[0:08] we get everything together we are all

[0:11] set thank you ping the meeting to order

[0:15] thank you all for coming

[0:17] today could you please um establish a

[0:20] forum J yes I will go ahead and start

[0:24] with um commissioner gallager

[0:27] Thompson commissioner Dixon commissioner

[0:30] Trel here chair Cohen here commissioner

[0:34] bassi here Vice chair Olsen here and

[0:37] commissioner Buckle here we do have a

[0:40] full a full Quorum

[0:56] present to the flag of the United States

[0:59] of America

[1:00] and to the Republic for which it stands

[1:03] one nation under God indivisible with

[1:20] liberty

[1:22] comments there is no one currently um uh

[1:27] no cards have been turned in up this

[1:29] time

[1:35] okay so we're moving to item

[1:38] consideration first thing are the

[1:47] minut people have a chance to check it

[1:51] out do I have a motion to

[1:54] approve

[1:56] second all in favor say I

[2:00] opposed

[2:07] abser thank you very much although last

[2:11] time I asked them they said they could

[2:14] vote which to me doesn't make any sense

[2:17] at all because if you weren't here how

[2:19] can you

[2:23] approve

[2:25] majority okay so the next item is the

[2:28] work plan our

[2:31] Bible are with a lot of revisions for

[2:34] Bible yes so uh we did provide a printed

[2:38] copy for everyone um that is the packet

[2:41] that is in front of you um so this

[2:44] incorporates all of the changes that the

[2:47] commission discussed at your meeting in

[2:50] January um and so this represents the um

[2:54] the transportation piece uh was

[2:56] completed but the two updated ones um

[3:00] the social participation um the

[3:02] collaboration with Club 55 for the um

[3:05] calling it kind of a fall fling um until

[3:08] maybe there is maybe a a a title that

[3:12] the um ad hoc committee comes up with um

[3:16] and then I did list um because that was

[3:18] part of the conversation which is not

[3:21] listed because it would technically fall

[3:23] in the next term but the hope that the

[3:25] fall fling would could turn into um

[3:28] hosting a spring in in

[3:31] 2026 so that again would fall into the next term but that is uh captured in

