12:56 pm
made it clear the subsequence of discussions i don't know if director cain would recycle to say more on that. >> i think i said a lot when we met in the other meeting probably too much so i think under - yeah. is r ask if there are any questions regarding you can this basically proposal and i'm here to answer them the best i can and acknowledge that this is a work in progress this is something that may change in the future so if we want to change those procedures we'll do the same notice this one is more scrub active than the 72 hours notice but we want to change anything
12:57 pm
we can we haven't flushed out the conversation of the subcommittee so i'll ask for a little bit more discussion be had but other than that the way is reads is very much giving people an idea how those discussions will be made but not committing us one way or the other this is a case by case until we get into a realism it becomes clear which ones need to come before the committee. >> i read in the classroom hundred and thirty commits; is that right. >> there's more but again in different phases of the process and each week we push anti some of them fall off they get two late that's okay. i'm not in a panic about it there is more behind it but, yeah that was a long conversation with the
12:58 pm
reporters and some of it right and some not. >> commissioner joseph. >> i have a question i understand this is a brand new process we're going to vote on today it is policies and procedures for us we can change and modify our policies and procedures as we go along. >> right. >> i have only one i have two questions one on this little graph that is here it shows a sound inspection can you explain to me dots inspectors go out and just inspect the building exactly what are they required. >> depending on where each project is when we comes to you with the sound like studies that may have been performed previously by the project sponsor or me may not in the case we don't we felt like we may send out the inspectors to
12:59 pm
do ambient sound reading during some point at the project site as as much as we getting get there so give you information otherwise you have none. >> okay and the second question i have is do you feel it is relevant we form this committee do you want to wait on it what are - where you are you at. >> where am i at perp i think the idea of having a committee may speed those meetings up i don't know if it will create more work for the folks on the committee necessarily but potentially that will so this is something to think about if you approve this as it is written it does doesn't it create a committee.
1:00 pm
>> yeah. >> i don't know that you have to choose who is on it this evening he expect once that is approved to move quickly on some of the projects and apply those principles in this review process to those. >> so i guess my question in regards i have a timeline you have to adhere to wards to those patrol officers approvals correct if there is something that the committee has to hear it will be noticed to the public. >> yeah. >> slavl. >> would it happen twice a month like a commission meeting or more often can what do you project. >> i think either could be the reality i think we're in a position with a project in the pipeline
