Directors item five is the Executive Directors report. Good morning, directors. I wanted to give you an update on a variety of items that we have been up to over the past month with the business of the City And State as it relates to the pandemic. With the state reopening on june 15 and San Francisco planning to align or actually aligning with the state, and were optimistic about the return of increased economic activities and services to the City And Transit center. And City Hall reopens this past monday with appointments only and conventions are coming back to the city which includes a force slated for september. We continue to add activities to the Parks Programming which include do it yourself craft class along with a Writing Class and toddler class. And attendance continues to increase with news of nearby businesses bringing back a limited number of employees. And we are optimistic about the positive trajectory of the citys recovery. As previously mentioned as a transit facility, all visitors are required to wear masks in the center including the park and to Transportation Security Administration security directive. And which is in effect from last september. This is from which is consistent with the state guidance. Last week the mayor and the officer of Community Investment and infrastructure announcing the impending transbay terminal site which are Benefit District Partner working to deliver activities in collaboration with other community partners in july. We were happy to provide a tour with the great opportunity and look forward to working with staff to improve availability of paint services such as clipper machines, signage and in the center. And follow up to the Budget Transportation last month, and will present fiscal year final budget for your consideration and adjustments have been made to the phase two annual budgets resulting in an increase of 86,000 for capital activities. Additionally, i wanted to share that the annual rating which remain unchanged with a stable outlook and with the desirable changes to the Office Use and occupancy in the last year. We embarked on a procurement services and today on the regular calendar and with allied universal security services. And this allowed us an opportunity to encourage competitive pricing and small Business Enterprise to decrease with the federal and state advocates to ensure we are aware of and on the federal level, congress and the biden administration continue negotiations on the Infrastructure Package which we hope will provide robust opportunities to provide efforts and we strongly expressed support for the passage of the package and asking congress to advance this important effort. And we also sent a letter to House Chair to support the invest in America Act as it will provide muchneeded federal commitment to building infrastructure to increase Ability And Access with a real and lasting contribution to improving the environment and connects communities in a more efficient and equitable fashion. We ask for the continued support of the projects of national and regional with competitive grant opportunities for large transportation projects that cannot be funded through annual appropriations and other discretionary resources to qualify. The u. S. Department of transportation released their proposed Budget Recommendation of an overall Funding Level of 88. 2 billion for transit and provides 2. 5 billion to the federal Administration Capital Investment grants program. Which is important to d. T. X. As we plan to enter the program this fall. And the tjpa submitted programmatic request to the delegation to fully fund the program in the fiscal year 22 transportation Appropriations Bill and last month we submitted Community Funding Project from the Supervisors Office to support the way finding program and we anticipate hearing back by the end of july. On the state level, weve been tracking the progress of the Governors Budget Progress of the progress of the governors Budget Process. We submitted a letter somewhat of a tongue twister. We submitted a letter to the governor and requesting the d. P. S. Project conclusion and the 1 billion Funding Allocation for Transit And Rail and if not feasible, direct funding to the transit and inner City Rail Capital program which is administered by caltfa where tjpa could be available to access the fund and multiple unsolicited approval into the Budget Process which included funding for enhancement at the center. And in regard to d. P. X. , we continue to advance and in addition to moving forward through the respective process and with the outregion to seek over time. And provide a briefing to the e. O. C. With the operations analysis, item 11 on your agenda and with the utility between third and sixth street at various locations from the Tunnel Alignment and preparing and providing the Engineering Team and geotechnical conditions of the d. T. X. And as i am sure most of you have heard, m. T. C. Has released the Draft Plan for public comment and through multiple workshops and hearings and hearings through july 20. And identified as an important barrier priority project. And lastly, i am pleased to report that we have successfully recruited a Project Director for the Downtown Rail Extension project and he has joined us in advance of the official Start Date of july 1 which shows his dedication. I want to thank the Vice Chair and chair and former Tjpa Executive Director and continued Program Manager for serving the interview panel. And the Recruitment Process was july 2020 and it was challenging to recruit for the position during an unprecedented area. And the successful candidate is a right person for the job and experience, expertise and background. Alfonzo rodriguez has 35 years of experience leading, planning, directing and delivering Rail Transit and with some in the Bay Area and l.

