THIS PRACTICE MEETING IS NOW CONVENED.
BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT IN THE AUDITORIUM ARE . PAUSE. BRIEFLY GIVE BRIAN TIME TO ENTER.
RIGHT. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE THAT FOR THE REAL MEETING THAT'S HAPPENED AT THIS TIME.
OUR FIRST ITEM HELD FOR REGISTERED SPEAKERS IS ITEM TWO.
WILL EMILY SMITH PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE? OKAY. SO THE BOARD PRESIDENT'S SEAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE WHO'S LISTED AS A SPEAKER.
AND THERE ARE TWO WAYS THAT YOU CAN CALL THEM.
SO YOU CLICK ON THE NAME YOU WANT CALLED AND THEN THE AUDIENCE WILL SEE THAT NAME HERE.
IF THAT SCREEN IS THE ONE THAT'S SHOWING, IF YOU DON'T DO IT, THEN BRIAN WILL CALL THAT SPEAKER.
SO WHERE ARE WE ON SPEAKERS? I CAN ADD YOU RIGHT NOW SO THAT WE CAN SEE THAT.
OKAY. WAS I SUPPOSED TO REGISTER TO SPEAK FOR THIS MEETING? MA'AM, WE DO NOT CARE IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER TO SPEAK FOR THE MEETING.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK, AT THE MEETING.
SO YOU WILL SEE THE LIST OF NAMES THAT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED.
THAT'S ONE REASON THAT WE RECORDED AHEAD OF TIME.
BECAUSE THEN THEY'RE IN OUR SYSTEM AND YOU'RE ABLE TO CALL THEM.
WHEN THE TIME WAS. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS THE OH, EXCUSE ME.
THE NEXT ITEM HELD FOR REGISTERED SPEAKERS IS ITEM THREE.
WILL JANET CONROY, PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE.
THANK YOU, MISS CONROY. ONE SECOND.
OUR FOLLOWING SPEAKERS ARE IN THE AUDITORIUM THIS EVENING.
MR. KINCAID, YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.
SO THE NAMES SHOULD BE ON THE LEFT SIDE.
OR THEY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE.
OR THEY'RE JUST GOING TO POPULATE ONE OF THEIR SPEAKERS WHEN THEY'RE PULLED UP.
[00:05:03]
OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.THANK YOU, MS.. DOE AND MR. SMITH. OKAY, THAT CONCLUDES OUR HEARING OF AGENDA SPEAKERS.
WE'LL NOW HEAR FROM SPEAKERS WHO REGISTERED FOR THE HEARING OF THE COMMUNITY.
WILL JANET CONROY PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE? SO JUST AS A REMINDER, HEARING IN THE COMMUNITY IS ONLY AT THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING.
ALL OTHER MEETINGS OF THE BOARD ONLY HAVE SPEAKERS TO REGISTER TO POST AN AGENDA ITEMS. SO THAT'S WHY HEARING THE COMMUNITY IS A FREE TOPIC THAT'S ONLY MONTHLY.
OKAY. NEXT IS MR. KINCAID. OKAY, MISS SMITH.
OKAY. OKAY. WE ARE READY TO CONSIDER OUR DISCUSSION AND REPORT ITEM.
THERE WAS A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU. WE ARE READY FOR COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM BOARD MEMBERS.
PLEASE INDICATE YOUR INTEREST IN THE Q.
SO WHEN IT'S TIME TO SPEAK, WHEN SHE CALLS FOR DISCUSSION, REMEMBER THAT YOU CLICK ON REQUEST.
OKAY, MISS VANDY, PLEASE GO AHEAD.
SO I'M GOING TO PAUSE YOU REAL QUICK.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN, YOU HAVE THREE TABS ON THE FLOOR AGENDA AND PREVIOUS VOTE.
SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S COMING UP AND YOU CAN CLICK BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THESE FREELY.
IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT SHOW YOU DIFFERENT INFORMATION.
SO ON THE FLOOR IS WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
I WAS GOING TO ASK ON THE I SEE SPEAKER TIMER, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT FOR OUR.
CORRECT. SO IS THAT GOING TO SHOW UP? I THINK. DOES IT SHOW? WE JUST DON'T SET IT.
OKAY. THE SPACE SHOWS, BUT IT WON'T HAVE ANY NUMBERS.
WE DON'T HAVE TO FIND IT. GREEN IS WHERE WE'RE AT.
