This is a presentation. Good morning, eric cordova here to discuss the leadership update, led by tida as well as caltrans, basically. Basically, the concept that you have in front of you shows the three Major Construction projects that are about to embark here and actually already started. Im going to start from the top of the screen there that shows the michaela road construction. It is planned to be completed by the spring or summer of next year. There we go. My apologies. The project that the Transportation Committee has been leading is the offroading of that off ramp, and the realignment project, taking south gate road there and realigning it. And the other major project that should start probably the summertime of 2021 is the west side bridges. As you see there in kind of a light orange color, that we anticipate starting in 2021. Were at approximately 60 design. I will get into details now on all of these. Right there, what you see is basically an artists rendering of the final completed in essence construction project that were about to start hopefully this fall. Were very close in that regard. Were frankly at a point where at a primarily funded effort there. Weve been working with the state and to get the federal funds for this. Were at a point where were targeting the fall construction advertisement. Frankly, were shooting for september. Final processes here will require us to get the final funding allocations here so we can get it out to bid. Were also working with 1 Treasure Island to establish a local hire program and to get the appropriate program, so in september, when were starting to advertise this before the board in the fall, well be back to present a lot more details. This is a project thats going to take about 16 months, and theres sequencing here thats interesting here. U. S. Coast guard has security here where they put us in a position. This project, deemed the south gate project, will be completed here. And then, we will move on to the next project, which is the west side bridges project. Total cost, 83 million, and once again, primarily funded with federal and state funds with contribution from tida. As you heard in the past, we went ahead and are using the constructiongeneral contracting method. We have chosen a contractor to work with us on the final design. Were currently at 60 final design, working with them and the team to establish with what they call in the industry a guaranteed maximum price, so were working towards going on head and completing all the final design and starting construction in the 2021 time frame. Once again, i do want to add, we will have as part of our job program, local hires. We want to make sure we put in the specs local hires and aspirational goals working with 1 Treasure Island as needed. We are also studying overall bicycle and connectivity on the island. There was a proposition k9 grak9 proposition k9 grant approved. Theres some missing links for overall ped and bike connectivity on the island. Lets start on that side, which is pure e2. Thats the caltrans pier that theyre actually leaving and repurposing as a pier for the general public. Then getting folks up to vista point. Vista point is the point that is currently open to bicycles and pedestrians that is part of our y. B. I. Ramps project that we completed in the latter part of 2016. We actually opened the vista point in may 2017, so folks can come from the east bay or folks can come from vista point and go across, and what we have there is a real nice setting for folks to basically take a break, use the rest rooms, park their bikes, rest, etc. We have a shuttle established to go ahead and get folks on the weekends to make sure because during the weekend is when we have a lot more people on the island. During the week, its more at this point construction, so thats been a Success Story in that record. But the key to this is to show you the top points, and the connect data that caltrans has performed some concept development. And then down to the Ferry Terminal. Its going to Start Construction later this summer. But the thought process is to really make sure we do the proper planning so that we can facilitate bicycles and pedestrians getting down to the Ferry Terminal and getting across to San Francisco once we start Ferry Service. We anticipate having some concepts developed later this year. This is an artists rendering of what was pier e2 what is pier e2, and if you were to go out there today, you would see that its almost completed. Caltrans has gonna head and had a contract with cmtc contractor kiewit construction. What you have i just want to note on the right is the torpedo building. Supervisor walton quick question. When did the water get so blue . Thats kudos to abe, one of our graphic artists. We think thisll be a major attraction on the island. Caltrans, to their credit is almost complete with this effort. I did want to mention the historic torpedo building. It was constructed in the late 1800s, and as part of our south gate road efforts, were going to put on a new roof and seal it up as much as possible. So caltrans is anticipating opening this in the later latter part of october 2019, and well make sure we get you information and specifics. I mentioned the data and caltrans western space bicycle span. Theyve been studying the connection from the eastern span dropoff all the way to San Francisco. This is a rendering in essence what i would call the Northern Point standing on the western side of the island at the yerba buena tunnel, looking towards San Francisco. And then finally, i just want to quickly update you all because we are working on all of the issues that were brought to our attention at the end of last year and earlier this year in terms of our Affordability Program. Were updating our travel demand and financial demand analysis right now, looking at congestion, financial effects, etc. We anticipate completing this work in the latter part of the summer here, probably in that augustseptemberoctober time frame, and then go ahead and start some outreach efforts. Weve already started outreach with the business community, working with them at the ground level. We anticipate followup what we call cocreation workshops later this summer and additional outreach. And then bigger picture, were still targeting and going ahead and launching some Ferry Service, initial Ferry Service from the east bay, and paying for that with some of the tolling that we need to install and the Affordability Program up and running 2021. So thats my presentation. Any questions . Supervisor walton can you just go back to slide 7, i believe that was. Yes. Supervisor walton thats more like what we see. Yes, thats right. Thats right. Supervisor walton supervisor mandelman, do you have any questions or comments . Supervisor mandelman im very excited about this extremely pricey bike extension. I think thats more than 300 its 400. Supervisor mandelman more like 400. Although tomorrow at budget, im voting a 900 million project to install some can canopies on Market Street. So given the budget, maybe 400 milli million isnt as much as i think it is. Supervisor walton do we have any Public Comment on this presentation . