1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:10,360
All right. Welcome, everyone, to board meeting for Connect Transit. Today is August 26, 2026. We're going to start with

2
00:00:16,890 --> 00:00:25,710
of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation

3
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:30,210
under her own high, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

4
00:00:36,130 --> 00:00:39,930
Hope everyone said a good summer, and kids and grandkids back to school.

5
00:00:40,870 --> 00:00:44,390
Things are going well for everyone.

6
00:00:44,390 --> 00:00:48,210
Hey, so everyone should have the consent agenda.

7
00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:52,890
That includes the approval of the agenda for tonight's evening

8
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:56,950
and the approval of the minutes for our last board meeting

9
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:58,950
and the workshop that we had.

10
00:00:59,590 --> 00:01:05,610
So those were held on June 24th, 2026 and July 16th, 2026.

11
00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:10,310
Our next meeting is going to be September 23rd.

12
00:01:10,990 --> 00:01:15,410
And I have a motion to accept the consent agenda and approve some minutes.

13
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,800
I move to the next second.

14
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,700
Okay.

15
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:23,220
Thank you.

16
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,560
Glad makes motion.

17
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,900
And Mike made the second.

18
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,700
Uh, any discussion?

19
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,300
Everything is located.

20
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,400
Hey, all in favor?

21
00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:35,120
Please say aye.

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:35,780
Aye.

23
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:37,060
Any opposed?

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,780
I don't know.

25
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:41,460
Do we have anyone from public?

26
00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:45,220
All right.

27
00:01:45,220 --> 00:01:48,020
Then let's go on, move on to board business.

28
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Do we have a piece?

29
00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:56,020
So Peter Soderberg with Nelson Mangard,

30
00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:59,260
he's going to give us an update on the planning study.

31
00:02:01,220 --> 00:02:02,020
Hey, Peter.

32
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:03,240
All right.

33
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:03,820
Hey, everyone.

34
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:05,040
Thanks again for having me.

35
00:02:05,460 --> 00:02:06,620
Good to see you all.

36
00:02:07,420 --> 00:02:09,220
Quick agenda for this update.

37
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:11,060
I think this should be relatively brief,

38
00:02:11,060 --> 00:02:14,300
but going to start by recapping the workshop that we did last month,

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,600
weighing some of the service planning trade-offs

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,980
and prioritization exercises that we went through.

41
00:02:20,780 --> 00:02:23,360
Using that to dovetail into a little bit of a reminder

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,500
of some of the identified priorities that we have

43
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:27,380
from some of our existing conditions work,

44
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,660
as well as what we've heard from transit riders,

45
00:02:29,660 --> 00:02:31,740
as well as general members of the community

46
00:02:31,740 --> 00:02:33,140
during our phase one of engagement.

47
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:37,540
We'll then talk about the initial draft prioritization framework

48
00:02:37,540 --> 00:02:39,860
that we've developed as a result of all this engagement.

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,660
We'll run through how we intend to use that prioritization framework

50
00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:45,740
and then we'll turn it over for a little bit of discussion

51
00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:50,920
and let you all weigh in about how you feel about our initial draft prioritization framework,

52
00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:56,020
what you think about the specific priorities we have identified, and the other metrics that we

53
00:02:56,020 --> 00:03:00,400
have to help evaluate those priorities. And then again, we'll end just by touching on some of our

54
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:07,160
next steps for where we go from here. So to start with a quick update on or recap rather of last

55
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,600
month's workshop, this was really about getting all the board members engaged in actively balancing some

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,860
of the different priorities and trade-offs that were forced to make over service planning

57
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:16,340
decisions.

58
00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:21,460
So as a reminder, or an update for those of you who weren't able to make it, we split

59
00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:26,440
into two groups and created our own new hypothetical transit network in a fictional city.

60
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:30,840
And this is designed to really test competing priorities with a limited budget.

61
00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:34,960
So we know that we intentionally design this game so that we don't have enough resources

62
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:38,240
to provide all of the services for everyone who could need them.

63
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,220
And instead, we have to look at balancing some of those resources and identifying where

64
00:03:43,220 --> 00:03:46,520
our priorities really lie when we're faced with those budget resources.

65
00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:51,220
And what we found is that generally, both networks were pretty balanced that the groups

66
00:03:51,220 --> 00:03:51,860
came up with.

67
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,520
One had a little bit more frequency and somewhat less geographic coverage, whereas the other

68
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,500
one had more coverage, but the most frequent routes were only every 30 minutes.

69
00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:06,560
So really, what our takeaway from this exercise was is that balancing coverage and frequency

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:20,000
are very important to board and generally looking at frequency where it could work well is a strong consideration but not necessarily at the expense of losing coverage across the system, particularly for those who might need it most.

71
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:33,000
As we went through this exercise, we kind of leaned into different priorities that we've heard, both through public, writers as well as board members, and some of those top priorities were later evening service, more weekend service,

72
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,340
Again, balancing service frequency and coverage to make sure that services available for most

73
00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:43,720
people, but is really high performance where it can support that level of frequency, looking

74
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,400
at opportunities for service to new destinations, exploring new service models, so things like

75
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,880
expanding pool service and micro transit type service, as well as looking at more multi-hub

76
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,380
instead of the single hub and spoke model that's currently being used, and finding ways

77
00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:00,280
to attract new riders to the system.

78
00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:06,620
And as we'll show on the next slide, these are all generally in alignment with what we've been hearing from rioters and community members.

79
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:21,340
So this is a slide we've shown before, but just wanted to present kind of our key findings again from our Facebook engagement that generally what we've heard from rioters in the community is that connect transit is supporting their needs and working well for them right now.

80
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,200
When we did ask what could make Connect Transit work better, we typically heard later evening

81
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,760
service, more weekend service, and more frequent service as the most requested improvements,

82
00:05:31,260 --> 00:05:34,880
but there are also some opportunities to improve general efficiency and effectiveness through

83
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,560
some route realignments, looking at alternative service models, as well as extending service

84
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,600
to new destinations.

85
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:46,900
So what we did then is kind of take what we heard from all of you is board members, what we

86
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:51,280
heard from members of the community, and identify the series of priorities that we want to

87
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:54,220
used to help evaluate our potential service changes.

88
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,460
So the way to read this chart is

89
00:05:56,460 --> 00:05:59,040
that we kind of have those higher level priorities

90
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,220
on the far left, brief description

91
00:06:01,220 --> 00:06:02,820
of what that priority might mean,

92
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:05,460
and then different ways we can measure that.

93
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:08,300
So just to kind of run through this at a quick level,

94
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,000
we have service frequency, so how frequent a service coming,

95
00:06:12,220 --> 00:06:13,700
how often is the bus running?

96
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,860
Do you have to wait particularly long

97
00:06:15,860 --> 00:06:17,500
or not as long to catch the bus?

98
00:06:18,260 --> 00:06:20,000
Service spam, so that's looking at things

99
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,260
like later evening service, additional service on Saturdays, or starting operations on Sunday service.

100
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:30,700
To measure that, we can look at the change in hours for when service is available,

101
00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:35,940
as well as the change in population or employment who has access to service at certain times of

102
00:06:35,940 --> 00:06:41,640
day or certain days of the week. Coverage and access, so this is again making sure that we're serving

103
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:48,080
the growing or currently underserved communities and new destinations. So looking at change in population

104
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,800
or jobs that have access to service as well as service being provided to new destinations.

105
00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:58,960
Core service quality and reliability, so this is really looking at on-time performance of

106
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,740
the core routes, noting that there have been some reliability concerns that have been voiced on

107
00:07:03,740 --> 00:07:09,660
some routes and being able to show how on-time performance is expected or anticipated to change

108
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:15,400
as a result of our service plans. Travel time and speed, again this is more directness of routes,

109
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,320
how long do people have to wait on the bus to actually reach their destination,

110
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,460
how much out of direction travel is required, things like that,

111
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:24,520
that are really about the convenience of the service,

112
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,580
transit dependent access.

113
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,960
So this is again looking at making sure that service is available for those

114
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,680
who need it most based on economic, employment data,

115
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,540
as well as certain demographic characteristics,

116
00:07:36,980 --> 00:07:40,180
folks that we know tend to rely more on transit than other groups.

