Board Member Contreras, would you please lead us
in the Pledge of Allegiance?
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
All right, I'm going to send this back over to Taylor who's going to provide a safety brief and review evacuation procedures
In case of an emergency. I will dial 9-1-1 in case of an evacuation
Please take the stairs do not use the elevators once cleared of the building do not re-enter unless cleared to do so by emergency
Personnel there are fire extinguishers and first-aid kits on each floor of the building
There's a portable defibrillator on the first floor and staff on hand trained on CPR procedures if needed this concludes my safety brief
Great. Are there any changes to the agenda?
Yes, there is okay, and if we could share that out. Thank you
Yes, after the agenda was posted staff added the closed session item pursuant to government code section
54956 point nine subsection d2
Okay. Thank you so much. And then moving on to public comments, do we have any today?
Yes. We have one in-person comment, public comment. Charlotte, you may now
take the stand. And you have three minutes. I apologize. I'm used to public
speaking without having a mic on anyway. Again, my name is Charlotte Arajpanam,
presently and enrolled at the University of San Diego's Croc School of
Peace Studies from a master's in peace and justice. My focus is specifically on ADA and senior and
patient rights. Back in June, I went to your San Diego County Park and because I don't drive due to
stroke I had 21 years ago, my eyesight, my mobility is very limited. Your rules state that
a person can only be dropped off and picked up three quarters of a mile from the nearest
public stop. This still left me with over a mile to walk uphill where there was no sidewalk while
I'm carrying stuff for a picnic. That was quite a trek. Being that this is funded by the people's
taxes. I'm not saying it necessarily collects federal taxes and what you would have to apply
to section 504 ADA law supply because that is a county public facility. I understand that you need
to put that limit on there but there are exceptions to every rule. Unfortunately for you, you
don't necessarily see that. And I don't know how exactly you check on things like this.
If maybe you kind of put a blind eye on and do it yourself and see what it is like for
a person that has to deal with this. It's hard enough to be humble and realize what
limits are but when other people are still putting those barriers up it's
extremely hard, extremely difficult and it can you've got enough things there
some people might blow a lid. I'm not like that I don't want to be like that
but I don't think it's fair for other people, let alone myself, be going through
that when you're living in the county you pay your taxes and you give to this
it would be nice if you could give back and use those facilities. Thank you very
much. Thank you for being here and I know our CEO mentioned that we can have
one of our staff talk to you and I see somebody nodding in the back. If you
wanted to chat with them you're welcome to. Yes thank you so much for coming. Okay
and is that all for our public comments? Okay great. At this time public
registration to provide general public comment will end and we're going to go
ahead and move on. I have a couple of our quick protocol items to remind everyone
of I will ask board members to please hold your comments and questions until
after each agenda item has been presented. When the time comes for board
member questions or comments please raise your hand and wait until you're
called upon to speak. Please turn on and speak into your microphone when it is
your turn to speak that way we know that your comments are being heard for those
that are listening online and then when it's time to vote we're going to call a
verbal vote. So the first section is the approval of the minutes we have two sets
of minutes to approve. Do I have a motion to approve the minutes for the regular
the board meeting of June 18th, 2020.
Kontreras moves.
Second.
Okay, motion by Contreras, seconded by O'Hara.
If we could please call the vote.
All in favor say aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Any opposed?
Any abstain?
On the motion of board member Contreras,

to approve the minutes for the regular board meeting
on June 18th, 2026, motion passes.
So we do have a motion to
approve those.
Motion to approve.
Motion by O'Hara, seconded by
our vice chair.

board member O'Hara seconded by vice chair Sonella to approve the minutes for the regular
board meeting on July 16th, 2026 motion passes board members Garcia, Edson and Lee absent.
Thank you.
Moving right along to consent there are 15 items on our consent agenda for action today.
Do we have any members of the public register to speak on consent or requested that any
of them be pulled?
No, we do not.
Okay, great.
At this time we are ending the public registration to speak on consent items.

items 1 through 15.
motion passes.
board members garcia edson and
lee absent.