[3:38] the work plan and then the other larger

[3:41] event is the um health fair which is on

[3:45] the second page um and obviously that is

[3:48] currently in progress we have the date

[3:50] and time secured in September and so if

[3:54] there are any changes or adjustments

[3:57] that need to be made um but

[4:00] uh this should reflect the conversation

[4:02] that we had at our January

[4:06] meeting yes it was also included in the

[4:09] packet as

[4:12] well don't get up don't get

[4:15] up City Council leaz on are new count

[4:19] correct glad that you're with us well

[4:21] thank you I'm happy to be here I

[4:23] requested this Commission

[4:32] really pay

[4:34] attention so where are where where

[4:38] would

[4:39] sorry question about the health fair

[4:42] because last time we talked about

[4:44] September versus October and I thought

[4:47] we didn't decide yet on the DAT I

[4:51] thought that Jamie was going to Che

[4:53] about availability or both the place was

[4:55] available both

[4:57] stes so I wonder the because it says

[5:00] September so I wondered if we are now

[5:03] set for September I so yeah could you

[5:07] speak a little louder louder the we do

[5:11] have the microphone as

[5:14] well yes and we we just need to make

[5:17] sure it's turned

[5:23] on that

[5:26] better okay great saying last month we

[5:30] talked about the Frozen ponds of

[5:32] September versus October for the health

[5:35] there so people prer October others were

[5:38] saying September and I think Jamie to

[5:40] check on availability of the venue so I

[5:44] and I think

[5:46] we could

[5:49] you could you take off your mask the um

[5:53] air movement is sufficient a little that

[5:57] um this is not a closed environment this

[6:05] is yeah it's a I'll do it

[6:11] for let me say again we had a discussion

[6:14] about the difference in

[6:17] the likelihood of people attending if it

[6:20] was September versus October with the

[6:23] thought that September might be too

[6:24] early people right after L day and

[6:28] October had some advant

[6:30] because was us more time to plan as well

[6:34] um so I thought it was left open and

[6:37] then G was going to check availability

[6:39] of the venue and that we would decide

[6:41] today what the actual date was going to

[6:46] be I I pi to different I I thought it

[6:49] was pretty

[6:51] much

[6:53] yeah so uh clarification um and the

[6:57] commission does have options So based

[7:00] upon the conversation that the

[7:02] commission had in November the priority

[7:05] date was this was September um that date

[7:09] has been booked but the October date has

[7:12] also been booked as a backup so the ad

[7:16] hoc subcommittee can determine during

[7:19] the planning process if we need to

[7:21] adjust to the October so both dates are

[7:25] available but the first priority date

[7:27] from the conversation in November was

[7:30] September so that is what is currently

[7:32] reflected we can update the work plan to

[7:35] list both um so that it is clear that

[7:38] both are

[7:39] options is it premature to ask what the

[7:42] specific dates are yes so

[7:46] the no um so those dates uh were listed

[7:51] it is um September uh it is so both are

[7:56] Tuesday dates um the priority date was September 9th and that is the one

[8:02] that is currently listed the um other

[8:06] date I believe in I believe it was

[8:11] October 7th if I remember correctly so

[8:15] those are the two dates um that are

[8:19] currently secured and booked here at the

[8:21] community center so both are options but

[8:25] um September 9th umer

[8:29] s so again I can update the work plan to

[8:33] identify both of those dates if that

[8:36] would be better for the commission

[8:38] specific time yes the specific time the

[8:42] event itself will be noon to 3: it will

[8:46] be 3 hours and then there will obviously

[8:49] be time for setup before and clean up

[8:52] after but the event time frame was

[8:55] selected from 12: to 3

[9:00] in the next September date was it a

[9:02] Jewish holiday Chris remember you looked

[9:04] it up can you check it

[9:06] yes 23rd was

[9:09] rash

[9:13] yes conflict no so the 16th was

[9:18] unavailable so the 16th was unavailable

[9:21] and so that is why those two dates the

[9:24] top priority was so the 9th and the 16th

[9:28] the commission had preferred September

[9:30] at least during the November discussion

[9:33] um and so 16th was unavailable which is

[9:36] why the 9th was booked the seventh was

[9:39] booked as well as a backup so again the

[9:41] um the subcommittee can determine during

[9:44] the planning process if we would like to

[9:47] adjust to the October date so both are

[9:51] available I think it's great that we

[9:53] have both dates because we have to light

[9:54] up Seekers and right now we haven't done

[9:57] any of that so it's good to have the two

[10:00] days and I think maybe that would be the

[10:02] determining factor for what the acre is

[10:05] who can we

[10:15] get I think the the rationale for the

[10:19] September it not being the 9th is

[10:21] because we don't have a meeting at

[10:23] August right there's no meeting in

[10:25] August is that no so there is a meeting

[10:28] in August it is July and December that

[10:31] we do not currently have meeting

[10:33] scheduled now if it is needed we can set

[10:36] up a special meeting but generally

[10:39] speaking for regular meetings that the

[10:41] commission holds there are no meetings

[10:44] planned for July and December at this

[10:50] time so uh with the is direction that we

[10:54] would like to add notes that indicate

[10:56] those two dates on the work plan

[11:03] also please note which one is first dat

[11:06] from which one is back yes we will go

[11:08] ahead and do

[11:13] that we going to discuss about the work

[11:16] plan

[11:17] now it um and so we can make those

[11:20] adjustments and I will make sure that is reflected so that we can um have

[11:26] the most current work plan when it is

[11:29] submitted to city council for the joint

[11:32] meeting um the only other piece is if

[11:35] any adjustments need to be made or if

[11:37] there want if the commission desired to

[11:40] add anything else to the work plan um

[11:43] but uh as I mentioned in January those

[11:46] are two quite large events um and so I

[11:50] think for this term I think that

[11:53] probably would be sufficient along with

[11:55] anything else that might come up with

[11:56] the year but that is open for the

[11:59] commission to discuss if you would like

[12:01] to add anything

[12:04] else uh remind me you were supposed to

[12:08] send an an email putting the members of

[12:12] the healthcare committee together in

[12:15] terms of contact information and maybe

[12:19] even so far as the first meeting I did

[12:22] you send that email no not yet um and we

[12:25] would want to make sure that the uh so I

[12:28] have held off doing that just until the

[12:31] work plan has been um approved and

[12:34] finalized then we will go ahead and and

[12:37] go forward with that including the um

[12:40] Outreach for that piece and also the St

[12:44] member assigned to the subcommittee

[12:49] correct an information question since I

[12:52] wasn't here the last time you guys had a

[12:55] health fair what is the basic um goal of

[12:58] the health fair

[13:00] question so the pre uh I can just uh

[13:04] provide a brief overview but um the the

[13:08] adult 50 plus um in collaboration with

[13:13] uh a few volunteers did host um a health

[13:17] fair down at Grant Park in October um

[13:21] and all of that information um and the

[13:23] intent behind that one was to um provide

[13:27] information on a variety of resources es

[13:30] um and so that can be up to the

[13:33] subcommittee as far as what the purpose

[13:37] of the he of this upcoming health fair

[13:39] that the commission would like to plan

[13:42] that is open so at least initially when

[13:45] we had talked about this for the work

[13:47] plan um it was to expand upon what was

[13:51] offered in October which was really just

[13:53] bringing some vendors together but it

[13:55] was um at least the commission

[13:59] uh let or at least said that they wanted

[14:02] to include uh potentially um discussions

[14:06] or presentations on a variety of topics

[14:12] in addition to having a few other

[14:14] elements similar to that so it is up to

[14:18] the subcommittee um what that um may be

[14:21] potentially uh additional elements or

[14:24] amenities that the event can

[14:28] have I would say the purpose and

[14:32] structure is yet to be

[14:34] determined and I apologize for not being

[14:38] here um last month I was still

[14:43] recovering from some

[14:45] surgery

[14:47] um

[14:50] so we have a lot of potential very much

[14:54] I got a pass for my wife so that was all

[14:57] I needed um so I think we will have to

[15:01] have in the committee a discussion of

[15:07] purpose absolutely and process wise um

[15:11] if the commission is good at with the um

[15:15] changes that was uh discussed now we can

[15:19] update that and then uh once the work

[15:22] plan is approved then we can start

[15:24] moving forward with um those two

[15:27] particular um work plan

[15:33] items uh if there're um if there

[15:38] is are there any other changes beside

[15:41] the ones that we have

[15:46] already I have a question if I want to

[15:49] be on a working group within this the

[15:53] health

[15:54] fair that's not on the work plane right

[15:58] no so what the work plan currently

[16:00] highlights are the ad hoc subcommittees

[16:03] and those are the overarching groups

[16:05] that are tasked with those particular

[16:08] pieces um from the training that we did

[16:11] at the last meeting um as the

[16:15] subcommittees go through and we can um

[16:18] adjust as needed to assign the working

[16:20] pairs um then we can identify those and

[16:24] add to that under those specific

[16:26] projects but we have not

[16:29] discussed or kind of talked about some

[16:31] of those um potential working pairs

[16:33] coming up as we start planning the

[16:35] events and then we can add that as we go

[16:39] forward but this just represents the

[16:41] current ad hoc committees that we

[16:45] have just because we meet so

[16:50] infrequently and I know of information

[16:53] that I'm going to be part of which would

[16:56] be helpful for choosing speakers or at

[16:59] least having access me choosing them how

[17:03] would I get that information out in

[17:05] between meetings

[17:08] say so it just in case I didn't have

[17:11] this information but I get it tomorrow

[17:13] and then I'm going oh I've got some

[17:15] great options in which I've got

[17:17] connections of people that would be

[17:20] working on this so how would I get that

[17:23] out to the group to go I think we can

[17:26] clarify in a second let Char go and then

[17:28] I want CL something go ahead so I wanted

[17:32] to ask if there was a a

[17:35] suitable provision made so that we can

[17:38] have subcomittees within the health care

[17:42] um or health

[17:44] fair uh plan so that we can now have you

[17:49] know there exists an ad hoc subcommittee

[17:52] but we can have another

[17:54] subcommittee so that we can decide all

[17:56] right this fair is going to choose maybe

[18:00] three areas in which they can find

[18:02] speakers this Fair sort of but since

[18:04] that would already mean you you are

[18:07] already on the October

[18:10] 2025 Halloween themed fall fling right

[18:14] but that's my adoc so I can be on she missed the meeting so she didn't get

