mr. brooks. mr. wolf? >> thank you, bruce wolf speaking for myself just on this particular issue and i think that the problem that started with all of this was that uber and lyft and the others went to the state. i think that it would be good if maybe you think about drafting some legislation to push at the state level to bring it back to local control. so i would urge you to do that. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. and any other people of the public that would like to see some public comment is now closed. i believe that we don't need to take an action on this item. is that correct, mr. clerk? >> i defer to miss stricter on this. >> yes, i understand that the executive officer is looking for direction to proceed with the study and so i think that a motion to allow him to proceed would be appropriate. >> supervisor fewer: all right. is there a motion to authorization our executive officer to do this study on emerging services and partnering with the transportation authority. so moved. great. seco

mr. brooks. >> hello.c brooks, san francisco clean energy advocate and californiians for energy choice. so i just want to focus on state level legislation. thank you for in your last meeting putting a stop or saying no to ab 813. that was really crucial. the one that you've got on your agenda, sb 247 would be even more damaging to community choice. i was a little bit late and missed some of the presentation from the sfpuc, but the last conversation the advocates had with the sfpuc, it didn't look very promising to get them on board to hope oppose these bills and help get cal c.c.a. to oppose these bills. they're an agency that has very specific focus on its own internal needs and objectives. san francisco public utilities commission especially, and also, other existing c.c.a.s are pretty much only looking out for their own back yard and they're not thinking about these bigger implications of these bills, and that's how we ended up with this vote at cal c.c.a. where seven of the people that voted supported

mr. brooks said which is that nancy miller, our prior counsel, was not a resource to us. we paid a lot of money to their law firm and, you know, contrasted miss stricter is responsive and local and has been so valuable over the last year as our commission has changed. but miss miller was our representative for many years from that same law firm. and i found it very difficult to reach her. i wasn't -- my emails weren't responded to. and i was unsure whether she was representing lafco, the body that was paying our bills, and, you know, whether or not she had a conflict of interest with the city and county of san francisco. so that is something that is -- is troublesome. and so while we have miss stricter who has been quite, you know, wonderful and just a delight to work with, i think that it really does matter who our, you know, who our dedicated counsel is from that law firm. so i think that is something that we should take into consideration. i agree with mr. gibner that an r.f.p. is something that we would to do. and revisiting this every year and extending it, even with

mr. brooks' comments, i know that mr. gobel has been working around advocates around clean power 2.0, so just ask that you continue the work that you're doing in that. and in that, i believe the local buildout has been a feature of that ongoing investigation and that you continue to look at that. thank you. >> supervisor fewer: and mr. gobel, i would like you to expand your scope when -- of study around the taxi drivers and the medallion issue to include a racial analysis, also. thank you very much. thank you, michael, for that suggestion. >> you're very welcome. >> supervisor fewer: and then -- there's no action for this committee to take. madam clerk, can you please call item number seven. >> clerk: item number seven. public comment. members of the public may address the lafco on items that are within their jurisdiction and not on today's agenda. >> supervisor fewer: are there any members that would like to spe speak? hello. >> hello again. this time i would like to speak to a false narrative and speak about the people

mr. smoot. >> jolly argued if brooke was so afraid of smoot, why would she want to keep seeing him?w she was the one that called him that day. >> she continued to treat shawn as a friend, as someone she'd do activities with. >> did you worry that could be confusing to the jury? >> absolutely. i think that's the underlying question any time that we're talking about domestic violence. why does anyone go back? >> the prosecutors hoped any doubt the jury may have regarding smoot's guilt would be wiped away when they called their key witnesses to the stand. >> do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give -- >> amy denver who was working for smoot when brooke was murder said the impression of man who hired her didn't last. >> why did it change? >> he was cold, got angry easily. not satisfied really ever. almost seemed like he enjoyed getting somebody rowled up. >> in court she testified about what happened the monday following brooke's murder. >> now, on that day did mr. smoot come into the office? >> he came in that morning, when i saw hum the first time he didn't see me. he
