Beale metcalf aye vice chair harper and kim aye as well and item 9 is approved. Thank you item number 10. Debt management policy. Directors, as i eluded to in the previous item were negotiation an interim financing and a competitive rfp process within the last couple of months and we received nine proposals in our interim financing and were negotiating a direct loan with gold man sachs and the Interest Rates are very low right now so a variable rate loan structure may make the most sense but also may make sense to hedge against the risk of rising Interest Rates. However under the dodd frank act, Trading Commission regulation we can not have discussions of any sort regarding hedging without having policies in place that allow us to sign a safe harbor letter for gold man sachs this was drafted with the assistance of council and we do have a representation written representation from our Financial Advisor its not like the citys policy which is 24 pages long and goes into types of bonds and notes and that sort of thing so its much more general in nature but includes what we need it to include to have the discussions that we have im happy to answer any questions you have we also have bond council as well. Any questions or comments . Seeing none. Do we have a motion on this item. So moved. We have a motion, second. Roll call on this item. Director beall, metcalf aye director reiskin aye thats 5 ayes and item 10 is approved. Number 11 other related services with ross and baruzzini. Good afternoon i want to talk about the ross and baruzzini work on the concept of operations give you a little bit of background september 27th, 2013, tjpa issued professional services for concept of operations in support of safety and security programs at the cct and basically begin where human intervention needs to come into play where physical security measures like a cc tv requires human intervention therefore we have concept of operations it identifies operational measures procedures and response all that kind of good stuff in terms of human intervention to support any kind of threats any kind of events that would happen at the ttc these are done before the day of operations before day 1 of operation example is it would cover any kind of emergencies you can think of medical fire crime anything that could come up. In brief, it describes how Security SystemsWork Together with some of the other components that have been identified annie evacuation system and conops done day one have to be in place its commonly done and consistently done for any Transit Center you can think of and the mtc bart and ac transit San Francisco mta and all of these as you can see here all of these organizations prepare conops before day one of operation. So december 2013 we responded to five proposals there were five proposals from five different teams 3 teams interviewed based on a ranking system ross and baruzzini received the highest score they have prepared conops for San Francisco international airport. Extensive experience in the california area San Francisco area they have done a lot of Emergency Response work for bart, ac transit, caltrans consistently and working with Santa Clara Bta and Regional Transit district. The goal throughout the nation for transit facilities are to ensure the safety and security of anybody who will be in the ttc at any point in time during the day and night identifies documents that have Operational Risk based merit and an example would be how were going to coordinate with ac transit and kind of stock of stakeholders in there so it would be any of the facilities located next door and also include how were going to interact with San Francisco fire and Police Department so its anything you can think of in terms of how you operate and integrate your operations response. Thank you so much for the presentation thus far i just wanted to open up for questions andment comments thank you so much are there any questions . Director reiskin . So when i saw the agenda title it seemed to be a concept of operations and i think you had spoken in the past of developing one for the Center Obviously absolutely essential and when i read the item correctly, this is just a kind of for safety and security so i guess the two questions are and for just that subset its quite a bit of money so my two questions are is this meant to be a subset of an overall conops for the transbay Transit Center or is this it or if not when would it be done how would it be integrated why would we do this as a standalone or am i miss understanding this all . Oh no. No. No. What quadrants will be open when for example what time would we open or close the park so its really all incl u. S. Ive. It really is all inclusive. Were actually getting a good value. Its actually low cost it was higher than the number that ross and baruzzini came in with. What integration would be necessary or good with the transbay tour . Primary up on the roof top lets say they have a fire how will the ttc individuals who are responsible for that deal with that . Weve got connections in place now were working with those at this point to establish well have connectivity well have Information Exchange so you need a response on the side of the on the side of the ttc as well as a response on the side of the towers fremont or 181 so well have to coordinate with them well have to deal with which Evacuation Route we dont want all of their individuals coming onto our roof top parks so also theres how do you transit information is it going to be on a screen like this how will you send people which way are you going to go theres a lot of linkages that need to be dealt with but if you can think of trying to move people from sfo out quickly they have already done some of this so you are in good hands. Do they do wave finding. It includes that as well so signage anything you can think of and a major component of it very important is a staffing plan that will need to be done fairly soon that impacts the cost all covered within your current budget and i think you are getting a very good value for your dollar. What will the process be in terms of from here when we see this developing . You mean what are the deliverables due . Yeah when do we see. Were looking at about an 18year period for everything to be done you have Emergency Operations plan you have a staffing plan you have the concept of operations that will need all the Stakeholder Involvement and agreement and they will need to coordinate closely with ac transit you have their patrons coming into the Transit Center so an enormous amount of work that has to be done up front. Is part of the scope what happens after an earthquake in the bart tube goes down and were trying to surge on the bay bridge and deal with ac transit yes because we are connected to a critical lifeline structure the oakland bay bridge thats part of what were looking at what happens if everything shuts down what happens if the fifth street off ramp is no longer operable. Or the next bart strike. The strikes are important anything to do with civil unrest at all. Okay. Any other questions . I dont see any thank you very much. Thank you. Ive not received any indication that a member of the public we have mr. Patrick. I was concerned with one thing she said and thats with the transit tower and the park if you have a crowd control problem you have to be prepared to handle it from wherever they come from and its kind of narrow to say well put up a barrier so i think that needs to be rethought a little bit. Thank you. Thank you. So at this time is there a motion on this item . So moved.
