12:52.900 --> 12:58.980
forms for you to fill out for payroll, for your gradients, and for the emails also for

12:58.980 --> 13:04.980
more so if you can fill those out, get back to me as soon as possible, that would be appreciated.

13:11.460 --> 13:13.620
Unless you have something that's changed with your

13:14.580 --> 13:18.580
that you're entering that year. So those of us that are continuing to do not need to fill out any

13:18.580 --> 13:24.660
of these papers in the lab. Unless there's something that you do not want to put in on the website or

13:24.660 --> 13:28.500
you know, there's nothing changed. So thank you.

13:30.100 --> 13:35.540
Okay and good for you is we all get an email address. If some of the old school or one

13:35.540 --> 13:39.780
search was not the use that you discussed, Kristin, and she did you a paper. So we're

13:39.780 --> 13:43.940
getting paid. You don't want to email someone. Some of us are really computer-related.

13:44.660 --> 13:47.620
I mean, not probably one of them, but I know enough to get by.

13:48.820 --> 13:55.460
The board and finance packets are usually done in Thursday and Friday before the meeting. So if

13:55.460 --> 13:59.380
you need to come in and get your packet ahead of time, they'll be in my office. Otherwise they

13:59.380 --> 14:03.860
get emailed in the afternoon to your company.

14:07.860 --> 14:11.860
Yes. So if we could just say 40 is early, if they're not.

14:13.860 --> 14:19.700
Rest of the committee, the chair appoints them. I'm going to hand it out at the end of this meeting

14:19.700 --> 14:26.020
which you're on. If you feel that maybe you couldn't, I got you wrong. If you don't want me to

14:26.020 --> 14:31.300
hesitate to tell me the switch it or what is something. If you have a fair date, trying to get

14:31.300 --> 14:35.380
all of the most used and ask you if I'm just suffering or something you're interested in,

14:36.100 --> 14:42.020
let me know. And Kristin found this out through the two other people that are on my end zoning

14:42.580 --> 14:45.140
post throughout the beginning of the extension. Is that correct?

14:45.860 --> 14:51.220
That's a lot of the land a lot of.

14:56.660 --> 15:00.740
Okay, I know it's a lot of you guys all to take in. Jay was going to get what we

15:00.740 --> 15:05.140
are going to wait for the next month which you guys get to feed underneath you. There's a lot

15:05.140 --> 15:12.100
of information to get. None of us know everything, but every one of us knows something that's going

15:12.180 --> 15:19.780
to help this move. So that's the way we operate. So everybody here, somebody here knows something

15:19.780 --> 15:29.140
about something that we just use you. I do have a written report that I'm going to send everybody.

15:29.140 --> 15:33.380
He's going to email it out. You can email it after you tell you it's just much. Yeah, well, it's

15:34.580 --> 15:41.860
yeah, I plan on a lot of you what I'm working on. I provided background.

15:42.100 --> 15:45.220
Writing so you read through with the process of what is the technical.

15:53.700 --> 15:56.180
Okay, we got to adopt Robert's rule of order.

15:58.020 --> 16:00.660
We have to make a motion in a second. We need a motion that will be.

16:01.140 --> 16:02.660
Oh, my good.

16:02.660 --> 16:04.740
Which of my follow-up. Second.

16:06.740 --> 16:08.820
We're going to be Frances on favor.

16:12.020 --> 16:14.980
designation of a legal code depository.

16:16.980 --> 16:19.620
We have to make a motion for that. We can ship off, right?

16:19.620 --> 16:23.620
We have to make a motion. We have to do that, but we also want to make a motion that will help

16:23.620 --> 16:27.620
me.

16:30.660 --> 16:36.100
So that's the local government investment pool. So almost every county along with other readers

16:36.100 --> 16:40.340
values across the state uses to tend to pay a higher interest rate.

16:40.980 --> 16:44.900
All right, now we're at 3.8 seconds. I think it was the last I saw.

16:49.060 --> 16:52.100
It's also an opportunity for us to just.

16:52.900 --> 16:54.740
Spread our money around.

16:54.740 --> 16:56.020
Into which one you want to make.

16:56.020 --> 17:03.380
One of the other benefits about the county's talk about is you can hold multiple accounts.

17:03.380 --> 17:07.300
So you can have sub accounts. So the highway has highway funds.

17:07.300 --> 17:10.660
We can put the highway funds in a high fund specific account.

