th want. yellow cab changes on the property. this isrying to separate us, just like the gas and gates from the affiliates and color schemes. i think it iappropriate if ther is a dispute, where some one cannot get satition f the ca company or insurance company. the mt should y be looked into it. but 99% of the claims people hit thcab or the cab hit somebody and they are settled. the othertngs are thprivacy iss requiring security camera data. i do not tnk there is an objection to a case by case basis but this looks like a blanket thing. everything theyo in the cab coul

be viewed byomeone oth than the police othe than related to a crime. lstly you kp talking about coloscheme. he color scheme permit hold is rponsible for the gates being charged. it is appropria that the color scheme beappropriate forthat not the dalln holder. thank you. secretary boomer: [names are called] >> good afternn. very toronto -- barry toronto. gin us two minutes to comment on mething complicated 15 -- a lot of hem makes nse or are impoant,t ey have not been vetteat town

good. so of them are fair and some of them are not fair. most of them are ok. 1113 reires should be going to optional. the credit card machine -- we already have one in the front. we do not need anotheone in the bk. we are chinese. i have a wife and anoth girlfriend. noby makes ce. y'rewhite ma it is a big case f y. pleasei only need one credit card machine it is in e front and the customer has to givthe credit card and letme slide i i doot know what they do, where they take their credit card from. a lot of issues in the town hall

meeting were alrdy mentioned. if you are a mcdonald's franchise, u have to do the sa food. but we are independen all, individual op we have ourwn small restaurant. you haveeat for it -- you have to eat. his is reallyunreonle. thank you. ice cirman brinkman:thk you. let'hope yr fe n fds sfgov tv. > i agree. if you're going to eliminate thboard ofappeals, we want a refund. we want our money ck. theboard of appeals have a -- has a 2-3month time ame. the current officer drags on his case isorever, sometimes as much as t years.

you are still using this hearing officer. your sample is a bad one. i sat on that case originally and that person was an attorney. he could carry it to the higher courts without any higher expense. even so, this person still could not carry it to the higher cots even if they had the means. donot eliminate the board of appeals. it is not right. i would li tospeaitem 15. th singper permits. there is a reqrement thats the same as a full-tim medallion. someonewho attended last week's hall meeting was told th th medallns would be given o by je . way bills will be checked after the fact. after a lengthy discussio-- how long have you been talking about this? two years. why the sh? it is june 5.

in 10days, youright to issue these medallions and then check the weigh bills? i think it is very hard to take something away from someone once they have it in their hands from my experience we nev giv up the medallion. i t as commiioner for seven years. soone will have also purchased the vehicle, iurance, maybe there is another driver on the ift. which brings in the suect of workers'ompensation. what are the requirements r this rmits anhoarthey going akth expen? >> veteran a word i will have to ok up in the dictiary. if you mean more discussion-- vetted is a word i will ha to

look upnthe ctionary. if you mean more scsion, i think weneed a town hall meeting in order toropey vet thi is hk you. i aee that there has en very le te evieal ofhis for it there was le 180 pages ofstuff to review. most of uarworking d doing other there is n enough time f u to go over it. i understand the probleof peopleendlessly appealin peit revocation. i do not thk is righthat we ould not have the righto goto the board of appea cabdrivs should be allowed du process. the oth thing i noticed is there is a requirement in their that prohibits tampering wh

requiredquipment in taxicabs. there shoue exception to the cuent xica meras. as you might be aware, therwas cent a hearg e state sate and ansportion housing committee ere the la as intd to be ged but the committee voted7-1. the cab drivers continue to have e rit to disable turoff ese deces. there is no switch on the curren cameras tturn them f. it is so illegal to record audioas california law states you need eressedse before recording a conversatio a lot of the mpies in san francisco coino record audio in the cabs. putting a sign on windows not ough that isnot expressed consent. you ha asked every passenger when they co in if they mind being corded. if they do not, how eeare ey supposed et to whe eyreoing ou -- >> i dnot have much

say. mainly ecau iid otead any ofhis stuff. [laught] that ki of speaks to it. we wo. i have totake short shifts. normally, i would be working, but i had a short shift to come to this meeting. it isnot parof our full-time job scriion to read this material. there is a lot of . i am noticing that the taxi industry, which is often totally at os,s actually all in agreement that tvote on items 14 and 15 would be too hasty. everybody is saying ey did not have a chance tohoroughly review it. it seedlike t one about the appea seems to be kind of importananthe inry ses

unedn nting more time to look athatit tnk you. >> directors e drivers should have tight to appeal. as a matter of fact, anyone shld ha the right to appeal. about the securitycamera -- any criminal activity that happens the taxicab r any accident should only be reviewed by the law enforcement and t by the cab companies. he cab companies shou not have access to real-time video. if you allow the cab companies to average out the fee, you shouldall the medallion- holders to avege out the fee in favor of them. to solve this matt have the

fee avere evy y whatever the gate fees. directors, dving 23 ars and o the dalia list for 13 years, -on the medallion t for 13 years, your policies are hurting drivers like me. we have been suffering from the medallion pilot program giving singleopor permits to drivers who nevesied up for it. you are bypassing the enti waiting list and giving medallions to those who never ask for it. those who have the medallions already, you should oy issue medallions to qualified drivers 3 it im asking for your help. now, not 15 years from now, ecause i will be retired. i lost e page

ha y very much. >> good aftern cosioners. withn emnumber 15, i want topeak about a tiny portion of that, subpart number5,which autrizes e director to impose a moratoriu the issuance of color sches. most people do not know what color sches are. it is a business license. it allows businesses like yellow cab, desot grentaxio operat usingdallions that are issued by the mta. a an attornewho represen small businesses andusinesses in the immigrant community, i can say tt thisis bad policy that has not bn justified in any way. ye there are public safety reasons. for instance, liming liquor

licenses. thione is simply an anti- competiti policy that i urg u to reconsider. it has created a black market in the isting color schemes. there are transfers taking right now. people who ntne of these lor scheme permits are paying exorbitant amnts of moneyo get them. soit is a disingenuous request from staff to be authorized to place this moratorium because staff has been denying new color schemes for at least the last yea accorngo imony at the boar appeals,hey ha been dying ifothepast two yes. i can providdomention to thffect. as policy proposal, it is very b poli. at the veryleast, i ask u put some sort of a sunset on this.