117
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,900
How well are they served by the system?

118
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:47,180
Then we look at some more operational and financial feasibility things.

119
00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:48,680
So this is more about complexity.

120
00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:53,380
Our additional vehicles required to provide this service, would there be an additional

121
00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:59,240
cost anticipated to provide some of this service, basically making sure that these initial

122
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,580
scenarios would be developed kind of on a standard baseline with existing operations today and

123
00:08:04,580 --> 00:08:09,020
that nothing goes beyond those initial costs until we hit the long range portion of this

124
00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:09,340
study.

125
00:08:09,340 --> 00:08:12,620
And lastly, recreation and choice rider opportunities.

126
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,820
And so this is more of a qualitative assessment of is service being set up in a way that may

127
00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:20,940
attract new riders to the system, whether that's by serving new destinations like some

128
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:26,300
recreational areas or if there are new policy changes that may incentivize new riders to

129
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:27,720
start trying out the service.

130
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,360
So the way that we intend to use this is by developing our three preliminary service scenarios

131
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,660
over the next couple of months.

132
00:08:34,660 --> 00:08:39,500
And as we have those scenarios developed, we'll be running them through this prioritization framework

133
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:43,260
so that we'll be able to say on the three rightmost columns,

134
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,700
initially on a high, medium, or low level, how well do each of these scenarios align with these priorities

135
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:54,400
and how well do they achieve these goals and metrics that are associated with the priorities?

136
00:08:55,460 --> 00:09:01,940
So we do have kind of a brief flow chart to show generally what this looks like in context with the rest of the study.

137
00:09:01,940 --> 00:09:17,700
So our existing conditions evaluation, our phase one of public engagement, some of our board meetings, workshops, one-on-one interviews, and stakeholder group sessions, and I've given us a lot of the inputs to inform what our priorities should be to help guide this study into guide our future service changes.

138
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,780
That's what we use to develop that draft prioritization framework that I just showed.

139
00:09:22,420 --> 00:09:29,000
From here we're using that to again inform what type of service scenarios will be developing for our initial preliminary scenarios.

140
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:39,300
will then be running those through that prioritization framework, which we have labeled here a scenario evaluation metrics to show how well each of those scenarios achieves those priorities.

141
00:09:39,940 --> 00:09:55,660
We'll then be able to take individual aspects of each of the three preliminary scenarios that are the most highly supported by the community, the most in alignment with our existing priorities, and that show some of the strongest potential for service improvements, ridership improvements.

142
00:09:55,660 --> 00:10:00,840
Again, both efficiency, effectiveness, and meeting community needs will be able to take

143
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,960
these individual elements of the three preliminary alternatives, combine them into our one preferred

144
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,320
alternative for our recommended service network.

145
00:10:09,740 --> 00:10:14,180
Stet is kind of a very brief high level overview of how we intend to use that prioritization

146
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:18,420
framework, but now I did want to pause and kind of turn it over to all of you to get some

147
00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:23,800
of your thoughts on generally this prioritization framework, making sure that we have the right

148
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,640
priorities in place. If there's anything that we're missing here, if some of these priorities

149
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,420
seem like they should be more important than others, or again if these are the right metrics,

150
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:37,640
is this the right way to measure how well we're achieving these priorities? And if there's

151
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,120
anything else that should be considered as a part of this that is currently missing from the

152
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,140
prioritization framework. So I can kind of toggle back and forth between these two slides, but

153
00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:51,160
they want to have this up as a reference for, again, what we have listed as our initial priorities,

154
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,300
as well as how we intend to measure our ability to achieve those priorities.

155
00:10:56,420 --> 00:11:04,720
So I know there's decent amount of information to take in here, but I'll pause for a few minutes and let you all discuss and answer any questions, provide any feedback.

156
00:11:05,580 --> 00:11:07,980
So yeah, feel free to let me know if there's anything on your mind.

157
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:29,800
Well, driving here from Millville takes me now half hour to get from Millville to North

158
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:36,000
or Hyde Park, just a bit about, anyways, so I was thinking about all the cars, all the

159
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:43,800
people going home and just how much more or how much our population has grown over the

160
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:53,340
last 20 years that I've been here and so I think for me that change in population and employment

161
00:11:53,340 --> 00:12:00,600
and frequency the hours of service and just really thinking about people getting to work

162
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:10,980
and home from work and the traffic is I guess for me kind of a bigger priority or something

163
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,340
that stands out a lot to me.

164
00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:19,830
My thoughts, what do you guys think?

165
00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:28,200
So a lot of good criteria. I want to see what it turns out to into reality now,

166
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,820
enough talking. I want to see what scenarios here.

167
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:39,440
Now that's great. I think it's definitely easier to react to something when we actually have

168
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,720
low-media and high scores for some of these scenarios. But yeah, definitely

169
00:12:44,540 --> 00:12:48,380
would echo that. It's always nice when we have that kind of next step where we're going over

170
00:12:48,380 --> 00:12:52,200
the next month or so and can start to show you how well we think these are aligning with

171
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:52,860
these priorities.

172
00:12:58,850 --> 00:13:02,530
Is there anything up there that people say now it shouldn't be or is anything missing?

173
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,180
And it looks really good.

174
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:12,980
It's going to get tough.

175
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:14,860
Great.

176
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:15,720
Well, I'd love to hear that.

177
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,240
So I guess what I can do now is kind of go through our next couple of slides discussing

178
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,260
some next steps and then if anyone has any thoughts, we can flip back towards the end and just

179
00:13:25,260 --> 00:13:26,260
make sure that we cover those.

180
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:26,980
But yeah.

181
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,620
Again, I think we've done a fair amount of due diligence in hearing from the community

182
00:13:30,620 --> 00:13:34,960
as well as from all of you individually and collectively as a whole and makes our job

183
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,320
easier.

184
00:13:35,460 --> 00:13:39,040
We hear a lot of consistent themes across those conversations, so I think that's good

185
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,460
to hear that, seems like so far, we're more or less on point here and generally heading

186
00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:44,240
in the right direction.

187
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:50,440
So in terms of next steps, like we were just mentioning, the next big piece from here,

188
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,640
now that we start to have our priorities identified and have a good lens for how we'll start evaluating

189
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,820
those priorities. Next, we're going to start building out three preliminary service scenarios.

190
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:05,280
So, again, these will be somewhat similar to the transit planning game that we did at the

191
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,720
last board workshop where they're really designed to test different priorities and

192
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,880
approaches to transit service. So, these are still very much in draft concept form at this point,

193
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,820
but what we intend to test is a multi-hub system where we're looking at serving the growing

194
00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:23,620
community, looking at more transfer opportunities outside of the downtown transit center,

195
00:14:23,620 --> 00:14:28,640
Seeing how service would change around that, then we'll be looking at more small tweaks

196
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,680
or minor adjustments to the service looking for more efficiency and effectiveness knowing

197
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,380
that we've heard from members of the community that service generally is working pretty

198
00:14:36,380 --> 00:14:36,900
well for them.

199
00:14:37,180 --> 00:14:41,760
So, seeing if there are just small tweaks we can make letting them see those options and

200
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,300
then weigh them against some more transformative changes that will show in the multi hub option.

201
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,880
The last scenario that we're intending to put together is more about service span.

202
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,080
So you know we've heard later evening service and adding Sunday service are big priorities

203
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,980
But those do come with a cost so looking at where there are potential efficiencies where we can

204
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
Save some resources on weekdays, and apply those to weekend service or later evening service. So this may be more of a steep tradeoff for some folks to make, but it's important for us to present those options and make sure that people are aware and have a good understanding of what level of resource intensity will actually take to provide some of those improvements. So while we will show that in the short term, maybe to have as robust Sunday services we have on Saturdays or weekdays now, may take more resources than we have available.

205
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:48,360
But being able to identify how people prioritize these improvements across three scenarios can help us identify and again prioritize what we include in our near-term service plan, as well as what we can have as a longer-term plan as we have additional funding become available to afford some of those more expensive improvements.

