and city and county were able to throw that address a lot of issues of equity and affordable affordability and cast that lens a whole challenge of partnerships as not per scripture to cities and not to our community as the mayor mentioned taking that challenge and rolling it to the community through the Community Challenge grant so thats kind of the principles of our approach we want to commend ask tim from the chief architect to explain with a little bit more detail about the challenge. Good morning, everyone what we are trying to do understand what the challenge and bring it through the San Francisco lens and then think about how best utilized for the rest of the country and world and San Francisco is one of the challenges we have a fundamental issue with the transportation it is held across the country and inaudible go affordability crisis getting hotter and hotter in San Francisco safety challenges. Weve seen the Transportation System is one of the greenest in the country has a high proportion we have improved dramatically we still have a long way to go and 20 percent household depended on transportation if we can reduce that by a little bit and do an Environmental Impact report our envision is bold mr. Secretary were way above to launch the shared connectivity and Transportation System this is our north star the reason the current transportation mode is not working too much congestion and nothing coordinated and depending on the landscape on parking and driving up the cost of development and the cost of getting around we think the series of challenges well share it is robust in our goals and building up and sdrashth the technology in scale well start seeing things changing with our Street Network and next time the structure of land to public spaces and open space and imagine plastering around the downtown they transform to housing they care about this is a transformation and a long term vision in the short term pilots to get us there and by the core values San Francisco has of core values with the transportation and not new legacy that is kept on since the 19 san jose active safety is global and we think trading digital building up the digital category for everyone not just for those who can afford it and the Transportation System we want to get things integrated so that the sustainability outcomes will be sustainable our goal is the tower of 10 we want to shift 10 percent over to transit shared mobility and active transportation and we know we can do this in the last 10 years we went from 6 percent of private vehicle trips and 40 percent mobility trips to 50 have in 2014 and getting 10 percent more with this strategy with reduced tallies by the same numbers by the vision zero and technology can get us there and reduce the emissions by working through the system and ultimately to reduce this the cost of getting around this is the best thing for everyone and make San Francisco were working to do this were creating a San Francisco smart City Infrastructure and jay will talk about that bringing in the best of government and berkley and environmental departments to get us challenges we dont center all the answers thats the reason for the demonstration project and 3 types regional pilots and city pilots and neighborhood challenge pilots they build up each other with the urban use alone and just a snapshot well build on what we have empty seats optimize and trek if i them and together we want the 9 to 5 how to get people back home were looking improving the wifi because we have a lot of people with smart phones they cant afford the plan and this is with the technology to create that assess for people to get to that mobility and last but not least the shared mobility in the neighborhood all of the shed mobility where people dont have to use a car or drive themselves around but this takes money and time this is the nut of our application and heres some works so the transport having the modes together on one platform and associate not just Good Transportation but the friends and family embedded in their appointment in the household and minimize the signatures by the city electrifying is and minimize the costs of businesses and the receipt of good idea thats what were doing and close by saying investment in all the u. S. City were the center of innovation in the world and more Technology Companies and more quality with the schajz changes than millionaire and a track record about investment and equity how we think in San Francisco and a track record of innovation whether grants or develop sf parks with the demand management and we partner are uc berkley so there is Good Opportunity to tie into the early adoption cultural with the system a Good Opportunity and we also have strong confidence in Risk Management and recently because of uc berkley were strong reputation of managing highly Sensitive Data and partnerships are the National Transportation official to get this information and with the members of the urban street guidelines is common place for transit street design improvements and lastly uc berkley having this tech program spread the information across not only the city in the u. S. But all over the world thats the reason to invest in San Francisco and want to close were the inner improvement for the nation we see this and everybody here is because of that have felt so were committed and look forward to delivering on our promise. Thank you, tim appreciate that tim referred to our lead partner uc berkley the mayor talked about i want to mention that clearly the values you guys have in the challenge grant are key this the San Francisco is using and uc berkley around those values well start and im going to turn it over to to susan the other partner the director the research at the uc berkley to talk about the specification. Thank