I'll call this committee of the whole meeting to order. City of International Falls. It's 400 PM on Monday, September 8th. Let's say the pledge. >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. [Music] All members are present. We'll move to old business.
First with Sherry Stenland, human resources and safety director. Good afternoon. >> Hello again. Um employment related updates. Uh seven of the nine summer staff are done. So
two are staying on for the time being. Um assisting with one another duties. Um and I continue to track their day work as so uh we have received four applications for the parks and facilities assistant job
and I will review those with the department on Monday. Uh and I did get posted internally that maintenance worker equipment operator position and that I will take down tomorrow and then review with the department um how they would like to
proceed based on who's who signed that posting. Under employee related updates um I am having ongoing discussions with the union regarding the Geotab preventive maintenance program. So that's still in process.
I I'm coordinating with the M um U Minnesota State Retirement Services for a plan rep to do a site visit. They'll be here Tuesday, September 23rd with any employees who'd like to sign up for that. So, uh oh, the other thing in your packet,
you should have the RFP from the life insurance that the city is required to do every five years. So, basically, we got two viable RFP staff. One was for Sunlight, one was for Lincoln.
Yes, Lincoln. Um they offered very comparable bit bids. So the rates were the same for two years. They both guaranteed the rates for two years. Um they kept the guarantee issue amounts of um 100
to um 25 I'm sorry 100 for employees and 25,000 for spouses. So that remains the same. and they both agreed to increase the maximum coverage amount for employees from 300 to 500 and for the spouse from
150 to 250. So um up to that point they're the same. The only difference is that Lincoln has did agree to offer one time uh full open enrollment uh plan takeover. However, I think the important thing to remember with that is anything
above the guarantee issue still requires evidence of insurability. So that doesn't mean employees are going to be able to go over that 150 amount that they currently have if they have elected that. They're still going to have to do the evidence of insurability regardless.
Um my recommendation would be um to stay with some money. We offer the the benefits open enrollment annually. People can go above that amount um at that point with the evidence of insurability. Um I get very few on it.
So, and we've had really good service through Sunlight. So, I'm requesting to move that to the city council meeting on Monday that we move forward with Sunlight. >> Thank you, Sher. Is there a motion to move the
life insurance to the city council meeting on next Monday night? >> So, move. >> Motion by councelor Wagner. >> Second. Second by councelor Holden. Discussion question. >> I >> I >> I
>> I vote yes. That is carried unanimously for Monday night. >> Perfect. I also wanted to let you know things are moving along now and developing with uh the paid leave policy. Um so or the paid Minnesota paid leave and I am developing a policy.
That's what I should say. Um we are also required to ask an employer to send out employ communications for distribution by December 1st. So, I'm still waiting to see what their M notice looks like so that we can get that out to all by then.
Um, but I should have the policy uh to you in the next month or two. Um, the recommendation from the league is that we we still hold off just we don't know. And I don't know, did any of you hear they were talking about doing a special session? I know it was for guns, but
they can open it up to anything if they do a special session. I haven't heard if they decided to move forward with that. >> Nothing yet. >> Nothing yet. Okay. All right. So, I mean, potentially if they did that, they could talk about Minnesota is my
understanding. I don't think they would, but they could. Um, and then, uh, safety committee still waiting for updates on the safety grant application. >> Any questions?
>> Questions from council? The uh paid leave one though you're talking about is the FMLA paid leave. >> Yes. Um they they've kind they've um they're they've uh renamed it. Okay. >> Minnesota pay is what they're calling it now. So MNPL
>> Okay. >> Yeah. But yes, exactly. >> So we're waiting for grants for the cameras and >> Yep. That is what >> waiting to get back uh waiting to get additional updates and information on that.
>> See where that sits. >> He did tell me there should be some information coming out this weekend to watch for it. So >> great. Thank you. >> All right. Next is our rental licensing report from
Fire Marshall Baldwin. >> Thank you, Mayor. In your packet, um the rental licensing report for the month of August. Month of August is our renewal period. Renewals were sent out in June um and were due September 1st.
