Meeting Transcript
6 o'clock. And if I can get you out early on a hot day. Or if you're enjoying the air conditioning, I can extend it, whichever you prefer. So with that, my first order was this is a plagiaris. And to do it for the justice for you. Roll call. We have a quorum. We have an excused absence from Victor Chesa. He has a health problem today, but hopefully we'll be able to join us for the first time next meeting. And Keith informed me that he might be late because he's traveling back from Sacramento. But we do have a quorum. So do we have to do actual roll call or is that sufficient? That's efficient. Thank you. All right. Do we have any remote as well? You can make announcement. Announcement from Erica. Good evening, everyone. Just a quick announcement. It's my understanding that Chair Bailey sent an email to the board on Friday on March 13th discussing what was going to informing the board of what was going to be on the agenda today. And there was also a reference to some of the items that would be discussed today. So that it doesn't become a potential brown act violation. It references conversations that were had between himself. Because it references a conversation with another board member, we just want to avoid any potential violations. So I just want to caution you all not to respond to that email. And then any discussion that you want to have on those agenda items should be had today during the um during that agenda item. Okay. Okay. Any discussion that you want to have on those topics should happen today during that public agenda title. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. I just deleted it. I don't remember the note. I'm always like, oh, thanks. So I'm glad I didn't. Okay. Consent calendar is the approval of the minutes from February 18th. I hope everybody had a chance to look at them. Is there any uh comments or edits or changes that you saw? Not for me. Okay. Um do I have a motion to accept the minutes then? I'll make that motion. Okay. Second. Second, okay.
