[0:07] CapMetro board meeting.
[0:09] >> Travillion: well, I
[0:10] should say good afternoon.
[0:12] Good afternoon, everybody.
[0:14] And thank you all for coming
[0:16] out to our public hearing
[0:17] and special board meeting.
[0:19] I will call this meeting to
[0:20] order.
[0:23] Today is wednesday, FEBRUARY 11th.
[0:29] The time is 12:22.
[0:30] With a quorum available.
[0:32] I have to check with my
[0:33] attorney, with a quorum
[0:34] available, we'll start the
[0:37] meeting at 12:22.
[0:40] We are going to rearrange
[0:41] our order.
[0:43] We're going directly to
[0:45] action items.
[0:46] And we will go -- when we
[0:48] finish our action item we'll
[0:51] go back to the front and
[0:54] then work on the rest of our
[0:55] agent.
[0:56] First item on our agenda,
[1:00] and I'll read it into the --
[1:01] I'll read it into the
[1:02] record, approval of a
[1:04] resolution authorizing the
[1:05] PRESIDENT And ceo or her
[1:13] designee to apply for the
[1:15] capital area metropolitan
[1:16] planning organization,
[1:18] campo, 202008-2031 call for
[1:20] projects, submitting both
[1:22] CapMetro's bus stop street
[1:24] furniture and equipment
[1:27] program and hybrid bus fleet
[1:29] upgrade program for campo
[1:31] consideration and committing
[1:32] to providing local match
[1:34] funding from CapMetro
[1:36] should the projects be
[1:37] selected.
[1:38] Anna land will make this
[1:39] presentation for us.
[1:40] >> absolutely.
[1:42] Good afternoon, members of
[1:45] the board, chair travillion,
[1:46] president and ceo dottie
[1:46] watkins.
[1:51] My name is anna land and we
[1:52] are here to seek approval
[1:54] for the two projects that
[1:57] chair travillion started.
[1:58] The bus stops churn and
[1:59] equipment program and the
[2:00] hybrid bus fleet upgrade
[2:01] program.
[2:03] This was originally
[2:06] presented on JANUARY 14th to
[2:09] the finance audit and
[2:10] administration committee and
[2:14] was supposed to be on the
[2:14] JANUARY 26th board agenda
[2:16] that was rescheduled due to
[2:16] weather.
[2:17] We are seeking the
[2:19] application for these two
[2:19] projects.
[2:21] Under the campo call for
[2:23] projects, which is basically
[2:26] a competition for federal
[2:27] transportation funds
[2:29] eligible follow roadways,
[2:30] transit, multimodal
[2:32] improvements and safety
[2:32] enhancements.
[2:33] There are three different
[2:34] categories that we would
[2:35] like to apply under, and
[2:37] they are the service
[2:39] transportation block grant,
[2:40] transportation alternative
[2:41] set aside and the carbon
[2:42] reductions program.
[2:45] The first project is the
[2:47] CapMetro bus stop street
[2:48] furniture and equipment
[2:48] program.
[2:50] We are seeking funds to
[2:53] install 120 bus stop
[2:56] shelters and 76 priority
[2:58] transit stops.
[3:00] It is a little over
[3:01] 8.1 million and if awarded
[3:02] we would commit to a match
[3:05] of approximately a little
[3:06] over 1.6 million.
[3:08] the second is the hybrid bus
[3:11] fleet upgrade program.
[3:13] This is for the purchase of
[3:14] 18 diesel electric hybrid
[3:17] buses to replace our
[3:18] electric fleet and it
[3:19] supports our state of good
[3:21] repair goals.
[3:22] The total project cost is
[3:24] $27 million, and if awarded
[3:27] we commit to a local match
[3:28] of $5.4 million.
[3:29] And that's the end if you
[3:34] have any questions.
[3:35] >> Travillion: board
[3:36] members, do we have any
[3:36] questions?
[3:38] Do we have any questions?
