So these are the brand new Rayban Meta smart glasses and in today's video I'm going to be showcasing the design, the key capabilities of this, the different use cases and also the pros and cons. These were just released at £299 and they have a whole wide variety of versions of their smart glasses. I have the Rayban Wayfarers, you can also get the headliners. They come in multiple different options such as prescription glasses, general sunglasses or the versions that I have here which are general transparent blue light glasses for those people that just want to use this whilst using their screens all day. So let's go ahead and take a look at the design first and let's take a look at some sample footage that I've taken by some photos and videos with these. Let's get into it. Okay so let's start off with the design. They come in this very nice Rayban carry case which is rechargeable via USB-C. This doesn't come with any USB-C cable so you just have to supply your own. You have yourself the indicator LED light so when you open it up you'll see this does light up. You also have a manual pairing button there in case you don't get a opportunity to pair it properly but for the first time I've used this it was very easy simple to do. When I took it out of the case it was in my Bluetooth settings and it was paired very quickly. Let's take a look at the design of these ones. These are very well designed so these are the Wayfarers. I've got them in transparent with blue lights no prescriptions. You can see there's two lenses just on the left and the right. The one on the right hand side when you put this on is only for the LED indicator to showcase when you're taking pictures and recording videos. The actual camera itself is on the left hand side there and it is a 12 megapixel ultra wide lens. If you look inside the handles you'll find the little power switch on the left handle just there. You can see it's currently off you just toggle that this way and it will turn on and on the right handle you can see there's a little button just on the top there. This will allow you to take pictures and record videos. A single press will take a picture a long press will record video and you can make adjustments of what they do via the Meta app. Then you also have open air speakers just towards the end of each handle there that will fire your audio directly towards your ears and there is quite good noise leak cancellation on that as well and I'll be showcasing that as a test and a little microphone so if you do take phone calls then it's pretty clear audio when you are speaking whilst wearing these glasses. So overall these are a pretty good design. Now let me go ahead and turn this on and showcase what it looks like when you pair it with the Meta app. Of course you can pair it in the Bluetooth settings but if you download the Meta View app you will see there it has automatically paired and it shows you the battery percentage there. On the main home page tab here you can see it just shows you different options for you to just learn and explore how to use the Meta glasses. In the middle tab these are all of your videos and pictures you've taken using the glasses that you can import. When you do import them it does require you to join the Wi-Fi of the glasses, wait for it to fully import and it will be saved to your phone's gallery then it will disconnect automatically. When you go into settings you have plenty of other options here so let's just take a quick look at that. So you can see wayfarers, glasses and privacy. You can take a look at some of the different gestures, notification, LED brightness, sounds and then you have other options to unpair and reset the glasses if you need to. This also includes Meta's own voice assistant which I think is great. You have to basically start off by saying hey Meta and it will do various different commands. Some sample ones you can say hey Meta take your picture or record a video you can ask for what the weather is today you can ask it to share a photo with someone from your whatsapp contacts list so plenty of different options. This is very much tailored to instagram and facebook live streaming so you can do various commands using those apps as well and in most cases where you do want something to happen with an app on your phone you'll have to complete the action on your phone and not directly from the glasses. So various other privacy options just there at the bottom. When you go to camera you can set here what you want to do with the capture button so I've just set it to press once and take photos or you can swap it the other way around and you can press once to record videos instead of photos. Video length the maximum you can record using these glasses is 60 seconds if you do use this for live streaming via instagram or facebook then of course you can live stream longer and those videos will be then downloaded to your phone that's the only alternative way to get videos longer than 60 seconds but if you just want to use these independently without using instagram or facebook then just remember they are limited to 60 second clips at a time. You can set this up with your phone, whatsapp and facebook messenger for making calls. Under music you can actually enable Spotify tap you can do auto pause as well when you remove your glasses which I think is useful and I have selected this to be on and then various other settings that you would expect from a smart piece of tech like this. So let's go ahead and just show you quickly how this works so you take a photo you will see the LED light just flash there there you go and then if you hold this down you'll hear a beep and now it started video recording you can hold the glasses and it will record the video so if you want to face yourself rather than seeing your own point of view then you can do that by just holding this out in front of you and recording yourself or you can put it back on your face and just record what you're seeing for your audience as soon as you just tap once it will stop the video recording if 60 seconds go by then it will automatically stop the recording there is no setting for you to hide that LED light and of course that's mainly for privacy purposes so people know that you are recording there's no option and I probably wouldn't recommend trying to hide that light if you wanted to record videos even if you try and put something over this maybe you put a little black tape or you just put your finger over it to block the light this is clever enough to actually stop the recording so there's no way for you to actually try to record videos without other people knowing by hiding that light so just keep that in mind. Now these are also very comfortable to wear and of course Rayban they are a very large company specializing in glasses when you do put it on you get like a confirmation beep if it is powered on that it's now ready to use so I've just heard a beep there also is a very light LED indicator just on the inside of the frame so I know when I'm recording a video or when I'm using voice commands of course you might not be able to hear a lot of the audio that's coming directly from the glasses into my ears but what I do want to do is before I run into the audio tests and see how the noise leak is it's just to quickly run through some of the key specifications so these are IPX4 water resistant so if you do wear this in maybe light rainy weather then it should absolutely still work fine in terms of the battery life this does last around four hours on a single full charge of the smart glasses which I actually think is a very good amount of time but paired with the charging case you can get up to 36 hours of charge without having the need to charge this entire set together now speaking of the camera lens like I mentioned earlier this is a 12 megapixel ultra wide lens I would have liked the option to change it between ultra wide and wide but of course you would need more lenses to have that capability I think having glasses like this and you want to get a wider point of view of whatever you're filming and taking pictures of ultra wide was the right strategy to go through but with all of your photos and videos that you're taking with these smart glasses this has a 32 gigabyte internal storage which is very easy to transfer via the meta view app and on the topic of recording this does max out at 1080p 60 frames per second and like I mentioned before the video clips are restricted to 60 seconds if you do use this as a standalone independent video recorder but if you do live stream then you can also record you know all the way up to 30 minutes and then you can download your live stream recording and have it work in that way but if you're the type of person that wants to buy this without the need of live streaming then just remember that you can't record more than 60 seconds at a time I will then tend to use this for recording b-roll footage for getting different shots of my products and I think that's quite a good use case for me because 60 seconds is enough for getting each clip that I need to this also has five built-in mics that provide spatial audio which I think is great because you have the mics not just on the handles but on the nose part here and in terms of audio we're going to be testing the noise leak because this actually from the first gen meta glasses has 50% less noise leak so why don't we go ahead and start off with testing playing a song from Spotify connected via my smart glasses my microphone is just here on the side and hopefully I'll try to get as much noise leak as possible for you to hear it but I will start off with 50 volume and work my way up to 100% to see how much you can actually hear but just remember how you're listening to this it might be slightly different to how other people will hear things when they are in person around me but let's just go ahead and see what you guys think of that okay so I'm about to play a song from Spotify 50 volume the speakers will be firing it directly towards my ears rather than towards this microphone but let's go ahead and see if you guys can actually hear anything it's about 50 volume now it's very clear to me you may be struggling to hear anything I've tested this by getting someone else in my family to wear these glasses at 50 volume I couldn't hear anything and I also tested this with a phone call and I couldn't hear the other person on the end of the line when someone was speaking via the glasses which I think is a very important factor when you do have open air tech like this so let's go ahead and put it up to 100 percent now you're probably hearing it a lot more so just going to pause it there and of course with any open air tech like this there