mr. patrick, yes [indiscernible] >> they mentioned the word champion. this came up in our board meeting two nights ago. we have a champion. the champion was the voters for this project, and we don't have a champion -- the champions are the voters. you can't put your hands around them. but you guys, this board, is tasked with being that champion, we have to designate, or you have to hire a champion, and i think she was right when she talked about a champion, and it came up at the board meeting. the notion of a champion is to sell the project, sell it every single day, every time it turns around, i want to give you a pen from the transit center, i want to do whatever you have to do you have to knock the heck out of this thing. i'm looking for a champion. i haven't found one yet. thank you. >> all right. at this time you are scheduled to go into closed session. we have not received any indication that a member of the public wishes to address you on the items listed. they have an opportunity to do so now or we will go and close the room. >> just real quick,

mr. patrick. >> good morning. i'm jim patrick, patrick and company, representing myself and the public. i argued in front of this commission that we should not do this report. so now i'm evaluating some of their recommendations. reposition the rail, so-called rail program. we formed the tjpa a long time ago, which was a ring forking, which is a very thing they're recommending was done a long time ago. redefine the program value proposition. if you look at the tjpa board, what they have on them is caltrain, muni, bart. they have all of these players on the board. that's in position now. rename. yeah. you want to rename it, that's no big deal. drum up support for financing. yes, definitely need to do that. engage the public directly. advance social equity. i'm not for social equity, i'm for building the most efficient railroad system as quickly as we can, that will achieve social equity. so i think we've got the shoe backwards here. this effectively delays this -- it has already delayed this program nine months. we all agree on that. it appears to me it will delay it another 24 months. al

mr. moeller relied on extensively. it says hi patrick the owner asked that i send you the attached revised design for his project, in response to your concerns about the rear deck and privacy. we decided to eliminate the rear deck and only keep a minimum 4 foot deep landing area so the owner can exit out of the rear family room glass door and descent down to the rear yard. the narrow deck will preclude any function or activity on the deck and will only serve as an access path to the rear yard. he also wanted to extend his study room on the second level by the same 4 foot depth so he can get an exit door from his room to the yard as well. hopefully this change, in addition to the other changes made since we first met, will alleviate your concerns and you will be willing to now support the project. i signed a document supporting his project based on this. if i can, i read someplace that pictures are worth 10,000 words, i actually googled it. i want to show you a few pictures if i may. this is the building, came before you a little while ag
