Civility toward cities and the challenge that cities face. I future looks promising and i look forward to 2021. Regarding phase 2, i was joined by the chair, c. F. O. To provide an update to the california project of transportation, tony tavares and numerous staff from the cal tran team and the statewide division of rail and mass transit. We provided an overview on project history, outlined work completed since the projects reactivation in june, provided forecast of upcoming information and the funding plan. Further, to our advancing phase 2, on october 15, we provided a project update to the bay area delegation which included senator and board chair jerry hill, san mateo counties. Along with the senate and Assembly TransportationCommittee Staff and offices. 20 legislative offices participated. We provided information about the project history, current status and activities as well as future plans to advance the project. The presentation was well received and we plan to continue our communication with these offices. Regarding the r. F. P. S i briefed you on in the last meeting, we have two contracts today on the regular calendar. The pmis contract and the. It has progressed well. The Interview Panel that consisted of chair chang, director, recommended a candidate to enter into negotiations with. Those negotiations are under way. Regarding operations. Weve been pleased with the progress made by the citied on county of San Francisco as it relates to opening more social activities. On tuesday, mayor breed announced that San Francisco will roll back the activities in response to an increase in the covid19 cases. Well continue to monitor and adhere to guidance on the citys Health Officer and work closely with transit agencies to reduce the Community Spread of covid19. Well also provide commuters and visitors with the most uptodate information about maskwearing and social distancing through multiple lingual, Digital Displays and announcements. Additionally, enhancing cleaning protocols remain in place and well have a more updated report from john. Exciting news to share. Were proud to announce the sale force Transit Center has been selected as winner of the 2020 american architectural award. The process, the museum of architecture and design and art design in urban settings received a Record Number of entries. They are especially excited to rise through the field of other Great Projects and accept the award. Award ceremony would have been held in los angeles, but due to covid19, we received our award virtually and were still just as excited to receive it that way. We fully acknowledge that this was a team effort and we thank all that were part of that amazing project. As mentioned at our last meeting, director of communications, she returned to the fulltime. We undertook the recruitment of the legislative affairs manager. Im thrilled to announce we concluded negotiations and will have a wonderful new addition to add to our team in december. We wont share her name just yet as she makes the rounds to her department and what not, but i did have a little bit of knowing who she might be. Shell likely join us for our december meeting, if not [indiscernible] that concludes my report, directors. Id be happy to take any questions before having mr. Updyke do his facility director update on operations. Chair sesay do any members have questions . We have none. John updyke will give his report. Thats right. Well have him present his facility operations update. Thank you. Thank you, good morning. Chair, members. If you can tee up the presentation. Great. Thank you. You can roll to the next slide. So briefly a review of some of the changes weve made from an operation standpoint, just as smart cost saving measures. These were all done in concert with the affected transit staff primarily a. C. Transit, but also sfmta and others. One item we affected was darkening some of the kiosks that resulted in considerable savings of license fees that we pay each month for each kiosk. Its a skip stop affair, so there is a kiosk visible no matter where you are. And of course at each operating bus, were able to turn off almost 60 different kiosks on the bay and in the grand hall. Additionally, weve had uptick of vandalism behavior issues in the restrooms near bay 15, near the center of the facility on the bus deck. As a pilot, we have begun closing those on the weekend and opening restrooms up on the park, which previously were closed during the shelterinplace. So that patrons had alternatives. There are two other Restroom Facilities on either end. It has been a success so far. Well look at perhaps extending that, but well wait to see some Public Comments coming in as to whether that has been a problem or not. So well keep you posted on that. And relative to the bus storage facility, again, given the low tempo of use, weve made landscaping and engineering reductions. Theyre still having to attack the graffiti unfortunately at 2nd and 3rd street, but nonetheless, able to manage the facility with a slight reduction in resources there. Thats really a direct savings for ac transit. Again, thats been done in concert with the staff. While we have done that, we have not changed at all our cleaning regimen. So the hightouch cleaning remains in force. You can see the staff at the playground just before its opening. We placed new signage throughout the facility, consolidating the messages coming from the Public Health director in one laminated clear sign, rather than having multiple signs. I think that will have a good effect. So those are up at all elevators, stairways and entrance areas. Parks good news. The playground reopened october 19 after a Public Health regulations were posted and safely opening playgrounds. Were happy to see that open. Its been enjoyed by the residents in the area. Also, returning to zumba classes. A lot of folks were excited to see that come back. Were working with fitness s. F. And they did deliver that service from their contract trainers, providing