All right, Chair Muser. This is the host. I just want to let you know that staff is ready when you are. It appears we do have a quorum, and all members that are supposed to be here are here. And just so other board members are aware, we are doing a quasi-hybrid meeting where uh Chair Muser is in the chamber. So if you can be a little patient with us, we are learning some new tech tonight, but hopefully it'll run smooth. Thank you. We ready to begin? Yeah. Okay, welcome everybody. Umbers of the public and cultural heritage board. I'd like to call to order the August 4th Cultural Heritage Board meeting. And uh Mr. Maloney, if we could uh do a roll call. Thank you, Chair Muser. Let the record reflect that all commissioners are present except or board members are present except board member Gail. I am so used. Thank you, Mr. Maloney. And uh before we get started, I just want to make a statement. We are doing uh the meeting a little bit different once again with uh with COVID. Um our staff ways on uh Susie Murray and myself are at City Hall, and with that we are following uh protocol COVID protocols, so that's you will see us both uh wearing masks through the meeting. Um we are trying out some new systems, so there may be a few hiccups along the way, so hopefully everybody will just kind of bear with us and uh and uh we'll we'll get through this and eventually have a smooth run and chip. Um with that, I'd like to say that uh due to the provisions of the governor's executive order in twenty-five twenty and in twenty-nine twenty, which suspend certain requirements of the Brown Act and the order of the health officer of the county of Sonoma to shelter in place to minimize the spread of COVID nineteen.
