Um this is the citizen review board uh meeting.

Um so welcome everyone and uh we'll do a roll call.

Um and since you're the secretary, you want to do the roll call?

Okay, thank you.

So uh first um line of business is has everyone had an opportunity to uh review the minutes from the last meeting?

Yeah.

Okay.

Uh we need to get a motion to approve those minutes.

I move a motion.

Okay, we have a motion on the floor.

Yes, I can.

We have a second.

Any discussion.

All in favor?

Aye.

I carry motion for adopting the amendment from the last meeting carries.

Okay.

Um the chairman report.

First of all, I'd like to um thank everyone for um coming back for another session.

Um I want to give out oh here's comes Harry now, so yeah.

Hey Harry.

Hi, Harry.

First of all, I'd like to um give thanks to uh the new mayor elect uh Sharon Owens for uh uh re-electing our chair for another term, Peggy uh Chase.

Vice Chair?

As vice chair.

Okay.

Unfortunately, she's as vice chair.

So happy to have Peggy back on board.

Also um to have Linda Brett uh serving out another term.

So we have one more person that we need to get on the board.

We'll have a full operating board at that point.

Uh we'll have all eleven members on there.

Um and not to be remiss, I would also like to uh give thanks to Cho, who has uh did a tireless job of um helping out the CRB.

He's no longer on that.

Uh the safety committee is now Donna Moore.

Um Donna Moore.

Uh Nolita and I met with her last week.

I think she's gonna be a great asset uh to the CRB board.

So I'm excited about that uh the regime change.

Um so okay.

Well and Anna said she would put me on the reminder for the safety committee meetings.

Okay, fantastic.

Uh already that we know of.

I'm not I'm not uh that familiar with her background.

Okay.

So um she works with North East Community Center and has been working with the refugees for um Yeah, I know quite a few years.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I know how she I think she will be good.

She has been corroborating with everyone.

So uh she definitely have a um compassion for the citizens and for people.

So I think she'll be an excellent asset to the board.

Uh uh as our go-to for the the council.

So um the next thing on the agenda is the administrator report.

Uh Lolita.

Yeah.

Good evening, everyone.

Well, Donna's already mentioned us meeting with Donna Moore.

I do think as well, she's going to be a great asset for us.

It was good to sit and hear her ideas of what she wants to do.

And she wanted to hear what the CRB was up to.

And she's in full support of whatever it is that we do.

We she has uh stated that we have full access to her.

All we have to do is just give her a call.

So I do appreciate that.

Um I too echoed this sentiments of thinking Cho for the role that he played.

He was when he uh when he was in office.

Um so I do thank him for that.

He was a great asset as well, and he helped out a lot quite a bit.

And uh he too had open phone policy for me.

If I needed anything, he would call and I would call, and he also has said he's still be, he'll still be around.

So if I needed him, that he would still take my phone calls.

That's great.

So during the month of January, um focused on uh strategic coordination, police retaliation, and the internal board of development.

Um attended the mayor's inauguration on January 3rd and participated, of course, in the board meetings.

Um attended the board's police committee meeting and quarterly meeting with the Chiefs Cabinet, uh, where the board was formally introduced to Chief Russen's cabinet.

So we got a chance to meet all of the new chiefs that were uh have been put in place and we had a really good meeting, good discussion.

Um also we are in continued discussion with their name again, Bosque.

Okay and hosting in regards to the hearing and time, so nothing has been scheduled just yet.

We're still waiting on that.

Um conducted, of course, weekly um staff meetings.

We meet every Friday.

The CRB, we meet every single Friday to just make sure that we're all on the same page and we got a good flow going and we keep that flow going.

Um we all attended the CCA, which is the Center of For Community Alternatives.

Um we have been presenting to them quite a bit.

Uh, but there's a different group every time we go, so that's really good that we're getting our faces out there, getting our name out there.

I've reviewed 10 cases for the month of January, five of which are going to be slated for tonight executive board meeting.

Um legal secretary.

Uh Julie has um successfully opened 11 new files.

She closed nine.

Uh we had a total of 20 letters sent out.

11 of them were acknowledgement letters, and five of them were closing letters.

She received three letters um from the outside that three, I'm sorry, she sent out three letters um to let them know that we didn't cover their jurisdiction and it was outside of what the CRB does.

Um, and then we have Don who is such a busybody.

Um, but he's also attended the mayor inauguration.

Um he also attended the state of address.

