Longer a patrol special. We should talk officer brown and the patrol special who came to the meeting in park station, and so that the community will know who he is and maybe we should have both of them notify the clients if there are any clients in that beat and let them know that there is a possibility of well, let them know that he is no longer a patrol specialist and should not be soliciting business or fees from them. I will do that. Thank you very much. Please call line item number five. Pu...

I wanted to say that goals of this hearing are to really listen to not only the industry of the type of private vehicles but also the regulation currently in police by the California Public Utilities Commissions and how we as a local government can insure that we have common sense local regulations that really look at it and the wild west industry that sprouted up to 3,000 to 4,000 new vehicles on the street at key times in our city and i also wanted to say over the last seven years, uber type o...

Program that the longtime drivers, not the medallion holders, the drivers of the cabs other than the me doll i dont medallion holders will be left out of the deal. I suggest that you reissue those ramp taxi permits as they get turned in by the medallion holders to these longtime drivers. In a manner very similar to what you do with the s permits. This would be issued to drivers on a temporary basis who would then turn around and make their deal with the Cab Companies. Issuing the permits to thes...

I think thats the main thing we want to make sure that we keep the best program in the country [speaker not understood]. And we he keep it that way. Thank you, mr. Oka. Good to see you. Thank you.

Sometime now. Ive addressed that with sfo people on how to handle that. Whats happening is now that we have the 8,000 series and these other vehicles that are being added and i believe youre probably going to see another spike in hybrid medallions, but you do need incentivized drivers who dont have a medallion down the road for them to Still Service that very important community. Ive given a suggestion previously, and im going to bring it again to you. You need to work with the para Transit Coor...

Doesnt preclude the issuance of ramp taxi medallions to drivers in the future, its certainly, certainly points away from it. And i would urge you very strongly. Leave this door of opportunity open for drivers. Too many other doors have been closed to them. I also have to say that i oppose further leasing of medallions. I know that its in the agencys financial interest to do this, but i think that the agencys financial interests too often have been trumping the interest of drivers, the interest o...

On our waiting list. So, whats going to happen is theyll all have the opportunity to purchase a half price medallion at 102,000 each. But when that occurs, those ramp medallions will come back to the city. And what we want to do is allow those grant medallions to keep operating to service our wheelchair clientele. So, what were proposing is and were looking at this for along the future, is the opportunity to allow the mta to lease these grant medallions directly to the companies to ensure that t...

Drive the ramp taxi, to continue driving a ramp taxi is the possibility of gaining a ramp taxi medallion. And although this legislation doesnt preclude the issuance of ramp taxi medallions to drivers in the future, its certainly, certainly points away from it. And i would urge you very strongly. Leave this door of opportunity open for drivers. Too many other doors have been closed to them. I also have to say that i oppose further leasing of medallions. I know that its in the agencys financial in...

Id like to speak at the last. Who is next . Mark gruberg. Mr. Gruberg. Thank you again. Mark gruberg. Id like to echo some of the comments of the previous speakers, particularly mr. Rathbone who is a manager at the company that has the most ramp taxis in the city and has the most to gain from the issuance of ramp taxi medallions to Cab Companies. And yet clearly recognizes the main incentive for a driver to drive the ramp taxi, to continue driving a ramp taxi is the possibility of gaining a ramp...
