Us today. This resolution reflects the t. A. s concerns that up zoning will negatively impact transit by exacerbating existing crowding, increasing wear and tear on existing highcapacity transit lines, and subject transit operators to unforeseen costs.

We currently have a general order, 6. 03 which we are seeking to replace the prior general order, it goes back to at least 1999. There have been no revisions since then. If you review the prior general order, virtually none of it other than the concept of water applies today. The old system has virtually no its a page and a half where our divers used to use their own equipment. There was no real chain of command or any type of medical protocol. Ive been diving for over 30 years. Many of the years with the department. And i wish Something Like this would have been revised for all the time ive spent in the water.
