because our videographer um you know is not here but the meeting is being recorded and it will be on YouTube the okay the recording okay just so we're okay that was a good point thank you um Communications no chairman none uh resolutions the Redevelopment study DMR um in our Workshop uh everyone was here that uh was on the roll call so we I don't think we have to reiterate uh everything that we just said but we would and should talk about our special meeting okay so Kevin why don't you just give a brief and the special meeting sure you look like Perry Mason over there remember used to get up over in oh yeah next time I wear the tie okay I did say brief okay short summary is that uh last month uh you authorized me to conduct a study for the Redevelopment area which is for of Mer property uh between uh your board officers the chair Vice chair and I we discovered a way to save approximately six weeks of that effort by utilizing a study that had been done by another planner that had been hired by Council um unbeknownst to us so we corrected that and we're suggesting correcting that by hiring them this evening to conduct the study which I will help them revise to make sure that it is correct uh although they will present it I will also present a summary as I always do for the board so you know my language language as to what's going on and where we're going so in front of the evening is the resolution gmr uh as the planner to do the study the resolution you passed last month still stands so I still can assist them and work with you on it and to make sure that this happens quickly uh we are suggesting a special meeting on Monday April the 29th at 700 p.m. here in the chambers uh which we will hear the EMR present the study and we can adopt it deny it change it whatever the board's pleasure may be at that time and as I say that will shave about six weeks off this entire process so the B proceed they have various policy issues they we to deal with today board is up to date with since our last meeting and uh this accomplishes most chairman are there any questions um I don't think there's any questions and I'm wondering right now if Mr uh Rego could help us do we take a vote on a special meeting for the 29th uh to get this expedited I believe we should uh I think I I would check my recommendation would be to check on who's available who's not available and then just uh we to a Voice vote as to whether we propose to meet on the 29th so we have two two meetings right there's no two what two vot we have two votes author to conduct study we we should do that now okay and then authoriz okay is there a motion to authorize the EMR to do the study motion made by somebody give me a hand Mr dandoo seconded by Mr scary roll call um Mr berera yes Mr David yes Mr kenti yes P yes Mr maio yes Mr yes Mr scary yes Mr D yes Mr DeLuca yes Mr dun yes and Mr yes okay to piggyback this um I don't know if that's a good word to use but uh what we would need to do is we would like to have a special meeting on April 29th and I believe that's a Monday Monday night at 6 do we 7 o'clock at 7 o'clock so we could finalize this uh resolution uh to go forward stud to review the study to review the study okay is there a motion to do that yeah just the point that Mr L just made me aware that he and I as most of you know I think both sit on the board of education and he just reminded me that we have our 2024 2025 budget here in the exact same night so okay we would have to decide which meeting which meetings we okay are going I think what time is it our budget hearing is at 7 can we make ours at 6:30 we're in and out we've already noticed Yik um as did the board of of course so with respect if we could take uh um hands to see who can be here for quarum 1 2 3 4 5 six we have quarum would you be opposed to us continuing the meeting Mr chair I would I mean we both serve on the finance committee of the Board of Education I think it's probably important that

and the AIDS and we have the budget hearings going on all at once I have no need time so not bad I did put my resume in I'm looking for [Applause] work who did the quum already it was well everybody
