[laughter] it has to be extremely challenging. and also just very supportive as director hinze said in anything we can do to make it as easy as possible for those who, sadly, may have to be terminated to rejoin the agency once they're fully vaccinated so thank you for the creative problem-solving work there to see any paperwork or red tape that can be cut to welcome people back. and the second is just to join you in the celebration. i know the m.t.a. staff have worked so hard on ab-43 and that was touch and go at points. it wasn't a sure thing by any stretch. is and that is a huge victory and that was our number one legislative priority throughout this year and great tots see so many san francisco partners stepping up to push that in sacramento as well. and thanks to mayor breed. and i wanted to echo director

obviously the latest news that chair borden and director tumlin issued were that service reservation also mentioned our persistent vacancy but i think what the conversation around that would be what is actually the hurdles and what we can do as a board to perhaps help us fill the remaining quarter vacancies that the agency has which is quite a task. >> thank you, any other, director. >> just quick, i imagine there in the board but the event, it seems likeit's been a little bit before . before i receive updates on both ofthese . and i know we're kind of closing in on the status to so we love to figure out what's going on with those two projects . in the coming weeks. >> thank you. any other items under new and unfinished business by board members. see non-we will open it up to public comment period for members who would like to comment on the questions that are board members should ask please note this is not a discussion period. we cannot answer your questions because again this is not a question and answer session but we are able to have you get comments on the questions chosen by b
