The fact of the matter is, the district did not come to the table to take care of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bryant said the unions want Crunican directly involved in the negotiations because \"the other people at the table do not have the authority to get the deal done.

First, despite BART saying more than six hours ago that it was about to present a new offer to the unions, that offer has not yet been presented. Reporter Alex Emslie has been staking out the talks all evening for KQED, and said BART spokesman Jim Allison acknowledged the agency hadn't presented the offer after the earlier announcement. He suggested it was because state and federal mediators control the negotiation agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What everyone wants to know is will the trains be running in the morning. We still don't have a certain answer on that with just half an hour to go before Gov. Jerry Brown's 60-day cooling-off periood, called in August to give BART and the unions time to sort all this out, expires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, KRON4 reports that a court in San Francisco has freed \u003ca href=\"http://news.kron4.com/news/naked-bart-acrobat-freed/\" target=\"_blank\">the infamous naked 16th Street BART gymnast\u003c/a>. Yeiner Perez was arrested at the station in May after a frightening escapade during which he physically accosted several passengers, threatened others, and did an extended impromptu acrobatic routine. Unions publicized a video of the incident (\u003ca href=\"http://bcove.me/pm6udzd6\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>) to highlight their contention that BART management has not paid enough attention to their safety concerns in contract talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 5:15 p.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> Mercury News reporter Mike Rosenberg reports that \"as of 5 p.m., negotiations were continuing, but no deal had been reached and the unions had not announced whether they would strike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART negotiators were preparing to submit a new offer Thursday afternoon in hopes of averting a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, Rosenberg tweeted\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>This graph shows how unions' support in polls, already low a week ago, has gotten even lower \u003ca href=\"http://t.co/kEF5JAwyvf\">http://t.co/kEF5JAwyvf\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BARTstrike&src=hash\">#BARTstrike\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Mike Rosenberg (@RosenbergMerc) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RosenbergMerc/statuses/388449470477647872\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The graph is from a new poll by \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/\">SurveyUSA\u003c/a>. It shows that support for the unions has dropped: Fifty-four percent of respondents say that the unions should accept BART management's offer, up from 40 percent on Oct. 4. Sixteen percent say BART should accept the unions' offer, down from 24 percent on Oct. 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 2:30 p.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> With less than 12 hours until another BART strike becomes possible, union representatives appeared at this morning's open BART board meeting in Oakland and repeated charges that the agency has backed away from the terms of a tentative agreement. Union comments also suggest that BART's pay offer — a 10 percent increase over four years, at the same time workers make new pension contributions and increase what they pay for medical benefits — is still a huge stumbling block.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Emslie, reporting for KQED from the meeting, says union members called on the board to send General Manager Grace Crunican into the talks as time has grown too short to conduct the back-and-forth through state and federal mediators. But BART spokesperson Alicia Trost said Crunican would enter the talks only when negotiators were \"inches away\" from an agreement, and that hasn't happened yet. The two sides resumed negotiations at Caltrans District 4 headquarters in Oakland at 1:30 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BART board unanimously approved a plan to spend up to $400,000 a day on replacement bus service if workers go out on strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the meeting comments live-tweeted by reporters at this morning's session:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>\"Please fix this train wreck of a negotiation\" BART worker to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BART&src=hash\">#BART\u003c/a> Board \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CBSSF\">@CBSSF\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Anne Makovec (@AnneMakovec) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AnneMakovec/statuses/388337743375253504\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>\"Framework for settlement all of a sudden dismantled\" - union leader says at \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BART&src=hash\">#BART\u003c/a> meeting \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BARTstrike&src=hash\">#BARTstrike\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BARTtalks&src=hash\">#BARTtalks\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Matthias Gafni (@mgafni) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/mgafni/statuses/388342376655122432\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>.\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/seiu1021\">@seiu1021\u003c/a> told \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Bart&src=hash\">#Bart\u003c/a> board- management's 10% wage increase offer is actually .67% decrease w/medical and retirement benefit cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Matt Keller (@MattKellerABC7) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MattKellerABC7/statuses/388342354190426113\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BART&src=hash\">#BART\u003c/a> unions want board to order GM Grace Crunican to bargaining table. \"There's only 15 hours left.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Michael Cabanatuan (@ctuan) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ctuan/statuses/388341576272838656\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BART&src=hash\">#BART\u003c/a> unions haven't issued any strike notice.

