[12:23] Lyubov Atheria: Our next agenda item is *2. Executive Report
[12:24] Lyubov Atheria: Chancellor Emilia is unable to join us today, but she has submitted a written report in advance, which I will now read into the record.
[12:24] Lyubov Atheria: Executive Report, 21 April 2020
[12:24] Lyubov Atheria: As Chancellor, I would like to thank all of the RAs for their outstanding efforts this 32nd Term, and this includes the entire body, Lead RA Lyubov Atheria, and alphabetically Kyoko (Samara Barzane), Richie Deschanel, Rosie Grey, and Tanoujin Milestone.
[12:25] Lyubov Atheria: I applaud the new announcements of Candidates for the 33rd RA, Tanoujin and Brooke Brandenburg. I encourage the current RA members who have not yet announced to consider doing so, and also any of our qualified Citizens.
[12:25] Lyubov Atheria: If you follow our meetings, in person or in the posted transcriptions, or minutes, you are well informed of how much thoughtful interaction surrounds the constant growth and maturity of our sims and our system of government, and the changes to statutes by which we govern ourselves.
[12:25] Lyubov Atheria: For example, we've just had another Government Question Time (previously "Hour") and it was well attended and all three branches were well represented. This meeting first became known to me when it was suggested by Lyubov that I consider it as mandated, even if somewhat forgotten.
[12:25] Lyubov Atheria: In fact, it's proven to be an excellent time to gather and have casual conversation, as well as to address any questions, and to remind ourselves of upcoming events, and to allow coordination and congenial conversation to be facilitated.
[12:25] Lyubov Atheria: I would like to welcome any new Citizens, and to once again thank everyone for your support of our community. I am relieved and happy to again welcome Soro Dagostino back from recovery, and for joining us this past Sunday at GQT.
[12:26] Lyubov Atheria: Best of luck to all Candidates, especially to Rosie who has announced as Candidate for Chancellor. I cannot thank her enough for having mentored me this term, as well as Lilith and Sudane. CDS seems to be growing in new Citizens at a healthy, organic pace.
[12:26] Lyubov Atheria: We look forward to an upcoming period of open events and exchange of ideas about how to continue our CDS path.
[12:26] Lyubov Atheria: Best,
Emilia Dagostino
21 April 2020
[12:26] Lyubov Atheria: Done.
[12:26] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Chancellor Emilia.
[12:26] Tanoujin Milestone: very nice
[12:26] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[12:26] Richie Deschanel: Thanks to the Chancellor
[12:26] Lyubov Atheria: Our next agenda item is *3. LUC Report
[12:27] Lyubov Atheria: Rosie, could you present the LUC report please?
[12:27] Rosie Gray: sure
[12:27] Rosie Gray: actually there isn't a lot to report
[12:27] Rosie Gray: except that the next area being looked at for improvements is Friedsee
[12:28] Rosie Gray: but nothing to recommend yet about that
[12:28] Rosie Gray: the next LUC meeting is Sunday May 10 at 10 am slt
[12:28] Rosie Gray: done
[12:28] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Rosie. Does anyone have any questions for Rosie about the LUC?
[12:29] Lyubov Atheria: I hear none. Thank you once again Rosie.
[12:29] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[12:29] Lyubov Atheria: The Next agenda item is *4. Citizen Concerns.
[12:29] Lyubov Atheria: Would any Citizen like to offer something at this time?
[12:30] Laura Azalee: raises hand
[12:30] Lyubov Atheria: Yes Laura, please.
[12:31] Laura Azalee: not really a concern, but i'd be interested to know what improvements are being onsidered for friedsee... but I guess there is nothing yet rosie if i understood correctly? done.
[12:31] Rosie Gray: not anything decided on no, but some ideas are being bounced around
[12:32] Rosie Gray: looking at improving the pathways
[12:32] Rosie Gray: and rearranging a couple of the parcels that could be situated better
[12:32] Rosie Gray: maybe replace some of the trees if possible
[12:32] Laura Azalee: yes some are very old
[12:33] Rosie Gray: perhaps lower the airport runway so it's not so high
[12:33] Rosie Gray: yes agreed on that Laura
[12:33] Rosie Gray: of course since it is a 'homestead' we have to be very conscious of the amount of LI used
[12:33] Laura Azalee: and also lower the airport might be a great idea
[12:33] Laura Azalee: thank you
[12:33] Rosie Gray: welcome ㋡
[12:35] Laura Azalee: I am done
[12:35] Laura Azalee: sorry i appear to be writing but i am not... lag
[12:35] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Laura, I thought you had a lot to say!
[12:35] Laura Azalee: I understood from the silence lol
[12:35] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Rosie also, those sound like great and needed improvements.
[12:35] Lyubov Atheria: Han, you have a comment or question?
[12:35] Laura Azalee: and lag again grrr
[12:35] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf: Yes, thank you. (typing)
[12:37] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf: From my point of view, it's been four years and the airport isn't really used and hasn't panned out. It's a large amount of space (and LI?) to go unused; maybe the LUC should consider an alternate use for that space? I'm not sure what that would be, but I think they could come up with something. :)
[12:37] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf: done
[12:37] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Han.
