They were involved in capital planning, they also told us we needed to delay our discussion of local integrative buildout that wed been talking about before i got involved in 2013, until that was done. Those were done. It didnt happen. And were now on the next cycle of those. And i can only imagine that were going to hear folks wanting to wait for the first s. F. P. U. C. Plan, and for them to put out their getting to 2030 i. R. P. , before we start looking at what we might like to do. You know, if we take over pg es infrastructure, clean power s. F. Wont even exist. So all of the stuff theyre doing will be for naught. We as the city, including s. F. P. U. C. , but external of silos, like clean power s. F. , we need to be looking at what we want to get to. [buzzer] and how all of the cylinders of the city can work to get there. That will be the same whether it is clean power s. F. , whether it is public power. I think it is time to break out from letting one part of the City Government to sit on this issue, which has been happening for six, seven, eight years. We need to have this happen at the 30,000foot view. Im hoping that the [buzzer] chairwoman thank you very much. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, the Public Comment is now closed. Mr. Clerk, can you please call item number seven. Item seven is Public Comment. Chairwoman any members of the public like to make comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Mr. Clerk, item number eight. Item eight is future agenda items . Chairwoman any future items to note . Mr. Global. I want to bring it to everyones attention that i am expecting a fairly long agenda at our next meeting on september 20th. Were going to have several presentations, including some of the work that lavcos interns have been doing around programs for communities of concern with clean power s. F. , and also some of the local buildout projects that have been previously considered, and well be bringing a presentation to you on that for background. Chairwoman colleagues, please note on your agendas that that meeting will take at least three hours, and to allot that amount of time so we can give our full attention to all of the work the interns have been doing. Any other items on a future agenda. Seeing none . How about Public Comment on this. The september meeting sounds like my kind of meeting. Eric brooks with all of the groups i mentioned before. Now i want to talk about you may need to call a special meeting in august. And that will be around legislation. As you heard, ab1054 passed, along with a companion bill, ab111. You should take a look at both bills. Ab1054 does not just outrageously block public power. What it does is even when the monopoly utility like pg e, even when its equipment is at fault for starting a fire, it guarantees that there will be a 21billion fund that ratepayers will pay half of to pay for fires. Thats not the way it used to be. The way it used to be, whenever it was pg es fault or their equipment, pg e paid, and had to work really hard to get any rate increases to pay for part of that. Thats not even the worst part. Once that 21 billion fund is exhausted, and we spent in the last two years 30 billion on the current wildfires that just happened in two years. If we go above the 21 billion, 1054 allows the monopoly utilities to do their own private bonds and link those to ratepayer increases to pay any further wildfire costs. [buzzer] so consumers, costumers, ratepayers will end up paying more than 50 of costs they are not responsible for. The reason that matters to our local buildout is that the more and to other Community Choice programs starting up the more ratepayer have to pay, the less theyre willing to do clean power s. F. [buzzer] chairwoman any other Public Comment. Any other items before us . Madam chair, there is no further business. Chairman thank you very much. This meeting is adjourned.

This is a presentation. Good morning, eric cordova here to discuss the leadership update, led by tida as well as caltrans, basically. Basically, the concept that you have in front of you shows the three Major Construction projects that are about to embark here and actually already started. Im going to start from the top of the screen there that shows the michaela road construction. It is planned to be completed by the spring or summer of next year. There we go. My apologies. The project that the Transportation Committee has been leading is the offroading of that off ramp, and the realignment project, taking south gate road there and realigning it. And the other major project that should start probably the summertime of 2021 is the west side bridges. As you see there in kind of a light orange color, that we anticipate starting in 2021. Were at approximately 60 design. I will get into details now on all of these. Right there, what you see is basically an artists rendering of the final completed in essence construction project that were about to start hopefully this fall. Were very close in that regard. Were frankly at a point where at a primarily funded effort there. Weve been working with the state and to get the federal funds for this. Were at a point where were targeting the fall construction advertisement. Frankly, were shooting for september. Final processes here will require us to get the final funding allocations here so we can get it out to bid. Were also working with 1 Treasure Island to establish a local hire program and to get the appropriate program, so in september, when were starting to advertise this before the board in the fall, well be back to present a lot more details. This is a project thats going to take about 16 months, and theres sequencing here thats interesting here. U. S. Coast guard has security here where they put us in a position. This project, deemed the south gate project, will be completed here. And then, we will move on to the next project, which is the west side bridges project. Total cost, 83 million, and once again, primarily funded with federal and state funds with contribution from tida. As you heard in the past, we went ahead and are using the constructiongeneral contracting method. We have chosen a contractor to work with us on the final design. Were currently at 60 final design, working with them and the team to establish with what they call in the industry a guaranteed maximum price, so were working towards going on head and completing all the final design and starting construction in the 2021 time frame. Once again, i do want to add, we will have as part of our job program, local hires. We want to make sure we put in the specs local hires and aspirational goals working with 1 Treasure Island as needed. We are also studying overall bicycle and connectivity on the island. There was a proposition k9 grak9 proposition k9 grant approved. Theres some missing links for overall ped and bike connectivity on the island. Lets start on that side, which is pure e2. Thats the caltrans pier that theyre actually leaving and repurposing as a pier for the general public. Then getting folks up to vista point. Vista point is the point that is currently open to bicycles and pedestrians that is part of our y. B. I. Ramps project that we completed in the