Councilor Garing Through the chair as a maker of the amendment, um, any, any counselor can make a recommendation to a committee member to request them to come before that committee if they have a question. And it would be at the, uh, approval of the chair, like we do any, any time we're in committee
▶ 17:35 Robb Stewart: and we want to see there's an order in front of us, we usually go to the chair of that committee in order to get someone from the administration or whatever to come before us. So that was a thought process with that. Okay. So through the chair, uh, would it be then, um, if we had a reconfirmation we're in, uh, boards and commissions and then I say, I'd like to actually have this person come before us. We hold it in committee and then make the request to the chair and the chair can approve or deny that. Is that how that works? Well, through the, uh, through a committee member. A committee member of the boards and commissions. Right. Councilor Vandiver, If I may. So as the chair of Barr and Commissions.
▶ 18:18 Robb Stewart: So, and, and it looks like coun, uh, through the chair of Councilor Stewart is, is a member of that board. So, so in that scenario, um, I believe Councilor Stewart would come to me and I would make the request to the administration as the chair Barr and commission. Okay. So, but we don't need to a priori, um, have the person come before us. It would be only at the pleasure of somebody on the, the, the committee to make that request. And then we hold that in committee and then get the person. Okay. Alright, great. I understand that. Thank you. Alright.
