This is a lake management committee meeting at 700 p.m. and we're starting a meeting. Uh meeting is being recorded and anyone else recording the meeting has to notify me so we can give approval. >> Cliff is
>> and Cliff, are you on? >> Yes. >> Yes, I am. >> Okay. Are you recording? >> Yes. Thank you for allowing me to. >> Yeah. Gotcha. Okay. And Michelle, you're on. Do I have
any other guests? >> No. >> Okay, ready to go. I'll take attendance. Um, Norm Chver >> here. >> Uh, Mike Kums >> here. >> Malcolm Debet >> here. >> Mike Debb here.
>> Dick Ranolds here. >> Scotty Graves, I think he's No, he's not going to join us. No. Eric Mueller here. Paul Murphy here. Paul here. Okay, we got everybody. We have a quorum. So let's move on. The
uh first thing is the minutes from the past meeting which are pages three and four in your handout. I have one change to make on what I had submitted on page three. >> Okay.
>> 3A the end of the sentence we got to have was approved. Um, zone to life was approved. Okay. Was approved. >> Right. >> I have a comment on number 11. I thought
we had concluded at the end of our discussion on 157 ft in Hills Road because that was a definite issue. It was a code issue but not a lake management issue per se. It's not it's not a lake management issue per se, but it's the reason we
did what we did there was it can easily become a very severe one because NR remember NRCS is working clearing >> true >> great Brook >> and that's why it's a code issue because it affects people downstream of that or down there it's not going to affect the lake
>> no it won't affect the lake affect those areas [clears throat] >> I think I think The concern was the effect on on the NRCS project. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> Okay. >> Because they're clearing it.
>> Well, hopefully >> we're a little way. >> So, do we need to changing that or are you are you all >> Well, I don't I thought it was the reason I made the issue at the the time we were talking about it was the fact that I didn't want to see that bog us down because it doesn't affect us other
than if we have a a blood it's going to affect down there because vertical height it's not going to affect lake's going to drain long it's an NRCS thing but NRCS >> I think the followup's done >> right
>> yes we were sending a letter just to push the issue with them right >> and let them I just don't want to see you keep coming back. >> No, no, we're done with it. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Anything else? >> Nope. >> All right. Take a motion. >> I'll give you a motion to accept them
with the adjustment from my I'll second. Eric and all in favor. >> I opposed abstain. Unanimous. I have to poll. >> Okay. Norm Chver. >> I >> Mike Kums. >> I >> Malcolm Debay. >> Hi.
>> Mike Debay. >> Hi. Dick Granles. I Eric Mueller. >> Hi. >> Paul Murphy. >> Hi. >> Paul Yokum. >> Hi. >> Okay. Affirmed. >> All right. Public comment. Anything? Anybody's silence? >> Nobody else.
>> Okay. We will move on to concom update. Norm. Well, we only have one item from our last meeting. We approved the application for the annual removal of docks, a waiver variance for that for 5258 Lake Street. That's one we do
annually. >> And and yeah, I signed that. So that'll come up later on because it is an annual one, you know. No, not up for any uh HGs. Anything else?
>> That's it for conservation. There's nothing no recent Southfield conservation made next one next Tuesday. I'll be at the town meeting and so do you have any idea when the LPP mailings
will go out? >> Ellen might know >> or um >> LP stickers for the year. >> Yeah, the the applications. >> Yeah, they're going out by the beginning of February. >> Beginning of February. >> A couple more weeks. Not bad. Two or three weeks. Good.
