9.  Public Comment

James Bryant stated that he has never seen as divisive a situation as what is ahead of us.  Muni has created sacred cows.  He expressed hope that the SFMTA take a close look at the layoffs.

Frank Lara, Answer Coalition, stated that they are opposed to taking money from people who can’t afford it.  Not everyone can be as handsomely rewarded as SFMTA administrators.  People need these jobs to survive and they shouldn’t be used as an ATM.

Adell Scott urged the SFMTA to rescind the layoff notices issued to traffic checkers and do something about Prop. F employees

Dominic Garrett stated that parking control officers (PCO’s) assist the SFMTA and that these cuts haven’t been thought out.  PCO’s bring in the most revenue and they pay for themselves.  The SFMTA will lose $6-7 million in revenue as a result.

Mark Gruberg stated that the industry is waiting for Ms. Hayashi’s final recommendations.  This is a sad story.  The Mayor and the SFMTA Exec. Director promised to protect Prop. K. 

Bebe Pubill stated that the bean counters are creating a problem.  They have lost five PCO’s to the Mayor’s pilot projects.  These five have averaged $75,000 in revenue per week. 

Elias Georgopoulos stated that PCO’s are front line emergency responders. By cutting 24, the SFMTA will be losing over $8 million per year in revenue.  PCO’s pay for themselves. 

Leah Berlanga, SEIU, requested that the Board consider the layoffs.  The cuts are irresponsible.  PCO’s create a lot of money.  These layoffs will wipe out the entire graveyard shift so the agency will be rolling out filthy, unhealthy buses.  They are trying to address the deficit but the SFMTA isn’t sending the decision makers to the table.

Steven Pitocchi, SEIU, requested a 60-day extension to the layoff notices.  These layoffs will have a devastating effect on those being released.  Mr. Pitocchi presented a letter for distribution to the Board. 

Herbert Weiner stated that he is seeing higher bus fares and less service.  Everything is hitting the skids and it is worse than it was four years ago. 

Jim Corrigan stated that disabled placards are being abused.  The Fire Department gets free parking all year.

Lourdes Alarcon expressed concern that by cutting car cleaners, mothers and children will be riding dirtier buses. 

Flor Ramos stated that the cost of the fast pass makes it hard to get to work and single mothers can’t afford to buy them. 

Branton Burke wondered why he has to come to a Board meeting to discuss day to day service issues.  He has been asking staff to address the same problem on the 37 Corbett for over a year and would like to get it fixed.

Andre Spearman discussed service and service delivery.  Workers provide the service every day.  The Board is responsible for the fiscal situation.  They need to have people at the table who can solve the problem.  Staff has made up their mind to lay people off and just pretend that they’re interested.

Bob Planthold stated that there is a problem with the distribution of the passes for the BART-Muni Fast Pass experiment.  Some who are getting the pass didn’t apply.  MAAC members were told they would get a pass even though they didn’t all apply. 

Andre Norman stated that car cleaners are on the front line.  They clean up the public’s filth.  Cutting car cleaners will mean that the public will board a dirty bus.  Cuts should first be made at the top. 

Tariq Mehmood stated that at the Embarcadero Centers taxis are allowed to pick up passengers in the transit lane.  They get a ticket.  He asked where they should pick people up if they can’t do so in the transit lane.

Maria Luz Torre stated that her children take Muni buses to go to school.   They are paying more but riding on a dirty bus.  The lowest paid workers keep buses clean, safe and running on time.  She urged the SFMTA to find a real solution that will keep people employed and safe.

Dennis Lee asked the Board to reconsider saving co-worker’s jobs.  PCO’s stop citing cars when it gets dark in order to stay safe. 

James Elliott stated that car cleaners are understaffed.  Car cleaners provide for everyone’s health and safety and they put themselves at risk to keep riders safe. The job is hard and will get even harder. 

