UH, WE CAN DO THAT ON OUR OWN.
WE ALREADY CUT OF ALL THE SERVICES.
THE, THE PROPERTY DOESN'T, HAS ELECTRICITY, NO WATER.
AND VERY SOON THEY'RE GONNA GO REMOVE THE, THE METER.
I I DO WANNA LET YOU KNOW THAT, UM, I, I REVIEWED THE PICTURE THAT SHE WANTS TO SHOW YOU.
IT, IT, IT'S JUST A PICTURE OF THE INJURY THAT HER HUSBAND SUSTAINED.
SO I, UM, WHAT, WHAT SHE SAID IS, IS TRUSTWORTHY, BUT I I I, I I THINK WE'RE GONNA REFRAIN FROM SHOWING THOSE, THOSE MEDICAL PICTURES.
COUNSEL, PROCEED IF YOU WOULD PLEASE.
ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS IF YOU CAN GIVE US SOME MORE MONTHS SO THEY CAN GIVE US A PERMIT TO DEMOLISH EVERYTHING.
ANYTHING ELSE THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO ADD? I, I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TIME AND I'M HERE TO FIX EVERYTHING AS ACCORDING TO WHAT THE CODE IS.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? UH, MR. CHAIRMAN? YEAH, GO AHEAD, GEORGE.
JUST, JUST TO CLARIFY, THE OWNER'S INTENTION IS TO DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY ONCE A DEMOLITION PERMIT IS ISSUED? YES.
WE, UH, A FEW MONTHS WE ARE LOOKING FOR A LOAN BETWEEN, BETWEEN MY HUSBAND AND I, BUT WE CAN DO THIS.
UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, UH, HAS THE CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER EXPLAINED TO THE OWNER, UH, WHAT THE PROCESS WOULD BE IF THIS BOARD ORDERED DEMOLITION? I'M ASKING.
UH, SHE'S NOT UNDERSTANDING, SO I'M ASKING IF SOMEBODY HAS COMMUNICATED WITH HER IF SHE HAS A COORDINATOR OR CASE, I'M SORRY.
UM, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SHE'S NOT UNDERSTANDING THE QUESTION.
I'M ASKING HER IF SHE HAS A CASE COORDINATOR OR IF SHE SOMEBODY'S BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH HER.
SHE'S ASKING FOR SUPPORT IN TERMS OF PROVIDING ENOUGH INFORMATION AND THAT INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE CODE OFFICER REGARDLESS OF WHAT OUR ORDER WOULD BE.
THEY WILL FILL HER IN ON THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, BUT THE FACT THAT SHE HAS REQUESTED A, UH, PERMIT TO DEMOLISH IS THE CORRECT STEP IN NUMBER ONE.
UH, THE NUMBER TWO IS OBVIOUSLY THIS BOARD'S DECISION, WHATEVER THAT DECISION MAY BE.
UH, AND THEN FROM THAT, THE CODE OFFICER WOULD EXPLAIN THE SPECIFIC STEPS THAT WOULD GO
[00:35:01]
WITH THAT.UH, AND THE CODE OFFICER WANTS TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT.
YOU ARE WELCOME TO NOTHING NEEDED.
GEORGIA, YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT? YEAH.
UM, HOW LONG SHE APPLIED FOR THE PERMIT FOR A DEMOLITION, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR APPROVAL TO THAT PROCESS? UH, STAFF CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION ON HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO PROVIDE THE PERMIT FOR THAT
THERE ARE SEVERAL STEPS INVOLVED IN THE APPLICATION PROCESS, UM, NOT JUST WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT, BUT WITH, UH, OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION CAN TAKE UP TO 30 DAYS FOR THE, UH, APPROVAL TO COME THROUGH.
OR IF THERE'S ANY MORE INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED, SOMETIMES THAT MAY DELAY IT AS WELL, UM, IF THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING IN THE APPLICATION.
AND JUST SO I CAN UNDERSTAND, THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.
SHE'S JUST WAITING FOR APPROVAL.
I'LL DEFER THAT TO I HAVEN'T SEEN THE APPLICATION.
YES, STEPHANIE, I THINK HAS THAT INFORMATION.
YES, THIS IS DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER STEPHANIE SANCHEZ.
UM, THE APPLICATION IS ON FILE AS OF AUGUST.
UM, I DID REVIEW IT THIS MORNING, UM, TO SEE WHAT SHE WAS MISSING TO RELAY SOME OF THAT INFORMATION THAT SHE IS MISSING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED FOR IT TO BE, UM, APPROVED.
