On endot coordination, it really goes to them 143 00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:38,870 a much broader focus on endocordination for them when they do work to plant trees and to come 144 00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:45,070 to us and get our approval before they cut down trees on state highway property.

And so I want to commend her for that and again, it's all 280 00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:54,000 volunteer time. Yeah, Jennifer, this is an enormous task you've taken on and it's really 281 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,040 hard to sit here so you talk about cutting them down. I know, no, I believe it. And then your 282 00:19:59,040 --> 00:19:59,940 This is your name as a week. 283 00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:11,280 We have an over and over and over, both of us gone, like Evans O'Housing, Sean and I have been pecking 284 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:18,020 on that one for at least five years, I mean, for Bernie Hyman, really, it was the last time. 285 00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:21,440 I'm on the Indian housing authority. It means everyone, you know what, we're going to give you 286 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,980 a little more money from the state, and to start allowing these people to have a treat to set 287 00:20:26,980 --> 00:20:30,340 under in the shade like all of us have, you know, 288 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,440 I have to travel to the bar, 289 00:20:31,540 --> 00:20:35,620 it's like, and so it was a good meeting and I think, 290 00:20:35,740 --> 00:20:38,960 but their common always was we get our money, 291 00:20:39,460 --> 00:20:41,060 it's all brick and mortar. 292 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:44,280 That's a bigger problem. 293 00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:48,180 I mean, I think the money coming from housing 294 00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:51,600 should say you have to put trees on property, 295 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,600 it doesn't, and so that's what happens. 296 00:20:54,600 --> 00:21:02,140 And by the way, street trees, some of these, you guys went out and picked them, but some of them will be parking lot trees too. 297 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,160 I consider that just as important, you know, to cover this parking lot. 298 00:21:07,660 --> 00:21:12,280 Yeah, and then what do we think we might get up to 200 at the housing authority sites that we visited? 299 00:21:12,660 --> 00:21:14,640 I think it's, I think it's going to be close. 300 00:21:14,980 --> 00:21:15,020 Yeah. 301 00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:17,540 Initially, my initial job. 302 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,620 I think it'll be great. 303 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,580 So yeah, it's super exciting and it's a lot of fun for both of us to work on. 304 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:34,460 I do have some questions for you guys, so you made a comment on one time when we were talking to somebody. 305 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:43,380 Oh, I think it was probably when we were driving around with the housing authority guy about the trees that go in between the sidewalk and the street that area. 306 00:21:44,020 --> 00:21:49,480 You had said something about, you know, if there's a problem you will maintain, or you will take care of it. 307 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:56,960 Well, if there's ever a tree in the right away, and if the tree dies, or if it has low 308 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,700 lens over the street, they're hitting cars, we have the right to prune or remove those 309 00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:02,160 as needed. 310 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,460 So, if something happens to those trees, we would be happy right when we'd be capable of either 311 00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:13,540 removing them if they die or prune them if they start to grow low. 312 00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:19,680 So to read your section, does not cover private trees in the property? 313 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:26,500 Can but it is the right to take care of them like that, extend to the right to just say, 314 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,160 we're going to plant trees here, Mr. Homeowner, and just go along Walnut or go along. 315 00:22:31,460 --> 00:22:39,780 So that question shows up in front of us a thousand times Aaron Elm here, every mile of Evansville 316 00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:47,060 almost is different. There are some areas the absolutely as at complete authority and there are 317 00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:52,560 many others. Let's take Washington Avenue. That's been the one that's driven us, certified like 318 00:22:52,560 --> 00:23:00,100 crazy. And there it appears the homeowner's own to the street. So could we? So we've got green areas all 319 00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:06,420 up and down Washington Avenue where they're used to be trees. They're too narrow. I mean we would not 320 00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:09,540 design for trees that narrow, but they were there. 321 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,580 But that becomes the issue is that, and so Rails 322 00:23:14,580 --> 00:23:17,640 to trails is in the same issue in Indiana. 