3 o'clock. We can go ahead and get started. I'm going to call today's meeting to order and we'll start off with an invocation if you guys don't mind. Thank you, Lord, for allowing us to gather together as members of this community and leaders of this county to discuss the transportation needs of our county, help guide us towards wisdom in the decisions that we make today. And we ask that you please keep everyone safe on all of the methods of transportation throughout the county. In your name we pray. Amen. Alright, thank you. No one signed up for public input today, but if there is anybody here that would like to speak on any of the issues on today's agenda, I'm happy to have them come up. All right. Hearing none, we'll remove we'll move on to the review and approval of the agenda contents. All in favor? Okay, that is approved. There is there were no minutes of the previous meeting because we just re-established this. So can we just dispense with that? Okay. Alright, then we'll move on to a discussion items. And the first one today will be ride program updates by Anna Barnham. Well, she's coming up, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to let you know what we are planning. If you want to do something, otherwise, uh, we would be glad to do that. But what we are going to do today is talk about the ride program as well as one question that Councilman Howard had from the previous INR committee. Now that we are going to bring forward to you uh updates from the engineering department public works, Coast RTA and RJ Worman. Uh some of those will be regular parts of our agenda. There are active projects going on in all of those departments. Uh the Coast RPA and RJ Warman will be more as needed, but they are planning to come uh soon. I would want to let you know that if you want the committee to do something otherwise, that's what we're planning. Okay. So thank you. Anna is our uh assistant ride program manager.