Unions have not issued a notice that they intend to strike now, but that notice is optional. Several major issues reportedly remain unresolved in the talks, including pay, health care benefits, and what union members will pay into their pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=24bc05c5-0e2a-485e-bd13-c8ba92d2975e\" target=\"_blank\">new SurveyUSA poll\u003c/a> for San Francisco's KPIX-Channel 5 suggests the public wants the BART standoff resolved once and for all. The survey of 800 adults, conducted Wednesday, shows that 60 percent strongly oppose a strike while 12 percent strongly support one. Fifty-three percent of respondents said they agreed state law should be changed to ban future strikes while 38 percent said the law should stay as it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nBefore Wednesday night's dispute, union officials had expressed confidence that a new contract was within reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're less than $30 million apart,\" said Chris Finn, part of the negotiating team for ATU Local 1555. \"And with a $127 million surplus one year, and they have that surplus, at least, every year for the next 10 years, it's well within their power to resolve this and settle this immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KTVU, BART General Manager Grace Crunican said that surplus is to cover the agency's bond debt payments and capital expenses like replacing its aging fleet of train cars and improving infrastructure. \"They would like that money not to go into capital improvement but instead go into the pockets of the unions,\" Crunican said. \"And we need to find a fair way to provide compensation for our folks, but not investing in our capital and not paying our debt are not good choices.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's video of Crunican's interview with KTVU's Tom Vacar:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject id=\"flashObj\" width=\"615\" height=\"392\" classid=\"d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\">\u003cparam name=\"flashVars\" value=\"videoId=2733277802001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktvu.com%2Fvideos%2Fnews%2Fbart-ktvu-speaks-to-barts-general-manager-about%2FvCFSDx%2F&playerID=836564367001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAVzySoEk~,39KWv4t6IXBhr9fjdqt8jJhoVTxYZojR&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\">\u003cparam name=\"base\" value=\"http://admin.brightcove.com\">\u003cparam name=\"seamlesstabbing\" value=\"false\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"swLiveConnect\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"src\" value=\"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1\">\u003cparam name=\"flashvars\" value=\"videoId=2733277802001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktvu.com%2Fvideos%2Fnews%2Fbart-ktvu-speaks-to-barts-general-manager-about%2FvCFSDx%2F&playerID=836564367001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAVzySoEk~,39KWv4t6IXBhr9fjdqt8jJhoVTxYZojR&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\">\u003cparam name=\"pluginspage\" value=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\">\u003cparam name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"swliveconnect\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cembed id=\"flashObj\" width=\"615\" height=\"392\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1\" flashvars=\"videoId=2733277802001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktvu.com%2Fvideos%2Fnews%2Fbart-ktvu-speaks-to-barts-general-manager-about%2FvCFSDx%2F&playerID=836564367001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAVzySoEk~,39KWv4t6IXBhr9fjdqt8jJhoVTxYZojR&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\" base=\"http://admin.brightcove.com\" seamlesstabbing=\"false\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3:45 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> Negotiations continue at Caltrans District 4 headquarters in Oakland. San Francisco Chronicle transportation reporter Michael Cabanatuan told KQED that reporters monitoring the talks say it's a little hard to tell exactly where the talks are between BART and union negotiators at this point: \"There's a media blackout. They've all agreed voluntarily that they won't talk to the media about what's going on at the table, but they all indicate that there's some progress being made, perhaps slow progress but progress nonetheless. The mood does seem a little different. It doesn't seem quite as somber or quite as angry, and that's a good indication.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Andrew Stelzer reports that Bay Area business leaders are calling on employers to be prepared and be flexible in case talks break down. “We are prepared to tell our members…to change work schedules, to use flex time, to encourage carpools, to encourage work from home,\" said Jim Lazarus of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. \"Because we have to reduce travel on all the roads of the region if we're going to not suffer just an economically damaging level of gridlock.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5:30 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Officials for BART's two biggest unions just announced that they will not issue a 72-hour strike notice tonight and that talks with transit agency officials are continuing through state and federal mediators. Officials for the BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 said they were holding off issuing a strike notice to preserve every option as a court-imposed cooling-off period gets set to expire later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury-News offers some context on past strike notices and on where the negotiations are now:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The unions issued strike notices three days prior to a work stoppage in July and before a pending strike in August that was later averted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcements are not required, however, and unions left the door open for a possible walkout if a deal is not reached by Thursday night's deadline. The strike notice is meant only as a courtesy so the 200,000 people who ride BART roundtrip each day could start looking for back-up plans to get around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going