6. Director's Report (For discussion only)

• Special Recognition Award
  
• K-line Shuttle
  
• Service Standards Quarterly Report
  
• Ongoing Muni Activities

General Manager Burns presented this month's Special Recognition Award to Victor Dunn. Victor is a person who gets things done, especially high priority, confidential and rush projects. He exemplifies quality customer service.

Victor Dunn thanked Mr. Burns and the Board but said that he couldn't be successful unless all employees are diligent in doing their jobs. Chairman Flynn added his personal thanks and expressed appreciation for Mr. Dunn's hard work on behalf of the board.

Mr. Burns announced a solution to the K-line bus shuttle issue raised at the last meeting by Wawona St. Residents. Muni will use the West Portal Business corridor as the turnaround. He thanked the community and Muni staff for their responsiveness.

Mr. Burns invited the Board to attend the Rail Roadeo at Green Division on Saturday, May 5 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. The winners of the local rodeo will compete nationally in Boston in June. Also on Saturday Muni staff will be attending the first of 11 district budget hearings to determine how city government can better meet resident's needs.

The Quarterly Service Standards Report was presented by Lisa Mancini, Chief Operations Officer. She will present next year's standards to the board in June for adoption.
Overall, the statistics show measurable improvements in many areas of performance.

Director Lim asked staff to review with the board how the Service Standards are measured.

7. Citizen's Advisory Council Report

Linton Stables, Chairman, CAC, reported a problem at the CAC of reaching a quorum because the new members of the Board of Supervisors haven't made their appointments. He noted that the CAC is in total agreement that MTC's formula to set San Francisco's funds are inappropriate as Muni is a system that encourages high transit use, high ridership, and contributes to a cleaner environment. The CAC wants to work toward getting a better deal for the whole bay area. Chairman Flynn asked that the board be provided with a list of current CAC members and that a letter be sent to the Board of Supervisors asking for appointees.

8. Public Comment

Phil Snyder thanked the board for the opportunity to address the board. He lives at 198 Wawona and represents the neighbors. He said they got an excellent response to the issues they raised at the last meeting and hopes Muni will re-route the 48 line soon. He thanked Laura Spanjian and Joyce Garay in particular for responding so quickly. (Chairman Flynn stated that the board is happy that Muni was able to resolve the problem and thanked the community and staff for their cooperation and quick response.)

9. All matters listed hereunder constitute a Consent Calendar, are considered to be routine by the Municipal Transportation Agency Board, and will be acted upon by a single vote of the Board. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the Board or the public so requests, in which event the matter shall be removed from the Consent Calendar and considered as a separate item.