17:11.220 --> 17:13.940
It earns its own specific interest. It's easy to track.

17:14.580 --> 17:16.660
Money loans automatically wire.

17:20.980 --> 17:25.700
It's also important. I could add something for collateralization when it comes to the audit.

17:26.180 --> 17:29.220
Having us money with multiple institutions.

17:29.220 --> 17:31.060
Satisfied more.

17:32.500 --> 17:33.220
That's true.

17:33.220 --> 17:37.060
In fact, I talked about that with the auditors today and they said it's a good plan.

17:37.060 --> 17:41.780
I think we took a lot of research service for us in the past.

17:41.780 --> 17:46.100
I don't know why we would take away business from business that is taxes for us.

17:46.100 --> 17:49.620
So why would I put my feelings on this up to you guys?

17:49.620 --> 17:55.540
I made the motion that we designates what Valley Bank and it's our day-to-day bank.

17:55.540 --> 18:00.420
We'll be in the LGIP as my business department.

18:00.420 --> 18:01.220
I will support that.

18:01.220 --> 18:06.340
The motion by right hand is a supportive way to improve energy.

18:07.540 --> 18:08.100
All in favor?

18:12.660 --> 18:16.580
Just to let you go to the auditor during the food on there.

18:16.580 --> 18:18.260
We're all going to get into our books.

18:21.060 --> 18:21.620
Okay.

18:21.620 --> 18:24.100
We're going to be here for the day where we're yesterday today.

18:24.100 --> 18:25.780
We're going to be here tomorrow, which is an interview.

18:25.780 --> 18:28.020
It's good things to hear along there now.

18:28.020 --> 18:29.940
So we're going in a redirection.

18:31.860 --> 18:35.300
Designation on fiscal accounting newspaper.

18:42.020 --> 18:43.940
Coach McCarolaw, I need a second.

18:43.940 --> 18:44.260
Second.

18:45.220 --> 18:46.260
Second by Roxanne.

18:46.260 --> 18:47.940
So we're going to be buying an all in favor.

18:49.300 --> 18:49.700
All those?

18:50.580 --> 18:51.300
Scaries.

18:52.020 --> 18:53.620
Designate corporate counsel.

18:53.620 --> 18:59.700
Designate the day and time for the 24-year meeting.

18:59.700 --> 19:03.780
It's usually a certain last day once.

19:03.780 --> 19:05.380
It's six o'clock here.

19:05.380 --> 19:06.100
We're going to go with that.

19:08.740 --> 19:09.540
We're going to go with that.

19:09.540 --> 19:12.020
I'm going to make a motion.

19:12.020 --> 19:12.340
Ready?

19:16.020 --> 19:16.340
Second.

19:17.060 --> 19:19.700
Take it one quick.

19:23.140 --> 19:24.500
drafting committee all in favor.

19:26.820 --> 19:27.620
All right.

19:27.620 --> 19:30.660
May the rule is now Designate Corporate Council.

19:30.660 --> 19:31.860
That's just what we did.

19:31.860 --> 19:34.420
We went, we've done my skin all.

19:34.420 --> 19:38.500
Some went back to as original Human Services,

19:38.500 --> 19:40.980
child support, role related to your county

19:40.980 --> 19:45.220
and we went with more Berker for more of the ordinances

19:45.220 --> 19:48.920
and stuff like that because he's has made field in Ashland.

19:48.920 --> 19:54.400
He's more, he's more into helping your keyword name too.

19:54.400 --> 19:57.120
Yeah, it's more experienced.

19:57.120 --> 19:58.120
Yeah.

19:58.120 --> 20:01.400
He's got the experience and he's actually been a little bit more.

20:01.400 --> 20:04.040
Okay, so that's all we're going to do.

20:04.040 --> 20:05.800
We're going to split him down, throw him back.

20:05.800 --> 20:08.000
So I need a motion for that if I could use it.

20:08.000 --> 20:12.640
I think it's a motion that we have here from the team.

20:12.640 --> 20:13.640
Alex, you want to call him?

20:13.640 --> 20:16.840
It's more popular with Clark and Clark and Clark.

20:16.840 --> 20:19.480
Unless it is.

20:19.480 --> 20:22.320
Yeah, yes, yes.

20:22.320 --> 20:24.160
It motioned by Roxanne.

20:24.160 --> 20:27.720
Both of our friends and my friend and state are all in favor.

