KOSSOW: Thank you. <br />ROSENBROCK: Thank you. <br />KOSSOW: Is Corporation Counsel still there? <br />MELLON-LACEY: Yes. <br />KOSSOW: I have just a question about the timeframe that we have now. It's shortened. <br />So, what happens if we don't finish by December 31 "? And, I noticed that we also have <br />to comply with the County Charter when it comes to alternate and final plans for public <br />hearing. <br />MELLON-LACEY: Right. I do not have an answer to your question today because you <br />know, we don't know when we're actually going to get the data and I am discussing that <br />with the Corporation Counsel and will be discussing that with the State as well. So, at <br />this time, we're you know, we're just trying to do the best we can with the information <br />that we do have. <br />KOSSOW: Thank you. I appreciate that. <br />MELLON-LACEY: Sorry, I can't give you a clearer answer right now. I recently found <br />out, you know, we were working around the idea that we thought we would have the data <br />much earlier. <br />KOSSOW: Yeah. It just shortens it up for us in trying to make sure that we comply with <br />the County Charter with all these uh—with the public forums. I just want to make sure <br />that we are doing right by the law. <br />MELLON-LACEY: Right, and we will today delve into the timeline and challenges a <br />little bit but, this is kind of news for all of us, disappointing news. In fact, we even talked <br />about should we go ahead and have the meeting, but we thought we should because you <br />know, you're on this Commission and you need to get started regardless of what it's <br />actually going to mean and be aware of what's —what's going on. <br />KOSSOW: I'm sure you're going to be talking about this very soon but I was curious if <br />there was a way for us to get training before the Census comes out, with the population <br />and numbers for each district. And, I was curious if we could get training from now <br />before then. That way we don't drag out anything and I think Mr. Yoshina talked a little <br />bit about that in his question. <br />MELLON-LACEY: Yes and we will explore that a little bit today. I'm wondering, <br />cause the next thing we have is an ethics presentation, because we are also charged with <br />having to make sure the board gets the training on the ethics and Sunshine Law, as well <br />as the redistricting, but I don't know if people would like a break before we go to the next <br />thing. <br />
