SANDAG's executive committee discussed Hasan Ikhrata's performance review behind closed doors.
“I find it really offensive that our SANDAG wants to charge us more to be on the road when we haven’t even made our public transportation more accessible," said one who was specifically against a proposed road user charge that Ikhrata supports.
But there were others who applauded what they said was a better leadership and management style under Ikhrata, along with what they see as a serious approach to meeting climate change goals. “Prior to Hasan, SANDAG was rife with corruption and now we’re seeing a lot more transparency and public involvement and engagement and I think that’s the right direction to go," said a supporter of Ikhrata.“I want more of the direction that SANDAG’s going in, more transparency, more emphasis on public transit. You can fix roads, sure, but I want a break from the status quo, please," said another.
Though the item on the agenda said the executive committee would discuss Ikhrata’s performance, that didn’t happen in public. The committee members voted to have that discussion in executive session, in other words, in private. Whatever they decide will be presented to the full SANDAG Board of Directors at their March 24 meeting. At that point, more may be known about Ikhrata’s future as head of SANDAG.
