“That's a great idea. So we'll send to Josh before the meeting whatever it is. And what I'm envisioning here is something that, even if everybody agreed to it, could be votable. It would be not written up as a resolution. I'm just saying it would be a recommendation or a piece of advice to the council. We recommend blah, blah, blah, something like that.”

“It seems like our approach thus far to the LUMO meetings has been to have them in person because they're important. It sends a signal about that and facilitates at least some public involvement among people who want to come. So I just assume continue that unless others don't want to do it. Okay. Sorry, Josh, but I guess we'd like to notify whoever the applicant is that you'll be in person.”

It's kind of a weird procedural thing where whatever we. Say it cannot legally be conveyed to the Council who in our purpose really in general is to advise the Council so. this glitch is being fixed in the next version of the LUMO, but it hasn't been fixed yet.

“Okay, so let me just, are there any questions on that before we vote?
