 Okay. Thank you. This is a convening of the master's of game mission for our Gen 7 meeting. We're holding this meeting virtually, so we'll do our roll call. Good morning, Commissioner O'Brien. Good morning. I'm here. And Commissioner Hill. Good morning. I'm here. Good night. I understand Commissioner Hill may have cider donuts coming to the office. So let's cross our fingers. Commissioner get her. Where'd she go? We had her, didn't we? That's curious. Must be connectivity issues. She was on but it looks like she she logged off and may be coming back in. She might have been having audio issues. Right. Okay. Thank you. Um Commissioner Maynard, you are right next door to me. I am here but sympathize with the with the connectivity issues. Yeah. Well, we can wait till she joins us. I'm back. Sorry. Hello. So you're here. We'll get started and you know, you have no problem with technical issues. We're going to get started with our public meeting number 156 on today, November 8th. So Wednesday, this meeting will be followed by a single item public meeting right after this concludes. And we're going to turn now to item number two, our minutes. Good morning, Commissioner Maynard. Good morning, Madam Chair. Um I move that the commission approve the minutes from the October 11th, 2023 and October 25th, 2023 agenda-setting meeting that are included in the commissioner's packet subject to any necessary corrections for topographical errors or other non-material matters. Second. Any questions or concerns? Okay. Um we can move both at the same both are both are the same kind, right? Okay, thank you. Commissioner O'Brien? Aye. Commissioner Hill? Aye. Commissioner Skinner? Aye. Commissioner Maynard? Aye. And I thought yes. Thanks. Excellent job and again thank you for um the roll over from last last um agenda-setting meeting that was is my error by moving them off. So we're all caught up. Congratulations to um the legal department and nice nice work. I think that you're working primarily with Ying, right? I'm sure. Ying, Ying and Judy do um really really excellent work on the minutes and we appreciate it. Yes we do. Thank you, Ying. Okay um turning to our um agenda planning now um on page one you'll see the meeting schedule. The next meeting will have dates going into the new year. So if you want commissioners to mark in the January calendar, February calendar, any particular dates that you know you wouldn't be available. Assume kind of the Wednesday, Thursday cadence. That would be helpful and then we'll just expand the calendar you know so everybody can do some planning. Um you'll know on the um meeting schedule we do now have those two category three sports wagering reports dates that um crystals arranged for on the 27th and on December 7th. Okay so then turn to and then uh yesterday we did have our a Monday we had our Judicatory hearing and a reminder that on November 16th our next public meeting that will be followed by a Judicatory hearing. Okay but then BDH real to be so looking at November 16th Todd and I think we've noted one administrative update that you would ask for last um the November 2nd meeting and kindly rolled it over to the November 16th because we had a pretty busy uh day in Springfield so thank you. Yes of course it'd be great to keep that on the we'll be asking our CIO Katrina and Kevin Gavro to join us on that day to talk about our information security protocols that have been prepared and put into place and we just want to make sure the commission is surprised of those and that's what we'll be planning to talk about then. Excellent and I think you'll have even a memorandum uh is there anything else um that you'll meet for an administrative update Todd at this time? Uh at this point that's that's all for now. Okay. Katrina for that um with respect to minutes Commissioner Maynard. We will have minutes um give me one second February 28th March 1st and March 2nd. Okay thank you um I think probably the administrative update I'm keeping track of the time um uh today really carefully for November 16th because we have an um there's an interest in the timing with one of our outside participants so probably that would go half an hour you think Todd on Katrina's presentation or less? Uh probably a little bit less I would imagine. Okay. All right um then we have a legislative update option. I've got either. I'd like to keep it on please. Okay good um but we don't necessarily have anything in place right? Correct. Okay um they're going to be looking at a couple regulations at least based on our earlier conversations Todd we have both um 152 the court ordered exclusions Mark and Ying would be ready for that November 16th now. Yes I think we're ready to go on that one. Okay how do you're all set? Thanks chair we're going to meet on it today so we should have it ready for the 16th but we do need to meet on it. Okay all right um and then we have and that will probably go I'm going to presume you're going to be all set that would go how long you think um I mean Ying chime in here but I would think that maybe in 15 minutes to present present it and then any discussion afterwards. Yeah that's right. Okay all right and then the racing regulations. Yes those should be ready