Um he partnered with Adonia to present at the NAACP monthly membership meeting where they were able to discuss and get their faces, get our faces out there once again.

And um, so we are definitely moving in the community.

We're in the community, we're doing events.

Um he focused on recruitment for the new board members here, um, along with Chris.

They did some data things that they were uh working on for the CRB.

Um actively participated in the cases where I have sent out cases for them to view.

Um, and so we all work together.

So everyone participates in case management, um, viewing of the documents and stuff, so that we have a good idea of what's going on.

It's not just one person's idea, but it's coming from different views where everybody can see something different and bring something different to the table.

Um, and I think it's very important because sometimes I might miss something, and believe me, they let me know that I've missed it, and they will uh see things that I don't see.

So I can appreciate having a good working team.

Umia is focusing on education to the community, doing outreach, um, ensuring that the community understands how to access CRB services, um, and also giving them information.

She is the go-to person.

So when we are out here doing these events and tabling, majority of the time um they are coming from Adonia.

Someone either has called her to ask her to table, or she comes up with these things that are in the community.

Um and we all try to attend to be supportive uh when she's out tabling.

Um so her again, she attended the end uh the NAACP, also the CCA.

Um and she has some other things that are coming up really soon.

So please, please, please look at the website so that you can see the calendar.

And if you are able to make the event, please show up, show her some support as she is putting making sure that we have our faces in the community.

Uh then we have Chris, our data analysis person.

Chris is focusing on technical infrastructure and creating um comprehensive progress progressive reports.

So he is doing a ton of stuff with data that I am not data savvy with, but he is really good with explaining um what the pie what the charts look like and what the data information is, how he collaborated it.

Um and he is working on a really good report for the annual reporting.

So he's working on a master spreadsheet that keeps tracking of the system, keep tracking of our cases in the system itself.

Um he reviewed past reports to create a new format for 2025.

He decided to keep this the format that was set for this year.

It's a little bit complicated to try to change it now for it to go in.

So, but 2025, the report will look different, and that will be due to what Chris does.

Um we have also purchased a technical backup storage for our records just in case we have that same problem that we had a few months back where the systems crashed and we lost some things.

Um, but we have it backed up now, and so if if it does happen, we do have a backup to the backup.

So that's really good.

And that was also Chris's idea, which I thought was really great.

Um, he partnered with Don and they um put some statistics and created maps for the 2024 annual report.

Um and I believe what else did you guys do?

Then uh just want to also note that um I think it is the end of March, Chris, that uh we're gonna be putting on a data presentation for the board uh to show you some of the things that are happening along the data lines and with the city.

I'm also setting I talked to uh Chief Rustin about having Chris and I come over to the police department to start looking at some of their data so we can correlate their data in with some of our data to see exactly what patterns are developing out there in the market and and things of that sort.

The other thing that I wanted to just uh emphasize is that one of the requirements of the CRB is that each of the board members is supposed to be sponsoring an event uh in their district.

Um I think Adonia has sent out an email.

If not, it'll go out sometime some sometime this week, uh, requesting everyone to send in uh when they would like to uh sponsor an event in the in their area, and then we can uh you can work with her and setting that that information up and getting uh so we can get it um in each of the areas to make sure everyone has the exposure to the CRB.

So that's gonna be February 28th.

It's a Saturday.

The data presentation with Chris.

And I think we said it was oh 10 to 10 to one, 10 to 1.

And that's gonna be at the office of the CRB.

Excuse me.

But I'll let you let you know.

Okay.

One of the things that um I think we're gonna try to do before I leave the office there, is to um set up some type of recording.

So if we're putting it on a class and someone can't make it, then at least we'll have a video of that presentation so people can look at it online and uh um keep everybody on the same path.

So any old business that anyone wants to discuss.

Okay.

Uh I'm wondering besides myself, how many people on the board have yet to get a token to get into the system?

Am I the only one?

Uh no.

Oh, because it that needs to be resolved.

I've been waiting for probably did you get your token yet?

Never got a token.

We go through this every time the token comes up.

Never received the token ever.

Okay.

And uh and you can't prove that I got one.

Well, actually I got an idea that I don't know about how what to do with it, but I've been there.

I understand how the process is with it, that type of thing, and I'm familiar with the system for meeting with you.

But I still don't have it, and I think that we'd like to get that out of the way.

Okay.

We'll get your token ASAP.

I think I have a token, but I don't have access to the one drive.

