A
A
Motion
by
arturo
dominguez,
second
by
mr
duenas
votes
in
favor.
A
Okay,
mr
gonzalo
welcome.
A
Item
number
five
items
for
discussion:
we
have
the
presentation
by
cbp
regarding
the
fast
city
park
and
other
programs
initiative,
and
we
have
mr
albert
flores
for
director
of
laredo
and
mr
javier
vazquez
welcome
to
the
podium
mr
torres.
H
All
right
well
good
afternoon,
everybody
below
to
you
that
I
haven't
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
again.
My
name
is-
and
I
am
the
board
director
here
at
the
narrator
port
of
entry-
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
this
afternoon
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
programs
and
initiatives
that
we've
implemented
here
in
the
last
several
months
at
the
port
of
radio,
just
to
kind
of
give
you
a
little
background
so
about
maybe
around
that.
H
This
time
last
year
we
were
experiencing
some
heavy
congestion,
long
wait
times
and,
of
course,
receiving
a
lot
of
complaints
from
our
stakeholders
regarding
the
obvious
traffic
issues
at
the
world
trade
bridge
specifically,
so
the
team
then
started
looking
at
ways
to
to
kind
of
alleviate
some
of
those
wait
times
and
part
and
some
of
those
initiatives
we
kicked
off,
of
course,
with
the
help
of
some
of
the
the
stakeholders.
H
Since
then,
we've
actually
been
able
to
to
reduce
the
wait
times
that
will
trade
bridge
drastically.
Nowadays,
you
really
don't
see
the
long
wait
times
that
you
would
normally
see
this
time.
Last
year,
we've
talked
to
some
of
our
trade
stakeholders
and
in
particular,
of
course,
some
of
the
carriers
and,
of
course,
some
of
the
importers,
and
a
lot
of
it
has,
you
know,
been
a
result
of
what
we've
done.
H
Have
you
know,
given
us
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
so
for
the
puerto
rico,
as
you
know,
it's
the
busiest
inland
port
of
entry
processing,
roughly
between
2.3
2.4
million
trucks
annually.
H
So
we
look
at
the
the
stats
from
last
year
compared
to
the
end
of
this
year,
and
I
can't
really,
you
know,
make
these
official
numbers
because
they
really
haven't
been
vetted
at
headquarters,
but
just
to
kind
of
give
you
an
estimate.
If
we're
looking
at
a
support.
Overall,
we
increased
our
overall
traffic
numbers
by
12
and
that's
for
both
traffic
process
processing
at
world
trade
bridge
and
at
columbia.
H
It's
up
to
this
point
right
now
in
october,
right
yeah,
so
the
end
of
september,
meaning
the
end
of
fiscal
year
2021
and
we
compared
those
to
2020.
again
12
increase
we're
processing
roughly
about
9
100
trucks
daily
as
a
port.
H
If
we're
looking
specifically
at
our
fast
cargo,
we
have
seen
about
a
31
increase
of
those
shipments
being
offered
at
the
at
the
porter
radio
now
to
be
able
to
process
or
to
cross
a
truck
under
the
fast
program.
You
have
to
be
ct
path.
Certified,
so
ctpad
is
a
voluntary
program
that
is
offered
to
the
importing
community.
H
Obviously,
there
are
some
requirements
and
the
best
way
that
I
like
to
describe
the
ct
pad
to
kind
of
let
a
lot
of
people
understand
is
like
for
those
of
you
that
have
global
entry
or
century.
It's
very
similar
to
that.
But
this
is
on
the
trade
side
of
the
house,
but
again
it's
offered
to
the
imported
community,
so
normally
for
a
fast
shipment
to
qualify.
You
have
to
have
the
manufacturer,
the
importer
and
the
carrier
ctpad
certified
the
last
piece
to
have
that
cargo
offered
to
at
the
port
of
engineering.
H
The
fashion
is
the
driver.
The
driver
needs
to
have
his
fast
card,
you
know
in
hand
or
approved
by
the
fast
office
to
be
able
to
cross
that
shipment
and
our
fast
drivers
like
the
century
and
global
participants
undergo
a
24-hour
wedding
daily
to
ensure
that
the
driver
is,
you
know
in
compliance
and
hasn't
done
anything
that
would
violate
his
his.
You
know
participation
in
the
program.
H
So
again
we
process
about
1500
shipments
at
the
wool
tree
bridge
that
are
offered
under
this
program.
Right
now,
the
portland
radio
has
about
5300
drivers
that
are
approved
to
cross
at
the
puerto
rio
with
the
fast
card
really
hard
to
give
a
number.
H
As
far
as
the
ct,
the
companies
that
actually
utilize
the
porter
rado,
because
again,
a
lot
of
these
companies
have
multiple
companies
in
mexico
and
in
the
us,
so
a
lot
of
them
can
have
ctpad
certification,
but
we
kind
of
were
able
to
narrow
down
to
roughly
about
150
different
companies
that
actually
use
the
polar
rate,
and
that
number
can
obviously
be
a
lot
more
if
we
were
to
break
it
down
by
the
subsidiaries
of
all
those
companies.
H
H
As
you
know,
we
have
partnered
up
with
the
city
of
laredo
and
there's
a
construction
of
four
additional
lanes
at
the
wool
tree
bridge
that
will
be
located
outside
the
facility
and,
if
you're,
looking
at,
if
you're
looking
north
on
the
bridge
man,
it's
a
direct
shot.
You
know
from
the
bridge
up
through
this,
these
fast
lanes
and
out
into
the
interstate,
which
is
going
to
be
a
huge
benefit
for
our
ctpad
fast
participants.
