[indiscernible] >> chairman nolan: next speaker please? >> i was in the office in my company talking about these alternative vehicles and where the driver said to me, and we are like a third world country, everybody gets in their car and picks people up. if the tax industry goes away, who serves the disabled community? do you think uber will do that? i don't think so. how about people that don't have a smart phone? you are not allowed us to compete. the cab companies are not allowing us to compete. uber is hiring drivers with the app. people are independent contractors but it should be able to use any app they want; we need a universal app engine need help us do this, help us get the tools to compete with these people. if you read the article yesterday, the comments, the public hates taxis, they hate the tv screens in back, they hate the mta, the puc, drivers refuse to take them to the sunset, refuse to take credit cards. where is the enforcement? why are you allowing companies to block our dispatch systems. we need the -- this is model be

>> chairman nolan: all those in favor? opposed? -- >> good evening commissioners. i do not attend last meeting. however your approving them and i was in the august 21 of september 4 meeting, i was wondering why there is an endless culture of misrepresentation of certain verifiable facts. those minutes and that summarize what i stated or submitted. why should these? the omission of relevant data that pertains to taxi service, taxi services, is the dereliction of duty, omission. for special assistance number 12, parliamentarian code 1372, who is supposed to supervise the flow of information, ensure preparation and distribution, ensure the development and proper maintenance of database and files, doesn't this board care about taxi dispatch, driver quality of the confusion over top lights, and the lack of taxi stands? bearing my comments and pc&m survey in the sand can only be construed as a cover-up. would you correct those minutes? >> thank you. >> anyone else care to address the board on the minutes? >> chairman nolan: all

to me what the recourse is. >> chairman nolan: next speaker. good afternoon. >> thank you for your few minutes of your time. i'm here to protest the unilateral change order 20 a contract 50; i work for synergy project management for over seven years, and the acting director of construction. we have completed over 40 s.f. projects, never have to file a claim in an owner until now. we have voluntarily gone out of our way to perform a -- contract, 70 percent ahead of the schedule. after that director reiskin pointed out how sensitive it was for the industry. i have never seen management abuse powers as i've seen on 1250. this forum does not allow the time to review the details; i asked the board to make the decision to act parties to present the case to a neutral party for decision. we want to clarify that the only recourse is a lawsuit; we have already spent 250,000 dollars on attorney consultant these; we would hate to spend another 200,000. synergy is performing other contracts with sfmta, and his partner with sfmta to deliver context of the co

thank you. >> chairman nolan: does anyone else care to address the board? >> peter webb. >> happy thanksgiving. do you really think that this is the way you should be operating our business? i would like to thank dean for coming down here and speaking for drivers. he can say what he says simply because he does not drive a cab anymore. i can talk about tires and lights. i'm not going to. i would like also to thank all the drivers that came here today and cycle the drivers that came here the last time and waited 2-3 hours for one minute conversation, a one-way conversation with deaf ears. cold-blooded was used. i like the words "maggot", the lowest form of creature i do. it can come out of nowhere and suck on dead meat. if you are thriving - if you think the taxi business is thriving and wallowing in money left and right, think again. they say money is the root of all evil. i think we have an epiphany here. is this -- at the least, i think your job is to maintain drivers income so it doesn't go downhill. i surely don't think that is the direction that this in

>> good afternoon chairman nolan. my name is corey -- i am a cab driver. last time we had an important monday night football game. i work those games and special events; that's how we make money on the slow monday night; it is frustrating. about five towne cars, a few taxis. we get in on -- a big line of buses. [indiscernible] we sat there in gridlock -- you have probably 400-500 people after again did want to go home. we were instructed to not pick up anyone on the line or you will get a ticket. i had to tell a few drunk people now. if you like to go into a combat situation to service the public. we want to figure this out. either sfpd or everyone involved, it will not have black towne cars using that road, have to have other access. we have buses with people holding on. they stand. at the cab driver, it is frustrating. >> herbert weiner. why does muni have such a crime rate? because it gets away with murder. [indiscernible] requires physically disabled people to walk quarter of a mile. they ignore the obvious. more buses, more drivers. they propose extra

. >> chairman nolan: - thank you sir. next speaker please. >> secretary boomer: i diane maleck. >> good afternoon, my name is [indiscernible], i have been living in san francisco for 29 years; i respectfully reject this proposal. i have been on the waiting list for almost 14 years. i send you my proposal. here is my proposal. to serve the public we don't need 24/7 cabs in san francisco; please issue 500 big-time medallion, for $50,000 each, it would generate 25 million for the sfmta. when the build of the business on the off-peak time we can work those medallions to the regular medallions for example 100 medallions a year during the course of five years without hurting the business. then you can work the peak time medallion for the regular medallion. then you put 500 peak time medallion, and then you will go to list of 1000 drivers on the medallion waiting list; those of the drivers waited 10 years or more on the waiting list. that way you can stop drivers taking legal action against the sfmta. directors, please help qual

