[CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:06]
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK EVERYONE TO PLEASE SILENCE ALL CELL PHONES.
OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS TO HEAR FROM SPEAKERS TO SPECIFIC AGENDA ITEMS. HOWEVER, NO ONE HAS REGISTERED TO SPEAK TODAY.
[BOARD MEMBER TRAINING ON ILEGISLATE]
WE WON'T PRACTICE EVERY SECTION THAT WE USUALLY DO IN THE MEETINGS.FOR EXAMPLE, WE'LL SKIP EXECUTIVE SESSION THE PLEDGES AND RECOGNITIONS.
BRIAN KINCAID, MANAGER POLICY MANAGEMENT IS LEADING TODAY'S BOARD MEMBER TRAINING.
BRIAN, DO YOU WANT TO GET US STARTED? OK PER OUR RESIDENT DEVICE EXPERT, WHERE DO YOU GO? ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AVOID ANY SLOWDOWNS OR LAGS IS HAVE YOU CLOSE ALL OF YOUR APPLICATIONS IN YOUR IPAD? AND YOU DO THAT BY BEING JUST ON YOUR MAIN OPENING SCREEN AND SLOWLY SWIPING UP FROM THE BOTTOM, SLIGHTLY PAST HALFWAY.
THEN YOU SHOULD SEE SMALL IMAGES LIKE THIS OF ANYTHING THAT IS OPEN AND SWIPE EACH ONE UP AND OFF THE SCREEN TO CLOSE THEM. THIS WILL HELP THE MACHINES BE FASTER.
YEAH, THIS SHOULD ALL BE IN THE I LEGISLATE.
MIC] YEAH. YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT.
IT IS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE VENDOR THAT YOU ONLY HAVE THE ONE PROGRAM OPEN, THOUGH, SO THAT I THINK THAT'S BECAUSE IT CAN MAKE YOUR IPAD LAG.
MIC] AND THEN IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR NOTES AND A VOTE IS CALLED THE THE VOTING BUTTONS WILL OVERLAY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
AND AS SOON AS THE VOTE IS OVER, THEN YOU'LL AGAIN BE SEEING WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT BEFORE.
I MEAN, IF YOU REMEMBER, IT'S THE WHITE BUTTON WITH THE GREEN G.
[00:05:01]
OH, GOT IT.OH THAT'S, NOT THAT'S ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE WHEN I AM CALLED AS A SPEAKER ON AN ITEM.
WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND STOP THAT.
STOP THAT TIMER AND CLEAR SPEAKER.
YEAH. GO AHEAD AND CLEAR THE SPEAKER, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO.
[00:11:00]
IN. SO NOW I THINK WE CAN GO ON WITH THE SCRIPT.COVER CAREFULLY THE USE OF THE BUTTONS.
THIS MOCK MEETING IS NOW CONVENED AT 1:16 P.M..
IT IS NOW TIME TO HEAR FROM SPEAKERS TO SPECIFIC AGENDA ITEMS. WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS REGISTERED THIS EVENING WHO SHALL BE LIMITED TO 2 MINUTES EACH.
WILL BRYAN KINCAID PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM? I'M GOING TO DO THE CALL.
AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
PREP. OUR NEXT ITEM HELD FOR REGISTERED SPEAKERS IS ITEM TWO.
WILL JEANETTE CONROY PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM? JANET CONROY I'M SORRY.
WE WILL NOW CONSIDER ITEMS HELD FOR ABSTENTION AND OR DISCUSSION.
SO DO I HAVE A SPECIFIC ITEM BECAUSE IT JUST SAYS A TRUSTEE SHOULD REQUEST TO SPEAK.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND SANTOS.
OKAY, SO WE WON'T NEED, LET ME CLARIFY.
WE WON'T NEED TRUSTEES TO SAY SECOND, BECAUSE I CAN NOW SEE IT ON MY SCREEN.
[00:15:03]
IS THAT CORRECT? RIGHT.I'LL SAY IT OUT LOUD. WE'LL SAY IT FOR THE PUBLIC.
GOT IT. YOU GOT IT? GOT IT. SHE'LL KNOW THE ONE.
WHAT I WANT YOU TO SEE IS THAT IT TURNED RED AND IT NOW IT SAYS WITHDRAW MOTION FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
SO YOU'LL KNOW IF YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HIT IT BECAUSE IT WILL TURN RED AND SAY, WITHDRAW MOTION.
SO I JUST SECOND THE OPTION TO SECOND AND I SECONDED IT NOW.
THE SECOND BUTTON WORKS THE SAME WAY.
YES SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO REQUEST TO SPEAK ANY MORE AT ALL ABOUT THE MOTION.
SHE'S HAD TO RECLAIM WHAT THE MOTION IS.
I THINK SHE STILL HAS TO SAY THE MOTION.
RIGHT. BUT SO I THOUGHT A QUESTION WAS, SO IS IT REQUEST TO SPEAK? IS IT MOTION AND THEN REQUEST TO SPEAK SO SHE CAN SAY WHAT THE MOTION IS? THANK YOU. YOU DON'T HAVE TO OK.
