Among the agenda items, one stood out: Item 55, which had been flagged for further discussion by Commissioners Ramsey and Briones. Recognizing the importance of a thorough dialogue, the court decided to postpone this item until the next meeting on May 8, ensuring that all voices could be heard.

The motion carried with a vote of 4-0, reflecting a collaborative spirit among the commissioners.

As the meeting wrapped up just a minute later, at 10:07 AM, the court adjourned, leaving behind a sense of accomplishment and a commitment to revisit the important discussions in the coming weeks. The day ended on a positive note, with commissioners exchanging pleasantries and wishing each other well, ready to tackle the challenges ahead.
