From YouTube: COTPA Board of Trustees Meeting - June 5, 2020
Description
The regular monthly meeting of the COTPA Board of Trustees Meeting, via video conference, for
June 5, 2020.
A
C
B
Right
before
I
call
this
meeting
order,
there
are
a
few
comments
on
the
teleconference,
so
if
we're
disconnected
for
more
than
15
minutes,
we'll
resume
it
today
at
one
o'clock
and
any
citizens
wishing
to
be
heard
on
the
agenda,
the
citizens
be
heard
can
call
in
we'd.
Ask
them
to
please
mute
their
phones
and
then
I'd.
Ask
all
participants,
except
the
trustees,
keep
their
phones
unmute
until
they
recognize
to
speak
all
right.
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
our
june
meeting
of
central
oklahoma
transportation
and
parking
authority.
B
C
B
The
only
item
that
I
would
like
a
brief
conversation
is
actually
item
n,
but
the
majority
of
all
the
consent
office
are
just
approval
of
amendments
to
several
of
our
to
all
our
different
contracts,
and
so
I
don't,
unless
any
of
the
trustees
have
any
questions
on
any
of
those
particular
items,
then
I'd
ask
jason
just
for
a
brief
comment
on
item.
G
Sure,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Yeah
item
n
is
an
mou
with
oklahoma
department
of
transportation,
the
association
of
central
oklahoma
governments
or
acog
the
region's
mpo
this
in
the
city
of
norman,
and
the
purpose
of
the
mou
is
essentially
part
of
the
federal
regulations.
G
Guidelines
related
to
federally
funded
projects
require
a
coordinated
planning
effort
and
that
coordinated
planning
effort
needs
to
be
between
the
mpo,
the
state
and
then
any
of
the
transportation
providers,
and
so
we,
those
entities
have
had
that
mou
in
place
for
a
number
of
years
with
carte,
in
norman
being
the
the
transportation
provider
in
norman.
G
B
Please
motions
approved.
We've
got
quite
a
few
items
on
the.
B
On
our
individual
considerations
and
if
everybody
would
look
at
item
h,
I
would
like
a
motion
to
move
that
to
the
first
item
on
our
individual
consideration.
So
we
can
get
a
little
discussion.
I
don't
think
we
need
a
to
go
into
executive
session
because
I
understand
all
the
trustees
have
been
kind
of
updated
on
on
this.
So
unless
any
questions,
then
I
would
have
a
motion
to
move
item
h
to
the
first
of
our
individual
consideration.
I
E
E
J
I
I
A
J
E
In
light
of
the
situation
that
chairman
kaufman
is
not
on
the
call
vice
chairman,
sepner
you're
now
need
to
preside
over
the
meeting.
Please.
J
Okay-
and
we
have
just
made
voice
call
vote
for
the
item
h-
is
that
correct.
G
Yes,
thank
you
vice
chairman.
So
this
item
is
a
resolution
approving
an
agreement
with
the
amalgamated
transit
union,
local
993
and
authorizing
the
administrator
to
execute
that
agreement.
G
So
just
a
few
background
details
for
the
for
the
trust-
and
I
know
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
many
of
you
individually
about
this,
but
as
you'll
recall,
we
negotiate
with
the
atu
a
collective
bargaining
agreement
every
three
years
and
so
fiscal
year.
20
was
the
beginning
of
the
next
three-year
agreement.
G
It
would
allow
for
a
four
percent
pay
plan
adjustment,
a
one-time,
stipend
of
500.
G
G
There
are
some
provisions
to
open
the
contract
back
up
for
negotiations
in
fiscal
year,
21
and
fiscal
year,
22.
fiscal
year,
21
certain
conditions
have
to
be
met:
fiscal
year
22.
We
we
have
agreed
to
open
back
up
for
negotiations,
there's
nothing
that
commits
the
trust
other
than
just
agreeing
to
negotiate.
G
So
with
that
the
estimated
financial
impact
of
this
agreement
to
the
current
fiscal
year-
and
I
realize
we're
almost
through
the
current
fiscal
year,
but
this
agreement
is
retroactive,
so
it
will
go
all
the
way.
Back
to
july
1st.
G
The
financial
impact
is
estimated
to
be
around
six
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars
and
when
we
get
to
the
financial
reports,
you'll
notice
that
we
do
have
savings
so
far
this
year
in
our
expenditure
budget
and
of
course,
part
of
that
is
really
just
a
factor
of
knowing
we
were
going
to
have
some
some
negotiations
and
some
some
you
know
wage
impacts
that
haven't
hit
yet,
but
they
will
once
if
this
contract
is
approved.
So
with
that,
I'm
glad
to
answer
any
any.
J
I
understand
chairman
kaufman
is
back
online.
C
C
The
other
trustees
object
to
that.
I
would
say
it
might
be
better
to
move
leave
it
in
the
normal
order.
B
G
Right,
so
with
approval
of
this
item,
it
is
essentially
allowing
staff
to
go
ahead
and
advertise
the
scope
of
work
and
request.
An
rfp
from
those
that
are
interested
in
proposing
does
not
obligate
the
trust,
any
financial
impact
at
this
time.