is going to be noise leak there's never going to be a situation where it's a zero percent noise leak but if you keep it relatively low where you can still hear everything clearly then you can be pretty confident that people around you might not be able to hear everything you're listening to or if there's anyone that you're speaking to so now that we've tested the noise leak and I'm pretty impressed with that let's go ahead and test out the photos and videos so I've been going out past couple of days taking a few clips not exceeding the 60 second limit using the smart glasses and it's very convenient and quick to do if I don't want to use the capture button there I can also do voice assistant and ask it to record a video but also one thing I also want to mention is that the right handle here is a slider that you can swipe to turn the volume up and down which I think is very convenient and you can also tap here to play and pause your music and the touch capacitive on this is very responsive and it's probably the best that I've seen in any other smart glasses that I've tried this and I have reviewed a couple of other smart glasses from different brands before none of them have worked as well as this so let's go ahead and take a look at some sample clips but before I do that let me show you how quick it starts recording by just using a voice command and you'll see that with the light turning on just there hey meta record a video now you can see the light is on the video is recording the 60 second clock has now started and of course I'm going to showcase how the audio quality is from a recording by using these glasses so right now you're hearing everything from my shotgun mic let's go ahead and switch over now the audio that you're hearing I've edited it so that it comes directly from my meta smart glasses and it is pretty clear to be honest if you are going to be live streaming in your own studio inside your house wherever it may be then you can be confident that your audience are going to hear everything clearly you don't need to worry about that you don't have to worry about trying to connect any external wireless microphones to yourself connected to these glasses in any way so I think this does a very decent job it's obviously not the greatest because it is just you know smart glasses is not high tech audio equipment but it does the job and when you're ready to stop recording one tap of the button and it stops recording but now that I've just shown you a sample audio clip and a video clip from these glasses let's go ahead and show you a whole bunch that I've taken okay so in this first video clip I'm just walking through the train station in terms of stabilization I actually think it's pretty okay of course as you are wearing something on your head it will naturally shake a little bit as you walk in but as I'm going down these steps the stabilization is actually pretty good so it didn't really shake too much where I wouldn't be able to share it online but I think for smart glasses that is very good decent stabilization now you can use this for many different purposes if you wanted to live stream maybe you doing some shopping here's just a sample clip of me browsing around at the store at the supermarket seeing different things that I want to buy if that's something that you want to showcase then this is also a very great option and you can see the colors are very vibrant the video is very clear you can read all of the pricing the labels the branding I think this is just great just to have yourself walking around to different places like this and in this clip as I'm just walking through the station I'm just gonna go quiet so you can hear some of the natural sounds that are coming from the background using the internal mics one other use case I think this is good is if you want to do any driving videos you're showcasing things in a brand new car for example this is really great to wear on your head and showcase like this and you do see a lot of your cabin this is kind of like having a dash cam on your face you can really see everything on the roads clearly as well as everything on the interior of your car so when I do a lot of my car reviews then I think I'm going to be wearing this because it just makes it so much more convenient to showcase different things when I do set it up with my car but if you just want to wear it and you're driving in maybe a very busy area or you're seeing something that you'd like to showcase on your road trips then you can just quickly turn on the recording and just use it in your car like this one other thing that I think is going to be very popular with these types of smart glasses is fitness videos so there's a lot of fitness influencers online and people record their videos by setting up their phones on tripods but having a pov point of view like this you can also get some pretty cool shots with all of your workouts and routines that you can share to instagram and to facebook or even if you wanted to livestream your workouts then wearing these glasses is going to be a very convenient way to do that and just on the topic of fitness if you do want to go down the cardio route where you have a lot of fast paced movements then you can see it can be quite shaky and is not too stable because your whole body is moving alongside the glasses as well so it might not be the easiest to showcase and you can see in some situations it does cause a little bit of blurring in the actual video so if you wanted to do it using cardio machines then this is kind of like an example that I just wanted to showcase how it may come out and speaking of blurriness with fast paced movements this is a sample clip of me just running through the park and you can see it's probably not so great it does cause a lot of shakiness and it's not very clear in terms of the background but overall stability is quite good but I wouldn't really use this for running videos so I'm just going for a walk in the park so this is how the audio is outdoors it's pretty quiet there's no cars on the road next to me it's pretty peaceful and the audio is actually not too bad for smart glasses so I'm pretty impressed from that front so you can hear a lot of the natural noises in the background so hopefully you found this audio test useful so that's it guys those are the Rayban Meta glasses let me know down in the comments below what you think of this is it worth £299 or $299 will you be getting these what are you going to be using it for I would say some of the cons I've talked about a lot of the positive sides and this is a very well made piece of tech I would say if there's an option in the future to obviously upscale to 4k I think the option to just replace the light on the front with the light on the inside rather than having it on both whilst you're recording would also be quite good and it would be liked by a lot of users I would presume I think that would be an option to have but also using this in very low lighting conditions the quality is not great if you're going to do any type of shooting maybe at night or your indoors where it's very dark then it's not going to come out very clear and of course that has a lot to do with the resolution and the quality of the lens but there's only so much tech you can pack in such a tiny amount of space in a set of glasses like these obviously this is like the second generation and as meta start producing more and more third gen fourth gen we'll see improvements in that area but I would definitely recommend you need to be in a very well lit bright area for the quality of the videos to be decent enough to share on your social media and lastly I would say enabling the option for having clips longer than 60 seconds that would be I would say you know pretty much a game changer because you do have 32 gigabytes of storage and not everyone live streams on Facebook and Instagram maybe you just want to use this as a video recorder for supplementing your actual footage from your camera so if that does happen then I would say these are the perfect set of smart glasses that I've seen who knows in the future that may come very soon I'm excited to see what happens in this space if you did find this review useful make sure to like this video make sure to subscribe I've got plenty of new tech videos coming out all the time and I will catch you all at the next one take care


Some senators have staged a walkout on the Senate president, Ahmed Lawan, after he allegedly refused the minority leader, Senator Philip Adouda, to allow them to lead the motion on the impeachment of the president, Mohammad Abu Hari Adouda, and some other senators of the People's Democratic Party staged the walkout from the Senate chambers afterwards. It was learned that some lawmakers, who were displeased with a worsening security situation in the country, have threatened to impeach the president. Out of the commencement of plenary on Tuesday, the lawmakers had questioned the Senate president on why the issue of insecurity was not on the order paper. To discuss issues as they relate to security in this country, especially the happenings in Abuja and the happenings all over the country, and we agreed that the primary responsibility of government is the protection of lives and property of citizens. And for us, the minority caucus in the Senate, we also took into cognizance the fact that the Senate had at various levels, at various times, convinced various security meetings, various security issues were discussed, and we did recommend to government various steps and measures aimed at covering these issues of insecurity. We realized that even Abuja that we are in no longer is no more safe, and all of you will agree with us. And so, at the close session, we agreed that we will give the president an ultimatum that selling which, if it is not complied with, will move immediately to give an impeachment notice. And this, we agreed at the executive session, at closed-door session. So when we came out of the closed-door session, we expected that the Senate president will brief the public on the issues that have happened, but, however, that did not happen. So we have come here in protest to brief you and to let you know that we are with Nigerians in this struggle and that we are worried that nowhere and nowhere is safe in Nigeria. And as such, we have come out of the, we walk out of the chambers in protest that the security situation in Nigeria is deteriorating and urgent steps needs to be completely taken to ensure that these issues are covered immediately. These are the issues that were discussed, and these are the reasons why we left the Senate preliminary in protest. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.