[3:40] Have any questions?
[3:42] Hearing none, chair will
[3:43] entertain a motion to --
[3:45] >> chair, before we take
[3:46] that motion, I've been
[3:47] informed that one of our
[3:48] public speakers signed up to
[3:50] speak not just on the public
[3:51] hearing, but also on this
[3:52] action item, so I think it
[3:53] would make sense that we
[3:55] hear from them before the
[3:56] board takes a vote.
[3:59] >> Travillion: all right.
[4:00] Would that be MS. Joseph?
[4:01] >> I believe so.
[4:03] >> MS. Joseph, are you with
[4:18] us?
[4:19] Yes, MR. Easton.
[4:20] What is it you want me to
[4:22] comment on, is it the public
[4:24] hearing or the action item?
[4:25] I know you changed some
[4:27] order or something, but I
[4:27] didn't catch all that was
[4:29] said at the beginning of the
[4:31] meeting.
[4:31] >> Travillion: the action
[4:33] item.
[4:34] >> okay.
[4:36] Thank you, MR. Chair,
[4:37] members, I'm zenobia joseph.
[4:40] i just wanted to say as it
[4:45] relate specifically to the
[4:46] capital area metropolitan
[4:47] planning organization, as it
[4:49] relates to the bus stop
[4:51] furniture, I just want you
[4:52] to recognize -- and I
[4:53] mentioned this in the
[4:56] finance committee as well.
[5:01] Specifically at 100041 st.
[5:04] Albert the great catholic
[5:06] church, 12100 is on metric,
[5:07] there was a bus stop shelter
[5:09] that was just placed there
[5:10] within the last two weeks,
[5:12] and also one on parmer or
[5:14] near parmer at parmer
[5:15] elementary, but I would just
[5:17] remind you specifically that
[5:21] at braker and metric there
[5:23] is still a flat beverage for
[5:24] route 392, and I would ask
[5:26] you to recognize as well
[5:27] that the trashcans as I have
[5:30] mentioned before are being
[5:32] removed from CapMetro's
[5:33] bus stops, specifically
[5:35] north plaza and rundberg.
[5:36] And there are trashcans that
[5:42] have been removed from 392
[5:45] stop by [Indiscernible],
[5:46] rotter ham and shropshire,
[5:47] so while you are asking for
[5:49] more amenities, the question
[5:50] is why is it that you're
[5:52] unilaterally allowing the
[5:57] staff to remove those from
[5:58] the bus stops?
[5:59] Receiving more is not going
[6:00] to make the system more
[6:01] equitable.
[6:02] I would remind you that
[6:07] northeast of U.S. 183 the
[6:08] system is actually
[6:09] inequitable there.
[6:10] I would call to your
[6:12] attention the letter that
[6:14] was written by sharmila
[6:15] [Indiscernible] That said
[6:16] 50% of the enhanced stops
[6:18] were on rundberg, which is
[6:20] not true.
[6:22] So I've asked MR. Palmer to
[6:23] analyze the bus stop
[6:24] shelters and the
[6:28] distribution of those
[6:30] assets, the yellow book
[6:31] gives him his guidelines.
[6:33] He has not done so at this
[6:34] point, but I would remind
[6:36] you that the pass-through
[6:38] funds that you receive are
[6:39] from the federal highway
[6:40] administration and your
[6:42] systems, as my comments are,
[6:44] arrest in the context of the
[6:46] civil rights act of 1964,
[6:47] which prohibits
[6:48] discrimination based on
[6:49] race, color, national
[6:51] origin, and your system is
[6:52] inequitable as it relates to
[6:54] the bus stop shelters and
[6:54] amenities.
[6:55] So I actually am against
[6:56] that.
[6:57] I know that travis county
[6:59] will be looking at this item
[7:00] tomorrow and I'm also
[7:02] against the red line parkway
[7:03] trail funding.
[7:05] It's about $2 million that's
[7:07] in the same call for
[7:07] projects.
