WELCOME. TODAY IS A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
MISS BLANKENSHIP. OH, ACTUALLY, WE'LL START WITH A PLEDGE LED BY SUPERVISOR HARMON. PLEASE JOIN ME.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR HARMON MISS BLANKENSHIP, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT FOR R ONE? WE DO. DOLORES LUCERO.
AND THAT IS OUR ONLY SPEAKER. CHAIR.
I'M AMAZED THAT THAT YOU'RE HAVING A SPECIAL MEETING THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR TUESDAY. I HOPE THIS IS NOT REGARDING WHATEVER CLOSED SESSION YOU HAD TUESDAY. IF IT IS, I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT THEN IF THIS IS SOMETHING NEW LITIGATION. I DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD BE AN EMERGENCY.
I JUST HOPE THAT YOU DISCLOSE EVERYTHING, BUT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW, AND I THINK THIS CLOSED SESSION REALLY SUCKS BECAUSE WE CAN'T SEE, WE CAN'T HEAR WHAT YOU DO AND YOU ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE PEOPLE AND NOTHING THAT YOU DO IN BUSINESS SHOULD BE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, PERIOD.
AND I DON'T GET IT THAT AND, AND I MEAN, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE NEW, BUT YOU'RE NOT EVEN ADDRESSING A LOT OF THE CLOSED SESSION, WHY IT SHOULD BE OPEN, YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT IS YOU'RE JUST LIKE THESE OTHER GUYS THAT ARE JUST GOING TO GO ALONG WITH THE FLOW AND KEEP THINGS AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE TO KNOW IT'S OUR BUSINESS TO KNOW WHAT GOES ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
YOU MIGHT NOT THINK SO, BUT WE ARE THE BOSS.
YOU MIGHT ACT AND TAKE OVER, CONTROL THE PEOPLE FROM KNOWING WHAT GOES ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR MANIPULATION AGAINST THE CITIZENS FROM KNOWING WHAT YOU DO AND HOW YOU VOTE.
AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS? IT'S EASY TO HIDE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
SO I'M JUST SAYING IT'S GOT TO STOP.
AND IF YOU'RE. BUT WE KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HIDE AND TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING BEHIND OUR BACK.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS BEHIND THE PEOPLE'S BACK.
AND IT'S FUNNY IF KEVIN, IF YOU WERE TO HIRE SOMEBODY IN YOUR BUSINESS, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LET THEM COME IN AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR BUSINESS BECAUSE YOU'RE THE BOSS. IT'S YOUR BUSINESS.
THIS IS OUR BUSINESS. YOU WORK FOR THE PEOPLE.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOUR OWN BUSINESS TO RUN IT THE WAY YOU HAVE BEEN RUNNING IT DOWN TO THE GROUND. THE COUNT IS GOING DOWN BECAUSE OF YOUR DECISIONS.
BECAUSE YOU AS CHAIR BEING ON THERE TWO YEARS IN A ROW.
IT SUCKS TO HAVE YOU AS CHAIR.
JUST TO CLEAR IT UP. JUST WE HAVE IT ON THE RECORD.
SO PEOPLE, BECAUSE SUPERVISOR PLUMMER DID TELL ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO PUT SOMETHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT JUST MAKING SURE PEOPLE KNEW THAT HE WAS OUT OF TOWN AND THIS IS THE PROCESS. HE UNDERSTANDS THE PROCESS.
BUT WERE YOU ABLE TO EXPLAIN JUST HOW THIS COMES UP? JUST BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IN THE TWO YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE, WE'VE ACTUALLY EVER PUBLICLY EXPLAINED HOW CLOSED SESSIONS ARE CALLED IN TERMS OF AN EMERGENCY MEETING LIKE THIS.
SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. SO SO FIRST OF ALL, I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S IT'S AN IT'S NOT AN EMERGENCY MEETING.
IT'S AN URGENT MATTER, WHICH MEANS YOU WOULD PUT IT ON A SPECIAL MEETING, 24 HOURS OF NOTICE OR MORE.
AND WHEN A QUORUM OF THE BOARD IS AVAILABLE AT THE NEXT POSSIBLE MOMENT, AFTER THE 24 HOUR PERIOD, YOU CAN HOLD A SPECIAL MEETING TO DEAL WITH A MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. PERFECT.
I THINK THAT'S GREAT. ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE BOARD?
[CLOSED SESSION]
GOOD. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, WE ARE AT RECESS.RETURNING FROM CLOSED SESSION.
[REPORT OF CLOSED SESSION]
COUNSEL LARMER. IS THERE ANY REPORTABLE ACTION? MR. CHAIRMAN, ONE ITEM WAS HEARD IN CLOSED SESSION.THERE IS NO REPORTABLE ACTION.
