I might be on, I'm not sure yet, but I just wanted to give you the heads up.

All right, moving down the dais. Commissioner, I'm sorry, Vice Chair Justice. All good. Commissioner Shaikh.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to thank the staff for all the hard work and also our colleagues on the dais also. To work together, I understand it takes a lot of hours of work to get to this level, to be able to expedite. So I appreciate everyone's time, and I know it's very valuable. So thank you.

Yes. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you so much. All right. Commissioner Carroll. Okay, well, I just want to bring something up briefly for you to think about. I was informed, and I guess I didn't realize it, because I have watched the Board of Supervisors hearings before, but just want you guys to think about, I did speak with Mr. McGettigan about it, in that when they have items on the expedited agenda, they just lump them all together, make one motion, anyone can make the motion, and they approve it. Am I, I am correct, right?

So in the effort of efficiency, I think that that might be something that we should consider doing as well.

Any comments? I would just say that sometimes we make recommendations, and usually the board at that point doesn't make recommendations. You know, I think that's going to – it's final at that point. So, I mean, that's their opportunity to make recommendations.

Okay. Vice Chair Justice? All good. Oh, your light was on, that's why. Well, I'm getting ready to second an adjournment. Okay now, all right, we're moving on to item 13, the adjourn the meeting.
