[11:02] agreement to make sure it's

[11:08] there reest that they also discussed a little

[11:13] bit about the weight for using the kitchen and or using

[11:22] the gymnasium portion and the reason the discussion came up was increase in

[11:30] frequency of

[11:35] for-profit businesses that are asking to use the

[11:40] kitchen and they want to make sure

[11:50] that charging an appropriate amount to ensure that we'

[11:57] maintain that's a

[12:02] discuss so there's some organizations or some profets that are just use in the

[12:07] kitchen nothing else just for that is correct and what it is is people need to

[12:11] be preparing in a certified kitchen and this is a convenient place for some of

[12:17] them to be able to do that and they're seeing that and they're looking so that

[17:33] you add Oh no just the RFD oh yeah so nothing was changed just RFD but I do I

[17:38] do have a discussion it okay so with the updated information that we received

[17:43] this morning regarding the uh landfill requisition uh Pavo and I are

[17:50] recommending uh a change uh to the utility

[17:54] rate um amendments and that is to not increase the landfill and not increase

[18:01] the um recycling uh by the 5% and actually that

[18:08] will uh by my calculations which were pretty

[18:13] rudimentary and quick um would reduce uh $2 a month off the increase uh so right

[18:21] now it's projected on an average utility bill um the the amount would go up by

[18:27] $6.20 cents per month uh if we do not uh

[18:32] increase the landfill in recycling uh it would be just over four bucks I

[18:40] think