you mr. Mayor and mr. Secretary ill tell you that with migrant challenge comes chaos if chaos a vision and this is a grand challenge we dont typically put together 20 million proposals this took a lot of effort i think that working with the worldclasscy Say University hope to create a worldclass city for the future i want to tell you this city and our University Equity is part of our dna were unpolicy allergic and i want to a few things about the research we want to commend share tim shared the power of 10 reduce trips by tennessee e 10 percent and emissions by 10 percent and collisions and fatalities by 10 percent and want to have the Household Expenses of low income residents by 10 percent we have a 3 tiered approach we believe in scale so start with the regional scale and city and neighborhood scale we absolutely feel those levels scale must come together who what is a model platform that is replicated and customized our approach also builds on the feedback control this inspired us were not going to rely on Technology Well not use argues u justice the supply approach that relies on cameras and the traditional forms of Transportation Management well go well beyond that by focusing on demand Martin Luther king in a way that has not demonstrated before and this feedback control is going to give us the opportunity to id like to take the opportunity monitor the system and optimize that with the goal of 10 Percent Energy feedback a lot of pilots ive worked on many, many pilots as many of the colleagues from uc berkley have the pilots are fixed not dynamic and everything about our proposal on the supply and demand is indeed dynamic there are 16 pilot projects embedded if this proposal theyre all adaptable from the feedback from our citizens and Technology Partners and so we envision this as an italian there maybe winners and losers thats research if he knew with we were doing when with we started it wouldnt be research thats a quote by Albert Einstein so we think well encounter success a in some cases maybe those pilots are not system another big point i want to mention 40 million proposal requires us to enlist a massive set of multi experts and planners and engineers weve done this proposal so again get this ill walk through the 5 key method the behavorial and equity impacts i had the pleasure of leading and connected vehicle Analysis Data mobility architecture my colleagues professor will be leading, our safety Impact Analysis and data privacy analysis at uc berkley we are going to do bring in expert if all of our schools Business Schools and law school and Engineering School and policy school, Planning School to do this work we have many hypotheses an example on demand late night shuttle and 67 van shuttle will increase equity an Afterschool Program lowering the commute times and cost of travel and improving quality of life weve designed metrics toe test all hi pockets and assembled sensor and survey data that will be warehouseed and managed in the vision to make that a common platform and finally id like to conclude as to me did with our vision for transfer we think that with a grand challenge we have a grand opportunity to share our knowledge countrys and across the globe weve partnered it is uc berkley with the National Resource for stakeholder engage on climatic and experts an Advisory Committee we want to make sure we are capturing the full spectrum of the impacts and this Stakeholder Group will help keep us on track and working groups to share our knowledge and also envision completing a best practices guide and finally at uc berkley we are deeply committed to the future and to our students and we really want to develop a program that will enable us to transform our current transportation planners and engineer into big data and city scientists of the future before i conclude id like to give my colleagues alex an opportunity to also emphasis the role of the university. Thank you, mr. Mayor and mr. Secretary for being here briefly we want to commend convey im truly excited to see this this is unusual for the Charter School to be in this stage personally worked that the mayor and also were in the second hat convey we have a whole team of people working behind us the Smart Program with reuben and the moekt program briefly i think the asset that the university brings is the discipline the team and the schools to execute the program that susan putt together and as one of the lead public universities were excited to philosophical our public goal through the system. Thank you, alex and susan mr. Secretary our mayor has pushed as you as the department to look at ever challenge and opportunity with every opportunity and stress to been partnership and clongs he said very ocher is collective responsibility and collective knowledge we created id like to turn to one of our staff the chief Initiative Officer to talk about that. Thank you collin and secretary fox and mr. Mayor were open by default we recognize the challenges that we face in our city and society are not solved by any one organization we need to work with the best and brightest inside and outside of we know how to partner weve been working with other organizations and Community Partners to create tangible impacts ill share two examples one first of its kind called start up and residents that embeds them within government to create products and services with a tremendous response three hundred startups and 40 challenges issued and created a huge impact i mentioned this because this methodology of problems sourcing and president obama and learning is the same methodology we want to use in this marketing champ and work with the community our mayor ed lee mentioned our Community Challenge Grant Program we have that has part of institution and know how to work with the