anyway, i am robin lopez. i work with community relations development with two programs including a construction and training program. these two programs are in addition to the city built program which we have there. some of my clients to get them jobs, we work with removing barriers and getting people employment. back in 2010, they offered us paid internships, something we had not seen from hewlett- packard, who originally funded the program. putting people back to work. people indirectly would not think they would have an opportunity but permission hiring will have an opportunity to our programs and jobs. moving forward, giving an opportunity to some of these people, let's not delay the process, and hopefully it will get through. and the essence of what i want to say is i just want to help people get back to work again, all kinds of people. have a good night. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. next speaker, please. >> the programs that are before you. i a been a resident and a businesswoman in san fr

. >> i am a 20 year resident of san francisco. i have been active in the lincoln park golf group for that entire time. i am currently a board member on the golf club. i have followed the issue for some time. it occurs to me that the real issue is not so much frogs and snakes, but technical details withthere are arguments on both sides. there is a strong desire on the a minority of people around here. the affordability aspect is the issue. there are very few golf courses in this area that retired and junior golfers and people of limited income template. sharp is one of those and lincoln is one of those. it will deprive us of the opportunity to play. as much as we might want to and as much as might be good for us. i very much opposed this proposed ordinance. sharp park is a wonderful treasure and it needs to be kept open. >> next speaker. >> i am here to speak on behalf of the harvey milk democratic club and our environmental caucus in support of this ordinance. we feel when you combine the needs of the world to have last act locally

the one to ask me who i am, i am gene kelly? second-best to spencer tracy, but i am gene kelly. nobody taught me how to dance, i just danced. clark gable dance that his screen tests, but if you were good enough, you started acting in the didn't dance anymore. so i got to be pretty good at acting in the stock and dancing, but i loved to watch gene kelly and all of those dancers. hailed at the same thing. coffee, coca-cola, camel cigarettes, and baby ruth. i wanted to be right there in the middle of that. there was something spectacular about dancing, about being able to make your body do something beautiful. i don't mean just yoga or something, dancing is the most primitive form of art. i was always mesmerized, particularly by gene kelly. i could tap dance, and anybody can tap dance. it is a mathematical fang. but when you can move had hypnotized people, just with your body, that is fascinating. tavis: we have about two minutes left here, it has been a wonderful conversation. you said that maybe three or four times, if i were so sick, i know what you mean by that. let me ask wheth

i am still composing, and i am innocent. i am not sitting back and playing golf. that is not my style. tavis: i believe in practice, but when you are the master of this, what are you practicing for every day. not just minutes, but hours every day. >> hi practice for two hours or more if i have the strength of the stamina. it is something that is -- you say, this is why i am so lucky. jazz is not something that you can put in a book and practice, this is my lesson. it goes on and on. to get to that place, or something else. it is america's classical music into the great music that is. there is no and. miles used to say that like some great musicians, how about this? it is great, but he plays the same thing all the time. he is a great thing, but it is the same. you don't have to do that. a jazz musician can be different all the time. that is the kind of thing i am striving for. tavis: in your career, you have taken to sabbaticals. what in the late '50s and one in 66. the first one really strikes me as interesting because you were at the top of your game. you still ar

i am a bird watcher. i have seen the restoration have a positive affect on bird life and animal life. many people do not know that the california thrasher is breeding there after four years. i think that a lot of people are ignoring the fact that the sea wall is pretty much unsustainable in the future. i do not see why we cannot do something right now to restore the park before it becomes necessary. i wanted to mention, an instructor at the city college of san francisco cannot be here today. the park has been home to numerous migratory bird species, such as [reads a list of birds] an endangered species that was on the golf course for at least two weeks, as seen by myself and other people, as the reports flooded from the winter rains. i am completely in favor of this legislation. thank you. supervisor avalos: next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is jonathan evans. i want to thank the supervisor for introducing this legislation and taking a step in advance for san francisco that is p

i am in support and i hope you grant the license. >> i have lived in bernal heights and i am acquanted with skips. the horseshoe has transformed the ambience. president newlin: you want to explain the intimacy? >> i live in bernal heights. i am happy i am going to the horseshoe. >> i concur with everything said so far. it would be a shame if there was no music on cortland. i played there and there is no resemblance between what it was then and now. i mean music is vital to the life of a community. i urge you to grant this permit. >> i never parked in that parking lot. i made lots of friends. when they no longer had a license, i missed it. i want to go back to the neighborhood. there i get a lot of entertainment and made friends. i support them. >> moved -- i moved out here and i think keeping live music live is what makes neighborhoods flourish and what keeps people coming out. i think that is what the city has. i>> good evening. i am a small business. i have been the jobs, as a small business. so i am glad we gave her an opportunity. a small business can. to give her a chance. we are

