repair plummet program i agree that was the best time we talked about that a lot and now that plaza heavy workload on our staff but as we work closely and insure your relationship is helpful i want to make sure we have that same relationship moving forward with the tunnel that's a high priority i see this relationship is really bend all the constituents in making sure the product is come out with all we want so in the mountain tunnel and on our 10 year vip and the prudent maintenance of all the facilities we want to work with you and although presumably mountain tunnel is smaller must costinger than wisconsin up it

is urgent one the things about the project the opportunity to work on it is very narrow and limited to only several weeks possibly 2 months in the winter when did tunnel can be shut down so every month in which a detail occurs increases the risk of the tunnel collapse and the risk to the consumers so i'm encouraged by the design work i know you've been work around the clock to make decisions and recommend a long term solution now is the accident for a comprehensive plan the wissop has proven time after time such a plan in our cpa as well as your type of plan with this magnitude things can change that makes we think so

that's where we're at i respectfully request you ask the plan to be presented to you by may first that concludes any remarks i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> commissioners questions. >> none for you you've been very clear (laughter). >> that's correct i'm going to turn it over to mr. kelly. >> so as you probably know we've been talking about the mountain tunnel for awhile and been in conversation with bosco and working on a schedule there are so many options so we pretty much have a schedule but there are some things we're accounting the details so we can come to the next commission meeting and present the status with a schedule because we pretty much have a schedule we just are

reviewing it and there's so many other options so at the next commission meeting you'll have a line item to go over the schedule and what are some of the options that we're still looking at and i think where we are now we have trying to deal with the access of the tunnel and i think we're leaning towards trying to patch the old tunnel if we were to do a timeline a bypass it would take 8 years to do that you have to go through the environmental and the time to constrict is in the meantime you're at the risk of having it so we need to do some type of repairs we're going to present wherewith he wish next week and work with nicole she's

been asking for schedule inform a while we'll make sure she gets an opportunity to look at it before we present at the next meeting and that's good i don't think we've ever really look at patching we've never addressed that so i think that will be - >> yeah. one of the things we had we had the tick citizens advisory committee the patching is one of the options as far as - i can't ask you that darn it (laughter). >> i can ask steve. >> can we give him a different name. >> i'll defer to norway reign to tell me if i'm speaking out of turn there was a study that looked at a complete replacement

of bypass section and patching we did as nicole mentioned brought on a group of experts they focused on the poaching as a viable low-cost option and generated a report unfortunately, the report they generated which doesn't use the same absorptions of the initial report what we've been gho going through a process of balancing the recommendations using the same assumptions but most critical of which the new studies assuming you have the environmental schedule the environment is 3 years so is something like that your toishl taking 3 years off the schedule so we're going through that process so when it comes you, you can make a policy decision as which way to go. >> i think when i read the

exceptional engineering report the first time it was talking about patching patching is not like old things on the wall but the sections of the tunnel so it's not a complete redo but a piece of work. >> the work has to happy from the inside out. >> right. >> so we may want to work on another word. >> is there a middle patch you patch the sparkle the most critical talented portions while you're doing our environmental bypass. >> that's the goal of january as mentioned we're very small windows we can close that tunnel down and we just went through an inspection of the coast range tunnel we accomplished within

that timeline with the closed range tunnel based on that successful inspection i directed staff to move forward with a inspection of the mountain tunnel with the staff the goal would be to do that inspection and actually get a real number of what is it the interior damage we're working on the loose report as i said, the incredible part i've initiate and the environmental work it relevant whether or not you're going to do the material repair or the bypass we're not waiting resources by the patching so then we'll have a sense of what the potential damage is that will give a sense of the risk of failure and the real schedule

for repair. >> and the costs. >> i've given copies of my statement to dona. >> thank you very much. >> mr. vice president can we do a time check. >> i was going to hear the consent calendar and take a break would you like to take a break now. >> it's not a motivator of a break i turn into a pumpkin of 4:30 we have a lot of work to do i'm trying to figure out how to do that. >> how do we manage that. >> well, we do have a power point pay attention on pour plan if you choose to maybe move it off to the next meeting i think

a that's okay. >> how long is that likely to take. >> barbara you practice on our speed. >> (inaudible) arrest depending on the questions. >> we're going to pause. >> i'm sorry. >> the next session will have the power? if it's going to take 24 minutes >> we want you fresh because a lot of information to - >> actually, that's probably a low estimate. >> about 45 minutes. >> yeah. >> so let's do this let's take a 10 minute break right now. >> sorry. >> oh i thought i asked for that. >> $10 $10, $10 i'm collecting.
