The agenda lists all the topics which may be discussed at the meeting and are those reasonably anticipated by the chair. Votes may be taken as a result of these discussions.
Not all items listed may in fact be discussed and other items not listed may also be brought up for discussion to the extent permitted by the open meeting law. We're going to skip over the pledge of allegiance tonight since we're remote and I don't have a flag on me. And announcements, I will just remind everyone that special town meeting is
tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at the Lunberg Middle School Auditorium. Public comment. >> Oh, can I can I quickly make one announcement? >> Yeah, sure. Um, I just want to let folks know that there will be a forum about school
funding this Thursday night at the um, Grten Dunstable Middle School Performing Arts Center. And it will be um, it's hosted by a number of our um, members of our state legislature, including uh, Representative Scarsdale,
Representative Kush Merrick, and Senator Cronin. And it will also um the House Education Chair, Ken Gordon, will also be there. So, it will be Q&A. Um it's 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. this Thursday.
I did see that they're offering free babysitting. You do have to um register and sign up for that. And if you can't make it, it will be recorded and should be available um on the Graten Channel website at a later date. And as part of
the registration, you can also submit questions ahead of time. So that's this Thursday, November 20th, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. um at the Graten Dunstable uh middle school performing arts center.
And there's a flyer with information and a QR code on the school's uh homepage if you need to look it up. >> All right. Are there any public comments from the board? I also have a public comment. >> Go for it.
>> So, as everyone knows, special town meeting is tomorrow night. So, I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge all the work that people have done to prepare for the meeting. >> No. Can you hear me?
>> I can hear you. >> Who said that? Jen, >> can other members hear Renee? >> I can hear her. Can you hear me, Jen? >> I am going to >> Okay. >> Yeah, I can hear her. >> Okay. >> So, Renee, go ahead. Keep going. I'll text her and let her know it's her.
>> It's a me problem. Um, okay. So, I just want to take this opportunity to acknowledge all the work that people have done to prepare for this meeting. This includes town staff as well as committees who will be presenting um updates or articles. So, I want to say a thank you. as we know this is a
significant effort on top of their daily responsibilities especially with information you know coming out until the last minute as demonstrated by tonight's meeting uh to discuss two articles. So I also want to stress the importance
of board and committee members paying attention to the updated information we are provided regarding these warrant articles leading up to town meetings. Updates and presentations are shared with boards and committees via email with requests to review presentations,
submit feedback, and ask questions. Often, they have a very tight timeline. It's important for people to monitor their town email on a regular basis, and respond to these types of requests in a timely manner. Even replying to just say email
received, read, and no comments is valuable because without that, the person seeking feedback is left wondering whether the email was read or even received. And of course, providing input and asking questions in advance is even more valuable because it allows a person time
to come prepared to meetings and makes a process more efficient. It is also important to be aware of the most up-to-date information when speaking about it at a meeting so that the public who may be watching is not confused by outdated information. The reason I'm bringing this up tonight
is because based on statements, questions, and discussions I've heard and been a part of recently, it is apparent, at least to me, that this level of engagement and response among board and committee members is not happening at the level needed or honestly the ne level we should expect.
If we as appointed or elected officials in town can't be counted on to engage to be engaged in preparing for town meetings, how can we expect residents to be? So, we know that budget season is just around the corner. So, there's still going to be a lot of information shared
and meetings. So, again, please monitor your town email for updates on information, meeting schedules, and so on. And one final comment regarding email. Pay attention to who who is on the email before replying to all to
avoid any open meeting law violations. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you for the public service announcement. Any other public comments from board members and I'm not seeing any public on Zoom. Okay. Moving on. We have old business
discussion on November 18th, special town meeting and warrant articles and potential votes on deferred warrant articles. So, we have two articles that are still deferred that we can discuss and recommend approval on tonight. Uh they are article 2, amending the FY2026
omnibus budget and article 3, payment of prior year bills. So, we are just going to go through line by line and discuss them and hopefully make some recommendations and then we'll have an opportunity to discuss anything town meeting related if any members still
have any outstanding questions that they would like to get answered. Um, I will also note that Katie, our finance director, is here tonight as a resource to answer any questions uh should any members have any questions for her as well. Okay. So, Jen, what I'm going to do is
pretty much just go down the spreadsheet here. Um, and we can go through line by line. So, starting with article 2, FY26 budget adjustments. The first one is in the amount of $160,52
and that is raise and appropriate. And this is for the town accountant to cover um expenses related to the transitions that have been happening in that department. um to the town manager. Do you want to speak to this one at all? >> Jen, you're muted.