Okay. >> And then you'll have a whole pile that you have to process. >> We already got >> How do you get an application? >> It was um for them. >> Okay. But without an application, >> he took the old one and wrote a six over
the five. >> Oh my god. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> We're trying to get people to comply. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's one way. >> Okay. Um, and you don't have any. The only other
thing that um that I included in here, I had sent it out was the uh the vote in time about 159. >> Yeah, that was it. >> Yeah, I had a I had a question about
that. um Reddit. Uh did you guys wind up consulting the the town's attorney to make that determination or >> No. >> So So the the the thing that seems
that I'm confused about with it. There's two things that confuse me. One of course is that if it over tops then it's going to become a lake issue you know so it'll be it'll be in concom um I [clears throat] I'll let you finish
because I'm asking you so um so so I had a couple of questions one is you know if if if it over tops again which has happened before then that would wind up being a concom issue because that that water would and go
into the lake, which we had happen before. So, you know, so there's that factor. And then the other one that was confusing me a little bit is, and I don't know the law that well, but I thought that the way that the that the federal statutes were written,
>> if you have a >> a pond, then the wetlands protection act applies to that pond. And if you're going to build a pond, then there are federal regulations associated with that that you have to
apply for. So if somebody's building a pond, aren't they creating an area that the wetlands protection legislation affects? Therefore, it is in Concom's bail
>> because he's build he's building a thing that the once it's done being built, it is it is subject to the wetlands protection regulations. I don't have that answer. >> What I'm wondering what I'm wondering is
would it make sense to ping the town attorney? >> Well, I one of the things I spoke with uh Mark uh yeah at at D Stinson. Uh and his what he
said to me, this was yesterday, that if you whether it's an intermittent stream, a perennial stream, any any stream, if you alter it or you impound
it, it's subject to having to issue a notice of intent that has to go through conservation with the notice of intent, which would necessitate a design that uh gets reviewed by any you know any of the
uh you know at least the concom I don't know who else would be reviewing that design but he said that that does uh as soon as you move the stream or alter it or add um any retention in an even if
it's intermittent and he was very clear about that and asked for photos of what they're doing. And so, uh, we're trying to get a few photos. Maybe with this rain coming, we'll be able to see cuz everything's under snow right now. Uh,
because they actually did work in the stream and they moved the stream. So, that's another thing that's uh requires an NOI per per Mark Sinson. He's the circuit writer for the district.
Well, all I can tell you is other D officials said it's nonjurisdictional >> other D mean D. >> Oh, state >> other state D. So in other words, okay. So
>> we conservation was on site. >> Yeah. some several years ago. D told conservation that it's nonjurical area for conservation. >> That was from several years ago. >> Yes.
>> Okay. >> All right. Well, Dennis Clark were both at that meeting. >> Okay. >> On site. >> Yeah. it. You can see why I'm confused because it's like I don't understand if if you're if you're building a thing that
when you're done building it, it is jurisdictional because it's it's subject to the Wetlands Protection Act. How can the building of it not be subject to the Wetlands Protection Act? >> I don't believe that question was asked. >> Okay. >> They were told that intermittent stream
was non-jurisdictional, >> right? But but it's that's a stream, but now he's building a pond. >> I don't believe that question was asked. >> Yeah, that may be the problem. >> So, how I'm wondering how we could get that, you know, is that a question that
Com could ask? How how do we how do we get that question asked? >> Well, Mark asked for photos of what's being done now. So, we're going to try and get some some photos. Um. >> Mhm. >> Maybe if we get enough rain it'll we'll
be able to see it again. Right now it's under snow. [clears throat] >> Verified that they moved the stream. >> Yeah. Yeah. Cuz what I did in the last meeting, if you look through the the the uh Mark Mark Stenson also gave me
massmapper link and because he had sent me a bunch of photos from that and he says, "Yeah, take a look. You know, here's here's what it looked like. it was totally forested and then uh you see the all the forestation disappearing and that also triggers the storm water
>> right >> which is if you disturb more than an acre well it's obviously it was about three acres and that's in actuality it's more like five acres because what's been cleared is about five acres there isn't anything left >> so what what I'm kind of confused about
is you know this has been brought up this is going years. >> Yes. >> And there have been rulings that they have to do X, Y, and Z. They don't do the things that they're supposed to do. Nothing happens. And now
[clears throat] I it it almost feels like a hot potato that nobody wants to touch, >> which I kind of don't understand why that is. >> It's just very puzzling to me that we we have a problem that we see
We have, you know, there's concerns for the lake with regard to the to the runoff coming into the lake. And that's not just theoretical because it's happened before. >> And there's the bizarre situation of we've got somebody building an unpermitted pond and it seems like no
one at the town feels like they have any jurisdictional authority to say a word about it, which I don't I can't comprehend how that could be. >> Remember, he built an unpermitted dam. >> Yes. >> Right. that sometimes there's water behind it. >> Yeah. >> Doesn't necessarily say it's creating a
pond. Sometimes there's eight foot of water there. >> Right. >> And I believe that the federal statute is if there are seven days in a calendar year, >> then that is then considered a wetland. >> So if there are seven days in a calendar
year in which that is retaining water, which there are, >> then that's a wetland. I'll check it out. Okay, thanks. >> Okay. >> Um,
>> Empic update. No, no activity that impacts land. >> Okay. Sonov um Michelle Michelle CRC update. >> Anybody else? >> CRC update.