The
reason
we're
requesting
authorization
to
issue
this
rfp
is
primarily
to
help
us
with
our
auditing,
our
independent
auditing,
that
we
need
for
our
safety
plan
that
you'll
hear
a
little
bit
about
later
in
the
agenda.
G
So
the
scope
of
work
primarily
relates
to
auditing
our
safety
plan,
but
also
gives
us
the
flexibility
to
add
task
orders.
If
you
will
for
consultant
work
that
falls
outside
of
auditing
and
to
give
you
just
an
example
of
where
a
task
order
type
project
might
come
into
play
is,
let's
say,
for
example,
working
with
our
partners
at
the
state
we
determined
there
was
a
certain
corrective
action
plan
that
was
needed.
G
C
Councilman
greenwell,
it
is
showing
in
our
system
that
you
have
voted
yes.
B
G
Yes,
I'm
glad
to
so
items
b
and
c
are
both
change
orders
related
to
capital
projects
we
have
initiated
along
the
oklahoma
river.
As
you
know,
we're
building
a
new
landing
at
agnew
which
we're
referring
to
is
the
stockyards
landing.
That
is
item
6b,
we're.
A
G
Building
a
permanent
structure
for
the
meridian
landing,
that's
item
6c
and
we
do
have
change
orders
affecting
both
of
these
projects
for
the
stockyards
landing.
We
have
a
30,
234
dollar
change
order.
This
is
change
order
number
one
and
the
reason
for
the
change
order
is:
we
need
to
relocate
a
main
irrigation
supply
line.
Basically
the
line
goes.
You
know
right
through
our
our
project
right
now,
knowing
that
in
the
future
there'll
be,
you
know,
maintenance
that
might
be
needed
to
that
supply
line.
G
We
want
to
reroute
it
around
our
projects
so
that
you
know
our
project
doesn't
have
to
be.
You
know
dug
up
or
something
to
that
effect
in
the
future.
So
so
this
change
order
would
allow
us
to
to
relocate
that
main
irrigation
line.
Again,
the
increase
is
about
a
2.79
percent
increase
to
the
overall
project.
G
As
a
reminder,
this
project
is
funded
primarily
by
federal
grants
and
the
completion
date
of
the
stockyard
landing
is
expected
to
be
july.
18Th
items
item,
as
I
mentioned
item
6c.
This
is
the
permanent
structure
at
meridian,
and
this
is
a
change
order
of
31,
141.
G
We
felt
like
it
was
important
to
keep
the
trail
open,
and
so
that's
why
staff
is
recommending.
We
go
ahead
and
construct
this
temporary
trail
so
that
users
of
the
trail
system
can
get
around
the
project
while
we're,
while
we're
building
the
permanent
pavilion
again
funded
primarily
by
federal
grants
and
expected
completion
date.
At
this
point
is
november
14.
J
E
Councilman
greenwell,
would
you
like
to
cast
a
verbal
vote.
E
D
Hit
escape
okay,
if
you
press
escape,
usually
it
gives
you
the
split
screen.
E
Sure
we
do
have
a
first
like
trustee,
bryant
and
a
second
by
trustee
center.
B
All
right,
thank
you
and
then
item
c.
Do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
item
c.
A
G
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
will
turn
it
over
to
eugene
fritz
chief
safety
officer,
and
let
me
get
our
presentation
up
here.
First.
I
So
the
first
slide
here
is
so
49
cfr,
673
mandates
that
the
rail
transit
agency
embark.
We
have
to
have
a
public,
a
safety
plan,
so
the
key
components
to
this
is
the
fda,
has
adopted
principles
and
methods
of
a
safety
management
system
and
673,
like
I
said,
requires
okay,
okc
streetcar,
to
develop
a
agency
safety
plan,
so
under
673
it
needs
to
be
approved
by
the
state
safety
oversight,
which
is
odot.
I
They
did
that
back
on
may
18th
and
the
accountable
executive
jason
he
approved
on
may
28th,
and
it
also
needs
to
be
approved
by
copter's
board,
which
is
what
we're
doing
today.
I
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
busy
slide
here
so
up
in
the
upper
left,
two
boxes
over
to
the
right
two
down
so
49
cfr
674
designates
that
each
state
has
to
have
a
state
oversight.
So
it's
odot
in
our
case,
so
I'm
just
going
to
take
you
all
the
way
down
to
the
bottom
right.
So
odot
came
up
with
a
program
standard
which
is
now
state
law.
So
our
safety
plan
must
meet
the
requirements
of
odot's
of
odot's
program
center
so
which
it
does
because
udot
has
approved
it.
I
So
to
get
there,
it
was
a
lot
of
work
with
working
with
odot
working
with
odot's
consultants,
molly
jesse
me
jason,
all
working
together
all
to
to
get
to
the
end
point.
There.
I
I
If
you
remember
back
in
october
of
2019,
that's
when
molly
did
the
presentation
to
the
board
at
the
time
it
was
before
the
ptap,
it
was
called
an
sspp,
so
under
the
673
it's
required
to
be
a
p-test.
That's
when
molly
did
that
presentation,
so
we're
going
to
be
required
to
do
that
every
year
and
then
we're
going
to
be
required
to
you
know,
bring
it
to
the
board
for
board
approval
every
year.
