[1:06] uh let's see [Applause]

[1:11] what's up we're good oh okay

[1:21] all right uh Jerry Jeter uh you would like to speak yes

[1:31] I was told by my wife yes sir

[1:38] [Applause] I'll tell you my name my name is

[1:42] 23 here to 24 years and I lived down here on 212 Conference Street which is

[1:49] uh 275 North

[1:53] and uh I'm just gonna read instead of trying to tell you what I've got real

[1:58] name 20 years ago we were asked to sign a petition

[2:04] to vote beer and wine into coming to Texas they said that part of the money

[2:10] they collected from taxes would be set aside for a maintenance on comes for

[2:19] coming streams where's the money

[2:23] straight to him and fixed in 17 years now second

[2:29] question is of course I said I lived on 212 Commerce Street uh speed limit in

[2:36] front of my house 30 miles now nine out of probably 12 of the vehicles

[2:42] that go by there are doing way more than 30 miles now

[2:48] I was standing in front of my house this morning I just drank some seeds out

[2:52] front of it and uh I counted the cars and come back while I was out there

[2:57] watering my grass there was 12. and now I know I can tell you were speeding and

[3:04] I don't understand why the police force can't do anything of the ideas now I was

[3:13] telling and I'm getting flown away from what I've got wrote here but I was told

[3:16] years ago of course there was a different layer

[3:20] there's something different back then the police started uh sitting down by

[3:26] the baseball field that's about 200 yards from us down the road

[3:31] and the mayor at that time had to uh pull them out

[3:37] because they were wrapping too many tickets to the wrong people

[3:43] and I'm talking about I'm not talking about people like me

[3:47] I'm talking about people uh that we're very wealthy uh that had uh pretentious

[3:54] jobs here in Columbia and uh they weren't allowed to go back

[3:58] down there anymore well I talked some of our police force I think we have a

[4:04] fantastic force myself I admit I don't have any offers with officers where but

[4:09] I've met four of them and they're all they're helpful uh they're very polite

[4:18] and I think they do a fantastic job the chief I used to go to Commerce City and

[4:23] met him used to work out together but I had to quit going because I got COPD and

[4:28] when in fact maybe kid I had to go to go but uh I've talked to them about this

[4:34] problem about the Spears and I asked one of one of the officers of the day

[4:40] can you uh yeah I can Embry they have a big sign as you're going into Emery into

[4:47] town floor and it's flashed can't tell you how fast you're going and it tells

[4:52] you what the speed limit is and he said the city will come you couldn't afford

[4:55] one of those sites that they're very very expensive so every time I asked him

[5:00] I said what can I do and he got his own pamphlet out and uh he said what you

[5:06] what's your name what's your address I'd already told him a knife anymore and I

[5:10] told him he said will you give me a permission to sit in your driveway I

[5:14] said you got it good and I said I've got Neighbors on both

[5:18] sides I said if you ask them the same thing they ordered it too and I think I

[5:24] run out of time yes sir yes sir I didn't stick to the script but I was all about

[5:30] my last question is when you have somebody like me standing

[5:35] up in front of it how long is it before I can see any

[5:39] results of what I've told you guys today I mean is there

[5:45] do y'all have a lot of meetings on it or uh

[5:49] I was so this was your last meeting so I might need to be addressing her

[5:55] uh is it months is years

[6:03] supposed to be going through the roads but it's not we don't even have a road

[6:08] crew the car well we have two water gas but

[6:13] no Road through and I saw my wife takes me I talked to me

[6:19] it's kind of hard stuff all right thank you sir thank you

[6:24] um Casey are you you got a presentation

[6:28] though she I do but do you want to speak uh no okay

[6:34] um Stephen

[6:38] oh okay um

[6:42] Michael Barrel yes and I've been to several meetings

[6:45] since I first got here the very first one was when uh I guess the police chief

[6:51] was trying to be removed from office in a real good turnout everyone especially

[6:56] uh you come in on the turnout and I enjoy I enjoy the city I think he has a

[7:02] lot of uh it's a diamond picker up as a mission Amber and I want to thank all of

[7:08] the council members because of their Devotion to their own time

[7:12] receiving the best for the town and Amber good luck with your mayorship

[7:18] and you stepped up about 10 notches when I talked superintendent over in school

[7:23] said you actually bridged over there you went over there to their meeting and

