“Gary, thank you very much. Rafa, if you don't mind, I'll likely be termed out. Gary's termed out. Can you put this aquarium as an agenda item for next agenda for the board members?”

“We've done very well with getting five, six, sometimes seven members for this board. Sometimes it's difficult. The item that will be heard on Thursday is to reduce the quorum, I believe, to the city attorney says it's to five. But it will certainly be easier to have a quorum than the, I think, eight we often need now. If anybody wants to go to the city commission meeting or send a comment to city commissioners, you can do that online, speaking in favor of the commissioners voting for CA4. And it's a consent agenda item, so it might not even be, we hope it isn't pulled out and dealt with…”

“We had a problem last year where both myself and the Vice Chair weren't able to attend the meeting. And instead of having the items discussed by the board members that showed up, and we had a good number of board members that showed up to discuss it as a discussion item, the meeting was terminated after five or ten minutes. Stephen would like the discussion items to be discussed, and if that situation happens again, he's hoping somebody will step up as an interim chair and discuss all the items.”

“That's true. I guess you could ask Suntec's RCI, their attorneys, or the RIC Existing tenants, Rickenbacker Marina, voluntarily show up and educate the public and this board. Yes, they have no obligation to show up, but we're on TV. It's free publicity for their issue. Anybody else have any questions or comments?”
