30

petrelli calling. >> I am looking at your agenda

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:42,220
for item four which is approval of minutes for the july 21st

32
00:01:42,220 --> 00:01:48,220
meeting and the minutes the draft minutes are not here.

33
00:01:49,294 --> 00:01:53,565
I don't know where the minutes are located because you provide

34
00:01:53,565 --> 00:02:00,765
no information per item before and I would really like to read

35
00:02:00,972 --> 00:02:07,572
the draft minute of what was discussed on july 21st but

36
00:02:07,646 --> 00:02:11,449
you're putting me at a real disadvantage because the draft

37
00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:15,920
minutes are not included on your nine page agenda that I'm

38
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:19,791
looking at. >> and as I said just a little

39
00:02:19,791 --> 00:02:26,991
while ago, you do not give any information about where to find

40
00:02:27,265 --> 00:02:31,536
the minutes. So I think in the future you

41
00:02:31,536 --> 00:02:35,941
need to address my concern and that draft minute need to

42
00:02:35,941 --> 00:02:41,941
be easily accessible through the agenda or somewhere else on

43
00:02:43,281 --> 00:02:44,215

44
00:02:44,215 --> 00:02:47,619

. I'd like to start my report by

62
00:03:53,285 --> 00:03:57,289
inviting streets director victoria wise to present two

63
00:03:57,289 --> 00:04:00,889
special recognitions. Thank you director kirschbaum

64
00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:04,625
chair tarlov members of the board.

65
00:04:05,363 --> 00:04:08,700
good afternoon victoria wise streets director and I today

66
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:12,237
would really like to recognize staff who have made some

67
00:04:12,237 --> 00:04:16,574
incredible improvements happen on the muni metro t third line

68
00:04:16,574 --> 00:04:19,911
staff from different focused areas work together to support

69
00:04:19,911 --> 00:04:23,715
thousands of people that ride this line and this route is

70
00:04:23,715 --> 00:04:24,983
really important because it supports equity neighborhoods

71
00:04:24,983 --> 00:04:31,389
from chinatown all the way to bayview hunters point more than

72
00:04:31,389 --> 00:04:36,600
25,000 people ride the t every weekday but honestly it had

73
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,543
more delays and longer travel times than we would have

74
00:04:39,543 --> 00:04:43,130
preferred. >> so our team launched the t

75
00:04:43,130 --> 00:04:44,414
third improvement project to make things better for

76
00:04:44,414 --> 00:04:47,484
everybody. Over the past several months

77
00:04:47,484 --> 00:04:51,888
they made changes to traffic and transit signals to help the

78
00:04:51,888 --> 00:04:55,358
t third move faster and of course more reliably so they

79
00:04:55,358 --> 00:04:59,362
gave more green light to muni and also ensured that muni

80
00:04:59,362 --> 00:05:00,897
trains don't wait as long when their other vehicles turning.

81
00:05:00,897 --> 00:05:03,833
so these kind of different adjustments really made that

82
00:05:03,833 --> 00:05:07,303
ride so much better and faster for everyone.

83
00:05:07,303 --> 00:05:10,303
the results are quite exciting .

84
00:05:10,506 --> 00:05:13,709
in soma for example we are saving up to two minutes

85
00:05:13,709 --> 00:05:16,446
in each direction. That is a 37% reduction

86
00:05:16,446 --> 00:05:20,183
in travel time and in the mission bay and the dogpatch

87
00:05:20,183 --> 00:05:23,453
area our teams shaved off a minute and a half from the

88
00:05:23,453 --> 00:05:26,589
travel times. Trips on muni are more reliable

89
00:05:26,589 --> 00:05:28,258
and trains are not waiting as long at the red lights as they

90
00:05:28,258 --> 00:05:31,461
had in the past. >> this may not sound like a

91
00:05:31,461 --> 00:05:35,599
lot I'm talking about minutes here but if you add up all the

92
00:05:35,599 --> 00:05:38,802
people and all the ridership on these lines it does add up with

93
00:05:38,802 --> 00:05:42,673
more time with your family and your friends just having

94
00:05:42,673 --> 00:05:48,730
fun and visiting businesses. It's actually quite a savings

95
00:05:49,679 --> 00:05:54,840
and the team is actually continuing this work now that

96
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:57,754
we've seen some improvements on this portion of the t they are

97
00:05:57,754 --> 00:06:00,957
looking at opportunities to reduce travel time on the

98
00:06:00,957 --> 00:06:04,961
southern portion of the line. I want to thank several people

99
00:06:04,961 --> 00:06:09,990
who made this happen under the leadership of shaun kennedy

100
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:10,367
and michael rhodes. >> so from our muni forward

101
00:06:10,367 --> 00:06:13,837
group we have jasper lea, we have mike juan, we have jessica

102
00:06:13,837 --> 00:06:17,437
kuo from our traffic signal shop.

103
00:06:17,441 --> 00:06:21,440
we have michael chu from the transit division maintenance of

104
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,181
way we have dave harbin and from our communication

105
00:06:25,181 --> 00:06:28,985
points team we have nia evans. Thank you to this entire team

106
00:06:28,985 --> 00:06:33,323
for their great work and now I want to turn the mic over to

107
00:06:33,323 --> 00:06:34,657
assistant engineer jasper lee from the project team who's

108
00:06:34,657 --> 00:06:37,660
going to say a few words on behalf of the team.

109
00:06:37,660 --> 00:06:41,860
jasper coming up. >> good afternoon directors of

110
00:06:50,139 --> 00:06:54,210
the board of seventy-eighths wanted to say thank you so much

111
00:06:54,210 --> 00:06:55,478
for being here. It feels like an honor to be

112
00:06:55,478 --> 00:06:58,815
here and consider continuing to serve the city.

113
00:06:58,815 --> 00:07:01,951
I just wanted to say this project I think is a

114
00:07:01,951 --> 00:07:05,755
culmination of an incredibly collaborative effort between

115
00:07:05,755 --> 00:07:09,692
traffic and transit engineers traffic signal electrician

116
00:07:09,692 --> 00:07:10,627
and infrastructure experts as well.

117
00:07:10,627 --> 00:07:14,831
and we're all doing this to try to make the city a better place

118
00:07:14,831 --> 00:07:17,767
and it feels great to be here today and we're not done yet.

119
00:07:17,767 --> 00:07:21,367
we've got another phase coming out.

120
00:07:21,437 --> 00:07:22,705
we're going to make improvements all the way down

121
00:07:22,705 --> 00:07:26,630
in the bayview as well. And so just keep putting your

122
00:07:26,630 --> 00:07:29,200
faith in us, keep believing in us and just keep this going.

123
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,200
>> so thank you. Thank you.

congratulations. Thanks.

thank you. >> all right.

142
00:08:37,802 --> 00:08:42,940
on behalf of the board, I would really like to extend our

143
00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:46,477
sincere our gratitude for your work.

144
00:08:46,477 --> 00:08:50,815
it is very behind the scenes work that the public really

145
00:08:50,815 --> 00:08:56,215
wouldn't know was happening unless we had recognition ads

146
00:08:58,356 --> 00:08:59,624
like this. So thank you, director wise as

147
00:08:59,624 --> 00:09:01,624
well. >> all right.

148
00:09:02,827 --> 00:09:04,295
thank you, team. It is my pleasure to do another

149
00:09:04,295 --> 00:09:09,950
recognition today and that is from michael rath.

150
00:09:09,901 --> 00:09:13,237
>> he is from our paint shop. So I want to tell you guys a

151
00:09:13,237 --> 00:09:14,572
crisis unfolded on a typical work day and the courage that

152
00:09:14,572 --> 00:09:18,772
michael showed really is just absolutely extraordinary.

153
00:09:21,379 --> 00:09:24,915
in fact, it made a impact on our entire paint shop and lots

154
00:09:24,915 --> 00:09:26,116
of them are here behind me as you can see.

155
00:09:26,116 --> 00:09:29,720
>> so back in may michael was working in the bayview with his

156
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,257
colleague laurent and they stopped at a, you know, station

157
00:09:33,257 --> 00:09:37,795
to refuel their truck. >> the two stepped out of the

158
00:09:37,795 --> 00:09:41,799
car and their friend dan who works there was also there an

159
00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:45,136
attendant and suddenly laurent just collapsed.

160
00:09:45,136 --> 00:09:48,139
he fell. And michael sensed immediately

161
00:09:48,139 --> 00:09:49,474
that something was wrong and just ran to him and jumped

162
00:09:49,474 --> 00:09:53,740
into action with his friend dan.

163
00:09:53,277 --> 00:09:59,160
so michael started performing cpr and yelled for others to

164
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,840
call 911. Firefighters and paramedics

165
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,880
arrived within minutes and took over the lifesaving efforts.