[18:20] the that's what I needed to we have

[18:24] like created besides the sub commmittee

[18:27] a working care also so that's how we're

[18:30] going to get more people more people

[18:32] otherwise I was going to suggest that

[18:33] maybe we move up the due date for the

[18:35] Halloween te fall fling and we move it

[18:38] up ahead so that you're freed up in

[18:40] October well that's what I wanted to ask

[18:43] it's going to go to Council on the 25th

[18:45] of this month did and they get it

[18:48] beforehand so they review it do they

[18:50] approve it that night or do we hear

[18:52] later and if so how much later no you

[18:55] will get feed back you will the plan is

[18:59] to get feedback and to have that

[19:01] conversation with city council and that

[19:04] goes a little bit into the next item but

[19:07] correct so to do a brief overview into

[19:10] commissioner dixit's question the um the

[19:14] stipulation of Commissioners serving

[19:16] only on one is specific to the ad hoc

[19:19] subcommittee and the difference between

[19:22] that is that that's the larger task um

[19:25] an overarching group that is going to

[19:27] manage that there is the flexibility to

[19:30] create working pairs to help with

[19:32] smaller components of the larger tasks

[19:35] and you can be on as many working pairs

[19:38] as needed to help accomplish some of

[19:41] those things so the best example is with

[19:45] the ad hoc committee that was created

[19:47] for the health fair they're going to

[19:49] manage the overall um task of the event

[19:53] but you could create a working pair to

[19:56] contact vendors to work out speakers to

[20:01] look at maybe potential donations to

[20:05] looking at what is the layout going to

[20:07] be to what elements should be on the

[20:10] flyer um so all of those different

[20:13] pieces can be assigned so to the second

[20:16] point that commissioner Olen brought up

[20:19] is we want to get um uh approval of the

[20:23] work plan um and once that occurs then

[20:27] we can actually um it should be um an

[20:31] item for

[20:32] consideration and it could be then

[20:34] assigning the working pairs early on so

[20:38] that um and again since you can be on as

[20:41] many working pairs as needed we can then

[20:45] have that as an item for for

[20:47] consideration maybe March and April and

[20:50] we can assign those working pairs so

[20:52] that the Commissioners know and they

[20:55] have the opportunity to volunteer or

[20:58] sign up for those different pieces um

[21:01] and then in regards to sharing

[21:04] information um

[21:07] the if there is information that needs

[21:10] to be shared um

[21:12] obviously myself as the liazon can help

[21:15] be the conduit to get information out to

[21:18] the full commission if that's needed but

[21:21] in between I think your question is

[21:23] coming up

[21:26] really on how to or actually maybe let

[21:30] me make sure that I understand your

[21:31] question um am I understanding your

[21:33] question correctly commissioner Al or or

[21:37] am I missing the

[21:43] point unicate we're not duplicating

[21:47] we're not forgetting things even with

[21:49] working pairs uh and the ad hoc I still

[21:53] feel somewhat Shackled of you can't just

[21:55] come together and go let's have meeting

[21:59] and talk about it and I'll take this and we this needs to be

[22:03] done by this date and you you get a

[22:06] float theun how do we communicate

[22:10] because and and it's where I'm GNA add

[22:13] on is can we get can we work on

[22:17] assumption that the council will approve

[22:20] and we are and today we go I'll work on

[22:22] this working

[22:25] group so let's get the working plan done

[22:28] for somebody the work plan and so that

[22:31] date is final so I I would say um you

[22:35] can have

[22:37] some basic but we would want to hold on

[22:40] to making decisions until the work plan

[22:43] is

[22:44] final um in regards to the communication

[22:48] mechanism the intent of the working pair

[22:51] is that you can meet whether it's a

[22:54] single person or um a two people uh

[22:57] hence the title working pair you can

[23:00] meet as needed to achieve that specific

[23:03] task that you've been assigned now in

[23:06] regards to getting information back to

[23:08] maybe the ad hoc committee that should

[23:11] be done through the commission liaison

[23:13] myself so it it wouldn't because again

[23:17] then it's we get into a little bit of a

[23:19] wonkiness where you have the working

[23:22] pair and if there's then the ad hoc

[23:25] subcommittee which is three that's uh

[23:29] that's a a virtual meeting well let's

[23:32] not forget what she's trying to ask

[23:34] she's trying to get ahead of the game a

[23:36] little bit I think that's a good thing

[23:39] if we can we can start working me with

[23:42] the assumption that the work plan is

[23:44] going to get approved that's not a big

[23:46] leap of Fai so from that point of view

[23:50] why do we start the process of getting

[23:53] at least the agenda the vision the

[23:56] objective of the the the Health Group

[23:58] identified and possibly the pairs that

[24:01] are going to work within that uh

[24:04] framework identified and kept on keep on

[24:07] going because between now and September

[24:09] is not that much time because we have to

[24:11] get hold of vendors we have to identify

[24:13] what what needs to be done should we bring in speakers etc etc it's

[24:19] quite a bit of work to be done and given

[24:21] the fact that we don't meet that

[24:22] often you know just as creating as many

[24:26] meeting as possible is a good thing so

[24:29] anyway are we are we allowed to have

[24:31] zoom meetings can we can we Zoom between

[24:34] the subcommittee and the working

[24:37] pair so to that question so the again

[24:41] your working pair you can meet as needed

[24:44] to work on the task the ad hoc committee

[24:47] the ad hoc subcommittee can meet as

[24:49] needed so whether that's in person or

[24:51] Zoom completely up to the ad hoc

[24:55] subcommittee but the working pairs in

[24:57] the ad talk subcommittee should not be

[25:00] meeting because again that's a quorum

[25:02] and that should be a full commission

[25:04] meeting so there is and that I think was

[25:07] part of what uh uh Vice chair Olen was

[25:10] trying to get at is what is that

[25:12] mechanism for

[25:13] communication between those two and so

[25:16] working through the staff liaison would

[25:19] probably be the best in that fashion but

[25:22] then obviously during our regular

[25:25] meetings I I guess I I don't want the

[25:27] commission to to be afraid that you're

[25:29] only held held to those reg obviously we

[25:33] have our regular meetings which is once

[25:34] a month if it is determined needed that

[25:38] we need to do a special meeting we

[25:40] absolutely can um staff will be here to

[25:43] support um doing these larger scale

[25:47] events um but we have the opportunity it

[25:53] to meet as needed if that comes up um

[25:58] there is time before September

[26:01] potentially October for the um events

[26:04] that the commission is looking to host

[26:07] and so the first part would be to make

[26:10] sure we get through the approval of the

[26:12] work plan and then maybe really to

[26:15] Target so the ad hoc committees it might

[26:18] be good to schedule a meeting um leading

[26:21] into march to maybe Identify some of

[26:24] those working pairs that you might want

[26:26] to task the commission with potentially

[26:30] signing up for um but we can staff can

[26:34] assist in helping working through that

[26:35] as sub committee can the subcommittee

[26:38] meet

[26:40] before yes you can you absolutely can

[26:44] you can have multiple meetings if you

[26:48] want

[26:50] yep so you can do that pre-planning in

[26:53] preparation for March with the hope that

[26:56] the work plan is approved at the end of

[26:59] uh February

[27:03] sure thank you for clarifying yes so

[27:07] first things is somebody going to start

[27:09] a motion to approve this

[27:11] plan I move we approve the work plan I

[27:17] approve all in favor say I I

[27:24] opposing motion carries

[27:31] make that edit though about adding

[27:33] October correct I will add those not

[27:35] correct based upon

[27:41] yes um can we can we ask the question

[27:45] here uh does anybody have any thoughts

[27:48] on what topics we want to cover or what

[27:52] kinds of speakers we want to get so that

[27:55] we can start working pairs

[27:59] so I'm going to add in um I'm part of a

[28:03] group that we're meeting coming up in

[28:07] February

[28:08] 18th and they're talking about starting

[28:12] a and I need to talk to you afterwards

[28:16] because this would be great for adult 50

[28:18] plus but a speaker series for seniors in

[28:22] addition to what you're doing so that it

[28:26] is with with rotary the there's also a

[28:30] group forever

[28:32] active that we have a member dnie herd

[28:36] who has access to a number of seers and

[28:39] then we have our community service

[28:42] director who also has access and so that

[28:45] will

[28:46] be um a good resource for potential

[28:51] speakers want early knowledge of going

[28:54] ahead with making arrangements is that

[28:56] what you're saying it's but I think we

[28:58] also have to figure out what is it what

[29:01] is the goal for divisions of labor who is who is our target market for are

