i want to also thank robin abad and the planning department for their tremendous work on this lemgs lation over the last several months. i also would like to recognize my legislative aide, sophia kitler who's been instrumental shaping this process. madam clerk, the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, madam president. supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer: thank you, colleagues. i'm introducing a hearing request to dive into our city's red carpet policies. ist absolutely shocked to hear that red carpet could be used by shuttles and transportation vehicles. as san francisco deals with increasingly congested roadways where transit is already congested by private vehicles and t.n.c.'s, the muni needs to be a lane with all of that. quite frankly we do not know how many and what type of vehicles currently item lies the lanes and how they impact service at peak commuter times. while i know that the m.t.a. recently approved phase one of the geary b.r.t., i hope this hearing will be an opportunity to discuss the policy in terms of what should be allowed in red carpet lanes moving forward. we need t

fulfilling the legal requirements under the sunshine ordinance and legal lemgs lation. in the last six months, the commission has received and filled 32 public records requests, ten of those since we saw you last, so about 30% of them in the last two months. that means, on average, we get more than a request every week. occasionally, in responding to that request, the answer is that we have no records that would respond to the questions that a requester has put to us, but in other instances, we have an overwhelming number of records that would respond to the questions of a requester. so the scope of response varies from zero records to upwards of 10,000. and you'll see notes that it takes, on average, about 12 staff hours every week to fulfill those requests. staff have produced to the public in the last six months roughly 20,000 pages of records related to the business of the ethics commission, and staff are currently collecting and reviewing an additional 10,000 for production in the coming weeks. i would add, lastly, that the person who currently serves as the commis

come up with some different strategies, and i think that's what the flexibility allows for in the lemgs lation. i do want to make a comment. the department doesn't have to respond and recology doesn't have to respond. but i heard the people talking, people that are actually handling the trash, when it says as many eyes and hands on the waste as possible, and the fact that 60% of that waste stream is still going to landfill, some of that is still going to end up at the transfer facilities, so we'd like to work with recology. i know that in some of the other areas outside of san francisco, they're actually doing some sort of of the waste stream itself, so we should have a further conversation with that because that's going to probably increase the amount of diversion. and then, i will say i'm very -- i did hear loud and clear the folks say particularly in apartment buildings that we're talking about the actual users in those buildings, and i did -- i just wanted to -- i know that in one of our last meetings, people presented us with some legislation and process that they do in new york city, but
