Good afternoon. I'm now going to call the April 15, 2026 meeting of the North County Commission to order. I'm going to read the executive order on remote participation. On March 28th, 2025, Governor Healey
signed into law House Bill 62, an act relative to extending certain COVID 19 measures adopted during the state of emergency, which includes a 2-year extension of the option for public bodies to hold remote meetings by
suspending certain provisions of the open meeting law. Mass General Law Chapter 30A sections 18 to 25. That action was effective immediately extending the current option for remote meetings
through June 30th, 2027. Thank you and welcome. You could stand and join me in saluting the flag. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation
indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. I call the role. Commissioner Sty, >> I am here via remote. >> Commissioner Collins, >> I'm present. >> And Commissioner Shay is present. >> Richard, quick question. Do we have your permission to use your stamp on the
