Item six, introduction of new or and finished business by Board Members. Chairman any new or Unfinished Business. Director brinkman . We were able to go to the operator completion ceremony last friday, and thank you for leting me join you there, vice chair. It was the biggest class anyone had seen in a long time. So i want to thank the training dlases class, and the next class is equally as large, and i think theyre feeling the stress of having such large classes. When asked if there was anything we could do to help, they did mention the Civil Service job classification, 1136, and if there is anything we can do to speed up that new classification, that will help take the stress off the training team. I just want to thank them all for being so amazing and so present for these large classes, as they are for every other class. What a great team. Defense attorney chair, chair . Yes. There were 44 people in the class. Chairman thank you for the update. And thank you both for attending. I was out of town. Any new or Unfinished Business from other Board Members . Okay. I have one small item, i will direct through mr. Riskin to julie coriesbom, and i asked you to look at the switchover at the embarcadero, and having thought about it and discussed it with some wise people, one thing i would like you to consider in that approach is not necessarily all of the trains using that construct, that maybe half of the trains going to the pocket, and half of the trains crossing over, to maximize the rail space we have and not create a backup at the embarcaderoment i diembarcaderor Board Members to look at the pocket delay, and frankly i experienced that coming back to court from my office. Assuming there is no further new or Unfinished Business, the directors report. Item seven, the directors report. Thank you, mr. Chair, members of the board, the staff, and the public, before i get into my regular report, i want to take this opportunity to make our formal disclosure of labor agreements. The city charter requires that we, 15 days prior to your consideration of voting on labor agreements, that we disclose them in a public meeting, and so were using todays meeting to do that. We have concluded the negotiations with eight labor contracts that the nt. A. Has negotiated with the Service Critical employees, and that includes managers, machinists, car cleaners, electrical workers, transit supervisors, automotive workers, transit fare inspectors, and transit operators, so a great majority of our employees are designated as servicecritical, and are under contracts that we negotiate for ourselves, the balance of our employees are under citywide contracts that the city has, likewise, completed negotiations on. But it is these eight contracts that will be before you at the end of the month for your consideration. We have put copies of all of these agreements up on our website. If you go to sfmta. Com, and search memorandum of understanding, you will see copies of all of these and you will see red lines and what has changed. For each of these contracts, as well as those that represent the rest of our employees negotiated by the city, theyre all for a threeyear term, from july 1, 2. The funds are available in the fiscal 20 budget, which youve already approved, and it will be allocated and well incorporate into the next twoyear budget process, which we will be able to do, unlike last time, with full certainty of what our labor costs will be. The core wage patterns for these and the citys agreements is as follows the first year, a 3 increase on july 1689, and 1st, and then another 3 in jesus of july 1st of next year, and another sorry, a 1 increase this december, and 3 next july, another half percent the following december, followed by another 3 the beginning of the third year, and another half percent half way through the third year. There are what were referring to as recession triggers in these agreements, such that if the citys controllers projections of the General Fund Budget deficit in march of the second or third year is in excess of 200 million, then that second half percent increase would be delayed by six months. So it gives just a little bit of wiggle room for the agency and the city, in the case that the recession, or to whatever reason, creates a projected general fund deficit. Again, this language is common to all of the agreements, both ours and the citys. There are a number of other cleanup things, like using genderneutral language, and all of ours and all of the cities have all of those things. If anybody happens to spend time looking through the red lines, youll see lots of things we tried to clean up and stan standardize across the city. For the managers, which is m. E. A. , there was a cleanup of the leave process. There were a number of different types of leave, and what we have negotiated as just a flat 40 hours of management leave each year for each person. The increase in Life Insurance policy, and the total cost of the contract over the three years, 5. 66million. For the machinists, which i am local 1414, something that were really excited about is the establishment of new automotive machinists and mechanic operators, and many of the skilled craft represented by 1414. You may recall we played a video about some apprenticeships we have with them, and well be expanding that Program Based on the success. A number of other various allowances, changing all resulting in a threeyear cost of about 14 million. For s. E. I. U. , 1021, they represent parking control officers, revenue and citations, parking staff a number of provisions, including dependent and retiree transit passes. This is something youll see elsewhere, and our goal is to get more people on transit. It is a pretty minimal cost to us, but a good benefit for our employees and a good way to get people on transit. Longevity pay increase, and something that was very important to the employees, establishment of a salt revention and preventd reduction committee. Cost of that contract over the three years, 15. 