Seeing that we have a quorum and attendance I'm calling this November 12th meeting of the town service and outreach committee to order at. 501. Governor Baker's March 12 2020 order suspending certain provisions of the open meeting law allows us to hold this virtual meeting of the town services and outreach committee. Now I'm going to call all the committee members by name to confirm you can hear me and we can hear you. Alyssa Brewer present Darcy do not present Dorothy Pam present Evan Ross present George Ryan here. Okay. Those assisting the meeting will be monitoring committee members connections and if necessary will pause the meeting until you reconnected. Okay. Art, if you would like to give public comment. Raise your hand does not look like he wants to give public comment. So we just have one piece of business today, which is town manager appointment. One additional person to the community safety working group. So Paul would you like to introduce that. Sure. So there's one more name that we're adding. I'm moving forward to the town council at this point in time. That's for Russ Vernon Jones. Mr Vernon Jones has been served as principal at the Fort River School for a number of years has been a leader in racial justice conversations and work throughout the community. And has among a number of other things he's well known in the community, the interview team interviewed him and felt he would be a strong addition to the existing working group. Questions anyone. I think probably quite a few of us are familiar with Russ Vernon Jones and his work in town on racial equity and so on. So, I see. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not even looking. Dorothy. Well, I applaud his credentials. And my question is to Mr Backelman. Are there more committee members proposed proposed committee members coming our way or is this yet. At this time, this is it. Yeah. Good. Thank you. Yeah, so one of my questions I think I think similar to Dorothy's which was, are we going to be having meetings to consider one additional candidate each time we add because I believe we have two more seats to fill and I'm hoping that we don't have another meeting with just one candidate. I guess my second question, which I'm not quite sure how to ask. So this is a unique committee because it has a racial diversity requirement. At least six of the members have to be BIPOC. In your previous memo, you stated how the candidates had self identified racially on their community activity forms. You did not do this. And for this one, I know Russ and so I can make an assumption about his race. But I guess I was curious in the last memo one person chose not to self identify and so I guess I'm curious when we, this is a more complicated question but when we say six people have to be BIPOC does that mean on the CAF. Do we have to self identify as BIPOC or if there is someone who did not answer that question. I think you're getting what I'm getting at here, which is, we have five people who have self identified as BIPOC based on the last memo. One person who didn't self identify, and in this one you didn't tell us and so I'm curious to hear to know how how you're viewing how we actually meet that requirement and how much is self identification. That's a really good question I don't know the answer to that question I can tell you that we've met the threshold of the requirement of the charge, six members, I believe are BIPOC members. What was one did not identify self identify. But that's all that's what I put in my memo but I'm confident that we've met the threshold of six members being BIPOC community members. So they're Dorothy yes, yes, when I did see the self identify my first thought the other day was Rachel dollars all, and who I do not denigrate by the way I think people can self identify as one thing or another. And I think that we don't want to get into 23 and me. I don't know DNA because people's DNA and their sense of who they are do not always match. But I am agreeing with Evan that if there's a system. Then either if people have to be identified which used to be in very bad taste but now is in good taste if people have to be identified. I think there has to be a consistent system, because what we what we ended up with was white was the default, which is, you know, a So I understand the difficulty in your position. I think people have to be told that that the requirements of where we are now. At least some committees require a consistent system. Okay, thank you, Dorothy, Alyssa. Just reflecting again on the unique nature of this committee. I think that what this means is much like many of the conversations the previous OCA and now TSO has had with Paul about what we want in memos and what would be more helpful to us in terms of this. I think it was arguably, I assumed it was an oversight because it wasn't something we normally would do. When it comes to Russ Vernon Jones, I think given the nature of this committee, I think that it would have been made sense in the memo in this most recent memo to say, how that person self identified or if they didn't. And then in the case of both the previous memo and this memo, when a person doesn't self identify which no one's required to do anything accurately on their CAF or we'd have to throw some CAFs out because some people don't answer like the question if they live in Amherst or not accurately is that I think given the nature of this committee as opposed to every other committee. I think we aren't going to start expecting this to be part of every single memo to us, which I believe we are not except in isolated cases like this, where the charge clearly identifies, I think the charge must have surely been, of course, used during the six, so the charge clearly stated that it, there needed to be six. Therefore, the interview team should have stated whether or not they had six, because that's the requirement. And so I understand what Paul just said but I think that it could easily have been that given the person did not self identify on the previous memo that Paul could have written did not self identify on the CAF but during the interview identified as, because if that's not true then right we're kind of in a know where's the kind of way. And I think it's entirely appropriate for this limited circumstance, where we have said, in the charge, you have to fulfill these requirements, you can't just allege that you fulfilled the requirements you have to have people either self identify, or follow up with them and say, I know you didn't fill this space out but you see how the charge here says six, can we count you, and and then that's up to the person, and if the person doesn't want to be counted, then that's fine, but it should be an active question because you shouldn't sit there and say, I know this person, I can guess well that that's exactly the wrong thing to do. So, this is a hindsight sort of thing rather than knowing it going in. But if, for example, there's another committee in the future, which I think we all expect there to be at least one of that grows out of a recommendation from the community group that might very well also have some standards like this, then I would think that at that time we'd reflect back to this conversation and say, it needs to be clear the person needs to choose at the interview time they don't think if they don't do it on the CAF whatever, but they need to just choose at the interview time so that the people making the recommendations know whether or not they've accurately met the requirement. Future reference. Any response to that Paul. That was an oversight clearly an oversight of my part and not including the self identification of this, the one that Mr Vernon Jones that you're referring now I can read, I can revise that memo in anticipation and in advance of the town council meeting on Monday. And I would never substitute my judgment for what someone has self identified. So, but we can reach out to the person who did not self identify and either through our process and find out how they self identify if they're willing to share that. Thank you. And I would just also add that I, I agree with Evan that I was a little surprised that we were only looking at one person tonight.  