1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,340
I'm sorry.

2
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:03,120
I'm sorry.

3
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:09,140
President Alvarado?

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:10,440
I'm here.

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,980
Vice President Sudeck?

6
00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:17,100
Director Stanley?

7
00:00:24,940 --> 00:00:25,960
Is Dr. Martin Lutheran?

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,600
Is she muted by chance?

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,080
No, her, for some reason, she doesn't have audio.

10
00:00:31,780 --> 00:00:32,840
Yeah, triple shooter.

11
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:36,700
Justin, are you able to help her?

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,600
Yeah, I'm going to work on that.

13
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:41,920
I'm going to go ahead, Director Weiner.

14
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:43,080
Here.

15
00:00:43,820 --> 00:00:45,100
And Director's a Peta.

16
00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:45,900
Here.

17
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:47,580
Okay.

18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:48,660
Okay.

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,260
Seeing we have a column next item, please.

20
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:55,740
Head of Allegiance or an observation of a moment of silence, please.

21
00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:57,060
Okay.

22
00:00:57,340 --> 00:00:58,480
I pledge allegiance.

23
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,980
Do you not have to say to the flag?

24
00:01:02,580 --> 00:01:02,920
I'll be not.

25
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,980
To the Republic.

26
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:07,420
the West stand, one action.

27
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,720
I don't know if there is a little place to go.

28
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:13,040
Just for all.

29
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,900
Excitement, please.

30
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:15,720
Thanks.

31
00:01:16,060 --> 00:01:17,800
The item is the approval of the agenda.

32
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:23,900
Any member, the board may request an agenda item be postponed, removed or heard out of order.

33
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:28,680
Any item may not be added to the agenda unless it meets the requirements of an emergency

34
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:36,040
situation is defined in government code section 54956.5.

35
00:01:37,140 --> 00:01:42,860
Okay, so I have another question on the staff to remove item 5G, which we're about

36
00:01:42,860 --> 00:01:48,320
the resolution, authorizing the general manager for a mental part program and approve

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:55,720
an amendment to the Bainel budget by $1,000 to fund the part program and you're ending

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,180
In 2021, I have a second.

39
00:01:59,200 --> 00:01:59,900
Second.

40
00:02:01,940 --> 00:02:03,000
These take the role.

41
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:06,660
Sorry.

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,400
President Alvarado?

43
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:12,380
Yes.

44
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:14,940
Vice President Sude.

45
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,240
Director Weiner.

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,040
Yes.

47
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:20,820
Directors of Pena.

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Yes.

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,240
And has Director Stanley joined us.

50
00:02:29,660 --> 00:02:33,800
She shows a lot. Yes, she's showing up. Let me, um,

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,220
I'm mute. Okay. She's calling in through audio, so I don't know if this one's working. Okay.

52
00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:42,720
She's in here. We've got 40. Next item, please.

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,700
Number three is public comments.

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,980
Items not on the agenda. I did not receive any comments. Would you like me to proceed?

55
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,760
Yes, proceed. Item four. Adam four is the consent calendars. Matters on the consent calendar are

56
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,940
considered routine and will be applied without approved without discussion. Prior to approval

57
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:12,540
of the consent calendar, a member of the board may request an item be removed for discussion.

58
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:17,520
If a member of the public would like to speak to an item on the consent calendar,

59
00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:23,600
the members should email the board clerk, which is made prior to the start of the meeting,

60
00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:25,600
I did not receive anything, sir.

61
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,020
Okay, what is the wish of the body?

62
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:30,920
Can I have motion to approve the motion?

63
00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:33,380
Make a motion to approve the consent calendar.

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Okay, can you get a second please?

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,140
Okay.

66
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:39,710
Who said that I'm sorry?

67
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:41,210
Director Reiner.

68
00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:42,710
Thank you.

69
00:03:42,850 --> 00:03:43,030
I see.

70
00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:44,770
It's been moved in a second, did?

71
00:03:44,950 --> 00:03:45,890
Please take the roll.

72
00:03:47,630 --> 00:03:48,550
President Alvarado?

73
00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:49,590
Yes.

74
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:52,790
Vice President Suda?

75
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:58,850
Sorry, I mean.

76
00:04:01,670 --> 00:04:03,070
Nice president suited.

77
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:06,450
Both of us. Okay, thank you.

78
00:04:09,550 --> 00:04:11,270
Director Winner? Yes.

79
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:13,930
Directors of Peda? Yes.

80
00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:15,870
And was that director Stanley?

81
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:19,710
Okay, thank you.

82
00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:21,770
Okay, next time I'm happy to see you unanimously.

83
00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:27,330
Do I need to read the A and the B?

84
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:32,270
For the consent calendar.

85
00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:34,110
Now you get it.

86
00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:35,590
Thank you.

87
00:04:36,210 --> 00:04:38,150
Number five is the action calendar.

88
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:42,150
The board will discuss and seek public input before taking action.

89
00:04:42,450 --> 00:04:49,190
Section A is adopt a resolution of proving a new job classification and specification of health and safety coordinator.

90
00:04:49,690 --> 00:04:56,130
Authorizing the amendment of the fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 position control list.

91
00:04:56,130 --> 00:05:00,830
and wage schedule effective may 20, 20, 20.

92
00:05:01,250 --> 00:05:03,630
Okay, who from staff is presenting this?

93
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:06,750
I will be presenting, good evening.

94
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:12,130
Is that the pipes or is that the Brown Act?

95
00:05:12,670 --> 00:05:12,930
Neither.

96
00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:16,190
This is the Health and Safety Coordinator.

97
00:05:16,930 --> 00:05:18,270
Okay, sorry about that.

98
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:21,230
So, good evening.

99
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:23,510
Just a level administrative services department manager.

100
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:28,790
I'll just briefly introduce this item, and then we can kind of over to questions.

101
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:35,910
So we are, we have looked at, we were hiring a health and safety manager with certain

102
00:05:35,910 --> 00:05:41,770
new existing classification, and we've had a struggle of finding enough candidates for

103
00:05:41,770 --> 00:05:42,650
that position.

104
00:05:42,990 --> 00:05:50,810
And so, you know, working with Andrew, we have come up with a slightly lower classification

105
00:05:50,810 --> 00:05:56,550
with the Health and Safety Coordinator, we feel we'll have a better and bigger pool of candidates

106
00:05:56,550 --> 00:06:00,550
that could fulfill the type of position that we're looking for.

107
00:06:00,650 --> 00:06:06,830
And so this action tonight is to approve a job classification for Health and Safety Coordinator

108
00:06:06,830 --> 00:06:08,970
and the Associate Salary Schedule.

109
00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:13,930
So what we intend to do is that we would not hire the manager position, but then we would just

110
00:06:13,930 --> 00:06:22,110
higher at this coordinator position. And you can answer any specific questions that you have about this.

111
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:27,370
And you have more further comments or can we go to questions?

112
00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:33,650
No, I think you can proceed straight to questions. The report and the rationale I think is pretty straightforward.

113
00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:36,350
Sounds good. Director Sandy, please.

114
00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:40,220
We have to thank you.

115
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,400
Director Weiner.

116
00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:46,240
I have no questions.

117
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:48,380
I will move the question.

118
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,680
as soon as I check for the other directions.

119
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:53,940
Thank you.

120
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:56,020
Director Spade it.

121
00:06:56,180 --> 00:06:56,700
No questions.

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,080
Vice President Solace?

123
00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:01,580
No, sir.

124
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:02,700
All right.

125
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:03,300
I'm good.

126
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:03,880
One question.

127
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:04,880
Actually, one question.

128
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,680
When will this be posted?

129
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:16,760
We're not exactly sure when we're posting it yet. We wanted to make sure that we had the flexibility to have this position available.

130
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:24,800
The first thing I want to do is make sure that we get a little assistance in putting together a work plan for the new coordinator

131
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,380
and get a little assistance from some consulting resources that are not hiring a manager.

132
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,640
I'm going to be asking an awful lot of this position. So I want to have a little bit more of a roadmap in place because I want to set them up for success

133
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,740
ask rather than have them come in here and get overwhelmed, because we are hiring at a slightly

134
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:47,600
lower class and we're looking at a different talent pool and are going to be looking

135
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,920
and willing to hire somebody with the ability, with the attitude and with the experience enough

136
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,440
that we know we can train them and have them be the right person that's going to fit and grow into

137
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:04,680
the position as opposed to a manager, one of which we did find, but then they decided they didn't want

138
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,420
position that we could just plug in and they could start to go and I think that depends

139
00:08:10,420 --> 00:08:15,180
if we I don't expect to find that person with this category. So we want to make sure we

140
00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:23,160
set them up well. And also just if I can add to it in terms of recruitment right now in general

141
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,080
we've slowed down our recruitment wanting to make sure that we don't it's very difficult to

142
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,960
bring someone we have onboarded people at this point but it's because they were hired

143
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:40,080
prior to the pandemic. So we are being very cautious about

144
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,660
recruitment and bringing people on during this time and we're doing a very

145
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:48,920
selectively because we also want to minimize the number of people that are

146
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:54,720
onsite as well as, obviously, starting in the midst of this is difficult.

147
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:02,280
So we're evaluating it by position. So we will take the same view with this position

148
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,880
in consideration with what Andrew is saying.

149
00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:07,520
Thank you.

150
00:09:10,410 --> 00:09:11,850
Questions in front of us, is that good?

151
00:09:12,410 --> 00:09:13,390
Yes, sir, thank you.

152
00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:15,410
Okay, I have no questions.

153
00:09:16,830 --> 00:09:17,650
Can I get a motion?

154
00:09:18,890 --> 00:09:19,670
I moved it.

155
00:09:20,950 --> 00:09:21,210
Sorry.

156
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,480
I mean, I need to know who did work.

157
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,340
I moved in the adopted resolution of proving

158
00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:34,740
a new class classification on specification

159
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:41,320
of health and safety coordinator, authorizing amendment of the fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year

160
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:49,380
2021 position control this wage schedule effective in the 2020 2020.

161
00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:52,320
Thank you, Derek. Do we know can I get a second?

162
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,280
Second.

163
00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:59,700
Was that was that vice president?

164
00:10:00,380 --> 00:10:02,700
Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

165
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:04,540
Okay, please take the roll.

166
00:10:07,070 --> 00:10:09,510
That would be President Alvarado?

167
00:10:10,590 --> 00:10:10,750
Yes.

168
00:10:12,250 --> 00:10:13,390
Vice President Sudan?

169
00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:17,840
Director Stanley?

170
00:10:19,060 --> 00:10:19,380
Nope.

171
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,400
Director Wainer?

172
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:23,900
Yes.

173
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,880
And directors of Payda?

174
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:28,900
Yes.

175
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,520
Okay, that's not unanimously.

176
00:10:32,660 --> 00:10:37,600
The next item is to adopt a resolution authorizing the general manager to execute an

177
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:47,520
amendment to the contract with Signaro, WWT, incorporated by $212,053 to complete the cleaning

178
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:55,260
and solid removal for critical water quality and resource recovery plant infrastructure for a total

179
00:10:55,260 --> 00:10:59,180
I'm going to have to exceed 366,073.

180
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:03,600
Was that any other side of them?

181
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,960
That would be me, President Alvarado,

182
00:11:06,220 --> 00:11:10,380
Zaryn Weiner, would be water quality department.

183
00:11:11,060 --> 00:11:12,420
Good evening, directors.

184
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,020
And do you want me to run?

185
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,180
Do you want me to run a thing for you?

186
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:22,540
I've got two items that are waiting for presentations.

187
00:11:22,940 --> 00:11:24,900
Do you want me to run that or do you want to run it?