[7:09] So I just would ask you to
[7:11] take a look at the north
[7:13] lamar area in particular and
[7:15] to ceo dottie watkins, I
[7:16] just want to remind you that
[7:18] the mid block stops need to
[7:19] be closed on lamar,
[7:27] especially at yager where
[7:28] MR. [Indiscernible] Was
[7:29] killed in JULY 25.
[7:31] Same area as MR. Norton in
[7:33] 2026 on or about
[7:34] JANUARY 30th, he was hit and
[7:37] then he died from his
[7:37] injuries.
[7:39] His service dog lived.
[7:40] those are my comments as it
[7:42] relates specifically to this
[7:42] item.
[7:44] I'm not sure whether the
[7:45] action item.
[7:47] I told MR. Easton the item I
[7:48] would speak on.
[7:49] I would ask you to be
[7:50] transparent on why you
[7:52] removed the summary of
[7:53] comments so that actually
[7:56] aligns with your minutes.
[7:58] That is in my view
[7:58] discrimination and I would
[7:59] ask you to be transparent on
[8:01] why you no longer put our
[8:02] comments in the board
[8:02] packet.
[8:04] If you have any questions I
[8:05] would gladly answer them at
[8:06] this time and would ask for
[8:07] guidance as it relates to
[8:08] the public hearing.
[8:09] >> Travillion: all right.
[8:11] Board members, do we have
[8:12] questions?
[8:13] Do we have any questions?
[8:15] All right.
[8:18] Thank you, it MS. Joseph.
[8:20] Also, is there anyone else
[8:22] that would like to address
[8:23] the board here during the
[8:24] public comment period?
[8:25] Anyone else that would like
[8:30] to address the board?
[8:31] Oh, this is the action item,
[8:32] not public comment.
[8:35] Let me take that back and
[8:36] ask if there are no
[8:37] questions, the chair will
[8:38] entertain a motion to
[8:40] approve action item number
[8:45] 1.
[8:46] Okay.
[8:47] All right.
[8:49] It's been moved and properly
[8:51] seconded that we approve
[8:53] action item number 1.
[8:55] Any further discussion?
[8:57] Any further discussion?
[9:00] any further discussion?
[9:02] Hearing none, all in favor
[9:04] of approving action item
[9:05] number 1.
[9:06] And I need to make sure that
[9:07] our board members are on
[9:08] camera.
[9:10] I see both board members on
[9:10] camera.
[9:13] All in favor of approving
[9:15] item number 1, please let it
[9:17] be known by saying aye.
[9:19] >> [Chorus of ayes].
[9:21] >> Travillion: all right.
[9:24] And so it looks like I have
[9:29] four ayes and I will make it
[9:29] unanimous.
[9:31] So action item number 1 has
[9:32] been approved.
[9:35] Thank you.
[9:38] Now let me go back -- we
[9:41] called to order at 12:22.
[9:45] Now we will move into on
[9:48] presentation for the public
[9:49] hearing, which should be
[9:51] before public comments.
[9:52] All right.
[9:55] So let's put the
[9:55] presentation together.
[10:01] That will be peter braden to
[10:03] present.
[10:05] >> good afternoon, chair
[10:06] travillion, PRESIDENT And
[10:07] ceo watkins and members of
[10:08] the board.
[10:11] My name is peter brentton, I
[10:12] am a senior community
[10:13] engagement coordinator here
[10:15] on behalf of the CapMetro
[10:17] team working on improving
[10:18] our fare programs.
[10:19] I hope for your health and
[10:20] safety you can remembered to
[10:23] book your valentine's day
[10:23] reservations.
[10:26] I am here today to present
[10:29] on who topics, the day past
[10:33] retirement and the farebox
[10:33] replacement.
[10:34] >> health and safety.
[10:35] >> yes.
[10:36] Before we get into depth I
[10:38] want to point out that these
[10:40] two items, while distinct,
[10:41] go hand in hand.
