40:39

Okay, unfortunately, we don't have a quorum, so we can't act on business tonight.

40:46

We're free to listen to any comments people may have, but we can't

Speaker 2

40:50

act on those comments.

Speaker 1

40:52

Uh

Unassigned speaker

40:54

want

Speaker 1

40:55

to thank boys and girls club for being here tonight, and then we apologize for not having a quorum to be able to listen to your report.

41:03

Uh, anybody have anything else?

Speaker 2

41:09

Um just that we are uh prepared to host a public hearing uh for a park naming in um the campus parkway development by Lenar Holmes on November 3rd.

41:23

Uh I believe that's the evening, 5 30, same time.

41:27

Um, so we will poll the commission and see if we have an anticipated quorum for that and um broaden that to a special meeting instead of just a public hearing, and we'll go over tonight's items as part of

Unassigned speaker

41:40

that

Speaker 2

41:40

agenda.

Speaker 1

41:45

Okay, as I announced last meeting, uh Quantas Club Merced Foundation has uh agreed to donate $1,000 to parks and community services to provide one diaper changing station in one of the parks of their choice.

42:03

Here goes the check.

42:05

It's flying, not bouncing.

42:11

Uh that's unfortunate.

42:14

That's about what we have.

42:16

Uh we were gonna consider uh the November December meetings.

42:23

Uh traditionally the commission doesn't meet November, December.

42:27

November meeting is usually Thanksgiving week, and the December meeting is more than likely during uh Christmas week.

42:35

Bodies are a little hard to find.

42:38

Uh, did receive a flyer in the mail today from the county about the veterans day parade, November 11th.

42:46

Ceremony at one at Bob Hart Square.

42:49

Parade kicks off at 12.

42:50

Uh at two, rather.

42:53

Uh, that's all I had for things that I've

Unassigned speaker

42:57

been

Speaker 1

42:57

doing.

42:58

Delicate to admit to

Speaker 4

43:01

I just want to share that the uh Measure K C V O C for Weaver District is looking for

Unassigned speaker

43:09

uh

Speaker 4

43:10

to fill two roles, one for a taxpayer association and another for senior citizen.

43:15

So if anybody knows anybody or is interested, you guys can reach out to the Weaver District Office.

Speaker 1

43:28

Okay, it seems like uh the only thing left on the agenda actually would be adjournment.

43:35

Um, since we didn't have a quorum to take any action, we can't have a motion and a second to adjourn.

Unassigned speaker

43:42

But

Speaker 1

43:42

technically as long as it's listed on the agenda, we just adjourn.