[29:08] we going to have different speakers for

[29:10] different age groups what is the goal

[29:12] for the health fair who are we trying to

[29:15] reach are we going to set it up where

[29:18] we're going for a certain particular age

[29:22] or what are the topics that we feel

[29:25] would be best benefited to

[29:28] I think that gets decided in the first

[29:30] meeting so we have let's have the first

[29:32] meeting we

[29:34] meet sub meeting yeah will determine the

[29:39] answers to your question yeah exactly

[29:42] the only the

[29:44] health but the sub commmittee meeting

[29:46] will only be three

[29:49] people yes so so let's let's four names

[29:55] yeah four no three names is one person

[30:00] yeah well that's what I was asking you

[30:03] can do it now with assumption

[30:05] that so maybe we can get a unofficial

[30:10] nod yes or no from somebody sitting in

[30:12] the room

[30:15] of in we can just talk right now about

[30:19] what

[30:21] top so um the only so the specific topic

[30:26] that we have is the work plan and this

[30:28] is going to get a little bit nuanced too

[30:30] we want to get the we want to get the

[30:33] work plan

[30:34] finalized but in regards to your

[30:36] question commissioner Dixit it's not a

[30:39] um we would want to make sure that we

[30:42] agendize the discussion of the health

[30:44] there if we want to discuss those

[30:46] specific pieces but I think what um

[30:50] commissioner buckolz was indicating is

[30:52] that the the sub the ad hoc subcommittee

[30:55] should meet first and and once we get

[30:59] the approval of the work plan for the

[31:01] meeting in March there can be then a

[31:04] full didn't we just get the that

[31:06] approval from the council from Council

[31:09] so the commission has approved the work

[31:12] plan that they would like to

[31:14] submit um and so the part I'm trying to

[31:17] go towards is commissioner

[31:19] Dixit once we get approval the workr

[31:22] plan from Council at the end of February

[31:26] we can then plan to agend I a larger

[31:29] discussion once the subcommittee the ad

[31:31] hoc subcommittee for the health fair has

[31:33] had a chance to discuss suggestions for

[31:37] purpose pieces that they would like to

[31:40] see it can come back to the full

[31:42] commission for um suggestions discussion

[31:46] for further consideration but that the

[31:50] discussion of the health fair is not a

[31:53] specific agenda topic today it was

[31:56] specific to the workpl

[31:59] may we ask people to send emails to us

[32:03] the

[32:04] speak

[32:07] no it's hard to see each other so I

[32:10] think I was you mentioned the previous

[32:13] Health that there was a lot of

[32:15] information available from it where is

[32:18] that information that say I wanted to

[32:20] read it

[32:22] just so all of that information staff

[32:25] has all of that information and as uh

[32:29] was mentioned previously we will be able

[32:31] to provide all of those contacts for the

[32:34] vendors that were um present at the

[32:39] October meeting or October event

[32:45] I I had a section for speakers we didn't

[32:48] have speakers whatever they did I was

[32:51] just curious and who were the vendors

[32:54] what type of

[32:55] vendors she'll be able to give that to you once it's been approved right

[33:01] correct do

[33:03] it oh no absolutely that information can

[33:06] be shared with the um with the ad hoc

[33:21] subcommittee that that information can

[33:23] be provided

[33:28] we're all going to be essentially

[33:29] working on this

[33:31] whether we can share it with the full

[33:34] commission that's not a

[33:35] problem but it would be uh and I guess

[33:38] it would depend on um obviously the the

[33:42] ad hoc subcommittee can utilize that

[33:44] information and then it could

[33:46] potentially be expanded upon um

[33:48] depending if the ad hoc committee takes

[33:50] that on or if an a working pair is

[33:52] assigned to to work on that as well

[33:55] too I guess my request for today was

[33:59] steming from the fact that if the ad hoc

[34:01] committee meets at any time before our

[34:03] next full commission meeting we who are

[34:07] not part of that ad hoc committee will

[34:08] not have our chance to say our wonderful

[34:12] suggestions that they should have

[34:15] because we think we have wonderful

[34:16] suggestions so if the adop committee

[34:19] meets without those suggestions

[34:20] potentially those aspects won't get

[34:23] covered and that's why I wanted to run

[34:27] ahead and talk about it now but I

[34:30] understand those are rules so no and

[34:33] again that can be agendized for March so

[34:36] that um again the ad hoc committee can

[34:39] make recommendations but the commission

[34:41] at that point when it's agend uh

[34:44] potentially for March you would be able

[34:46] to share that information at that time

[34:48] too she mustn't do it before the

[34:50] subcommittee meets I know this is

[34:52] sounding a lot like the the stuff that's

[34:55] going on in our federal government

[34:59] seriously it's not quite that bad can we

[35:02] talk about what we want this thing to be

[35:05] and just say we want to have these kind

[35:07] of vendors we want to have these kind of

[35:10] topics there is wisdom at the other end

[35:13] of the

[35:16] take suggestion I don't know if it's okay or not but would it be okay if

[35:22] we communicated through email if they

[35:25] individually s not as the group

[35:28] individually send emails to the three of

[35:31] us that are on the ad hoc committee with

[35:33] their ideas what people would like to do

[35:36] what they you know so it's not

[35:39] interactive they have to go through you

[35:42] be better and I I I know it

[35:46] feels limiting in that sense but at the

[35:50] Crux of it is to make sure that it's a

[35:53] transparent process for the public to be

[35:55] a part of it and I think that's the the big part of it is that when it's

[36:02] these individual emails or meetings or

[36:05] it is not agendized or put on an agenda

[36:09] so that the public knows that they can

[36:11] then be a part of that conversation

[36:13] either through public comment or be part

[36:16] of that discussion that's the part that

[36:18] we're trying to make sure is achieved

[36:21] that it is an open process I know

[36:24] initially and I think that's why I want

[36:26] to elay the commission's fears that I

[36:29] know we are in February but I think

[36:33] process-wise we will have ample time to

[36:36] have that discussion and we'll we'll

[36:40] start those basic pieces but again we

[36:43] want to make sure that the work plan is

[36:46] approved first you can do some basic

[36:49] planning with the assumption that the council will be good with these

[36:55] um pieces that you're putting forward in

[36:57] the work work plan and all of those

[36:59] discussions can happen at the March

[37:02] meeting it just means that the ad hoc

[37:04] committees that have been assigned

[37:06] should do some work this month so that

[37:10] come March you can make some

[37:12] recommendations for what those what

[37:15] support you might need through working

[37:18] pairs or Commissioners that are not part

[37:22] of the ad hoc subcommittees you can then

[37:25] make recommendations like I would love

[37:27] to be a part of selecting vendors or

[37:30] coming up with topics I'm just using the

[37:32] healthare because that seems to be the

[37:34] topic of most interest at this point but

[37:37] then you can make um suggestions of I'm

[37:40] really passionate about this and would

[37:42] love to assist with this specific can

[37:45] send that to

[37:48] you okay yes and that can be in

[37:50] preparation for March once all of these

[37:54] pieces fall into place

[37:57] will you will you insert that in the

[37:59] agenda packet for March the suggestions

[38:01] that you get from Individual emails to

[38:03] you will we know absolutely if there are suggestions or reports and

[38:11] um us as staff usually reach out ahead

[38:14] of the um putting the packet together to

[38:17] see if there are any reports by the

[38:19] subcommittee so that can be included as

[38:22] well to make sure that the discussion in

[38:25] March is is as pointed as it can be do

[38:30] we need to agenda that formally for

[38:34] March on on fut agenda yes page two of

[38:39] the agenda it's on

[38:41] now I'm

[38:45] here did you want

[38:47] say so Jim are you on the committee oh

[38:52] yes I am what what what was what's the

[38:56] question when their next meeting with

[38:58] the that I guess this came up last in

[39:01] the last meeting I think the idea was

[39:04] the subcommittee would be not fully

[39:07] empowered to run this this threat but is

[39:11] empowered to come up with ideas that we

[39:14] can then bring to commission and discuss

[39:16] it as a commission so the first meeting

[39:18] of sub subcommittee ought to be done as

[39:21] soon as possible in order to have

[39:23] something to discuss with the full

