[12:16] Brooke Brandenburg: LUC Meeting
Sunday, June 18, 2020, 10:30 am SLT

After lengthy discussion, and offers to run by two candidates - Delia Lake & Almut Brunswick - a vote was taken that resulted in a tie. As Delia had not yet cast her vote, she voted for Almut, making her the new LUC chair.
[12:16] Brooke Brandenburg: Delia was named pro tempore by Almut and accepted the duty.

The RA will be asked to make a motion to revive the Roads Committee, as it is an RA
committee.
[12:17] Brooke Brandenburg: Delia presented a draft of the 'List of Public Spaces' for Locus Amoenus. Such documents are being developed for each region and will be used as marketing pieces. It was noted during this discussion that the quay there is scheduled for redesign, but as of yet there is no completed plan for that. We are expecting a new median there in place of the former one. This design has been completed.
[12:17] Brooke Brandenburg: Friedsee: As Friedsee has been an underachiever in terms of rental income, a plan to improve both its appearance and its functionality have been created. The LUC, a committee which is under the auspices of the RA, is required to first present such plans to the RA and to post them in the forum for a two-week period of public notice and comment. Plans moved ahead - by accident, it was noted - with redeveloping Friedsee without notice to the RA or public posting to the forum. Therefore, the LUC has been put on notice to remedy this. Work has been brought to a standstill until plans have been reviewed by the RA and viewed and commented on by citizens.
[12:17] Brooke Brandenburg: The next LUC meeting has been set for July 12, 12 pm SLT.
[12:17] Brooke Brandenburg: Done.
[12:18] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Brooke!
[12:18] Brooke Brandenburg: :)
[12:18] Lyubov Atheria: We will take up a number of these items today when we come to New Business later in this meeting.
[12:18] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you and congratulations to Almut for stepping up as Chair for the LUC!
[12:19] Almut Brunswick: Thank you! And also thank you to Delia as my Pro tempore
[12:19] Lyubov Atheria: Does anyone have any questions for Brooke about the LUC before we continue? As you see on the agenda, we will return to several of these items later today.
[12:20] Pip Torok: not from me thank you
[12:20] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Pip.
[12:20] Lyubov Atheria: The next agenda item is *4. MoCA Update
[12:20] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): That would be me again LOL
[12:21] Guillaume Mistwalker: ㋡
[12:21] Lyubov Atheria: Kyoko, would you like to provide an update please?
[12:21] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): OK the MoCA summer 2020 exhibitions are up and ready for viewing.

[12:23] Brooke Brandenburg: sorry :(
[12:23] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): On the first floor is an invited exhibit by June Clavenham titled War.
[12:24] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): The poster says July 11, but it will be open once I pop over and take up the velvert ropes
[12:24] Brooke Brandenburg: welcome Tan :)
[12:24] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Both Delia and I felt for these times we needed serious exhibits
[12:24] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I think these qualify
[12:25] Lyubov Atheria: Could you tell us something about these exhibits and how you chose them?

[12:34] Lyubov Atheria: The next agenda item is *5. Citizen Concerns
[12:34] Lyubov Atheria: Would any Citizen like to offer something at this time?
[12:34] Rosie Gray raises a hand
[12:35] Lyubov Atheria: Please, Rosie?
[12:35] Rosie Gray: sorry, not sure if this is the correct place or not
whomever else
[12:35] Rosie Gray: if they could appoint someone to make sure they put their meeting times on the CDS calendar
[12:36] Rosie Gray: I've been doing it, but it's not really my responsibility ㋡
[12:36] Almut Brunswick: If I remember correctly, we have Mizou for this task
[12:36] Rosie Gray: although if someone from the current LUC needs access, I can give them it
[12:37] Rosie Gray: oh don't know, Almut, she does the Minutes and transcripts
[12:37] Rosie Gray: probably the duty of the LUC chair to put the meetings on the calendar ;)
[12:37] Almut Brunswick: she is the LUC Secretary, that's why
[12:37] Almut Brunswick: Ok, then give me the access please
[12:37] Guillaume Mistwalker: I can put the RA meetings on the calendar. I will need access, though.
[12:37] Rosie Gray: well you can work it out, but would be nice if someone would
[12:37] Lyubov Atheria: Yes, I agree Rosie. I usually try to do the meetings that I am aware, but I do know I missed posting today's meeting. I think the Archivist would be an appropriate role to post the calendar.
[12:37] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Gaius
[12:38] Rosie Gray: I can give you access, Guillaume
[12:38] Tanoujin Milestone: Guillaume already volunteered
[12:38] Tanoujin Milestone: thank you, Gaius
[12:38] Guillaume Mistwalker: ㋡
[12:38] Guillaume Mistwalker: To be clear, though, I am offering for the RA meetings...
[12:39] Guillaume Mistwalker: Unless you all understood that I need to do that for all of our meetings...?
[12:39] Almut Brunswick whispers: Not for the LUC ;D
[12:39] Lyubov Atheria: I think Gaius' offer to post the RA meetings is sufficient, and someone from the LUC should post those meetings.
[12:39] Tanoujin Milestone: Almut volunteered for the LUC
[12:39] Almut Brunswick: I will do as soon as I got the access
[12:39] Guillaume Mistwalker: Phew, I didn't want to become the CDS's personal secretary...
[12:39] Tanoujin Milestone: thank you Almut
[12:40] Tanoujin Milestone: :D
[12:40] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Almut and Gaius.