So, yeah. In the future we might not have a special meeting for one person. Yeah, I, yeah, I understand that. And I appreciate the time everybody carved out their day for this brief meeting. I also had I emailed Paul earlier today because I was somewhat horrified that there was a person who contacted the whole town council that she hadn't been notified. So, and Paul said that it was because there was, you know, some people that might have still been under consideration or anyway if you want to add any more to that Paul. Yeah. So, yeah, it's an act, it's an active pool. So, as we continue to move forward. I rely on the interview team to say who we want to move forward with. So, you know, the ones I have started to contact them but Dr. Pierce appears I did not contact. So, if, since we have the names of these people are now public. If you were a person who had an interview and you haven't been notified, you would just kind of assume that you were still under consideration if you hadn't heard, because otherwise, you would want to contact people if you had made a affirmative or a negative decision about a particular person right. So I wouldn't make any assumptions right this moment. Honestly, if I were, if I were watching this right now. So, yeah it just seems seems odd to have the names public without notifying the people who had interviews. Yeah, but okay well I don't see any other comments or questions, or do I yes Alyssa. Yes, so since we went down that road, I have one request which is that we not mention that individual by name I thought Darcy was very careful to not do that and I think we should continue not doing that because again we don't publish a list or anything I know that's a long conversation we've had before, but since we don't publish a list it feels uncomfortable to mention a particular email that we received and I hope we won't be doing that at the town council level and I hope that town counselors won't do that as well. I agree that this is an unusual situation but I also disagree with the decision not to tell people that they were not being brought forward at this time. If this was something the town council was doing rather than the town manager doing like if this was a planning board or ZBA appointment. I don't want to fight tooth and mail that we would tell people, you are not being brought forward at this time, but of course we are going to consider you for future possibilities. At this time just because their X number of seats on the body doesn't mean we're ever going to fill those seats so rather than I appreciate not wanting to come back for another and another. We cannot be any more people appointed and that's okay. We don't have to fill all the seats, especially because we've fulfilled the mandate of the people of color that we specifically ensured we're on there. And sometimes a group gels in a particular way and that's okay one doesn't need to fill X number of seats just to have them filled. Given the awkwardness of this particular situation, I think that it does not make sense to not advise people that in fact several names are being brought forward, and yours is not yet one of them, and we do not know, we do not at this time. The reality is you're not appointing the person. They didn't get appointed last week they're not getting pointed this week. Will they get appointed a month from now, or six months from now, entirely possible, because you always go back to people who have applied before. And I think it was on, it was a mistake to not tell people whose names were not being brought forward in public, what their status was. And I think it's unfair to them for them to wonder, will they bring me forward next week, two weeks from now, or never, I just feels disrespectful. I just want to state that this committee is not being run by Paul. These appointments are being made by a committee. And so we are trying to make ourselves follow better rules we know in the past this has been a complaint that people would sign up for committee and, you know, time would go by and nobody would know what was happening. And that we were trying to work on this to not do that but he is not running the committee. So when you have a committee that has power. Then sometimes it does things the way you like and sometimes it doesn't. This is this is a committee of the town manager Dorothy. Is he making these appointments is he, I thought he had a committee he kind of he appointed a committee to make the appointments is not advise him. They're his appointments. That's like saying that when he has a search committee for a staff position that the search committee picked the person not him that's ridiculous. I don't know how it would level below. Is this the committee that's going to choose the committee, or is this, didn't we already choose a committee that was choosing people. And isn't this somebody that was chosen or am I am I a step out of step here. You want to explain that Paul. Thank you. So these are town manager appointments to achieve the town major appointments I viewed it I appointed an interview team that you saw the names on the team. They have done the interviewing with with myself present as well. So I'm part of all the interviews but they are the interview team and then they give me a their recommendations. And then I move forward with the recommend with the recommendations I agree with to you. So it's his recommendation for a town manager committee. I guess that's not really how I thought it was sold I thought it was sold that this was as this committee was playing a large role in doing this. It does. All right, so that what I mean is it's not quite like it is sometimes that's all it's not unless it's totally like your small advisory committees that you change for every committee. This was more input from a group of persons that they had a stronger role than some of the other committees. Well, it's just it's a different I think you talked about this at your last meeting. Yeah, this is a different process than a normal appointment. This is a unique interview team that is very engaged in the interview process. And we have very important conversations after the interviews, and then move forward after that. If you do play a major role in those conversations so it isn't it isn't okay I got it. All right, I think that's the end of the comments. If we don't have any more questions or comments I'm just going to make the motion. I would move to recommend that the town council approve the following recommendation by the town manager of a person to serve on the community safety working group for a term that lasts the length of the working groups efforts. Russ Vernon Jones drive a second. Second. Okay. Any more discussion. Roll call votes. Alyssa. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Evan. Yes. George. Yes. Okay, that is passed unanimously I will forward it to the town council for the meeting on Monday. Okay, so. Okay. That's pretty much it. We're not going to do anything else tonight. We don't have any minutes. We don't have any. Discussion of anything. So. Unless someone else has a comment or whether I would do have a public comment listed again at the end of the meeting and just in case let's just check. And see if you want to add any public comment. All right, so we are scheduled to meet again next Thursday at 430, 430 to 630 because we have our public forum on budget at 630. So, that's all. Thank you very much. The meeting has adjourned. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.