Okay.

We actually got you and Octavia on the OneDrive.

Um so that was as of yesterday.

Oh, yes.

So I'll be sending out your new password.

Okay, did I send you a password out, Octavia?

I think that you did.

Yes.

Um but it was the same one you gave me the other day.

Well no, it's a little different.

Okay.

Because I actually I got into the OneDrive, I got into everything.

I got to where they asked me for this number on here.

Okay.

And I still couldn't get it.

So I don't quite know.

Okay.

I were opening to one side.

What was going on?

I'm not particularly this isn't my I'm good at growing flowers.

Okay, so um I'll make sure that everyone has access to the one drive.

Peggy and Ada, I uh you guys uh tokens are over in my desk.

So and then Mike, I'll make sure I get your physical token uh from Tim.

Um meet in the parking lot with a brown paper bag.

We can exchange our case.

Oh my gosh.

I'm just saying I need to get a baggie.

I can the system itself is is familiar to me as far as uh how uh the the system itself and the password.

Uh just okay.

Yeah.

Um the other thing I wanted to mention is we in September in the in the fourth meeting, uh we held the discussion.

I my notes don't reflect that we voted, but I think we did for the oversight board.

But we haven't discussed it since then.

We decided there would be three board members and a three city residents that board members could recommend.

And the our director would be uh part of it.

That would be the seven people on the board.

And the board would uh review and make recommendations regarding at the very least our current bylaws.

Okay.

That's what their job is.

But um again, nothing is occurred.

I think we may have discussed it slightly in October.

Uh so I'm bringing it up again is to um to resolve it, for example, at the very least uh board members should have a recommendation into you by the next meeting, and we can vote on the next meeting.

I think uh my other notes reflect that i i if a board member recommends something, it's someone that they can't be related to by um legally or biologically.

That's okay.

City resident, but not related to the person making the nomination.

Okay.

Um so do we need to make a motion on that or not?

Are you establishing the committee?

Yes.

Yeah.

Well today.

It's what what Mike is what Mike is pointing out is that he wants each of the board members to send in their recommendation uh for us to vote on at the next meeting.

If it's the answer to your question is my notes don't reflect whether we voted to establish it on at the September meeting.

I just don't remember.

We did not probably say we're talking about more oralize.

Okay.

Okay.

Michael, you want to.

I make a motion that we establish a seven-person over site review board uh for the CRB, whose primary purpose will be to review our bylaws and make recommendations.

Okay.

Can I get a second on that?

Second and no, sir.

Okay.

It's been moved and second.

Any discussion?

No discussion.

Uh let's take the vote.

All those in favor?

Aye.

Aye.

Those opposed?

Those who have staying.

Ayes have it.

Um so by March.

Whatever the date is for our March meeting.

Um, March 3rd.

Um everyone needs to make sure they get that information in to me.

Now I have sent an email out um to everyone about the committees.

Um and it uh outline um the responsibilities for those committees.

If you guys can all take a look at that, decide what committees you want to be on.

And then I can go ahead and put together the committee listing.

And I also send out a form for us to fill out when we have the committee meetings so we know what's going on and everybody can stay on the same page.

Okay.

Any other uh old business that we need to discuss?

Yeah.

Yeah, by the way, thank you for bringing the the committee thing, because time runs so fast.

And and I think the office is doing a good job.

So shout out to Adonia.

I see her everywhere.

And all the administration and Dan and Norida, they are all doing a good job.

And I think like the board, we need to make sure that the committee is going where is moving.

Because the most thing I want to bring out is the translation for the immigrants for the new Americans.

The one I requested, you know, this is very important.

If you need help with the translation, I can help.

But we need to welcome that as soon as possible.

Uh so that you know they they can they can know the loss and the regression of this country.

That's very important when the police stop you what you do.

Uh so I think by the time I end my term on this board, I need that to have been imprimented.

So thank you.

Okay, fantastic.

We'll definitely get working on that.

Um I'm not sure what you're saying.

Are you saying the CRB board rules or translated?

What are you talking about?

No, the education materials.

Right, you know, to be translated into languages.

So different languages.

Education materials and other languages.

What to do when you stop by the police.

Um, there's quite a lot of that out there.

I was actually at uh Tilly's touch, the soccer place over on uh by an assumption church, my grandson plays that for that.

And they actually have cards, and they have them, I think, in at least 15 different languages.

So that may already exist.

Um I can't.