I
So,
in
april
of
this
year
april,
22nd
2020
the
fda
issued
a
notice
which
they
were
not
going
to
enforce
the
compliance
date
of
july
20th.
They
extended
to
december
31st
of
this
year.
With
that
we
still
met
the
july
20th.
I
Date
so
some
of
the
roles
and
responsibilities
so
under
the
sms,
it's
a
top-down
approach.
So
being
the
board
is
at
the
top
there's
some
roles
and
responsibilities
so
number
one
promote
safety
as
a
core
value.
I
Help
reinforce
a
culture
that
includes
focus
on
safety,
support
the
accountable
executive
to
ensure
resource
allocation
for
a
strong
safety
management
system
and
approve
the
p-test
manually.
So
we'll
be
doing
this
every
year
and
we'll
probably
have
a
meeting.
You
know
before
this
to
kind
of
go
over
any
changes
or
anything
like
that
with
the
p-test.
I
So
moving
forward,
so
this
is
my
favorite
slide
here.
So
safety
is
everyone's
responsibility,
so
you
know
this
was
kind
of
a
cliche
in
the
safety
world,
but
under
sms
it
makes
each
each
department
responsible
for
safety,
so
each
department
will
be
required
to
monitor
safety
in
their
own
departments
and
that
all
kind
of
rolls
up
and
feeds
up
into
the
the
safety
department
further
promote
a
culture
of
safety.
So
we
have
employee
reporting
systems,
so
we
have
our
open
door
policy.
I
We
also
created
a
web
portal
where
employees
can
go
on
to
and
report
any
safety
concerns.
So
the
big
thing
with
employee
reporting,
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
able
to
to
close
that
loop
and
to
to
give
feedback
to
the
employees
as
to
what
they
reported
on
and
number.
Three
here
is
a
geographic
information
system
gis.
I
So
this
is
technology
that
goes
into.
We
use
a
software
called
arcmap,
so
the
first
one
here
is
intersection
evaluation,
so
jason
and
I
had
a
meeting
with
trustee
cooper
and
councilwoman
hammond,
and
from
that
meeting
we
decided
or
determined
that
we're
going
to
do
intersection
evaluations
along
the
streetcar
alignment.
To
start
with.
So
with
this
system,
the
gis
will
be
able
to
plot
this
on
the
software.
So
we'll
have
a
map
of
all
the
intersections.
I
Each
intersection
will
have
a
rating
from
all
four
directions
and
we'll
know
you
know
what
to
do
with
each
intersection
into.
I
just
see
the
camera
now
we'll
we'll
be
able
to
see
the
the
hazards
of
each
will
be
able
to
rate
each
intersection
as
a
hazard
and
what
to
do
to
help
mitigate
that
and
make
it
a
safer
intersection
and
then
with
sms.
I
It
kind
of
translates
over
into
the
bus
side
as
well.
So
with
using
the
same
system.
The
mapping
system
we'll
be
able
to
do
evaluations
of
our
bus
stops
and
and
map
those
into
into
the
software
as
well.
So
we'll
basically
have
a
map
of
all
our
bus
stops
and
each
bus
stop
will
have
a
hazard
rating
and
then
we'll
be
able
to
mitigate
those
hazards
to
make
the
bus
stop
safer.
A
J
Oh
mine
says
waiting.
G
Yes,
this
is
a
new
program
that
we're
presenting
to
the
trustees
for
consideration.
We
think
it
will
have
benefits
both
to
the
parking
system
in
terms
of
hopefully
incentivizing
people
to
park
in
copper
garages
over
other
parking
locations
so
that
they
can
ride
the
streetcar
at
no
cost
for
that
day
that
they
are
parking,
but
then
also
help
introduce
more
people
to
public
transit,
specifically
the
streetcar
and
assist
in
in
developing
ongoing
ridership
with
the
oklahoma
city
streetcar
system.
G
So,
as
you
mentioned,
mr
chairman,
the
way
it
basically
works
is
with
proof
of
pulling
a
parking
ticket.
If
you
will
from
a
copper
garage
that
essentially,
would
be
the
the
proof
of
fare
for
riding
the
streetcar,
and
that
would
allow
two
people
to
be
able
to
ride
the
street
car
for
free
if
they
park
in
a
cockpit
parking
garage-
and
this
is
a
pilot
program
that
we're
asking
the
trustees
to
consider.
G
We
plan
to
operate
it
for
six
months
report
back
and
then
determine
if
we
a
want
to
continue
it
or
b,
if
it
is
successful,
potentially
put
it
in
as
a
long-term
program.
G
B
B
B
Everybody
has
a
copy
of
the
proposed
budget
in
their
folder
by
each
department,
so.
G
Yes,
I'm
glad
to
share
a
few
comments
and
again
to
your
point,
mr
chairman,
I
think
this
will
be
the
third
time
the
budget
has
been
shared
publicly
and
or
discussed
publicly
within
the
last
four
days.
So
I'll
try
to
keep
my
comments
pretty
brief
and
then
glad
to
answer
any
questions,
but
the
overall
takeaways
for
the
budget
are
this.
