Good morning.

This is a meeting of the Mass Transit Department Board for Wednesday, September the 3rd, 2025.

It is 11 50 6 a.m.

Present in presiding is board chair Johnson and also present in council chambers are board members Chavez Acevedo Nino Limon and Canales.

Mr.

Chair, we don't have any public comment.

Mayor, can we move the conversation out of the chamber?

Yes.

If there's a way we can keep it a little bit quieter in council chamber so we can conduct this meeting, we'd appreciate it.

Okay, go ahead.

All matters listed under the consent agenda will be considered by Mass Transit Department Board to be routine and will be enacted by one motion unless separate discussion is requested by board members.

Prior to the vote, members of the audience may ask questions regarding items on the consent agenda.

When the vote has been taken, if an item has not been called out for separate discussion, the item has been approved.

The Mass Transit Department Board meeting may, however, be considered any item at any time during the meeting.

And we do have items one and two and three on the consent agenda.

And item one, there's a request to revise.

It should read that the mass transit department board meeting minutes of July 22nd, 2025 instead of June.

Got it.

Or is there a motion to approve the approval?

Okay.

All right, Representative Chavez.

I was just gonna read it into the record, but thank you.

Okay.

Thank you, ma'am.

Okay.

And who seconded?

Is there a second?

Thank you.

Okay.

Call for the vote.

Yes, sir.

And we do have a motion made by board member Limon, seconded by board member Fierro.

I mean Niño.

And this is to approve the consent agenda as revised.

And I do note that board member Boyar Trejo just joined the meeting at 11:58 a.m.

Voting has closed, and the item has been approved unanimously.

With board members Rocha.

He didn't he didn't do the okay.

Board member Acevedo.

Sorry, it didn't come up.

Um okay.

So the item has been approved unanimously, and this is with board member Maldonado Rocha and Fierro not present for the vote.

Okay.

Let's take the regular agenda items.

Item number four.

Is discussion and action on the request that the director of purchasing and strategic sourcing be authorized to issue purchase order for solicitation 2025-0498, new flyer training to new flyer of America Incorporated, the sole provider of new flyer bus training for a three-year term and for a total estimated amount of 354,375.

I move to approve.

There's a motion and a second.

Any discussion on the representative canales?

Just a quick question for the department.

Uh more for my own curiosity.

Is are these is this an ongoing training program that's in person or is it a digital training?

It's a combination of in-person and then they supply various modules.

So like the air conditioning module, they'll have it set up in our training room, and we'll be able to work independent of new flyer.

Okay, and it's the trainer and then the materials coming to us.

Yes.

Okay, thank you.

Thanks, Mayor.

Okay.

We have a motion in the second to approve agenda item number four.