206
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,940
Once we have those networks together, we'll again run them through the prioritization framework

207
00:15:52,940 --> 00:15:57,420
and then we'll begin phase two engagement, which is where we'll do exercises and activities

208
00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:01,640
pretty similar to phase one, where we'll be back in person, talking to writers, the community,

209
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,040
we're doing another online survey as well, some more stakeholder interactions, but really with

210
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:13,300
the emphasis being on those three preliminary scenarios and not just understanding which of the three

211
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:18,800
is the most preferred from members of the community and writers, but which specific elements

212
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,380
of each of the scenarios do people like and do people dislike so that we can take those

213
00:16:23,380 --> 00:16:28,440
strongest individual elements and combine them into one preferred alternative for our recommendations.

214
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:35,600
So Peter, are your scenarios based on our current budget or how does the budget considerations

215
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:41,100
work into these scenarios? Yes, it's based on the current budget. So we are building this

216
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:45,800
based on revenue hours and assuming no change in revenue hours for the near-term

217
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,180
future or the near-term scenarios.

218
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:53,650
And in terms of milestones and timeline,

219
00:16:53,890 --> 00:16:57,270
we're kind of right in the middle of the project here towards the end of

220
00:16:57,270 --> 00:17:00,130
August, moving through the prioritization and then into the service

221
00:17:00,130 --> 00:17:05,030
recommendations through the fall. So once we hit November into starting winter of

222
00:17:05,030 --> 00:17:09,650
2627, that's will move into our final reporting, story maps, and final

223
00:17:09,650 --> 00:17:15,430
presentations for the study. So, still right on target for timeline, getting into the fun stuff,

224
00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:19,550
and looking forward to presenting some of those initial service concepts next time around.

225
00:17:20,390 --> 00:17:24,690
But before I end, I will quickly flip back to the discussion just in case there are any more

226
00:17:24,690 --> 00:17:30,470
comments, thoughts, or questions. And if not, happy to give you some time back and move on in the agenda.

227
00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:44,420
Peter, is there any way we could get a copy of that chart that you had as

228
00:17:44,420 --> 00:17:47,020
It's enough to just kind of think on that a little bit more.

229
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:47,560
I have it.

230
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:48,640
No, we can get it to you.

231
00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:49,080
Okay.

232
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:54,000
And then maybe with those questions as well, I don't know, I just like to think of it.

233
00:17:54,980 --> 00:17:57,820
It really looks good, but that's just my opinion.

234
00:17:58,780 --> 00:17:59,500
Yeah, absolutely.

235
00:17:59,780 --> 00:18:04,500
And it's a relatively large table with, I'm sure, some small text up on the screen for you

236
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:04,840
also.

237
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:05,560
Yeah.

238
00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:09,840
I can send this presentation over to Todd right after I drop from the call and we can have

239
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:10,660
all that available for you.

240
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:11,860
Okay.

241
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:12,440
Thank you.

242
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:12,700
All right.

243
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,580
Anything else?

244
00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:24,380
All right. Thanks a lot, everyone. We'll talk soon.

245
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,400
All right. Thank you, Peter.

246
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:32,600
Hey.

247
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:35,820
How's it going to update?

248
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,680
It's exciting to see where this study is going to go.

249
00:18:41,930 --> 00:18:46,390
Here next item is the review of the second quarter financials.

250
00:18:47,690 --> 00:18:55,150
It glends. Okay. I'm going to just highlight a couple of things here. You've got that in front of you.

251
00:18:55,150 --> 00:19:05,890
the Budget Committee reviewed this last week and feel pretty good. Again, things are moving

252
00:19:05,890 --> 00:19:11,090
along well. Of course, fuel is always a concern. Well, not always a concern. This year,

253
00:19:11,190 --> 00:19:19,690
it's more of a concern. So, as you see in the note there, you know, the cost of being going

254
00:19:19,690 --> 00:19:24,150
up, which everybody knows, as they've gone to the fill-up vehicles.

255
00:19:27,330 --> 00:19:36,570
But Curtis feels that we are in pretty good shape this year, and not anticipating a budget

256
00:19:36,570 --> 00:19:40,970
amendment, but we may have a budget amendment coming up later in the year.

257
00:19:41,550 --> 00:19:47,530
However, the good news is we probably have enough savings elsewhere that would offset that

258
00:19:47,530 --> 00:19:53,410
our overall budget will not need to go up. We're not anticipating that anyway right now.

259
00:19:54,670 --> 00:19:58,070
I thought that it was quite interesting on the equipment purchases.

260
00:20:00,610 --> 00:20:07,070
There were the recording equipment in the vehicle system there. Curtis, could you

261
00:20:07,070 --> 00:20:08,990
elaborate on that for us?

262
00:20:10,750 --> 00:20:16,610
Yes, so in the budget that was adopted, there was money to completely replace the

263
00:20:16,610 --> 00:20:18,950
the canners in the recording systems and all the buses,

264
00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:21,650
so we could upgrade our technology there.

265
00:20:21,770 --> 00:20:24,190
We had multiple systems that we were running

266
00:20:24,190 --> 00:20:26,250
as we bought various buses over the year.

267
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:28,930
This puts it under one system.

268
00:20:29,670 --> 00:20:34,310
As we bid that, we attracted a lot of interest.

269
00:20:35,130 --> 00:20:37,030
So we had nine vendors bid on that.

270
00:20:38,150 --> 00:20:41,490
And we got really competitive pricing.

271
00:20:43,070 --> 00:20:45,250
We did not choose the cheapest.

272
00:20:47,130 --> 00:20:52,770
what they were offering was not the quality that we thought the district deserved and so

273
00:20:52,770 --> 00:20:59,870
the pricing that came in was still lower than what we had estimated. So there are some savings

274
00:20:59,870 --> 00:21:07,490
that we're seeing there. Even considering that four of the buses are due to cycle out in December,

275
00:21:07,850 --> 00:21:16,250
we didn't put the new systems on those. So the parts for those will arrive before the

276
00:21:16,250 --> 00:21:19,390
in the year, but the systems will be installed after the year.

277
00:21:19,950 --> 00:21:24,090
But even with all of that, we're going to have savings in this area.

278
00:21:27,670 --> 00:21:36,310
And as we were going through this process, we have been planning to upgrade what's called

279
00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:36,950
cradle points.

280
00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:43,390
These are the connections inside the buses that transmit everything up into the internet.

281
00:21:44,530 --> 00:21:52,110
So, those cradle points were scheduled to be replaced on all the buses next year.

282
00:21:54,270 --> 00:22:02,010
As we were talking lining things up, we became aware that the vendor of those would offer

283
00:22:02,010 --> 00:22:10,370
a discount right now, significant discount on those as well as we could cut the price of

284
00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:20,250
monthly bill for using them. So it's all provided through Verizon. And we can do all of that

285
00:22:20,950 --> 00:22:28,990
and be right at the budget. So we wouldn't have to ask for any extra money. But what it means is

286
00:22:28,990 --> 00:22:34,390
we'd save about, if we just waited and did it all next year, it cost us about $20,000. So we can save

287
00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:38,210
about $20,000 by doing it this year instead of next year.

288
00:22:39,390 --> 00:22:40,570
So it makes a lot of sense.

289
00:22:40,730 --> 00:22:46,690
We don't necessarily have to ask for budgetary approval because the budget has been authorized,

290
00:22:46,930 --> 00:22:50,750
but at the same time, we don't want to mislead anybody which want to be open to it.

291
00:22:51,170 --> 00:22:54,430
There's just an opportunity that's presented itself and we think we should take advantage

292
00:22:54,430 --> 00:22:54,870
of it.

293
00:22:55,850 --> 00:22:59,210
Since it's going to be incurred next year, we need to replace these next year.

294
00:22:59,210 --> 00:23:06,630
We gained some speed, we gained the ability to do faster Wi-Fi, more Wi-Fi connections,

295
00:23:06,890 --> 00:23:10,750
so there are some real operational advantages of doing it now, especially with the new camera

296
00:23:10,750 --> 00:23:11,170
system.

297
00:23:13,230 --> 00:23:18,950
Can you elaborate more on the new system, how much better it's working than what we've

298
00:23:18,950 --> 00:23:19,150
had?

