He noted <br /> that the meeting was open to the public and several members of the public were viewing <br /> the meeting virtually just as they would if the meeting was an in-person meeting. <br /> Mr. Wilder referenced the Group's February 25, 2021 meeting discussion regarding the <br /> interest in a facilitator assisting the Group. Based on that discussion, County staff moved <br /> forward with engaging a facilitator.

He also <br /> referenced an online link that staff had previously provided Group members sharing <br /> information regarding Judge Bryan. <br /> Judge Bryan introduced himself to Group members and expressed his appreciation for <br /> the opportunity to assist them. He noted that he and Group Member Brian Crawford <br /> generally knew each other as legal colleagues and that they jointly serve on a mentoring <br /> committee through the Bar Association. He noted that he did not recall any other specific <br /> connections between him and other Group members. <br />
