WEBVTT 00:00:00.482 --> 00:00:10.813 - Okay, seeing as we have a quorum, I'll call to order this meeting of the Waste Reduction District of 00:00:10.813 --> 00:00:21.247 - Monroe County Board of Directors for Thursday, October 8th, 2026. Mr. McClassen, will you please call 00:00:21.247 --> 00:00:28.510 - the roll? Edmund Smith. Thomas? Yes. Wilkes? Here. Jones? L? Thompson? 00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:41.336 - You have a quorum all four present in the room. Thank you. So for your information, we've included the 00:00:41.336 --> 00:00:52.940 - executive committee meeting minutes in the packet from August 4th and September 1st. Are there any questions 00:00:52.940 --> 00:01:00.286 - or comments about those? There's a typo on packet page three. Minor. 00:01:00.546 --> 00:01:21.347 - It's it says insured instead of ensued. It is under. Find it again. It's under the discussion of resolution 00:01:21.347 --> 00:01:29.822 - 2026-09. Yes. And we get that corrected Mr. 00:01:31.266 --> 00:01:41.711 - Do you see it? On page three of the package you said? Yes. That's under the executive committee minutes? 00:01:41.711 --> 00:01:51.858 - Yes. Those minutes are as approved by the executive committee. We didn't catch it. Sorry. I think the 00:01:51.858 --> 00:01:54.942 - meaning can be guessed though. 00:01:58.242 --> 00:02:08.218 - We'll move on to the minutes of the board of directors meeting from August 13th, 2026. We did not have 00:02:08.218 --> 00:02:18.097 - a meeting in September. So these are the most recent board meeting minutes. Are there any comments or 00:02:18.097 --> 00:02:26.910 - corrections? All right. We get a motion please. Move to approve the board meeting minutes. 00:02:28.482 --> 00:02:38.510 - Okay we have a motion and a second. All those in favor please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right that 00:02:38.510 --> 00:02:48.153 - passes. Next we'll move on to the controller's report and we'll start with the cash flows that were 00:02:48.153 --> 00:02:56.542 - emailed out yesterday Mr. Arnold. Okay on the operating budget is the end of September 00:02:56.834 --> 00:03:12.672 - $5,163,328.66. The debt service fund was $241.76. And the capital fund was $1,057.03. And the landfill 00:03:12.672 --> 00:03:22.206 - post closure report was $838,048.53. Are there any questions? 00:03:24.034 --> 00:03:35.698 - Are there any questions from members of the board about the cash flow statement? Okay, we can move on 00:03:35.698 --> 00:03:47.134 - to the payroll and claims, please. Okay, on page 25 of the packet, there's a summary of the claims. 00:03:47.650 --> 00:04:02.163 - Since our last meeting, claims of $365,866.73 has been approved. And there was no payroll this last 00:04:02.163 --> 00:04:11.742 - week, but we had claims of $76,012.21 for a total amount of $441. 00:04:15.010 --> 00:04:28.192 - All right, that was seconded by Commissioner Madeira. I don't know if we can hear her from where she's 00:04:28.192 --> 00:04:41.374 - sitting, but thank you for putting that motion on the table. Are there any questions about the payroll 00:04:41.374 --> 00:04:44.830 - and claims? I'll note that 00:04:45.122 --> 00:04:54.182 - The claims that were emailed yesterday included $65,400 for 10 new drop-off containers. So that was 00:04:54.182 --> 00:04:56.990 - a big purchase, but necessary. 00:05:09.506 --> 00:05:16.552 - If there are no comments or questions from board members, we'll go to the public. Is there any member 00:05:16.552 --> 00:05:23.459 - of the public who would like to comment on payroll and claims? There's nobody here in the NatU Hill 00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:30.367 - Room. I don't see any hands raised online. So do we need to do a roll call for this, or can we do a 00:05:30.367 --> 00:05:37.481 - voice vote? The voice vote is fine. All in favor of the motion, which is to approve payroll and claims 00:05:37.481 --> 00:05:39.070 - as presented, say aye. 00:05:39.682 --> 00:05:47.834 - Aye. Any opposed? All right, thank you, Mr. Arnold. We'll move right along to resolution 202608 for 00:05:47.834 --> 00:05:56.149 - a public utility easement. Mr. McClassen. Yeah, I'll refer you to the memo on page 107 of the packet. 00:05:56.149 --> 00:06:04.382 - As you can tell by the number, this is a resolution that's been in the works for a little while now. 00:06:04.482 --> 00:06:14.768 - We've been working with the National Guard Recruiting Office as well as Duke Energy as a part of the 00:06:14.768 --> 00:06:25.054 - recently completed renovations to the recruiting center. They did install four EV charging stations. 