this is why this industry is pushing this so much who want to elevate the status of buses to school buses you may building that but i believe we should be very clear we're talking about two type of types of services here here. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you, ma'am vice chair so i think it is important to be clear about the current state of the law there's the one about whether state law allows for example mta or other transit operators to enter into the agreements with a private employer the mta says it has that authority and as you recall

when we handled the ceqa appeal when we heard the ceqa appeal on the pilot program the opts modest the argument that mta was ironics wrong and we don't have the authority to enter into that with shuttle drivers there were members of the board of supervisors that expressed agreement it was illegal to enter into that i've not spoken to the author of this legislation i can't speak for him in terms of his motivation, in fact, there's a law pevend that is illegal for the mta underline state law to enter into state law with the shuttle drivers this clarifies that and i think that the staffs again, i'm not making a motion to support this this is in the early stamps but we can tell it

is moving in the direction to clarify state law those kinds of agreements are permissible that's why we should move to a watch position. >> any further discussion just to recap a motion made to reverse the decision from the finance commission - committee to the prefer decision by the finance committee to oppose sate bill 61 and that was seconded by supervisor tang mr. clerk but with let could roll call vote. >> let's take public comment on this item please. seeing no public comment public comment is closed. >> roll call vote. >> supervisor avalos