Directors, any questions . I dont see any hands raised. And director sell. I am trying to find the raised hand. You got it. You got it. And i just had a question on the report as far as the temporary terminal which is exciting and see that come alive and do some stuff. And i got a little confused. Do we still own that property . Why are we involved in it . This is where we are good partners. We no longer own the property. It is right next to us. And the Community District is a good partner of us and we want it to be vibrant around the center. It is owned by ocii right now and the transbay program itself will ultimately have affordable housing and more housing and will begin in the near future. This will bring something onnen an open, empty space. That is great. Thank you. Thank you, Director Shaw. Any other director questions or comments . We have a public comment, but i would like to get through mr. Updykes report and we can take public comments on all the reports at one time. Mr. Secretary, i dont sigh ne other hand raised, do you . No other directors have that report. Lets go to the next report. Thank you, Chair Gee. Good morning, directors. John updyke. Lots to catch you up on. Well just mow right through it. As mentioned, the Park Program is wrapping up nicely and with the attendance levels and that is the high Intensity Interval Training and something if you have known ne at all, i do not do. But bless those who do. Great attendance to go to office returns and through company gathering this is fall. So great to see that on the radar screen. With the repairs done and fairly low Occupancy And Grass progress on continued replacement windows and also other capital improvements. And being as creative as we can to continue to squeeze a few dollars of energy with no impact. And down to the lower with first event that was not Sales Force was appropriately a Marriage Proposal effectively. We were really happy to kick off the special Event Process last weekend and i am pleased to report she said yes. Next slide. And they have been a prepartner through the pandemic to provide a number of virtual conferences hosted at our location. This is the most recent one done last week. The connections and the Guest Start and terrific performers with a limited audience as you can see from the aerial shot and consistent with covid guidelines. And the great part of this that i wanted to highlight of this event and you cannot buy that advertising and what i also want to highlight is we are getting much better at the major events. Months ago it took us four days to load that event and another three to four days to get them off the property. We are now down to a oneday load and a Twoday Load out. So the team is providing major support. Next slide. Lets talk about retail leasing. Just a quick update on the spaces and nothing particularly knew to report with the Good And Beverage kiosk and other than making good progress with a Lease Agreement and for Board Approval shortly. Because of the that would be complementary and serve others in the park. To fete the interesting and suite 32 vacancy as well as others in what is close and 133 and 137 with later on Todays Agenda and closed session. And are 82 and to start the numbers to go to fall. There are a few peaks and the Kitchen Exhaust Project has the moved along swiftly. This room on the upper righthand corner is not that is used as part of the latest Sales Force of that is what came in handy. And we have continued to run into covidrelated lingering delays. We are working through them and as an example, you can see the space there well underway with construction. And looking at the next page. We can see that they are moving along nicely. With the fourth quarter 21 or first quarter 202 and depends on each at the complexity of instruction. Thank you, sir, for the report. I am dmrad she said yes. That was very important. Director shaw, do you have a question . An i do. When we did the tour a few weeks back, i was really impressed with the park and the maintenance and a lot of activity and with the activity at the park and i was there for quite a while. And i wanted to comment you for that. And to look for clipper machines and things like that which we have a hard time finding which is another story. And it was very quiet down stairs. Really quiet. Like a Ghost Town still. I am hoping we start to see that change. I was surprised about that and definitely busier up in the park. But good job. Thank you. Thank you, Director Shaw. And directors, any other questions with the update and financials . An i believe we do have lets go to public comment. Please state your name. Your two minutes begins now.