[13:00] Guillaume Mistwalker: ㋡
[13:00] Guillaume Mistwalker: clap clap clap
[13:01] Lyubov Atheria: Unfortunately, the RA's Citizen Representative to the LUC also recently resigned.
[13:02] Lyubov Atheria: Any RA member may nominate a Citizen to this position. We may also make a public call for applications and consider those applicants.
[13:02] Lyubov Atheria: How would we like to proceed?
[13:02] Guillaume Mistwalker raises hand.
[13:02] Laura Azalee: the question is, do we have someone?
[13:02] Lyubov Atheria: Please Gaius, then Laura.
[13:02] Laura Azalee: sorry
[13:03] Guillaume Mistwalker: I don't suspect we do, Laura. Which is why I think it is best if we issue a call for candidates.
[13:03] Guillaume Mistwalker: Done
[13:03] Lyubov Atheria: Laura?
[13:03] Laura Azalee: exactly
[13:03] Laura Azalee: done
[13:03] Guillaume Mistwalker: ㋡
[13:03] Lyubov Atheria: Yes, I think we are in agreement on this fact.
[13:03] Lyubov Atheria: Brooke and Tan?
[13:03] Brooke Brandenburg: agreed
[13:03] Tanoujin Milestone: yes,
[13:04] Guillaume Mistwalker: I don't think we need a motion to ask for a call for candidates...
[13:04] Lyubov Atheria: I will make a forum and group notice, calling for applicants.
[13:04] Almut Brunswick: I could ask TeacherKatherine
[13:04] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Almut. Please feel free to remind and invite any Citizen to apply.
[13:04] Tanoujin Milestone: great idea Almmut
[13:05] Lyubov Atheria: The LUC has asked the RA to formally reinstate the Roads Committee. Gaius has led this committee in the past and has already opened a Forum discussion.
[13:06] Tanoujin Milestone: I move to reinstate it
[13:06] Lyubov Atheria: I will second this motion.
[13:06] Lyubov Atheria: Gaius, could you tell us a bit please about your progress and intentions? Would you continue to head this committee?
[13:06] Guillaume Mistwalker: Sure. ㋡
[13:07] Guillaume Mistwalker: There has been no progress, admittedly. But since the RA's so adamant on making this a priority I can get it started as soon as possible, though I am open to others chairing the committee.
[13:07] Guillaume Mistwalker: In the past, I sent out surveys asking for suggestion for each region's roads and their names.
[13:08] Guillaume Mistwalker: Each time, about a dozen or so respondents gave suggestions.
[13:08] Guillaume Mistwalker: Then we would have a public meeting to decide on the names and then forward the names to the RA.
[13:08] Tanoujin Milestone: it was fun!
[13:08] Guillaume Mistwalker: It was!
[13:08] Rosie Gray: :D
[13:08] Lyubov Atheria: Well then! :)
[13:09] Guillaume Mistwalker: It was part of my effort back in the day to have each region have its own particular identity.
[13:09] Guillaume Mistwalker: The flags across the way, on the apse opposite use, are also part of that same effort.
[13:09] Guillaume Mistwalker: I am happy to chair the committee again, though I have much on my plate. Done.
[13:10] Rosie Gray: yay ㋡
[13:10] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Gaius.
[13:11] Lyubov Atheria: I would like to move to ammend Tan's motion by adding "The Roads Committee, to be Chaired by Gaius"
[13:12] Guillaume Mistwalker: (second?)
[13:12] Tanoujin Milestone: second
[13:12] Guillaume Mistwalker: ㋡
[13:12] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Tan.
[13:12] Laura Azalee: haha too many seconds usually
[13:12] Lyubov Atheria: Are there any additional comments or questions before we voe?
[13:13] Lyubov Atheria: *vote
[13:13] Guillaume Mistwalker: None here.
[13:13] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you.
[13:13] Tanoujin Milestone: not from me
[13:13] Brooke Brandenburg: none
[13:13] Lyubov Atheria: Please vote to reinstate The Roads Committee, to be Chaired by Gaius.
[13:13] Lyubov Atheria: Aye
[13:13] Guillaume Mistwalker: aye