to come back um on the 16th and they've been out for comment right? Yes they've been out for an informal comment period we have received one comment that we're evaluating and that will be included in the packet. Okay excellent and so that's at that's to for vote right? Yes there have the first meeting was just a presentation of the reg we did not request a vote and this will be for a vote. Okay and the same with court ordered. Okay exclusions okay um they are with me for a second um what's wagering? We do have one one additional item Madam Chair which is a request from draft Kings to uh void a wager and then of course the data privacy section as well. Right and you'll see I noted that there's a possibility that that conversation may include um discussion appropriate for an executive session. Todd and Ting can you just check in with Caitlin and Bruce on that please because we would need the language for that want to make sure that you would find it appropriate for an executive session that's with respect to the the the waivers okay um Crystal you'll work with legal on that that'd be great um and then the draft Kings edition yes thank you Andrew for sending that over appreciate it okay those will be if we had to predict kind of that I think the uh uh draft Kings saying should be maybe 20 20 minutes at best and I would have to really take a wild guess on the data privacy waiver requests maybe 40 minutes maybe I think the draftings shouldn't be more than 15 20 yeah okay um and uh legal's working closely with sports wagering on the waivers right so yes we've had meetings already and we're meeting again today thanks so much okay so I've got like an hour on that maturity you're nodding your head okay yeah all right um then IED and legal have been working um I believe the sports wagering as well of course on um procedures to complement um the existing regulation and statute on um on non wagering not sports wagering non compliance so Heather Todd we have been Sharon I think this is still on track for for next week on the 16th you're saying 16 right yes yes I'm hearing 15 so thanks okay um good I'll set then Todd yes I agree we should be ready to go hi Dave Maldrew hello how are you Madam Chair good morning everyone I'm having some technical difficulties well but it's nice to see two people together like that that's a good thing okay um I don't know how long that will go Todd and Heather I probably 40 minutes is that okay ready to 40 yeah all right thank you sorry Caitlin it's all good Raymond I'll put your name in there okay um item number seven we've got quarterly reports yep they should be all set I've been in contact with our licensees and they've said they should be good to go okay I think those are usually about 20 minutes each so 40 45 minutes I would say for the two all right um then we have the guidelines so yes the final guidelines will be in your hands by the end of the day tomorrow with the final grant amounts um so we will be looking for a vote on the final guidelines and the final grant amounts and with any luck that should just take 11 seconds 11 11.7 seconds um so I'll it'd be really helpful if you send me and Trudy any language that you think will be helpful for me agenda and who will be participating both internally and outside stakeholders and if you could send that sooner than later that's always helpful because yep okay um so that applies to everyone because otherwise I'll just be shooting the email myself so thank you um then we have um we're anticipating the executive session uh commissioners to have our update from MGM on public safety um response and Heather I know you're all set but I do know that they're looking for an idea about our timing uh the only other item right now and I want to hear if we have other items during November 16th the update on the tribal legal litigation situation Caitlin I'm sorry I meant to go back to your email when you would be ready for that and does it make sense to roll that over later this month um 30th I think we could do it on the 30th that would be better yeah yeah better than the 16th for sure yes okay if you're not ready then you'll just let me know but you know I think we saw in the news that there's been some resolution on that so consistent with what Caitlin's done in the past she'll update us on that um thank you for that Caitlin of course all right okay so any what I'll probably do is is make sure to have the um PowerPoint follow right before the um I guess no MGM isn't presenting anyway so doesn't matter so this MGM will just be there for the um the public safety anything else for November 16th Madam Chair we did have house rule updates submitted by one of our operators but if it makes more sense to be pushed to the 30th for time we can do that maybe it's not pressing if it's pressing we'll add it in what do you think Andrew it's up to you how do you want to be helpful we we haven't even had time to review them yet so I don't know if we can even get them reviewed and in on the 16th okay let's play it for the 30th if it turns out that there there's a need for something earlier you know you'll get back in touch all right um and which um operator uh it's the end tool all right um so Trudy yeah do add up