YEP. SO YOU TRACK WHERE YOU ARE.
COOL. IF YOU GET LOST, YOU CAN CLICK THERE.
OKAY. DOES ANY OF THIS TONIGHT? NO. NEXT WEEK.
YEAH. DO ANY OF THE OTHER SPEAKERS REALLY WANT TO TALK? THANK YOU. WE WILL NOW CONSIDER ITEMS HELD FOR ABSTENTION AND OR DISCUSSION.
MAY I HAVE A MOTION? SO ARE WE THERE YET? WE DIDN'T SCRIPT THIS, SO ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO MAKE THE MOTION WILL PUSH A MOTION.
OKAY, SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ORALLY SAY IT AND YOU CLICK ON MOVE ON THE BUTTON OR.
OH, GOT IT. SO AFTER YOU GET CHOSEN, SO WHEN YOU SEE THE MOTION BUTTON, YOU SAY, MAY I HAVE A MOTION? THE PERSON WHO HITS MOTION FIRST, IT WILL SHOW THAT YOU'VE MADE THE MOTION.
BUT THIS SAYS BOARD MEMBER STATES THE MOTION, DO THEY NOT? SOMEBODY HAS TO READ A MOTION, RIGHT? WHEN YOU.
WE'RE NOT JUST GOING TO DO IT WITHOUT SAYING NO.
ITEM TWO, [INAUDIBLE] WHATEVER THE TITLE IS.
AND THEN YOU CLICK I WOULD CLICK FIRST.
YOU HAVE TO CLICK FIRST. IT HAS TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE MAKING THE MOTION.
THEN YOU HAVE TO REQUEST TO SPEAK TO NO.
SO THAT'S THE PERSON WHO SHOULD SAY, GOT IT? SAY THE MOTION.
OKAY. BUT DID HE PRESS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN? THERE'S SOMETHING THAT SAYS MOVE.
IT'S GONE NOW BECAUSE IT WAS MOVED.
AND THEN THERE'S A SECOND ONE WHEN IT'S MOVED, THE SECOND COMES UP AND YOU HIT THAT, IT GOES AWAY.
AND THEN IT SHOWS THAT I MOVED AND CASSANDRA SECONDED.
SO THE NEXT GO ROUND, LET'S GO SLOW SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
AND NOBODY HIT THE MOTION UNTIL EVERYBODY SEES THE BUTTON AND THEN WE'LL PROCEED.
OKAY? SO NOW WE NEED A SECONDER.
YES. AND I STILL HAVE A QUESTION.
IS RIC JUST GOING ON MIC AND SAYING I NEED BLAH BLAH BLAH OR IS RIC LIKE.
[00:10:02]
SO HE CLICKS MOTION FIRST AND THEN HE TALKS.OKAY. AND WE NEED TO HAVE A SECOND.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
WHEN YOU SEE THOSE TWO, THEN WE'LL WE'LL DO THE VERBAL PART.
BUT AFTER THE SECOND OR AFTER THE MOTION SECOND UNTIL WE HEAR IT.
IN THE PAST, WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS PART.
WE'VE JUST SAID, MAY I HAVE A MOTION? AND THEN WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
SO. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF WIGGLE ROOM ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO PROCEED.
WE USED TO JUST DO IT AUTOMATICALLY AND NOW WE'RE TRYING TO INSERT THE SPOKEN LINE.
I THINK IT'S OKAY TO WAIT FOR THE SECOND.
I MEAN, BECAUSE THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN PRETTY QUICKLY.
OKAY. AND THEN IF THERE IS A SECOND, GREAT.
I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO SPEAK ON THE SECOND.
RIGHT. I THINK YOU HAVE TO SAY A SECOND.
SO WHAT HAPPENED HERE IS I BELIEVE THE RIC WITHDREW AND CASSANDRA WITHDREW.
LET'S TRY IT NOW. SO CASSANDRA HAS MADE THE MOTION.
NOW YOU SPEAK IN THE MEETING, IT WILL PROBABLY GO FASTER.
I MEAN, YOU'LL SEE THE SECOND BUTTON AND OFTEN PEOPLE JUST SECOND THE MOTION IMMEDIATELY.
SO WE CAN YOU CAN DECIDE HOW YOU WANT IT TO GO, BUT THE AUDIENCE DOESN'T SEE THAT.
IF IT'S EASIER NOT TO PUT TOO MUCH ON YOU.
