00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,680
and trust and agency $1,250.

195
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,880
>> I'll second it.

196
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,840
>> Okay.

197
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,840
>> I Niles.

198
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,400
>> Hey,

199
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:18,800
>> Shay.

200
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,440
>> Hi.

201
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:19,919
>> Sales.

202
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:21,840
>> Hi.

203
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,520
>> Item number four, city officials

204
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,039
reports.

205
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:30,150
Yeah, here you go. Enjoy. [laughter]

206
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,319
» Um, so a couple things. Uh, one

207
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:34,400
obviously with the poor weather we're

208
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,360
having lately with the snow and ice, um,

209
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,759
rock salt is always an issue. Uh, there

210
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:41,039
was just an article in the newspaper

211
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:44,880
that discussed how um, Cargill, who is

212
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360
the supplier for the state and county

213
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,840
through the uh, their procurement

214
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,199
process, which we piggyback off of, is

215
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:56,319
having a hard time getting deliveries.

216
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:58,879
Uh, two year two years ago, it was a

217
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:00,080
production issue. they did not have

218
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,160
enough rock salt that they produced for

219
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,520
the year. So, I don't know if it's a

220
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,520
combination of both or one or the other,

221
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,240
but the newspaper article refers to the

222
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,080
transportation being an issue of rock

223
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,639
salt. So, we got two loads last week,

224
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:14,160
we'll get two more loads this week

225
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,560
potentially. Uh, and then it's anyone's

226
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,599
guess from there. So,

227
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:20,960
nothing much we can do about it other

228
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,960
than just be patient and wait for

229
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,879
hopefully this to get resolved. So,

230
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:26,720
that's the one thing. The other thing is

231
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120
uh a few weeks ago there was an issue

232
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,240
brought to the commission about the uh

233
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,159
tractor snowb blowers the implement

234
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,640
tractor snowblowers that are operating

235
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,519
uh on the city streets. Uh we did a deep

236
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,039
dive into that with the New York State

237
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:45,440
Police also with uh the DMV and those

238
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,360
vehicles are non-registerable

239
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,959
non-insurable motor vehicles and cannot

240
00:08:50,959 --> 00:08:52,800
or should not be operated in that

241
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,560
manner. uh through further discussions

242
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:58,640
uh with our insurance company, we

243
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,399
believe that we have a way to work

244
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:02,080
through that and that's to create what's

245
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,839
called a registry. A lot of other

246
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:05,360
municipalities are are entering into

247
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,320
this, Syracuse being one of them. Um to

248
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,320
create a registry here where someone can

249
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,560
come and register, provide that they

250
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:14,959
have the proper insurance to have these

251
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:16,959
vehicles operating

252
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:19,200
um and then we'll essentially be the

253
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,480
keeper of that to make sure that people

254
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,279
are in compliance. So little bit more

255
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,240
detail to work through, but um um

256
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,279
that'll be something that'll be

257
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:30,160
implemented next plowing season. We'll

258
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,399
continue business as usual this plowing

259
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:33,600
season as per the commission's

260
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480
direction. So

261
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,680
uh next thing would be uh the pool. If

262
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:43,440
uh people saw, we were awarded um uh

263
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,519
funding through the swims program uh

264
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:48,000
$2.6 6 million

265
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,560
uh to basically redo the uh Glover pool

266
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,240
complex. That includes a zero entry pool

267
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,120
um uh splash pad and then improvements

268
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,040
to the pool house. It's an 8020 split,

269
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,160
meaning that the city has to pay 20%

270
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,800
$650,000. The state will pay the balance

271
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,760
of 2.6. It's a reimbursement grant. the

272
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,600
city will have to go out and borrow the

273
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,160
money and then file for reimbursement uh

274
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,480
throughout the process. Lot of details

275
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,160
still to work out. Rene and I had a

276
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,200
phone call with our engineers on Friday

277
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,880
uh waiting to hear back from the state

278
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,720
with what they call a GDA, a grant

279
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,399
dispersement agreement that should be

280
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,440
here hopefully the next 10 days or so.

281
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,760
Uh and then from there, uh the

282
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,120
commission is going to have to make a

283
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,240
decision if they're going to move this

284
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,200
grant forward and approve it and and go

285
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,560
forward with the project or not. So,

286
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:44,000
we've got a little bit of homework to do

287
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,519
in the next couple days here. Wait for

288
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:47,680
that uh grant dispersement agreement to

289
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,079
come in uh and look into a couple other

290
00:10:50,079 --> 00:10:51,519
particulars and then get back to the

291
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:53,279
commission so they can make a decision

292
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:56,880
to move this forward uh or not. So, if

293
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,079
anyone in the commission has any

294
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:00,399
questions, I'm happy to answer them.

295
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:03,440
So when we have the opportunity to make

296
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,839
small adjustments to it, is that

297
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:08,320
something that goes I guess is Barton

298
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,399
the dudis or whoever the engineer would

299
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,240
be. Is that something that they offer to

300
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,600
us? Is that something as a commission we

301
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,320
or do we incorporate the committee that

302
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,519
we put together? You know, I just ways

303
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:24,240
of addressing I guess potential changes

304
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,079
to this because so much is up in the

305
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:26,560
air.