i am the producer and production staff of -- productions. on. he is incredible. he took my first party we did, it was sold out and we have been doing it for years. i worked very closely with him. there is not anything he cannot handle or attack and attack -- talk on the phone and handle. he has his fingers all over town. the thing that have been most was i was a member, one of these off of the transfer in the day in we were able to bring back deerow -- trocadero. we have people flying in to attend this party once a year. the funds come under one roof. a couple of those are charities and we hired the original staff. steven lee has taken the time to not only welcome all of us but people that are handicapped into the situation. they have a job and have something to do again. there are a lot of older and younger people. he works, he knows the area. he taught me incredible things. thank you and please consider him. supervisor kim: thank you. >> i am here in support of steven lee. i am the president of a tech company. and a community volunteer. the

i am here in strong support of the resolution. i believe it will benefit our communities and there will be less kids spending time away from their families or having to deal with separation these holidays. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you very much. next speaker please. >> [speaking spanish] >> good afternoon. i am here in support of this policy. i believe police should not be working with i.c.e. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you very much. next speaker please. >> [speaking spanish] >> good afternoon. i am here today to support this proposal and asked you to support it. i believe that's i.c.e. should not be working with the police and hopefully with this proposal, i.c.e. will leave us alone -- i believe that's -- i believe that i.c.e. should not be working with the police. >> [speaking spanish] >> hello. i also support this policy. i do not want i.c.e. to be working with the police so much. thank you. >> [speaking spanish] >> good morning -- or good afternoon. i am hear from the women's collective -- here from th

i am an undergrad premed student. i will be here representing a doctor because he was not able to make it here tonight. my name is dr. michael -- i am here to represent the committee. i have served as a director of pediatrics and am still working at a pediatric clinic. there is a reduction in pediatrics, neonatal care, and other services. yes, they kept statements open to have wonderful things. this has harmed my young patients. and their working-class parents. we urge the board of supervisors to exercise the power to help the low-income population. it also makes no sense to transfer this in the heart of a densely populated area to near downtown. these plans do not reflect this with those losing their jobs and health insurance. st. luke's is by two freeways and some bus lines. not only does this ill serve people in san francisco who have a difficult time getting to it, it does not even serve the rest of the city. my colleague, there are no issues. cpmc will increase the shortfall with a five-year period. cpmc has diver

i am homeless. i became homeless because my domestic partner worked in the same company as i did, but he was violent. i was forced to leave my home to escape his violent behavior in get a better environment for my children and the transition has been difficult. i am going to school let this time. i lost my job because of a domestic issue. i have three daughters, however two are currently not staying with me because of the domestic violence situation. i am currently separated from my two daughters. i am currently staying at the shelter, doing my best to finish my program, battering myself and this -- battering myself." that is one example. one thing, even the founder of capitalism -- adam smith -- touted -- [tone] as the free enterprise man, said "no civilization should allow the poor is to go without the basics of food, -- poorest to go without the basics of food, clothing, and shelter." i am here to do whatever i can to help, along with these people, right now.

. >> i am sorry, commissioners. i was quoted a value of $500 for the television. >> any public comment regarding the television set. hearing none, do i have a motion? all in favor? >> aye. >> please call item too. >> item 2 is general public comment. the public is welcome to address the commission regarding items that do not appear on the agenda yet are within the jurisdiction of the commission. the speaker should address the remarks of all -- as a whole. neither police or commissioners are expected to respond but may provide a brief response. personnel should refrain from entering into any debates or discussions with speakers. public comment is limited to 2 minutes per person. >> good evening. goo>> are you able to show the pictures of public comment? i do have an active complaint that has been filed since march of 2011. it took a long time to hear the results of complaints regarding littering. i was a passenger of the vehicle. the driver drove up behind this accident. it appeared they had hit a private citizen. i s