that by chance uh I haven't added an update everyone second yeah I think that that's probably can unless there's something else for the 16th can I miss anybody Cristal Boscheman or Cristal Howard if you couldn't tell I'm calling Bruce um having a discussion like in the middle of our meeting guys um uh anything else for November 16th three four hours one two three four I'm like that like three four and a half or something is that right when you would you come up with about four and a half oh four and a half four and a half five yeah should I miss an hour let's see wishful thinking one twenty two twenty oh yeah then three then yeah four yeah four and a half well four hours before the public safety so does that help Heather if we sort of think of yeah what time are you thinking that the public safety piece would start I think I have conveyed that it would be the last item so I think we're on track for that well I'm just saying it will be the last item certainly but I'm just trying to give a time and we're going to have a 10 o'clock start on the 16th um commissioners unless you want it earlier start do I hear anything because it would be can't I have no problem going a little earlier if the commission would want to do that because with a lunch break that kind of puts us at almost three o'clock before what two thirty with two thirty without a lunch break I could do nine thirty second I could do a nine thirty start Thursdays are tough for me to go much earlier than that not nine thirty that might be commissioner skinner were you chiming in I was just gonna say I can also do earlier um I'm not asking for it but if necessary if I can be flexible for sure nine thirty sounds good sort of in between right gives um both ends a little bit of really we'll do a nine start on the 16th does that work for the team is that okay con nine thirty okay for you that should work yes thank you all right so no and so it'll probably be some time like two thirty three other for the public safety I'll give you a more I'll give you a more exact time later yeah I mean I just want to note chair we do have the adjudicatory hearing scheduled for three on we need the half an hour guys we're going long anyway Brad so we need that nine thirty start okay we'll keep it going thanks for the reminder Heather it's gonna be a good long long day all right then we move to November 27th any update on that so yes sorry two different modes going on um so I I will send all of this to Trudy and it may not be essential that we talk about it but I do have the operators assigned at this point they've all been able to do one or the other and pretty it's pretty even so we're good you want to know who they are and what actually that would be great and for the agenda if you could send it to both yes that would be great and so you've got sort of the five five split yes is it fully five five I think it is well it's it's just the eight because the other three include theirs with the quarterly reports already scheduled so it is four four four excellent yep okay thank you um so now we've got November 30th administrative update um maybe the tribal piece sort of falls under that Todd yeah that's that's a great idea I think we can okay anything else uh nothing at the moment okay we'll have me meeting minutes I don't anticipate they have those dates now um commissioner nader we'll keep legislative update on Brad uh very good actually actually I would take I would take it off for that one okay excellent okay regulations we do not have any proposed for the 30th um but obviously would appreciate holding time for rollover if necessary okay so what's wagering we're going to have um those house rules for fandal yeah and nothing else and I'm aware of this point yeah okay great um we do have um a non-compliance matter and that's um we'll be in the public meetings tether on draft kings that's right chair and if we could add enforcement council Zach Mercer to the agenda for that that would be appreciated well yeah if you can just send me whoever's going to participate you know that for agenda setting we often just note one but for anyone else if there's going to be any outside people there just let us know that'll be good but Zach is handling it excellent okay soon we need an executive session reserved for that I think that's the possibility I think it's better to say to reserve it we can connect with legal on that see see if there is anything that if it's an appropriate executive I don't have anything in mind so it may not be an option but that is okay definitely connect with legal on it thank you anything else for november 30th madam chair oh sorry there was competition with you and dr. lightbound um who wants to yield to whom thank you um we are prepared to move the um evh economic impact report from december 14th and november 30th um there's if there's if you feel like there's enough room on november 30th it seems like that would be uh that would be good in december 14th let's a little stacked right now and and just take it off december 14th is that useful yep move it from december 14th okay thank you we're looking forward to that dr andrews okay and back to light it should be really quick but um we i needed to bring back the