The Code of Conduct for advisory bodies (coca) item 21 transcription update

<description>
The Code of Conduct for Advisory Bodies web site has just been updated with transcription fixes after finding some issues during proofreading for a podcast release.  We have corrected these errors.  If you have downloaded braille copies of item 21, the JRN advises patrons to get a new copy of the appropriate BRF you downloaded at www.jaredrimer.com/coca.  Thank you for your continued support on the COCA project we've been working on for the past week.

<description>
This is an update about the web site in general.  1.  We created a Code of Conduct for Advisory Bodies page shortened to COCA.  This page will talk about the history of what this document is, and allow people to download copies in EBAE, UEB, plain text (item 21 and the code itself) as well as the original PDF documents.  2.  The JRN has also moved Ben's notice from the home page to a memorials and special notices page so that the home page only has current content.  These new resources are available through the updated links navigation on each page of the site, and the updates are in the section dealing with the main web page. 3.  Finally, you'll see a navigational aid I call "You Are Here."  This aid can be used should something break.  Send that to me, or reference its text  when  you find something that's broken.  Thanks for reading, have a great day!

The AAC page is getting updated by removing older meeting packages and older reports for February and March.  If a link is broken to something still linked to the page, please use the contact info on the web site to contact Jared and tell him what page you were on and what you were expecting.  If the document is still available, Jared can provide it to you as an attached file.  Let him know what format you need whether print, braille, and if braille what size file and format whether EBAE or UEB.  The June AAC package is also being made available with this update with PDF, Word, UEB and EBAE braille.  Thank you for your time, and thanks for reading!

<description>
Podcasts will be released within the hour for both SFV and PSAC which will go through the agenda packages of both podcasts.  We will then push up the joining instructions to the SFV after the second podcast is released.  At 6 PM, PSAC will get its two day podcast release, and at 6:30 the SFV will get its one day notice.  We try to push podcasts within two days of meeting time talking about the packages and potentially what to watch for.

<description>
We have pushed out an update with the San Fernando Service Council agenda package which has 10 items this time including elections of chair and vice chair for FY 27 and other regular updates.  The agenda is available in PDF, English American Braille and Unified English Braille.  All files in braille are 40 cell.  If you need another format, contact me through the website by Tuesday evening to request it.  I can provide 30 cell or either format.  We are following EBAE rules as we only use one formatting file to do the conversion in to both languages.

We have pushed out a web site update clarifying some terminology of committees and their names throughout the site.  While some people may be familiar with one name, Metro may call the committees other names.  Each official page that talks about a committee was updated with this fact.  

Also, the Board Of Directors (Board) and the Operations Committee (operations, safety and customer experience) will not meet in June due to the world cup.  These pages specifically have notices on them, but I'll mention it here since I'm updating.

My podcast, called "A Day in the Life of Jared at L.A. Metro" has released a podcast which gives you a reading of the board agenda for those who can't read print or braille.  Also, I talk about the new RSS option as a small web site update.  The web site here at jaredrimer.com will be updated with information on joining the board meeting come Thursday morning, so stay tuned to the board page for that.  Welcome all new subscribers to the podcast!  This is the first push since the podcast's inception.