into negotiations on Monday, BART said it was about $89 million apart from the unions over four years, but the labor groups have pegged the gap at $30 million over three years. Progress was reported last week, however, when both sides swapped a series of counterproposals after months where both sides barely blinked. Using BART's math, they bridged the gap by about $23 million last week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong> The 60-day cooling-off period in the BART labor standoff is set to expire late Thursday night, and new poll numbers show that Bay Area residents remain very unhappy with the prospect of a transit strike. With negotiations continuing, there are new signs that the two sides may finally be closing the gap in the contract positions they've staked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main issues still to be resolved center on pay, pensions, and medical benefits. The difference between the two sides is \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bart/ci_24256589/bart-strike-looms-experts-see-hope-sides-get\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly\u003c/a> down to a total of $89 million over the life of the new proposed contract. Talks continue today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One sign that the hardline positions in the standoff may be softening is that BART has apparently dropped plans to have supervisors run limited train service during a work stoppage. In \u003ca href=\"http://bart.gov/news/articles/2013/news20131004.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">its latest update\u003c/a> on strike planning, the agency says in the event of a strike, it's planning to run limited bus service from nine East Bay stations to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=55c32c55-017e-4bb6-8368-dfb10855c62b\" target=\"_blank\">a poll conducted Friday\u003c/a> for San Francisco's KPIX, SurveyUSA found that two-thirds of Bay Area residents say they're following the BART negotiations. The survey found that overall, 39 percent of respondents feel that BART management has made a better argument during the dispute, compared to 25 percent who think the unions have made a better case. The poll also found that 40 percent of respondents think unions should accept management's proposals, while 24 percent think BART should settle on the unions' terms. Here's a summary of two sides' most recently reported positions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The unions — chiefly the BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 — are seeking a pay increase of about 12 percent over three years. That compares to their opening position of 23 percent over four years. BART has offered 10 percent over four years.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unions have proposed additional small pay increases if BART ridership increases faster than the agency forecasts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On pensions, BART has sought to get the unions to agree to begin pension contributions at 1 percent of salary a year escalating to 4 percent by the last year of a four-year contract. Last week, the two agreed to a \"cost-neutral swap\" under which BART would pay workers 72 cents for every dollar the workers put into their pension funds. It's still unclear how the pension contributions and swap payments will figure into an overall settlement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unions say they'll agree to a 15 percent increase in health-care contributions for all BART workers. Currently, union members pay $92 a month for medical coverage, even if family members are included. BART has proposed continuing flat-rate payments for individual members and limiting payments for family coverage to the least expensive of either a Kaiser or Blue Shield plan.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For more on the negotiations, reporter Mina Kim spoke with Paul Roose, a mediator based in Oakland who oversaw BART negotiations in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F114470510\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

First, despite BART saying more than six hours ago that it was about to present a new offer to the unions, that offer has not yet been presented. Reporter Alex Emslie has been staking out the talks all evening for KQED, and said BART spokesman Jim Allison acknowledged the agency hadn't presented the offer after the earlier announcement. He suggested it was because state and federal mediators control the negotiation agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What everyone wants to know is will the trains be running in the morning. We still don't have a certain answer on that with just half an hour to go before Gov.

Yeiner Perez was arrested at the station in May after a frightening escapade during which he physically accosted several passengers, threatened others, and did an extended impromptu acrobatic routine. Unions publicized a video of the incident (\u003ca href=\"http://bcove.me/pm6udzd6\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>) to highlight their contention that BART management has not paid enough attention to their safety concerns in contract talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 5:15 p.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> Mercury News reporter Mike Rosenberg reports that \"as of 5 p.m., negotiations were continuing, but no deal had been reached and the unions had not announced whether they would strike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART negotiators were preparing to submit a new offer Thursday afternoon in hopes of averting a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, Rosenberg tweeted\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>This graph shows how unions' support in polls, already low a week ago, has gotten even lower \u003ca href=\"http://t.co/kEF5JAwyvf\">http://t.co/kEF5JAwyvf\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BARTstrike&src=hash\">#BARTstrike\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Mike Rosenberg (@RosenbergMerc) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RosenbergMerc/statuses/388449470477647872\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The graph is from a new poll by \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/\">SurveyUSA\u003c/a>.

