Welcome. There are many meanings of transparency. Im not going to get into all of them today, but im sure there will be many different aspects. Their widely divergent opinions on the successes of the Obama Administration and i hope to explore some of those today. President obama made a number of promises when he was running for president. A number are Still Available on change. Gov. During the course of the administration, new issues came up. Everything from Campaign Finance disclosure to dealin...

Parking meter expansion, a number of other issues that i brought up is that meters do start at 7 a. M. , they start at 7 a. M. At the tenderloin, i want to look at i mean, how much revenue do we generate from that and do we penalize people that cant get rpp in the tenderloin and have to get up earlier to move their cars if fe have a car to get to work which is a lot of our working class family ins the tenderloin, how can we move meters back to 9 a. M. And how can we rethink that evening meters, ...

Placed, like some of my colleagues here, i dont want to be surprised one morning and wake up and theres like about a mile of meters in my district, and i also appreciate the flexibility of director ris k en and all this and working with the board here. I also like supervisor wiener appreciate that were going to move forward with this by using some of the modern technologies available to make it easier for the users to pay for their meters, so thank you very much. Supervisor campos . Thank you, m...

Parking meter proposal. I think we would have to tell the requester of any such proposal that we would need to seek Additional Authority in order to accommodate that, to even consider that. You have three levels of size of meter requests, small being 1 to 50, medium being 50 to 100, did i hear that correctly, and then 100 to 150 would be large . Yes, so those were that was how we tried to develop tiers of enhanced public notification, all of which are enhanced from what we had been doing. But ag...

Item a better item, but i do have a question through the chair to our City Attorney. In terms of the language around the additional 5 thousand single spaced meters, im wondering if the attorney can talk about how finding that language actually is on the mta. Sure. Deputy City Attorney john gibner. The board is approving a contract that authorizes the mta to purchase the 5 thousand additional meters, so in that sense, that piece is binding mta may purchase 5 thousand for optional meters. Supervis...

Clear that in the evening hours when it is dark that meters are still required to be paid for the average person who may not be aware that thats the case. Weve been working closely with the port of San Francisco to try to better coordinate Parking Management generally and they do essentially contract the services up, they make the policy decisions and theyve been 7 days a week, i think 7 a. M. To 11 p. M. For many, many years, so were more for them just an implementing agency, but as we get spec...

To try to better coordinate Parking Management generally and they do essentially contract the services up, they make the policy decisions and theyve been 7 days a week, i think 7 a. M. To 11 p. M. For many, many years, so were more for them just an implementing agency, but as we get specific feedback about issues of signage or anything else, we do communicate and work with the port and wed be happy to work with your office or the offices of the supervisors adjacent to the port for any ways that ...

Board adopted policy with regard to outreach, so to the comments of i dont want to wake up and find a whole bufrnl of parking meters in my district or my neighborhoods which nobody wants to be surprised by new parking meters, we have a process that would inhibit that from happening but ultimately as i said in answer to a previous question, with the limit of 5 thousand, we would not have the capacity within this contract to do anything other than very small kind of spot requests that go through t...

About the policy. That is an improvement in the eyes of most reporters. If you are asking whether the press office or press secretary acted as an advocate on behalf of reporters in terms of access to be president and meetings taking place at the white house, that has not been my experience in this administration. The second half of that question was regarding access to wires. We had seen in previous administrations would be a mystery she would come up with a policy and be excited about it. When ...