Okay. Uh very happy say that we have some um movement forward on preliminary talks about uh CRC working with the town uh or working for the town, I should probably phrase it that way, uh to um
possibly get a volunteer build and dedicate some funds for a boat house for the police boat. >> Oh wow. Yeah. >> So, the board had already voted to pursue um basically looking into the
project uh because we don't know exactly what's required and >> we heard there were some drawings out there that had been created of what uh it could potentially look like. So, uh I did get a hold of those drawings. Those were given to me. Member of the of the
police department put that together. Um, and I've spoken with Nicole and I am going to be approaching uh local tradesmen and craftsmen in the area to see if we can get a crew together to um have people maybe donate
some time. CRC definitely has some funds for materials and supplies, but we're hoping that we could, you know, get some folks to some carpenters and some electricians to dedicate some time to the project to pull that together. Um, I did approach Westfield, uh, Voke High
School in hopes that they maybe would be able to take on that type of a project for their carpentry division, but they're already obviously booked out for this year. Um, and I'm not sure it's really, uh, something that they're they're looking to tackle, but uh, but we're we're starting out in the process,
so I'm pretty excited about that for this year coming up. It also needs uh concrete work because there's a a foundation. Uh and I've gotten the pads that we would need instead of pouring
like like was done for the north ramp and south ramp >> where you have to put uh sheet steel sheeting around or some kind of a dam there. There's other port of dams and whatnot, but these could be laid on the
current sandy bottom just to make a ramp and and uh offset fishing and boating access. We have three of them from them already and they said they would donate any any more that we need. They're 12 feet long, 6 in thick, and 16 in wide
and they would donate them. So that that saves a uh not having to do that operation and and that's requires a whole other kind of permitting once you once you go in and and uh sheet the area
or put up a porta dam and pump it down. That's a whole bunch of other permits required. So this may simplify the permitting and we'll have to see once, you know, this thing kind of starts to gel. But it does need concrete work for
the foundation for it, >> right? Good point, Dick. And that would be fabulous. And we definitely would be looking, you know, to you all for help with coordinating on what we need from the state in terms of permits and permissions. It's definitely a really um intense process, I think, to actually
make this happen. And what I'm being told is probably easiest if CRC can pull it together, uh, you know, on our own and then gift it to the town. really seems like what would make the most sense. So, we are in the preliminary phases. We're definitely finding right
now in terms of costs and volunteers and you know even if the design that we currently have is adequate for the project or if there's any redesign that's needed um you know so there's a lot to do but uh but we're in the initial phases and and that's pretty exciting. >> That's awesome.
>> Yeah. Okay. Uh, anything else, Michelle? >> That's pretty much all I have right now. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Quiet season right now. >> Yeah. Right. Right.
>> Okay. The next thing is the chapter 91 U LP update which are the forms which I've included in here. These have been on on there before. The only thing that's new is the letters. they got uh adjusted to,
you know, the Connecticut mass letters. So that's, you know, we've been chewing on these for a while. So this just gives you what would go out to the uh the property owners in Connecticut and Mass.
>> Okay. >> We talked last time at the last meeting, we said the boat lift shouldn't have the 3-in letters on it, right? This get taken off of here, but it's still on here. >> They said they were going to take it off. >> Okay. So, these are the old showing up at the meeting.
>> All right. So, you have one that's later that I didn't see. >> Yeah. I should have checked. >> The only difference was the little print down here where >> you be able to get everybody on. I have them on the road. >> Yeah. >> Place to put it. >> Yeah. They were all corrected and print.
Uh, no, they haven't been printed. You know, they haven't been printed yet. They would I think they would. >> But if you can send me one, >> yeah, >> please of each one tonight. >> And I see one of the things that did get added we talked about is the the line, you know, if you submitted a doc layout sheet in 2025 and there are new changes,
you do not need to submit a new one in 26. >> And that's good. Yeah. >> So, they missed this one then. That's what they did. >> Okay. No big deal. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Next. Um the then the the next thing is
on uh let's see Wednesday the Why does that say January 7th? >> Yeah, it should. >> That's 14. >> Yep. >> January 14th. >> And and it's included actually have a
copy of the of the uh invitation to it in this file. Uh but on Wednesday the 14th, so next week, >> next Wednesday >> at six o'clock, >> and there'll be a a hearing here and
that's the announcement, the official announcement is on page a second. >> Public notice on page 23. >> That's December 12th, right? Yeah. >> Yeah. December 12th.