[39:24] commission in J in March so if that is

[39:27] the case then um what we what we

[39:30] expecting to happen hopefully is within

[39:33] the next week or

[39:34] so the members sub

[39:38] committee can you wait for a

[39:41] second members of subcommittee in

[39:43] addition to an staff member get together

[39:46] and go through the objective setting the

[39:49] agendas what what we do and more or less

[39:51] get to a point where we have we are at a

[39:54] pretty good first base to bring it to

[39:56] the commission

[39:57] in March so I think the B is in your

[40:00] court to get us together

[40:03] right yes we can be CH okay thank you I

[40:07] just say an obvious thing it's called

[40:08] the health fair so I'm assuming all the

[40:11] topics should be related somehow with

[40:15] help well I have a topic that you'll

[40:17] never think of and that's I think we

[40:19] should do something on AI and help

[40:23] because that's the thing that everybody

[40:26] is interested in right

[40:31] now we had a terrific lecture after the

[40:35] lunch AI for seniors it was amazing it

[40:37] was great so you know it so yeah an

[40:41] example just email I'm doing that at my

[40:45] senior place on AI not that talk but

[40:49] another talk on AI

[40:52] very di the help and that draws people

[40:55] it would be amazed some many people came

[40:58] to the AI for seniors it wasn't a place

[41:01] to

[41:03] sit okay any other comments I'm just

[41:06] wondering if Sally might have any

[41:09] comments or thoughts regarding

[41:10] healthcare what what you might know

[41:15] of from your input from being on the

[41:19] council and talking to people and maybe

[41:22] questions that might come up because if

[41:24] we're in the planning stage additional

[41:26] input would be

[41:29] appreciated I'm in a caveat anything I

[41:32] ever say with this commission is my

[41:34] input and what you're ideally going to

[41:37] get is Council input um so I can make

[41:41] recommendations but I don't speak for

[41:43] the council per

[41:46] se so I didn't attend that healthare I I

[41:50] didn't um for whatever reason I didn't

[41:54] actually I knew it was going on but not

[41:56] kind of till the last minute so I hadn't

[41:58] if it's not in my calendar it doesn't

[42:00] exist right um so I I don't feel I can

[42:04] really give you uh great input but I

[42:08] know it's certainly a topic that

[42:11] everyone's interested in I imagine that

[42:14] Council would be interested one thing

[42:16] when you do talk about your work plan

[42:18] and the health fair appears to be a big

[42:20] part of that is and you talk about

[42:24] Council approving work plans it's not

[42:26] been and we've gotten into trouble with

[42:28] this including recently it's not been

[42:32] explicit in many cases we have a nice

[42:35] conversation thank you this was great

[42:38] and then we don't necessarily approve it

[42:43] explicitly and so if I were the chair

[42:46] assuming you can be there um Jane I

[42:50] would

[42:51] say if we don't ask it because I'm very

[42:54] attuned to it now a lot of commissions

[42:56] walk out and think their plan is

[42:58] approved and but we don't go through a

[43:00] formal process so I would be willing to

[43:03] ask if if for example myself being

[43:06] sensitized don't

[43:07] say Council you want to find out council

[43:11] do you approve this work

[43:13] plan because there are examples where

[43:16] Council said oh you need to prioritize

[43:19] there's too much in here and then that

[43:21] Loof is never closed and then the

[43:24] commission we we so if we don't have ask

[43:27] you first or state first please do ask

[43:31] because it's important and then because

[43:34] we can go back and watch that video and

[43:35] say Council explicitly approved this

[43:37] work

[43:39] plan so I I would do that that's just

[43:42] you know from experience and if the

[43:45] health care um if the

[43:48] healthare is a big part of it then

[43:51] identify that say here's our biggest

[43:53] project for the year here's some other

[43:56] things we're going to be doing you know

[43:57] partnering this doing these events

[43:59] whatever so just really make it um spell

[44:02] it out clear and and how important

[44:05] because I think the council will not

[44:08] have no problem now I'm speaking for

[44:09] myself projecting to the council but

[44:12] they should probably we should probably

[44:13] have no problems um with what you put

[44:17] together but Clarity is often lacking

[44:20] after these meetings so there's my tip

[44:27] yeah yeah thank you so much

[44:32] sample put it on the agenda please for

[44:35] March that we will be talking about this

[44:37] after your

[44:38] subcommittee it's not on the agenda yet

[44:41] for March let's see somebody do the

[44:45] formal

[44:46] things move that we

[44:49] discuss so that it is currently planned

[44:52] and also too we can uh we can make sure

[44:56] that the next meeting in March um when

[44:59] we have that discussion at the end for

[45:01] future agenda topics that we make sure

[45:03] to hit that as

[45:06] well

[45:15] yes we

[45:16] good is there anything else about the

[45:18] work

[45:25] plan I

[45:28] um I met with staff and Jamie and

[45:33] discussing

[45:34] [Music]

[45:37] um has seized the benefit of um social

[45:43] activity for seniors and support the uh

[45:48] Halloween fling and initially supporting

[45:52] the

[45:53] springling um and so we talked about

[45:58] what Club 55 would be in charge of and

[46:01] then also what the city would be in

[46:03] charge of um it does need to get

[46:07] approved in June but it's

[46:11] where it

[46:13] filling our action plan and Community it

[46:17] seems to be totally in line and so I'm

[46:20] meeting with

[46:22] public5 on Wednesday and getting more

[46:26] information because it's it's um working

[46:29] with them and um getting more details

[46:33] and so so may I ask what Club 55

[46:39] does sure the Club 55 originated back in

[46:44] 2011 after the first action plan that

[46:48] was approved by

[46:52] um by the city it was when they talked

[46:56] with senior seniors basically wanted a

[46:59] time and a place to get together and

[47:00] just chat sit and have a beer or

[47:03] whatever so they would they started

[47:05] meeting behind the costume bank and you

[47:09] bring you bring a bottle of wine to

[47:11] shares and they themselves were

[47:14] supporting it with with some food and so

[47:17] it just became a regular thing monthly

[47:21] and it became the community of

[47:27] so it has

[47:30] um been it has worked with the Community

[47:35] Foundation they work greatly with the

[47:37] city and the city supports it and now

[47:41] they are holding the once a month from

[47:43] April through October the third Friday

[47:47] uh here and so the city has been a great

[47:52] help um and so the thought is just to

[47:56] bring back the Spring Fling was the

[47:59] whole purpose where City also backed it

[48:03] back then back in

[48:07] 2000 2018 so and that was put on by the

[48:10] senior commission so the senior

[48:13] commission has been lowkey for a while

[48:17] and it's another way to bring the

[48:21] community together so I if I understand

[48:24] senior commission would help with Club

[48:27] 55 hosting from April through October

[48:30] once a month no not alone no just the

[48:34] senior commission is helping with the

[48:35] Halloween fling and and then if that

[48:40] goes well the Spring Fling in 20125 and

[48:44] then we'll see where it goes from there

[48:47] but 26 excuse me uh and so it's a way of

[48:52] supporting the community and building

[48:54] the community those

[48:58] W so October will be very active

[49:02] for

[49:04] why the discussion of moving the health

[49:06] fair having it in September because then

[49:09] we have something in October and so that

[49:13] way you can spread the wealth ofor

[49:15] commission if you want to be healthy or

[49:18] have

[49:21] fun yeah can you say when is the

[49:25] Halloween f October

[49:29] 17th the third Friday it's in

[49:32] conjunction with first

[49:36] the first first Friday I'm getting that

[49:39] third Friday third Friday yeah 55 to

[49:43] Friday of the

[49:51] month there a history with Club 55 with

[49:55] the city would

[49:57] um adult 50 plus and so

[50:02] just yeah it was it was one of the um

[50:06] agenda items on the P for this week it's

[50:09] agenda item number three there's a

[50:11] summary about it so take a key because

[50:14] it gives you a little bit more

[50:15] information that might

[50:20] help so those are the two main things I

[50:24] three because of the sprinkling too but

[50:26] is there anything else that we need

[50:29] to discuss just for

[50:33] clarification one of the things that

[50:36] will be presented at the Joint council

[50:39] meeting will be a presentation from the

[50:43] adhoc committee on the health

[50:50] s so uh so quick so quick question um or

[50:55] it have we moved to item three or are we

[51:00] still

[51:01] [Music]

