Um, so the city and the 298 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:56,400 site board of uh municipal utilities are seeking approval to renew our uh work 299 00:19:51,919 --> 00:20:02,000 comp insurance with u me insurance. Um it has increased significantly this 300 00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:07,760 year. Um you'll notice um the drivers of that is our payrolls have gone up 301 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:13,360 significantly and um we did increase our policy limits from 500,000 to 1 million. 302 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:18,160 Um we also have an increase to our experience mod which went from 1.06 to 303 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:24,960 1.3. Um and our loss history and severity 304 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:30,640 trends have uh really increased um the past few years. So, um, that is what is 305 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:39,120 driving our costs up. The city's portion is going to be approximately 410, 306 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:41,894 uh,159 for this renewal. >> I know a lot of insurance companies do a 307 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,480 lot of things like Mark's [clears throat] kind of trying to 308 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,960 prevent and are they are there any programs or anything they doing for help 309 00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:52,799 with any of that? >> Yes. So, they um they come in pretty 310 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:59,039 regularly and do um safety trainings with our supervisors. Uh we look at 311 00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:03,679 safety topics um uh with our employees as well like I'm working with them to 312 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:10,559 maybe do ergonometrics training with our employees uh to work on proper lifting. 313 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:15,039 Um but they are they are very frequently looking at our claims and seeing what 314 00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:21,440 what steps we can do to maybe prevent the next one. 315 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,919 What was the reason for the policy limit increase 316 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:30,080 » double? >> Um, we were looking at it because it the 317 00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:35,200 I guess the standard is kind of moving towards that million dollar limit versus 318 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:41,120 the 500,000. So, we were trying to stay in line with the the trends there. 319 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:45,679 » Talking talking about trends, what are you guys seeing? Are you guys being told 320 00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:50,480 what are we out of the norm to a city our size with our mod being where it's 321 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:53,760 at? Are they are they all battling the same battle or are we doing something 322 00:21:52,799 --> 00:22:00,480 wrong? >> We I don't think we're doing anything 323 00:21:56,159 --> 00:22:07,760 wrong. Um part of that is just the severity of the claims. Um like we we 324 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:13,840 lost an officer this year. Um that's a pretty significant driver. um other 325 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:20,799 cities are seeing similar trends as well. Um but is it usually comes back to 326 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:25,760 what the loss is and then what the um settlements may be and everything. 327 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:28,880 » It'd be nice if we could and I know it's not going to do anything for this one 328 00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:32,559 this year, but to start seeing some comparisons of some other cities similar 329 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,520 to ours to be able to do that and be able to 330 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:39,520 » say is there a way to do that with their workman's comp or do they share that? We 331 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,679 might be able to look at it as like as a percentage wise. Um, but every city's 332 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,200 payroll is a little bit different and it's based off a payroll and then what 333 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,480 risk codes are associated with the payroll. 334 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,360 » Yeah. >> Or with individual. So 335 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:57,760 » e mods. >> Yeah. 336 00:22:52,080 --> 00:23:00,000 » Um, we could probably ask that. Um, yeah, we could definitely look into 337 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,240 that. >> I don't want to be on the bottom of the 338 00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:06,559 curve. That's >> No, no, no. But [laughter] the other 339 00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:09,919 thing is is if we can, you know, help help that, 340 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,440 » I I want to know where we at, where we're at compared. I'd rather be leading 341 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,799 instead of following. So, >> Right. Right. 342 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,559 » That's the only reason why I said that. >> Yeah. 343 00:23:18,159 --> 00:23:24,080 » What was the budgeted amount in this past budget? 344 00:23:21,679 --> 00:23:30,640 » Uh, we did increase it significantly. Um, I believe our budget was right 345 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:36,440 around 600,000. So, we're actually going to come in a little bit under that, but 346 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,440 um 347 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:46,000 » this increase would take place. Uh our broker is is very proactive with our 348 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:52,320 workers compensation. He has worked with um for risk codes. there's a a range in 349 00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:57,360 which our underwriter can put us at for the specific risk code and pick and 350 00:23:54,559 --> 00:24:02,080 bottom has worked with MIM to get us to the lower end of that range for our 351 00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:06,159 risk. So throughout as you were talking about the best that we can do we are 352 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:10,080 actively monitoring that our broker is monitoring that for us and we're having 353 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:16,000 quarterly meetings.

Just say, "Hey, we we're better now than we were last 362 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:56,480 quarter." Or something like that would be nice. 363 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:59,919 Go ahead.