neighborhood and groups and work with them open creating exclusions u solutions and implementing those solutions thats why were excited to announce the creation of Smart City Institute with with uc berkley and the foundation were creating this platform to bring together academic partners other governments, industry partners, and Community Partners this platform is really going to advance and shape the future of mobility this institute and secretary fox was capitalized by this grant and its initial focus on moeblth but goes beyond mobility in the challenges in the society whether climatic change we want to are create this platform and bring the best and brightest to tackle overseeing problems when you been the institutions this Public Institutions that San Francisco and uc berkley fundamental to who we are around equity equal opportunity and safety so weve talked about this and this is part of dna and as a testament to our commitment around the smart city we partnered with the Edward Mcmann and cam are not only and others with the foundations to create super public this is where the new institute will be housed at the plaza and across the street from city hall two minutes walk we need if proximity and able to work to solve 244 thousand square feet of space to collaborate a collaboration sprays meant to break down the city losses and you think about the levels of government we dont, about the federal, state, and local we have those laws those collaboration will breakdown that secretary fox the d o it operationally is on the same floor theyre modern ingress government well be working together on the same floor with the shared challenges and so i want to recognize g s a for this vision they want to take this vision to other cities and real estate they can find real estate in other cities 4 million secret to bring detroit and others cities but starts here first and i want to thank the administrator denise and this platform that were creating at super public and the installed institute around Community Engagement we know how to engage our Community Around equity and creating opportunities for all thank you jay. Mr. Secretary youve heard about the partnership and how the city is pulling the depth together and engagement in the community and jay alludes to the Business Partners we want to hear from them and first from google to talk about why they want to be involved sarah. Thanks for having us were excited and i know as you may know and work your Department Safety is really the main conversation around the vehicles and thats totally right are the cars safe enough weve focused on so far i think what is excited about this challenge in particular had you it was put together but not just safety but how those vehicles get used to have the positive impacts we want to see the opportunities for people to get to work and access to jobs the opportunities for elder you know to answer those questions about how do we sure this temp enables people from having access to the things that so many people take for grant thats the policy questions were excited to work with the city were very collaborative on all this i think that partnership is a legal art and means Different Things to different people we all know this technology is really, really going to come into a partnership we cant not work with the city this whole process formalized something and give us a platform for to do it thank you it also exciting. Thank you sarah. I want to call on fred. So i have to apologize im not prepared to speak i know this a brainstorming session so ill make something up and leave for any colleague the panthers cant have you laughter well, im from chicago, of course, your president steve got that someone once said that policies are local i dont know who said that all smart city implementations are local there is simply no other way for those things to work when you think about technology to solve problems as an entry have the consultant to design and pilot and build ones and configure and install many times and we as a Service Organization serve many cities that we serve your administration and proud of doing all that we think that is an end there is something Central Special there the smart city and Innovation Foundation we believe will allow us to do something that will be scaleable and repeatable and allow us to not only take a lead Global Warming but to serve many other cities around the country specifically the transportation as a service tim put up pictures models of it i believe very much a lot of strength and power behind that well meet a lot of the goals we serve were excited to be here to be across the street and to be part of this thank you. Mr. Secretary thats our presentation we want to ask you or your team it we have any questions so many people around the table and your comments as well. Anxious to ask a couple of questions im curious about a few things theres a lot first of all, let me compliment you on the incredible collaboration i see here and the vision you have for institutionalizing this collaboration is pretty impressive theres a lot of tension i see an individual mobility i wonder whether there is a freight aspect to what youre working towards and what you thought about. Tim. I can answer that mr. Secretary well, looking how to package the Transportation Solutions to the Small Business and were seeing a proliferation of deliveries in San Francisco and all over the country and many are responsible were trying to figure out how optimize that and where theyre coming from and going to getting a better handle we dont know frank what the landscape looked like and an approach how to target those areas to peel back the congestion or the delivery a real policy approach. Can i ask i think about this project 24 7. I believe you have four pilot projects