[51:03] on we have so um the the and that I'll

[51:07] be able to answer your question um

[51:10] commissioner Buck Hol so um item three

[51:14] is specifically to prepare for your

[51:17] joint meeting with city council um so

[51:20] there is um a number of commissions that

[51:24] will be presenting between six and 7

[51:27] p.m. on Tuesday February 25th that is

[51:31] the second meeting for city council this

[51:34] month um essentially each commission

[51:38] will have between 10 to I would say

[51:42] maybe at the highest maybe 15 minutes um

[51:45] and within that time frame there are two

[51:50] recommended areas is first to talk about

[51:53] what was accomplished in the last term

[51:57] and so in your packet I did include the

[52:00] last work plan which included all of the

[52:03] items um that were completed and then a

[52:07] conversation of the current work plan so

[52:11] because of the condensed time

[52:15] frame I I think we want to and that's

[52:18] part of where the commission would need

[52:20] to determine is maybe what who's going

[52:24] to say what who is going to to cover

[52:27] what so that there are some specific

[52:29] time frames so that we can stay within

[52:32] that 10 to 10 to 15 minutes that have

[52:35] been allotted for each commission during

[52:38] that time frame so I if there is an

[52:42] interest from the commission to do a

[52:44] focus on the healthare you can determine

[52:48] that um but my point is that you have a

[52:52] finite time and you want to make sure

[52:55] you cover what was accomplished where

[52:58] you would like to go and those um as uh

[53:02] Council me member Meadows highlighted if

[53:05] there is something specific like

[53:07] approving the work plan or if there is a

[53:11] really important piece you want to get

[53:13] across if it is the health fair or the

[53:15] collaboration with Club

[53:17] 55 this is the time to kind of identify

[53:21] who is and what points would be brought

[53:23] up during that uh conversation or

[53:26] discuss

[53:28] so I with that I will turn that back

[53:30] over

[53:31] to to attend the

[53:38] [Music]

