AND BASICALLY WE HAVE, UH, TWO BUSINESS ACTIONS AT THIS MEETING, THE ELECTION OF THE OFFICERS AND THE APPROVAL OF THE 2022 BOARD MEETING CALENDAR IN THE PAST. WE'VE KEPT THIS MEETING, UH, VERY LIMITED LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE STAFF OF THE DISTRICT, IF WE WERE TO HAVE THEM DO PRESENTATIONS, ET CETERA, THEY WOULD HAVE TO THE HOLIDAY BREAK. AND MANY OF THEM OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT EVEN IN TOWN. SO, UM, DO YOU EITHER DAVID OR MEL HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR DID WE HAVE ANYTHING? UM, FROM THE LAST READING THAT WE MOVED TO, I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING THAT WE CERTAINLY POSTPONED. IT WAS THE CALENDAR. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE. DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE? WE MOVED TO THIS MEETING BESIDES THE CALENDAR APPROVAL? WELL, I THINK HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE CALENDAR EARLIER, INGRID, ANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE MOVED TO THIS? THAT'S ALL I CAN REMEMBER. YEAH, ME TOO. OKAY. NO, I REMEMBER, BUT I WOULD SAY THERE'S BEEN SOME TALK ABOUT POSSIBLY THE BOOK ISSUE AND IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, WE SHOULD DO IT ON THE FOURTH. RIGHT? DR. RODRIGUEZ SHOWING THE MEETING, DAVID, THE EMAIL YOU SENT OUT REGARDING OF THE BOOK FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION THAT THE BOARD SHOULD DISCUSS IT AND VOTE ON IT. IF WE WANT TO DO THAT, WE SHOULD DO IT ON JANUARY 4TH. I WOULD THINK. WELL, ACTUALLY, YEAH. YEAH, THEY REALLY WASN'T THAT AGGRESSIVE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW, WHAT IS THE ISSUE, RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. IT'S JUST BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG. MY THING IS IF WE CAN, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, LET'S DO IT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. WELL, I THINK WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL WE'LL IS IN CHARGE OF THAT. SO THAT WAS JUST MY ONLY SUGGESTION. YEAH. I RESPONDED TO THAT. YEAH. I WOULD SAY THE BALL'S IN HIS COURT AND I WON'T GET INTO DETAILS, BUT THE BALL'S IN HIS COURT. ALL RIGHT. AND THIS, THIS MEETING IS, UM, HERE AT THE MEDIA CENTER AND IS ALSO GOING TO BE, UH, UM, STRANGE, STRANGE, AND PEOPLE CAN ALSO REMOTELY. UM, OKAY. UM, WHAT I DID IS I CHANGED THE TIME FOR THE SECOND PUBLIC COMMENTS SINCE THERE WAS ONLY TWO AGENDA [00:05:01] ITEMS. UM, CAN YOU HEAR US? HELLO? YEAH. HI. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. OKAY. I'M JUST GOING TO PLUG ON MUTE HERE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ALL THE BACKGROUND NOISE TO GET IN THE WAY. UM, SINCE THERE WERE TWO AGENDA ITEMS, NORMALLY WE WOULD SAY THEY WOULD COME THE SECOND PUBLIC COMMENTS WE'LL CALL IN FROM SEVEN TO SEVEN 30. IF WE ONLY HAVE THE SOARING IN THAT WE ONLY HAD THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND APPROVAL OF THE BOARD MEETING CALENDAR. WE ARE AT SEVEN OR SEVEN 30. SO I WOULD SEE AGENDA IS SO LIMITED. I WOULD PERSONALLY, I JUST THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A FIRST PUBLIC COMMENTS BECAUSE WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE DONE IN, I DON'T KNOW, 30 MINUTES. MINUTES. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY GET THERE THE REQUEST. SO I SUGGESTED THEY SIT, SUBMIT THEIR SECOND REQUEST BETWEEN SIX AND SIX 30 AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF MAY IS WHAT I WILL HAVE THE TIME TO. SO IF ANYBODY CAME THROUGH. YEAH, YEAH, EXACTLY. SO I JUST CHANGED THE TIME TO SIX TO SIX 30. YEAH, EXACTLY. YEP. SO, UM, ARE WE, ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT NOW? OKAY, PERFECT. I DIDN'T SEE THAT YOU CHANGED THE TIME TO, UM, THE OTHER THING THAT I PUT ON THERE, UM, I DID PUT IT AT THE BEGINNING AT THE END OF THE ADJOURNMENT, BUT I DO HAVE IT IN RED, OUR STANDARD IN THE EVENT, THE BOARD DIDN'T FINISHED ADDRESSING THE ITEMS JANUARY 4TH TO JANUARY 5TH, BUT NOT ONLY KEPT IT A RED IN THAT ONE LITTLE SPACE, BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE US GOING BEYOND THE DAILY TWO ITEMS. YOU CAN TAKE IT OFF GUEST DOESN'T MATTER. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THAT ANYBODY WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE ADJOURNED AND GO TO THE NEXT DAY, BUT THAT'S ALL I CAN PUT IT BACK ON THEIR STANDARD BUS ON THERE RIGHT NOW. IT'S UP THERE IN THE RED, BUT I DIDN'T PUT IT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GERMAN BECAUSE WHEN I WAS JUST TRYING TO KEEP IT ON ONE PAGE ONE, WHEN YOU GOT IT ON THERE, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I MADE CHANGES TO, TO THE AGENDA. AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT IS NORMALLY, UM, THAT WE PUT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JANUARY IS JUST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE FOR THE SCHEDULED BOARD MEETINGS, UM, BECAUSE IT'S LISTED. SO WE USUALLY KIND OF TELL THEM, CAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE BOARD MEETINGS LISTED FOR THE YEAR. SO I INDICATED THAT THEY CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE AND THAT'S WHERE THEY WOULD SEE OUR SCHEDULE BEFORE, BECAUSE IT'S UNDER . YEAH. SO CAN WE ALSO HAVE THE WAKE TO THE WEBSITE? THAT MIGHT BE GOOD ENOUGH. I CAN LOOK UP ANY NELL OR BABY. YES. WELL, I WAS GLAD TO REACH OUT TO, UM, UM, MR. TO SEE IF HE IS AVAILABLE, IF HE IS NOT AVAILABLE, CAN YOU ALL SUGGEST SOMEWHAT JOINED THE MEETING IF MR. GRIMSLEY IS NOT AVAILABLE, THEN DO YOU ALL LIKE EACH JUDGE? CAUSE HE'S STILL IN THE CITY JUDGE, WE'RE STILL SITTING JOE. I'M NOT SURE. I'M NOT SURE. I THINK YOU WERE WITH BRI OTHER THINGS, BUT ONE OF THE OTHER REASONS WHY WE USE JUDGE FRENSLEY BECAUSE HE IS SO NICE, THEN HE NEVER CHARGES US ANYTHING. SO, UM, [00:10:01] FOR THE FIVE MINUTE, 10 MINUTE JOB THAT WE'RE ASKING SOMEONE TO DO, I'M NOT SURE IF SOMEONE ELSE WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE UP THERE TUESDAY NIGHT, THE DAY AFTER, UM, TO DO A 10 MINUTE JOB. SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE OTHER. OKAY, WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT, HOW WE DO, SO I'LL ASK, I'LL PUT THE CALL IN. WE'LL GET, NO, IT DOESN'T FOR OUR FAULT BECAUSE WE LOOKED AT IT BEFORE TODAY'S FEEDING. SO IT JUST SAYS, UM, IF AVAILABLE, I DID SWEAR MR. NALLY GREGORY THEN, UH, DREW DID, UH, DID THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS ONE YEAR. UM, SO HE, HE CONDUCTED THAT SEEMS PRETTY AWESOME. UM, SO DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THE JANUARY 4TH MEETING? UM, AND THEN I PUT THE CALENDAR IN BOARD DOCS. SO WERE THERE OTHER CHANGES THAT I NEEDED TO MAKE TO THE CALENDAR SUGGESTED CHANGES? I TOLD YOU, UM, I CHECKED THE JANUARY 28TH IS THE DAY, RIGHT. THERE WAS ISSUES ABOUT THE SIC. SO DO I NEED TO, I THINK THE BOARD HAS TO FIRST VOTE ON WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT OR NOT. THAT'S ELIMINATED