166
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,158
and later first responders confirmed that lauren had

167
00:10:08,158 --> 00:10:14,231
actually had a cardiac arrest. >> and they also said to us

168
00:10:14,231 --> 00:10:15,500
that if it was not for michael's immediate action

169
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:18,845
in jumping into action, lauren would have faced a very

170
00:10:18,845 --> 00:10:22,716
different outcome as lauren recovered in the hospital,

171
00:10:22,716 --> 00:10:25,719
michael visited him of course regularly.

172
00:10:25,719 --> 00:10:29,522
the two had actually worked together for more than 20

173
00:10:29,522 --> 00:10:33,722
years. And it's really such a moving

174
00:10:34,194 --> 00:10:37,731
story of friendship. >> and it just goes to show

175
00:10:37,731 --> 00:10:38,999
that your work colleagues are in fact your family.

176
00:10:38,999 --> 00:10:42,135
we're all together as a team and it had a profound impact on

177
00:10:42,135 --> 00:10:45,405
our paint shop and the crews looking out for each other.

178
00:10:45,405 --> 00:10:48,809
in fact the amazing part here is that michael's act of

179
00:10:48,809 --> 00:10:52,745
courage really inspired the whole team and everybody in the

180
00:10:52,745 --> 00:10:56,416
paint shop saw the importance of cpr training that could save

181
00:10:56,416 --> 00:11:00,353
a life and they took it upon themselves to find training

182
00:11:00,353 --> 00:11:04,900
and do it themselves for the entire team is now 100% trained

183
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:07,761
in cpr and they're certified. >> so I really can't thank

184
00:11:07,761 --> 00:11:11,631
michael enough and just to recognize his courage in this

185
00:11:11,631 --> 00:11:14,968
situation in an emergency and knowing what to do and the

186
00:11:14,968 --> 00:11:18,305
fact that he did that had really good outcomes for his

187
00:11:18,305 --> 00:11:22,642
colleague and he's here supported by his colleagues.

188
00:11:22,642 --> 00:11:27,442
>> michael, do you want to come on up?

189
00:11:32,852 --> 00:11:35,252
thank you. >> thank you.

190
00:11:43,930 --> 00:11:47,534
>> well, first I want to say, lord, that I have worked

191
00:11:47,534 --> 00:11:50,300
together for over 20 years. We've had over 4000 lunches

192
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:53,603
together. He's part of my life.

193
00:11:54,541 --> 00:11:57,744
I'd like to thank my family and my mta family.

194
00:11:57,744 --> 00:12:01,748
we all depend on each other for teamwork.

195
00:12:01,748 --> 00:12:06,152
it is. It is my mother is the one that

196
00:12:06,152 --> 00:12:09,956
taught me that teamwork really matters and to help somebody

197
00:12:09,956 --> 00:12:10,890
who needs help makes a difference.

198
00:12:10,890 --> 00:12:13,290
thank you. Thank you.

199
00:12:33,913 --> 00:12:35,181
mr.. Thank you so much for being

200
00:12:35,181 --> 00:12:40,581
here and for being recognized. What a beautiful story.

201
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,720
>> thank you so much. >> continuing with my update, I

202
00:12:49,195 --> 00:12:53,400
wanted to share with the board the latest news on the state

203
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,869
budget. >> in may I reported to this

204
00:12:56,869 --> 00:13:00,807
board that the california air resources board adopted an

205
00:13:00,807 --> 00:13:04,944
amendment to the cap and invest program a centerpiece of the

206
00:13:04,944 --> 00:13:08,147
state's climate strategy. We anticipated that those

207
00:13:08,147 --> 00:13:12,838
amendments would significantly cut funding to the greenhouse

208
00:13:12,838 --> 00:13:16,241
gas reduction fund. That fund has supported transit

209
00:13:16,241 --> 00:13:19,845
agencies throughout the state including the s.f. Mta.

210
00:13:19,845 --> 00:13:23,515
the greenhouse gas reduction fund expenditure plan places

211
00:13:23,515 --> 00:13:29,721
programs that we rely on in tier three together with the

212
00:13:29,721 --> 00:13:33,125
new state budget that was enacted after the air resources

213
00:13:33,125 --> 00:13:34,526
board approved the changes to the cap and invest program.

214
00:13:34,526 --> 00:13:39,326
the tier three programs will be cut by 80%.

215
00:13:40,866 --> 00:13:42,670
>> those programs and commitments support

216
00:13:42,670 --> 00:13:46,267
affordable housing, public transportation, clean air, safe

217
00:13:46,338 --> 00:13:49,475
drinking water and climate resilience in communities

218
00:13:49,475 --> 00:13:53,675
across california. >> our agency counts on those

219
00:13:53,745 --> 00:13:58,545
funds in our operating and capital budgets including

220
00:14:00,218 --> 00:14:01,687
for our low and reduced muni fare programs and capital

221
00:14:01,687 --> 00:14:05,424
projects such as our train control upgrade and muni

222
00:14:05,424 --> 00:14:08,493
forward projects. A coalition led by the

223
00:14:08,493 --> 00:14:12,364
california transit association and has sent a letter

224
00:14:12,364 --> 00:14:15,967
requesting that the governor and legislature support a one

225
00:14:15,967 --> 00:14:20,172
year solution to honor the state's previous funding

226
00:14:20,172 --> 00:14:22,441
commitments. While we work on solutions for

227
00:14:22,441 --> 00:14:27,179
future years. This would be need to be

228
00:14:27,179 --> 00:14:30,649
approved by the end of august when the legislature of session

229
00:14:30,649 --> 00:14:31,984
ends. The s.f. Mta is a part of this

230
00:14:31,984 --> 00:14:35,187
coalition along with other transit agencies, local

231
00:14:35,187 --> 00:14:38,187
governments, labor unions and others.

232
00:14:38,590 --> 00:14:42,661
the next few weeks will be critical to protecting this

233
00:14:42,661 --> 00:14:47,650
essential funding and we will continue to provide updates to

234
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:50,336
the board as this situation develops.

235
00:14:50,336 --> 00:14:54,673
>> now moving to back to school we are gearing up for students

236
00:14:54,673 --> 00:14:58,544
to go back to school on august 17th.

237
00:14:58,544 --> 00:15:02,280
in my household and in households across san francisco

238
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,218
we are adding muni service on routes that serve schools to

239
00:15:06,218 --> 00:15:10,220
make sure we can accommodate the many students who travel to

240
00:15:10,220 --> 00:15:14,920
school on muni starting on the first day of school.

241
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,950
our muni school trippers will provide extra afternoon busses

242
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:20,695
on many routes that serve schools.

243
00:15:20,766 --> 00:15:24,503
and as part of our august 29th muni service changes and more

244
00:15:24,503 --> 00:15:28,773
of those more on those in the moment in a moment we'll be

245
00:15:28,773 --> 00:15:32,578
providing a one seat ride for visitation valley to francisco

246
00:15:32,578 --> 00:15:36,248
middle school for students who previously had to transfer from

247
00:15:36,248 --> 00:15:40,151
the eight x to get to school. >> and we're adding a 28 hour

248
00:15:40,151 --> 00:15:45,560
19th avenue rapid stop at eucalyptus drive which we

249
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,493
expect to be popular with local high school students.

250
00:15:47,493 --> 00:15:51,530
one of our largest san francisco high schools.

251
00:15:51,530 --> 00:15:53,198
we're also taking steps to make sure students are safe when

252
00:15:53,198 --> 00:15:56,534
they travel to school. We're lowering speed limits

253
00:15:56,534 --> 00:15:59,671
around schools throughout the city a policy you approved at

254
00:15:59,671 --> 00:16:04,148
your last meeting and before the start of the school year we

255
00:16:04,148 --> 00:16:06,284
will have implemented the lower speed limits at six schools.

256
00:16:06,284 --> 00:16:11,684
we will also have upgraded school zone crossings at 40

257
00:16:12,491 --> 00:16:15,560
locations and we're implement we've implemented daylighting

258
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,497
at more than 2300 school intersections to make sure cars

259
00:16:19,497 --> 00:16:23,501
can see students who are crossing the street.

260
00:16:23,501 --> 00:16:27,172
we have completed the mission by quick build project bringing

261
00:16:27,172 --> 00:16:28,440
traffic calming high visibility crosswalks and other

262
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,910
improvements to the city's newest school the mission bay

263
00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:34,910
elementary school before it opens.

