Hey Jim, it's four thirty whenever you're ready. All right, we'll call the meeting to order. And the usual introduction here. Good afternoon, and thanks for joining us before we start the INC meeting. I'd like to remind folks of a couple of things to make it easier for you to follow along and make public comment.

Okay. There you go. Let's start with some introductions. Are there any board disclosures? Beth. My name is Beth Boyson. I'm disclosing that I'm married to a member of the legislature. I think any other disclosures. Are there any changes? No changes. No changes. Emily. Thank you. Um thing that I'll mention, and for those of you that may not know me, I am Jim Webster, Vice Chair for INC, and taking the meeting today for Emily Mason, Chair, who is not able to be here. So that's important just to give the public and the board a heads up on this item. And that really then should be the only change. And uh we will get into the approval of the minutes from August 13th. Anyone want to make a motion or have a question, comment about those minutes? Thank you. Is there any public comment in the room on the motion to approve the minutes? Stephanie, is there any public comment on online? Nothing online. Okay. Any discussion? All in favor. I'm all opposed. Okay. Motion passes. Okay, now public comments on non-agenda items falling within the purview and jurisdiction of the board.
