[laughter] >> senior member in terms of seniority. senior member too i think as i'm looking out. so, we're real proud to be cross trained as emts and firefighters. it's a proud week for us. looking back, there was some roadblocks and stops and starts. but i think we have a very, very good service that we provide on both the fire side and ems side. >> commissioner veronese: my hat's off to everybody because you are all truly lifesavers. i know you don't like to hear that you are heros. but i have a lot of people that i care about personally that wouldn't be around today. so, i have a deep appreciation for you. the barbecue i'm sorry i'm going to miss that. like commissioner covington, my -- the invitation didn't catch my calendar and that's unfortunate for the event today. but i will try to be better about that. because of the long weekend, i will be out of town. and then one

station 35 update. for the new station 35, we have an important meeting with them on june 11th, with bcdc, bay coastal development commission i believe. we have a meeting that the chief will be attending. this is for the station 35 permit approval. we've been working with bcdc for quite a while in terms of what the building looks like and it's footprint and all of that. so, this will be a big step in the process for us getting that permit approval. and then we will be able to move forward with other permits that we need to get. but bcdc is really theg one for us. the adf. ambulance deployment facility. there's been plenty of talk about that. determinelation and abatement -- determinelation and abatement has begun behind station nine that were filled with asbestos and some other things. but that has begun and dpw, bless their little hearts, has already pulled all the construction permits for adf. which is great and they're currently preparing the contract proposal to go out to bid. so that's great news.

guest: another example is with coast guard boat stations. they perform search-d-rescue operations as part of its mission and they have boot stations all around the country. identified 18 of their boat stations that they could close without jeopardizing their ability at all to provide that certain rescue operation. they have to be able to respond within a two hour window. they found there was into vocation and overlap in the stations. and that they could close those without having any kind of bad effect. that could potentially save millions of dollar ao makes itasier them if they have fewer boat stations, it's easier for them to maintain the training and the readiness of the personnel that they have. one of the stations that was looted for closure was badly damaged in a storm and they had to pay to repair it. to bring it back into operation. even though it is potentially on the chopping block for cutting. stationst identify the in 2013 and when we did our review in 2017, they still haven't started closing any of the stations. i had been some

removing staff from stations which have less than 40 daily each statio each one of those stations positions cost roughly $100,000. it is a significant expense, and the aim is to improve the economic performance of the national network while obviously focusing on keeping our service and serving the communities. >> 40 down the line that you drew? >> we did. we are continuing to look at >> are there any other stations on the amtrak network with fewer on-site ticket purchases that still have agents? >> no. everything at 40 -- everything on the long distance number, there are some instances potentially on the state- supported portion of the national network where states are paying for those costs. they decided to invest. but in general, we are moving staff from these locations. instead, because of the points you raised, we are using generally two strategies to make sure that we have adequate presence. one is to hire caretakers where we hire someone to come and open the station to make sure it is in proper condition and close it so it is open and available in good shape for the period of time tha

it is a very challenging location for a station. there are clearly operational benefits, and it allows the possibility, which we did not include in the cost estimate, of even expanding underground at the fourth at townsend station which would be an underground station at that location. there are obvious negatives to this alignment. there is some increase in cost, about 900 million, we think, that requires additional environmental review of the segment that is south of the railyard. it requires relocating storage and maintenance facilities, as i said, and probably requires some relocation of utilities. so where are we headed here? we think this is a reasonable, doable timeline, obviously there are factors, that will come into play here, that might affect this timeline. but we are, of course unit may, updating you, on tuesday of next week, we will presenting the same pub -- presentation to the public. over the next five or six weeks, we'll be doing presentations and we will hope to bring a recommendation for your approval either in ju