Um so no inspections were completed in um August. Um, as of today, there's four landlords um that haven't turned in their renewals for a total of 11 properties. Um, all the rest have submitted their paperwork
and their money to the city for the renewal for 2526. So, that's probably the best year we've had since we started with getting compliance from everybody, getting everything turned in. Um, so that was good. Um, so as far as rental licensing,
things are continuing like they have the last couple years and the process is I guess been established now. So people understand that they need to get that turned in on time because the very few properties we had
last year, you know, there's a $100 fee plus a $500 late fee that's assessed to the rental property. So, um that's moving along. Any questions on that?
>> Are these four that you don't have? Are they continually being >> not doing it or? >> No, they they've done it in the past for some reason. Haven't turned them in yet this year. And we reached out to them and they said they're going to get turned in. We just haven't seen the paper. >> Okay. I just Thank you.
>> Yeah. So it's, you know, these properties that haven't been turned in were inspected last year. So it's I'm assuming they just got overlooked in the next week or so. >> White uh BL report also in your packet. Um
year to date. Um as you can see, we're I think we're moving on to the fourth or fifth page. um it been as we started enforcing this, you know, where it started out where we
weren't getting a lot of compliance, but it's slowly been getting better. Um I had to turn the first property over to Chelsea uh last week. That's a repeat offender that we've been having issues with on that address is a lot of you guys are familiar with it. It's on 9th
Avenue, East 15th Street. getting a lot of complaints from the neighbors on all four sides of it. Um, and it's they just do enough and then the next month they let it go again. So, Chelsea's going to work on that one. Um, we do have a few
that we're continuing to work with the property owners on as long as they're showing, you know, making an attempt and slowly working on it. Um, but, uh, other than that, we're pushing through. So
questions on light >> questions. >> You've had good success with Andy and the cutting of the grass. >> Yeah, Andy's really good. You know, it's just with everything the cost of everything continue to go up and
>> myself and Chief Manasa have had some conversations on way to try to streamline that process for some of these properties and you know the that's getting build back to us. You know, we have a lot of properties that are going tax forfeit and he has reduced his
lawnmowing rate for tax forfeited properties. Um, but those ones are usually uncontested. There's nobody there. We're just going in and mowing these because they haven't forfeited yet. They're, you know, they're at the end of their two-year, you know, tax forfeiture.
So, you know, so we're trying to figure out a way to figure out if you know there's a way for us to do that internally, most of those tax forfeited ones to try to offset cost because it's a lot more expensive to have him do it.
you know, he's usually, you know, depends on if he's got one or two guys and, you know, very rarely do we see a bill for under 75 bucks and it might take a half an hour, might take 20 minutes, some of them. So, we're trying
to look at ways to save money on that, you know, and it's just one of those things where I've been, some of them I've been trying to leave until they call, so we haven't been going routine, you can let me go a
little bit longer, you know, so till the neighbor calls, but once they call, then they're mad. They're mad because it got to that point, you know. So, >> yeah, >> it's it's tough. So, >> how many vehicles do you have in the
impound block? >> 11 right now. and they're they're all over. They're I think we just sent the letters out a couple weeks ago notifying them of that. Um and most of them are are not going to
be redeemed, so we're going to have the ability to to do something with them after. I mean, their time's pretty much up already. We just sent them their final notice. Um so there's uh we'll be able to do some stuff there. There are
some other vehicles that we're working on that We're trying to figure out how to get to them because since we sent the letter, property owner has blocked them in. So there's multiple vehicles around them or the parking stuff so you can't get to them. So um so yeah, there's there's
still vehicles that will be going in there. Questions? >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Next is our building official, Mr. Kelly Meyers, with his monthly report. Mayor
Council, thank you. Uh, not a whole lot to report this month. We have a bit of activity, but it's all small projects again. So, it's fall. So, actually, the last few days been pretty busy. They're
actually picking up with a lot of the people think they need to get actually picked up quite a bit. Take our numbers. >> Fantastic. questions for Mr. Meyers.