188
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:31,460
I'm sorry, I'm not following the question.

189
00:11:32,380 --> 00:11:34,240
Do you want me to share my screen?

190
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:36,980
No, actually, I haven't read any.

191
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,280
Thank you on my screen.

192
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:39,020
Thank you.

193
00:11:39,380 --> 00:11:39,960
No problem.

194
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:46,360
So about a month ago, early in April, we came to you with a proposal for

195
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,580
Digester Cleaning from Citagreau.

196
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:51,900
The proposal was $154,000.

197
00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:55,800
As we've worked through the process of cleaning,

198
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:07,060
It turns out we have more solids in the digester than we originally thought for a couple of reasons that I'll explain when we get to the questions.

199
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:15,480
So we are requesting an additional 74,000 or just under 75,000 to complete the digester cleaning.

200
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:37,810
Excuse me, in addition to that, we, when Cinergrill was here, we asked them for a proposal to clean EQ basin number one, which is the smaller of our stormwater EQ basins, which has never been cleaned before, by an outside contractor, the cost of that is 137,000.

201
00:12:37,810 --> 00:12:47,070
And so what we're asking you for is a, excuse me, is an increase, basically a change

202
00:12:47,070 --> 00:12:52,610
order or a amendment to cover the cost of those two additional items for CineGreau.

203
00:12:53,770 --> 00:12:59,810
And the rest of the details are, as noted in the staff report in front of you, and the

204
00:12:59,810 --> 00:13:07,790
only other thing that I wanted to mention was that we are hopefully soon going to be fit

205
00:13:07,790 --> 00:13:13,950
the cleaning and bringing digester to online at which point we will likely be coming back to you

206
00:13:13,950 --> 00:13:19,470
to you know with a proposal to clean digester number one after bringing that offline.

207
00:13:21,550 --> 00:13:26,050
And that's that's all I had to to introduce the item and take questions.

208
00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:29,370
Thank you Aaron. Well, there are customary any questions?

209
00:13:29,370 --> 00:13:32,710
No, thank you.

210
00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:34,050
You're the winner?

211
00:13:35,210 --> 00:13:40,350
Yes, I just wondered if I heard correctly.

212
00:13:40,590 --> 00:13:47,370
As I read the report, it was regarding the digestions 1 and 2.

213
00:13:48,530 --> 00:13:51,150
I'm making an e-cube basin.

214
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:18,590
So I'm sorry, a couple of separate items. So what we're asking for tonight is 75,000 dollars just under to complete cleaning digester one and an additional 137,000 to clean fully clean EQ based in number one.

215
00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:20,650
And I may have flipped a lot that.

216
00:14:20,750 --> 00:14:25,150
I'm sorry, 75,000 to finish cleaning digester too.

217
00:14:25,330 --> 00:14:30,090
And the 137 to clean fully clean EQ based number one.

218
00:14:30,290 --> 00:14:33,690
Number digester number one will come to you as a separate item

219
00:14:33,690 --> 00:14:35,190
at a later date

220
00:14:38,130 --> 00:14:40,510
that clear, clear it up.

221
00:14:40,690 --> 00:14:43,610
Yeah, I misread the, I misread the report because I thought

222
00:14:43,610 --> 00:14:46,950
if we split the back and forth between the cost,

223
00:14:46,950 --> 00:14:50,250
I just, you and the digest from one.

224
00:14:50,430 --> 00:14:56,510
You notice that it was, we keep base and one now that I pulled on one, I understand.

225
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,700
All right, do we need you all set?

226
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:03,840
I'm good. Okay, direct this to Peter.

227
00:15:05,860 --> 00:15:08,480
I'm good. Okay, bye.

228
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:25,540
Thank you. Okay, I'm good. Now, I'm motion to approve, please.

229
00:15:31,550 --> 00:15:33,790
I make a motion to move the item.

230
00:15:35,420 --> 00:15:39,760
Second, but the eyes have been moved and seconded.

231
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,220
Please take the roll.

232
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,440
President Alvarado?

233
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,380
Yes.

234
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:48,660
Vice-president Judith.

235
00:15:50,060 --> 00:15:51,940
So, Director Stanley?

236
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,400
Sure.

237
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,160
Director's a Pada?

238
00:15:58,460 --> 00:15:58,760
Yes.

239
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,460
And Director Weiner?

240
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:01,460
Yes.

241
00:16:02,580 --> 00:16:03,280
Pass us unanimously.

242
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,340
Next item, please.

243
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,100
Next item is see a doctor resolution

244
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:18,080
authorizing the general manager to execute an amendment, excuse me. Execute an amendment to the agreement

245
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:25,540
with regional government services by an additional $360,000 for human resource support and

246
00:16:25,540 --> 00:16:32,060
miscellaneous consulting services and increasing the term for a total not to exceed the amount

247
00:16:32,060 --> 00:16:37,100
of $3,158,334 dollars.

248
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:40,240
Okay, what's the money?

249
00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:42,880
Did you have any presents ever out of game?

250
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,740
This is just a level.

251
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,720
I have all of you presenting this item.

252
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,220
So, a regional government services

253
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:52,140
have been providing a transitional leadership services

254
00:16:52,140 --> 00:16:54,740
as well as consultant support

255
00:16:54,740 --> 00:16:59,720
for the district for a little over two years now.

256
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:07,940
And now that we've got, we have, we're getting staffed up, and a lot of the work from RGS is winding down.

257
00:17:08,020 --> 00:17:15,640
However, some of what they're working on, we still have several more months of need to work with RGS.

258
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:22,200
principally in the infrastructure and planning department, one of the RGS consultants is helping us

259
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,380
significantly with a lot of the sustainability initiatives. And just to get us through

260
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:33,640
pretty much through September, and then we also have RGS working with us on several of our

261
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:40,460
the human resources consulting. One of that is benefits administration, which is a pretty large

262
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:47,420
chunk of one of the one of the RGS consultants as well as disability leave management and

263
00:17:48,340 --> 00:17:56,980
labor labor negotiations that are still ongoing. And so we need about $360,000. I'll get us through

264
00:17:56,980 --> 00:18:03,920
September of 2020 and how we are without get us through and we would pretty much wind down the

265
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:13,920
contract and it's existing form with with RGS. And so I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have.

266
00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:17,680
Thank you, Justin. Dr. Stanley.

267
00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:20,620
I have no question.

268
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:23,260
Dr. Weiner.

269
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:25,540
No, I have no questions.

270
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:27,080
Dr. Safeta.

271
00:18:29,890 --> 00:18:36,090
Question in the last meeting, we approved the budget for ADP to be able to help out with these HR.

272
00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:41,490
Can you tell us what they will be handling since we just hired ADP?

273
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:41,990
Right.

274
00:18:42,770 --> 00:18:52,170
So, so the current on the HR functions with RGS, that person will help us to part of the implementation with ADP.

275
00:18:52,170 --> 00:18:56,350
And so once ADP goes live in approximately 12 weeks,

276
00:18:56,470 --> 00:19:03,350
so we're assuming by the September that that service is a lot of the benefits services that the

277
00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:12,070
RGS person is performing would go into, would be part of ADP, ADP products, and so that work would

278
00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:17,350
no longer be needed. So that's probably the principle amount. There's still be some occasional

279
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:24,330
labor negotiations support, but that would be through a separate agreement in the future.

280
00:19:25,070 --> 00:19:25,250
Thank you.

281
00:19:25,930 --> 00:19:30,980
Spectacles that it would be under $50,000, so under the general manager of R&B.

282
00:19:31,850 --> 00:19:37,150
Thank you. And for the disability relief management, what exactly do they do for that?

283
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:46,410
So currently, they are really helping us communicate between the doctors,

284
00:19:46,410 --> 00:19:54,170
There's notices or modified duty and writing up any modified duty action plans, essentially

285
00:19:54,170 --> 00:19:56,070
what they're helping us with right now.

286
00:19:56,570 --> 00:20:00,350
We know within the next several months, a lot of that work is going to be more transitioned

287
00:20:00,350 --> 00:20:06,870
in-house now that we know with our existing human resource analysts, that kind of transitional

288
00:20:06,870 --> 00:20:10,270
need is going to slow down significantly as well for the next several months.

289
00:20:10,270 --> 00:20:14,790
And the disability, and thinking, thinking for that disability, we were referring to, like, short

290
00:20:14,790 --> 00:20:17,490
disability, California state disability and long term disability.

291
00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:18,370
Right.

292
00:20:18,650 --> 00:20:22,450
So, you know, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's happen to be a work for the kids.

293
00:20:22,710 --> 00:20:26,850
If you, or there was, or somebody was on FNLA.

294
00:20:28,270 --> 00:20:28,610
There, there.

295
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:33,270
Especially just making sure, helping us make sure that we have all the paperwork, and all the documentation

296
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:37,710
in order in part of it in a training with our existing staff.

297
00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:43,710
So then we'll fill in the future that we would be taking that component on in-house.

298
00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:48,390
Okay. I know the question. Thank you so much, Justin. And Lisa, thank you.

299
00:20:48,590 --> 00:20:51,230
Thank you, Director Spada, Vice President Settiff.

300
00:20:53,630 --> 00:20:55,930
Yes, I have questions. We'll go right ahead.

301
00:20:56,930 --> 00:21:04,010
Because RGA, this much money gives me a heartburn. I say every time these RGA stands out,

302
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:07,660
how many people does

303
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:17,400
This is covering, there are five people that are covering this amount of work.

304
00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:30,280
We're going to pay 360,000 for five people for human resources support for all of

305
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:37,960
for not even five months, for activities that last year when this

306
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,840
came up,

307
00:21:41,180 --> 00:21:43,780
we were told would be

308
00:21:46,220 --> 00:21:47,880
transitions in-house.

309
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,560
And now we're talking about again that is going to be transitions in-house.

310
00:21:53,660 --> 00:21:58,600
I'm having issues with continuing to pay money to our G.S.

311
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:08,760
And now we're well over $3 million out of outsourcing still, duties that I feel see should be

312
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:15,980
that should be handled in writing up paperwork for modification of work duties should

313
00:22:15,980 --> 00:22:17,220
be in-house.

314
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:25,140
And even if we're training people, it should not take to September to teach someone to write

315
00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:26,180
up these paperwork.

316
00:22:26,180 --> 00:22:29,800
They have no incentive to train our in-house theft.

317
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,440
If we're going to continue to pay some body,

318
00:22:32,820 --> 00:22:36,180
some organization almost $400,000.

319
00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:38,000
For four to five months.

320
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,300
I said it before, and I will say it again.

321
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:48,220
I'm not going to continue to approve money going out the door

322
00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:53,640
to consultants when we should be training people to hire full time

323
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,360
even if it's part time.

324
00:22:55,360 --> 00:23:01,980
to have jobs at West County West Water to employees at West County West Water.

325
00:23:03,260 --> 00:23:07,160
All of these consultants are eating up our bottom line.

326
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,040
This is look how much money this is that we keep giving away to consultants.

327
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320
There's a lot of money over $3 million to RGS.

328
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:24,280
There's a lot of money and I'm not seeing the where the return is when they walk out of the door even if it's in September.

329
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,030
Where's the return to West County? Where's the retention of knowledge to West County?

330
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,930
When they leave, they did at knowledge somewhere else.

331
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,220
With County doesn't retain that. We're not hiring them as per many, but this time we should hire them.

332
00:23:41,460 --> 00:23:43,220
So where is our transition plan?

333
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,740
Do we have that? We have a transition plan?

334
00:23:49,980 --> 00:23:56,600
I can answer that question. Do you want to

335
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:06,100
a little bit, just to clarify on the split, 120,000 of the 360 would go to the HR services.