Sixteen percent say BART should accept the unions' offer, down from 24 percent on Oct. 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 2:30 p.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> With less than 12 hours until another BART strike becomes possible, union representatives appeared at this morning's open BART board meeting in Oakland and repeated charges that the agency has backed away from the terms of a tentative agreement. Union comments also suggest that BART's pay offer — a 10 percent increase over four years, at the same time workers make new pension contributions and increase what they pay for medical benefits — is still a huge stumbling block.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Emslie, reporting for KQED from the meeting, says union members called on the board to send General Manager Grace Crunican into the talks as time has grown too short to conduct the back-and-forth through state and federal mediators. But BART spokesperson Alicia Trost said Crunican would enter the talks only when negotiators were \"inches away\" from an agreement, and that hasn't happened yet.

The survey of 800 adults, conducted Wednesday, shows that 60 percent strongly oppose a strike while 12 percent strongly support one.

San Francisco Chronicle transportation reporter Michael Cabanatuan told KQED that reporters monitoring the talks say it's a little hard to tell exactly where the talks are between BART and union negotiators at this point: \"There's a media blackout. They've all agreed voluntarily that they won't talk to the media about what's going on at the table, but they all indicate that there's some progress being made, perhaps slow progress but progress nonetheless. The mood does seem a little different. It doesn't seem quite as somber or quite as angry, and that's a good indication.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Andrew Stelzer reports that Bay Area business leaders are calling on employers to be prepared and be flexible in case talks break down. “We are prepared to tell our members…to change work schedules, to use flex time, to encourage carpools, to encourage work from home,\" said Jim Lazarus of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. \"Because we have to reduce travel on all the roads of the region if we're going to not suffer just an economically damaging level of gridlock.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5:30 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Officials for BART's two biggest unions just announced that they will not issue a 72-hour strike notice tonight and that talks with transit agency officials are continuing through state and federal mediators. Officials for the BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 said they were holding off issuing a strike notice to preserve every option as a court-imposed cooling-off period gets set to expire later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury-News offers some context on past strike notices and on where the negotiations are now:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The unions issued strike notices three days prior to a work stoppage in July and before a pending strike in August that was later averted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcements are not required, however, and unions left the door open for a possible walkout if a deal is not reached by Thursday night's deadline. The strike notice is meant only as a courtesy so the 200,000 people who ride BART roundtrip each day could start looking for back-up plans to get around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going into negotiations on Monday, BART said it was about $89 million apart from the unions over four years, but the labor groups have pegged the gap at $30 million over three years. Progress was reported last week, however, when both sides swapped a series of counterproposals after months where both sides barely blinked. Using BART's math, they bridged the gap by about $23 million last week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong> The 60-day cooling-off period in the BART labor standoff is set to expire late Thursday night, and new poll numbers show that Bay Area residents remain very unhappy with the prospect of a transit strike. With negotiations continuing, there are new signs that the two sides may finally be closing the gap in the contract positions they've staked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main issues still to be resolved center on pay, pensions, and medical benefits. The difference between the two sides is \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bart/ci_24256589/bart-strike-looms-experts-see-hope-sides-get\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly\u003c/a> down to a total of $89 million over the life of the new proposed contract. Talks continue today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One sign that the hardline positions in the standoff may be softening is that BART has apparently dropped plans to have supervisors run limited train service during a work stoppage. In \u003ca href=\"http://bart.gov/news/articles/2013/news20131004.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">its latest update\u003c/a> on strike planning, the agency says in the event of a strike, it's planning to run limited bus service from nine East Bay stations to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=55c32c55-017e-4bb6-8368-dfb10855c62b\" target=\"_blank\">a poll conducted Friday\u003c/a> for San Francisco's KPIX, SurveyUSA found that two-thirds of Bay Area residents say they're following the BART negotiations. The survey found that overall, 39 percent of respondents feel that BART management has made a better argument during the dispute, compared to 25 percent who think the unions have made a better case. The poll also found that 40 percent of respondents think unions should accept management's proposals, while 24 percent think BART should settle on the unions' terms. Here's a summary of two sides' most recently reported positions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The unions — chiefly the BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 — are seeking a pay increase of about 12 percent over three years. That compares to their opening position of 23 percent over four years. BART has offered 10 percent over four years.