64 million. For local i 6, the electrical workers, the folks that maintain the trolley buses and the trains, we did make some equity adjustments, which means increases to wages for some difficult to recruit positions, particularly our power line series. These are the folks who work on high voltage power lines. We had a very difficult time getting those positions filled, as well as some other specialized units, such as motor repair. We do a lot of our motor repair inhouse because it is hard to find folks on the outside to do it, but it is hard for us to find folks to do that kind of work. Tried to make strategic adjustments to a few classes like that. The over all cost for local 6 over the three years, 25. 13 million. For t. W. , local 200, the transit supervisors, we made an adjustment for one of the top positions in that unit because we had a compression issue, and depending on where they worked, there was some folks that were getting compression with the folks they supervised. So if you worked in the control center, you got a bump because of compression. If you worked outside the control center, you didnt. So we had this inequity in this very important class, so we corrected for that. We did add what you had referenced, director brinkman, the 9136 training position into the m. O. U. , and we got the Civil Service approval, and completed the affects bargaining as part of the overall barging fooverall bargar that position, so that is done. The total cost of that one, 13. 013 million. And we have three different units in local 250a. The first small unit, 7410 Automotive Service workers, we increased the emergency road repair premium and applied the shift differentials, and the cost of that over three years, 3. 57 million. For the fare inspectors, we added another floating holiday, also expansion of transit passes, and made some provisions for holiday pay. The total cost of that over the three years is 2. 36 million. And the biggest group, the transit operators, as you have already heard, changed the step progression from five years to four, and moved the starting step from 63 of the top of class to 70 of top of class, made a fairly significant change in the way our general signup works, which is the opportunity for folks to move around within the agency, which causes a bit of a trading backup because when somebody moves from one mode to another, whether it is diesel to trolley or trolley to rail, or in any direction, somewhere e to retrain them. And relieving ourselves of future training burden. The total cost for that one over three years, 74. 86 million. So its been a lot of work over a number of months, and i do want to thank all of our folks from the agency, all of our labor employees, our own emlows anemployees and the labor employees. A lot of the folks are working around the clock during different parts of this, as well as some folks that we brought in externally, generally through the city city attorneys office. A lot of people did good work that will result in contracts that are good for the city and agency, good for the employees, and ones that i hope will get your positive consideration on june 26th, when they come your way. Chairman may i just interrupt you there on that part of the report to say to echo the boards thanks to the many people you thanked, starting first with the Union Leadership for their cooperation and diligence to this process and representation of their members, and then to all of the staff, from the city attorneys, from the former city attorneys, that we brought back in, to our Labor Relations people, and all of the folks who kept this process up to date and moved this process forward. Were most grateful to you, and there is no question in my mind if you hadnt handled your upcoming departure in the mature and responsible way you did, it would have impeded these procedures, and instead we have a fantastic result, and in large part to you and your personal responsibility. So im grateful. Hear, hear it was on the short list of things i wanted to publistoaccomplish before leavi, and so pending your vote on june 26th, not to bias your vote. Now on to my regular report. Ill try to make this quick, but a lot of things to cover. I know we do have a big agenda ahead. Just starting with vision zero sorry that this always seems now the start to report. But i do want to let you know that last wednesday a woman was struck and critically injured on garry and laguna. She was crossing on the east side of geary from south to north, and was hit by a car coming eastbound. It happened around 5 30 in the morning on wednesday. And i friday she succumbed to her injuries, and so became, i believe, our 15th fatality of the year. It was originally reported a 85yearold woman, and then i subsequently saw a 70yearold woman. We dont have a lot of good information yet. This is an intersection we recently retimed to give people more tom time to cross the street, and to separate the north and south phases, so we could reduce the potential conflicts of turning vehicles with crossing vehicles. And this is also part of the muni forward and vision zero improvements, as part of the geary corridor phase one project, the first parts of which are under construction today. At this intersection will include a