20:27.720 --> 20:29.960
All right.

20:29.960 --> 20:31.600
The committee department is a chair.

20:31.600 --> 20:33.960
We need to meet.

20:33.960 --> 20:37.240
We haven't been meeting after the election.

20:37.240 --> 20:40.120
And we can't afford to support him.

20:40.120 --> 20:45.640
Actually, I have a little bit of support of Health Sydney.

20:45.640 --> 20:48.920
We had a hearing third place in the order of this other student

20:48.920 --> 20:50.080
sound.

20:50.080 --> 20:51.680
This is new meeting.

20:51.680 --> 20:53.480
The candidate, the owner.

20:53.480 --> 20:54.640
He lives in Florida.

20:54.640 --> 20:58.280
You want to request it a hearing to appeal.

20:58.280 --> 21:01.440
The he wanted to overturn the temporary closure

21:01.440 --> 21:03.560
of the multi-altitude and multiple health and safety

21:03.560 --> 21:04.560
violations.

21:04.560 --> 21:08.280
It was a history of temporary closures since last summer.

21:08.280 --> 21:09.720
There's no water sewer.

21:09.720 --> 21:13.400
The things green, the things locked or some kind of issues

21:13.400 --> 21:16.600
that have been going on for a long period of time.

21:16.600 --> 21:19.600
And the defendant did not join the hearing.

21:19.600 --> 21:20.600
He didn't join us.

21:20.600 --> 21:23.440
If there were discussion by the workhouse,

21:23.440 --> 21:27.880
we were both the license to operate the Silver Street Hotel.

21:27.880 --> 21:31.240
The owner would need to obtain a new license and inspection

21:31.240 --> 21:33.840
being compliant with regulations.

21:33.840 --> 21:37.600
I like the solution to the city of California.

21:37.600 --> 21:41.040
We have a sanitary license.

21:41.040 --> 21:42.040
And we are both down.

21:42.040 --> 21:44.040
I agree for a quality of it.

21:44.040 --> 21:45.040
Yeah.

21:45.040 --> 21:46.040
And there's the need.

21:46.040 --> 21:47.040
We had actually revoked the license.

21:47.040 --> 21:50.040
I think that's it.

21:50.040 --> 21:52.040
It's going to happen.

21:52.040 --> 21:53.040
Yeah.

21:53.040 --> 21:54.040
Yeah.

21:54.040 --> 21:55.040
OK.

21:55.040 --> 21:56.040
OK.

21:56.040 --> 21:57.040
Anybody else?

21:57.040 --> 21:59.040
Did anybody else meet?

21:59.040 --> 22:03.040
We had a memorial building meeting on dangerous ones.

22:03.040 --> 22:05.040
We got a fence coming up.

22:05.040 --> 22:09.040
And we actually got some of the interesting room in us.

22:09.040 --> 22:11.040
So we're not for sure enough.

22:11.040 --> 22:13.040
But they did a full change.

22:13.040 --> 22:17.040
We can't hear the last few.

22:17.040 --> 22:20.040
The kids are almost done with the wheels on the cannon.

22:20.040 --> 22:24.040
And we're going to try to get the cannon put together by the morning.

22:24.040 --> 22:25.040
The cannon wheels.

22:25.040 --> 22:28.040
One of the cannon wheels and John got picked up this morning.

22:28.040 --> 22:30.040
The other one there.

22:30.040 --> 22:31.040
They're working.

22:32.040 --> 22:36.040
It's really nice and possible to get a little fire.

22:36.040 --> 22:39.040
We have to take the time to actually do that.

22:39.040 --> 22:41.040
We'll point it out.

22:41.040 --> 22:42.040
I want to call it.

22:42.040 --> 22:43.040
I want to call it out.

22:43.040 --> 22:45.040
I want to call it out.

22:45.040 --> 22:47.040
I want to call it out.

22:47.040 --> 22:49.040
I want to see if they're going to make a fence.

22:49.040 --> 22:50.040
They are.

22:50.040 --> 22:51.040
They really did it.

22:51.040 --> 22:52.040
And everything.

22:52.040 --> 22:54.040
They're going to have a fun time.

22:54.040 --> 22:55.040
Yeah.

22:55.040 --> 22:56.040
Hey.

22:56.040 --> 22:57.040
Number 20.

22:57.040 --> 22:58.040
Is there any public comment?

22:58.040 --> 23:00.040
Are we going to get anything to say?

