And
I'm
going

I
don't
think
anybody

agenda.
So
do
I
have
that.
A
Moving
on,
we
are
at
the
adoption

for
the
board
of
commissioners.
A
Do
I
have
a
motion?
Okay,
I
see
commissioners
spisz
and
do
I
have
a
second
commissioner
jackson.
A
A
We
have
21
yeas
zero
nays,
sufficient
majority
having
voted
in
favor.
The
temporary
rules
for
the.
A
Of
a
temporary
chairperson,
so
I
will
need
a
nomination
from
the
floor.
Commissioner

two
more

E
Well,

just
just

E
Madam

you
have
a
quorum.
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
Moving
on
the
next
order
of
business
is
the
pledge.
E
E
Motion
to
approve
the
pandemic
and
response
and
economic
recovery
committee
that
took.
E
Motion
by
commissioner
kochenderfer

E
E
E
E
Supported
by

signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye,
opposed.
E
E
Motion
by
commissioner
gershenson
support
by
commissioner
jackson.
B
Yeah,
just
just
a
point
of
order,
I
did
send
out
a
revised.
B
Packet,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
everyone
got
it
at
603.
I
believe
it
was.
B
The
version
two
because
the
report
for
this
one
there
was
an
amendment
included
in
the
report.
E
Absolutely
now
is
the
talking
okay.
Why
not
thank
you,
so
it's
a
single
amendment.
E
And
you
know
what,
as
commissioner
kochenderfer
is
looking
up
that
information,
I
also
just
wanted.
E
To
say
that
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
chairman
woodward
and
our
chief
of
staff.
B
B
So
on
page
71-
and
I
can
just
read
it
off-
to
make
this
simpler,
thank
you
yeah.
It.
E
B
One,
it
relates
to
the
amount
of
the
grant
approvals
that
need
to
come
to
the
commission.
B
B
No
need
to
no
need
an
amendment
yeah,
it's
incorporated
in
what
you
have
before
you,
okay
in.
B
E
Okay
included
that
commissioner
woodward
yeah
yeah.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
I
think.
D
D
Lowered
the
threshold
for
grant
submissions
to
come
to
committees.
D
E
Okay,
thank
you,
commissioner,
ordered
commissioner
kochenderfer
just
a
question.
Madam.
B
If
you
could
just
move
the
amendment-
and
I
can
put
it
on
screen
if
you'd
like
to
see
it.
B
B
So
it
was
gershenson
and
who
was
supported,
I'm
sorry
by
commissioner
kochenderfer.
Okay,
thank
you.
B
Thousand
and
then
there's
some
language
change
to
clarify
that
the
waiver
is
for
an
emergency.
E
Okay
hearing
none
roll
call,
please,
on
the
amendment
on
the
amendment
commissioners,
jackson.
E
Excellent
hearing,
none
roll
call
please,
on
the
report
as
amended,
commissioner
gershenson.
B
E
Excellent
see,
none
roll
call
please.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
commissioner
jackson.
B
You're
on
me,
commissioner,
jackson,
you're,
muted,
sorry,
point
of
clarification
of
these
appointments.
E
Excellent.
Moving
on
to
the
next
item
number
three:
on
the
regular
agenda.
E
Commissioner
joliat
support
by
commissioner
gershenson.
B
Chair
there
were
two
appointments
that
were
inadvertently
not
added
to
this.
I
could
put.
E
B
Of
andrea
lafontaine
for
reappointment,
you
just
need
to
add
those
two.
With
your
permission.
E
Okay,
excellent
hearing,
none,
let's
roll
call,
please
on
item
number
four
commissioners
gershenson.
B
D
All
right!
Well,
if,
let's
see
andy's
here,
it
looks
like
yeah
no
everyone's
here.
A
I
was
just
watching
cnn,
is
everyone?
Does
everyone
have
their
camera
on.
D
Yep,
okay,
we're
good,
okay,
we're
good
all
right,
so
we
will
come
back
in
the
session.
I
will
ask.
D
The
clerk
to
call
roll
to
establish
quorum.
Yes,
nobody
has
moved
right,
you're,
all
still.
A
In
the
same
places,
so
we
don't
have
to
go
through
that.
Okay,
commissioners,
kowall.
B
D
D
Think
there's
a
few
communications
that
the
the
clerk
has,
and
so,
madam
clerk,
if
you
can
read
all.
D
The
communications
I'll
do
my
best
to
get
through
these
okay.
First
one
dated
december
14,
2020.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Somebody's
background
noise.
I
would
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
so
much
january
6,
2021
to
the
oakland.
A
A
A
To
read
it,
it
will
be
part
of
the
minutes,
but
it's
a
really
long
list,
and
I
know
we
all.
A
Have
other
things
to
do
so
without
objection,
mr
chair,
I
hope
that
is
acceptable
to
the.
D
That's
great,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Can
I
get
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
those
communications.
D
So
the
the
report
for
legislative
affairs
and
operations
committee
that
was
taken
up.
D
I'm
going
to
recognize,
commissioner
nelson,
the
chair
of
legislative
affairs,
not
government.
D
Operations
to
lead
us
through
the
business
that
was
taken
up
in
the
committee
when
we
recess.
E
Agenda
today,
item
number
one
is
the
board
of
commissioners
rules
for
the
oakland
county.
E
Of
the
foregoing
report,
commissioner,
nelson
moves
to
report
is
there
a
second.
B
Commissioner,
kuhn,
yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair
and
again,
I
appreciate
the
taken
and
looking.
B
At
these
rules,
I
think
that's
that
they
are
important
to
review.
B
For
purposes
of
this
motion,
I'd
like
to
move
to
amend
to
add
a
new
section
after.
B
So
I
mean
commissioner
kuhn
is
the
red?
Is
your
amendment
in
the
packet.
B
D
A
second
second
by
commissioner
moss,
any
discussion.
B
All
the
information
prior
to
any
discussion
at
the
committee
level.
This
just
really
requires
that.
B
That
the
that
the
basic
approvals
be
presented
to
the
committee
prior
to
a
discussion
and.
B
If
there's
a
reasonable
reason,
then
the
chair
can
waive
it.
B
D
A
Adopting
the
permanent
rules-
commissioners,
