“Both of those. Okay. Al, by any chance, do we have any understanding of whether Commissioner Amsler has availability on that, like those dates? I'm going back. Okay. Well, I'm, you know, I'm remiss to reset it without knowing when she's here, but this is really our, probably our only opportunity to do it. How is, I'm not available on the 8th, and I'm going to be flying back on the 10th. I just don't know what time yet. Okay. And I can be here on Zoom on the 9th. So are we all right? I'm sorry? Should we say that again? I'm sorry.”

“Well, very good. Well, that handles the resolution. You know, I'm sure everyone has seen over the last couple of days, there's been a lot of attention drawn to, and we've heard this evening here about the item with freebie. You know, Art, I know you didn't have the benefit of being with us when we discussed it. You know, it was my intention to ask the commission this evening if there's a desire to, what's the motion, John?”

“And just to be clear from a procedural perspective, John, we wouldn't be able to take that action here this evening because it's not on the agenda and it's a special meeting agenda is that correct robert's rules of order uh specifically provides that um”

“that uh commissioner hams was not here uh we don't know if uh you know if she's going to make the special meeting and then we're back to a two with two two people um so point but i think the i think the the answer to that is that in setting a special agenda meeting uh the manager or the clerk is allowed to pull commissioners via email to get a date for which that person would each of us is available okay good We don't all have to agree on the date right now. We can say, hey, let's hold a one-item special agenda on this issue, or you'll have the benefit of being with us to discuss it, and we…”

“I know we got some of the data from Paul, too, on that, I think, right? From the finance? On the numbers? I think Paul had supported something. Did Paul prepare anything, or am I completely misremembering? Maybe I'm misremembering. All right, so in that case, I know we have a federal holiday on the 19th. If we tentatively set it for Thursday...”

“So then why don't we do this? I want to give us enough time to go back to the state. Why don't we tentatively set it for Thursday? And if we have an issue, if Commissioner Amsler is unavailable, we can look at early next week, but I really don't want to push it past. I really don't want to go past Tuesday, Wednesday of next week because every day, new weight is every day. It's another day towards expiration, I guess. So are we comfortable setting it tentatively for Thursday night?”

“okay so then at this point we'll yes thank you so we'll have the special meeting we're tentatively set for Thursday if there's any issues that come up or if we need to reschedule I know you can call us to reset for early next week if we have to but for right now tentatively we'll look at Thursday night okay all right Well, very good. Well, then we'll plan on being back on Thursday. And that covers all of our work here for this evening. So I'll ask for a motion to adjourn. Motion to adjourn.”