H
Again,
we're
really
looking
into
increasing
our
participation
of
importers
in
this
program,
and
I
realize
that
right
now
there
is
a
huge
challenge
of
of
getting
new
companies
enrolling
in
this
program
to
get
certified,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
attributed,
of
course,
with
the
people
that
do
these
validations
in
mexico
because
of
the
security
risk
in
certain
parts
in
mexico
and
of
course,
with
the
pandemic,
have
really
you
know,
put
delayed,
have
delayed
a
lot
of
these
certifications
for
the
ctpad
specialists
that
go
down
and
do
these
verifications,
but
again
working
with
our
headquarters
group
and
this
particular
office.
H
H
If
we
really
want
this
program
to
work,
to
expand
here
locally,
but
again
hearing
it
from
our
stakeholders
and
and
realizing
that
it's
important
to
be
able
to
grow
the
program
where
we're
pushing
from
our
side
and
again
we
tell
our
stakeholders
that
you
know
we
need
them
to
equally.
Do
the
same
to
to
get
these
people
to
to
get
the
certification
done,
because
it's
it's
an
office,
that's
completely
sits
out
of
a
field
operation
is
so
it's
very
hard
to
to
get
them
to
to
go
out.
I
H
So
for
again
this
is
unofficial,
but
so
we're
looking
at
about
two
to
three
percent
at
wall
tree
bridge
and
then
the
rest
at
the
columbia
bridge.
I
Mainly
to
the
I'm,
assuming.
H
So
a
part
of
it
is,
but
we
did
start
tracking.
You
know
when
we
redirected
the
non-ct
pad
empties
to
colombia.
H
Obviously
the
the
immediate
impact
was
going
to
be
those
a
thousand
empties
that
we
redirected
to
colombia,
but
as
the
month
started
going,
we
started
noticing
that
we
also
started
seeing
increase
of
loads
again,
we
suspect,
because
again,
colombia
was
obviously
a
bridge
crossing
that
not
a
lot
of
our
local
trade
community
likes
to
to
utilize,
but
I
think
with
more
and
more
trucking
companies
using
colombia,
I
think
they
realized
that
it
wasn't
that
bad
after
all,
because
again,
there
was
obviously
some
some
challenging
things
there
for
for
a
particular
group
because
of
of
a
particular
installation,
that's
outside
our
import
lot
that
deterred
some
of
these
people
to
go
out
to
to
colombia,
but
I
think
once
they
started
going
out
there
and
seeing
that
the
the
trips
actually
weren't
that
bad,
I
think,
is
attributing
to
some
of
those
loads
actually
increasing
and
aside.
H
We
do
a
lot
of
outreach
as
well.
We've
done
a
lot
of
outreach
with,
in
particular
with
our
produce
partners
that
that
use
colombia
and
we
are
seeing
those
companies
shifting
a
lot
of
their
cargo
from
from
other
ports
of
entry
to
the
columbia
bridge.
We're
referring
to
that
process,
so
part
of
it
is
because
of
the
unified
cargo
inspection
that
we
have
at
columbia.
H
Again,
it's
a
different
model
that
we
have.
We
do
have
a
unified
cargo
processing
model
at
each
of
our
cargo
locations,
but
each
one
is
differently.
The
columbia
bridge
is
unique
because
we
actually
have
our
sat
officers,
our
mexican
customs
counterparts,
actually
in
our
facility
they're
side
by
side
in
our
in
our
primary
booth.
So
any
of
those
trucks
that
are
participating
in
this
program,
the
very
first
stop
that
they
make
is
on
the
u.s
side
in
our
primary
booths.
H
So
at
that
time,
they're
getting
processed
by
our
by
the
mexican
customs
and
then,
of
course,
by
our
cbp
officers.
If
that
is
if
that
shipment
requires
an
inspection,
then
that
inspection
gets
obviously
a
frontal
line
privilege
and
it's
done
jointly
one
inspection
and,
of
course
it
gets
released
from
one
site.
So
obviously
it's
attracted
a
lot
of
importers
specifically
to
you
know
our
produce,
but
again
we
do
have
other
other
participants
that
participate
in
that
program
as
well.
H
You
know
that
model
was
actually
adopted
as
a
result
of
the
2017
storm.
Again
we
were
rushed
into
trying
to
move
cargo
into
world
trade
bridge.
That
model
is
a
little
bit
different.
The
only
thing
that
we
do
at
wall
trade
bridge
is
the
actual
inspection
the
whole
processing
the
mexican
portion
is
still
done
on
the
mexican
side.
I
H
We're
working
on
it
so
again
when
we
were
asked
how
we
would
like
our
our
primary
boost,
designed
these
four
new
fast
things
that
were
that
this,
that
that
we're
building
they're
actually
being
built
with
the
ability
to
have
both
the
sad
officer
and
the
customs
officer.
You
know,
sitting
in
the
same
booth
again,
a
lot
of
that
will
be
dependent
on
whether
our
staff
partners
in
rebel
laredo
would
be
willing
to
to
have
their
officers.
H
You
know
sit
there,
but
we
got
to
realize
that
they
are
working
with
the
pita
program
that
is
fully
automated,
so
that
you
know,
might
have
some
issues
on
whether
they
can
do
that
or
not.
But
the
booze
are
being
designed
to
have
the
ability
to
have
the
sad
officer.
Do
the
the
actual
processing
there
alongside
the
the
cbp
officer.
F
H
I
can
certainly
check,
I
know
that
that
we
redo
run
data
as
far
as
the
commodity
lines.
