ARE READY TO TAKE ACTION. AND I LEFT NEW YORK CITY IN THE EARLY.

MORNING, LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD. IT WAS A HARD FOUGHT ELECTION, BUT.

I WAS. YOU HAVE TO BE REAL CAREFUL ABOUT THESE THINGS.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY.

I DO KNOW THAT AT THE LAST MEETING I WAS HERE, I SAW THE DISCUSSION AND THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TAX POLICY AND.

ALL. THAT WE DID, WE THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

SAW SEVERAL UPDATES FROM THE CONSULTANTS THAT APPLIED FOR.

OUR TAX WAS VERY ACTIVE IN THE FIRST GROUP. THE FIRST BUDGET THAT MOST OF US WILL ACTUALLY BENEFIT.

IS QUITE.

A BIT, BUT I THINK.

WITH REGARD TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CURRENT POPULATION.

THE AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC COUNTS. WE SAW ALL OF THOSE EVERY DAY FOR THE.

LAST YEAR. WE AGREED WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE GROWTH IN TRANSIT TO SUPPORT THE OPERATION.

WITH THE COST PROJECTIONS. MADE.

UNANIMOUSLY. TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION.

TO. APPROVE.

THE PERFORMANCE OVER THE LAST YEAR. WE'RE. STARTING TO RETHINK THIS.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. JUST A COUPLE OF BRIEF COMMENTS.

I'M REALLY GLAD WE HAVE THE MTP DONE. SO DAVID AND CREW, THANKS FOR RALLYING THAT IN THE SAME VEIN.

I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT WE ENDED UP IN THE POSITION WE DID WITH THAT INTERVIEW FOR YOU, AND IF I COULD REQUEST ONE CHANGE AS WE GO FORWARD OVER THIS NEXT YEAR, IT'S PUT THE BOARD AND KEPT BETTER IN TOUCH WITH WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE STONES LIKE THAT AND ALMOST COST US A PROJECT TO DO THAT. SO IF WE COULD JUST INCREASE THAT, COMMUNICATIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

MR.. MR. PRESIDENT, WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DID TO RECOVER FROM THAT.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE APPROVAL AND THE BACKGROUND IS GOING TO ALLOW OUR WORK TO CONTINUE IN A LOT OF WAYS.

SO WHILE THE CONCERN THERE, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT THERE.

OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK THE WORLD WILL BE SUCCESSFUL FOR REVIEW AND VERIFICATION AND SO FORTH. SO ANY OTHER COMMENT? DID YOU NOT ALSO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF.

YOUR COMPANY? IN THE FIRST PLACE? I JUST WANTED TO.

SPEND.

MORE TIME. WITH.

GET SEEING NONE. WAS DISCUSSING THE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING RESOLUTION 15.

[8. Discuss and take appropriate action regarding Resolution 2024-15 authorizing a one-year extension of the Professional Services Agreement for the Executive Director and providing for a change in emolument]

HERE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. ALL OPPOSED?

[9. Discuss and take appropriate action to elect a Chair and Vice-Chair for the Transportation Policy Committee]

POLICY COMMITTEE. ISSUES FOR. THIS RECORD. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I THINK THIS BOARD HAS A LONG STANDING PRACTICE THAT DETERMINES THE ROTATION BACK AND FORTH.

WE ALSO HAD A LITTLE BIT OF AN UNUSUAL ITEM FOR YOU.

CURRENTLY SERVING VICE CHAIR REALLY HAS BEEN HERE FOR ONLY THREE MONTHS FOLLOWING THIS SHEILA PATTERSON STEPPING OUT EARLY.

I WOULD OFTEN MOTION THAT WE ME NOMINATE JUDGE CURTIS PARRISH, REPRESENTING LUBBOCK COUNTY, AS OUR CHAIR, AND THAT WE CONTINUE. DOCTOR JENNIFER WILSON AS THE VICE CHAIR.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TO SHARE.

WHAT? YOU'VE. SEEN A.

MOTION. GOOD. JUDGE, I ASSUME THAT YOU'RE ACCEPTING THAT WE'RE ALL RIGHT.

[10. Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the November and December meetings for the Transportation Policy Committee]

THIS IS A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I'D BE HAPPY TO DO WHATEVER IS NEEDED.

OKAY. YOU NEED TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. THIS.

GO. RIGHT.

THIS. IS ALSO THE CERTAIN CIRCLES. IF YOU HAVE A YELLOW CIRCLE HOLDING.

SO THE PROPOSAL FROM YOU IS TO CANCEL.

THOSE PROMISES BUT ALSO COMPARES FAVORABLY. SAY I.

DON'T REALLY AND DAVID FOR THE FOR THE. OKAY.

[11. Reports]

THE FDA APPROVED THE BUDGET FOR THE FIRST. AND THEN THE NEXT ITEM IS THE TO ANNOUNCE OUR NEW LEADERSHIP AT THE TAC. YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD FROM THE NEW CHAIR.

[00:15:03]

LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES ARE PRESENTED WITH THE AUTHORIZATION.

AND THEN THIS MORNING THERE ARE NECESSARY FINANCIAL REPORTS.

CONFIRMED THROUGH AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER. WE ARE STILL ONLY 88% COLLECTED ON OUR REVENUE.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE IF THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM WENT BONKERS AND THEY HADN'T COMPLETED THE THE ROLLOVER 2024. SO UNTIL THEY GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT, THEY WON'T BE REFLECTED IN THE FULL TRUSTEE. AND I WAS SHOWING ONLY 74% ON OUR EXPENSES.

SO. IS THAT AN OFFICIAL TERM FROM H.W.A? BONKERS.

THAT IS BONKERS. HOPEFULLY WE GET TO. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GO BACK AND REVIEW THAT AGAIN.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? OKAY. SEEING NONE.

AND AGAIN WE WILL ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 847.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. WE APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENDANCE.
