mr. reiskin and others to try to change the behavior and be more responsive on these issues. but it goes to heart the heart what we're trying to accomplish today, if you take on all of the criticism, if you take all of the heat and all of the concerns, but yet you have no authority, you and say that over and over again, people don't understand that. it makes sense that we have limits authority that supervisor peskin had worked on back in 2007, and it seems this is the time to exercise that. but he acknowledged, and i do want to say the sf mta has definitely made some changes, and we're going to ask them to present on the changes today. through the chair -- >> supervisor tang: supervisor peskin, do you have a statement? >> supervisor peskin: i want to say that proposition a, which only could have gotten on the ballot by the board of supervisors, actually created another legislative brank ch o government. so when we gave the mta commission or i should say the voters gave the mta commission the ability to legislate, that was a pretty amazing thing. i mean, it's very rare that a

mr. reiskin. that's good news. if the folks that are standing on the seat side could move to the other side, that would be great. >> clerk: the cue is if you're intending to kilr . >> you know really, we're afraid of losing our customers if it's hard to get to the embarcadero, and if we lose them, and they start going someplace else, we've lost the flower market even when we come back to our location, you know, if they've got other locations or they've got other places to buy flowers, and it's coming directly from 3w ogo-- bogota, columbia, to buy flowers, we're done. we hope you consider the 2000 marin site. it's easy to get to, and it is he a great location. >> vice president melgar: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is eileen tillman, and i'm an almost 50 year resident of central soma. i'm excited by the opportunity for the central soma park to bring more green space and activity to our neighborhood, and i look forward to working with the design team and the city to make sure that it's well taken care

mr. reiskin, i think you have new gadgets. >> we'll see if this works. we'll go a little slower. but i am very happy to be here to present for your consideration the -- our new strategic plan. i think the last time we really talked to you in agenda was back in january or february when we had an off-site and kind of caught you up to where we were and got a lot of great feedback from the board, all of which we have since incorporated and now have this plan that is before you for your consideration. so if we can go to the slides, and now, if we can go to the old fashioned way and have someone come up and move the...turn it on. just the demands that you're all making of me. so the old turn it on plan seems to have worked. so the -- as you know all, but just for the benefit of the public, the strategic plan is what guides the department. every projector decision or report that we bring you, is relating to this strategic plan, and we always identify for you what parts of the plans it's advancing. the current plan was developed in 2011 and 2012 and approved by this board to go into effe

mr. mahmood. next speaker, please. >> carl, and then brian. >> hello, chairman brinkman and members of the board of directors and director reiskin. my name is brian no, and i handle communications for spin, founded and based right here in san francisco. you may have seen or heard about spin's pamphlets around town, so i wanted to tell you what we're up to and address any questions that you might have. i had actually hoped to bring in one of the scooters that i had with me, but the security people kindly informed me that scooters are not allowed in the building. in less than a year since our very first city, which was seattle, we're now proud to be operating our dockless bike share system in over 50 markets here in the united states. none of this would have been possible had it not been working collaboratively with local governments and other stakeholders, and it's why our entire public policy team has government experience at all levels, including myself. and as we've grown, we've learned that different modes suit different folks, which is why we've really worked hard to bring scooters as spin's next iteration of personal mobilit