336
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:13,380
And then the remaining is for infrastructure and planning works. There's a lot of project management,

337
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,880
work related to sustainability initiatives.

338
00:24:17,540 --> 00:24:23,300
There are helping a lot on that area as well as some supervision within the infrastructure and planning department.

339
00:24:24,740 --> 00:24:27,360
So there are the two separate things.

340
00:24:27,740 --> 00:24:33,300
We are looking at actually putting all this stuff in house.

341
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:37,300
So this is something that I'm working on as well as Michael

342
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:40,660
on coming up with our plan to have all our staff.

343
00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:45,000
And so you'll see that in the next several months with different pieces

344
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,860
that I'm working on to be able to have that staffing.

345
00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:54,520
And so we can have our HR functions in-house and not rely on RGS.

346
00:24:54,920 --> 00:25:01,920
So that is pieces that I'm working on is taken longer than anticipated, and I wasn't hired

347
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,440
a year ago when this amendment, the last amendment went in June.

348
00:25:06,540 --> 00:25:13,220
So it's just a transition longer than anticipated, but we are working to not have used RGS

349
00:25:13,220 --> 00:25:18,200
such a large extent to really bring a lot of the pieces in-house that they're doing.

350
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,480
And I do want to add, there are approximately three vacant positions right now that are

351
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:31,420
we're anticipated to take on some of this work. Again, one of the things with ADP taking,

352
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,040
that's the transition for benefits administration, which will move those things.

353
00:25:36,980 --> 00:25:42,420
But we also have an HR manager that the board approved as part of the budget that position

354
00:25:42,420 --> 00:25:49,020
does not exist. So we have to create a classification in order for that to exist. That once

355
00:25:49,020 --> 00:25:56,960
that exists and we hire for that. And both Justin and Michael and Aaron for that matter are

356
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:02,600
basically doing their own evaluation. They've inherited some positions new positions and they

357
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,160
wanted to do an evaluation, which is what they should be doing. To determine if those were really

358
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,880
the right positions for their needs.

359
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,220
One of those positions is the HR manager,

360
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,120
so that has remained vacant this entire time.

361
00:26:16,660 --> 00:26:18,500
We will see some movement with that position,

362
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:20,120
I think going forward shortly.

363
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:22,960
Michael also has positions,

364
00:26:22,980 --> 00:26:25,520
I believe there are two positions currently vacant.

365
00:26:26,180 --> 00:26:28,380
One, there used to be a supervisor position

366
00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:30,440
in the infrastructure and planning department

367
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:35,800
that oversaw the division that the RGS employee is now seeing

368
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:42,660
And then there was no one, essentially, assigned to deal with the numerous environmental initiatives

369
00:26:42,660 --> 00:26:44,200
that we've now taken on.

370
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,260
So there's some new tasks that we didn't have before.

371
00:26:47,420 --> 00:26:53,020
And there is a gap in supervision right now that we're currently dealing with.

372
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:58,600
And that's part of the transition, both Justin and Michael, again, looking

373
00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,900
at their departments and assessing.

374
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:06,920
So, I can't really say it's taking longer than anticipated except to say that they're doing

375
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:14,160
a thorough analysis before they make a move, but there is absolutely the intent to move

376
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:20,260
these things in-house to the appropriate positions in the right timeframe, because the last thing

377
00:27:20,260 --> 00:27:24,780
we want to do is move forward with the position, and it not be the right position with the right

378
00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:39,380
So, that was the only other piece I wanted to add, and we definitely understand and are an agreement that the reliance on the consultants is not something you want to do and that's what you'll see you've seen, and you'll see a dramatic change.

379
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:53,100
Part of the problem was before essentially every single executive leadership position was being filled by the consultant because the only permanent person in place was myself and actually for a year I was in terms.

380
00:27:53,100 --> 00:28:01,420
So it is changing, I understand not maybe as quickly as you'd like, but it is going to happen and we are moving in that direction.

381
00:28:04,580 --> 00:28:05,400
This is true.

382
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:07,740
Of course, you know that's my pain point.

383
00:28:08,580 --> 00:28:08,780
Yes.

384
00:28:09,220 --> 00:28:14,300
My point is that everything else I can do with, but that's my pain point.

385
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:17,440
and consultants instead of employees,

386
00:28:18,220 --> 00:28:21,520
I can't point for me to give three million dollars

387
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:28,260
to our GF, it's a pain point for me personally.

388
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,180
To have to explain that to our community,

389
00:28:32,140 --> 00:28:36,080
we have this much money going to someone other

390
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,900
than our community as hiring, hiring.

391
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,140
I mean I would rather even see the consultants

392
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:51,620
to do actual employees, but they're not even happening. So I get it. I know it's harder and hard time,

393
00:28:51,620 --> 00:28:57,920
hiring people myself, but these are the important for me, personally. So I'm glad to see that there's

394
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:04,260
movement in trying to bring it in-house. I would rather have seen that as part of the staff report

395
00:29:04,260 --> 00:29:11,100
that is what's happening. So just a recommendation, and when you're writing the support,

396
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:20,760
that you actually mentioned, that is why you're doing Mr. Savannah instead of a lawyer, that's what I would say.

397
00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:28,100
And my recommendation to you when you're writing the staff report, you put the staff's attention that, you know,

398
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:38,560
Otherwise, it looked like we're spending $360,000 in four and a half months on temporary contractors.

399
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:46,300
We know transitional Warsaw, and how we're doing bringing this in place.

400
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:47,840
Thank you, Mr. President.

401
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:49,180
I'm finished.

402
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,380
Thank you, Vice President Suffin. I too share your concerns.

403
00:29:52,940 --> 00:29:59,960
I'd like to see that we get out of this contract with our GS and hire our own employees and it sounds to me like staff is moving

404
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,380
In that direction, so hopefully we'll see RGS coming up again for additional funds. So I'm going to motion to approve this, please.

405
00:30:19,980 --> 00:30:29,420
I'll make a motion to move this over to move this out for a vote. So I'll make a motion to improve the motion. Thank you.

406
00:30:34,340 --> 00:30:45,540
I would like an explanation on what director Zepadar just said on a thing is so making a motion

407
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:55,140
for a boat and either move forward or not because nobody was jumping at making a motion

408
00:30:55,140 --> 00:31:01,340
so I mean a motion so we can figure out where we're going but what was this we're making

409
00:31:01,340 --> 00:31:09,760
emotion to make a vote to get a vote, or I mean, to make a motion on the one of us being

410
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:17,820
opposed, I wouldn't be the item. Correct? Okay, that's what I thought you were, but it didn't

411
00:31:17,820 --> 00:31:23,600
suck like it. Okay, I second that. All right, so the items have been moved and seconded please take

412
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:30,980
the roll. President Alvarado? Yes. Vice President Siddit? No.

413
00:31:31,340 --> 00:31:32,100
Okay.

414
00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:43,530
Director Stanley, you have directors of PETA?

415
00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:44,970
Yes.

416
00:31:45,750 --> 00:31:46,910
And director Wiener.

417
00:31:47,170 --> 00:31:47,490
Yes.

418
00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:57,130
I don't know what to say because it's the motion pass because you have a core on right?

419
00:31:57,270 --> 00:31:58,150
Yes, that's right.

420
00:31:59,850 --> 00:31:59,930
Okay.

421
00:32:01,070 --> 00:32:02,810
All right, next item please.

422
00:32:04,990 --> 00:32:06,610
Item C is adopt the resolution.

423
00:32:06,850 --> 00:32:07,410
Not the resolution.

424
00:32:07,750 --> 00:32:08,310
No.

425
00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:08,650
That one.

426
00:32:08,650 --> 00:32:11,480
Item was moved.

427
00:32:12,460 --> 00:32:13,560
Oh, Rhonda six.

428
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:16,060
Oh, sorry about that.

429
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:21,020
Information reports, information reports are provided to keep the board updated on routine,

430
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,440
recurring or specific matters, but do not require board vote.

431
00:32:25,740 --> 00:32:31,820
There will be no discussion of information reports on the specific items are pulled for discussion.

432
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:38,180
A is received the general manager's report for the months of March and April 2020.

433
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:38,420
I mean,

434
00:32:40,590 --> 00:32:45,370
again, just open, if you have any questions, I would like to request though that

435
00:32:45,370 --> 00:32:52,610
item C and D actually, guess we pulled forward discussion, we'd like to present a little bit

436
00:32:52,610 --> 00:32:54,510
of information on that one.

437
00:32:58,170 --> 00:33:02,190
Any questions on item A of six, Dr. Stanley?

438
00:33:04,090 --> 00:33:04,690
No.

439
00:33:05,910 --> 00:33:07,430
We're right the winner.

440
00:33:08,510 --> 00:33:10,930
Nope, they're right to subpoena.

441
00:33:11,530 --> 00:33:13,510
Nope, vice president.

442
00:33:14,670 --> 00:33:15,670
I'm sorry.

443
00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:16,690
Thank you.

444
00:33:17,630 --> 00:33:17,890
Good morning.

445
00:33:18,430 --> 00:33:18,730
Good evening.

446
00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:19,650
Adam B. Please.

447
00:33:21,150 --> 00:33:23,850
Adam B is received the board's attorney statement of services.

448
00:33:23,910 --> 00:33:25,590
David May 1, 2020.

449
00:33:26,130 --> 00:33:29,650
For services provided in the month of May 2020.

450
00:33:30,850 --> 00:33:34,230
He was actually for services provided in the month of April, 2021.

451
00:33:34,230 --> 00:33:40,710
This is a point on the agenda where you typically review my invoices and I answer any questions.

452
00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:45,030
I get sent out my typical email explaining what I thought he had additional explanation,

453
00:33:45,310 --> 00:33:47,630
but I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

454
00:33:48,170 --> 00:33:50,570
Okay, there are constantly any questions.

455
00:33:51,410 --> 00:33:53,230
I will be asked my questions personally.

456
00:33:54,110 --> 00:33:54,410
Thank you.

457
00:33:55,270 --> 00:33:55,650
All right.

458
00:33:55,890 --> 00:33:56,690
Director Weener.

459
00:33:57,750 --> 00:33:58,650
No, I have no questions.

460
00:33:59,430 --> 00:34:00,690
Director Spade up.

461
00:34:01,470 --> 00:34:01,970
No questions.

462
00:34:01,970 --> 00:34:04,390
Vice President Sutter.

463
00:34:05,050 --> 00:34:05,950
I'm sorry, thank you.

464
00:34:06,530 --> 00:34:07,650
All right, I'm good.

465
00:34:08,290 --> 00:34:09,510
Next item, please.

466
00:34:10,390 --> 00:34:16,090
Item C, receiving update on the business of West County, West County Agents thing.

467
00:34:17,130 --> 00:34:17,930
Who's presenting?

468
00:34:19,170 --> 00:34:22,110
So Andrew is going to provide you with a brief update.

469
00:34:25,010 --> 00:34:25,930
Andrew, bye.

470
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,860
Working on the unmute there.

471
00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:32,760
Yes, just a very brief update.

472
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:48,680
We had a special meeting on May the 15th and the West County agency approved authorized us to enter into a contract with Corralo engineers to proceed with the design of the sodium bisophate facility.

473
00:34:49,320 --> 00:35:01,940
We're going to continue to work with Richmond on updating the agreement, the joint powers agreement, specifically to do a better job of defining the roles and responsibilities and try to address.

474
00:35:01,940 --> 00:35:12,940
Some of the concerns about the timing of payments, and I think we can make some arrangements on that regarding when we would receive funding for capital projects, for example.