AND THEN THE NEXT QUESTION TO COUNSEL WOULD BE, UH, WILL THE ORDER STATE AFTER APPROVAL OF PERMIT OR WILL IT STATE WITH TIME PERIOD THAT THE BOARD COMES UP WITH THAT? DEPENDS ON WHAT THE BOARD'S, UM, ORDER IS.
UM, BUT THE BOARD CAN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT A A, A PERMIT HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR AND, AND, AND, UM, MAKE A MOTION BASED ON THAT MAYBE, UM, FACTOR IN THAT TIMEFRAME JUST TO MAKE SURE.
ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? NOT THE OWNER? NOT FOR THE OWNER, BUT I DO WANNA ASK THE COURT OFFICER QUESTIONS.
UH, NO, LET'S, LET'S GO AHEAD AND DEAL WITH THE QUESTION FOR THE CALLED OFFICER FIRST IF WE CAN.
UH, I I'M JUST WONDERING, UM, THE DEMOLITION, UH, THE, THE PERMIT FOR, UH, DEMOLITION WAS ON AUGUST 11TH.
UM, AND THAT WAS BEFORE, UH, NOTICES WERE MAILED FOR BSB.
WHY, WHY ARE, WHY WAS IT BROUGHT HERE IF THE PERMIT WAS ALREADY PULLED? THIS IS DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER STEPHANIE SANCHEZ.
UM, THE NOTICES WERE, UM, SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE PERMIT BEING PULLED.
UM, I BELIEVE THE NOTICE, SORRY, THE NOTICE WAS POSTED TO THE PROPERTY IN JANUARY.
UH, THE NOTICE WAS MAILED OUT ALSO IN JUNE, AND THE NOTICES OF HEARING WERE POST, OH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE NOTICE OF HEARING FOR THE BOARD.
UM, SO THE NOTES HERE, THE NOTES HERE SAY, UM, THE PERMIT APPLICATION AUGUST 11TH, 2025, AUGUST 25TH, 2025, BSB, UH, PHOTOS WERE NOTED, UH, WERE TAKEN.
AND THE, THE POST, UH, NOTICE WAS POSTED.
SO THAT IS AFTER THE APPLICATION BOARD MEMBER, IF I MAY STEP IN.
WE DID AN INTERNAL REVIEW, I BELIEVE ON AUGUST THE SIXTH.
SO THAT WAS BEFORE THE PERMIT WAS APPLIED FOR, AND THAT FROM THAT, THAT KIND OF, THAT GETS THE BALL ROLLING TOWARDS COMING TO, UM, BSB, EVEN THOUGH THE PERMIT WAS APPLIED FOR, IT STILL WASN'T APPROVED.
SO EVEN THROUGH THAT PROCESS, WE, WE DIDN'T FEEL THE NEED TO PULL IT AT THIS TIME.
UM, THE BOARD HAS THAT, HAS THAT RIGHT TO DO SO, BUT WE CAME FORWARD BECAUSE IT'S STILL IN PROCESSING AND WE DIDN'T SEE A REASON TO DELAY THE, THE, THE SET DATE FOR THIS CASE TO BE HEARD.
UM, JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT THE AUGUST 6TH DATE IS NOT NOTED IN THE NOTES, SO WE'RE NOT AWARE OF THAT.
WE'LL MAKE SURE TO UPDATE THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTION, UH, OF THE CODE OFFICER? THANK YOU.
AND NOW, JOEL, IF YOU WOULD, THE QUESTION FOR THE OWNER, I WAS GONNA ASK ABOUT SECURING FINANCIAL MEANS TO ACTUALLY HAVE THE, THE DEMOLITION, UH, PERFORMED.
DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHEN THAT'LL HAPPEN? MS.
[00:40:22]
OKAY.UM, THE HUSBAND IS WEARING ON ALONE.
SHE'S, THEY'RE ASKING FOR THREE MORE MONTHS.
THEY THINK IN THREE MORE MONTHS THEY CAN HAVE IT DONE, BUT HUSBAND IS ASKING TO ASK FOR THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME POSSIBLE THAT CAN GIVE TO THEM, NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO IT, JUST IN CASE THAT IS NOT DONE IN THREE MONTHS.
UH, THEY WON'T SEEM LIKE THEY'RE NOT COMPLYING.

AS CONTENT CONTEXT, I HAVE OBSERVED A PATTERN OF PUBLIC NUISANCE TAKING PLACE AT TWO 15 WEST MEADOW LANE DRIVE IN RECENT YEARS, INCLUDING USING THE PROPERTY AS STORAGE, DUMPING, AND FABRICATION FACILITY FOR A BUSINESS, PRESUMABLY CONSTRUCTION, LOUD METAL FABRICATION ACTIVITY DURING THE DAY, UNKNOWN PEOPLE ENTERING AND LEAVING THE PROPERTY AT ODD HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT.
