Presentation of Employee of the Month Award to Phillip Chaney, Operating Engineers and Ironworkers Superintendent, Bridge Division

President Boro presented the Employee of the Month Award to Operating Engineers and Ironworkers Superintendent Phillip Chaney, and expressed his congratulations on behalf of the Board of Directors.

District Engineer Denis Mulligan reported that all items contained in the Engineer’s Report are informational.

At the meeting, Mr. Mulligan reported that, on July 14, 2010, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) will hold a Programming and Allocations Committee (MTC Committee) meeting. Discussion will take place regarding a $5 million grant to the District for the final design of the Golden Gate Bridge Suicide Barrier (Suicide Barrier). Should that item be approved by the MTC Committee, the full Board of MTC will take action at its meeting of July 28, 2010. Should MTC’s decision be favorable, District staff will present an item to the District Board in August 2010 requesting a budget amendment and approval to release a request for proposals for the final design and preparation of construction specifications for the Suicide Barrier.

Discussion ensued, including the following comments and inquiries:

• Director Reilly inquired as to the current status of the Doyle Drive Reconstruction Project (Doyle Drive). In response, Mr. Mulligan stated that District staff has voiced concerns to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) regarding traffic management, which has resulted in the scheduling of a meeting between District staff and Caltrans staff during the week of July 12 through 16, 2010. He stated that the public are concerned about weekend traffic levels, road closures and re-routing of traffic. District staff will attempt to facilitate solutions. Mr. Witt added that the District is responding to public concerns regarding traffic across the Bridge by making adjustments on a day to day basis.

• President Boro commented that members of the public do not differentiate between California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the District. He directed staff to prepare, for his signature, a letter to Caltrans specifying that Caltrans must use every measure at its disposal to respond adequately to the public’s concerns.

• Director Elsbernd commented that a status report on Doyle Drive should be routinely agendized for discussion at future Board meetings. In response, Ms. Kupersmith stated that the District Secretary’s Office will include a Doyle Drive status report on future Board agendas for the duration of the Doyle Drive Project.