I'm just so depressed over YouTube right now. Why are you depressed over YouTube? We're just skating right now. I just can't talk. I can't do anything right.

We were actually by a forest preserve and I decided because we've been stuck inside for the past couple months, it is time to get out, get active, and start walking or rollerblading. What are we doing today? We're debating because Mariah's having some bad period cramps. Yeah, I'm about to get it today. The mood has been coming out. Let me just tell you that. This morning was a struggle, Mom's God. I just need exercise. I feel like this will be really good on my stomach. There's something really sentimental we're gonna show you guys when we get out of the car.  It's literally like the start. This is the freaking start of everything. And bless you. I totally just like, did not even realize you were sneezing. We're gonna go outside and get our rollerblades on and get this out of the room. Let's go, let's get it, hey. Don't forget your water. Stay hydrated. Wait, that's my water. Oh no, it's not, okay. She's always been stealing my waters. All right, baby, you got the stuff. I got the stuff. You got the stuff. And he cops around. All right, we're good, we're good. Oh my God. I lost my wheel in that one TikTok video. She's definitely riding solo today so be careful out there. Hopefully I don't fall. If another wheel falls out, your screws. You're done. I'm actually kind of scared. I know, that's what I'm saying. Don't go fast. Better be behind me the whole time though. Woof. Sorry, mom's probably caught a whiff of that. You are so dramatic.  All right. Let's race because I'm gonna be. All right, ready for this quick skate change? Yeah, let's get it. Ready? One, two, three. Ooh, are you ready? Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go? This is so insane. This is like two and a half years later that we're coming back here.  She could not stop because it's kind of like a downhill. I go like this. I go like this. I miss her shirt and she literally bailed into the. Bill goes, don't go in the grass. Don't go in the grass. I went in the grass as me. I literally fell on it. I didn't think you were gonna fall. But she straight up just flat face on the ground. It was literally right into the spot that we were gonna show you. So this is actually the area Mariah. Do you want to give them a little insight on why we are right here right now? You guys, show them really quick. Okay, okay. So this is the spot right here and if you know our channel, if you've been around for a long time you'll know this spot. What do you think it is? We should say it at the end of the video. So we're gonna wait. So comment down below right now if you think you know why this spot is so sentimental to us. And we're gonna go cruise down this path now.  Are you ready? Ready, baby? Give me a kiss. I really thought I was gonna fall on my face, Bill.  Like, help me, help me. You were taking fun of me the whole time. We were literally going like 20 miles an hour. It doesn't look like it. Oh my God. She just ran over a stick. Oh my God, babe. All right, babe. I'm gonna let you go. Be free. Be free. No, let go. That was lit. That was so lit. That was not scary at all. That was probably the most fun we've had in a while. I would rather go down like that on a bike rather than on my skate. This is creepy. I know. Look at this. Okay, this is legit though because it's such a calming atmosphere right now. Let's just glide, honey. Like, we're on a nice paved path in the middle of a freaking forest. All we can do is just glide down it. All right, babe. I wanna see how far it can go. I'm gonna film you from here, okay? Keep going. You lead the pack. We have the Cheeto print. So I'm just gonna follow you, okay? Bye, babe. So as you can see by the title today, I'm actually gonna be pranking Mariah. I'm gonna be telling Mariah that I just don't wanna do YouTube anymore. I wanna stop. I want this to be our last video and I'm really just gonna be going at it to make her believe that I don't wanna do YouTube. Remember, I would never quit YouTube. I would never quit social media. This is literally my love and passion. I love all of you. So don't think that any of this is real. This is all fake. I'm just simply pranking Mariah to believe that I don't wanna do YouTube anymore. Shit, I could even say I don't wanna do YouTube. I just wanna do TikTok.  I know Team Bill has been coming back for the past two videos so thank you so much for showing those videos, love. So make sure to show this video some love. Let's try to get this to 33,000 likes, 14 bill and the comeback of not wanting to do YouTube. That sounds so bad. I'm so sorry that all of you have to hear that. I do not wanna say that, but this is just a prank.  Thank you guys so much for watching. Like I said in the beginning, if you are not subscribed to our channel, make sure to go ahead and hit that subscribe button and turn on post notifications so you get notified every single time. We do post a video and I'm gonna skate back up there because she's hella far away. I don't know what she's doing. She's in her own little world, dancing up there. Wish me luck. Da-na-da-na, da-na-da-na, da-na-da-na, da-na-da-na, da-na-da-na. Oh, wow! What was that? You scared me. Yeah! Feet hurt. Your feet hurt? That's a bad thing because once you skate, once you skate all the way out, you forget, you have to skate all the way back just to get back up there. So we're on our way back right now. We will see you back up there whenever we get up there. I don't know how long it's gonna take. Oh my God, I can't do this. What are you talking about? I don't wanna do YouTube, dude. Like this socks. What socks? I just can't talk. I can't do anything right. I'm not... Let's get back. Let's just stop the video here and let's talk when we get back in the car. Can you stop the video? Cause I don't even wanna hold the camera anymore. I'm just sort of pressed over YouTube right now. Why are you depressed over YouTube? We're just skating right now. It's so hard. What's hard? YouTube. What do you mean YouTube's hard? Why are you on the floor like that? Oh, it's in my hair! It's a beat, it's a beat. Why are you being so down? I don't know. I don't know what I wanna do right now. What? All of our subscribers, I love it. It's just YouTube is just... What are you talking about? Okay, alright, alright, alright, alright.  Alright, let's just, can you hold the camera and let's just do the outro.  Alright, Marvel Squad, hold the camera. Let's just finish the ending. Let's just tell them we'll see them when we get back in the car. Alright, so this is literally the only good lighting in this whole forest. Yeah, it is. So we're gonna see you guys back up in the car. We have to go a couple blocks. We were literally so far away. So we're gonna grind up there and we will see you in the car. We'll see you guys then. We're gonna talk to you about YouTube. Alright, let's just calm down a little bit, okay? We can talk about it in the car, okay? Alright, love you, Marvel Squad. See you soon. Alright, I'm gonna start filming now. I'm in a little better mood than I was when we were on the path. I think that he was getting to me a little bit. Yeah, probably. But I don't know. I don't know, I was filming with you. I'll talk to you in a minute. But it's so hot out in here, guys. It is so hot in the car and I don't have AC which I need to go get that fixed. Literally, and on a day like today, it's literally like 90 degrees out, I think. Yeah, it's not fun. But we are actually gonna be leaving the forest preserve.  