As such, the timing of receipt for the fiscal year will continue. This is the last slide. The approach is considered are centralized, decentralized or a dom bcombination. Whichever system is selected, aside from functionality and cost, also taken into consideration is tha that this n investment needed to be scaled to future needs and not limit future potential. As noted earlier with utilities, water, gas, electricity and theyre being looked at as a part of the same exercise that the distribution needs to be reconfigured to meet the layout of the spaces. And it should be noted that capacity is adequate. So it is expected that in december, a summary of the findings, along with a cost estimate will be provided, at which point detailed schedules can be developed when procurement timelines are understood. And thats the end of my report. Any questions . Yes. As a board of directors, im happy to see the information about leasing the commercial and retail spaces because this revenue will help to alleviate the payments that ac transit has to make to the center about operations, maintenance and bus storage, including those two items that you have in the consent calendar. So very happy. Thank you. Good news. No other questions, direct . Thank you for the update and exciting to have our first tenants starting next week and thats great news. It was on one of your slides that there has been some delays and when we expected tenants to provide to open their shops at the Transit Center and i just want to better understand the lease structure. When that happens, i assume that, basically, the normal lease we dont get any rent while the delays are happening, regardless of whose side of the fen theyre on. Whether theyre our delays, providing the tenant space or the tenants delays in finishing things they need to do. Whats the relationship between start of collecting rent and the delays that people are seeing . So the way the lease is structured, there are triggers, but if the trigger is because were taking longer at something, then, of course, that impacts when the tenant can start their work. But once we do our part, then the normal time frames apply, so they would be they would are to start rent per those triggers in the lease. And do we have a good balance and handle on the things we have to do and sort of the risk sharing between us and tenants and when that starts up . After were done with landlords work, they have 120 days to open for revenue. Were trying to do here is expedite the process. I dont think any of them will be within the 1 120 days. In this fiscal years budget, we made assumptions they would open because assumptions we made we would be doing landlords work along with improvement work, working parallel with Onsite Dental and thats why theyre able to open with sf fitness. And phil has elected to do the tent improvements until were done with the landlord work and thats why theyre opening in january but we should be in the timelines of the leases. Were trying to expedite the process. So, for example, we have a meeting this next week with one of the restauranteurs who wants to work i us on seeing how we can compress the timeline, just like we did with fitness sf and Onsite Dental. Thats good. It seems we have 25 of the space as we look through those trying to make sure were not the only ones holding the bags on delays, would be what i wanted to make sure were building into those leases. We know some things will be on our side and theirs and sorting through all of that. Just a note, verizon actually wanted to open in december and we told them were bringing the lease here today and so were going to work with them and try to open in january or february. Theres no i participate in calls with the tenants every week and they want to be open. Good. We want them to. [ laughter ] thank you. Thank you. I would like to make an announcement. I sat through a report that mark devilla will be leaving us and i want to thank her for the great work shes done the two and a half years. Shes our facility manager. And shes set up a good system for us to follow. So thank you. My pleasure, thank you. applause . On behalf of the board, also, i want to say thank you. Its been quite a journey to get the center. So its great news were here today and we enjoy yourdayold reportyour detailedreports and e on our way. So thank you for all of your great work. Thank you for saying that. I appreciate it. We have one member of the public that wants to comment. Mr. Patrick . Sorry, you must be getting tired of seeing me, jim patrick, patrick and company and i want to talk about security for a moment. I would like to develop a numeric system of some sort on our successful or lack of success in our security management. And how many homes people have we dealt with and how many arrests have been made and how many interfaces with ambassadors . Right now were saying security is great. I believe it is great and working good and i havent seen any homeless people, so i would like to set that bar high and then i would like to do a Trend Analysis of making sure we keep it high. I believe we can improve on our security reporting. Thank you. That concludes members that wanted to comment and we can move on to your next item. Item 8 is a Citizens Advisory Committee update and we have the chair, derick holt, with us. Good morning, board members. Im derick holt and thank you for continuing to hear the updates from the tgpa cac, we appreciate the updates from the staff including martha, dennis, sidney, chris and our guest at the cac meetings and were happy that the Transit Center is doing so well with great pedestrian activity, security, rooftop, and theres clear signage thats increasing, an increasing number of riders who know where to go and get on and off the buses, the to staff and ambassadors are answering questions and theres clear security there. And Center Security and sfpd, the rooftop park is being use im utilized by Community Members and people using the center and there are great activities at the center. Operationally things are smooth with significant process and the great news that martha shared about the progress there and were excited about that. And we still want to make sure that the appropriate parties are held responsible for the delays that have taken place over the last ten, 11month period of time but were glad theres a significant momentum. We appreciate the presentation from highspeed rail and the synergy Transportation Plan expose there arplans andthere ay highspeed trains and Pedestrian Safety but the highspeed rail teams say they have that as a priority, as well. Our cac gratitude goes out, again, to lewis zernoga and his associates from the sfcta peer review update. And it sounds like well hear some supportive, positive news from them, hopefully, regarding releasing funds and moving forward with the agreed upon plans up to the twoyear milestone and we do have some concerns if we have recommendations regarding reorganizing the tgpa and the powers that be as far as thats concerned. So hopefully theres good thousands on that front. And the cac representing numerous counting speeding into San Francisco highly focused on ensuring its easy to ride a train into San Francisco and easy to get into the transit to connect with mass transit within San Francisco. Or get off from work and easily connect from the Transit Centre to transportation leaving the city and that ties us into the dtx and ease of access to the Transit Center, especially from people outside of the city. We hear concerns from many people, from around the entire region, as well as within the city and this does affect commerce and the freedom and eight to enjoy that all San Francisco has to offer. The cac believes the dtax can help San Francisco shine brighter as a good steward of the environment and taking care of the residents in multiple ways. The cac is aware and concerned with the educatio escalating ang costs and without progress on the already voterapproved progress. Were asking for your support.