widening of the crosswalks, the establishment of a median that will create for pedestrian refuge, and a reduced number of general travel lanes because well be converting a lane in each direction to transitonly lanes. Weve done signal timing increases, and we have very significant changes coming in the next few years as part of the construction of geary. Well see if there is anything we can get done in advance. But sorry to have to report that. Our condolences go out to her friends and family. Once we get more information from the Police Department,if there is anything more that we learn of our see, we will make further adjustments. Just following up on director brinkman and bordens earlier comments, we did women 40 plu welcome 40 w operators into the agency. The largest class weve had in recent memory. A number of who came through the city program, many of whom were former chariot employees. It is a very Successful Program where were advancing the folks through the Readiness Program to be able to enter into operator training. Something were doing in partnership with the office of economic and Work Force Development office. And we have just kind of reupped with them to extend this work we started as a pilot. It obviously has been very successful, and this one, ultimately 45 graduated. We currently have 15 55 in the class that started last month, and we have more than 40 signed up for our july class. So we are building towards a pace where we can get ourselves back to the full staffing level that we want to be at. We are working against retirements, promotions, folks moving from bus to rail, and so we have a lot of work to do to get caught up, as well as getting folks back to work, we have 300 plus operators at any given time whom weve hired and trained, but that are not working, so working on the process of getting those folks back, too. Which is part of the efforts with regards to operator staffing. But i do want to note that even with these 45, because of the way the retirement system works, people tend to retire at the very end of the fiscal year, so we anticipate we will have a big chunk of retirements at the end of june. We do have a rail class starting, which we have already delayed once, which will put more folks out of the seats. So in july we will have a hard time meeting our Service Every day. Once the class finishes at the end of july, we should be back to where we are now, and we should see a steady increase. We are working with folks who are retiring, to see if any would be willing to come back, and we are doing everything we can to mitigate for that. I wanted to let you know and let the public know that well be challenged this summer, in the month of july, with maintaining our service level. Were doing everything we can to mitigate for that. Im very en cumpe encouraged tht were filling these classes and will continue dto do so. Staying on the muni track, a couple of instances we can give you information on when julie presents on the next meeting, but since theyre both fairly current, last thursday afternoon, at about rushhour, we had one of the trains experience a system failure that locked the brakes, and in short, it took us a long time to get that vehicle freed up. It caused ripple effects throughout the subway. Were investigating the cause of failure, and also looking at our kind of response protocols. The initial perspective on this is it took us longer to free that train up than it should have. We did use as much as we could, the flexibility we had in the subway to routearound the train while it was stuck, but it caused folks trouble getting home on thursday. And then this morning, and it sounds like our chair experienced some residual of this this afternoon. We had a switch failure in the famous pocket that the chair is so enamored of, that really has resulted in a ripple affect of bad service on the subway throughout the day. It speaks a little to your comment earlier, with one of the two places to turn shut down, it created a fairly big backup. We did, again, try to use all of the flex ability that we dflexibility wedo have. We dont have a full accounting of what happened, although it looks like it was essentially a selfinflicted problem, that between the conclusion of Maintenance Work that was done last night, and then the initial inspection of the switch this morning, that it is something that shouldnt have happened in the first place, and that we should have caught much sooner. So apologies to riders. I was one of them this morning that got caught up in that. A couple of other things that i want you to know thats coming up, in terms of state of good repair work the first is you know we have the better Market Street project that will replace the rail and most of the infrastructure on Market Street. But in the meantime, we have some failing areas both in our infrastructure and public works. So we are going to be working out on market and fifth, beginning on monday, june 17th, and well be out there for about six days. Well be out there generally from 9 00 to 3 00, so generally staying out of the peak of rushhour,and well get out of the way on sunday, june 23rd, when there will be street paving starting saturday night into sunday. We will make the construction such that the f line will continue to run, Market Street will continue to run, but we will be forcing more folks off of market at fifth so that our crews can get the work done. So Market Street will have some impact. Well do our best to make sure that the impact to muni is minimized, but it is work that needs to get done to make sure that that area is safe, both for our rail vehicles, but for everybody