HOWEVER, HUMAN RESOURCES DID NOT HAVE A CLASSIFICATION SPECIFICATION CREATED FOR THE POSITION ON OCTOBER 14TH, 2023.

AND IS THAT WHAT THE RATING OF 70? IS THAT WHAT MUST BE ATTAINED? YES.
SO I THINK THAT HAVING THE PERCENTAGE BEHIND A HUNDRED AND THEN KNOWING THAT IT'S A RATING, NOT A PERCENTAGE.
I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS, THAT MAY BE A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING.

CAN I GET A MOTION IN SECOND? YES.
SO DOES IT SAY ON THE ADDITION, I BELIEVE IT'S ONE THROUGH FOUR, THIS AGENDA SAYS THREE.
WHAT'S THIS THREE SAYS? WELL, THE CLASSIFICATION FOUR.
IT, WELL, WE ALWAYS INCLUDE THE ENTIRE CLASSIFICATION, SO I I DON'T THINK YOU'RE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT OUT OF, YOU ARE LOOKING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT OUTTA A FOUR.
OUR THINK IT'S, THESE ARE FOR THREES, BUT WE ALWAYS REQUEST IT FOR THE FULL CLASSIFICATION.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO BE, GARY? THAT IS OR IS THE FULL ATION TWO FOUR.
UM, SO WHAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION OF FOR JUST ONE THREE OR, WELL, THEY'LL BE LOOKING FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT A THREE LEVEL.
WE CAN AMEND IT TO INCLUDE THAT.
I THINK WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST WHERE WE, WE JUST SURVEY A IN, IN AGENDA CORRECTION AND THEN REPUBLISH IT.
BUT I, I CAN PULL UP THE PAST CONVERSATIONS BUT THE DEPARTMENT ONLY WANTS OR THREE, CORRECT? CORRECT.
I THINK THE WORDING FINDING IT'S ONLY A TWO THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? YES.
DOES IT, DID IT, DOES IT HAVE TO BE THE SAME ON THE NO DOCUMENTS? IT DOESN'T, NO.
STEVEN, THE CIVIL SERVICE MACHINE IS OUT THERE.
UH, CORRESPONDENCE HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM ELSA LAW PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATOR OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT REQUESTING THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION'S AUTHORIZATION OF THE SELECTIVE CERTIFICATION FOR CLERK TYPIST ONE THROUGH FOUR WITH THE WORKING TITLE OF POLICE RECORDS TECHNICIAN, UM, ALSO KNOWN AS PRT.
THE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES FOR THE PRT OF PRT
[00:20:01]
ARE UNIQUE AND REQUIRE A HIGHLY SPECIALIZED WORKING UNDERSTANDING OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PRACTICES AND BASIC OPERATIONS OF POLICE RECORDS FUNCTIONS, UH, POLICE PROCEDURES, RULES, REGULATIONS, TERMINOLOGY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT CODES, AND THE PROCESSES RELATED TO THE RELEASE OF DATA AND REPORTS TO THE PUBLIC AND OTHER AGENCIES.UH, PUBLIC RECORDS TECHNICIANS MUST UNDERSTAND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE NATIONAL CRIME INFORMATION INFORMATION CENTER AND THE CALIFORNIA LAW ENFORCEMENT TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM AS RELATED TO THEIR ASSIGNED WORK FUNCTIONS.
UH, THEY REQUIRE NEARLY A YEAR OF TRAINING TO BE FULLY TRAINED IN THEIR OPERATIONS OF THEIR ROLE.
STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS REQUEST AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THE SELECTIVE CERTIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE TO ARTICLE FOUR, SECTION 28 OF THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND SECTION 2.26 OF THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
SOME FACTS FOR CONSIDERATIONS.
THIS REQUEST IS TO FILL FOUR CLERK TYPIST ONE THROUGH FOUR, UM, POLICE RECORDS, TECHNICIAN POSITIONS, AND THE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DIVISION.
AND IN JULY, 2023, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED THE MOST RECENT CLERK TYPIST ONE THROUGH FOUR ELIGIBLE LIST, WHICH CONSISTED OF 110 CANDIDATES AND A SELECTIVE CERT LIST RESULTING FROM THE TARGETED RECRUITMENT CONTAINING 85 NAMES FOR THE CLERK TYPIST ONE THROUGH FOUR.
UH, POLICE RECORDS TECHNICIAN, UH, SELECTIVE CERT.
THE DEPARTMENT REACHED OUT TO ALL OF THE CANDIDATES ON THE LIST AND 10 HIRES WERE MADE.
