here. Thank you. You have quorum.

Glenn (Unknown) 1:37

Excellent. Mr. Chair, if I might first note that Member Peters' appearance is noted on the agenda. And so she is authorized to fully participate remotely under the Brown Act. Ms. Peters was advised to host the agenda where she is and her space is available to the public. Ms. Peters, if I could ask you now to note for the record, is there anyone over 18 in attendance with you at your location?

Susan Peters 2:07

There is not.

Glenn (Unknown) 2:08

Yeah, very good. We were not able, Mr. Chair, as successfully to coordinate with Mr. Jensen, you know, on his participation. And so who was it who did that last time? Was it you? Yeah, so Ms. Diamond, in the same manner that Ms. Diamond participated last time passively, he is here and observing, but cannot deliberate or participate in any vote. So just wanted to make that clear for both members of the committee and the public. Thank you, Mr. Chair, back to you.

2:36

Thank you.

Pat Nicolai 2:39

Okay, so good evening, everyone. My name is Pat Nicolai and I'm the chair of the Charter Review Committee. On behalf of the committee, welcome to today's meeting. At this time, please turn off or mute all electronic devices, including cell phones that may interrupt this meeting. It's for the big crowd out there. So we're gonna jump right into the agenda. We're gonna go to the first agenda item. The first agenda item is approval of the October 1st, 2025 Charter Review Committee meeting minutes. Staff, is there a presentation on this?

Glenn (Unknown) 3:12

There is, Mr. Chair. This is an example of the red carpet treatment that this committee is getting. highly unusual to have a staff presentation minutes, but I know there's some folks who haven't been on committees before, and there are some peculiar rules about how we go about doing that. So I did wanna run through that with you. I also wanted to note that as most of you have noticed, there is coffee donuts for folks throughout the meeting. I was asked if there were stands donuts. I confirmed that, in fact, I think the bylaws require that any

Unknown 3:46

donuts provided

Glenn (Unknown) 3:47

be from Stan's. And so they are, in fact, Stan's Donuts. And we'll try to have at least something for you at each meeting, aside from the glory of the task, to keep you all coming. On the action to approve the minutes, again, for use of those of you not familiar, the minutes were distributed, you know, to you and to the public, you know, with your packet. The minutes are not verbatim, you know, minutes, they're what's known as summary or action, you know, minutes. These are a little better than, you know, the bare bones action minutes, because there's a little bit of narration in them. It is okay as part of your consideration of this item to propose corrections or modifications. with this meeting coming as quickly as it did on the heels of the other, we put this together pretty quickly.

Glenn (Unknown) 4:37

We would not be surprised if you found a mistake or there was a need for a correction. We'll, of course, review them and correct anything that we might find before they're final finaled.