264
00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:42,180
and I had the pleasure today of meeting with over over 100

265
00:16:46,191 --> 00:16:50,328
almost 200 school crossing guards who are getting their

266
00:16:50,328 --> 00:16:53,932
annual training and their safety vests and and getting

267
00:16:53,932 --> 00:16:58,870
ready to provide the smiling morning face as as our students

268
00:16:58,870 --> 00:17:03,541
enter and in addition to the muni service changes that we're

269
00:17:03,541 --> 00:17:07,780
making to serve schools, we're going to be making some cost

270
00:17:07,780 --> 00:17:10,882
neutral service changes to reduce crowding and to improve

271
00:17:10,882 --> 00:17:14,860
the commute to work. Downtown travel has been

272
00:17:14,860 --> 00:17:17,355
growing over the last year and we want to make sure that

273
00:17:17,355 --> 00:17:20,492
people commuting downtown and muni have the best

274
00:17:20,492 --> 00:17:23,962
experience possible. On august 29th we're increasing

275
00:17:23,962 --> 00:17:27,165
frequency on the one california and on the end judah.

276
00:17:27,165 --> 00:17:34,390
>> we are also shifting back to larger busses on the five our

277
00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:38,110
fulton rapid and we're making very specific capacity

278
00:17:38,110 --> 00:17:43,510
increases during our busiest times on the 22 fillmore the 29

279
00:17:44,115 --> 00:17:48,520
sunset, the 38 geary rapid and the 49 venice mission.

280
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,389
so later this week you'll be able to find a complete list of

281
00:17:52,389 --> 00:17:55,726
the service changes and sfm takes com slash service

282
00:17:55,726 --> 00:18:00,640
changes. And I really want to thank our

283
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,601
staff for identifying identifying how to get the most

284
00:18:03,601 --> 00:18:07,672
out of our limited resources to benefit our riders.

285
00:18:07,672 --> 00:18:11,609
>> I'd like to end this report with a short video about our

286
00:18:11,609 --> 00:18:15,480
internship program. We offer dozens of paid

287
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,949
internships this summer many of them through partnerships with

288
00:18:18,949 --> 00:18:19,884
the s.f. Unified school district.

289
00:18:19,884 --> 00:18:23,880
the japanese community youth council and other

290
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,688
organizations. Our staff helps students build

291
00:18:27,225 --> 00:18:30,895
real world skills they can use to enter the trades, pursue

292
00:18:30,895 --> 00:18:34,632
transit planning and more. We're thrilled to make this

293
00:18:34,632 --> 00:18:38,169
investment in san francisco youth and in our city.

294
00:18:38,169 --> 00:18:42,400
and we're proud that so many of our existing staff came through

295
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,400
one of our internship programs .

296
00:18:45,977 --> 00:18:47,445
the video you're about to watch is about the high school

297
00:18:47,445 --> 00:18:54,645
interns who supported our meter and sign jobs in the city with

298
00:18:57,604 --> 00:19:01,674
the sfm to parking meter shop. I'm here at our assigned

299
00:19:01,674 --> 00:19:05,110
division facility where we are working with some high school

300
00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:08,949
interns who are developing real world skills, fabricating signs

301
00:19:08,949 --> 00:19:09,949
. >> come on in and let me show

302
00:19:09,949 --> 00:19:11,285
you what they're up to. You know, it's important for us

303
00:19:11,285 --> 00:19:13,821
to get the kids from high schools interested in the

304
00:19:13,821 --> 00:19:14,888
trades. We've hosted interns every

305
00:19:14,888 --> 00:19:18,358
summer for the past few years. You know, our job is to give

306
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:21,295
them exposure to the skills that they need to maybe one day

307
00:19:21,295 --> 00:19:24,297
join the force themselves whether that's installing

308
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:25,299
meters, installing signs, painting.

309
00:19:25,299 --> 00:19:29,102
there's a lot of things that we do here at the shops.

310
00:19:29,102 --> 00:19:31,905
and in the case of these interns here they are making

311
00:19:31,905 --> 00:19:33,173
signs doing all sorts of fabrication work and they're

312
00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:36,176
earning a paycheck while they do it.

313
00:19:36,176 --> 00:19:39,379
this program is part of a citywide effort to help open

314
00:19:39,379 --> 00:19:40,580
doors for young people by investing in the next

315
00:19:40,580 --> 00:19:44,184
generation of welders, builders and skilled craftspeople.

316
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:47,540
we are investing in the future of our city.

317
00:19:47,540 --> 00:19:48,522
in addition to internships and s.f. Mta shops we also have

318
00:19:48,522 --> 00:19:51,725
interns learning real world skills in our maintenance yards

319
00:19:51,725 --> 00:19:54,725
and offices throughout the city.

320
00:19:54,995 --> 00:19:56,463
they're also getting face time with city engineers

321
00:19:56,463 --> 00:19:59,666
and learning all about the behind the scenes work that

322
00:19:59,666 --> 00:20:00,801
goes into effective street design and management.

323
00:20:00,801 --> 00:20:03,337
big shout out to the san francisco unified school

324
00:20:03,337 --> 00:20:06,473
district and the san francisco human rights commission as well

325
00:20:06,473 --> 00:20:07,808
as all the other city organizations that helped to

326
00:20:07,808 --> 00:20:13,808
make this program a reality. >> and that concludes my report

327
00:20:21,155 --> 00:20:21,822
. >> thank you.

328
00:20:21,822 --> 00:20:25,759
director kirschbaum will now open public comment on the

329
00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:31,159
director's report. Before I do that I would like

330
00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:37,971

331
00:20:37,971 --> 00:20:41,308

332
00:20:41,308 --> 00:20:44,844
those were the special recognitions that we heard

333
00:20:44,844 --> 00:20:50,844
about the state budget update. Back to school update the

334
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,390
service changes going into effect on august 29th and the

internships at the sfm to sign shops.

336
00:21:00,327 --> 00:21:04,330
if you feel the director missed addressing a topic you may

00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:07,734
comment on that during item nine which is general public

338

for alida dupree. >> thank you.

347
00:21:47,778 --> 00:21:49,179
chair janet taylor for the members alida dupree for the

348
00:21:49,179 --> 00:21:51,915
record, she and christine foltz haven't been here for a while.

349
00:21:51,915 --> 00:21:55,515
>> good report. Lots of interesting things.

350
00:21:55,719 --> 00:21:59,190
I hope we can preserve that money.

351
00:21:59,190 --> 00:22:05,190
I'm very concerned about public bodies that control money are

352
00:22:07,197 --> 00:22:10,801
getting cold feet in this most important work of funding

353
00:22:10,801 --> 00:22:15,100
public transportation and clearing up our air

354
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,609
and water. As I depend on public

355
00:22:18,609 --> 00:22:22,946
transportation and army, our money doesn't need a lifeline.

356
00:22:22,946 --> 00:22:28,946
>> it needs a houseboat. So let's keep working on that

357
00:22:29,219 --> 00:22:30,821
and hopefully somebody off line will show me where I can find

358
00:22:30,821 --> 00:22:33,821
out about this service. Service?

359
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:38,229
service changes. I know I'm in bart mode.

360
00:22:38,229 --> 00:22:45,368
station agent so so I can learn about how that's going to

361
00:22:45,368 --> 00:22:48,639
affect me because I spend a lot of time here and I don't want

362
00:22:48,639 --> 00:22:52,243
to get blindsided when I'm out in the street but transit app

363
00:22:52,243 --> 00:22:56,113
helps and thank you for the video about internships.

364
00:22:56,113 --> 00:23:00,651
I hope we can have a lot more of that.

365
00:23:00,651 --> 00:23:03,520
>> I didn't have that grown up. I hope that we will be always

366
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,525
willing to accept people who are different into internships

367
00:23:07,525 --> 00:23:11,796
because I believe in the benefits of a diverse society

368
00:23:11,796 --> 00:23:15,650
that welcomes people who are different.

369
00:23:15,650 --> 00:23:16,333
yeah I never learned how to build sites.

370
00:23:16,333 --> 00:23:19,200
I just barely made it out of high school.

371
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,140
while these fine respectable young folks were are doing

372
00:23:23,140 --> 00:23:27,811
internships and learning about muni when I was that age I was

373
00:23:27,811 --> 00:23:31,214
sip and faire in the new york city subway was really good at

374
00:23:31,214 --> 00:23:34,884
it until I until they stopped me.

375
00:23:34,884 --> 00:23:39,356
now I pay fare in new york city subway and I pay fare in your

376
00:23:39,356 --> 00:23:43,159
subway with a small s. >> so thank you.

377
00:23:43,159 --> 00:23:46,759
thank you. Next speaker good afternoon

378
00:23:52,636 --> 00:23:56,640
griffin lee on behalf of connect nsf.

379
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,440
no comments, just questions about the service changes.

380
00:24:02,579 --> 00:24:06,249
I first I feel like this maybe should have its own agenda item

381
00:24:06,249 --> 00:24:10,387
given it's a pretty big announcement to tho.

