The virus in the first place. We remember not too long ago the when we finally made the announcement that we would be opening gyms and hair salons and nail salons. Just think about how good it felt to feel normal. To go and get your hair done or your nails done or to go and workout at the gym and enjoy your time there, but just think about how much more important it was to the people who were finally able to open their business, who were finally able to get a paycheck, who finally had some level of certainty in their lives that they would be able to take care of themselves.

Item number 3, i believe it will take more work with the Sheriffs Department. As a board member, we dont have the authority to actually change the rules and procedures within the electronic monitoring in the Sheriffs Department, but we can actually help facilitate a conversation that we reach a consensus and agreement on how we can better serve those people, those clients we are serving. I think these three recommendations brought forth is an attempt to do that. Before we go any further and we lose some of our Public Commenters, i would like to open this up for Public Comment on items number one and two. Can you see how many speakers we have in the queue .