475
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:30,540
And I'm cautiously optimistic that we can work through that with Richmond and be able to come back with approval on that agreement by early fall, September, October, and be able to definitely do that before.

476
00:35:30,540 --> 00:35:38,100
we go out to bid for the construction project and that won't happen until at least late

477
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:44,340
fall or early winter as we go through the design process. But I do think that on this project

478
00:35:44,340 --> 00:35:50,260
that we are cooperating and coordinating with Richmond fairly well, there will be some details

479
00:35:50,260 --> 00:35:57,300
in that JPA that may take some negotiations back and forth. So it's difficult to say exactly when

480
00:35:57,300 --> 00:36:03,660
will be back, but we're moving forward on the projects and we'll be going to the West County Agency

481
00:36:03,660 --> 00:36:10,420
with a budget update in June to pass that budget that will give Richmond plenty of time to be

482
00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:17,340
able to take a look and whatever machinations they need to go through to approve and appropriate

483
00:36:17,340 --> 00:36:23,520
the dollars into their budget. It's a little confusing exactly what they have to do there,

484
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:30,160
But given them plenty of notice as to what we expect the budget to be, we'll have the budget passed in June.

485
00:36:31,380 --> 00:36:37,460
And they will be sending them an invoice in the next couple of days for the Coral will contract.

486
00:36:37,620 --> 00:36:40,640
That money was budgeted in this current fiscal year.

487
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,540
They're well aware of that and in communication with their public works director.

488
00:36:45,540 --> 00:36:50,840
And then plenty of time, like I said, to have the funds available before we start construction.

489
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:59,020
So, hopefully we can move these things along smoothly, but we will see how that progresses and we'll be back with updates to the board.

490
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,120
Any questions or how did you answer?

491
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,140
Thank you, Andrew.

492
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:03,800
There are questions.

493
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,540
No, thank you.

494
00:37:08,340 --> 00:37:09,120
There are the winner.

495
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:10,840
I don't know.

496
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:12,600
There are.

497
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:14,020
There are.

498
00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:19,770
Andrew, just a quick question and I'm not sure you might know this or not.

499
00:37:19,770 --> 00:37:24,330
to someone who's buying a historical, but have we ever had any issues with any agencies that we

500
00:37:24,330 --> 00:37:26,490
weren't with not being able to meet the responsibilities?

501
00:37:28,990 --> 00:37:30,830
I don't have a lot of things to say.

502
00:37:31,410 --> 00:37:37,350
But I think that ultimately they have met the responsibilities. It's more about a timely

503
00:37:37,350 --> 00:37:42,450
decision. Okay. Because I know that Richard right now is going through a financial

504
00:37:44,170 --> 00:37:47,910
hardship. So I'm sure that if we're putting the money out that we get the money back.

505
00:37:48,870 --> 00:37:56,350
But as far as that goes, we're invoicing them for the consulting work, their public works

506
00:37:56,350 --> 00:38:01,570
are racked and indicated that they did have that funding budget in this year and they

507
00:38:01,570 --> 00:38:04,610
done whatever appropriation mechanism they have to do.

508
00:38:05,170 --> 00:38:08,250
Like I said, it's a little arcane in the way they explained it.

509
00:38:08,450 --> 00:38:13,690
I'm not fully understanding that process, but I do also understand that the monies that

510
00:38:13,690 --> 00:38:22,370
talking about for the construction project are part of it and NSRF fund alone. So it's not going

511
00:38:22,370 --> 00:38:26,950
to be monies that are coming from the general fund and the other areas that are going to be

512
00:38:26,950 --> 00:38:33,450
dramatically hit with the budget issues that they have now. So I'm optimistic that they will have

513
00:38:33,450 --> 00:38:40,710
the funding for the project. It's in an enterprise fund that will be paying back the the loan

514
00:38:40,710 --> 00:38:49,350
And we will not enter into a construction contract until the funds are in the WCA accounts.

515
00:38:49,890 --> 00:38:53,690
So we won't put ourselves in a position of not being able to pay the contractor.

516
00:38:54,310 --> 00:38:59,510
We're having to pay the contractor with West County wastewater funds.

517
00:39:00,050 --> 00:39:00,910
Thank you for that.

518
00:39:01,110 --> 00:39:01,750
No more questions.

519
00:39:02,030 --> 00:39:03,130
Thank you.

520
00:39:03,150 --> 00:39:04,510
Thank you, Director Superior.

521
00:39:04,650 --> 00:39:06,230
Vice President Sove?

522
00:39:07,910 --> 00:39:08,530
Yes.

523
00:39:08,530 --> 00:39:12,530
So last night, Richmond City Council meeting,

524
00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:27,100
another fun adventure, they were dealing with their waste water plants issue and what's going to came up?

525
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:34,660
West County, this issue came up with the West County agency and also we came up.

526
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:41,080
Mr. Martinez spoke about West County wastewater.

527
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,360
I'm not talking about West County wastewater and the West County agency.

528
00:39:47,020 --> 00:39:54,140
I make sure that I give these comments great because I wanted to reach through the screen and shake him.

529
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,520
because it kept talking about these wet county wastewater making a

530
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:10,560
profit off of the relationship with a waste wall and it kept saying it and

531
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,520
you know when you say it three times other people aren't really paying attention

532
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:20,390
they start to believe what they first until finally the attorney had to

533
00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:51,750
correct him and then there was the guy from the O'Water was there and he also corrected him and then they got into this discussion about Richmond paying 70 30% of the upkeep and West County paying the 30% which is 60 70% and they started saying that oh and Mick you may want to weigh in on this.

534
00:40:51,770 --> 00:41:09,770
Well, we've been talking to West County and we're trying to move it towards 65-35 and we will continue to talk about it some more.

535
00:41:10,090 --> 00:41:18,970
We've only been verbal discussions so far and we're hoping that we can make this more formal soon.

536
00:41:18,970 --> 00:41:24,590
someone from the water waiting and then that's when they got into the

537
00:41:24,590 --> 00:41:30,810
huge discussion about if Weston County has a markup on the project and

538
00:41:31,930 --> 00:41:38,070
they said no they don't. The Oliya is contracting with Corolla for the

539
00:41:38,070 --> 00:41:42,970
project design bill but they were getting it mixed up between this money coming from

540
00:41:42,970 --> 00:41:51,090
with county agency and the money that they're getting from for the outfall and the

541
00:41:51,090 --> 00:41:58,270
money that Richmond needs to bring in for its own plant. But if someone get out into

542
00:41:58,270 --> 00:42:04,990
the universe for the citizens of Richmond because Richmond has to now, you know,

543
00:42:05,150 --> 00:42:10,730
then they passed it last night, do a rate increase. So now they've strong West County wastewater

544
00:42:10,730 --> 00:42:18,610
into this mix, right? So I would want all of you to please go back and watch last night.

545
00:42:18,930 --> 00:42:23,450
They're very painful meeting, but you need to watch it so you can see what's being said.

546
00:42:24,310 --> 00:42:32,130
But they've got us in the middle of this mix and somehow they're saying something about

547
00:42:32,130 --> 00:42:40,130
us getting a markup on this project and moving us from the 70-30 mix to 65-35 mix.

548
00:42:40,130 --> 00:42:42,530
So, do you not anything about this?

549
00:42:43,450 --> 00:42:45,530
Director, do you want to go ahead first, man?

550
00:42:45,910 --> 00:42:47,910
I do know something about this.

551
00:42:47,930 --> 00:42:50,250
70-30 has never been discussed.

552
00:42:50,430 --> 00:42:53,110
When you look at the existing joint powers of agreement,

553
00:42:53,970 --> 00:42:58,990
the split, it was an audit split, is 6832.

554
00:42:59,910 --> 00:43:02,790
Richmond proposed since this is a little bit different project.

555
00:43:02,930 --> 00:43:07,250
Richmond proposed several months ago that they should pay 65%

556
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:11,070
and the West County wastewater district should pay 35% of the bill.

557
00:43:11,170 --> 00:43:15,510
Apple and O&M cost and West County wastewater district agreed to that.

558
00:43:15,830 --> 00:43:19,770
We just need to memorialize it so I don't know where the 70-thirty comes from.

559
00:43:20,050 --> 00:43:25,180
Now that issue also came up at the last West County agency meeting and I thought we clarified it then as well.

560
00:43:28,330 --> 00:43:34,750
If I may add, at the last meeting, Mick did say those numbers exactly and I believe council member

561
00:43:34,750 --> 00:43:41,810
Martinez repeated them. It's a little unfortunate if it sounds like there's again a lot of

562
00:43:41,810 --> 00:43:46,470
confusion being thrown out there and their process is rather arcane but

563
00:43:47,390 --> 00:43:52,770
there was quite a lengthy process to determine what the splits should be

564
00:43:53,170 --> 00:43:59,250
and the amount of administrative costs that goes into managing the WCA which almost

565
00:43:59,250 --> 00:44:05,530
all of that burden is currently falling on the West County wastewater and not on Richmond at all.

566
00:44:06,030 --> 00:44:11,810
So it's a little disingenuous to suggest that somehow there's some kind of a markup on this and a

567
00:44:11,810 --> 00:44:19,090
profit being made because first it's illegal for us to make a profit. But like I said, I'm going to

568
00:44:19,090 --> 00:44:25,630
hopefully be back in September or October but I'm a little raffling on that somewhat because of

569
00:44:25,630 --> 00:44:32,350
exactly this is that if we have good faith negotiations with Richmond, as I think we will

570
00:44:32,350 --> 00:44:37,670
in talking to their staff, then we'll come up with some agreement and we'll define the

571
00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:44,370
roles and responsibilities, but there may be some contention around the actual split of

572
00:44:44,370 --> 00:44:50,430
costs going forward after this project. There may be some concerns about who manages the agency

573
00:44:50,430 --> 00:44:55,190
because it will be part of our proposal to say rich mandates your turn.

574
00:44:55,610 --> 00:44:56,790
You administer the agency.

575
00:44:56,990 --> 00:44:58,310
You seem to have an issue.

576
00:44:58,830 --> 00:44:59,770
We're more than happy.

577
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:17,960
To turn it over to you for administration and we'll codify that into the into the agreement so that it wouldn't be this one agency or the other can do it will say that one agency will take it for a three to five years and we'll negotiate what that would be.

578
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:26,300
Then it goes to the other agency, so it's very clear in the JPA, but the 65-35, that's based

579
00:45:26,300 --> 00:45:32,900
on flow numbers. And so they're real. And we have no problem with that. But we need to look at it going

580
00:45:32,900 --> 00:45:39,980
forward and work with them. But there's no magic to this. It's based on, we have the facilities there,

581
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:45,220
what percentage of flow goes through those facilities from our agency and what goes through

582
00:45:45,220 --> 00:45:51,260
from Richmond. And so, I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish quite honestly, but

583
00:45:51,260 --> 00:45:55,840
we will continue to work with staff and good faith on this end into the best that we can.

584
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:02,700
Thank you. I know he was corrected twice last night of three times last night when he kept

585
00:46:02,700 --> 00:46:09,220
missing. So, you know, they kept trying to correct him. I thought I would just let you know.

586
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:19,460
Thank you. Thank you very much. I too attended that meeting of Leo Zoom and heard the same

587
00:46:19,460 --> 00:46:25,380
things and it seems like Richmond just I don't know for some reason they don't have to

588
00:46:25,380 --> 00:46:31,660
gather. So I encourage people to look at the meeting but you know you're going to be frustrated

589
00:46:32,460 --> 00:46:47,660
As I was, and I'm sure Vice President Salip was, but what we discussed at the meeting, you know, they voted on, we voted on, and I think that's kind of binding. So, you know, we'll go forward from there.

