Was supervisor ronen. We need to have a fair democratic process that goes along with this. This is not about identity, this is about fair process. Right now, San Francisco has seven out of ten Homeless People that once had a roof over their heads, one of the worst income inequalities in the world. The average latino family in the district making 25,000 a year, yet we have white people making 150 k a year. We can house all of these people, but we need to have a fair process, and right now theres a lot of trauma that goes on with the residents of San Francisco because they dont feel they can trust that democratic process right now. We need to appoint an incident ram mayor and get a legally binding contract with the city and county of San Francisco so that way we dont have this caretaker mayor that can actually run in the future, so thats all im saying with that. But i really urge the city and county of San Francisco to have a fair process. That way, its unbiased, with the three candidates that are currently running right now, and the city can choose, and the city can feel comfortable with that. Thank you for your time. Supervisor thank you for your comments. I believe that concludes general Public Comment. Madam president . The hon. L.

I just wanted to on behalf of the board thank you for that work. Chair peskin thank you commissioner. Commissioner tang. Vice chair tang thank you so often ronen. We didnt have a chance to speak much about it at the december 12th meeting because it was just a little bit crazy inside here. And i forgot to mention it during item three. But i wanted to say that together with chair peskin, really doing a huge overhaul of schools has been meaningful. Thank you to the staff and all the City Departments. I hope everyone will take a look at the new staffing structure. All that information should be in item three. And if you have any further comments, suggestions, please let us know. But changes will be coming forth and fully implemented by 2019 i believe. Chair peskin so, i guess if voice chair tang saying some words, ill say a few as well. I want to thank vice chair tang for her leadership on reforming safe routes to school, which i think was a major accomplishment. And we also celebrated a milestone that we all read about relative to the city wide vision zero strategy ending last year with a 41 reduction in pedestrian and cyclists fatalities since 2013. And i think that is really remarkable. But we are not going to stop until we get to zero. Weve engaged i think in thoughtful discussions around project delivery, including the downtown caltrain extension, better Market Street, van ness vrt. We have initiated independent expenditure plan. Weve learned a lot about Transportation Network companies and their impact on our Public Transit system and city streets and kon jucongestion. Weve undertaken a really remarkable and ambitious identify a local contribution that we will get before the voters in november before the 20 billion projected need for transportation and operations through 2045. I want to thank the folks from the Transportation Task force who spent the last half year getting critical neighborhood feedback after the sales tax failed in 2016. So, i think its been a very good year and im honored to continue to be your chair and look forward to working with all of you and our citizens. And with that, a roll call please. Clerk on the motion in favor of elects commissioner peskin for chair and commissioner tang for vice chair. Commissioner breed. Breed aye. Commissioner cohen. Cohen aye. Commissioner fewer. Fewer aye. Commissioner peskin. Peskin aye. Commissioner ronen. Ronen aye. Commissioner sheehy. Sheehy aye. Tang aye. The motions are approved. Chair peskin all right. Next item please. Clerk item five allocation of 110,000 in prop k funds with one requested and approach yaths of 180,000 in funds. This is ana item. Chair peskin mr. Pickford. Good morning. We are going to turn your microphone on. Thank you. I mr. Present i will present the first request and hand it over to my colleague. Circulation improvements of the daly city bart station. This includes upgrading exiting pedestrians ramps that provides access to the bart station including the 14 R Mission Rapid to make it ada compliant. Currently, the muni bus drops passengers at a lower level bus stop which you can hopefully see on the screen. It lays over in the upper level parking lot before looping back to the lower level. This ramp will allow the 28 to leave directly from the upper level stop, which mta will save about 23 minutes a route which could end up in 150,000 per year in operations cost. The operation will be separate with san mateo county, expected to be open in summer of 2018. I will pass it off to eric. Good morning commissioners. On your screen you see there the dpx project overview thats already been environmentally cleared. I want to give you a background as it relates to this request. The dtx was cleared and has three tracks from Fourth Street to transbay transit center. They have performed various analysis. Some concluding three tracks are appropriate and others are concluding three are appropriate. In this record, commissioner peskin thank you for the request for us to perform an independent peer review. The purpose of the request is to evaluate three rail operation studies as ive indicated and form key policy Decision Makers on the two versus three track issue. The request is for 180,000 of prop k. The three studies in question, one performed by a private Property Owner and his consultants, the other prepared by t. J. P. And consultant partners. And the Feasibility Study analysis prepared by sma Rail Consulting under the direction of the city planning