BUT FOUR VACANCIES REMAIN DUE IN PART TO THE CHALLENGES OF ATTRACTING CANDIDATES GOING TO WORK LESS DESIRABLE SHIFTS AND WEEKENDS, UH, FURTHER COMPOUNDED BY ATTRITION RESULTING FROM RETIREMENTS AND PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
UH, SHOULD THE SELECTIVE ERT BE GRANTED BY THE COMMISSION CIVIL SERVICE STAFF IS PREPARED TO OPEN A NEW RECRUITMENT TO IDENTIFY AND RECRUIT FOR THE SPECIALIZED SKILLS NEEDED TO FULFILL THE DEPARTMENT'S NEEDS.
UH, DEPARTMENT STAFF HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THIS ITEM IS ON TODAY'S AGENDA AND ARE PRESENT TODAY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER, IS THERE A MOTION BY THE COMMISSION TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE RECOMMENDATION SO THAT IT IS CLERK TUS ONE THROUGH FOUR TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE REPORT THAT YOU JUST HEARD? I WAS JUST GONNA SAY I HEARD YOU SAY FOUR.
SO THIS IS JUST, JUST FOR THE, UH, CHANGE OF LIGHT, THE RECOMMENDATION ONE THROUGH FOUR.
NOW ANY DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM? I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.
DID YOU SAY THERE'S A ONE PROBATION FOR THIS? DID I HEAR IT CORRECTLY? IT'S A SIX MONTH PROBATION.
THAT'S WHAT I, I THOUGHT I WHEN YEAR TRAINING.
TO SEE, BUT THE PROBATION, SIX PROBATION, IS THIS STILL A POSITION THAT'S, UM, IF I DIDN'T GET TO HIRE FOR, IT'S BEEN CHALLENGING, UM, TO HIRE FOR, WE DID HAVE SUCCESS IN BRINGING ON 10 NEW CANDIDATES, UM, AS EMPLOYEES.
WE DIDN'T FILL THE FULL 11 THAT WE HAD INITIALLY, AND THEN WE HAD SOME FOLKS PROMOTE AND THEN SOME FOLKS RETIRE AS A RESULT.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE STILL AT THE FOUR.
UM, BUT I WOULD ADD THAT WHAT DID THE REPORT DID NOT INCLUDE WAS THAT WE ACTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY HIRED ANOTHER FIVE INDIVIDUALS FOR OUR BOOKING DETAILS.
SO IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL RECRUITMENT.
AND SO WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THE SAME
WE NOT, YEAH, IT'S NOT BEEN FULLY STAFFED IN MANY YEARS.
WE ALWAYS HAD A VAC IN THAT DIVISION.
[14. 24-55194 Recommendation to receive and file reports from the Civil Service Managers. Suggested Action: Approve recommendation. ]
TO RECEIVE AND FILE REPORTS FROM CIVIL SERVICE MANAGER.AND I'LL START ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH MARIA.
GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS AND GOOD MORNING EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE.
UH, WE ARE READY TO PRESENT FOR THE FISCAL 2025 BUDGET ON THE NEXT MEETING.
UM, ROBERT HAS HEARD AN AMAZING PRESENTATION.
HE'S DONE A LOT OF WORK ON RESEARCHING AND GIVING YOU ALL THE INFORMATION THAT, UM, WILL PRESENT THE FOLLOWING,
[00:25:01]
UH, MEETING.AND THEN IN CLOSING, OUR FISCAL YEAR, UH, STAFF HAS BEEN BUSY AND PAYING ALL THE INVOICES.
WE HAVE A VERY TIGHT FISCAL YEAR, 2024.
UH, WE ARE IN COMMUNICATION WITH OUR BUDGET ANALYST, JUST IN CASE WE DO NEED TO ASK FOR A BUDGET ENHANCEMENT.
UH, WE BELIEVE IT'S GONNA BE VERY TIGHT, BUT WE STILL THINK WE'RE GONNA CLOSE THIS MEETING, UM, WITHIN BUDGET OF THE MONTH.
UM, BUT WE WILL KEEP EVERYONE INFORMED, UH, AS WE DO THAT.
UM, ALSO, THIS IS THE TIME FOR OUR DIVISION TO BE SUPER BUSY BECAUSE IT'S A TRANSITION FROM, UH, ENDING THE FISCAL YEAR.
ALTHOUGH IT'S ALREADY ENDED SEPTEMBER 30TH, WE STILL HAVE UNTIL NOVEMBER TO COMPLETE PAYING THE INVOICES.
AND THEN IT OFFICIALLY CLOSES THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE ALSO TRANSITIONING THAT WE STARTED THE SCHOOL OF 2025.
