We do have a quorum. This meeting is being held in pursuant to KRS 61.826 and the Council Rule 5A. We have very few appointments today. Some agenda item three will be held today.

So as you know, there are very specific seats on this board. The purpose of this board is to increase citizen involvement in the investigation and review of allegations of police misconduct within LMPD. It's also to guide and provide oversight to the independent Office of Inspector General in reviewing and investigating police conduct. Also to promote police accountability and reduce civilian uh complaints. There are 11 members on this board. They do serve a three-year term. They are appointed by the mayor uh with the approval of the council. Uh again, there are very specific seats. This particular uh seat again is a metro council uh nominee. Metro Council sub uh submits three uh three lists when there's uh open seats um of two names for the mayor to appoint one from each list. You only have one seat this time, so you guys sent the name over.
