MISS BOSKER, IF YOU COULD PLEASE LEAD US IN A DISCUSSION ON THE BOARD AND COMMISSION VACANCY LIST. YES. OBVIOUSLY NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED WITH NOT MANY MEETINGS OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THE WORKS. I RECEIVED SOME COMMUNICATION FROM THE LIAISON FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION WITH A STRONG RECOMMENDATION, SO I'LL I'VE GIVEN THAT INFORMATION OVER TO YOU ALL AND HAPPY TO CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD WHEN YOU'RE READY. AND THEN THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU ALL IS VITAL STREETS OVERSIGHT COMMISSION, THAT THERE IS STILL ONE COMMISSIONER VACANCY ON THAT BODY THAT THERE HAD BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION OF. BUT JUST AS A REMINDER, AND I'M HAPPY TO SEND ALL OF THE PIFS FOR ALL OF THE APPLICANTS WE HAVE ON FILE TO THAT TO YOU ALL LATER TODAY. WONDERFUL. AND THEN, MISS BOSKER, IF YOU CAN REMIND ME, FOR THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION, THERE WAS THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS SERVING PASSED AWAY, CORRECT? YES, THAT IS CORRECT. DO WE EVER FOLLOW UP WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OR ANYONE TO JUST SEND A LETTER OF THANK YOU BY CHANCE? WE HAVE NOT LIKE FROM THE COMMISSION. I'M SURE THAT LIAISON HAS. THEY HAD A LONG RELATIONSHIP AND THAT WAS FELT PRETTY HARD BY THE COMMITTEE, BUT I'M HAPPY TO SEND SOMETHING FROM YOU ALL. I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AND COLLEAGUES, I'D LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT OF. AS WE HAVE FOLKS WHO SERVE THE CITY IN VARIOUS WAYS. AND WE, WE OF COURSE, APPRECIATE THEIR, THEIR TENURE AND THEIR SUPPORT AND HELP FOR THE CITY. AND CERTAINLY IF THEY PASS AWAY DURING THEIR SERVICE, I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO JUST SEND A NOTE. SO IF YOU COULD MISS YOUR COLLEAGUES, ARE YOU ALL IN SUPPORT OF THAT? YEAH, I CONCUR. I THINK THAT'S A LOVELY GESTURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING ON TOP OF THAT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS CONCERNS COLLEAGUES. YES, I HAVE ONE. THANK YOU. SO MISS BOSKER DID HIGHLIGHT THE VITAL STREETS COMMISSION AND I JUST AND I BELIEVE THAT OUR MY OUR COLLEAGUE HERE AGREES THAT I'M NOTICING THERE'S NO FIRST WARD REPRESENTATIVE ON THAT BODY. AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT THING TO DO TO FILL THAT PARTICULAR OPENING. SO I WILL BE VERY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT PIPS ARE ON FILE FOR THAT.
AND OF THE ONES THAT WE REVIEWED FOR THAT WERE ATTACHED TO THIS MEETING, I BELIEVE THERE WAS SOMEONE INTERESTED IN URBAN AGRICULTURE, SO WE SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT A LITTLE CLOSER. WONDERFUL. THAT'S A GREAT NOTE. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER. YES, COMMISSIONER.
SASSY. MR. CHAIR, I CAN FOLLOW UP SINCE THE ONE FOR URBAN AG IS MY COLLEAGUES APPOINTMENT.
I'M HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH COMMISSIONER KNIGHT, IF YOU'D LIKE. YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. GREAT NOTES. YOU ALL. ANYTHING FURTHER? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE WILL ADJOURN THE COMMITTEE ON APPOINTMENTS AT 8:03 A.M. HAVE A GREAT MORNING. THANK