>> You're muted. >> Maybe I can. >> Okay. >> Okay, >> there we go. I'm gonna I was sorry. I was trying to sc share my screen >> which is still and I'm going to just share um the PowerPoint that I'm still working on. Um but I think it just helps
illustrate. Okay. All right. And I can't make a change to it right now. So that should read at the top. Uh it was originally last we talked about a $150,000 supplement to the town account budget. Um that new figure is
$160,00052. So this is a breakdown of how that's aortioned out. Um so in the town accountant salary we know under article three we're doing a salary a transfer from the salary reserve that had been planned. um that transfer from
the salary reserve brings that salary up to the 135,000 but the position has been posted at 145,000 and then there was a little bit of um just in the in the changing out of personnel a little bit overage there of
paying people out some vacations. So $12,181 supplement to the town account salary line to bring that salary line up to 145. Um, we had some vacation payouts uh in the clerical line. Um, now here's
where we get to some actual substance. So, in the in the FY26 budget, we had budgeted uh $40,000 for our audit costs. Um, in speaking with our auditor, if we signed a three-year agreement with CBZ,
um the FY25 audit, which we'll pay for out of the FY26 budget, is $60,000. um that will increase every year thereafter but obviously that's a substantial increase over what we had budgeted um I know folks have talked about other auditor firms um CBZ has um
has been a product of a lot of uh consolidations within this uh sector and uh we don't have a lot of options. So the one other main auditing firm that we do have an option is not taking clients right now. Um, so there is the $60,000
um, which we will be needed. So we need $20,000 for that. And then there is the prior FY24 audit balance. It's an FY25 bill, but for the FY24 audit, there's a balance of 3500 there. Um, there's a small difference um, in
our Gazsby valuation, so we added it between actuals and budgeted. And then contracted services. So, here is the bulk of this. Uh, we're projecting right now at $107,000. Um, our current assumptions are that we
will require AP services at 22 hours per week as we get our staff member trained up through the end of December. Um, that's 15,000 $730. We are anticipating that we are going to continue paying um our contracted
payroll and benefits uh individual through the end of January where we seek to fill that position permanently. That's at $40,950. That's just paying that contractor that does not contemplate any potential buyout there. And finance director of
traditional ser transitional services with Eric Kimsharf um is $50,000. So, I'm gonna stop there and see if there's any questions. >> All right. Thank you, Jen. And we're just gonna member Amanda. >> Hold on. I'll share it again.
>> Yep. Bring that back. Amanda, do you have any questions on that? >> Can you hear me? I'm sorry. I'm on my phone. >> No worries. We can hear you. >> Not right at this second. No. >> All right. Thank you, Renee. >> Yeah, Jen. 50,000 for the finance
director transitional services. Does that cover us through end of January as well? >> So that so we have a we had a not to exceed contract of $10,000. This will be to amend the contract to not to exceed
50,000. Um it's really going to depend on what happens with hiring whether we need additional supplemental services here. >> I mean do you have a feel for how long that will cover us is what I'm getting at. Katie, do you have a sense? I'm thinking through at least February.
>> Oh, >> I'm I know that the last bill that we received from Eric was like $5,000 that was consisting of weekly meetings going back to I think it was like August. So, I think as we have more
personnel actually working on it, it'll be eaten up faster. I just I think we have to see a bill like that to really get a feel for how long that will last. Um their rates are I think it's about $175 an hour. So as we have our
consultant Bill Row starting to work on some of the year-end like balance sheet and schedule A it it will eat into those um hours and we will have a better um idea. But I think right now we're just looking at mostly weekly meetings that
we've received a bill on. >> And so um just to put a finer point on that um if it's not clear, we do not know that this $160,000 will be sufficient to provide transitional services through the end of the fiscal
and we may need to make some adjustments um as we approach. >> Okay. Thank you, Renee. Any other questions? >> No. >> Okay. Thanks, Renee. Brian, >> no. No questions. Thank you.