[7:27] that's that they told them the city is going to be on their side and everyone

[7:30] there's no more if possible because the students and children are our future in

[7:34] this town you know that I'm going to announce that I'm not going

[7:38] to be in this County longer for several reasons one of them is because of the

[7:41] secretary right here found out that she has behind other

[7:47] people's backs or unknowing to anybody else's requested a police officer to

[7:51] find code of violations for me to get out of town

[7:54] is that true Miss Hector

[7:59] Mr secretary I don't think you're supposed to call him

[8:05] she can be but if she wants nope but I guess we'll have to leave that to the

[8:09] attorneys because I'd have several but I'm very upset about it I thought it was

[8:13] very rude and and how could a person that comes here with no bad intentions

[8:17] in this town none whatsoever but to try to help

[8:21] somebody turn around and backstret like that I'm sorry but that dog don't hunt

[8:25] in my world I'm a man of faith I'm a man that I believe in other people and treat

[8:30] people like she said like the father good father says do unto the thyself as

[8:34] you do to your neighbor come on it's not right

[8:39] and then and I can verify that and confirm it if we have to we'll go Court

[8:42] over because that's the definition of character and I don't like it in this

[8:46] town if this town cannot pull its see beyond the nose on their face it

[8:52] starts showing some consideration she's rude when I go to the office she's

[8:56] because she's very poignant you've got to go do this this and this well why

[8:59] don't you smile sometimes you know be a civil servant

[9:03] instead of a woman that's got a special agenda I don't know what it is and I

[9:07] really don't care because she's a civil servant she works for Discount she

[9:11] actually works for all y'all and I'd pay attention to that because I

[9:14] think she's really taking advantage of yourself in this channel thank you very

[9:18] much for your time thank you sir

[9:25] Cheryl you want to speak on some items okay

[9:32] mommy yeah I'm gonna say something real quick

[9:39] okay

[9:43] been here since what 2002 but okay I've been here a while all right

[9:50] I've got some concerns and I've got one that's probably gonna

[9:55] go a long line because this gentleman right here okay

[9:59] I had my wife sent two emails looking for a package

[10:04] okay trying to get this package these two

[10:08] emails one percent at 806 A.M okay

[10:12] come on 9 26. on 10 11. still don't have a pack

[10:18] of this month October I like to look at the numbers I like to

[10:23] go through the numbers Doug you know this

[10:27] okay still can't get them no reply nothing

[10:31] okay that's public information all right you can't withhold public

[10:38] information and if it's intentional then we got a

[10:43] problem in history and we need to do something about it

[10:46] okay at this point should this reoccur again because I

[10:52] haven't document it then I'm going to be forced to go to the Attorney General's

[10:56] office over withholding and public information

[11:00] all right we've got an ordinance out here that y'all are looking at on on the

[11:04] curfew 9.1

[11:09] we have anything behind it anything that backs anything up

[11:13] that says we need this ordinance back in or is this something else that's put

[11:17] into place because we won't take care of our water makers

[11:22] I'm still talking to the same people that are out there in the public

[11:27] that still their water meters aren't working

[11:31] and I'd be willing to bet we're somewhere in the neighborhood of at

[11:34] least I don't believe conservative with this number at least 25 to 30 percent

[11:40] now we're in a financial fine or if we're running on this you strain

[11:46] budget then we probably need to be looking at that making sure that we're

[11:50] getting the right charges and the right income that's coming in rather than

[11:53] doing average or minimum billing

[11:58] and that's all we've got all right thank you

[12:01] um [Applause]

[12:04] [Music]

[12:10] okay so along with that so I know that there's an ordinance that we have in

[12:15] place for delinquent water accounts for collection that may be something that

[12:19] y'all may want to look into for either the old final bills or anything

[12:24] um I do believe that we can run a report as to how many bills are either sitting

[12:29] in an old file or a final status hire a collection agency to be able to go yes I

[12:35] know what the amount of money is to be able to help they skip Trace to hold and

[12:41] all of that that's just kind of a suggestion that I would have

[12:46] all right thank you

[12:50] um Angela did you want to speak yeah I know you know I

[13:00] asked about the water winners that aren't working

[13:03] because as council members you know appreciate the time that y'all give and

[13:07] take away from your family but as Citizens we also expect y'all to have a