As
far
as
you
know
what
would
fall
under
the
agriculture
you
know
realm.
So
I
could
I
tend
to
say
that
between
eight
and
ten
percent
of
all
the
cargo
that
we
process
is
one
way
or
fashion
related
to
the
ag
industry
right.
So
it's
around
that
ballpark.
F
H
H
No
again,
historically,
drayage
is
alive
and
well
and
has
been
for
a
long
time,
and
I
think
that
is
still
the
model
locally.
But
we
we
have
seen
a
very
slight
increase
on
the
long
haul,
actually
making
the
the.
H
I
J
H
I
I
know
the
big
guys
they're
taking
advantage
of
it
and
they
love
it
because
they
can
move
forward,
but
I
know
it's
still
holding
up
some
of
the
small
midsize
individuals
that
can't
get
the
empties
and
they're
not
willing
to
go
to
columbia
because
of
the
fact
that
they
have
that
issue
there
at
the
the
extra
agency,
like
you
that
you
mentioned
earlier,
is
there
I
know
you
said
that
we
could
talk
to
the
headquarters.
I
H
We're
doing
you
know
all
we
can.
I
know
that
soon
after
we
we
made
the
columbia
bridge
designated
for
the
non-ct
pad.
You
know,
we've
been
working
with
the
carrier
organizations,
you
know,
we've
had
multiple
outreach
events,
kind
of
trying
to
educate
them.
What
you
know
ctpad
is
all
about.
You
know
what
are
the
requirements
and
stuff
like
that,
so
we
we've
done
all
that
and
we
continue
to
do
that.
You
know
we
have
an
open
line
of
communication
with
those
associations,
understanding
that
you
do
have
some
companies.
H
You
know
that
really
haven't
had
an
interest
in
that
that
now
they
might
have,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that,
although
we
we
do
realize
that
there
was
a
small
number
of
carriers
that
were
affected
as
a
result
of
this
move.
There
was
also
a
high
number
of
companies
that
have
actually
benefited
from
this
move,
because
these
small,
these
same
small
companies
that
were
infected
with
the
move,
those
same
small
companies,
are
moving
loads
through
wall
street
bridge.
So
you
just
gotta.
C
H
Yeah,
it's
actually
made
a
huge
difference.
Who
would
have
thought
that
you
know
a
thousand
trucks
would
would
make
a
difference,
but
it's
definitely
again
you
go
out
to
world
trade.
You
know
you
used
to
see
the
long
lines
and
now
it's
usually
a
half
a
bridge,
sometimes
three
quarters
of
a
bridge,
but
nowhere
near
of
where
we
were
at
prior
to
this
move.
Again
we
talked
to
our
drivers
and
again
a
lot
of
drivers
before
some
of
these
initiatives
would
make.
Maybe
between
two
and
three
trips.
Now
it's
between
three
and
five
trips.
D
If
I'm
asked
there
right
now,
there
isn't
no
there's
in
the
number
if
the
drage
has
gone
down
from
the
local
dredge
back
and
forth
to
the
over
the
road
that
has
kind
of
helped
out
that
process
or
it's
that
practice,
and
I
know
you
asked
that
question,
but
has
it
gotten
better
where
now
the
over
the
road
from
mexico
comes
straight
in
and
vice
versa,
or
is
that
just
not
happening?
It's
the
same
practice
yeah
so
historically,.
H
A
Mr
flores,
and
going
back
to
the
produce
that
we
have
better
clearance
on
colombia.
Is
that?
Because
of
the
mexican
collaboration
with
the
mexican
customs
collaboration
or.
H
Yeah,
so
it's
a
combination,
you
know
a
combination
of
many
things.
Obviously
just
the
shorter
lines
or
non-existing
lines
at
columbia
probably
has
a
lot
to
do
with
it,
of
course,
the
ucp
program,
because
our
program
does
include
not
only
sat
but
cenazika,
so
obviously
it's
it's.
It's
a
huge
benefit
to
have
senator
on
site.
I
H
H
C
H
So
I
think
the
puerto
rico
is
sitting
pretty
good
on
staffing.
I
think
we're
a
lot
better
than
we've
ever
been
in
years
past
again
we
have.
C
H
To
support
the
increase
that
we
experienced
this
last
year
and
probably
potential
increases
in
the
next
in
the
next
year
or
so
so
our
ag
specialness
as
well
yeah.
I
H
H
So
again,
unfortunately,
the
ver,
the
certifications
for
ctpad,
are
done
by
our
supply
chain
specialists
and
it's
of
course,
manny
garcia's
group,
again
they're
outside
my
scope
and
again
I
can
push
all
I
want,
but
they
have,
you
know
their
their
chain
of
command.
That
needs
to
approve
it,
and
a
lot
of
it
relies
on
the
state
department's
issuing
of
the
security
in
the
area.
H
C
H
Unfortunately,
as
we
know,
trade
wasn't
impacted
with
kobe,
with
the
exception
of
the
first
couple
of
months
last
year,
but
the
one
area
that
that
has
not
let
down
is
the
you
know
the
smuggling
of
contraband.
H
You
know
for
the
poor
laredo,
you
know
we
saw
increases
and
all
the
different
types
of
drugs
that
we
intercept
and
it's
it's
pretty
frightening
to
know
that
you
know
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
cocaine,
a
lot
more
heroin,
a
lot
more
methamphetamine,
a
lot
more
fentanyl.
You
know
these
are
these
are
dangerous
drugs
that
then
you
know
they're
trying
to
get
into
our
communities.
So
this.