>> Thank you. At this point, we'll move to new business and I'd like to invite fire chief EMS Director Manassa forward. >> Thank you, Mayor. please. >> Uh, I've been working with T-Mobile for
the last couple months probably. Uh, originated through, uh, Todd setting this appointment up for me here. But, uh, we got two quotes from, uh, T-Mobile. They're trying to kind of make a run into the public safety sector, and they're doing a really good job with
what they're doing on their their, uh, priority networks. So, we're we're looking at that. They are building a tower up here. actually how it's built. It'll go live on January 1st up towards the lake to give expanded coverage here. There's a couple things that I want to
talk about. So, the two quotes you have in front of you, uh there's a at the bottom of each page, there's a monthly service cost. One is 257 and one is 274. And then just above that number is a total hardware cost. And there's a drastic difference in the hardware cost.
One's $98 and one's just about $3,200. And what I want to explain to that is so each plan is the same as far as two phones, two iPads, and then the priority service line on those. And the
difference is the internet connection or the what would create the Wi-Fi connection in the ambulances. So when we transferred over to our new operating software, kind of last step in the in the pie for that to make that system work is Wi-Fi in the ambulances. So for
the ambulance originator runs, we need to have a internet service connection. We have to do something. The cheap end, the $98 one is uh with a my inseal my five pro 5G. Um
and the What the guy told me was I think it'll work was the words he said. The more expensive option is the cradle point R98 uh which comes at a greater value or greater expense but he said I know that'll work. So uh that's the
difference in these two quotes here. So a couple of the big advantages for the thin mobile is uh again their public priority lines. So the the two things that are appealing to us is there is no fee for Canada. It's considered local.
So it doesn't matter if we hit a Canadian tower or not. There's no difference and the phones or the devices don't know the difference to that. The other thing with the priority network that they have set up for public safety is um down towards the bottom. So on the on
the MiFi we get unlimited user but we're also subject to what's called fair usage. So if that if that system is being bogged down or being used, we could get kicked off of that. So on the more expensive side, we get the first responder
unlimited data router which gets us through to the priority system. So what they do on the priority system that they do different than any other company you guys might have heard of first net in FirstNet. Unfortunately, uh FirstNet covers 98% of the state of Minnesota.
We're in the 2% that's not covered by FirstNet. What T-Mobile does different is their priority network, their backup defaults to satellite. So it's just like a satellite phone then. So as long as it reaches a satellite, it gets service. So they use the Starlink system. So when
they drop service on their antennas, then they go to the Starlink system for a backup redundant system. So uh I am advocating for the more expensive side. Um, and just for the known side of this,
uh, the equipment fee or the hardware fee, uh, would be split. Well, most of that would go on the ambulance side other than the $400 for the iPads. The expenses in the antennas and the cradle points, so the hardware side of it. Uh,
and then the monthly fee is again $20 more than the other setup, but that would be split between the four ambulances and then the so some would be on the ambulance side, some would be on the fire side. This is within our automation budget on both departments. We can make that work. So, I would be
asking to move forward the um the cradle point, the more expensive quote. Um, I like the idea of guaranteed work instead of I think it'll work, but that's what I'd be advocating for. >> Could I I know what priority means, but
if you could explain for some that may have a question. >> So, the priority on both the uh voice, text, and data. So if you're a priority, so if the system gets bogged down, um the non-priority or the general public
gets kind of kicked off the system, your phone will get or your call will get dropped. The priority preeemption make sure that your phone call goes through and always goes through. So that's why they offer that for first responders. So a big part of where this started with cell phones and even the 800 meghertz or
the armor radio system was the I35 bridge collapse in the city. So that's when we first really identified that in the public as a problem and we saw that as an issue. So that's how where all of these things have kind of generated from is that event. But that guarantees that
the people that uh need the cell service or the phone service to run a run a call or something have that. >> It's in the automation budget. >> Yes. >> I will move. Thank you, Councelor Chandler. >> Um, councelor Bowler with a second
discussion >> question. Go ahead. >> Can I ask one question, Mayor? >> Yep. >> So, this this hardware cost that's a onetime cost. >> That's a one time >> and then is there the is there life on the phones and how often do you have to
buy a phone or what do you know what the future of them are with costs or >> that? I don't know. On the introductory side, you can see they waved uh doesn't matter which plan we did, they did wave the cost of the phones and the bulk of the iPads.
>> Uh again, the the recurring cost is the difference of the 257 or the 274, but the hardware initial upfront cost is the >> big delineator. >> Yep. Okay. Thank you. And if there's before we move to vote, I
mean we can bring more information small things to the council meeting. >> Certainly. >> So >> question. >> I >> I >> I >> I'll vote yes. >> Thank you, chief. >> Next is
recommendations from legislation and land use committee. The first being the 2026 business license fee schedule, which would be a portion of the fee schedule. Correct?
>> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Um, before we vote on that or however we're going to do this, I need want to point out I don't think that
it's a it's a Chelsea question. um for the data request going from 15 cents a page to $40 an hour for a 1 hour minimum for foyer requests.
Um I mean I don't know what the law is. It doesn't seem reasonable because >> I can have the answer by council meeting but I don't think I'll get it that fast. >> Okay. or I'll work on it during while you're meeting. >> Yeah. And that's it's
just so you know, the question wasn't designed to put you on the spot immediately. I guess there has been first of all I want to point out there's been a considerable amount of time spent on the fee schedule by staff and councelor Wagner and thank
you. Um some of it is outdated and now hopefully it's brought up to where the realities of today are. Um, so that would be my only um
question. I and I do believe there's some statutes that cover the fees that what you can and can't I mean up like the pages but and a lot of it will be what they got to
do to get the info right hourwise and stuff but that would be answered in >> right >> statute but this would be close nothing oh >> I got nothing Okay. >> Is the idea that we want to add this
portion to the council meeting to approve? >> Yes. >> Next Monday. >> Yes. Cuz um our thoughts were to implement these fees in 2026. We will be doing business license fees here come around the 1st of October. So um in order to get these implemented into the
system, we're going to have to send a few letters out. There's been a few changes. >> Um additional information that's going to be required from the businesses, especially if you're a club. we're going to need to know memberships, things like that. Um to be able to get everybody licensed in time by the first of the year. >> Okay. >> We've been working on this since
February of 2024. So, a lot of work has went into it by the legislation land use committee and um I think we got a pretty good document here. And then the other department's fees will be presented later this year. >> And if there was something that came up,
if we did add to a council meeting, we could amend it. >> Yep. >> Yes. >> Yes. So, with that being said, I would ask for a motion to add the new business license fee schedule to the next city council meeting. >> I'll make that motion. >> Thank you, councelor Holden. >> Second.
>> Thank you, Councelor Wgner. Is there discussion, >> please? >> Yeah. So, on the data request, why that's there is because the data requests are considerably amount amount of time that these people in the office have to do to get those pages to people.
I get the 15 cents per page, but you've had hours long data requests. Am I right? >> Yeah. So, in the past, we did not have a data request fee, but we did have a a paper copy fee. So, that's what we were charging them them that at least something. So, they were being charged
something. But we recently had uh 65 requests from one person and it took us hours of many days, weeks. It took us over the seven day seven-day requirement to get it done. >> No, I understand. And there and there is unless it's changed since I was involved
in data requests that yeah if it becomes too exhaustive or whatever then you can charge by what the person makes now or whatever now or whatever >> but but no like when but Chelsea you'll
find those answers. I'm just going from >> what I remember, but like yeah, these extensive ones where they got to spend 3 hours, >> which also means not that people aren't allowed to, but then there's other things that aren't getting done and takes them away.
>> Then when they take the time and next thing you know, the person, so I changed my mind. >> And that's what happened in the 65. >> That's what happened with that one. >> Well, I told them I told them in the same week, >> weeks worth of work and then they just said, "No, >> it is." >> Unreal.
