VI. TBAC Speakers

Paul Taylor (Deputy Chief Executive Officer): Mr. Taylor offered that he will continue the commitment of the office of the CEO to have one of the officers present at the monthly TBAC meetings. He stated that Metro is going through a transition period at this time and that it may appear to be limit resources, but it takes time to complete a transition. LACMTA mandated a program of improvement and services to be implemented over the next 30 years and recognize the need to realign the organization to deliver these programs. The 30/10 project (to complete 30 years worth of projects in 10 years) includes12 rail transit projects and 20% of funds of Measure R to be spent on new projects that include highway projects. It's the plan to accelerate these projects under Measure R. They are looking at ways to accelerate and partner with others to make the change. Metro is asking the Federal Government for access to low cost capital. Mr. Taylor talked about the funding and bonding opportunities to fund the programs that are currently in place and others that have not begun. Rolly Rothman representing ACEC: Mr. Rothman explained that he is on the board of the local American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) and is requesting that ACEC be moved to the TBAC membership list. (The membership has been submitted and is currently under consideration by Metro.)

VI. METRO Contracting Opportunities – Tashai Smith A list of the contract look-ahead's and current contracts was distributed. See handouts for detailed information. The report shows an increase in DBE participation based on what's been awarded to date. Congratulations were extended to Robert Weir on completing a contract with Metro. The reporting of contract completions will be provided in the future.

Commodities - Ezekiel Patten No report.

Carlos Morgner - Three suggestions: 1) he received a suggestion that a US Flag be put in the TBAC meeting room and to have the pledge of allegiance at the start of the meeting. 2) Refreshments for the TBAC meeting are currently provided by TBAC. Members are suggesting that a Prime Contractor sponsor the food which will allow them to meet small businesses and possibly work together. They would be allowed to offer company brochures, etc. for the TBAC members. This will afford an increased in participation in TBAC and there will be no cost to the organization. 3) Allow five minutes at each meeting for a member to describe successful business strategies. The Vice-Chair (Ezekiel Patten) responded to the suggestions - The first two items are new and will be taken under consideration. The third item may have been suggested in the past. This will be discussed.

X. Public Comments 1.. Keith Compton - Reminder about the Calcon expo scheduled for August 12th in Pasadena. 2. Keith Compton - The Vendor Diversity Program will be held next year in Los Angeles at the

Staples Center in February. Mr. Compton advised that this program spent $2m last year when it was held in Dallas. This program has a list of vendors that must be used for certain items when they come to town, but the vendors they use must be registered/certified. There are four agencies whose certifications they accept. The information is on their website. Deadline is September 1.

3. Chinese American Construction Professionals reported that they are hosting two workshops - the first is June 24 on High Speed Rail (HSR), and the other is on July 9 on training and certifications and doing business with public agencies. Sherman Gay will be the speaker at the July event.

4. If there is an event that any TBAC member or member organization would like to go on the calendar, please forward it to the proper person on the Board.
