them to the interim operations control -- mca is proposing to return to the interim operations control center. similarly, we have the obligation of $69 million on the fund replacement project. it straddles both the facilities and guidance categories. another obligation is the significant financing costs for both categories. just for reference, it takes the facilities category from 32% financing cost down to 25%, making $6 million more available for projects. we will get about $8 million made available for projects. with that, and will be happy to answer questions. >> thank you, ms. lombardo. commissioner avalos? commissioner avalos: thank you, maria. you have this line item for the geneva project. can you comment on that? this is a source where funding is being reallocated? is that correct? >> the geneva kennedy project -- canopy project was projectprop k funded at all. what mta is proposing is to redirect that funding to the subway. commissioner avalos: thank you. commissioner campos: thank you. colleagues, any of the questions? no questions. let's open it up to public comment. is the