G
I
mean
we
understand
in
the
current
economic
environment,
all
city
departments
and
and
the
trust
notwithstanding,
really
we're
required
to
make
some
budget
reductions
short-term
adjustments
for
that
matter,
but
some
budget
adjustments
for
the
next
fiscal
year
to
be
able
to
deliver
services
with
a
balanced
budget
so
for
the
copper
budget
overall
for
2021
you'll
see
we're
looking
at
a
budget
just
under
44
million
dollars,
that's
a
reduction
of
around
2.9
million
or
about
a
6.2
percent
reduction.
So
overall
we're
looking
at
about
a
6.2
percent
reduction
on
the
budget.
G
Our
bike
share
operation
and
our
river
operation.
On
the
other
hand,
their
budgets
are
significantly
reduced.
You
can
see
the
numbers
in
your
packet
there,
but
89
reduction
on
spokee's
budget
and
80
reduction
on
the
oklahoma
river
budget,
and
that's
because
we
do
plan
to
suspend
service
temporarily
for
one
year.
G
G
There
is
no
general
fund
money
that
goes
into
the
parking
system,
so
we,
you
know
our
revenues,
our
budget,
they
fluctuate
with
the
economy
and
our
customer
base
and
unfortunately,
with
the
current
economic
environment,
we
are
looking
at
a
substantial
decrease
in
projected
revenues
for
next
year.
Our
parking
budget
is
project.
Our
parking
budget
is
set
at
just
a
little
over
4.6
million.
That's
about
a
1.2,
I'm
sorry,
a
1.2
million
dollar
reduction
from
the
previous
fiscal
year
or
essentially
about
a
21
reduction.
G
Now
the
takeaway
on
the
parking
budget
is.
We
have
been
in
a
very
fortunate
situation
with
our
parking
operation,
where
we've
been
able
to
budget
excess
revenues,
revenues
well
and
in
excess
of
our
expenditures
and
put
those
over
in
our
capital
reserves,
so
this
year
alone,
for
example,
got
I
believe
we
had
one
point.
A
G
A
This
is
david
greenwell.
I
do
have
a
question
as
it
relates
to
the
parking
and
and
employees
of
the
city
of
oklahoma
city.
Do
we
charge
them
to
does
the
does
copter
get
paid
for
their
parking.
G
Is
one
of
coppa's
largest
contracted
monthly
parking
customers.
G
It
is
yes,
it's
the
we
charge
the
standard
rate
in
our
fee
schedule
for
the
sheridan
walker
parking
garage
in
the
arts
district
parking
garage-
and
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me
but
you'll
remember.
Our
rate
schedule
is
tiered,
so.
G
G
B
Any
other
questions,
then
I'd
have
a
motion
to
approve
item
g,
adopting
our
2021
budget.
E
F
F
I
said
this
on
tuesday
as
well,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
aware
make
all
of
our
my
fellow
trustees
aware
what
what
where
my
struggles
are
right
now
with
this
budget,
I
always
in
unless
something
like
drastically
changes
will
always
just
be
proud
of
the
work
that
jason
does
as
our
administrator
I'm
having
a
really
difficult
time
with
the
entirety
of
the
budget
this
year,
like
a
very
difficult
time
with
it,
and
I
it's
not
a
reflection
on
the
city
manager
and
it's
not
a
reflection
on
doug
dowler.
F
It's
for
me
right
now.
You
know,
and
I
applaud
some
of
the
efforts
that
are
going
on
discussions
about
spokies,
but
you
know
to
me
just
seeing
something
like
that.
F
You
know
removed
right
now
is-
is
very
it's
a
painful
cut
to
me
as
someone
who,
throughout
every
single
day
of
this
shelter
in
place,
has
rode
my
bike
from
paseo
to
scissortail
park
for
my
mental
health
and
my
physical
health,
and
I
do
that
at
the
end
of
every
workday,
whether
it
was
grading
essays
working
with
my
students
online,
doing
council
responsibilities
trying
to
respond
to
this
historic
pandemic,
and
there
would
be
times
I
would
see
folk
on
spokey's
bikes,
I'm
guessing
doing
similar
work
that
I
was
mental
health
and
physical
health
work.
F
F
I
am
very
proud
of
the
two
financial
relief
bills
that
our
congressional
delegation
supported,
because
that's
how
we're
getting
this
cares
funding,
but
I
think
there
could
have
been
steps
taken
from
the
very
beginning
of
this
pandemic
to
prevent
our
cities
from
from
being
from
having
to
do
this.
This
work
of
of
you
know
a
hand
over
here
hand
over
here
on
a
dam
to
keep
it
from
all
falling
apart,
and
so
I
just
wanted
you
all
to
know
that.
F
That's
where
I
am,
and
even
though
right
now
with
this
particular
vote
on
copper
me
voting
in
favor
of
this
is,
is
no
indication
of
what
I'm
gonna
do
on
the
16th
and
again
it's
not
a
reflection
of
jason
and
their
team,
and
I
I
love
all
of
my
fellow
trustees
and
the
work
you're
doing.
But
you
know
I
just
I'm
I'm
really.
F
This
is
a
struggle
for
me
and
I'll
also
say
this,
and
I
said
this
on
tuesday
and
I
know
we've
talked
about
it
before
and
I
am
very
much
looking
forward
to
the
regional
transit
authority
vote
in
a
few
years.