299
00:23:19,730 --> 00:23:29,330
Yeah, the new cameras, it took like a week and we already have like three times where people

300
00:23:29,330 --> 00:23:36,210
instead of having to stop a bus, go in, grab a DVR, pull it out, put another DVR, and

301
00:23:36,210 --> 00:23:42,290
hopefully keep the bus going on route to review for something. Our supervisors can just

302
00:23:42,290 --> 00:23:49,890
pop in literally some of them are doing on their phones and can view what's going on.

303
00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:54,730
No, they're not doing on their phones yet. That's what's coming. They're just going

304
00:23:54,730 --> 00:24:01,250
go into the computer system, look and they can see it like live, they can review things

305
00:24:01,890 --> 00:24:06,530
instantaneously, and we actually had like a couple instances right in that first week

306
00:24:06,530 --> 00:24:11,150
where they're just much faster, we're not having a bus pulled out of service, trying

307
00:24:11,150 --> 00:24:17,610
to swap drives. We don't have any drive failures because we're just pulling straight lives,

308
00:24:18,030 --> 00:24:23,490
our straight feeds off of it. So right now the system is performing fantastic for our

309
00:24:23,490 --> 00:24:32,150
system to it. The vendor that we selected was ITAS. So they took over the Apollo.

310
00:24:32,490 --> 00:24:39,590
Yeah, so they were at the used to be a pro runner. There's a Apollo runner and before that,

311
00:24:39,950 --> 00:24:44,690
or I think after that it was the slumenator. So it's changed time several times, but now it's ITAS.

312
00:24:45,070 --> 00:24:49,270
Yeah, so we're really excited about the quality of the cameras,

313
00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:52,290
the quality of what's the images.

314
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:55,010
And it's cool when you get some of you

315
00:24:55,010 --> 00:24:56,490
who knows the system, we've got these,

316
00:24:57,090 --> 00:24:59,870
I'm going way too and death, but we've got these fish eye cameras.

317
00:25:00,690 --> 00:25:03,090
And when you look at it, it's kind of like looking at things

318
00:25:03,090 --> 00:25:05,030
through a bowl, they really warps.

319
00:25:05,650 --> 00:25:07,290
The technology right there on the screen

320
00:25:07,290 --> 00:25:10,930
they can take that de-warp it, turn it into a normal camera view,

321
00:25:11,270 --> 00:25:15,570
and then zero and basically not so much

322
00:25:15,570 --> 00:25:17,410
that you could totally read what was on some of these watch,

323
00:25:17,410 --> 00:25:25,290
But you could tell that it was a blackface watch with a white band and and it's it's it helps

324
00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:30,550
Quite dramatically in the camera angles. We've improved all the camera angles

325
00:25:31,210 --> 00:25:37,670
So because we could specify exactly what we wanted the cameras placed. It's it's made a difference

326
00:25:37,670 --> 00:25:39,310
All right cameras wrong the most

327
00:25:40,050 --> 00:25:40,370
12

328
00:25:41,650 --> 00:25:47,070
Um on the big ones and then um, so I'm an exterior

329
00:25:47,070 --> 00:25:54,310
Yeah, there's we actually expanded on the exterior. So we have four on the exterior. We shoot backward from the front and forward from the back.

330
00:25:55,950 --> 00:25:59,890
We don't have blind spots on the side. What's that?

331
00:26:00,210 --> 00:26:02,370
On the side. That's where they are.

332
00:26:02,810 --> 00:26:03,290
Yeah.

333
00:26:05,490 --> 00:26:07,410
So should they shoot down the passenger side?

334
00:26:07,670 --> 00:26:10,790
Did the driver's side down the passenger side and then backwards as well?

335
00:26:10,790 --> 00:26:15,030
So, we can see everybody boarding, deporting,

336
00:26:15,710 --> 00:26:19,490
we changed some of the cameras angles inside to get more coverage in the back of the bus.

337
00:26:20,990 --> 00:26:24,490
So, it's pretty much so impossible to hide.

338
00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:27,970
Yeah, we've got any bad feedback on those, I assume.

339
00:26:28,050 --> 00:26:28,150
No.

340
00:26:28,250 --> 00:26:28,850
I mean, no.

341
00:26:29,090 --> 00:26:31,290
The flock cameras are getting massacred.

342
00:26:31,710 --> 00:26:31,890
Yeah.

343
00:26:33,050 --> 00:26:35,370
I think initially like any technology,

344
00:26:35,650 --> 00:26:38,090
I mean, we're talking a decade or more ago then.

345
00:26:38,090 --> 00:26:42,550
And I think there are some hesitancy, but again, we've tried to use technology not in a

346
00:26:42,550 --> 00:26:46,910
punitive way, but in a way to support and educate and be a resource.

347
00:26:47,150 --> 00:26:50,710
And so I think that's really what helps when we're doing these types of things.

348
00:26:52,530 --> 00:26:55,870
So, and it's recording everything, and it's saving the data.

349
00:26:56,450 --> 00:27:00,310
So how far back is this saving data?

350
00:27:00,330 --> 00:27:00,410
Yeah.

351
00:27:01,070 --> 00:27:04,490
We can go, our spec was 21 days.

352
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:08,690
We get, it depends on what the bus is doing and stuff we're getting more than that.

353
00:27:10,450 --> 00:27:14,790
But the minimum had to be 21 days worth of storage, so three weeks.

354
00:27:15,250 --> 00:27:16,630
One jammer's on the driver.

355
00:27:17,530 --> 00:27:17,930
Good.

356
00:27:18,890 --> 00:27:24,910
Yeah, we have multiple angles up front, including, well, wheelchairsly caremen areas as well.

357
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:28,770
Yeah, driver that had a heart attack or something, could you do anything about it?

358
00:27:30,470 --> 00:27:33,330
It depends on what happens.

359
00:27:33,330 --> 00:27:39,310
And so if the drivers wear enough, there's actually an event button right by them that they

360
00:27:39,310 --> 00:27:43,330
can push the event button and the triggers and immediate notification start recording.

361
00:27:44,170 --> 00:27:47,190
And we know that something is happening on that bus.

362
00:27:49,410 --> 00:27:55,150
So in theory, yes, I mean they always have radio contact where they could immediately put

363
00:27:55,150 --> 00:27:57,850
out a distress call as well.

364
00:27:58,430 --> 00:28:06,930
So just, and others on the bus could provide, you know, start using that system as well.

365
00:28:07,510 --> 00:28:11,750
The thing that would happen also is because now we can live feed.

366
00:28:12,370 --> 00:28:18,970
We could actually have somebody live feeding information to responding personnel if they wanted to.

367
00:28:19,650 --> 00:28:25,210
Our response time is around here for the most part are pretty fast, so that's not as big of a benefit.

368
00:28:25,210 --> 00:28:32,510
but there's other advantages where we can get on and look and see the various aspects.

369
00:28:33,310 --> 00:28:40,010
We narrow it down. There's limited access and guidelines. In fact, we're going through

370
00:28:40,010 --> 00:28:45,550
those now that it's live video. We're actually reviewing all of our policies related to that,

371
00:28:45,730 --> 00:28:48,390
so that we're updating us for this new condition.

372
00:28:52,380 --> 00:28:55,800
You don't have someone just looking at those

373
00:28:56,460 --> 00:28:56,980
No.

374
00:28:57,700 --> 00:28:58,020
Okay.

375
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,960
So it's only you only review the recording scale if you need it.

376
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:03,660
Exactly.

377
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:08,720
Or if we if something's going on we can review live if we need to in the moment but yeah

378
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,940
and we're not having somebody sit there monitoring it's not a lot of security cameras.

379
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:14,320
Yeah.

380
00:29:14,580 --> 00:29:14,900
No, I know.

381
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,840
There's other places where they have the security cameras and they're all up and no,

382
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:19,920
we don't do anything like that.

383
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,740
Well, what never scared anymore questions.

384
00:29:29,740 --> 00:29:37,680
I have a question, just generally on our budget, as I was driving past the transit center,

385
00:29:37,780 --> 00:29:42,420
made me think of it was seeing all the various advertisements on the buses. How much do we get

386
00:29:42,420 --> 00:29:50,140
an advertisement from you? Yeah, it's, it's, it's,

387
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:58,720
it's a lower thing. It's, it brings in anywhere,

388
00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,960
between, it's dropped down as low as...