But I think desire is is is gearing more towards the CRB material that we have.

That we can to building confidence in the new American people that they can report cases because they always have fear, you know, if they face violence, if they they face challenges, how can they report?

You know, because I have like I know new American leaders, but I can't go to meet them if we don't have translated materials.

It's gonna be very easy if we have them so they can lead in their own languages.

Otherwise, we may need an interpreter wherever we go.

If we go to the Alabiq, I don't know how to speak Alabic, you know, so that's very important.

Okay.

I said we'll definitely be working on getting that taken care of.

Um, one other thing.

Oh, um far as position at the uh CRB.

Uh the only position that we have left that needs to be filled is the one for the investigator.

Um I am working on some alternatives on how we may handle that situation.

Um I'll be drafting the letter and I'll be getting it out to you guys uh to get some feedback on some options that we can take to get that position filled.

So one of one of the things that is still available to us is we can use the people that we were using before.

Uh uh what's on them?

For free land.

Are we not still using them?

We are still using them.

Okay.

Um what I'll do is I'll get that letter out to everyone uh for you to review.

Um some options on how we can cut costs and still get the job done.

So is that something that we're representing as far as because of Freelander is it that is there we're looking at the rates based on them and compare some two something else?

Well, we're looking at rate, and then they also have a cat.

So uh once they hit that cat, then we're just sort of stuck without them.

So we're trying to become self-sufficient.

So is Freelander is that a private I firm?

Yes.

It's the um it's an investigation firm that's here.

Uh Virgil um is the uh owner of that company.

So uh does he are are you requiring that that they have a uh license from the state of New York as a private investigator?

He does, he has a license through the state of New York.

So and we've used them for years.

Yeah, for years.

So years.

And so and and and normally the time that we we use freelan is when we have a case um that goes beyond our scope um that uh needs some more deep investigation.

So that's when we turn the the freelan.

But a lot of the cases that we deal with, we can deal with those cases in-house without actually having to go out.

What what's the hourly rate that the uh CRB offers to a private investigator?

Um I think if I'm not mistaken, it is ninety-five dollars an hour.

Okay.

So thank you.

Okay.

Okay.

I have one more thing.

Um I uh when I was registering people to vote at the state fair the other day, I I met a fellow who I votering club, I believe.

Okay.

And he was interested in having a presentation um at done for them.

So I have his information, I'll give it to Adonia.

Okay, great.

Pardon?

You could use that as one of your your one event.

All right, can be that thing.

Oh, I and I just want to point out that Sunday um Adonia and I are gonna be doing a presentation up at Nottingham Sch uh School is the um Asian festival that they have every year that's up there.

So if any of you want to help uh table at that event, we definitely welcome you.

It's from two to six or two the yeah, two to six.

So where's the date of?

Uh excuse me?

Eight.

Uh that's Sunday the eight the eighth.

The Chinese Luna.

Um school.

Yeah.

Nine high school?

That's high school.

They used to do it at the after.

Yeah, they well, last year they did it at Nightingham.

I was there last year.

So we're gonna move on to um the committee reports.

Um and right now, since the only uh com committee that's functioning right now is the police relationships, and that's Mike uh Elise and Linda.

Um do you guys have anything to report on that?

Mike does the uh our our director gave our uh essentially our report.

We didn't meet, we um and dad, we were looking for you there.

We were expect I'm serious, we were expecting you to be there.

Well, I I attended the first one and then um uh uh other than that, you know I'm trying to slip out of this right.

Really?

Okay.

Um no, we met the entire new administration.

Okay.

Uh they're all there.

Were we missing anyone?

Nobody there?

No.

And had a a discussion relative to uh um our relationship with them, but it was it was very cordial, met them.

I'm not sure we covered anything really dramatic other than we had a discussion at their point in time.

I think that um and this is a question that was posed.

I think at that point in time there had already been one homicide in Minneapolis.

Uh no, and then the second homicide occurred after that meeting.

But I posed a question to the chief relative to the conduct.

Uh the the there is there's a trickle-down effect uh between uh federal, state, local as far as police agencies mirroring what they see other police agencies doing.

And I brought that up as far as his organization, is this something that they've already met on and discussed uh relative to that type of conduct and the manner in which uh law enforcement acts in the community, and he seemed to be well aware of it.

They were talking about it.

He also gave us his top top two issues for coming in his first year, uh which was pr pretty interesting.