But
when
I
say
that
phrase
in
a
few
years,
I'm
having
such
a
difficult
time
such
a
difficult
time,
knowing
that
we
provide
someday
bus
service
now,
but
that
was
a
service
that
this
city
had
never
provided.
F
Private
companies
did
I
learned
when
up
until
1964-65
they
did
that
we
did
not-
and
I
know
I'm
guessing
many
of
you
all
do
as
well,
because
you're
transit
advocates
that
historically
across
our
country,
cities
defunded
bus
service
directly.
In
result
as
a
direct
result
of
the
montgomery
bus
boycotts,
that
rosa
parks
and.
H
B
F
But
we
just
got
to
be
honest
about
this
and
any
anyone
who
really
digs
into
the
history
of
public
transit
knows
that
this
is
true
and
I'm
so
proud
of
the
residents
of
oklahoma
city
in
the
last
10
years,
15
years,
who
have
put,
who
have
prioritized
public
transportation.
Again,
you
understand
that
it
is
a
way
to
connect
people
to
every
people
of
every
skin
color
to
the
basic
needs.
F
H
F
F
That
does
not
look
at
ways
to
at
least
on
our
routes
that
have
the
highest
employment
and
residential
density
that
we
are
not
doing
everything
we
can
to
have
15
minute
frequency,
council
person,
hammond
told
a
story
on
tuesday
of
a
gentleman
who,
because
of
the
system
we
have
in
place,
had
to
transfer
multiple
times,
took
him
three
hours
to
get
to
his
job
three
hours.
F
When
we
were
in
new
york
city
for
the
public
transit
conference,
the
apta
conference
that
I
have
attended
every
year
that
I
could,
except
for
one
since
I've,
been
a
trustee
when
we
were
there
in
october
and
we
were
staying
in
times
square.
I
walked
three
minutes
to
a
subway
stop.
F
I
didn't
even
have
to
look
at
the
times
in
anticipation
of
when
the
next
subway
was
going
to
be
there,
because
I
knew
it
would
be
there.
Every
four
minutes
didn't
matter
and
that's
the
sort
of
reliability
that
our
people
need.
They
need
to
know
that,
regardless
of
when
they
they
step
out
their
door
at
the
very
least-
and
we
know
it's
an
industry
standard
at
the
very
least,
every
15
minutes
transit
is
on
its
way
and
again
I
applaud
our
efforts.
This
is
not
rhetoric.
F
I
applaud
our
efforts
because
that's
what
that
bus,
rapid
transit
is
going
to
do
on
class
and
in
a
few
years
and
those
efforts
that
can
only
happen
because
of
the
work
you
all
have
done
again
securing
that
federal
grant,
but
even
with
that,
we're
still
going
to
have
a
bit
of
a
struggle.
I
am
to
understand
on
how
we're
going
to
ensure
we
fund
the
operations
for
brt
like
I
just
it's
really
hard.
It's
really
really
hard
for
me,
and
I
just
I
really
wanted
to
share.
F
What's
on
my
heart
and
on
my
mind
in
the
historical
context
in
which
I'm
having
a
very
difficult
time
with
with
this
budget
right
now,.
B
Thank
you
james.
Let's
I'm.
F
Sorry,
no
I'm
sorry.
I
I
have
a
little
bit
more
to
say
on
that
chairman.
If
you
would
allow
me
please,
this
is
important.
This
is
important
all
across
our
country.
Right
now
we
are
having
budget
conversations
about
how
to
reallocate
resources
to
underserved
underrepresented
and
marginalized
communities,
and
I
want
my
fellow
trustees
to
to
just
I
don't
know.
I
just
want
you
all
to
be
with
me
in
this
moment
of
understanding
how
deep
this
defunding
this
unfunding
of
this
service
has
gone.
F
B
B
All
right,
thank
you.
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
say
aye
kaufman
eye
five
years.
E
Ago,
remember
we
recorded
your
vote
councilman
greenwell.
Would
you
like
to
cast
a
verbal
vote.
E
B
G
Nothing
further
than
what
I
mentioned
previously
unless
there
are
questions
from
the
trustees
and
I'm
glad
to
glad
to
answer
them.
B
B
J
J
B
E
Chairman,
would
you
like
me
to
call
call
the
verbal
vote
for
you.
C
Right
so
we're
voting
by
voice.
J
E
J
E
Roll
okay,
chairman
kaufman
you're,
a
vice
chairman,
setner,.
E

H
Inspector

you've
seen
the
signs
and
I'll
show
you
in
the
presentation

turned
out
pretty
well,
we
have
begun
leaving
the
lights
on
during
the
day,
thanks
to
trustwell,
greenwell's
comments
and
requests
in
the
first
image,
you

the
sheridan
walker

and
lastly,

west
side
of
the
garage.
J
H
All
right
I'll
go
back
through
the
pictures.
Do
we
want
a
narrative
again,
or
do
you
just
want
me
to
scroll
through
the
pictures.
H
A
E
J

J
B

C
B
J
B
B
B
Motion
passes
jason.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
brief
comments
on
our
our
cop
to
schedule,
revenues
and
expenditures
or
budget
to
actual
for
the
10
months
ending
april
30th.
