I will hit button. Do you want to hit start? >> Recording in progress. >> Recording in progress. All right. Good evening. It's Thursday, Feb February 12th, um 700 p.m. Calling the Lunberg Finance Committee meeting to order. And in

United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. Um,
the first thing is announcements. I do not have any announcements. Does anyone else have any that they want to share? All right. Uh, next up is public comment. Is there any public comment from the public?
Is there any public comment from the committee? >> Um, yes I do. So I I have been collecting some data to
um regarding you know overall services provided by schools and what I'm doing is just sharing with you all the data that I collected and this information has also been
shared has been shared with the school Um and and that's off. So I just want to share the same information with you guys and so that when it becomes relevant for
discussion, you will have the same data that I do. >> Okay. Can you find maybe a spot in the um SharePoint to upload this probably in the school's budget or something like that
>> so that it's persisted? All right, thank you. Uh, any other public comment? All right, moving right along. Town manager and finance director reports. >> Nothing. Okay.
>> Yeah, we can talk about that. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, the first thing on the agenda is the preliminary budget. Um, and we're probably going to have to move this off to a future week. Um, I'll have
to talk with town manager um about the calendar that we had laid out. Um, we're having some changes to it. So, I'll uh kind of work through that. Um, schools, I think I sent a note to all of you. Schools is going to push out a
week. We're going to bring three of the other four, maybe four a week, but maybe now we need to push everyone out another week. So, a little bit of movement that we'll have to work through, but u maybe um Jen, if you could uh give like maybe a highlevel overview of the preliminary
budget. Um >> I can give you an overview, Mr. Chairman, of kind of the process of where we are and where we think we're going to go. So, um, we first of all, we, uh, are going to both be here on Monday, uh, the holiday working together. We think that we'll actually
be able to get quite a lot done without the interruptions. Um, but there's really one of the biggest challenges is that there are quite a lot of moving parts in this that are still moving. We have three active uh, bargainings going
on. Fire, DPW, clerical union all at the same time. Um we are doing other things that we have heard in response to uh some of the comments at the tri board meetings um you know that will have budgetary savings but they take time to
work through some of that. Um so there's a lot that's going on that's changing. Um we're going to try to nail down as much of that as we can into a preliminary budget but then continue to revise and go along on the way. But um the one big thing is we got our health insurance number yesterday. Our actual
health insurance number is 8.85%. Um I'm hesitant to say that that's good, but um you know I commented that to the to the uh rep that well I'm I'm happy to hear it but it's pretty sad that I'm saying that I'm happy to hear an 8.85%
increase. So um that's where we're at. Um I don't know >> and I forget if you said it last time or if you just said it to me, but part of the 8.85% 85% came with reductions in service, right? >> No. >> GLP1s or
>> Oh. Oh. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So, that um Sorry, I thought you were talking about something else with the PEC agreement, which we're also negotiating because we are looking at the PEC with the PEC at potentially uh not a rate change, but a plan design change. Um so,
and and sweetening that opt out to a point where we can actually potentially get some people to opt out. that'll be close to coming before the select board I think in early March. Um, circling back to your question though which was about the uh the service reduction. Yes,
Maya um voted to reduce uh the services by eliminating GLP-1 drugs and that is what has caused the um the big reduction from what we were looking at originally over 20s. >> Are they still offering JP1s for um
people with diabetes? Uh so they are they are only right not the weight loss so only only the uh weight loss I believe but the the if you have a prescription for a GLP1 drug to treat your diabetes I think that's a little
different. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Um >> and that's as of for staff that's might not have heard that that's watching that's as of July 1st. So you're good until then.
That's that's like a statewide thing now though, right? Like they're like everybody's leaning that way. Like the insurance companies are pushing that. Correct. >> So yeah, it's not necessarily a statewide. It's probably more of a nationwide thing at this point, right? That um but this was for everybody that's in our our health insurance that
is statewide. It's vast majority of municipalities are in that health insurance. They all that it was a decision made for all. We couldn't alart pick and choose that. Um, but it is it does seem to be the trend that a lot of health insurers are dropping the GOP ones for weight loss.
