“So what is the attendance requirement again? So I understand that the commissioner can decide in the end to keep, to keep, to replace, to name a new one. You know, of course they can. But what are the attendance requirements and what's the process? Like Nansun has missed 90, 95% of our meetings, I would say, in the past two years. And so, so how does the commissioner even know that they're, their appointed board member is missing all of these meetings. Have you communicated this officially to the commissioner and said, this is his attendance record and we have a problem with the code here?”

“Thank you, Florence. So, the next item, I'm going to take the word here. The next item is a resolution that I submitted recommending an amendment to the master plan, the interim master plan that we have approved, to add a new section on program administration. The master plan currently has no section on how the program is administered, how the projects get to the board, or how information flows between departments and this board.