All right thank you. I know we're now moving on to an informational and other
business items. Staff will now give a presentation regarding the Escondido
subdivision signal modernization project. This project intends to replace obsolete
equipment with more current signal technology on the Escondido subdivision
with the purpose of extending the useful life of the Sprinter corridors crossing
systems. Following the presentation the board will be asked to approve two
procurement items related to the Escondido subdivision signal modernization
project Tracy Foster our chief development officer will present this
item and Tracy if you wouldn't mind introducing your colleague there and we
will give the floor to you all. Wondering thank you. The Escondido subdivision if
you haven't heard that terminology before that is our rail corridor that
runs from Oceanside to Escondido and it is what our sprinter operations runs
long. Okay, before we talk about the project, just a little bit about our
signal system in general and what the signal system does. The signal system
continuously detects our train occupancy and the movement along the rail corridor.
It also determines which train movements are safe and permissible and controls
the field equipment along the right-of-way such as switches and wayside
signals. What we all might be most familiar with is the rail grade
crossings and the highway crossings and the activated warning systems for that
that protects our motorists and cyclists and pedestrians. And then finally it also
provides real-time status information to our rail operations personnel that
allows them to safely manage our train movements throughout the corridor. So why
is this project needed? You may recall Sprinter went into service in 2008 so
the signal infrastructure has been in service since that time and is in many
cases reaching or has exceeded its useful life. With that much of the
equipment becomes obsolete or difficult to obtain these parts which makes it
very difficult to maintain. This project will also create a standardized process
platform rather for our rail operations. A major component is replacing the legacy
copper communications with modern fiber optic infrastructure and we've talked a
lot about in the past about the potentials along our sprinter corridor
and the service potentials and so this sets us up perfectly so that it
supports our future expansive expansion for positive train control and other
double tracking and infrastructure improvements. So this project started
back in 2023, when the board authorized task order 19 to Pacific Railway Enterprises, which
is our signal engineer of record. The original design task order was to do the design for
the replacement of the obsolete equipment and to accommodate for the future improvements.
In 2025, we did our first amendment, which was within the control of and delegated under
board policy to our CEO authority, and added in temporary interfaces at two locations.
So that would allow for a phased implementation for the signal improvements, and would maintain
compatibility between the existing infrastructure and the new infrastructure.
Before you today, as agenda item number 17 is amendment number two, this
amendment proposes additional design services and takes into consideration a
future replacement of our Sprinter vehicles, also takes into consideration
consideration and would call for various design drawings that are specific to NCTD's requirements
using BNSF as the base drawings, aspect charts, and other construction drawings.
Moving on to construction, so the project itself is phased in 10 phases, and you'll
all of the various mile posts. If you're not familiar with the mile posts, we put
in the cities to which those mile posts reside. Before you, under agenda item
number 18 is phases 1 through 3 with an award of the construction contract for
that. Phases 1 and 2 are fully funded and would anticipate completion by the end
of next year. Phase 3 is only partially funded, but if funding is received we
would anticipate completion of that by May 2028. This project may have, from a
construction perspective, a few service impacts as we have to cut over and do
testing of new systems, but we will do everything in our power to minimize any
operational impacts. So we've made a lot of great progress with the project
funding for this work by the Congressman Levin supported community
project funding request. We also, through a partnership with a developer doing
work here in Oceanside, received a grant from the Affordable Housing and
and sustainable communities.
Unfortunately, we still have a lot of unfunded needs
for the remainder of this project.
It should be noted that the project funding itself
is not only for the construction work,
but we also have design support during the construction,
flagging, communications, tie-in,
and of course, staff labor.
But Mary and Tyler are all over it
have submitted a couple of grants for us, the first being the transit and intercity
rail capital program. We anticipate that to be hearing back on that one this month,
so fingers crossed on that one, and then also the consolidated rail infrastructure and safety
improvements. We should hear back on that one by the end of this year. So we are hopeful that the
The remaining funding needs that we have will be fulfilled under one or two of these grant
applications.
And so while this is an informational item, it leads into our other business items, number
17 and 18.