DPS is requesting to purchase one 2026 Dodge Durango from Landmark Dodge 411 00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:08,080 at the price of 42,136 and use the remaining budgeted dollars 412 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:13,520 to outfit it with necessary equipment. Uh Landmark is a state approved vendor. 413 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:17,440 A portion 28,98550 of this is being funded by the Blue 414 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:21,440 Shield grant. The funds from the vehicle and the equipment needed to outfit it 415 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:25,279 were included in the FY27 budget for DPS pending the award announcement of the 416 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:30,640 Blue Shield program. Uh the remaining balance which is 16775 for just the 417 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:36,240 purchase of the vehicle is uh being covered by drug seizure funds from DPS 418 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:39,039 and not part of general revenue.

So the the other funds that it's going to take it be like like $8,000 423 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,760 $9,000. Is that right? >> Estimated somewhere around 10 424 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,039 » 10. Okay. >> Yeah. It's once you put all the 425 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:07,279 emergency equipment plus installation. Uh that's for the emergency equipment 426 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:12,000 coming out of the budgeted funds. Right.

Next item, request for authorization to purchase used vehicles 457 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:50,320 for DPS. And Captain Smith, you're still up. 458 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:54,799 » Thank you. All right. DPS is requesting authorization to spend up to 25,000 to 459 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,960 purchase one or more used utility vehicles. The vehicles or the vehicle or 460 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:03,520 vehicles would replace utility vehicles in the DPS fleet that are no longer in 461 00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:08,320 service uh due to disrepair and their overall condition. 462 00:31:05,679 --> 00:31:13,279 Uh this just goes on. Because used vehicles 463 00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:16,559 uh inventory change so quickly, suitable vehicles may be sold before a specific 464 00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:21,039 purchase can be brought back to the city council for approval. Authorization for 465 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:25,600 an amount up to 25,000 would allow DPS to locate an appropriate uh appropriate 466 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:29,360 vehicle or vehicles, negotiate with the seller, and complete the purchase while 467 00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:32,320 the vehicle remains available. Any purchase under this authorization would 468 00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:35,840 be funded entirely with drug seizure money restricted to law enforcement 469 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,480 purposes. These funds are separate from the city's current operating budget. 470 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:43,200 Therefore, the request would have no financial impact on the city's uh 471 00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:46,960 current budget. The purchase procedure is consistent with the city of Syson's 472 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,919 current purchasing policy. Approving approval will provide DPS the 473 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,200 flexibility to replace out of service utility vehicles in a timely and 474 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,159 cost-effective manner. So, we're just seeking approval to proceed with those 475 00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:00,000 purchases. >> Any questions or comments? 476 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:03,600 » What What do you mean by utility vehicle? like a 477 00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:08,919 » we have use for vehicles at times that are not black and white patrol vehicles. 478 00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:08,919 » I got you. 479 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:16,320 » Any other questions or comments?

Uh, Sykes DPS 492 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,640 previously applied for grant funding to upgrade equipment technology on the 493 00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:58,640 department's mobile command truck, which was placed in service around 2009. Since 494 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,640 that time, several components have been updated, primarily computers and monitor 495 00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:06,399 equipment. Through various grant funding opportunities, DPS personnel consulted 496 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:10,960 with the trucks manufacturer, which was Frontline to identify operating 497 00:33:08,159 --> 00:33:13,679 equipment and determine the up determine the upgrades necessary to bring the 498 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:18,000 vehicle's technology and operating system current standards. Frontline 499 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:21,279 provided us two-phase proposal for the recommended improvements. The first 500 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:26,159 phase uh which you have in front of you is the KVM upgrade includes several 501 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:30,159 updates to the system that integrates the various computer programs and 502 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:36,080 operations on board the truck. Uh this first phase is estimated at 18538740. 503 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:46,080 Uh we applied for funding through the LEPA grant and was awarded 66,47747 504 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:49,840 during the 2425 grant cycle. In 2025, we uh had the opportunity to apply for the 505 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:56,080 additional funding. Obviously, the cost had increased a little bit. Uh so, we 506 00:33:52,399 --> 00:33:59,840 applied for 142,52253. Uh we were notified in 2025 that 507 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:07,279 application was approved for full funding. Uh we're requesting approval to 508 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:13,480 accept the 142,52253 grant award from the state of Missouri. 509 00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:13,480 It's a two-pager. 510 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:21,280 uh once the updated pricing we're working with frontline and McQueen who 511 00:34:17,839 --> 00:34:26,000 will do work.

Uh once we have 513 00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:34,159 those updated cost and timeline, we'll bring that back to council for approval 514 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:38,800 to proceed with those the first phase of upgrades.

Uh we uh Brian took Richard and I 610 00:41:19,359 --> 00:41:27,359 out there uh right after Richard take a look at it. And as you get out to the 611 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:33,599 further to the west, um there's, you know, it grows up with saplings and and 612 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:38,720 silts in and all kinds of stuff. >> Any other questions or comments? 613 00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:44,560 » Chair accept the motion. >> I move we award bid 27-08, 614 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:48,560 Greenbryer Ditch Mopping Clean Out to AC James Escavating. 615 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,720 » Second.