00:06:25.154 --> 00:06:32.076 - that the National Guard has indicated will be available to the public. I believe two of them are metered 00:06:32.076 --> 00:06:38.866 - and will be available for public use. But unfortunately, due to the location of those, in order to get 00:06:38.866 --> 00:06:45.722 - electric service to those, they need to cross the northeast corner of our property. So that's what this 00:06:45.722 --> 00:06:52.578 - easement grants is Duke Energy the right to run electrical service through that portion of our property 00:06:52.578 --> 00:06:54.622 - to these EV charging stations. 00:06:57.954 --> 00:07:05.858 - All right, can we get a motion on the table, please? Move that we approve resolution 2026-08. Second. 00:07:05.858 --> 00:07:13.606 - All right, we have a motion and a second. Are there any questions or comments from board members? I 00:07:13.606 --> 00:07:21.355 - have a question. Yes, Commissioner Thomas. Mr. McClassen, this is not going to impact at all any of 00:07:21.355 --> 00:07:25.694 - the current operations at the Waste Reduction District. 00:07:26.114 --> 00:07:33.576 - No, as I mentioned, this is the northeast corner of the property and it is, in essence, a corner of 00:07:33.576 --> 00:07:41.113 - what right now is just a grass field between a creek that runs just to the north of our building and 00:07:41.113 --> 00:07:49.470 - our recycling center and the armory. So it's just wanted to verify. Thank you. Any other questions or comments? 00:07:54.242 --> 00:08:04.066 - Let's go to the public. Is there any member of the public who would like to comment on resolution 2026-08 00:08:04.066 --> 00:08:13.704 - granting a utility easement to Duke for the National Guard EV charging stations? Seeing none. All those 00:08:13.704 --> 00:08:23.806 - in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right. I believe that passes. Was that four ayes? Very good. 00:08:25.890 --> 00:08:34.987 - The next resolution is 2026 13 leachate hauling agreement. Yes, and refer to the memo on page 115 of 00:08:34.987 --> 00:08:44.174 - the packet. As indicated in the memo and since 2019 binafano utilities has been hauling leachate from 00:08:44.174 --> 00:08:52.190 - the landfill that's generated in excess of what we have the capability to treat on site. 00:08:52.354 --> 00:09:00.744 - hauling that and disposing of it at the Ellisville wastewater treatment plant. They have asked for a 00:09:00.744 --> 00:09:09.134 - price increase I think is understandable given fuel costs and the current economic environment. I've 00:09:09.134 --> 00:09:17.773 - provided in there some information on the city of Bloomington's Dillman Road wastewater treatment plant 00:09:17.773 --> 00:09:19.102 - and some of the 00:09:20.066 --> 00:09:29.101 - that were proposed to be imposed on us by CBU back in 2019 that ultimately led us to seek alternatives 00:09:29.101 --> 00:09:38.223 - for managing that leachate and I think you can see that based on the current industrial waste rate that 00:09:38.223 --> 00:09:47.258 - they charge which our leachate would be subject to and the hauling rate we were paying to our previous 00:09:47.258 --> 00:09:48.574 - vendor in 2018 00:09:48.706 --> 00:09:57.450 - Uh, even with the price increases proposed, we're still seeing the cost savings over, uh, that amount. 00:09:57.450 --> 00:10:06.788 - All right. Can we get a motion on the table, please regarding this resolution? We have approval of resolution 00:10:06.788 --> 00:10:15.871 - 20, 26, 13. Second that. Thank you. Are there any comments or questions from directors? I have a question. 00:10:15.871 --> 00:10:18.078 - Yes. Commissioner Thomas. 00:10:18.626 --> 00:10:31.930 - It's a little confusing because it appears that the new price to haul is actually $70 for the 4,200 00:10:31.930 --> 00:10:45.767 - gallon. And then the $200 is the fee that they're charging themselves back to themselves for the actual 00:10:45.767 --> 00:10:47.230 - treatment. 00:10:47.394 --> 00:11:05.434 - is that correct? Because it says on page 118, it says that's the price and it says including disposal 00:11:05.434 --> 00:11:16.222 - fee. But then when you go further into the page 120, it says 00:11:17.378 --> 00:11:27.411 - under item four that the cost is $200. And then it says this cost shall be itemized separately. But 00:11:27.411 --> 00:11:38.147 - if it's included in the price of the hauling, I'm not sure I understand why it would be listed separately. 