everything we can for our anchor tenant to be successful. We wanted to make sure they had the first opportunity to open up those classes. Those are free and open to the public every wednesday. We have a smooth handoff to the landscape management. Theyve done a wonderful job. We have a punch list walk. One of the best ive had in my career. I believe we had one item that needed to be corrected which was resolved by the end of the day. That was terrific. Also, as director gonzales noted, s. F. Will have to dial back the use of the interior due to new restrictions imposed by the city. So there is a cap in the building reduced. As a result of that, we have begun discussions yesterday frankly to look at outdoor opportunities for them on the toma where they can still bring in more members and have activities, but do it outside. So were working through the logistics with them, we hope to effect that. Of course, in concert with the regulations by the Public Health department. Moving to retail leasing. Youve seen this slide before. It does have a few updates. The exploratory work done in the plaza to identify exactly which utility subs we had and how available they would be to a vendor, that work has been completed. It was very successful. Removed tremendous amounts of potential risk from our vendors activities or allowed us to dial in the anticipated costs to connect the kiosk. So we have moved now to just a sentence or two or away from a letter of intent. Well begin negotiations. I hope to have a positive announcement next Board Meeting relative to that. The prospective vendor is targeting a spring opening. So theyre excited about coming into the park and were going to begin to build that business as soon as possible. Negotiations for suite 232, just down the hall from our offices here on the beale street side of the facility continue. We have a little ways to go, but were progressing nicely and in parallel with that, were working with their the prospective vendor there and their architect on specific plans so we can define more specifically their anticipated tenant improvement package. So thats coming along nicely. Im also pleased to report that we do have two proposals were vetting for suites 133 and 137. Were not at the point where were trading paper yet, but very positive discussions and i will take positive discussions in that current era. Particularly in downtown. So thats good news. Colliers is doing a terrific job, out there hustling for us trying to find opportunities. Update on occupancy. So one change made since our last report to you. That is we have now effected the termination of foundation cafes, suite 141, as we have discussed with you previously. That really is a mutual agreement between the tjpa and stems from the unfortunate decision to close up their business entirely in San Francisco. It just was the economics were not going to work for them. We do feel for them. Theyre just going to move on in their life and this is best for all parties. So a mutual termination has been executed and that property will go back on the market actually starting tomorrow. That does change slightly our occupancy rate down from i believe it was 81 , now its 78 . I hope soon to bring that back up as we move forward with the leases i talked about that are in negotiations. Tenant improvements. Lots to report on that front. Very good news. Our friends at verizon suite 145 did a soft opening yesterday. They should be open to the public today. Its terrific to see them come on board and terrific to see them come on board at this time in downtown. Its just a wonderful sign we were able to have a tenant open in these very difficult circumstances. We wish them all the best. And just really happy to see them open for business. Cell phone work. If you need it, go and stop and see them. Another project that has been moving along nicely is the kaiser suite. That is almost 2000 square feet. Were nearing completion. There are a few things left to tidy up before they have their occupancy permit, but can see the facility is moving nice. Theyve done a wonderful job here. And they have pushed their opening to sometime between march and may. I put may on the slide here. It will be an economic decision they will make, but regardless, theyll be paying rent. Theyre just trying not to open in an atmosphere that makes it really difficult for them. We understand that. Were encouraging them to open as early as possible and the discussions continue. Great job on the suite. They do have a lot of staff training efforts. This is a prototype facility for them. There is none like it in the bay area for kaiser, so we can understand it will take them a while to open regardless. Another project under way is also just down the hall from the tjpa offices on the beale street side and that is spring fertility. Suites 222 and 224. They are hard at work putting in their infrastructure. Their targeted opening will be First Quarter of 2021 and rent will commence just before thanksgiving pursuant to the term or letter that was previously delivered to them. The general contractor, i must say they have done a fantastic job. Theyve had to work around our artifacts and our small museum area and the common area lobby and lots of tie ins and theyve done a clean job. Really happy to see them move forward with the project. Remaining tenant spaces, a change here on this slide and the next slide, is that we have pushed projected openings for the restaurants to q3, although we may see happy lemon open earlier than that. They did open up catty corner from the hotel on the embarcadero, thats a good sign. But they have work to do before theyre ready to go. So we have conservatively estimated a q3 opening in our daily conversations with the tenants wanting to be sure they have success and patronage upon opening. You see the other three per diems. Thats a pretty extensive buildout. So frankly, when theyre done, they will open and that will probably be q3 of 2021. And similarly, that package is being worked on