23:01.040 --> 23:03.040
We have an airport meeting.

23:03.040 --> 23:04.040
Okay.

23:04.040 --> 23:05.040
And.

23:05.040 --> 23:06.040
Right now.

23:06.040 --> 23:08.040
The big thing under the agenda.

23:08.040 --> 23:09.040
I hear.

23:09.040 --> 23:11.040
There is one.

23:11.040 --> 23:12.040
Oh.

23:12.040 --> 23:13.040
Still.

23:13.040 --> 23:20.040
In the process.

23:20.040 --> 23:27.040
Oh.

23:28.040 --> 23:36.040
Thank you.

23:36.040 --> 23:37.040
They have to say is this.

23:37.040 --> 23:38.040
What we need.

23:38.040 --> 23:39.040
Once a month.

23:39.040 --> 23:40.040
Put together.

23:40.040 --> 23:41.040
Make sure whatever.

23:41.040 --> 23:43.040
Take a little home.

23:43.040 --> 23:45.040
That's right.

23:45.040 --> 23:46.040
People in your district.

23:46.040 --> 23:48.040
You're also representing.

23:49.040 --> 23:51.040
It's going to be good for all of them.

23:51.040 --> 23:53.040
I think it's going to be a.

23:53.040 --> 23:54.040
People.

23:54.040 --> 23:56.040
With the lies.

23:56.040 --> 23:57.040
Some.

23:57.040 --> 23:58.040
It's a movie of us.

23:58.040 --> 24:00.040
We need the evidence in the way.

24:00.040 --> 24:01.040
I'm going to do.

24:01.040 --> 24:02.040
We think.

24:02.040 --> 24:03.040
I'm all for it.

24:03.040 --> 24:06.040
We have to have a better idea than we got going to bring it to our attention.

24:06.040 --> 24:07.040
Okay.

24:07.040 --> 24:10.040
What do you want to do is discuss.

24:10.040 --> 24:27.040
I'm just going to quickly go through.

24:27.040 --> 24:35.040
I'm just going to quickly go through.

24:35.040 --> 24:57.040
I'm just going to go through.

24:57.040 --> 25:04.040
I'm just going to.

25:04.040 --> 25:22.040
I'm just going to go through.

25:22.040 --> 25:29.040
That's for years.

25:29.040 --> 25:30.040
Okay.

25:31.040 --> 25:33.040
So my name is Heather Palmquist.

25:33.040 --> 25:38.040
I'm the community conservationist or department head for the land and water conservation department.

25:38.040 --> 25:40.040
The department for, I think, 18 years.

25:40.040 --> 25:43.040
And we have a pretty small department, but.

25:43.040 --> 25:47.040
I just passed around our annual report for 2025.

25:47.040 --> 25:51.040
This kind of gives the view overview of what we accomplished in 2025.

25:51.040 --> 25:53.040
Talk about finances.

25:53.040 --> 25:58.040
Kind of just our basic accomplishments throughout the year.

25:59.040 --> 26:01.040
I'm not going to go through all of that with you.

26:01.040 --> 26:09.040
I'm going to do a very brief introduction for those of you who are not on our committee and then those of you who are new to the board.

26:09.040 --> 26:19.040
Because we're kind of not a not as well of a no one department necessarily like the health department or the highway department that are pretty self explained is great.

26:19.040 --> 26:20.040
Oops.

26:20.040 --> 26:21.040
Okay.

26:21.040 --> 26:26.040
So staff and programming, basically, we have two full time people in the department.

26:26.040 --> 26:35.040
Myself as the department head I handle administration, all the grant writing, budget, financing, plan writing, supervising our staff and programs.

26:35.040 --> 26:38.040
I also operate as our technician.

26:38.040 --> 26:48.040
So a lot of county departments live in water conservation departments have an administrator, but then they also have a technician and then they might have several other staff as well.

26:48.040 --> 26:53.040
So I handle all of our cost share projects through the department.

26:53.040 --> 26:56.040
So we work with farmers.

26:56.040 --> 26:59.040
We work with municipalities on culvert replacements.

26:59.040 --> 27:02.040
And we also work a lot on shoreline projects.

27:02.040 --> 27:06.040
And we all go through some of those projects.

27:06.040 --> 27:13.040
In a little bit more detail, but basically we can help we get a pot of money from.

27:13.040 --> 27:22.040
The department of agriculture trade and consumer protection to implement these projects with throughout the county.