Marvel Squad, we're gonna head home. We're probably gonna pick up some food probably on the way home, too. Yeah, but I still wanna talk to you about YouTube and stuff. Okay, we can just discuss. I think we just need to eat and calm down. We're really hot. I don't know if it's just food, though. Like, I really need to talk to you. Alright, let's just... Because my mood has been weird. Let's talk when we get home because it's really hot in here. Let's just think about it on the car ride and then we'll talk when we get home, okay? Alright, so we'll see you when we get home. Woo! See you soon! We are finally in AC. We are back inside. We got our tacos! Yes, we got some food going. We're just chilling out now. We got some food. I got a burrito. Mariah got some tacos and we're enjoying the rest of our day. It is so nice. I might go jump in the pool. Huh? I'm about to go jump in the pool. Go jump right now. She won't. Mariah was literally complaining about how hungry she was.  No, I've never been this hungry. Like, every time, it's always like, I've never been this hungry. Like, it beats the last time. He's not laughing at that. I'm laughing at that. So, today was supposed to be a vlog, guys, but actually, like, I've been thinking for a while. I don't know, YouTube is just kind of stressful. Isn't it? Don't laugh. This is not funny. I'm serious. I'm not laughing. I don't really think it's... I mean, yeah. Every job has its, like, stresses and there is stresses when it comes to, like, getting filming done and, like, sometimes we get interrupted or, like... And that's what I'm talking about. Things don't always work out, but, like... It's stressful. Not every job's gonna be easy. I don't really want to do YouTube anymore. Please stop. Don't say that. That is so... I'm serious. You are not being serious. Mariah, okay, listen to me. Listen. I want to talk with our Mariah squad and understand, I want them to understand how I'm feeling. Because I want to be open. I don't want to hide stuff with you guys, you know? I don't want to hide stuff from you, of course. Well, we talk about every day how we're so blessed to have our job and just, we're so fortunate to have everything that we have and we never in a million years thought we would have this. I know, I know, but still, it's like, I just don't know what I want to do. Are you just not happy? I don't know. Why are you in my ear? Why can't you just agree? Because I don't agree. I love my job. I love doing this. I love it too. And so do you. I just think of getting in your head right now. Mariah, listen to me. Stop. I'm listening.  I'm not feeling it. I'm trying to open up my heart to you. My heart. So basically what you're saying is you don't want to do YouTube anymore. You're just gonna leave all the Mariah squad members. Don't, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, I understand that. I understand. Okay, maybe we can take a break. I am not taking a break from my job that I love so passionately about. And so do you. You always are you.  You love this job. I do love it, but I just feel overwhelmed. I feel like we need to take a break. Like I don't want to keep doing this with a fake face on. You know what I mean? Why are you not happy, Bill? No, I heard they'd be to hear that you don't want to do this anymore. Then I won't put that in the video. I just wanted to talk to you and tell you how I'm feeling. People work so hard for this and they love us. People love us, Bill. I understand that. People look up to us. They look forward to our videos. Listen to me. I love all of them too.  I feel like I just need to take a little break. I can't even eat right now. I'm so freaking flustered. I just can't do this anymore, man. I literally can't. How can you just go from being so happy about this to sad? Oh my God, see, it's not because. I don't understand why you're feeling this way, Bill. You're making me uncomfortable. How am I making you uncomfortable? I'm trying to understand why you feel this way. Because level with me. Understand that I have feelings. So what? You know what? So many people would be blessed to be in a position that we have and you just want to just quit. I don't want to quit. I want to take a break. I don't really want to do it. That's going to jeopardize us. That's going to jeopardize us. I understand they want, okay, then you can post. How about you just post for a couple of weeks and I just love to eat. They're here for me and you, Bill. But still, I can't, like I don't know what to do. I've been like in my head freaking out. I understand it's real feelings, but I don't understand why you're feeling this way. I understand, but I don't understand. That's what you just said. So it's either you're one or the other. You can't understand and then not understand. That's the same time. Bill, I just think you're getting in my head. I'm not getting in my head. We're not quitting you, too. We're not quitting, Bill. We have everything that we've always wanted right in our hands. You talk about it. We're just talking about last night. How happy we were. I just don't want to do it anymore. Why? I just can't do it, Mariah. I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. We need to think this through because I think you're just getting in your head right now. I'm not getting in my head. Our job, this is our career. You don't realize. So what do you want to do then? I just want to chill. Just chill? Just go swimming or something. Jokingly. I'm not dead serious. I'm serious. No, you're not. Why are you laughing then? Because. You're not serious because you love our job. Look me in the eye. Look me in the eye without laughing. Stop. I don't believe you. This is a joke. The reason I don't believe you is to talk about how much we love our job every day. I'm a poster's video. Turn this into an exposed video. You're trying to force me to do something about it. I'm not forcing you. I think you're just getting in your head. Look, you can't even. You aren't just joking.  I'm just pranking you, babe.  I want to do you. I love you too. Now my tacos are cold. My tacos. Guys, I freaking love all of you. I love you too. I love our jobs. I love putting a smile on your faces and being positive.  I didn't believe you. This girl's like, I didn't even believe you. I said no, I said no. You want to quit? Why would I ever want to quit? Something that I love. This is my passion and our career. I freaking love all of our Marvel Squad members and all the new Marvel Squad members that are coming to our channel every day. Just know, this is our forever and we're going to be alongside you guys for a long time. And Team Bill's always going to be coming back with a better prank. So remember that for the years to come when you're watching our channel, when we're growing up, when we're growing old together because why are you looking at me? I'm like a devil. Oh my gosh. That's not true. Like a little pit bull. Chihuahua. She'd be more of a chihuahua. That's literally what she sounded like this morning when she was yelling at me. Oh my God. I love you though. Hey, I'm sorry, but Team Bill has become it. Where's Team Mariah? Team Mariah, AFK. I'm taking over the channel. It's because you're trying to like- You scroll down. You just see prank on girlfriend.

If you guys already commented down below, we're going to be looking at those people that commented first in the comments. That spot was actually where we did our first intro video to YouTube. It's like the uh, uh, uh. If you ever heard the song Selfish, I want you to want it myself. I tweaked the song a little bit to make it not copyrighted. That was our first ever intro. We filmed it there. Do not watch it. It's very crazy. With our boy Jay Cole, he filmed the video and really we should have filmed it on a tripod because the whole time in the video you could see it was shaky. But really when you film those videos, you want them to be stable and we were just amateurs. We didn't know what we're doing but thank you guys so much if you did know. If you didn't know or if you are new to our channel, don't worry about it. Literally we were just wanting to see who has been part of our channel or seen those videos back then.