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. We are now at the point of the agenda for any general Public Comment. Do we have anyone here in the audience for general Public Comment. Clerk we do have item 5, introduction of new items. Supervisor walton im sorry. Any introduction of new items . Sorry. I skipped number 5. Sorry. From t. A. . My apologies, and seeing no one here for Public Comment, any other items . Clerk no, theres just adjournment. Supervisor walton thank you so much. This meeting is adjourned. The goal is simple. Its to raise womens voices. Learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. We had own over 300 over 300 people who signed up for the oneonone counseling today. I think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively. The Assessors Office is a big one. There are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. Our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in San Francisco. One of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2. 6 billion worth of revenue to the city. Often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. For every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. But i think what most people dont know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public education. So it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. So this is an incredibly important part of what we do in this office. Its an interesting place to be, i have to say. My colleagues across the state have been wonderful and have been very welcoming and share their knowledge with me. In my daytoday life, i dont think about that role, being the only Asian American assessor in the state, i just focus on being the best i can be, representing my city very well, representing the county of San Francisco well. By being the only Asian American assessor, i think you have a job to try to lift up and bring as many people on board, as well. I hope by doing the best that you can as an individual, people will start to see that your assessor is your elected leaders, the people that are making important decisions can look like you, can be like you, can be from your background. I grew up with a family where most of my relatives, my aunties, my uncles, my parents, were immigrants to the united states. When my parents first came here, they came without any relatives or friends in the united states. They had very little money, and they didnt know how to speak english very well. They came to a place that was completely foreign, a place where they had absolutely nobody here to help them, and i cant imagine what that must have been like, how brave it was for them to take that step because they were doing this in order to create an opportunity for their family. So my parents had odd jobs, my dad worked in the kitchens, my mom worked as a seamstress sewing. As we grew up, we eventually had a small business. I very much grew up in a family of immigrants, where we helped to translate. We went to the restaurant every weekend helping out, rolling egg rolls, eating egg rolls, and doing whatever we need to do to help the family out. It really was an experience growing up that helped me be the person that i am and viewing Public Service the way that i do. One of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. We lived in Southern California at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. I can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. It was incredibly scary because we didnt know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. And i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. It stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help people open businesses and be successful. Make sure to be safe, and of course to have fun. And then, i think as you continue to serve in government, you realize that those convictions and the persons that you are really help to inform you, and so long as you go back to your core, and you remember why youre doing what youre doing, you know, i think you cant go wrong. Its funny, because, you know, i never had thought i would do this. I became a supervisor first for the city under very unusual circumstances, and i can remember one day, im shopping with friends and really not having a care in the world about politics or running for office or being in a public position, and the next day, im sworn in and serving on the board of supervisors. For many of us who are going through our Public Service, its very interesting, i think, what people view as a leader. Sometimes people say, well, maybe the person who is most outspoken, the person who yells the loudest or who speaks the loudest is going to be the best leader. And i think how i was raised, i like to listen first, and i like to try to figure outweighs to work with out ways to work with people to get things done. I hope that time goes on, you can see that you can have all sorts of different leaders whether at the top of City Government or leading organizations or leading teams, that there are really different kinds of leadership styles that we should really foster because it makes us stronger as organizations. Take advantage of all the wonderful information that you have here, at the vendor booth, at our seminars and also the oneonone counseling. I wouldnt be where i was if i didnt have very strong people who believed in me. And even at times when i didnt believe in my own abilities or my own skills, i had a lot of people who trusted and believed i either had the passion or skills to accomplish and do what i did. If there was one thing that i can tell young women, girls, who are thinking about and dreaming about the things they want to be, whether its being a doctor or being in politics, running an organization, being in business, whatever it is, i think its really to just trust yourself and believe that who you are is enough, that you are enough to make it work and to make things successful. Good morning and welcome to the San Francisco county Transportation Authority for today, tuesday, july 9th, 2019 mr. Clark, please call the role. [roll call] we have a quorum. Thank you.

Project staff noted that the proposed sidewalk level cycle track within the better Market Street project substantially removes t