THANK YOU. BUT TRUSTEES, I DO THINK THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES.
THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THE BOARD PRESIDENT ASK, DO I HAVE A MOTION? AND THEN THAT'S WHEN MYRNA YOU WERE DOING MOTION.
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT GOING TO SAY, DO I HAVE A MOTION? IN THAT CASE, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO SAY WHAT YOUR MOTION IS, AND YOU EITHER NEED TO DO THAT BY REQUESTING TO SPEAK AND MAKE THAT MOTION, OR DO YOU PREFER THEM IF THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DISCUSSION AND NOW THEY WANT TO AMEND THE MOTION THAT'S ON THE TABLE.
DO YOU WANT THEM TO HIT THE MOTION BUTTON OR THE REQUEST TO SPEAK WITH BUTTON OR BOTH? WELL, I THINK IF THERE'S A DISCUSSION AND THEY WANT TO MAKE A MOTION, I THINK HITTING THE MOTION TO MAKE A MOTION BUTTON IS BETTER.
OKAY. BECAUSE THAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECORD IT IN THE SYSTEM AS A MOTION STARTED.
AND SO BOARD PRESIDENT, YOU WILL HAVE TO KNOW AT THAT POINT TO CALL ON THE SPEAKER SO THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY STATE WHAT THEIR MOTION IS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT JUST REPEATING WHAT YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR SCRIPT TO MOVE THE ITEM FOR DISCUSSION.
EXCEPT THAT WE'RE GIVING HER A MIRROR OF YOUR SCREEN.
AND THEN AS THEY'RE MAKING THE MOTION, THEY CAN HIT THE MOTION BUTTON FOR THE PURPOSES OF RECORDING IT.
SO WHAT I, WHAT I'M HEARING THEN WHEN WE ARE INTRODUCING ROUTINE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA AND THE BOARD PRESIDENT JUST NEEDS A MOTION TO GET IT PROPERLY BEFORE THE BOARD FOR DISCUSSION, THAT'S WHEN YOU JUST AUTOMATICALLY PUSH THE MOTION.
IF YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF DISCUSSION AND YOU WANT TO AMEND SOMETHING OR SPLIT SOMETHING OR POSTPONE SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO REQUEST TO SPEAK SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY STATE YOUR MOTION OUT LOUD.
[00:20:51]
I THINK NORMALLY YOU WAIT TO YOUR UNLESS IT'S LIKE YOU WANT TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION OR YOU'RE UNCOMFORTABLE OR YOU NEED TO ADJOURN SOMETHING THAT'S EMERGENCY SO THAT YOU WANT TO INTERRUPT WHO'S CURRENTLY SPEAKING, EVERYTHING ELSE, MOTION TO AMEND, DIVIDE THE ITEM, YOU WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE CALLED ON.EVEN IF I'M NOW IN THE SECOND SET OF POINT.
RIGHT. SHE WON'T COME TO ME AGAIN.
NOT REALLY. WHEN WHEN SOMEONE MAKES A MOTION, THAT'S IT.
NO ONE ELSE CAN INTRODUCE A NEW MOTION UNTIL THAT ONE'S FINISHED.
MIC] ALL RIGHT, DORIS, WHERE ARE WE? ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? TRUSTEE HERNANDEZ. I GOT IN THE QUEUE A LONG TIME AGO.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY NOW.
[00:25:05]
SO MY QUESTION, BRIAN, OR WHOMEVER, IS THERE A POINT OF ORDER BUTTON OR LIKE LET'S SAY WE ARE IN A VERY PASSIONATE DEBATE AND WE NEED TO CALL THE QUESTION, HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT DORIS'S? THERE'S NOT A BUTTON FOR THAT.BUT WHEN YOU SPEAK AND YOU SAY, I MOVED TO CALL THE MOTION.
SHE CAN ENTER THAT AND IT'LL BE TIME STAMPED.
SO IF I SAY POINT OF ORDER, THEN DORIS WOULD HAVE TO THEN.
YES, YOU CAN. SO YOU'LL MANUALLY ENTER POINT OF ORDER.
SO CALL THE QUESTION. WE HAVE TO VOTE ON IT.
SO THEN FROM THAT POINT ON, Y'ALL WILL DEAL WITH THAT.
YEAH. SO IF YOU FOR CALL THE QUESTION, FOR EXAMPLE, SHE WOULD MANUALLY ENTER THAT AND THEN SHE WOULD START THE VOTE MECHANISM.
THANK YOU. THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO ASK A QUESTION TO.
WHY IS THE SPEAKER TIMER UP FOR THE TRUSTEE? BECAUSE WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE TIMING THEM SEPARATELY.
YEAH. OKAY, SO WE'RE STILL ON ITEM OR NO, THE MOTION TO PULL ITEM FOUR FROM CONSENT.
