So please come up and tell us why you want to continue to serve the President.

Good morning.

Uh greetings to you and thank you for having me, Chair Walton, Vice Chair Cheryl, and President Mandelman.

My name is Dominica Henderson, and I appreciate this opportunity to be able to share a few thoughts about my experience as I seek reappointment to the SFMTA Board of Directors.

I come to you today with the experience of a very committed affordable housing and community building uh professional.

Uh also as someone who was born and raised in San Francisco by public servants, including a retired muni operator.

Um as a weekend restaurant worker in my family business on third street as a commuter and a transit writer every day.

Um and as an aspiring bike rider and of course as a current SFMTA board member.

As I reflect on the past few years that I served on the board, there were many challenges that we had to overcome.

Um and I'm proud to have been part of the agency's achievements to launch microtransit like the baby shuttle, um, to increase ridership on the 22, um, to exceed pre-pandemic levels, and even you know, I'm proud of some of the lessons that we learned from some of the mistakes or the revisits that we had to make on street improvement projects and quick build projects in different neighborhoods.

Yesterday at the CalTrain naming ceremony, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said that transportation is transformation.

And even during this time of fiscal uncertainty and um difficulty financially for MTA, I'm really excited at the chance to continue to work to use transportation as a transformation tool for neighborhoods and communities in San Francisco to help continue the evolution of this city and the resurgence of this city.

And I know that now more than ever this role as a board member comes with hard decisions, and but it also brings about the opportunity to deliver impactful tangible results and solutions to many of the challenges that we face every day.

And so I look forward to being a partner to you all supervisors and also to the community to be able to continue the good work and hopefully um see a very much stronger and uh more efficient SFMTA.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Director Henderson, and we will now go to public comment on this item, seeing nothing from my colleagues.

Yes, members of the public wish to speak on this item.

She's like speak at this time.

Each speaker will be allowed two minutes.

Are there any members of the public who would like to comment on this matter?

There are no speakers.

Thank you.

Public comment is now closed.

And I just want to say one thank you to Director Henderson for a continued willingness to serve.

Uh there's a lot of obviously concerns that we have moving forward, MTA, particularly dealing with budget deficits as we move forward.

Uh, and appreciate you willing to step up at this hard time.

Uh, also just want to thank you as someone who I know uh is a true member of community and does actually spend time uh on riding muni and and time in community talking about people's concerns with MTA.

So I want to appreciate you for that.

And I'd like to make a motion to amend item one and remove rejecting, leave approving, and send forward to the pool board with recommendation.

Yes, and a motion to amend and recommend as amend it.

Mr.

Clerk, please call item number two.

Item number two is a motion approving and rejecting the mayor's nomination for the reappointment of Stephanie Kajina to the municipal transportation agency board of directors for a term ending March 1st, 2030.

Thank you so much.

And I know that Director Kajina is here.

And would you please come up and tell us why you want to continue to serve.

Thank you so much.

Good morning, Chair Walton and members of the rules committee.

Thank you for the opportunity for me to be here today.

I'm honored to be considered for reappointment to the SFMTA board of directors where I currently serve as Vice Chair.

I want to begin by thanking Mayor Laurie for this nomination and his continued trust to my leadership.

It has been a privilege to serve the residents of San Francisco in this role, helping guide an agency that so many people rely on every day.

Public transportation is more than a system.

It is a lifeline.

It connects our communities to opportunity, to education, to health care, and to each other.

And it must work for everyone.

That commitment is personal to me.

I am a proud Latina and the first Latina to serve on the SFMTA board of directors.

It's crazy that it took this long, but yes, I am the first.

And I carry that commitment with a deep responsibility and intention.

Today, approximately 28% of the SFMTA's ridership is Latinx.

That is not just a stat.

It reflects families, workers, students, and small business owners who rely on a system that must be reliable, safe, and equitable.

My role has been to ensure that their voices and the voices of all historically underserved communities are reflected in our decisions, our investments, and our priorities.

During my tenure, I have focused on advancing equity, strengthening accountability, and supporting a transportation system that meets the needs of a growing and evolving city.

There is still important work ahead.

Improving um service reliability, addressing safety concerns, and ensuring financial sustainability while keeping equity at the center and the forefront of our decisions.

If reappointed, I will remain committed to advancing equity, improving reliability, and supporting a transportation system can depend on.

Thank you for your consideration, and I welcome any questions from the committee.

Thank you so much, Director.

And seeing no questions or comments from colleagues, Mr.

