Work on a more normal basis, well continue to try to meet remotely so that we can play our part in slowing the spread of covid19. I want to also announce a couple of reminders to the conduct of this hearing. Members should keep their video feed on as long as they are present in the hearing, and members are responsible for their own microphones. Just be mindful that you probably have a little bit more responsibility than usual than if we were in a regular meeting space.