>> December 12th. >> Well, December does it says January was >> January 14th. >> Yeah. January January 14th. >> January 14th. >> Yeah. >> And you can submit questions and whatnot up to February 14th. So, you got a month to do that. I think
>> January 14th, which is a Wednesday, at six o'clock, we'll be physically here. >> Um, and are there >> just so I get a a count because I made it. So, it's a an official LMC meeting, so we don't have to worry about a
quorum. So, anybody that wants to show up, >> I'll physically be here. I think you're going to be here. >> Yeah. >> Um >> I plan on being here. >> Good. Good. >> And um how So, this is the timing of the meeting, but um we're also going to have
an opportunity to gather with them a little bit before. >> Yeah, that's what time should we should we look to? I have to find out because I thought they had said 2:00 and >> that's what I thought >> and that's what Mike said. >> And then and then sorry it's just a logistical question.
>> They're arriving at two. Um then what do we do? >> I'm gonna I'll go out to get something to eat. >> Yeah. I'll find out from them and then I'll now that I know I'll just send it out to everybody. Yeah. >> I'll broadcast it. >> So anybody that wants to attend, you're welcome to come here. >> And I think it might be advisable if we
do that to actually come up with a schedule. Yeah, you know what I mean? You know, okay, they're arriving at two. Just, you know, an agenda. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, so then
anything new on the Beaver Dams update? One thing we did find was um Norm Noble, who was here for that other meeting, uh said that he's he has actually had on
his property on Grand Street in >> Suffield, West Suffield, >> uh which is by Spear Lumber, the old Spear Lumber, >> and it's across the street. And he's got a pond back there. And he's had and has had beavers removed
>> from that pond by a licensed Connecticut trapper, right? >> Recently. Oh, recently. Recent. >> Wow. That's interesting because he had to go get that permit. >> Yeah. >> The special permit that you can't get. >> So, the guy just did. >> Yeah. I I bet you that's what he was going to get us the the name and and
contact him. >> Good. Get it. Get it. >> Well, he was going to contact him and see if he was interested. >> Yeah. Right. >> Because everybody turned it down. Haven't heard from him since. >> Yeah, >> exactly. >> You know, you know, I know I know his
pond, you know, it's nice, accessible. It's >> Yeah. >> Very nice place to work. >> Very small, >> right? Where what we have for somebody's like, >> it's kind of a hassle. There's a there's a dam in Mountain Brook right now. >> There's a dam in there. They're building it, but there's nothing you can do
unless you want to go in the water in the freezing cold. >> I think what we do is we just wait till March. the two big dams and then we go inside Mountain >> at John can take out the big ones. >> Yeah. >> And then we'll get the one out of the Norman and I actually did that the one
in Mountain Brook a few years ago. I don't know if you Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah, you do. And and that one's kind of nasty and it's really cold in there and when you rip that one down, it comes right at you. >> Ah, >> because that's the only outlet for the lake. >> Okay. Okay. >> So, they're building that up every day, but I don't know how how high the water
is. Is the water that bad? I don't think it is. Right. >> I don't think so. >> So, I think we just wait till March. That's what we got to do. And we'll do it all at once. >> Unless the storm that's coming is is >> We'll see what happens. But John can go in there. He's not going to go in there now. There's too much snow and ice. Yeah. >> So, he's not going to be able to rip the big dams out. So, we'll be good.
>> All right. Um >> and then let's see the next thing that was beavers the DCR hydrillaa hydrillaa uh project and what I've done is I have submitted the all the uh invoices
everything we've paid it's page 13 and and 14 >> and so all the invoices have been submitted and we will I actually gave you a copy you have this. I had to add it add to her. It's that one sheet.
>> Oh, okay. There you go. >> And so that's a big package. So I I scanned everything and and uh sent it to Tara. So she's taking care of reimbursing the town. And you can see on the email how many documents got emailed. Mhm.
>> So um and then the next thing is the uh pages 15 through 30 which is this NRCS meeting. And so we have December pro progress meeting which is 15
uh through >> 22 through 20 rather sorry 15 through 20 and that's the minutes from that meeting. You can read those. >> And looking forward to the one we're going to have.