With regards to funding and reaching out to funding and congress, and bring to your attention and the Supervisor Mass and i wrote to congress and to the senate. And until Briefly Work through the agency and said if not supporter and is talking about highspeed reading in general and saying to realize these benefits we must make sure that the job is done right. And that is what is done in europe and to spend millions without new lines of operation after another decade and we would be the best. And there is simply no way the public will continue to support such an agenda without the results. And after two years let me wrap up.

And i notice that the Termination Thing and i might have mised this because i only got to read through it once and didnt go through it a second time. With that time frame to talk about if there is a time frame on that. With the time frame and to track the metrics and to do with performance and payments. And the one example is 48 hours to get rid of the graffiti. Do we track that they are able to get that done in the 48 hours and also if that includes the Bus Storage and that is a personal question. So thank you. Thank you. And Rodney And Tara and Director Gonzalez and tjpa retains the right to exercise the discretion to terminate and as to the graffiti clause, that is a section of the separative code and generally apply where is a contractor has control over the facilities. And in this case, that is a standard term in the Tjpa Contract as it is in most city contracts. Does that mean if there was graffiti on the outside of the terminal, they wouldnt take care of that . Who would answer that . So the handling of Gras Tee Fee is handled by the facilities team. And so if we discovered any of the graffiti within the the center and to identify real Quick And Spray paint and leave. And to identify the person traytors. And we get to have that major goal as it relates to graffiti. If there is graffiti as Director Shaw hypothetically postulated, was the Tjpa Team take care of it . Absolutely. And its pretty immediate. And so much so that i actually dont really see any of the i actually have not seen any. Thank you. And to have something over there and is taken care of. And we could have a Sub Contractor to address that graffiti which sees its share of problem. We are on top of that. And we also work very closely with the area and also has resources that are available and to expedite the removal. Thank you for weighing in on Director Shaws question. Any other questions or comments . I just have a question about the metrics if we were planning to have any metrics in there. And now that was doing. We want to sit down and look at what is with the to identify and hash them out and to with the kpi and milestones that ally with to maintain. So thank you for your gaugement and questions. We appreciate it. Are there other directions and questions . Do we have a public comment. The two areas and determine to cost 20,000 a day and in this security services, about 15,000 a day. So total of 35,000 for a day now. I find that can we improve on it . Thank you. Awe thank you. Any other public comment . That concludes public comment. I make a motion to approve the correct. Second. Motion by Director Shaw and second by . Jeanbaptiste. Thank you. It is hard on my laptop to see everybody. Thank you, directors. I will take a Roll Call vote. [Roll Call vote] and in the amount of 72,4626,163 and from Fisz Cal Year budget from 279,000 and the financial consultant will present. I am mary parker. And i will be presenting the budget for your consideration today. Next slide please. Just to go over the budget timeline, in january the prelim mare Operating Budget was presented to the board. And in april there was a budget outlook presentation. In may we got into the details of the Draft Project and today is the final project for your review and i a prooufl. Next slide please. With the Operating Budget and the Highlight Z as presented in pay and the Operating Budget presumes the recovery in may from the covid19 pandemic. And the two changes include the ann armed Security Contract savings and increase in reserves. And significant future changes that may occur include an m. O. U. For park costs an payments. And the potential for american Rescue Plan to be allocated by m. T. C. Starting this summer. I would like to take an opportunity right now to thank m. T. C. For putting on the agenda an item related to are, m3 to enable the tjpa to be reimbursed for previous operating expenses if the Rm3 Litigation is favorable. And if the ruling is not favorable, tjpa would use reserves to cover the operating costs and would be to identify other funding to cover future Operating And Stage ii capital costs. Next slide please. The table summarizes the development and changes since the May Draft shown in the last two columns. Well talk about details on the revenues next. Next slide please. And the next one. Thank you. As noted in may, the fiscal year 202121 budget is an increase from the current fiscal year. The inclusion of the federal relief funds and changes in other sources has resulted in an Eare Duction of the amount needed from the operator contributions. And compared to the current year. And since the May Draft, Ac Transit has requested a small reduction in the Capital Contribution and that is incorporated with additional resources projected to be transferred to the Operating Reserve. Next slide please. And i know it is hard to provide details of what the revenues look like for the Operating Budget. And the next slide will talk about expenses. So since may, theres been an overall reduction of approximately 680,000 comprised of 690,000 in savings from the unarmed Security Contract and a 10,000 increase in the Insurance Premium for the current or for next fiscal year. And then the net savings from fiscal year 2022 revenues and expenses and the estimated Fund Balance from the current Fish Year and with an additional 1. 