▶ 22:51 Leila Migliorelli: Pursuant to Governor Baker's March 12th, 2020 order suspending certain provisions of the open meeting law and the Governor's March 15th order imposing strict limitations on the number of people that may gather in one place. This meeting of the Finance Committee will be conducted via remote participation to the greatest extent possible. We will post an audio or video recording, transcript, or other comprehensive record of these proceedings as soon as possible after the meeting on the City of Melrose website and on MMTV3.org. If there's no objection, I'd like to open the floor to public comment. Seeing none, we're now open for public comments, where anyone can speak on the one order we have before us tonight.
▶ 23:34 Leila Migliorelli: Madam clerk, anyone would like to raise a digital hand or would like to speak at this time. Most of the people in the room are participants, so. And no 1 is raising their hand. All right. Great. So if there's no objection, I'd like to close public comment. Seeing none, we are now closed for public comments and the 1st, and only order on our agenda for discussion tonight is order dash 2021 2021 dash 88, the reappointment of Cynthia and Silveira 298. Benton street to the board of registrars of voters said term to expire on the last day of March 2024. Um, as a standard with reappointments, I don't think there's anyone here from the administration to speak on the order. So what is the will of, uh, counselor greatest.
▶ 24:25 Jen Grigoraitis: Thank you Madam chair. I'm not a voting member of this committee. I just wanted to take a moment to say how happy I am to see miss. Up for reappointment, I know many of us have had an opportunity to work with the board of register our voters and, like, everyone that worked in municipal elections this past year, they. Did a lot of work, and it's a part time volunteer position, and I think that that group was really tirelessly dedicated to the city and ensuring vote by mail and expanded access. And I just want to. Say, thank you to her and I'm very happy to see that. She's going to continue her role. That's all thank you. Thank you. Councilor greatest anyone else?