I don't have the notes with me, but I mean um uh my perspective is given their age, um this is about as youthful as the police department, you're going to find it, and I don't mean that is a derogatory comment.

Normally uh at that point in time for chiefs and deputy chiefs, they're somewhere between 80 and 100 years old.

Um these folks are all in their forties, they are articulate, they are well educated.

I'm not suggesting that by describing you that way that you're going to have that you ultimately get the police force you want, but this is a young department.

And with a lot of uh well-educated uh bright ideas, and they are articulate in what their goals are and where they want to go.

So it was it was a um it was a positive meeting.

I'm impressed.

Uh one of the things that I I want to give kudos to the uh committee.

Um what they do now is that we they umito looks at a lot of the cases in the Donia, and we come up with some of the things that may not have been an infraction but could lead into being an infraction.

Um so they meet prior to going over to the police department and draft out some things that they think that would be helpful to the police department uh for modification and changes to make sure that uh things run along smooth and the citizens of Syracuse are being uh treated in the proper way.

So uh like I say, kudos out to you guys committee.

I think you guys are doing a phenomenal job, and uh just keep up the good work.

And I have to go.

Okay.

Sorry.

This is uh uh this will be the only time.

This is because we switched to Tuesday.

Same here, I uh I I'm gonna have to leave it uh 615 also myself.

There is still my belief is even if you and I leave, we should have to do that.

It's still be a quorum of seven.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you.

So Peggy's gonna, as the vice chairman will then handle the um the executive session for the review of the claims of the cases.

So and I do apologize, but again, um I had made this commitment prior to uh switching from a Thursday to a Tuesday night.

So next thing on the agenda is the uh public comment.

Um Welcome, Barry.

Hello.

Welcome to the new year.

I have a question for you later.

Um there.

Um you know who I am, Barry Gwanter, resident of Syracuse, 13207.

Um first thing I understand that you did a case investigation training on 115.

That's great.

That's a necessary training.

What I'm curious about is whether that covered use of force and analysis of use of force, search of persons, vehicles, and homes, and also procedures when officers arrive at a scene.

All of those things are essential to be able to analyze a complaint.

So I'm wondering what was included in that.

Thank you.

Um, um, I was thrilled to see a third and and a fourth quarter report on the website.

Kudos to you, Miss Tannehill.

Um I was wondering in past reports and past years for the CRB, they did indicate the types of complaints that came in, without being able to identify who they were tied to, or the officers about whom there may have been complaints, but simply the type of complaints.

There was so many use of force, there was so many demeanor, there were so many searches, and I didn't see that.

And as you process complaints and take them to hearing and have results, I think it's important that the public knows what kind of cases are coming to you and what kinds of cases you are considering through the hearing process.

Um I also saw no indication of how many complaints were founded, how many complaints were unfounded, how many complaints there was not enough information to determine.

And again, I think the public needs to have some information about outcomes.

And I know you're just starting up and hearings are coming.

Um but still I think the outcomes need to be there.

Three.

Correct.

And I ask that you discuss those alternatives in a public setting rather than only discuss them behind the scenes.

Because the CRB fought long and hard to get an investigator.

And if you choose to go in a direction that dilutes that, I think that's a discussion that needs to happen in public.

Um you know what I'll have to check with Joe to see whether or not that um how that falls in, uh, whether it does have to go before a public hearing, or is that can be just because it's a it's actually a personnel issue.

So I'll get some clarification on that for you.

Um please do, because if there is something short of hiring an investigator when it's in the budget, I think the public has a right to know.

Okay.

Um you mentioned that there was going to be a presentation by the police to review data, and it was at the CRB office on February 28th from 10 to 1.

Is that open to the public?

I would suggest that again.

I heard you say that there was going to be a meeting with the police to review police data.

No, no, no.

It's with the board.

We're doing a um a presentation to the board about the data.

Not the the police department is not involved in there.

The the police department was that Chris and I are going to meet with uh Chief Rustin um to see about getting data from the police department so we can do that.

I'm sorry if I misheard.

With with with uh the CRB to make sure that things uh we we we can pick up patterns that are happening because getting data from the police department is very important, and then using our data to correlate between the two.

Yes.

So I just if you're gonna discuss data trends, patterns not tied to an individual.

I would suggest that that discussions should be public.

So even if you're just gonna be discussing the data that is evolving that is available to you, is that thing on the February 28th from 10 to 1 to be open to the public?

Well, and basically what it is is to is uh allow the board to understand how the data looks and how to read the data, um how we uh uh get to that point.