Um, so, uh, you know, that wasn't stopping them from 638 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:24,040 doing that in the first place. So, >> I guess I'm not I'm not understanding 639 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,040 what 640 00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:29,119 » are you talking about going on the gravel road from that point on? Is that 641 00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:33,680 what you're talking about? >> Yes, sir. So, the the road that leads in 642 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:37,760 is pavement and then you got the gravel that leads around to the gravel parking 643 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:43,680 lot. people were already getting off that going off into the grass. 644 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:46,960 » And Mr. Crow, later on we might look at putting some, you know, there's always 645 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:52,560 an opportunity that we might put some big rocks or something like that instead 646 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:56,640 of those ugly yellow posts with cables.

Please. 654 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:46,640 Good evening. I want to address three connected issues 655 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:51,440 » issues tonight with residents. What residents are being asked to pay 656 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:55,760 what we are investing in our children and the level of accountability we 657 00:44:53,599 --> 00:45:00,400 should demand when public money and surveillance technology are involved. 658 00:44:58,079 --> 00:45:06,720 First taxes and our children. Tonight's packet project appro pack packet project 659 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:13,760 projects approximately 2.16 million in city property tax revenue about 540,000 660 00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:19,680 at about 540,000 of that is especially 661 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:24,079 projected for the park fund. Yet families continue to see very few 662 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:29,040 meaningful accessible places and programs for our kids and teenagers 663 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,040 mainly. 664 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:36,960 I'm sorry. Um, 665 00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:43,359 to stay busy, build skills, and stay out of trouble. Tonight, the parks 666 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:49,119 department is also asking for a 29,800 for an LED sign at the Clinton building. 667 00:45:46,319 --> 00:45:54,960 I am not saying the sign is not important or improper. I am saying I am 668 00:45:52,560 --> 00:46:01,520 asking what with more than half a million dollars in projected park park 669 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:06,160 property tax revenue what percentage is actually being invested in youth 670 00:46:03,359 --> 00:46:11,200 programming recreation facilities and safe places for children. At the same 671 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:16,240 time, this agenda contains substantial public safety purchases and grants and 672 00:46:13,599 --> 00:46:21,520 approximate 81,000 prisoner transport van of 42,136 673 00:46:19,599 --> 00:46:28,000 Dodge Durango authority for up to 25,000 additional 674 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:33,680 use DPS vehicles and major technology grants. I understand some of these funds 675 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:38,960 are legally restricted and cannot simply be moved to parks. My question is 676 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:44,000 different. Are we pursuing grants and outside funding for our children with 677 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:50,800 the same intensity that we pursue funding our for enforcement and 678 00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:56,560 equipment? Second item J is not just a dash camera purchase. The council 679 00:46:53,119 --> 00:47:02,000 summary calls it a live year a five-year Motorola incar camera system, but 680 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:10,160 Motorola's actual quote expressly includes an M500 automatic license plate 681 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:14,640 reader or ALPR service together with cloud video storage. Before approving 682 00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:19,839 it, the public deserves to know what plate and location information will be 683 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:25,280 collected. How long will it be retained? Who can search it? Will every search be 684 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:30,400 audit audited? Can it be shared with other local, state, or federal agencies 685 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:36,079 outside of networks? Who owns the data? And has the city attorney reviewed the 686 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:40,640 complete privacy retention and data sharing terms? I am asking council not 687 00:47:39,119 --> 00:47:46,079 to approve the surveillance cap capability without first establishing 688 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:50,880 clear public safeguards and I know you've already passed it. 689 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:58,079 Third residents are already carrying substantial costs. 690 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:59,839 The proposed com I'm on it's only one paragraph left. 691 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:05,440 » Go ahead. >> Thank you.