when i am drunk i think i am fine. i'm like, i don't need anything. this is great. i don't even buy the umbrellas on the street when i am drunk. who cares? it is a little rain. >> a happy go lucky drunk. >> here is the thing and i will go to kurt, can't drunk purchases be a nice surprise? three days later you get a package at your door and it is like, oh, this is great. >> first, shopping while you are high, is that new? you take it back when you sober up. it is simple math. >> bill, some guy interviewed in the story, he got drunk and bought a $10,000 motorcycle tour of new zealand. >> i want that guy to be my new best friend. i was told it was peter jackson. this could not be truer. three years ago i was just only freelance writing. i was able to make enough to make rent, but that was about it. i stayed a lot at home and drinking cheap, crap stuff. i would literally get surprised in the mail when things would come. i still have two things to this day i bought and i never used. one was the ab roller. oh it gets worse. th is absolutely true. it is in the closet and i

if i am painting a fence outside, i will grab some paint there could i am not saying that the paint there is any worse than the painted a larger wholesaler, but if you're doing a big job, usually well, and painters have preferences. i have worked with a number of painters who like a particular paint for a particular reason. of course, they will drive out of town if they have to to get the paint and give the business to san mateo county or someplace, the taxes, but they are particular about their pains. while there are other sherman williams stores in san francisco, i think keeping business here in an area with a lot of wood frame structures and stucco structure that will be paid to it constantly, i think it will probably help the business in the independent hardware stores, rather than detract from it. that would be my opinion vietor i am in favor of it, but we will see where we go. commissioner miguel: there are some arguments here that i have got to comment on, the argument about levis and other stores have been levis. sending those with nike downtown. these are flagship stores that are

i am on the board of a neighborhood association. i have been involved with the planning and implementation of the market octavia plan for eight years. i know the plan very well. there are a bunch of moving parts that are coming about to be laid out on the ground, which will have impact on the plan area and i am very familiar with what does impact will be. my interesting is in using the community benefits as part of the matching funds and really trying to coordinate the bus rapid transit, the implementation of the transit effectiveness project. we just had a really good project approved, but it still needs funding to improve transit capacity on the 71 and the six. there are thousands of new housing units that peter just mentioned. those housing units are going to affect traffic patterns in the market and octavia area. i am very familiar with that. i also teach a land use planning at san francisco state university. i do have a citywide view, i am thinking about not just how the developments in the neighborhood but also how it affects t

the reason i am successful in my day job is because i am an artist, i am involved in creation. that said, san francisco has a vibrant entertainment scene. it continues to grow, it continues to bring people to the city. i believe that there are a lot of ways that this commission can positively impact the scene as it is now. i would say one of the first things i would bring to the table ideally would be the way to book local and by that, i mean to have venue owners to have successful venues whether they be corporately owned or independently owned. book artists on weekends to open up for established artists with the hope of growing those artists to fill their venues on monday or tuesday and wednesday. this was an idea i discussed a long time ago with boots houston who owned the maritime hall. i asked why do not book on a local opener and he said they do not drive people -- drug people. -- draw people. if you do it would add to the revenue. that is why would like to see happen. i cannot say anything more than willing to encourage the current lackluster book local. supervisor campos:

if i may, i am going to say a few words in spanish. [speaking spanish] i just wanted to reiterate that i want to thank supervisors -- supervisor mar. i think this makes sense and is consistent with the fact that we are a sanctuary city. other jurisdictions -- my understanding is there are at least four other jurisdictions that are following this practice of not honoring i.c.e. holds. what i will say about the policy of making a clear distinction between local law enforcement and immigration enforcement is that it is something that makes all of us safer. i give the example of how if any sense franciscan is the victim of a crime and you have an undocumented person who is a witness to that crime, you want that person to come forward and report that -- if any san franciscan is the victim of a crime. that person will not come forward if people have a fear that any entanglement, any connection with law enforcement could lead to deportation. that is why it is important to protect the entire public to make that distinction. with that, i want to

i am opposed to the project. i grew up now practicing field hockey and soccer, and i want to address the attitude of this project, the impact of the attitude on children now and in the future. i grew up practicing there. that taught me the thrill of physical exertion in a natural setting. i believe sports and physical activity is one of the most important things we can cultivate in our children. an instrument appreciation and experience of natural environment is equally important. it seems vital that a child connection with nature is born in finding speed, running full tilt after a fall, plunging through mud puddles, and playing on their stomachs. it was for me anyway. i would like to encourage a closer look at some of alternatives that use natural grass. it seems a natural extension of leadership. i love the suggestion of getting kids out there with shovels. what a great way to instill values in our children. >> good evening, commissioners. my name is roland campos. i have been almost a lifetime resident of san f

