This is not the proper way that they are not that should have been given a month Lauren attorney plan to meet the decisional that's all I'm saying is I don't think y'all was just something they don't already been done Mr Cashman because I think we need to clarify for the public this is a technically correct the language that the company sent 2 changing any boundaries that were passed already it was a technical error and what was printed what's the South Central Planning Center help me Clara am I I don't know if I'm doing it right or what I'm asking you to help me I believe you do have an expert company that you actually consulted with deck probably address the technical aspects are other matters matters being rented agenda item he actually drafted the map as one of the resolution so I don't like two different questions but I think this would probably be one of those Josh Manuel can we do that Monday this item with a we need to wait until the next time start with it thank you very much and why he's coming out in front of a letter each of you should have a letter from the commissioner of Elections and the Secretary of State in front of you in your package that you should all receive your email but you have a paper copy you want to take your name for the record Planning Development commission as you stated that is exactly what you're trying to do tonight was just be correct correct a technical error that was in the legal description has been provided to the Secretary of State's office and they have accepted the registrar-voter has accepted it and has done their job accordingly someone what happens is the legal descriptions or a company to map the legal map so that when someone is having a little bit of a that. They usually refer to the legal description to read and follow it runs about in doing so me I'm not certain who it was who discovered the error but the error is simply that in District 10 Precinct 64 was attached to bed legal description as saying a part of it was in District 10 minutes nothing in District in 46 for his call with in Council of YouTube not so we can't as I can't attest to why that did happen it was an error on our part no doubt and we recognize that we did speak to the Secretary of State's office the hold the baby too to be a little corrected technically and to do it prior to the election so there's no other way to to go around this but crazy images for transparency office actually told us we didn't have to hold the meeting today but we felt and I just out of an abundance of caution hold it today what's that should happen that they called someone else to want to run or vice versa so we wanted to make sure they was done before clock qualifying was over but we actually could have done it at our next meeting all the 64 and that you're putting into convertible the nun six items in the number District it now please understand that a lot of this need some for the actor you got a lot of turning and twisting when you lie to me I don't know why they always made but it was and we accept full responsibility for but it does not take away from the north nor will it make you have to go back to the prior District thank you and we may need you again cuz maybe some will question but I wanted to clarify that his agenda item for it's only two Alcala cbcb said that we have to introduce redistricting and resolutions at 1 meeting and I'm at the next door with this is only two ways policy to introduce Andre can adopt at the same so that weekend me that was quite Eerie so this this is not we're not waiting the math only waving pops so do we have any questions about from board members before we get a motion about this particular do I have a motion play policy motion by Mr Trish do I have a s s by mr.