ON ONE OCCASION, MOTOR MOTORIST TAILGATED ME AT AN UNSAFE DISTANCE ON MY WAY HOME.
AFTER DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, THE MOTORIST PARKED AND ENTERED TWO 15 WEST MEADOW LANE.
THEREAFTER, I PRESUME HE WAS THERE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS, A GENERAL STATE OF DISREPAIR OF THE PROPERTY, NO FUNCTIONAL EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING TO THE PRO, TO THE PROTECT AGAINST CRITTERS AND WEATHER TRASH BINS LEFT IN THE STREET FOR DAYS.
I DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT TO WHICH THESE PATTERNS ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE CITY CODE.
HOWEVER, I CAN CONFIDENTLY STATE THAT THEY ARE UNBECOMING OF A CLEAN, OF A CLEAN AND SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE MOST FAMILIES WANT TO LIVE A CLEANER, SAFER STANDARD IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
I THANK THE STANDARD, THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD AND EV IN ADVANCE FOR ENFORCING IT.
ANY OTHER STATEMENTS FROM THEM? FROM ANYONE ELSE? OKAY, VERY GOOD.
CHAIRMAN, ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT TWO 15 WEST MEADOW LANE DRIVE.
THIS IS JOEL LES I, THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT TWO 15 WEST MEADOW DRIVE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 6 1 57, AND IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 6 1 56, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS 2, 5, 7, 8, 12, AND 15.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS AND BE SECURED FROM THE ISSUANCE OF THIS ORDER AND BE FREE OF TRASH AND DEBRIS.
I WOULD RECOMMEND A FOR ANY MO OUR AMENDMENT TO THAT, THEN THAT WOULD BE A DATE FROM APPROVAL OF PERMIT AS OPPOSED TO ORDER.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE APPROVAL OF THE PERMIT THAT THEY'VE SUBMITTED, UH, WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IT WOULD TAKE WITH PERMIT TO BE APPROVED? YEAH.
UH, THE POSSIBILITY IS AS MUCH AS 30 DAYS, THE ORDER WILL GO OUT WELL BEFORE THE PERMIT WILL BE APPROVED.
UH, SO IT WOULD GIVE HER A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, UH, BY SAY DATE OF PERMIT.
MR. CHAIR, THIS IS, THIS IS LEGAL COUNSEL.
UM, WELL, NOT TO INFLUENCE, TRY TO INFLUENCE ANY ORDER THAT THIS BOARD PLANS ON GIVING.
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A DEMOLITION ORDER.
UH, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT SAFER AND A LITTLE BIT MORE DATE CERTAIN IF YOU GIVE THEM, SAY, 90 DAYS.
UM, I, I, I COULD TELL YOU DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ISN'T GONNA GO ON IN, ON THE 91ST DAY AND, AND ACT ON THAT PROPERTY.
[00:45:02]
DOING IT FROM DATE CERTAIN OF, UM, A PERMIT BEING APPROVED COULD BE A PROBLEM IN THE SENSE THAT WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT DATE, UH, THE APPEAL PERIOD STARTS AND, UM, AND OR THE DEADLINE TO FILE AN APPEAL IF BY SOME CHANCE PROPERTY OWNER OR ANY OTHER VESTED OWNER, UH, OR INTERESTED PARTY WANTS TO APPEAL.UM, SO WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION TO PROVIDE THE OWNER AMPLE TIME TO SECURE FINANCING FOR THE DEMOLITION, UM, I WOULD, I WOULD URGE THIS BOARD TO, TO DO IT ON, ON, ON DAYS INSTEAD OF, UM, A, A SPECIFIC EVENT FROM BEING FROM, TO START THE CLOCK, I'LL AMEND MY FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO SUGGEST OR RECOMMEND A 90 DAY RATHER THAN 30 DAY.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE 90 DAY IS THAT THERE'S NO FINANCING THAT'S BEEN SECURED, JEFF, UH, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WITHIN THAT 90 DAYS, THERE'S THE POTENTIAL HIGHER POTENTIAL THAN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT IN 30 DAYS.
IS THE ONLY REASON WHY I SAY THAT.
UH, OBVIOUSLY THE INTENT IS THERE BECAUSE THE PERMIT WAS APPLIED FOR, UH, AND AS A RESULT OF THE PERMIT BEING APPLIED FOR, IT'S A MATTER OF HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE.