Im the project management to the Transportation Authority and as you know, at the request of our board, we have been conducting a review of the management oversight governance and project delivery for the dtx project and months ago, you saw a presentation of the preliminary findings of that study and today, you will be hearing about the final observations and recommendations from the panel. Over the last few months, we have been working with the principal stakeholders, the tgpa, highspeed rail, comtrain, mtc to develop a memorandum of understanding for the implementation of some of the recommendations. And so, that is moving well and we hope to have the finalized this mou in the next few months. In addition, we have been working with the tgpa staff for and allocation of 11 million to restart the engineering for the dtx and were hoping to take that to our board for approval in december. So with us today, we have john fisher, who is one effort members of the panel and he will be making the presentation. Thank you. Good morning, directors. Its good to be back. I was here in august with an update on our progress for the panel and so its my pleasure to be back and give you a summary of recommendations now that the report is final and has been adopted by the sfcta board earlier this month and obviously happy to answer any of your questions. Just a reminder of our process in engaging the stakeholders within the city family but also a number of the operators in the region, california highspeed rail and, as well as spur, and, of course, the Mayors Office and really appreciate mr. Zelvanye and his time of the stakeholders that have participated in to board that have given helpful input to shape this going forward. This is our panel members, really a Diverse Group of project Delivery Experts with backgrounds in funding and finance and procurement that came to this with the singular goal of improving the delivery options and performance for realizing Train Service in the sales port Transit Center as soon as possible. One of our panel members, john bicari, saying megaprojects are a process of neardeath experiences. The other goal was to learn from some of the similar challenging projects across the country and across the world and bring those Lessons Learned here to phase two, to dtx to try to put it on a track to avoid some of the pitfalls, if possible. And this is a reminder of our process, a methodology we went through in april, a series of workshops with the stakeholders and the panel on a lot of the areas of governance and oversight, project delivery, funding and finance and we k a d we did a series of interviews, indepth with stakeholders in the region, as well as sessions with the tgpa looking the current project information which was extremely helpful to inform our process. Finally, we embarked on five case studies of megaprojects indepth in the apendices of the report. The panel did develop a twoyear plan for the agencies involved and those aredayold more in the report and i wont go into them here but happy to engage on any questions around that if we get to it. So just jumping in, really the primary, early Panel Recommendation was repositioning this project which, i think, has erroneously perceived by some as a project benefiting just sanfrancisco. Theres been a lot changing in the region since the inception of phase 2, dtx, not the least of which a transbay crossing is looking at tying the region together and this project, we see as vital to that and really, needs a Value Proposition kind of reset to make the case of the regional importance and really retagging it a project of Regional National significance which is also a hook to federal funding from surface authorizations in the past. Clearly, the engagement of the elected officials at every level needs to occur and i think the panel felt that this includes engaging the public directly and really articulating the benefits, both on a social equity, environmental and certainly economical developments that are as a result of this magnificent downtown for phase two and its critical from the panels perspective to identify champions, both inside the project and clearly externally and do so over generations. This takes awhile. It wont be just one person. This is a longterm investment. The panel felt that it is critical to hit this reset now to be competitive. The federal funding landscape, we in california are not just competing nationally but competing against other megaproperties in the l. A. Region, but right here in the bay area and we need to be very clear on our Value Proposition and our funding and finance plan needs to be credible to garner that support. I wanted to underscore that this is these recommendations are really around just this twoyear period. I think one of the activities in the twowork plan is to dive into a look, deeper look at the overall governance longterm and project delivery. We did not embark on doing that and it was more of a focus on how to harness the agencies in the region, focused on project delivery phase and clearly there will be more discussions about that but i wanted to make that point. The recommendations, which a lot of what we heard today focusing on phase one and closeout of those activities, a lot of understanding of the operations and maintenance of the facility is clearly a core focus and that was recognised by the panel. I think the mr. Zeranogas report about an mou in progress, that was the panels understanding, is theres a lot of details to work out through that process, but the overarching recommendation was to lover strength in the regions to strengthen the delivery of dtx, including caltrain, california highspeed rail, mtc, the city and county of San Francisco and sfcta, city and county of San Francisco could be filled by sfmta, city planning, i think the panel was deferring that to the mayors decision but making sure that all players were in the boat. There are in addition to dtx, obviously a number of other related projects underway, pennsylvania avenue, 22n 22nd street station, fourth and king and theyre all very relate and all champions need to be a part of that process, we felt. This group would be the project delivers to this structure, the incidenintegrated program team e end of the year. I think thats ambitious but i think as weve heard, theres been a lot of discusses on the mou to date to move that forward. Within that structure, like other megaprojects that inform this recommendation, it would be development of an executive Steering Committee which would be compromised of the executive directors of each of the agencies i mentioned that would be developing attack or oversight body of a lot of the staff that would be responsible for helping to advance some of these decisions that comes to the efc within this twoyear work plan and help to expedite inteinstead of requiring to evey board to move decisions up to this board for final approval or rejection. And i wont list all of these but a couple of the other areas that the panel felt strongly about that would require concurrence by the executive Steering Committee before coming to this board would be selection of the Program Director for the rail portion of this project for dtx and, also, developing a phasein plan or an initial operating segment that is fundable, affordable and is going to require some hard decisions. But the panel felt very strongly that was critical to do to achieve service by 2028, which is in our report as a target goal. And finally, i think the twoyear work plan really, as i said before, would end with a procurement in 2021 and it was not envisioned this would go beyond that and that would be up to the stakeholders involved to assess and make decisions at that point. And so we didnt opine on that in the report. The panel felt it was critical to separate some of the high conf
