[1:32] » All right. Is there anybody here wishing
to address the board that's not
[1:35] currently on the agenda? Do we need to
make the motion to adjust the agenda?
[1:42] That's going to do it. Thanks. Okay.
All right. If not, uh, I'll make a
[1:47] motion to change the agenda or add an
item to agenda. Add the sewer rehab
[1:52] change order
to new business.
[1:56] If I get a second on that second,
[2:03] the first

chief.
[3:26] » Yes. So, just [clears throat] want to
make everybody aware this is probably
[3:29] going to be my last time here for a
board meeting. Uh, over the last two
[3:33] months, I've been in the employment
process with another agency and I
[3:38] accepted the job. It's a conditional job
offer about two weeks ago. I don't know
[3:44] my official start date, but more than
likely probably September the second.
[3:52] I appreciate everybody for giving me
this opportunity.
[3:56] Appreciate you.
>> Thank you. We appreciate you.
[3:59] » Great job.
>> Thank you.
[4:06] » All right. Moving on to fire. Chief.
>> Yes. We had a
[4:11] uh TVA
uh give us $1,000 for a grant to match a
[4:17] BEC grant. So, at the end of it, we're
going to get around $2,000.
[4:23] uh by the end of the next month we'll
get the rest of it. So uh that was
[4:27] pretty good.
>> Thank you.
[4:33] Any questions?
[4:37] » All right, moving on to public works.
Okay.
[4:41] » Uh the patches got complete where the
trailer moving company to work main
[4:45] street. Uh the guys already paid the
bill. Um, I had some other areas looked
[4:52] at with some complaints. I'm supposed to
be getting some more estimates
[4:57] that they were supposed to get with me
earlier this week and I still haven't
[4:59] heard anything from them. So, I've only
got one estimate so far from a company.
[5:03] I'm going to wait till I get some more
to share those with you.
[5:08] » What road was that area?
>> It was in North Park Circle and Husville
[5:13] Lane. Okay.
And the clear well is up. It's complete.
[5:20] Uh it's scheduled to be disinfected on
the 17th. And when that's all good,
[5:26] we'll be able to put it in service.
[5:30] All I got.
Any questions.
[5:39] » All right. I'll entertain a motion to
pass the consent agenda items.
[5:43] » Make a motion. I'll second.
[5:51] » Alderman Myers.
>> Hi.
[5:52] » Alderman Oddinger.
>> Yes.
[5:54] » Alderman Peton.
>> Hi.
[5:55] » Alderman Roland.
>> Hi.
[6:02] » All right. Uh, no phone communications.
Uh, attorney
[6:07] attorney mains could not be here
tonight. So, we'll move on to engineers.
[6:12] » Jeff stole my phone.
uh ARP project still uh moving along.
[6:19] We're in uh communications with EY grand
administrators uh for the ARPA money
[6:26] making sure that we're within timelines
and hidden budgets and stuff. Uh sewer
[6:30] rehab is pretty well wrapped up. Um I
think there's a couple driveway patches
[6:36] to be done. Um
and then the uh sewer pump station is
[6:43] online as of think what they pull plug
last Thursday.
[6:48] » So it's online. I just stopped by there
today to make sure that the manual
[6:52] diversion is doing well. Uh so that pump
station's online uh clear well as Jeff
[6:58] said will be online next week. Um, both
of those are pretty much just waiting on
[7:03] finishing touches, getting penc. So, a
lot of projects are wrapping up for you
[7:08] guys. Um,
and
[7:13] some may not be exactly on time, but
they're on budget.
[7:19] That's it.
>> Two questions.
[7:25] Everything is looking to be spent by
September 30th, right? All
[7:40] right. Uh, the planning commission
meeting did not meet tonight. No quorum.
[7:44] We'll move on to parks rec. The
bathrooms are complete. Has the lady
[7:50] with our grants coming inspected and
everything's $9. She'll be getting the
[7:53] money soon.
Uh, and we're still looking at the movie
[7:58] night October 23rd. That's a Friday,
which there's a ball game, but it's at
[8:02] off Denise. So,
that a lot of people might not make that
[8:06] trick. So, come to the park and watch
Hocus Pocus. Bring your chair, bring
[8:13] your blanket, and bring some money to
buy some popcorn.
[8:18] But movies free
[8:23] in the field the
>> Well, we're gonna we're gonna meet next
[8:27] the week before September 1st and see
what we think.
