Cross_cutting

34:07 our Declaration of Independence warned us we may have to do. Is that what you want? Because this is about the only option you appear to leaving us with. Lord knows, we the people have been very clear about what you need to do to fix the problem. No light rail, no tolls. Fix the problem. Thank you. Thank you, Kurt. Do we have, Cindy, anybody online? Nobody online? Okay. Well, that closes our public comment and moves us to the consent items. Are there any items that we'd like to pull from the consent? Tim? Thank you, Chair. I'd like to pull item number four, the contract for executive coaching. Excellent. Pulling item number four, any other items that would like to be pulled? Okay.

34:58 Do I hear a motion to approve item one, item two, item three, item five, six, seven, eight? Do I hear a motion? Chair, I make a motion to approve the consent agenda with the addition of pulling item number four. Second. Any discussion? We have a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? And then opposed. We have item number four. Thank you, Chair. The only question I have on the contract for executive coaching is, I'd like to better understand what are the details involving that coaching. I see the dollar amount, I see a broad description of what is proposed, I'd like details on what

35:57 some of the specifics are for the team or the chief executive officer and how that aligns with the strategic priority. Now, point of clarification, would you like that tonight or would you like that in the future? If the CEO can provide an update on that tonight, just a few details, I don't personally, I don't need huge details, I'd just like a few key bullet points over what does that look like. Question? Thank you, Chair and thank you Director Tim Heine. So yes, with the consulting executive coach, recall that I initially started out with the Dr. Carroll as guidance for me stepping into CEO role. As we, if you recall, when I started, I did a review and took a step back and asked for

36:52 everyone to take a moment to reflect, review and reset and it became apparent that with the executive team, we needed some cohesiveness and we needed to be ready, I needed to be ready to lead with confidence and make an understanding of what the executive team needed for me as a leader and what I needed from them. So as we grew and started the program, we've done great strengths of creating cross-functional alignment, we've done cohesiveness work together through the coaching for me, I've become more intentional about how I've led and make decisions and account and help and having accountability, which was a big staple for me for creating that foundation within the executive team as we move forward. I learned that I've had to become a visionary, strategize, be more intentional about how I lead and get out of the weeds of used to being in the operations sector.

37:52 So had to learn to take a step back, let my COO take over with that and be able to guide them and be more strategic in what our decisions are making. We've been able to establish a people for leadership approach and ground our core values that you see in our packet and that we've been utilizing and using that as something not to just check a box, but to become part of how we lead and operate every day. There's also greater clarity and stronger accountability and better alignment within our leadership level. And so we're looking to expand on that and be able to apply those, our practices within everyone's department from their direct reports on down through management. Next steps, we're looking to continue the work.

38:50 This contract also would encompass our board workshop that we're going to have on the fifth. She would be leading that as well. I think that's an opportunity for her to see as a cohesiveness for executive team to be working together on something together, overall arching for the C-TRAN board and for the board members to see how we work together with her as well. And so through this, I feel like it's just strengthened our leadership capacity and directly supports our long-term organizational effectiveness throughout the agency and also create retention and be able to prepare for future for pipeline filling and being able to have a good foundation to build on. Hopefully that answers your question.

39:46 Any other discussion? Do I hear a motion for item number four? Chair, I make a motion to approve consent agenda item number four. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Not seeing any, we'll move to a vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. Now, moving on to presentations. And first up, we have C-TRAN citizen advisory committee CCAC update staff report 26-013. Good evening, chair members of the board. My name is Mike McQueen.
