SO ITEM FOUR IN OUR AGENDA IS DISCUSSION.

AS I RECALL, THIS ITEM WAS DEFERRED FROM THE LAST MEETING BECAUSE OF JUST THE SNA WHO SIGNED THE FORMS ACCORDING TO OUR RULES AND THE STATE LAW, WE HAD TO REDO IT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR YOUR RUSS? NO, IT WAS VERY, IT WAS VERY CLEAR.
SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, WHAT YOU HAD IS WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE.

AND IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND.
UH, I KNOW THAT OFFICER SMITH WAS HERE THE LAST TIME, NOT HERE TODAY, BUT WELCOME OFFICER SMITH TO UH, THE PLAN AND THAT ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.
THAT IS, UH, UNANIMOUS AS WELL.
I WOULD JUST, ONE OF THE THINGS I JUST POINT OUT TO THE NEW MEMBERS AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, BUT THE REASON IT'S NOVEMBER 15TH IS THERE IS THAT PERIOD OF TIME FROM HIGHER, THAT'S THEIR OPPORTUNITY AND IT'S EFFECTIVE.
SO OUR WINDOW AS A BOARD TO ME IS IN THAT TIMEFRAME.
SO IN THEORY WE COULD MEET THE 14TH OF NOVEMBER OR SOMEWHERE IN THAT TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT IT.
SO JUST A REFERENCE POINT IN FUTURE, THAT'S OUR TIMELINE IS THAT 90 DAYS FROM INITIAL HIRED.
I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT FOR THE FUTURE.

EFFECTIVE TODAY, OCTOBER 6TH, 2026.

SO WE'LL HAVE THOSE AND KIND OF EVER THAT MAYBE EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A MEETING REGARDLESS.
AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL WANNA HAVE SCHEDULED REGULAR MEETINGS OR IF YOU WANT TO DO 'EM AS NEEDED.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WOULD WANT TO GIVE HER DIRECTION SO THAT GOING FORWARD, WE HAD HAD LIKE REGULARLY QUARTER MEETINGS THAT WE HAD PUT OUT ON A CALENDAR.
BUT WHAT IS THE GROUP'S DIRECTION TO HER? YOU KNOW WHAT OUR EXPERIENCE, MY EXPERIENCE HAVING GONE THROUGH THIS NOW FOR
[00:05:01]
A LOT OF YEARS IS THAT IT IS GOOD FOR US TO PUT OUR QUARTERLY MEETINGS ON THE SCHEDULE AND IF WE DON'T NEED 'EM, WE CAN CANCEL.IT'S HARDER AT THE LAST MINUTE TO PUT MEETINGS ON THAN NOT.
