As adam our executive director pointed out example to receive news from january and possible low february on our admittance to the phase of the Grant Program.

Adam, did you have comments . Directors only add i kicked off we plan to come to you with an updated graphic and more nuanced look ahead on cash flow. The grant applications we continue to submit, f project like this we have to carve out a set of scope for those. The 97 Million Dollars state application to advance the rail specific design we need a different source for those funds the megagrants in the next month or so is for the advanced work. And that is 117 Million Dollars. The 30 Million Dollars for another sxoech work. So what we want to have a robust discussion with you we advance the prosecute curement and alfonso out lines the Funding Sources for you scope of work and what is the run away for the scopes so we issue a notice to proceed we are eatingtory get contractor on board to advance us past 30 design and help us think through constructability, efficiency and fadzing and other thing this is impact cost, schedule and out reach. Only to do so on a cash flow days base look forward to having that discussion i dont have a separate visual. If you visual low recall the pi chart 211 million of current applications 97 was for that fed state went to per ins at high speed rail and other projects and the remained are of the 117 for mega. Thank you. Dpreshth baptiste looks like we are ready with the questions. This is raising a question for me. Which assume we will discuss in january im curious about the timing of the contract management. The i cant remember the keep an eye on things. Yes. Thank you. The time of that and how it matches up with the funding question. That remain. Etch so, when we talk about it next month helpful for me to understand what bodies of work are sort of durable and lasting. Which are conteenage and how those pieces fit in addition to cash flow is a part of the form well. And so we can keep it straight and understand where we are making mart investments begin on going uncertainty. Absolutely and we have been working as a team to focus that. So. Take for example our rightofway program there are things that site assessments site conscience and analysis which is evergreen and left for years special other things araiseals a shelf life of 6 months we need to time once with the short shelf life until just in time the other in advance it get those schedule complete. And capitolize on investment and funding opportunity. Other questions, directors . Very good. Thank you for joining us at the caltrain Board Meeting last week. And directors the trivia question is since we were not there 160 years ago who was president at the time. Abraham lincoln. Public comment . We have members online moderator. Let the first caller in. Good morning, directors happy hell day this is is michael resident of numbera and advise rear counsel. I am hesitant about support this is going with circumstance curves the tightest radius in the entire high speed rail system. And servicing now a 2 row yard to 6 tracks. It and 3 platform its does not make sense from a passenger arriving from los angeles i hit the ground. Im on my way and with station time and sharp curves in the station i am at my destination rather than geting last mile that last mile does not serve bart or muni i have to take a walk. Why not end it up 7th or fifth street to powell or civic center you have empty buildings you use the stations and cut the costs here. Africanamerican you sight in your website grand central. 67 tracks and [inaudible] and thats what you compare yourself with that is not fair to the public. That cost is 2. 5 billion. [inaudible] thank you for the opportunity. I would like to thank director van de water for attending the caltrain Board Meeting left week. I would like to take this opportunity to question by direct davis. The time may be that while we impact the yards. Let alone the under lying assets. Including and terrible for the n complaint is 16th street turn backtrack on 7th street i hope this make sense. Thank you. All right. Thank you caller this concludes the member who is wanted to comment on item 14 move with item 16 or 17 down to item 17. The approval and fourth and kingiard for peculiarage bee. And trans further and king yard agreement. Alfonso. I have a brief presentation the item the Delivery Agency for fourth and king track and system relocation work. We call this contract 214 k yushgs b. Im sorry for the acronyms contract. Im sorry. Contract 214 k y b im not going to say they will call at this time rail yard contract. How about that. And this would be subject to approval of fourth and king agreement we plan on bringing before the boards for boopgz next year. We brought packaging changes last month included separation of the work performed at the rail yard in the 2 contract packagesil say contract a and b. Contract a, demolition and site prepation on the north frontage on towns end and this allows dtx to construct the tunnel and under ground station. Fourth and townsend station. Contract b includes surface track work and systems work within the rail yard and cal trains main yard south main line to 16th street. That provides for the future connection in the portal project. Through a you wall that is in the rail yard. The explanation of the 2 packages provides the collective team and when i refer to team Going Forward i mean both now. With the opportunity to better manage risks for work. And the risk associated with construction on the railiard for safe transit operations and of course construction safety. Caltrain took similar action on december 7 to obtain approval to implement a construction manager general contract deliveref approach. And that is to deliver the package b work the work on the rail yard and this is subject to approval of the agreement our 2 averages will consider next year. Staff is recommending the boards approval. For the actually staff is recommending approval of the conceptual approach of having caltrain to service the Delivery Agency for fourth and king Site Preparation pack okay b work conditioned on the final terms of the planned rail yard agreement well present next spring possible low early summer. I will be happy to answer questions you might have. Thank you. Directors, questions or michelle did you want to make additions . Were this is result of very thoughtfulful work that is worked through the ip nt and esc it is about identifying the risks. And what parties are best suited mitigate those risks. Wanted reiterate the statements that al financeo said. Thank you. Thank you. Directors, questions . In concept and i understand how this mitigates operational risks in all situations zeal tension with cost and continuity of operation. And so as you think about the terms of the agreement the costs fit with tgpa and caltrain i would encourage you how to put a press in place that allows those things to be balanced. And they both matter and they are trade offs creating tension. But i am supportive of this as a concept. Thank you.