But
if
you've
got
any
brief
comments.
G
G
A
couple
just
a
couple
of
brief
comments,
mr
chairman:
would
it
be
okay
with
you,
while
we
still
have
the
shared
screen
pulled
up
that
corey
provide
a
quick
update
on
the
convention
center
parking
garage?
F
H
H
Quick
update
on
the
scada
hardware
and
software
upgrade
all
garages
minus
the
shirt
and
walker
are
complete.
We'll
start
the
work
on
the
shirt
and
walker
garage.
H
It's
going
quite
well
a
couple
images
of
our
current
garage
under
construction.
Here's
a
fifth
floor
aerial
of
the
garage
from
several
weeks
ago
yesterday
came
in
and
found
out
that
we
went
ahead
of
schedule
by
one
day
and
finished
pouring
all
the
parking
levels.
H
So
6.5
is
what
you're
seeing
being
finished
up
tomorrow
today
yesterday
sorry
pleased
about
that,
we've
already
started
on
our
vehicle
barrier
walls.
On
the
up
on
the
sixth
floor,
our
southwest
staircase
is
complete,
obviously
minus
the
glass
and
railings,
but
that
was
done
in
one
day's
work,
believe
it
or
not
a
picture
of
the
northwest
staircase
which
will
be
completed
today,
installation
of
the
exterior
walls
or
storefront
of
the
new
parking
operations
offices.
H
The
offices
are
expected
to
be
completed
in
six
weeks.
Elevators
are
expected
to
arrive
on
june
16th
with
installation
beginning
the
following
day
and
the
horizontal
vehicle
cables
vehicle
barriers.
The
cables
are
installations
underway.
So
far,
final
completion
is
still
first
of
november,
with
final
completion
in
early
december.
G
Yes,
sir,
just
a
few
a
few
comments,
my
comments
are
going
to
be
consistent
with
really
what
we
had
talked
about
last
month
in
terms
of
really
beginning
to
see
the
the
impact
on
our
revenues,
both
on
the
parking
side
and
the
transit
side
here
on
the
april
financials.
So
just
letting
you
know
that
if
you
want
to
start
on
page
two
of
your
budget
to
actual
under
transportation
operations,
our
fare
box
revenue
is
about
84
of
what
we
had
estimated.
G
We
have
a
negative
variance
of
200
000
on
our
fare
box
revenue
and
our
past
sales,
a
negative
variance
of
59
000,
and
so
again
not
it's
not
unexpected.
Due
to
our
change
in
the
way
we're
we're
operating
our
system
with
rear
door
boarding,
not
accepting
cash
payments
at
the
fare
box
and,
of
course,
reduced
frequency
and
reduced
ridership,
a
couple
things
to
be
looking
for
into
the
future
on
our
budget
to
actuals.
G
With
regards
to
transportation
operations,
we
do
not
anticipate
being
able
to
take
any
more
of
our
general
fund
subsidy
this
year.
So,
where
you
see,
through
the
10
months,
ending
we've
drawn
about
14.8
million
of
general
fund
subsidy,
we
will
no
longer
be
able
to
take
any
general
fund
transfer
and
instead
we
will
be
substituting,
cares
act
funding
to
help
offset
the
operation
costs
through
the
remainder
of
the
year.
G
So
that's
just
a
couple
of
things
to
be
aware
of,
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
although
you
see
a
positive
variance
on
expenditures,
positive
mean
meaning
to
the
good
we're
we're
under
budget
on
expenditures
through
10
months
by
about
a
million
dollars
a
lot
of
that
savings,
particularly
in
the
personal
services
category
you're,
going
to
see
that
go
away
with
the
approval
of
the
collective
bargaining
agreement,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
skip
over
to
parking
on
page
four
and
again
just
discuss
a
couple
of
revenue
items,
revenue
items
that
we're
looking
at
very
closely
and
that
we
use
to
build
our
budget
for
next
year
monthly
contract
parking.
G
G
Now
with
that
said
again,
if
I
can
just
direct
your
attention
to
the
operating
income
line
on
the
budget
to
actual
even
with
those
negative
variances
we're
still
through
10
months
of
the
fiscal
year,
a
million
dollars
to
the
good,
so
our
revenues
are
still
in
excess
of
our
expenditures
by
a
million
dollars.
G
We
do
expect,
obviously,
as
we
finish
up
the
last
two
months
of
the
fiscal
year
for
that
surplus
to
decrease,
but
we
will
still
likely
finish
the
year
with
a
surplus
on
the
parking
system,
and
I
think
that
will
that
will
conclude
my
comments,
mr
chairman,
and
unless
trustees
have
any
questions
on
any
other
financials
or
anything.
I've
discussed.
F
Thank
you,
chairman
jason.
Oh
what
again,
just
going
back
to
what
I
was
saying
earlier,
I'm
I'm
very
happy
with
the
way
you
and
your
team
are
managing.
These
cares
act,
funds
and
so
responsibly
as
stewards
for
the
next
couple
years.
Could
you
what
happened
in
a
couple
years?
I
guess
one
of
my
grave
concerns
is
two
years
from
now,
when
we
don't
have
some
of
that
bears,
act,
funding
or
maybe
any
of
it,
and
this
nine
million
dollars
in
terms
coming
out
of
the
general
fund.
