Thats why were [inaudible] center at which we are planning for additional signage and education and outreach. Social distance to wear masks and expand their obligations to prevent the virus. I would like to also update you on the former as i chaired San Francisco covid19 as well. Its my understanding that the test of potential uses and alert us when they have decided if and how they would like [inaudible] raise concerns about the terminal. My understanding, work with and notify the community once they have decided i will continue to update you on the response to the rapidly changing outbreak. With regard to operations, remain open, however, its [inaudible] by working with operators, ridership and Partners Center safe and clean staffing. As we continue to chief finance officer. Our tenants as you know, placed order, open for business temporarily closed. I reported that locations be open for business. They reported us recently that they have just converted those to however, the time line of completion. And opening retail construction, the construction phase is unknown due to the impact of the order outreach. We are able to reopen because of the actions. Our goal is to be Public Interest and i also want to be consistent with other public agencies just as others are providing in regards to the expansion project, we received an allocation from the authority in april to allow us to resume work. We expect that the San Francisco planning sorry, Pacific Rim Program by the board last month be later this month. At which time we expect to have a report. On todays agenda, which i will present later, we have an item moved by the board that allows us to use the funding with the board and to our work. Resume our work. Announcing a new hire. I am happy to report that has that by the board to allow us to madame chair, director haney would like to speak on the item. Chair sesay thank you. Director haney, nice to see you. Supervisor haney good to see you. Director, i have questions about the transbay, the old transbay site, and what exactly happened and what is going to happen in the future. Can you speak a bit more about the decisionmaking process that you took in deciding to sign that lease. It was i found out about it from your email as not only a member of this board but also as the supervisor of the district, and as far as i understand, our board was not consulted on this. And also the community, the surrounding neighbors, many of them found out about this from the email that you sent out. Im can you talk about the decision and how it was made and who was consulted and why the neighborhood wasnt consulted on this decision . Sure. Supervisor. We were approached by the Mayors Office in april with the desire to [inaudible] to be a partner with the mayor, solve the issue we didnt think it was an agreement with the mayors. [inaudible] decision to is moving my authority provided by the board. I used that authority to [inaudible] partner with the mayor on which to i do apologize for not consulting with you. I did assume that that i apologize for it. However, we did it in partnership with the mayor. My understanding that the Mayors Office with the community once they have decided when to use the site. [inaudible] supervisor haney thank you for that. A couple of things. At least as far as my perspective on this, i do think that we should not just be completely saying, you will handle this and its their responsibility. This is our property as a transbay authority, weve signed a lease. I do think that we are an important and critical neighbor and stakeholder in the area and definitely in my conversations with surrounding residents and businesses, they feel this was not only, you know, what the city has done, but it has damaged trust and the relationships with transbay specifically with the neighborhood. Which i think is important for us to maintain. So, i would say that im not certain that it is the right strategy to completely defer all public input and public process to the city on this. Can i ask you about the lease . So is the lease indefinite based on the amount of the length of the state of emergency . What specifically does the lease say in terms of the length at which this could be used for this purpose . Which basically it sounds like weve signed a lease that allows the city to use this for this purpose and whenever and if the mayor decides . Supervisor, i do apologize that we didnt consult with, more closely than with the neighborhood. The partner with the mayor. The lease is specific that expires 30 days after [inaudible] order is lifted. Again, i think that decision emergency, what i understand [inaudible] supervisor haney just so i understand, in that sense its not a monthtomonth lease, its an indefinite lease because we dont know when the shelterinplace is going to be lifted. It could go on for many months. In fact, that side is slated for development at some point. How do we know that this wont delay or interfere with the plans for that site . If the lease that is signed is essentially indefinite, we dont know when the shelterinplace is going to be lifted. We dont know when its going to be lifted, but i hope its sooner than later. I think [inaudible] willing to start housing supervisor haney and executive director, this is deborah miller. If i could add a point of clarification. The city did request, its a license request and the city did request that the license agreement extend for 30 days after the mayors order is lifted, but we inserted a clause providing that the tjpa may terminate on 30 days notice. So it is 30 days notice. Supervisor haney i would look at how it could impact future plans of the site. We dont know how long the shelterinplace is going to last and how to define what that means. Its possible if the site was used for that purpose, that it could be there for many, many months to the point that it affects longterm plans. I do think this is a very impactful decision for the work of this authority. And i dont think it should be taken lightly about this board in terms of whether this moves forward. So i would, you know, ask that we are consulted more on what this means for our responsibility as the board authority. And, supervisor, i would note this is deborah miller, because its term nabl on 30 days notice permanent consistent with the redevelopment plan and options for the site, so there was thinking about that and that was part of the reason for inserting the 30day termination, so there wouldnt be impact on the longterm planning for that site. Supervisor haney i appreciate that. But if we move 80 people into that site, it does have longterm questions in terms of our ability, even if we were going to terminate it, then there would have to be a plan for where all these people go. I dont think its as simple to say we can simply terminate in 30 days considering what the intended use would be. So i raise all of that. And you know, i hope that you can understand that this does that many thousands of people in the neighborhood contacted me and they were asking about the role of transbay in it and this has had an impact on our relationship are the neighborhood as transbay and we should consider