Its my 20th birthday today. So i want to congratulate the team that was before you that were part of that recognition. Today i want to recognize a liza. Shes part of our financial Information Technology team, joined the Capital Projects and grants county team about five years ago administrative analyst. She denied any prior knowledge of transit or governmental accounting, but she took the time to pick it up extremely quickly and rose to the challenge is presented to when we first issued our revenue bond in 2012 she was assigned to monitor and compile the financial activityinformation that is the foundation of the reports so we could make to you in the bond oversight committee. So, shes taken that on the singlehandedly without prior knowledge of the bonds and transportation. Shes worked hard to support this extremely important reporting as mentioned before to be transparent and tomake sure that were reporting out war spending on bonds for the public and policymakers. Shes extremely goodnatured. Its very patient and reconfiguring the multiple times weve had to reconfigure the data. Shes very persistent and works very well with other departments could shes got a great attitude. Resolves problems before they become big. We had extraordinary use of our bond program without mature findings and liza deserves much of the credit for that. She creates a great deal about the Quality Markets is a High Standard for others to follow. So are very proud of a liza and the work shes been doing and take her very much. Keep it up. Thank you. [applause] on behalf of the board thank you and congratulations for your outstanding work. Thank you, so much. At your speech. Thats it week . Shes offered to give you a primer in bonding. If you would like thank you. A few other items. The mention this one a few times before. Were kind of now in the precipice of launch of the municipal mobile app. We expected to launch a week from monday, november 16. Just to remind you, its a Smart Phone App to which people will be able to purchase muni fares to ride anywhere across the system, bus, rail cable car. And paratransit. People will be able to store fares on their smart phone purchase visa or mastercard or paypal. So, of course one no longer will need change work cards or any other means of pain other than having the app on their phone. So, we are doing the beta test of the app now and will be doing the public launch as i said a week for monday, november 16 get excitingly early next year, will be adding spanish and chinese to the app as well as travis foxs favorite rate my right feature. Travis is our chief performance officer within what one spearheading bringing this private forget were pretty excited about that. As well as the rate my ride. So, we will keep you posted on usage and other experiences. It is technology that has been in use in some smaller systems around the country i think chicago is about to launch theirs as well. So, where little bit at the front end but not the very front end of this wave. It should be exciting tragically for less regular meeting writers and would not already have a clever card. Rick said to see that coming. Something were not really excited to see coming is el nino. Nevertheless, we are doing work to prepare for its arrival, particularly john haley and his team in the transit division. Theyve undertaken a conference of planning process looking at everything from facilities to vehicles, to infrastructure particularly the subway as well as employee issues and safety issues. Correlating across the agency and him poorly, coordinating with some of the key city agent such as public works and Public Utilities commission which manages our storm sewer system. Weve entered into some agreements with them in terms of preparations such as having sandbags in place, identifying areas of known flooding so that we can try to get ahead of the storm as much as possible. John presented a plan to the mayor last week. We will be cementing a draft of it to the California PublicUtility Commission this week on their request. We will continue to work with the city family in coordination which is been led by the City Department of emergency management. So, while we hope it doesnt come, as intensely as some of the more extreme forecast are we sunny welcome the rain and make sure were prepared for it. Next thing, i want to update you on one facility issue. You may recall from your deep reading of the real estate vision study we did a few years ago that we have one old unreinforced masonry building. Its a beautiful brick building on bryant street. At 13th and bryans. Its currently where are overhead lines position runs operates from. It was constructed in 1893 and is a masonry building its not a seismically safe facility. The real estate vision report recommended we move out that we vacate that facility which remains our plan. We are currently in the process of seeking a new home for the overhead lines division. In the meantime, the city is exploring purchasing that facility from us and renovating it to be new home for the animal care and control which is just actually a few blocks down thats in need of a new facility. So, because of the barrymore ready, and to potentially move and then ours to move out, we are working with the City Administrators Office to explore whether theres possible interim we might we locate to get us out of the old building. Let them come and renovated. Move in while we try to continue to find a permanent site. That may or may not happen but just since that will be going on and think of Capital Planning meetings and i want to make you aware. That may be happening. Then, finally, just a reminder i mentioned last time our second round of central subway construction work at fourth and king is coming this month. Last time we did it over Labor Day Weekend this time it will be longer closure from november 6number 14. Itll start late on a friday night, run through that first weekend, and go until the following saturday. So, like we did like last time, doing some pretty extensive planning and outreach with neighborhood with caltrans with the other city agencies to make sure that we can minimize disruption to the greatest extent possible. Like