i am surviving. had all kinds of thoughts about how i could take care of myself and i have a hospital nearby. president chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> i am the [unintelligible] i am a patient of medical campus. [unintelligible] where there were silenced. i feel like i am being silenced and i do not feel that is right. president chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> i wanted to have the support of hiv and cancer patients as well. we need support as well as everyone else. >> good evening. it has been a long day. i started not to come here but i changed my mind. i am a resident of parkmerced. planning never released the documents for me, or give them to me, i have had to piece my way through them. recently i can across a memo that was part of your packet when you voted on parkmerced. in the memo, $50,000 of supplemental money goes to a project in supervisor carmen chu's district. you gave so much time regarding paperbacks that i felt there residents of parkmerced should have had the opportunity to discus

currently, i am also serving on the board of the mdna. the mdna and the cac have good working relationships with each other. i want the best of features for all the burdens and the people that live there. i would very much like to continue working with the cac mlp. i won't take questions for him. [laughter] supervisor kim: i can call your name next. >> i am karen knowles-pearce. i have lived in the neighborhood for many years. i became active with boards around the city and the search for 10 years on the mission bay cac. i serve for four years and was the vice chair of transbay transit center. since 2001, i have been a member and the chair of the treasure island yerba buena island advisory board. this year, after the world when of approvals, i found myself sitting on only one board and decided i was getting bored and i needed to pay more attention to the immediate neighborhood. after years of being asked to sit on the mission delores neighborhood association, i accepted their offer and joined this year. and then was asked to join the mlp c

i work for a company called sports supply, and i am fortunate. travel around all the marine businesses in the bay area, commercial and recreational marine businesses, and for the last four years plus it has been depressing to do what i am doing sometimes. these businesses have been hurt seriously in the recession, and there is a lot of excitement in the community, in the boating community and the business community, so i am very much in support of this and i hope you will support it, too. i was not raised in yacht clubs, but once he goes sailing you get hooked. i would venture 90% of its citizens do not realize what we have here. one of bowdothe goals is to proe sailing. this is an opportunity to see what sailboat's do excessively, and it is a great opportunity. i live in alameda, n.yand it isa great place. i would love to see the top here. but it is going to be a lot of fun, and thank you for being here and doing this. >> thank you. >> good evening. i am president of the dolphin club. dithank you for the opportunityo speak, and we are in support

i am not sure if i have another question for you, but i have comments. if i have more questions, i will bring you up again. generally speaking, i would agree, as one of the speakers said, these are things that should be grandfathered in indefinitely. nobody likes surface parking lots. if you look at the very top of market, lots of things are being built and service parking lots being eliminated, as it should be. the revenue they generate and opportunities they provide for businesses that may need this, businesses that depend upon them, it is important to keep in operation. i am not so sure i am in favor of the changes now being put forth, either by the supervisor, or staff recommendations. certainly, i am much closer to staff. i am just not sure we have to go through the cumbersome conditional use process every five years for a parking lot that will be anything else. no one wants to keep a parking lot. they can generate much more revenue from a use that is a building and other things. we have seen a lot of that. we have seen these interim parking lots, w

i am a conservative. i think the republican party when they say they love competition they want to clear it like a political bulldozer and choose the nominee you fill out the senate races in 2010 i don't want to see the presidential races. they are saying newt gingrich and john mccain but the real action is mitt romney is turning into rudy giuliani. >> mitt romney. mitt romney. frontrunner. all of the king's horses all of the king's men all of the endorsements the money writing checks every where. he is a 36 r -- 68-year-old grandfather. he's flavor of the month it's a good month because it ends at the iowa caucuses. >> congressman labrador same question to both of you do your constituents consider him the 68-year-old grandfather of two or rather a man who is married on his third marriage and has a lot of problems with infidelity and hypocrisy? >>> i think the american people are able to for give all of the mistakes we make. didn't prove whether he was loyal to his wife or not. what it proved is he was not

