director heinicke: these will be pretty basic. first of all, to be clear, because we took it on to make sure that our friends in the building and trades community were notified -- this is not a fee schedule that has -- that had their interest piqued the last time there were before us, correct? we don't need to be concerned that we missed another a rich opportunity. i want to make that clear. this is not standard parking citations. this is a specific list of things. on more standard parking citations, you and i, and i think all of us together, have moved to an indexed proposal going forward. aren't these specific penalties or citations also going to be subject to indexing going forward? just to clarify, the indexing proposal or indexing policy applies to the broad base of parking citations? no, it does not. >> thank you for the question. we have sort of two buckets of things we can charge the public for. one is indexed. the other is subject to the state vehicle code. the citation is limited to vehicle code language that applies to

director heinicke: what is the firm date currently? >> july 21. but what we need the extra time to do -- director heinicke: i have no dispute about the extra time. i just wonder whether we should continue it now or continue it later. >> it is my understanding the only item which can talk about or consider is the taximeter fare increase or wait time or traffic delay. i want to ask my fellow directors -- we can either approve the item today or wait for staff to come back with a motion to approve the drug trade. what is your general feeling? director oka: first of all, thank you, mr. chairman. i have heard from almost every member of the taxi industry over the last less than a week, and everybody -- i have heard all your voices. believe me, this is going to be good when we finally put it to work. i am ready to vote on this today, but i know the it is a complicated and complex thing to look at. i will move the item, and if people want to do whatever, i will move the item. >> you are prepared to address it today? director heinicke: i said we should hea

director heinicke: you did a wonderful job with san francisco. i would urge you to follow that model. i did wanted to make sure we were dealing with a limited interaction window. executive director ford: we are getting a lot of practice at this. the next presentation will be regarding islais creek motor coach facility. chairperson nolan: vice chair lee had some concerns. vice chairperson lee: there was initial presentation given when chairman beach was chairing that. there was talk about relocating kirkland, but there was never a formal analysis or plan, or the cost impact. looking at the packet again, i still don't see that being addressed. executive director ford: what we plan on bringing to the entire board is a strategic look at the entire mta as it relates to real estate, property, and facilities, looking at our 20- year plan in terms of rider ship, fleet management, and so on. we are not actively discussing any sale or development of the kirkland property. as we know things now, what we clearly see in terms of limitation on storage or vehic

director heinicke: i have a question about something that was not discussed. i was under the impression we would get a report today on the twin peaks tunnel. i guess on speed in the twin peaks tunnel. am i mistaken? executive director ford: you will get a full briefing on that in the may 17 meeting. chairperson nolan: you mentioned in the taxi town hall meetings -- we receive messages saying these times do not work for some people. you say there will be another possibility of additional meetings? could those accommodate evening meetings? executive director ford: we will take a look. i receive those comments also. we will see how we can cover anyone interested in speaking at those town hall meetings to try to cover the entire industry and make it easy to attend. chairperson nolan: thank you. i understand there are a number of speakers, pushing 80 at this point. i assume most people are here to speak about taxi-related issues. mr. ford has brought us up in his report. we can hear those now. we had a meeting a couple of weeks ago which had 40 speakers. we have ab

director heinicke: i said we should hear from members of the community who have come to address this so that they have maybe something to shoot at, and i will make up my mind after we have heard from them. my inclination would be to hold this over so that we can hear it all as a package. as you mentioned, we cannot hear the entire thing today. i think the industry has represented itself very well. i think they have demonstrated the need for the increase, and i am prepared to support one, but i think for procedural matters, i would rather consider this as a whole, and for merits matters, i would rather consider this in context or in conjunction with some of the service increases. not stuff being drawn or all that, stuff already through the pipeline and ready to go. that would be my inclination. i know the industry wants this increase soon. that would be my inclination as well, but i would rather hear this as an entire package. i will say that for now, but we had already. there are a lot of people want their voices to be heard today. >> i, too, support the increase, but i would like to