BUT YOU ALSO MAY SAY, MAY I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE? FIVE MINUTES AGO. AND THEN SOMEBODY SAYS.
WOULD YOU PREFER IT THAT WAY? YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY EASIER THAN EITHER THAN SOMEONE FUMBLING OVER.
SO YOU WOULD SAY, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO AND THEN SAY IT RIGHT.
AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE SO MOVED AND SECONDED.
WE DON'T HAVE TO READ IT. YEP.
AND THEN THE SECOND PERSON WILL SAY, I SECOND.
RIGHT. AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT.
YOU JUST CLICK IT. AND ONCE YOU SEE A MOTION AND A SECOND, THEN I CAN ANNOUNCE IT.
THEN YOU CAN ANNOUNCE IT. OKAY.
SO YOU WOULD JUST WANT PEOPLE TO WAIT TO SEE THEIR NAME BEFORE THEY SPEAK.
AND THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.
THANK YOU. SO IF YOU DON'T IF SOMEONE DOESN'T SAY SECOND, THEN WE ONLY SEE IT.
BUT THE AUDIENCE DOESN'T KNOW WHO SECOND IT.
IF AUDREY JUST SAYS, I GOT A SECOND.
OKAY, SO WE CAN LEAVE IT LIKE THAT IF YOU PREFER THAT LINE.
SORRY. THAT LINE IS STILL IN THERE WHERE SHE IDENTIFIES THE SECOND.
BUT ALSO, I THINK IF IT'S IF THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY.
RIGHT. OR SOME CONTROVERSY OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW.
AND YOU I MEAN, YOU MAY SAY SECOND AND IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.
I DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
RIGHT. AND THIS IS WHY WE WANTED TO HAVE A FULL BOARD MEETING, BECAUSE THESE ARE THE KIND OF DETAILS WHERE YOU ALL WILL DECIDE HOW IT FLOWS BEST FOR YOU AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT SO WE CAN TRY IT ONE WAY AND THEN GO FORWARD IF THAT DOESN'T WORK.
ARE YOU OKAY? SO RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE WE STILL DON'T HAVE A MOVER OR A SECONDER UNLESS.
HAS IT BEEN RECORDED, BRIAN AND YOU'VE MOVED ON OR ARE WE? DID PEOPLE WITHDRAW? WE WOULD WITHDRAW. OKAY.
SO WE NOW WE HAVE A MOVER AND A SECONDER.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER MENDOZA AND A SECOND BY.
OKAY. SORRY. SO WE'RE UP HERE ON THIS? YEAH. OKAY.
IT'S BECOME ASK FOR THE MOTION, SO YOU OUGHT TO READ THE MOTION.
OH, BUT IT'S LATIN, SO WE'VE ALREADY.
MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE WHATEVER IT IS? SO, WAIT, WE DID IT.
ARE WE ON THE SECOND GO ROUND HERE? RIGHT. SO IF YOU CAN SEE WHAT ON YOUR TAB WHERE IT SAYS MOTION ON THE FLOOR, THAT MEANS THAT IT'S BEEN RECORDED BY THE MEETING MANAGER.
OKAY. SO IF IT WAS IN THE TAB THAT SAYS MOTION IN PROGRESS, THAT WAS BEFORE IT WAS RECORDED.
NOW HE TOOK THE MOTION AND THE SECONDER.
[00:15:01]
SO RICK'S NAME HERE IS A NEW MOTION.IS THAT WHY IT'S HERE? I THINK SO.
YEAH. SO WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT BRIAN RECORDED THE MOTION IN THE SECOND.
THAT'S WHY IT'S MOVED OVER TO MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
SO IT MAY HAVE BEEN THAT YOU WERE SO QUICK THAT YOU DIDN'T REALIZE IT'S NOW A NEW MOTION.
SO IF YOU'VE WITHDRAWN THAT, THEN WE'RE BACK TO NUMBER TWO AND WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.
OKAY. SO LET ME WE HAVE A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER MENDOZA AND A SECOND BY BOARD MEMBER CAMPO.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? RIGHT. AND SO NOW IS THE REQUEST TO SPEAK.
MENDOZA. THANK YOU FOR THE MOTION.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? CONCERNS.
I WILL NOT SAY THAT. PLEASE VOTE.
SO EVERYBODY SHOULD SEE THE VOTE SCREEN.