[10:45] They're linked.
[10:46] That perspective -- from
[10:47] that perspective we expect
[10:47] that customers will
[10:51] experience this as one
[10:51] change.
[10:52] That's important because
[10:53] we've been making strategic
[10:54] steps over the past few
[10:56] years to modernize our
[10:57] technology, improve the
[10:58] experience for our
[10:59] customers, and simplify the
[11:01] options when it comes to
[11:05] fares.
[11:06] Now, we'll start by talking
[11:07] about the day pass
[11:08] retirement and the farebox
[11:09] replacement, however, I want
[11:11] to provide you one piece of
[11:14] information out of order.
[11:15] Our fareboxes are 20 years
[11:19] old.
[11:22] Revenge of the sith, the
[11:24] ipad shuffle, the first
[11:25] video ever posted to
[11:26] YouTube.
[11:28] Technology has changed a lot
[11:30] since 2025 and considering
[11:32] the unfathomable advances in
[11:33] technology since the time
[11:35] our fareboxes were first
[11:38] installed, we have been able
[11:39] to identify and evaluate
[11:41] options for our customers to
[11:42] improve their experience and
[11:45] hopefully provide them more
[11:45] value.
[11:47] You'll see that we're
[11:49] talking about time based
[11:50] versus account-based payment
[11:51] systems on this slide, and
[11:54] there are a lot of words.
[11:55] What's important to note is
[11:57] that we are currently
[11:58] operating both of these
[12:00] systems at once and our
[12:01] momentum is towards
[12:02] operating only one.
[12:05] That is for simplicity,
[12:06] efficiency and a better
[12:08] experience for our
[12:10] customers.
[12:11] If you use a paper pass
[12:15] today, you are using the
[12:15] time-based system.
[12:18] When you activate or dip the
[12:20] paper pass, a timer starts,
[12:21] and you are able to swipe
[12:23] that pass as valid fare
[12:25] media for the time that that
[12:26] timer is active.
[12:29] If you use a reloadable fare
[12:32] card or the umo app, you are
[12:33] using the account-based
[12:34] payment system.
[12:35] You pay per ride and you are
[12:37] capped at certain amounts,
[12:42] certain thresholds.
[12:44] That paper pass, when you
[12:47] activate it, you steadily
[12:47] lose value.
[12:49] I like to think of it as an
[12:50] hour glass.
[12:51] You can only buy a specific
[12:54] amount of sand and you only
[12:55] have a specific amount of
[13:00] time to use it.
[13:01] If you lose the pass, if you
[13:03] get sick, if you decide I
[13:05] would rather take an uber
[13:06] home, you lose value.
[13:09] However, in contrast the
[13:10] account-based payment system
[13:13] lets you put in only as much
[13:15] sand as you need at one
[13:19] time, and if you lose your
[13:21] phone or the reloadable fare
[13:22] card you don't lose the
[13:23] value that you've put in so
[13:25] long as you've registered.
[13:27] It's recoverable.
[13:27] Considered the benefits for
[13:29] our customers, we've been
[13:30] making strategic steps over
[13:32] the past few years to
[13:34] prepare for a full
[13:36] transition from the
[13:37] time-based payment system to
[13:38] an account-based payment
[13:38] system.
[13:40] We are now at the point
[13:41] where we will make a big
[13:44] leap and retire the
[13:45] time-based payment system
[13:47] for all of our fixed route,
[13:50] local and commuter services.
[13:51] Here is a simple summary of
[13:53] the changes we are proposing
[13:58] to the fare structure.
[14:00] Local and community fares
[14:02] will see a removal of the
[14:03] time-based products and the
[14:05] capping of the thresholds
[14:07] stated explicitly rather
[14:10] than as references to the
[14:11] time-based pass product.