UH, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF INVOICES THAT PURCHASE ORDERS THAT WE NEED TO ESTABLISH AT THE BEGINNING OF YEAR.
UH, SO WE ARE BUSY DOING THAT.
AND ALONG WITH THAT, WE ALSO MANAGE THE CITYWIDE, UM, REQUISITIONS.
SO THEREFORE ANY POSITIONS THAT WERE GRANTED CITYWIDE, UM, WE SEE AN, UM, AN INCREASE OF REQUISITIONS COMING IN FOR THOSE NEW POSITIONS.
SO, UM, AMAZING TEAM I HAVE AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
BUT WE'RE TREMENDOUS AT SCHOOL.
ANY QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS THERE, WHAT YOU CAN FIND OUT? HOW MANY ACTUAL NEW JOBS, UM, ARE GONNA BE CREATED FOR THIS UPCOMING, UH, FISCAL YEAR? SURE.
ARE YOU ASKING THE CITY WATER DEPARTMENT? I'D LIKE TO KNOW CITYWIDE IS POSSIBLE, YES.
AND AS FAR AS DEPARTMENT WILL BE PART OF OUR PRESENTATION, THAT INFORMATION, AND I'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU ONE, THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, JUST TO COMMENT.
I KNOW THIS IS, AS WE MENTIONED, THE THE BUSY TIME OF YEAR.
I DON'T BE YOU AS EVERYONE ELSE IS GETTING READY TO HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS.
EVERYONE IN YOUR DEPARTMENT IS, UH, WRAPPING UP THE WORK.
THAT, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW YOU DESCRIBE IT.
EVERYONE IS ON HOLIDAYS AND WE'RE BUSY.
NEEDS TO HAVE QUIET TIME TO CATCH UP, SO.
OH, SO I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE A CIVIL BUNNY.
UH, MARIA, THANK YOU TO YOUR TEAM.
I DO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT, UM, I'LL PREPARED AT SOME POINT TO GET A FURTHER EXPLANATION BECAUSE I, YOU BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF THE EXAM BEING WEIGHTED HUNDRED PERCENT VERSUS THE SCORING BECAUSE THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE THINGS.
UM, SO I JUST WANNA PUT THAT OUT THERE.
UM, STAFF LAST WEEK, THE MAJORITY EMPLOYEE SERVICES ALONG WITH, UH, ADMIN SUPPORT BASICALLY ATTENDED THE NEO CONFERENCE.
SO THAT WAS, UM, REALLY GREAT.
AND, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITY FOR NETWORKING AND FOR EMPLOYMENT SERVICES IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW OFF THAT, HEY, YOU'RE, YOU'RE DOING THINGS RIGHT.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY ONE THE LEADERS ON, UH, DOING WHAT WE DO WELL IN INSIGHT AND OHC, THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER PRODUCTS OUT THERE THAT WE'RE NOT USING, BUT THE PRODUCTS THAT WE ARE USING WE'RE MOST PROFICIENT.
SO IT'S GREAT TO GO OUT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, NETWORK AND ALSO TO BE PROUD OF THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE ANSWERING QUESTIONS.
UM, ONE THING THAT I WOULD HOPE MAYBE, UM, I KIND OF STRIVE EVERY YEAR IS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE ONE TIME A YEAR THAT STAFF REALLY NEEDS TO GO OUT AND GET THAT VERY NEEDED TRAINING AND NETWORKING THAT, YOU KNOW, I I WOULD HOPE THAT MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE THINK ABOUT MAYBE EVEN PAUSING OR SKIPPING A, UM, CONFERENCE.
I MEAN A, UM, COMMISSION MEETING BECAUSE I HAVE STAFF, THE STAFF, IT SEEMS LIKE THE STAFF THAT NEEDED THE CONFERENCE AND MOST HAD TAKE TIME OUT AND GET PREPARED FOR AGENDA.
LIKE, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AGENDA WAS NOT, UH,
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S BEEN AN ASK OF, UH, STAFF AND I DON'T WANT ADVOCATE FOR THEM.
AND, YOU KNOW, EVEN GETTING, UH, A REQUEST IN THE LATE, UM, HOUR OR SO, I JUST WANT THANK STAFF BEING ABLE TO PULL THAT TOGETHER.
[00:30:01]
AND I KNOW I MENTIONED THE PAST COUPLE, UH, COMMISSION MEETINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, UM, UH, BIG VICTORIA, YOU ACTUALLY PO A QUESTION AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH DEPARTMENTS, UM, NOT GETTING IT CORRECTLY WHEN THEY'RE PUTTING FORWARD THE HR ONE? UM, IT IS A LOT OF WORK FOR OUR ADMIN SUPPORT, A LOT OF BOXES TO LOOK THERE TO CHECK AND A LOT OF OVERSIGHT.AND, AND I JUST WANT TO COME IN STAFF, UM, AND ADMIN SUPPORT.