>> All right. Great. Thank you, Jen. Thank you, Katie. >> All right. So, let's go to the next slide. Um, so we're also it's we're also doing the transfers from salary reserve under article 2. So, here they are listed on
this sheet. Um there shouldn't be surprises here. Um we had money was in the uh salary reserve as we were negotiating the collective bargaining agreement with the police union. Um so that transfer is happening here. I had
spoken about uh I had spoken about a transfer um from the salary reserve to bring the finance director salary up to the 135. You see that reflected here. We were hiring for the police chief uh when we were at Mtown meetings. So there was money in the salary reserve potentially
for that contract and we were also changing the IT uh position and had not filled it yet but there was an internal promotion. So that's the actual difference there. Then the final transfer under article 2 is to transfer the $27,500
that was appropriated at May um from an authorization to fund special projects to the assessor's administration. There any questions about these transfers? Yes. >> Okay. >> The special assistant to the assessor.
>> Yes. >> That's in another article later. >> Yes. Article. >> Is this transfer contingent on that article whatever number it is passing? >> So the position is created. Okay. >> Does it need to be? What happens if that doesn't pass?
Then the assessor's administration would have 27,500 additional dollars in funds that I tell them that they could not spend and would transfer at a future town meeting. >> So they'd be tied up until >> potentially they're tied up anyways because that's
we have already advertised if we would recall the 20 for those that might be just viewing this and haven't seen the select meetings. Um let me just give a quick background for those that are viewing. uh we had appropriated $27,500 at the Maytown meeting um to complete a
project for the assessors. We did an RFP and we had no biders. So this is a crack at kind of approaching the problem from a different way to see if we can solve it um internally. So, if a town meeting doesn't um create that position, we're
not going to be able to really spend that 275 anyways because there's no biders. Anybody have follow-up questions to that explanation? Okay. All right. So, and then this is just a map showing the neighborhoods. You actually I'm going to if you all see
all that tan, that's neighborhood three. when she says neighborhood three is overly large. All right. So, how are we paying for this? And I'm going to have Katie hop in here in a moment, but this is the overview that we're um we're giving um
to town meetings. So we have positive changes on the cherry sheet, positive changes on new growth and then we have some negative um negative impact to the levy availability available capacity um based on
adjustments that are being made on the recap uh that Katie is working on. So the total revenue surplus available for appropriation is $195,790.97. Article two, if approved, would raise and appropriate that additional $160,00052
160,52. And then under article 3, there's a small additional raise in appropriation. So if those two are approved, the additional levy capacity would be $35,321.75. I have shared this information with the superintendent
um and I have asked her to share this with the school committee as well. Um that communication happened this afternoon and um I would expect that there will be some commentary around that. Does anybody have questions on this for Katie or myself?
>> No. >> No questions. Okay. And I think I'm going to stop sharing. That was it on article two. All right. Any other discussion on this? I will make a motion that we recommend approval on article two then.
>> Is there a second? >> All right. This will be a roll call vote. Renee >> I. >> Brian >> I. >> Amanda >> I. >> And an I for myself. Motion passes
unanimously. All right. Article three. >> Okay. Hold on. Am I sharing still? >> No. >> Okay. Sorry. Working off the small screen. All right. Let me share again.
All right. All right. So, article three is to pay prior year fiscal um bills. We were tracking a small bill for $266 to Haywood Hospital at last discussion
and then we received that $3,500 bill for the outstanding uh FY24 audit services. But there is a new large prior year bill on here which is $90,000 for the city of Fitchburg.