Emile Lawrence stated that he is disgusted with the SFMTA Board.  He has delivered a letter to Police Chief Gascon and the SFMTA about the cost of citations.  They’re in the stratosphere.

Francisco Da Costa stated that layoffs are heartbreaking and there is a way to resolve this if we work together.  The best way is to cut the salaries at the top.

Item 10.2 AA and BB were severed at the request of a member of the public.

PUBLIC COMMENT: 

Barry Taranto stated that establishing a cab stand at these locations would be very helpful given the number of restaurants in the area.  He asked that the items be put these on hold until staff can come back with a plan to install a cab stand.  He also expressed concern about the status of the taxi detail.

Vice Chairman McCray requested an update on the status of cab stands. 

On motion to approve Item 10.2 AA and BB:

ADOPTED:  AYES – Beach, Black, Heinicke, Lee, McCray, Nolan and Oka

RESOLUTION 10-002

(10.3) Authorizing the Executive Director/CEO to provide a 10% local match in the amount of $51,670 for a proposed  FY2010/11 Bicycle Transportation Act grant-funded project totaling $516,700. (Explanatory documents include a staff report and resolution.)  (Sonali Bose)

RESOLUTION 10-003

(10.4) Establishing an SFMTA Board of Directors meeting schedule for 2010.  (Explanatory documents include a staff report and resolution.) (Roberta Boomer)

RESOLUTION 10-004

(10.5) Authorizing the Executive Director/CEO to enter into a five-year transfer discount agreement with the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District to replace the existing transfer discount with a $.50 discount to GGBHTD ferry and transit riders transferring to Muni and a $.50 reciprocal discount for Muni customers transferring to GGBHTD service and to provide these discounts only through TransLink®.  (Explanatory documents include a staff report, resolution and agreement.) (Sonali Bose)

RESOLUTION 10-005

(Explanatory documents include a staff report, resolution and agreement.) (James Dougherty)

RESOLUTION 10-006

On motion to approve the Consent Calendar (Item 10.1 B, C and D removed and continued and 10.2 AA and BB severed):

ADOPTED:  AYES – Beach, Black, Heinicke, Lee, McCray, Nolan and Oka

REGULAR CALENDAR

11.  Approving proposed increase to fines and penalties for various disabled parking violations and amending Transportation Code, Division II, Section 303 to reflect the increased fines and penalties which will take immediate effect. (Explanatory documents include a staff report, resolution, amendments and fact sheet.) (Sonali Bose)

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Bob Planthold stated that this is too small a step and that the Board is being too soft.  This is about the ability of people with disabilities to travel easily and safely.  These fines should be a massive deterrent to people and shouldn’t be used as a revenue source.  He urged the Board to revisit this in six months and expressed concern about increased assaults on PCO’s as a result of the increases.

Barry Taranto stated that this is important legislation.  PCO’s issue tickets to taxicab drivers who assist a disabled person in a blue zone.  The PCO should first ascertain if they are assisting someone with a disability before issuing a ticket.

RESOLUTION 10-007

On motion to approve:

ADOPTED:  AYES – Beach, Black, Heinicke, Lee, McCray, Nolan and Oka

12.

(Roberta Boomer)

No public comment.

RESOLUTION 10-008

On motion to approve:

13. Authorizing the Executive Director/CEO to approve agreements with SFMTA contractors and vendors, under which the contractor or vendor agrees to accept discounted payments from the SFMTA.  (Explanatory documents include a staff report, resolution and list of contractors.) (Sonali Bose)

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Andre Spearman stated that this is an idea that SEIU floated to save money so they are excited that the SFMTA pursued it.  It’s important to discuss creative ideas together so this is not an isolated incident.  The SFMTA has already done a tremendous job with balancing the budget and finding creative solutions but the right people need to be at the table.

RESOLUTION 10-009

On motion to approve:

ADOPTED:  AYES – Beach, Black, Heinicke, Lee, McCray, Nolan and Oka