that youll see that addresses the goods everything from safety to distribution to the pier to pier networks. One of the other this is more of a comment than a question but one of the reasons why we wanted to place focus on the local level for this challenge is that one of our biggest con stranlts on addressing mobility needs across the country is the sister low effect at federal and state level we know highway performances and transit performance we know Commuter Rail performance and a lot of things about bike but in terms of overall system performance it is something local government has to do we should be doing a better job but dont have a set of tools for understanding overall mobility and this is i think this is going to be a continuing challenge nationally but we kind of predetermined what we on the mobility needs for the country are and if we use data to show you ill give you an example when i he was mayor of charlotte any city engineers we need a phil road two lanes in both distributors well reduce that to 3 and make the middle lane a turn lane i said youre out of your mind it wont work they do analytic and it worked so sometimes, we think as policymakers will get changed by what the facts tells you but i wanted to convey to you one of the really important things we need to know about mobility Going Forward is what really will make a difference at the federal level i dont want you to presuppose we can answer that question better than you can if you can give us tools for understanding different ways to analyze that i think that will only help federal policy gordons this is a big need ill get off any soapbox but in conclusion get blasted back in washington for saying 24 well ultimately have to have a result driven set of policies at the federal level say heres the goals and federal government naught i figure out how to get there well not tell you to add a highway you develop a system in a way this cage is sort of forcing some of the challenges but on a grassroots level. Ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Any mr. Secretary and mr. Mayor, thank you tilly chang build off the concept and presenter our initial thought on knowing your community and understanding the challenges they face at the ground level and how to provide that technical design so that the solution is respond to the needs the Transportation Authority is comprised of the 11 members of the board of supervisors who work with the mayor those values are shared city values i want to convey were committed to support that dialogue at a National Conversation how to address all those complex message to work in partnership with sfmta and other agencies on addressing the neighborhood challenges to the neighborhood Transportation Program things like negative impact district 6 our central south of market area 70 percent of trips are through trips we have numbered streets overview has an off ramp or onramp speak about the traffic slow those are the things that working together with sfmta and our regional partners in fact, 50 percent of San Francisco workforce is regional so absolutely bringing that collection of expertise together from the government does and working if partnership with the private sector in terms of the analytic and technical experience and the pilot with us, yes theres a chances chance for failure with the families that are living in the zones that are experiencing those impacts we think we can help thank you. Thank you. Want to make sure from our team any questions specifically for the secretary hes offered to answer . Tim. You okay. All right. laughter . Hi thank you mr. Secretary for coming out and thank you, mr. Mayor for hooting and all the great work i sit optimize the board of directors with sfmta appointed by mr. Mayor and the supervisors i want to reiterate the equity lens as a partnership lens that we have a history of bringing on here in San Francisco and throughout the region you can rest assure the partnerships have with the community weve done around the city and a track record when i was on the board we heard the need for reporting in San Francisco with our buses and what we did you know something that came from the grassroots up and you know thanks to the leadership in mta and throughout the city we did that that was sort of a dramatic thing not oakland and other agencies will connect throughout the region and done purposes i come if a Organization Called transform that partners with the community and right now, were working on open Mayors Office of housing and infrastructure with the mtc to get the Community Buy in these to fund the transportation solution this is built open a history of creating partnerships transform and other partners like we have throughout the city are going to make sure about all of the work comes from the ground up and the solutions to those transportation issues come from the community and are done with partnership with the ct a and the mta and other partners another wonderful solution that the mayor come up with the Free Transportation for youth that was tremendous from the grassroots with help from google and a lot of the partnerships weve demonstrated a real usership and make that permanent has part of the budget those covets seclusions from the community and make sure we amble if i in this model for the rest of the country thank you. Mayor. Mr. Secretary im glad you had a taste of what were proposing we want to say that you know in thinking through this entire collaboration i know our federal and regional partners are wishing gosh we should have this constantly to be a part of whether the state or regional level ill say from the private sector what we have smart City Industry leaders coming in we have one hundred and 50 local Bay Area Companies that joined and measured their pledges and