Please. 18 is authorizing the executive director to declaration of site restrictions of purof determination for transbay parcel i to facilitate the office of commitment Infrastructure Development of the planned under ramp park and we have walsh to introduce. Good morning again directors. Report walsh. The director for tjpa here to present item 18. Tjp astaff requests the board to authorize to execute declaration of site restrictions for relinquishment of power of tomorrow nigz for parcel i prime. Another step on the path to the realization of under ramp park now known as the east cut dog park. Delivery of the park will be require several future actions and approvals. And including approvals by the tjpa, ocii city of San Francisco. East kul cut cbd and others. With this i invite bench min transbay project manager from oyii for a brief update and available to answer question system pier well guard from east cut cbd and thats it. Okay. Thank you. Good morning chair gee and directors im bench min brandon with ocii the project manager the status for under remark p we are in Design Development phase we were in front of you about 6 months ago with the design for your review that was approve exclude with that approval we moved into that Design Development line. We are at the 50 design phase. And expect to be 100 and move to construction documentation. As he said there are discretionary approvals need including permitting and submission of plans and the tjpa and cal trance for engineering as limp the project is making good progress. This step is necessary because going back to the beginning of the project area had the right to possess the parcel. And without this restrictions restrict for example a park use cal trance could reclaim it. This declaration. S restrictions allow you to continue forward with developing the will park and restrict it for a park use. I think the original agreement required we had this executed by january first of 2024. We are right at the limit. And the requirement also states the park has to be completed by january first of 2028. Weer a quick time line to get it done but dont have reason to believe we will not get there happy to answer questions you may have. Thank you very much. Directors, questions . Directored. Of just a quick question on the what you described what does it 19take action in obligations to complete the p by 2028 . Um what it means simple low is that the tjpa is stating to caltrans restricting parcel for this use. They dont have an obligation to finish the park ocii does the tjpa does not have any obligation to funds the park or to complete the park. That obligation is with ocii. The tjpa is our partner and the landowner or controller for the park. But the plan for management of the p is tht east cut cbd will enter in an combrement with the tjpa to fulfill what role. Ocii serves the developer of the p for responsible foreration the money and the design and engineering and construction. And ensuring the park is delivered the tjpa enter into this agreement with the east cut for the management. That helps. Great sum row, thank you. Other questions, directors . Public comment .

Hello operators, im jeff tumlin recollect director of transportation. Im jour San Francisco fire chief jeanine nicholson. First and formost, i like to thank you for everything you do to help our passengers get around the city. It is safety in mind we like to talk about what to do if you encounter any kind of emergency scene while on your route if you see a ambuljs and fire engine on the side thf street, this usually indicates there is some type of medical emergency. The first thing you should do is look out for Emergency Personnel in the area. If there is room to proceed, do so, if you cannot pass safely, contact the Transit Management control center for instructions. Active fire scenes meanple while may appear static but can become dynamic in seconds. You may see engines trucks and vehicles with flashing red lights. The best course of action is call the tmc and give as much information as you can, including the site and nature of the emergency. There should be a captain or Public Safety officer on the scene who can tell you what is going on. Then let you know whether you have permission to take a dudetore. If you are caught in the middle of the scene only proceed once directed by fire personnel. A Public Safety officer will guide through the emergency scene, tell you to wait or recommend that you go out of serveess if the emergency is prolonged. Be sure in this situation to give all proper notifications to the tmc. It is important to note that if you see a fire hose on the ground, stop. Do not drive over it. You never want to drive over a fire house. Firefighters have been serious injured. Remember the best course of action is notify your supervisor and the tmc and wait for instructions. Explain to passengers what is happen. If you cannot detour you have to stop and possibly go out of service as you waitd for direction from fire personnel. The San Francisco Fire Department understands and appreciates that muni has timelines to adhere to, but no schedule is worth risking the safety of our City