We will start with Item 1, which is Items from Citizens Present. And I have one card from Mr. Blue Crowley. Mr. Crowley, good morning. 1. Items from Citizens Present Mr. Crowley said being that this is for the non-action items and -- or for not on the agenda and action, the thing I want to bring up to your attention and try to find out some VALLEY METRO • 101 N 1ST AVE • STE 1300 • PHOENIX AZ • 85003 • 602-262-7433 things about is the travel expenses and such. And what they did and how that comes back to the agency. You know, the account manager getting leadership training is a positive. And John going to the Washington, D.C., for the legislative conference. But as I was talking to Paul, where is our agenda, what was he doing, because he's just as much of a lobbyist, and what drum is he banging, or is it just there to find out what they're going to give and get and it doesn't matter what we're doing. And the general counsel going to Savannah, Georgia, for a legal affairs seminar. How does, you know, it help him, that's good for his own self, but what is it that that does for this agency. And if it's just to improve him and his legal abilities and that, why are we paying the dime. The safety and security director, I asked her in the hall did she go to Washington. And she went, she didn't go to D.C., but she did go to Washington State. Now I asked Paul, and I believe that's for a mandated thing, but if not, why are we sending her to Seattle to just observe their system or such, because this is here, that is there, and the seventeen different agencies that work on that one and the abilities of the Seattle system compared to us it's like we're on a tricycle and they do have actual locomotives. And marketing distribution signage assistant, a marketing conference. We only paid fifteen hundred, but that's the total, it's not, you know, just getting there and such, but what are we getting for it. And with that, I'll go to the next topic of non-agenda and that's the intermodal that you all aren't doing. I'd like to see a better commitment from any of your communities. Starting with Wickenburg, is there a reason they're not sitting at the table being that the elected does come to the table. And when you don't have one of you sitting there, how is it that things that are sensitive to them are done. And then the rest of you, we'll start with Mesa, 60 percent of your community has no transit. Do you want me to keep on going and point out that some, because you only consider the bus operations in your city that are actual bus routes -- how many of you have -- absolutely zero. I was one of the ones that put together the Prop 400 that was to get all of you together and with circulators. I wish that you would understand and get that done in your communities. I know you're not the electeds, but you're the ones that do get things done. 2.
