Motion to stop reading emails into record

26:35Chairman, Mariano? Thank you, Chairman Mariano. We a few meetings ago we said we wanted to try to obviously get back to normal, start inviting people back in the boardroom again. I think we're at the point now where we need to stop reading emails into the record and keep it to either WebEx or live. We wanted to guess if is everybody's in agreement I'll make the motion because I'll have to make a motion to remove that And it will also need to remove it from the notice for next meeting. But if I think I have consensus, I'll make

27:06that motion now.

27:07Okay.

27:08Just to be clear, Mr. Chair, that does require an amendment to our resolution. So we'd have to bring back the first at the next meeting. We can't do it today, but at the next meeting we can do that.

27:16Right.

27:16Okay.

27:17So if I'm not correct, what would happen, Mr. Mr. Goldstein, is um if that motion passes today or move it from the notice for the next meeting, there's a possibility emails in the morning still be will be read into the record next meeting, but the afternoon or at public hearing is they would not be able to be read as

27:32That's correct. You still have to allow public comment on the consent agenda in the morning if somebody really wanted to do that. But you can direct that the notice for the next meeting not include that option.

27:42Okay.

27:43Okay.

27:44Mr. Chairman M and I think if we're gonna make an adjustment, let's do a good adjustment as well. I think we need to look at the structure as far as what the spacing is of the seating now. Um the way the way COVID is now minimized. I think it's those that feel comfortable let them come in. But I think we need to make sure we have enough room in here too. So as we can take a look at that when we bring it forward, let's kind of look at being a little bit more uh uh flexible. With the space. And and I because one of the reasons why like the for instance, the gentleman from Westport that spoken public

28:14comment, yeah, when I went over the pictures, we had a whole bunch of people that would have come in, they would have emailed, or whatever. I said, No, don't do that. I need one spokesman. Yeah, talk about the whole thing going through. And if you want to come to the meeting, bring everybody with you and you can lead the spokesman rather than tying us up for a lot of time. Uh I will say I didn't know. We're gonna get all those Gulf Harbor's Woodlands emails coming in. Um staff is looking at that, we're uh we're identifying that. But I think you're right, we need to go back to more normalcy.

28:43I think WebEx is still good given people, especially people like aren't able to come in, disabilities things like that. All right, so that's my motion if I can get a second. Second. I get a second.

28:51Um Did you add something?

28:56we'll motion a second.

28:57I can see it.

28:58Go ahead.

29:00I was saying I think it's nice to be able to offer the email as some people may be afraid to speak in front of a crowd, but they can still consider the internet share.

29:15Well I want to be clear, I think Commissioner's motion the Commissioner's motion doesn't preclude people from sending in emails. They can still send in emails, they just won't be read into the record. They've always been reading.

29:25That's back to normal.

29:27And the other thing I want to clarify is that the capacity of the room is not set by the resolution. That's actually set by facilities. So they could change that at any point that they want

29:35to. I think we're only allowed eighteen people, Mr. Biles.

29:39Yes, sir. We'll we'll we're going to reevaluate it every every time.

29:44All right. All right, I have a motion and a second. Uh all those in favor by roll call vote.

29:50District two, Commissioner Moore. Aye. District three, Commissioner Starkey. Aye. District four, Commissioner Fitzpatrick.

29:58District 5, Commissioner Mariano.

30:00Aye.

30:00District 1, Chairman Oakley.

30:02Aye. Motion pass unanimously.