389
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,820
It's like 25 to $30,000 on really bad timeframes if they're, we don't have an active salesman. On a, on a good one, we have 60 to 80,000. 100 is like a really, really good year, but 60,000 is. So, so good question. So I'll just give you the history. And then, but we haven't evaluated that for some time. I mean, but, but the history behind us back when we separated from Logan City, we had a local.

390
00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:34,780
a lot of local businesses that had been petitioning, saying, hey, we want to be able to advertise

391
00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:35,460
on that space.

392
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:40,540
And so, the board discussed it, and it was really more in response to the local businesses

393
00:30:40,540 --> 00:30:45,900
wanted that, and we want to support local business, and so that's why it came to be.

394
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:46,840
But I agree.

395
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:50,380
I'd like a cleaner look myself, but that was the reasoning behind it.

396
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,640
When we started the system, and Todd's pretty kind of familiar with this, I think he was fairly

397
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,260
close to the start.

398
00:30:56,260 --> 00:31:02,380
we, we, it was the policy. There was, I think actually a policy that there be no advertising

399
00:31:02,380 --> 00:31:07,500
on the buses. And that was just because of the image that one of the, that the person

400
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:14,900
that started the, that really was a spearhead of getting the trans agency here, she would

401
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:21,080
go to these other places and see these trans systems and she just despise the advertising.

402
00:31:21,580 --> 00:31:26,060
And so she really didn't want advertising on the buses. And so that was kind of the standard

403
00:31:26,060 --> 00:31:31,640
that was set. And I think the image, it does look better. It makes it look less of a

404
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:39,720
for sale system, you know, and more of a community asset. And so that's why when I was writing

405
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,620
pastor, I just saw all the different colors and stuff. And I was like, I like the just

406
00:31:43,620 --> 00:31:47,700
the our standard colors, you know, it's like, anyway, so it's a thought process anyway.

407
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:53,820
Again, we haven't just, as a board, you haven't discussed this for over a decade, so it may

408
00:31:53,820 --> 00:31:57,740
be something that you want to discuss. And, you know, as you discuss that, I mean, there

409
00:31:57,740 --> 00:32:03,300
are things that we follow, state code and whatnot, but there's really not a lot we can do when

410
00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:08,140
it comes to what is allowed to be advertised, other if they have to comply with the code.

411
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:11,540
And so sometimes there may be things you're like, I don't know if that's part of the image.

412
00:32:11,740 --> 00:32:15,520
So those are all things to consider, so you may want to discuss that at some point.

413
00:32:16,780 --> 00:32:23,340
But didn't you mention once that money, that revenue that we get from the advertising, don't

414
00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:26,840
we use it for our all-n-advertising, didn't it?

415
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,660
Well, it just goes in the budget, I mean, but yeah, I mean, you know, we've...

416
00:32:30,660 --> 00:32:34,480
If it's $25,000, $40,000, $25,000 to $50,000, that's...

417
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,700
Right now, it's running right around $50,000 to $60,000,

418
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,640
not a lot of revenue, you know, in relative terms.

419
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,260
And is that...

420
00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:43,260
Yeah, if we were to cut that, would that make...

421
00:32:43,260 --> 00:32:44,280
Would that...

422
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,240
Would it cut our...

423
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:45,840
Yeah, would it...

424
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:46,900
Yeah, would it affect our...

425
00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:47,980
Other than, I mean...

426
00:32:47,980 --> 00:32:51,980
And is it enough value of the image to prove...

427
00:32:51,980 --> 00:32:57,700
to be to lose that public and the hassle. I'm sure it's a pain getting the vehicles available

428
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:03,400
to put the advertising on and I mean I just I know there's logistics that go along with that

429
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,560
and damage that happens to the pain of the buses when they're to putting those things on and off.

430
00:33:08,740 --> 00:33:16,340
Are we netting 50 to 60 or are we that gross? Now that's net of all their commissions and everything.

431
00:33:16,340 --> 00:33:16,400
and

432
00:33:18,740 --> 00:33:20,600
something to think about, yeah.

433
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,280
Interesting points.

434
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,280
As a budget's coming up, maybe that's a good discussion to have.

435
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,420
Just thinking about the word community,

436
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,080
I think of like, I've just noticed thing on the way here,

437
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,820
the bus advertisement for Capsa.

438
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,120
That's brought a lot more awareness of Capsa,

439
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:47,060
which I think is good.

440
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,980
And then I always left the artwork,

441
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,040
especially like kids doing that.

442
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,160
I don't, I think that is the ugly response we have.

443
00:33:56,620 --> 00:34:01,840
Say that, you know, I mean, let's then be a part of the community or, you know, chime

444
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,500
in that way.

445
00:34:02,780 --> 00:34:04,220
So, I don't know.

446
00:34:04,740 --> 00:34:08,920
And you couldn't let caps on, and then, and still, I mean, like you can't discriminate

447
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:17,380
on who advertises, so it's all or nothing, right, you know, so that's something to discuss.

448
00:34:17,380 --> 00:34:21,270
I vote take a vote.

449
00:34:23,250 --> 00:34:24,790
You can't take a vote tonight.

450
00:34:26,170 --> 00:34:27,150
We know your vote.

451
00:34:30,250 --> 00:34:32,210
Well, yeah, we'll have to think about that more.

452
00:34:32,550 --> 00:34:37,430
So any more questions on nourishing the Marianne finances here?

453
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:39,390
Oh yeah, you were here.

454
00:34:39,830 --> 00:34:41,090
You want more about it?

455
00:34:41,130 --> 00:34:41,610
I think we're good.

456
00:34:42,750 --> 00:34:43,090
Okay.

457
00:34:43,350 --> 00:34:47,090
Well, speaking of finances, Curtis is going to lead us

458
00:34:47,090 --> 00:34:50,310
Through the budget timeline, who's got budget?

459
00:34:51,230 --> 00:35:04,090
Yes, so one of our goals is just to try and communicate clear more clearly, just more

460
00:35:04,090 --> 00:35:04,990
frequently even.

461
00:35:05,850 --> 00:35:09,710
So, we just developed this budget timeline, we'll put it in the packet going forward just

462
00:35:09,710 --> 00:35:14,450
so you can see key dates, you don't have to repeat them verbally each time, but they'll be

463
00:35:14,450 --> 00:35:23,950
in your packet. Next major meeting is September 23rd. That's when we'll be giving you our

464
00:35:23,950 --> 00:35:28,930
very preliminary version of the budget, so you get the hands to have discussions during

465
00:35:28,930 --> 00:35:35,010
October. So when we send that on the 23rd, we don't necessarily expect questions. I mean,

466
00:35:35,030 --> 00:35:40,250
we can take questions, but it's more to get it into your hands so that you can look at things

467
00:35:40,250 --> 00:35:45,830
and be able to ask questions in depth as the goal, so the 14th and the 28th become more

468
00:35:45,830 --> 00:35:48,330
of those budget timeline, discussion timelines.

469
00:35:49,150 --> 00:35:53,910
But the timelines that are in front of you, if you've got questions, if you've got concerns,

470
00:35:54,230 --> 00:35:57,670
maybe just address the three times that we are meeting about and why.

471
00:35:58,230 --> 00:36:04,750
Yeah, as it states in there, we try to detail out very clearly the 28th of October.

472
00:36:05,150 --> 00:36:09,450
We need a corn for voting, because we'll be approving the benefit package, so we can have

473
00:36:09,450 --> 00:36:15,690
open enrollment for employees, I'm in timelines with all the federal and state requirements.

474
00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:20,790
I remember 18th, we'll need a call because that's when required by a lot of adopt the

475
00:36:20,790 --> 00:36:28,610
tentative budget. And then December 9th is the date for the final adoption of the budget,

476
00:36:28,610 --> 00:36:33,530
and that's also when the public hearing will be if they want to give input on the budget.

477
00:36:33,530 --> 00:36:40,290
But those are the three times spelled out specifically where a vote will need to be taken.

478
00:36:43,420 --> 00:36:45,440
Many of those meetings be other than 530?

479
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:47,940
Not that I don't know where.

480
00:36:48,180 --> 00:36:48,800
No, they're always.

481
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:50,060
You usually have them right.

