No staff updates. I think we took care of them earlier.

12:40•Martin Elzingre

Is there a three minute gap time requirement?

15:35 – 17:28•Martin Elzingre

First, a couple of things. I attended the first meeting, the RFA meeting with the fire department. And we elected a very capable chairman, John, who did a fantastic job running the meeting. And we are getting to work. So it's looks like it's going to be a lot of work. But we have a capable leader. And I think we have a lot of things to do. So that was good. I would like to reiterate that on the 26th, same day as the fire department grand opening, We have a lacrimous late cleanup day. That's in the morning. So we have several hundred people already attending, which is great. Lions Club, TSMC, l

17:29 – 17:56•Martin Elzingre

So I was up to mine on whether they should approve it. But anyway, LAM was very grateful. So they invited me to that ceremony. And it gets me thinking about business development and what else we can do here at Canvas. So that's all I have. Thank you, Mayor. Oh, thank you. Was that LAM, L-A-M-B? LAM Research, L-A-M.

And you can tour, people can tour the Camp Curry or the Johnson Farm and also just run down the road. So both good events.

32:51 – 35:35•John Nohr

Just briefly, I just want to mention the RFA formation. And of course, I had something pulled up here on that. So the first meeting took place on, is it Monday? I'm losing my days. Today is Monday. Happened on Wednesday. Thank you. It happened on Wednesday. Meetings will occur on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 4 p.m. at Station 42 in Grass Valley. If it happens to conflict with this meeting, because occasionally through the year, our meetings get moved to Tuesday due to a holiday, then the RFA will bump their meeting so that council members can attend this meeting. We'll probably

I overlooked one thing I wanted to tell everybody about because it happens before our next meeting. On the 20th, it's Race to Cure ALD. And until I met Terry Weiner, who served on our former government committee, I met her at a separate event and found out. I learned a little bit about this event for 10-year-old sons, this disease. It's an incurable cancer or infection. No, no cure for 10 year old son suffers from it. They're holding a run, walk and gather play event at get together farm, which you wouldn't might know is john Spencer's business. So just a heads up, you can find it it's if you

It's also a walk. A 5K run or a one-mile walk.