department. Weve assembled a Peer Review Panel that we believe is first we want to make sure theres no conflict of interests. We searched into the database of consultants and selected the following panel there. Representatives from t. Y. Lynn we was from the director of rail transit in new york and new jersey. The and the, Elliott Group and david nelson, all of them are significant have significant rail commuter and inner city rail operations expertise. We are happy with the team we have assembled in that regard. Key stake holders, tjpa and the Property Owner who represents various properties on Second Street and all the way down the line. Caltrain and most important too, the high speed rail, including the early train operator. We envisioned what you have in front of you is a schedule. We have already started the document review in that regard to get a head start on this because we know that schedule is very important here. We will have stakeholder meetings in the january time frame and have a workshop in february. The plan is to go ahead and have a draft report in february and a final report in march and come back to this board no later than april. Thats the plan ahead of us. And im available for questions on this item or the item prior with mike. Chair peskin are there any questions on item number five to mr. Mr. Pickford or mr. Cordova . If not, before we go to Public Comment, i just want to thank you for the peer review. I know its on a tight time frame and i also want to acknowledge the t. J. P. A. Who have agreed to delay the record of decision until we can have a real honest, meaningful peer review. And let me just say, its my profound hope that we are able to figure out a way where theres no cut and cover at the throat or on townsend street where we dont have that level of surface disruption for years as well as resolving the twotrack, threetrack issue and look forward to your work and the results in april. Is there any Public Comment on item number five . Mr. Lebrong. Public good morning chair peskin. Happy new year. Congratulations on your reelection and supervisor tang. This is great news. Definitely spending money much better than the way we were last time we blew 5. 5 million. I think it is important none of the members of public have been involved. But understand that you can have some kind of presentation of a workshop. Again, assure you this is going to work. Because five years ago, what i did is i took the timetable for london olympics, which basically was the same scenario which you have here and actually on the they use actually they used three platforms, not six. And in so doing, 25,000 passengers per direction, 50,000 passengers an hour. Actually as people were getting on and off, we were really carrying 100,000 passengers. Then i figured out a way to somehow do the same track configuration into soma without any surface impacts. I can assure you this is going to work but i dont know this is what youre going to look at. In closing, id like to remind you that whatever you come up with, there are some existing legislation and case law which mandates what you have to achieve if you want to qualify for prop k bonds. Half billion dollars for dtx and half a Million Dollars for beautify case. I will be writing again to you to remind you what the issues are. Thank you very much. Chair peskin thank you for your constant attention to this project. Is there any other member of the public, members of the public who would like to testify . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. On that item a roll call please. Clerk motion. Chair peskin motion to move item number five made by commissioner cohen. Seconded by commissioner yee and now roll call. Clerk on item five, commissioner breed. Breed aye. Commissioner cohen. Cohen aye. Commissioner fewer. Chair peskin commissioner fewer. Clerk fewer aye. Commissioner peskin. Aye. Commissioner ronen. Ronen aye. Commissioner sheehy. Sheehy aye. Commissioner tang. Tang aye. Commissioner yee. Yee aye. We have first approval. Chair peskin all right. Next item, please. Clerk item six. Approve San Francisco project priorities for the local Partnership Program, competitive grant program. This is an action item. Chair peskin okay. The other mr. Quintanilla. Good morning. Im a Transportation Planner. As you may recall last december, this body program, San Franciscos form last year of the local Partnership Program for three tree resurfacing projects, todays presentation is about the other half of this state program. The competitive portion. The local Partnership Program rewards jurisdictions that have sought and received voter approval of taxes, tolls and fees or have fees solely dedicated to transportation. The California Transportation Commission administers this program and 50 is distributed through formula and prop aa administrator, it is eligible for both portions. The initial funding cycle for the Competitive Program covers years 201718 through 201920 and will distribute up to 300 million state and wide. Funds available for construction only. Requires a dollar for dollar match and minimum grant size of 3 million. Project nominations will be considered in two different groups. One group for jurisdictions with water approved measures and one group for jurisdictions with imposed fees. Based on the criteria shown on the slide and a potential repeal effort, we believe construction readiness would be a very important factor in the current call for projects. Jurisdictions submitting multiple applications must establish project priority. Throughout the Guideline Development process and in october once the Program Guidelines were released, we directed information about the program and call for projects.