And staff recommendation under item number 17 is to authorize amendment number two to
to task order agreement number 19,
under agreement number 17000,
with Pacific Railway Enterprises
for additional design services
in support of the Escondido Subdivision
signal replacement project
in amount not to exceed $446,669,
and increasing the total not to exceed amount
for the task order agreement number 19
to $1,878,103.
a staff recommendation for other business item number 18
is to authorize the award of agreement number 27011
to Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc.
for the Escondido Subdivision Signal Modernization Project,
base bid packages one and two in amount not to exceed
12,878,000 and further authorize the chief executive officer
to exercise the bid option package.
number three in amount not to exceed three million six hundred and thirty
thousand should funding be secured and that concludes our presentation and we
are available for any questions you might have thank you thank you both for
the presentation and since 16 17 and 18 are related we will be taking public
comment for all three items so I'll go ahead and look to see if we have any
public comments for these items? No we do not. Okay at this time public
registration to speak on this item will end. Are there any board member questions
or comments regarding this agenda item? Okay so it seems like one sure so
board member O'Hara and then I'll go to board member Contreras. It's task order
agreement number 19 under agreement number 17000 with Pacific Railway
Enterprises oh I'm sorry it's for four hundred and forty six thousand six
hundred and sixty nine dollars and that is the total amount of all of the task
orders sure board member Contreras yes thank you so much for this information
and update. I have a question. I noticed that VISTA is in the phase four, and it doesn't
seem like there's any funding at this point. I'm just curious, just looking at the long
term, obviously, I've been pushing really hard for the grade separation at VISTA Village.
And so I'm wondering if part of the grade separation grant in the future that we may
go for could also include some of the updates and modifications needed or if
the corridor itself is just too long on the stretch that we need to update and
modernize is too long to be able to fit it in there but I just kind of wanted to
flag that and see if there is a potential and maybe there's a way to
break up phase four maybe into phase 4a and 4b and so I just wanted to flag
that because, you know, I'm working really hard to try and get 600 million to a
billion dollars to be able to do this grade separation and make sure our first
responders can access that corridor very easily as they are not able to at this
time and our buses continue to get stuck there. So does anybody have an answer? I
know it's kind of like a long question. I would say that any design work that we
have for the grade separation is going to incorporate any additional signal
work specific to those improvements as well.
Okay, so potentially. Okay.
Yeah, I would say there's a political aspect to it as well
in terms of where that money comes from and who resides in those districts.
If you look at the corridor we've worked from Oceanside in and Escondido
in and that's directly related to working with
different elected officials at the federal level to try to find money as we
we make our way toward the middle.
And what we didn't want to do was start at one place
and try to work our way all the way through.
We had a unique opportunity through Lavin's office
to get some funding for this area here and then some,
a little bit through ISIS district
to be able to fund through there.
So that's definitely part of it.
But to your question, then I think Tracy summed up perfectly,
I think that's our goal.
Anything that we would do in that zone
outside of signalization,
we would want to try to incorporate
into whatever the long-term plan is.
Fantastic.
And then I just have another point.
And that is, obviously we need to modernize these corridors
and eventually we wanna double track
and we wanna have the ability to have passenger and freight
maybe moving at the same time, redo our stations
so that we don't have this boutique locomotive
that continues to experience extreme challenges.
But at the end of the day,
I just don't see fast enough where we're going to replace the Sprinter vehicle.
I mean, we had excessive heat, and it's down to once an hour right now.
And so many people rely on it.
So I know that we have to move forward with this modernization,
but to have more trains actually realized and meet the modernization goal,
I just wanna flag it that the Sprinter
is not cutting it right now.
So as you all know, I mean, it's not a surprise,
but as the climate crisis continues,
we will continue to see more and more days
where it's excessively hot.
And this is like such a big backbone for NCTD.
So I'm just concerned about what the future looks like
for a Sprinter corridor.
Yeah, I totally agree with you.
One thing that I think we've seen nationwide,
And I can only speak to when I was in Texas,
when we had older equipment on our commuter rail
that really couldn't make it through 110 degree day.
I mean, it really struggled.
And when we switched over to a newer Stadler platform
that had a little bit of a different makeup on a DMU,
we rarely had issues once we switched over
to that type of a unit.