I was like, okay you're just getting hot and sweaty.  So much better than you ever. That was a fake laugh.  Because team Bella isn't good anymore. Do you see how she mimics me? Whenever I make her laugh, she's like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. She doesn't want to give me the satisfaction that I got her booty butt. We're gonna finish our eating. I'm gonna start eating.

Hi everyone and welcome to our ethical leadership program. Andrea Bowman and I will be talking to you today about I'm Jodi Bruins. I'm leadership and civic engagement specialist with NDSU Extension And I'm Andrea Bowman. I also work for NDSU Extension and leadership and civic engagement and work with the lead local program Yeah, so what brings us here today is You may be familiar with our leadership program called lead local and we've done this with many groups across the state of North Dakota many organizations and businesses and One particular piece that we're going to cover today is that on ethical leadership and Even though it's a small section of this particular program. It seems to be the one that gets the most discussion questions and Adults in regards to ethical leadership in regards to either business or those in leadership positions so we hope you gain something from this and It always leads to some good discussion in your organization Yeah, so today we're going to talk about the open record and meeting laws will highlight those laws and also What it means to be an ethical leader and just some best practices for your organization to show transparency So some raffle rationalizations that we've heard people talk about when we do this program You know what how do people rationalize unethical behaviors? Sometimes it's as long as it doesn't hurt anyone as long as my decisions don't hurt anyone. It must be okay Or I've got it coming. They owe me. It's a good cause So victim mentality If it's necessary to ethical Not necessarily Everyone else is doing it. So the age-old adage, right?  So Even though it may not make much sense to you um Ethical leadership is proven to lead to a better workplace and a more robust organization And it's really why we talk about ethical leadership is so people don't have to take the time to make these rationalizations You know ethical leadership is really leadership that demonstrates Respect for ethics and values and you want those ethics and values to be part of your organization and what your organization stands for so it's really Why this discussion is important in I think people it's not always a discussion that organizations have So we really want to make sure that Organizations take the time to recognize what their ethics and values are So I included this particular cartoon because I think it gets right to the point of the matter. So Probably familiar with Dilbert. This is the Dilbert cartoon by Scott Adams And so I acted ethically and emailed Scott Adams for permission to be able to use this for the program And so the cartoon reads like this. Have you taken the mandatory training for business ethics? No, but if you say I did then you'll have some money on training save some money on training Which you can spend to decorate your office Well, luckily I haven't taken the training myself. I hear it's mostly common sense anyway So when we talk about ethics It seems like your ethics and my ethics may not align And so like Andrew he said it's important to be talking about it as an organization. So what I might think is ethical if we don't talk about it or you might be divided in in In our ethical decision-making so it has to be a culture an organizational culture So characters really ethics and action. It's what you do when it's how you behave when you think no one is looking And we we have a lot of examples of what we talk about this and you know that yellow that yellow light I think a really common one lately is when you're driving and your phone is buzzing you're lighting up You know, it's you've got you've got that text waiting and the urge to read it is really strong But you know, you're driving and you need to focus on the road and so it's really important to Walk the walk and talk the talk I think When we talk about character and ethics and action, it's there's a lot of parallels to parenting You know, there's always there's always eyes watching you So I think that's an important concept when it comes to ethical leadership and leading a group If you wouldn't want your family to see it on the front page of the newspaper, don't do it You know, and we also recognize that we're all human and we make mistakes and those are going to happen But I think it's it's how we handle those mistakes also And just owning up to them and being honest about about what we've done So how do you practice ethical leadership? It's having a clear framework or an ethical mission So ethics can be really centered around respect for ethics values as well as rights and dignity of others It means that a work environment is governed by fair clear articulated set of rules rather than by personality or politics It should definitely be a topic of discussion If your organization or business work of place work of place of work, excuse me is not discussing ethics It can be left up to interpretation Ethical thought should be connected to ethical actions So as Andrea stated before walking the walk and talking the talk an ethical leadership surely is a shared process And I think it's important to just remember that the leader of an organization can really have a huge impact on on how that Organization is is run and and how it's perceived So duty as we travel across the state we've been into several communities now With our lead local program and had a lot of very meaningful discussions with different organizations and or Participants from different organizations. I should say And with that there's a lot of questions asked Do you want to start us off with maybe one of the most common questions that people ask? Right. So it never fails. It seems like every time we do lead local there's questions about public participation in meetings and People always seem to be surprised at the fact that just because you attend a public meeting Doesn't mean you have the the right to be heard so Let's say I I'm I would like to participate in a county commission meeting or a school board meeting or any Public meeting, okay, and so I show up and I have a problem with the road and I want to speak Does the county commission have to grant me permission? Do they have to allow me to talk Andrea? They don't have to let you talk and this is where we get into the I'd like to call it the layers of ethical leadership or ethical Organizations and so the losses that you don't have to let people speak at a public meeting But best practice is to let citizens have their voice heard So legally you don't have to let people speak at the meeting But it's a it's a good practice to have to let the public have their voice be heard But with that said it's always important to have some parameters For people to follow some guidelines, you know, typically they have to Request to be on the agenda ahead of time and also have some parameters that they have to follow as they only have a certain amount of time to speak And only only speak when when they're called on So I'll reference the office of the Attorney General. This is the North Dakota Attorney General and It's the open meetings guide and so I'll just read what it states about Participation in public meetings a member of the public has the right to attend an open meeting To record or broadcast the meeting but does not have the right to speak So as Andrea said it's best practice if you want to be heard at a meeting to call the county auditor or your Business manager or whatever the point of contact is for that particular organization and asked to be put on the agenda and Hope that you can be heard And so if there's a large contingent that shows up for a particular meeting The county commission or whomever the governing body is This is where it's important to use Robert rules of order and parliamentary procedures So you can you have the right to limit times people are spoken and how many times they can speak So if that's a particular issue, but again, that's pretty rare But it is important to follow those rules and ask to be on the agenda And then I'm quite confident that you would be given the opportunity to be heard But you do not have the legal right to be heard at a public meeting Thanks Jodi and that that leads me into another question that comes up a lot in that's about Noticing meetings and the agenda for the meeting so people know that there's something at the meeting that that interests them And one of the questions that we often get is you know, how far in advance does a meeting have to be noticed and Organizations that have set meetings monthly typically have a System in place where they're not noticing You know the newspaper Well in advance Their their website the front door of the building has the notice of the meeting well in advance Where this changes a little bit is when we get into special meetings and those have been happening a little bit more frequently at the changing times In our in our state in our nation and so those special meetings They need to be noticed as well But those special meetings are noticed as soon as the date and time and agenda is set for the meeting So there's not necessarily a set amount of time that needs to The the meeting needs to be noticed but just as soon as as that special meeting is set And this is come on at several and several of our lead local trainings where people