DOES EVERYBODY SEE THE VOTE SCREEN? OKAY. CAN I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE WITHDRAW VOTE BUTTON? THAT IS, IF YOU HIT THE WRONG BUTTON, THEN YOU CAN WITHDRAW IT AND CHANGE YOUR MIND ONLY BEFORE IT'S RECORDED.
AND WHAT IS THAT? SO WHAT WE'VE WORKED OUT IN THE PAST IS THAT WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONFIRM WITH ME OR BRIAN, LIKE WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHO YOU HAVE EYE CONTACT WITH. LIKE, DOES HE HAVE ALL NINE VOTES? AND THEN HE'LL GIVE US A THUMBS UP OR I'LL GIVE YOU A THUMBS UP.
AND THAT MEANS ALL VOTES HAVE BEEN RECORDED.
BECAUSE ONE THING WE'VE FOUND IS THAT WE CANNOT GO BACKWARDS ONCE THE VOTE HAS BEEN RECORDED.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET ALL THE VOTES BEFORE HE CLOSES IT.
SO, BRIAN, DO YOU HAVE ALL THE VOTES? SO THUMBS UP.
SO YOU COULD SAY THE VOTE IS CLOSED.
OH, I CLICKED SOMETHING AND IT'S GONE.
WHERE DID IT GO? IT GOES AWAY.
YEAH. WHERE? IT'S OVER THERE. SO YOU.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT AT THE BOTTOM.
OKAY. THANK YOU. SIX IN FAVOR.
GREAT. SO WE CAN'T MAKE THAT SCREEN STAY ON THE PUBLIC SCREEN.
OKAY. HOW LONG WILL THE VOTE SCREEN STAY ON FOR THE PUBLIC? IT'S A MATTER OF SECONDS THAT'S PROGRAMED INTO THE SYSTEM.
SO I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER OF SECONDS, BUT IT'S NOT VERY LONG.
AND IT'S PROJECTED HERE AND THERE.
IT'S PROJECTED HERE AND BEHIND US AS WELL.
SO IT'S RECORDED ON, ON THE, THE LIVE STREAM AS WELL.
WOULD THERE BE AN OPTION TO INCREASE THE SECONDS? JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ACTUALLY ASKED WE'VE ASKED THE COMPANY AND SO IT IS ON THEIR LIST OF MODIFICATIONS THAT WE'VE REQUESTED LIKE HOW TO ADJUST THAT.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT CAPABILITY RIGHT NOW.
YEAH. OKAY. OUR NEXT ITEM HELD FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ITEM THREE.
MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO WHATEVER THE MOTION IS? SO WE'VE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND, IT LOOKS LIKE.
YEAH. SO DOES ANGIE SAY I HAVE A I MOVED TO.
I KNOW. I THINK WE DECIDED THAT WE'RE NOT DOING IT AT ALL.
YOU'RE GOING TO SAY IT AND WE'LL JUST SCRIPT THAT.
OKAY. NO, NO. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO.
YES. RIGHT. I THOUGHT WE WERE SAYING THAT SHE WOULD SAY YES.
THAT'S FINE. I HAVE A MOTION BY MISS FLOWERS AND A SECOND BY MR. MARTINEZ TO BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? MR. RAVEN, PLEASE GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU. OKAY, SO FOR THIS ONE, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD TRY A VARIATION THAT'S NOT SCRIPTED.
[00:20:04]
SO WHAT THAT WOULD REQUIRE IS THAT A BOARD MEMBER WOULD FIRST REQUEST TO SPEAK.THEN YOU'D HAVE TO BE CALLED UPON BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT.
AND WHEN YOU SPEAK, YOU THEN SAY, I WOULD LIKE TO.
MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND AND THEN WHATEVER IT IS.
YOU HAVE TO VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT AND THEN GO BACK AND VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL ITEM AS AMENDED.
SO THAT WILL NEST OUR TWO MOTIONS.
AND SO WE'LL SEE THAT UP HERE.
SO ONCE THE SPEAKER IS DONE, LIKE MR. RAVEN IS DONE SPEAKING, SO LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DISCUSSION, SOMEONE WILL WANT TO SAY, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.
BUT I'M JUST SAYING ON THE SCREEN HIS NAME REMAINS THERE.
IS THAT BECAUSE SO WE HAVEN'T GONE TO THE NEXT DISCUSSION? I THINK SO. YOU HAVE THE DISCRETION.