I think we're in the same kind of situation here.
We have a 15-year vehicle
that was already a 30-year vehicle by the time we bought it.
So it really wasn't geared
for the changes in climate that we're experiencing
here in San Diego County.
And so for us, the new vehicle will help out with that a lot.
I think the biggest impact to us will be
when we have new leadership in Sacramento
and if they allow us to manage zero emission differently.
If we were able to buy newer DMU vehicles
that were very efficient on the environmental side,
we could probably incorporate those
into the system pretty quick.
The piece that slows us down a little bit
is the zero emission.
And then when you have that zero emission technology,
some of the bridges can't hold the weight
for some of the technology that's on there,
some of the equipment that's on there.
If we could figure that part out then the next year,
I think we have a really good shot at obtaining
at least enough money to get in line
for the vehicles to be built
while we're working to solve the double tracking
and some of the other issues along the corridor.
Okay, yeah, that's, thank you for flagging that.
and do we anticipate that we'll have a board meeting
just reviewing where we're at?
Yeah, absolutely.
I think right now we're in a little bit of a lull
in Sacramento just because I think we're closing in
on midterms, we know we're gonna get a new governor.
I think there's a little bit of a holding pattern
on where we sort of exist in that realm.
I know we've been working hard with CalSTA
and a few other agencies about what that looks like
both on the coaster corridor and in the Sprinter corridor.
You know, it's important to us on both corridors
because whatever vehicle we buy for Sprinter,
we want it to have interchangeability along the coaster
so we can run smaller trains
when we don't need the large trains out there.
That's always been a part of our service plan.
Yeah, and that gets me really excited, you know,
and I just would love to sooner rather than later
get the board clued in on what's gonna happen
and have those public discussions
because what I'm hearing is that, you know,
we're doing all this modernization
because we know that our goal is to get
to like those 15 minute headways, right?
or at least 20 minutes.
But the locomotives that we have right now are just,
they're failing.
And so hearing that maybe there's a patch,
kind of a fix to a long-term problem, right,
of going to zero emission
where we just don't have that technology,
being for the board to be able and the public
to be able to look at what this idea for a patch will.
So, I appreciate it.
Part of our issue today was two-fold.
We had some issues with signaling,
which was created by some of the heat,
which also led to some of the issues with the vehicles.
I would say that MTS had similar issues
on older trolley fleets
until they were able to replace their current fleet
that they have out there.
They seem to do a little better when it's incredibly hot.
I got to give Tracy and her team a lot of credit
because the plan that they put together
was really like, let's attack the infrastructure
so that when a decision is made
on what we can do with the vehicle,
we can immediately jump into grabbing the vehicle.
I always think sometimes agencies do it a little backwards.
They wanna buy the vehicle first
and then they can't operate the vehicle
because they don't have the money
to manage the infrastructure.
I think our team has taken
a totally different approach to it
that if we get the infrastructure ready
for whatever it is that we wanna buy,
then when we buy that equipment,
we are just essentially testing that on the track.
It's ready to go.
Yeah, it's like plug and play.
So we're doing testing phase on the vehicle,
and then once that gets approved by FRA and CPUC,
we're just we're in the move.
We don't have to worry about new signalization.
We don't have to worry about all those things.
And that's really a credit to the engineering team
and Justin and Tracy who have done a great job of it.
Fantastic.
Thank you so much.
And I'll just offer this last thing.
Then in that case, I think maybe with the board potential agenda
discussion or informational item in the future,
could be excessive heat and our fleet and how we are tackling those issues
because I would love to give credit where credit is due for the foresight and
the planning from our staff and just so that everybody is in the know of what
we're doing because I think that's excellent thank you so much. Thank you
anyone else? Board member Joyce. Just quickly so you were you're saying that
you're pulling up some of the wiring and replacing it with new wiring are all
All those systems able to communicate,
are you having to run like two systems at the same time
so that they can still work?
Do you want to answer that one?
It seems really complicated.
Yeah.
No, and that's why we have amendment one.
Amendment one is pretty much we tested and built
an interface that connects to the user.