F
The
the
I'm
sorry,
the
easing
of
restrictions
for
essential
travel
for
non-commercial
crossings
november
8th,
I
believe,
is
the
date
that's
been
communicated
by
the
department
of
homeland
security
and
any
some
of
the
some
of
the
rules
are
even
changes
for
people
that
are
flying
in
were
before
they
could
show
a
negative
test
within
72
hours.
Correct
are
any
of
these
restrictions
going
to
impact
the
the
global
trade
community.
Drags
drivers,
commercial
drivers,
oh.
H
So
you'll
have
two
separate
buckets
now
that
we'll
have
to
you
know,
process
at
the
port
of
entry.
Of
course,
you'll
have
everything
that's
being
processed
currently,
which
will
remain
status
quo
and
then
you'll
have
the
separate
group
of
of
individuals
which
are
people
that
not
have
that
do
not
have
an
essential
reason
to
come
across
that
if
they're
vaccinated
are
going
to
be
allowed
to
come
in
so
they
don't,
they
don't
affect
the
the
current
status
of
the
essential
trial
right
now.
Thank
you.

Now
we
are
moving
forward
with
item
number
two
presentation
by
mrs
vetlimon
bridge
director
regarding
the
world
trade
bridge,
fast
lanes,
relocation,
project,
northbound,
waiting,
motion,
project
and
timeline
for
the
world
trade
bridge
expansion
project
and
any
other
matters
incident
there
too.
O
Good
evening,
madam
chairman
members
of
the
committee
belly
mon
bridge
director
for
the
record,
I
will
provide
you
an
update
as
of
september
2021
on
the
projects
that
are
ongoing
and
planned
for
world
trade
bridge,
starting
with
the
fast
lane
relocation
project.
O
Mr
flores
mentioned
more
detail
of
what
the
project
will
consist
and
I
will
give
you
an
update
on
the
actual
construction
summit
building
and
design
continued
work
on
the
fast
lane
relocation
project
throughout
september.
Despite
rain
delays,
construction
has
reached
the
15
to
20
percent
completion
range.
As
of
the
end
of
september.
O
O
There
was
a
water
line
that
needed
to
be
relocated
that
needed
to
be
located
and
it
was
successfully
located
and
the
sewer
lines
were
installed.
A
u.s
customs
and
border
protection
contractor
removed
the
existing
z
portal.
That
was
there
temporarily
and
the
concrete
base
was
broken
up.
Some
its
plans
were
confirmed,
assuring
conduits
were
located
correctly
for
the
first
radiation
portal
monitor
foundation,
and
this
allowed
work
to
begin
on
the
rpm
foundation.
O
As
far
as
the
way
in
motion
scales,
project
for
the
northbound
lanes,
sca
advanced
the
design
of
the
weigh
in
motion
scales
at
the
existing
exit
of
the
port
of
entry
to
the
95
stage
by
the
end
of
august
and
transmitted
the
submittal
on
september,
1st,
to
transport
our
toll
collection
system
provider
for
their
technical
review
and
comment
trans
course.
Review
comments
were
received
by
sca
on
september
27th
and
the
sea
team
was
working
toward
the
final
100
submittal
to
transcore,
and
it
was
supposed
to
be
submitted.
It
was
submitted
to
them
tuesday
october
12th.
O
O
O
Mr
milky
answered
questions
from
mayor
pete
science,
the
city
manager,
mr
eats
congressman,
harry
cuellar,
olympus
governor
francisco
javier
garcia
cabeza
de
vaca
and
ener
of
noblerido
mayor
turosa,
miguel
on
the
expansion
project
and
other
related
ongoing
construction
projects.
All
participants
expressed
their
strong
support
for
moving
forward
quickly
and
they
committed
to
form
a
special
work
group
and
mr
milke
committed
to
preparing
the
application
for
the
presidential
permit.
O
Within
six
months,
sca
and
king
advising
took
the
initial
steps
to
reactivate
the
work
on
the
expansion
project
and
prepare
for
the
many
actions
that
will
be
needed.
They
contacted
several
firms
regarding
the
environmental
work
and
civil
engineering
consultants
regarding
the
surveying,
work
and
the
full
hydraulic
analysis
that
will
be
required.
O
K
O
O
O
Resume
notifying
the
state
department
resume
the
agency
coordination
with
u.s,
federal
and
state
agencies,
coordinating
the
tamaulipas
and
mexican
federal
officials,
including
the
creation
of
a
binational
work
group,
so
that
the
coordination
can
occur
on
both
sides
of
the
u.s
and
mexico.
So
that's
the
latest
update
on
our
projects
at
world
trade
bridge.
M
In
the
breakfast
with
the
mayor
last,
I
think
it
was
last
week
he
mentioned
that
the
this
expansion
is
gonna.
Take
almost
five
years.
Is
that
timeline
sounds
correct
for
you.
O
I
know
I
I
don't
know
about
the
five
years.
I
know
we're
trying
to
expedite
it
as
as
quick
as
possible.
I
guess
getting
the
agency
coordinations
and
everybody
to
agree
on
a
design
and
move
forward.
I,
if
the
five
years
I
know
construction
time,
they
indicated
anywhere
between
like
12
months
for
construction,
but
I
don't
know
about
the
agency
coordination
that
it
would
take
that
long.
O
But
once
we
meet
with
city
of
the
city
officials
and
they
give
sca
directives
moving
forward
and
as
I
hear
an
update
on
the
timeline
for
the,
I
guess,
the
plans
and
and
the
preparation
of
the
presidential
permanent
amendment,
I
will
provide
you
an
update.
C
I
have
several
questions,
sir.
On
the
fast
lane,
the
target
date
was
april.
