Here's what I wanted to suggest to committee members.
The bells should ring at 8:00 p.m., but we know the vote is at 8:30 p.m. So I was going to ask all members if they wanted to continue the meeting for about 15 minutes and stop around 8:15 p.m. so that we could use our cellphones to vote.
I would like the committee's consent, but I was planning to do that as soon as the bells ring. It could be 8:00 p.m. or 8:05 p.m. The clerk will notify me as soon as the bells ring, and I will seek the consent of all committee members to that effect.