[53:39] meeting Tuesday February 25th at 6

[53:45] PM they moved it up because that wasn't

[53:48] going to be enough time for all the

[53:49] people but anyway okay so we need a

[53:52] structure so we usually go first senior

[53:54] commission usually goes first so we're

[53:55] hoping for that that and um so the

[53:59] structure would be

[54:02] um thank you all thank you so much for

[54:05] inviting us to this um what we want to

[54:08] do first is review things that we've

[54:09] completed over the last year and the

[54:12] main thing that we've completed is the

[54:15] age friendly uh project with the action

[54:18] plan I mean that was Major Beyond major

[54:21] and um we did have a consultant but

[54:23] there was tons of work that we did and

[54:26] we're going forward with the action plan

[54:28] it's not really one the work plan yet

[54:31] some of this stuff is drawn from it but

[54:34] anyway so that that's the that's the

[54:36] historical what we've completed already

[54:39] does anybody else have anything else

[54:40] that they think should be covered under

[54:43] that a previous healthare

[55:02] but it was at

[55:07] thei no actually

[55:12] um anything

[55:14] else context for

[55:17] our emphasis on another house

[55:20] there because we are continuing this

[55:23] that's that's going to be on our work

[55:25] plan going forward so that second part

[55:28] two part one is the historical what

[55:30] we've done so far and

[55:34] health

[55:36] heal was part of our

[55:39] history the age friendly project with

[55:42] developing of the action plan and and

[55:45] the previous health fair those are the

[55:46] two also what else wanted to add that

[55:50] you know when we were working on the age

[55:52] Trend plan um we had a chance to

[55:55] interview

[55:57] several of the groups that meet here

[55:59] during the senior commission or the

[56:01] adult 50 plus and some of the topics

[56:04] that uh we they suggested including uh

[56:09] having speakers for the health care so

[56:12] that is also part of the history that

[56:13] we've already done and we're progressing

[56:15] towards

[56:18] okay but adding the speaker idea with

[56:21] Topic in addition to the exhib

[56:29] anything else okay so then going forward

[56:33] we're going to be looking at the newest

[56:35] work plan going the one we have active

[56:38] now and the two major things are the

[56:41] healthare and the Club 55 project those

[56:45] two

[56:52] things so um on the age friendly does

[56:57] anyone want to discuss

[57:00] that I I'll take that one okay I'll take

[57:04] that one and then what about can someone

[57:07] describe the the U previous health

[57:10] fair who ATT I did did was I the only

[57:15] one you got two

[57:17] chances but I can't oh you can't

[57:21] be okay um

[57:26] okay so so then I was the only one okay

[57:29] well pencil me in but you know I don't

[57:32] want to bore them to tears with my voice

[57:34] anyway and then adding the speaker you

[57:38] GNA be there who is g to be there raise

[57:40] your hand you GNA be there three

[57:45] people

[57:47] okay okay so um bill can you talk about

[57:51] that adding the speakers on to the

[57:53] healthcare part yes okay

[57:58] so how much time do we have the whole

[58:00] thing is 15 minutes so it's like three

[58:02] minutes two minutes you know four and

[58:04] they might have questions to in between

[58:07] sometimes we pause so we have to that

[58:10] too contrary to the popular Bel I can be

[58:16] tur well you can be brief without being

[58:19] tur so I know you

[58:22] okay let's not alienate the council um

[58:26] okay so then going

[58:28] forward the health there going forward

[58:31] anyone talk about

[58:35] that bill okay and then the Club

[58:38] 55 Chris you're not going to be there so

[58:41] who else no one knows about it then I

[58:42] guess well we're working together okay

[58:44] so can you up can you get up can you

[58:46] read the hand out and then maybe talk to

[58:48] Chris a little bit and let her she'll

[58:50] give maybe you can give some bullet

[58:51] points that's all we need to have bullet

[58:53] points so we can make the points that we

[58:55] want

[58:56] make when you say presentation inste

[58:59] like a PowerPoint no it's

[59:03] not have the written thing in front of

[59:05] them the work plan and they sit like

[59:08] that part and then we come up when they

[59:11] call us we come up and we have chairs

[59:14] right this is the way it was before we

[59:16] have chairs right before them and

[59:19] there's a little there's more distance

[59:20] it's a wider table so you're not right

[59:22] on top of them and then um they welcome

[59:25] us and then I've done it before in

[59:27] another commission okay good kept saying

[59:29] bullet point so I thinking just power

[59:34] just so that we don't go you know on and

[59:36] on now we don't need we don't need a

[59:37] power point so just to be keep yourself

[59:42] concise because it's going to get

[59:44] expanded somehow anyway and then they're

[59:46] going to ask

[59:48] questions okay so let's see so the

[1:06:50] current I'll make sure you have

[1:06:52] it what this um the National walking day

[1:06:56] involves Grand Park you walk around

[1:07:00] Grant Park yes so we have a couple of

[1:07:03] different volunteer leaders who are

[1:07:04] going to be hosting different walks

[1:07:06] different speeds um um you know Walkers

[1:07:11] wheelchairs we're going to have a very

[1:07:13] accessible looping path so so we're not

[1:07:15] going to go across the town we'll just

[1:07:17] stay we'll have a loop so you'll never

[1:07:19] be more than away from water and

[1:07:21] restrooms for some of the moderate and

[1:07:24] to Advanced Walkers we have have some

[1:07:25] different Loops available inside of

[1:07:28] Grand Park the whole time no we plan to

[1:07:31] have uh some guides down to the city