2021
I
mean
I
I
we
just
want
to
understand
and
we
want
to
help
if
this
committee
can
help
on
delays,
because
we
had
the
way
in
motion
scale
so
for
december
2019,
and
so
we
would
like
to
know
what
the
delays
were.
Is
it
about
money,
because
we
were
understood
that
mr
cuellar
had
funded
a
lot
of
these
projects
at
world
trade
bridge,
and
so
we
just
want
to
know.
How
can
we
help
to
move
these
things
faster?
O
O
As
you
know,
it's
through
the
cbp
donations
acceptance
program,
so
it
involved
a
lot
of
agency
coordination
through
general
service
administration,
customs
and
border
protection,
the
city
of
laredo,
our
consultants
with
the
funding
coming
from
txdot,
it
included
txdot.
O
We
had
a
plan
in
mind
and
then
along
the
way
when,
when
the
previous
director
of
field
operations
was
on
in
in
laredo,
then
that's
where
the
equipment
came
into
play,
the
z
portal
and
the
rpms,
so
the
design
had
to
be
redone
to
incorporate
the
changes
on
the
design
to
incorporate
the
equipment,
so
that
kind
of
threw
us
somewhat
back
and
start
the
whole
process
again
and
rev
in
changing
the
the
design
and
getting
it
approved
by
everybody.
But
good
thing
is
that
we
finally
got
it
done.
O
I
know
it
took
long,
but
a
lot
of
agency
involvement,
a
lot
of
meetings
and
currently
to
date
we
still
have
our
bi-weekly
meetings
with
all
the
agencies
involved,
to
kind
of
give
updates
and-
and
let
everybody
know
where
we're
at
so
it's
very
well
coordinated
and
finally
ongoing.
But
yes,
I
do
know
it.
It
took
some
time,
but
hopefully
everything
will
be
constructed
soon.
I
know
the
contractor
is
pushed
for
for
time
to
kind
of
speed
it
along
the
way.
O
So
hopefully
the
the
completion
of
it
is
kind
of
not
what
I'm
letting
you
know
today
and
hopefully
sooner
but
understand
the
frustration
on
it.
Taking
too
long.
O
That
that
right
turn
will
also
be
based
on
what
mr
milky
has
advised
us
is
that,
because
of
the
whitening
of
I-69
west
being
done
by
txdot,
it's
gonna
pretty
much
take
care
of
most
of
that
curb
and
then
the
the
rest
of
it
will
come
in
and
and
finish
it
off.
O
Yes,
there
are
no
funding
issues,
all
our
projects
are
funded,
so
it
was
just
a
pretty
much
the
design
on-
and
I
know
no
excuse
on
on
sca,
but
they
were
focusing
on
the
fastlane
project
and
kind
of
left,
the
whim
to
the
side
for
a
while,
but
they're
picking
it
up,
and
we
hope
to
get
that
project
going
hopefully
sooner
than
the
timeline.
O
C
O
These
are
kind
of
estimated
costs
that
that
he
provided
provided
me
a
month
a
month
ago.
He
has
here
a
presidential
permit
application,
0.35
million
or
350
thousand
point
thirty
five.
He
has
it
in
millions
point:
thirty:
five
million
conceptual
design
and
studies
point:
seven
million
us
and
mexican
coordination,
.5
million
nepa
clearance
and
public
involvement,
0.5
million
final
design
and
other
permits,
1
million
u.s
construction
cost
just
a
half
on
the
u.s
side,
between
6
and
10
million
and
project
and
construction
management,
0.6
million.
P
P
B
P
I
Moon
reference
to
the
dap
program,
the
wall
are
going
on
on
the
project
and
he
said
there
was
some
funny
that
was
you're
working
through
is
this:
are
the
stakeholders
involved,
or
is
the
city
involved
in
providing
funding
as
well?
Because
it's
not
the
only
mission
government
agencies.
A
O
I
I
Pressure
you
on
this
as
well,
but
taking
consideration
what
ms
lena
said
earlier.
That
said
the
mayor
estimated
five
years,
he
said,
that's
just
an
estimate.
You
really
know
what
the
actual
time
frame
is.
I.
O
Don't
know
once
we
meet
with
sca
and
the
consultant
team
and
get
more
information
from
him,
then
I'll
know
for
sure
the
timeline
of
how
long
it
would
take.
But.
I
Listen
to
cbp
earlier,
you
can
sit
there
and
my
understanding
was
the
numbers
that
were
presented
to
us
earlier
that
we're
at
85
capacity
on
world
trade
bridge
alone
and
just
hearing
today
that
we
have
two
to
five
percent.
I
mean
we
usually
hear
five
percent
as
a
standard
number.
We
are
the
increase
up
to
this
up
to
date.
Right
now,
it's
only
two
percent,
but
we're
seeing
what
was
taking
consideration,
supply
chain
issues
that
are
going
through
the
long
beach,
I'm
sure
that
wouldn't
have
some
increase
here
at
the
portland
radio.
I
So
let's
stay
on
the
average
five
percent.
I
mean
in
five
years
we're
pushing
at
the
limit
right
there.
So,
hopefully
we
can
kind
of
fast
track
and
you
know
give
us
information.
We
can
kind
of
see
what
we
could
do
like
monica
said.
We
could
still
move
forward
and
kind
of.
I
know
we're
an
advisory
committee,
but
we
can
kind
of
reduce
some
input.
At
least
you
know.
So.
Thank
you.
O
So
this
topic
has
been
discussed
throughout
pretty
much
all.
L
O
Our
staff
continues
to
work
hard
in
calling
these
customers
and
informing
them
of
the
delay
that
it
causes.