>> Yeah. Well, we have one tomorrow first. >> And who all is planning on being at the one tomorrow? >> The 11:00 >> 11 o'clock. Yeah. Being there. >> All right. So, we have >> Eric, Mike, you Mike. Norm.
>> Yeah. I'll try to be >> Norm. Okay. So, we have >> I don't know if Sabrina will make it or not. Um, that's a question, but certainly welcome to attend. And I I
believe that uh Nicole is going to be here for it. I sent her the all the information. She can do it remotely too if she wants. Uh and then you 21 starts the the public information
session. You can read all that information that is another one should be very interesting because that presents what we've heard part of and we'll hear more of tomorrow. U for those of you who were at the last one, they
gave uh kind of a capsule review of what they're going to cover, right? and they had a lot of blanks that they were still going to fill in and that's what they've been busy doing is adding more adding more meat to the bones. question. U I think you passed this
around. Um you know was interesting to see that calculation or the results of that calculation with regard to the economic impact of the rail trails >> and the methodology that was used for that could probably be basically you
know taken and used. Well, okay. I'm glad you mentioned that because I did speak with Jeff McCulla who's >> um he had sent me that. >> Y >> and so he and I had a long chat today and so he's going there's two things are going to happen. He's sending me a
contact. there's a new position in the state for economic um development >> and promoting the activities in Massachusetts
and he says so Jeff has has knows him now has been dealing with him regularly and he said I should give him a call and he's sending me the contact information. Jeff is also going to find out if PBPC and we're members. Town of South Lake is
a member of PBPC. So, they do work for us um like under contract. Yeah. >> And that would be a perfect fit for them because they have people that specialize in that kind of >> Yeah. And I mean, you know, the the the group that NRCS has contracted, you
know, they've got somebody engaged on that. >> Yes. >> And we've had some discussion. So, I think it would might be good for us to point them as at that and say, "Hey, look, you know, here's a here's a thing that was done for this area for the impact economic impact of the rail trail. It seems like you can probably
lift a lot of that approach here." >> Yeah. All right. So, I'll send that rail trail >> Yeah. >> information to them. >> Yeah. I think that would be >> all right. >> I don't know. I don't know if anybody else got a chance to look at it, but you know, it's interesting. you know, they produce, you know, they produce certain
results for, you know, the estimated estimated spend per person per day that they access this and they've got, you know, a bunch of calculations behind that and, you know, so that so that they're creating a a number for the economic impact of the rail trail.
>> So, what are they talking like gas stations? >> Yeah, they everything. Coffee, >> everything you can think of, >> everything, right? >> Oh, that's interesting. And so they so they have you know they have that in and so that you know for better or for worse they have a model which is accepted as
an approach and you know we're we need some sort of an economic impact calculation as part of the NRCS activity and you know it might be good if they latch on to something that was already done. The other thing that that I have been putting together and and uh we have
some help from one of our one of our tax workoff people. Uh but the total tax valuation for Southway is roughly 120k 120 million um and for Southfield
waterfront is 76 million which and that ratio is not bad when you think about it. 60% shoreline is is Mass and 40% is Connecticut. Reasonably close, but uh and the tax impact it's for Southwork is
1h 724 725 million. So one uh basically one and three/4 million and for Sfield is 1.241 million. So we've got a total of $3
million in tax revenue. That's just from the waterfront people uh homeowners who were talking about >> Yeah, the waterfront homeowners know that. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, they do. It just went up. >> Yeah. So, anyway, just thought I'd share
those numbers with you and those I've got um the details on the one from Connecticut and actually I have the details on the one from Mass. Just trying to assemble it into something that's easy to read. Anyway, it was if one of the things that
concerned me in the whole NRCS thing when they were talking about this is I'm like, how the heck do they calculate that economic impact? >> I It's not that I now know how they do it, but I can see somebody did something similar. Very similar. >> You know, right here, it's like, okay,
let's latch on, you know, latch on to that methodology. And yes, some of the some of the factors will be different, but there's a methodology at least. >> Yeah. Jeff and I were probably on the phone with the river >> better than a half an hour >> um going over the whole thing. >> Yeah.