Clerk, please call for public comment.

Mr.

Clerk, please call item number three.

Item number three is a motion approving rejecting the mayor's nomination for the appointment of Eric Dasmalchi to the Treasurer Island Development Authority Board of Directors, term ending February 26, 2030.

Thank you so much.

And I believe Eric is here this morning.

Thank you.

And please tell us about yourself and why you want to serve.

I'd be on too.

Good morning, Chair Walton, members of the rules committee.

My name is Eric Dasmalci, I'm one of the mayor's nominees to the Treasury Island Development Authority Board of Directors.

I grew up in the Bay Area and for a long time I've been interested in cities and the environment in transportation and you know in the way all those fields interact and have very real impact issues like affordability and quality of life.

I went to UC Berkeley for undergrad, majoring in urban studies and also Japanese language, spent some time in Los Angeles, received a master's degree in urban and regional planning from UCLA.

And after about six years in Los Angeles, I um moved back to the Bay Area and actually moved um to Treasure Island in August 2024.

Partially for very human reasons.

You know, I wanted uh open space, I wanted clean air, but also because I was aware of the development plan and you know honestly impressed by the vision to build a community that is sustainable, that is equitable, that serves current and future San Franciscans in all of our diversity.

It has been so exciting to meet my neighbors, whether they're new arrivals or longtime island residents, including at community events hosted by one Treasure Island.

Um it's been great to see infrastructure like Cityside Park be completed, um, see folks out there enjoying it.

I've attended multiple TITA meetings and um also try and you know keep up with um what's going on at TIDA by reading the board reports and planning documents.

I know that planning process continues.

There's a you know a proposal to um increase uh substantially the number of units planned for the island, actually.

Um but I also know that you know it's time to treat Treasure Island like a neighborhood on the mainland, you know, to make sure we're providing public goods and city services at the same level in the rest of San Francisco, and I look forward to finding opportunities to do that.

Um I also know there's opportunities to, you know, increase the pace of implementation for the island's transportation plan.

Um I too rely on public transit at took me to get here today.

Um and you know, it is a lifeline for island residents.

Um, but it's also just essential to you know, potentially housing 20,000, 30,000 people on a one square mile island with you know highly constrained transportation infrastructure.

Um so I look forward to the opportunity to work with and learn from TIDA staff as well as across city departments to help you know turn these plans into reality, so look forward to uh the chance to work with the Board of Supervisors.

Um so you know, thank you so much for your consideration and I'd be honored to serve.

Thank you, Eric.

I do have one question and I'll be asking the same question of our next candidate.

How do you feel about tolls for residents?

Um well, first of all, as I understand there there is a toll exemption in place for longtime residents.

But setting that aside, um, you know, for future residents, I think you know, tolling is a commitment made um in the planning process.

It's in the environmental impact report.

Um, you know, in my view, it is fairly mandatory.

And also just, you know, knowing what I know from studying transportation, it is an essential tool to manage demand.

You know, we have a single-lane, single-lane roadway to get off the island.

If you know everyone's making that trip by private car every time, um, you know, it's not it wouldn't be a good experience for any for anybody.

So, you know, I I want to make sure we have the transit, I want to make sure we have other options.

And I also know that, you know, when people are sitting in traffic, that time disappears.

Um, you know, can't use it for anything.

When people pay a toll, that creates revenue, and it's revenue that you know can and should be you know reinvested in transit transportation options or you know, indeed just given to people who would have trouble affording affording the toll so that you know if they need to drive, they can get where they need to go.

So, you know, I do I do support tolling, but I'm you know well aware of the equity concerns and uh you know we'll work to make sure we implement it in the most equitable way possible.

Thank you.

I I definitely hope that um looking at alternatives for resources other than taxing people just to get home.

Right.

And taxing people to go to and from work is something that um is always prioritized when when we have this conversation.

President Med Oh no.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Uh Mr.

Clerk, no more questions.

Would you please call for public comment?

Yes, members of the public wishes to speak on this item.

Should I speak at this time?

Each speaker will be allowed two minutes.

Hi, my name is Lauren.

Um I've known Eric for seven years.

I went to school with him at UCLA.

And I found him to be a not only deeply knowledgeable but very curious uh classmate.

He either immediately knew the answers to everything or by the next morning knew the answer.

Um as a resident of Treasure Island, I have been really impressed by his ability not only to enmesh himself in the community, but also become um almost like a uh historian and local advocate.