nolan, when i was growing up until country i was surrounded by nolans. you have a great name. i babysat nolans, the first girl i ever kissed was a nolna. you have any decency, any irish in you you will restore hope. especially drivers on the list in their fifties and sixties. some of them can't change a lightbulb. our whole life has gone into this thanks a lot. (applause) >> i have two purposes of speaking, want to clarify the details of the half-price medallion offer; the other is to implore the board to extend the offer to 300 rather than 150 applicants. each medallion moves 1.5 to 2 names; about 500 people can be brought into the fold if you allowed 300. your workers are your greatest asset. is consider forgoing the extra revenue you would get from sharing the other 150 medallions with these drivers and not forgo the goodwill of your workforce. also these people that we have gotten into the fold have proved that they can dodge accident and deal with the public; the previous speakerjerry is a perfect example. he is something like 400 on the list. this is a career worker coun

. >> chairman nolan: will members consent will ask mr. reiskin. thank you, ms. boomer. >> director ramos: i know we are trying to move quickly. one more thing with respect to safety and well-being of some of our employees. i regularly see our fair inspectors out there. they're always telling me horror stories about how they were assaulted, running into issues with increased amount of enforcement. i am wondering if there is some way where we can have maybe staff look into - if not outright - a little bit more awareness building on the part of the riding public and how it is a crime to assault and abuse our fare inspectors. >> chairman nolan: we also received indication from the president of 258 about drivers as well; he was referring to the driver after the world series in the bus, attacked, set on fire. all that mr. reiskin, if you could come back to some point, i look around the country and see what best practices might be there. i am sure that fare inspectors is tough stuff. >> secretary boomer: -- report. >> good afternoon. a few things for you today. first o

. >> chairman nolan: next speaker please. >> good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. i realize this is totally pointless but i have to say my piece. we you don't care. your are cold-blooded the way you treat people. i live in san francisco 43 years and taxi driver for 23 years; we are treated like garbage by everybody. for god's sake, look at the tradition of taxidrivers; i have been waiting list for 17 years, number 90. i'm 66 years old. i cannot buy a taxi because it would not give me alone. you virtually single-handedly all of you ruined my life. i got sick the other day and i realized, if i get sick i have nothing. i will lose everything. i will be on the street. you always come in and give awards to different muni drivers and people; you never even recognize a cab driver who is done good service to the city. never even recognize it. we are like second-class citizens to you. we have said basically that's the way we are. we have always been that way to you people, to everybody in san francisco. san francisco has a tradition. they voted for us to get 3 medallions. a

. >> chairman nolan: members of the board, questions or comments? >> congratulations on the play street grant. i know this board and the public in general has shown his huge appetite for speeding up transit and director reiskin, -- getting to the on-time goal is challenging if not impossible. (off mic) (off mic) we are looking at expanding it in other areas to have transit running in a reliable and timely a manner as possible. >> chairman nolan: on the director support, any members of the public have comments? >> thank you for that. first i would like to thank you for opening up stock industry. that's been a big problem for taxis and commuters. anybody who drives a car will love that. san francisco park - that has big-time rates, right? the bridge has peak time rates. hotels have peak time rates, called dinner-time. why not taxis? it was astonishing to me to find out that chris hyoshi did not know what the extra buttons on the meter were for. that can be set by time. same at 12 o'clock, who want to discourage traffic. at eight in the morning the pre

. >> chairman nolan: thank you for the public comment. consent calendar. >> [indiscernible] >> chairman nolan: motion, second. all those in favor? aye. >> item 13, amending transportation code section, 1109, 1109, 113, 1114, to extend the deadline for implementation of electronic trip data and backseat passenger information. >> director -- >> chairman nolan: -- how does the universal app fit into this? >> we have issued a uniform solicitation rfi for the development of the system that will pull real-time information from all the dispatch services that will basically provide the framework for the creation of a universal app so that just as members of the public have said, people through an app, developed by third-party, would have his ability into all the taxis out there. i concur wholly but that is something absolutely needed, probably the single most important thing we need to do to strengthen our taxi industry. we have issued that rfi; responses were due on november 30th, we may have extended that a bit. the belief is that based on the

you should go back and figure out what the nolan family really means. they will be a challenge to what you did. this is not funded yet and yet you decided to shut the door on the taxidrivers. i'm glad that is him hyoshi is back; it a great job running the meetings. (applause) glad that director rubke showed to listen to what happened, and i hope you have a summary of what occurred of the town hall meetings. if you don't have a summary, she failed you in that way. director reiskin, you know that most of the people left in the afternoon session after this out there were getting this proposal shoved down their throat or put up their you know what. i don't fault christian hyoshi for that. the only thing a fault is that there should have been alterations to the proposal and we should have copies here. we should have lots of copies of the presentations presented by staff; when this comes up, we don't get to see copies at the meeting. this is what we call a shondic [sounds like] not something good about what your staff has done to us. 99.9% of the meetings i a