last time, although a little bit different though be fairly significant changes to municipal service. This im really the entire intersection will be shut down so there wont be trains running through that intersection. We have a fairly elaborate service plan to work around that. Love lots of folks out on the street both enforcement folks to direct traffic but also ambassadors to direct people. We been putting out a lot of information to our mailing list to various other mechanisms and will continue to do so through the media. So, just want to remind you from the public that coming from the sixth14th that scenario you want to avoid if you can or least plans extra time if you find yourself needing to go to or through their. We are paying special attention to folks who live in that area will be most impacted as to minimize the impact to the greatest xm possible. That includes thank you. Comments or questions . Anybody in the public . Not on the directors report nobody submitted a speaker card for that session get i do make citizens advisory report. Good afternoon mr. Weaver. Good afternoon. Good afternoon board members. Dmt a cac was fortunate in being able to figure out when we could meet to weigh in on the mission bay project. We managed to do that in a special meeting on october 28. Out of that, we harvested three motions am here to present to you. On the subject. The mta cac recommends the plan for the event center mixeduse Development Admission date presented to us at our october 28 meeting. I might add, as a comment, that the staff work on this in the presenters would like your albert were excellent. Ive never seen it better. Second motion. Cac recommends that in order for the Transportation Plan for the event center and mixeduse Development Admission day to work additional pcos need to be hired so the rest of the city is not negatively impacted when there are events at the arena. Third motion on the subject, the cac recommends that the variance for a length and center boarding platform in the event mixeduse Development Admission day be adopted by the agency. Finally, on a smaller issue which is Pedestrian Safety on the and streetcar line, the cac recommends that muni ford prioritize the valuation of the intersection of san jose ave. And lakeview street for the letter m line for enhance Pedestrian Safety and efficiency. At the end of my record any questions am happy to respond. Thank you. Members of the board, questions or comments queen as always, thank you for your guidance on this. Thank you. Is a chairman, item 9, general public comment. Some owners of the public and agenda, which is not about things on todays agenda. How many do we have . Threewhat we can go ahead with that anyone care to address the board under this Section Police out a card. Richard rothman followed by marion matos and petethose are the first three people. That good afternoon good afternoon the measured. My name is Richard Kaufman and other than the Outer Richmond district. I think in many residents of the Richmond District and people deal with mta see the sustainable Street Division needs to be reorganized. Right now it operates in functions and one never knows who to call or email. They dont give out phone numbers. So, you know. I realize, Downtown Central city needs more staff and resources. Im not saying they should take away resources but what im saying is that she dedicated team to deal with different parts of the city. The Planning Department is divided into four sections. They divide the city into four sections. I sort of like the idea of having teams in the supervisorial districts mainly starting one with this took one, four, and seven. But having a dedicated team so we could know who to talk to in our issues. Some of the issues areon balboa street. Dpwmade some changes but there still safety issues. I been waiting over a year to have somebody come out and talk about balboa street. So far, no luck. Forman street, dpw is going to repay. What are the new street crosswalks and signs . How are they just below the traffic down create a big concern is the outside rams concert. Theres no place to park in mta needs to do something to keep cars out of the richmond and sunset district when these events happen. Some of the neighbors have some good plans, but who do we talk to at mta . I have no idea. So, dont say 311 because mta staffive never gotten a coherent response from 311. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Marion father by diana scott. I am here to speak about the wicked. I believe you all got my email and petition. We did. I still need to go over some of those points. We, first of all dont understand why most of the city does not know about the drg. The Public Outreach was totally ineffective. I mean, 11 years ago you put on about lets increase the sales tax and improve public transportation. But, no one told anybody since then what they were actually going to do. Taking two lanes away from traffic on then asked to put the drg in the middle is going to make the traffic increase tenfold and particularly, the fact that youre not going to allow lefthand turns, except at broadway and lombard. So, that will even make a parallel street full of traffic. The problem also being that you are going to take down all our mature big trees that could absorb the excess Carbon Dioxide that will be created by this horrible amount of increase traffic. The area will become totally polluted. Its hard enough now. I was facing then asked not to clean this up off my window constantly. I have asthma and im really concerned about what will happen when all the trees are gone and the traffic increases tenfold. The other issue is, what youre planning to replace them with. Let me back up. We are really here to have you reconsider and relooked at alternative number two at curbside. Because, the only main difference that ive been told, forget about percentages, is that it will save transit time by approximately 2. 5 min. Is that really worth all the trouble and all the construction that will last a couple of years and the unsafe conditions that will be part of whats going to happen for the seniors, the disabled, children, mothers with strollers and littl