So, um, where this is a new issue, I'm just going to go over this a little bit. Um, I do not have all the answers and all of the solution at this moment to the water billing issue, but we have part of it. So, and part of it can be resolved thankfully through town
meeting. Um, this is something that was starting to be tracked um, but really rose um, in in the uh, doing the work related for the recap submitt. So, uh, the town of Lunberg has an agreement with the city of Fitchburg for the sale
of water from Fitchburg to Lunberg. That agreement was executed in 1993. Per the agreement, the town of Lunberg must charge the same rate charged to the inhabitants of Fitchburg plus can charge a 30% administrative cost. Um, there are 11 bills that we receive from the city
of Fitchburg that Lunberg then turns and bills out to its customers. Um these are the these are the properties here and the owners. Um largely you'll see commercial property, but those um those first uh accounts at
Tritown um those accounts are significant because of the volume of water there. So um Fitchburg charges Lunenburgg 14% in interest after the 30th day of a late payment due to a variety of staff changes. And when I say variety, I mean
a variety. This goes back a number of years. The town of Lunberg did not timely build the Lunenburgg addresses. Additionally, Fitchburg approved rate adjustments in 24 20 23 that should say 23 24 25 and additional rate increases
are scheduled for 26 and 27. Lunenburgg from what my research has revealed has never had a rate increase. Uh so how to resolve this issue? It's going to take a couple of different steps. Um the first one we do have our
arms around. So the first step is that we need uh town meeting authorization to pay the FY25 payments to Fitchburg. With the interest we have calculated them to be a little bit south of 90 $90,000. So to air on the safe side, we are asking
for n approval for $90,000. We also need to fund this. So how to fund this? um transfer from prior year capital bill or capital articles uh
65,582.78 from article 5 of the annual town meeting and $24,000 under article 6 of the May 7th 2022 annual town meeting and then the small amount of raise and appropriate I'm going to um I have to
look up what I have to remind myself what that 65 5,000 was uh the $24,000 um I believe one is Brooks House and one is um sidewalks around TCP. I just need to look at my other document quickly um but I'll come back to that. And then
going forward a select board to consider a rate adjustment at future select board meetings. Lunenburgg to resume regular billing of customers and further adjustments may be necessary at future town meetings um or through other transfer mechanisms. So, um, the summary
of how we're going to potentially get authorization or or pay these bills after we get authorization, um, is that the smaller ones, the 266, uh, for Haywood Hospital would be paid out of the FY26 budget, uh, for
physicals. The CBiz would be paid out of, um, the FY26 adjusted town accountant as adjusted by article 2 line. Uh, and then the city of Fitchburg would be the raise and appropriate and the transfer.
And I think that's it on that. So now let me just switch over, stop sharing, and just get to that other document. Just give me a second. Okay, working on the small screen. It's a
little difficult. Okay. Um, so the 24,000, yes, was for Brooks House vertex items. number three and four. And then the 65 Um,
hold on. Do I have a typo here? It's from FY21 capital. I'm going to have to I am going to have to get back to the board specifically on that or I'm going to need a minute because I need my big screen.
Um, how would you like me to proceed? Do you want to take a brief recess or do you want me to What do you want to do, Mr. Chairman? >> You're on mute if you're trying to say anything. I just need my big screen to be able to pull this up.
>> Yeah, that's fine. Pull it up. >> Okay, hold on one moment. I'm pretty sure it's included in the Ritter ADA, but I'm just doing a quick math here. Hold on. 12. I am so sorry. I am not going to be able to get that through you right at the
moment. I am going to have to circle back. >> Okay, no worries. >> I did this last week before and I just I don't have it I'm sorry I don't have that handy. Um but it is prior your capital. Do you want to defer until tomorrow on this one?
>> Do members want to defer? We still have this meeting scheduled for 6:30 before town meeting tomorrow. >> Just you know what? Hold on. I might have just found it. It might be one other capital. Hold on. >> That's in that >> furry. >> Yeah.
plus now I'm just it's I think it's eating up everything that's in FY it's all I believe let I believe it's all the remainder let me do it this way I believe it's all the remainder of FY22 capital so Ritter ADA construction
town hall repairs which were originally budgeted um but insufficient funds uh or there I'm sorry they were covered by ARPA but I just need to make sure that the math works that
that's right. I'm sorry this is woefully embarrassing. >> No, it's okay. Do you want to um we can recess if you want to just double check everything and pull it up. >> Yeah. I just want to be sure on this one that if that's all right. Yeah. Okay.
So, what we can do is we can just take a brief recess and then um we can start up in a couple minutes so the town manager has an opportunity to pull everything up. >> I'm going to log off so I can be off Zoom and then I will log back in. All right. Thanks. >> Sounds good. No worries.
>> Perfect. All right, it looks like Jen is back or she's joining. I just admitted her. Jen, are you there? >> I am. >> Okay. >> Can you hear and see me? >> Yep. >> Sorry about that. Okay. So, it is the
remainder of all outstanding FY20 FY22 capital, but I do in looking at that I do need to raise and appropriate a little bit more. So, um I need to raise and appropriate. We're off by $4,170.