Well, I I mean I see three things happening. One, we can alleviate some of it by putting things some things online. Granted, people still ask where do I find it? you're you know I agree with you that if
a request becomes burdensome then it it is at a cost to the taxpayers but is what I definitely want to have a type of fail safe on is that if um well we have citizen members and if they want
to come and get a page of data and pay a dollar 15 cents for something that's relatively elementary to find and doesn't have to be data mined I don't see why they should be penalized for wanting to be engaged in the community. But in fairness, we have been getting
those requests. So I I see both sides of it. Um >> we can charge actual time. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So um for example, just looking through, city of Minneapolis charges 30 an hour and does one quarter hour increments and
you are allowed to charge for demonstrable actual time collecting the data and that sort of thing. maximum for the copies for a data request is 25 cents per page. Um, we have only 15 cents a page, but
they don't recommend flat fees, but I don't think we were really looking at a flat fee structure. There's an hourly basis. >> Yeah. >> Would maybe recommend doing quarter hour increments, but >> yeah. So, the the law and advice states
kind of what we just discussed, I think. So, thank you. Chelsea, >> did you want to make a recommendation for that to stay as is or >> I think we can
we can discuss it at the meeting. >> That's fine. >> I'll send you the call on it. >> Question. I >> I >> I >> I vote yes. That is added to the next
city council meeting. Thank you. Next is the long awaited cannabis ordinance >> and you cough. That's classic. >> What? What? >> Thank you to all involved in this
process. Thank you to Chelsea and thank you to Councelor Wagner. >> Yep. >> This predates my involvement I think about a year. Um and there's a lot to digest or process whatever the term is
with >> any ordinance. This one um I believe was quite technical and how this can all go on is laid out in different towns and >> um what the guidance from the state has been. Um
so if there's just any discussion before we potentially move it to council, I'm actually going to pass it on to councelor Wagner. >> That's fine. Um, >> so this was kind of a moving ball the whole time we did this. It
changed it seemed like every week for a while there and it got better after that, but um, at least this way we're there if someone comes to us and wants to start one of these. >> There's a lot of pages of technical, isn't it? >> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Can I add something? I did receive a call last week of someone interested. >> Yes. So, um they have applied for is it the OEM license through the state? Um and we'll
be able to sell effective October 1st. >> Did they get that license through the state? >> They applied. >> Yeah. >> So, they got to get that first, >> right? >> Yeah. >> And the the deadline to apply was August 31st and they applied and they did have a license previously. Um, so we do have
one on the radar. >> I mean, and they are they already have the business downtown. So, >> yeah. And Chief Kosik also helped us with this, too. What we needed for the police to what they can do with the ordinance.
So, >> thank you, Chief. >> I just like thank him to Yeah. everybody involved because he said it started that you could sell, you know, if they legalize it, but then there's a lot of changes since that first move.
>> Yeah. >> That being said, I would motion this to council. >> Thank you, Councelor Kaylor. >> Second. >> Thank you, Councelor Bullard. More discussion. >> Mayor, if I could just add a little bit. Um, this is more for public knowledge.
Um, because probably very few people want to read this. um word for word um to try to understand it. This is very similar um very similar to what was approved by the county. So there's not a lot of changes that you need to look for
in there. If anyone wants specifics on what might be a little bit different, they could certainly reach out to me. Um if they reach out to council and you want to offer that answer, I could provide it, too. Um but it is very similar to what the county ended up um approving. So we're not doing anything
crazy here. Nothing. >> Thank you. Any more discussion? Question. >> I I >> I >> I'll vote yes. The cannabis ordinance language can be moved to the city
council meeting. Thank you. Any other business for new business? >> Oh, yes. After our committee of the whole, I can just take care of this if you like, Mike, or if you want to come up. and Mike brought to my attention that the uh school has requested a
temporary stop sign at 15th Street and 15th Avenue coming from the north. From the north, there's already three there and because of uh the new pickup they're
having temporarily with the construction to work with the traffic flow. Is that about it? Yeah. >> You should be familiar. Well, that's right by your >> Is it going to be at where that sign used to be then? >> Yeah. Right on the >> As you're going,
>> it'll be a three-way stop instead of a two-way that they have there now. Right at that point. >> Yeah. It'll be where the sign used to be before they put the one by my house. Then right right heading south right on the corner of 50. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I can see that. >> Yeah. Just for
>> that work. That would >> Yeah. traffic flow with the kids. >> Give the people that are going there to pick their kids up at least a chance to get out without waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting until cars are done. >> Good.
I move that we do it or move to council or whatever we got to do. >> Okay. For a temporary stop sign on 15th Street and Fifth Avenue. >> 15th by Paul's Elementary there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Second. >> I'll second it. Oh, go ahead,
>> Councelor Buller and Councelor Holden. >> Um, >> I see the importance there. Yeah. >> No, absolutely. >> I watched the pickup and everything and it's Yeah, much needed >> discussion. Question.