482
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:56,800
We've found over the years that you got to set it and forget it, and otherwise it just gets

483
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,880
dimpled to try to schedule a release schedule.

484
00:37:00,220 --> 00:37:00,520
Yeah.

485
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:01,220
It's helpful.

486
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:04,620
Thank you.

487
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:05,500
My planner already.

488
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:06,480
Thank you.

489
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,660
You know we're good, wrong, good.

490
00:37:16,430 --> 00:37:17,890
It's good, I'm excited.

491
00:37:18,370 --> 00:37:19,970
Good discussion.

492
00:37:24,210 --> 00:37:25,010
Do you have any questions?

493
00:37:27,050 --> 00:37:28,350
Hey, how's it going next item?

494
00:37:30,290 --> 00:37:34,670
The next item is the CEO of compensation policy.

495
00:37:35,090 --> 00:37:36,530
I'm seeing your packet as well.

496
00:37:37,650 --> 00:37:39,950
This is something we want to,

497
00:37:39,950 --> 00:37:51,490
is up for consideration. We have fine-tuned it and our goal has been with this. Just to make

498
00:37:51,490 --> 00:37:58,630
it more simple and reasonable and explainable.

499
00:38:00,970 --> 00:38:05,270
So do you guys have a chance to review it?

500
00:38:07,850 --> 00:38:08,650
Do you

501
00:38:08,650 --> 00:38:13,710
I guess just some highlights in making it more simple

502
00:38:13,710 --> 00:38:19,810
and manageable, yes, manageable.

503
00:38:20,130 --> 00:38:26,310
We really wanted to have deadlines with this policy.

504
00:38:27,130 --> 00:38:32,970
So everything that we do with that, every task or step

505
00:38:33,690 --> 00:38:37,810
with it has a deadline, which I am really

506
00:38:37,810 --> 00:38:45,150
excited about that. So the market assessment we're going to do every three years just to really

507
00:38:45,150 --> 00:38:48,030
stay on top of that so we don't have big jumps.

508
00:38:50,930 --> 00:38:58,490
And let's see what else. And then one of the big

509
00:38:58,490 --> 00:39:05,810
changes the employment cost index and this is the top of it right at the top on the first page

510
00:39:06,950 --> 00:39:13,330
is also a big change, so instead of trying to figure out what's going on with like Logan

511
00:39:13,330 --> 00:39:19,950
City and Cash County in the state of Utah, we're going to use this index that's put out

512
00:39:19,950 --> 00:39:26,390
by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, so it should be much, much simpler.

513
00:39:31,290 --> 00:39:36,390
And then otherwise it, I mean, it's pretty much the same in a lot of ways.

514
00:39:36,390 --> 00:39:40,950
we just have those deadlines, so that things are done.

515
00:39:41,030 --> 00:39:47,190
We coordinate with the budget process, so that we're not doing like we had last year,

516
00:39:47,290 --> 00:39:53,310
we've kind of laid on it and then had to re-address it in January, and that was a little messy,

517
00:39:53,730 --> 00:39:54,810
so we're trying to avoid that.

518
00:39:55,470 --> 00:39:55,990
Well, messy.

519
00:39:56,210 --> 00:40:01,650
But we learned a lot from it, and this is product of that, and so now we've got these good

520
00:40:01,650 --> 00:40:06,370
deadlines, and things are going to be done right, you know, going into the budget.

521
00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:15,130
process and should be a lot cleaner and so yeah do you guys have any questions on this?

522
00:40:15,270 --> 00:40:22,930
Just who's on the executive board committee? That's the chairs of the different committees so

523
00:40:22,930 --> 00:40:29,970
so myself as a board chair and then the chair of like budget committee and I guess I need to

524
00:40:29,970 --> 00:40:31,730
I'm not here with the committee chairman.

525
00:40:32,570 --> 00:40:33,930
I'm going to use the lead and mic.

526
00:40:34,430 --> 00:40:34,630
Okay.

527
00:40:36,270 --> 00:40:43,210
And Mack, why are you chairman of what board are you committee or you board?

528
00:40:44,030 --> 00:40:44,270
Okay.

529
00:40:46,890 --> 00:40:47,210
All right.

530
00:40:47,670 --> 00:40:48,230
Sit to me.

531
00:40:51,820 --> 00:40:52,660
Any other questions?

532
00:40:54,020 --> 00:40:54,600
Hey.

533
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,560
All right.

534
00:41:01,150 --> 00:41:08,410
Well, can I have a motion to approve CEO compensation policy?

535
00:41:11,050 --> 00:41:11,890
I'll move.

536
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:13,690
Glad makes a motion.

537
00:41:15,510 --> 00:41:17,670
And Ron, make a second.

538
00:41:17,970 --> 00:41:19,410
On favor, please say aye.

539
00:41:19,730 --> 00:41:19,890
Right.

540
00:41:20,690 --> 00:41:21,030
Any?

541
00:41:22,370 --> 00:41:23,610
Any discussion?

542
00:41:24,370 --> 00:41:24,510
Yeah.

543
00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:25,370
I mean, as well.

544
00:41:25,590 --> 00:41:26,170
After the public.

545
00:41:27,770 --> 00:41:28,710
All right.

546
00:41:29,110 --> 00:41:29,670
Any opposed?

547
00:41:30,370 --> 00:41:30,450
Yeah.

548
00:41:31,090 --> 00:41:31,590
Okay.

549
00:41:31,810 --> 00:41:32,330
Thank you.

550
00:41:32,670 --> 00:41:33,670
We appreciate that.

551
00:41:34,790 --> 00:41:35,670
All right.

552
00:41:36,410 --> 00:41:38,030
Move on to the management report.

553
00:41:38,850 --> 00:41:41,350
And that's going to talk to us about preventative meat.

554
00:41:42,550 --> 00:41:43,790
Oh, this is really exciting.

555
00:41:47,350 --> 00:41:55,130
So, so we've been trying to take you behind the scenes of some of the stuff that happens day to day that you may not be aware of.

556
00:41:55,230 --> 00:41:58,970
You know, we talked about kind of our comment process and how that works.

557
00:41:59,110 --> 00:42:00,570
We talked about our procurement process.

558
00:42:01,490 --> 00:42:06,990
We're trying to do something a little different in that today we're going to kind of talk about something to do with our

559
00:42:06,990 --> 00:42:11,770
vehicle maintenance process, but we've made a little video that we can show you we're

560
00:42:11,770 --> 00:42:15,210
going to use this to share on social media and YouTube and different things as well to

561
00:42:15,210 --> 00:42:15,810
show the public.

562
00:42:16,370 --> 00:42:20,890
Really, the goal of this is to educate people, right, because sometimes all we see is a

563
00:42:20,890 --> 00:42:23,110
bus going down the road, but there's a lot more involved than that.

564
00:42:23,330 --> 00:42:24,130
So sit back.

565
00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:28,670
I didn't provide any popcorn apologize, but it's only three minutes, so,

566
00:42:32,660 --> 00:42:34,620
and of course, because

567
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,100
I don't know why it doesn't have sound in your volume.

568
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:45,860
You got it now I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna share and I'm sharing to do the volume again

569
00:42:45,860 --> 00:42:49,200
I don't know why I did that, but so all right we'll try again.

570
00:42:52,700 --> 00:42:54,960
What are you wrong, Brad? It said that's muted

571
00:42:56,100 --> 00:43:00,000
On the video. Well, yeah, but if I do that it's gonna be in my computer

572
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:06,100
We just test when you're sure that you I hit the video. Yeah

573
00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:17,600
We just tested this technology we just we tested it just before y'all got here

574
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:28,780
trying to turn it this on before I share it okay so it sounds on I hit share right turn on

575
00:43:28,780 --> 00:43:29,440
the audio

576
00:43:34,270 --> 00:43:40,730
reliable service okay now we can turn off my audio so that you don't have to listen to

577
00:43:43,070 --> 00:43:47,250
Reliable service starts long before the bus leaves the shop. There's a whole

578
00:43:47,250 --> 00:43:51,550
team behind the scenes working to get it there. Hey, I'm Dick Coates, the

579
00:43:51,550 --> 00:43:56,130
maintenance supervisor here at Connect Transit. I've been here for about 25

580
00:43:56,130 --> 00:44:03,370
years. Started off as a vehicle cleaner. I'm only planned on doing that for part

581
00:44:03,370 --> 00:44:08,710
time, but as you can see, that changed and here I am. Our job in the maintenance

582
00:44:08,710 --> 00:44:13,870
in shop is to make sure that our vehicles get people in cash valley where they need to go,

583
00:44:14,230 --> 00:44:15,470
safely and on time.