4 million for the Operating Reserve and with the variable operating costs. Go to the next slide please and the changes since the May Draft budget. We can go now to the Capital Budget. So this slide summarizes the funding sources of the 72. 4 million Capital Budget which covers phase one, phase two, and tenant improvements. And the primary sources include the tjpa 2020 tax allocations and the Prop K and there is the summary of the different kind of sifts that will take place on the Capital Front and construction of tenant improvements with the Engineering And Design of phase two. The from the primary activity is going to be the Construction Close out to be closed. And for tenant improvements, the budget is 19. 4 million which is the reduction and with the May Draft and primarily due to the estimated balance and the change for fiscal year 2022. And and for accounting purposes. And in order and from the May Draft and the budget is 30. 2 million and based on the Debt Service Schedule and with the Tax Increment prove. And we will be returning to the normal Budget Process. And we come back to the board with any significant changes during the fiscal year. So if there are any questions . Happy to answer them. Thank you. Any questions . I dont see any hands raised. I want to thank you for the hard work and thank you to our partner. This is really a with public comment. And please state your name and the two minutes begins now. Thank you, director. And the comment that i would like to make is i wish we had item 11 first. That concludes my items. Is there a motion . An i will make a motion. I will second. [Roll Call vote] item 10 is approved. Thank you, directtors. Mr. Secretary, lets continue. Item 11 is a presentation on the analysis and the executive Steering Committee Chair to introduce the items and along with the highSpeed Rail will present. Good morning, Chair Gee and directtors. Happy to be here today with the team to present the dtx operations planning study. This Nanl Sis was conducted in support of the phasing decision that will come before you this august. The team has been focused on identifying what types of potential dxt fiscal capital investments may be xsh of what dtx physical operations may be deferrable and what the Number And Frequency of train cans be supported at different levels of design of the dtx infrastructure. Sprait separately, the cost savings and other effects of potential deferrals are being studied by the this is the potential connection and that one that we hope in San Francisco will happen. From the Ta Point of you and in the purpose of that study to provide an initial indication of the capacity implications across the bay and assuming the dtx investment. That will be, again, what the presenters will be speaking to briefly as well. With that let me introduce the two of them to give the presentation. With the mou and with the to be understood taken and the input wills feed into a phasing analysis that is already mentioned. With the inputs and drive the capacity and the infrastructure required. I have talked about the previous work and high Speed Rail and caltran together and this work builds on that. Some of the conclusions are based around the fact that the entire system needs to work from San Francisco to caltran down to san jose and for the authority beyond that through the central valley and down to los angeles. We have taken this in the round. In the Business Plans and the vision statement, caltran is looking to run in the area and eight trains per hour into four trains per hour. With the to feed goo into and out of the Dtx Heart of the system and identify the operators and planning parameters and their needs for certain operating requirements in terms of the length of time to create accommodating the zones and the safety purposes in the tunnel and the Dxt Tunnel approaching the Sales Force Transit Center. In terms of and with the peak and we also looked at and with do require three tracks and from fourth and Town Send and the new station on the that is undertaken by a number of Peer Review groups in the past and Parsons Transportation on behalf of tjpa and that is and i will come to those shortly and explain the differences between them. And even looking at different layouts and we still come back to the conclusion that the three trips are required in the Tunnel Section between 4th and Townsend And Salesforce Transit Center. And minor delays are introduced from the daytoday operations of the Transit System and we found that with the infrastructure and proposed the system is able to recover once the delays have gone away. You dont end up with escalating and settle back into the pattern. And in Noer Mall