27:22.040 --> 27:27.040
And then we also have a native plant sale that I manage as well.

27:27.040 --> 27:31.040
We have a conservation specialist is the second position in our department.

27:31.040 --> 27:33.040
That's full time.

27:33.040 --> 27:42.040
And they are responsible for a lot of education and outreach, not only to adults, but also to the youth in the in the county.

27:43.040 --> 27:51.040
They also handle our invasive species program, both terrestrial and aquatic invasive species and they coordinate our summer staff.

27:51.040 --> 27:59.040
And then they also work hand in hand with our water quality volunteers conducting water quality surface water quality on our lakes and streams.

27:59.040 --> 28:03.040
And they handle, like I said, our lt staff.

28:03.040 --> 28:10.040
We hire anywhere from two to four limited term employees for the summer months to help with that invasive species program.

28:11.040 --> 28:19.040
So one thing that I think our department stands out a lot is we are largely grant funded.

28:19.040 --> 28:29.040
Okay, so the biggest contributor to our department is the department of agriculture trade and consumer protection or that cap.

28:29.040 --> 28:36.040
So they fund 100% of the first position or my position in the county, including the benefit package.

28:37.040 --> 28:41.040
So 100% of my cost to the county is is paid for.

28:41.040 --> 28:47.040
And then they come up with 70% of the conservation specialist position funding as well.

28:47.040 --> 28:50.040
And again, that includes the benefit package as well.

28:50.040 --> 29:03.040
And then statutorily, they don't necessarily get here every year, depending on the state budget, but then they statutorily are supposed to hit 50% of a third position for the county.

29:04.040 --> 29:11.040
And then they also give us the cost share funding that we get to implement annually with landowners.

29:11.040 --> 29:12.040
We also.

29:14.040 --> 29:19.040
Is that third position when we get the money enough to cover summer?

29:21.040 --> 29:25.040
That would be if we had a full time position.

29:26.040 --> 29:36.040
And historically, since I've been around, we haven't had enough money in the state budget to make it to this 50% position.

29:36.040 --> 29:45.040
But good question. Yes. And I think you could then maybe do 50%. You get a percentage of that.

29:45.040 --> 29:52.040
We also get a lot of funding from the DNR.

29:52.040 --> 29:58.040
So we handle the wildlife damage program. That's for farmers who are experiencing crop damage.

29:58.040 --> 30:08.040
And we contract that we basically act as the liaison where we contract that position out through USDA and AFIS.

30:08.040 --> 30:14.040
And then we're reimbursed through the DNR for all of those kind of contracted costs.

30:15.040 --> 30:25.040
And then we also get annual funding for LTE staff. So that is 100% paid for by a DNR grant and an additional grant.

30:25.040 --> 30:32.040
And we constantly are getting other grants for big projects that come up as as needy.

30:32.040 --> 30:40.040
And then we have a very low percent of our budget, which we'll go through that actually the county levy contributes.

30:41.040 --> 30:53.040
So here's kind of a breakdown of 2025 where all of that money came from. You can see on the bottom right there that our total budget was $254,000.

30:53.040 --> 31:01.040
So here you can see half of that is coming from that whole operating budget is coming from that cap for the staff support.

31:02.040 --> 31:07.040
We've got cost here coming in at 14%, the wildlife damage program at 13%.

31:07.040 --> 31:19.040
The county levy is here at 9%. So it's a very, very small portion of tax dollars of county tax dollars that are going to towards our department.

31:20.040 --> 31:34.040
So a little bit about that cost share program. So we have a rule called ATP 50 and that outlines a bunch of different practices that we can help landowners with for soil and water quality help.

31:34.040 --> 31:39.040
So I do work with a lot with municipalities on culvert replacement.

31:40.040 --> 31:49.040
I can't just replace a culvert on a for a township or a county because their culvert is failing. There has to be a natural resource concern.

31:49.040 --> 31:57.040
So everything that we're doing with our cost share dollars has to meet criteria set out in that at cap 50.

31:57.040 --> 32:05.040
And it has to have a soil or water quality concern associated with the project for us to be able to put our state dollars on that.

32:06.040 --> 32:20.040
So through that program, I go out and I do project surveys that do the actual design often with help from a state engineer and go through all the permitting process.

32:20.040 --> 32:27.040
And then we're able to fund up to 50% or up to 70% depending on the project.