Um so I just wanted to speak um to approving and endorsing his qualification for this position.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning, supervisors, Jane Natoli.

Uh I've gotten to know Eric as a volunteer, and I'm here to speak in support of his nomination.

I've seen him share his enthusiasm and his passion for Treasure Island.

I think that's exactly the kind of fit we need on this sort of body.

Uh he'll bring that energy.

He's been a huge, huge booster of trying to get people out to the island uh to experience what's going on.

And I know he'll care about that future and and the future residents as well as the current residents.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are there any other speakers on this matter?

There are no additional speakers.

Thank you.

So speakers' public comment is now closed.

President Mendelman.

Thank you, Chair Walton.

The topic of tolling generally and tolling at Treasure Island, it seems I've I've been on this board now for and the Transportation Authority Board for nearly eight years.

One, of course, is the commitment the city made that that was going to be part of our environmental strategy.

It of course is not going to work to have everyone trying to drive on and off the island if we are going to build it out at the scale that we want.

We've seen in other places that congestion pricing can be a tool, but it is a hard tool to make work.

Well, it actually can be a good tool and it can be used equitably if you're you if you're using the revenue that is generated from the tolling for equitable purposes.

But uh it's been a very hard thing to do at Treasure Island, and I do think that if the conversation is going to continue and we're going to spend as continue to spend or future generations of supervisors are going to spend as much time talking about tolling on the island as as we have.

I think it you know somehow a decision is going to have to get made about how to how to handle congestion on the island.

At any rate, I am you know I think that Eric Dismalchi will be uh excellent addition uh to the TIDA board of directors, and I want to thank him for his willingness to serve.

I want to thank the folks who came out to speak on his behalf.

And I would like to make a motion uh striking or strike rejecting and keep approving um his appointment and from uh and forward that amended motion to the full board with positive recommendation Yes on the motion to amend to approve the appointment and to recommend as amend it.

Vice Chair Sherrill.

Sure.

I member Madam and I, Chair Walton.

Aye.

Walton I that motion passes without objection.

Thank you.

Motion carries.

Congratulations.

Mr.

Clerk, would you please call item number four?

Item number four is a motion approving rejecting the mayor's nomination for the appointment of Timothy Koja Minta to the Treasury Island Development Authority Board of Directors, term ending April 28th, 2030.

Thank you.

And I see Timothy is here with us.

If you could come up and tell us about yourself and why you want to serve in this capacity.

Good morning, uh Chair Walden.

Uh President Mellon and Supervisor Cheryl.

Uh it's a pleasure to be here today.

Thank you for this opportunity.

Um just uh a little bit of background about myself.

Uh I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, actually.

Uh my parents are both from Ghana.

Um, but I've been in the city for about 21 years now.

Um I studied at the at the University of Pennsylvania, got my bachelor's degree in economics, and then I uh I got my master's of science degree uh in local economic development at Alumna School of Economics.

Uh so you know, really you know, my passion for economic development goes way back, right?

With the first time I went to Ghana with my mom, I saw the disparity uh and living standards, and I really just wanted to understand it and hopefully be able to make an impact someday in some way uh on on that front.

So um my career actually took me into uh tech.

Uh I work for Adobe, uh lead a team of sales engineers, uh we focus on data products, but but I always sort of had a passion for giving back, right?

I think it's just the way I was raised.

So you know, I moved here.

Uh I immediately uh joined Big Brother Big Sister, and uh I was a big brother for 10 years.

Um really wonderful experience and helped me understand uh so the the more uh underserved communities of San Francisco and and be able to make an impact in my small way there.

Um while I was doing that, I actually uh felt like I had a bit more bandwidth to help out.

So that's when I actually joined uh the board of Urban Services YMCA.

Um my friend and colleague uh Manny Rodriguez is here.

He was he's on the why.

He is he was leading the board from the wise perspective.

And so um that was a great experience because you know I I got to get a little deeper into uh uh sort of the underserved communities in the city and and understand you know their workings and and I was able to make an impact on that front through the nonprofit sector.

And um I actually uh most recently uh joined the board of uh it's called Scholars for Educational Educational Opportunity, SEO scholars.

Um similarly, you know, I I mentored uh two uh juniors in high school.

And uh and so being able to mentor them and also serve on the board uh was a great experience as well.

Again, just trying to make an impact in the in the ways I I'm able uh for the city.

Um then you know beyond beyond that, uh I've also uh uh had uh a passion for really trying to uh support candidates that I I think uh can make a difference in terms of uh you know the development of the city.