323 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,480 Indiana Law has come down in favor of the joining 324 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,240 property owners having to the edge, whether it's a railroad 325 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,460 they own it. 326 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,040 And so it's a real trick bag in Indiana. 327 00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:36,200 There are places like downtown where we've done redeveloped 328 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,320 So if we have redevelopment commission, we do it where we, we have control those areas. 329 00:23:41,460 --> 00:23:44,260 In fact, we irrigate them. If you look, we just put it in. 330 00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:48,040 I mean, I wonder if we're trying to get more trees, more street trees like that. 331 00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:52,280 If we could identify those streets where we have the right to do that. 332 00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:56,760 And it's pretty expensive. I mean, we have to hire title companies. 333 00:23:57,620 --> 00:23:59,960 And I think we just, oh, okay. 334 00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:03,640 Yeah, so I think what you do is say, 335 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:10,680 So we're going to get the inventory back and we say, here's where we have a tree desert and we 336 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:20,740 want to go and we pick those corridors. Nick with KV thinks greener road north is an issue because 337 00:24:20,740 --> 00:24:30,720 KV's charge is where are there 60,000 cars a day. We want 60,000 people a day versus say 338 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,020 street where there's a hundred cars a day. 339 00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:37,600 I mean, that's not the public impacts not there. 340 00:24:37,980 --> 00:24:41,880 So green river, there's an example one we're looking at. 341 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,140 And then you get into the area where they're power, 342 00:24:45,460 --> 00:24:48,840 their lines, if they're just lines to streetlights, 343 00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:52,220 we can plan, we can plan and oak under those. 344 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,660 I mean, the city's public works department 345 00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:59,540 may not be so happy about it, but you can. 346 00:24:59,540 --> 00:24:59,720 . 347 00:24:59,720 --> 00:24:59,960 . 348 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:07,380 On the other hand, Paul's not here. If it's under a power line, it supplies oxygen to grandma's 349 00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:14,720 house next door. We can't be super thrust to plant the wrong free there. So it's a complex 350 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:21,600 issue. I think you're right. But I think we picked those deserts and say, Washington Avenue, 351 00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:27,020 whatever, we picked those streets. So you identify the area. And then you say, Vossy title, what 352 00:25:27,020 --> 00:25:33,280 can we do here? We can pick those areas and find the funds and figure it out. That's what 353 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,620 blo...when I gave you the examples, that's what Bloomington did on 3rd Street. They figured it out. 354 00:25:39,380 --> 00:25:46,640 So they concentrated on 3rd and the other thing they did, in many cases, they did a road diet, 355 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,880 instead of a road diet putting a turn line, like look at what we just did on van and there's 356 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,660 one island there. Well, that island, instead of just having poles on it, 357 00:25:59,980 --> 00:26:03,220 that island said that I have poles on it could have trees in it, 358 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,800 just like Alvard, St. James, those are areas. 359 00:26:08,020 --> 00:26:13,060 But yeah, we can do it, but I think we've got to identify like one mile stretches 360 00:26:13,060 --> 00:26:15,840 and do that and move to the next one. 361 00:26:16,060 --> 00:26:19,960 I think that's a great way to do it, because the impact is immediate in those areas. 362 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:27,200 So we'll tell you KBs, leaning towards, but some of these trees, 363 00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:30,980 like gene trees was solid waste on other restrictions on, right? 364 00:26:31,420 --> 00:26:33,720 Whereas some trees have restrictions that've got to be... 365 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,660 Where they go, sure. 366 00:26:34,820 --> 00:26:37,840 No, it's the income level, right? 367 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:38,500 Right. 368 00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:40,760 Yeah, they've got to be on some grants. 369 00:26:40,980 --> 00:26:43,780 You can't plant the trees, but in low income areas. 