>> Okay. Any other questions? >> All right. Do we think next week we'll do >> I'm really I think we will. I think we will. Yeah, I do too. >> Okay. So then probably >> we will push some of the others >> forward or
>> I mean things are going to even so with their but so you you would be hearing from um police, fire and facilities. Right. Right. >> So some of those bigger changes that we're talking about potentially and the negotiations their budgets are still
going to change after >> Yeah. >> um >> after next week anyways. So, I think that I think that I don't see a reason why they couldn't still present next week as well. >> I guess my only concern would be the length of the meeting. You know, >> doesn't get better from here.
>> I understand, but somehow we got to balance it so that, you know, we're not going to midnight like we have in the past. So >> um so with that um I you know I go through budgets you know I think the way
people should go but I I I don't I would like us to not be getting bud like I need five business days so that I can fit my my work and time to analyze a new budget. So
>> I I like if we're seeing a budget like I last year I remember getting the school department was like it hit my inbox at 6:00 p.m. and then I was here 7. Um so I I don't know if we can get the budgets ahead of time, you know, with some
periods so that we can actually have time to read it. >> So So what what we're talking about is coming in on the holiday together to do it. Um I don't know that we'll be able to finish it on Monday. So you de definitely regardless it won't be five
business days. Um I don't without sitting there and going through. I mean you'll get it once we're done. I think we are we're cautious that we don't want to release something that's incorrect, >> right? >> Okay. So if we put the preliminary budget aside, what about DPW? I mean um facilities. They're all They'll all be
ready to go um >> by >> by next th Oh, so we could get um so a lot of folks aren't working tomorrow because it's Friday, but we could get you their packets of information on Monday. You should be able to have those on Monday. >> But their packets won't have the budget
piece, right? >> Their budget. >> They don't have not the So, they'll have their elements of their their discrete sections of the budget. >> Okay. So there are parts of the budget that you are you have finalized? >> No. So what I what I said on that is
that their budgets there I mean so we have let's take um let's take facilities for example. >> Facilities there is two uh members of the staff that are in um the teamsters union the DPW teamsters union. That
contract is not going to be finalized until I don't know when. Right. So that budget is going to likely change potentially after you get the presentation. So nobody I when you said finalized, I just want to be clear. Nobody's really going to be finalized,
right? These are still preliminary. But I think that in terms of those three budgets in particular, um I think that there's no reason that they couldn't present to you next week. I think that they're firm enough to present to you. Gotcha. >> Does that make sense that it they're
firm enough? Yeah, it it's in my mind I'll think their piece are part of your preliminary budget. So what I hear is there's probably parts of your preliminary budget that's already finalized. >> Well, like health insuranceances, >> right? >> Right. That's how that's done now.
>> And what is can you tell us how you going to be presenting the budget if it's uh level service, level fun like what is going to be the strategy? So the strategy is going to be presenting a level service budget and explaining anything that's above that level service
requests that may be things that you've heard from the tri board but identifying anything that's still presenting it excuse me and identifying that they're above level service so you can see the differentiation. >> So let me cl so we talked a bit about
this um with the chairs as well as the finance directors and town manager and superintendent. What we're going to hear is a level service budget, but a level service budget um is not
um probably going to be a balanced budget. So, the we're going to hear a level service budget. We're going to hear requests for above level service or perhaps restorative services. So, the school has some that they may want to restore that were cut in the past. we're
then going to have to reconcile off of how we get to a balanced budget, >> right? >> Um in the town meeting. >> So, I think we got to there's two things that we got to keep in mind. We we want to go through all the the budgets with our fine tooth comb like we normally do
and look for errors and look for where there could be savings, etc., etc. But I think as a group, we've all got to keep in mind that across everything, we're probably dealing with three budgets. Again, level service, which
will require probably an override. Um, increase service off of that, or restorative, that would require maybe a larger override, and then where we would cut to get to a balanced budget, which
could be the state we're in leaving town meeting. But that would mean that we would be reducing >> um services. >> Yeah. And can I just add one more clarification in the level service budget that I'm presenting, there will also be some cuts that we're doing
because some of those cuts are I'm going to use a benign relatively benign one for example sake right now. But um the cut from 5 days a week of it to four days a week of it. that that is some a cut that's happening regardless.