[8:32] Talk with Joshua now. He'll just there's
no way to cut some of the lights off,
[8:38] but they may be able to to add some
controls to the tops of the lights so
[8:42] you can do it with the phone and shut
them off for a while. But I don't know
[8:46] how much that is. We'll have to wait on
that. So, the backup plan is to do it
[8:50] underneath the shed. It'll be dark
enough. That's why we're going the first
[8:53] to make sure.
[9:00] All right. Uh,
move on to new businesses.
[9:07] » Alman Rowan has a statement.
>> Yes, Mayor Arwin, members of the board,
[9:12] and the citizens of Decar. Um, tonight I
speak to you not only as an alderman,
[9:17] but as someone who believes I was denied
fairness, transparency, and due process
[9:22] by the very people entrusted to uphold
them. The handling of the grievance by
[9:27] Mayor Irwin fired against me, filed
against me, demonstrates the disturbing
[9:31] pattern of unequal treatment,
withholding of information, selective
[9:36] disclosure, and disregard for town
procedures. Mayor Irwin, on Tuesday, May
[9:42] 5th, I directly asked you for a copy of
the griev grievance filed against me.
[9:47] You refused to provide it. At that time,
you and reporter Smith had already been
[9:52] in possession of this grievance for 15
days. 15 days. I was forced to submit a
[9:58] public records request just to see what
the accusations were being made against
[10:02] me. Even worse, the withdrawal letter
was withheld from me for 31 days. Not
[10:09] one day, not one week, 31 days. For 31
days, that letter existed while I was
[10:15] left in the dark. For 31 days, my name
continued to appear on agendas and
[10:21] meetings and workshops, on Facebook, and
in the local newspaper. For 31 days,
[10:27] people were allowed to believe this
grievance was still active, still
[10:30] unresolved, and still legitimate, even
though the document should have ended
[10:35] with already in your possession. For 31
days, the truth sat hidden while my
[10:40] reputation was being questioned in
public.
[10:44] When I submitted a public information
request and contacted reporter Smith,
[10:49] she told me she did not have the
withdrawal letter, that the mayor had
[10:52] it, and attorney mains would need to be
asked before it could be released to me.
[10:57] That means the letter was not misplaced,
it was not forgotten, it was controlled,
[11:01] and it was withheld. And during that
31-day period, Mayor Irwin, you
[11:06] instructed attorney Mains to make an
offer to me through my attorney. This
[11:10] occurred on Monday, May 25th. If I
apologize and agree to attempt to
[11:15] refrain from the actions complained of,
moving forward with an investigation
[11:21] would be taken off the table. That was 5
days after the withdrawal letter had
[11:25] been in your possession. In other words,
the matter was still being used as
[11:29] leverage against me. But here's the
truth. Mayor Irwin and Attorney Mains
[11:35] did not follow procedures required by
town ordinance 4-210.
[11:39] At no point did the mayor ask me to sit
down and resolve the grievance. At no
[11:44] point did the mayor ask for my version
of the the events. No evidence was
[11:49] gathered. No interviews were conducted.
I have been judged without due process.
[11:54] Many of you decided guilt before facts.
You turned procedure into politics.
[12:00] I needed to hire my own attorney when I
saw how weak the grievance was, how the
[12:04] mayor had hidden it from me, and how m
how mayor Irwin had conducted himself
[12:09] towards me. One example of this was at
the April budget workshop. I suggested
[12:15] cutting expenses, and Alderman Meyers
threw his pencil and name plate off the
[12:19] table, yelled at me, and I quote, "I
will pay the damn money out of my own
[12:24] pocket." The mayor didn't address
Alderman Myers's behavior. Instead, he
[12:28] yelled at me.
This grievance was a witch hunt. It was
[12:33] never about ethics or conduct. It was
about control, retaliation, and
[12:38] silencing someone who dared to speak up.
Chief Chief Chris admitted he fired
[12:44] filed a grievance because he was angry
with my husband, Monty Roland, the
[12:48] former police chief. The the grievance
contains statements about me being my
[12:52] husband that are false and damaging to
our reputation.
[12:56] Rather than addressing a legitimate town
or workplace issue, the mayor and
[13:01] attorney decide to turn a personal
dispute into an official town matter.
[13:06] Chief Ratcliff's supplemental grief
grievance doesn't deserve mentioning.
[13:10] The facts are wrong. It was filed 6
months after the incident. This was
[13:14] retaliation.
