concern colors of money so to speak concern dollars for certain things i understand the money for the brt project can't be used for projects after it has been implement if i can make that request. >> we don't have staff unfortunately but certainly we're looking at that my understanding of the long term economic issues is whether or not the construction has changed the situation on the street and in a negative way instead of a positive way because of changes that were made for example, eliminating parking spaces or doing other things that don't seem to be working on the street is it so my understanding that is the important part of it not to take over an oewd function of the success of that street but that if the agency and the design that was executed and built has missed something somewhere a way to correct the mistakes i'm not sure you've got money for that but that's the prime thing nobody expects you to be primarily responsible for the development in the neighborhood i would think i'll bring that message back to the cac. >> the motion we're on the on the same page especially a clarify

partnering not just with a business leader, but with industry to develop credentials and i know that brt has been focused on a business roundtable and working with different industries and associations to try to develop credentialing that is both transferable, well understood within an industry, but also stackable in the sense that you can build upon it with a seamless transition to more education, but it is an area that i think needs a lot more attention, and frankly, for the industry associations, they have a rule to -- role to play. i think that, i will bet that you have an education subcommittee, and i will bet that this is a hot topic, and that is where partnering with community college, the american association of community colleges is very critical, because we have too many one off credentials. walter isaacson: i think you had your hand up earlier, so let me grab, yeah, i think? >> good morning, think you so much for the wonderful job that you're doing, and i'm from pre a, illinois -- peoria illinois, and i have an initiative, but it is taking too long, and i'm trying to get the f