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unions have proposed additional small pay increases if BART ridership increases faster than the agency forecasts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On pensions, BART has sought to get the unions to agree to begin pension contributions at 1 percent of salary a year escalating to 4 percent by the last year of a four-year contract. Last week, the two agreed to a \"cost-neutral swap\" under which BART would pay workers 72 cents for every dollar the workers put into their pension funds. It's still unclear how the pension contributions and swap payments will figure into an overall settlement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unions say they'll agree to a 15 percent increase in health-care contributions for all BART workers. Currently, union members pay $92 a month for medical coverage, even if family members are included. BART has proposed continuing flat-rate payments for individual members and limiting payments for family coverage to the least expensive of either a Kaiser or Blue Shield plan.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For more on the negotiations, reporter Mina Kim spoke with Paul Roose, a mediator based in Oakland who oversaw BART negotiations in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Craig Miller/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This won’t come as a surprise to Bay Area residents: the region is still growing. By one estimate, the Bay Area will add two million people by 2040, a 30 percent increase over today’s population of about seven million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More people means more housing and more traffic.

Rain pouring into creeks and rivers met ocean water flooding in the opposite direction to put miles of coast under water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same thing could happen here, Mount warned. For example an El Nino year of heavy rain could coincide with a Pineapple Express storm in the winter when tides are at their highest, said Mount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The business community does not register this well because they keep thinking we’re talking in the abstract, that we’re talking about climate change, and somewhere out in the future this is going to be a problem. We’ll deal with it later. No it’s here now. That risk is here today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/-gstw44DeSI?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Could the folks who wired the world really have their heads in the sand? We called Cisco and Google right away to see what they would say, and will update this post as soon as we hear back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Update on Nov. 7, 2012: Cisco responded with an email saying the company has “Incident Management Teams made up of a practiced group of cross-functional representatives that coordinate Cisco’s internal and external response to an incident – in place to respond to issues such as flooding or other natural disasters.” We asked for more specifics about such preparations as moving electrical equipment to the second floor. We have not heard from Google and are reaching out to more of the firms Mount mentioned.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the Forum show, Joe LaClair, chief planner with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, said these companies are not completely ignoring the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have “engaged with us” in regional planning meetings, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>But I think it’s important to note that business leaders operate on a fairly short strategic time horizon. Many focus on the quarter, the year, maybe five years out. So it’s hard to get their attention when you talk about sea level rises that may cause problems in 40 or 50 years. But I think these near-term storm threats are real, they’re hear now, and they fit better into those strategic planning time frames that most businesses deal with.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Bay itself is somewhat sheltered, he added. “In the bay, there can be high storm winds, but they don’t generate the wave height and storm surges of the same height that we just saw in New York.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Potentially worse for the Bay Area are rising tides, Mount said. “What is going to happen to us is not so much these big storms, but increasing intensity and duration of tides. The tides will progressively get higher and higher and higher with time. What we would think of a king tide, which are a really biggest tides, is actually going to be a very common tide within a few decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because water levels are rising as the oceans warm and the ice caps melt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A caller to the show asked how high above current sea level the tides might get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our coastal defenses in the Bay are not as high as they need to be,” Mount said. “Storm surge with wind-driven waves could go as high as the 15 to 16-foot contour here in the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To visualize how much of the Bay Area would go under water as the sea rises to various levels, Mount recommended the \u003ca href=\"http://www.csc.noaa.gov/slr/viewer/#\">\u003cstrong>Sea Level Rise Viewer\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even one foot of sea level rise could put Oakland International Airport underwater, according to this viewer. And \u003ca href=\"http://www.bcdc.ca.gov/planning/climate_change/SLRfactSheet.shtml\">\u003cstrong>BCDC website\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> warns that “the California Climate Action Team’s sea level rise projections, ranging from 10-17 inches at mid-century and 31-69 inches at the end of the century, currently provide the best available sea level rise projections for the West Coast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another caller asked if upgrading building codes would help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building codes get you one building at a time,” LaClair responded. “But because we can’t be sure properties are going to experience a renovation during the time the threat occurs, then we also need to think of our entire shoreline as a system and provide defenses that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another caller reminded listeners to take responsibility for their own safety by keeping food supplies on hand and fuel tanks as full as possible. The San Francisco Office of Emergency Services offers tips on the website \u003ca href=\"http://72hours.org/make_plan.html\">\u003cstrong>72hours.org\u003c/strong>.