382
00:24:10,387 --> 00:24:14,992
>> where is the additional funding coming from to increase

383
00:24:14,992 --> 00:24:18,995
service again of course where it's a part of our public

384
00:24:18,995 --> 00:24:22,666
transit but when you're asking for not one but two tax

385
00:24:22,666 --> 00:24:26,670
measures to pass this november I think every item should come

386
00:24:26,670 --> 00:24:30,270
with financials regarding transparency around financials

387
00:24:33,410 --> 00:24:36,947
,the source of funding how much is it going to cost to run

388
00:24:36,947 --> 00:24:39,947
the operation, the additional operation?

389
00:24:40,310 --> 00:24:44,235
I mean there's question marks around how much it'll cost.

390
00:24:44,235 --> 00:24:47,971
for numerous reasons. But one we know that transit

391
00:24:47,971 --> 00:24:52,109
for kids is subsidized today. So where is that?

392
00:24:52,109 --> 00:24:55,645
all those questions all the above around funding is I think

393
00:24:55,645 --> 00:24:59,717
really critical when you're asking for not one but two tax

394
00:24:59,717 --> 00:25:02,452
measures this november. Thank you very much.

395
00:25:02,452 --> 00:25:03,653
>> thank you. Any other speakers in the room

396
00:25:03,653 --> 00:25:06,924
for public comment on this item?

397
00:25:06,924 --> 00:25:12,729
seeing none in the room I do have two accommodation requests

398
00:25:12,729 --> 00:25:15,533
for speaker you've been unmuted.

399
00:25:15,533 --> 00:25:20,933
you have two minutes. >> yeah everyone one thing I'm

400
00:25:20,938 --> 00:25:27,538
concerned about is the notion of service for the public at

401
00:25:28,478 --> 00:25:31,882
large. Now I realize that you're

402
00:25:31,882 --> 00:25:35,482
making obligation for attendance with school.

403
00:25:35,819 --> 00:25:39,623
that's good. And also for the early morning

404
00:25:39,623 --> 00:25:46,823
and maybe evening right now I'm from downtown but I don't no

405
00:25:50,567 --> 00:25:54,167
longer have a neighborhood living there.

406
00:25:54,438 --> 00:25:58,109
so that's the concern and I have because public

407
00:25:58,109 --> 00:26:01,709
transportation should really be for everybody.

408
00:26:02,179 --> 00:26:04,579
>> thank you. Thank you.

409
00:26:13,591 --> 00:26:17,528
second speaker you have two minutes provide comment.

410
00:26:17,528 --> 00:26:21,128
>> hello, this is michael petrella again.

411
00:26:21,498 --> 00:26:28,980
I am very concerned that there were two directors who made

412
00:26:29,273 --> 00:26:33,410
records they were reading from printed documents.

413
00:26:33,410 --> 00:26:37,214
they weren't just talking off the top of their head.

414
00:26:37,214 --> 00:26:40,814
they were reading from public documents.

415
00:26:40,818 --> 00:26:46,218
>> yet the agenda for today doesn't include those written

416
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,692
reports that they were reading from.

417
00:26:52,163 --> 00:26:55,833
I looked at the minutes from your last meeting.

418
00:26:55,833 --> 00:26:56,967
thank you. I found out where they are.

419
00:26:56,967 --> 00:27:03,174
I read a minute from july 21st and again there is nothing

420
00:27:03,174 --> 00:27:06,977
there indicating how to get the written comment the written

421
00:27:06,977 --> 00:27:12,977
report that the director made there were what good 4 or 5

422
00:27:14,184 --> 00:27:19,584
items that were discussed in the past few minutes

423
00:27:20,725 --> 00:27:25,395
and there's no report. >> why aren't you posting the

424
00:27:25,395 --> 00:27:31,395
advance written reports that the director is making and why

425
00:27:32,672 --> 00:27:37,209
don't you included in the minute you really need to start

426
00:27:37,209 --> 00:27:42,609
providing those report that the director makes during the

427
00:27:43,749 --> 00:27:48,353
meetings I am at a real disadvantage because I cannot

428
00:27:48,353 --> 00:27:54,353
read what it said so please insist that the director

429
00:27:58,297 --> 00:28:05,497
provide a written report at the meeting and also on line so

430
00:28:06,105 --> 00:28:09,575
that we can read it before the meeting happened.

431
00:28:09,575 --> 00:28:10,443
>> thank you. Thank you.

432
00:28:10,443 --> 00:28:13,443
no other speakers. >> thank you.

433
00:28:13,445 --> 00:28:17,716
public comment is now closed. Colleagues, do you have any

434
00:28:17,716 --> 00:28:22,516
questions or comments for director kirschbaum vice chair

435
00:28:24,924 --> 00:28:29,462
kahana thank you chair thank you julie for your report.

436
00:28:29,462 --> 00:28:33,599
two questions came to mind particularly around the one

437
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:36,535
seat ride from his valley to francisco middle school.

438
00:28:36,535 --> 00:28:40,606
curious if you could talk about the origin engagement that's

439
00:28:40,606 --> 00:28:43,742
happening with families to make them aware of the of this

440
00:28:43,742 --> 00:28:44,944
resource for them and especially for monolingual

441
00:28:44,944 --> 00:28:49,144
families. >> I am not aware of the

442
00:28:55,821 --> 00:29:00,559
specific details of the outreach I, I do think the the

443
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:05,364
change came in part based on feedback that we have gotten

444
00:29:05,364 --> 00:29:11,369
from the school so I'd be happy to follow up with a more

445
00:29:11,369 --> 00:29:15,373
specific answer as to how we are letting folks know about

446
00:29:15,373 --> 00:29:16,308
the change. Thanks julie and I would

447
00:29:16,308 --> 00:29:20,513
definitely encourage us to work with school administrators

448
00:29:20,513 --> 00:29:24,249
and typically schools have packets that they distribute at

449
00:29:24,249 --> 00:29:27,653
the beginning of the year and encourage some information

450
00:29:27,653 --> 00:29:31,457
their flier something to be included in this packets.

451
00:29:31,457 --> 00:29:34,860
this valley has a lot of folks that are monolingual in the

452
00:29:34,860 --> 00:29:38,531
community and so would ensure that any sort of outreach

453
00:29:38,531 --> 00:29:42,535
engagement material there is is accessible to those monolingual

454
00:29:42,535 --> 00:29:47,335
families. And then my next question is on

455
00:29:49,674 --> 00:29:53,545
the capital invest program. We're in august already and so

456
00:29:53,545 --> 00:29:57,949
this this feels quite pressing and curious to understand when

457
00:29:57,949 --> 00:30:02,870
would writers and folks feel the impacts if come end of

458
00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:08,687
august either no decision has been made or the posture has

459
00:30:09,940 --> 00:30:12,631
not moved or folks are committed to to these changes?

460
00:30:12,631 --> 00:30:19,831
>> we are in the process right now of closing out the year

461
00:30:20,306 --> 00:30:24,856
and as we do on a regular basis looking at all of our budgeted

462
00:30:24,856 --> 00:30:30,856
funding sources, looking at where we are I exceeding our

463
00:30:32,797 --> 00:30:38,797
revenue expected options seeing unknown issues like this and we

464
00:30:40,738 --> 00:30:47,338
would bring to the board a recommended set of next steps

465
00:30:52,830 --> 00:30:56,883
once we know if we are ultimately successful

466
00:30:59,230 --> 00:31:03,161
in getting a one year reprieve. So we would not implement any

467
00:31:03,161 --> 00:31:09,761
changes to the public until we review how this change would

468
00:31:10,969 --> 00:31:16,969
fit into our kind of larger financial picture and then

469
00:31:19,444 --> 00:31:23,314
would bring a recommended strategy to the board.

470
00:31:23,314 --> 00:31:26,518
>> so at the earliest are we looking at six months from now,

471
00:31:26,518 --> 00:31:30,588
a year from now just I know I say it will be something that

472
00:31:30,588 --> 00:31:36,588
we would address in our in bree's next quarterly report

473
00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:41,666
to you all which I anticipate to be in late september.

474
00:31:41,666 --> 00:31:45,603
>> thank you julie. And based on your report we can

475
00:31:45,603 --> 00:31:49,673
appreciate that this is something that impacts various

476
00:31:49,673 --> 00:31:53,110
points of operation for them too.

477
00:31:53,110 --> 00:31:56,481
and so I know that each one of those have different budgetary

478
00:31:56,481 --> 00:32:00,752
considerations to consider and so I appreciate that before

479
00:32:00,752 --> 00:32:02,860
any sort of drastic changes happen we'll have an

480
00:32:02,860 --> 00:32:05,220
opportunity to weigh in on what that looks like.