So I I did some campaigning for David Chu a while back and uh and also for President Biden, that was sort of a side thing, and then most recently Mayor Lurie.

Um and so you know, w when I spoke to the mayor uh after after his his victory, uh he basically said, you know, I I'm looking for good people to help implement my agenda, and uh and I wrote raised my hand, I said yes, I I would love to.

And so uh ultimately that led me to where we are today for the TIDA uh board nomination.

And really it I think what it comes down to is I'm excited about this opportunity because it brings together uh multiple aspects of of my background, right?

The academic uh uh background in economic growth and development, uh the the uh the community service aspect, being able to to make an impact on a specific community in the city, and then also just my uh my knowledge of of uh City Hall through the mayor and understanding how to get get things done and how to work as a liaison liaison between the board of supervisors and and the and and TIDA itself.

So again, I just want to say thank you for this opportunity to be here today and uh and I want to thank Major Lurry as well, obviously.

Thank you so much.

And I do have actually two questions for you.

The first one is how do you feel about tolls for residents on the island?

Yeah, so um when I was in London, uh they actually implemented a uh congestion charge.

I I remember that uh previously is interesting.

Um there's a lot of pushback because of uh uh the impact it had on the lower income residents, right?

And uh I remember that visceral reaction.

I remember the protests, and I remember you know just just hearing a lot about it.

And um so my gut reaction is I am not really leaning towards the idea of uh of a toll uh just because of the disproportionate impact it has on on lower income communities.

But having said that, I think it's uh it's an issue that I really want to study in depth and understand every aspect of it before before coming to a full conclusion.

Well, no, I I appreciate that, and again, I hope that you know everyone is looking at alternatives.

Uh too had a chance to go to London and study their model and also in Sweden.

And it definitely worked in London for a while, but in actuality, after a while, people just figured it out and started paying the toe too, and it didn't really help with congestion in the long term.

But um definitely appreciate your response.

You also talked about your great respect for the mayor and being appointed by the mayor.

Are you wanting to serve in this capacity for the mayor or for the residents of Treasure Island and the residents of San Francisco?

Uh it it's for the residents of the island.

I I I'm I'm grateful for the opportunity that the mayor has provided me, but ultimately it comes down to being able to make an impact on the community.

And actually, I have a uh a friend of mine, uh boys, who uh she is a business owner on the island.

She owns a restaurant called Mersey, and uh I've spent a good amount of time with her over the last couple of months getting to understand uh you know, works of the island, her her personal story, uh but but also from business perspective, you know, you know what it what it takes, how she interacts with Tyler Board and whatnot.

And ultimately it's um I'm here because I I care about making an impact uh on the people of the city.

Not it's not it's not really the mayor.

I'm just grateful for the opportunity that the mayor provided me for this.

Thank you so much.

And I don't see any questions or comments from colleagues, so we will go to public comment.

Thank you.

Yes, members of the public who should speak on this item.

Should I end up speak at this time?

Each speaker will be allowed two minutes.

Morning.

Good morning, supervisors.

My name is Benwell Rodriguez.

I am the associate vice president of government relations at YMC of San Francisco, and I serve as a member of our juvenile probation commission.

Um 30 years San Francisco resident, and I'm here to endorse Kojo's candidacy for the TITA uh TITA Authority, TITA Board.

Excuse me.

Known Co Kojo since about 2012 to about 2016 when he served on the Urban Services Board of Directors.

At that time, KOJO was instrumental with our fundraising support, strategic messaging, as well as uh you heard some things that he mentioned, getting connected to community and actually engaged with a lot of the residents and a lot of the community that urban services and the YMCA of San Francisco works with.

Uh when he told me that he was going to be nominated for this uh uh for TIDA, I was excited and I was willing more than happy to come out and support his candidacy.

YMC of San Francisco works with TIDA uh doing community work on the island, helping the residents and families of Treasure Island to create opportunities, academic education as well as enrichment opportunities like swimming at an embarkador YMCA as well as other field trips.

So I'm here to support Kojo's candidacy for TITA.

And if you have any questions, happy to answer them.

Thank you so much.

Hello.

Um my name's Me Sun Boyce.

Um I'm here to endorse uh the candidacy for Kojo.

Um recent friend.

Uh he's uh come to my restaurant.

I'm the owner of Mersey Restaurant on Treasure Island.

We have been there uh as of January eight years.

Um I found it refreshing that in the last couple months that he actually reached out to the small businesses on the island.