[14:13] There's also clarifications
[14:16] made to make pickup a
[14:19] discrete fare and state that
[14:20] fare capping does not apply
[14:22] to that service, codifying
[14:23] our current practice while
[14:25] we explore options for fare
[14:26] capping on pickup.
[14:28] We've also added language to
[14:29] define the intervals for
[14:31] fare capping with a daily
[14:34] fare cap being assessed
[14:36] during the service day and a
[14:38] monthly fare cap being
[14:40] assessed during a calendar
[14:41] month.
[14:45] We conducted a title six
[14:45] fair equity analysis in
[14:46] accordance with our fare
[14:47] policy because we're
[14:48] changing out the system
[14:49] works.
[14:50] Title vi studies are used to
[14:52] calculate whether changes in
[14:55] policies, programs or
[14:57] services from organizations
[15:00] receiving federal funding do
[15:01] not discriminate against
[15:03] people based on race, color
[15:04] or national origin as
[15:08] required by the title vi of
[15:09] the civil right act of 1964.
[15:11] The key findings of the
[15:13] study we conducted showed
[15:15] that more than 97% of all
[15:17] trips made using the service
[15:19] would not see a fare change,
[15:20] with fewer than three
[15:22] percent of all trips
[15:23] affected.
[15:25] These are trips made with
[15:27] day passes, purchased with
[15:30] cash on our buses or at
[15:31] ticket vending machines.
[15:33] If you are a customer that
[15:35] currently pays with cash for
[15:37] day passes and you ride
[15:37] frequently, you will
[15:39] actually benefit by
[15:41] transitioning to the umo app
[15:43] or the reloadable fare card
[15:44] because you get access to
[15:47] daily and monthly fare
[15:47] capping.
[15:50] We studied the impact of day
[15:51] pass retirement on two
[15:53] groups as part of the fair
[15:55] equity analysis, minority
[15:56] customers and low income
[15:57] customers.
[15:58] They then looked to see
[16:01] whether those groups MAY see
[16:02] disproportionate negative
[16:04] impacts or if those groups
[16:06] wouldn't receive
[16:07] proportionate benefits.
[16:10] When we viewing the impacts
[16:11] to minority customers we see
[16:12] no disparate impact.
[16:14] The impact we do see is
[16:16] minor with a less than two
[16:17] percent difference in the
[16:18] impact between minority
[16:21] customers and non-minority
[16:22] customers.
[16:23] When reviewing the impacts
[16:24] to low income customers, we
[16:26] see no disproportionate
[16:27] burden either.
[16:31] The impact we do see again
[16:32] is minor with less than two
[16:33] percent difference in the
[16:35] impact between low income
[16:37] and non-low income
[16:38] customers.
[16:38] Okay.
[16:40] Now I will move on to our
[16:41] farebox replacement, but
[16:43] before I do, I want to note
[16:44] that this year will be the
[16:48] 20th anniversary of the
[16:50] nintendo wii.
[16:52] Our farris boxes --
[16:56] >> you didn't say mtv.
[16:58] >> our fair boxes need to be
[16:59] replaced.
[17:01] They are no longer party r.
[17:01] Supported by the
[17:03] manufacturer and a new
[17:04] system will lower our
[17:05] ongoing costs of good
[17:06] repair.
[17:09] Knowing that an account an
[17:10] based payment system
[17:11] improves the customer
[17:11] experience and therefore
[17:13] planning for the retirement
[17:16] of the time-based payment
[17:17] system, we made the
[17:18] strategic decision to align
[17:20] the farebox replacement and
[17:21] day pass retirement.
[17:24] Our new validaters offer
[17:25] improved payment options
[17:27] that allow for fare capping
[17:29] such as the fare card and
[17:31] recently tap to pay, though
[17:34] tap to pay is only daily
[17:37] fare capping.
[17:38] There we go.
[17:40] The new fareboxes will still
[17:42] accept cash as payment for
[17:43] single rides.