candidates should we be a part of this successful grant that their pledging up to over 93 million of their effort to compliment the possible possibility of 40 to 50. Up to 99. Up to 99 okay laughter i know thats what this came challenge is awakened i think you made that that way we can demonstrate that not only will our region au wage the models we proposed through the institute will cause so much others to lift their entire game up i think that i dont take it as controversy the Oriented Approach by the federal government is precisely what we need to allow us the collaboration not be catch up in old ways of thinking of improving thank you to you and president obama for this opportunity were putting our best foot forward not only hope we know that well be successful because of the things that have been caused to succumb together with all the partnerships thank you. Mayor thank you so much great to be here with i i want to thank you all for your hard it taken energy and have effort and thought and its very infest to see what youre doing and on behalf of the president charged me with trying to be as good a steward the transportation what youre doing is an example of really the Sleeping Giant of america starting to she thought into a proactive position and get after Southern California the problems we have so were very excited to see what youre doing thank you very much clapping. thank you to secretary fox he meant what i said this challenge has awakened initiative juices and generally transportation component if usually are working in silos state and federal and local stuff i think this challenge has caused us to redesign the ways to come together for the benefit of the country be a smart city has a result so you kind of saw an example from what this is causing us to do very positive way were embracing this challenge of the best obviously with the ac dam miff thank you to secretary fox and president obama positives from this challenge and hopefully other cities will do this i will say that the things we want to do to make it sustainable and greater and things we all need continue to demonstrate that. Mayor thank you very much and obviously this is been an impressive assembly belligerent of were grateful to you put together a great team and folks want to know how to win this thing your view is ever city that puts its best foot forward and thinks about the problems they face and the opportunities that still sit before us through technology and innovation to improve transportation those cities win by virtue of everything i said is very consistent with that so with that, why not take a few questions and look forward to answering those questions. Thank you for coming can you talk a little bit about the roll the value of the role of uc berkley with the city. Well, what berkley is going bringing to the table is something that is sorely needed in transportation a rigorous set of eyeing and rigor around how various proposed solutions to mobility challenges actually work you know for most of history of transportation we could be assume that if you have a train that goes you know faster that people will get places faster or a car faster people will get there faster were in the third or Fourth Quarter of champs 2, 3, 4 america where our infrastructure is relatively con strapped and now like fingers on the hand we have to make sure that those things are acting more as one because the hole whole can be greater the sum of the parts and the rigorous decigarette butt of the parts work individually and together will give us more information and help us make much more in a more sophisticated fashion how were investing and what were investing and how it is working together and how well the planning at the local level is creating better mobility it is big time. With this challenge and the ac dam challenge with berkley we need other challenges not just were not just going to win as San Francisco so the ability to have a center a Research Center that document everything that tests hi pockets this is lets get something that works for everybody that cause others cities across the country to improve their entire systems for the right reasons and principles thats why berkley is so important we need to have everything we do be archived and shared with other cities and countries president to feel what is true innovation about not just the solicited moment of success that sometimes cities get when their fwrand a transportation project i think secretary and the president on the igniting to the country and demonstrating that on a proven basis we get better answers. The role of federal government in replicating the successes and what are the winning cities say San Francisco does amazing new things how does that like what method by which other cities and policies that are a local level or fill in. Look i think that the mayor has spoken to this weve heard this from several cities on the tour by putting the challenge out there in the first place the federal government is ignited a conversation at the local level what is possible with transportation in solving our mobility challenges i cant tell you thou flatfooted weve been as a country notwithstanding were home to some of the most impressive innovators in the world if you look at the basic policies and programs of the federal government many of them are older than 40 or 50 years so the transportation factor heretofore is lagging cart of innovation and part of what were trying to do make it a london Breed Program were experiencing more congestion and thirty percent of Green House Gas emissions are attributable to the transportation so theres a lot of work for us to do to clean up and make that satisfy and more efficient and i think this challenge in and of itself has created this kind of conversation in 78 cities