the four that i'm going to talk about today, and i see that it looks like ed rifkin who has been here since 1:30, had to leave for another meeting. so, it's unfortunate. but henry is here from mta if we have mta questions. so, the four that i want to summarize today are the public safety radio replacement, that's the 800 megahertz system, the bay web project, the mta system, and the public service radio replacement. is, the first of these and from our perspective, the most important of these is the 800 megahertz radio system replacement project. ~ so last week at the board of supervisors -- >> ms. crone enberg -- >> yes. >> we need to have the slides. mr. young, can we get -- there they go, great. >> oh, great, thank you. >> do you have copies you can circulate to us? >> staff can make them for you. >> i believe they were e-mailed to us, but we didn't have a chance to put them out. >> oh, okay. sorry. so, the 800 megahertz radio replacement project, last week we thank you for honoring our dispatcher of the year, cory cruz. that was such a delight to see her being represented here and
