HASN'T INTO MEAT, SO THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY CHALLENGE WE'VE HAD. THIS YEAR IS WAY HAD A GOOD RUN OF VIRTUAL BIERI VISITS AT THE BEGINNING PART OF THE YEAR TOWARDS THE MIDDLE PART OF THE YEAR, AND THOSE STARTED TO PAID OFF A SWELL. WE KIND OF ATTRIBUTE THAT TO ZOOM FATIGUE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING AS WELL. SO IT'S CHALLENGING TO GET IN PERSON MEETINGS, AND IT'S NOW CHALLENGING TO GET. ZOOM MEETINGS AS EVERYTHING.

RESOLUTION APPOINTING MD SEE STANDING COMMITTEES ON THIS. GOING THROUGH COMMITTEES THAT WE HAVE AND THEN. COMMUNICATING WITH CITY ATTORNEY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT. BELIEVE I'M CORRECT ON HIS SET. WE COULD HAVE AN ALTERNATE. SERVE IN SOME CAPACITY AND SO HAS REALLY AND AS IT RELATES TO THAT. I THOUGHT ON THAT WOULD BE ON DOLL. MAKE THE SUGGESTIONS ON THE COMMITTEES IN A MINUTE, BUT I THOUGHT WOULD BE TO HAVE KIMBERLY SERVICE AN ALTERNATE ON ALL OF THE COMMITTEE. SO IN THE EVENT THAT YOU ARE ON A COMMITTEE AND YOU CAN'T MAKE A MEETING. IF YOU COULD REACH OUT TO KIMBERLY TO SEE IF SHE COULD MEET IN YOUR PLACE THAT WOULD GET HER. ENGAGED IN THE SUB COMMITTEE PROCESS. THINK THAT PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE IT. THANK YOU. AND THE OTHER THING IS THAT I TRIED TO DO BASICALLY IS. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE TWO PEOPLE OR HAVE EACH PERSON SERVE ON. TWO COMMITTEES PRETTY MUCH ON THE REAL ESTATE COMMITTEE JUST MOVE SOME THINGS AROUND. I'M PROPOSING.