So once we do the first cut over,
we're going to have a temporary signal house.
That's going to be pretty much the bridge talking
to the old and the new.
And then as we do that, and that's
we're going to be able to piece this out and do section by section. Otherwise, we
would have to replace everything all at once, which is not feasible.
Thank you. I was just curious if that made sense, and then the second
side is you mentioned that this is really setting us up for the future. Can
you just expand a little bit on how that's working? We're not
going to have to, we're doing double tracking, right? It's going to impact
this in some ways but we're thinking ahead and how we're doing this so that
it's not we're not having to redo these things. So one of the biggest pieces is
we operate right now on the temporal separation right where the sprinters
can't run at the same time that the freight is running. So having the PTC in
place to allow for the vehicles to operate all at the same time will be
beneficial to to the operations so that we don't have that separation it'll
help us to expand service too because right now the shared use agreement that
we have with BNSF states that we have to essentially stop operation about 930
on the weekdays we have they don't pick up all the time out at vital goal but
their schedule is not super tied down to a day so if we'd know we have events at
that at Frontwave, we do work with BNSF to try to run
essentially a Sprinter version of a 699 for an event train.
And that seems to have worked out pretty well,
but we could essentially, if we had PTC in a vehicle
that met FRA standards,
and we could run, not in temporal separation,
we could run Sprinter until almost probably midnight.
I mean, that would be the one service, I think,
where complimentary to our bus service,
we would want to run till 1130 or midnight.
You know, Coasters, Coaster,
we get that last run out of Gaslamp
after a Padres game or something like that, you know,
and then we run special when we have special events.
But the draw on Sprinter is it is very much
like our bus service where it's essential workers
that are trying to get back and forth.
So I think we miss a huge chunk
of a ridership opportunity,
at least from five to midnight,
because the five to nine riders are either people
that are coming home from first shift
or they're coming home from school activities.
The second shift workers are not able to use the Sprinter
as a dual trip, or at all,
because they don't have the opportunity to get home
after 930 and that's been a little bit of an issue for us.
And so that requires the PTC and we still have
to change the trains out too.
Yeah, so the trains are,
and I wanna be careful how I say this
so we don't get anybody all riled up.
They're not crash-worthy by FRA standards.
And what that means is, is they're not worthy to run
in a section of track with another train.
They are perfectly safe.
Please feel free to ride.
I ride all the time, please ride with me.
Yeah, but that's part of, you know,
when we bought that vehicle,
I think we knew that was gonna be an issue down line.
And, you know, I certainly don't lay any blame on them.
My good friend, Karen King, who was here when that happened,
was given a very specific amount of money
and she did the very best that she could with it.
and so I'm always very thankful for the work that she did.
But that's a big piece for us.
Once we can, we really need fiber out there
and really some wireless at our signal houses.
Once we get that switched out
and we have the ability to put in PTC software
along the line, it gets us ready
for whatever vehicle we buy that is FRA worthy
will already have all of that component built into it.
Anybody else?
Okay.
Oh, board member O'Hara.
I don't know, I'm just curious, we reinstall the fiber optics.
Do we keep any of the old, like the copper in place as like a, if it hits the fan?
And we need to go backwards, just got to curiosity.
Yeah, we're doing our best with the design to use whatever we existing, how do I say it?
We're getting on, we're replacing all the fiber, copper with the fiber.
But if there's some locations with it, I think Justin,
It would probably know a little more.
But yeah, this is going to be self-standing.
And if we could use any existing,
just to save on cost, if we were.
Hello.
Yeah, I would just say I think the team kind of underscored
how complex.
I like the questions about the complexity of this.
It is pretty complex in signaling terms.
So to answer that question, unfortunately, we're
basically taking a dial-up phone and getting to voice-over IP.
So in the event that the fiber goes south,
we can't really go back to the dial-up.
Different protocols, different equipment structures.
So it's a little bit more challenging than that, so.
I was just curious.
I appreciate it.
I guess it was a question of curiosity.
Hey, that's why I put 72-strand fiber in,
so we have plenty of spares.
Got it.