DO YOU WANT TO YOU WANT TO CALL ON WHO'S REQUESTED TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU ENTERTAIN AN ADDITIONAL MOTION? YOU COULD JUST CALL ON THE NEXT PERSON.
OKAY. BUT BUT BUT BRIAN WILL I GUESS AS THE SPEAKER SPEAK, THEY WILL GO AWAY.
THEY GO AWAY. THANK YOU. UM, SO MY MISS LINDER, ARE YOU MAKING A MOTION TO AMEND? IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOU? THANK YOU. YES.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND ITEM THREE, PLEASE.
OKAY. IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON ITEM THREE BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE ON THE MOTION TO AMEND? IS THAT THE QUESTION? WELL, OR DO WE HAVE SINCE YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY IN THE QUEUE AND THIS WILL GET A LEGAL OPINION, I BELIEVE YOU WOULD MOVE ON TO THE MOTION.
RIGHT. SINCE YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY ELSE WAITING, DON'T WE NEED A SECOND ON HER MOTION? YOU DO NEED A SECOND ON HER MOTION.
SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THE MOTION.
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE BRIAN A MINUTE TO ENTER IT.
SO HE'S GOING TO ENTER THE MOTION TO.
AND THEN I THINK, WHAT DID YOU SAY? IT WAS A MOTION TO AMEND WHAT ITEM THREE TO AMEND ITEM THREE, SOMETHING TO DO SOMETHING ELSE TO IT.
SO THE MOTION IS TO DO SOMETHING ELSE TO ITEM THREE.
AND SO NOW YOU WOULD HAVE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION TO AMEND.
GOT IT. SO WE HAD A MOTION TO AMEND BY MISS GARZA LINDER AND A SECOND BY MISS CRUZ ARNOLD.
NOW WE VOTE RIGHT? DISCUSSION ON THE DISCUSSION ON THAT.
OKAY, SO LET'S SAY IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION TO AMEND? WE HAVE TO REQUEST TO SPEAK TO IT, YES.
SO, MS.. FLOWERS, PLEASE GO AHEAD.
I DON'T AGREE WITH HER AMENDMENT AND I DON'T LIKE IT.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? OKAY. PLEASE VOTE.
SO GIVE BRIAN ONE MINUTE TO PULL UP THE VOTE.
SO WE'RE VOTING ON THE AMENDMENT.
RIGHT? YOU'RE VOTING. I PROBABLY SHOULD ANNOUNCE.
YES. OKAY. WE'RE NOW VOTING ON THE MOTION TO AMEND ITEM THREE.
CORRECT. BY MISS GARZA LINDER.
AND I THINK YOU HAVE TO SAY WHAT IT IS.
SEE. SO DOES EVERYBODY SEE A VOTE SCREEN? OKAY. NO.
SO BRIAN GAVE YOU THE THUMBS UP.
ALL NINE IN. OKAY, SO THE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT IS.
CONCLUDED THE VOTE IS CONCLUDED.
FOUR IN FAVOR TO OPPOSE, THREE ABSTENTIONS.
NOW. NOW WE WILL VOTE ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED.
CORRECT. THE ORIGINAL ITEM AS AMENDED.
THREE ABSTENTIONS. IT SAID IT PASSED FOR A SIMPLE MAJORITY.
SIMPLE. OKAY, WELL, THEN OUR COMPUTER SYSTEM, IT'S SIMPLE MAJORITY.
THAT IS THE MAJORITY. HE'S SAYING FIVE IS PASSING.
OH. BECAUSE THERE WERE THREE ABSTENTIONS.
DON'T COUNT. THERE ARE THREE ABSTENTIONS.
SO THEY KICK OUT. DON'T COUNT.
NO, THEY DON'T COUNT AS PART OF YOU'RE MAKING.
I THINK WE NEED THAT'S THAT'S THE PURPOSE.
THAT'S RIGHT. BUT IT REDUCES THE TOTAL NUMBER BECAUSE WE NEED A QUORUM ANYWAY, RIGHT? YEAH. THAT'S WHY VOTING MATTERS.
MAJORITY ABSTENTIONS DON'T COUNT AS I BELIEVE.
WE'LL MAKE SURE WE'RE CORRECT, BUT WE THINK WE'RE CORRECT.
OKAY. OKAY. SO THE MOTION PASSES.
I JUST SAID IT. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
THANK YOU. UM, THE MOTION TO WHATEVER THE MOTION WAS OF ITEM THREE IS AMENDED TO FIX IT OR WHATEVER YOU SAID PASSES.
