properly. YouTube is not a good way. Uh yeah, just a second. And if they can't do it, then they shouldn't be on this. I think they have a new person, too. So that might be why it's coming in

Bob, just from me to you, we had very little in regular session as we're just looking over a larger packet of uh candidates this time. I didn't have much for this next meeting schedule. If you want to if you want to pick a date for your next meeting in the time, that
would be something to do. But other than that, I don't have I don't have a regular session packet. No, we don't. We're just going to go to executives. So, it's on us to figure out our schedules for next week and to basically start
um a couple interviews. Um so, um next Wednesday, does that continue to be a good day to meet at noon? Yeah, I think we're still going to have
some candidates roll in. Like I got three from yesterday. Sure. Um we'll still be viewing a few of those in executive session. So I guess we should continue those Wednesday meetings. Yeah, absolutely. Thousand%. So the is good 10th is fine. Both.
Okay. Same time. Okay. Should if you could send that out. Um and then uh on the um scheduling and interview, right? If we could probably put some times together
for that. Um I know th Thursdays are terrible for me. Um but if we could do and next um I I couldn't do next Monday night or next Tuesday night. So,
my first open day to do anything would be Wednesday, September 10th. Um, I could do
something um Friday, September 12th at noon if we were to do something online with somebody. Mhm. Um, the next date that I could do would
then be Monday, Tuesday, and or Wednesday the following week. We have a of the 15th you're talking about, Bob?
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's on the calendar. Bob 17. Yeah. Okay. I don't know. I'm looking at the wrong one. Sorry. I'm looking at a personal calendar, not my outlook. I think we we do need to probably determine which way we're going on these
interviews. I I was thinking we were doing all in person. I don't think we can do some remote, some in person. I think I think I No, I we can if somebody's away. Sure. I mean, it's all it all depends on where we, you know, where they are from, right? Because I mean, you got some Yeah, you
got many candidates who are from outside, you know, far outside Boston. Yeah. If we're just doing a preliminary interview, I'm not going to fly somebody in. So, so are they are we going to give each each candidate the same option to be remote or in person? No.
Talk to me. No, I would not. I would. Anybody local would bring it in. Um, anybody remote, they can do remote, right? We can dictate what we want to do. It's not an option. So, if you're local, you come in, you're going to talk
in person. If you're remote, we can we can vet them remotely and see if we want to bring them in for maybe a second interview. So um but again it would also come on our availability to meet as as a group as well right try to coordinate. Yeah. And
yeah some from a schedule point of view Bob it may be okay like you know this is this whole thing is taking a lot of time so sometimes zoom is more efficient because going planning for inerson meetings is much more comp correct correct so the um
and round two will surely be in person. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, the only thing I could I I could think of, right, is potentially 5 to 6:00 p.m. on the 17th if we are
doing a regular meeting. That That's an an hour that we could meet. Um, you know, uh, potentially that's I I'm just scheduling time where how we do it or that might be, you know, up to us.
But I'm just saying 5 to 6 on that Wednesday the 17th. Um I'm open the night of the 16th and I'm open the night of the 15th.
So those three evenings we could do a Zoom or in person. Those those times work for me, Bob. Okay. All right. Okay. So, I have the evening of the 15th, uh, the evening of the 16th or 5
to 6 the evening of the 17th. I have September 12th, our regular noon meeting will be happening next week. And um, no, our regular meeting is on the 10th, not on the 12th. Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry. I have I have Friday 12 noon online. Was that an availability Bob had? Yeah, but that is for an interview. That's not Okay. So, that's for the interview and then for an interview in September 10th, um noon time is our meeting.
Noon time on 10th is our meeting. Okay. All right. Everybody's good with all of those times? Yeah. Okay. All right. Before we go to executive, just want to
know one thing. Uh Bob, have you done your discussions with one of the groups? Yes, I I finished I finished today. Okay. I I had this morning. Okay, good. Thank you. So, we should consolidate all those responses
and look at those and decide how we're going to translate that input into the questions we have come up with. Right. Excellent. Yes. And so the questions need to be handled in public session, right?
No, we already have we already have our questions, Bob. We don't we don't we have some questions, but what was the purpose of doing that then? You know, I did three of those meetings. What was the purpose of doing that? So, we we have our input. We have our our questions. So, you know, at at this
point, um Ray, Patty, yourself, and I spoke to all the employees. The employees gave us desired um um qualities of of the candidate. Correct. That was Yeah, I I did three of those, Bob. Y
So I I want some of that input to reflect on our questions. I just want us to look at our questions and see if we're going to change any questions. Okay. So So what I would I would suggest VC um because that you know that that that's employees, you know, speaking to
us, right? Let why don't you we we can all take that and see how it would affect a a question if if indeed it does. Um but let let's pull that for next week. Let's, you know, let's get No, no. I I don't mean I don't mean to review any of the questions today, but
what I'd like us to do is review all that input and because I want, you know, that was a lot of work and we want to make sure that it gets reflected and and it's good input and we want to make sure it gets reflected in how we are probing the the candidates.
Correct. I I I agree. I can create a bullet point to reflect what both of you were discussing for next week. for the for the September 10th y bullet to incorporate what we learned and and that's an open question that's
an open session meeting yes it is an open session meeting you know because again it goes into um you know some some some discussions from employees yeah well let's figure that out right we have no I mean we can decide how to share
that information and I think Patty shared some of that you know three of those like four of those like maybe three. Patty, have you done the management one yet? No. Did I I completed that? I believe I sent that back to you. Um Okay. Okay. My my bad. My bad. So, so,
so we have input on four four sessions already. I'm working on the one this morning. Yeah. So, so we need to look at all five. We'll need to look at all five. Good, good job in the summary um for the one that we did. Very good job.
Thank you. Okay. Um, does would someone like to read the motion to move to executive session? I can read it. Move that the Armad general uh manager search committee go into executive session to consider
applicants by reviewing resumeumés and criteria for the general manager position and return to regular session for the sole purpose of adjournment. Second. Yep. I pop or I