else who crosses over them. We also have some temporary closures scheduled for the twin peaks tunnel this coming weekend. Were going to essentially do late starts. Were going to broaden the shutdown windows on friday and saturday nights, so we wont have Subway Service starting until 10 00 a. M. , and this is so we can do some track Maintenance Work, and it is a followup to the work we did last year. It will only affect those first three hours of service. We will have shuttle buses and we will still have underground service from castro into embarcadero. Well make sure to ambassadors and lots of information out, as always. It is work that we need to do to figure out what work we need to do to kind of close out and finalize that project. A few quick other things, i promise. For vams, were about to hit a milestone. Our traffic lanes and construction zones will be shifterinshifting because were finishing the phases of utility work. 1a will be finishing, and well be moving to 1c, so people will see a number of shifts as we restore back the first areas that we closed. And then take over the next areas that well be working on. There has been a lot of Lessons Learned through that first sub phase of utility work, so we expect the subsequent phases to go much, much faster. So for now the work between sutter mccallister will be flipping across the street, and the work between lum bard andbard and jackson will shift from the east to the west. The traffic adjustments will take place over four weeks. Where we do establish the new construction zones, well remove meters and relocate loading zones and blue intoons. Zones. And all of the details of this can be found at our website. We will make sure that everything is fenced and clear. And were doing a bunch of outreach up and down the corridor to make sure nobody is surprised of this change. And we have confidence that the next phases will go much more quickly and smoothly. I wanted to remind you last april when you approved the budget, you approved the fare increases for last year and this year. This years fare increases will kick in on july 1st. And they result from the boards automatic fare in indexesing, which links fare increases to muni cash. Monthly pricing on clipper goes up 3and 4 for the muni a pass. You may recall, however, to continue to incentavise use of the clipper and mobile, and we are not increasing the singleride fare, so it will remain at 2. 50, and at a 1. 25 for the disowp discount fares. They continue to see increased sales on a monthtomonth basis, with more than a 97 increase, so we just about doubled year after year on muni mobile. So the differential will increase on july 1st. And then, finally, sunday streets, this sunday throughout tethrough outer sunsd golden gate park, and hopefully it will be weather like today and well see you all out there. That concludes my report. Chairman very good. Before we call on Public Comment, directors, are there any comments . Just to clarify, the utility work is the sffuc work, not our work . Thats correct. Thank you for flagging this. We havent really started the transportation project. We have not started the muni work, the vision zero work. What were doing first is replacing the water pipes, the soi sewer pipes, and the highpressure firefighting pipes. There are some electrical infrastructure that may be included in this phase, including some that we use, but for the most part this has been work that were doing and on behalf of the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission. And this is getting the underground in shape, as well as preparing the road base and the road, which is caltrans jurisdiction under delegation to the city, all before we then put the improvements on the surface of the streets, which are really the transportation scope of the project. When do we think well get to do our porgt portion of the project . As we start getting the utility work done, well be moving then into the subsequent phases. So were kind of working sequentially. Fis phasthis phase starts this summer, and the last phase of utility work, i believe, will start in the fall. So it is probably early next year that well start see more of the surface work being done. Some of the work is getting implemented now. So its not fully serial process, but the big part of our work will start in earnest next year. Thank you. Chairman any further questions, directors . I have a request. Im hoping that i can ask for a presentation to be brought back to the board at a subsequent meeting, that would be a deep dive into the vision zero data, not just looking at this year, but all of the years we have data available, that we tracked vision zero. And if we can look at demographic analysis, race, gender, income, other factors, just to understand who is most impacted by these collisions. And then also if we can just look at what we know about what are the causes of these across all of the body of data . And we focus a lot, as is right, on the fatalities, but there are significantly more serious injuries that can also shed light in terms of where we should be focusing our efforts, in terms of what are the types of movements, what are the types of dangerous streets. I would imagine this wouldnt be new work, but if you could bring it forward to us and have datadriven conversation, that would be a big value add for the board. Okay. Wed be happy to do that. Maybe we can bring the department of Public Health along because theyve done a lot of this work. And as you say, we have done a lot of this and have good data. Thank you. Chairman any other questions . I have three. Congratulations on the successful