F
My
worry
is
that
is
restoration,
like
is
that
we
get
is,
is
that
we
go
back
in
some
ways
from
where
we've
been
in
the
last
15
years.
We've
had
such
an
incredible
forward
movement
because
of
your
hard
work
and
the
support
you've
had
from
folk,
like
assistant
city
manager,
laura
johnson
and
the
trustees.
G
Yeah,
so
we
I
and
we,
I
think
collectively
all
share
those
same
concerns.
That
certainly
is
a
reality
and
yeah
I
mean
the
way.
The
main
reason
we're
able
to
preserve
our
bus
operations
in
particular
is
because
we
are
able
to
leverage
that
cares,
funding
to
offset
the
cost
of
our
operations
and
of
the
24
million
dollars.
In
cares
funding
that
really
came
to
oklahoma
city
for
transit.
G
You
know
we
do
have
a
two-year
plan
to
spend
9
million
of
that
over
the
next
two
years.
As
I
mentioned,
we're
already
going
to
be
using
some
of
the
cares
funding
to
get
through
this
fiscal
year
with
general
fund
revenues
coming
in
under
budget.
G
So
the
way
I
look
at
it
is,
I
share
those
same
concerns.
The
cares.
Funding
essentially
buys
us
time,
and
what
does
it
buy
us
time,
for
it
buys
us
time
for
the
economy
to
recover
and
for
you
know,
revenues
to
get
back
up
to.
You
know
pre-covered
levels
and
if
that's
the
case
then
I
think
it
of
course
comes
down
to
a
policy
decision
of
how
you
know
the
rebound
or
the
the
recoup
of
those
revenues
are
allocated.
G
Ideally,
the
transit
system
could
could
be
made
whole,
but
obviously
there's
no
guarantee
of
that
in
the
future
and
worst
case
scenario
yeah
two
years
from
now,
we
could
be
looking
at
having
to
make
some
difficult
decisions.
If,
if
one
you
know
revenues,
don't
come
back
like
you
know
we're
hoping
they
do
over
the
next
two
years
or
for
some
reason,
revenues
are
returned
to
pre-covered
levels
and
and
they're
not
allocated
to
transit,
but
I
mean
that's
just
the
reality
of
that's
just
the
reality
of
where
we're
at
so.
G
We
do
not
cannot
sit
here
today
and
say
it's
smooth
sailing
from
here
on
out
and
and
the
cares
act
is
gonna
help
us
stay
whole
for
two
years,
because
we're
gonna
have
probably
some
tough
decisions
to
make
two
years
from
now
yeah,
I'm
sorry.
G
You
had
asked
about
the
industry
as
a
whole,
and
you
know
I'm
on
a
weekly
call
through
the
american
public
transit
association
that
transit
managers
are
involved
in,
and
you
know
different
thing
about
transit
is
you
know,
different
communities
have
different
funding
sources,
but
even
those
transit
agencies
with
dedicated
funding
are
basically
experiencing
the
same
thing
we
are
and
that
they
rely
on
that
sales
tax
to
pay
their
bills.
G
Just
like
we
do
sales
tax
coming
into
the
general
fund
and
then
the
general
fund
provides
it
to
us,
and
so
most
transit
agencies
again
are
are
using
the
karzak
funding
for
the
same
purpose
as
we
are,
whether
in
part
or
an
entirety
to
supplement
operations,
operations
costs.
F
What
what
are
updates
right
now,
I
remember
when
there
were-
I
remember
apta,
you
know
back
it's
all
a
blur,
but
before
the
first
relief
package
I
remember
they
were
doing
outreach
to
advocates
across
the
the
country
and
to
systems
across
the
country,
and
you
know
saying
hey
this
is
this
is
what
we're
needing
and
then-
and
I
remember,
reaching
out
to
our
federal
lobbyists
and
like
hey,
you
have
my
support.
F
Let
let
our
congressional
delegation
from
oklahoma
know,
do
we
know
what
are
there
any
specific
ask
at
this
moment
from
apta
in
terms
of
the
this
next
corona
relief
package
and
how
my
I
or
anyone
watching
listening
or
any
of
the
other
trustees
be
of
assistance.
G
Well,
I
could
say
you
know,
I
mean
generally
app
to
our
association
is,
of
course,
in
support
of
any
additional
funding.
You
know
to
help
secure
transit
now
and
into
the
future,
and
I
know
they're
actively
lobbying
to
you
know
demonstrate
the
the
value
of
transit.
What
I
do
know
is
that
you
know
the
the
last.
I
think
serious
piece
of
legislation
was
being
considered
and
things
could
have
changed
in
the
last
week
there
there
was
some
consideration
for
additional
funding
for
transit.
G
G
So
in
terms
of
what
anyone
you
know,
listening,
that
is
interested
in
supporting
transit
in
oklahoma
city
could
do
and
what
we're
interested
in
doing
and
having
communications
with
our
federal
lobbyists
about
is
trying
to
convey
that
you
know
that
doesn't
necessarily
help
oklahoma
city,
I
mean
I
do
know
that
the
legislation
had
some
funding
available,
that
transit
agencies
could
compete
for
if
they,
you
know,
it
was
basically
a
demonstration
of
need.