delegation that i used to have plan which cancel one day of racing it needs to be brought back to the commission to amend the um length of the racing license by one day okay thank you thanks for forwarding language on that so i'll be great um anything else for november 30th we do have another item we'd like to move from under review up to the november 30th meeting which is the evh for plan expansion so the ieb will be presenting on that uh the gaming agent dividend can you um remind us on what what the ieb will be addressing yeah well the ieb under the regulation will examine the request and either you know approve it or not and then we will update the commission as to that decision on the 30th but the commission has to take action and no no there doesn't need to need to be a vote under the reg ieb can do that just like we did with pc thanks couldn't remember that thank you um okay and then december 7th we're all set december 14th we've taken item number eight off we'd have an administrative update so you can be thinking about something um for that that commissioners if you have any desire to hear from a particular division you'll get in touch with talk for that um i'm really pleased we're going to be hearing from katrina's team it's been a while so that's exciting um some minute meetings will reserve how about let's just say about date brad december 14th i would put it on just in case okay regulations will preserve did do we know of any in particular yes we have two that will be coming back for a final vote that is 238 12 point 12 and um 258 so 238 12 is the uniform standards of accounting procedures and internal controls i'll obviously send the language um and then 258 is the sports wagering operator cessation so they'll come back for a final and then we're also hoping to bring 205 cmr 15 which will be a new reg related to procedures for the approval of a simulcast only facility that relates to the recent legislative change um regarding simulcast licenses so we're we're planning to bring those three on the 14th okay first two will be for um a vote and will the first one the third one the simulcast be also for vote right is it emergency i think we'll bring it for a regular vote um we'll well let let me think about it a little bit but we'll see we'll see how we we go but yeah i think we will ask for a vote yeah okay excellent thank you sports wagering we'll keep it on nothing right now okay then we have the admission statement um working group are you going to be all set i think we should be that they still work something yep and we'll have some kind of a memorandum or something and it can you can do that right you can give it yeah because it's done a group excellent thanks and then the same folks only with um i put a g in there for dave malju that's a typo um sorry about that dave uh for the internship program i don't know jordan what do you think and dave i tripped you send out this really great summary of our first meeting uh but we haven't circled back to meet yet again so we can leave it on for now and then after we meet again see whether we need any more time yep but you want to keep it on for the 14th though okay yeah for now we can okay we can at least do an update yeah mills you're in agreement i know you've been involved in this too okay good all right um it's been a good group um oh it actually mills was more involved in the whole group uh submission statement all right um anything else for the 14th pre-holidays well there you are dr. leibhahn thank you happy oh okay um i got the approval of the simulcast locations for the three tracks um the account wagering providers and the um premium free periods for the three tracks and i'll send that language to you as well thanks and that's for the 14th there's three items chair i have another one when you're ready you know i was reflecting on the number of the bb the hh and of course we have ll and then captain kramer too kk the other day i was like oh unusual what have we got heather i think we had said that we're going to bring uh back to espn and matter on the 14th that could be wrong and for um first we are expecting to have the production maybe early that week if not earlier by the 11th i think and then we have the chance to review it um commissioners you're all set with that yep okay anything else for just under 14th i think it was a good move mark to put and and bonnie to shift it from the 14th to the the 30th anything else okay so under review we've got some things that have shipped it off but right now i'm assuming i have a compliance committee and hca and 90 day audit i'll stay on first four am i anybody that's correct okay bruce 90 day audit you're not quite ready and then uh commissioner skinner your working with the joe so we're all good um economic impact reports we're keeping it on because there's a few of them correct bonnie yes actually one of the um economic impact reports is now going to be presented on the 30th um so the name of this should actually be changed to um casino job quality report um that's the remaining one and that should remain under review okay casino job quality quality report bonnie thank you so we're it was just there were two not yes okay for some reason i thought there