Commissioner Eckhardt and I chatted about the clean air force.
I have been on that one for a few years.
for the last year, though, ms. Noel has been really attending for me, and they would like an elected official whose attendance will be better than mine.
>> I was on it before and am still part of it, I think.
>> I think you are still on.
>> I’m still on it.
I understand the attendance, as far as you showing up, we both need to show up at the same time on different occasions.
but anyway, I’ll be there or a representative will be there when I’m not able to be there.
I have already lined that up and got, hopefully my staff already alerted ms. Wells to that effect.
already part of it.
>> they asked for one of us to be there.
they didn't ask for two.
Commissioner Davis is on it.
>> if Commissioner Eckhardt wants to be on, that is fine with me.
the more the merrier.
is that all right with you?
>> I’ll do whatever is the court's pleasure.
>> can we coordinate so at least one of y'all will be there?
>> yes.
>> I can be your alternate.
>> okay.
>> I told them I would not be offended if they kicked me off the board.
and to show that I understood, I will do all I could to get an elected official to attend.
so let's do that then.
should I notify in writing that it will be one or both of you?.
then I need to remain on the clean air coalition since I was just reee licted chair a couple of weeks ago.
that is the clean air coalition.
any other changes.
still eager?
>> at the risk--

>> move that we roll carpo to Commissioner Huber.
>> second.
>> discussion?
all in favor.
that passes by unanimous vote.
they will be glad to see you.
I think they reminded me at least once or twice a month.
>> judge, on the policy committee for cnc, if we can work something out there, I can be an alternate to whoever is the designated representative.
>> shall we stick with the dua and cuc swap and have each other as alternates?
>> the da sampt a difficult meeting for me to get to.

I don't know that I can make an agreement on that one.
I was talking simply about cuc.
