I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands,

one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. May be seated.

All right. I'm going to take some personal privilege as the chair and ask that we do

introductions because we have some new members of our commission and I want to make sure that

they're welcome. So I will start all the way to the left. My name is Sochi Milko Salazar. I've been

Hi. I'm Karen Korbs and this is only my second meeting, so we're all in the same boat here,

but I'm looking forward to working with everyone. So thank you.

Good evening. I'm John Johnson, District 2 and I'm one of the resident pastors in the

and just so delightful to see you all and welcome you all to the commission.

Hello everyone. Jason Sample representing District 1. I've been on the commission now

Audrelle Anderson. I'm your deputy city attorney and I don't know how long I've been

but I've enjoyed working with you all and I'm looking forward to getting to know our new members.

The whole room. Welcome. I am Cecilia Ventres. I go by CeCe as well. I'm also in the city clerk's

office. You'll see me time to time clerk other commission meetings. Welcome.

Good evening. I'm Jeff Cherache. I work for the police department currently assigned to our

professional standards unit and I get to work for my boss, Clay Buchanan.

I have an announcement myself if I could do, chair. Jeff has just got promoted to captain.

So congratulations to you, Jeff. Well, it's official April 19th, but he got told he's getting

promoted. So we'll be losing Jeff in my division. He'll be going to the south station. So

free people live in the south area. He'll be your captain there and he's going to do a fantastic

job. I'm Clay Buchanan. I'm a captain over admin services, which does policy, compliance, transparency,

government affairs, and liaison with our IT division. So welcome. Look forward to working with all you guys.

All right. Thank you, everybody. Our first business today is public comments matters

not on the agenda. As a reminder for the public, you will have five minutes to speak on them.

Clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to speak on public comments matters not on the

agenda? Thank you, chair. I have no speaker slips for matters not on the agenda.

That's nice. Our next business today is approval of the consent calendar.

As a reminder for the public, you have five minutes to speak on these items.

Clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to speak on the consent calendar?

Thank you, chair. I do not have any speaker slips for the consent calendar.

Thank you. Are there any commissioners who wish to speak on the consent calendar?

All right. Hearing none. Is there a motion and a second for the consent calendar?

I'll move approval on the consent. Second. All right. It's been motioned by commissioner

sample and seconded by commissioner Johnson. Will clerk please call the roll for the vote.

Thank you, chair. Members, please unmute your microphones.

Commissioner sample. Aye. Commissioner Johnson. Aye. Commissioner Corbs. Aye. Vice Chair Buen-Rostro.

Aye. Commissioner Griggs. Aye. Commissioner Lewis. Aye. Commissioner Brookings. Aye.

Commissioner Salazar. Aye. And chair Carter Martinez. Aye. Thank you. The motion passes.

Thank you commissioners and clerk. We will now proceed to the discussion calendar and I'm going

to take one more moment of personal privilege to talk about the discussion calendar. It is a

learning process to become chair of a commission and so there are a lot of timelines in place to

putting the agenda together that and forms and reports and things like that that go towards

putting the agenda together. I've now learned them. So next month's meeting will be much more robust

than this month's meeting, but we tonight's meeting will be a little bit on the shorter side because

of the kind of behind the scenes work that goes into putting the agenda together and the time you

need to get speakers to come in that type of thing. So as I said, first meeting needs some grace.

Thank you. All right. So agenda item, item number two is the report back from the April 8th,

2025 city council meeting. There is not a staff presentation for this item. I think myself and

vice chair Buen Rostro will be talking about it.

So on April 8th, 2025, the city council met and they had a little discussion on our work plan

and our annual report on our work plan for 2025 and our annual report for 2024.

And the short of it is they were both passed. So our work plan has been passed and we are free to

now go forward and do some of the work that we have planned for 2025. The report was also passed.

There was not discussion on it. They did it on consent. So there was a little, a few people that

gave public comment in support of both of these items and not much discussion on the dais because

it was pulled and put into consent. So that is kind of the quick of it. Vice chair Buen Rostro,

do you want to add anything? The only thing I'll add is that now that the work plan is passed,

we can start moving on that. But I would encourage commissioners to take a look at the annual report.