I hope everyone knows what dial-up is.
rotary phones?
I know.
I was sitting there thinking, OK, interesting.
interesting analogy. I mean all of us do, thankfully. Yeah. I think it's a mode on
my phone. It's one of the ring options, right? I have just a couple things and
then, you know, we can move on. Thank you. For the pending discretionary grant that
was mentioned, are you able to share which one it is? And if so, I was just
curious if there's anything I know you all ask us for support and letters of
support and everything but I you know how I am I'm always like is there any
other opportunity for us to advocate as board members or anything so if there is
anything else that we can do obviously we've all hopefully sent in our letters
but is there anything else that can help with that sure yes so we have two
pending discretionary grants related to the signal infrastructure on this
Candida subdivision. For both of those grants they're both we already submitted
everything including letters of support from all the jurisdictions. I think most
of your cities provided letters of support we have pretty good partnerships
there so appreciate that from everyone. At this point I don't know that there's
too much more advocacy that we can do. Okay it's just the waiting game. Waiting
for those final approvals. Okay yeah I know waiting is so fun. Yes. Okay and then
And I don't have any other questions,
but I just wanted to say that I know the entire team works
really hard on those grant applications.
And grant applications are, I'm sure if any of you
have done them, very difficult. And for the team
to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars for the agency
is phenomenal.
So I just wanted to say kudos for all the work that goes on,
because grants are no fun to write
from personal experience.
And I just want to say thank you for all the work
that you all are doing because that helps us immensely.
And it sounds like there's been a lot of work done
in terms of the modernization.
So thank you, Mr. Singh and Ms. Foster,
for all the work that's being done to just modernize
our system.
And thank you all.
And now I'm going to look for a motion for all of these.
Second.
OK, motion by Joyce, seconded by Contreras.
Could we please call the vote?
all in favor say aye aye opposed any abstain on the motion of board member
Joyce seconded by board member Contreras to approve other business items 17 and
18 motion passes board members Garcia Edson and Lee absent okay thank you we
will now go into closed session will miss Winfrey our deputy CEO and chief
that we have a motion to approve. And that is a motion to approve general counsel take us into closed session. Yes, so we do have one item for closed session pursuant to government code section 5 4 9 5 6.9 subsection D 2 conference with legal counsel anticipated litigation one case. All right, miss one for you could you please bring us back from closed session. Yes, so the board has returned from closed session and there is no reportable action. Thank you.
anything to report? Just very briefly, Madam Chairman of the board, as you saw in the email,
we did get money for East Brook to Shell double tracking, and you know surreal improvements,
which you heard a little bit about today, or did not hear about today, but sort of compliments
what we talked about on the Escondido corridor, Escondido subdivision, San Diego double tracking
project is out for bid. SANDAG should be hearing back on that shortly, and we got an extension on
federal funding through the government until December-ish.
I think they're waiting to see what happens in midterms.
And then fortunately, we have people.
I'm on the executive legislative committee
at our national association.
So we kind of get a front row seat
to what the strategy is on some of that stuff.
So we'll be talking mainly about rail.
Rail got decimated pretty hard in this last funding go round.
And it pretty much originally was
supposed to be zero funding.
And hopefully the best they were going
take Amtrak money to support that from another area but they opted not to do
that so it's about 80% right now we're gonna try to get that restored but that's
pretty much it unless anybody has any questions for me. Great thank you. Thanks
for the report. Board members have anything to report out? Board member O'Hara?
I just wanted to express the excitement of NCS and our acquisition of 33.6
million FRA grant and I wanted to extend thanks to the staff at NCTD for giving
advice and taking a look at the grant applications and helping us with those
up to the best we could. It was incredibly amazing to see the
collaboration between the organizations, both the organization, CPUC, FRA, and all
that who got involved. So just humongous thank you to Sean, you and your staff.
So we are coming up with a
long-term mandate, but that's
what we have.
Thank you.
Thank you, anybody else?
Seeing none, we'll move on to
any remaining public comments.
Do we happen to have any?
No, we do not.
At this time, public
registration to speak on
remaining public
communications will end.

meeting Tuesday, October 13th