Everyone got to hear the audio of my
[13:18] rant to Chief Ratcliffe about the way a
member of his department acted towards
[13:22] me because it was sent to everyone on
the email list and not just the
[13:26] alderman. I asked for the video of this
email incident to be emailed out to all
[13:30] the alderman. It wasn't done.
My grievance against Mr. O'Daniel was
[13:36] never investigated by Mayor Owen or
Attorney Mains. I do not know if either
[13:41] of them even reviewed the video of his
verbal attack against me. But I know
[13:45] they never requested
my audio recording of the incident
[13:51] which was necessary to to be fully
investigate what occurred. My grievance
[13:56] was never placed on the board agenda,
brought before the board, published in
[14:00] the newspaper or posted on Facebook. It
also was not handled in accordance with
[14:05] town ordinance 4-210.
In contrast, the grievance filed against
[14:11] me was treated as an official town
matter distributed to town officials,
[14:16] placed on the agenda, and brought before
the board. The facts clearly demonstrate
[14:20] that these two grievances were handled
unequally by Mayor Irwin and Attorney
[14:24] Mains. And while all this was happening,
Attorney Mains built the town for
[14:30] services he provided in connection with
his grievance, a grievance he advised
[14:34] on, shaped, and profited from. He made
money off a frivolous, baseless
[14:40] complaint that never should have
existed. Let me be clear.
[14:45] Mr. Mains was working as the mayor's
attorney, not the towns. His action
[14:49] served the mayor's personal interest,
his vendetta against me, not the best
[14:54] interest of the town of Decar. Instead
of dismissing this nonsense, mayor, you
[14:59] attorney mains twisted into something it
never was. You tried to make it sound
[15:03] official, legitimate, and disciplinary.
The mayor invited an impass adviser to
[15:08] the workshop. Alderman Ward and attorney
mains addressed his agreements to him.
[15:13] Let me remind you the mayor was already
in possession of the withdrawal letter
[15:17] and it had been voted on passed by the
board to not discuss without my attorney
[15:21] present.
This letter should have ended this
[15:26] matter immediately. Instead, it was
buried for 31 days. 31 days of silence,
[15:32] 31 days of public damage, 31 days in
which the mayor had the power to correct
[15:37] the record and he chose not to. This is
not transparency. This is not due
[15:42] process. This is not leadership. This is
secrecy.
[15:46] May [clears throat]
Mayor John Wayne Irwin and Trooper John
[15:51] Wayne Irwin have each taken an oath to
uphold the Constitution and the laws of
[15:55] Tennessee to faithfully perform the
duties of their respective public
[15:59] offices to carry out those duties with
integrity and truthfulness.
[16:04] And mayor, those obligations include
following state law,
[16:08] the town charter, and the town
ordinances based on the actions and
[16:13] omissions outlined here. I believe these
are serious questions about whether the
[16:16] oaths and obligations have been honored
in this matter. In closing, this isn't
[16:21] about me. It's about the integrity of
the office of the mayor. It's about
[16:24] whether our leaders can be trusted to
act with honesty and fairness.
[16:29] Mayor Irwin, you failed that test.
Alderman Myers and Alman Ward, you
[16:34] enabled it. Attorney mains profited from
it. And those on the board who stood
[16:39] silently or spread rumors, you were
complicit.
[16:42] Let me make one thing clear. I will not
be silenced. I will not be intimidated
[16:47] and I will not stop until accountability
is served. I am asking that my
[16:52] attorney's letter and his attachments
and Chief Chris withdraw the letter be
[16:57] attached as part of the minutes of this
meeting. Thank you.
[17:03] » All right, moving on. Ordinance 284 284
first reading.
[17:10] It is for reszoning partial
056.00
[17:15] group A mix county tax map 042L
from R1 to low density I'm sorry R1 low
[17:24] density to R2 high density residential.
>> Make a motion.
[17:29] » I'll second.
[17:34] [clears throat]
>> Where is it at?
[17:37] » That is uh Moose. Okay.
[17:43] Alderman Meyers.
>> Hi.
[17:44] » Alderman Oddinger.
>> Yes.
[17:46] » Alderman Peyton.
>> Hi.
[17:47] » Alderman Roland.
>> Hi.
[17:50] [clears throat]
>> All right. Uh the sewer rehab change
[17:55] order is what we added to the agenda.
I will let the engineer speak to this.
[18:01] Uh he can explain the three different
options on how it will work.
