[0:02] Good afternoon. Um, my name is Jake
[0:04] Alexander, the minerals operations
[0:06] manager for forestry, fire, and state
[0:08] lands. In the room today, we have Sarah
[0:10] Royal, our finance director, um, Thomas
[0:12] Cassinger, assistant attorney general
[0:14] for the division, and Mattie Gan, our
[0:16] support service coordinator. This is a
[0:18] presentation and public hearing for the
[0:20] fees, the changes we're proposing to our
[0:22] fee schedule for fiscal year 2028. Um,
[0:25] and if you have any questions or
[0:26] comments, please raise your hand or make
[0:27] yourself known if you're in the room or
[0:30] um, please drop a chat um, and we'll
[0:32] either unmute you or um, we can answer
[0:34] also written conversation as well. Thank
[0:36] you.
[17:20] Oh, Steve.
[17:21] >> Hi, Steve.
[17:24] >> How are you?
[17:25] >> Good. Good.
[17:30] You are you are our first guest
[17:33] [laughter]
[17:34] >> and I just we just saw you this morning
[17:35] so it's good to see you again.
[17:37] >> Yeah, good to see you guys.
[17:39] >> Any questions?
[17:44] » I didn't have any questions.
[17:46] >> Nobody else joined. Huh?
[17:48] >> Thing that would interest you is that we
[17:50] developed a application fee for the
[17:52] feasibility and operations application.
[17:54] So, the next person, if someone comes in
[17:56] behind you, they're going to have to pay
[17:58] us a whopping $950 to get their foot in
[18:00] the door as well.
[18:03] >> Yeah, I see that there. Okay.
[18:06] >> So, we we we saved $1,000.
[18:10] >> Real lucky that you got in before
[18:12] >> Oh, two. Yeah.
[18:19] » Well, let us know if you have any other
[18:21] questions or want to talk about
[18:22] something related. Those are the only
[18:25] updates
[18:26] >> we we made other changes if I think uh
[18:29] Matty can scroll through it or is it
[18:31] available somewhere else where Steve can
[18:32] look through it on his own?
[18:34] >> It's posted on the public notice site as
[18:36] well.
[18:37] >> So
[18:41] with respect to mineral related matters,
[18:42] none of these should really have any
[18:44] direct impact on your operation and
[18:47] program. Um essentially they're mostly
[18:49] clarifications or creating more specific
[18:51] fees um when fees already existed.
[18:56] >> So for example, we had kind of all of
[18:58] our assignments lumped into one, but
[19:00] certain assignments of you know mineral
[19:02] leases or other incumbrances. This is
[19:03] across the entire spectrum of what we do
[19:05] both Emma and I um have different
[19:07] amounts of time, right? And the idea
[19:09] behind
[19:13] that correct sir,
[19:18] » but if you want to take a look, Steve,
[19:20] at the uh you know, at the list on your
[19:22] own time as far as like doing a deep
[19:24] dive, you're welcome to get that from
[19:26] the public meeting side and if you have
[19:28] any issues with them, we're happy to work with you. But the changes
[19:31] are pretty minimal. Okay.
[19:34] >> Yeah, I found the found the link to the
[19:37] document there.
[19:38] Okay.
[19:42] » All right. Well, I guess I'll let you
[19:44] guys get back to it.
[19:46] >> Guess you have to stay on, right? So,
[19:49] >> for another time.
[19:52] >> Okay. Thanks, Steve. Let us know if you
[19:54] have any questions.
[19:55] >> All right. Have a good one. See you.
[1:08:33] Thanks, J.
[1:08:34] >> Okay, we are 400 PM on June 25th. Uh we
[1:08:38] have reached the end of our public
[1:08:40] hearing for the fees changed for FY28.
[1:08:44] Thank you.