outreach on the chachariot riders, and we talked about similar outreach to the taxi drivers. Has that outreach taken place, and has it yielded any fruit . I dont believe weve done specific outreach. But weve been broadening our outreach more broadly. It is open to everybody, not just former chariot drivers. We certainly encourage everybody to apply. Weve made this noticeable. Weve provided notice of it before, but if we can just redirect it to director cam, so the cab drivers could know about the availability of that program, that would be wonderful. You talked about the issue with the pocket, which is what, i guess, i was stuck in, when you went to your alternate approaches you said you were able to maneuver some ways to get trains around the blockage, right . When you did that, were you able to activate the crossover in embarcadero to take a train from inbound to outbound . I was anticipating you would ask that. I just asked our transit director that. I believe the answer is yes. Thats among the things were doing, returning trains out at harrison, and we were using the one pocket we had, and i believe the crossover that is west of embarcadero station. But im not standard poors. Standard certain. We dont have a full report of how it worked. Chairman is that something we can use to avoid delays associated with problems in the future, please implement that. And then, from that, talk to the staff who are watching how it plays out, and we can take lessons from that to see if it can play out in a larger context. Because these livetime trials are very available. Hopefully there will be no problems that necessitate them, but i would ask this be used as an alternative, and we study as a permanent part of the system going forwardment on thaforward. And on that note,e having a morning shutdown on the service south of castro. My gut reaction is, especially with notice, that that is not going to be terribly disruptive. I would ask that you all monitor that. If the reaction is it is not terribly destructive, keep in mind the wise comment if you can use that to avoid problems when many people are riding the subway, lets use that time. We will do that, but on that note, and per your Previous Council on that,w, we are actually making a change with the signup that is going into effect essentially this month, which is changing the last trains that will go through the subway which will give us a extra half hour every night in the subway. I thank you for that and for pushing us on that, and our maintenance folks are very excited about that. It is a huge increase in time. And were looking at the potential for singletracking during some of the late hours, so we can get in earlier or stay later. Were definitely kind of hearing you on that, and initially opening up windows in ways that dont Impact Service to the public. We heard the charge to continue to look, if it makes sense to encroach even into Current Service hours, and well continue to look at that. Chairman very good. Members boomer, will you call Public Comment. Ms. Alita duprey. Chairman welcome. A big report today. I like that. Im encouraged about the muni mobile and the clipper increases. I think our next step should be getting away from the paper passports. If were going to believe in something and follow through with it, we should go all in. The state of good repair is absolutely essential. And if we keep having problems with switches and wires, then we should be looking at replacements, simply not repair. If i look back at the new haven line in connecticut, the busiest Commuter Railroad in the country, and also in new jersey, it gets brittle, especially in changing weather. We cant allow that to happen here. It is important that we practice and work on our proficiency, what we in the military call tactical proficiency, as far as being able to respond to problems in the field, that we should not have hours in rescuing disabled equipment, but minutes. So it is going to take a lot of practice, practice, practice, as i was trained years ago, until you can do it in your sleep. [buzzer] so we have to be very focused on our work. In vision zero, it is important to take a deep dive and not simply report raw numbers, but every situation has a story. And that there are issues of preventability and fault, which can, in cases, be ascribed to both sides. So we need to look deeply at these things and not look at it so simply. Chairman thank you very much. Mr. Weiner . Herbert weiner. Some concerns one is, when you are implementing these changes for pedestrian walking and also traffic, what is the extent of the consultation with the Police Department . Thats one thing. Two, when you report collisions every month, what about pedestrians being struck on the sidewalk . I would like to see that included. That is extremely important. And, three, i really question the increase in the fare because it is it does not really honor the Deficient Service that you provide. The public voted with confidence in public transportation, according to the San Francisco examiner. And this fare increase is an insult to people who ride Public Transit. Increases in fare were contingent on reliability of service. With those thoughts i leave you. Chairman thank you, mr. Weiner. Any further comment on item number seven . Seeing none, we close and move to item number eight. Mr. Chairman, item number 8 is the citizen advisorys report, and i do not see the chair here today. So there will be no report. Moving on to item 9, this is an opportunity for people to address the board that are not on todays agenda . Chairman how many speaker cards do we have for general Public Comment . Five, maybe six. Chairman all right. Two minutes apiece. Stewart secisson, followed by robert chisana and nate drery. Chairman the floor is yours. And im worried about that you guys are trying to seize a medallion ive had for 40 years. I mean just come in and raise the rates to the point that i, or anybody else, will not be able to pay them. Thats seizing. Let me give you some simple facts. This is, by the way, section 320 permit fees, and thats what we have to pay coming up next year. You need some facts. Medallion holder renewal for prek medallions is 1,227. And prek person means you bought your mad dal liemedallionbecause youve got somebody running around in your Little Division saying they were given to you freely. I bought one. It is a long time ago, but i bought one. The medallion holder renewal for postk med dalmedallions is 614. Can any one of you peopl people let me suggest a simple definition. The definition is a medallion is the right to run a business, thank you, a business in San Francisco. Thats what it is. Now you tell me the difference between the prek medallions and the postk medallions. The only difference is i got mine prior to 48. What is the issue here . Just what i said. As a postk medallion, you get 614 figure. And as another person, 1,227. Chairman thank you very much. The next speaker. Robert pasana. Chairman good afternoon. Welcome back. Good afternoon. Im asking for the resignation, or the transfer of kate torren. It is a very unfortunate thing because i think she is a very good person. However, you cannot have the situation that practically nobody in the whole taxi industry believes that she can do anything to get us out of this mess. And an illustrations of this i will give is there is a 37page report report sent to us. And it starts out with this whole thing of the airport. I dont understand how you can start a policy for pee for a holders, and then allow 73 p medallions, who are in default, suddenly appear on the road and compete against the people that youre supposed to be helping. And 73 is a fictitious number. So theyre p medallions are rented out. So how can you shoot yourselves in the foot . It is bad enough that you have this stupid idea at the airport in the first place. But then to make it useless. Chairman thank you, mr. Pasana. Thank you very much. You were there, i think he was there, the head bureaucrat, and everybody had their say. Oh, we need more chances, we need to do this, that, and the other. And he got up and said, we cant do that. We need to have an Environmental Impact reports. We have to study this carefully, we need to have some scholars look at this, some professionals , and he remembered two years later, too late, years later. Thank you. Thank you very much. [indiscernible] thank you. Mr. Pree, then followed by herbert weiner. Thank you, members. General Public Comment, i used munimobile, i got to ride the cable cars and use my 39 monthly pass, so thank you for keeping fares stable for those of us who participate in the clipper program, it is a very worthwhile program that i have had for nine years, it is important we stay with that, and i am monitoring the developments in the subway, i guess i will go down there and see how it looks, if things arent quite where they should be, i can always go down one level and spend another 25 cents and ride bart, though bart had repairs on sunday, so munimobile help save my morning on sunday to get around there. So i think it is important that we consider safety, above all. Last month i was sitting at home on my easy chair and i saw a video of a patron who put their hand in a door, and they were dragged down to the tracks, i will not go into depth into that and lay blame, we but we have a lot of work to do because it could happen to me. I want a safe munimobile where i can get from a to b. And not worry. As i have said before, we have to be focused, and briefly, i will touch on the issue of scooters for those in the room who have never met a person who actually rides shared scooters and bikes, you have now met one because i have just started using these bikes, and i have used one of the little red scooters, and i have used some other ones in other cities from the big five operators, so that is a very Important Program to me that is helpful. I am sure i will touch on it later in the meeting. Thank you, very much. Herbert weiner, followed by tom. Herbert weiner, i would like to comment on the transit effectiveness project now known as mooney munimobile forward. When certain modifications are made with the deletions of bus stops on certain routes, i dont think any new coaches have been added at all, and what we have is people walking longer distances to get the same Deficient Service, and that is a quick and dirty solution, especially dirty, and that is why i feel that the true color of m. T. A. Is a jeep deep shade of olive green, because it mrs. Mixes clean energy with quick and dirty planning. Secondly, i really want to comment on the taxi medallions because this constitutes m. T. A. Institutional piracy, which has faint echoes of the 16th and 17th century with the exploration of medallions. Maybe there should be a skull and cross bones flag flying somewhere, thank you. Thank you very much. Mr. Gilbert he is the last person who turned in a speaker guard. Always a pleasure to see you. Welcome back. Thank you. Disconnect. A while back, maybe two years, i brought a rag in that i had loved the door to the elevator at munimobile at civic centre, and i thought i would bring it to the head man, it would drop down, and the door would get cleaned, and the frame would get cleaned. The door has