[17:45] We do encourage customers
[17:49] who pay with cash to use a a
[17:51] reloadable fare card or the
[17:53] umo cap that ensures they
[17:54] will receive maximum value
[17:56] with daily and monthly fare
[17:57] capping.
[17:59] At the upcoming board
[17:59] meeting on the 23rd we
[18:01] will be asking the board to
[18:02] approve these fare structure
[18:03] changes.
[18:05] If approved, we will end all
[18:08] purchases of day passes
[18:10] starting MARCH 1st and
[18:11] sales of day passes on buses
[18:16] and tv ms, ticket vending
[18:17] machines, in early MAY and
[18:19] stop accepting paper parses
[18:22] on our buses JUNE 1st.
[18:23] Installation of the new
[18:24] fareboxes would span roughly
[18:26] from JUNE 1st to SEPTEMBER 1st and we
[18:29] expect to end our paper pass
[18:30] exchange program at the end
[18:31] of the calendar year.
[18:33] The exchange program is
[18:34] still in development.
[18:36] We expect to launch it
[18:38] before JUNE.
[18:38] Thank you very much.
[18:39] I hope the information was
[18:40] helpful.
[18:41] Happy to answer any
[18:43] questions you MAY have.
[18:44] >> Travillion: board
[18:46] members, do we have any
[18:49] questions?
[18:50] Yes, go ahead board member
[18:51] vela.
[18:52] >> Vela: thank you, chair.
[18:53] What percentage of our
[18:54] customers are still using
[18:56] cash?
[18:58] >> that is a great question.
[19:01] I MAY lean on some of my
[19:03] colleagues here in the room.
[19:05] I know -- we can follow up.
[19:06] >> Vela: great.
[19:07] I know it's a small
[19:09] percentage, but just out of
[19:10] curiosity I was wondering
[19:14] how many folks it is.
[19:15] >> Travillion: okay.
[19:17] Any additional questions?
[19:20] if there's no questions,
[19:22] additional questions?
[19:24] Hearing none, thank you, but
[19:25] you might want to stay close
[19:26] because I will open up the
[19:30] public hearing and we'll
[19:34] take up public comments on
[19:36] the fares item and give the
[19:36] general public an
[19:37] opportunity to tell us
[19:38] whatever they want to tell
[19:38] us.
[19:39] >> thank you.
[19:40] >> Travillion: so let's
[19:41] see, I understand we have
[19:43] one speaker who has signed
[19:44] up in advance.
[19:46] Let's see, can we call
[19:47] MS. Joseph back.
[19:49] >> MS. Joseph, did you want
[19:50] to make additional comments
[19:59] today?
[20:00] >> Travillion: is she
[20:01] still with us?
[20:06] >> yes, I'm on the line.
[20:08] Thank you, MR. Chair.
[20:09] Okay.
[20:11] Thank you, MR. Chair,
[20:12] members.
[20:12] I'm zenobia joseph.
[20:15] I wanted to make my comments
[20:16] in the context of title vi
[20:18] of the civil rights act of
[20:19] 1964, which prohibits
[20:20] similar education based on
[20:21] race, color, national
[20:22] origin.
[20:24] I do see you have a title vi
[20:26] fare equity analysis on page
[20:28] nine of 86.
[20:30] However, it is disingenuous
[20:31] for your staff member to say
[20:32] that fewer than three
[20:33] percent of the trips are
[20:34] affected.
[20:36] Especially for people who
[20:37] MAY take more than two trips
[20:38] a day or twice a day.
[20:40] I want to remind you that
[20:44] cap remap JUNE 3rd, 2018,
[20:45] eliminated north, east,
[20:46] west, connectivity so
[20:47] starting there you already
[20:48] know that people have to
[20:50] take more than two buses to
[20:52] get anywhere if you are
[20:53] northeast of U.S. 183.
[20:55] I want you to recognize that
[20:58] your origins and
[20:58] destinations survey from
[21:01] 2023, there's a good article
[21:03] in the austin monitor by
[21:05] nina hernandez, OCTOBER 6,
[21:06] 2023, that specified that
[21:08] african-american riders are
[21:09] the most transit dependent
[21:11] and it went up to 88%.
