But what the impact was and my understanding was it <br />25 would give some people a path and change some of the criteria that might more easily attainable and also 1 <br />26 had a question about Chair and Vice Chair and when we pick those. I was never clear on the term of our <br />27 leadership of the board was. <br />28 <br />29 Michael Harvey: If it pleases the board I can answer these 3 question very quickly. So let's answer the last <br />30 question first. Board Chair and Vice - Chair, We will be selecting Board Chair and Vice -Chair at the next <br />31 meeting it is typically is done in June and serves for a year. Given the fact that we don't have full <br />32 compliments it would be best if we wait until the next regular meeting. Which at this juncture, no I don't <br />33 know when that is going to be. My best guess is August or September and that is where you all would elect <br />34 to appoint a new Chair and Vice - Chair. You do have a full board at this juncture. Dr. Katz was reappointed <br />35 and then two alternates have been appointed. Both attorneys. <br />36 <br />37 Matt Hughes: Was I ever upgraded to a full member <br />38 <br />39 Michael Harvey: Yes <br />40 <br />41 Matt Hughes: Okay <br />42 <br />43 Michael Harvey: You now have full status. The lawsuit, there are two separate appeals. One is over the <br />44 November decision made by this board and one is over the March decision. The attorney for Ms. Brewer <br />45 decided not to combine both cases. So they are being processed independently from one another. <br />46 <br />47 Matt Hughes: But the same property. <br />48 <br />