NOW, WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS.
OUR LAST ITEM HELD FROM CONSENT IS.
[00:25:02]
SO THAT WAS JUST A VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT.SO WE HAVE I THOUGHT WE JUST VOTED ON NO.
SO THE THAT WAS THE MOTION TO AMEND.
TO AMEND. OH, SO I WAS OPENING IT FOR DISCUSSION.
BUT THEN WE NEED TO OPEN DISCUSSION FOR THAT TOO, RIGHT? TECHNICALLY. BUT THERE MAY NOT BE ANY REQUESTS TO SPEAK.
THERE'S BEEN A MOTION WHICH IS PASSED TO AMEND ITEM THREE TO MAKE A CHANGE TO IT IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED PRIOR TO THE VOTE? OKAY.
PLEASE VOTE ON ITEM THREE AS AMENDED.
HOLD ON. WHAT JUST HAPPENED? THE MOTION PASSES. FIVE IN FAVOR.
THREE OPPOSED. ONE ABSTENTION.
SO WE'LL SKIP THAT LITTLE SECTION AND THEN WE GO TO OUR LAST ITEM HELD FROM CONSENT.
OUR LAST ITEM HELD FROM CONSENT IS ITEM FOUR, WHICH IS TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING.
MAY I HAVE A MOTION ON ITEM FOUR TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING? TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING? I HAVE. SO IS THIS LIVE? THIS IS CORRECT, RIC.
OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER CAMPO AND A SECOND BY BOARD MEMBER GARZA LINDER.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? OKAY. SO FOR THIS ONE, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD PRACTICE DOING SOMETHING THAT ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY, WHICH IS TO A MOTION TO POSTPONE.
BUT I WANTED JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SOME OPTIONS.
IF YOU EVER MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE.
YOU WANT TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT TO WHAT TIME OR POSTPONE INDEFINITELY.
SO YOU WANT TO NAME EITHER OPTION AND TO WHAT TIME.
OKAY. THAT'S A MOTION TO APPROVE, SO I NEED TO DO A REQUEST TO SPEAK.
YES. OKAY. BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE MOTION, TOO.
WE'RE IN IT. YEAH. ALL RIGHT, MISS BANDY.
OH, IT HAS TO BE SECONDED. SORRY.
TABLING IS IN THE MEETING, IT'S TABLED AND CAN COME BACK LATER IN THE MEETING.
YEAH. IT COULD COME BACK OR IT CAN NOT COME BACK.
I THOUGHT TABLING IT WOULD JUST TAKE IT OFF OF THE AGENDA FOR THE DAY, FOR THE MEETING.
YEAH, FOR THAT MEETING. AND NOBODY COULD.
AND I THINK THAT KATASHA OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO SAY THAT, SAY DIFFERENTLY.
BUT FOR POSTPONING, IT'S IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA LIKE LET'S GATHER RESEARCH AND COME BACK IN 30 DAYS.
OKAY. SO NOW WE HAVE WE HAVE NOW A MOTION TO POSTPONE AND A SECOND BY MISS GARZA LINDER.
AND IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION TO POSTPONE.
AND MISS BANDY IS STILL IN THE QUEUE TO TALK, BUT I THINK THAT WAS FROM EARLIER.
SO DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT? NO. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
OKAY. AT THIS TIME, WE'LL VOTE ON THE MOTION TO POSTPONE.
[00:30:03]
GOOD. OKAY.EVERYBODY'S VOTED. THE MOTION TO POSTPONE IS PASSED.
SO LET ME JUST ANSWER NOW THAT MY MICROPHONE IS ON.
SO FOR THE MOTION TO TABLE, IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GO TO THE NEXT MEETING, RIGHT? IF IT DOESN'T.
THE MOTION TO POSTPONE IS TO A DATE CERTAIN.
SO YOU CAN KIND OF USE THEM INTERCHANGEABLY.
BUT IF YOU MEAN FOR THE MOTION TO COME BACK AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT ANY DIRECTION TO BOARD SERVICES, THEN YOU NEED TO USE THE MOTION TO POSTPONE, RIGHT? IF YOU WANT TO BE SURE THAT IT COMES BACK ON THE NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING, THEN YOU NEED TO USE MOTION TO POSTPONE.