were three all right thank you um the bet restriction still still on hold okay when you're working with legal on that i presume yes and the diversity audit commissioner skinner please keep that under review okay um and we have our little working group at some point we should probably get this in front of the commission um brad what are you thinking about the timing for um our house quote unquote housekeeping uh letter to the legislature for ideas on changes that would make us more efficient and keep us in our mission should we do it by december 14th you think it would be the best in terms of timing for the legislature before year end brad maybe he came brad i don't know if you can hear me or okay we'll keep it on under review right um and then hopefully knows and cod you could maybe have it for december 14th we'll shoot for that but um i won't change it from under review until our next um our next uh commissioner oh brad's here right oh yeah he's is here brad come here i thought i heard in elevator we're about to end anyway come on in no we're just wondering i want first steps at the donuts um so um we were just wondering that maybe we try to shoot for december 14th yes should we put it on yes all right that'll make us accountable all right we'll be ready um that's not okay cod we'll give it a try good okay all right and i think that we're getting close and then the player risk identification keep that under review mark yes please and then we're taking out the expansion um anything else to add to under review there's dr. like that hey uh we need to bring the annual report for 2022 forward for racing got it thank you actually should probably put our annual report under review too else um do you have a deadline alexa if we put it under review um do you want it a single day is it near to be you need to be your end um i don't think there is a date um you know it's possible we could have it for november 30th but we weren't you know we're not positive and um we definitely think we should be ready for december 14th okay so we'll put i'll make a little mention though that 12 14 is what we're shooting but we'll keep it under review sounds great thank you okay anything else for under review um yes uh madam chair last time we added under review the voluntary self-exclusion reinstatement session that didn't make it over here under my apologies but that's exactly right i think i'm best at it so and then um i don't know if we're building an agenda for the first meeting in january but we will be prepared uh for that date and and for the reinstatement correct okay i'll put that on for our first meeting in january we um just looking at the calendar of jazz we have an agenda setting meeting december 20th and then the first one would be january force for the january fourth meeting okay good thank you for that anything else for under review we do have an item for sports wagering although it would be a bit we're not ready now but there have been um some conversations about the complexities for the quarterly financial reports um slightly different from what you're receiving in your presentations uh regarding confidentiality so we might have to bring that board of commission at some juncture you want me to wait for right now crystal or do you want me to review yeah i mean i think it will have to come forward but i and i don't want to lose sight of it so if we could put it under review i think it'll help us keep keep that item moving right and if you could just shoot um what you're advocating absolutely right anything else for under review um i had something that i wanted to add for under review um there is a spring field area public safety report that's going to be coming out so i wanted to add that as under review okay anything else okay so quarter eleven what are the rules rules we have to wait now to another fifteen right yeah sorry um i was conservative uh but we will have a half hour break but uh we're going to have to conclude this meeting of course and then we'll move into the sports wagering issue at eleven fifteen so commissioners do you have anything else that you want to add or the agenda you got everything i mean you need yeah agenda do we um do we should we put under review the screening committees just to keep we can sure um we don't have any dates here uh so think about that in the next agenda setting if you want to insert any updates yeah so we're meeting again on monday um the ed one is meeting again on monday morning um and then we'll probably have some timing after that so do you mind if i insert those two and yeah under review and then that will just remind us to get some dates on we want to keep um everybody updated um so two screening committees anything from you um commissioner skinner on the iad no not not at this time but and i'm also okay with you adding that to the items under review okay great thanks all right okay i need a motion to adjourn move to adjourn second i love it when there's a competition to get out here okay that was mckisha's all right um no objections commissioner brian hi uh commissioner hill why there he is um uh commissioner skinner hi commissioner maynard hi and i hope that thank you very much everyone for a productive morning five zero