00:11:38.147 --> 00:11:43.966 - So the hauling is actually 70. So I guess the $270 figure 00:11:44.226 --> 00:11:53.958 - is for hauling and disposal of leachate from the landfill. Under Exhibit A on 120, that $200 is the 00:11:53.958 --> 00:12:04.274 - cost for them to bring us what's called a mixed liquor, which is actually a seed load from the Ellisville 00:12:04.274 --> 00:12:07.486 - treatment plant to the landfill. 00:12:07.714 --> 00:12:13.748 - Like right now, the water. The other side going back, right? The water treatment plants not running 00:12:13.748 --> 00:12:19.843 - right now. So when we start that up, we need a seed load. We need a bloat of water that has the bugs 00:12:19.843 --> 00:12:26.059 - in it for the treatment process. That's that mixed liquor. And that's and that's $200 total, including 00:12:26.059 --> 00:12:32.153 - hauling. Correct. OK, all right. That makes sense. All right. Thank you for that. Thank you for that 00:12:32.153 --> 00:12:35.774 - question. That was a good one. I didn't catch that earlier. 00:12:46.338 --> 00:12:55.795 - Any other questions or comments about the agreement or the resolution? Seeing none, we'll go to the 00:12:55.795 --> 00:13:05.915 - public. Is there any member of the public who would like to comment on resolution 2026-13 and the attached 00:13:05.915 --> 00:13:16.318 - agreement? All right, seeing none, I think we can vote. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? 00:13:17.538 --> 00:13:27.313 - All right, that resolution is adopted and we'll enter into that new agreement with Bynum-Fanio. I believe 00:13:27.313 --> 00:13:37.456 - next we have departmental reports cruising right along here. Yeah, I'm going to start with the administration 00:13:37.456 --> 00:13:43.358 - report. The memo on page 121 is a report in detail to summarize 00:13:43.490 --> 00:13:51.083 - the budget was presented at a work session to the county council on september the 16th there were some 00:13:51.083 --> 00:13:58.603 - some questions you know regarding potential property tax changes that may come down the pike and what 00:13:58.603 --> 00:14:06.270 - impact that might have on the district's financing and if there would be if the district has considered 00:14:06.270 --> 00:14:12.094 - requesting any local income tax dollars at this point obviously you know we've 00:14:12.226 --> 00:14:20.433 - We have not discussed that as a board. But and then some questions regarding the cost of living adjustment. 00:14:20.433 --> 00:14:28.107 - I believe that we are. Well, I know our budget passed a three point five percent increase. I believe 00:14:28.107 --> 00:14:35.934 - the county is looking at a two percent increase. So there's some questions about that. But ultimately, 00:14:36.034 --> 00:14:44.844 - the budget was as presented was moved forward on a six to one vote from the county council. We did have 00:14:44.844 --> 00:14:53.485 - the public hearing on that on just this past Tuesday the sixth and there was no public comment at the 00:14:53.485 --> 00:15:01.278 - public hearing on the budget and the council does not vote at that public hearing so it was 00:15:01.442 --> 00:15:12.607 - it will it awaits adoption on I believe the 20th that sound right but at this point given we're how 00:15:12.607 --> 00:15:23.102 - things have gone I don't anticipate that there'll be any issues with the budget being adopted 00:15:23.298 --> 00:15:29.856 - I will let Mr. Paulson report on the waste tire amnesty day. The Association of Solid Waste, Indiana 00:15:29.856 --> 00:15:36.414 - Solid Waste Management District is having its annual conference next week. We have a number of staff 00:15:36.414 --> 00:15:43.167 - and CEC members that are planning to attend one or both days of the conference. And then also that last 00:15:43.167 --> 00:15:49.790 - bullet point under the general updates, kind of want to expand on that a little bit. As I did attend, 00:15:49.922 --> 00:15:59.295 - a conference put on by Circular Indiana on Monday, and the entire morning was devoted to battery, was 00:15:59.295 --> 00:16:09.218 - termed EPR, Extended Producer Responsibility, and Representative Miller was in attendance. He has indicated 00:16:09.218 --> 00:16:19.326 - that he does plan to submit another battery recycling EPR bill as he did last session, this upcoming session, 00:16:19.490 --> 00:16:29.477 - and is agreeable and in fact kind of requesting working with a number of you know interested parties 00:16:29.477 --> 00:16:39.860 - including the Association of Solid Waste Districts, Circular Indiana, Professional Battery Manufacturers 00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:46.782 - Association, Waste Haulers Association. On that bill you know there's 00:16:46.978 --> 00:16:54.757 - we've seen a lot of these fires. Aside from the you know the environmental importance of battery recycling, 00:16:54.757 --> 00:17:02.032 - there's a public safety component to this. I think we're of all seen the news reports of some of the 00:17:02.032 --> 00:17:09.379 - fires that have occurred either in facilities or on vehicles traveling on interstates that are loaded 00:17:09.379 --> 00:17:16.798 - with predominantly lithium lithium ion batteries and. They do pose a significant hazard if they're not 00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:25.306 - The bill last year had near unanimous support, really was kind of derailed due to a procedural issue 00:17:25.306 --> 00:17:34.180 - because it was a short session and because it involved funding that the state would have to make available 00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:39.902 - to either the battery service organizations or the collection sites. 00:17:40.066 --> 00:17:47.997 - It needed to go to the Ways and Means Committee, and by the time it got out of the Environmental Affairs 00:17:47.997 --> 00:17:55.550 - Committee, there was not time for that to happen. So we do anticipate another bill coming this next 00:17:55.550 --> 00:18:03.179 - session and are hopeful, confident in its ability to move forward and get passed in some way, shape, 00:18:03.179 --> 00:18:06.654 - or form. Thank you very much for that update. 00:18:07.970 --> 00:18:21.077 - Are there any questions for Mr. McGlassen about the administration report? All right. We can then move 00:18:21.077 --> 00:18:33.802 - on to the recycling reuse and hazmat report from Mr. Long. Is he online? Make sure to enable him to 00:18:33.802 --> 00:18:35.838 - show his video. 00:18:36.258 --> 00:18:45.830 - It will need Joey Long and Lee Paulson to be able to participate electronically. There is. All right, 00:18:45.830 --> 00:18:55.309 - hi everyone. I will start off with the recycling and reuse report. We've completed completed another 00:18:55.309 --> 00:19:02.910 - clothing shipment to Martin County 3850 pounds of clothing, 412 pounds of shoes. 00:19:03.554 --> 00:19:11.789 - 382 pounds of purses for a grand total of 4,644 pounds. And all that clothing and stuff will be used 00:19:11.789 --> 00:19:20.106 - in Martin County for their area. What is not taken there will then be shipped out to be recycled. Our 00:19:20.106 --> 00:19:27.934 - green business network, been working great with our waste reduction specialist, McKenna Conway. 00:19:28.610 --> 00:19:35.980 - We've had seen an increase in recycling. Some of our businesses are asking for extra pickups throughout 00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:43.704 - the week for the remaining of the year. So that's a plus. She's been doing a good job meeting with everybody 00:19:43.704 --> 00:19:50.790 - and increasing our numbers. Our household hazardous waste, our sharps program has really taken off. 00:19:50.790 --> 00:19:57.310 - We're seeing a lot of people coming in asking for sharps containers for their used needles. 00:19:58.306 --> 00:20:06.294 - And we are getting a lot back, so we're constantly working with people every day on that. So we're very 00:20:06.294 --> 00:20:14.205 - happy to report that the sharps program is increasing a lot. The rural sites, we have received all the 00:20:14.205 --> 00:20:22.654 - new boxes that we paid for. So anybody out of the site should start seeing nice pretty blue boxes showing up. 00:20:23.842 --> 00:20:30.028 - have good reports on the ones that's already there. You know, people have commented how nice they look 00:20:30.028 --> 00:20:36.093 - and it's nice seeing the stuff. And with winter coming, we do have some fall parking lot gravel work 00:20:36.093 --> 00:20:42.279 - planned at the sites. I've been talking to the vendor. We plan on getting the parking lots in the best 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:48.284 - shape that we can before all the ice and snow is hit. That's all I have. If you have any questions, 00:20:48.284 --> 00:20:50.206 - I'll do my best to answer them. 00:20:52.674 --> 00:21:01.183 - Thank you, Mr. Long. Are there any questions for Mr. Long on the recycling, rural centers, Hazmat? A 00:21:01.183 --> 00:21:09.691 - quick question. When you talk about improving the lots, the drive-through lots at the rural sites in 00:21:09.691 --> 00:21:18.368 - advance of winter, is that just gravel? Yeah, it's gravel. Because the ground is soft, we get potholes 00:21:18.368 --> 00:21:21.822 - quite a bit, so we pack gravel in there. 