latter part of 2016. We actually opened the vista point in may 2017, so folks can come from the east bay or folks can come from vista point and go across, and what we have there is a real nice setting for folks to basically take a break, use the rest rooms, park their bikes, rest, etc. We have a shuttle established to go ahead and get folks on the weekends to make sure because during the weekend is when we have a lot more people on the island. During the week, its more at this point construction, so thats been a Success Story in that record. But the key to this is to show you the top points, and the connect data that caltrans has performed some concept development. And then down to the Ferry Terminal. Its going to Start Construction later this summer. But the thought process is to really make sure we do the proper planning so that we can facilitate bicycles and pedestrians getting down to the Ferry Terminal and getting across to San Francisco once we start Ferry Service. We anticipate having some concepts developed later this year. This is an artists rendering of what was pier e2 what is pier e2, and if you were to go out there today, you would see that its almost completed. Caltrans has gonna head and had a contract with cmtc contractor kiewit construction. What you have i just want to note on the right is the torpedo building. Supervisor walton quick question. When did the water get so blue . Thats kudos to abe, one of our graphic artists. We think thisll be a major attraction on the island. Caltrans, to their credit is almost complete with this effort. I did want to mention the historic torpedo building. It was constructed in the late 1800s, and as part of our south gate road efforts, were going to put on a new roof and seal it up as much as possible. So caltrans is anticipating opening this in the later latter part of october 2019, and well make sure we get you information and specifics. I mentioned the data and caltrans western space bicycle span. Theyve been studying the connection from the eastern span dropoff all the way to San Francisco. This is a rendering in essence what i would call the Northern Point standing on the western side of the island at the yerba buena tunnel, looking towards San Francisco. And then finally, i just want to quickly update you all because we are working on all of the issues that were brought to our attention at the end of last year and earlier this year in terms of our Affordability Program. Were updating our travel demand and financial demand analysis right now, looking at congestion, financial effects, etc. We anticipate completing this work in the latter part of the summer here, probably in that augustseptemberoctober time frame, and then go ahead and start some outreach efforts. Weve already started outreach with the business community, working with them at the ground level. We anticipate followup what we call cocreation workshops later this summer and additional outreach. And then bigger picture, were still targeting and going ahead and launching some Ferry Service, initial Ferry Service from the east bay, and paying for that with some of the tolling that we need to install and the Affordability Program up and running 2021. So thats my presentation. Any questions . Supervisor walton can you just go back to slide 7, i believe that was. Yes. Supervisor walton thats more like what we see. Yes, thats right. Thats right. Supervisor walton supervisor mandelman, do you have any questions or comments . Supervisor mandelman im very excited about this extremely pricey bike extension. I think thats more than 300 its 400. Supervisor mandelman more like 400. Although tomorrow at budget, im voting a 900 million project to install some can canopies on market street. So given the budget, maybe 400 milli million isnt as much as i think it is. Supervisor walton do we have any Public Comment on this presentation . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. We are now at the point of the agenda for any general Public Comment. Do we have anyone here in the audience for general Public Comment. Clerk we do have item 5, introduction of new items. Supervisor walton im sorry. Any introduction of new items . Sorry. I skipped number 5. Sorry. From t. A. . My apologies, and seeing no one here for Public Comment, any other items . Clerk no, theres just adjournment. Supervisor walton thank you so much. This meeting is adjourned. Mayor breed thank you all so mu. Thank you so much for joining us today. Im sheryl davis the executive director of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission and thank thankful to have you in the in this space. The hrc was created in 1964. At the time, mayor john she will she wi dg she willy was responding to local and National Organizations confronting what we walike to cl at this point in time anti blackness, really wanting to ground the fact people are always telling me this and its not something that im very comfortable talking about, but that the sthian Francisco Human Rights Commission was created because there were people that were trying to buy cars that werent allowed to buy them in this city, and those people were black people. Sometimes as we do this work, i would say africanamerican afri s and peopblack ipeople in San Francisco felt like we were continuing to forget about them and continuing to repeat bwhy Te Commission was created in the first place. So as we secelebrate the 55th anniversary of the Human Rights Commission, as we remember the 5 55th anniversary of the civil rights act, i was challenged and really encouraged to revisit why the Human Rights Commission was created and to pause during this time. Somebody says, who selcelebrats5 years . I guess we do. [ applause ]. It is an off year, but im going into my third year at the Human Rights Commission and i felt like this was a good tooim to pause and recognize the intention to call out whaen so often im in community to call out to recognize. Im really grateful at this point in time to have an amazing a administration and leadership that is creating programming that is inclusive and is focused on creating opportunity ies for everyone, creating a space for everyone and being very intention intention al about that. Im grateful to be in this work with our mayor, london bried breed. [ applause ], who as an afric africanamerican woman who grew up in San Francisco thouknow s firsthand what its like to be black 234 in San Francisco. Im sure shes seen the last black man in San Francisco more times than anyone seated here and knows people ooes fear s ot becoming a reality. I know shes offikay having thi conversation and okay in this space and that she not only has lived that experience, but is trying to make sure the experience is for the future having been part of the task force formed years years ago, but being committed to make sure that everythione is counted and represented and secelebrated. So thank you so much, mayor london breed. [ applause ]. All right. Thank you so much for coming and thank you for your patience in starting this event. First of all , i want to really thank sheryl davis for her leadership and her advocacy and for her fight for inclusiveness and making sure that no San Francisco an is left out.