So, I need to change this is some lifetime work here, but we're going to need to change the um motion under that uh distributing an additional $4,169.78 to the raise and appropriate side and
taking that same amount from the transfer from article 5. Does that make sense to folks or do you want me to walk through that? >> Okay, why don't we just walk through it so we can make sure we're all following. So
get the best document >> then I'm looking at the the prior year capital plan that you sent on the Yeah. Okay. >> So if so the issue in looking at that prior year capital plan Renee is that in column AG16 >> it doesn't sum up.
>> You got it. So when I took the delta from there it doesn't sum up. So that's where I that's the math that I was doing. >> Um >> so and why we're short. So it is it is taking the remainder of the ADA project.
Um the remainder for Ritter town hall repairs, Ritter roof repairs, those were both supplemented by ARPA and what was left over from the sixheel dump. And now if I share again
>> and the delta is 4200. >> Yeah. A little. Not exactly, but yes. >> Oh, I came up with exactly 4,200. >> Did. >> Yep. So I came up with 65,55278
which is what we need minus 61383 which is um what's available left but we can double check it. So on this sheet where this says that we're going to for
city of Fitchburg we're going to raise an appropriate $41722 and then transfer the $89,582. That transfer will drop accordingly based on what's available and there will
be the additional over here in the RNA. >> Okay. So, it's reapportioning out those. >> Gotcha. I understand that. Any questions from any other members on that? >> Sorry about that. That was more confusing. >> No worries. No worries.
>> Yeah. Um, Jen, the ADA, the Ritter ADA, initially part of that was going to be used for the storm water and project estimator. Is that no longer the case? >> Still is. So, I'm showing 122640 available.
>> Yes. And if we take out the project estimator and the and the and the um >> 929 >> the uh storm water 429, right? Then it leaves us with 29 740.
>> That's where that's where Okay. I hadn't done that. I just summed up the column. So that's where we're off. Yep. Yep. >> Okay. >> Amanda or Brian, any questions? Well, no. No, guys.
>> Okay. I don't think so. >> Um, >> I have more questions in general about the water billing. >> Okay. >> If you can pull up your slides. >> Oh, you want to pull up the slides? >> While she's pulling that, Rene, could I just make one quick comment before you ask the question?
>> Um, I want to appreciate both of you pulling all those numbers and doing all that I know this is last minute and Jan, I know this is an inherited problem, but maybe we should hold off on keep talking, but maybe we should hold off on making a recommendation until tomorrow in case there's more changes that happen, an
adjustment to those numbers just to be sure. >> Yep. >> I feel like we're putting a lot of pressure on you, Jen, to you know, confirm this right this second. >> Yep. >> And I'm meeting scheduled, but I still say I'm not not saying we should stop talking. I just wanted to throw that out there. >> I appreciate that. I would like to check
my math as well. So >> especially when Excel's involved. Um >> yes. So are we looking at your CMA screen again? >> Yeah. >> I think it's the previous slide. One is a minor. Uh sorry 55. Go.
One, two, three, four, five. Oh, yep. No. Stand on slide 55. >> Okay. >> 1 2 3 4 5. >> Is there a property missing? There's two number eight. Okay. Okay. >> And I didn't want to put 88 trio number
eight. >> Okay. Is the billing done quarterly? Is that how it's supposed to be done? >> How it's supposed to be done? I can't answer. How the town had been doing it two executive assistants ago is
quarterly. I mean, based on our agreement with Fitchburg, >> I think that based on our agreement with Fitchburg, we should probably move to monthly billing so that we're not getting that interest. >> Do you want to comment on the on the interest?
>> So the the interest is 14%. >> Yeah, it's high. And so that's why this is so high is because we're carrying quite a lot of interest that we >> and do we know what the rate is now?
What we're charging Lunberg customers and what the rate will be next year? I assume Fitchburg has communicated that >> we know no the select board is going to have to meet at a future okay >> for rate adjustment. >> That's a part so there's multiple
solutions. There's multiple steps in the solution. Step one, >> authorization to pay >> um the 90,000. >> It's just strictly authorization. That requires a 9/10 vote at special time
meeting. Then funding this will also be with that 9/10 vote. So funding the 90,000 that clears us for FY25 going forward developing a budget for this and an appropriate rate increase.
