THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS BASKER COLLEAGUES. YES, COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THANKS. MISS BASKER, MY QUESTION IS ON MOBILE GR ARE THOSE WARD SPECIFIC ORGANIZATION SPECIFIC? THEY ARE NOT. THERE'S THERE'S THE GOAL OF COURSE ALWAYS TO HAVE WARD REPRESENTATION THERE IN THEIR BYLAWS. THEY HAVE GUIDELINES FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THE MEMBERS TO REPRESENT. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE CLEARLY DEFINED. IT'S NOT WHAT DO YOU COULD YOU TELL US WHAT THE CURRENT WARD MAKEUP IS? I KNOW NOT EVERYBODY ON THERE NEEDS TO BE A RESIDENT, BUT OUT OF THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE ON THERE, YES. JUST A MOMENT. AND THEN WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT, THANKS FOR THAT WORK ON THE STAGGERING ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. I THINK THAT'S GOOD. SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE SO MANY AT ONE TIME.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT. I'M GUESSING ON PLANNING THAT THE MAYOR HAS SOME NAMES THAT HE'S INTERESTED AND THEN. COMMUNITY RELATIONS, YOU SAID THAT WAS FOR AS WELL. AND THEY HAVE A SEPARATE NOT A SEPARATE, I SHOULDN'T SAY AN ADDITIONAL PROCESS WHERE THEY LOOK AT INDIVIDUALS AND SO ARE THEY GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS RIGHT NOW? I, I DON'T KNOW, I WOULD GUESS. SO. HOWEVER, WE'RE GETTING TO THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE EVERYBODY'S NOT MEETING AS FREQUENTLY, SO I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THEIR LIAISON KNOWS. IS THERE A NEW LIAISON AT THAT ONE TO MISS? NO, NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. OKAY. THAT'S THE SAME ONE. OKAY. SORRY I ASKED YOU A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS AS YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, SO MY APOLOGIES. ALL RIGHT. SO.
CURRENTLY THERE IS THERE ARE TWO WARD ONE MEMBERS, TWO SEVEN WARD TWO MEMBERS AND ONE WARD THREE MEMBER ON MOBILE GR. OKAY, WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE LEAVING, BUT THERE'S WE COULD USE THERE'S SOME OBVIOUS AREAS WHERE WE COULD USE MORE REPRESENTATION WARD WISE. OKAY.
SO BUT YOU SAID THAT'S THE CURRENT MAKEUP RIGHT NOW OR. YES. OKAY. YEAH. AND THEN DO YOU KNOW WHO'S LEAVING WHERE WE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF. OH THERE'S ALSO THREE OUTSIDE THE CITY MEMBERS. OKAY. TWO OF THE OUTSIDE. THE CITY MEMBERS ARE LEAVING, WHICH IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADD MORE CITY RESIDENTS. OKAY. AND THEN THERE'S A WARD TWO MEMBER. TWO WARD TWO MEMBERS. OKAY.