590
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:49,600
Next slide of please.

591
00:46:50,380 --> 00:46:50,980
President Alvarado?

592
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:51,900
Yes.

593
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,460
I think everyone is here.

594
00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:55,920
Yeah, I'll just pull her that out.

595
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:06,400
Do you think it would be advantageous for us to send a person to give testimony to the board

596
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:18,020
to present the facts, rather than rely on one of the members of the WCA to present them

597
00:47:19,380 --> 00:47:25,180
the Richmond City Council. In other words, you know, taking opportunity to respond to

598
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,080
his, whatever he makes, whatever claims he makes.

599
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:38,240
You know, as I think it would be advantageous, I don't think it would do any good, but

600
00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:44,880
rather than someone, we could also send them a written document saying what we agreed on and what we

601
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:53,380
didn't. I think that probably would be better. But I'll leave that up to the board. When this comes up,

602
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:58,340
we can also put it on the future agenda to discuss that. It's best the item to make sure that we're

603
00:47:58,340 --> 00:48:06,740
going in the right direction. I don't think your idea is a bad idea. President Alvarado, may I make a comment here?

604
00:48:06,940 --> 00:48:14,520
Sure. Make and I've already had some discussions around that in that we were memorialized at 65

605
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,600
by 35 in the agreements that we're working on right now

606
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,640
as regards specifically to the SPS project

607
00:48:22,260 --> 00:48:25,900
because we do agree with that and have no problem with that.

608
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,400
As part of the JPA going forward, whether it's 65, 35,

609
00:48:30,140 --> 00:48:32,560
I think we have to continue to look at that,

610
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,260
but it seems to be the reason a whole number

611
00:48:35,260 --> 00:48:36,720
based on the flow rates.

612
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,880
And then when this comes up to the WHO agencies

613
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:47,520
to approve, we're more than happy. I'll be more than happy at that point to go to a Richmond

614
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:52,560
Council meeting and discuss it if that's necessary at that point but I think that we have

615
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:58,260
quite a bit of a discussion that we need to have in the next couple of months to try to at least

616
00:48:58,260 --> 00:49:03,780
to the staff level hopefully come to some semblance of an agreement that we can move forward with

617
00:49:03,780 --> 00:49:09,800
I quite honestly don't quite understand what's going on with the politics of it but I think

618
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:15,240
the staff level. We can work something out. Yeah, I don't think anybody understands that political

619
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:20,000
level over there, but thank you, Andrew. Any further questions or comments?

620
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:24,040
All right, seeing

621
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:31,480
nothing next item, please. D is receiving update and update on West County wastewater's response

622
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,220
to COVID-19 pandemic.

623
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:44,520
Okay, who's giving us? Andrew. I'm back again, President Alvarado. The

624
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:51,020
report is similar to what we've been providing each meeting, not a lot of significant changes.

625
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:57,640
And I think that that's the important message is that going forward, they're been, as we've

626
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:05,880
seen, a lot of politics, a lot of charge issues, a lot of reopening phase 1, phase 2,

627
00:50:06,020 --> 00:50:14,480
the restaurants, take out the retail. But we have been operating this entire time as essentially

628
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:19,420
infrastructure and what we're doing is gradually bringing back a few more people

629
00:50:19,420 --> 00:50:24,360
we're working on our exposure control plan to make sure we can have that happen safely

630
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:31,800
and we as an agency regardless of exactly what's happening with the state or the county orders

631
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:37,460
we're going to continue to require face coverings for all employees through at least July 31

632
00:50:37,460 --> 00:50:43,460
First, we're going to make sure that we don't have any large events through the end of the year.

633
00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:52,360
We're going to continue along the lines pretty much with what we've been doing in trying to rather than, as the order says,

634
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,920
now, maximize the number of employees that work remotely.

635
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:04,080
As we move forward, we're going to, in the same spirit, minimize the number of employees in the office at any given time.

636
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:33,960
So that we can allow for greater space to be able to continue the physical distancing with the idea that we want to continue our operations make sure we're providing it as efficiently and effectively as we can but at the same time keeping our employees safe and working for the good of everybody in the office and so we're making small changes and we're going to make those adjustments we're communicating those to stop and we're going to continue moving forward because there's just a lot of unknowns.

637
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:39,960
And we don't want to feel a great deal of what we do feel it, but we don't want to react

638
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:45,060
to a great deal of pressure to say that we must open up or do something differently.

639
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:46,900
We are open and we are operating.

640
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,740
What we want to do is operate in a safe manner.

641
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,800
And so that's what we're going to continue to do.

642
00:51:53,780 --> 00:51:54,420
Thank you, Andrew.

643
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:56,860
Quartz is in the board.

644
00:51:56,860 --> 00:52:03,000
But I had one quick thing before you moved to for questions or comments.

645
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:11,040
I wanted to also just add that we're using this opportunity to do some where we can some improvements now to the building.

646
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:19,120
For example, today we have some work done to upgrade our security access.

647
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,160
And so we're also using the opportunity we're staffer out of the office.

648
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:31,040
And again, we're at appropriate to do some of these things that are difficult to do when we have staff fully staffed in the office.

649
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,000
So I just wanted to add that as well.

650
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:34,820
Thank you, Lisa.

651
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,020
Do I have to say any questions comments?

652
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:40,920
No, thank you.

653
00:52:40,980 --> 00:52:41,620
They're at the winner.

654
00:52:43,060 --> 00:52:48,840
Have we had anybody say they got it or stay at home?

655
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,920
So we can't actually get into that.

656
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:59,240
we can't address that in a public meeting, but I will say that we are taking all of the precautions

657
00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:05,840
and if we did have somebody that did we are, we have protocols for that essentially.

658
00:53:07,020 --> 00:53:12,860
So you can, in general, we can't discuss the possibility that somebody

659
00:53:13,700 --> 00:53:18,100
I don't think that we should be talking about that, but we do have a small organization.

660
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:30,560
So I'm happy to talk offline, but I will say that it's not something that because we have a small organization, I think it's better to not discuss that in this.

661
00:53:30,580 --> 00:53:34,120
I agree with that position. I think she's correct.

662
00:53:36,950 --> 00:53:38,290
All right, well I'll ask you offline.

663
00:53:38,990 --> 00:53:39,330
Okay.

664
00:53:41,190 --> 00:53:42,330
Y'all said there are the weiner.

665
00:53:42,770 --> 00:53:43,690
I am good.

666
00:53:43,990 --> 00:53:45,830
All right, do I just fade out?

667
00:53:47,140 --> 00:53:50,060
question for me. Thank you so much.

668
00:53:50,140 --> 00:53:51,600
Vice President of the South.

669
00:53:54,290 --> 00:53:55,270
Thank you.

670
00:53:55,530 --> 00:53:57,370
All right. I'm good. Next item, please.

671
00:53:58,690 --> 00:54:00,870
Next item is number seven.

672
00:54:01,130 --> 00:54:03,950
Matters from staff, general manager and attorney.

673
00:54:04,930 --> 00:54:06,590
A staff general manager, attorney,

674
00:54:07,270 --> 00:54:11,990
comments, communication reports on issues or matters pertaining to the overall

675
00:54:11,990 --> 00:54:13,590
operations of the district.

676
00:54:17,690 --> 00:54:21,970
Andrew, Andrew, Erin, Justin Michael, anything for me, guys?

677
00:54:22,890 --> 00:54:26,990
I got a quick update with Savannah, Infrastructure and Planning Department Manager.

678
00:54:27,690 --> 00:54:33,390
I just want to update board and a public on where we are with the two emergencies that we're wrapping up.

679
00:54:33,510 --> 00:54:44,290
There's the Hilltop Arena Marginacy, we're currently in the process of drafting and reviewing the staff report and the close-out report that will come back to the board shortly on that.

680
00:54:44,290 --> 00:54:49,390
of the work is done there and it's been done for some time. On Lakeside we have some

681
00:54:49,390 --> 00:54:54,470
spoils which are the dirt that we removed when we did the excavation. We need to get rid

682
00:54:54,470 --> 00:54:58,950
of those spoils. Tally up what that change order is going to look like and then we'll be

683
00:54:58,950 --> 00:55:05,490
preparing the staff report and close out report for the board on both of those. I'm hoping for any

684
00:55:05,490 --> 00:55:07,250
questions that anyone may have.

685
00:55:09,930 --> 00:55:16,150
All right. Questions? Dr. Stanley? Nope. Dr. Weiner.

686
00:55:16,530 --> 00:55:18,150
I have none.

687
00:55:18,690 --> 00:55:19,930
Do you want to spade up?

688
00:55:20,210 --> 00:55:21,710
No, I'm for me.

689
00:55:22,010 --> 00:55:22,890
Vice President Sutter?

690
00:55:24,130 --> 00:55:25,270
I'm sorry, thank you.

691
00:55:25,830 --> 00:55:26,330
All right.

692
00:55:26,590 --> 00:55:27,530
Next item, please.

693
00:55:29,230 --> 00:55:30,430
Be welcome.

694
00:55:33,350 --> 00:55:38,310
I just wanted to mention that we did.

695
00:55:39,110 --> 00:55:41,310
What day was that?

696
00:55:41,510 --> 00:55:42,690
We should go, I guess.

697
00:55:44,010 --> 00:55:46,510
The San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority did.

698
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:53,970
approved our grant application for the Resiliency Project, which otherwise known as the Eco-Tone

699
00:55:53,970 --> 00:56:01,990
Slope or Living Levy. That's $600,000 in funding, and we'll be bringing that to the board

700
00:56:01,990 --> 00:56:09,230
on June 3rd to accept that grant and then to hopefully have the board acknowledge that the project

701
00:56:09,230 --> 00:56:16,490
that we want to move forward with is some form of a levy improvement of a wildlife habitat

702
00:56:16,490 --> 00:56:23,150
and flood protection along the waterfront there as we continue to try to work with other partners.

703
00:56:23,950 --> 00:56:29,830
And I've been in coordination with the restoration authority project managers.

704
00:56:30,130 --> 00:56:34,710
We're trying to put together the work program and we'll take us a couple of months to get into a contract.

705
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:41,650
And then from there we'll start to hire some consultants to do some preliminary design work.

706
00:56:41,830 --> 00:56:46,150
And this is quite exciting from the standpoint that we are getting money for planning,

707
00:56:46,150 --> 00:56:51,650
which is not always that common and there is a good pot of funding out there for construction

708
00:56:51,650 --> 00:56:57,370
if we can get ourselves to a good project and it's going to be a challenge to try to get

709
00:56:57,370 --> 00:57:00,790
some partners and that's all we're working on over the next few months.

710
00:57:02,310 --> 00:57:08,230
Okay, thank you Andrew. Next item please. Next item is receive a presentation by board

711
00:57:08,230 --> 00:57:12,210
turning on the brown act? Would you like me to bring that up? Yes, please.

712
00:57:18,710 --> 00:57:19,970
And we need

713
00:57:19,970 --> 00:57:27,990
to go to the, um, what is a meeting's lie? Why is this not scrolling? Oh, there we are. Sorry.

714
00:57:29,690 --> 00:57:36,710
Not showing here. Okay. You can't see any of it. I can't see any of it, but I have it with my screen too.

715
00:57:38,990 --> 00:57:43,730
Can anybody else do it? Nick, you could, yeah, we can't see it. You haven't shared that screen with us.

716
00:57:44,450 --> 00:57:46,290
Oh, you need to go in there.

717
00:57:46,450 --> 00:57:46,750
It's really.