across the country whoever wins the challenge other cities will be going to that city trying to replicate some of the definition they do trying to thinks how to adapt some of the ideas and quite frankly were hearing some of the cities are attracted to them and taking the practices from 0 those cities and using them thats the kind of urgency we think that necessary and 0 no more flexible level of government than the local level. With the in regard population inaudible overcrowded and one solution transportation has is effected the at the time of trial with the reputation back the idea of putting inaudible . Look you know we rely heavy on the consensus to form that he local level for various transit projects and i think weve shown a willingness to take aggressive steps to help not only this area by every area across the country to solve the mobility challenges i expect no different but starts with the local leadership and the community developing the solutions and we will follow your lead in that respect. So the bay bridge that was frequently by safety problems over serve years ago whats your opinion on the oversight. Well, i dont know the details about what was done or would have been done i have a great federal Highway Administration well certainly look at that and maybe provide you with a more detailed response later today. Is i wanted to highlight the proposal. Look i think a cough of things you do have some significant transportation challenges here and i think all of the cities in one form or another were picked for finalists demonstrated the transportation challenges and also have as the other set of cities a compatibility for addressing overseeing challenges and demonstrating a record of Community Engagement of collaboration cross the levels of government between the public and private sector a willingness to partner to get things done and you know theres also think aspect of our proposal that you know takes Community Input and perhaps uses some novel ways of reilly listening to the community and trying to hear from folks at the grassroots levels what kinds of solutions theyre looking for and that continues obviously in the next phase we havent gotten the second application for the final phase it is still being worked on what i heard today is kufrj. This is a troofrm active proposal with a lot of because of sharing how how do you sell drivers on the ideas you know people look at the congestion tell them how this looks at. You know for that part i know were approaching this in a really multiple mode but in terms of the individual driver you know being someone with whose a resident or work working in the bay area you have to understand that when people spend two hours a single contributor person in an automobile through the bay bridge or 101 or 90 on the other side theyve got to be thinking how to pend their time better and the environment and think about why they cant get home and spend time with the kids or get to that classroom theyre trying to improve themselves because of that congestion and i do believe that we to theyre very pencil interests when we suggest that shared mobility the ability to assess rather than have to own with all of the economic pressures there is the more freedom that you inherit by being partnering in a much more shared way about transportation i think can convince someone today spending hours on the road and wondering what in the heck is the quality of life of their lives all about we suggested the quality of life should be up whether working in a restaurant or hotel hotel or in their Technology Company or sport group and i am excited that people can have this idea this the same car that they might use an hour later tropt their spouse and kids to something they need and in the average get to go home and perhaps in the evening their favorite restaurant done with the same car with the denied pielt with a stimund not wonder whether the kid is not experiencing a dangerous situation because theyre out on an event that might be i think the autonomous connected vehicles that is affordable and eligible that is assessable has i think for the future a fabulous conversation with people what is effecting their lives and makes them so nerves or over stressed. If for some reason San Francisco should not be aware the inaudible to make any of this well, you know, i think this is something ive talked to secretary fox obviously the awakening of this opportunity is not just the money but also the commitment and the mindset were creating right now because i think an opportunity for us to look at how to sustain this kind of approach to the large future transportation we should be doing this we actually should be doing this outside of the grant the grant seems is i think gait something exist if we both learn from this obviously when good ideas and people come together for the right reasons there should be a reward whether financial or otherwise i think were going through this go process how do we award this incredible response to the countries champions i think that rises above what that might be an economic challenge thousand to keep this going. Great thanks everybody good to be you with and good luck to the warriors tonightday. Thank you, everyone and thank you for joining us on this round table discussion about our plans to reflect in our budget please reform support as well as Public Safety and violence preservation this morning, im joined and say thank you to the president of the Police Commission commissioner president loftus that are speaking on the topics of Police Reforms the commission is leading and ive succeed her and chief suhr to present a package of reforms not only the mario woods but the other Police Officers shootings and how to do better in terms of having less lethal preechz to those situations