operations and under the minor scenarios and no significant benefit and the loss of one of the tracts or maybe the closure of the platform if you had shared platforms and that advantage and always came at Caltrans Disadvantage and effectively make a one for one trade of train services. And it doesnt increase the quantum you can run and allows you to be more flexible in what you choose to run. In terms of phasing both layouts can support a phased introduction and of the Tracking System and infrastructure. And that infrastructure is being fed through the phasing study. And that will be coming out in the next few months. And and concept a has the single platform for highSpeed Rail and they need to operate the trains in both directions and the platform and would highSpeed Rail to stop more than two of their services at fourth and Town Send. In Concept B, very similar and layout from salesforce Transit Center to fourth and Town Send. A slightly shorter three Track Section and still requireed. And then at fourth and townsend, the idea is to have a caltran platform in the middle. And it is possible to operate with highSpeed Rail in tracks one and two in concept a or three and four in Concept B if that were desirable. On next sliez. And through increase of caltrans services to and with the righthand side and incrementally add in highSpeed Rail services and increase the amount of infrastructure required. And on the far righthand side you have the caltran and four highSpeed Rail services. Next slide please. So i mentioned the simulation and Contingency Planning Work that we undertook on the schedules and the infrastructure that we develop through this exercise. And as i said, both of the con cements concepts perform well to the with the major disruptions between the two two concepts to make it through and to which ones you have to trade out. And generally its a one on one trade between caltran and highSpeed Rail and is something that both of our agencies would look to get into in more detail. And as the start of operation comes closer. The last two points and to make the point that the loss of traffic and challenges the Operating Program terse. And on the section between fourth and townsend and the existing to short of the section and in the Caltran Case can be a diverse to the to go nearer to operation. And next slide. To look at the run through analysis or the impact of having facilities at fourth and sorry, at the Salesforce Transit Senter to link into a new transbay crossing as developed by the loop 2021 program. That is an active discussion that we are having with the Loop Program and as the operatetors, we are ready and able to take the analysis once we have firmed up and we are looking for the direction on that. So that concludes the presentation and i am happy to take any questions and specific for the events. Directtors, questions at this time . There is an information item. There is no action. This item is update with more to come and as the share chairing over the next several months. Director shaw . This is a very good report, and i have seen it twice and learn something every time i watch it. It is comprehensive and really good work. And the question i have is not sure if its a question or an a statement and similar to today and with the services lost and because of that, and says to me that i am hoping that by the time this is implemented and were more of i want to call it a blended system and from a Customer Perspective her not going to care on Caltran And Hsr and depends on where to go. And from a Services Perspective whether it be ticketing and way finding signs and whether it be what time does the train come, and i am hoping that they dont have to care that i have to look at a caltrain timetable or hsr or that there is some way to do that. And to lose services like that and on the independent track and not looking at it from the rider perspective. Maybe i am wrong in that. But that is my comments, i guess, i will make. With the responses over and the blended operations and nature of highspeed services and caltrains services are quite different markets ultimately. I think should hopefully assauge some of the concerns. And the highspeed real service will be to everybody with the allocated seat and more like flying on the aircraft. And go forward and to make it easy to pass through any of the station facilities and get to the right place. And elsewhere in the world and to direct you to the right point on the platform. And where this is closest. And caltrains services is very different. It is up and go and high capacity to serve that commuter market. So there are some advantages actually in having differentiated platforms. I am not trying to suggest the complete separate platforms is ideal, but it is where we are on pendulum at the point. And as far as looking at the Transfer Point between the two services to make the slow as easy as possible. We are looking at all that in the scheduling. And when we get into the detailed platforming of services, we will try to make sure that there are any transfers that are as easy as possible. When i travel in Italy And Europe and maybe they dont share platforms and i just assumed they did. That is what i think about and the way the services is designed in europe as well and tell by the accident that i am from the other