G
But
you
know
when
I
think
of
of
our
city
in
particular-
and
we
know
this
from
our
customer
service
surveys.
You
know
I
would
argue
that
oklahoma
city
might
be.
G
You
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
cities
with
that
higher
transit
dependent
customer
base
right
and
so,
whereas
a
larger
municipality,
their
ridership
might
be
comprised
of
more
commuters
that
have
a
choice
and
again
not
to
put
any
agency
against
another
or
size,
but
I
do
think
we
could
certainly
demonstrate
a
need
at
least
percentage-wise
of
the
amount
of
customers
we
have
they're
transit-dependent
and
without
the
transit
system
you
know
how
do
they
get
to
work?
How
do
they
get
to
school?
G
How
they
get
to
medical
appointments,
they
may
not
have
that
option
of
a
vehicle
like
let's
say
a
typical
commuter
in
a
larger
city
might
have
so
that's
really
where
I'm
at
is.
Hopefully
any
additional
funding
that
comes
to
support.
Transit
really
accounts
for
the
for
the
medium
size
and
even
small
size
agencies
as
well,
and
I
think
that's
hopefully
that's
the
message
we
can
get
across.
F
Yeah,
thank
you.
For
that
perspective.
I
think
what
I
can
do
is
I'm
happy
to
to
draft
a
letter
of
support
of
that
approach,
and
I
can
ask
our
council
staff
to
maybe
arrange
a
phone
call
between
myself
and
the
federal
lobbyists
to
let
them
know
that
that
letter
is
enroute
and
if
you
have
any
I'd.
F
With
you
before,
I
you
know,
send
it
off
make
sure
it
is
hitting.
What
you
all
see
is
our
needs,
because
you're
going
to
know
it
a
little
bit
better
than
I
am,
and
so
yeah
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that
and
I'll
talk
to
debbie
martin
today.
But
I.
E
B
B
B
J
F
J
B
Motion
passes,
jason,
do
we
have
do
we
have
a
transit
system
report
or.
G
Reports
we
did,
we
did
not
have
a
presentation
for
the
for
the
trust
the
transit
system
report
is
included
in
the
packet.
I'm
happy
to
you
know,
make
some
comments
on
it.
G
If
you'd,
like
essentially
you'll,
see
really
the
story
with
the
transit
system
report
is
we
were
having
a
a
very
solid
year
in
terms
of
ridership,
particularly
on
the
bus
side
actually
beginning
to
exceed
last
year's
ridership,
of
course,
until
you
know
march
and
april
hit,
so
I
mean
I'm
glad
to
answer
any
questions,
but
basically
april
ridership
was
down
significantly
across
all
transportation
modes
and
the
graphs
indicate
such
with
with
that.
G
I
guess
with
that
said,
though
this
is
the
data
through
april,
looking
into
may
and
even
into
june,
when,
where
some
of
the
restrictions
have
been
lifted,
we
have
actually
seen
our
ridership
increase,
pretty
significantly
we're
now
this
week
you
know
well
over
5000
trips
a
day
on
the
bus
side
and
with
return
to
normal
service
hours
and
service
span
this
sunday.
B
B
F
E
C
Mr
chairman,
yes
I
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
how
much
I
commend
jason
and
the
entire
embark
team,
because
this
has
truly
been
an
effort
from
everyone
from
every
single
mechanic
and
bus
driver
and
customer
service,
rep
and
paratransit
operator
all
the
way
through
the
administration
to
come
through
this
very
difficult
time
with
the
virus.
It's
it's
a
situation
that
we
really
didn't
have
any
kind
of
template
to
work
from
you
know.
C
We've
worked
a
lot
of
emergencies
here
in
oklahoma,
city,
fires,
floods,
tornadoes
other
pestilence
and
disaster,
but
we
didn't
have
anything
like
this
coveted
19
emergency
to
deal
with,
and
they
immediately
implemented
plans
and
protocols
to
protect
their
employees,
their
customers
and
whatever
service
level.
They
could
continue
to
have,
on
top
of
that,
to
have
the
kind
of
economic
situation
to
deal
with
that
we're
looking
at
for
our
budget
and
to
come
up
with
ways.
B
F
Thank
you.
I
want
to
echo
your
remarks
and
laura's
remarks
and
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
jason
and
jesse,
and
the
bulk
who
joined
our
virtual
town
hall,
that
council
person,
nice
and
council
person
hammond
held
recently.
I
think
it
was
a
tuesday
after
council
and
just
hearing
from
the
operators
hearing
from
the
bulk
who
are
doing
the
the
just
incredible
attention
to
cleaning
our
equipment.
It's
just
it's
you
all
are
just
doing
incredible.
F
I
I
hope
that
those
words
do
not
just
come
across
as
rhetoric.
I
I
just
so
impressed
I'm
so
proud
of
you.
All
I've
always
been
proud
of
you
all
since
I
first
joined,
and
it's
just
been
my
honor
to
serve-
and
I
don't
know
if
mayor
cornett
watches
any
of
this-
I
don't
know
where
he's
at
these
days
when
it
comes
to
kappa,
but
I
just
if
he
is
hearing
this
just
really
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
serve.
