Unknown 1:26

Selden. Present. Commissioner Stoudell. Uh absent are комічно Voz and Commissioner Manavanen. Uh Commissioner Voz did uh email this afternoon and said that she was um not feeling well. Um Commissioner Manavanan um emailed last week and said he wasn't able to attend. Um so if the commission is inclined to um I think prove their um Excuse exc excuse their absence. Um I would need a motion if not. Hends up to the discretion of the Commission. Isn't it that they have to inform you well in advance? Oh they're not coming. Um, we asked that they do so that we know then if we have a a quorum or not, if we're able to have a meeting. Um But that's just a courtesy whether or not we're able to have the meeting. So it's up to the commission if they want to excuse the commissioners.

Unknown 2:36

You don't have to, but if you want it's totally up to the commission. I'd like to make a motion to accept the excuse of the two commissioners that are not present today.

Unknown 2:53

I just make a note, I've never seen Madavan. That has been to any of our meetings? No, he has not. Is he is not the commissioner that is on Um City Council? Isn't there somebody? No, uh uh. No, no. So he has not shown up for more than three meetings. Isn't there something about not showing up for three meetings? and not um informing you well in advance that you're not going to be. able to come like I did when I was travelling and I informed you. That I will not be able to attend the meeting. So why don't we inform him? of the consequences if it doesn't inform us well in advance. And give him some kind of uh warning that uh you know we expect that be present. Because we have now a full quorum. Except him. So we'll let him know.

Unknown 3:54

that uh we miss him and uh what is his plan? of attendance because it's more than three times. And we would like to discuss some important things, then. And uh we'll appreciate that if he Oh god.

Jen Byers 4:10

If if I may just add, I am you'll get a preview of a little bit of this during my Brown Act presentation today. In order to avoid running a fellow the Brown Act, can't take action on items that aren't on the agenda. So anything like that would need to be agendized for a future meeting.

Unknown 4:26

Okay, we can put it on it next time. So right now the motion on the table is um Commissioner Soto has a motion to excuse. Um so if if there is a second, then we would take a vote. Um if there is not a second, then the motion would just die. Correct? Yes. So I'm gonna take by the silence there is no motion for a second. Okay.

Unknown 5:02

All right, now moving on to our consent calendar. We have two items actually on our consent calendar tonight. Typically we would just have our minutes, but we do have an additional item. So our first item on the consent calendar is the approval of the senior advisory commission minutes from August 18th.

Unknown 5:31

You have a choice too because they're on the consent calendar to take them one at a time or to take them as a pair. So you could take the minutes um and the second item on the calendar on the on the calendar is for the meet schedule of meetings for 2026. So you could take those two items as one motion to approve, um, or you could take them as individual.
