I'm going to be providing an update on some of our activities. So the main areas I'll be touching on today are e-bike safety and then a couple of our active individual projects, Move OC, Next Step, our Outreach and Education Project, and OC Connect. So first I wanted to touch on a status update for our e- bike safety efforts. We completed our e-bike safety action plan in 2024 and moved into implementation where we formed three strategy area groups and a steering committee. We have been doing a variety of those activities, which I 've presented to the committee a couple of times over the last year. In June of this year, the Orange County District Attorney held a workshop bringing together both kind of stakeholders from, that I work with as well as Orange County Health Care Agency and their Injury Prevention Collaborative to discuss basically creating a broad county-wide framework for e-bike safety. And our work with the e-bike safety action plan and then our framework for implementation were identified as potential avenues for kind of broadening the approach beyond what OCTA's pur view would normally be. And so we've kind of, we've broadened our approach, we've broadened the stakeholders that we invite into our meetings , and then our goals kind of reflect that where we've added in identifying additional actions beyond OCTA's purview. So these aren't things that OCTA would necessarily be taking action on, but we do have a robust coordination framework already established that …

Welcome to the OCTA board meeting for September 14th. Please rise and join Director Tedamer for the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you very much. Thank you. Councilor, I understand we have no closed session items today. There's no special calendar items, so we can get right down to business. The consent calendar are items number 1 through 10. Are there any, Madam Clerk, to be pulled by the public? Yes, Mr. Chair. Peter Warner commenting on 5, 6, and 10. We can take those all at once. Okay. There's a motion on the consent calendar. Hold on. Item 4 to be pulled. And I have a comment on item 8. Okay. We have a motion and a second on the balance. Let's take the, let's just take the general public comment from Mr. Warner. Or not. Let's move on. How about the comment on item 8? Yes, item 8 is a call to release the programs for the call for projects for project O and F. I am in favor of A, B, and C, but recommendation D is to make the changes for the programs retroactive to previously awarded grants. And I felt, feel that's inappropriate to retroactively change the rules. So, that's why I voted no at the committee meeting and I'll be voting no on this item today. Thank you. Understood. So, it looks like Mr. Warner is here. So, before we vote on the balance, let's let Mr. Warner comment on those. What items are those again, Madam Clerk? 5, 6, and 10. Mr. Warner, items 5, 6, and 10. Go ahead. Hi. I'd like to suggest again that at Beach and Orange, we had a stop there for the 553. There's …

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the August 20th Finance and Administration Committee meeting. Today, we have no closed session, and we'll start with our special calendar. Item number one, the taxable sales forecast from the Cal State University of Fullerton. Please, Mr. Oftoli. Thank you, Chair Hennessy, members of the committee, Andy Oftoli, Chief Financial Officer here at OCTA. It's my pleasure to introduce Dr. Anil Puri from Cal State Fullerton, who will be providing a sales tax forecast. As you know, we get forecasts each year from three different universities. You've heard from the other two, so I already advised Dr. Puri that he's going to be compared to two other presentations that have already occurred. But just as a brief introduction, Dr. Puri, he currently serves as the director of the Woods Center for Economic Analysis and Forecasting at Cal State Fullerton. The center produces economic reports and forecasts that are widely used by business and public leaders. And he's also the director of the Wood Center for Economic Analysis and Forecasting at Cal State Fullerton. He has previously served as provost and vice president for academic affairs, dean of the College of Business and Economics, and chair of the economics department at Cal State Fullerton. I was talking to Dr. Puri beforehand. We're pretty sure that he's been doing this for more than 20 years now here at OCTA. He's the dean of our forecasters. And if there's no additional questions, we'll turn it o …

Place your hand over your heart and say with me, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right, we have no closed session items. We have a special calendar, item one, our conference call with State Legislative Advocate Maureen Red Tope. And is Ms. Tope on the line? Good morning. Good morning, sir. We've got a new format, so can you hear me? Oh, we can hear you. We can't see you. Is that expected? There we are. Okay, now we can see you. Okay. All right. Well, thanks for bearing with us on the technical details here. Good morning from Sacramento. The legislature came back from its month-long July recess at the beginning of August for the final four weeks of the federal legislature. The legislative session, and, of course, four weeks in legislative time is like four months at the end of session. Lots and lots of things can happen and are happening. The legislature does have until August 31st to conclude its business for the year. As we do every year, we'll go to and probably past midnight that night working on the hundreds of bills. There are several hundred bills. In both the Assembly and the Senate pending for final votes in the Houses. Also want to note, just from a calendar perspective, tomorrow is the final day to amend bills on the floor. But, of course, rule waivers and other maneuvering means that they can certainly amend through next …

So I feel very honored to share all my knowledge with this very important committee in the M2 projects. So thank you. Welcome. And I see Mr. Jackson is not here. Do we...

And nothing on the special calendar, which brings us into the consent calendar, item 1 through 4. All matters on the consent calendar are to be approved in one motion, unless polled by a committee member or a member of the public. Have we had anybody from the public, either online or in person? To comment in real time, select raise hand to speak or press star 9 if calling by phone. Seeing none. Okay, thank you very much. Colleagues, anybody want to pull anything from the consent? I'll move the consent calendar. Second. Okay, we have a motion and a second to prove the consent. Any opposition? Any abstentions? Seeing none. That is approved. Mr. Chairman, may I make one suggestion? Yes, please. We are expecting Director Foley, and I think you're aware she has an interest, of course, in the coastal rail, so maybe we can take item 6 before item 5, if it's okay with the committee.