WITHOUT A VOTE UNLESS WE THAT VOTE HERE. BUT, UM, IT DOESN'T REALLY THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM HERE. MAYBE AT THE JANUARY 28TH WORK SESSION. NOW IT WOULD BE OKAY TO SHOOT HIM. AND THEN I TOLD ROBIN HOW EARL HAD, UM, THE FUTURE OR ON THIS CALENDAR, ABOUT MEETING WITH THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION. SO YOU'VE OH, STEP TO CINDY, UM, THEIR ASSISTANT AND I LEFT HER A MESSAGE. I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM HER YET, BUT ASKING HER FOR HER RECOMMENDATION OF DATES. UM, WHEN WE TRIED IT BEFORE, UM, WE TRIED, TRIED IT IN THE EVENING TIME ON A THURSDAY EVENING AND WE WERE PROVIDING THEM DINNER AT BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL. THEY HAD THE STUDENTS PREPARE THE DINNER, UNFORTUNATELY AT THAT TIME ONLY ONE REPRESENTATIVE SHOWED UP. UM, BUT I OFFERED HER THE SAME FORMAT, ASKING HER TO GIVE THE SUGGESTED DATES AND TIMES AND WHEN WOULD BE A GOOD TIME. AND THEN WE WOULD PROVIDE DINNER FOR THEM. IT WOULD BE A DINNER MEETING IF THAT WAS OKAY. AND THE LAST ONE I THINK WAS, UM, MR. SMITH'S, UH, REQUEST TO HAVE THE ENTIRE COUNCIL MEET AND THE ENTIRE BOARD MEET. AND AS I MENTIONED THE LAST TWO YEARS, UH, IT WAS THE, WE DID APPROACH THE COUNCIL THAT WAY, I BELIEVE TWO, TWO YEARS AGO. AND THEY DECLINED THAT OFFER AND WE WERE BEING ONLY IN, UM, WITH REPRESENTATION FROM EACH GROUP. SO THAT WILL BE DETERMINED ONCE WE HAVE SOMETHING WE WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS. SO, AND I THINK THOSE WERE THE ONLY REQUEST FOR THEM TO BE ON THE CALENDAR. RIGHT. SO, UM, ALL RIGHT. SO IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE DONE WITH THAT AGENDA. I JUST WANT TO SAY FOR THE NEXT MEETING IN JANUARY, YOU CAN JUST TAKE SOME LITTLE TALKS WOULD NOT BE GOING THROUGH IT, BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO HAVE, UM, OBVIOUSLY THE, THE PERSONAL RATIFICATION REPORT, BECAUSE THAT'S ONLY THE FIRST MEETING AND WE'RE NOT HAVING IT JANUARY 4TH. AND THE OTHER THING IS THE TSI I FRIDAY SCHOOLS QUARTERLY UPDATE TO YES. AND ALSO I SPOKE WITH RIVERVIEW CHARTER SCHOOL. THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE ON JANUARY 18TH TO PRESENT THERE AND REPORT TO THE BOARD IT'S DUE BY DECEMBER 31ST. AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE ON THAT DAY. OKAY. UM, ROBERT SAYS FOR ON THE 18TH THAT HE WOULD, HE HAD SOME AMENDMENTS FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION, UM, THAT THE WAIT UNTIL OUR SECOND MEETING IN JANUARY, SO, OKAY. SO DROP THAT DOWN. I THINK WE HAVE TO FILL OUT THE AGENDA RIGHT NOW FOR THAT. AND THEN THE OTHER, UM, FISCAL AUTHORITY, YOU KNOW, WE NEED AN UPDATE ON FISCAL AUTHORITY FROM OUR ATTORNEYS [00:15:03] AND PERHAPS AN UPDATE FROM MR. MATTHEWS AGAIN. MAYBE I'LL CHECK. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. GENDER DISCUSSION ON HOW THE BOARD, WELL, IT'S NOT GOING TO GO ON THIS MEETING, SO LET'S COVER THOSE NOW. OKAY. UM, SO LET'S NOW DECIDE ON THE NEXT, UM, OR SHOULD WE WAIT? SO WE LEFT OFFICERS. SO THE NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING, UM, I THINK WE SENT YOU ON THE CALENDAR. OH, WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO SAY? KIND OF, WELL, I MEAN, YOU CAN, WE CAN HAVE TENTATIVE DATE. YOU CAN HAVE A TENTATIVE DATE, RIGHT? LET'S SEE 10, 15. IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH. NORMALLY WE WOULD HOLD IT ON JANUARY 10TH, 10TH, WHICH IS MONDAY. AND WE'VE BEEN DOING, THAT'S FINE. THAT'S FINE. YEAH.