are Confident that they have to let the newspaper or the TV station know two weeks in advance before the meeting Well again, I will reference the Attorney General's office meeting guide So meeting notices prior written notice is required for all meetings of a public entity including committees and subcommittees Generally, there is no me minimum advanced notice period for public meetings Okay, so an entity must provide public notice of the date time and location of the meeting when the governing body is notified So just like Andrea said, it's a good practice to post the agenda as soon as an entity realizes They need to have a meeting So they'll post that outside of the meeting place. Perhaps it's on a door or window Outside the office of let's say the business manager at the school If there's enough time, I know when let's again, I'll reference a county commission meeting They they meet every two weeks on a particular Monday morning The newspaper is waiting for that agenda and notice to be posted in the newspaper But again, if there happens to be a special meeting which there seems to be a lot of those right now As long as you make a valiant effort to let the public know perhaps that's on social media Or posting outside of the business place It's just good practice In most cases people don't mean to break the law But if you can be as transparent as possible, then there's never any chance for people to question your motives Yeah, I heard a really I think powerful statement the other day someone said, you know We just appreciate when organizations communicate a lot because when we when we don't get Communication from them and we feel like they're hiding something we feel like they're doing something wrong and Oftentimes organizations aren't even trying to do anything wrong They just aren't communicating what they're doing with people and so people get nervous when they don't know what's happening Right, even if you don't mean to be doing anything wrong or you have nothing to hide You know if it's left up with two interpretation if you're not being clear with the public What what are they thinking? So it's best to be as transparent as possible Yeah, I think in another thing that's important too is to if you ever have questions on these things You know what the what the law is and what it means to your organization reach out to your local States Attorney or your your parent organization whether it be the Association of Counties or League of Cities School Board Association They have resources available to help you and give you guidance to follow these open and open record and meeting guide Better to ask permission than forgiveness Definitely, is it is there any other questions that you get a lot Jodi when you Travel around the state Yeah, so one thing that's come up a couple of times is the kind of the debate about whether or not If you were appointed to be a committee by a public entity, do you have to abide by public meetings and open records laws and The question has been well if I'm a working group, let's say a county commission has They've created a working group or special committee to study something. So we don't have to abide by those open records laws Well, that's not really true. So again, I'll reference the Attorney General's document on open meetings guide It's actually one of the first first references on this document if a governing body delegate Any authority to two or more people the newly formed committee is subject to the open meetings law Even if the committee does not have final authority or it's just fact-finding. All right, so keep in mind If you're meeting on behalf of a public organization, you too are subject to those open meeting laws So again, it goes back to what we just talked about be transparent Even if you have nothing to hide and you're sure nobody will care That's when you get into trouble So I wonder if I shouldn't just mention to Andrea sometimes I know that We've also gotten a discussion about whether or not If a quorum happens to be At an auction sale or at another public event. Is that an open meeting? Yeah, that's a good question and that comes up a lot in you know anytime there's a quorum of a of an organization present and they're talking about Business, then they're actually holding a meeting The difference there is what they're talking about So when we have we still have counties that have only three commissioners So it's not in common for for them to all be in the same place in our small communities And they can easily have a conversation and not talk about business But the the question is what's the perception to the public when they see three commissioners Talking to each other so that gets into the you know, what's the law? what does the law say and What's the best practice and and what's the the public perception of of the discussion, right? After we had lead vocal in a community who will remain nameless Someone approached me and said all of our school board members vacation together and You know, they may now be breaking the law and They're probably not talking about public business, but what's the perception and so Again small communities people know each other. We're going to see people at public events. Maybe a wedding dance or Church event or school event and you know when you decide to become a leader and throw your hat in the ring know that you are open to that kind of scrutiny and And And we can't stress enough how important it is just to be aware of the perception that you're you're giving off Definitely, so we've talked about the the open meetings a lot There there are also some issues that come up with open records and one right now That's kind of relevant to everything that's happening quickly is just the sharing of information and How that information is shared So when you're a public entity and that's an entity that's receiving public funds, you know You are subject to these open record and meeting laws and that means that The records any documents you're sharing are subject to the the open records So we have to be careful when we're sharing information back and forth Not in the meeting so texts and emails Well that you can set up a time and date for a meeting there You don't want to be sharing actual business or having a back-and-forth discussion about anything business related. So don't hit reply all and Group texts aren't aren't necessarily a good thing unless it just says our next meeting is this date and time So Andrea brings up a good point So I've been referencing the open meetings guide and I'll reference the open records guide And she has the link up there for the Attorney General's website and these are just front and back really easy to Find kind of reference guides. We use them all the time So definition of a record Includes all recorded information regardless of physical form paper email computer file photograph Audio tape recording text, etc. And I think that's really important to keep in mind there was a Decision on the Attorney General's office homepage in regards to I think it was the Bismarck Public School and The opinion he had made in that the question was is some handwritten notes were requested and Someone had thrown the handwritten notes away and just typed up what had been on the notes and The Attorney General's opinion was that those handwritten notes should have been You know should have been kept with your regional meeting documents. So You know, even if there was no intent to be Deceptive or malicious Just know again to be completely transparent keep those documents Because you just don't know who will ask or request those particular documents And it's really important to set to make sure your organization has some conversations about ethics and about the open records and meeting guides You know, these guides are just a double-sided sheet of paper for Open records and one for open meetings So that's something every board member should have and there's also a manual that goes with each of those And that's a good thing for for someone to have on file typically like the secretary or the present So if you have any questions, it's easy to go on reference and then Jodi also mentioned, you know on the Attorney General's website They have all of their Opinions on there. So you can go and see some questions that have been asked about different Organizations and practices and see what their rulings were on them. And so that's a it's a great resource to utilize Do you have anything else that you wanted to add to Jodi? Things that have come up over the over time with discussions in communities We always have some interesting conversations I think I think the most important thing we've talked about it a lot is Your organization needs to have a culture. There's so many entities that we work with who have never had the discussion about ethics So is it ethical if we put a bid out for a particular construction project? I serve on the board and I also bid the project. Is that ethical? If your board has never had the discussion about whether or not We're going to act in an ethical manner Then you're trying to make those decisions When it might be too late. So have that discussion. We encourage you to talk about it before you need to You know present a front of Unity when it comes to respect and honesty And certainly transparency and we've talked about that a lot today. So If you have questions or you want to talk about ethical issues in your organization we have a number of reference materials that we use and welcome your comments on that and We look forward to seeing you again Thank you. Good luck communicating a transparency in your organization