>> And I've worked with him for more than a couple of decades. So um and then the the cove dredging is we're still waiting to see if they get that earmarked through. >> Y >> that's a part of that is getting them
the same information economic benefits. That's >> important information. So NRCS needs that. Um, we need it for the dredging and we also need it for the mass TRC project. So they're all looking for the
same info, >> right? And and ultimately, you know, as we circle back, you know, the these other folks who we've engaged with where we're talking about doing the nine the ninestep approach, you know, one of the the things I think we're probably going
to come out of that is is the cove dredging. You know, the broad the idea of having the state engage in the cove dredging in general, >> right? >> And again, that economic impact thing is a thing we can use to help drive that. Yeah, that's an important y
>> piece of that information. >> Um 159 Bergkshire is pages 31 through 35. We kind of you covered that already. >> I think we already talked about that. >> You're good. >> Uh 157 Being Hills Road. Um the again
that's that's we talked about that. We talked about that. U and the algae bloom notification. Anything new on got a meeting tomorrow. Okay. With u >> just at the moment we're I think
>> we're going to kick it around a little bit more and then I'm actually looking for guidance from him on okay you know I think the next step is a is a meeting with with a bunch of the key players um you know which people basically you know
I've created this draft process. This draft process creates things that certain people have to do. So probably those certain people I would be at the meeting have to fly in >> right instead of like >> by the way >> incidentally I have a new thing you should [clears throat] be doing
[laughter] >> and it's over right. Yeah exactly. So >> okay so the next thing is the annual report which is on pages 45 and 46. That's the draft
and hopefully you had a chance to read it and because we want to turn it in. uh if there's any any changes we want to make you you think there's
kind you know I got a lot of what was in previous years because it's a lot [clears throat] of historical data on how we operate >> and then updated with things that we are doing today projects and and uh and and the like and and where people have
helped uh thanking them you know for various departments and and people and so on. >> Yeah. >> So, if everybody's happy with that, >> I'll take a motion. >> I'll make a motion.
>> And second, somebody >> Norm. All in favor? >> I opposed. Stain unanimous. I got to run down the names. We have Norm Chver. Hi. Uh, Mike Kums.
>> Hi. >> Malcolm Devet. >> Hi. >> Mike Deet. >> Hi. >> Granels. I >> Eric Mueller. >> Paul Murphy. >> Hi. >> Paul Yram. >> Hi. >> Okay. Affirm. >> All right. The knock boxes, which is page the next two pages after that.
>> See it? Y. Now, the purpose of those is I've had calls before where I get a call in the middle of the night >> because the alarm's going off at the I've had it with the contact station at South Ramp. That one fortunately was the
early in the daytime, but the one at at the visitor center was I think three o'clock in the morning and and it was nothing. It was it was we had foot we had stored a couple of the uh old floats
from the [snorts] from the uh floating docks down there and unfortunately they had water in them. It was frozen when we put them up there and then they thawed and it ran water down through the smoke detector. So
So there was there was no no fire, but I had to be there otherwise they'd break the door down. So at any rate, the Knox box gives access to uh fire department. They it's a standard key that they have and and they can get in. There's on all
the town buildings. So these are three buildings that don't have them. And so what I want to do is seek $2,000 and from res from from reserve fund transfer to pay for it because we don't have a line item to to do that.
And so this piece of paper has to be signed. But before we do that, we need to vote on it. Um does anybody else have any questions on you know what are an Oxbox? No, >> I'm fine with it. No. >> All right. I'll take a motion then.
I'll make a motion for Stewart Eric. I'll second all Y. >> All in favor? >> I >> opposed. Stain unanimous. Got a run through. >> Norm Chver. >> Hi. >> Mike Kums.
>> Hi. >> Malcolm Debay. >> Hi. >> Mike Deb. >> Hi. >> Dick Granles. I >> Eric Mueller. >> Hi. >> Paul Murphy. >> Hi. >> Paul Yokum. >> Hi. >> Okay. Affirmed. So, all I need to do is pass this around and and put your John Hancock down on the on the bottom. Do
you need a black pen or need a pen? >> Okay. Okay. Um, so now and I will turn that in once it's all signed just if you need it. Um,
>> yeah, that's all right. Uh, next one is proposed budgets for fiscal 27. And >> nothing exciting. >> There's nothing exciting there. We I had to do a a 5% down
status quo. In other words, keep the same dollars and what do we really want? And you'll see uh Nicole's already reviewed it. That's part of the process. Now, the CEO has to review them before they get presented. and she gave the