Um so I don't know if it's gonna be open to the public.

Again, I'll have to um get legal counsel on whether or not when we're doing the training, what training has to be open to the public and what training can be held in-house without having to be exposed to the public.

Is it a training or is it a review of data?

It's a training.

Okay.

Then we put it out to the public.

Yeah.

Okay.

I I think the public would be quite interested in that.

Um and since you only meet once a month and it's on February 28th, I asked to find out if that's something that can be publicly transparent.

Um you got a data analyst.

That is fantastic, and I'm thrilled he's coming up with stuff that you'll be able to use, but the public also may want to know about that.

Two more things.

Um, it should be presented at the follow-up March meeting.

Yes.

That would be certainly an option, but not just behind closed doors, please.

Um there is a translating your educational materials into other languages is fantastic.

It's a great idea, and I think it's necessary because of the fear in our immigrant and refugee community right now.

However, there is a cost to translate documents accurately, and you can't just do that because somebody speaks a language.

There's specific terminology involved.

So I was wondering do you have a cost for interpretation and translation in your budget?

And if not, how will you deal with that cost?

And are there resources within the city, including the city's Title VI coordinator that can help you with that?

Also, if you're wondering what languages, talk to DSS.

They maintain a list of the majority of languages that are spoken and the percentages of people that uh seek DSS services in the languages they speak.

Last thing.

Um I heard very quickly from Mike about and and you did a motion and enacted uh the formation of a seven-person oversight review board.

And all I heard was that that group would review your bylaws and make recommendations.

Is that group also gonna be taking a look at the legislation to see if you have any recommendations for amendments?

I just didn't hear it.

It went too quickly.

And uh that that that board would actually, or that committee would actually overlook um the whole gamut, both the legislation and the the bylaws and any changes that need to be made.

Um I mean, we're we're just in the fledgling state right now, so uh as we get closer to deciding how how that board is going to be made up, who's gonna be made up of, um, we'll be definitely making sure that the public is involved in in getting that done.

Thank you for the clarification.

Uh I just wanted to uh give a quick clarification about uh some of the questions that you had, uh specifically about the annual report about what is or is not gonna be in it.

Uh the sustain rate uh is gonna be in the annual.

Oh, yeah.

Um those will be in it going forward.

Um I in the report, the sustain rate and then also the different types of cases going forward.

Um when we initially were starting out that spreadsheet had not been created yet and it has been created now, so going forward we will be able to do that.

Thank you, Chris.

Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, and uh yeah.

So I think on on Chris on the data, I I led uh on Washington Seattle uh uh CRB.

And they do something like a feedback for f from the community to hear from the community.

Well so this is very important for the accountability.

Maybe it's something we can duplicate here in Syracuse and create like uh like a survey, you know, to hear from the public.

And that survey cannot cost us money because Adonia can go in the community and have people correct, you know, show them how to enter the information.

So it's just a suggestion, you know.

I led it and I saw uh this is very important.

I don't know if it can help the CRB, I just don't know.

Okay.

Interesting enough, I'm glad you brought that point up.

So when a Donia uh and I or whoever puts on um uh meetings in the in the community.

Well field events, one of the things we do, we do have a survey.

Um that we have people fill out about um some of their concerns, um what's some of the things that they'd like to see done.

Um and the last one we had which was at uh the pet at uh um the library um with the NAACP uh monthly meeting a lot of questions that uh wanted to be answered.

So and every time we get those we sort of add those to our survey.

So we keep building out the survey to make sure that uh the people in the community, if they have questions, that we get those questions answered for them and that um any time we put on a presentation we address those issues for the community at large.

So any other um comments from the uh the committee out there, citizen.

Any um any other thing that the board wants to talk about?

If not, um make a motion or so have someone make a motion that uh we go into executive session?

I'll move that we go into executive session.

Okay, can I get a second?

Oh uh to review cases.

To review the cases now.

Yeah, those pending case uh we we need to get a motion to uh go into executive session to remove to review the um caseload for pending cases.

Do we have to say it again?

No.

I move that we go into executive session to review cases.

Okay.

There's been a motion on the floor to go into executive session.

Uh can I get a second?

Second.

Those in favor?

Aye.

Those opposed.

Any abstentions?

Any discussion?

Motion carry, we're going into executive session, and then once the executive session is over, we'll come back out and uh close out the meeting.

And that's exactly what it is.