>> I >> I >> I >> I'll vote yes. That can be moved to next council meeting. Thank you. Any other business? I have one, >> please. >> Um, Betty and Lisa, this person that contacted the two of them, um, there
have been throughout the entire process of the legislature updating and that sort of thing, there have been multiple deadlines. We do have one deadline coming up, um, between October 1st and October 31st, like Lisa had mentioned, and that is the window that this particular person is looking to sit in.
Um, and part of their application process is they have to abide by any of the local requirements like this one. >> Um, if we don't have this in place, they kind of get licensed without this. Um,
so what Betty and I, Betty suggested is we have the first reading at the regular city council meeting coming up and then add second reading to September 22nd >> 22nd >> special city council meeting to push this through before that October 1st,
October 31st window. >> Um, so that it applies to unilaterally to all the businesses that'll be applying. >> Yeah. >> Yep. and the special si. So that'll be a new special city council meeting. >> It can be added to that same special
city council meeting. It's a separate agenda item, >> right? We had got done away with the ambulance one though. >> But I believe you guys were going to be scheduling a special council meeting on that date to set your preliminary. >> Yeah. For the budget. >> Oh, okay. I'm sorry. >> That date. >> Okay. So, we're going to have one either way.
>> Got it. It doesn't matter. So if if indeed we do set it on that you know that your preliminary budget for that date we would be asking to add it on that date or have it on that date >> which is the 20 September >> 22. Yep. September 22nd >> and we can the first reading of an
ordinance has to be at a regular meeting. Second readings can be at a special meeting. >> Got it. >> So we are still within compliance. >> Okay. that I don't think we need a motion to add that to the council meeting because
we'll already be reading it. So, >> any other business, >> please. >> Would you want to give us an update on LEC? >> Sure. >> I know even I have it. >> That is
a good question. So there will be an addition I believe to the agenda tomorrow. There's a county board meeting and take formal action then proceed with the lease papers. This was all discussed at the last board meeting.
So that's the update that I have. Y >> and so I I guess my only question is I mean What could go wrong? Well, I guess we'll find out.
>> So, in other words, it's coming to us pretty soon. >> Yeah, I think they need to formalize >> formalize it the the lease offer and which I think would probably just coincide with the draft agreement which then we would give to Chief Kick
and Attorney Nelson and Administrator Bergstrom and the council. to review. >> Probably be within the first part of October probably by the time everything. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. I would say that that's cuz they have two more meetings this year. >> They got two more meetings. >> Okay. >> I got a question too. How are we doing on the ambulance deal? Any no new news or
>> uh Yes. I believe that was discussed at either a county board meeting or committee of the whole and they are meeting. They are on Commissioner Shoblam and Roach are on the Reineer city council meeting agenda
this week and are approaching them about the ambulance service. Um I don't know that that means anything more or less than being on the agenda. Um, I'm led to believe that they're going to
ask for cooperation. >> Um, but it's uh time's marching on. >> So, they're on the agenda to speak to the Rainineer City Council, >> Ricky Roach
and Jason Schol. >> Correct. >> Okay. And I believe that they're intending to approach uh the council obviously in person and and bring it up. >> Okay. But I I mean I know that we set a
deadline and I hate to I don't want to I think we're going to know by the atmosphere or the attitude how this is going to go. And I don't know what the appetite of the council is going to be, but I don't think we can get led down a
path that ends not to bear fruit. So, >> right. >> Thank you. >> You bet. >> Everything that I know uh I have shared, >> not a lot. We'll probably uh see on
KCCTV the outcome of um the meeting or one of our or all of our phones will ring probably all of them or an email. Who knows? >> Um >> any other business? >> So, uh myself and councelor Kaylor are
part of this Kerry Park thing. >> So, uh who are we talking to? Do we anybody >> that would >> Jared, do you got any idea who's going to talk with us or? >> Yeah, we got a a group that we put
together um from the board. So, we have a meeting and I can finalize it and send it to you or text you. But our next meeting is 24th. a couple weeks,
but we can meet before then if we need to. >> Well, well, no, we were just wondering what who or who. >> Yeah, Josh is our president and he'll be he'll be the main contact with you guys. >> Okay. >> So, I can you guys don't mind I can give
him your phone number and you can start a little group text or something. You can kind of schedule a first meeting or something with him. >> Yeah. either that he can also reach out to Betty or uh Lisa too and we can
