Uh the let's see, but it's the the March 5th edition, Fitchburg's Parks Commission. Uh 601. Um so to start with, uh we have approval of the minutes for February for last month or February. Um before we move on that, we do have a citizen registered speak. Patrick Cheney from Triperley Hills coming up, Patrick. Um so there's two versions of the minutes of the February meeting. The better one is in your packet because the other one that is actually posted with the line for the February meetings, that one is not as good. Uh, this one here is better because it has members present, colon, and then it lists the specific members of the park commission, which I think is the better way to do this, and then other people, whether they're presenters or commenters or whoever are listed as others present, including city staff. Uh and I think that distinguishes who are the actual members who count towards a quorum, who are eligible to vote. So that's specifically the residents appointed and the alder who is assigned to this, the seven people who count that way. Uh and for the casual reader who looks at the minutes, it that helps a lot to see okay how many were there, and you need to start counting votes or such like this. Otherwise, the other version, the previous version, and the one that's listed actually on the line for the February minutes, uh, just has everybody together, and then how do you know who's a member and who's not? Um this commission does not take a roll at the beginning or announce if there's a quorum like the council does, you just kind of look around and count, and yeah, we're ready to go. Uh so this is better to have it members present. Now, some other things that I see in here that I want to go through. Uh on number four, adoption of the agenda, which is typically standardly called uh review and approve the agenda, and it says that in this tonight's agenda again. Some different wording used there. Uh, this does not mention or note if this passed or not. And then in uh number five D, uh a resolution, and there's a motion to amend it does not say if it passed or not. And then another motion to approve the resolution, it does not say if it passed or not. Also in 5D. It lists uh public comments colon and two people spoke on that. And then back to 5A, a different topic. It lists public comments colon and three people talked on that. So the odd thing about others present back at the top there again. It lists those two people who