481
00:32:05,220 --> 00:32:06,240
thank you. Thank you for that

482
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,240
clarification. Thank you.

483
00:32:12,697 --> 00:32:15,697
vice chair cabinet director lindsay.

484
00:32:16,301 --> 00:32:17,702
>> thank you, madam chair. Thank you, julie for your

485
00:32:17,702 --> 00:32:21,302
report to our public commenters points.

486
00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:30,908
can you toggle a little bit about how I was doing these

487
00:32:31,382 --> 00:32:35,386
upcoming service changes are cost neutral so can you talk

488
00:32:35,386 --> 00:32:39,791
about how staff and the agency is able to do that with with

489
00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:43,795
keeping the the service changes cost neutral?

490
00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:47,995
>> thank you dr. Kenzie for that question.

491
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:54,538
the restart of school is built into the our budget and so

492
00:32:54,538 --> 00:32:58,410
while we don't for example provide the school trippers

493
00:32:58,410 --> 00:33:05,610
over the summer they are built in to our budget process for

494
00:33:06,151 --> 00:33:12,151
school days throughout the year we also have an incredibly

495
00:33:14,225 --> 00:33:18,696
creative service planning and scheduling team and some of

496
00:33:18,696 --> 00:33:25,296
the changes they're making are as creative as as you know

497
00:33:29,775 --> 00:33:33,578
having something start a few minutes earlier or a few

498
00:33:33,578 --> 00:33:37,783
minutes later just to get that big rush that's happening

499
00:33:37,783 --> 00:33:43,783
and then we are always optimizing and refining our our

500
00:33:48,793 --> 00:33:52,798
our operator schedules in the case of the five fulton for

501
00:33:52,798 --> 00:33:57,680
example, we when we closed potrero we initially started

502
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:03,668
with a modest number of 64 busses on the route and more 40

503
00:34:06,477 --> 00:34:07,879
foot busses because our maintenance teams were going to

504
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:13,279
be maintaining them in a temporary facility and we

505
00:34:14,860 --> 00:34:18,489
didn't want to overextend that operations as those kinks have

506
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:24,429
been worked out they are now more confident that they can

507
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:28,499
have 64 busses on the full route which means we need

508
00:34:28,499 --> 00:34:33,772
slightly less 40 foot busses which then frees up 44 busses

509
00:34:33,772 --> 00:34:34,772
on routes like the one in california.

510
00:34:34,772 --> 00:34:42,380
so we're when I say that they are cost neutral I truly mean

511
00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:46,784
that that our our staff is looking at this entire

512
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:52,184
optimization and service puzzle and making smart choices to

513
00:34:53,725 --> 00:34:57,325
keep up with our changing conditions.

514
00:34:57,528 --> 00:35:01,999
thank you and I know you wish you had the opportunity to

515
00:35:01,999 --> 00:35:05,670
shadow your staff so they'll give you that.

516
00:35:05,670 --> 00:35:08,606
>> thank you, madam chair. Thank you.

517
00:35:08,606 --> 00:35:13,406
thank you, director lindsey director kirschbaum I another

518
00:35:18,883 --> 00:35:22,353
other thing that came up in public comment is where

519
00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:26,891
members of the public can find information about these service

520
00:35:26,891 --> 00:35:31,362
changes which I believe just in my experience this is this

521
00:35:31,362 --> 00:35:38,436
is something that happens at the end of summer when as we

522
00:35:38,436 --> 00:35:42,507
anticipate the pretty dramatic change in ridership that the

523
00:35:42,507 --> 00:35:48,507
start of school represents, where can the public find that

524
00:35:49,781 --> 00:35:53,381
information about what the specific changes?

525
00:35:53,584 --> 00:35:57,722
>> thank you for that question within the next few days we

526
00:35:57,722 --> 00:36:01,993
will have information up at sfm taking some slash service

527
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:05,864
changes for the majority of our customers.

528
00:36:05,864 --> 00:36:09,411
these changes should be relatively invisible but

529
00:36:09,411 --> 00:36:14,211
positive. So for example if the end due

530
00:36:15,950 --> 00:36:19,687
to comes every nine minutes instead of every ten minutes

531
00:36:19,687 --> 00:36:23,887
you're not changing your overall travel patterns.

532
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:30,759
but because that's about a 10% increase in space on the train

533
00:36:30,899 --> 00:36:38,172
you will have a more pleasant commute in for some of the very

534
00:36:38,172 --> 00:36:42,376
specific changes like the changes to the elementary or

535
00:36:42,376 --> 00:36:46,180
the middle school. I think you're really reaching

536
00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:50,117
out and working with the school is a wonderful suggestion

537
00:36:50,117 --> 00:36:56,991
in and then for our folks that can benefit from the 28 hour

538
00:36:56,991 --> 00:37:01,730
additional stop that signage will be right on the stop so

539
00:37:01,730 --> 00:37:05,667
that as people are waiting for the 28 they'll see both because

540
00:37:05,667 --> 00:37:09,537
the bus will be stopping and because of the signage at

541
00:37:09,537 --> 00:37:12,674
the stop that the 28 hour is now an option for them.

542
00:37:12,674 --> 00:37:19,214
so for the majority of our customers these changes are not

543
00:37:19,214 --> 00:37:23,818
going to make it more complex to navigate the system.

544
00:37:23,818 --> 00:37:27,756
there's not a lot of learning to do but we do think customers

545
00:37:27,756 --> 00:37:33,756
will see some small, small but meaningful benefits to their

546
00:37:34,962 --> 00:37:35,629
travel. >> okay.

547
00:37:35,629 --> 00:37:39,701
and just to recap what I've heard is that the service

548
00:37:39,701 --> 00:37:45,101
changes are both cost neutral and they'll be seamlessly

549
00:37:49,444 --> 00:37:53,981
experienced by the riders just in improved service.

550
00:37:53,981 --> 00:37:59,381
>> that is correct. We 2 or 3 times a year make

551
00:38:00,855 --> 00:38:05,994
small changes to our schedules that type of nimbleness has

552
00:38:05,994 --> 00:38:10,598
allowed us to really meet the customer needs.

553
00:38:10,598 --> 00:38:17,198
it's also an opportunity for operators to pick new work so

554
00:38:17,671 --> 00:38:21,209
they might want to learn a new route.

555
00:38:21,209 --> 00:38:25,130
their schedule may change that. They want to be able to

556
00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:28,416
accommodate it. So it's also an important

557
00:38:28,416 --> 00:38:32,487
employee benefit that we do these periodic schedule changes

558
00:38:32,487 --> 00:38:37,887
very good. We will move on to the next

559
00:38:40,161 --> 00:38:41,229
item. >> secretary silva places you

560
00:38:41,229 --> 00:38:45,990
on item number seven citizens advisory council report we have

561
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:48,990
no report today. >> thank you.

562
00:38:48,303 --> 00:38:52,400
please call the next item is your item number eight new or

563
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,400
unfinished business by board members?

564
00:38:55,110 --> 00:39:02,310
I believe that director hinchey is prepared with a report or an

565
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:09,300
update on the street safety committee which met just last

566
00:39:10,110 --> 00:39:13,110
week. >> director hennessey I do

567
00:39:13,947 --> 00:39:18,219
thank you very much. Prime care yes we did have a

568
00:39:18,219 --> 00:39:21,622
street safety issue should have committee meeting.

569
00:39:21,622 --> 00:39:27,220
I last week. Vice chair given I are the

570
00:39:28,762 --> 00:39:35,362
current membership it will be very short meeting but but a

571
00:39:35,703 --> 00:39:39,774
very comprehensive review by staff so we'll provide a short

572
00:39:39,774 --> 00:39:45,774
update and the presentation of materials will be are available

573
00:39:48,181 --> 00:39:54,855
online if any member of the public would like to view them

574
00:39:54,855 --> 00:40:00,855
in more detail. But again it was a six month

575
00:40:01,795 --> 00:40:06,595
review of the three safety initiative primarily mostly

576
00:40:09,203 --> 00:40:13,406
giving us an update on the status of the action in the

577
00:40:13,406 --> 00:40:18,206
street safety initiative that are under 70 is jurisdiction

578
00:40:20,347 --> 00:40:24,418
some of which are near completion or are strongly

579
00:40:24,418 --> 00:40:28,621
being worked on. There was a lot of talk

580
00:40:28,621 --> 00:40:35,221
and questions from the two of us specifically around the new

581
00:40:36,296 --> 00:40:42,896
device and safety working group this that being convened led by

582
00:40:43,971 --> 00:40:45,238
the mayor's office. We had questions specifically

583
00:40:45,238 --> 00:40:48,509
about who's going to be on that group, what kind of

584
00:40:48,509 --> 00:40:53,909
recommendations might they have and also funding for such