[18:08] So with the ARPA money, uh there's two
pots of the money.
[18:14] There's the ARPA the money from the
state and you're also just been agreeing
[18:19] on that contract and then there's a
contract with the with the Hurst
[18:23] excavator which is contracted for the
rehab budget.
[18:27] In my attempt to try to [clears throat]
keep you all under budget, um I'll I'll
[18:33] explain those two. There is a difference
in what we're under. The ARPA contract,
[18:37] we have about $90,000 left to spend.
I've got about a month to spend that.
[18:43] Uh, under the Hurst excavating contract,
I got about $400,000.
[18:48] So, there was an overage discrepancy.
I'm going to be completely honest. U,
[18:54] every time I talk to someone with the
state, I get a different number. So,
[18:58] I've spent literally the last month
getting every number that I can from
[19:02] every contract that we've gotten, and
I'm confident within $90,000.
[19:08] Um, that would mean no no extra money
comes out of y'all's pocket that was not
[19:13] intended other than a 10% match. Um, so
with that being said, I'm proceeding as
[19:20] if we've got $90,000 left to spend in
this contract. um has been brought to my
[19:25] attention. Uh when I presented this,
Mayor Irwin mentioned Hunterbin Road um
[19:31] had some problems and then Jeff and I
went down there and took a look at
[19:34] Hunter Ben Road and I noticed the
multiple layers of patch that have been
[19:38] put on it. I think in the short time
that uh Jeff has been here, they've
[19:43] patched it a couple of times. Um, we're
starting to notice um the first time I
[19:48] went up through there, you can notice
some some decent divots, three 4 in
[19:55] uh settlement uh in in the pavement. And
then the other day, we went up to look
[19:59] at two of the worst spots to try to keep
this in that $90,000 range and noticed u
[20:05] an actual hole.
I do not use the word simple because I
[20:10] know exactly what that means. But it is
a place where water can actually get
[20:14] into a trench and once water is in a
trench it can move whatever it wants to
[20:19] um as we've seen flooding and everything
else. Water has got a a mind of its own
[20:24] and it's very powerful. Um, so with that
being said, as as Jeff and I drove up
[20:30] the road and looked at this, um, it is
apparent to me that it is probably
[20:36] settlement within the the trench. Uh,
seemed like that may have been going on
[20:40] for a while. There's a creek right next
to it. Uh, water moving in and out.
[20:45] In lie of putting patch over this again
and watching it settle out in six
[20:50] months, uh the best effort that I can
put forth is to completely dig that
[20:55] trench up and back fill that with what
we call foldable fill, which is a a
[21:00] loose concrete set up over time and is
still excavated. Um that is not a not a
[21:07] cheap fix. Um, so that's what I've given
uh attached to this and again I am sorry
[21:14] for the late notice on this. I've been
working getting the numbers straight so
[21:18] that we can put these in.
Um, option one is keeping us in that
[21:23] 80,000 or $90,000 range. And that is
literally repairing and back filling the
[21:30] two worst spots up there and patching
the hole. Um, y'all saw what that did on
[21:35] Main Street. Not always the smoothest it
turns out, but we can we can watch that
[21:41] process and and try to get that smoother
as smooth as possible. So that fixes two
[21:48] of the rough leaves, but it fixes about
45 linear feet of of the problem. And as
[21:55] we've measured out, there was about 135
linear feet. Uh so option two is fixing
[22:02] all 135 linear feet of trench and back
filling that with just patch or not
[22:09] patch but just just paving the trench
that he opened up. Um and that is the
[22:15] $189,000.
Um and then option three is going back
[22:22] in doing option two and then coming
through and paving the full width of the
[22:26] road. um which I believe is going to
last for quite a while uh once we get
[22:31] this uh ditch situated and keep things
from settling.
[22:36] Um I can assure you if you look through
the video that is not the sewer. Um it
[22:41] is a trench issue. Uh there's no INI in
that system. That system that was
[22:47] previously rehab. The liners look really
good. Um, so I believe that this will be
[22:54] the best fix for the project is to get
this trench back filled. Whether you all
[22:59] want to back fill the whole thing or if
we just want to fix the two major parts,
[23:05] um, that's completely up to you. Um, I
have been in contact with the contractor
[23:11] today. Uh, he is contacting the the one
thing [clears throat] that upholds
[23:16] everything is timeline to get the paying
crew back in.