Specifically, I would say the aspects of it that are more actionable would be the recommendations

within it. Just making sure that we know the recommendations that were proposed in that report

through 2024. And just making sure that we, and this might be a work of one of the ad hocs in

the next item, but making sure that we elevate the recommendations that we think are more important

for city council to consider and for the department to consider. And we will be discussing the ad

hoc committees tonight. So we'll be able to put those, make a connection between those and the

work plan and the report. We will now turn it over, oh yes, we will now turn it over to public

comment. As a reminder for the public, you will have five minutes to speak on discussion calendar

items. Clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to speak on this item?

Thank you, chair. I do have one speaker slip on this item. Key on bliss.

Just wanted to congratulate the chair and vice chair again, especially for convening a new

commission. It is a new day and you all have now have the opportunity to finally dive into the work

plan that you that you all approved. I wanted to just lift up, you know, the need to really

encourage, just emphasize what chair Carter Martinez just named, which was taking a look at,

for those of you that are new to the commission and haven't maybe yet seen the detailed

recommendations that are put in there, but the 2024 recommendations are particularly

are particularly pressing, I would say in terms like one in particular being the audit of

Sacramento police departments over time policies, practices and procedures, just given the research

that was conducted over the course of not just last year, but also dovetailing from previous years

as well. And I know that some of you on the commission may have questions around that. Some

of you that are new and may not have gotten to see the report in full, but want to encourage you.

This is the space to really discuss and deliberate amongst that and want to encourage you to ask

or provide details on why, like any concerns you have with the current language of the annual report

to that was approved before and reach out to the chair and vice chair within those questions,

as well as to former commissioners, which me being a former commissioner, I'm happy to talk

through any of those and share any detailed notes and research analysis that I've conducted over

the course of that. So appreciate the current work that you all are doing and I will continue to be

here in support and continue to inform as best I can as a community member. Thank you.

Chair, I have no more speaker slips on this item. Thank you. Are there any commissioners who wish to

speak on this item? Commissioner Buen-Mosch-Troep. I'm sorry, Vice Chair Buen-Mosch-Troep.

That's okay. So just one note from the meeting. While it's great that the city council passed

it on consent and that's what they have done with all of the work plans and reports from other

commissions, it's nothing special to this commission. I think something that we discussed last year that

we would like to see in the future is that when we present our reports and work plan in future

meetings, we would love the opportunity to maybe summarize those recommendations and the

contents of those reports to the council just to have more transparency and have the body

have a little bit more time to digest the information within them. So again, this is not

something that our commission was treated differently on, but it's something that as a commission that

does put forward recommendations every year, hopefully next year when we do this again next year,

hopefully there'll be more time to do that. So that's work that we have to do with the council

and the clerk just to make sure that we get a little bit more time to discuss those recommendations.

Thank you. Would any other commissioners like to comment on this item?

All right. This item is received in file, so no vote is required. We will move on to the next item.

Item number three is ad hoc committees for 2025 work plan.

The recommendation is that we will discuss ad hoc committees for the Sacramento Community

Police Review Commission's 2025 work plan and their composition. The chair may create an ad

hoc committee for the commission and appoint commissioners to that committee. So my hope here

is that we can have a discussion as commissioners as to what committees do we need to create or

what committee do we need to create and what the work of that committee will be, and then hopefully

we will get volunteers for the committee. So our work plan cannot be done in this environment on

this day. We have to do it through a committee that's probably the most crucial work that we need to

get done through the ad hoc committees. I'm sorry, not our work plan, our annual report and our work

plan. So that's probably the most crucial committee we need to put together is one that is able to

work on the annual report and recommendations. And I'm hoping that people have an interest in

participating in that. I'd like to open it up to commissioners to have a discussion on what committees

the group thinks are important and what work we want to get done through them. So I will take

a public comment. As a reminder for the public, you will have five minutes to speak on discussion

calendar items. Clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to speak on this item?

Thank you, chair. I have no speaker slips on this item.

All right. Are there any commissioners who wish to speak on this item?

All right. Commissioner Lewis.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So I'm looking at the 2025 goals and I see that there are

four listed under the goals. Are you looking to create four committees for each goal? And then

they will kind of delineate within each committee, which ideally section they would. Okay. That was

my question. Thank you. Commissioner, vice chair, Blaine Roestrow.

Thank you. So if you look at the later pages of the work plan, so if you look at page three,

we delineate policy focus areas. And one of the, I think one of the outlines of the report is that

each of these policy focus areas would end up being a work plan. We don't have to do it that way

precisely. So it could be that some of these are split up into two, but I just want to set that up

as a starting point for the discussion. So if I can just go over what those policy focus areas are

and the goals under them, then we can think about whether it still makes sense to keep that as one

ad hoc or if we want to separate them into multiple ad hoc. So for the first policy focus area,

the goals for this one would be, well, the main theme for this one would be to work on the

commission's engagement and function and improve the function of the commission. So the goals would

include clarifying the purpose, powers and duties of the commission, improving the inner

workings of the commission, improving the relationship and cooperation between the commission,

Sacramento police department, office of public safety and accountability and city council,

establish an onboarding and professional learning plan for commissioners,

presenting 2024 recommendations to city council by the end of the second quarter of 2025,

work with the city council to establish a clear and consistent process for reviewing

annual recommendations moving forward, and lastly determining which outstanding previous year

recommendations from 2021, 2022 and 2023 to prioritize and or update for city council

and to put those forward as new 2026 recommendations. So as you remember last year,

we decided to get rid of the backlog, essentially all of the previous year recommendations,

actually let me reframe it, we decided to put aside the backlog, not get rid of it,

and put those forward to this year's commission to relook at those recommendations that hadn't

been moved forward and figure out which of them we do want to move forward.

As new 2026 recommendations for the sorry, as new 2025 recommendations for the 2026 annual report.

So that's priority area A, that could potentially be an ad hoc that focuses on all of those different

areas. Policy focus area B, which could be a second ad hoc, is focused on community policing

and response efficiency. The three goals under this one would be to review

Sacramento Police Department policies, training and procedures related to community engagement

and public safety strategies, focused on drive safe Sacramento, homeless and mental health outreach,

LGBTQ plus outreach, and police youth services and programs. In addition, the second goal would

be to review and evaluate the efficiency of Sacramento Police Department's traffic safety

enforcement. And lastly, this would be the ad hoc that would be tasked with organizing

the community engagement meetings. So the community engagement meetings could focus on each of the

topics that we were mentioned in the first goal. In addition to the MEU, in addition to the military

equipment use policy engagement meeting that we do every year. And then lastly, the third policy

focus area would focus on resource allocation and efficiency. So there's two goals under this one.

Goal number one is to review and evaluate police department goals and key performance metrics to

measure the impacts to public safety. And then to provide recommendations to the commission

department and city council for future actions and policy changes related to improving public safety.

So those were the three focus areas slash ad hocs that were in the work plan last year. Again,

for each of the ad hocs, one of the goals that we want to have for them is for them to accomplish a

few things. So we want to empower that hocs to a few things. We want to make sure they're empowered

to propose and place items for discussion on the agenda. So as those discussions happen,

communicating with the chair on what additional items we want to put forward, these ad hocs could

actually do presentations to this full commission on the items that they're working on. We want all

the ad hocs to also deliver presentations to the commission. I just said that repetitive. The third

goal is to perform outreach. So as they're working on those topics, making sure that they do outreach

to different community members and agencies. Next, we want all of ad hocs to organize and

participate in stakeholder meetings and community forums. And then lastly, draft and synthesize

proposed recommendations. So I would just stop there. That's what we have in the work plan. Again,

we can change it. We can adapt it. But hopefully that's a starting point.

Thank you, Vice Chair Buen-Rostro. Commissioner Sample.

Thank you. No, I definitely appreciate the work that has gone into kind of, you know,

synchronizing this into those three key buckets. I think that that is perfect.

The questions that I kind of had is how many of us can sit in one ad hoc? So is there, I take it,

there is a number that we can't go over? Less than a quorum. Okay. So that was kind of one. The

second would be, and this probably goes a little bit to the chair's discussion earlier, how would

we go about advancing things to the agenda then? Are we going to kind of have a procedure or is

there a staff? What's the, what would be the process for that? I think that would be helpful to

define. And then finally, just as an area of interest and a weird way that I put things together in my

brain, I would love to be a part of the ad hoc for policy focus area A. Coming on as a new commissioner

two and a half years ago, I think the onboarding was something that I would have definitely loved to

have had instead of drinking from a fire hydrant, you know, building the plane while we flew it.

So I would love to kind of give some, some feedback and input and have done some research into what

others have done. Okay. So what I've learned in through the process of creating this month's agenda

is that it takes almost three weeks to put the, like to get the agenda ready. So we will meet the

Monday after the commission meeting and work on the first draft of the agenda with Audrey L and

Chair Buen Roe Strow. So I would encourage and invite commissioners if you're interested in

having a spot on the agenda and you have an item, either your ad hoc work group wants to put on

there or something, some other business that's relevant to the commission, let me know by the

Monday after our commission meeting and we can get it on there. And thank you for volunteering for

one of the committees. I think that's great. I'd love to ask if other folks want to volunteer for

any of the three subject areas that Vice Chair Buen Roe Strow pointed out and I will take comment

from Commissioner Lewis. I would like to volunteer for the policy focus area B. I am a veteran, I'm

a healthcare person in healthcare and I'm also a member of the LGBTQ plus community and I believe

that my talents and focus would be best served in that area. Excellent, thank you.

I myself am going to volunteer for the engagement and function committee policy focus area A.

I would like to volunteer for the outreach program review policy, that particular

ad hoc committee. Commissioner Espinosa Salazar, I'd like to volunteer for A as well.

Any other comments, questions volunteering from commissioners?

Oh yes, sure. Senator Brookins? Yeah, since everybody's volunteering, I'm volunteering.

For what, I don't know, but I'm available if any committee needs my expertise.

I'm available. Excellent.

And Commissioner Corb's? I would also, I got it, I would also like to volunteer for area A.

So how many people do we have for area A now? We have four.

Both of you, one, two. What did you? The outreach.

One, two.

Yep, okay. So how many is quorum? Quorum is six. Okay. Now what happens if we don't get

volunteers for some of the other areas? Then I'm gonna force you to do it.

Just kidding. If we don't have volunteers, then I guess the work will fall onto me.

Is that really what happens? Or it doesn't happen. Or it doesn't happen, yeah. Okay.

That's what I guess my question was gonna be, is that if we don't have enough, then

is it okay to only just work on the focus areas where we get enough volunteers?

And I know that's not ideal, but I think to be honest, because I'm the chair,

I'll probably work on all of them. So we do have at least two people up to four for each ad hoc

right now. And I see Vice Chair Buen Rojo, who is probably about to volunteer as well. So I think

we'll be okay. Okay. So do we have anybody for Area C yet? Who did? Yes, we have.

That's where I'm using my prerogative to assign Commissioner Brookings and myself. Okay. And

then for B was Commissioner Johnson and Commissioner Lewis. Okay. Sounds good.

Okay. Just, oh, am I near? Yeah, quick question. So this is also, I'm assuming this is not set

in stone. And also the other assumption that I have is that you can serve on two of these working

groups. So you're interested in multiple working groups, you're allowed to. That's my assumption,

please correct me if I'm wrong, as long as there's no more than six commissioners. So I was gonna say,

I'm, I was waiting because I can, I'm happy to work on any of the working groups where you need

people. So I'm interested in B, but I'm also happy to work on C as well. So that Commissioner

Brooks is not alone and he has somebody to talk to about these important, important issues.

All right. Why don't we do that? Commissioner Lewis, do you have a question?

Myself? Yes.

What was that? Oh yeah, I was gonna say that was my question. I was gonna ask that and then

offer to help on, at how committee C as well. Oh, great. All right, Commissioner Korbs.

So sorry. So focus area B is going to be the, the group that's going to be

tasked with doing the community meetings. And they can have a quorum for that, but then

members of the commission can still show up to the meeting, just not be part of the panel or so

forth. That's correct, right? For the community meetings? Yes. Yes. Okay. So just making sure about

that. Okay. Audrey, I'll do you want to, I didn't know if Jacob was gonna jump on it. I believe it'd

be less, less than a quorum can participate. And then as it's a public meeting, they can, other

members may attend, but not run the meeting. Right. All right. And Commissioner Brookings.

I'm fine. Oh, you're good. Yeah. I'm C, right? Yes. Okay. I'm good.

Commissioner Korbs, do you have another? Oh, no. Okay.

Are they all empty? Okay. All right. So we have some volunteers. Commissioner Johnson.

Perfect.

All right. Looks great. I do have a, yeah, I will. I was gonna say, I have a question for

Audrey L. Am I able to send an email to the commission if they don't respond?

Saying, like outlining what people just signed up for. Oh, yes. Yes. Okay. All right. So I will do

that and I will also repeat it now. So what I have for volunteers are for a commissioner sample,

myself, commissioner, Espinosa Salazar and commissioner Korbs for B, we have one moment.

Can I interrupt? Sorry. Can you read out just for the record what a B and C and D are as well as

do the roster? Sure. Thank you so much. So commission, I'm sorry. Group A is engagement and function.

And that again is commissioner sample, myself, commissioner, Espinosa Salazar, commissioner

Korbs. B is community policing and response efficiency. That is commissioner Lewis, commissioner

Carter Martinez and commissioner, Buen Rostro and commissioner Johnson. And then the third is

resource allocation. That is commissioner Brookings, commissioner Buen Rostro, commissioner Lewis and

commissioner Johnson. All right. I have to say when it's your first meeting, it feels good when

people volunteer for things. So thank you very much. All right. Any other questions or comments?

Commissioner Lewis, I have a question on the admin side of this and forgive me because I'm not quite

sure how this works. Documentation, communication, sending out like you said emails and stuff.

Do we have someone assigned to us as a commission that helps us with that or is it

you're doing that all by yourself? Yeah, we do not have a staff person assigned to our commission,

so that falls on me to do. I have requested one. Yes. I've requested one and a few other folks have

as well. So we'll see if we get one. I think it's been a longstanding issue that the commission

doesn't have a staff person. All right. So this item is received in file, so NOVO is required. We

will not move on to the next item. We will talk to commissioner. Quick question, quick question,

just so that we understand. So we are allowed to send emails to folks in the ad hoc and communicate

with each other as long as we're not more than six people. Is that correct? So I just want to make

sure that we understand that we can still communicate by email as long as it's not everybody here.

Yes. And not more than a quorum. Yes. And yes, officer. I think this is this is great moving

forward. I'm curious and maybe we could talk about it how we're they're going to get facts and

information that they need from us because a lot of times you get this like you're looking for facts

and we know right where they are. And so like being a conduit and a liaison for you guys is

something we want to do. So I just want to know like maybe we were telling like the bi biweekly is

maybe every other biweekly we could give to an ad hoc committee to get the information from the team

that they need. I just want to make sure that we have that in some place because I don't want

like an email coming in asking for so much information and such a little time to make

like there's not a success to be a chance there. So it'll be a successful. So maybe that's something

you guys could discuss and how you want to liaison with us to get what you need to to get through

your project because a lot of stuff's going to be the policies right there open but like there

might be questions you have about those and regarding them where we could be we could be a

help there. So I just want to offer our assistance in that function and just maybe if there's a

solidified way to do that that'd be great. Fair enough. I would say off the cuff it probably

makes sense for each ad hoc committee to have a point person and the point persons in the chair

meet once once a month before the meeting and that's the conduit to reach out to the police

department for any information or that type of thing. And that's not saying they can't reach

out individually and ask for questions. I mean that's just saying it's easier if we know what

we're doing and what we're working with logistically. So thank you. No problem and I think the other

direction that would go towards the ad hoc committees would be to in addition to choosing a

point person putting together a standing time to meet so that it's on people's calendars regularly

and the work is getting advanced. And I will have last call for comments on this subject if there

are any questions. Commissioner Corbs. So are we gonna do that tonight or we can. Oh okay. Just

want to know who I should reach out to. All right so let it let's do that tonight while

we're here and we have the time. So for ad hoc a engagement and function we have commissioner

sample myself Espinoza commissioner Espinoza Salazar and commissioner Corbs would someone

like to be the point person. Great thank you commissioners.

Without objection such will be the order. Thank I can do that. Thank you I appreciate it.

Ad hoc be community policing and response efficiency commissioner Lewis commissioner

Johnson myself and commissioner one rostra.

Commissioner Lewis would you like to volunteer to be the site person that

the. All right great and group C commissioner Brookings commissioner one rostro commissioners

Lewis commissioner Johnson and myself. We all know new people get well and told so

commissioner Brookings would you like to volunteer for to be the contact person.

I don't know if that's a good idea because I don't know what I'm doing.

Um that's fair I would say that these are these groups are new for all of us so

it would be for kind of each group to decide how they want to work together but the we can work

more closely with you if I share and I can meet with you one on one and talk you through the

the specific item that your group will be working on and help you figure out how to

be the contact person for the group if that works. Awesome

commissioner Corbs.

All right any last comments on this item. Yes commissioner Lewis is there a document with

everyone's calm contact information somewhere or we just I'm sorry I have a project management

I have a project management background and I'm just okay yeah yeah okay can we create that.

Yeah we can create that I will request it from the clerk's office

and I will email that out once I receive it as well as

remind people what the folks volunteered for great.

It might also be helpful for the clerk's office to know that everybody's okay with having their

information sent out to each other. Thank you Adriel appreciate that.

No objections. Any objections to your email being passed to the rest of the commission?

All good great okay any other comments or questions on this item?

Hearing none this item is received in file so no vote is required we will move on to the next item.

The next the next item on our agenda.

Item number four is community academy day. There is a presentation on this item.

All right good evening commissioners I'm happy to talk about community academy day. I'm Clay Buchanan

captain of the Sacramento Police Department. This day is meant for our community members

potential perspective recruits employees team members of the Sacramento Police Department

and others to get an inside look at our department. It's going to be held on Saturday May 17th from

8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lunch will be brought in with a long list of full activities for the day.

Some of the activities will include the demonstration from our K9 team,

interactive session with the chief of police and pastor Sadler, static display by several of our

units to include our air drone unit SWAT, EOD, explosive ordinance disposal, bikes, mounted,

motors, mobile instinct command will be out there, our records division, our dispatch division.

So it's a really a look at the department you don't see it's a look outside of patrol right so

you get to see everything that we operate with and everything that we have and kind of get a

walk through and a description from all the special units throughout there. Then there's going to be

a question and answer with a panel of patrol officers and detectives which I think is where

they give the community to ask the questions they have and to have our officers and detectives

answer those. A short classroom session by our Academy staff this will be discussed in the

Academy process in training this providing during our Academy to our officers so not just for future

teammates but for our community to understand what our officers are actually going through

in day-to-day basis in their Academy training. Then there's going to be a session where attendees

will be immersed in scenario-based training and that training will be related to patrol calls

and traffic stops. We have plenty of seats available still. I invite all of you guys out. The

Chief provided each one of you to come and attend. If you can't make the May 17th, bless you.

If the Chief can't make the if you can't make the May 17th there'll be one in the future

in the fall so there'll be another class this year that you guys could attend. To attend you

could email police underscore recruiting at spd.org or sacpd.org sorry or call 916-808-080 to apply.

You guys all have a flyer that the jaco passed out the clerk passed out to you so you have that

in front of you. Please attend. I think it's a good time out there. It's a different experience so

it's a short presentation because there's just one day of training so if there's any questions

I'll take them now. Are there any questions for the captain uh commissioner corpse?

I think so my apologies. It's taking place at the academy. Yeah 24-09 in D. Street.

Right yeah great commissioner griggs.

I would just like to back up what we just heard about this academy day. I had an opportunity to be

there. Had a great day I think that they have taken cage fighting out of the program is that correct sir?

Correct. That's a joke. You do get an opportunity to speak with the chief. You're with her for

like an hour and a half and it's no holes. She'll answer any questions. She is a very approachable

person and a great person to talk to and then also to talk to all the police officers and find out

some of the scenarios you do find out what police do during the day. It's a short session compared

to what they do and they're 26 weeks is that correct? Six months is it 24? 24 weeks. But it's

it's just a snippet of what they do but it the information that you get is is great and I really

highly suggest that all of you attend. Thank you. Are there any other

commissioner comments or questions on this item?

All right thank you captain Buchanan. Thank you and for the record we had no speaker slips on this

item from the public. All right the next item on the agenda is staff and commissioner comments

ideas questions and reports. Are there any commissioners who wish to speak?

All right hearing none.

One moment.

Yes that would be the public comment.

All right well this concludes today's agenda. Thank you everyone for your participation.

Thank you for volunteering for the ad hoc committee as I know we're going to really get some great

work done. I'm looking forward to being the chair going forward and again if folks have items for

the agenda you can get them to me by the Monday after the meeting. I highly appreciate it and

thank you for the grace that you showed me tonight as I'm learning my role. I appreciate it and I

will do better next month and the meeting is adjourned. Eight chair would you guys like a picture

since a lot of you have a lot of new bodies up there?
