Potential but it needs bodies to react to the information. So what happened when we moved to the Transportation Management center and the new radio, we were running a call centre. An emergency or incident would come in the controllers would industrial on a piece of paper the key concern, they would dispatch somebody to respond to it. Our goal was to go from a call center to a Service Management center. But a few things happened. The first thing is the call volumes increased. This is very good news. It means it is now easier with the technology for our operatorses to reach the control sent center and to be able to ask for help and support. The second thing is the time for call increased. We now have the ability to track all this information digitally. But the Digital Information takes more time to enter than just scribbling on a piece of paper.

Legitimate concerns about this project. Personally i would absolutely favor looking into evening matters, metering spots that arent metered right now and speak directly to the businesses.

But lets found out specifically what her business and the other affected businesses need and try to manage that. Finally, theres been some discussion about the length of the pilot. I would like to ask you to right now is there any serious downside to making this a ninemonth or 1246 month pilot. I realize 12month pilot. I realize we want to go through different life cycles, different conditions so we know that the safest is for cyclists and others but it seems to me that nine months or 12

Retire the colors. Chaplain nordan will now offer the invocation. Would you bow with me in prayer . Eternal god, we gather here on this sacred ground to pause, reflect, and remember the 129 crew members of the United States ship thresher. They served their country in the height of the cold war and were fully prepared to do whatever called upon to defend our nation, be it above or below the seas. The tragic loss felt on that april day of 1963 still stings our hearts. But we are also thankful that out of this tragedy, much good has come through the establishment of the sub safe program, our nation has the strongest and safest submarine force in history. This assurance of safety has been secured by those who gave their lives while onboard the thresher. We thank you for those gathered here this day who have worked tirelessly to ensure that those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our nation are never to be forgotten. Continue to bless their efforts. For the family members,
