david pilpel again. so on item two, i have three comments on the restricted communications contract report that's included with the agenda materials. i think it would be helpful if the project that title and they're not all projects they're project or grass but if those titles were applicable had department names or had more intuitive titles for example p.w. folsom street scape project i believe is public works. but it may be that mta is the lead japantown peace plaza. i think japantown is actually one word and i think that's a recreation and park department project. itc immunization and travel clinic relocation. i think that's a health department project. i don't know the lake merced trail improvements project if that's recreation and park or puc and then some of the and on the next page, the davies symphony hall elevator modernization. i assume that's the war memorial performing arts center department. anyway, just having the department name in there would help and then maybe for the professional servi

great david pilpel again. so three items here regarding the public correspondence about what department eight public hearings . i'm happy to work with david steinberg on hearing procedures . i have some familiarity with that. i think there are some principles that should apply and i yeah, i in any event, i'm happy to work with david steinberg on that. the next item i think the advanced calendar still needs some work in terms of format, and i didn't see the update on workforce development associated with the hr report, but i hope that that's coming at the next meeting on october 20th. in response to a request from the commission. i think commissioner turner and finally , as next year's calendar is being developed, understanding that room available city is limited, i would urge you to consider holding these meetings actually, earlier in the day in my experience, public works is kind of an early in the day department. and so i think starting meetings just after eight, as soon as you could get in the building and

good morningful david pilpel. as you heard mackeen anderson a long time activist with the league of women voters of san francisco and california her passion is evidence i look forward to her serveoth task force i'm sure she will contribute to the spirited debate and discussion. and i can also assure chair dorsey and the other members and anyone listening the process improvement and changes this you suggested are already in the works and considered. and improving the stature of the task force in the city and with respect to complainants issue respondents and the press in general is a shared goal and one had is very much in the works. i look forward to maxine serving and thanks for listening. >> thank you. this completes our list of phone public commenters. >> thank you, public comment on item low is closed. and i will make a motion to recommend maxine anderson on seat 5 of the sunshine ordinance task force and send it to the full board can we have a roll call zoom on that motion vice chair walton. >> aye. >> superv

great david pilpel again.so i'm speaking as an individual, but i refer youleer from the sunshine ordinance task force. it's in the packet. i agree that this proposal is an overreaction to some specific negative and in completely inappropriate remarks. however, i believe eliminating remote public comment would severely restrict participation to those who can be there. and you've heard from other speakers about that, other public agencies have effectively dealt with the small number of problematic commenters. i think there are legal, practical and technical ways to do that here, including more active moderation and muting and requiring a real name, email address or phone number for remote public comment . this should not be an either or choice of how things are now or not at all. we should find a way to fix things and the sunshine ordinance task force would like to help solve the problem. i urge you to reject the motion here or let's mend it and not end it. item seven today would codify remote public comment for

david pilpel again. so on this item, while there is some more discussion of stakeholder engagement in the staff report, it just raised some additional questions for me. if the community asks for various things, it didn't really commit more than just, oh, we're going to, you know, maybe look into it . so i'm i'm just concerned about the lack of meaningful discussion about stakeholder engagement in staff reports. it is not particularly clear to me why these changes are being pursued right now, given what staff said earlier about about staff availability and other things. this just doesn't seem like the highest priority to me. i did hear david hooper speak a few minutes ago and i heard him speak at the friday hearing on this that essentially that this project by itself will not improve j church reliability. and i agree with him. i think that is true. and he has a lot of experience since as a transit supervisor for central control dispatcher, train controller manager for it seems to me that there really are

david pilpel two points, i think. barry toronto earlier made referee to two people, leaving the mta staff. i understand that one of them is tom maguire, who will be leaving mta soon. i wish him well, although he is not perfect. none of us are. he's a human being, but he, in my opinion, he's been a very decent and honest person at mta and mta could certainly use more decent and honest people. and i think it's a big loss for mta management and for the city. so i wish him well. and if anyone can straighten out bart to san jose, good luck to him on that. on a separate topic , the board of supervisors just voted to limit remote public comment at its meetings. i think that was a bad policy choice and i hope mta will not follow suit and do so. thanks for listening. thank you. no additional speakers. okay, let's close public comment and move to the next item. directors that places you on item ten consent calendar. these items are considered to be routine and will be acted upon by a single vote unless a member of the board or

david pilpel good afternoon. i caught the end of director jacobi's comments. i appreciate his thoughts and it's great that he's back safely and i'm sure that he won't be too far away or for very long. as with many, we have not always agreed, which is fine, but i think that we respect each other deeply, and i'm sure that we will communicate at some point soon. and i wish him the best and i think the board will be worse with his departure. anyway, thanks for listening on this item. thank you. no additional speakers. okay close close public comment and please call the next item place is you on item number seven, the director's report. thank you. directors and thank you directors. so and henderson for clarifying your priorities. a year nearly a year ago, back in february, we had a board budget workshop that we're preparing for again and one of the most important aspects of that workshop is hearing from board members about your priorities, and particularly clarity about your values. that is how we make the hard decisions about allocating our increasingly limited fi
