This is a statutory authority and not part of city government and not a Charter board. The Charter does not apply.

Jim Smiertka has asked me to hold off on sending anything regarding the LBA. We only started meeting quarterly as of
2021. This was passed in the January 2021 meeting. Prior to this, we were meeting like once/twice a year. It was
brought to our attention in the late summer 2020 that the by-laws say we need to be meeting monthly so we started
meeting monthly. This is one reason you don't have consistent minutes also I was not aware that I was supposed to be
sending them to the Clerk's office. At any rate, I will talk to Jim and see if I should be sending the minutes that you are
missing if in deed I have them.
Thanks,
Venus
