Ask the public to participate remotely by writing to the board or leaving a voicemail message. For all comments received in advance of the meeting we have received and we appreciate these comments. While Technology Allows us to hold these meetings via teleconference, it may not be as seamless as it would like to be. There will be gaps in some airtime, staff at times the staff transitions between the speakers and the callers. Know that we are doing the best that we possibly can and we ask for your understanding and patience as we are all learning this new way of working together. A reminder to the Board Members to mute themselves to minimize the background noise. Board members will have to remember to unmute themselves to comment.
