>> luis montoya. >> and your role is? >> i oversee jamie's work and he's our bicycle program major and i oversee his work as well. based on what we were seeing in the industry we were prepared to make a recommendation that as jamie described this was the best fit for san francisco. however the decision hasn't been made to issue jump a permit until january. as jamie mentioned there were intentional discussions about that and motivate indicated they may have a problem with issuing permits for a stationless bicycle. that's why they initiated the settlement negotiations per the contract. so we had to clarify with them what san francisco's intentions might be and then we had to confirm what san francisco intentions were and it wasn't until january the policy call was made to give jump the permit. we were steadying it up to that point and once the decision was made the permit was issued, we offered the same information to all the applicants at that time. >> if i can hop in and i have the same memorandum i received twice, as far