and subtle keep your officers save and the public safe and also evolve around the same thing it of life at the principle center of our discussions i also want to say thank you youll hear 23 reverend brown from the in that naacp to being here and the president of our africanamerican Advisory Group advising obvious on the Police Reform and ongoing work their involved in on violence preservation i have also allen and known as aj our director of our rode map to peace working closely with us pertaining on violence prevention and brad who is your case manager for a program called ipo interrupt and predict and oversees one of my pillar programs i introduced as a result of con verlgz with a lot of Community Groups to help to have felt in the community and not just in the stature of the Police Department but more police and investing in our communities to make sure that we have a horrific approach to violence preservation and the training and jobs and trauma are interruptions, and working with families through the health department. Human services and the Family Department so theyll all be joining let me begin by assessing again that these Police Reforms mr. Farrell in the light of the shooting of mr. Woods the outcome and the strong input by various Community Groups the need to look at everything were doing and our approach to both keeping your public safe and having less lethal force so having to make sure that our officers are without bias be that implicit or intentional we provide them with training and tools to make sure that were abiding by and adopting if not embracing those reforms that are at the heart of every major city in the country and one he worksheet to be ahead of and engaged in as i said earlier i asked in light of that we be provided and the chief and the president of the commission has respondent very well with the pageant of reforms we have agreed only adopting and at the heart good part of that to make sure we have the resources to implement this in a serious way we have appropriate oversight 2, 3, 4 making sure it is transparent and thats an honest approach that is one that had been adopted not only by the commission not only by the management of of our Police Department but every officers to respect those reforms and make sure their implemented thats why beer working with a number of Community Groups in order to make sure this it is transparent and it begins with identifying those resources today, well also at the fwip of those conversations with the department of justice as you may know i have invited without condition the department of justice and in particular we wrote and talked directly with the highest Law Enforcement office in the country the attorney general lynch and invited and asked to look along with the u. S. Department of justice cops program both sides with there they twoish and had the reason with a look at patterns and practice or do a thorough investigation and review of everything this is going on with our department by way of policy, practices, patterns, trend, training, transparency, accountability in their own determination thus thats why well keep the option open for pattern and practice investigation theyre looking into the officerinvolved shooting incidents but as a parallel they have determined that they want to putter their resources and attention into a full cops review which is a review of all of our programs within the Police Department they are looking at each and everyone of the recommends and their adding to it as of yesterday the announced the first review of those reform packages and have guven us early indications of trends or areas we ought to be focused on i also want to say this is as well im aware of and he will no less than our president of our commissions looking at a detailed way in the da Blue Ribbon Commission report i havent had a chance to look at it in there will it is orchard and preliminary i look forward to read the entire report and give my gut with the continued input from the Community Members and the Advisors Group we are especially working closely with, as well as cops review, and any other reviews that might occur outside of the two or three investigations ongoing today is about now and then a package of budgetary approaches to making sure that while we are announced those reforms were putting the serious levels of resources in and as you may know we it do too year budgeting die we are making sure that our bucket for the next two years reflects some 17 and a half Million Dollars dedicated to Police Reform and violence preservation in the next two years for the Police Department basically broke down into 3 buckets, if you will, the bulk is 11 and a half Million Dollars reflects what i have truly believe to, something that keeps our city safe it invests in the right things thats your major violen Violence Prevention Program within that programs they lack the road map to peace the imp the interrupt of trastania practices that might lead to more violence and studying very closely with the 4uk9 is with communitybased programs to make sure we followup nominal with traumatized families but also with risk kids people we know having study this over and over for many, many decades we kind of know the attributes of challenged families are in the city we conceive know from statistics where theres going to be more violence those conditions that we studied usually lead tee higher levels of violence pause dispute resolution, support in the community for alternative transportation to violence, even basic saying there is an alternative to entering into on a daily basis those violent consortiums can be met with appropriate followup to traumatized families making sure that the next kin the retro bugs the part of champs that occur with any shootings in the community or