All right. Good evening, everyone. I want to welcome you to the February 10th, 2025 meeting of the Sacramento Regional Transit Board of Directors. Tabitha, would you please do the roll call and read the Metro Cable statement as well.

Time allowed for public comment is at the chair's discretion and the timer will chime when you have 20 seconds and then again when your time is up, there was no written public comment received for today's meeting.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Okay, we will now move to our next agenda item, which is the pledge of allegiance and I've asked director from Rancho Codova Linda Budge to lead us in the pledge.

I'm going to ask director Scott Moog that his job is not in jeopardy.

Okay, with that, I'd like to ask director questions, comments at this time.

Or consent calendar items 2.1 to 2.8. Yes.

I will move approval of the consent calendar. I have a question on 2.4 and I need to recuse myself on 2.7.

Anyone else? Do you want to move the balance of the calendar? Do you want to answer those questions? Let's answer the question on 2.4.

Okay, 2.4 resolution 202502011 authorizing the execution of the amendment for the low carbon transit operations program for the smart ride micro transit project and Laura ham is here to answer any questions.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just wondered whether there had been any kind of report done on on the micro transit service.

We did provide a comprehensive report on smart ride to the board when we proposed restructuring the program to the new sac R T flex service. So this, this action is repurposing funds that were originally awarded to smart ride under the LC top program to other services that are already funded under LC talk.

I got that part. If you could provide me a copy of the report, I would appreciate that.

Absolutely.

And then I should say that I'm recreasing myself an item 7 or 2.7.

Thank you.

I did a campaign contribution made from a council 5057 in September of 2024 in an amount exceeding $250.

And I will move approval of the consent calendar with the exception of item 2.7.

And moved in seconded it all in favor say aye.

I pose abstain.

The direct to show we are unanimous with the exception of member Dickinson.

Who has officially abstained. I will say that for the record.

Okay. We will now address any items from the public at this time. Do you have any from public?

I have a lawyer.

And then Jeffrey Tartigia.

I recently had a experience with the little rider train.

I was at the Jensen Dell light rail station when the train pulled in. He opened the doors automatically.

And I was from from here to the end of this table from the door.

By the time I got to the door, he closed the doors and took off.

I had to wait for the next train. When the next train came up, he opened the doors automatically.

I went this time I was closer to the door. I pushed the button under door. The door closed and the ramp came out.

And started to open. I prayed to close the doors and pulled the ramp in and took off.

Left me stranded them waiting for another train.

Open the door automatically and they don't even open very long and they take off again.

They don't wait long enough for the.

I just want to get on board.

Okay, I said my piece to you now.

Thank you. We'll have someone to meet with him so we can discuss this and we'll get into this further.

Okay. So one someone from our staff from RT will be in touch with you sir.

We're sorry for your experience.

I'm sorry for your experience.

And we're sorry for your experience.

An abdicate.

Yes, I brought Ken from the experience that had this last week since we last board meeting.

I think I told him that I was going to have more officers on Saturday and Sunday, monitoring the low floor vehicles.

I would suggest that look at as we ride I took today after three o'clock.

There was a TA there explaining why we were slowed down again.

I was wondering who we're having another seventh street.

Car incident that was preventing a block. I've been in twice now where seven street has been out far enough that it's blocked a couple of trains going through there.

I know I'll talk with Henry further about the other experiences going on with light rail.

I do hope Rick that you do form soon that task force to look at all the problems.

I'm hearing about the problems where the tuning of the horns, you know, going on there creating disturbances that writers and others don't like also having to make the adjustments to get into the vehicle.

And blind person can't see whether it's crowded inside or not to know which door to go through on there.

And the two of us were there and it was very difficult for anybody to get in between us to go in the rest of the train.

There are definite flaws for that less than, I think it's 20s eight people on each side that is allowed to set.

It needs to be examined further and I hope Rick again you get to see what the globe light rail station of how accessible it turns out to be for both SETA and the dog and your other operations through there.

I do want to firmly reiterate that I believe a 3D printer would be very helpful.

So you have physically what's going on there and what's your plans are going on there.

It didn't happen at the 7th street location.

65th was put together and that wasn't what you built and other locations have similar issues through there.

And the 45 inches is a critical issue for dealing with the Zinfin Dale and 65th street.