Everybody
else
that
does
have
funds,
keep
just
coordinating
it
with
with
the
customers
and
encourage
them
to
enroll
in
our
auto
replenishment
program,
because
we
do
have
a
program
through
our
collection
system
where
they
leave
their
credit
card.
They
indicate
the
threshold
amount.
If
their
balance
goes
below
their
set
threshold,
then
their
credit
card
will
automatically
be
charged
there,
the
amount
that
they
so
indicate
to
be
charged.
So.
I
I
Well,
it
looks
like
there's
been
an
increase,
so
obviously
they're
not
taking
us
seriously.
So
I
mean.
Is
there
a
statutory
or
regulatory
change
that
can
be
done
or
advised
by
the
council
that
make
sure
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
proceed
with
having
a
credit
card
unfold
or
a
recommendation
that
we
could
do
to
kind
of
move
this
forward?
Because
it's
making
a
big
difference
and
like
we
said
it's
right,
we're
actually
having
an
increase?
Well.
O
My
my
initial
recommendation
was
proposing
charging
them
a
fee
and
it's
ultimately
up
to
you
a
committee
to
decide.
If
that's
the
route
you
want
to
take,
and
then
I
would
need
to
present
it
to
city
management
and
if
they
agree
with
the
recommendation,
then
prepare
the
agenda
item
and
bring
it
before
council.
P
That's
already,
so
I
don't
know
we
could
recommend
something
on
on
after
after
this,
the
first
time
you're
one
time
free,
maybe
to
start
off
and
they're,
going
to
bring
down
the
500
u-turns
to
probably
two
or
three
hundred
a
month,
which
is
still
a
lot
big
number.
But
if
we
bring
it
down
40,
I
think
it's
gonna
be
definitely
be
helpful
to
the
trade
community.
You
know,
I
would
love
mr
fernandez
to
be
here
now
that
he's
a
member
of
association
of
transportation
barriers
in
mexico.
P
I
don't
know
how
feasible
is
to
get
the
names
of
these
people.
Is
it
public
record
or
not
or
view
together
with
the
association
ask
for
help
directly
with
the
association
and
see
if
they
could
contact
him
directly,
because
you
know
last
month,
one
guy
had
nine
u-turn
sets
twice
a
week.
You
know,
and
this
we
have
two
two
two
accounts
with
six
u-turns
each.
So
that's
12
u-turns
for
two
companies
in
total.
D
O
I
D
A
Liman,
can
we
have
that
on
because
we
are
focusing
on
these
two
accounts
and
I
think
that
will
resolve
if
we
just
penalize
them
or
we
just
find
something
to
do
with
those
companies.
But
what
worries
me
is
that
258
u-turns
are:
do
we
have
data
if
they
are
the
same
companies
from
the
last
one
and
the
previous
month?
How
often
is
the
same
company
month-to-month,
even
it's
just
one,
but
it's
the
same
companies.
J
J
It's
always
it
seems
to
be
different
people
all
the
time,
different
customers
right
now,
for
the
month
of
september,
we've
had
seven
accounts
that
had
the
majority
of
all
the
u-turns,
all
the
other
ones
were
just
one
u-turn
here
and
there.
So
it
varies
month
by
month
again
repeating
myself.
Two
accounts
at
world
trade
bridge
has
had
months
across
scenes
of.
J
Q
J
It
varies,
it
could
be
three
to
five
minutes
depending
on
how
much
traffic
is
coming
down
the
the
roadway.
What
we'll
do
will
hold
the
truck
in
the
lane
and
we
want
these
vehicles
that
are
coming
to
cross.
We
want
to
put
as
many
through
as
possible
and
then
we'll
hold
the
traffic
and
allow
this
truck
to
u-turn.
Q
Right
now,
there's
no
consequence
to
them.
There's
no
consequence
right
now
to
them.
You
just
do
a
u-turn
and
you
continue
to
do
your
turns
every
month
and
I
would
agree
with
what
milo
mentioned,
but
not
per
month.
If
you
do
one
u-turn,
let's
say
every
three
months:
that's
okay!
But
if
you
do
one
you
turn
every
month,
then
after
the
second
one
you
get
some
type
of
fine,
it's
disrupting
traffic
right
and
if
there's
no
consequence,
it
will
continue
to
do
so
right.
You.
I
Know
what
what
we
could
do
as
well
just
to
put
more
effect
on
this
is
put
a
time
frame
on
here
and
that
so
we
could
see
the
actual
time
involved,
because
looking
at
the
numbers,
that's
26,
it's
not
that
much,
but
the
involvement
of
the
vomit,
like
you
stated
earlier,
something
like
it
to
three
to
five
minutes.
It
could
even
take
40
minutes
or
an
hour
and
how
much
disruption.
P
P
I
J
Right
now,
what
we're
doing
also
when
they
come
to
the
lanes,
they
have
no
funds,
we
are
giving
them
a
memo
in
english
or
spanish,
letting
them
know
themselves
if
they're,
the
account
holder
or
for
them
to
notify
their
company
that
this
is
impairing.
You
know
the
industry,
it's
delaying
the
ones
wanting
to
cross
put
money
in
your
account.
Now
what
we're
also
doing?
I
gave
this
information
to
our
front
office
and
they're
contacting
these
companies
and
letting
them
know
hey,
please
put
money,
so
the
industry
can
cross.
D
Can
we
can
we
think
of
something
now,
as
a
committee
and
and
possibly
after
so
many
more
times
is
initiate
a
fine?
And
since
we
have
record
about
38
or
35
people
or
companies,
say
you're
going
to
be
fined.