Employees and customers. Thank you again for all you do, and are thank you for keeping muni youre watching quick bite, the show that has San Francisco. Were here at one of the many food centric districts of San Francisco, the 18th street corridor which locals have affectionately dubbed the castro. A cross between castro and gastronomic. The bakery, pizza, and dolores park cafe, there is no end in sight for the mouth watering food options here. Adding to the culinary delights is the family of business he which includes skylight creamery, skylight and the 18 raisin. Skylight market has been here since 1940. Its been in the family since 1964. His father and uncle bought the market and ran it through sam taking it over in 1998. At that point sam revamped the market. He installed a kitchen in the center of the market and really made it a place where chefs look forward to come. He created community through food. So, we designed our community as having three parts we like to draw as a triangle where its comprised of our producers that make the food, our staff, those who sell it, and our guests who come and buy and eat the food. And we really feel that we wouldnt exist if it werent for all three of those components who really support each other. And thats kind of what we work towards every day. Valley creamery was opened in 2006. The two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sams wife, supplied all the pastries and bakeries for the market. They found a space on the block to do that and the ice cream kind of came as an afterthought. They realized the desire for ice cream and we now have lines around the corner. So, thats been a huge success. In 2008, sam started 18 reasons, which is our community and event space where we do five events a week all around the idea of bringling people closer to where the food comes from and closer to each other in that process. 18 reasons was started almost four years ago as an educational arm of their work. And we would have dinners and a few classes and we understood there what momentum that people wanted this type of engagement and education in a way that allowed for a more indepth conversation. We grew and now we offer i think we had nine, we have a series where adults learned home cooking and we did a teacher Training Workshop where San Francisco unified Public School teachers came and learned to use cooking for the core standards. We range all over the place. We really want everyone to feel like they can be included in the conversation. A lot of organizations i think which say were going to teach cooking or were going to teach gardening, or were going to get in the policy side of the food from conversation. We say all of that is connected and we want to provide a place that feels really Community Oriented where you can be interested in multiple of those things or one of those things and have an entree point to meet people. We want to build community and were using food as a means to that end. We have a wonderful organization to be involved with obviously coming from buy right where really everyone is treated very much like family. Coming into 18 reasons which even more Community Focused is such a treat. We have these events in the evening and we really try and bring people together. People come in in groups, meet friends that they didnt even know they had before. Our whole set up is focused on communal table. You can sit across from someone and start a conversation. Were excited about that. I never worked in catering or food service before. Its been really fun learning about where things are coming from, where things are served from. It is getting really popular. Shes a wonderful teacher and i think it is a Perfect Match for us. It is not about home cooking. Its really about how to facilitate your ease in the kitchen so you can just cook. I have always loved eating food. For me, i love that it brings me into contact with so many wonderful people. Ultimately all of my work that i do intersects at the place where food and community is. Classes or cooking dinner for someone or writing about food. It always come down to empowering people and giving them a wonderful experience. Empower their want to be around people and all the values and reasons the commitment, community and places, were offering a whole spectrum of offerings and other really wide range of places to show that good food is not only for wealthy people and they are super committed to accessibility and to giving people a glimpse of the beauty that really is available to all of us that sometimes we forget in our day to day running around. We have such a philosophical mission around bringing people together around food. Its so natural for me to come here. We want them to walk away feeling like they have the tools to make change in their lives. Whether that change is voting on an issue in a way that they will really confident about, or that change is how to understand why it is important to support our small farmers. Each class has a different purpose, but what we hope is that when people leave here they understand how to achieve that goal and feel that they have the resources necessary to do that.

