All right, it's 5:30, so we're called to order. Quick roll call, Vice Chair Lachelle, Member Grove, Member Blair. And other member, Blair, is absent, and Member Chandler. So we have a quorum. So with the agenda, would you guys entertain a change in the agenda where we move the B-City report to right after the presentation on bio salts? Any other changes to the agenda? Okay, agenda is approved unanimously with that as amended. Does anyone have any changes to the minutes from July? Those minutes are approved unanimously. And with that, we'll go to Mr. Silva for the presentation. Sorry, give me one second. I thought it was up. Good afternoon, Board. My name is Joshua Silva. It's nice to be here in front of you guys all tonight. So I'm going to talk a little bit about biosolids compost ing and what we do down in the canyon at the wastewater treatment plant as far as composting biosolids. So here's my presentation. I did this a couple years ago. I don't seem to remember any of you guys. If you were here, forgive me for forgetting. But we'll go through it again. Next slide, please.

This August 19th, 2026 meeting, regular meeting of the Board of Public Utilities. Welcome to another evening of fun and frolic. We appreciate everyone's participation. Is there anyone, before we go into any more substance, is there anyone here or online for the water rate hearing that was incorrectly published for tonight when it's actually going to be two weeks from now? Do you have anybody online for that? No, Chair Gibson. Okay. Thank you. With that, we will open the floor to public comment. Is there any public comment on any item this evening that is not otherwise on our agenda? I don't see any in chambers. Do we have any online? Thank you, Chair Gibson. For members of the public who are joining us tonight on Zoom, when Chair Gibson calls for public comment, please use the raise hand function. If you are participating by phone, press star 9 to raise your hand. If you wish to make a public comment at this time, please raise your hand. There is no public comment. Thank you. That takes us to the approval of the agenda. And there's several things we need to deal with there. First, item 4C on the consent agenda. The agenda got published last Friday without a title for that. So without a title, there's no description. There's nothing for the public to know what we're doing. And by the time that was caught and corrected, it was too late for the normal 72-hour notice requirement. So we will not hear that tonight. That will be postponed. Secondly, there are two board members, Eric …

Okay, so this is going to be work sessions I indicated. So we're going to be doing it in hybrid format. We're going to have councillors or presenters and public participation either in person or on Zoom. Remember there's always phone lines are available too for people if they would like to do that. We'll be taking public comment at the beginning of the meeting for items that are not on the agenda. We'll take public comment for items as we go through the meeting agenda too. We'll have Mr. Rayal look for attendees who are virtually attending and just make sure that you include your names and be properly addressed on Zoom. Please limit your comments to three minutes or as otherwise directed. And also please make sure that you address the comments to the chair and be relevant to the topic being discussed. So our goal is to complete the meeting no later than 10 pm and if we're still meeting at 9 pm we'll check our progress at that point. I think now we're ready to go on to item number two which is the pledge of allegiance. So if you are willing and able please join us in the pledge. Thank you. Okay. So now we're on to item number three which is public comment. So this is the opportunity for a public comment for items that are not on the agenda. So do we have anybody here in person at the fire station that wants to make public comment? I'm not seeing anyone in person. Mr. Rayal can you check online for us? If you're online and you'd like to make a public comment please raise your h …

The team can pop in there and it gives them little tidbits and little videos that they can look at to help them navigate. And then at the end of that, it gives them additional resources. So we want to make sure that that is out there because, you know, that 13 to 18 year age, which, you know, I think we can all agree is a very difficult time in our lives. It's been a while since I've been there, but nonetheless, it hasn't changed. That's a very difficult time, especially for kids that might not feel like they belong to a group or have that ability to talk to someone. If they're going to use an app, I would rather that they use something that's been vetted. And these actually have evidence based practices associated with them, which means that they've been tried, tested and fixed. It's not ChatGPT. It's not Dr. Google. This is an actual thing that's related to science. And we're going to be rolling this out across the state. And so far, what we've seen is really good results from this because we're meeting teens where they're at, when they want it. And we're making sure that they know that there's resources available to them. The app is free. The crisis resources are free. We need to kind of get the word out. Right now, it's available on their website. It's awaiting release onto the Apple Store and the Google Play Store. I have an Apple, so I don't know what it's called on Google . Forgive me. But we're going to make sure that it's available. It's Google Play. That's it. All r …

All right, it's 530, so the meeting's called to order. Quick roll call. Member Edwards, Member Hampton, Member Lasowski, Member Ge ppard-Kleinrath, and Member Chappelle are in chamber. Member Connolly is online, and Member Muck is excused absence. Does anyone have any changes to the agenda? Mr. Chair, I just have to make a quick question. Just want to clarify, I'm seeing both the agendas for the regular meeting and then the special meeting we had, correct? I think that's part of the minutes? Yeah. Oh, yeah, just for tonight's agenda, though. Oh, yeah, I'll ask again. All right, since there's no changes, the agenda's approved unanimously. Is there any public comment for items not on the agenda? There are none. Next with the minutes for June 4th. Do we have any changes? All right. June 4th minutes are approved unanimously. June 22nd minutes. Any changes or correction? All right. The June 22nd minutes are approved unanimously. And with that, update on public works projects. All right. Thank you, Mr. Chair. The agenda notes the presenter is Keith Wilson today, but he couldn't make it due to the family matter. But I can do my best Scottish accent if you would like me to. We'd like to hear you try. Yes, please. No, you don't. I can say garage. So, all right. Thank you, Ms. Martinez, for pulling up the presentation. Can you go to the next slide, please? Since we didn't have any specific project presentations today, we kind of wanted to put together a presentation to give an update o …

All right, good evening everyone. Thanks for joining us. Rachel and we have a new person, Irene Powell, a new member of our board. So we'll go through introductions in a minute. So I call the August 5th meeting of the Historic Pres ervation Advisory Board to order at 541. And next is board introductions, now that we've had the call to order. So since the three of us hardly know each other, we can do a little extended introduction rather than just name. So Chair Patrick Cruz could not make it tonight, so he asked me to run the meeting. My name is Carrie Gregory, I'm a cultural resources specialist at the laboratory. I have an undergraduate degree in archaeology and anthropology and a master's degree in historic preservation . And I serve as an architectural and landscape historian at the lab. And I'm a little bit more resource rich as the rest of the county is. So it's an honor to be able to work on this board and help the county with their resources as well. So, Rachel. Hi. I'm Rachel Adler. I am an architectural conservator for the National Park Service. I also have a bachelor's in archaeology and a master's in historic preservation. And I have spent the last 15 years working either for the Park Service at Bandelier or at the regional office down in Santa Fe with this two-year stint in the archives with the state. Sounds great. So you worked with the state. I did. I'm currently back with the federal government with the Park Service again. I've worked for the state for two ye …