now between their team and our team on the architectural side. Good news on the gender neutral restroom project. This is a precursor necessary for the opening of several of these restaurants in order to be code compliant relevant to restrooms. Just a few things to button up. Well make the targeted completion of this quarter of 20. So as we roll into 2021, that project will be completed on time and on budget. So happy to report on that approximately 500,000 project. Lastly, youve seen this slide in various forms before from the chief financial officer. What we will be doing is providing you with a future as we populate this with actual expenses accrued through the system. Right now we dont have that accrue yet. As they do accrue, we have agreed on the formatting and presentation youll receive, so well be able to give you highlighted, more details in the areas ive highlighted here. The base building contingency. Something were watching very, very carefully. The base building additions, tenant improvements, allowance budget and landlord work and tenant work we negotiate lease by lease. So you see the aggregate numbers. Those are consistent with what you adopted in the budget and then well bring you detailed realtime info as that amounts are put into the system. Well have much more details on that in coming meetings. Happy to answer any questions you might have. Madame chair . Chair sesay do we have any questions from Board Members . Thank you for that presentation, guys. Im excited that were still able to deliver on leases and were able to have openings coming online by 2021. Just really impressive work. Thank you. And i like the budget slide [laughter]. Thank you, chair. If i could just comment, im sorry, im having difficulty raising my hand. I will work on the technology. Sorry about that. I just wanted to congratulate on the opening. I think that is incredibly impressive of verizon and also the restaurants youre targeting. I think its good ground work being laid for recovery on the other side of this covid pandemic. So its very good report and thank you for having a lot of sparks of good news in your report. Thank you. Thank you. No other questions on this or comments, well turn it over to dennis to the b. L. A. Update report. Jason, thank you for bringing that up. Good morning, directors. Dennis, tjpa senior construction manager. Ill provide the q3, 2020 project Labor Agreement report. We held a joint Administrative Committee meeting on september 17 with all the unions present. During the interim executive director report we provided an update to each of the trades so they could understand the newly formed memo of understanding and also the executive Steering Committee as we look forward towards phase 2. The unions are as excited as we are. They know this new element is in the process. The construction closeout and the leasing updates were similar so the ones provided to the board right before that meeting. And then the update on the apprenticeship and veterans programs were very exciting news that we provided to the unions. One of our tenant improvement contractors, m. A. Steiner, he was m. A. Steiner is doing the kitchen exhaust for all those restaurants that are going to be opening up next year. I see the company was awarded the award of appreciation by the elite Service Disabled veterans own business network, which is a National Organization of very, very special organization. So we were very excited because that has been one of our core values, promoting veterans and programs and this was receiving this support is very exciting as part of the improvement program. So that will pass on to the unions. And then the p. L. A. Does continue through the tender of the improvements. That was reiterated to the trades as we work through for the next year or so with the tenant improvement. Under the labor development, all the labor needs are being met for the tenants improvements. And this were zero recordable or lost time. For the first half. And really through today, there has been no Safety Incidents on any of the tenant improvement construction. One other note. Just to mention that two of our tenant contractors are with the carpenters union. Theyre working directly with them. And theyre going to work it out to get through the process. Tjpa supports that to ensure that the p. L. A. Is upheld and well ensure that this issue gets resolved and we move forward. With that, that completes the p. L. A. Q3 update. If there are any questions, let me know. Seeing no questions, moderator, are there any members of the public in the queue wishing to speak on this item . There are not. Great. Move to the next item. Item 6 is the Citizens Advisory Committee update. We have our c. A. C. Chair who will address you on the item. Good morning, directors. Im derek holt. Earlier this week we had advisory Committee Meeting tuesday evening. The c. A. C. Is optimistic for increased Political Support for recent transportation projects in california after the recent election. We appreciate executive director gonzales level of consistency and familiarity with the complex issues she brings to the table. Its fantastic to hear about the award and recognition that the Transit Center has earned. The c. A. C. Members also appreciated updates by john updyke. A few moments ago c. A. C. Members have suggestions about signage. We were excited to see the recent changes in the report. Given the covid situation, the update was good news for us. A new food and beverage vendor, prospects for spring opening, engaging the neighborhood issues and the Verizon Store opening and other positive retail dynamics are all well received tuesday evening at the c. A. C. Meeting. From c. A. C. Members, there were questions regarding security, the number of visitors to the park and the homeless situation, the homeless population. We appreciate the successful efforts that the Security Director rodney harris. There were positive support comments of mr. Updykes update, including signage, gender neutr