>> Um, also I feel like what we're going to be hearing next week, fire, police, facilities, their budgets are pretty clear. They deliver like very clear budgets and questions we can ask here can be generally answered like on the spot. Whereas a the school budget, that's where I think we need to like
dedicate like a whole meeting and have questions ready or maybe submit questions to the school committee or talk about it at a tribard meeting before that happens so that we can have a productive meeting and not, you know, back and forth back and forth. >> But we need to get a budget ahead of
time, you know, with enough notice. Like most of us work full-time, right? And um didn't they present to us? >> Well, they presented to us at the tri board, but now they've >> they've finalized it. >> Um I think we'll get a better
>> presentation than we have the last two years. >> Y >> maybe more so like we had when they had a full-time business manager, HR director, and the >> it was uh more formulated and >> um but I agree. I mean, we need time for
our rule has always been um 48 hours before so um you know by Tuesday to have it that can still be difficult. We were trying to get even more time but um hadn't quite built up to that. So
>> um so also something that we had identified last year as related to the school budget and this is something I was going to was going to be my my comment for the closing of the agenda but I since we're talking about budget and how
budgets are presented especially for the schools um one thing we identified last year was that the budget that they come to us that say this is last last year's budget was different than the budget
presented to public in public hearing because they would go after town meeting they can they can still change their budget until like June 29 and get it approved and upload those changes into the budget. So then the report that is
spits is the the 29 the June 29 but that's not the budget that was presented in the finance committee public hearing or the school. So what I would like to do is to ask that we send a note from
the fincom that we request that the FY27 budget to be aligned with FY26 and FY25 budget as presented to the FinCon during the FinCon budget hearings. um and that you know either they present
a level service budget or they presented a a budget that it is easily identified what's extra and also FTE for every sal salary line I mean this is a very common practice on
many school budget is just you know you have a line how many people how many FTE there and something that they used to happen that is stopped happened I think in 2020 which is a an athletic department budget all encomp
encompassing that includes expenses paid by the revolving account because that was something else that we run into issues like when we going to look at the FY25 budget you know there was an extra $140,000 paid in transportation because they were counting to pay on that so um
these are the four items that identified that I from memory last year and And you know, it'll be great if we can make this as a request from the group. >> Yeah. Yeah. And I and I think we talked
with both Chris and Karen at the meeting that I I mentioned that we had on Friday of last week that as we start to get through the crisis that we're in kind of budgetarily and and the accounts and all
the extra work that everyone's doing and maybe schools is almost at that point that when we get back into a situation where we're getting quarterly finance reports from the schools and from the towns. These are the things that will be part of it. And one of the things I did
say is that we should have all those approved budget changes itemized in such a way that it's obvious to us how we went from the approved uh town meeting budget to the state we're in to what we're in maybe 3 months later, etc., etc. Um, and Chris
committed that that was something very easily, you know, for him to do. So is this something that we want to do a vote to request these four things and then we can you know so that we are clear on how we're asking their budgets to be
presented. >> Um if you want to write up the forum I'm more than happy to just um send it along to to Chris. >> I'm sorry. Can you repeat that if I'm what? >> Well, if you just want to write up what those four were. I did some
>> and then just send it to me. I'll just send it to Chris because he's asking what should be in those, right? He's open to what um what we're looking for. I think it's something that's going to evolve. He's going to come with us and it's going to be probably 70% what we want. We'll ask them for something else
and it will get to 85% and they'll work with us on that. I >> mean, I don't think we have to vote because we we are all on board with what you want. Well, >> you know what I mean? We want these numbers. Um, but I also I think the public should also know that Chris is doing an extraordinary job of presenting
the budget to the school committee at every meeting. Um, he's also doing an exemplary job of getting things that we need in a timely fashion and providing quarterly reports. I don't know that he can go back to 2025 or even 2026 and
figure all of that mess out >> and then continue to do the budget for FY27 as well. Like I don't I don't I don't think that one person can do all that. So when I looked at the budgets I was like and people have quit for these things. So
>> there are spreadsheet you know historical spreadsheets. >> Yep. They're not right. You know that we went over them last year and they weren't right. No, there is a depository which is our folder that has the budgets as presented. It >> which one? We had like three or four last year, right?
>> Well, the approved budget. We should be able to reconcile from approved budget to current state. >> Yes. >> To to what the changes are along the way >> for going forward, >> right? And Chris committed that he would he would do that for us and he would try to find a format that that works for us.
