E

Thank you, mr chairman. I believe we're just gonna give the head not to move it to executive committee and then it'll go through executive committee and then to the full board. Okay, but because it's planning a lot with the economic alliance. It starts here. Okay,.

A

So we don't need to vote on it. That's just a head nod then.

E

I don't, I don't know if we need to vote on it, but it is going. It is on the executive committee agenda.

A

Okay, we had a first and a second there. I believe.

Yeah, you can vote on.

E

A

C

A

We've been doing this for a long time, um we're just uh redoing it. I think it's a real good program.

C

Yeah, mr trump reauthorized every two years.

A

Every two years: okay.

F

Mr chairman, yes, um I just want to call attention to the committee, um and this is one where I I put a date in here under section 10. I just want everybody to be aware of it. Previously the agreements looked like they ended. On november 30th, um I put december 13th of 2022, which is the assumed date of when the new board will take, uh take its place. So we don't have a lapse because essentially we might be operating without an agreement. I just didn't want.

F

That is the only change I mean we updated the dates two years on the agreement. That's the only change I made um that might be identified as substantive for the committee to be aware of, and I can certainly um in time for executive we could roll that back to I just. I thought that trying to shoot for the day when we believe the uh the new board would take effect would be the most appropriate date.

F

A

Thanks, oh miss dunbar. I believe you I heard you there.

D

I did thank you, mr chairman, but I think mr wilson answered my question. There weren't any other significant changes correct mr wilson.

F

That is correct. Thank you. Okay,.

A

Okay, firing no more conversation or more discussion. Let's have a vote on that roll call. Please. Mr.

B

Featherling, yes, mr miller,.

C

B

Ms polk aye, mr peyton, miss peters aye ms dunbar aye, mr kinsey, here aye mr fairfield aye, mr smith.

B

B

Mr swanson hi, mr dunno hi, mr long hi mr eats mr wheeler aye, mr c ray aye motion carries.

A

Hey. Thank you.

A

Next up, we have a transportation update um ben. Is that going to be you that is okay.

F

A

Require any vote or anything so.

F

It does not require any vote.

A

F

Is just an update on our transit system, um we're talking about uh q1 uh for fiscal 2021, so that's july 1 through september 30th uh we did 60 622 trips um and I guess the thing to note there. It's a little over 40 decrease from the previous year, but it's a almost a 19 increase from the previous quarter. So even through the pandemic, obviously we've seen a drastic decrease in ridership, but we are seeing.

F

um We saw an increase in q1 so where trips were up um on demand response were up 600 trips and then on the computer routes and moments. We were up 500 trips so that that total of you know 60, 6200 trips, isn't isn't half bad, uh but it's still far below where we would be in a non-pandemic year. But it's nice to see a rebound um as businesses were getting open and people were getting back to work. The people were riding on the bus uh program.

F

Expenses for the quarter were uh 172 000, so that comes out to about 25 dollars.

A

Okay, thank you any any questions, mr smith,.

A

Darryl miss dale smith. Did you hear me now can't hear you dear apparently.

C

I'm just trying to find out if we're charging people for rights.

F

Currently, we're not collecting fares, uh mr smith, just with the exchange with the drivers. We're not we're not collecting fares.

C

And is that reimbursed some way through terrors or not.

F

um They're yeah they're they're able to request the reimbursement. The um the the fare box is not actually part of our formulaic. um So we're able to tap uh cares funds for the majority of our expenditures, but we can still tap 53 and 11 and uh downstate operating assistance remains fun. So it's not not collecting fares. Isn't it you know costing the county uh on the program. It's just it. It's a little safer for the drivers not be exchanging money right.

A

A

Okay, anyone, that's all the questions we have for mr wilson. Okay, thank you, mr wilson. For your time we go to old business. Now we don't have anything on your old business that I'm aware of and uh any new business at all from anyone that anyone has any questions about any new business or anything to talk about.

A

Okay, otherwise,.

G

A

G

I'd like to say something if anyone would like to donate to the dr martin luther king scholarship fund, please contact dr patricia polk.

A

Where would that.

G

Be at least I would be glad and all proceed well we're a 501c3. So all the proceeds go for the scholarships, since we can't have the actual prayer breakfast and all the other things that we do. This is our way of making scholarship money and we will have a program book.

A

Okay, thank you. uh We get emotional to adjourn. We don't have mr hess, so mr wheeler is going to make it and then.

D

A

Payton already seconded so all in favor, say aye. Thank you all motion.
