OF BUSINESS

Approval of Minutes On motion to approve the minutes of the April 3, 2001 Regular Meeting: unanimously approved. 4. Communications (4.1) Announcement of prohibition of sound producing devices during the meeting. Chairman Flynn announced that the ringing of and use of cell phones, pagers and similar sound-producing electronic devices are prohibited at the meeting. He advised that any person responsible for the ringing or use of a cell phone, pager, or other similar sound-producing electronic devices may be removed from the meeting. 5. Introduction of New or Old Business by Board Members None. 6. Director's Report (For discussion only)
Muni has been asked by the Mayor to work with Supervisor Sophie Maxwell and other department heads to address the health crisis in the Bay View Hunter's Point neighborhoods. In response to a question posed by Director Vaughns, Vernon Crawley will look at the number of cases of national origin as they remained constant between the two quarters. He will get back to the board with his analysis. Chairman Flynn noted that this quarter's EEO report is the best ever produced and commended staff for their hard work. Larry Williams, Deputy G.M., HR/LR/EEO and Michael Haberberger, SEIU briefed the board on Muni's Co-missioning Process. Director Casey asked staff to explain the differences between various initiatives at a future board meeting. 7. Citizen's Advisory Council Report No report was made. 8. Public Comment Frederick Hobson acknowledged that Muni has vastly improved since the arrival of Michael Burns. Mr. Hobson serves on the Animal Welfare Commission and spoke about a resolution unanimously endorsed by the AWC that calls on the Board of Supervisors and the MTA to eliminate charging animals full fares. He pointed out that the fares are infrequently collected and the revenue Muni collects is negligible. Suzanne Martin also asked the board to eliminate full fares for animals as it creates a hardship for seniors. Pat Snyder, representing neighbors on 100 Wawona St., spoke about the disruption that the K-Line shuttle has caused residents in her neighborhood. She feels that buses should be on West Portal. Byron Sigal spoke about the problems with the K-line shuttle in a residential neighborhood. The bus comes every 5 minutes throughout the day and night and the sound permeates the neighborhood. He urged that the line be moved to West Portal, 1 block away. Moses Grossman has been at 1001 Ulloa for 40 years and has been talking to Muni about problems with the 48-Quintara line for years. With the addition of the K-Shuttle, the situation is unbearable. Chairman Flynn stated that the situation merits a response from the General Manager and asked him to report back to the board at the next meeting. The board expects to have a resolution to the K-line shuttle by that time. He urged staff to hold meetings with the public prior to the May 1 board meeting. General Manager Burns thanked the community for expressing their concerns. He became aware of the situation on Monday and made a site visit to the area immediately. He understands the concerns and has identified potential changes. He is working out the details with the community but wants to wait to announce those changes to make sure they don't negatively impact any other community. |