You
have
so
much
more
by
this
month,
you're
going
to
be
fine
and
propose
it
to
the
council.
It
depends
on
the
on
the
advisory
committee,
but
that's
the
next
thing.
I
don't
see
what
what
else
that
there
is
because
you're
already
letting
them
know
that
so
they're
fairly.
D
K
D
L
O
P
Schedule
or
something,
but
the
rates
were
crossing
varies
from
120
from
90
dollars
to
120
the
average
profit
for
each
trade
truck
is
15
five
thirty
dollars
what
they
could
make.
So
if
you
find
them
five
dollars,
it
won't
hurt
them.
You
need
to
you,
don't
need
to
find
them
a
hundred.
You
know,
even
if
you
find
them
30,
40
50.
P
You
know
they're
they're,
losing
money
on
that
freight
and
that
company
that's
doing
six.
Five
and
four.
You
know
that
they're
losing
a
lot
of
their
profit,
so
I
think
even
just
a
small
fine
would
definitely
will.
D
First,
try
to
get
their
attention,
can
you
imagine
the
rest
of
the
countries
or
what
their
or
the
rest
of
the
other
people
that
need
their
merchandise,
how
they're
getting
hurt
or
could
be
heard,
so
maybe
get
them
from
the
first
time
I
hate
to.
I
don't
want
to
hurt
anybody
either
myself,
but
I
think
maybe
it
needs
to
be
what
that
one
profit
margin
is
up
to
what
that
one
load
is
the
first
time
because
five
dollars
or
ten
dollars
is
not
going
to
do
anything.
P
And
it's,
and
hopefully
that
one
time
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
city
doesn't
want
to
make
money
out
of
it.
We
want
to
make
sure
our
traffic
is
not
being
caused
by
unnecessarily
unnecessary
activity
going
on
or
delays,
and
I
know
perez
which
she's
here
with
us
it's
one
of
her
areas
of
our
biggest
opportunities
that
our
constituents
always
call
her
about
the
traffic
jam,
and
this
is
an
unnecessary
traffic
jam
that
we
caused.
So
we
already
went
over
this,
we
got
the
numbers
10
minutes.
P
E
I
think
the
the
important
thing
here
is
to
stop
the
u-turns.
Just
fine
put
a
fine
at
the
moment
and
let
them
go
because
we
cannot
stop
the
traffic,
especially
on
world
trade
bridge.
Let
everybody
go
give
at
the
moment
the
fine
you're
fine
with
fifty
dollars
go
and
and
then
you
have
to
pay
it
by
24
hours
or
less.
Your
account
will
be
suspended
or
something
like
that.
But
I
think
the
biggest
mistake
right
now
is
stopping
the
traffic
at
the
bridge.
D
P
L
So
we
can
start
up
like
putting
a
fine
in
the
second
group
and
up
as
mr
pira
was
proposing
and
we'll
we'll
find
out.
If
that
works,
I'm
sure
that
this
258
to
241
u-turns
will
be
taken
off
of
consideration.
So
let's
say:
if,
if
we
go
from
two
to
four
put
a
fine
and
then
the
next
group
or
four
or
more,
we
would
have
like
a
higher
fine.
We
can
solve
the
problem.
I
We
know
that
when
we
had
our
initial
meeting,
we
had
already
given
recommendations,
penalties,
credit
card
and
some
other
ideas.
I
know
they
said
the
credit
card
is
obviously
not
not
an
option.
How
about
the
penalties
that
we
did?
They
say
that
was
a
viable
option,
or
was
that
thrown
off
the
table
as
well,
where
we
stand
with
that?
Oh.
I
A
L
Not
going
to
go
to
the
individual
drivers
yeah,
it
won't
make
a
difference
if
they
like
debit,
their
account
the
same
as
if
they
have
an
overweight.
It
would
be
debited
from
their
account.
So
it
would
be
the
same
thing
if
they
just
cross
and
they
have
no
balance
of
zero
balance,
charge
them
the
fine
and
it
will
be
credited
towards
their
account
if
they
have
credit
card
or
not,
they
will
have
to
pay.
Otherwise
the
account
will
be
cancelled,
but
most
important.
E
We
need
communication
with
the
user,
we
don't
have
communication
nowadays,
so
we
have
to
have
all
these:
the
the
phones
of
the
of
the
drivers,
all
the
telephones
of
the
driver.
So
in
that
way
we
can
create
a
software
that
we
can
communicate
with
these
companies
that
they
don't
have
enough
funds,
because
there's
another
way
that
the
driver
will
know.
P
We're
not
in
kindergarten,
they,
they
know
they're
running
a
business
and
we're
around
businesses,
and
we
have
to
have
you
can't
you
can't
write
a
check
without
having
phones.
You
can't
send
a
check
to
to
agree
your
credit.
E
G
L
I
A
M
C
C
L
A
O
No,
if
they
get
to
the
lane
and
there's
no
funds,
we'll
have
to
create
a
form
they
complete
the
form
and
at
the
end
of
their
shift,
the
collector
will
take
it
inside
and
then
somebody
manually,
the
next
day,
would
have
to.
R
P
S
K
S
Because
I
don't
want
it
to
become
a
competitive
issue
where
narrator's,
you
know
penalizing
too
harshly,
and
I
know
it
is
an
issue,
but
I'm
wondering
if
they're
like
just
like
mr
freda
said
like.
Maybe
there
is
a
communication
issue.
Maybe
we
talked
about
an
app
last
time.