00:21:22.114 --> 00:21:30.637 - quite a bit. We do try to degrade it in a way to get the drainage to run off. We are working with that. 00:21:30.637 --> 00:21:39.077 - We've met with a couple of different vendors at different sites for drainage as the ice and snow melts 00:21:39.077 --> 00:21:47.682 - where the water's gonna run to. Yes, Councilor Bolts. Thank you. In Martin County, and I think you might 00:21:47.682 --> 00:21:50.878 - have said this at a different meeting, 00:21:51.778 --> 00:21:58.883 - is it or what agency is it that we're delivering to? It's Martin County Solid Waste so we actually don't 00:21:58.883 --> 00:22:05.649 - deliver they come and pick it up so when we have a truckload full they come and pick it up for free 00:22:05.649 --> 00:22:12.551 - because they don't have as many organizations that can get you get clothing like that so they take it 00:22:12.551 --> 00:22:17.694 - and go through it and let the surrounding counties down there go through it 00:22:18.242 --> 00:22:24.995 - And whatever can be reused in that area they take, then they ship off and everything else to be recycled. 00:22:24.995 --> 00:22:31.556 - All right. That's good to know. And do you have any idea how much utilization they have of those items 00:22:31.556 --> 00:22:37.927 - and how much they end up then forwarding off to recycling? I can find out. I honestly don't know on 00:22:37.927 --> 00:22:44.552 - this shipment. This is what the numbers that they reported back to me, but I can ask them how much they 00:22:44.552 --> 00:22:46.654 - actually got to use out of that. 00:22:47.074 --> 00:22:55.454 - Just in general, it would be good to know. I get a lot of questions around fabric and clothing recycling. 00:22:55.454 --> 00:23:03.518 - If it's just not good enough to go to someone else, what do I do with it? Would this be a good option 00:23:03.518 --> 00:23:11.582 - for folks? It may be. We do separate different stuff. So we have one big box that we put clothing in. 00:23:11.582 --> 00:23:16.958 - But inside that box, we separate stuff. So the shoes get separated. 00:23:17.378 --> 00:23:23.144 - the purses get separated, you know, like suspenders or something like that. I know we was separating 00:23:23.144 --> 00:23:28.854 - socks and I think we were separating rags. Now the animal shelter, we do ship to the animal shelter 00:23:28.854 --> 00:23:34.677 - too. They always look for towels, rags and stuff like that for the animals. So we also do that on the 00:23:34.677 --> 00:23:40.387 - side, but I don't track how much we give them because it's kind of like an as needed basis. So when 00:23:40.387 --> 00:23:45.982 - they say we need some, we collect it for them and we get it to them. And they walk down the hill. 00:23:46.594 --> 00:23:55.566 - we take that load to them. So we depend on how much we run a forklift up the hill to them. Okay, 00:23:55.566 --> 00:24:05.001 - thank you. So along those same lines, I'm wondering how long it took to gather all these donations of 00:24:05.001 --> 00:24:15.454 - 4,644 pounds. Is that like over six months or a year? It really depends. This is our, I believe, third shipment. 00:24:16.450 --> 00:24:23.137 - If you count in some from last year, you're probably looking about every four months. It's a lot. Yeah, 00:24:23.137 --> 00:24:29.824 - but that could go up and down like in the wintertime. We're definitely going to slow down. We slow down 00:24:29.824 --> 00:24:36.382 - in the wintertime and some of this stuff. People hold it up and bring us a large amount in the spring 00:24:36.382 --> 00:24:43.326 - so we get it. It's just how often they bring it to us. Alright, thank you. Any other questions or comments? 00:24:47.074 --> 00:24:57.286 - Thank you, Mr. Long. We can move on to Mr. Paulson's report, Landfill and Environmental Compliance. 