306
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,440
>> Yeah. So, so there are the ability to do

307
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,680
minor changes. The scope of work again

308
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,920
is a pool, a splash pad, and the pool

309
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,920
house. Um, you're not going to deviate

310
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,440
from those, but but I'll give a

311
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,320
hypothetical. Um, let's just say the

312
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,240
pool overage to build the pool, the

313
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,720
overage is $25,000

314
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,640
and we need to get that from somewhere

315
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,720
internally in the grant. we would submit

316
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,640
a request to Dazzy who is the grant

317
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,480
administrator ask them to move 25,000

318
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,600
out let's say for flooring uh locker

319
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,720
room flooring um to be applied towards

320
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,640
the pool portion right so there is a

321
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,040
little flexibility but the scope of work

322
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:05,920
is going to be the scope work that's

323
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,120
what the grant was applied for and

324
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,200
that's what was was accepted so um

325
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,360
what'll end up happening is the

326
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,160
administration will

327
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,480
go through the first phase let's say

328
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,880
with the engineers right on what is what

329
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,040
we think is needed. There will be a

330
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,040
public input portion at some point in

331
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,240
time. Um but the engineers will drive

332
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,360
the project based on the the the the

333
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,160
available funds and the designated or

334
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,519
intended purpose of the grant. So um

335
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:39,760
there won't be much flexibility there

336
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,519
other than getting some input and then

337
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:43,200
letting the engineers take that back and

338
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,120
chew on it and make a recommendation to

339
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:50,230
us. So

340
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,839
» any question?

341
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:55,910
>> Okay, that's all I have for you.

342
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,440
» Nothing. You just don't want to use

343
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,000
this.

344
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,310
>> Yes. Michael

345
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,880
» All right. Uh item number five, public

346
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,120
comments. Does anyone wish to address

347
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,790
the commission tonight?

348
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,480
Sorry.

349
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:14,959
We

350
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:17,200
>> Yes, you do.

351
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,079
>> You have the microphone.

352
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:19,279
>> Yeah.

353
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:21,680
>> Please state your name and address.

354
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:25,750
>> Name and address.

355
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,320
» Ray Krubsky, 326 Cheryl Road. Uh just a

356
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,360
couple questions. Um about a month ago,

357
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,279
you mentioned this skating rink was

358
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:37,040
going to start to be done and stuff and

359
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,360
then nothing ever happened. Is that

360
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,360
still going to happen or no?

361
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,600
So, um, as you know, we don't control

362
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,680
the weather when you have 55 degree

363
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:48,160
weather. Um, you know, we so we're not

364
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,519
going to spend the time and effort

365
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:50,959
knowing it's going to get warm. For

366
00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:53,120
example, um, we looked at the weather

367
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,240
this week.

368
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,199
>> Um, could have changed, but Wednesday is

369
00:13:57,199 --> 00:13:59,040
supposed to be, I think, 45. Thursday is

370
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,000
supposed to be 36. So, the temp

371
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,320
temperature fluctuations don't allow for

372
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,440
uh, ice creation. So, the week later, I

373
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,560
think after Saturday, it's supposed to

374
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:09,839
get down in the 20s. So, we'll look at

375
00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:11,920
it there. You can only make

376
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,959
>> You You said you were going to look at

377
00:14:12,959 --> 00:14:14,560
it beginning of December, and we had a

378
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,000
cold streak all the way through

379
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,199
Christmas and and the skating never [clears throat] happened.

380
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:20,639
>> We We can We can split hairs if you

381
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:23,440
want, but the reality is it got cold, it

382
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,079
got warm. It got cold, it got warm. We

383
00:14:26,079 --> 00:14:28,560
had rain and snow and slush. So,

384
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,399
priority for our guys is to plow the

385
00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:32,480
streets. We have seven guys that work

386
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,959
for the DPW. So, when we get those snow

387
00:14:34,959 --> 00:14:36,560
storms, that's their priority. So, it's

388
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,000
going to supersede anything. And we

389
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,160
don't bring people in on overtime to

390
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,720
create ice. So they'll do it during

391
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,800
their work hours when available and try

392
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,320
to keep and stay on top of it. But

393
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,720
again, we don't control the weather. And

394
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,079
again, anyone that's seen what's

395
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:53,279
happened here, we had 2 feet of snow uh

396
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:55,519
less than a week ago and it's all gone.

397
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:55,839
So

398
00:14:55,839 --> 00:14:57,040
>> Okay.

399
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,519
>> Yeah.

400
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:00,560
>> Okay. And then other just question

401
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,920
because I don't know the answer. um when

402
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,600
it comes to plowing parking lots and

403
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,440
stuff, how do you how do they figure

404
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,120
that out? Because the last time it

405
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,800
snowed a lot, there was 8 in out here in our parking lot and the guys are out

406
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,480
plowing the churches and plowing in

407
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,079
front of Ebenezers in front of New York

408
00:15:18,079 --> 00:15:21,199
Pizza and we're getting calls and you

409
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:23,360
know, we're getting cars stuck a little

410
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,440
bit and this and that. I mean, can that

411
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,519
be like moved up on on the list after

412
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:29,839
the roads to the public safety building?

