want to thank commissioner borden for an outstanding job on the planning commission. and i'm sure she will do the same thing here. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is dwayne jones and i'm ecstatic to be before you today, to support commissioner borden. she has been on several high-profile commissions before and we believe she has done an amazing job and look forward to her continuing that effort and her kind of being open as jim said earlier, to just hearing everybody out. being very clear on what the pros and cons are, particularly as it pertains to transportation. we all know how important an issue that is, particularly for the often disconnected folks in the southeast side of town. she has championed many of those efforts to make sure that inclusion and rapid transportation to get them to work, downtown, has been at the forefront of her work as i know even as a planning commissioner. so i appreciate the moments and i appreciate you all putting her forth for her appointment at the mta. thank you. >> thank you, mr. jones. any other pub

agency board of directors for the unexpired [kpo-rgs/] of 4-year term ending march 1,2018. >> miss borden, please come up to the mic. chair yee, supervisors campos and tang, thank you very much for hearing this motion for my appointment to the mta. i am so proud for the opportunity to have served these past six years as a planning commissioner for the city and county of san francisco. those of you who have worked with me know i'm very passionate about land use issues and the things that matter in terms of creating a strong community. to me, the transit agency is the most vital part of the overall network that we are look at. the connection between land use and transportation is often lost and every week for the last six years we have talked and pondered neighborhood plans and community plans and developments, based upon our transportation infrastructure and our plans for the future. i feel it's my opportunity, if i were appointed to this commission, to make that connection and make sure that those things happen. we all think that we have a great transit system, but we know it's not the be

we have a lot other comments i'll wait until the other supervisors comment >> commissioner borden. >> obviously everyone is in agreement on item 2 but item 4 - on the liberty street no one talked about but i wasn't sure what happened and he in terms of duncan street just to make a not to the public there's two commissioners not here actually 3 i'm going off the commission and two other commissioners are absent so if we take testimony you'll have a subtle different commission on whatever the dates are and none of that can factor into the deliberation because of the legal issue it's reprehensible because the posting didn't happen and it calls into question a lot of things but it leaves under the law we can make you stay until we get to item 167 and hear the testimony knowing your have to have a different commission donate why it's not optimal so it's the last item on the agenda i personally am disappointed that happened. it is i would say that maybe the commission can take that under advisement but to the planner on item 15 what's the - >> the dr requester is asking for more times but t

we are sad that commissioner sugaya and borden will not be reappointed, but we do know that the commissioners who succeed them will benefit greatly from being on the same body with kathrin moore. we thank them and we her very much. >>> good afternoon. my name is allen martinez. as has been said, kathrin moore brings an invaluable expertise about planning. a very deep knowledge of how san francisco planning works and knowledge of the history of it. but that alone to me, what makes catherine special is that she's also totally aware of what's at stake with these. that planning is not an abstract exercise, not about making the statutes run smoothly. that it affects people's lively hoods and people's families and community and knows what's at stake as far as planning. i support her for that reason. she knows what san francisco is. she's a member of the community. she appreciates what's valuable in france and what's so easily lost. >> good afternoon. supervisors tang, campos and yee. my name is john o'connel with the residential builders. it seems a short time ago back in june 2010 when kathrin moo
