I believe there is one on homestead Okay, and is there an opportunity to make sure that VTA increases its shuttle services because we are adding close to 150 housing capacity on this strip that has not seen historically that level of density for public transit needs.

No, I got you. And the only reason was he was addressing a specific question you had. So I wanted to make sure you heard him with eye contact. Embarrassing and dismissive.

We have a fan club. That's another one. I'm waiting for Piro. Take that.

We have item two, which is the commissioner travel and training reports.

I move we approve retroactively funds for Commissioner Wang to attend the California IPA conference.