584
00:44:16,170 --> 00:44:22,270
To do this, we focus on two priorities, safety and preventing breakdowns before they happen.

585
00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:24,150
This takes a great team.

586
00:44:25,070 --> 00:44:28,630
We have six skilled technicians who maintain and repair our fleet.

587
00:44:29,310 --> 00:44:32,970
Each person here plays an important role in keeping our buses on the road.

588
00:44:32,970 --> 00:44:40,150
The core of everything we do in the preventative maintenance inspection program, or PMI, a PMI is

589
00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:46,610
like a regular health checkup for a bus. Instead of fixing something after it fails out on route,

590
00:44:47,010 --> 00:44:52,830
our technicians inspect each bus to identify problems early and make repairs before it becomes a

591
00:44:52,830 --> 00:44:59,970
problem. This proactive approach helps us avoid unexpected breakdowns so that our buses can stay in

592
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:07,020
Service and get passengers where they need to go. To give you an idea of what goes into a PMI, buses are

593
00:45:07,020 --> 00:45:13,880
inspected every three to six thousand miles, depending on its maintenance schedule. 170 to 250

594
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:20,900
individual items are inspected on a single vehicle. On average, one inspection takes about six hours to

595
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:28,880
complete, and it's worth it. A typical inspection uncovers 15 to 20 things to repair before they lead

596
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:36,260
to a breakdown. That's 15-20 problems our writers never have to experience. This

597
00:45:36,260 --> 00:45:40,740
program does more than keep buses on the road. It helps us make the most of

598
00:45:40,740 --> 00:45:45,500
taxes that support our transit system. Because we follow this maintenance

599
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:50,780
program for decades, we have years of data that guide us. We know how long

600
00:45:50,780 --> 00:45:56,440
parts typically last can spot problems early and can plan our budgets based on

601
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:02,420
data. Good maintenance means getting more useful life out of the buses and

602
00:46:02,420 --> 00:46:07,800
making the most of the community's investment. Maintaining our vehicles like

603
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:12,560
this also expands the life of our fleet so that we can make sure these

604
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:18,280
dollars are working for our community. We're your neighbors and we want to be

605
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:23,440
good stewards of our tax dollars. So as you can see a lot goes in and put in a bus

606
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:29,900
on the road and maintenance is a big part of that. So the next time a bus pulls up to your stop,

607
00:46:30,260 --> 00:46:35,000
you'll know a little bit more about what it takes to get it there and about the people behind

608
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,700
the scenes who help make it happen.

609
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:47,100
He didn't start again. Great question, thoughts. Was that helpful?

610
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,560
That's very good. That's not the normal one. Well done.

611
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:55,920
Did you know the cleaning handle,

612
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:01,040
Is it a nightly thing that happens to be our next video, but yeah, it's a great question. Yeah, no

613
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:08,220
That's that's such a great question. So so yeah, it's something every bus that goes out and like they

614
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:15,720
Clean we have a process which we'll rebuild for you, but but yeah, we have a crew that does all of that and do a great job

615
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:22,300
So yeah, no, that's a great question. You're putting these on the website. So yeah, so

616
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:28,220
So we'll use different pieces of it and put them out through social media stuff, but we

617
00:47:28,220 --> 00:47:32,460
also have a YouTube channel, we'll put that on there, and we'll definitely make it

618
00:47:32,460 --> 00:47:33,140
available to folks.

619
00:47:34,420 --> 00:47:40,300
If you haven't already, follow us on Instagram and Facebook, social media, but encourage

620
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:40,620
others.

621
00:47:40,820 --> 00:47:46,300
We want to grow the number of people that are seeing this stuff and help educate them.

622
00:47:46,300 --> 00:47:47,060
So,

623
00:47:49,550 --> 00:47:51,450
and you're okay to ask questions ahead of the video.

624
00:47:51,650 --> 00:47:54,190
That gives us, that gives us ideas of content,

625
00:47:54,190 --> 00:47:56,430
but that happens to be the next one we're talking about,

626
00:47:56,510 --> 00:47:59,230
about doing that, so, that's great.

627
00:48:02,380 --> 00:48:02,940
That's all I have.

628
00:48:03,700 --> 00:48:04,660
Hey, thank you.

629
00:48:04,940 --> 00:48:07,500
It's so fun to, I get to see the work.

630
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,440
Well, maybe, let me just, just one thing.

631
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,420
I think, I just think this is one thing

632
00:48:11,420 --> 00:48:12,880
that's really cool about our industry.

633
00:48:13,900 --> 00:48:16,660
So, you should object to say, I started as a vehicle cleaner.

634
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,060
He started as someone clean the buses.

635
00:48:18,660 --> 00:48:24,940
part time job. You know, I'm going to be here for a year. And now he's he's our maintenance

636
00:48:24,940 --> 00:48:29,280
supervisor when it comes to vehicle maintenance. So one that's cool just to see that upward

637
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,920
mobility within the organization that obviously that culture stuff that it's kept him here.

638
00:48:34,940 --> 00:48:41,240
But I think if you go around in our collective office, you'll find that probably 80% of us

639
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:44,700
thought we were going to be here part time for just a little while. And we ended up staying.

640
00:48:44,700 --> 00:48:47,160
And I just think that's something that's in our industry.

641
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,060
Ron probably sees this all the time too.

642
00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:50,320
I just think that's really cool.

643
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,200
So anyway, sorry, I just wanted to highlight that.

644
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:54,760
Todd Knight, both started as drivers.

645
00:48:55,420 --> 00:48:56,240
Yeah, I don't know, but Ron,

646
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,600
I didn't think I was going to be doing this

647
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,220
for 30 plus years, so.

648
00:49:01,510 --> 00:49:02,470
Yeah, it's very cool.

649
00:49:02,770 --> 00:49:06,890
And we'll do those employee universities at the end of the day,

650
00:49:06,950 --> 00:49:09,850
but yeah, isn't it amazing?

651
00:49:10,190 --> 00:49:12,690
And it is so much because of the positive culture

652
00:49:12,690 --> 00:49:15,670
that you guys have worked to create here.

653
00:49:17,590 --> 00:49:19,370
Pay questions for management.

654
00:49:24,420 --> 00:49:25,620
The transit center.

655
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:26,000
Uh-huh.

656
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,280
Anything going on on that?

657
00:49:28,460 --> 00:49:32,920
I mean, we were going for funds to do that.

658
00:49:33,460 --> 00:49:36,360
Yeah, so we put in a request for Congress one more.

659
00:49:37,020 --> 00:49:40,460
That request has made it from his office into his request.

660
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,300
We asked for two million.

661
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,540
They pulled that back to one million.

662
00:49:44,540 --> 00:49:49,960
But typically, once it's made at that point, we will see that, but it's not technically

663
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,660
going to be available until they pass a new transportation bill.

664
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:01,400
And so we probably really won't see or hear anything definitive until probably February

665
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,600
March of next year or something like that.

666
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,000
So we're just kind of in a holding pattern, right?

667
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:08,960
It stays at one million.

668
00:50:09,780 --> 00:50:12,220
But that's what the request was from his office, yeah.

669
00:50:12,220 --> 00:50:12,460
No.

670
00:50:12,700 --> 00:50:14,120
There's nothing for the state.

671
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:15,060
Right.

672
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,520
Not right, currently.

673
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:21,740
We're pursuing other things with the state, but not about that, but I mean, again, we have

674
00:50:21,740 --> 00:50:26,340
funding and fund balance that the board could say, hey, let's use it for that, or.

675
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:27,340
What was that for?

676
00:50:28,420 --> 00:50:31,360
I was 25 years old, 26 years old.

