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? JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc@sfgreens.org) http://sfgreens.org/
It's unlikely that I will be available. Sierra Club meeting the same night.

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 John-Marc Chandonia wrote:

By the way I should clarify that the nonprofit/low-income solar program was written and passed by Ross and so the SFPUC staff's defunding proposal is to drain Ross's program in favor of the Mayor's subsidized private solar. Eric Brooks wrote:

Hey all, We really should to meet Monday or Tuesday. The new Board of Supervisors is going to need clear direction from us. I'm planning on meeting with them soon on energy issues. I need more feedback on those issues and more feedback from those of you concerned most with transportation on what we should work for. Can I get responses on which night would be better for each of you for a meeting? Remember that Sue can't make Tuesday. thanks Eric Eric Brooks wrote:

I'm available either day. Monday is actually better since I don't have to work. Your agenda sounds good; if we're planning to discuss the NYC free transit proposal, I found some good info here: http://www.nnyn.org/updates.html JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc@sfgreens.org) http://sfgreens.org/
Ok all. Let's go for Monday at 6:30pm. Eric John-Marc Chandonia wrote:

I can be there and look forward to it. Might need some discussion of the Peak Oil Report, due out soon. I do not have a current draft, as I have not attended a meeting since before the holidays. Perhaps Jeanne can attend, or, if not, provide this list with direction in how this working group can be of help to the committee in its efforts. Don Don
We could take some time for Peak Oil too. I just heard from Woody Hastings that he is likely to join the taskforce. Maybe I can get him to come as well. Don Eichelberger wrote:
