Uh he's with Monterey County Board of Supervisors, and I was uh called in as vice chair, uh which I have uh been running the meetings the last couple months uh because the chair does not been around. He's been doing he must be very busy. Uh with Amboard, there was uh going to be some fee changes. Um the board uh adopted some resolutions, um, one for their uh budget, and the other was they held a public hearing to review uh and provide directions for staff regarding um 2.2 fee increase uh based on CPI uh for in San Francisco Oakland and Hayward. There has been some new role changes to uh 301 uh with two categories proposed incident response. Um I think that was because of the battery fire in Moss Landing last year.