00:24:57.286 --> 00:25:08.009 - Good afternoon. Lee Paulson, Environmental Compliance Landfill Director. The report is what it is. We're 00:25:08.009 --> 00:25:16.894 - still waiting for items response to our May 26 groundwater sampling event, which is an 00:25:17.250 --> 00:25:23.824 - Unusual usually we get it anytime from this time to the end of the month before we start on November 00:25:23.824 --> 00:25:30.594 - sampling event. There wasn't anything that was out of line or anything like that that would have raised 00:25:30.594 --> 00:25:37.233 - any eyebrows or anything like that. So it's just more of them taking the time to get through a pretty 00:25:37.233 --> 00:25:43.742 - lengthy report before they report back to us. But I would anticipate that document coming any time. 00:25:45.154 --> 00:25:51.191 - in the next couple of weeks, so we'll kind of go from there, but pretty much operation is normal here. 00:25:51.191 --> 00:25:57.286 - We've been shut down at the landfill, so we've been trying to spot clean the weeds that are in the pond 00:25:57.286 --> 00:26:03.557 - a little bit here or there, Marybeth and I, while the pond is still low. Our plan is to turn the treatment 00:26:03.557 --> 00:26:09.594 - plan on next week. We have a new computer system that we're putting online that is just different than 00:26:09.594 --> 00:26:10.942 - what we've had before. 00:26:11.106 --> 00:26:19.492 - So we're going to try to go slow and play with it, make sure we understand it before the weather gets 00:26:19.492 --> 00:26:27.796 - pretty ugly and need it, need it. And then Tom had mentioned the tire amnesty numbers. Those are the 00:26:27.796 --> 00:26:36.017 - last page of my part of the report. We saw less people this time around, but we still took out over 00:26:36.017 --> 00:26:37.086 - 1,200 tires. 00:26:37.314 --> 00:26:44.039 - Any tire we're taking off the side of the road or somebody's property that's not ending up that we have 00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:51.024 - to go pick up somewhere is an extremely positive thing. It was still a nice day, which may have contributed 00:26:51.024 --> 00:26:57.555 - to not as many people coming just because it had been not good. Then it was a beautiful day out that 00:26:57.555 --> 00:27:04.087 - Saturday. But we're still pleased with the turnout. I still think it's a very positive thing for the 00:27:04.087 --> 00:27:04.798 - community. 00:27:04.930 --> 00:27:12.023 - As long as we can keep getting that grant money, I know the core of us are all happy to do the work 00:27:12.023 --> 00:27:19.117 - to make it happen. If you guys have any questions, I'm happy to answer. Let me know. Thank you very 00:27:19.117 --> 00:27:26.352 - much, Mr. Paulson. Yeah, it is great that we can offer that event to preempt some of the cleanup that 00:27:26.352 --> 00:27:33.374 - you would have to deal with later. Yeah. Yeah. Are there any questions or comments on this report? 00:27:43.170 --> 00:27:55.954 - I think then we can go on to general public comment. Does any member of the public want to give a general 00:27:55.954 --> 00:28:08.255 - comment? I don't see anybody. All right. Comments from directors. I just wanted to mention, we talked 00:28:08.255 --> 00:28:12.958 - about this in the executive committee, 00:28:13.314 --> 00:28:20.590 - Starting at our next board meeting, we'll have our, and actually probably sooner than that, we'll have 00:28:20.590 --> 00:28:27.796 - our claims in a new easier to read format. So both the claims that are emailed each week and then the 00:28:27.796 --> 00:28:35.143 - summary of claims for the next board meeting. So thank you to Mr. Arnold for working on the new format. 00:28:35.143 --> 00:28:41.854 - I think it'll be. You're welcome. I enjoyed doing it. I think it'll be much easier for us all. 00:28:42.850 --> 00:28:51.026 - Yeah, we show templates, examples to the executive committee. We do think that it will be simpler to 00:28:51.026 --> 00:28:59.283 - read and understand. But obviously, if any board members have any questions or problems understanding 00:28:59.283 --> 00:29:07.459 - it, feel free to reach out to John or myself. And then I wanted to ask, is the CAC scheduled to meet 00:29:07.459 --> 00:29:12.478 - this month? Yes. We haven't heard from them in a while. Yeah. 00:29:13.058 --> 00:29:20.685 - They have not said anything to me about canceling next Thursday's meeting. I'm not sure what they have 00:29:20.685 --> 00:29:28.386 - planned as far as an agenda, but I have asked them to meet because we still have not approved the joint 00:29:28.386 --> 00:29:36.087 - meeting minutes from July. They need to get that done so they can be presented to the board. All right, 00:29:36.087 --> 00:29:42.974 - so hopefully we'll have a CAC update next time. Any other notes or questions from directors? 00:29:45.986 --> 00:29:50.366 - Seeing none, we can adjourn.