That's work that we'll have to do following special town meeting. >> So does your um the 90,000 is that we're you know more than a quarter into FY26 now. Are we coming? >> It doesn't touch FY26 at all. >> Okay. >> Katie, do you want to hop in on that a
little bit if you don't mind? Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to over complicate things. Um but >> too late. >> Well, this is an enterprise fund, so it's it's it's voted, you know, the budget is voted at annual town meeting
just like the general fund. And $45,000 was budgeted for this. And I I'm not sure we know exactly whether that's enough or not. And so that's probably something to look at at the next annual town meeting as an adjustment to fiscal
26 for this. Um this being an enterprise fund is critical in setting our tax rate. Um every enterprise fund you have to prove the revenues are there. So we have to also prove what we're going to receive because what they do is they
look at last year's revenues received. So fiscal 25 since we weren't billing anything, we really weren't receiving anything. So, this is the other piece that we have to make sure we know what we're going to have for revenues. Um, I don't I don't know if there's anything there's
um yeah, $45,000 is just a number that it seems like it was arbitrarily picked. So, that's definitely something to figure out as well. Um I'm not sure if there's anything else Jen on that but trying to make as simple as possible
>> just that that's why on slide 58 there is that statement that says further adjustments if necessary. >> Yes. Then that's most likely going to be for fiscal 26 because >> correct >> when they started looking to enter fiscal 25 bills they're like there's not
enough money. I'm like well if this is an enterprise fund you have to have enough money. You can't just spend. So, and then finding out it's prior year bills, we have to have authorization as well. So, I guess we should we should just for
the point of having the conversation what happens if town meeting doesn't approve this. I would imagine we will be in either in litigation with the city of Pitchburg. They have some remedies under the agreement. Um it's possible that
because it's an intermunicipal agreement, it's possible that there could be a jury sheet intercept initiated. Um so you know, first and foremost, Fitchburg needs to be made whole and we need to stop the interest. >> Okay. So let's just keep this deferred
for tonight then. >> Um I had one nonwater related question for article 3. There was an invoice we got for t-shirts. for $390. >> Yes, >> that Melissa shared. Is that
>> okay? Now, >> we don't need to include that. >> That's included in there. >> It is. >> Yep. >> I didn't see it. >> I I couldn't hear what you guys I could hear what Katie said, right? >> The invoice Melissa shared uh for the
t-shirts, $390. So that is um >> is that in is that in there? >> Is it in the chart? So let me see. I have it in the motion. >> I didn't see it in the chart, I don't think. >> Nope. I need to add it to uh yes, it is
in the chart. So advanced print technology $390 pay from the FY26 budget. >> Right. >> So that's one >> in the slide. Uh, no, in the handout.
Let's see. In the slide, >> I need to add it to the slide. It's on the handout for article two and three. Thank you. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> But that that total that the number Well, we'll see tomorrow what the final number ends up being, but >> Well, no, no, no. So, the the t-shirts
Yeah. and the audit and the Haywood bill. All three of those we're planning to play pay out of FY26 budgets. >> So, we don't need to raise an appropriate, >> right? >> But that total out of FY26 is going to
change now because of the water. >> Nope. So, the the what changes is the raise and appropriate. So, so there's Let me >> I thought you just said 89,000 is going to We can work this out tomorrow.
>> Okay. But it's okay. I get what you're saying. Yep. You're right. She's right. >> Okay. any other uh questions or discussion on any other articles from members tonight?
>> I just want to add that I'm very thankful that we are having a special town meeting um and that this work on the recap hadn't been concluded um after the special town meeting. These things were developing very quickly as we had a
variety of eyes on the documents and and on our data and if we did not have a special town meeting scheduled, we wouldn't have kind of a remedy to to be able to solve this so quickly. So, it's a blessing and a curse all at
the same time because it's been a lot of things changing over the past couple weeks very fast and trying to get our hands around things very quickly. However, we have an avenue that we can correct them. All right. Going to skip over minutes, warrants,
action items. Also going to skip over committee reports. Upcoming meeting schedule. Obviously, tomorrow special town meeting will be meeting at 6:30 before town meeting. And we will have our tax classification hearing on November 25th. Any public comment from
