Here are some proposed agenda items:

On Transportation

- Leveraging Obama stimulus dollars for mass transit
- Averting a likely fare increase and Muni's growing disrespect for transit riders (especially disabled riders)
- MTA increasing fare inspectors instead of revenues - and our need to act to get the new supes on our side right away for a -big- revenue boost to Muni (with concurrent build out) with no fare increases
- The BART police shooting of passengers and the general morphing of local transit into a Homeland Security police state (and what to do about this) (Ammiano and Yee have proposed legislation re BART police.)
- The New York City proposal for free mass transit and how we might apply it to SF

On Sustainability

- The Mayor bailing on the SFPUC biofuels program to subsidize a huge private biofuel factory which will turn animal agricultural products into biodiesel and will be run by the largest multinational rendering corporation (Darling International) which has a long history of illegal polluting and ignoring local laws.
- Sophie Maxwell's measure to close the Mirant plant and replace it with a clean energy program that adopts the Prop H clean energy benchmarks. (This needs to be extensively amended and we need to meet on it as an action item.)
- SFPUC's appointment of a former PG&E employee to run the Community Choice project and making making sure that LAFCo does not wimp out and accept this which there is a danger of, and so keeping Community Choice on track and strong, which suddenly seems very uncertain
- SFPUC staff's move to defund the nonprofit/low-income portion of the Mayor's solar program and increase private subsidies

(Keep in mind the 20th is inauguration day.)
    

I'm available, on the off chance that I don't get transported bodily into
heaven when the Messiah takes office.

What's on the agenda?