370 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,400 That's what the screen is. 371 00:26:45,540 --> 00:26:45,920 That's what the screen is. 372 00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:47,120 Westman grants that way. 373 00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:53,280 So those are things we're looking at and hopefully we're going to get the new inventory and well 374 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,240 I think what we need to do is say we're going to do this mile do what Bloomington did 375 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:03,660 So Lafayette, they're not stupid chamber of commerce joined him in it if you're coming into Purdue 376 00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:07,860 Which is a lot of us they basically said for me 377 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,980 But they basically said now they're they're ugly ugly like green of a road 378 00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:21,640 Now, right next to the interstate, they haven't gotten that fixed yet, but when you get 379 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:27,360 in to some point they've done it, just like Bloomington, but Bloomington's now all the way 380 00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:35,200 to the interstate, but on both accents, so I've got something to add to the conversation too. 381 00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:42,320 So there currently is a grant that we're applying for next year and the goal of the grant 382 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:51,160 is to, it's a $30,000 grant to pay for advertising campaign to educate the public about the benefits 383 00:27:51,160 --> 00:28:00,080 of trees and, you know, it has a plan to write tree in the right place. And the idea is to, you know, 384 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:07,480 get the public involved in planting when there are properties where we can't plant. And we want to connect 385 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,820 that appetite, those advertising campaign efforts and time it right, so let's write before our 386 00:28:12,820 --> 00:28:19,460 tree giveaways. So we're also talking about maybe doing a full tree giveaway next year as well. 387 00:28:20,940 --> 00:28:28,040 So hopefully maybe that will add to creating canopy in those areas where we typically can't plan. 388 00:28:29,820 --> 00:28:37,460 So then my next question is, in this, you were talking about endot in the, in the 389 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,540 areas by the highways. What, what enter a departmental 390 00:28:41,540 --> 00:28:45,500 cooperation do we have an Evansville as far as planning 391 00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:48,720 things like this? Because it sort of seems to me like, 392 00:28:48,740 --> 00:28:53,240 well, you talked about the sidewalk thing, and when 393 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,740 when areas are being developed or, you know, changes are being made or 394 00:28:57,740 --> 00:29:00,160 you know, trees or trees are being paved, new sidewalks, 395 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,380 whatever, do they work with you guys? 396 00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:07,580 And, or if not, can we strengthen that? 397 00:29:08,540 --> 00:29:10,460 Well, the first thing we did when we formed, 398 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,500 was we formed intergovernmental agreements 399 00:29:13,140 --> 00:29:17,180 with the levee authority, school corporation, helped me. 400 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,880 Because they're not subject to jurisdiction. 401 00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:23,360 So then they all coordinate very well with us. 402 00:29:25,020 --> 00:29:28,100 So you're having trouble with this one particular issue 403 00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,120 with the sidewalks. 404 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,700 And those oak trees of your time mat? 405 00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:40,760 Yeah, and we have a meeting set for that's coming up to try and bridge that and Aaron sent a lot of hard work to help us bridge that 406 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:53,800 So ever once while you have them within the department, so the big thing we did and we sponsored and we got through was our code now provides less parking more trees on all new development 407 00:29:54,340 --> 00:29:59,900 And I think it should be abundantly a parent of our success if you go to Costco 408 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,260 So where are you going to target? 409 00:30:03,380 --> 00:30:11,460 Okay, so go to best, go to best by, that pre-day saw work. And then 410 00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:18,260 okay, pull in that one, okay, which they just ripped out every shrub along, you know, they had at least 411 00:30:18,260 --> 00:30:25,160 something, but they've taken everything out along Burkhard, likewise of Walmart Center, who sells trees, 412 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:31,100 always find that astonishing. They sell trees, but they don't plan them. But then look at 413 00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:39,080 our new developments and they have, you know, there's one being Bill right now that, so when 414 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:45,600 they read dead Washington Square Mall, look at how much they plan it. Goodwill. So, so, like 415 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:51,440 when did you develop or want to do a private subdivision? Is there any, is there any, um, you're 416 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:51,940 You're going to be bouncing? 