[12:38] Lyubov Atheria: Are there any other Citizen comments or questions before we continue?
[12:38] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf shakes my head
[12:38] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you everyone.
[12:39] Lyubov Atheria: The next agenda item is *5. RA member concerns
[12:39] Lyubov Atheria: Would any RA member like to offer something at this time?
[12:39] Richie Deschanel: not me
[12:39] Tanoujin Milestone: nothing here
[12:39] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you.
[12:39] Lyubov Atheria: The next agenda item is *6. Old Business
[12:40] Lyubov Atheria: We have no Old Business.
[12:40] Lyubov Atheria: Next, *7. New Business
[12:40] Lyubov Atheria: We have an extensive legislative package to discuss today, making adjustments to several related laws.
[12:40] Lyubov Atheria: 1. Reclassify NL 4-6 Financial Reserves Act as Archaic, http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9446
[12:41] Lyubov Atheria: 2. Proposed Change to NL 5-5 Treasurer Act, http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9445
[12:41] Lyubov Atheria: 3. Proposed Change to NL 5-6 Estate Owner Act, http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9444
[12:41] Lyubov Atheria: The above links refer to the open Forum discussion topics related to each affected law.
[12:41] Lyubov Atheria: Each forum topic also contains proposed draft language.
[12:42] Lyubov Atheria: I will post direct links to the posts containing specific language in a moment.
[12:42] Lyubov Atheria: Yes Han?
[12:42] Hannah Marie Bloodwolf: I'm afraid I have to leave to make some rounds and pay off some services -I'll watch for the transcript and will catch up later -bye y'all **waves**
[12:43] Brooke: bye Han
[12:43] Rosie Gray: bye Han
[12:43] Richie Deschanel: Bye Han
[12:43] Tanoujin Milestone: bye Han, dear
[12:43] Laura Azalee: bye han
[12:43] Lyubov Atheria: Does anyone have any comments or questions about the legislative proposal package?
[12:44] Rosie Gray raises a hand
[12:44] Lyubov Atheria: Yes Rosie, please?
[12:44] Rosie Gray: thanks Lyubov
[12:44] Rosie Gray: I would just like to say that this is a very important revision, and has been a lot of work that Lyubov has done
[12:45] Richie Deschanel: no, I have read the forums
[12:45] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Richie.
[12:45] Rosie Gray: I think that it works, and should take a lot of worry out of an eventual transition if it comes about in the manner indicated
[12:45] Rosie Gray: done
[12:45] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand
[12:45] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Rosie.
[12:46] Lyubov Atheria: Yes Tan?
[12:46] Tanoujin Milestone: To make it clear - the original intention to start working on that package is to make a transition from one EO to the other feasible, is that true?
[12:47] Tanoujin Milestone: Lyubov. could you comment?
[12:47] Tanoujin Milestone: done
[12:47] Lyubov Atheria: Yes, the original intention of this package is two-fold:
[12:48] Lyubov Atheria: 1) To provide for an orderly planned transition from one EO to another, while separating the roles of Treasurer and EO, to allow the Treasurer to serve as a normal Civic Servant.
[12:48] Tanoujin Milestone nods
[12:49] Lyubov Atheria: 2) To provide a mechanism to respond to an unplanned event which might require emergency action to transition to a new EO, while also keeping CDS running without interruption.
[12:49] Lyubov Atheria: Done.
[12:50] Tanoujin Milestone: may I comment once more?
[12:50] Lyubov Atheria: Please, Tan.
[12:51] Tanoujin Milestone: I think the package serves this purposes very well, and I would call it your masterpiece so far, Lyubov, it is an excellent piece of legislation
[12:51] Rosie Gray: agreed!
[12:51] Tanoujin Milestone: done
[12:51] Richie Deschanel: I agree, it is a great piece of work
[12:51] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Tan, we have all worked hard together on this, beginning over a year ago, I believe.
[12:52] Richie Deschanel: It is very clear in what it sets out to achieve and I fully support it
[12:52] Lyubov Atheria: I feel that this is all one package, that each part is necessary and dependent upon the others. With this in mind, I would like to consider this as one motion.
[12:52] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Richie.
[12:52] Lyubov Atheria: I motion that NL 4-6 Financial Reserves Act be reclassified as Archaic, NL 5-5 Treasurer Act be updated according to the draft language posted in http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?p=49508#p49508 and NL 5-6 Estate Owner Act be updated according to the draft language posted in http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?p=49539#p49539
[12:53] Richie Deschanel: I second that
[12:53] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you Richie.
[12:54] Lyubov Atheria: Are there any comments or questions before we continue? Please check the linked references to the draft language, to ensure that this is correct.
[12:55] Lyubov Atheria: I hear no additional comments or questions. Does anyone need more time?
[12:55] Rosie Gray: nope
[12:55] Richie Deschanel: no, I am ready
[12:55] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you.
[12:55] Tanoujin Milestone: ready
[12:55] Lyubov Atheria: Thank you.