718
00:57:47,510 --> 00:57:50,290
Nick, Nick could share a screen as well.

719
00:57:50,570 --> 00:57:52,630
I think I would have a different computer, Justin.

720
00:57:53,170 --> 00:57:53,390
Okay.

721
00:57:53,510 --> 00:57:54,970
But here, I can do it now.

722
00:57:55,030 --> 00:57:55,270
Yeah.

723
00:57:55,410 --> 00:57:56,510
Yeah, you can share.

724
00:58:03,190 --> 00:58:03,970
You can see it now.

725
00:58:04,210 --> 00:58:05,250
This is where we started.

726
00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:05,690
That's right.

727
00:58:05,810 --> 00:58:06,950
With underlying principles.

728
00:58:08,370 --> 00:58:09,250
Keep going.

729
00:58:09,610 --> 00:58:09,950
Okay.

730
00:58:09,970 --> 00:58:10,650
So go forward.

731
00:58:11,390 --> 00:58:11,510
Yeah.

732
00:58:11,530 --> 00:58:13,030
It's a few slides in.

733
00:58:13,630 --> 00:58:14,390
Next slide.

734
00:58:14,610 --> 00:58:15,510
Keep going.

735
00:58:17,850 --> 00:58:18,010
Yep.

736
00:58:18,150 --> 00:58:18,310
What?

737
00:58:18,350 --> 00:58:19,310
Go get one more.

738
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:49,380
next slide is it. Okay, this is where we are tonight. We ended last time with what is a legislative body and the question that we ended with was well why doesn't make a difference and the answer is that

739
00:58:49,380 --> 00:58:53,560
at the same time in location, including teleconference location.

740
00:58:54,460 --> 00:58:56,620
So that means any time three of you are in vote,

741
00:58:56,980 --> 00:58:59,640
you are the majority of the members of the legislative body

742
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:04,080
to hear, discuss, deliberate, or take action.

743
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:09,620
So it's not only a discussion that includes taking action

744
00:59:10,140 --> 00:59:14,460
is a discussion of a matter that's within your subject matter jurisdiction,

745
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,780
whether or not action is involved.

746
00:59:16,780 --> 00:59:22,020
Now, I included at the point about not having to include actually because there's a historical

747
00:59:22,020 --> 00:59:28,260
reason for it, it used to be that a majority of members could get together and discuss

748
00:59:28,260 --> 00:59:33,740
district business as long as they were not trying to develop a collective concurrence on what

749
00:59:33,740 --> 00:59:40,080
they were going to do. That was a minute out about 15 years ago. And so now, any discussion among

750
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:46,260
a majority of members, which could include only, this could be as simple as the exchange of information.

751
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:52,200
constitute to me. We all know the easy case, right? Three directors get together to discuss

752
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:58,240
district business. That's a needy. Same with standing committees. And this is where the language

753
00:59:58,240 --> 00:59:59,980
of the statute is important. It's said.

754
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:20,820
As any congregation of a majority of the members, there are two members, a standing committee, and so one member is not a majority. That is why when only one member shows up and that it can be a member of member or a member and alternate. That's why when only one shows up, it's not a meeting, it doesn't constitute a majority of the members.

755
01:00:21,940 --> 01:00:41,240
And this applies, meetings occur to with collective breathing, suppose, for example, your district manager wants to sit you all 5 be a down and go through something that's important to her and that's within the subject manager's section of the district cannot do that without it constituting a meeting.

756
01:00:41,860 --> 01:00:49,220
So, why is all this matter? Next slide, please? It matters. And we'll get, I'll get to the

757
01:00:49,220 --> 01:00:54,060
zero leading test. It matters because meetings just need to be properly noticed. That's what

758
01:00:54,060 --> 01:00:58,200
it's all, that's what this is all about. If you're going to have a meeting, we've got a properly

759
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:04,760
notice it. Regular meetings require 72 hours notice, special meetings 24 hours notice, a

760
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:11,000
emergency meeting, some kind of an hour notice, sometimes no notice at all. So, one of the things

761
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:18,540
One of the traps we have to look out for is what are called prohibited serial meetings, what are those, what's a serial meeting?

762
01:01:19,420 --> 01:01:26,760
That's the statute says, a majority of directors for the board that would be three directors for a committee that would be two directors.

763
01:01:28,060 --> 01:01:38,800
Shal, not outside of a probably notice meeting. This again is where notice comes in. If you notice a meeting between a majority of directors or a committee, then the rest of this is irrelevant,

764
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,360
because you can discuss anything you want that's on your agenda.

765
01:01:42,140 --> 01:01:46,760
But you can't use a series of communications and directly or through intermediaries

766
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:51,000
and we get back to the discussed delivery or take action.

767
01:01:51,540 --> 01:01:54,320
Discuss means exactly what it says.

768
01:01:54,720 --> 01:02:01,100
You can't exchange information about anything within the subject matter jurisdiction of the district

769
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:02,940
without doing proper notice.

770
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,080
And this includes every conceivable type of communication, email, Facebook,

771
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,820
you name it. You can't do it. Next slide please.

772
01:02:14,060 --> 01:02:19,220
Typical types of serial meetings. How do they occur? First one's daisy chain. What's a daisy chain?

773
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:23,400
One director contacted another who contacted another pretty simple right now.

774
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,860
It's trying to think of a of a good way to remember this and for you baseball fans,

775
01:02:28,260 --> 01:02:33,060
take her to ever to chance. Do you remember that? Those of that was the short stop

776
01:02:33,060 --> 01:02:38,380
second baseman and first baseman of the Chicago Cup back in 1906-07 way back

777
01:02:38,380 --> 01:02:41,940
and very famous double plate combination.

778
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,660
So the picture of the issue, the issue within the subject matter of the jurisdiction is the

779
01:02:46,660 --> 01:02:50,920
ball, ground ball being hit to short stop, that's been taken for picks it up, no meaning

780
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:51,760
yet, right?

781
01:02:51,940 --> 01:02:56,040
Flips over to every second base, still no meaning, because there's only two of them involved.

782
01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,740
Ever so as if the chance of first base, you've got your serial meaning, all three of the

783
01:03:00,740 --> 01:03:03,460
three, which would be a part of the board, are involved.

784
01:03:03,460 --> 01:03:10,420
That's a serial meeting, one conveys information to the other who conveys information to the other.

785
01:03:10,980 --> 01:03:16,460
So, director A can't talk to B to talk to D about the same thing.

786
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,480
Second type, public smoke, intermediaries, intermediaries use.

787
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:29,340
For example, director A calls me and says, hey, call director B and director C and tell them this, tell them I want to do this.

788
01:03:29,340 --> 01:03:34,640
I then become the intermediary, and that becomes an illegal meeting as well.

789
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,600
We're going to get into what is not a meeting that involves the area of general manager or staff next time.

790
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:46,720
But you've got to be careful because you can inadvertently step into this and create a meeting just like communicating,

791
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:58,410
and having somebody communicate on your behalf to two other directors if you are, oh, I'm sharing just setting it up.

792
01:03:59,410 --> 01:04:01,310
Anyway, next slide leads.

793
01:04:04,180 --> 01:04:04,960
Telecom is meetings.

794
01:04:05,220 --> 01:04:08,680
I wanted to put this up because we're doing it so often these days.

795
01:04:09,300 --> 01:04:11,100
And a question came up the last board meeting,

796
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:16,200
as to whether they could be done when we're not in the COVID-19 lockdown.

797
01:04:16,620 --> 01:04:17,860
And the answer is yes.

798
01:04:18,580 --> 01:04:21,960
The telecom is meetings are permissible for all purposes.

799
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,120
And telecomference doesn't mean just being on the telephone.

800
01:04:25,420 --> 01:04:27,220
It's any form of electronic means.

801
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,800
So what we are reviewing now is technically

802
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:37,120
They tell a conference meeting and it includes video, audio, any type of electronic communication.

803
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,780
So long as it is for the benefit of the public and the district.

804
01:04:41,420 --> 01:04:46,020
You know, I suppose we could always debate what the idea is, but that's the legal criteria.

805
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,900
But you could use it anytime not just during the shelter in place.

806
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:53,280
Next slide.

807
01:04:54,820 --> 01:04:59,080
If you're going to do so, and I kind of like these actually, but if you're going to do so,

808
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:04,340
there are some technical requirements. First, all holds have to be right by a won't call and

809
01:05:04,340 --> 01:05:09,620
present all the run of the doing that religiously. The agendas have to be posted at all teleconference

810
01:05:09,620 --> 01:05:14,420
locations. The meetings have to be conducted to predict the attendees' rights. What does that mean?

811
01:05:14,780 --> 01:05:20,280
That means you've got to be able to allow and have to allow people to exercise their constitutional

812
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:27,480
rights and speak to you somehow. In order to facilitate that, the agenda has to identify all teleconference

813
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:33,600
locations, they have to be accessible to the public, a core on that means three directors

814
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:38,320
have to participate for within the district, and the agenda must allow for public

815
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:43,560
conference comments, and this is interesting at each telecarbons location, so very five

816
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:49,680
different locations, technically everybody has to allow public comment at each location,

817
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,740
so you might have people knocking on your door at home.

818
01:05:52,740 --> 01:06:00,560
Next slide please, and director Stanley just sent me, are we supposed to be posting a agenda on our doors now? No.

819
01:06:01,020 --> 01:06:04,440
This is done. This is being done during the sheltered in place orders.

820
01:06:04,980 --> 01:06:12,180
And so what government knew some entities, the issue and executive order, and that executive order says,

821
01:06:12,180 --> 01:06:18,860
and I'm paraphrasing each teleconference location is not have to be identified. They do not have to be accessible.

822
01:06:20,140 --> 01:06:25,160
public comment is not required at each location and for that matter, technically not required

823
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:32,480
at any location. You don't have to post a genus at each location. And here's to me, an interesting,

824
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:36,100
you want a corner of the board doesn't need to be present within the district during this

825
01:06:36,100 --> 01:06:41,340
shelter in place, so you can be scattered everywhere. We can be doing this along over the world.

826
01:06:43,220 --> 01:06:48,840
You don't need to provide a physical location, a public comment, or observation. That is, you

827
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:53,460
if you're going to do teleconference meetings other than during the shelter in place over now.

828
01:06:54,580 --> 01:06:58,520
This is going to end. I don't know when, but at some point the governor is going to

829
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:03,460
rescind his orders and we'll have to go back to the way it is described on the prior slide.

830
01:07:04,340 --> 01:07:05,960
So I think that's the last slide.

831
01:07:10,090 --> 01:07:12,670
That's it for now and next time we're going to go through

832
01:07:12,670 --> 01:07:18,070
what is not a meeting and what you can do outside of the noticing requirements. I'm happy to answer

833
01:07:18,070 --> 01:07:23,290
any questions you may have. Thank you, Mick. There are questions, Stanley. Any questions?

834
01:07:24,770 --> 01:07:37,910
Thank you. Thank you. There are the weiner. Yeah, Mick, when there is no location for these zoom meetings,

835
01:07:37,910 --> 01:07:53,090
other than the interwebs. So why would a public and the public can comment through the chat

836
01:07:53,090 --> 01:08:04,770
or there's a participants, but if you're just an attendee question, you can submit questions and answers during the meeting.

837
01:08:04,770 --> 01:08:28,090
So, why does location even matter, even though the governor's report is that, you don't have to have a location, but as far as public comment goes, there is no way to describe it as a location. It's at the meeting.