[13:12] business mind

[13:15] you've got to uh you know figure figure out y'all's

[13:20] ability you know and I'm not being ugly to your

[13:25] you know workers outside but it takes a business mind to sit up on Council

[13:31] and I just really wish that y'all would use a business mind on the billing

[13:38] because billing is what I need full time for a job and at any time I can tell my

[13:43] doctor what we have out there Penny because if we're going to continue

[13:47] average billing I mean it's it's hideous that you might as well let that whole

[13:52] town do it or y'all don't care you know

[13:57] because my mother-in-law is one of them and you know we begged we masked and we

[14:03] begged and we don't know what else to do I mean it may not be a priority to y'all

[14:08] but I can take it from a billing aspect that's what you're missing money is that

[14:13] you get really used for your budget and that's all I have to say all right

[14:19] thank you

[14:22] all right on item five Council comments uh this is probably my last meeting to

[14:30] conduct and uh I guess I've been involved in this about 10 years three

[14:36] and a half years as mayor some may agree with what I've done or or disagreed it's

[14:43] questionable but I've learned a lot through this

[14:47] experience it's been a great experience for me and I just feel like it's time

[14:52] for me to move on and I wish the city the best of luck as uh as they move

[14:58] forward anybody else got any comments

[15:02] yeah last question yes sir I don't know but how do they go about reading the

[15:08] water fingers it's a radio read type system that's not on the agenda so I

[15:13] can't really discuss it but it's a they don't come out

[15:49] waiter and I was just curious how they were being read I think we can

[15:55] discuss that after the meeting if you like all right are you coming tonight

[15:59] one two to open it up and uh swear um I would like to say um thank you for

[16:07] the time that you put in because I mean it is time out of our lives with our

[16:12] family times that we can be sitting at home I work all day and my husband's at

[16:16] home and I'm here you know so I can't imagine the time that you've had to

[16:21] spend up here away from your family so it is like we are devoting our time

[16:26] so thank you for that yes thank you thank you Mr Mayor again thank you for

[16:33] your community service I know it's a devotion of your heart to them and

[16:38] you've done the best of what you've got and you just mentioned it actually last

[16:41] week last meeting and that great I mean I imagine it was a real mess and you got

[16:46] it and I imagine now you're passing the torture that young man to your left and

[16:50] I imagine she's going to do a little better I just hope it's a tick better

[16:53] than what it was when I got it foreign

[17:08] I do want to let you know that I'm the one after the curfew thing because we've

[17:14] had some kids swim around the yard at 130 degrees so it's not a we'll discuss

[17:17] it at that time but we'll discuss it at that time

[17:21] um

[17:32] I'm not all about those prayer farewell parties

[17:38] um does anybody else have any comments oh there's some things under there that

[17:43] need to be read oh uh November the 11th City Hall will

[17:48] be closed and observation of Veterans Day

[17:51] uh change of the regular city council meeting from the 2nd of November to uh

[17:58] from the second to the third Tuesday which will be November the 5th because

[18:03] of the huh

[18:08] uh because of uh that second Tuesday is election day and so the chambers will be

[18:16] occupied with voting and uh

[18:20] then we also will need to discuss the holiday gathering for the Thanksgiving

[18:25] and Christmas and I think that could probably be done in the November meeting

[18:30] so

[18:33] um which I know I'm not part of this but it's going to be the 15th at how many

[18:38] weeks until the Thanksgiving one not not trying to tell you how to do

[18:44] your job but I'm like wait a minute

[18:48] we'll be close to Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving yes we'll work the

[18:52] Wednesday would you like to have a lunch everybody

[18:56] bring something Wednesday um

[19:03] there's several people that will be out of the office on Wednesday before

[19:07] Thanksgiving Day

[19:12] yeah

[19:24] we can discuss it next meeting is that what you want to do oh no I'm just

[19:28] saying there's a couple people out on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so

[19:33] whatever whatever date you all want to do anything I think probably is going to

[19:37] work but it's possibly never going to work for everybody

[19:41] so whatever it is what if we did it the Friday before that week

[19:47] which would be what the 17th or the 18th no before before

[19:54] Friday before Thanksgiving Friday that'll be the 18th oh sorry would that

[20:02] people would still be there that week right yes okay so we

[20:08] kind of have it like right before everybody gets off

[20:11] then they're leaving for the week or whatever so that sounds good to me

[20:16] everybody bring something if you're gonna have more than two council members