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an indication of how slowly public and private organizations are moving, Mount pointed to past experience. “We had a big flood back in 1997 in the Central Valley. It’s been 15 years since that, and we haven’t done anything about it except get a plan together. So, these things take decades to respond to; unless there’s a sense of urgency, things don’t get going.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

For example an El Nino year of heavy rain could coincide with a Pineapple Express storm in the winter when tides are at their highest, said Mount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The business community does not register this well because they keep thinking we’re talking in the abstract, that we’re talking about climate change, and somewhere out in the future this is going to be a problem. We’ll deal with it later. No it’s here now. That risk is here today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/-gstw44DeSI?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Could the folks who wired the world really have their heads in the sand? We called Cisco and Google right away to see what they would say, and will update this post as soon as we hear back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Update on Nov. 7, 2012: Cisco responded with an email saying the company has “Incident Management Teams made up of a practiced group of cross-functional representatives that coordinate Cisco’s internal and external response to an incident – in place to respond to issues such as flooding or other natural disasters.” We asked for more specifics about such preparations as moving electrical equipment to the second floor. We have not heard from Google and are reaching out to more of the firms Mount mentioned.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the Forum show, Joe LaClair, chief planner with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, said these companies are not completely ignoring the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have “engaged with us” in regional planning meetings, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>But I think it’s important to note that business leaders operate on a fairly short strategic time horizon. Many focus on the quarter, the year, maybe five years out. So it’s hard to get their attention when you talk about sea level rises that may cause problems in 40 or 50 years. But I think these near-term storm threats are real, they’re hear now, and they fit better into those strategic planning time frames that most businesses deal with.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Bay itself is somewhat sheltered, he added. “In the bay, there can be high storm winds, but they don’t generate the wave height and storm surges of the same height that we just saw in New York.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Potentially worse for the Bay Area are rising tides, Mount said. “What is going to happen to us is not so much these big storms, but increasing intensity and duration of tides. The tides will progressively get higher and higher and higher with time. What we would think of a king tide, which are a really biggest tides, is actually going to be a very common tide within a few decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because water levels are rising as the oceans warm and the ice caps melt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A caller to the show asked how high above current sea level the tides might get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our coastal defenses in the Bay are not as high as they need to be,” Mount said. “Storm surge with wind-driven waves could go as high as the 15 to 16-foot contour here in the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To visualize how much of the Bay Area would go under water as the sea rises to various levels, Mount recommended the \u003ca href=\"http://www.csc.noaa.gov/slr/viewer/#\">\u003cstrong>Sea Level Rise Viewer\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even one foot of sea level rise could put Oakland International Airport underwater, according to this viewer. And \u003ca href=\"http://www.bcdc.ca.gov/planning/climate_change/SLRfactSheet.shtml\">\u003cstrong>BCDC website\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> warns that “the California Climate Action Team’s sea level rise projections, ranging from 10-17 inches at mid-century and 31-69 inches at the end of the century, currently provide the best available sea level rise projections for the West Coast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another caller asked if upgrading building codes would help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building codes get you one building at a time,” LaClair responded. “But because we can’t be sure properties are going to experience a renovation during the time the threat occurs, then we also need to think of our entire shoreline as a system and provide defenses that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another caller reminded listeners to take responsibility for their own safety by keeping food supplies on hand and fuel tanks as full as possible. The San Francisco Office of Emergency Services offers tips on the website \u003ca href=\"http://72hours.org/make_plan.html\">\u003cstrong>72hours.org\u003c/strong>.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an indication of how slowly public and private organizations are moving, Mount pointed to past experience. “We had a big flood back in 1997 in the Central Valley. It’s been 15 years since that, and we haven’t done anything about it except get a plan together. So, these things take decades to respond to; unless there’s a sense of urgency, things don’t get going.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