side of the bond. And all of the train services will have an allocated platform. If you travel every day on those services, and you will know to go to platform 10 and i take the point. Ed thank you, Director Shaw. Did you want to weigh in with anything as paul suggested . If i may, i may jump in with the Question Or Comment on a different part of presentation. It is an important one for the board to understand and around the run through analysis and in particular, you had some of this on your slide and to go indepth and highlight in the back of Everyones Mind and that work to do that analysis, there is a lot of assumptions that get created in that process in terms of what it is and what it may become and all sorts of engineering questions and end points on the East Bay Sigh and Technology And Sort of to jump in on that and assume and to run the simulations and things like that. I would be for cautious in making the decisions yet to come on what that looks like in the future. And i guess i want to give that caveat to the board with the mine thought and what it is and isnt going to tell us. This will be a lot of what the with the assumptions are. And too much more to add other than in that link 21 very early in the discussions in terms of where it thinks the best location and the connections that are talked about. And also designing services and as well as services running through and where do they go to . And there are many questions. And the engineering design. So the ability to a technical point, but the gradient to have to go out to prevent the thousands of developments that is mentioned. Director, any other questions . Director jeanbaptiste . Thank you. And thanks for the presentation. So from this point, it is essential to make the connection on the east side and this is a really important project. And to emphasize that it is early and planning stages and this project is much further along. And to allow for flexibility and without curtailing our own Planning And Advancement to take greater form. And i did have a question that i was hoping you could clarify and Director Lipkin as well. There was a comment we received from a comment of the public raising the flag about the number of high. Speed Rail Station and asking about how fourth an Townsend Fit into that first. Prop a and the Rail System and with the bonds and travel time and specific design considerations. One of the requirements around the overall system and maximum of 24 stations on the statewide system that is part with the hour requirements. And the only rules about where the stations can and cant be that we have to have the northern terminus at salesforce Transit Center. That is one of the requirements from the measure. And the other side and we can have a separate conversation about why that exists but the west is a blank slate up to 24. And the phase one system from San Francisco and los angeles. And we are at 15 or so based on the 2020 Business Plan that includes the fourth and townsend station. And there are phase two stations to extend to sacramento and san diego. And we are well short of the 24 limits. Does that become a question at some point with phase two . Maybe, maybe not. And those are decisions in the future. And i dont i saw that comment and i dont see that as a big issue. That is helpful. And i was curious with the options and if its too early to identify one as being a Front Board Runner and also how the options might relate to the stationary development in that particular area as well. To take that one. And director gee, may i respond . Steven, yes, good morning. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. We have established a working group immediately with the options from several perspectives. Obviously the operational perspective. And the passenger experience. As well as the implication and the Rail Yards development. And both of the options have essentially almost an identical footprint if you will so the relationship to the future development and to think about the potential Future Underground and depression of the Rail Yard to allow development and to how the two options and influence the the understood Ground Railroad and we will be working with that coming up in the next few months with a preferred recommendation. Thank you. We are in the early stages of the operational analysis and i think as a region we have offer been in the position of wanting to make sure we can that at the same time can make the tradeoff decisions to limit the operational capacity. And from my perspective, and i will want to look carefully at what the financial tradeoffs are relative to operational and thank you so much for this information. And Director Jeanbaptiste for the questions. Other directors . I dont see hands raised or people waving in the screen. So in the presentation and you eluded to the disruptions and impacts on operations. And what are disruptions and is that a required bottling . Is that required through the modelling . And that may be a team response. So two levels of that we looked at with the similar work and to refer to as minor disruptions. With the dynamic operation of the railway and maybe a train running slightly slow for some reason. And a minor delay and perhaps because of a Passenger Boarding taking an it will longer. Those are measured in low numbers of