417 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:52,420 Yeah. 418 00:30:53,240 --> 00:31:00,460 Discussion about, okay, there's this, like there's a, there's a field on my bike ride that 419 00:31:00,460 --> 00:31:05,620 I do if I ride in the morning and it's going to be developed and you can, I mean, there's 420 00:31:05,620 --> 00:31:09,320 of Ron McGill and sign there and everything, but there's a great, beautiful tree in the 421 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,660 middle of it and it's, you know, it'd be nice if someone would say, can you just design 422 00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:19,000 this and keep this, maybe make it like a central, a common area or something to, is there 423 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,320 of that kind of stuff going on. Is there a way to strengthen that? I can't you know the homeowners 424 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,680 associations pretty strong and I don't know that we've ever stood down with them. They've had 425 00:31:29,820 --> 00:31:35,940 enormous fights on storm water that have just been pretty crazy on the other end. I think 426 00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:41,820 it's something we could explore and that they're very well organized. I had a talk with Jeff 427 00:31:41,820 --> 00:31:47,260 Hatfield. He's not too involved in it anymore but he did say that there's the organization is just 428 00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:50,680 There's not as many members, there's not as much 429 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,040 development going on as there had been in prior years, 430 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,160 and I'm not, I don't get involved in that anymore. 431 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,740 But I would think, if I could talk to people. 432 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,000 I mean, they're an organized group. 433 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,460 You could work at, but in terms of the requirements, 434 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,260 they just said exists on commercial. 435 00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:07,560 They don't exist in our code for residents. 436 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,360 Do we have that many Haways going in the city limits 437 00:32:12,980 --> 00:32:14,140 that are new development? 438 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,080 Well, that's probably true. 439 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,140 It's probably not city limits. 440 00:32:16,140 --> 00:32:18,580 Yeah, because we're limited to the city. 441 00:32:18,740 --> 00:32:19,560 I mean, I mean, we're counting. 442 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,800 So, and you, what's the city limits only? 443 00:32:22,860 --> 00:32:24,800 You're saying, okay, okay, okay. 444 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,480 So, and only, the other thing I really wanted to say is, 445 00:32:29,620 --> 00:32:31,620 I'm still really frustrated with centerpoints 446 00:32:31,620 --> 00:32:34,100 and the clear cutting they're doing 447 00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:35,740 in a long neighborhood streets. 448 00:32:36,580 --> 00:32:42,770 And the lack of trying to find an alternative way 449 00:32:43,310 --> 00:32:44,710 to solve it a problem. 450 00:32:46,430 --> 00:32:47,310 Paul's not ears. 451 00:32:47,430 --> 00:32:48,010 I know. 452 00:32:48,750 --> 00:32:52,530 Yeah, it was the last minute that he couldn't be ears, so maybe he saw you were coming out. 453 00:32:54,590 --> 00:32:55,610 It's really frustrating. 454 00:32:56,050 --> 00:33:00,850 I mean, I have to be really careful, just because of my job and everything, but I'd like to be really 455 00:33:00,850 --> 00:33:01,590 vocal about it. 456 00:33:01,770 --> 00:33:03,590 It's really, I don't think they need to do. 457 00:33:03,630 --> 00:33:05,370 I know they don't need to do what they do. 458 00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:08,030 I know they don't need to bully people the way they bully people. 459 00:33:08,030 --> 00:33:11,990 on like the strip along covert avenue by the cemetery, 460 00:33:12,230 --> 00:33:14,630 they could have handled that a little bit better, 461 00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:17,770 just for the record. 462 00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:22,050 We'll make sure Paul needs minutes. 463 00:33:23,070 --> 00:33:24,930 Okay, all right, thanks. 464 00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:26,350 Well, thank you, Jennifer, in Jessica. 465 00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:28,290 You guys are doing so much and it's really, 466 00:33:28,330 --> 00:33:31,890 makes a big impact and your work is very appreciated. 467 00:33:33,450 --> 00:33:37,550 And hopefully in 20 years you'll be seeing the rewards 468 00:33:37,550 --> 00:33:38,770 of your hard work. 469 00:33:41,870 --> 00:33:42,770 It's true. 470 00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:47,460 They're really filling in. 471 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,340 We prosecute the warranty claims. 472 00:33:51,060 --> 00:33:55,460 And if you know, for whatever reason, there were maybe four to six, and I looked 473 00:33:55,460 --> 00:33:58,460 and because they sort of artwork prosecuted as claims. 474 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,860 So by the replacements, we'll see if they can make it through this mini drought 475 00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:08,060 we're in, but they look like they've, you know, the replacements survived. 