 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon. It is a Tuesday, December 12, 2023. This is public meeting number four for the screening committee for the executive director search. Because we are holding this meeting virtually in remote collaboration technology. I need to take a roll call to get a quorum. So commissioner Maynard. I'm here, Madam Chair. And Derek Lennon. I'm here, Madam Chair. Heather Hall. I'm here. And Dave Muldrew. I'm here, Madam Chair. Okay. And then. I am noticing that we don't have anyone from A and K. So one of us. Would have to raise their hands to. Take the meeting minutes. And then Jacqueline, I don't know if you can reach out to. Mina and Dave and Annie and see which. Member of A and K will be joining us. I'll reach out right now. Thanks. I'm happy to get in for now. Given. Position on the full commission. Okay. So we can keep going with some of the housekeeping. The second order on the agenda is the review and vote of the minutes from the very first public meeting of the screening committee, November 1, 2022. Has everybody had a chance to look at those. We're doing just the public. Section. Yeah. Okay. And then. I believe that was going to be fun. I think that's the public section. Yeah. Okay. And then I believe that was going to be posted as we started the meeting that. That section. If I could sell a couple of pages. So if anybody has any edits, we can hear those. Otherwise we can get a motion. And a second to move on those minutes. Madam chair. I move that the commission improve the subcommittee. Minutes. Okay. And then we'll move on to the public meeting. Number one November 1st, 2023. Included in the packet subject to. Any necessary corrections for typographical errors or other non-material matters. Second. There. Yes. I seconded. Okay. So. I will take the vote. Commissioner Maynard. Hi. And Derek Lennon. Heather Hall. I. And Dave Muldrew. I. And I am also, yes. So that's five zero. Approval on the minutes. Item number three was the discussion of the posting deadline. Dave, I'll turn this over to you in terms of, I believe the posting still often we were going to decide and. Sort of make public when we think we're going to pull that posting down. Right. I was looking at. I was looking at the 20th as being a date. December 20. Correct. And that's what next Wednesday. Correct. I mean, there's my, my, my thought here. Now the chair is that. Over the, over the holiday. There may not be really any activity. Right. Yeah. That's what I was thinking in the 22nd, but I'm fine with it. I don't know how everyone else feels if everyone. Okay. I'm open for whichever date. So the one question I had for Dave is. Have all of the recruiting firms done their best efforts to date. Right. So far they have good, very good point. I have, I've notified them all. That for them to honor about the 20th. Is when we're going to be winding down. So if we went for the 22nd, that's okay. But they have been all been notified that that's the, that's the timeframe we're talking about. And yes, we have received candidates from all three. So when you say honor about it, we say the 20th. Can you say back to them and just say, by close the business on the 20th, we're going to be. That is correct. That's what I would do. Yes. Okay. I was nervous about giving them a date and having them. And I was like, I don't know. I don't know. It's not important. But I wanted to just make sure I said, if you have folks that qualify, please get them through our process. It's critical. Right. So that gives us eight days. Eight days. Okay. That's fine. So any and Dave, I see. We don't need to vote on that. Right. That's just procedure. We've come to a consensus on the 20th. I, I think that's right. That's. Yes. Okay. And then we have items. Four, five and six, which really are executive session matters. I'm just going to go over them. In general, and then we can talk about whether we're going to do a motion to go into executive session. Item four. Is really ministerial. It's going over the meeting minutes from. That first meeting on November 1st, 2023. And then we're going to do a motion to go into executive session. And then we're just getting into detail further discussion and scheduling for the actual first round interviews. For the selected candidates. And then number six is if we have. Continue to review any candidates that we have for ED. Dave, my question for you is, do we have. Any candidates who came in since our last meeting. Well. We may see two heads nodding. Okay. Okay. Okay. A few stragglers. Okay. So we will keep that. Okay. Five. Okay. So I will read. Each one in succession. Item. Five, four, five and six. And then we'll have to move and take a roll call in terms of going into executive session. So moving to item four. The commission anticipates it will meet an indicative session to review minutes from the November 1st, 2023 executive session. As a discussion at an open meeting may frustrate the intended purpose for which the executive session was convened in accordance with general law chapter 30 a section 21 a eight to obtain qualified applicants for the position of executive director. The public session of the commission meeting will not reconvene at the conclusion of the executive session. So I have a motion. Madam chair, I move that this group moves into executive session for the reason stated and supplied in the packet. I have a motion. Okay. So do enroll call commissioner Maynard. Derek Lennon. Heather Hall. Hi. And Dave Mildrew. Hi. And I am. So five zero. For item five. The committee anticipates it may meet an executive session in conjunction with the initial screening process to consider the meeting. And the meeting will have a detrimental effect on obtaining qualified applicants for the position. Committee anticipates the open session of the meeting will not reconvene at the conclusion of this executive session. Do I have a motion. I move that we move into executive session for the reason stated and put in the public packet. Second. Second. Commissioner Maynard. Hi. And Derek Lennon. Heather Hall. Hi. Dave Mildrew. Hi. I'm also I so five zero. It's to item five. And then item six. I have a motion. I move that we move into executive session for the reason stated and put in the public packet. I move that we move into executive session for the reason stated and put in the public packet. And then item six. The committee anticipates that it may meet an executive session in conjunction with the initial screening process to consider specific applicants for executive director in accordance with general law 30 a subsection 21 a eight. If the chair declares and I do that an open meeting will end will have a detrimental effect on obtaining qualified applicants for the position. The committee anticipates the open session. The meeting will not reconvene at the conclusion of the executive session. Do I have a motion. I move that we move into executive session for the reason stated by the chair. And provided in the public packet. Second. And commissioner Maynard. Hi. Derek Lennon. Hi. Heather Hall. Hi. And Dave Mildrew. Hi. And I vote yes. That's five zero. Number seven is other business reserve for anything that reasonable. I move that the committee move into executive session for the meeting. I think this is probably the last time we may be seeing. Heather Hall here as part of this committee. So just to say that publicly so people know going forward. Thank you for your. Assistance in the process. And we'll keep you around until the last possible moment when you leave. Thank you. Chair. So unless anybody else has anything. Under seven to bring up that wasn't reasonably anticipated at the time of the posting. I think this is probably the last time we may be seeing. Heather Hall here as part of this committee. And then we will see what we can do to. To get back to you. To make sure that this is a meeting that. I just wanted to start off that wasn't reasonably anticipated. I think. We will. Close out the public portion of the meeting and go into executive session. Reminding again, we are not returning to the public session today. And madam chair, if we could open up that executive session link because I am home and I didn't want to spread. Everyone. Absolutely. Okay. Thank you.
