I'm just going over venue remember if anybody would like to address the Commission from the public, the general public. This is where they could come in to speak, because it's open so there'll be no one. Here then, we'll move on to our next item status report on the candidate applications for the 2019 Hall of Fame event with possible action and any other matters there too. Just an update that we did post on Facebook I did send you all some information. I, think everybody thought it I will send it to the new members.

I know five people as of right. Now we should get some application know that the.

B

A

And what I was told so some other members have walked in the application for the people and that's I guess if they wanted to be review and kind of, they are not sure if it submitted properly, but as long as they walk into the city.

A

Yes and I will forward you the application.

J

For the categories.

A

J

A

G

A

Was one of our.

G

A

Do you have anything you'd like to share about the adventure well.

D

It was a beautiful event, I think it was very well organized from the media. The mentoring Leggett announced it and then the actual day of Carrollton. So.

A

Update on that, because we're living it budget and we are not going to be doing the media events like we did last year, so we will just be doing a press conference, probably after City Council or we will just let everybody know whom will be honored and our event will be at the max because we're limited to either the max or the public library specific places.

G

To home, okay,.

A

C

A

Will I think one of the comments that we heard from it from this last tour was that her went a little long, sort of Annette shortened it up a little bit, and you know we'll talk to you on some suggestions to choose recipients best. You, oh thank.

E

A

This is you, that's a notification, and there is a category around about you. Thank.

G

A

I will also email people. Thank you.

H

And nobody can know nobody from the Commission can nominate anybody else.

H

We can at that point, yeah I know what.

C

A

H

That I'm gonna nominate, such-and-such or.

A

H

Somebody this weekend, we.

A

Do a few more changes this year that just got passed by City Council, so they're up at the very top, and one of them was not to put in an application for anybody. That's running for public office that is currently serving in a public office, benedicted capacity.

A

Any other comments on applications or question.

A

Status report on 2019 Hall of Fame venomous possible action any other.

I

Spoke with mr. Bernabe is from the max. He said the 31st is OK for March, but I was just a matter of the hours, letting him know. I said that probably the subcommittee would be visiting with him, I guess: you're gonna name a subcommittee and then y'all passed him about the minions told them that you have provided some that were.

E

C

I

Which are the first two pages if everyone has a copy of the menu, the extra one out there.

A

But there is I did notice before the Megane brunch menu.

I

And then I asked him to give me some additional ones which he ordered me. It's like seven other he's an.

C

These are ideas of what we do. Private organizations.

I

Other group set at the request meal, and so we prevent the menu that he has. But.

C

He said he can also do a custom menu and.

I

G

Said that we were going to use one or the other.

I

C

Said the first one was the 31st. If.

K

It was available.

K

Person available for.

J

Watching today,.

A

L

Deadline is the 25th for your certification and it's going to be presented to Council.

I

A

Have called a special meeting for the mother.

I

Group here, yeah.

A

For us, okay, so everybody here we're having a special meeting on the 4th so that you can go. We can look at who the selection committee has selected as March the.

G

H

And the reason.

A

For that is because our regularly scheduled meeting in Falls on spring break- and some of you all- may be planning to.

C

A

That is here we're personally meeting our group.

E

A

Is we will present them to you all, because we do have a selection committee and then we will person that would be.

F

Our regular scheduled meeting, but up a month a week, that's what you're saying right Sophie that will be the fourth right.

A

Now, yes, yes, ma'am I'm.

K

Brittany members we've been hunting because of the shortage of members and week we hadn't been named meeting form, and so we do not want to chance it. On our last meeting, we said all these dates because we had quarrelled right. So we have said you know what, because of the application that we extended the deadline for that unto the twenty fearing the committee. There's a subcommittee.

C

On which are the officers.

K

To vet they meet, they review all the applications and they they select. The best cabinet I recommend there's other court. They come and meet with us as general say: okay, we selected these ladies on these categories and then, of course, the committee say yay or nay, and but in case within half, when a quorum on the 11th, because the city comes with on the 18, we decided to take a step ahead and say: okay, this meet on the 4th with a special called meeting.