[20:21] or friends that you'll need to post yeah so just make sure that

[20:26] and that's life no that's going to be what day the 80

[20:31] s would y'all prefer lunch or would you prefer like before we close no I think

[20:37] lunch foreign

[20:39] okay

[20:47] I think lunch might be better I think so

[20:52] [Music] and of course yellow we're going to stop

[20:58] by and participate four days in yeah

[21:10] do you want to discuss uh Christmas or you want to wait till the November

[21:14] meeting oh gosh hey what do you want to uh discuss Christmas or you want to wait

[21:23] all right moving on to the consent agenda and Department reports you have

[21:28] that in your packet I'll make a motion to approve the

[21:34] content agenda a second been properly moved and

[21:37] seconded that we approved the consent agenda Amber how do you vote Wayne yes

[21:43] Allie yes and Catherine yes

[21:47] [Applause] moving on to

[21:51] uh we're good at this time it is is there any possibility we can move this

[21:57] to the end the executive session we could

[22:01] and if would that be a problem for you I would recommend it okay okay we'll move

[22:07] the executive session to the end of the meeting all right moving into Old

[22:11] business uh

[22:14] repeal ordinance uh number 72-6 ordinance providing and filling

[22:20] office of Judge is the judge didn't show up did she she's sick

[22:35] [Music] all right uh do you want to go ahead and

[22:39] move forward with this or you want to wait till the next meeting on the judge

[22:43] I think we should wait okay all right I got that interested now

[22:50] with the ornaments that's something that's really up to you

[22:54] I mean you want to do it now so that maybe it'll be ready for when she's here

[22:58] or play it all the time [Applause]

[23:03] okay it's it's the ordinance is specific to her if you look to yours yeah if you

[23:10] look through your it's a blank spot not very specific a herds specific to who

[23:13] are you going to appoint versus I think there are two different options

[23:19] that what they wanted to chat with you about an executive session so can we

[23:24] move that to the negative or something it's already an executive session so

[23:30] we're to the end

[23:33] no no the ordinance is in all business the ordinance is an old business because

[23:39] it's a that you all have talked about have appointed a judge right we just

[23:44] don't have a position for the associate judge which is what what we all three

[23:48] talk about so that way it covers the associated whatever it's all up to him

[23:53] he's in charge of meeting so however he wants to do well if we're going to have

[23:57] to wait to vote on this once we after executive session

[30:07] council repealing or replacing outdated ordinances we have anything on that here

[30:13] you go

[30:25] there's still everything highlighted is still like a work in progress and all

[30:31] the rest of it shows whether they're good we think they need work or what it

[30:35] what is not good to go and the reason why that's pretty simple

[30:41] the painters book is

[30:47] this this is all the PD stuff okay if that works for me I know you haven't

[30:52] seen this place into the ones that were still in

[30:57] progress Satan progress on

[31:02] do we need any action on this [Applause]

[31:06] I think it may take time for people to look over and read and I think they need

[31:09] to digest it yeah all right

[31:14] thank you eight five

[31:19] um remove policy requirement second signature win cash is receiving

[31:24] municipal court and or and or other places of business within the city

[31:30] this is kind of a it's hard being as short staffed as we

[31:35] are to pull somebody up to make it recount the money pull them away

[31:42] from what they're working on and recount the money yes Miss reader

[31:48] sure

[31:52] [Music]

[31:57] City Hall water department and quarter for some reason it just got put into

[32:03] court that I'm supposed to have two signatures

[32:07] if and when I take in cash for some reason

[32:12] in the past before I was employed here maybe they weren't on the up and up but

[32:18] I've been here for two and a half years and at one point I was the only employee

[32:23] here for both sides and nobody worried about

[32:27] me taking cash and when this went into place Doug came

[32:32] and talked to me and Ryan came and talked to me

[32:39] I needed somebody to double check my work that I wasn't stealing from the

[32:45] city so I went along with it all year

[32:50] so I'm glad that y'all are removing this I have complied

[32:56] didn't say anything else but sometimes whenever things get put in

[33:01] place we don't always think things through

[33:05] so I'm glad that y'all are removing this thank you

[33:10] it hasn't been removed yet it's just up for discussion to considering the whole