UH, THERE IS ALSO REQUIREMENT TO SECURE A CONTRACTOR, ET CETERA, IS THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M RECOMMENDING 90 DAYS RATHER THAN THE NORMAL 30 DAYS THAT I WOULD AGREE WITH NORMALLY.
THANK YOU, MR. AND, AND BOARD, JUST IF I CAN, UM, EXPAND A LITTLE BIT.
UH, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN INTENT, UM, BY THE OWNER TO, TO TAKE AN ACTION THAT'S AGREEABLE TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, I, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS GOING.
UM, I, I BELIEVE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WOULD WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER TO, TO ENSURE, UH, THAT THE THE ORDER IS CARRIED OUT.
AND, UH, BLUNTLY, I DON'T KNOW IF THE, THE CITY WOULD RATHER THE PROPERTY OWNERS HANDLE THAT BUSINESS INSTEAD OF THE CITY FLIPPING THE BILL.
SO I, I, I BELIEVE, AND I'LL SAY THAT IN FRONT OF, UM, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR, I DO BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER TO ENSURE THAT NOT ONLY IS THIS BOARD'S, UH, ORDER CARRIED OUT, BUT UM, IF THE PROPERTY OWNER WANTS TO DO IT, I BELIEVE THE BOARD, I MEAN, I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WILL WORK WITH TO ALLOW THEM TO DO IT.
AND THAT WOULD CONCUR WITH THAT COMMENT.
SO NOW THEN I AMEND MY MOTION THEN TO PERMIT 90 DAYS, UH, DEMO AND CONTINUE TO SECURE THE PROPERTY.
THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT, EXCUSE ME FOR JUST A MOMENT, TWO 15 WEST METAL LANE DRIVE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED, UH, AT THIS TIME.
AND IT IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX.
ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56 AT THE PROPERTY, UH, SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED IN 90 DAYS.
UH, AND THE SUB CODES FOR CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT IS 2 5, 7, 8, 12, AND 15.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY AYE.
THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, UH, BASED ON THE, UH, PERSON, THE EX EXECUTOR OF THE WILL SAYING THAT, UH, THESE PEOPLE DON'T LIVE THERE NO MORE.

UM, THEY TRIED TO, THE PERSON THAT WENT TO PRISON AND CAME BACK AND MOVED INTO THAT PLACE AGAIN, THEY TRIED TO GET HIM TO MOVE OUT AND THEY WERE TOLD THAT HE COULDN'T BE MOVED OUT BECAUSE HE, UH, THAT WAS HIS RESIDENCE.
SHE SAYS THE POLICE TOLD HIM THAT THEY COULD NOT REMOVE THESE PEOPLE FROM THE PROPERTY.
HE ALLOWED THEM TO STAY IN, UH, THE, HOW THE PLACE FOR A FEW MONTHS AFTER THEIR MOTHER,
[01:10:01]
HIS MOTHER DIED, SO THEY COULD SAVE UP MONEY TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT PLACE.SO THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT THERE MORE.

UM, OUR STAFF WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE ON AUGUST THE EIGHTH OF 2025.
SO THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE ACTUALLY WENT TO THE LOCATION AND OBSERVED AND STARTED OUR INVESTIGATION.
SO PURSUANT TO CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 75, NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED BY THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
SO I JUST WANTED TO, UM, REITERATE THE DATE OF WHEN WE FIRST MADE THE INSPECTION AND BECAME AWARE OF IT.
THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT CHANGE? THERE ARE NONE.
I DO HAVE ONE MORE ITEM AND I WILL HAND IT OVER TO OUR, UH, MY, MY BOSS AND I'LL LET HIM LET HIM GO WITH IT.
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
SO I JUST WANNA MENTION TO THE BOARD THAT WE HAD SOME CHANGES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
SO OUR DIRECTOR MICHAEL SHANNON, LEFT DSD, HE'S STILL WITH THE CITY, SO HE MOVED TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT.
HE NOW OVERSEES CAPITAL DELIVERY DEPARTMENT AS THE DIRECTOR THERE.
AND SO WE DID SOME SHIFTING AROUND HERE.
SO NOW I BECAME THE DIRECTOR AND MELISSA RAMIREZ IS THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR, SO SHE WILL BE OVERSEEING CODE AND INSPECTIONS.
WE KIND OF WENT THROUGH THIS LAST YEAR WHEN MIKE SHANNON WAS ASSIGNED TO ANIMAL CARE SERVICES, SO WE KIND OF DID THE SAME CHANGE THAT WAS TEMPORARY.
I CALL IT TEST RUN, TEST DRIVE.
WE, WE TRIED IT AND, AND IT WORKED, BUT NOW IT'S MORE PERMANENT BECAUSE MIKE SHANNON, UH, MOVED PERMANENTLY TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT.