[21:14] So the question is did you
[21:16] actually analyze what impact
[21:17] this would have on
[21:18] african-americans in
[21:18] particular?
[21:19] And then the immigrants that
[21:22] are northeast of U.S. 183
[21:24] and the hispanic riders too.
[21:27] I want to remind you that it
[21:28] was MARCH 25, 2024, when
[21:30] your service analysis
[21:35] manager jennifer govea said
[21:36] if a passenger needs three
[21:38] vehicles to get to their
[21:38] destination they're counted
[21:39] three times.
[21:42] So you are double and triple
[21:42] counting the minority
[21:43] population and specifically
[21:45] she said, quote, this is
[21:47] part of our federal funding
[21:49] allocation and our formula
[21:51] for receiving funds from the
[21:53] fta, unquote, federal
[21:53] transit, administration.
[21:57] I do want you to recognize,
[21:57] MR. Chair, that this does
[22:00] have a disparate impact on
[22:01] african-americans and low
[22:04] income riders a
[22:04] disproportionate burden.
[22:06] If you are asking people to
[22:07] pay 1 fiscal year $25 per
[22:12] ride, that's $1.25, 250 for
[22:13] just going on two buses
[22:15] before they even get to
[22:15] work, that's about five
[22:16] dollars.
[22:17] They have to get back,
[22:18] that's about ten dollars
[22:20] round trip.
[22:21] That's more than the actual
[22:22] commuter pass.
[22:24] I want to remind you that
[22:25] the commuters also ride free
[22:28] on game days when the train
[22:29] is too full and they can't
[22:34] even get to the farebox on
[22:35] the 803 metro rapid.
[22:38] I would ask you to table
[22:40] this item, do the analysis
[22:41] appropriately as opposed to
[22:43] selling the system to us as
[22:44] though it's the best thing
[22:45] since sliced bread.
[22:47] I want you to recognize that
[22:48] you already have arguments
[22:50] between the unhoused people
[22:53] and people who get on the
[22:55] bus and you have the
[22:55] 20-year-olds and students
[22:57] who have no id because you
[22:59] haven't enforced it.
[23:00] This is discriminatory and I
[23:01] would ask you to recognize
[23:03] that more needs to be done
[23:04] to make the system equitable
[23:06] as opposed to diminishing
[23:09] the service and treating us
[23:10] like second class citizens.
[23:12] If you have any questions, I
[23:13] would gladly answer them at
[23:15] this time, but your analysis
[23:17] is flawed because it does
[23:18] not take in consideration
[23:20] the routes that very
[23:22] eliminated by roberta
[23:22] gonza
[23:24] lez, who was there when
[23:24] she made her presentation to
[23:26] the board, and it is time
[23:27] for him to retire.
[23:29] If you have any questions,
[23:30] i'll gladly answer them at
[23:30] this time.
[23:32] Thank you for allowing me to
[23:32] make my comments.
[23:33] >> Travillion: board
[23:34] members, do you have any
[23:35] questions?
[23:36] Do you have any questions?
[23:40] Hearing none, thank you very
[23:41] much for your presentation.
[23:43] >> thank you, MR. Chair.
[23:44] >> Travillion: is there
[23:45] anyone else in the audience
[23:47] that would like to address
[23:49] the board?
[23:51] Any other -- any other -- do
[23:54] we have any calls, ed?
[23:55] Okay.
[23:56] So without anyone who wants
[23:59] to make a presentation in
[24:01] the audience, without any
[24:03] additional calls, then I
[24:05] will call this meeting -- I
[24:07] will close this meeting at
[24:10] 12:46.
[24:12] 12:46.
[24:15] Any questions or
[24:15] observations?
[24:16] [Pounding of gavel].
[24:17] All right, the meeting is
