Board members, new or unfinished business. Wow, a remarkably silent group. Ill volunteer one thing. I put myself out there on that one.

Against each of them. In quick summary, our Human Resources director, kimberly acreman, has been leading that effort, along with donte king, and virginia harmon. They have been busy creating some standards that did not exist, about treating all employees fairly. It includes written recruitment policies that make the process more transparent.

Providing better training opportunities to managers and supervisors, as well as frontline employees, in partnership with the department of Human Resources. Reviving the e. O. Process to make it more easily understandable, and improving communication and transparency throughout.

We can tell you from our experience here right now it is certainly much cooler this morning, with a little more relative humidity, more humidity in the air. Both of these very good signs for cal firefighters as they try to get control of the bear fire. The fire did settle down overnight. One of the things they wanted me to get across to folks, they received calls into the night up until midnight last night about people concerned that the fire was making a run. They say that does not appear to be the case. The fire has not made a run into surrounding areas. Firefighters telling me that they got calls as far away as saratoga and the fire is certainly not in that area.
