i know there is our residency waiver required for ms. merz. i am open to that in the sense of having any energy of the individuals engaged in this issue on the board. i would like to support ms. asato, even though i know she was not able to be there today. supervisor elsbernd: let's just do this right now. seat number nine, if that works, and make that motion. i appreciate the qualifications. i have not met ms. asato. i would rather see her go ahead and apply in two months when we have the other seats available, but i am open to either. i would definitely want to go ahead and approve ms. merz for seat number nine at this time. supervisor farrell: i actually known for ms. asato, and i have worked with her. it is great to see someone with a great application like that. we have a couple of seats coming up in a couple of months? is that right? staff? and general public seats? are there specific qualifications for those seats it? supervisor kim: i believe they are the same as the three before us today. supervisor farrell: i am ok with moving forward
