            5            MS. HOUSER:  My next item is the facilities 

            6   update.  The remediation work at 450 N Street continues.  

            7   Remediation has been completed on 14 of the 22 floors.  

            8   DGS contemplates completion of the project by mid-March 

            9   of 2011.  

           10            As discussed at previous meetings, we are in 

           11   the process of the relocating 6 to 700 employees into 

           12   three headquarters annex locations in the greater 

           13   Sacramento area.  The Motor Carrier and International 

           14   Fuel Tax Agreement Program was successfully relocated to 

           15   the West Sacramento annex location in May.  

           16            Tenant improvements and moves are on schedule 

           17   for the 621 Capitol Mall annex location.  Last weekend 

           18   we successfully moved Legal's Executive Unit, their 

           19   Investigations Section and the Offers-In-Compromise 

           20   Section and the Internal Affairs, Media and Web Services 

           21   Division.  

           22            By the end of the month we will complete the 

           23   move of the remainder of the staff in the Legal 

           24   Department and the Board Proceedings Division.  We'll 

           25   have approximately 300 staff located at this facility.  

           26            For the third annex location at 160 Promenade, 

           27   tenant improvements are underway, with a tentative move 

           28   date scheduled for December of 2010.   We are expected 




                                                                      3




                                                                       


            1   to have another 3 to 350 employees at this location.  

            2            I'd been happy to answer any questions have on 

            3   the facilities or the annex locations.  

            4            MS. YEE:  Thank you very much, Ms. Houser.

            5            Questions, Members?  Comments?

            6            Let me just make a comment.  I just want to 

            7   applaud you and your staff for really moving so 

            8   diligently on these annex relocations.  

            9            It certainly is going to reduce the stress to 

           10   this building over time.  And I think we have located 

           11   some -- just some very nice work space for our 

           12   employees.  

           13            Thank you.  

           14            MS. HOUSER:  Thank you very much.

           15            We appreciate the Board's support in these 

           16   efforts.