585
00:40:55,449 --> 00:41:01,449
recommendations and what that might look like this this group

586
00:41:02,589 --> 00:41:06,794
and this idea is in its infancy and so the the group has yet to

587
00:41:06,794 --> 00:41:12,194
convene so the committee the committee looks looks forward

588
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:19,400
to deeper engagement with that topic in future meetings also

589
00:41:24,944 --> 00:41:31,544
so items that have been worked on and nearly completed by

590
00:41:33,860 --> 00:41:37,291
staff include the community recorders program that you just

591
00:41:37,291 --> 00:41:44,491
recently approved in our so I'm one of our most recent meetings

592
00:41:46,967 --> 00:41:53,567
that corridor wants later in this summer or fall and we

593
00:41:54,181 --> 00:42:00,855
also will be getting an update sort of on how that going

594
00:42:00,855 --> 00:42:05,326
in future meetings other actions include how we can best

595
00:42:05,326 --> 00:42:11,926
work with public works when it comes to repaving and tagging

596
00:42:12,133 --> 00:42:17,533
along with repair projects etc. Also there has been

597
00:42:20,542 --> 00:42:24,612
collaboration with the fire department on a sort of street

598
00:42:24,612 --> 00:42:29,412
design manual. The staff is working with the

599
00:42:31,686 --> 00:42:35,223
fire department to be more specific about specific

600
00:42:35,223 --> 00:42:41,223
treatments and how those can be installed meet our street

601
00:42:42,563 --> 00:42:46,767
safety needs but also the idea of the fire department.

602
00:42:46,767 --> 00:42:53,967
so work is being done there also there what we did review

603
00:42:56,177 --> 00:43:02,777
the crash data for the beginning of the year and noted

604
00:43:03,984 --> 00:43:10,584
that overall of cooling are on the decrease but severe injury

605
00:43:15,530 --> 00:43:19,200
and fatal fatality collisions are holding steady

606
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,400
unfortunately. So we know that we're all

607
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,408
in the city doing great work on street safety but we all know

608
00:43:27,408 --> 00:43:34,815
that there is more that more to do and so we anticipate that

609
00:43:34,815 --> 00:43:38,753
our next meeting will be sometime before the end of the

610
00:43:38,753 --> 00:43:45,353
calendar year and at that meeting we hope to have further

611
00:43:46,227 --> 00:43:50,297
updates as the street safety initiative will be coming out

612
00:43:50,297 --> 00:43:54,235
for its one year anniversary by the end of the year.

613
00:43:54,235 --> 00:43:58,439
and so that is it. >> dr. Kahana, do you have

614
00:43:58,439 --> 00:44:02,390
anything you'd like to add? No.

615
00:44:04,578 --> 00:44:05,513
your update was quite comprehensive.

616
00:44:05,513 --> 00:44:08,513
thank you, director quincy excellent.

617
00:44:08,650 --> 00:44:12,319
>> thank you, madam chair. Thank you very much.

618
00:44:12,319 --> 00:44:15,319
director hennessy for that update.

619
00:44:19,127 --> 00:44:22,596
>> colleagues, are there any other items to share for new or

620
00:44:22,596 --> 00:44:24,996
unfinished business? >> very good.

621
00:44:27,134 --> 00:44:33,734
will now open public comment for this item for two minutes

622
00:44:33,808 --> 00:44:34,743
each. >> members of the public

623
00:44:34,743 --> 00:44:38,790
wishing to provide comment will have two minutes each.

624
00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:41,749
there will be a warning sound at 30s in a chime when the time

625
00:44:41,749 --> 00:44:44,769
is up any speakers can come up to the podium at this time.

626
00:44:44,769 --> 00:44:48,739
>> good afternoon chair carlisle directors and staff.

627
00:44:48,739 --> 00:44:50,374
I was actually going to comment on non agenda public comment

628
00:44:50,374 --> 00:44:53,244
but I thank you to chair committee chair lindsay for

629
00:44:53,244 --> 00:44:56,447
providing a summary of the street safety committee.

630
00:44:56,447 --> 00:44:57,915
my name is tim greenberg. I'm the advocacy director at

631
00:44:57,915 --> 00:45:00,918
walk san francisco which advocates to make san francisco

632
00:45:00,918 --> 00:45:04,722
streets safe for pedestrians and I'm here to comment

633
00:45:04,722 --> 00:45:06,190
regarding last thursday street safety committee meeting walk

634
00:45:06,190 --> 00:45:08,259
our staff was in attendance and we continue to be grateful

635
00:45:08,259 --> 00:45:12,329
that this forum exists for the public to hear substantive

636
00:45:12,329 --> 00:45:13,531
updates on the street safety initiative.

637
00:45:13,531 --> 00:45:16,670
it's an important space and it's the only one of its

638
00:45:16,670 --> 00:45:19,804
kind where members of the public can be informed and and

639
00:45:19,804 --> 00:45:23,674
make their voices heard on our city's traffic safety crisis.

640
00:45:23,674 --> 00:45:27,611
>> at last thursday's meeting we feel that we've regretfully

641
00:45:27,611 --> 00:45:29,130
heard very little new information about progress that

642
00:45:29,130 --> 00:45:34,151
the mta is making to implement the street safety initiative.

643
00:45:34,151 --> 00:45:35,752
and while we're grateful that this form exists, we want it to

644
00:45:35,752 --> 00:45:39,290
be productive and we were we were just disappointed by the

645
00:45:39,290 --> 00:45:42,493
depth of the presentation and shared with the public last

646
00:45:42,493 --> 00:45:46,163
thursday given what we had already known.

647
00:45:46,163 --> 00:45:49,766
this meeting was the six month update on reforms to address

648
00:45:49,766 --> 00:45:53,770
traffic safety in our city the traffic safety crisis in our

649
00:45:53,770 --> 00:45:57,307
city and we were frustrated that very little new

650
00:45:57,307 --> 00:46:01,178
information was shared on progress and also by just the

651
00:46:01,178 --> 00:46:04,915
short duration and depth of discussion given it was an

652
00:46:04,915 --> 00:46:08,452
important six month update and we also find it challenging

653
00:46:08,452 --> 00:46:09,787
that the committee does not have a regular meeting time

654
00:46:09,787 --> 00:46:13,256
which makes it very difficult for members of the public to

655
00:46:13,256 --> 00:46:16,256
participate in this important conversation.

656
00:46:16,260 --> 00:46:19,797
we also hope that a third member of this body will step

657
00:46:19,797 --> 00:46:21,131
up soon to fill the empty seat on the committee.

658
00:46:21,131 --> 00:46:24,668
it's important not only that the mta is implementing the

659
00:46:24,668 --> 00:46:28,606
street safety initiative but that members of the public have

660
00:46:28,606 --> 00:46:30,730
meaningful opportunities to hear substantive updates on

661
00:46:30,730 --> 00:46:32,409
progress and make their voices heard.

662
00:46:32,409 --> 00:46:34,809
>> thank you. Thank you.

663
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,148
next speaker for new hour unfinished business by board

664
00:46:37,148 --> 00:46:40,217
members. >> thank you for giving me the

665
00:46:40,217 --> 00:46:44,221
opportunity to speak. I feel like this seems so

666
00:46:44,221 --> 00:46:47,758
trivial but my name is mitchell shawn brown.

667
00:46:47,758 --> 00:46:51,280
I've lived in san francisco for 49 years.

668
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,498
it's my home. I've lived on castro street

669
00:46:54,498 --> 00:46:58,698
between 25th and jersey for about 30 years.

670
00:47:00,304 --> 00:47:04,641
I was rather disturbed to wake up a few weeks ago to discover

671
00:47:04,641 --> 00:47:07,978
that a major change had taken place with the parking across

672
00:47:07,978 --> 00:47:13,490
the street. When I inquired why I had not

673
00:47:13,490 --> 00:47:16,987
gotten any notification I was told because station run I'm

674
00:47:16,987 --> 00:47:20,657
sorry to introduce to interrupt you are you commenting on

675
00:47:20,657 --> 00:47:23,657
director hines's street safety committee?

676
00:47:24,795 --> 00:47:28,198
no. Your opportunity to make your

00:47:28,198 --> 00:47:32,670
comment will come very shortly at which intersection nine no

>> thank you. We'll look forward to hearing

680
00:47:36,946 --> 00:47:39,282
from you shortly. Thank you.

681
00:47:39,282 --> 00:47:43,419
>> any other speakers for item number eight in the room?

request speaker you've been unmuted.

and a chair that I do have to speak regards mitchell, chabot

699
00:48:37,940 --> 00:48:40,476
and alito to brief. >> yeah apologies.

