Amendment number four. It deals with requirements for pilot disposal. And let me say first, dr. Coburn, anything you would like to say . Okay. Bob, if you are ready. There is an effort here to see if they can expose excess property. I have had questions as to why it is in the bill, but that is where the majority is and maybe even more. I want to make sure local governments are notified of proposed disposal property inside a local governments jurisdiction. So this amendment, which i understand has been accepted, will require local governments be notified of any properties in the jurisdiction which are made part of the expedited Pilot Program.

The Pilot Program was established under real proper legislation and it is incorporated into the this proposal the direct of the Surplus Properties will be disposed of into the program and any Agency Looking to di

Let me say that again. The modification makes clear that the Postal Service Must Immediately begin implementing any changes recommended in the reports. This amendment would have a group of experts look at this issue before recommending what, if any changes to current law would be prudent. It recommends the bureau of inspection services, the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, and the department of justice submit reports to the house and senate regarding the security changes, if any, that need to be made across the country should the carrying of firearms consistent with state law be allowed on Postal Properties or inside postal offices. My amendment then requires the postmaster general to submit a report to the committees of jurisdiction in the house and senate for the cost estimates of the security changes and whether these would necessitate facility closures or relocations. The postmaster general would also be required to make recommendations regarding the feasibility of amendin
Ago at 17th and tejaro the Police Department moved into the facility there and getting that particular building up to speed, the entire infrastructure had to be replaced because all the copper and electronics had been stripped from the building.

Without objection . Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor cohen. Mr. Clerk, can you call the last item . Item no. 6 is a hearing on the municipal transportation quarterly progress on increasing and improving tax service. Scott wiener. About a year ago i submitted a hearing request to request quarterly updates from the Municipal Transportation Agency about taxi service in San Francisco and efforts to reform and improve our taxi system. If we are ever to become truly a transit first system, muni, those critically important, will never be enough by itself. We also have to have in addition to great biking and ability for people to walk around safely, we need to have car sharing and very importantly we need to have a world class taxi system. We currently do not have enough taxis in San Francisco. Taxi service is not where it needs to be. People still have incredible trouble getting a cab, whether they are visiting the city, whether they are living in the city, and if we want people to