[1:07:35] streets it'll be all flat walk yes I'm

[1:07:38] going to encourage everyone although I

[1:07:40] don't want to do it

[1:07:41] but I

[1:07:43] just um and then with that um we do have

[1:07:48] um Amina uh from Los Altos Hills um and

[1:07:52] she can share the information on the

[1:07:54] Flyers specifically to Hill hello

[1:07:58] everyone so um what you have in front of

[1:08:00] you is the drive-thru shred event flyer

[1:08:04] um this is actually exclusive only to

[1:08:06] lasos Hills residents um but if you are

[1:08:09] a resident feel free to come to town

[1:08:11] hall on March 22nd from 8:00 a.m. to

[1:08:14] 11:00 a.m. um we will have a big uh

[1:08:19] truck that shreds documents there and

[1:08:21] one big difference this time around is

[1:08:23] that you're allowed to bring up to 15

[1:08:26] boxes where in the past um you were only

[1:08:28] allowed to bring five so that's a huge

[1:08:31] increase but um we figured there's there

[1:08:33] tends to be a lot of space in the truck

[1:08:35] left over so we decided to increase it

[1:08:38] this

[1:08:41] year thank

[1:08:45] you that that is available to residents

[1:08:49] of losos

[1:08:51] as no it is specific to Los Altos Hills

[1:08:54] residents and I know there has been um

[1:08:58] some individuals have expressed an

[1:09:00] interest in having um the city of Los

[1:09:02] Altos host something so that is

[1:09:04] something that we can take a look at but

[1:09:06] the one that um Amina mentioned is

[1:09:10] specific to

[1:09:15] Los all

[1:09:19] right

[1:09:21] okay that is it any any questions on um

[1:09:26] any of the event information that we've

[1:09:29] shared

[1:09:32] okay to um future agenda items oh we

[1:09:37] have um

[1:09:39] stock just one um and it is just to

[1:09:42] share that we have um our spring summer

[1:10:43] my only other additional update just

[1:10:45] make an observation uh very nice

[1:10:47] observation in the winter guide the

[1:10:51] front page had a little lady who hails

[1:10:54] from India

[1:10:56] and she comes to play yeah exactly and

[1:11:00] uh many of us know her but in her Indian

[1:11:03] sori attire not playing games with other

[1:11:06] people that kind of thing but it has

[1:11:08] generated such a positive response to

[1:11:10] see her there and it was you know

[1:11:13] unbeknownst to her that somebody took a

[1:11:15] picture now a lot of people want to

[1:11:17] participate and come out and so I think

[1:11:20] it's very positive very positive thday

[1:11:23] morning th

[1:11:26] wonderful to hear thank you Center in

[1:11:29] that picture it's so

[1:11:31] cute okay thank you okay any other oral

[1:11:34] anything else we good okay then we're

[1:11:37] moving on

[1:11:39] to sub committee reports I don't think

[1:11:41] we have any we already kind of discussed

[1:11:44] that okay let's move on to Future gender

[1:11:46] items the work plan is still on the

[1:11:49] health fair will be on and um do we need

[1:11:53] a b cling on for next time

[1:11:56] too it's okay is there anything else

[1:12:00] that we have to um put on for March go

[1:12:03] ahead I know that

[1:12:08] the healthare is going to have

[1:12:11] speakers you

[1:12:14] know I have a strong feeling that it

[1:12:18] will

[1:12:19] include go

[1:12:22] ahead is there a way of t

[1:12:26] multiple sources of speakers we talked

[1:12:29] about having the speaker

[1:12:32] series uh and this would

[1:12:34] be basically from my network of Health

[1:12:39] Care

[1:12:40] people

[1:12:42] um is this something that we would want

[1:12:47] to have is this ongoing service to the

[1:12:52] community

[1:12:55] that we would have a speaker

[1:12:57] series well there's speakers already

[1:13:00] once a month in conjunction with the

[1:13:03] lunch but at the community center um

[1:13:06] there are speakers at various other

[1:13:09] venues like

[1:13:11] aanas they have an AI talk also um

[1:13:16] there's other outfits that I want to

[1:13:20] have speakers on different topics so I'm

[1:13:23] not sure if you're say the was

[1:13:25] sponsoring that the question is should

[1:13:29] we have a

[1:13:33] non-competing speaker series maybe a

[1:13:36] couple times a

[1:13:38] month so it's it's outside of the

[1:13:41] boundaries of the healthare it's a new

[1:13:43] topic you're talking about so that would

[1:13:45] be so would you like to add that on to

[1:13:46] the Future agenda items a speaker series

[1:13:49] that be very nice so it sounds like and

[1:13:52] we have at least three Commissioners

[1:13:54] that are interested an agenda

[1:13:59] okay anybody

[1:14:02] else I would say that would be something

[1:14:05] to work closely with Chris on because he

[1:14:08] has the speakers currently and it would

[1:14:11] be potentially an

[1:14:14] ad not

[1:14:16] necessarily uh buting H right know and

[1:14:21] what we could do um Logistics wise is

[1:14:25] the commission could have a discussion

[1:14:28] on recommend uh recommendations for

[1:14:31] different topics and then that could be

[1:14:34] forwarded to City staff um to take into

[1:14:37] consideration as they're programming

[1:14:39] those a variety of things because as um

[1:14:43] Vice chair olon mentioned uh we do um a

[1:14:47] handful and if there are recommendations

[1:14:49] by the commission to maybe increase

[1:14:51] frequency or the types or topics um that

[1:14:55] could be part of the

[1:14:57] discussion thinking

[1:15:02] frequency we're gonna talk about because

[1:15:05] things are changing pretty fast yes

[1:15:10] sure just as the last thing Sally we'

[1:15:13] like to welcome you again to join our

[1:15:15] convention we so excited and we're

[1:15:17] really happy that you chose us that's

[1:15:19] wonderful and we're wondering if you

[1:15:22] might have any suggestions at this point

[1:15:24] or we know your first meeting

[1:15:27] and but we'll see you at the at the

[1:15:29] Joint meeting yeah that's what I was