700
00:48:40,476 --> 00:48:43,279
I'm very nervous. I haven't I don't speak at

701
00:48:43,279 --> 00:48:47,349
meetings very often. >> as I said I was disturbed to

702
00:48:47,349 --> 00:48:50,886
wake up to discover a major change to the parking across my

703
00:48:50,886 --> 00:48:53,886
street. >> my neighborhood isn't bad

704
00:48:55,357 --> 00:48:59,429
for parking generally except on tuesday morning when something

705
00:48:59,429 --> 00:49:03,298
like 40% of the tuesday morning tuesday morning every second

706
00:49:03,298 --> 00:49:07,236
and fourth when something like 40% of the surrounding area

707
00:49:07,236 --> 00:49:10,906
spots are unavailable due to street cleaning but we do what

708
00:49:10,906 --> 00:49:14,577
we can. >> what I woke up to find is

709
00:49:14,577 --> 00:49:17,980
that whereas previously there were six available spots to

710
00:49:17,980 --> 00:49:22,251
park in for the you know, people living on the street

711
00:49:22,251 --> 00:49:26,121
although one was a one was a green zone that had all been

712
00:49:26,121 --> 00:49:29,258
changed. You put in four parking meter

713
00:49:29,258 --> 00:49:35,858
spots including the green zone there was one other section of

714
00:49:36,665 --> 00:49:43,673
two spots which you change to a blue zone which I support but

715
00:49:43,673 --> 00:49:45,740
for some reason even though there's room for two cars they

716
00:49:45,740 --> 00:49:48,945
put in a blue spot and painted the rest of it red for no

717
00:49:48,945 --> 00:49:52,281
apparent reason. It's not on a corner and I'm

718
00:49:52,281 --> 00:49:55,951
really I'm really disturbed that you know you know I read I

719
00:49:55,951 --> 00:49:59,555
read on social media about the so-called war on cars in the

720
00:49:59,555 --> 00:50:03,893
city and I, I thought this was just conspiracy but I really

721
00:50:03,893 --> 00:50:10,633
feel like I'm you know, being put upon I had no opportunity

722
00:50:10,633 --> 00:50:14,970
to make any any comments about this and that's why I'm here.

723
00:50:14,970 --> 00:50:18,908
I'm hoping there's some way to review this and to look into

724
00:50:18,908 --> 00:50:22,378
why why these changes were made to predominantly residential

725
00:50:22,378 --> 00:50:27,664
block there's just there's it that's all I can say.

726
00:50:27,664 --> 00:50:31,802
it's just it just seemed really inappropriate that they just

727
00:50:31,802 --> 00:50:38,402
worked around me and didn't you know you know anyway that

728
00:50:38,542 --> 00:50:39,610
that's that's what I have to say.

729
00:50:39,610 --> 00:50:43,120
thank you. >> thank you for listening.

730
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,212
thank you. Next speaker thanks again chair

731
00:50:53,823 --> 00:50:57,260
to 11 members alida dupree for the record, she and her team

732
00:50:57,260 --> 00:51:00,230
folds. I speak about lots of things

733
00:51:00,230 --> 00:51:06,102
in muting I did get to use our subway with the smallest today

734
00:51:06,102 --> 00:51:09,840
it was fine. I use it quite a bit every time

735
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,711
I get on it I it reminds me that I should go back to new

736
00:51:14,711 --> 00:51:18,480
york and use the subway with the big s so it seems like

737
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,185
we're gaining some inspiration there in both ways.

738
00:51:22,185 --> 00:51:26,255
clipper is essential. I hope someday we will have

739
00:51:26,255 --> 00:51:31,655
comprehensive fare capping or accumulation so I never overpay

740
00:51:32,862 --> 00:51:40,203
in new york because they have a seven day fare capping on the

741
00:51:40,203 --> 00:51:44,600
on their bus system and their famous subway and it's mostly

742
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,478
open payments but you can also get a plastic card or their app

743
00:51:48,478 --> 00:51:52,215
and they have omni vending machines that look like nice

744
00:51:52,215 --> 00:51:55,618
refrigerators. I don't know that our vending

745
00:51:55,618 --> 00:51:56,686
machines look like nice refrigerators.

746
00:51:56,686 --> 00:51:59,823
I don't even know how to use one but but I did use a vending

747
00:51:59,823 --> 00:52:03,426
machine that had some change that felt that I picked up off

748
00:52:03,426 --> 00:52:07,831
the ground for clipper. So I get the transfer of

749
00:52:07,831 --> 00:52:11,431
benefits and so I changed systems.

750
00:52:14,371 --> 00:52:17,707
I decide should I use muni first or bart first because

751
00:52:17,707 --> 00:52:21,311
then I get that transfer sometimes I'll get on bart for

752
00:52:21,311 --> 00:52:25,448
one stop and I transfer to muni I save about $0.40.

753
00:52:25,448 --> 00:52:29,452
>> I'm going to use the tools in my toolbox because I have to

754
00:52:29,452 --> 00:52:36,325
watch my small change if you will and maybe on the way down

755
00:52:36,325 --> 00:52:40,130
I'll I'll look at the muni vending machine which in all my

756
00:52:40,130 --> 00:52:43,733
ears I've never used I can only share things as I know them

757
00:52:43,733 --> 00:52:46,870
and I call things as I see them.

758
00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:50,407
I'm not originally from here but I have 56 years of using

759
00:52:50,407 --> 00:52:54,770
the city subway new york city subway that's counts for

760
00:52:54,770 --> 00:52:55,212
something. I look forward to your next

761
00:52:55,212 --> 00:52:57,212
meeting. Thank you.

762
00:52:57,347 --> 00:53:01,417
>> thank you. Any other speakers in the room

763
00:53:01,417 --> 00:53:02,219
for this item? Seeing none.

764
00:53:02,219 --> 00:53:07,557
I do have two accommodation requests for speaker you've

765
00:53:07,557 --> 00:53:08,625
been unmuted. You have two minutes for

766
00:53:08,625 --> 00:53:14,250
general public comment or I'm really concerned about the

767
00:53:18,769 --> 00:53:23,569
modification in traffic I mean for infrastructure generally

768
00:53:25,110 --> 00:53:30,182
one lane, one lane for driving and that's great.

769
00:53:30,182 --> 00:53:37,382
and jeff trafford and I really wonder what what this agency is

770
00:53:37,723 --> 00:53:44,323
doing for motorist I never hear anything gone for the benefit

771
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:52,270
of a motor or any other group gets one thing but nothing is

772
00:53:52,270 --> 00:53:53,672
really done for the benefit of motorists and I think you

773
00:53:53,672 --> 00:53:59,720
really have to address that there's too much congestion

774
00:53:59,878 --> 00:54:03,882
in the city driving or very inconvenient and you're

775
00:54:03,882 --> 00:54:07,482
transforming traffic lanes into a nightmare.

776
00:54:11,223 --> 00:54:15,427
so you really should address the at your meeting and that's

777
00:54:15,427 --> 00:54:19,970
all I have to say. >> thank you.

778
00:54:19,970 --> 00:54:22,697
thank you. Thank second speaker you've

779
00:54:26,370 --> 00:54:28,974
been unmuted. You have two minutes for

780
00:54:28,974 --> 00:54:32,712
general public comment. Hello this is michael petrella

781
00:54:32,712 --> 00:54:39,312
and again I am deploring that the $12 million elevator at the

782
00:54:39,318 --> 00:54:43,455
castro muni station was supposed to open in february

783
00:54:43,455 --> 00:54:50,529
and it didn't and then as that mta said it would open in july

784
00:54:50,529 --> 00:54:54,400
the $12 million elevator did not open in july.

785
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:59,137
in the past few days you quietly updated your website

786
00:54:59,137 --> 00:55:05,110
for this $12 million elevator to say it will now open in the

787
00:55:05,110 --> 00:55:09,211
fall of 2026. No date is given handicapped

788
00:55:09,281 --> 00:55:14,553
people powering with strollers. >> we are all put at a

789
00:55:14,553 --> 00:55:20,553
disadvantage because s.f. Mta is saying nothing nothing about

790
00:55:21,426 --> 00:55:27,426
why the delay in opening the $12 million elevator we are

791
00:55:29,101 --> 00:55:35,701
getting a runaround from jet in true and tweet just trying

792
00:55:36,775 --> 00:55:43,515
to find out what is the delay just in true and sweet oh when

793
00:55:43,515 --> 00:55:47,853
detailed information about who the contractors are for this

794
00:55:47,853 --> 00:55:51,790
elevator when are they going to post to some information at the

795
00:55:51,790 --> 00:55:55,994
county communication because right now nothing is posted

796
00:55:55,994 --> 00:56:03,194
there about why this delay is happening and when if ever that

797
00:56:03,669 --> 00:56:07,869
elevator will open. >> we really need information

798
00:56:08,340 --> 00:56:12,489
in now on your website and at the muni station regarding why

799
00:56:12,489 --> 00:56:17,270
there this delay and when when are you going to start

800
00:56:17,270 --> 00:56:22,427
operation on this elevator? It is inexcusable that you

801
00:56:22,900 --> 00:56:26,771
spent $12 million on it and we cannot use it.

