supervisor preston. >> supervisor preston: thank you, president walton. i just wanted to ask on just following up on some of the public comment iffed the department of public health had any guidance, i believe it was mr. chriswell raised the questions about feeling the lack of confidence at the testing sites because of some of the fake testing sites out there. so if there's any update or any information on what to look for in deciding whether to trust a testing site, i think that's an important thing to address. >> president walton: thank you, dr. colfax. >> i'm pleased to say we do have an update and our health officer, dr. susan phillips has been addressing this issue. >> thank you, dr. colfax and thank you, supervisor preston. yes. there are two ways in which we are approaching this. we do feel this is a really important issue. we want the public to be able to trust the test sites that are in place in san francisco and we don't want unscrupulous and rogue site collections setting up so the city attorney's office as you all have seen is following up as

supervisor preston. >> supervisor preston: thank you, president walton. and, i will just start by saying that the conversation so far certainly has not reassured me in any way that there's any real plan here other than police engagement and a vague commitment to some kind of linkage, undefined linkage center for which we have virtually no details whatsoever. i think, you know, and i appreciate some of the comments by supervisor haney and supervisor ronen around the really serious and unique challenges and i think we all agree that every tenderloin resident needs to be safe and there's a need for urgent action and that need is not new. there has been an urgent need for years especially so i think we're all united on that. i think the administration and the board is united on that. i have a different view of what we've in terms of this plan and i think it's really sad that the roll out of the mayor's plan to the extent there is one and this emergency declaration has in my view been a publicity stunt designed to address rise in pieces from around the nation

i don't know if supervisor preston does. sounds like he may not. >> supervisor peskin: madam chair, i would just like to as i said earlier, i do have some amendments to the resolution that is item number three on our calendar and i know we haven't had public comment yet. so maybe i will save my questions and comments for the sfmta until after public comment. >> chairman: okay. sounds good. madam clerk, let's go to public comment on this item. >> clerk: thank you, madam chair. if you would like to be part of the queue, please press star three to be added to the speaker line. for those already on hold, thank you for holding and please continue to wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted and you may begin your comments. so it looks like we have 17 listeners with 12 in the queue. so if you can unmute the first caller, please. >> caller: good afternoon. absolutely nobody should be riding scooters on sidewalks and pedestrians and people with disabilities need safety. but the basic problem here is not permit conditions
