public comment and WebEx technical difficulties

6:38Here. Now is the time for public comment. Citizens are given an opportunity to comment on any current or future agenda item coming before the board. and on any other business under the board's purview. Today public comment will be handled as follows. First we will take public comment for those who are here in person. Then we will take public comment for those who have pre-registered for a WebEx link and currently on the queue. We request that when you address the board, comments are not directed personally at against the Commission or team member,

7:08but rather directed at the issues. This provides mutual respect between the board members and the public. After stating your name and address for the clerk, a three-minute timer will be activated. After two minutes, a single beep will activate, you have one minute left. When your time is up, two beeps will sound and you should close your comments. WebEx participants will be disconnected automatically when their time is up. Madam Clerk, do we have anyone signed up for public comment?

7:36Yes, Mr. Chairman we do. Ivan Perez.

7:40Yes, please stand to the podium. State your name and address for the record and then you may begin.

We do uh cabinets, uh we don't get permit for that, and we do tires inside of the shower, we don't get the permit with that about that. Okay, but after that we hired my engineer, my contractor. architects to try to remedy that. And we search. On the building Oh I'm sorry, on construction laws. that

11:41So I can't hear you guys. Can

11:45Okay. Can you hear me now? Can you hear me?

11:50Can you hear me?

11:52Yeah.

11:55We can hear you, Ms. April.

12:00We can hear you.

12:03I wonder if she's got a volume on her computer down too low?

12:13Ms April, we can hear you and we can see you.

12:22Can you hear us?

12:26I don't know if I can be over, but I can't hear anything.

12:31We can hear you. D would you wanna Mr. Chair, do you wanna move on to the next person and see?

12:36Yeah, I'm looking at the top of the screen so there's a there's a microphone with a flash be

12:39beside it. Maybe that's

12:40why she can't hear us?

12:43I don't know if it'll be a a speaker symbol. But it would probably be on her end, maybe she didn't turn the volume up on her computer. But she can she hear us? We can hear her.

12:59Uh let's go let's go to the next one, we'll come back to her. We'll try.

13:02Uh Mr. Peppers, can you um elevate Ellie Ard Ardellani?

13:17All right, Ms. Ardellani, if you would please um take yourself off of mute and state your name and address for the record and then you may proceed.

13:34Ms. Arda um Ardellani, we cannot hear you. It looks like you're still on mute.

13:42Mm-hmm.

13:48Okay. We see the mute was gone. If you could state your name and address for the record and then you may proceed.

14:01I'm sorry, we still cannot hear you.

14:12Ms. Ardellani, we cannot hear you. And that's not us, because both of them are having the same issues.

14:18No, they're having different issues. Oh different issues? Well uh, couldn't hear the second one.

14:27So what happens in a situation like this? Is someone like calling her or getting a hold of her and whatever means they gave her to f remedy So she can get back on or are they just out? I don't know. It's a question for your staff. I mean this do you guys connect are you guys emailing her or texting her or

14:45I just texted um the first one, Patty, so I just told her to go ahead and speak when we come back to you. So let's try going back to her and then maybe I'll do the same thing with Ellie.

14:54Mr. Peppers, could you please elevate Miss April? We're going to allow her to speak even though she's not able to hear us.

15:01But I'm curious what happens when this happens. If we

15:04This is the first time it's happened.

15:16We did we're resetting.

15:19We're emailing the participants right now to let them know that we're having some technical difficulties. I you know, as far as the order of operations for the meeting, if we want to come back to this and and allow them to speak or No, I don't know. That's general order of operations question.

15:36Uh so we just tried padding with Gang couldn't get her again. Well

15:39that's just

15:40black. Someone may need to speak on consent, so I just I I don't know, so I don't necessarily want to

15:45Well Both of the both of the speakers that were signed up did not it appeared did not sign up for anything that was on the agenda. They signed up referencing meadow folks which unless you know differently I don't see on the agenda.

16:00No, I n nor do I. So perhaps we could move forward while our IT team it looks like they're resetting and reconnecting with those folks. Okay. Um maybe someone could call

16:09them on the phone, talk to them and then what do you think

16:11about the thing?

16:16Okay. All right, so cons consent agenda? So we're going to close public comment now. Uh give the option for those people to speak if we can make the connection later.