THEY ACTUALLY CAUGHT ANOTHER HR ONE COMING IN TO CIVIL SERVICE WHERE THEY HAD A EFFECTIVE DATE BEFORE THE PERSON WAS EVEN REFERRED TO REC.
AND IT'S LIKE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, UM, I THINK COME JANUARY WE REALLY NEED TO SHOW THE OVERSIGHT LOOKS LIKE.
UM, AND THEN I KIND OF GOING ALONG WITH WHAT MARIA ALAMO STATED, UM, I, I FEEL LIKE WE NEED, WELL, MYSELF, NEED TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT AS WHAT UH, EMPLOYMENT SERVICES STAFF ACTUALLY DOES BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING HARD.
THE STAFF'S WORKING HARD BEHIND THE SCENES.
AND YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH, UH, DECEMBER MAY BE QUIET FOR THE CITY, THAT TENDS TO NOT BE A QUIET TIME FOR EMPLOYMENT SERVICES.
I, I TRY TO TELL STAFF, HEY, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU PAUSE ON SCHEDULING EXAMS? BUT THE WORK CONTINUES TO COME AND I, I NEED TWO OF YOU A COPY OF THIS MEMO.
I'M GOING GIVE YOU WHAT SAY AS WELL, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT, I DON'T IF, UH, COMMISSION IS AWARE THAT AT BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL YEAR, UM, HR THEN NOW REACHES OUT TO THEIR DEPARTMENTS AND SAY, HEY, YOU NEEDS TO EXPIRE THOSE OLD WRECK, WHICH BY OUR RULES, THEY'RE ALREADY EXPIRED.
THOSE REQUISITIONS, HOWEVER, NOW COME OCTOBER ONE, THEY ARE NOW OFFICIALLY CANCELING REQUISITIONS WITH ALL THOSE VACANCIES THAT WERE GONE UN FIELD.
AND SO ROUGHLY, AND THIS IS UNDERSTATED, THERE ARE 156 VACANCIES THAT WE ARE NOW GONNA PROBABLY GET BOMBARDED WITH NEW REQUISITIONS, WHICH MEANS THOSE NEW REQUISITIONS ARE NOT GONNA BE TO THE PRIOR NAMES THAT THEY REFERRED.
SO NOW STAFF IS NOW GONNA BE EXTRA BUSY BECAUSE IF THEY'RE GONNA REPLACE THOSE REQUISITIONS, THEY'RE NOW LETTING YOU OUT.
SO NOW, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THE FINGER POINTING GOING ON OVER THE PAST YEAR, THIS IS IMPORTANT.
WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL VACANCIES OUT THERE THAT THEY RECEIVED
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE, WE'RE CONSTANTLY WORKING ON REQUISITIONS AND REQUESTS THAT WE RECEIVE, BUT NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE BOMBARDED NEW VACANCIES THAT REALLY AREN'T REALLY NEW VACANCIES BECAUSE THEY WERE GIVEN NAMES, BUT THEY DIDN'T DO SO REQUISITION STAFF JUST FELT LIKE IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR COMMISSION, BUT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW.
AND I, I'M PROUD THAT STAFF IS DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB WITH THE GOALS OF PRESENTATION BECAUSE IT WAS IMPORTANT.
UM, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE GOALS OF PRESENTATION.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, WORKERS' COMP, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT, UH, HR SHOWED UP THE REQUISITION FOR A POSITION THAT WE COULDN'T, WE COULDN'T RUN THE EXAM BECAUSE THE JOB, THE DESCRIPTION WASN'T CREATED.
SO, UM, WHAT I PAUSED IT, THE REQUISITION.
AND ONCE YOU, THE DEPARTMENT HR IS READY TO RUN THE EXAM, THEN YOU COULD SEND IT BACK FOR APPROVAL BECAUSE IT'S NOT OFFICIALLY RECEIVED IN CIVIL SERVICE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB DESCRIPTION COURSE TO RUN THE EXAM.
SO THOSE DATES WERE VERY IMPORTANT, PUT IN THAT PRESENTATION.
AND THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION STAFF, WE APPROVE A PROVISIONAL APPOINTMENT TO GIVE THEM SOME EXTRA TIME, BUT ONCE EVERYTHING WAS READY TO GO, UM, SOME SERVICE STAFF, WE WERE READY TO GO.
