WAIT, WAIT, WHAT'S THIS? WAIT, UH, SO I'M NOT SURE IF YOU REMEMBER BUT, UH, BEFORE THE PANDEMIC WE, UM, WE WERE GOING TO SCHEDULE A PRESENTATION BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT RELATED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION POLICY.
I'M NOT SURE IF YOU RECALL THAT.
AND THEN WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT, UM, THAT THAT BRIEFING, UH, WAS, UM, HELD OFF, NOW THEY'RE READY TO COME BACK, UH, TO MAKE A, A BRIEFING AND, UH, AND TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION POLICY.
I THINK THEIR GOAL IS TO COME FORWARD ON NOVEMBER 18TH, UHHUH.
UH, SO IF YOU, IF WE CAN, WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO SCHEDULE THE WORK SESSION TO START AT EIGHT 30 INSTEAD.
SO THAT WAY WE GIVE THEM ENOUGH OPPORTUNITY.
IS THAT JUST A PRESENTATION, KAT, OR IS THAT'S NOTHING WE TAKE ACTION ON? RIGHT.
IT'S JUST A PRESENTATION AT WORK SESSION.
AGAIN, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S THE TENTATIVE TIME.
BUT WE'LL KNOW PROBABLY ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE, UH, THAT DATE.
UH, 'CAUSE WE'RE STILL CONFIRMING WITH THEM.
BUT GIVEN THAT PLANNING COMMISSION ONLY HAS TWO MEETING DATES IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, UH, WE JUST WANTED TO BE SURE THAT THAT IS ON YOUR RADAR JUST IN CASE THEY ARE READY TO PROCEED IN NOVEMBER.
BUT AGAIN, A WEEK BEFORE, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
AND AGAIN, IT'S JUST A BRIEFING.
THERE'S NO ACTION THAT'S NEEDED.
UM, AND, UH, BUT AGAIN, WE'LL CONFIRM WITH YOU THE WEEK BEFORE SO WE CAN CONFIRM THE START TIME FOR THE WORK SESSION.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THAT PRESENTATION? WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET OUTTA THAT? UM, AT THAT TIME, UH, WHEN THEY WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO COME FORWARD, THEIR PRESENTING TO ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM, FROM THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ABOUT HOW THE, UM, THE PUBLIC INPUT FROM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, UH, IS, IS UTILIZED IN YOUR, UM, PURVIEW.
SO, UH, THEY JUST WANTED TO GET THAT FEEDBACK FROM ALL THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RELATED TO THAT POLICY BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS POLICY IS A, IS A, IS AN EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE, ESPECIALLY ZONING CASES.
UH, PLAN AMENDMENTS ARE TIED TO THAT.
UH, AND UM, THEY, THEY HAVE, THERE'S REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND THEN THERE'S NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE NOT REGISTERED.
UH, SO AGAIN, THEY WERE JUST LOOKING TO SEE HOW YOU UTILIZE, UH, THE INPUT THAT IS, UH, GIVEN TO YOU GUYS FROM THESE REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOU HEARING THE UPDATE ON, ON WHEN WE'LL START A PLANNING, I MEAN THE WORKSHOP.
ANY OTHER ITEMS FROM STAFF? THAT IS ALL.
ANY OTHER ITEMS FROM MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS? YOU GUYS GOT ANYTHING YOU WANNA BRING UP? TALK ABOUT, DISCUSS IF THERE ARE NO OTHER ITEM, THERE WE GO.
SO I SENT AN EMAIL JUST TO, UM, THE OFFICERS AND STAFF.
I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF WE ARE A ALLOWED TO GET TOGETHER AND IF WE DO EXCEED A QUORUM, THEN DOES THAT HAVE TO GET POSTED? YEAH, SORRY.
WE HAVE TYPICALLY POSTED, UM, SOCIAL GATHERINGS JUST TO BE SURE.
AND BASICALLY WHAT WE DO IS THAT WE SAY, UH, UH, A UH, QUORUM MAY BE PRESENT AT SUCH AND SUCH WITH SUCH AND SUCH TIME, NO DISCUSSION OF ITEMS, BUT WE DO POST SUCH CASE.
BUT, BUT AGAIN, YOU CAN'T TALK, TALK ABOUT, UH, CASES THAT ARE GOING IN FRONT OF YOU.
JUST, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT THE COMMISSION'S PURVIEW IS.
UM, SO IF THE COMMISSION, UM, OR THE COMMISSIONERS ARE, ARE WILLING OR, OR WANTING TO, UM, I'LL SEND OUT A, I CAN SEND OUT A DOODLE AND SEE IF, IF Y'ALL ARE WANTING TO GATHER, I'LL CHOOSE AN OUTDOOR PLACE, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING UP.
UM, I THINK IT'S BEEN, UH, QUITE A WHILE SINCE ANY OF US HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER IN PERSON.
UM, AND I'D LIKE TO, I KNOW I'D LIKE TO AT LEAST GET TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT Y'ALL ASIDE FROM, UM, WHAT WE DO AT THE COMMISSION MEETING.
AND SO, UM, I'LL SEND OUT A DOODLE POLL IF THAT'S OKAY.
SO REAL QUICK, I, I WON'T INTERJECT.
I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, EMAIL COMMUNICATION OH, OKAY.
OUT AVOID I WOULD WOULD MEETING IF THAT'S A YEAH, THAT'S AN OPEN MEETINGS ACT ISSUE.
WELL, THE IDEA IS TO IDENTIFY A DATE STAFF.

BUT, UM, IF POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY A DATE, UM, BEFORE THANKSGIVING BREAK WHERE, UM, THE COMMISSIONERS, IF THEY SO CHOOSE,
[00:10:01]