SO DO WE HAVE A VOTE FOR THAT? AND OF COURSE, YOU CAN ASK ME IN THE MOMENT, TOO, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT.
DID WE HAVE A VOTE ON THE POSTPONE? YES. OKAY.
SO DID YOU CALL THE RESULTS? YES. OKAY.
OKAY. SO IF THE IF IT HAD FAILED, IF IT HAD FAILED, WE WOULD JUST GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION.
AND SO NOW ON PAGE SIX, WE'RE JUST ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
WE ARE NOW READY TO CONSIDER THE REMAINDER OF TODAY'S AGENDA.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE BALANCE OF TODAY'S MOCK AGENDA BY CONSENSUS? SO WE. YEAH, WE LOST THEM RIGHT AWAY.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? OKAY. PLEASE VOTE.
ALL VOTES ARE IN. OH, ALL VOTES ARE IN.
ALL SEVEN IN FAVOR TO OPPOSE THE MOTION TO ACCEPT THE BALANCE OF TODAY'S AGENDA BY CONSENSUS PASSES.
SO THAT CONCLUDES EVERYTHING WE'VE SCRIPTED FOR YOU.
BUT THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY OR DISCUSS.
IF YOU ARE IF WE'VE KIND OF GONE THROUGH PORTIONS OF THE AGENDA ALREADY AND FOR SOME REASON SOMETHING CHANGES OR WHATEVER, SOMETHING COMES UP THAT RELATES TO AN EARLIER AGENDA ITEM, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY COMPLICATED PROCESS TO KIND OF GO BACK TO.
IS THERE. YOU MEAN THE PROCESS TO GO BACK TO AN EARLIER AGENDA ITEM? WAS IT IS THERE ONE WAS IT A VOTE THAT WAS ALREADY TAKEN? YES, IT'S A MOTION TO RECONSIDER AND IT HAS TO BE BROUGHT BY SOMEONE ON THE WINNING SIDE.
AND YOU HAVE THE CONVERSATION AND THEN YOU REVOTE.
YEAH, IT'S JUST THAT IT HAS TO JUST THE MOTION.
IT HAS TO BE SOMEONE WHO IS VOTED IN FAVOR OF IT.
IT WON OR VOTED AGAINST IT, BUT THE SECOND IT DOESN'T MATTER.
YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN IT'S A VOTE AGAIN.
YEAH. AND I WANT TO RECONSIDER THE VOTE THAT I MADE.
I GOT IT. AND GIVE EVERYBODY THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE, TOO.
SO WE WILL NOT EVER RUN MEETINGS THROUGH THE APP ON YOUR IPAD.
YOU WILL NEVER JOIN THE MEETING THROUGH THE APP.
SO IF YOU DO, THEN IT ACTUALLY SHOWS UP IN THIS MEETING AND IT IT MESSES WITH OUR MEETING BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE SOMEWHERE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AND YOUR NAME SHOWS UP.
YOU JUST LOOK AT THE AGENDA ON YOUR IPAD.
[00:35:01]
IF YOU'RE NOT AT THE MEETING, YOU'RE ZOOMED IN.NO, WE WOULD RECORD FOR YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE EVERYBODY HARDWIRED IN HERE.
BRIAN WOULD ENTER IT FOR YOU. YOU HAVE TO RAISE YOUR HAND.
SO HARDWIRED REALLY IS THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN KIND OF ALL SEE THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME.
AND THE APP DOESN'T KEEP UP, AT LEAST NOT AS WELL.
IN TERMS OF. AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE QUORUM IN PERSON, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A QUORUM.
SO THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY REMINDER ABOUT THE QUORUM COURT IN PERSON.
BUT THE MEMBER WHO'S ON ZOOM CAN PARTICIPATE FULLY IN THE MEETING.
SO YOU ARE ALL A-PLUS STUDENTS.
THAT IS A KEY POINT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW WHO IS GOING TO BE ON ZOOM AND WHO'S NOT.
RIGHT. YOU WOULD DEFINITELY TO KNOW THAT.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW AHEAD OF TIME.
I KNOW PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, WEEKS OR MONTHS IN ADVANCE SOMETIMES.
WE'LL COMMUNICATE WITH YOU ABOUT THAT.
OKAY? SO I THINK THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRACTICE SESSION WITH NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS.
THIS MEETING OF THE BOARD IS ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU. EVERYBODY STARTS AT FIVE.
YES. HOW ARE YOU?