UM, SO THANK YOU FOR THE, THE PRESENTATION.
UM, SO I KNOW THIS IS PART OF ONGOING TRAINING.
[00:35:01]
DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY NEW PEOPLE IN THOSE DEPARTMENTS, UH, THAT MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE ORDER OF THINGS OR HOW THINGS GO, UM, IS WHAT YOU JUST DISCUSSED, UM, PART OF ANY TRAINING FOR THE DEPARTMENTS BEFORE WE GO DOWN THIS PATH, I THINK YOU MAY WANT TO IZE THIS AS A, AN ITEM TO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON.IT'S JUST AN UPDATE FROM THE MANAGERS FOR THE MOST PART.
SO LET'S, LET'S GO TO THE FUN PART.
WELL, I'M, I'M GLAD THAT, UH, LONG BEACH CIVIL SERVICE IS A LEADER AND, UH, WAS A LEADER AT THE CONFERENCE AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOR, FOR OTHERS WHO USE, WHO USE THE SERVICE.
UH, AND I HOPE WITH ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU GOT DONE, NOT THE TEAM HAD SOME FUN TOO.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU, FIRST OF ALL FOR, UM, RESCHEDULING, UM, BECAUSE STAFF WAS STILL PUTTING FORTH THEIR BULLETINS DURING THAT TIME AND THEY HAD PLANNED AHEAD AS WELL FOR THAT.
UM, THIS WAS GREAT THAT NOW THEY CAN POST FRIDAY.
UM, WE HAD NEW STAFF ALSO GOING TO THE CONFERENCE, SO THAT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO EXPERIENCE IT.
AND SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UM, STAFF HAS ALWAYS HAD THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING.
UM, I WANT TO HAVE A, UM, AN INTRODUCTION.
UM, WE HAVE A NEW CITY, UM, STAFF PERSON THAT, THIS IS HER FIRST CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION MEETING.
AND I KNOW SHE'S NOT GONNA LIKE THIS, BUT MARILYN FISHER IS STANDING IN FOR ARLENE CRABTREE TODAY AND SHE IS OUR NEW GRANTS COUNTY MANAGER.
AND WE GOT A CHANCE TO VISIT WITH HER, UM, WHEN SHE ARRIVED EARLY THIS MORNING.
BUT, UM, MOST NOTABLY SHE COMES FROM PORTLAND AND SO SHE MISSES THE RAIN.
I MEAN, SHE DOESN'T, SHE DOESN'T MISS THE RAIN.
BUT ANYWAY, IT'S, IT WAS JUST NICE CHATTING WITH HER BEFORE THE MEETING AND JUST WANTED TO SAY INITIALLY WELCOME AND THIS IS OUR COMMISSION AND WE HOPE YOU'LL COME BACK.
I, I REALLY DO HOPE YOU BRING SOME OF THE RAIN WITH YOU.
THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO FOGGY THIS MORNING,
AND IT, AND IT'S BEEN FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS.
WELL, THERE WAS A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE WE EXPERIENCED ZERO RAIN FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND I GOT GLOOMY BECAUSE IT WAS TOO SUNNY.
I NEEDED, I NEEDED A CHANGE OF PACE.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE FOG AND THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR THE RAIN.
I DO IMAGINE WHERE YOU'VE BEEN SAYING THAT.
UM, AND UM, FINALLY JUST OUR NEXT MEETING WILL, WE'RE, WE'RE STAYING ON TRACK.
OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE OCTOBER 23RD.
UM, I DID SEND OUT, UM, SOME INFORMATION.
I SENT OUT AN EMAIL REGARDING, UM, THE JULY HEARING.
SO IF Y'ALL COULD, UM, RESPOND BACK OF WHAT DAYS WOULD BE AVAILABLE, UM, THE 23RD, TRYING TO INCORPORATE THAT COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER A DAY THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE A HERE, UH, A MEETING, MEETING, A BUSINESS MEETING MIGHT BE THE MOST BENEFICIAL TO YOUR TIME.
SO, UM, I DID OUTLINE THAT, UM, GAVE SOME OTHER DATES, BUT ALSO DATES SINCE WE HAD OUR LAST HEARING GET SETTLED, UM, CLEARED UP SOME TIME.
SO IF YOU WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO GIVE THE OTHER ATTORNEYS THAT ARE INVOLVED TIME TO JUST BE, UM, PRESENT AT THIS AMOUNT.
AND GARY, IF THEY'RE NOT PRESENT, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DELIBERATION AND THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
BUT WE HAVE GIVE THE NOTICE RIGHT.
