Unknown 4:03

Yeah, I want to split hairs over something. Not unlike myself. Um so for my comments in the minutes, it says um I don't have it in front of me, but something about the the posting ILO meets uh will also inspire um uh youth in Santa Clara to try swimming. Mm-hmm. And uh I feel the the try swimming waters down what my message was. Uh my point was that it's not about trying to swim, but learning to swim, which is a life-saving skill. And so there's a you know, there's a certain distinction, you know, it's not the same as trying lacrosse or horse riding or Ethiopian food. or something flat, right? So so I just want to clarify it's not just to inspire the youths to try swimming, but to actually learn to swim so they can so easily a skill that they have by small.

Unknown 5:08

Is it sufficient to just remove try and add learn? Yes. Or do you want to have the clause or Learn to swim because it's a lim important life saving society. So I think that's just yeah, the learned display. So do we have that? That's gonna have that. And um can we just do you want to remake the motion with the adjustments noted? Yeah, I want to make a motion to approve vote. um and then consent calendar with the one amendment for on the minutes for commissioner fouker's comment change it from inspire you to try swimming to try to inspire you to learn to swim. Poor life saving. Poor life saving. Second. Okay. Thank you. Um so this is these vote for both items, Commissioner Caldwell. Yes. Chair Chu, yes. Commissioner Demarco?