[33:14] thing the whole thing is now I'm just saying

[33:19] you're assuming that it's going to get voted on it and it very well possibly

[33:23] could I'm just saying

[33:27] all year so all right we're also we're also bonded

[33:34] absolutely right so there's been some things that have changed in the process

[33:39] is there any any other discussion on this

[33:42] now like she said we have been buying it since April so

[33:46] not that that changes the trustworthiness of being in the

[33:49] employees but it's all right okay

[34:42] being 5'49 against motion series moving on to 8-6 uh any ordinances or

[34:48] resolutions with a dollar fine must be published in the Sulfur Springs

[34:54] news telegram as well as posted on the city website I don't know what this is

[34:59] about every year okay here uh you have to

[35:05] assign who's going to be the city's newspaper and of course we post that on

[35:11] the website yeah that's the name of it yeah the the

[35:17] newspaper is making that the official paper of Cumby that's in a new business

[35:22] this is oh sorry thank you yeah yeah no this

[35:27] this actually has been you all have asked because thank you because we have

[35:33] been asked to research um if ordinances are resolutions with the dollar fine had

[35:37] to be published we looked that up and I've got the code and everything if you

[35:42] need the code but yes anything any ordinance or resolution within the city

[35:46] it could be or anywhere else if it has a fine attached to it that resolution must

[35:52] be not posted an entirety but the ordinance number with the uh

[35:59] with the information on what it covers and has to be posted in the newspaper

[36:05] and that's our and that's all for spring support company and also as we've posted

[36:09] on the website all of our ordinances are almost up to date on the website so

[36:13] we're getting closer to that once the coordinates and resolution

[36:18] committee is through we will probably repost all of them you know and just a

[36:23] list of ordinance XYZ and followed by what it covers and the fine amount just

[36:28] so that we're covered in everything okay that's just for discussion we were

[36:34] asked to research that okay very good thank you for the information

[36:39] um Cheryl you had that down

[36:43] I brought it with me okay all right very good

[36:48] um moving on to new business 9-1 ordinance uh

[36:55] 2012-6 is no longer in effect with regard to the curfew for minors

[37:00] discussion to renew this ordinance for three years this is not automatically

[37:06] renewed okay so perfect ordinance was

[37:11] established in 2012 automatically expired in 2015. myself I've experienced

[37:18] lots of underage kids running down Frisco at 1 30 in the morning and I've

[37:22] heard several complaints so I looked into it we had to review and give

[37:29] reasons so I'm going to request a PD stats from the county for us locally and

[37:38] probably take a listen to the next meeting so we can actually review it and

[37:42] revise it because the current ordinance is drawn up for the sake of games

[37:46] violence yeah which we don't have gang violence

[37:50] [Applause] the house beneficial to the town for one

[37:57] is the vandalism that's happened at the park on numerous occasions to the

[38:01] bathrooms that's the number one thing we have had several citizens just down

[38:09] Frisco and the side streets had weapons stolen out of their vehicles overnights

[38:13] and out of their homes are juvenile because I mean we just had

[38:18] a naked woman hanging up on the police building out over there that's also good

[38:23] for Halloween

[38:33] if she's on weekly call around a lot of times

[38:38] be in an emergency working on cash we got

[38:42] people that are clients that are going to show up and if I send her out there

[38:47] ahead of me because I moved all of us over she does now yeah and she gets

[38:52] stopped and gets a ticket for being out

[38:56] okay what are we gonna do there I mean that's I would I wouldn't want to

[39:00] specifically for like driving if I mean people have to get places they work

[39:04] overnight jobs I mean this I would want it specifically for a group of boys

[39:09] running around the middle of Frisco I've not looked at this ordinance but does it

[39:14] have an age limit it does it's like yeah and he said you can do one like 18 and

[39:20] under 17 under underways 23 or 16 and then and it's like 10 p.m on school

[39:26] nights and 11 p.m on weekends but it wouldn't be for like purposes of

[39:32] driving because understand emergencies happen they have to leave you have to go

[39:35] pick people up to one or two o'clock in the morning I

[39:40] mean that's my concern and I got multiple kids over there

[39:44] I mean we did a lot of Choke out so well we gotta drive it home let me what

[39:50] happened to the street life girl when I was growing up street lights come on you