677
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:38,180
We're looking at the interior, not changing the exterior at all, but is it time to look

678
00:50:38,180 --> 00:50:41,840
at redesigning the interior and make it a little bit more conducive to what we're seeing

679
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:48,300
the needs of the passengers to have. But as you know, it's a beautiful building. We're not looking to change the outside at all.

680
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,500
And the inside here we're going to do was a restroom.

681
00:50:53,060 --> 00:50:58,620
Yeah, I mean, just changing up the configuration of how that area might be made.

682
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,900
And just with technology, what are the things that we can do?

683
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:11,180
I mean, it was designed around us. This is designed that we could have technology at each of the bus locations where you have real time signage and stuff like that.

684
00:51:11,180 --> 00:51:15,920
Just so just looking at what the technology is and what will we, what needs do we see?

685
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,560
I was also thinking about the transit center.

686
00:51:19,740 --> 00:51:26,180
It might probably give a picture of it or whatnot, but I was thinking we talked about windows, replacing windows.

687
00:51:27,060 --> 00:51:28,160
Did we do that?

688
00:51:28,260 --> 00:51:29,320
That's in this year's budget.

689
00:51:29,940 --> 00:51:31,260
It's in this year's budget.

690
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,920
It's in this year's budget and it's in this year's budget.

691
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:38,440
And we wanted to go off to explain that.

692
00:51:38,460 --> 00:51:38,620
Yeah.

693
00:51:38,620 --> 00:51:51,520
So we we had in this year's budget. We started it the process went through all in our procurement guidelines awarded to a contractor and the contractor no showed and didn't perform.

694
00:51:52,080 --> 00:52:03,460
So we had to basically restart the process. So the hope is getting another contract in many probably knows more of the status, but the hope is to get the contractor in and still get it done this year.

695
00:52:04,720 --> 00:52:09,800
there's still time, but yeah, there was some frustration.

696
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,180
Are you still like 17 bits or you're done with it?

697
00:52:15,540 --> 00:52:17,160
I don't have to check, but Travis, I don't know.

698
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,160
I think they're kind of linking and stuff,

699
00:52:19,340 --> 00:52:21,120
so I think they're just fixing those.

700
00:52:21,740 --> 00:52:24,020
Just because we're still in more local to begin with,

701
00:52:24,140 --> 00:52:25,020
and then that was the problem.

702
00:52:25,180 --> 00:52:26,600
So it's standing a little further.

703
00:52:26,940 --> 00:52:31,010
It's like ongoing Salt Lake trying to get Chelsea.

704
00:52:31,010 --> 00:52:34,810
So, are we putting the advertising on the next agenda?

705
00:52:35,950 --> 00:52:37,150
So, to you guys.

706
00:52:38,470 --> 00:52:39,470
That's the following up.

707
00:52:39,530 --> 00:52:43,110
No, that's entirely up to the board chair.

708
00:52:43,350 --> 00:52:44,770
The executive, you as a board.

709
00:52:45,270 --> 00:52:49,850
So, I think if you want to, that's a good management look at that policy

710
00:52:49,850 --> 00:52:53,090
and or one of the committees, I guess, good as well.

711
00:52:53,530 --> 00:52:55,950
And make a recommendation.

712
00:52:56,350 --> 00:52:56,490
Yeah.

713
00:52:59,930 --> 00:53:00,510
Which committee?

714
00:53:00,510 --> 00:53:07,810
I know. I'm saying legislating would be a good spot. It's a policy that you have, you know? But, yeah, definitely.

715
00:53:08,910 --> 00:53:13,650
I would recommend that committee looking at that. Which committee? What's this?

716
00:53:14,610 --> 00:53:15,310
Oh, I see.

717
00:53:15,910 --> 00:53:17,190
You've got it. I'm serious.

718
00:53:20,330 --> 00:53:21,450
We'll be here.

719
00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:25,710
We'll get with you and we'll figure it out from your own.

720
00:53:36,070 --> 00:53:42,610
That's what you guys want to do, so we can definitely need legislative committee and

721
00:53:43,550 --> 00:53:45,470
talk about it and then bring it to.

722
00:53:46,730 --> 00:53:50,250
And it might not be around for a week and put it off to a month, you know.

723
00:53:50,250 --> 00:53:57,030
Yeah, yeah, I don't think there will be a contract involved and a contract firm,

724
00:53:57,030 --> 00:54:01,650
which all of that stuff will bring to the committee and discuss, right? So,

725
00:54:02,850 --> 00:54:07,110
but yeah. You guys do contracts, are they usually like a year or

726
00:54:07,110 --> 00:54:12,450
they're usually on the contract, you know, the item might even work for a year or five years?

727
00:54:13,590 --> 00:54:17,970
That's our PR people that's doing that. Yeah, it's a different group.

728
00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:24,110
I'll get with you. We'll find some calendar dates to work in the week. So I'm just going to check.

729
00:54:24,610 --> 00:54:26,490
The kids are, that's five years, for sure.

730
00:54:34,610 --> 00:54:35,950
You have any questions?

731
00:54:38,050 --> 00:54:43,330
Okay, well, we'll go to the board chair report and the recognition of employee

732
00:54:43,330 --> 00:54:52,970
anniversaries and we have a lot which is a good thing. So we'll start with June. So Richard Rose is

733
00:54:52,970 --> 00:55:10,250
a driver for 12 years and Joshua Jackman is a driver for seven years and Gustavo has been driving

734
00:55:10,250 --> 00:55:18,730
for five years. And I'm sorry for the record. I'm really sorry if I put your names. Shannon Gammel has

735
00:55:18,730 --> 00:55:22,550
been a driver for 19 years. I remember Shannon.

736
00:55:25,410 --> 00:55:30,270
So Carrie Thomas has been in administration for 11

737
00:55:30,270 --> 00:55:36,530
years and Sherees. Well, then Sherees, 10 years in administration. That's awesome.

738
00:55:37,370 --> 00:55:43,170
That was in July. We have moved on to July.

739
00:55:48,770 --> 00:55:54,770
Jason England has been in debt this much. He's been with us for seven years.

740
00:55:54,770 --> 00:56:05,270
and then, so moving into August, Jenny Hoy has been a driver for 24 years. And Chad

741
00:56:05,270 --> 00:56:07,290
shoots been a driver for 20 years.

742
00:56:09,590 --> 00:56:12,970
Brian Corbridge has been a driver for 15 years

743
00:56:12,970 --> 00:56:18,610
and Stephen Lindsay has been a driver for eight years. Andrew Walker and Nathan

744
00:56:18,610 --> 00:56:21,450
in shorts, have been drivers for five years.

745
00:56:22,110 --> 00:56:25,750
Mindy Spakman has been an admin for administration

746
00:56:25,750 --> 00:56:27,350
for 17 years.

747
00:56:27,570 --> 00:56:29,250
Yeah, I agree with that.

748
00:56:30,410 --> 00:56:33,310
Mindy also started on his admin the whole time.

749
00:56:33,530 --> 00:56:34,750
But yeah, I've been here at 17.

750
00:56:35,550 --> 00:56:36,590
You just started out as a driver.

751
00:56:37,350 --> 00:56:39,070
Did you do dispatch for a little bit?

752
00:56:41,310 --> 00:56:43,710
And I say, like your husband was also.

753
00:56:44,590 --> 00:56:45,250
Thanks a lot.

754
00:56:45,630 --> 00:56:45,770
Yeah.

755
00:56:46,170 --> 00:56:47,470
How many drivers are there?

756
00:56:48,510 --> 00:56:50,350
25-ish.

757
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,970
We're pushing 90.

758
00:56:54,750 --> 00:56:55,970
Total number per spill.

759
00:56:56,810 --> 00:56:59,190
20-5-726.

760
00:56:59,630 --> 00:57:02,910
Pretty awesome.

761
00:57:04,010 --> 00:57:09,150
Colton Fullmer has been our IT for 11 years.

762
00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:15,050
And Angel Huli has been an operations for 9 years.

763
00:57:16,070 --> 00:57:25,750
it's amazing. It really is. Hey, any other questions, comments?

764
00:57:29,420 --> 00:57:31,020
Right? Well, we're excited

765
00:57:31,020 --> 00:57:36,680
to get working on the budget and we will look forward to seeing everyone on September

766
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,720
December 23rd. Go ahead and then turn. Thanks everyone.
