That's the way we used to do it in the legislature.

0:11

Why can't we do that?

0:13

Why can't you start as a subcommittee?

0:16

I'm gonna look at Mindy.

0:18

2:23

What is it every uh once a month?

2:28

So yes, before you you have two meetings a month, or a couple days that you have Thursday meetings, one in August, one in November, and there'll be one that month.

2:39

So um January we have two, February, March, there's um February, March and April there's one meeting a month, May we have two, and then we go back to one a month.

2:51

I think uh if Mayor's okay.

2:54

Uh I think the August and November Thursday meetings coincide with election day and national night out, right?

2:59

So everything shifted to Thursday.

3:01

That's not unique to this committee.

3:02

That's correct.

3:11

We will adjust.

3:13

There's probably one in June also.

3:16

Yeah, I have no meetings in June.