We
talked
about
how
the
users
might
not
have
access
to
the
program,
but
it
seems
like
there's
a
solution
to
this
that
we
haven't
identified
yet
for
some
reason,
I've
seen
that,
but
to
go
back,
what
do
other?
What
do
other
bridges
do.
O
S
I
More
considering
the
volume
I'm
just
looking
at
you're,
looking
at
350
360
members
that
are
actually
violators
and
some
more
repeat
violators,
so
I
mean
I
mean
they're
getting
and
they're
continued
to
repeat
everybody
later,
because
it
looks
like
there's
some
individuals
that
have
increased
it
for
the
last
four
months.
Since
we've
been
keeping
a
report
on
this,
so
I
I
just
think
it's
a
nominal
feat.
I
think
that
we
should
move
forward
with
this
and
based
on
the
emotion,
that's
already
been
on
the
table.
D
Don't
sweep
me,
but
the
point
was
brought
up.
Was
that
also
the
other
bridges?
You
can't
compare
the
the
volume
that
we
have
and
the
danger
that
we
have
in
our
area
no
disrespect
I
like
to
do
a
lot
of
business
over
there,
but
there's
not
that
much
truck
traffic
compared
to
what
we
have
here.
There's
an
issue
guys.
So
it's
it's
in
front
of
us
we're
an
advisory
committee
just
to
recommend
and
we're
having
good
conversation,
but
we
need
to
start
it
and
when
there's
a
one
in
the
second
motion.
O
O
I
went
back
and
asked
for
quote
for
that
type
of
of
notification
and
it
would
cost
us
about
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
for
implementation,
and
then
the
city
would
need
to
do
procurement
with
a
third
party
service
that
would
kind
of
send
the
message.
So
it's
going
to
cost
us
a
lot
more
to
send
a
message
whether
they
acknowledge
the
message
and
comply
with
the
message
we
won't
know.
I
mean
right
now
they
have
the
ability
to
check
their
balance
online,
their
computers.
L
C
L
L
A
I'm
going
back
to
your
concern
about
about
the
the
cost
that
we
are
going
to
have.
That
is
something
that
it's
in
the
hands
of
the
user.
If
they
don't
want
to
have
the
cost,
they
have
to
just
monitor
their
accounts.
So
it's
not
that
we
are
going
to
affect
the
trade.
It's
just
what
we
are
going
to.
We
are
going
to
educate
the
trade
to
be
on
top
of
their
accounts
and.
F
First
of
all,
I
agree
with
mr
pwig
that
we
can't
really
compare
our
bridges
to
anybody
else's.
If
you
add
up
all
the
other
bridges
across
the
entire
border,
we
still
have
more
crossings
than
all
others
combined.
So
we
need
to
leave
the
charge
we
need
to
fix.
The
issue
we
have
just
as
councilwoman
perez
says
we
don't
want
to
make
our
port
less
competitive
and
reputation
is
is
in
word
of
mouth
and
bad
news
in
the
press
is
is
is
dangerous.
F
P
Maybe
don't
you
add
so
sorry
too,
just
to
add
to
a
councilwoman
pedestrian,
the
competitiveness
of
the
port,
and
I
totally
agree
and
that's
what
I
think,
what
this
part
of
this
committee
is
all
about,
but
I
guess
first
before
you
guys
leave
one
passes
on
to
a
city
council.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
the
users
do
have
correct
information
from
the
portal.
Now
we
don't
want
later
to
increase
a
fine.
They
come
back
like
well.
P
Your
your
poor's
down
have
to
have
today
or
the
the
balance
is
24
hour,
updated,
not
update
at
the
minute
it's
so
we
have
to
make
sure
that
at
least
we're
on
our
side
we're
giving
the
users
their
information
and
then
from
there.
They
have
to
have
better
business
practices
to
make
sure
they
organize
themselves.
I
think
I'm
I'm
thinking
we
do
have
it.
Yes,.
E
D
I
To
make
a
minute,
but
I
think
that
we
got
to
start
getting
cost
involved
in,
because
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we're
just
trying
to
prevent
a
problem
where
to
do
surgery
to
do
research
on
how
much
it
will
cost
to
include
signage
or
and
to
make
sure
that
we
balance
the
cost
down.
Because
we
don't
want
to
sit.
There
come
out
with
a
negative
as
well
on
that.
So.
Q
Yeah,
that's
true,
however,
if
you
have
it
on,
I'm
gonna
open
an
account
and
it
states
right
there
that
I'm
responsible
to
have
enough
funds
to
clear
we
as
part
of
the
supply
chain.
We
all
have
our
responsibilities
and
it
seems
that
the
repeat
offenders
that
we
see
every
month
are
doing
so
because
there's
no
consequence
whatsoever.
L
I
I'll
just
make
them
make
the
motion
for
the
adjustment
as
well,
but
just
also
make
a
comment
in
reference
to
we've
already
requested
at
least
a
basic
recommendation,
which
was
turned
down
basically
having
the
credit
card
on
file.
So
with
this
being
said,
I
like
to
make
the
motion
to
include
the
signage
as
well.
So,
okay.
J
J
P
A
A
Let's
proceed
to
vote
votes
in
favor
aye.
E
O
Okay,
I'm
gonna
want
to
work
on
the
motions
and
work
on
the
suggestions
and
bring
back.
I
guess
the
the
final
plan
and,
if
you're,
okay
with
it,
then
we
proceed
forward.
G
M
Know
like
since
this
date
we
are
going
to
start
penalizing,
so
we
can.
A
M
H
L
N
A
A
Discussion
for
moving
forward
item
number
seven,

schedule
of
the
next
meeting
that
will
be

is