violate acts not only do we interrupt those patterns but offer them alternative transportation to that and engage that very sense of dialogue minus prospective by eve alternative transportation thats 11 and a half Million Dollars worth not just the tighten but the appropriate interruptions but the followup to these families that are traumatized that to be able to seek alternative transportation to resident buttocks and seek alternative transportation to the kinds of things and patterns and practices we know if we dont Pay Attention it gets worse and a lot of has to do with with young people has to do with with a lot of ways in which we are able to engage dialogue with our youth and say look whats happening in your life you feel your only option to respond with a violence or ingratiate something that happened years ago if we offer alternative transportation to that oftentimes it takes a lot of focus on following up with families that are hurt that are traumatized and dont see a lot of the ongsz and on to day to day basis the people that folks trust whether Health Advisors or advisors or Public Housing residents or welfare or day to day contacts with people in helping them finds jobs and alternative transportation and have to keep that positive dialogue going as an alternative is both necessary appropriate, and one that i on intersections prohibit my personal values to talk people into convincing them and providing them with alternative transportation that their families will encourage those individuals that might fwaej in the activities to have considered those alternative transportation we also do that in collaboration with our Police Department sometimes our officers are engaging that discussion and they might not be the front line people but sometimes that he are they can actually is in followup to their investigations they say hey families are hurt can we get our Crisis Intervention Teams and peep on the ground to talk in a very culturally competent way to bring the families into the fold of trying to help them and this is where both trust is built but also the conversations their alternative transportation this is 11 and a half employed of 017 commitment on involuntariness preservation and reforms another bucket of the two year bucket commitment is a very focused on the Police Reforms weve articulated a good part is training of the officers part of page that commissioner president loftus will speak in detail training our officers with the leadership of not only the chief and command staff but with the commission to oversee those programs that focus on didnt bias and focus on programs that makes sure that the training is embedded in our officers, making sure they center the tools and equipment and the other to do this actually done and in this we have not only didnt bias training but have basis programs that leads to what we often refer to as in terms of avoiding the kind of connotations that led to violence or the prospective of integrating the lethal force has to do with with retraining of our officers in ways in which they are geneva the time and distance and protect themselves and public and fwaej in a principle of as a sanctity as a principle as well as maneuvering that they can give themselves the opportunity to look at other alternative transportation that might lead to less lethal force on the streets this is for this is at the heart of our relationship with our a. M. Advisory committee they so you get the need for retraining of this it also gives someone last week officer chaplain the head of the new training the opportunity to train properly as a new deputy chief of the kinds of programs that will yesterday in the officers to get the appropriate training and particularly those engaged in crisis intervention and First Responders to the calls to help that Opening Statements are engaged under a situation that might be turning into some 1r0i7b89 connotations be it wven the community and oftentimes the officers are called to present that from happening and the last budget, if you will, is slightly under 2 million about 1. 8 million package is something that everyone including our Advisory Group your package reforms and all the Consultant Groups put in a bucket the accountability everything should be done that transparencyly and deliberately but also theres a followup that when we announce those things their Small Business and so dependent oversight there can be an accountable of 2 we believe the accountability can work beefdz up the board of supervisors and the commission and my office and the chief are supporting the expansion and the role of your office of office of citizens complaints we insured our chief as they investigate she be given adequate tools and investigative arms to be able to do that and that one . 8 Million Department for the next two years allows her to increase her staff by 5 investigators four on the ground and one senior investigator she feels not only the accountability will be reflect in her dependent office but other resources well be paying detailed attendance to that that is the 3 large buckets, if you will, of the 7 and a half Million Dollars commitment for the next two years it is necessary that not only to we do this but pults the financial 250ek9d in all the reforms were seeking and all the priorities we are seeking and that again reflects the vails that i believe are appropriate for the city and this is Community Policing and Pedestrian Safety and Police Reforms has to do with with investing in Community First if we do that we put the people first that had been our strong guide with that, let me introduce someone that is a strong chlorite and shes holding leave femurs as well as poifr about the board of supervisors and testimony and the details about this this is the president of our mr.