Thank you. on the PCE 704 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:16,960 contamination of BMU. I know you told me last time to go to BMU and and Vestas 705 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:23,760 and DNR. I have I have been requesting 706 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:28,000 documents from DNR since back in April. I still the one request that I've made 707 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:34,240 has still not been fully fulfilled. It's been a delay after delay after delay. I 708 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:41,359 requested information from BMU and BMU told me that I asked for the accounting 709 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:47,280 of the amount of rate in what amount of the rate increases was um was obtained 710 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:52,079 for the phase one of the project that we're now in phase two of and what about 711 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:56,000 what amount of that had been spent and what it had been been spent on. They 712 00:49:54,400 --> 00:50:01,119 told me there was no accounting of that because there was no money that had been 713 00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:08,240 spent. They're not giving me accurate information. They're they're deflecting 714 00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:14,079 me and trying to brush it off. And at this point, it's it's to y'all y'all 715 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:18,960 the ones that they're a public provided utility company. You control the board 716 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:25,280 and everything. I mean, I don't know where it's to go at this point, 717 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:28,880 » but Okay, you went through like 10 different all at one time and a lot of 718 00:50:27,119 --> 00:50:32,960 them have already been passed, but the the the it the items that you were 719 00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:37,359 talking about, like you requesting documentation from DNR and them not 720 00:50:35,839 --> 00:50:40,559 giving you documentation, that has nothing to do. 721 00:50:38,319 --> 00:50:44,480 » They're giving it to me slowly. They're giving it to me, but like piece by 722 00:50:42,319 --> 00:50:49,440 piece. They're they're trying to I don't know why, but they're they're trying to 723 00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:52,000 delay or avoid giving it. Like I've been I'm telling you like I've been ever 724 00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:57,040 since the last time I was here talking about the PC examination, I have been 725 00:50:54,240 --> 00:51:01,920 working on this and I still have not got gotten these documents from three 726 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:06,160 different organizations. I mean, 727 00:51:03,839 --> 00:51:09,280 » well, the the DN I mean, us and the DNR, they I mean, they're 728 00:51:07,119 --> 00:51:12,480 » I know you don't control them, but BMU who is providing me with false 729 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:15,920 information >> or if not, then 730 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:18,240 » what false We have Rick Landers here tonight. What false information have 731 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,520 they provided? >> Well, you're telling me that no money 732 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:25,839 was spent out of the rate increases in phase one. 733 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:31,119 How's that possible? How are we completed with phase one? It it shows it 734 00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:34,720 in the thing that it costs money, but there was no money spent. 735 00:51:32,319 --> 00:51:36,880 » But But correct me if I'm wrong, Rick.

That's where I'm confused. I can tell 740 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:57,920 you narratively what's going on, but I if you continue to refer to it as phase 741 00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,440 one and phase two, that's confusing to me because I don't know which 742 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:05,200 looking at. >> It's the documents that y'all gave me 743 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,839 that notified it as phase one. >> In the rate increase that the council 744 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,640 passed, >> the first one, 745 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:16,880 » there was some, this is for water.

Yeah, they're getting reimbursed. Well, okay. Does that money 770 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:10,240 go if you paid for it out of the rate increases then does that money go back? 771 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:15,839 » The rate increases had nothing to do with the the the new wells that Vessus 772 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:18,160 approved to have have drilled. >> Correct, Rick. 773 00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:22,800 » Correct. >> So I mean that 774 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:25,920 the rate increases have nothing to do with those new wells that are 775 00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:28,880 replacement well eight and 11 or something whatever the wheel numbers 776 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:33,520 they were. >> Uh 81 777 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:37,440 » 8 and 11. So, but Tiffany, I appreciate your comments and if you if you have 778 00:54:35,359 --> 00:54:41,839 issues with DNR, see them. But if you if you also need more information from 779 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:46,319 please attend one of their meetings and they should or or or make a a special 780 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:51,440 appointment with BMU and set something up. 781 00:54:47,359 --> 00:54:55,680 » Okay. Okay. And what about the um the questions about the the tax that's 782 00:54:54,319 --> 00:54:59,119 being spent, the amount of money that's being spent 783 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,000 » on the on are you talking about on the parks and 784 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:06,079 » that can all be easily seen in the budget. It's got all the 785 00:55:04,079 --> 00:55:11,119 » No, I see where it's being spent. I I I listed where I heard where it was being 786 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:16,720 spent. But what I'm saying is why we're spending so much on on that stuff. Why 787 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:22,319 are we not spending more on things for because if I'm not mistaken, there's 788 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:28,160 been a lot of um a lot of issues with older teenagers and um law enforcement 789 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:31,359 and shootings and everything else. Every time you turn around, it's something 790 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:36,079 else going on. Well, probably because there's nothing for them to do here. 791 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:40,400 They have nothing else to do. All they can do is get in trouble. Why are we not 792 00:55:38,559 --> 00:55:43,839 looking into something that provides them something to do to stay out of 793 00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:49,359 trouble? Well, >> even when we do our um like our fishing 794 00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:54,799 derby and stuff, do you know that our 16 year olds and 17 year olds, they don't 795 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:59,599 have a spot to do to to participate in that? We're not even including them in 796 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:03,920 in our actual city events. >> Well, there there there's got you've got 797 00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:07,520 to stop everything at certain times. And and it's like, you know, like the youth 798 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:11,119 fishing tournament, you know, 15, 16 year olds don't need help from from from 799 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:14,960 people. They don't need help to help fish. Most of them don't. You know, 800 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:20,000 things like that when you got younger kids, they they're just now starting to 801 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:23,359 fish. I understand why they I mean, my kids went up through the same thing. 802 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:27,599 Everybody's kids do. It's no different than than little league and baseball and 803 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:32,559 everything else. There's age limits to everything, Tiffany.
