[0:39] Morning.
[0:41] Okay. So, we are reconvening back from
[0:44] closed session.
[0:46] Closed session.
[0:48] » Yes, thank you.
[0:50] Uh
[0:50] the uh report after closed session
[0:53] the board in closed session
[0:56] unanimously unanimously rejected the
[0:59] claim of Chris Chris Christensen
[1:02] and directed the council
[1:04] to respond to the claim
[1:07] and take appropriate affirmative action
[1:10] if necessary.
[1:12] Thank you.
[1:14] » Any closing comments from members?
[1:18] Seeing none, we're going to adjourn
[1:19] meeting.
[1:20] » Um I just wanted to let you know that
[1:22] the report is being emailed to you today
[1:27] and
[1:28] October is October. I'm lacking thought
[1:31] for CPR now.
[1:34] New new thought. So,
[1:36] it's it's October now.
[1:39] » Any other board member comments?
[1:42] » Yeah, sorry. No.
[1:48] » Yes, so just briefly, thank you. Um I
[1:51] did attend, I think a few of us did, the
[1:53] CSDA conference um here last month. And
[1:57] so, I found it extremely informative. um
[1:59] Um, and one of the
[2:02] one of the sessions that I attended was
[2:06] the self-finance session on managing
[2:08] revenue volatility and building
[2:10] reserves. So, it was extremely relevant
[2:12] to, you know, a lot of the work we're
[2:14] doing in consideration of our new
[2:15] strategic plan moving forward. And then,
[2:18] I also did, um, attend the State of
[2:21] Reform conference September 3rd along
[2:23] with Director Delarim. And we got a lot
[2:26] of really great information from the
[2:28] ex-experts across the state informing us
[2:30] about HR 1, um, and a lot of the
[2:34] strategies that they'll be suggesting
[2:35] that, um,
[2:37] municipalities use to address this
[2:39] issue, which is going to be the biggest
[2:40] disenrollment that we have ever seen
[2:43] um, under HR 1, the Medicare diet. So,
[2:46] both of those we attended, and if
[2:47] anybody has any questions or
[2:49] information, we also did get slides. Uh,
[2:52] they provided them from the Local
[2:53] California Department of Finance.
[2:55] Thank you.
[2:56] » Thank you for your hard work.
[2:57] » I I do want to add something, Albert.
[2:59] That makes me reminded me that I'm a
[3:01] great board. Um, second conference that
[3:03] I attended, which is the one that she
[3:05] mentioned, the special district one that
[3:07] was Cal Care in Palm Desert. And I just
[3:09] want to mention that, uh, even though a
[3:11] lot of those topics are ones that have
[3:13] been, uh, shared in the past, they're
[3:15] still extremely important. The Brown
[3:18] Act, the conflict of interest, the
[3:20] public record request, all of those,
[3:22] even though I've attended them in the
[3:24] past, I still of gained a lot of of real
[3:27] life experience on how uh, it's being
[3:30] used, changes that have,
[3:32] uh, occurred. So, it was very beneficial
[3:34] to be able to attend that. Um,
[3:37] and thank you, Albert, for reminding.
[3:38] » I I thank you, Andrea.
[3:40] » We attended uh, CSDA's as well, and
[3:44] we too talked about the pressure, the
[3:46] ethics of the Brown uh, portion that I
[3:48] attended.
[3:49] Um,
[3:50] um,
[3:51] always good, right? And make sure that
[3:52] we're
[3:54] we're up to date
[3:55] with F 2 P 2
[3:57] and
[3:58] uh P 2 P. So, any other comments?
[4:01] All right. You want to trip? And then