i am proud of him to be up here. it's pretty grim reflection of what we do and what we try to accomplish as far as golf professionals in our coaching and teaching. i graduated in 1986. i was a golf coach for 10 years, 10 season. during that time, i started the 501c3 nonprofit company that was the junior golf foundation. it tried to further an advance of golf to the junior masses. in trying to communicate with more people in the city, they tried to chase us out of lincoln and harding. this is where we created jr. access for kids. i stand here today representing dnc pga section itself. and we had an annual meeting today. all of our annual members were there today. i am basically there, representing that. this golf course gave me my access to do what i do and follow my passions to teach, coach, and advanced it to kids. i hear people saying that we want public access for kids. this is a safe environment for kids to be in. i appreciate the chance to say the words. it is important for people to understand, there is nothing

further tests sanchez, and i am speaking for myself. i had the privilege of being the adopted goddaughter of jimmy herman in his last years of his life, so i had a very personal relationship with him, and i was privileged to have that. one of the things i wanted to share with you is that people have been talking about a lifetime and the years that they have been trying to bring a new cruise terminal to our report. it is appropriate that you're taking this vote today at city hall, because i remember 22 years ago as a then young staffer for the mayor, one of the first projects that i worked on was a project to develop the scandinavian center at pier 33, a cruise terminal. that was the first iteration of a cruise terminal i was exposed to. i worked on it, actually, with the commissioner's has been, the deputy mayor, at the time. that did not come to fruition. the land lease cruise terminal did not come to fruition. so i am really pleased that we're so close to finally getting this new cruise terminal. it is a program that it has mr. herman'

it was an amazing grace to watch as i am sure for you. i was incredibly impressed by the royal lawlessness of your campaign in trying to touch everything goal border in district 5. i would often hear of obscene ross at this bus stop. how could it be could be at these different bus stops every single day? also the incredible qadry of folks you were able to bring on. -- cadre of folks you were able to bring on. it was a tremendous experience during that time. two years later, you had a strong reputation already on the board. you were known as someone who would be at the site of homicides before sfpd who -- would be there. we have had coffee and i have been able to walk on the streets with you. i do not think i was ever on the street when a constituent did not stop you. it is a tremendously hard work and something that i hope to model as a district supervisor as well. we did some research and found that you were the primary sponsor of 126 pieces of legislation which passed over the last seven years. i wanted to highlight some of the ones that

i am here with all of the parents also. i am asking you for help. because the principle is not teaching spanish to the kids. all the glasses are in english. i could take my kids and go somewhere else. i picked that school especially for their immersion program, because i wanted them to speak spanish. when they speak spanish, we do not understand them very well. thank you for your time. >> good evening, everybody. i have three kids at paul revere. i have the same problem that all the parents have. the principal knows that i am here and i'm coming with other parents to let you know that my kids have been traumatized with all of the punishment that he is receiving. the principal is complaining that we do not go to the meetings, but when we go to the meetings, she does not listen to us and sometimes we want to shake her hand and she does not shake our hands. i would ask that you do something about it to resolve this problem, not just for the parents or the teachers, but for the kids. [speaking spanish] i do not think it is fair that she told my kid that

i am not sure which property this is. now if i turn to the same elevation, the self elevation, north. you see this bottom-line the staircase? it is twice as big. this is part of the extension, where this is somebody else's property. i understand this is a new addition, but what is that? hopefully, somebody can explain that to me. in conclusion, i am not really here to stop the property owner , i just want the extension to be fair, reasonable, and enlivened the neighborhood. >> if i may, my name is john, brother of jordan and also owner of the property. my name is john kwan, brother of jordan kwan and co-owner of the property. i just want to mention, if this goes forward, it will block sunlight and certainly will block the window. i am proposing that sense right now, since they are proposing the two levels, putting one back. to be consistent with the neighborhood, i have only found twenty second avenue and only one novel, in addition to that, i am also proposing to have a setback rather than completely built right next to o

the shipo also suggests there are things i am proposing that could endanger c.l.g. status and under the current article, i that could cause danger to the status. i am trying to initiate a process for a district creation. that 66% has been in article 10 and 11 for decade. h.p.c. recommends removing. i am recommending putting it back in. the shipo is suggesting putting that back in, it's currently there and been there for decades that that would cause us to lose the c.l.g. status. my question is, is that stating that our c.l.g. status has been invalid for decades? >> article 10 and 11 has never mentioned the standards but if articles 10 and 11 don't state that you have to comply with the standard, that could lose the c.l.g. status. again, it's never done that before, but have we had the faulty c.l.g. status for decades? any office and planning staff have made clear that we will be presenting and working with the shipo on the planning commission. we are going to include it and welcome the feedback especially about c.l.g. status because i will not allow us to use our c.l