that as we plan forward and not completely defer everything to the city. And assume that is going to be done well or effectively. Its ultimately our property as the transbay authority. Chair sesay thank you, director haney. Do we have any Board Members wishing to speak on this item . Any questions for id like to speak on the item. Thank you so much, director, for the report. And recognizing supervisor haney, cochairs comments, i think it is a difficult situation in that as Property Owners, were to provide resources for the citys response and integration with neighborhood concerns, discussion of programming, et cetera, its difficult for the Property Owner to put themselves completely in that position given that its a citywide response that requires property and resource execution across the system. So id just like to make that comment and figure out how we can support what supervisor haney is saying and i completely support it in a way that recognizes that there are very serious needs that require resources across the system to accomplish. Thank you. Chair sesay thank you, director forbes. Anybody else . Wishing to comment on the item . Any other members of the public that want to comment on the item, madame chair, it does appear we have one Public Commenter to comment on the item. Should we go ahead and play it . Chair sesay yes, please. If we can go ahead and put them into the system here so they can begin commenting, moderator . You have two questions remaining. Hi, caller, please state your name. You have three minutes once you start speaking. Good morning, directors. The only comment id like this make at this point is that director zabaneh is inaudible. I dont know if you can hear them, we cannot. Either can sfgovtv. The closed captioner is captioning everything as inaudible. What i would request is that you ask mr. Zabaneh to post the director report on the website, on the agenda, on item 5, and the last that we have the same two days ago. That could be addressed as soon as possible it would be much appreciated. Thank you. Moderator, please, put through the next caller . You have one question remaining. Please state im a neighbor hi, there, please state your name. Hi. Yeah. Thank you. Im a neighbor of the transbay site and i just thought it was very surprising that there was zero outreach about the making it a safe sleeping site. The mayor didnt reach out to us at all, so i appreciate director haneys comments. And i believe more information is needed about this. Thank you. Thank you, caller. Moderator you have zero questions remaining. All right, madame chair, that concludes members of the public that wanted to comment on the item. Next calendar item . Chair sesay yes please. Item 6, we have the presenting ball to you. Good morning. Good morning. Okay, ill share my screen. Good morning, directors and public. Pleased to be here to give you an update on the closeout. And let me see if i can share here. Can you hear me . We can hear you. We cant see you anymore. Yeah, the the application wanted to switch over to something. Im not sure what happened here. Can you see my screen at all . No. Oh, boy. If i can i have it. I figured just in case, i can share it and ron can speak to it. Let me try it. Give you the ball, one sec. Right. Lets see, hes passing the presenting privileges to you. And try sharing your screen. Okay, am i back . I can hear you, ron. I see denniss screen now. This is what youre showing, dennis . Yes, ill be switching over to the pdf here and then ron should be ready. Okay, thanks dennis. Can you expand that, dennis . Yeah, and get to the fullscreen mode. And then, ron, you can let me know when you want to forward. Ill just forward to the next screen there. Yeah, please, slide that slide. Thank you so much, dennis. Just in brief since the last report was made Good Progress on the closeout despite all the obvious challenges that weve had. We are down to one last trade package that is in the finalizing stage to close out other than the previously discussed dozen or so trade packages that will be going through the dispute resolution process. In fact, we were tracking about 13 trade packages that were going to take the longer dispute resolution process and weve narrowed it down to 12 now. So Good Progress leaving us to allowing us to be at 36 trade packages completely closed out. We will be reporting in the upcoming meetings with the legal team on the details of the dispute resolution trade packages. I think im ready to go onto the next slide, please. Our contingency cost has been a little bit of a drawdown on the construction contingency of . 6 million and replenishment of point 4 to the contingency and that was due to a credit back on an unused allowance. Generally, as i mentioned at the last meeting, our construction contingency is down to 1. 6 million and cmgc is down to 5. 5, with an Overall Program reserve of 30. 6 million. And i think the budgeting presentation will speak to some movement, because clearly, i believe well be needing to draw down a bit on the Program Reserve to address all of the closeout issues. And thats probably a good lead on to the last budget slide. Thank you, dennis. And overall budget, were staying within the Overall Program budget of 2. 259. 4 billion. Our phase one target, the estimate at completion is 2. 174. 5 billion. And thats a little over our target for obvious reasons with the challenges weve had, but as i mentioned, were maintaining the overall budget. And thats pretty much an overview. Were pleased were closing out all the trade packages other than the dozen that weve been tracking. And we will be narrowing those down or prioritizing. Some will probably be resolved through d. R. A. Process. Others may. And moving forward to mediation and or the courts. So we are very near to putting phase one down into the books. With that, ill take any questions. Madame chair, i do not see any members of the board that have indicated they want to comment on this item . Chair sesay okay. If we have no members wishing to speak on this item, can we do we have any members of the public which wish to comment. Yes, we do. Moderator, if you could please open the phone line and let the public caller come through . If there are any other members you have one question remaining. Sorry, can you hear me . Yes, please state your name. You have three minutes for your comments once you begin speaking. My name is ma dal, id like to comment on the previous topic regarding the sleeping site. And my comment is as a neighbor, can you rescind the decision to give free access to the city right now . Can you give access to the city if the rather was in front area was in front of your home . And three, would you comment to the safety of the neighborhood because our buildings would have to hire security and incur additional expenses because of the decision. I think this decision is shameful in the way the city was given free access and the neighborhood was not consulted. Thank you. All right. Madame chair, that does conclude members of the public who wanted to comment on this item. We can go ahead and move into your next item . Chair sesay thank you, yes, please. All right.