K

We make one we're good we're golden and on the 11th we just discuss other matters. If we don't make it, then we have another meeting that we can target, which will be the 11th or in your meeting. So that's the reason why we scheduled a special meeting and a regular meeting for that month and.

A

C

A

Notify everybody.

K

Yeah, just the simple fact that, because we hadn't been making quorum, she.

L

Has mentioned that after.

L

Council meets with.

L

I

L

March so by then, because of our meeting on the port or whatever we will have already had the.

E

C

K

C

L

Can say: you're gonna have a little press conference after the council meeting, but I couldn't remember if we about the fourth, the meeting of the fourth. So in other words, you can look public know that all these ladies were selected in whatever you like, and we decided not Connie.

A

Don't be publicly mentioned that council does they'll, have the list, but afterwards we'll just talk.

K

Maybe right Harold, because maybe I will soon.

A

K

Then those are the two dates for them.

C

K

To review the package that it cuts minute on time, that is complete and then, of course, the categories that they were selecting.

B

A

I had a question: I wanted to see. One of the last year's applications and I checked with a via any I mentioned that the applications were left with Kadena I wasn't able to reach cutting them. Today. The.

I

Application, like the one I just handed you a.

K

Previous packet, do you know.

I

Whenever my understanding is those packets were given back to the candidate.

A

Because we specifically say in the application that they will not be returned.

C

A

In the past, they left some harmonic.

K

Factor so you've always returned.

A

Everything no no.

K

But they've gotten the last in transitions from office to office. They have been.

I

C

A

I

Have from what.

A

I know we don't have anything, no reason. Why is because there's human murders just so they could see what a packet looks like and what is on.

H

Deck very packet very and that's gonna- be kinda difficult to narrow it down. If you stick to the specifics of what is needed, that is pretty much what you go by, because some of them did an excellent job at they did originals newspaper clippings and awards, and all that and some of them don't do that. So it would be very difficult to just have one follow the guidelines.

L

I

L

K

Were asking for three? It's it's stated in the application that you don't get it back right in that infinite in the EULA if it gets misplaced lost torn to another words,.

G

Issues not know not to check the minerals.

F

J

That says right.

K

Here and yeah: that's the.

G

Reason why there yeah.

C

K

An application that they're not getting it back because are they kept somewhere they're.

H

A

I

A

K

H

K

In the past butcher, I can honestly say we.

C

B

That I Steven them.

G

K

Comes with us and then she, when she recited that you know it got passed over to one of the lace on it, but then they moved because needs to be at the Met or office, and then they move over here so that transition those boxes. They.

E

C

These are irrigation.

I

K

I

But I think this committee used to be, or this commission used to be other parts at one point in its lifetime and so.

D

You know it's been, it's been in different.

I

Departments and I know that we clean these certain items which read them every.

J

C

In case we do have something to only be the.

I

Last, maybe two years we.

C

Can find something.

I

C

Something I.

I

Want take some photos and a little.

C

Tactic together.

I

Send it to every place.

J

K

Memorize with packages that your vaak have to work with packages that you receive a good.

I

A

A

G

Going to it's a committee, it's going to recommend on March the 4th and then again have a regular meeting on the eleven they're going to recommend and then introduced to council. That evening know.

F

K

A

One way or no way we'll get back, but you know a certain point what we might want to Jews all right now talk to Rafael about it is put on there that the date of the event is the 31st. Well,.

G

And only because what? If somebody's.

A

Out of challenge, yeah.

G

K

I think the reason another reason why we have two things changed, and there were some internal things that changed in this committee and one of the things that that change was council has to approve our Hall of Fame nominees. So that's another reason why we can notify them that they know and.

G

A

So you're very much aware is being recorded.

I

Is a comment when the names will be presented to council, which should be.