minutes. And 10 minutes or less. We fed those delays into the system called Rail System. And a System Modelling Design to go to randomize in excess of 300 simulations. [please stand by]. When we looked at that, what we were looking at is where you could still access what was left and how many trains you could get through. I did talk about some of the Contingency Planning Activity to show that we wouldnt be able to get all of the trains still through to s. T. C. And what we would do with caltrain is work jointly to have very clear contingency plans to be enacted in those situations and i talked about terminating [inaudible] of destination or a couple of trains up so you get two trains running in one slot or we could divert to other locations. So that is the difference in the disruptions. Does that make sense . Yes, that makes sense. I guess that is a kind of considering Recovery System Recovery is part of for me it is just due diligence in terms of planning a system. Its what we would do with any [inaudible]. One of first is simulation testing. As you say, it is just good due diligence and good anywhere around the world. Thank you. Any other questions from directors . If not, mr. Secretary, i suspect we have public comment. Yes. Moderator, please allow the first caller. Hello, caller. Please state your name. Your two minutes begins now. Caller thank you, mr. Chair. First of all, im extremely pleased that you had the opportunity to read my letter. And quite frankly, i want to give [inaudible] a Transportation Authority and [inaudible] of which would not have been possible. This is how [inaudible] access to be seen. Now a number of stations, ok, i dont want to go there. But the first problem you have is [inaudible] cannot possibly accommodate [inaudible]. That is your first problem there. You wonts turning trains around there. Now on the third point, im not quite sure who high Speed Rail, whatever youve been talking to, i can assure you it is not the early train operator. And anybody who knows anything about high Speed Rail understands why now. Theres nowhere trains will be high speed. In closing, for my recommendation is and actually i wrote about this back in 2015. [inaudible] and we see how you can get 12 trains in and out of france every hour with only three [inaudible]. [audio is very low] the last Comment Id like to make is we know we aer going. This is where were connecting to Capital Corridor and were going to be a railyard in West Oakland so happy to be sharing all of this with you. But we are ready to go when you are. Thank you. Thank you. Next caller. Hello. Please state your name. Your two minutes begin now. Caller this is Jim Patrick. Id like to address the three track versus two track. Number one, what is the cost for this marginal cost for the third tunnel. We need to identify that. We have to presume that this is going to be a throughstation and we may not need three tracks. And number three, since these Trains Wont be running for another eight or 10 years, what impact will technology have on allowing faster and more efficient passage through these tunnels such that third tunnel may, in fact, not be necessary. Are we looking ahead technologywise and thinking down that line . Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I believe that concludes public comment thurnlz item. Thank you, mr. Secretary. Chair chang or paul or steven. Any closing comments on this presentation . There is a lot more reports and updates to come, including figures later and phasing. This is just an update on the conditional operations analysis. Any closing remarks on this presentation . Thank you, chair, for the guidance. Well take it back to the team and continue working on this. We look forward to our next update to you next month. Very goo. Thank you very much for the update and presentation. Thank you. At this time, the board is scheduled to go into a closed session pursuant to Government Code Section and we have not received any notification that the member of the public has the will to comment. We have a member of the public that wishs to provide comment. Moderator . Hello, caller. Please state your name. Your two minutes begins now. Caller thank you. Hi. To amplify a statement i made earlier this meeting we go into closed session, hush, hush, hush, well let you know what happened but to have a resolution passed and not published, i think, is incorrect and looking for a little transparents si here. What the heck is going on . Are private deals being made . I think the public has a rights to know about any of these things. Anything approved in closed session i ask that it be published in the minutes of the the minutes of that meeting. Thank you. Thank you. Any other public commenters . That concludes public comment at this time. Do you k. S us to come out with any actions . Were expecting to have a new reportable action out of todays closed session. Im sorry . Do you not . Do not. Ok. So, if the public would like to hang, we should be out by 12 00. But there is no expectation of any reportable actions. So with that, we will adjourn to closed session. Yes. Moderator, please proceed with president walton good Afternoon And Welcome to the june 8, 2021 meeting of the San Francisco board of supervisors. Roll call, madam clerk. Clerk thank you, mr. President. [Roll Call]
