i would like to thank aaron peskin who has a leader on this legislation. under that legislation any company operating shared powered scooters in san francisco must have a permit from the sfmta as of june 4 to have their scooter parked on sidewalks or any public space. that means any scooter company operating is required to mover e it's scooters by june 4. only those issued permits may be able to continue. san francisco supports transportation innovation but it can't come at the price of privacy, accessible, and safetyi permit program strikes the right balance. i would like to introduce ed russ kin to talk m abt the new permit program. >> thank you. i want to thank the city attoy leadership and the great support of his staff as we have been developing the legislation that required the permits the legislation the boa of directors to establish the permit program and their support for us in developing the application itself. as the city's transportation department wre the prospect that these powered scooters could bring. their zero emission and compact and i h

ago i heard of the attempt to repeal the mid market tax credit, read in the newspaper and texted aaron peskin, you are into local control, how come you did not talk to mid market or tenderloin before introducing this. it seems very inconsistent. not even a meeting the supervisors convened with stakeholders. he would not appreciate if i went into north beach and came up to proposal without consulting. great, i'm at a coastal commission meeting and sit down with you and work on it. never heard a word, did not know this was going on until i heard from another source yesterday. why are we doing this? it doesn't make any sense. there's been no process. it's been pointed out the mid market tenderloin tax credit ends in a year anyway. so, why do this? and i know, i wish aaron were here so he could explain this. i've heard various theories, but none make any sense. i k he spends too much time at cafe tr needs m time on mid market. any of the supervisors or anyone who work here take bart or see market, we have not achieved mission accomplished. work needs to be done in mid market. and if you think it'

i think aaron peskin pushed us into the fda's ff -- s.f. m.t.a. it has been a disaster for the past nine years. it gets worse every year. presently, they have instituted almost a million dollar project to pay a consulting firm to tell us once again what we are doing wrong. every proposal that they have put before us -- before us in the past nine years has been a disaster. medallion sales is just one aspect of it. i, for one driver, i'm totally fed up with the whole situation. i decided to start writing letters to a civil grant journey -- jury, to see if we can get an investigation into the correlation between the civil service commission, the transmitting project, the sfo commission, and this board. we have gone nowhere as taxi drivers in the past 20 years. while we now have a mayor that has the highest salary in the united states, we have a police chief with the highest salary in the united states pushing 400,000 a year, and we are back to where we were in 1980. >> thank you. the sergeant will come by and pick that up from you. thank you. comment