[39:53] went home everybody hear about it knows what it's

[39:58] about I mean it's crazy um council members since they all talk

[40:04] to your community if they if y'all hear that there's problems with underage kids

[40:10] from Industries whatever I'm not talking about driving okay

[40:13] [Music] please have or if y'all see it call in

[40:18] to dispatch okay because normally towers are going to be until 2 A.M so

[40:25] um when you call into dispatch the dispatch our officers not only that

[40:29] there's a call log and that's what I told Amber that we need we need the call

[40:34] logs for dispatch okay if you call of PD's uh cell phone number guess what

[40:40] that's not monitoring right that is not a stat okay so if you call cheese and

[40:46] say hey there's somebody out here I don't know whatever that is not being

[40:51] called again so therefore that is not a stack so if you are going to need stats

[40:56] so and also a police officer will not be called out unless except through

[41:01] dispatch that's crazy that's correct okay so let's use it for for this to say

[41:07] then you need to call them into dispatch so whoever if y'all talk to people in

[41:12] the community and you're writing my random number so you'll have it or put

[41:16] it in your phone so you can get it to them is that is that on our website the

[41:20] dispatch number um the name for Hawkins County it is

[41:24] yeah it's automated and it's like two for dispatch so it go straight

[41:28] [Music]

[41:33] for that they shouldn't call 9-1-1 right they should just call the dispatch

[41:38] .com

[41:41] right yeah so it's okay in an American gray area but generally

[41:48] speaking for something I mean we don't have a triple Death Around I mean

[41:51] generally speaking for any kind of 911 related activity that's not an immediate

[41:55] conversion okay there's some great rooms but typically it's the same people who

[42:00] answer non-emergency calls over there and I can say this thing as assistant

[42:04] with the current Police Department stuff that y'all have put together if you're

[42:09] thinking about implementing something like this like an ornaments

[42:14] I have the utmost of relief knowing that you have

[42:21] the officers that you do on staff now because they're very compassionate

[42:25] they're not aggressive they're not harmful to people and so I want to thank

[42:29] the police stuff that y'all have for you to implement the organs it might not be

[42:34] a big deal for you but coming from a parent who's has a son that has been in

[42:40] trouble it's a relief knowing that if they take

[42:45] him somewhere we don't have to fear his life like we did in the past

[42:50] if you look under the old ordinance uh under B and C it's specifically lists

[42:56] offenses that see as defenses which certainly covers a minor on an errand in

[43:03] the direction of the parent motor vehicle involved in Interstate travel

[43:07] engaged in employment activity involved in an emergency so here contingency is

[43:13] set out also that do not that should not Encompass the minorities they

[43:19] were out okay but of course that would be very popular

[43:24] with paragraph all right so we're gonna we're gonna try

[43:29] to get more uh research information data on this okay so we'll move on to 9-2 get

[43:35] some stats and support right before we re-establish it exactly all right moving

[43:41] on to nine two ordinance uh

[43:45] 2022-10-023 Texas uh statute section

[43:51] 2051.043 and 44 adopt a Sulfur Springs news

[43:56] Sulfur Springs news telegram as our official newspaper

[44:01] city has to have an official newspaper where we publish things that are we are

[44:06] required to publish and that's all the paper in the county we

[44:09] adopted every year once a year yes okay I make a motion to adopt

[44:17] Sulfur Springs news telegram as the official City newspaper and ordinance oh

[44:22] Dash 2022-10-023

[44:37] Duckworth how do you vote Yes Amber yes Wayne yes Allie yes and Catherine Dean

[44:44] 549 against motion care moving on to 9-3 uh resolution

[44:59] with the approval by the mayor mayor pro team uh we're running into some issues

[45:04] on the first and Frisco Street uh the expenditures are getting higher than

[45:10] what we had projected and so we just need that Latitude to be able to move

[45:15] forward and that's because we need to get this project completed

[45:19] and that just following up into the states and the ordinance you all have a

[45:24] management company that helps right public management so everything has to

[45:29] go through public managers prior to use of the funds that it's pre-approved and

[45:35] that it fits and meets the requirements set up under Arc which is American

[45:40] Recovery and it's lengthy yeah materials labor like it has to be and they they

[45:46] can print it they keep track of everything they follow all the reports

[45:49] for so that we don't have to do that and uh they're they're they do an

[45:53] outstanding job so I'll entertain a motion
