All right, I'd like to call to order the February fifth, twenty twenty six Facility Standards Annual Public Meeting. No members are participating remotely and committee members disclosed that they're members of one or more affected groups. And the respective declarations of interest are kept on file in the minutes of the facility standards manual. Public review committee. We do have one guest today. member of the uh work group for the floodplain. So as we get into that. Sorry, Mr. Dean. That's okay, Mike Marsala. Mike, thanks for coming over. Thank you. Hopefully everyone got a copy of the minutes from our January fifteenth meeting. Take a minute to look them over.

Yeah. from Elizabeth. Okay. So I do have some edits to go over with you all. More detailed there are more edits there are. It's funny 'cause she you picked up on things that I was thinking. Very good edits. Um, so basically you'll see the edits in blue here. Um, I talked about Chief Kiger, but I didn't use his first name ever. Um we're just so used to around here calling Chief Kiger. So I put his first name in the first reference, um, so you wouldn't know who that was. And then um Elizabeth pointed out it sort of gets confusing through this introduction about who's doing what. Instead of saying Kevin, I said the chair, so that now here I could say the chair also stated. Um to clarify who's doing what who's taking what action.

Um And then Maybe when I scroll here, um, this wasn't very clear. So basically we amended this to say that we had Um Staff only plans to reconvene the work group again if needed. And then I just said scheduled discussion instead of our totally scheduled for discussion. And then this was a day that sort of had no reference. So this was switched to which. And then um I think Bill only had his first name, didn't have his last name. So he put his last name in here. Um I needed an input of advisory opinion attendure discussion. And gated communities. So this is I need input here because Um I'm not sure if it's names. Yes. Or same apostrophe X. No, just apostrophe. Like when you have a last name that ends an S and you're trying to be possessive, it's just an apostrophe.

Unknown 3:10

I it's funny because I asked County administration that question today. It's a well, strunken white would say S apostrophe S is someone whose last name ends with an S. I've someone who's written that a lot. I've only ever done the apostrophe after the eyes. I feel like that's like one of those modern things, like we don't put commas before butt now and it's killing me. I don't know if anybody knows that's a thing now, so this it reminds me of the same in the same genre of I'm not gonna argue with her on grammar though, so Okay.

Did you want to present the hat? How do you want to? Pick that off. Okay. Well we were thinking about not presenting that summary overview and starting with the draft text. I think I actually said that. I was just gonna explain what I was just gonna explain what it was, not too much that would be reading it. Yeah, we just didn't want to go through and summarize it. It's sort of like supporting information if we get stuck. Yeah, it's more like we started out with the summary, or it was really more of an outline to kind of all get on a general consensus of understanding um amongst all the working group volunteers.