I thought we were done rolling. You know, i remember when i was a teenager, they did i think it was on the grammys, boss scags narrated the San Francisco scene and they did a spot on it and how its evolved and convergence of multi culture and the emergence of gay community, lgbtq, it was not even called that then. So like any good listening back then, i played softball and a friend on the team said, the Fire Department is recruiting women. I took the test in 88 and 89 i got hired. And i always say this, it was like a perfect career, it was like social work, i love that connecting and helping people aspect and physical. So i was like a social worker with an ax basically. And i just thought, this is like, this is it, i hit the jackpot. Part of my story is, i grew up across the street from a fire station and as a young girl, i use today love going in there and would go in there whenever my parents voted, they the old fashion voting machines. Sxifs in awe of the place but i never saw anybody that looked anything like me. It was all men, it was all white men and so, i never knew that i could do that. This was in the 70s. And i worked in several Different Things and i was at the pride parade in 1991. And the chief of the department, she i did give her courtesy card to come in, i remember it to this day, june 30th. The hand and hand together and i was with a friend of mine and fire fighter named anita prattly came up to me and we had a mutual friend and we didnt meet. And she came by the table and as soon as i looked at her, i said hi o to my friend, i could see she was super athletic. And she knew my friend and she said hey, do you want to be a fire fighter, heres an interest card, join us. There was something about her that could roll with the punches and also give a few punches. She would be great and i just knew it. I did give her the courtesy card. It was my greatest achievement. And it was something i saw myself, yeah, i love a good crisis. And im good in crisis and im good on thinking on my feet. And im you know, super fit and physical, maybe i can do this awesome. But just in terms of pride in general, being able to go to pride and be who we are and be who i am, its like the sense of digity and equality and inclusion. I was always incredibly proud to represent the community and to be doing service for the community, because thats what i love doing. Coming to San Francisco for me, was really key because i love the city. The city is so vibrant and diversity is really, its one of its treasures. So being part of a department that represents diversity is huge and so important to me that we welcome everyone. And not just face value, truly to integrate to have diversity, have representation not just on the fire fighter level but all levels in this department, all ranks up and down the chain of command. Its huge and its, stepping in as a woman of color as part of the Lgbtq Community, means more than just myself, right. I represent more than just myself. But as a leader, other people in this department, other people in the community that are looking at me and seeing that there is space for them. And so that is really creating space for everyone. When i first joined the military, it was still under dont ask dont tell. I had to be super cautious about what i was doing. I was still figuring out what i was doing. I joined when i was 19, i knew i was part of the community i was not accepting yet. My first duty station was officer guam and thats where i got to explore who i was. And being under the umbrella of dont ask dont tell, and having a friend being separated because he was gay. It was very rule. Had you to make sure that you were following the rules you needed to do everything you need today do. I was fortunate to be there when dont ask dont tell was repealed. You find people who are making a big deal about it, the next day everybody went to work like nothing happened. We were accepted and nobody made a big deal about it. Work performance was even better because you didnt have to hide something and worry about hiding. The transition from that world into this one is basically the exact same. I was able to just jump in and just you know, not even test the waters. I grew up with firefighters, my uncle and cuss infor a volunteer department in canada. Here its quite different, bigger department, a lot of different people. You know, just working with San Francisco i really enjoy having all the different personalities, background, experiences, im a pro lead rhyme now. Im a year into my probation and im already finished. And i felt like everybody has brought me in and show me what they know. And regardless of my sexuality, my gender, my race, i was 28 when i decided to change my career and go any different direction. Im 35 now just starting out in a whole different field. San francisco has a Large Population of Lgbtq Community in general and our department is reflective on that. The one thing i love about the San Francisco Fire Department, is we do look like the community we serve and were making every strife to reflect that. So even in our out reach, recruitment efforts, were trying to make sure that every Single Person including the Lgbtq Community has an opportunity to become a member of our department. Soz a subpoena officer, its important to make sure that i welcome my crew. That includes every Single Member that is on my apparatus, i feel we can do a better job. My dad was a football coach and he taught me to persevere and be committed and im showing that im doing that. Im very proud to say that i get to start my career off as a fire fighter for the San Francisco Fire Department. And im proud to be who i am, proud to be all the colors that i represent, proud to be, you know, i love being a woman in the department and to feel comfortable with who i am and very secure and excited to come to work. You know, one thing my mom also en grained anything we set our heart to and anything we wanted to do, the only thing stopping us was us. Its my dream to be a Fire Department member and im here, being changed because of who i was and now being able to out and proud of who i am, its, i feel it should mean something. Its important as a San Francisco fire fighter, that we understand the community that we serve. Its important that our department is made up of different genders, different ethnicities, different sexual orientations, because the community that we serve need to reflect the apparatus. Ive seen, ive seen the evolution of this department, ive seen it change through the years. Were in a better place than we were many years ago. I think we continue to evolve. Im really hopeful for this next generation of leaders who do smart, determined, lead with heart and im hopeful for our future for this department Going Forward. Were your department. Were here for you. Were you and that, and i really believe that San Francisco really embodies that. I tell you, it was the greatest decision i ever made. I kept thinking, my gosh if i didnt play softball i wonder if i would have heard about it. Its funny you plan in life and gu to college and you plan your next steps, but the most profound decision nz life, is how you meet people are random. I was meant to be i think and it was such a great fit being that social worker with the ax, thats it. So i see San Francisco and San Francisco leadership and government as a beacon for the entire country. Because we are so up front about what we believe in, were really up front about inclusivity and i know that, others look at us, many look to us. Weve had other departments, contact us in terms of how do you, how do you do this . How do you create a diverse equitable and inclusive workforce . And so, but i would be lying if i said that we dont have any problems in california or in San Francisco or in the department. We are out liars, sure . Are we doing our best again to address those things with implicit bias training . With changing the culture, our department has made huge huge leaps as has the city and i really feel like San Francisco is part of the solution to moving forward in a better way.
