Thats important because metro now gets control of its tracks once again, can start making repairs and get Yellow Line Service restored. As far as what happened learning more about that too. The ntsb makes a number of key points about yesterdays frightening and confusing episode. This was an electrical issue involving the third rail and power supply cables to the third rail. Some sort of electrical arcing incident which is essentially a big spark and pop happened. It happened in a tunnel about 800 feet south of the Lenphant Plaza amount of smoke to tour into the tunnel and the train. There was not a fire on the train. The train did not redeath rail. Michael flanagan, lead ntsb investigator describing the issue. The third rail runs along the side of the track and at various points there are cables that connect that third rail to the power source of the pump station.

I requested this item to be heard to get an update Media Relations with the San Francisco Unified School District but also to get an update on muni service to the students. San Francisco Unified School District we are constantly asking ourselves how well were serving our students so its natural we would inquire how the City Services are doing and we educate 57,000 School Children and the majority fall within the federal poverty guidelines and many are dependent on Public Transportation it to and from school.

With the increase of San Francisco residents for the past four years every year and our population increased by 10,000 new residents i think it would be interesting to see how the residents have impacted muni service if at all and what is the Current Service to the students particularly on city schools and how are the decisions made. We thank you fo
Mendoza. Thank you. First i really want to thank united way and dcyf and department of Workforce Development for all of the work around this.

Having said that theres a lot that still needs to get done. I think part of what we have been talking about as a team is how do we ensure that those internship programs that exist is folded into the work were already doing, so we have departments that created their own so we have been working more closely with people and project