[13:13] Brooke Brandenburg: aye
[13:13] Laura Azalee: aye

[13:13] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Gaius as well!
[13:14] Guillaume Mistwalker bows.
[13:14] Lyubov Atheria: The next two New Business items are related.
[13:14] Lyubov Atheria: 8.4 Discussion of reclassification to NL 5-7 Civil Service Act, Section D, https://cdsdemocracy.org/faqs/nl-5-7-civil-service-act/
[13:15] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand
[13:15] Lyubov Atheria: This portion of the Civil Service Act concerns public notification of permanent changes.
[13:15] Lyubov Atheria: It is an awkward place for this rule.
[13:15] Lyubov Atheria: Yes Tan?
[13:16] Tanoujin Milestone: I would keep it there beause civil cervaants have to follow this rule. If we wnt contracting Artisans or Volunteers to adhere to it, we shoould double it
[13:16] Tanoujin Milestone: same rule, different adresses, you see? Dane
[13:16] Tanoujin Milestone: *Done
[13:16] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Tan.
[13:17] Lyubov Atheria: I think it is most important to keep this in place, and to keep this item as a placeholder, to perhaps address it in a more appropriate piece of legislation, more readily searchable.
[13:17] Lyubov Atheria: The separate related item is:
[13:17] Lyubov Atheria: 8.5 Discussion of reform to CDSL 21-01 Permanent Land Use Commission Act, https://cdsdemocracy.org/faqs/cdsl-21-0 ... ssion-act/ See Forum discussion at http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9527
[13:18] Lyubov Atheria: Tan has already started a Forum discussion about this, raising important points.
[13:18] Lyubov Atheria: Yes Almut?
[13:19] Lyubov Atheria: Are you commenting still Almut?
[13:19] Almut Brunswick: Even when I'm not a RA member, I would express my disagreement to keep this "land use rule" in the Civil Service Act. Point 1:
[13:20] Almut Brunswick: The LUC is not an assembly of Civil Servants
[13:20] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you, we will consider where and how to make these changes as part of the process, we are not making any specific changes today.
[13:20] Almut Brunswick: Point 2: Hired Artists and Entertainers are not Civil Servants either
[13:20] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you again Almut.
[13:20] Almut Brunswick: Done.
[13:20] Lyubov Atheria: I would invite you to please participate in the Forum discussion about this.
[13:21] Tanoujin Milestone: (that is exactly my point Almut - maybe we continue that at another time ;)
[13:22] Lyubov Atheria: Are there any other substantive comments about the LUC Act at this time?
[13:22] Lyubov Atheria: I would like to invite all to participate in the Forum discussion.
[13:22] Guillaume Mistwalker: None from me. I move to table discussion.
[13:22] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand
[13:22] Lyubov Atheria: This is a large and complicated Act.
[13:22] Tanoujin Milestone: and lowers it again
[13:22] Lyubov Atheria: Yes Tan?
[13:22] Tanoujin Milestone: second Guillaume's motion

[13:23] Guillaume Mistwalker: (And by table I mean the meaning in American English...)
[13:23] Tanoujin Milestone: ;)
[13:23] Lyubov Atheria: I do not wish to simply table this discussion, without first agreeing to Next Steps, such as the forum discussion and agreement on developing draft legislation text.