[23:20] U as y'all see with Main Street. It took
a little while to get them in here. Um
[23:26] so he's in contact with them uh this
afternoon and tomorrow to see if we can
[23:31] line up that that works within the
timing. I've got about 30 days to get
[23:35] things done by September 30th. Um so
that this can be completed. U so that is
[23:42] where we're at and I'm open to
questions.
[23:46] This is a road that we have have got a
lot of complaints on and Jeff like I
[23:50] said went up there and tried to patch it
several times and it just keeps washing
[23:54] out um keeping
>> and sinking in as so it's just going to
[23:58] keep doing over time. This would be the
one time that we could actually spend
[24:03] quer money on some paving because it's
within this project. So
[24:09] that would be one of the next road that
we would have to pave in the future
[24:11] after this is fixed. Anyways,
[24:20] » so option two, you're going to pave the
lot on Main Street. Is that how it be?
[24:25] » Option two is like Main Street was
before we paved it fully. Option three
[24:30] provides
>> Main Street today. Yes.
[24:37] » And these are estimates we did. I mean,
obviously I don't know exactly how deep
[24:41] things are. So there are things that
could change. I I believe that I've
[24:45] overestimated things. Obviously you
start digging and trench falls in
[24:51] keeping more. It could get bigger. I
think it's probably stable enough. I
[24:56] think these are overestimates by a
little bit. I always try to do that. I
[25:01] don't like to be the surprise.
[25:10] And uh three is from the city limit line
all the way back down five point.
[25:13] Correct.
>> Three is um nearly to the city limit.
[25:17] Well,
>> yeah. To the to basically to the last
[25:20] manhole um up there and then it'll start
uh you're probably about 300 ft up from
[25:28] the intersection or uh yeah, you're
probably about 300 ft up from the
[25:33] intersection. Um so basically paving
what what there'll
[25:49] make a motion to do option three for the
pool from sewer and water
[25:55] other than the 90,000.
[26:02] I'll put a second.
[26:12] » Alderman Meyers.
>> Hi.
[26:14] » Alderman Oddinger.
>> No.
[26:18] » Alderman Peyton.
>> Hi.
[26:19] » Alderman Roland.
[26:23] » Hi.
[26:28] I'll proceed with the change orders and
contractors in line again in lie of
[26:33] contractor coming back and saying it's
going to be October before they can pave
[26:37] it. You know, we'll make adjustments
from there.
[26:42] » Thank you.
>> All right. Uh
[26:48] do we need workshop that we have?
[26:56] We need that workshop one second
to talk about that improvement plan to
[27:04] talk about.
>> Excuse that on the agenda for workshop.
[27:07] » Okay.
[27:12] » I'd like to second
just in the essence of transparency.
[27:18] I want you guys to know that Laura and I
have been working pretty diligently on
[27:24] the financials. Um, we
we're way ahead of where we've been and
[27:31] we've also discovered a few things that
we can
[27:36] do internally that won't show up on our
audits next year. So, I think we're
[27:41] going to be able to attack um
some of the items that we've been
[27:46] working on for the last three or four
years. You know, we're
[27:50] right now at this point correcting with
some of them. There's still some others
[27:55] that we've got to work on procedure.
We've got to work on segregation of duty
[28:00] so that it won't come back up again.
But, you know, I can tell you that, you
[28:05] know, the cash has been accounted for.
So you guys looked at the books last
[28:10] month. You know, I swallowed really hard
when I thought we wrote about $1.7
[28:15] million in checks out, but you can
report it back to you and I'm sure Laura
[28:21] will get the details of what we have. As
Chris mentioned, we're getting
[28:27] everything set up for the ARPA funding
to fill that back in. So, you know, I
[28:33] think we're we're well on our way to
have a pretty strong year. It looks like
[28:38] preliminary that um water and sewer will
still remain pretty healthy through this
[28:45] year's August coming up. Um, the general
fund is still is tied, but I think once
[28:53] everything's said and done, I'm a little
concerned with the depreciation of how
[28:58] we're going to handle the extra
depreciation coming in water and sewer,
[29:03] but I think we've got enough margin to
cover that. So, cash is balanced. um
[29:13] everything you know we're working is due
up the payables receivables matches the
[29:18] general ledger you know we're going
through all that the details of it now
[29:23] so I feel like we should be in good
shape to submit at the first request
[29:28] from the auditors so you know my goal is
I can't tell you when the auditors will
[29:35] proceed with the audit but I can tell
you that we will have the city will have
[29:41] ourselves turned in um well before we
have in the past this year.
