BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
JULY 26, 2019/PAGE 2
as a result, the District should fund the ATU pension. He noted that in the FY 19/20 Proposed
Budget, Bus Division’s actual expenses for salaries and benefits were less than budgeted. He
stated that the District was trying to negotiate for no Bus Operator salary increases even though
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 3.85% over the last decade. He compared the District’s
transit fare and toll increases over the same period to the CPI.
Fred Harris, Marin County Resident, expressed his concern about the bus route changes
especially as they pertain to the Route 38 down Del Ganado in Terra Linda of San Rafael. He
requested the District reconsider a minor amendment to the proposed change to Route 38.
Manuel Gamboa, Sacramento County Resident, spoke in support of the Suicide Deterrent System
and he complimented the District on moving forward with the project. He mentioned missing the
June Board meeting and stated that it is his family’s intent to attend each meeting. He expressed
his appreciation for staff’s and the contractor’s hard work done on the SDS construction to date,
and said on a recent walk across the Bridge, he saw a number of net supports installed.
Damon Connolly, Marin County Supervisor, said he represents San Rafael and is also on the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission. He spoke about the proposed Northern Marin service
changes. He noted that staff made an effort to communicate the changes to the community, and
solicit input. He expressed his opinion that the resulting final proposal will serve riders, and be
efficient. He also said that he looks forward to continuing to work with the District in the future.

Board Administrators Seminar, Jacksonville, FL
Director Cochran outlined his attendance at the American Public Transportation Association
(APTA) 2019 Transit Board Members and Board Administrators Seminar, Jacksonville, FL from
July 20 to 23, 2019. He reviewed the main program themes and sessions that he attended
including: National and Grassroots Advocacy, Governance and Leadership, Changing Mobility
Landscape, Boards Role in Transit Safety and Security including the benefit of Safety
Management Systems, Cybersecurity Update with Security Director’s from the Transportation
Security Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation and APTA, and Grade Crossing
Problems.
Director Hill spoke about his attendance at the conference. He highlighted that there was robust
discussion on “Mobility as a Service.” He stated that he supports wide open public transit
systems. He asserted that most of the transit system innovations are from the private sector. He
said there are electric vehicle bills in 44 states. The APTA Chair commented about the increased
cost of private vehicle ownership, and that it could be cost prohibitive in the future. He talked
about a tour of the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center at LaVilla facility, which is under
construction, and how they are converting a monorail system into an autonomous vehicle system.