SO AGAIN, JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU.

JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT THE BSB FULL BOARD MEETING THAT WAS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 13TH HAS BEEN MOVED UP TO OCTOBER 16TH.
THIS WILL ALLOW THE DSD MANAGEMENT TEAM TO PRESENT UPDATED INFORMATION REGARDING THE CODE STRATEGIC PLAN.
AND DO WE HAVE CONCURRENCE SO FAR BY ALMOST ALL THE BOARD OR ALL THE BOARD ON THE AS IS THE BOARD ALL AVAILABLE, I GUESS IS THE QUESTION? YES, I WILL REACH OUT TO THEM.
I DID REACH OUT TO EVERYBODY YESTERDAY, BUT I REACH OUT AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO ATTEND.
WE ARE AN AGREEABLE DEPARTMENT.
THERE IS, THERE'S ONE, ONE MORE THING LEGAL WANTED TO SAY.
UH, AT THAT UPCOMING BOARD MEETING, WE DO HAVE NHSD MEMBER FOR THE DART UNIT, SHE'LL BE AVAILABLE, BUT I DO WANNA MAKE SURE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THAT THE INFORMATION THAT SHE CAN PROVIDE IS ONLY GOING TO BE FOR DART INSPECTION.
SO, UM, IF IF THE BOARD IS WANTING OR WANT WANTING TO GATHER MORE INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO WHAT NHSD DOES IN GENERAL AND OR GENERALLY FOR, UM, UH, PROPERTIES RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, WE CAN PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.
I DO JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU GUYS KNOW THAT MS. RODRIGUEZ, UH, WHEN SHE SHOWS UP, SHE WILL BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IN RELATION TO, UH, DART PROPERTIES ONLY.
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS CLEAR ON THAT.
SO JUST IN CASE YOU'RE WANTING MORE INFORMATION OTHER THAN THAT, OR IN ADDITION MORE INFORMATION, WE DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE BRING SOMEBODY ELSE FROM NHSD TO, UH, ADDRESS THOSE TYPE OF QUESTIONS THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE REALM OF, UH, UH, THE DART UNIT.
UH, IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIFICALLY THAT THE MEMBERS THAT ARE PRESENT TODAY THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ADDED TO THE 16 OCTOBER MEETING? NO, THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD, UM, WERE BOTH, UM, SO I DID, I WAS ASKING FOR THE DART NUMBERS, LIKE HOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY RECEIVING VERSUS BEING REFERRED BOTH ON DART, BUT ALSO IN GENERAL PEOPLE RECEIVING VERBAL OR WRITTEN REFERRALS VERSUS ACTUALLY RECEIVING SERVICES.
[01:50:01]
DO IS I WILL, I WILL GET WITH, WITH JUDY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE THAT CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.I DON'T WANNA, UH, PUT MS. RODRIGUEZ IN A POSITION TO COME AND ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT SHE'S, UH, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SHE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER IN REGARDS TO THE DART UNIT.
I'M SURE SHE CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.
AND JUDY, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, UH, GO AHEAD AND PUT A NOTE OUT OR AN EMAIL OUT TO, TO THE OTHER PANEL TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU'D LIKE TO PUT ON THE AGENDA.
JUDY, CAN YOU ALSO SEND A CALENDAR INVITE? YES, WE USUALLY SEND THE CALENDAR INVITE THE WEEK BEFORE.
ONCE THE AGENDA HAS BEEN POSTED, THAT'S WHEN WE'LL SEND OUT THE CALENDAR INVITE.
BUT WE CAN SEND ONE, UM, NOW AS WELL.
AND WE, WE, WE WILL SEND ONE NOW AS A HOLD.
BUT THE OFFICIAL ONE WILL COME A WEEK PRIOR.
AND GEORGE, YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YEAH.
SO THE, UH, NOVEMBER 13TH DATE WILL NOW BE A PANEL B MEETING.
SO WE CONFIRMED THAT WE'LL HAVE PANEL B ON NOVEMBER 13TH.
SO WE'LL ACTUALLY HAVE TWO PANEL B MEETINGS IN NOVEMBER.
WHAT I THOUGHT WE HAD ONE, WE WILL HAVE ONE PANEL A MEETING ON NOVEMBER 6TH FOR PANEL A AND THEN PANEL B ON NOVEMBER 13TH.
I'M SORRY, I'M, I'VE GOT MY DATES WRONG THEN.
THANKS FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION, GEORGE.
ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP? WITHOUT OBJECTION AND BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT WE ARE ADJOURNED.