C

The 18th would ask you.

I

If committee members are by show support- and so hopefully they'll bring up the item, whatever number it is and that way, if the board members can go, everyone.

E

Can get up and say these are the nominations that were selected by the Commission.

I

We ask that the council consider them, and you know.

A

Okay, so in the meantime, since we have these select, you know options on the brunch buffet and we can customize it. If you don't want look over with it, and you can do this on your own time, I'll bring it back with.

A

B

That's why, like the one the last one, that one is a Frenchman yeah.

A

You did this couple of brunch show.

I

Customize something wherever the Commission one is focused. I hadn't mentioned to him.

H

B

Recommendation, you know I mean like father, like uh maybe.

A

You could you on my tax bill I like.

K

J

K

Straight doctor, yes,.

J

K

I

Is if you're looking at so many candidates the facts, what the costs would be and then kind of work it backwards to see what the cost is for the facts you, they include the I guess of tables.

C

That I have whatever that's.

I

Included great, if not, and that would be a cost or whatever.

A

G

Are you know how many.

A

People make unified, oh yeah, so they can maybe invite three. You.

K

Wouldn't get something right here: what are you gonna react? I'll, be honest with you only had four nominees, so we gave him a whole table table another time we had 60 nominees, so they only got to invite four.

I

And I think that's where the the group has to figure out. Okay: this is the money we have right now, let's try to work within that budget, so we can only do four nominees and the.

I

Number that way on the 18th there, through the people that are going to be selected plus, it will prove a little bit more money if.

C

K

Because once we know, you'll have an idea of how many are going to be selected, and then we can base metals or at that amount with the money. We have to see how much we're going to be short more. This yeah.

A

So another item I'd like to mention, since we have three new members- is that and I'm sure they went over this with you. Did you all get to watch the film of the not.

G

Yet familiar be.

A

Sure when you have time and then the other one is that you have, you can only missed three meetings and, if you're out of town for spring break that that'll be one of the meetings you'll probably encounter, and then if we can't restarts again in December or January. Rather so it's just for the calendar.

G

Yet so it is always on the second Monday.

J

A

There's only one might be in and they will send you the calendar.

G

But you can only be 15 minutes late.

I

The chairperson, it's a really.

H

E

In the chair, if.

I

You know nobody's going to show up or they're coming and they make form. Then you can call the meeting when that you can wait if you'd like no, it's.

G

G

H

Because district clarification, because it had been noted before that it was 15 minutes precisely to the time. And then after that you were late and you would not be counted as being.

I

It's 15 to 20 minutes and the chair may call the meeting to order. There's no form to perform may call so, in other words, it's up to the Chairman. Do they want to call the meeting.

G

Items, what is the purpose of calling interview.

A

I

Somebody's coming in saying, I'm, five minutes away and you're one away. You can wait as chair, I'll, say this area.

A

Cause it's issues on the bridge and she's already crossing so I'm waiting for her. You know I'm.

A

30 minutes.

I

It's better than weigh-in and then once you know, you have.

K

A warm that you call them Eden country they. You know at the time of the meeting and we're already here everybody. That's it yes order here and all of a sudden. You know. Mr. Anders gets two calls that you know myself I'm not coming sorry, something came up, I can't make it if it automatically, even all of you all, are coming in automatically you're, not in accordance. So that's our chicken, Carly and canceled it right away. We're.

I

Gonna take role because remember you can only be absent during the calendar year three times if you're.

E

C

January we're supposed to meet us once a month ever yeah, we missed thirty one-year-old a picture.

K

Can you clarify also it's once a month, so twenty twelve minutes a month when there is a special.

J

Whatever you were saying, it's gonna be Tuesday the 15th, because that's Columbus Day, so they're all yeah.

K

I believe they'll be sending you the dates, because we just got all the dates. Everybody got them ahead of time, so you can make sure you have a full year notice notification of knowing when your meetings are and probably.

F

Responded me: what we hear is.

A
