CHAIRMAN’S REMARKS. Chairman Lhota noted that on August 8, 2018 MTA staff members are planning to be at the New York Building Congress to discuss ways in which the MTA is committed to improving its construction practices. The Chairman stated that further updates will be provided to the Board with respect to this initiative. Chairman Lhota announced that later in the meeting Robert Foran, Chief Financial Officer, will present the four-year Financial Plan and a Preliminary Budget, which will be updated in November as the basis for a final proposed budget, and presented to the Board for approval in December. Chairman Lhota noted that the update relates to the operating budget and does not address the Capital Plan or the agency’s need for capital funding. The Chairman noted that while the operating budget is balanced this year and next year, there are operating budget gaps in the forecast for future years, and the gaps in future operating budgets reveal a clear and urgent need for new and consistent revenue sources. In addition, Chairman Lhota stated that MTA will require billions of dollars in annual revenue to fund future capital plans. In this respect, Chairman Lhota stated that he encourages the beginning of a more robust conversation and decision making about new revenue sources, including congestion pricing, as a solution to MTA’s financing needs. Chairman Lhota provided an update on the condition of the MTA employee who was shot on a subway train last week. Chairman Lhota stated that he and President Byford visited with the employee at the hospital shortly following the shooting and the Chairman reported that the employee is on his