i am sure all that would be taken into consideration. in any case, it would have to be a case by case situation. i would like to have staff and supervisors stand firm on surface parking lots. support the direction you are going there. i did have a question on a long- term parking rates. could you explain that more? long-term parking rates isn't in terms -- the addition to what? >> it was developed during the downtown plan, to discourage people from driving downtown every day. it does not allow you to have a discount to purchase a monthly pass. you have to be charged the hourly rate. right now, we do not do a good job of enforcing it. that is current policy. the new one would allow an early bird special. a discount of $2.50 if you arrive before a certain time and leave after a certain time. in terms of expanding the waterfront committee, that is a great idea. commissioner sugaya: you are also suggesting that curb cuts should not come before this commission, but go to the advisory committee? >> correct. commissioner sugaya: could you explai

i am a videographer. i make my living shooting sailboat races, and if you have seen any of it, you have seen them go head over heels. for me, this is a big opportunity, and i urge you to certify the eir so we can move forward with this. thank you very much. >> i am norman peers. i am a founding member of the yacht club. it is called fog city yacht club. this idea was spurred by the america's cup because there is a need for everybody in the city to participate. i have been fortunate enough to attend several america's cups in the past. i have the opportunity to be in portugal and also in san diego. the event management, the oversight is extremely professional. they are very concerned with every aspect of the environment. they take the time and energy to clean up after they leave, and it is one of the best professional organizations i have seen. as far as its impact on the ecology and building, i think it is going to be nothing but positives. the awareness of we do have a waterfront and we have the ability to

i am not as strong as i used to be, but i am not completely week. so i started walking right into them and knocking them over. they ran away. i did not care. that is a weird and horrible situation. so i went to court on a big day. it was january in d.c. it was cold and raining. i got up early. i left my house in the dark. i got to court hours before my court appointed time because i wanted to beat the media there. so i grabbed a hat. i am an orthodox jew. we have hats. it is part of the deal. so i put on his hat and upon his raincoat and i left. my wife was sleeping. she would have said, where you nuts? i went out and i walked in and there was none of the media there. i had some things on my mind that day. i was pleading guilty to crimes and going to face the fact that i was being taken away from my family. so i finished and i was with the justice department and the fbi guy who treated me very fairly and very appropriately, never abused me in any way. i know that happens, but it did not to me. i put my hat on and my coat on to leave, thinking, ok. an

>> even though i am not with that abusive person anymore, it worries me about the threats he used to make about calling i.c.e. if i did not do what he said. >> [speaking spanish] >> today, i fear for my children because they are undocumented, and with scom, they could be deported if my x calls the police and accuses them falsely of anything -- if my ex calls the police and accuses them falsely of anything. >> [speaking spanish] >> please protect our families and us, survivors of violence in the lgbt community. please do not allow san francisco to respond to the i.c.e. holds. thank you. >> it is great to see you all again and said the i am seeing you all here because of scom -- sad that i am seeing you all here because of scom. other partners have threatened to call i.c.e., and unfortunately because of the collaboration between police and i.c.e., it makes it easier. an ins officer may not show up to the door, but a police officer will. it is very scary. other violence survivors are here with us as well. they are club members and showing support to the board of supervisors basically pas

all of the animals i am showing are dead. wanted them to be taking -- taken as though they are sleeping, eternal sleep. i like to exaggerate the features of the animals. it gives it more of a surreal element. it is a release subtle element. -- it is a really is subtle elements. the range of reactions people get is that normally they get what i am trying to achieve, the sense of calmness, it's really gentle state of mind -- a really gentle state of mind, i guess. ♪

i click the button and i am good to go. i will get a confirmation e-mail if i have set it up that way. it will go directly to my credit card that i have set up. it is completely secure for the credit card system, for those concerned about security and safety. i will give a text message of the reminding me the meter is about to expire. if i want to extend it, i can do it just as easily. that is all there is to it. you can be processed by calling the 800 number. it is simple technology that helps people to be compliant and helps to make sentences the transportation work. i think we have an ipad with a close-up of the app. thank you for coming out today. there is a 45 cent fee. this does not go to the mta. is a transaction between whoever is using it and pay by phone. that is the cost for providing the service. initially, you get a couple of them free to try it out and see how it works. if you compare 45 cents to the time it would take you to run and fish for coins, i think it is 45 cents well spent. it is 45 cents as opposed t