PRESIDENT CRUZ, IF YOU WANT TO CALL A VOTE, PLEASE VOTE.
YEAH, UNTIL THAT'S FINISHED, I DON'T THINK YOU CAN CLEAR IT.
DO WE NEED A VOTE AGAIN? YES. YES.
HOW DOES IT, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT USUALLY SAYS.
SO NOW IT'S CONFUSING ME BECAUSE I ACTUALLY READ THAT ON THE SCREEN.
FOUR YES, ZERO NO, ONE ABSTENTION.
DO I GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE? FOR EACH ITEM OF DISCUSSION, WE WILL DO ONE ROUND OF ONE MINUTE PER TRUSTEE IF AN ADDITIONAL ROUND IS DESIRED, THAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE MOTION SECOND AND BOARD VOTE.
OUR FIRST ITEM HELD FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ITEM TO THE TALENT PRACTICE ITEM.
[00:31:53]
I THINK EVERYONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO SWIPE UP AND START I LEGISLATE AGAIN AND BELIEVE WE HAD AN ERROR. CAN EVERYBODY RESTART THE I LEGISLATE UP, PLEASE? YES. SO SWIPE UP AND OPEN IT UP AGAIN.EVERYONE'S BACK ON THE PHONE AND.
AND SO I BELIEVE WE'RE READY TO PROCEED WITH THE ITEM TWO.
OUR FIRST ITEM HELD FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ITEM TWO.
MAY I HAVE A MOTION? I HAVE A MOTION BY TRUSTEE SANTOS AND A SECOND BY TRUSTEE HERNANDEZ.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? I DON'T SEE THE REQUEST TO SPEAK BUTTON ON MY SCREEN.
SHOULDN'T I ALWAYS SEE THAT? OR NO. BECAUSE WHEN I WAS IN THE APP BEFORE, IT HAD THE LITTLE.
NOW IT'S NOT THERE BECAUSE THEN IT WOULD TURN RED WHEN I COULD SEE SOMEONE.
BECAUSE, WELL, I CAN SEE THEM HERE ON THIS SCREEN, SO I GUESS IT'S OKAY, BUT I CAN'T.
I MOVE THAT WE OFFER A DIRE STADIUM FOR FIFA 2024.
YOU CAN JUST SAY BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MY COMING? I HAVE NO FEELINGS ABOUT IT AT ALL.
[00:35:02]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.THAT'S WHAT I HEARD. TRUSTEE HERNANDEZ.
YES. ONE. YES FOUR NO, ONE ABSTENTION.
YOU CAN'T SAY THE VOTE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT.
NO, I CAN SEE IT, BUT WE'RE ON THE STREET.
AND THE ONLY THING I'M THINKING ABOUT IS ARE ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS PHRASED IN TERMS OF YES.
NO, I THINK IT'S A PHRASE IN TERMS OF APPROVAL.
IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN CHANGE THAT IN THE SYSTEM? I'M NOT SURE IT'S A YES NO SCRIPT SAYS, YEAH, I THINK YOU SHOULD STILL SAY IT THE WAY, BECAUSE I'M NOT FOR SURE THAT ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ACTUALLY A YES NO THAT YOU'RE.
OKAY. CAN WE MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM? OK. OUR NEXT ITEM HELD FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ITEM THREE, THE BUSINESS OPERATIONS ITEM.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? SOMEBODY NEEDS A SECOND Y'ALL.
SECOND. I HAVE A MOVE MOTION FOR YOU.
I HAVE A MOTION BY TRUSTEE GUIDRY AND A SECOND BY TRUSTEE HERNANDEZ.
ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? PLEASE VOTE.
WELL, YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND.
WHAT? OKAY SO SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND Y'ALL.
MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION, THE MOTION ON THE TABLE.
WHAT WAS YOUR MOTION? I HAVE A MOTION BY TRUSTEE SANTOS AND A SECOND BY TRUSTEE WADE.
ANY DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENT? OK. PLEASE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT AND THE MOTION AS AMENDED.
OH, YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT. 5 FOR, 0 AGAINST, ZERO ABSTENTIONS.
NOW WE VOTE ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED.
[00:40:02]
WE WILL NOW VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL ITEM AS AMENDED.TRUSTEE HERNANDEZ. YOU'RE IN THE QUEUE.
SO THERE'S THIS LITTLE BLUE STICKERS, AND THEY'RE A RED, TINY CORNER.
THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S. I HAVE TO BE LOOKING AT IT.
I CAN ALSO SEE IT HERE, SO I JUST NEED TO BE LIKE.
YES. YOU DID THAT? NO. DID WE VOTE? NO. TWO MORE WEEKS.
REALLY? SO WE HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER MOTION BUT WOULDN'T KNOW.

[00:45:01]
OH, WHAT A PRACTICE. OH.FIVE FOR, ONE AGAINST, ONE ABSTENTION.
DO I HAVE? DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE BALANCE OF TODAY'S AGENDA BY CONSENSUS? SO MOVE SANTOS.
