director hinze? >> director hinze: my apology. i was going to say, i would support us doing our own letter. in some cases we might agree with staff and we might agree with the mayor's office. we are requested to submit responses separately. i think we should submit a separate cover letter just in case we have different views. >> chair borden: great. are there any additional comments on this item? are we ready to call the roll? please call the roll. >> clerk: on that motion. [roll call vote] >> chair borden: what we decided, we'll do a cover letter or a letter that comes from the sfmta board highlighting kind of that we acknowledge these problems and we are taking proactive steps to rectify the situation. we're accepting the recommendation otherwise with our own letter kind of stating more of a position that director heminger put forth and we're also asking staff to come back to us to talk about how we're going to avoid this problem in the future and what actions steps are put in place to avoid the challenges of this project. >> di

director hinze. >> commissioner: i didn't have questions. >> commissioner: all right director eaken. >> thank you, madame chair. i wanted to link today's discussion with the last meeting discussion we had where the staff presented us with like a $5 million gap in the action strategy and director heminger asked can't you come up with $5 million and asked what transit line we'd like to cut. these are big numbers and would like to make a note that there's expressed a great deal of uncertainty and 2030 is quite a ways from now. we all know we're handling a lot of uncertainty. i want to point out we can choose to get 28 vehicles and free up some funding tying back to the conversation we had and i understand there's different time lines and color of money issues but i do want to just make the point that i think there are those funds available for the vision zero piece. it seems strategic for me to make the option without making the commitment. we're buying flexibility makes sense but it's notable the massive numbers we're talking about and bring up the somz we were talking about last -- su