802
00:56:26,771 --> 00:56:27,571
>> thank you. Thank you.

803
00:56:27,571 --> 00:56:30,571

00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,537
and transitions support agreement for an initial three

859
00:59:59,537 --> 01:00:02,940
month term with an option to extend for up to three

860
01:00:02,940 --> 01:00:06,276
additional months at an amount not to exceed approximately

861
01:00:06,276 --> 01:00:09,276
$5.7 million. Thank you board members.

862
01:00:20,758 --> 01:00:22,226
this item is seeking your approval for a short term

863
01:00:22,226 --> 01:00:27,260
security services contract to commence on march 31st, 2027.

864
01:00:31,302 --> 01:00:33,370
and before I turn it over to staff, I do want to flag that

865
01:00:33,370 --> 01:00:39,377
this is a proactive measure and sort of an example of us

866
01:00:39,377 --> 01:00:43,247
learning on these large contracts when we brought you

867
01:00:43,247 --> 01:00:49,847
the parking app contracts last year we did not have a

868
01:00:51,388 --> 01:00:57,988
transition contract in place and it really took a lot of

869
01:00:58,662 --> 01:01:02,934
work between the contractor and our streets director

870
01:01:02,934 --> 01:01:09,406
victoria wise to set up the needed transition space so this

871
01:01:09,406 --> 01:01:13,606
contract before you today represents that learning.

872
01:01:17,281 --> 01:01:22,190
it is a key first piece to our broader efficiency goal of

873
01:01:22,190 --> 01:01:28,619
trying to set up these large contracts with as much learning

874
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,760
and innovation and creativity as possible.

875
01:01:33,364 --> 01:01:37,968
I'm very appreciative of allied universal, our current

876
01:01:37,968 --> 01:01:44,568
contractor who has been very open to this concept of putting

877
01:01:45,510 --> 01:01:52,110
in a transition in a short term contract and appreciative of

878
01:01:52,516 --> 01:01:56,862
both our director of contracts and procurement julia

879
01:01:56,862 --> 01:02:00,133
friedlander as well as our deputy director of security

880
01:02:00,133 --> 01:02:04,537
teresa schism for working on this as well as the larger rfp

881
01:02:04,537 --> 01:02:09,337
which will be coming to you next month.

882
01:02:09,542 --> 01:02:15,814
so with that I'd like to bring up julia friedlander as well as

883
01:02:15,814 --> 01:02:19,414
teresa to support. >> thank you director

884
01:02:20,886 --> 01:02:23,755
kirschbaum good afternoon chair to and members of the board.

885
01:02:23,755 --> 01:02:29,755
we have a very very much appreciate the opportunity to

886
01:02:30,763 --> 01:02:34,633
share this strategy that will help us avoid the circumstances

887
01:02:34,633 --> 01:02:38,437
that we were in previously and the only details I would

888
01:02:38,437 --> 01:02:43,420
add are that this is for a short this is a three month

889
01:02:43,420 --> 01:02:49,642
extension starting march 31st of 2027 and it will then be we

890
01:02:50,716 --> 01:02:54,520
have the opportunity to extend it for a further three month

891
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,790
period if that's necessary and I'm going to turn it over.

892
01:02:57,790 --> 01:03:01,327
we've been working very closely together as a team between

893
01:03:01,327 --> 01:03:05,398
contracts and procurement and the security team and to

894
01:03:05,398 --> 01:03:09,402
turn it over to teresa and if you have questions either on

895
01:03:09,402 --> 01:03:10,870
the procurement side or the security side, we're both here

896
01:03:10,870 --> 01:03:13,270
to answer. Good afternoon.

897
01:03:13,338 --> 01:03:14,873
just one thing I wanted to add is it's so important to have

898
01:03:14,873 --> 01:03:19,673
this transitional support for operational handoff work force

899
01:03:20,412 --> 01:03:21,414
and city resources and service continuity.

900
01:03:21,414 --> 01:03:25,417
we just need this contract in place to ensure that we have

901
01:03:25,417 --> 01:03:28,821
our security services seamless throughout the transition.

902
01:03:28,821 --> 01:03:32,892
if it doesn't happen to be the same vendor that we have this

903
01:03:32,892 --> 01:03:37,920
in place to ensure that seamless transition.

904
01:03:39,297 --> 01:03:42,897
thank you. Miss friedlander and masochism

905
01:03:43,635 --> 01:03:47,506
and director kirschbaum I'm very grateful for your

906
01:03:47,506 --> 01:03:52,906
presentation and directors. Do you have any questions or

907
01:03:55,781 --> 01:03:58,181
comments? >> director henderson thank

908
01:03:59,185 --> 01:04:00,319
you. >> thank you chair I just have

909
01:04:00,319 --> 01:04:01,319
one question about the timeline.

910
01:04:01,319 --> 01:04:06,725
do you I understand that this is six months this is up to six

911
01:04:06,725 --> 01:04:09,328
months after the march 31st deadline.

912
01:04:09,328 --> 01:04:13,132
I'm just curious about the average time it takes to

913
01:04:13,132 --> 01:04:17,200
procure this type of contract like do you think it will be

914
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:23,200
close to that six months from march is what september?

915
01:04:23,341 --> 01:04:29,615
>> thank you for that question. We do very much hope that we

916
01:04:29,615 --> 01:04:33,953
will be coming to you in june or before june so that by june

917
01:04:33,953 --> 01:04:38,230
we have a contract that you have approved and that the

918
01:04:38,230 --> 01:04:38,958
board of supervisors has approved.

919
01:04:38,958 --> 01:04:42,361
we're building that additional three months in just just to be

920
01:04:42,361 --> 01:04:46,310
certain we have done a much deeper dive than we would

921
01:04:46,310 --> 01:04:53,231
typically do on an effort to to compete again a long standing

922
01:04:56,125 --> 01:05:00,396
recurring service agreement. And so that deeper dive we've

923
01:05:00,396 --> 01:05:01,864
been really trying to scrub the contract to make sure that we

924
01:05:01,864 --> 01:05:05,134
are creating the best opportunity for maximum

925
01:05:05,134 --> 01:05:08,938
competition and to apply innovation and new tools that

926
01:05:08,938 --> 01:05:12,542
may be in the market for us going forward.

927
01:05:12,542 --> 01:05:14,542
>> great. Thank you.

928
01:05:15,277 --> 01:05:16,746
and then I think my last question and I hope this is

929
01:05:16,746 --> 01:05:19,883
something that you'll be able to answer before you do the

930
01:05:19,883 --> 01:05:23,190
bid. So if not, then you know, I

931
01:05:23,190 --> 01:05:24,554
understand but I'm just curious because I remember there was a

932
01:05:24,554 --> 01:05:29,959
contract and then we had some some amendments and extensions

933
01:05:29,959 --> 01:05:34,364
for the last one that came earlier this year and so I I

934
01:05:34,364 --> 01:05:38,901
guess my question around that is do you anticipate this also

935
01:05:38,901 --> 01:05:42,505
being a similar kind of maybe five years plus some extensions

936
01:05:42,505 --> 01:05:45,909
or is it a longer period that you're able to bid this service

937
01:05:45,909 --> 01:05:50,246
out for? >> so when we come to you

938
01:05:50,246 --> 01:05:53,983
in september with our new rfp, what we're looking at is a

939
01:05:53,983 --> 01:05:57,787
three year contract with options to exercise for two

940
01:05:57,787 --> 01:05:58,654
additional years. >> okay.

941
01:05:58,654 --> 01:05:59,455
all right. Thank you.

942
01:05:59,455 --> 01:06:02,455
thank you, chair. >> thank you.

943
01:06:03,793 --> 01:06:08,731
and yes, I have no concerns about this extension.

944
01:06:08,731 --> 01:06:15,931
I think it makes very good sense and is prudent to add

945
01:06:19,208 --> 01:06:23,245
in this transition component should we need it?

946
01:06:23,245 --> 01:06:30,286
I would also just add that I'm looking forward to this board

947
01:06:30,286 --> 01:06:34,424
learning more about the rfp when it's ready.

948
01:06:34,424 --> 01:06:38,294
it sounds like just next month so that we'll have plenty of

949
01:06:38,294 --> 01:06:42,632
opportunity to discuss this contract more at that time.

950
01:06:42,632 --> 01:06:46,232
colleagues, any other comments or questions?

951
01:06:49,372 --> 01:06:53,642