I think he finds that in Munis there's there's ways of just doing that for us, right? Um so he knows how to do that now. >> He's he's better using the systems that we have to better track budget and spend that haven't been used before. So when I
asked him questions at the last meeting, the school the school forum, he had very good answers of how he's tracking budget and it seems like he's doing the right things. um until we find that he's not if he's not going to if he's not giving
us the things that we need or he's you know holding back information then we can fall into distrust but I don't think we should go that route. I think between Dr. Fortuna and Chris things are running very very smoothly from my point of view as a finance person and on this
committee as well but definitely I think we should submit the questions. Well, so so the questions like the one sample that I gave you, >> I mean I can only formally all my questions once I see their budget. So but these are like
requirements on how to present the budget you know that that's so it's like pre-budget and once we have the budget I can you know I have I have added more questions and so yeah so if I have the packet from for next week's meetings you
know I can add those and send it over again if anyone has any other questions you can send it to me and I'll compile everything. I said say send send what you whatever we can to him so we can compile as many answers prematurely as as he can and if he has a question or
doesn't understand something or can't produce something I think he's going to tell us >> for sure >> I I so the one worry that I have about multiple sands is if that then becomes a subject of oh they are sending us questions all the time they're asking
for things all the time >> so my I I mean we cannot send questions directly. I was trying to streamline it, make it like we see a budget, we review it, we have questions before they come to presentation, we send them the questions.
>> Yep. >> Versus multiple sends and then we get the qu the oh they're asking for too many things and >> they should not be complaining that we're asking for too many things. >> So they should just give us the answers that we need. >> I I don't disagree
at all. I agree with you. Okay. >> All right. >> All right. Were there any other final questions on preliminary budget or the preliminary preliminary budget? >> Hey, we're ahead of where we were last year, I feel
>> a little bit. >> Yes. >> Okay. Um All right. So, the next thing we had on the agenda was uh discussions on potential FY27 Prop 2 and a half override. Um, you
know, I definitely think the town is going to be putting forward some um override or overrides. Um, and we'll have to figure out what that looks like as we start to go through the the budget process here. But, you know, for excuse
me, for now, I just didn't know if there was any uh discussion deliberation that anyone wanted to have at this point on on their thoughts related to the the two and a half override. This will likely just become a recurring topic for us because
it's something that we're going to have to be able to deliberate on. So, >> so the thoughts that I have about the override is that um just as we talked about the budget, you know, it it's for me it's important
to understand, you know, what are we asking are we are we asking to what is our gap for level service as we see it right now to our funds available
and and and understand beyond that level of service what is what else we want to we are asking I don't like it when you know those two things get mingled to to make it into one we just got to be
very honest with voters about exactly what we're asking and the price tag on everything um I I personally because the school has they're very independent on
how they def they're ask for their budgets hence you know I I collected a lot of data that you guys will have the opportunity to read and again concerns that I have and that I shared with the school committee we can give them that
feedback they can still come back and say no we still want to x y and z um and to wanted to put you know our level service request or a modest increase because we want to
to do something, you know, a little different to a restart budget that that's what's on their agenda for tomorrow. I I worry about putting those two things together and and I wouldn't sign up to have only one budget, one
override number if I don't feel and this is something I have said that you know both you know you know the both the department all the departments have done a really good job on trying to avoid waste. Um,
and so I do think we need to consider on having, you know, separate overrides if we're not comfortable with the decisions that some of the departments have made, including, you know, the fire department fourth shift. That's something that we had
hoped to be able to increase to it. I think you know we went from a alcohol firefighter to establishing like this has been an ongoing process and their request is very limited to what they're requesting should that be
going into restorative services and you know that we haven't seen what it is or should that be separate and I into I'm presented with the information I don't know if I'm if I think it should be one number or if it should be
separate each department stands on their own on their own request. >> Sure. I I think that's fair and I think that's something amongst the three boards that once we do hear the preliminary budget, we hear the school requests, we understand it, that's probably where we get back as a tri
board and have that discussion amongst the three of us. But I will say that, you know, that the time to do that is probably what did we was like three weeks away. We were thinking >> I think we were looking at that second week of March, right? Is that right?
>> Yeah, I think it was like the second week of March is probably where we'll we felt amongst the chairs and the the leaders that there would be enough information to formulate, you know, that that recommendation um amongst the the tribe board.