32:27.040 --> 32:31.040
And that's all dictated through that ATP 50.

32:32.040 --> 32:47.040
So the main projects that we can do are agriculture practices, stream crossings and different shoreline protection. So here's a couple of example, an example of a farm project that we had done in the town of Saxon.

32:48.040 --> 32:57.040
Some of our stream crossing projects. So this is an issue that we might have and show up to this was actually with the town of Anderson.

32:57.040 --> 33:07.040
And you can see that the in this case, the road is washing out depositing a bunch of gravel into the stream and black one adjacent.

33:08.040 --> 33:17.040
Shoreline protection. So here we're having a bunch of erosion that would be causing sedimentation into in this case, a lake.

33:17.040 --> 33:24.040
And so we can design something to mitigate that shoreline and erosion and protective.

33:27.040 --> 33:36.040
Now, kind of that other part of our department, we do a ton of work within basis species. So both terrestrial and aquatics.

33:36.040 --> 33:49.040
So you can see here, this was a day with along the Montreal River up here in Hurley, where we have early sixth graders that come out and pull a bunch of garlic mustard.

33:49.040 --> 33:54.040
Every year we've been doing that partnership for probably about 18 years.

33:54.040 --> 34:01.040
And we some of our invasive species. This is called wild parsnip and that has a health concern.

34:02.040 --> 34:12.040
So if you get into that, and you're in the sunlight, the juices of the plant can cause a severe rash are worse than poison ivy as our highway worker found out.

34:12.040 --> 34:25.040
And then we have the aquatic side where we do some management with aquatic invasive species as well. There's picture of us working on some curly leaf pond weed down in the town of Mercer.

34:26.040 --> 34:45.040
And here is a flowerage, finding water flea that we had sampled and we're doing some data collection with water quality. So again, we monitor and actively work with volunteers and over 37 lakes across the county.

34:46.040 --> 34:57.040
This year, just last week, I was at the Wisconsin Lakes Convention and one of our water quality volunteers got a state recognition, which is a very, very competitive.

34:57.040 --> 35:08.040
Award, and he was awarded for all of his service for Wisconsin lakes, specifically his work on spider lake and Mercer.

35:09.040 --> 35:26.040
And we do a ton of, like I said, a ton of outreach and education. So both adults, you can see here, we did a pontoon cruise so that people kind of understand some of their lake ecology and brought folks out to that lake to look at some of their concerns from DNR.

35:27.040 --> 35:39.040
Here we did conservation on tap a few years back, just educating the public and different natural resource things and we do a lot of education and outreach in the schools.

35:39.040 --> 35:50.040
We did a wound project and then we're talking about watersheds and healthy watersheds and then we run our conservation camp for high school students.

35:51.040 --> 36:03.040
So if anybody ever has questions, our door is always open. Our office is in the forestry and highway building down on 30 Avenue.

36:03.040 --> 36:08.040
And so, come and talk to us and figure out what we're doing.

36:08.040 --> 36:10.040
Thank you.

36:10.040 --> 36:11.040
The first another right.

36:11.040 --> 36:16.040
Yes, this is our new Molly has been on the job for about four weeks. She's doing an excellent job.

36:17.040 --> 36:24.040
She has a double masters coming from and out of Ann Arbor, but she's a Wisconsin.

36:24.040 --> 36:29.040
So she's really excited to be up here in Northern Wisconsin.

36:29.040 --> 36:30.040
Thank you.

36:30.040 --> 36:33.040
Yeah, you're welcome. Thank you for the time.

36:34.040 --> 36:39.040
Heather won an award last summer. She was running the best in the state.

36:39.040 --> 36:43.040
Which was conservation of the year.

36:43.040 --> 36:48.040
That was nice. So we have somebody to find his people working for us.

36:48.040 --> 36:51.040
Okay.

36:51.040 --> 36:54.040
That covers everything.

36:54.040 --> 36:57.040
Communities like the john at the end of this.

36:57.040 --> 37:01.040
Sorry.

37:08.040 --> 37:11.040
Sorry.

37:11.040 --> 37:19.040
Okay.

37:19.040 --> 37:22.800
I think we are new to the board.

37:22.800 --> 37:26.680
Would you please leave me outside that I can sit down and then?

37:26.680 --> 37:27.180
Yeah.

37:27.180 --> 37:29.680
Hi, there you go.

37:29.680 --> 37:31.680