838
01:08:29,270 --> 01:08:36,930
That's correct, and it's a good question, so that's why in a normal teleconference meeting,

839
01:08:37,430 --> 01:08:43,030
not during this COVID shelter in place order, you must allow them to actually come physically

840
01:08:43,030 --> 01:08:48,030
to where you are to make comments, and that means every director who's teleconversing,

841
01:08:48,150 --> 01:08:52,150
and if the meeting is at the district office, you have to give them a place to come.

842
01:08:52,650 --> 01:08:56,910
During this COVID shelter in place, that requirement has been lifted.

843
01:08:56,910 --> 01:09:18,110
The second part of your question was why why is there have to be a location and all I can say is that is what the legislature and it's infinite wisdom dictated the statute says other than this period in time there has to be a core of the board within the district boundaries even though you're right it makes no real difference.

844
01:09:18,610 --> 01:09:25,410
Also, with regard to public comment at this point, you don't have to allow public comment during these Zoom meetings.

845
01:09:25,970 --> 01:09:31,170
You can require public comment to be submitted for example 24 hours in advance of the meeting.

846
01:09:31,730 --> 01:09:35,250
So you don't need to allow the public to comment during the meeting itself.

847
01:09:35,730 --> 01:09:38,070
But that, again, is just during the shelter in place.

848
01:09:41,710 --> 01:09:42,090
Thank you.

849
01:09:42,810 --> 01:09:44,830
Thank you, Director Ween and Director Spada.

850
01:09:48,440 --> 01:09:49,500
Thank you, Mr. President.

851
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,540
I have a question on the roll call vote.

852
01:09:53,900 --> 01:09:58,340
I've seen other meetings not have a roll call vote

853
01:09:58,340 --> 01:10:03,520
where they just do a voice vote

854
01:10:04,100 --> 01:10:08,160
and they'll go and say, all in favor say aye.

855
01:10:09,020 --> 01:10:10,840
All in any nays.

856
01:10:11,140 --> 01:10:12,040
And if there's any nays,

857
01:10:12,180 --> 01:10:15,300
then they'll do a roll call vote if it's neat up there.

858
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,820
Otherwise it just moves on.

859
01:10:17,820 --> 01:10:28,300
and it's all yes. Is that? Are we taking that a more conservative take on that or is that written somewhere

860
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,780
where others are not following it or are we following it or are there some red lines in there?

861
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:43,820
This is no great lies. During the statutes specifically says all those taken during a telephone

862
01:10:43,820 --> 01:10:49,080
teleconference meeting shall be by roll call. That is not one of the required

863
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:53,680
must the governor's executive order of the meeting. So technically, all

864
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,640
votes must be by roll call. If others are doing it differently, they're not

865
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:04,540
following the statute. All right, but to now. That is it. Thank you. That was

866
01:11:04,540 --> 01:11:08,920
my impression. Presentation. Thank you to work for Spade of Vice President

867
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:16,680
yourself? Thank you. I'm glad you asked a question because yeah, that was always mine. I tried to

868
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:23,480
correct few people and I'm a hate chapter, but the real call goes.

869
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:28,140
Especially in membership

870
01:11:28,140 --> 01:11:34,320
organizations because you never know who's a member on the phone call or on the video conference

871
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:42,020
And so, it always confuses me when people do a consent vote, that would work on vote.

872
01:11:42,660 --> 01:11:44,440
So, thank you.

873
01:11:46,590 --> 01:11:47,550
Thank you, Vice President.

874
01:11:47,890 --> 01:11:49,610
So, I have a question about committees.

875
01:11:51,830 --> 01:11:54,010
Why should the board have committees?

876
01:11:55,050 --> 01:11:59,430
If any board member can attend, and then it becomes a special board meeting.

877
01:11:59,810 --> 01:12:01,670
I mean, it's just a feast of purpose.

878
01:12:01,670 --> 01:12:10,650
because committees are recommending or not a approval for it, so I'm just a little confused about that,

879
01:12:11,470 --> 01:12:17,970
because of all the commissions and boards I may not, and this is the only one that allows all members to attend.

880
01:12:19,530 --> 01:12:22,470
The next one question, okay, let's start with committees.

881
01:12:22,650 --> 01:12:27,410
Committees are technically two members, so it's not a form of the board, right? Correct.

882
01:12:27,410 --> 01:12:35,230
And other directors can attend those meetings, as long as they sit there and say nothing, and then it remains a committee meeting.

883
01:12:36,250 --> 01:12:44,090
As a matter of policy, just district many years ago said, look, we want our directors to be able to attend committee meetings and participate.

884
01:12:45,870 --> 01:12:49,810
And so that is why they are noticed as special meetings.

885
01:12:49,910 --> 01:12:54,490
If you need to this district, I've never had anybody else do it, but it is legal.

886
01:12:54,490 --> 01:13:06,410
And really, that's a policy question if the board wants to change that and go back to a strict committee's structure or eliminate committees altogether, it can do I don't want that that's a policy question.

887
01:13:06,870 --> 01:13:12,290
Okay, so board can actually go back and say, committee meetings are committee meetings.

888
01:13:13,110 --> 01:13:15,370
Yes, that is a policy issue for the board.

889
01:13:17,110 --> 01:13:17,210
Yeah.

890
01:13:17,210 --> 01:13:17,850
And I'm surprised.

891
01:13:17,850 --> 01:13:20,110
President Alvarado, you didn't ask me about

892
01:13:20,110 --> 01:13:21,830
tangerine ever's the chance.

893
01:13:23,830 --> 01:13:26,050
Go ahead, explain to me.

894
01:13:27,470 --> 01:13:28,730
I already did.

895
01:13:28,990 --> 01:13:29,950
I can go through it again.

896
01:13:30,190 --> 01:13:31,690
Great double play combination.

897
01:13:33,310 --> 01:13:35,090
Chicago Cubs 1906.

898
01:13:36,290 --> 01:13:37,690
Who's on first?

899
01:13:37,730 --> 01:13:38,230
Yeah.

900
01:13:39,170 --> 01:13:40,470
No, now who's on first.

901
01:13:40,690 --> 01:13:43,170
I don't know who's on second.

902
01:13:45,210 --> 01:13:45,470
Ever.

903
01:13:45,970 --> 01:13:47,030
Yeah, that's who's there.

904
01:13:47,030 --> 01:13:49,550
I don't know.

905
01:13:49,570 --> 01:13:52,350
Mr. President, may I ask a follow-up question?

906
01:13:52,750 --> 01:13:53,370
Sure, everyone.

907
01:13:53,530 --> 01:13:54,250
I'd like to have a debate.

908
01:13:56,670 --> 01:13:59,410
I'll make a follow-up question on that committee.

909
01:14:00,010 --> 01:14:05,570
Where, which policy do we currently have that says what you just said,

910
01:14:09,610 --> 01:14:15,250
I'm pretty sure it's there.

911
01:14:16,610 --> 01:14:17,010
So it's that.

912
01:14:17,010 --> 01:14:25,670
on. So I will extract it. It is there and we did discuss it at the last planning committee meeting

913
01:14:25,670 --> 01:14:30,770
and that was one of the proposed changes that I made to that version. So yes.

914
01:14:30,970 --> 01:14:36,390
Do you have a member being there? I just we're not following how like maybe somewhere else that's

915
01:14:36,390 --> 01:14:44,970
another policy that we're not following. Now we got. That was a policy decision made sometime ago.

916
01:14:45,590 --> 01:14:59,390
So when you say policy decision, don't we actually have to change the policy because I believe the current policy says in writing that committees are two and then we have three and you have to have all the other stuff.

917
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:20,700
Yes, that's correct. So the policy that as it's written currently allows for it, the provision basically says that it can be noticed as a special meeting and that's been the practice to allow for what make is referring to the policy decision that previous boards made about wanting that structure.

918
01:15:20,700 --> 01:15:27,880
the revised policy and procedures that I proposed and we talked about the planning committee,

919
01:15:28,100 --> 01:15:33,820
we rewrote that section so that that, so that that wouldn't be there, and I think

920
01:15:33,820 --> 01:15:38,780
we put in something about, you know, if a board member, a noncommittee member wanted to attend

921
01:15:38,780 --> 01:15:44,020
that they would have to notify us, I think it was like 11 days in advance or something to that effect.

922
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:49,520
I don't have it in front of me, so that we could then notice it as a special board meeting.

923
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:57,480
So anyway, so it's there and we can certainly talk about it further, but it is, that's a proposed change that staff is recommending.

924
01:15:59,500 --> 01:16:00,960
Thank you for asking you.

925
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:02,960
Okay, thank you.

926
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:04,800
Next item please.

927
01:16:05,100 --> 01:16:06,940
I'll present another question.

928
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:10,060
Right.

929
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:12,200
So,

930
01:16:13,220 --> 01:16:14,540
the stone is committees.

931
01:16:15,540 --> 01:16:21,020
So I think the bigger issue is not just that another board member attends,

932
01:16:21,020 --> 01:16:27,260
is that the committee may become a quasi board meeting.

933
01:16:28,830 --> 01:16:32,330
Yes, and that's what I think the concern is, right?

934
01:16:33,150 --> 01:16:37,270
But it's now now longer committee meeting.

935
01:16:37,890 --> 01:16:43,230
So if one of us wants to attend one of the committee meetings,

936
01:16:43,230 --> 01:16:44,450
I think it's fine.

937
01:16:45,030 --> 01:16:49,690
As long as you attend your capacity as an observer of the committee meeting,

938
01:16:49,690 --> 01:16:52,430
not as a member of the meeting itself.

939
01:16:54,210 --> 01:16:57,650
And so I think that's what we were, and you're great

940
01:16:57,650 --> 01:16:59,650
in the background for the Navarado,

941
01:16:59,970 --> 01:17:05,910
that's the kind of guidance or what that we're looking for is that

942
01:17:05,910 --> 01:17:09,070
we needed a distinction between the commitment,

943
01:17:10,230 --> 01:17:11,830
meeting and the board meeting.

944
01:17:12,150 --> 01:17:13,350
And the effort to,

945
01:17:13,590 --> 01:17:17,890
where there was one committee meeting, but everybody showed that.

946
01:17:17,890 --> 01:17:25,750
And there was literally no difference between it being a board meeting, except for the fact

947
01:17:25,750 --> 01:17:32,850
that it was the planning meeting, but it looks like a board meeting, and an actual board meeting.

948
01:17:34,050 --> 01:17:40,870
And we really need to keep those separate, and I don't, I personally think we need to make

949
01:17:40,870 --> 01:17:46,330
sure that if you're going to attend, and I think there was something that Director Weiner

950
01:17:46,330 --> 01:17:50,290
and he said, I'm here, but I'm not here.

951
01:17:51,570 --> 01:17:52,910
So, that's the way it should be.

952
01:17:53,170 --> 01:17:56,330
And that's the way it should be if you're going in,

953
01:17:56,350 --> 01:17:59,170
you know, if I'm going to attend the global warming meeting,

954
01:17:59,270 --> 01:18:01,350
I'm there, but at that point,

955
01:18:01,670 --> 01:18:04,710
I'm not there as a director, I'm there observing,

956
01:18:05,730 --> 01:18:07,390
because I'm interested in the warming,

957
01:18:07,550 --> 01:18:09,090
I'm going to sit in, and observe.

958
01:18:09,690 --> 01:18:13,970
So, I think that we need to make that distinction.

959
01:18:13,970 --> 01:18:23,390
if we're attending the committee meetings and soaking it in and not attending to, you know,

960
01:18:23,510 --> 01:18:32,650
in our capacity of directors because they've changed the nature and the tenor of the meeting

961
01:18:32,650 --> 01:18:41,690
in and of itself. That's correct. That was previously the in this interim time,

962
01:18:41,690 --> 01:18:48,930
The way that it was done in person is that the committee members would sit where the board

963
01:18:48,930 --> 01:18:54,390
evenly sits and then the other members, if they did attend, they sat in the audience essentially.