>> Um and that doesn't leave a lot of time to get it into the warrant and to to tally it up and and get it out out to voters. So the other thing that became apparently obvious um when we were looking through the schedules and the
interdependencies between individual boards doing their job and the tribe board working collaboratively is that there is probably zero chance that we will get our finance committee report in its entirety into the mailed warrant.
So, the way I've been thinking about that is we probably need um a kind of highlevel summary at that point into the warrant with a QR code that says, you know, in about a month after we've had all the public hearings
and recommendations, etc., that we will have a more full finance committee report. um we're just there's just too many unknowns for us to have any reasonable amount of time to to put forward um our report. So that's kind of
a little bit of a what's coming and you maybe we've already hit on what the future meetings are but but >> so confirming and is suggesting a couple of different warrants. One for level service, one for older service like for voting. >> Is that what you're thought talking
about to have several different options for town? And >> I am saying that I I haven't made any personal personally I have not made any decision how the override should go
>> but I see a I I think it's a problem if you know if I'm not comfortable with one one department's budget and you know but I'm I I I think it is a scenario that if I can't get behind one budget you
They I don't see a problem. I honestly do not see a problem. I understand why we have talked about not we the the school committee and the slack board and
on not last year the year be like the year that you and I joined >> but just prior to that they made a decision the two of those boards that they wanted to do explore a override number for the entire towel and it will
come in together. That was done in a joint meeting without, you know, I wasn't in the fincom at the time. >> Were we there? Were you there? >> Yeah. >> Well, you were involved in that meeting. >> No, because it was just the school
committee and the select board. >> I was on the board at the time. That's what you're >> asking. So I I I think that's fine that they talk, but but right now if we get, you know, if I get a school budget that has
like we're s, you know, offering a, you know, like best service ever for this group of kids and and according to the data that I have, you know, we are like on the top
30% % of similar schools of similar enrollment in the region like I I've reached out to 40 different districts anything that I could find a possible similarity and we're offering that service like top 30% but meanwhile we're
performing at the bottom 30% for reading in third grade I'm going to have an issue with that budget. So, so I all I'm saying is I think we need to be flexible into how we are going to,
you know, present a possible override to the voters and be honest about it. >> Yeah, I I think there's several courses of action that can be taken on how to structure the override. Um whether it's an alakat kind of thing or if it's if it's one and only one if it's two. Um,
and over the next few weeks, I think that that's collectively what our three boards need to make a recommendation on with the ultimate understanding that it's kind of the select board's decision in the end um on how they want to approach the override. It's their
warrant, they will do it, but I think they're looking for us and the school to be part of that process for sure. Um so right now I don't think there's anything you know a plan of record per se other than what we've heard is you know level
service budget restorative and additional services like fire and then a balance budget which would be non-level service where that would mean cuts in service. So, >> okay. >> Can I ask the booth to maybe turn off
the microphones? They're not We're not using It's picking up a lot of echo. I think Chris is speaking to three now. >> Yeah, I don't think it has a off button. I know. You have to be hold. So,
>> okay. Um, as it relates to the Prop 2 and a half override discussions, any other thoughts or discussion we want to have at this point? Uh just one final thing is that there is a high likelihood that even if we went with level service
override this year, there may need to be another level service override next year. So we got to keep that in mind as we're thinking through these problems. Um that and it's part of the you know what we need to to consider is
do we just go high on upping the the levy limit and not actually tax to the levy limit in the first year so that we have headroom in future years is another factor that could be put into this equation um for how we structure this
this year's this year's override but everyone should be thinking through kind of the what they're comfortable with that you know we represent present ultimately we represent the town right um and the questions that the town may have the concerns that the town may have
it's not just about our own personal opinions and what we can do so you know as you're talking to folks or as you're thinking about you know different people's situations just have that that in mind as well >> nobody's nobody's presenting like
long-term budgets though right >> they're just presenting 27 budgets Well, so the tribe board process we did get an indication of what people, you know, what they were looking at for three to I think it was three years we we went at right. Um, you know, we have
looked at the five and almost 10year capital plans. So I do think we've made some progress on uh projections that in the past we've really not done as a town. we've kind of just looked at the next year and um so I'm not sure that
we'll get to like modeling of that like maybe we should like what does healthc care look to be for the next three years what you know what kind of scenarios might we be in but um I think we're in a little better situation than we have been in the past >> okay yeah I mean just going back to what
you're saying about like override multiple years you know people are going to get fatigued very quickly with voting for overrides ides. So I mean really should be looking at one to two years out like how we strategize this next
override so then it does structure to the next year like what you're saying. So >> yeah, >> I was just curious if anybody's really looked at their budgets and thought, "Wow, this is going to hit two years out
versus just this coming year type of thing." >> Yep. Okay. The uh next topic we had was just kind of you know tribard discussions. We've had some tribe boards um in the you know in the past and I'm not sure
we've kind of come back and had any you know deliberation on what was said there but it's here in case anyone had you know comments, questions, concerns etc for either prior or or future tri board
meetings. All right. Uh, I didn't have any old business. I do think there's um at least one set of minutes we haven't voted on. Let me just check though.