[29:50] » That's all I got for that. That's what
we've been working.
[29:55] » That's good. Basically, I'd just like
for the board to know what's going on,
[30:00] » you know, but have some way to say here
we are. This is what we've done. I mean,
[30:06] keep us locked in the dark,
>> right? you know,
[30:10] that's what I want. So, and I may not
understand it all, but I'll know that,
[30:16] you know, we're not in the dark until
the hobby comes back,
[30:20] » right?
>> You know,
[30:23] » and we should get very good preliminary
numbers and I don't think you'll see
[30:28] much sway in the audit. I mean there'll
be little things come up that you know
[30:35] but I don't think what they call
materiality something that would affect
[30:40] their financials I don't think you're
going to see wonderful we'll go through
[30:44] it line by line till we till we get
there and then I'm thinking that it'll
[30:50] be today's the 11th probably
we'll be submitting wildfire sometime
[30:58] September
another 20 days or so.
[31:02] » Yes, we should have we will have all the
books closed by the end of August and
[31:06] have all the reconciliations and and
cash submitted. Um
[31:12] » and they've already
>> September and they they've been here
[31:14] doing doing testing and they've started
and and we're already scheduled for for
[31:19] early November for them to be back. But
I will tell you, I've been in this
[31:23] business for 30 years that when we
reached out and hired this firm,
[31:30] we have a much higher
level of firm than we've had in the past
[31:36] where the previous firm the last 20
years
[31:41] that we've had, we'd make adjustments
and all and let it go. I'm telling you,
[31:45] the dude stood in here the other day, if
he writes, if his pencil touches the
[31:51] paper on anything to do with the county,
it will be in notes. So, that's why I
[31:56] want to work really hard to not have
them have to make any adjustment,
[32:00] anything have nobody wants to have um
issues like that.
[32:08] We're going to work very
[32:13] » speaking of revenue
the
[32:17] check with warrant from MTA has the
sales tax we don't have to do anything
[32:21] if it gets passed which will be on the
November ballot and also the uh retail
[32:27] package stores they have enough
signatures so it will be that question
[32:31] will be on the ballot also in November
>> I have a question that so
[32:36] do we have a role in that if it does
pass countywide
[32:41] as far as I know there's already
buildings being built in the city.
[32:45] What do we have a role in that?
>> We we for the retail package for jail
[32:49] we'll have to decide how many where
>> that's all this
[33:01] was there discussion on data centers
also with
[33:08] That won't be in the planning
commission. It'll be in the next
[33:10] planning.
>> It's
[33:19] a place way out in the middle of
nowhere.
[33:28] » [laughter]
[33:33] » about what you guys
[33:37] » we got some things a couple different
things that I'm working with the
[33:40] developers and them on nothing set in
stone yet but we're making some headway
[33:45] so hopefully I'm hoping by the next
meeting that we'll have something that
[33:48] we can report and we'll get ahead of the
cart that's become
[33:53] I hope we have something. Sure.
>> Can we have a workshop before the next
[33:57] meeting so we're not waiting a month and
a month and a month and a month and a
[34:00] month?
>> Maybe like a workshop in a week or two
[34:03] when you have your information.
>> Uh yeah, I mean we we can bring it up to
[34:09] hopefully have some at the next workshop
which will be before the next meeting.
[34:17] Is it 25th in issue for anybody?
[34:23] Make it a little later on. 6 or 7.
[34:30] » 6:30. 6:30.
>> 6:30 on the 230.
[34:36] » Is it
[34:40] I still don't know. like when you is
there going to be information given out
[34:46] to think about before the meeting like
what P dot is proposed and what
[34:52] is that in violation of pension law of
sharing information so I want I don't
[34:58] want to show up here and say are you
going to say like here's option one two
[35:03] and three is that what you're thinking
>> yeah I'm just going to bring the
[35:06] information I don't have like I don't
have things set in stone I've had two or
[35:09] three people call me trying trying to
work on some things. Uh but there's
[35:12] nothing to be set in stone yet. Um I
know Danny Dfield was working on a few
[35:17] things and then the the actual develop.
[35:24] » Yeah, I'm as soon as I get it, I'm going
to push it out so we can have everybody
[35:28] » like a preliminary what can be thinking
about it and see which way they want to
[35:31] go with it.
[35:36] All right. Anything else?
[35:41] So
