McGOVERN: I just want to be clear then,1 this matters going to be carried to our next regular2 meeting, which is April 15, but I want the public to be3 aware that our meeting originally for our regular4 meeting was April 1, but it conflicted with Passover, so5 when we looked up the scheduling, that's why there's6 going to be a revision of our regular schedule. That's7 why our next regular meeting isn't until April 15 and8 our regular meetings, when we're not dealing with this9 application are on zoom. So we are going to be on zoom10 on April 15 at 7:30 PM. And this will just be on this11 calendar to be carried to our next regular meeting in12 May, which will also be on zoom, and then it'll be13 announced when it's actually going to be put down for in14 person meeting, whether it's at the June regular15 meeting, which will then be converted to in person, or16 if it's going to be at a special meeting in June.17 Now, I want to add one more thing. Should18 the applicant require more time in terms of we're close19 to working out a potential other exit or we need more20 time for this, but we're close and they need a month,21 another month, if they write a letter to the board Chair22 that would be publically put on the agenda, the board23 would consider that. Correct?24 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Absolutely.25 134 MS. McGOVERN: So that the public would know1 that as well. So they're is hopefully in two months but2 if the applicant requires more time the board will3 consider that.4 MR. AFRAN: One quick question. Could CME,5 if CME is getting documentation from the applicant could6 CME make sure to send it to me for the benefit of zoom7 -- if CME's getting any of this new documentation from8 the applicant, could CME make sure to send it to me9 because in the past we haven't always gotten it. If it10 goes to Ms. McGovern I know you'll send it to me.11 MS. McGOVERN: It'll be sent to both of us12 and I'll make sure you get it.13 MR. AFRAN: Thank you very much.14 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Okay. We would like to15 thank the applicant, Mr. Afran, the public, the people16 on zoom.17 (Hearing concludes at 10:00 PM.)18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 135 C E R T I F I C A T E1 I, ERIC S.