Is this total >> total students? >> Total students. >> Yeah. And the other one is total high school students. >> This is high school students. >> Yeah. >> Total school like in the whole >> in the whole Yeah. >> organization
>> in the school district. >> Because >> so we we do have the January 8th minutes. Did everyone look at those or did anyone look at those? >> I looked at those. Did you guys look at the January 8th minutes? >> I have not.
>> Pardon? >> I I have not looked at >> I have. >> You have? All right. I would entertain a motion to approve the January 8th minutes. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Second. >> Thanks, Chris. >> All right. Um because uh Jean is on
call. Um, absolutely. >> I'll take a roll call vote. Um, Jean >> I >> All right. Mike >> I. >> Anna >> I. >> Tanya >> I >> J I >> All right. And an I for myself. So we've approved the January.
>> This is the regional school district that's from 7th to 12th grades. >> So I was trying to catch both >> in similar enrollment students. But even that one being a regional you know they have different
services that we do. So I was trying to include more data than the last than the last. >> Okay. Any actions or topics for future meetings? I mean we've got a pretty busy schedule. Uh we have a lot of discussions that will need to occur
related to those topics. But um if there is anything that folks want um just let me know. All right. Uh next finance committee meeting is next week the 19th followed by the 26th. We're kind of on that once
a week tempo. Um the next tri board is likely to be probably the second week in March is what we're aiming for. Um, and with that, is there any public comment from the public?
I don't know if there is a public any public comment from the committee. >> The last item that I want to bring it to as a public comment of mine. I watched the
uh capital planning committee last night and I actually went to it and and I had some comments about a project that they're working on which is the turf field um replacement. And one thing that I started my comment
with was I don't understand why they are talking about this project because I don't think this was a ranked project from the school department. This was something that Peter Mr. Peter Beardmore went to the school committee and asked
to to work on it. And what I understood is Mr. Beardmore would be, you know, doing some heavy lifting for the school, which I think is great. You know, we need volunteers, but we have a ranking. The capital
planning committee job according to our bylaw is to rank projects. This is not a rank project. this was not part of their request. So, I'm I'm I'm afraid that they're going through this process and and I I I really don't understand. I
think Mr. Beardmore can do this work and report back to the school committee and the school committee will rank and make their priorities and everything else, but it seems like there's this outside project, you know, process happening that's not prescribed anywhere within
our bylaws and how we do budgets. And my concern in the long term is that if this at some point is presented as the capital planning vetted this project which it's not how it works. The capital planning vets projects and ranked them.
This is outside that if they want to put that you know I I don't I and I don't know why capital planning committee is working on this because it wasn't a rank wasn't a priority for the school committee. So they they you know if Mr. Beard more worked with the school
committee I think that's great. We need volunteers but we got to be aware that you know we can't accept I I wouldn't accept that the capital planning committee vetted this project because the capital planning committee is not to
be vetting a a single project. they are supposed to vet and rank pro projects and if the school committee wants to bring this forward is for them to do it uh and I want to see those discussions happening at the school committee meetings and not the capital planning
committee it's just mind-blowing but anyway so as a public comment from me that's my take on the subject >> okay any other public comment All right. And with that, I would
entertain a motion to adjurnn. >> Motion to adjurnn. >> Second. >> All right. Uh, roll call vote. Uh, Jean >> I. >> Mike. >> Hi. >> Anna. >> Hi. >> Tanya. >> Hi. >> Jay. Hi.
>> And an I for myself. We're returned.
