Will open it up to any questions you may have. Thank you very much commander and chief for doing this presentation. Obviously this has been an issue that is in the forefront of the press and what is happening here in the city, and i want to say i have been talking to the chief about this for a few weeks and hes been keeping me apprize of what is happening and hes on top of it and he said earlier a lot of this stuff people just need to disloa slow down and its good advice and there is clearly a correlation between the number of incidents and staffing and i am glad staffing is on the rise thanks to the Mayors Office but in the interim it is possible for us to put more officers on the street doing traffic enforcement, not necessarily motorcycle officers but officers and patrol cars.

Barts got a problem in this community. Im hoping when all is said and done, we can get to a place where we are all talking to each other an listening to each other with more clarity and more insight and more respect. The Disability Community is broad, vast and the movement of folks with disabilities who sought independent disability rights started here in berkeley. I think one of the things that is not being stated clearly is process. Just on a personal note, several of us, myself included was part of the bart tours that took place at mcarthur station and one of the key flaws in the process, when i toured that car, i was told by the friendly guy who helped me fill out the is survey was that i can sit in the back of the car. When i was told that segregation was a thing of the past, he said i would get used to it. Thats a problem for me because civil rights and equal opportunity and inclusion are not about segregation, but its ....