413
00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:32,240
>> Yeah. So, just for factually speaking,

414
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,240
the city hall gets plowed before any of

415
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,720
the church parking lots. So, um

416
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,160
>> not not this last time.

417
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,240
>> Okay. We can agree to disagree. Uh this

418
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,600
first time hearing of this. I did not

419
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,800
hear from any of your chiefs. Nobody

420
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,480
called

421
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,560
and and I just I I didn't talk to them.

422
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,320
I just asking the question.

423
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,639
>> This parking lot is maintained uh in my

424
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:52,720
opinion very well by our guys. They work

425
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800
hard. Uh they're out there clearing the

426
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,360
streets. I'm not sure what day that was.

427
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,720
I'm not sure if it was on a holiday

428
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,160
where we were down to a skeleton crew. I

429
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,360
don't know those details because it's

430
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,480
the first time hearing of it. So, if you

431
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,480
want to give me an exact date and time,

432
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,920
I'm happy to talk to Adam and we can

433
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,959
look into it further.

434
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:08,160
>> I didn't write down the date and time,

435
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,560
but

436
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,519
>> Okay. So, I I don't know. I was just

437
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:13,519
curious how that worked. So, all right.

438
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:19,189
Thanks.

439
00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:22,949
» Anybody else?

440
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:26,959
» Okay. Closing public comment. Uh number

441
00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:29,759
six, authorize the sale of the griddle

442
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:32,880
on Auctions International.

443
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,800
>> So what this is, it's the old it's the

444
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,120
old griddle, the the concession stand.

445
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,360
We use some of the uh Vernon money to

446
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,000
replace the griddle and the deep fryer.

447
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,959
Correct, Barry? So um the deep fryer

448
00:16:44,959 --> 00:16:46,880
unfortunately was not salvageable or

449
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,800
worth anything. So that was thrown away.

450
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,199
Um but this griddle could get a couple

451
00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:52,320
bucks from it.

452
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,759
>> So that's what that is.

453
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:55,519
>> Be a motion.

454
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:57,680
I'll second it.

455
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,480
>> Pull.

456
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:58,880
>> Hi.

457
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,440
>> Mhm.

458
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,560
>> Hi.

459
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,120
>> Niles.

460
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:01,440
>> Hi.

461
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:01,839
>> Shay.

462
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:02,320
>> Hi.

463
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:02,800
>> Sales.

464
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,439
>> Hi.

465
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:07,679
>> Moving on to number eight on the list.

466
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:10,400
The resolution to bond for Digger Derek

467
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,280
P&L.

468
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,439
>> So, what this is is um the old Digger

469
00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:19,679
Derek was replaced. We placed this order

470
00:17:19,679 --> 00:17:21,839
a little over two years ago through MAC.

471
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,240
The cabin chassis came in and then went

472
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,319
to Altech. It was at Altech for I want

473
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,079
to say nine or 10 months being built

474
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:31,200
out. Uh it was delivered about two weeks

475
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,679
ago to power and light. Uh this was

476
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:36,080
accounted for in the rate study increase

477
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,480
that was done two years ago, but now we

478
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,039
need authorization to go out and borrow

479
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:43,120
for it to pay for it. And again, the

480
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,360
rate the rates that are being charged

481
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:47,840
will create enough revenue annually to

482
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,840
pay for it. I think Rene correct if I'm

483
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,200
wrong. We're probably gonna take a ban

484
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,799
out on this for five years. Is that

485
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:53,120
correct?

486
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:54,400
>> That's what I was would assume. And

487
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,000
that's for like $23,653.

488
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,960
Yeah.

489
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,080
>> To be exactly.

490
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,640
>> Okay. Uh do I have a motion?

491
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,799
>> I'll second.

492
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:09,360
>> Cola.

493
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:09,760
>> Hi.

494
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:10,400
>> Vinyl.

495
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:10,880

>> Item number nine. Other commissioners

504
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,110
>> I don't feel

505
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:24,240
» congratulations.

506
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:24,799
>> Thank you.

507
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:27,760
>> And Bill, thank you for your service

508
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,000
>> and I'd like to learn more about our

city's investments and see what we're

510
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:34,640
invested and see what the rules are and

511
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,679
see if we can start investing more.

512
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:40,240
>> I can get you with us if you want to

513
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,400
take it with you. Just get started.

514
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,120
>> Sure. J,

515
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:48,720
>> we can start with the commissioner.

516
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,120
>> Commissioner

517
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:50,640
>> Billy, thank you for your service while

518
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,480
we

519
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,750
ask Kevin.

520
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,120
» That's all I have to say about that.

521
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:58,720
>> All right. Well, thank you all. I

522
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,400
appreciate all you appreciate working

523
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,760

forward to working with you for the next

525
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,720
two as well. So, um, I got nothing else.

526
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,440
And if there's no other things, I

527
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,520

528
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,160