476 00:34:09,020 --> 00:34:16,740 I feel ashamed when I ride around with Jennifer because she's doing this for free and I'm going to pay for it 477 00:34:16,740 --> 00:34:23,360 It makes me want to work harder to make sure that we get more trees planted so thank you for motivating me 478 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:33,800 Well, I'm just going to add I'm really excited to see be as a report and be as master plan and I hope that I'm sure you guys probably don't have anything to do with the budget 479 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,980 but I hope they can increase your budget and manpower 480 00:34:35,980 --> 00:34:41,240 and everything so that there's an opportunity for more. 481 00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:42,340 I think it's certainly easy. 482 00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:53,100 Yeah, other states have accomplished that by, you see 483 00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:56,140 when you buy a Coke or beer, you know, 484 00:34:56,300 --> 00:34:59,960 that some places is a nickel or a dime back in Indiana. 485 00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:06,540 It's not done that, and that's the source of funding, for trees and beautification. 486 00:35:09,270 --> 00:35:22,370 Michigan did it, I think Michigan, you know, back to the thing, Michigan, Ohio or the stuff ahead of us, and so those are examples of, you got to have a revenue source, 487 00:35:24,670 --> 00:35:31,110 and those are some spots that, you know, the other problem in Indiana is we don't have a keep in Indiana. 488 00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:37,150 So, keep America beautiful, the organization that sort of supports 489 00:35:37,150 --> 00:35:44,670 letter trees, flowers, beautification, and we're one of maybe certainly 490 00:35:44,670 --> 00:35:48,130 minority that doesn't have a state organization with a paid person. 491 00:35:48,730 --> 00:35:50,990 They can lobby the state level for this. 492 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:52,790 So, 493 00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:56,220 those are the bigger issues, 494 00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:01,240 and, you know, if we can accomplish that, 495 00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:06,360 It'll help us on the end on the coordination in those bigger issues. 496 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:20,620 So, there are city council members or more generous, and then realize the amount of state money 497 00:36:20,620 --> 00:36:24,180 that's dropped into their communities is just mind-boggling. 498 00:36:24,660 --> 00:36:34,980 I mean, we have USI, but it does not compare to what Purdue and both of those have endowments 499 00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:42,060 that are, I mean, we're national champions in football, and then in an ILR, it's a reflection 500 00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:45,580 of the fact that, you know, if we ever say that. 501 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,380 So that's the difference. 502 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:53,160 All right. 503 00:36:54,340 --> 00:36:58,920 So somebody could donate a billion dollars to the Vanderbilt County Community Foundation. 504 00:36:59,140 --> 00:37:01,720 I think we could solve these problems too. 505 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,020 And that's what they have on top of the community foundations. 506 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:16,140 I'm going to have to skid out all out of here shortly so I do have a point of clarification 507 00:37:16,140 --> 00:37:18,980 on the former issue if that will be okay. 508 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:25,660 So back to the trees inside Wawng, so back in June, Brian Monday, Tennessee, and the area approach 509 00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:32,220 the tree board master's permission to the tree on Cherry Street and he didn't have the address 510 00:37:32,220 --> 00:37:33,040 at the time. 511 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,060 And I had assumed it was the same tree that we approved previous to that, 512 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:46,420 which was November last year. At 212 East Cherry Street, but I was incorrect on that. 513 00:37:46,580 --> 00:37:52,900 So the tree that he actually saw to prove for that we approved was at 400 southeast 514 00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:58,220 second on the Cherry Street side of the property. So I just want to bring up that point of 515 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,400 verification, if anybody, I don't know, if we would need to 516 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,940 revote on that or not, but that tree has been removed. 517 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,220 Now, I believe, and that tree that he was speaking of, 518 00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:12,800 literally was tearing up the street. 519 00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:17,220 So, I think, regardless of anything, it would still 520 00:38:17,220 --> 00:38:20,600 need to approve that, even if it does a separate tree. 521 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,900 But I think we can approve it. 522 00:38:23,420 --> 00:38:25,260 Seconds of motion 523 00:38:25,260 --> 00:38:30,100 So Mike made the motion to approve the tree on parallel. We had the wrong address 524 00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:38,020 Yeah, and Sarah second of it all those in favors. I all those opposed. Thank you. Yeah 525 00:38:38,020 --> 00:38:39,420 Tidy up 526 00:38:39,420 --> 00:38:42,580 Can can all the items since there are needs to leave from 527 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:50,180 Is there anything else when you talk really up to talk about the dates on the items are listed here so we can see him.