Um I think that oftentimes, you know, the the project is amazing and the development's been amazing, and I have been a supporter of the growth of the island and then pretty much invested my life savings and all the equity in my house to build that business, uh a little restaurant built out of 14 shipping containers.

But I think that by reaching out to the small business owners of Treasure Island, like us, Aerosellies and and Abdo with the grocery store.

Not only is he supporting the legacy and understanding what it is that we need as a small business, the small businesses on any any community on Treasure Island, especially.

Um well, in seven years going on our eight years, we have been in business, we have supported the community in multiplicity of ways.

Um right after the pandemic, uh we partnered with one Treasure Island to provide 200 meals every week for a year for free um for the island residents.

Um so we want to support our community.

That's one of the reasons I wanted to be involved on Treasure Island because I grew up in Kansas in a small town and I believe in that restaurants are small communities, and we supported uh the uh Coast Guard uh when they were government shutdown.

We fed the enlistees, we provided 50 desks for all the kids on the island during the pandemic.

Um I could go on and uh I've hired 60% of my staff are all Treasure Island residents.

They're part of the Health Right 360 program.

I've hired staff from Job Corps.

In fact, one of them is now leading my kitchen when he graduated, and he's been with us since seven years that we've been open.

Um so as I uh by supporting the small businesses, we're able to support the residents.

So that's how I hope that Kojo will.

Sorry, thank you.

I didn't see the clock.

Good morning, Supervisor Walton, Cheryl and Mandelman.

My name is Linda Fedicki Richardson, and I am the president of Treasure Island Development Authority.

Want to thank um Mayor Lowry for nominating Eric and Kojo to Treasure Island Development Authority, and thank you for your support of both of them.

And I just want to today again um come in to give my support and let everybody know that um there are the additions to Treasure Island board of directors that we are ready and to move the project forward.

Uh Treasure Island development is driving San Francisco economy.

And throughout the year, I know I'm gonna have the opportunity to come back to let you know what we are doing.

We are building housing in on Treasure Island, and we have made your announcement that we'll be making a couple of months.

And it of as far as transportation, you all have been very supportive.

And we're gonna be looking at alternatives and ways that we can get um people to on it for the island.

So I'm just here again to give my colleagues uh shout out and to encourage you all to continue to help us, and we will you and I, you know me, I'm around town and all the supervisors, and I will be coming at some point uh to give you an update on the great things that are happening on the island.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Uh my name is Aya Lancey Denman.

I am a proud resident of San Francisco.

I've lived here for over 20 years, and I've known Kojo for over a decade, and I can speak to his both personal and professional passion for the city and now the broader city, um, which includes Treasure Island.

Um I'm a florist, so I am a working member of proud working member of San Francisco.

I don't make tech money, and I'm a passionate believer in especially affordable housing, uh, which I know Treasure Island is is a big part of.

So I can definitely speak to his passion and uh and qualification for the position.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Please call item number five, Mr.

Clerk.

Item number five is a motion approving or rejecting the mural reappointment of Anna Van Dagna to the redevelopment successor agency oversight board, term ending January 24th, 2030.

Thank you, and I believe Anna is here.

Would you please come up and tell us why you want to continue to serve?

Good morning, uh Chair Walton, President Mandelman and Supervisor Cheryl.

Thank you for considering my reappointment to OCI's oversight board.

My name is Anna Vandegna, and I currently serve as the city's public finance director.

I've had the privilege of serving on the Oversight Board since 2020.

And my current job, one of my primary responsibilities is to oversee the administration and issuance of the city's general fund and tax pack debt.

Prior to joining the city, I spent the majority of my career as a banker assisting public agencies across California with the issuance of municipal debt.

In both roles, I gained experience in redevelopment financing through work with former redevelopment agencies and newer infrastructure financing districts.

The Oversight Board plays a supporting role in the broader dissolution process.

We approve the annual recognized obligation payment schedule or ROPS before it is submitted to the state, and we review the proposed issuance of tax increment debt and modifications to enforceable obligations.

In doing so, we help ensure that the commitments of the former redevelopment agency are carried out responsibly and transparently for both the holders of the enforceable obligations as well as the taxing entities that are entitled to receive the residual revenues.

As a longtime resident of San Francisco, I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this work in a small but meaningful way, particularly as it supports affordable housing and advances key development projects to strengthen San Francisco's economy.

If reappointed, I look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve in this capacity, and I'd be happy to answer any questions today.

Thank you so much.

I don't see any questions from colleagues.
