different dialogues of the gary brt and i thank you for your effort. we've been engaged and it's a critical project for our whole city and the who's also western united states because it's the heat it used bus line in the whole region of our country. with the help of any citizens and students and others who depend on muni everyday we're trying to make sure that the gary brt will be successful. i think there's some experts around the country who are visiting now and engaging with them how to build it as quickly as possible. we're trying to expedite the brt systems and i really thank the

folks for developing a strategy to develop the project more than 20/20 but hopefully by 2018 but most of the energy is coming from the residents and transit riders who want a efficient transit city in the city. we've got some great applicants with that i'll introduce mr. chester you fong >> thank you committee members i'm the principle of the transportation with the authority. i i know there's a lot of appointments on your calendar this is for the gary citizen advisory committee. it begins on page 57 on your packet and the attachment is a summary of the application.

i've give a few remarks and close up. this item is a remindeder it's from an action to a two term gary dedicated c ac the results is 8 members have expired terms. now the board can reappoint those folks or appointment someone else. it's been meeting bio monthly but in relation to this item the staff said we're recruiting in august we're got many languages russian and chinese and we did an e-mail in multiple languages and also tasered it on facebook and we also previous applicants

from the spring >> just to remind i staff doesn't make any recommendations but i'll note we welcome new members in any prospective they bring. we help keep the project moving quickly by - i'll walk through the structure and vacancies quickly before i enclose my remarks so i'll turn now to the attachments to the memo. there are 3 sets of seats on the gary c ac each one dedicated to fulfill our neighborhood we have a seat for china and one for

turned out downtown and finally an at large category the richmond has 3 members all seats are expired two of them are seeking reappointment and the last one bruce is not seeking reappointment but two of the folks are. just a note those two folks are transit riders and that information dropped off i apologize for that. so for the richmond 3 seats expired and two seeking reappointment the first two on the table. now in the next district two of the seats are expired and two

members are seeking reappointment there. and then moving to 20ir7bd downtown one of the seats is expired and we haven't heard whether this member is seeking reappointment but it's expired for tenderloin downtown. and finally at the at large category 2 seats are expired that's joseph than and john both of them are seeking reappointment and jonathan is indeed a transit rider. so with that we did encourage the candidates to appear today to speak on their behalf and that's not mandatory for seeking reappointment. i'll conclude my speech >> i know we have a number of people. i wanted to start with the

existing c ac members who have expired seats in john an and jeff and anyone would like to speak, please come forward. i'm note i've been in contact with joanne and she had a conflict and coincident come today >> she did notify our office as the district one supervisor but i really appreciated her follow-up. where other applicants? >> good morning. i'm anthony. i've tried my hardest to make most of the meetings i believe i've been there 90 percent of