964
01:18:55,370 --> 01:19:01,050
In these meetings, the way in which it can be accomplished is that the non-committee members

965
01:19:01,050 --> 01:19:07,350
can simply enter through the public portal as if you're just a member of the public observing the meeting.

966
01:19:07,350 --> 01:19:17,330
So you still can hear the discussion. I think it's still submit a question. I don't I don't know that answer Mickey can address that but anyway

967
01:19:17,330 --> 01:19:23,590
The way in which you could do it is by going through the public portal and then it's very clear that you're attending the meeting

968
01:19:23,590 --> 01:19:34,310
Just as any member of the public and not at participating in the discussion which then if you did become that special board meeting that you're talking about wanting to avoid.

969
01:19:34,310 --> 01:19:38,650
Now, that's all correct. We're getting a little off the presentation here.

970
01:19:39,910 --> 01:19:43,350
You'll wave at the prior board try to balance that policy.

971
01:19:43,870 --> 01:19:46,830
It was also saying that when committee meetings are noticed

972
01:19:46,830 --> 01:19:49,610
the special board meetings, they still only make recommendations

973
01:19:49,610 --> 01:19:54,450
not decisions, such that all decisions still had to come to one of the regular meetings.

974
01:19:56,030 --> 01:19:58,890
Yeah, I think that the, I think that the feast of purpose of committees

975
01:19:58,890 --> 01:20:03,210
and we definitely need to discuss this further as a full board

976
01:20:03,210 --> 01:20:10,170
Because I want committees to have the power to be a recommending for it. I mean if we want to have board meetings to discuss stuff

977
01:20:10,650 --> 01:20:17,170
Eventually it's gonna come back to the full board anyway. I mean the committees don't even make recommendations. It'll make approvals

978
01:20:17,170 --> 01:20:26,710
So I think having committees that all the board attends is non-productive. It really is just like having extra meetings

979
01:20:26,710 --> 01:20:32,710
So we really need to get back to the nature of committee meetings and that's my recommendation

980
01:20:36,630 --> 01:20:43,490
And it's included in the updated policies and procedures and so we'll bring that forward

981
01:20:43,490 --> 01:20:52,350
for the boards to consider you can make that change so policies and procedures and then you can put it in effect and it'll be accurately reflected in the document.

982
01:20:53,210 --> 01:20:53,810
Okay.

983
01:20:53,910 --> 01:20:54,630
Thank you, Lisa.

984
01:20:55,270 --> 01:20:56,770
Next item, please.

985
01:20:57,490 --> 01:21:04,490
Matters from Members of the Board, A is meeting reports reports on committee activities, conferences, seminars, meetings,

986
01:21:04,490 --> 01:21:07,650
pertaining to the overall operations of the district.

987
01:21:09,410 --> 01:21:14,530
All right, I'd like to know if the, the ad hoc committee has a set of date for meeting yet.

988
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:22,720
Yes, we set it up for today and we met actually right before this meeting.

989
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:27,460
We are going to be getting ready to schedule another one in two weeks.

990
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,180
We did really good work.

991
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:40,180
And we are moving it along, so we should have another date where we send an email out soon to schedule another one for two weeks.

992
01:21:41,020 --> 01:21:42,160
Okay, thank you so much.

993
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:43,320
Correct, Mr. Peda.

994
01:21:43,940 --> 01:21:44,840
Welcome, President Morgan.

995
01:21:47,290 --> 01:21:47,750
Anybody else?

996
01:21:48,670 --> 01:21:49,310
Director Stanley?

997
01:21:52,220 --> 01:21:53,680
No, thank you.

998
01:21:53,980 --> 01:21:54,600
Director Weenor.

999
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:58,800
These are reports from our meetings that we had yet.

1000
01:21:59,700 --> 01:22:01,020
No, this is a...

1001
01:22:01,020 --> 01:22:02,180
Yeah, yeah, it is.

1002
01:22:02,180 --> 01:22:16,780
Yeah, it is. Sorry. Okay, so I attended the, attended the mayor's Zoom conference and to add on to what are you talking about the mayor of some Pablo Richmond?

1003
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:21,100
No, mayor's conference. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, got you.

1004
01:22:21,100 --> 01:22:24,440
the mayor's conference conference, county mayor's conference.

1005
01:22:24,780 --> 01:22:25,740
I'd like to thank you.

1006
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,060
On to add on to what Andrew said,

1007
01:22:29,740 --> 01:22:33,680
it's not only the city of Richmond that is going to have

1008
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:36,720
budget shortfalls going forward,

1009
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:39,140
according to the report,

1010
01:22:39,900 --> 01:22:42,420
legislative report, it's everyone.

1011
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:47,960
So from the state down to counties down to cities,

1012
01:22:49,260 --> 01:22:57,280
everybody's budgets have been or will be affected by the loss of sales tax etc. However,

1013
01:22:57,500 --> 01:23:03,440
they get their revenues, revenues are down, will be down. So that was what I found out

1014
01:23:03,440 --> 01:23:11,270
that that meeting had a great global warming committee meeting. Awesome work is being done.

1015
01:23:13,710 --> 01:23:20,530
I attended the legislative day, days on Monday and Tuesday.

1016
01:23:21,270 --> 01:23:28,890
Tuesday was a live conference, and Monday there were three webinars posted.

1017
01:23:30,850 --> 01:23:40,670
And the one I watched on Monday was all about doubt hers, and I asked some questions about

1018
01:23:40,670 --> 01:23:49,490
what I think I knew or found out of Justin, and he got back to me, and it was about

1019
01:23:49,490 --> 01:24:00,770
unfunded kitchen libraries and how they worked. And then on Tuesday there was the actual

1020
01:24:00,770 --> 01:24:09,450
legislative discussion, and it was all about the advocacy that they want all of the individual

1021
01:24:09,450 --> 01:24:38,410
districts to do going forward and I will be submitting a report regarding that and it's all online and I think whoever wanted to go and attend and missed it you can you can still look at the old meeting on Tuesday and it was a three hour meeting and then Monday the webinars are still up for review.

1022
01:24:39,630 --> 01:24:44,450
That's my reward. Thank you director. We know director to say anything further.

1023
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:53,500
Sorry, I can move my mouse. My dog is moving my arm.

1024
01:24:54,440 --> 01:24:55,420
No, nothing further.

1025
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:58,000
Thank you. My president's letters.

1026
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:03,220
I was just really quickly. I also attended legislative days.

1027
01:25:05,260 --> 01:25:07,660
And I'll give you a report.

1028
01:25:08,620 --> 01:25:17,320
They've been busy with, I'm doing extra work with trying to get our senses done in our area.

1029
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:26,660
So, we're going to fetch all of us in one way or the other and get in some money into our part of the county.

1030
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:31,960
I'm quite a few other days in a good day.

1031
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,960
This is the legislative period, ACLU Day.

1032
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:38,540
We actually have one of the days today.

1033
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:41,040
So I will send the report.

1034
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:45,340
I won't be late because it's getting close to time for me to break fast.

1035
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:45,920
I'm done.

1036
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:46,800
You got it.

1037
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,120
Thank you Vice President, sir.

1038
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:50,260
I have nothing.

1039
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:52,100
Next item, please.

1040
01:25:52,100 --> 01:25:59,400
But if the order report on events, when I just did, report on events and activities, which

1041
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,740
may be of interest members of the board and community members.

1042
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:05,660
Okay, let's go down the line, direct to Stanley.

1043
01:26:07,980 --> 01:26:08,780
I don't know.

1044
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:10,760
Thank you.

1045
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:11,580
Direct the winner?

1046
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:13,200
Nope.

1047
01:26:13,900 --> 01:26:14,200
No, no.

1048
01:26:14,480 --> 01:26:14,980
Especially words.

1049
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:15,380
Okay.

1050
01:26:15,380 --> 01:26:15,820
Thank you.

1051
01:26:15,860 --> 01:26:16,620
Dark the Spada.

1052
01:26:19,450 --> 01:26:19,950
No reports.

1053
01:26:20,850 --> 01:26:21,250
Thank you.

1054
01:26:21,550 --> 01:26:22,870
Thank you.

1055
01:26:22,870 --> 01:26:24,050
Vice President Settiff?

1056
01:26:26,050 --> 01:26:26,290
Yes.

1057
01:26:26,290 --> 01:26:32,370
All set and I'm good. Next item please.

1058
01:26:33,170 --> 01:26:43,690
Future agenda items. Informal observations and inquiries regarding the business of the district or request for placement of items of interest on future agenda items.

1059
01:26:45,010 --> 01:26:45,990
Doctor Stanley.

1060
01:26:47,630 --> 01:26:48,070
No.

1061
01:26:49,550 --> 01:26:50,270
There are the weiner.

1062
01:26:51,350 --> 01:26:57,410
There was some you mentioned, I was asking a question and you said, maybe we should make that a future picture of the item.

1063
01:26:57,750 --> 01:27:01,710
Anybody else beside me, remember what that was?

1064
01:27:07,860 --> 01:27:10,480
I'm sorry, I wanted to add.

1065
01:27:14,130 --> 01:27:15,290
I'm sorry, what did you say?

1066
01:27:16,490 --> 01:27:20,830
I said I do remember something I wanted to add whenever you'd get done.

1067
01:27:21,270 --> 01:27:23,070
Yeah, well, right back to you, thank you.

1068
01:27:23,070 --> 01:27:26,810
I'm obviously done because I can't remember what it was. I wanted to read it.

1069
01:27:26,850 --> 01:27:28,830
I'll be looking forward as well.

1070
01:27:29,150 --> 01:27:29,970
All right, Derek, do you want to participate?

1071
01:27:31,830 --> 01:27:33,710
Nothing for me.

1072
01:27:34,050 --> 01:27:34,970
Vice President Svetta?

1073
01:27:36,730 --> 01:27:42,190
Yeah, I would like to hear about the training plans that we have,

1074
01:27:42,190 --> 01:27:46,510
the transitional training plans that we have for him resources.

1075
01:27:47,710 --> 01:27:49,590
I mean, please like that.

1076
01:27:51,550 --> 01:27:58,410
I know that it's not finished, so at some point in the near future, I would like to hear about that.

1077
01:27:59,070 --> 01:27:59,370
All right.

1078
01:28:00,350 --> 01:28:01,330
Thank you.

1079
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,250
Vice President of the Senate.

1080
01:28:02,770 --> 01:28:03,490
Director Stanley?

1081
01:28:07,290 --> 01:28:13,690
I would like to bring up the subject of a grant writer, again,

1082
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:17,360
to search for money.

1083
01:28:19,710 --> 01:28:20,050
Okay.

1084
01:28:21,330 --> 01:28:22,450
Thank you.

1085
01:28:22,750 --> 01:28:35,130
And the only thing I want on future agenda items is to discuss the committee structures and and how we're doing it right now, but it sounds like it's already on the policy and procedures of the board.

1086
01:28:35,190 --> 01:28:38,050
So I'll wait for that to come up.

1087
01:28:38,310 --> 01:28:40,110
Next item, please.

1088
01:28:41,910 --> 01:28:50,750
Thank you all very much, y'all stay safe, have a great weekend, a great week, and take care.

1089
01:28:51,010 --> 01:28:52,450
The German 8 o'clock.

1090
01:28:52,870 --> 01:28:54,190
Thank you.

1091
01:28:54,630 --> 01:28:57,390
Have a great holiday weekend.

1092
01:28:57,850 --> 01:28:59,250
Bye bye.
