our children our pets all people need protection from the feeding drivers i know that are sticking with my not hard road neighbors that concord road isn't the only road we're stealing drivers control the roads is an endemic problem reaching epidemic proportions planning in ministration and we've got an hour and twenty minutes for this for items a b and caesars and more than just the ones that i mentioned but what do you think jeff can we do the budget the first thing i'd like to discuss is the first draft of the highway budget this is all the budget numbers to start with eleven then we've been managing the second six months however that term uniforms a safe office supplies has gone up by a thousand dollars pete you want to explain why that is looking to replace the the computer in the printer my office would actually and we may not have to do that i think there's enough equipment purchase money available right now to do this and is physically yourself probably going to do that we'll probably going to reduce that back i think will do that sooner than later  there is no travel budget telephone has gone up and i believe that probably reflects current usage education alliance licenses that are part of the same heat and electricity we proposed to be the same water and sewer i think that for one reflects current usage and there may be an increase by next year also trash removal we're keeping the same maintenance is for garage meet once it's repairs around the shop that's paying the same so two thousand dollars three lights we're keeping the same that may have to be it's line item in a flight twelve it looks like there was budgeted ten thousand and there was almost nine thousand dollars spent and that budgeted twenty thirteen seven thousand seventy do we have any idea if it's going to be closer because i note interest on it carries the excavator in the i believe the proposed loader and these are all preliminary estimates at seventy eight hundred dollars ninety six highway garage interest actually that's going to come down a little bit preliminarily budgeted so nine hundred ninety with real interest as less than five thousand dollars on that and i have to double check that water sewer that five hundred dollars will be for the new truck ok and then we have radio repair two hundred dollars gas and oil which is gasoline for small quick correct perk no you couldn't yes you can we have diesel fuel this is a big item it was budgeted fifty eight thousand for the past two years last year we spent almost seventy thousand soapie to put in seventy thousand this year it's very difficult because we're trying to predict what these will feel is going to cost in july that's going to last through another year or so  i don't know that we have much faith it's going to come down lower than what it is right now fleet repair trucks right now we have twelve thousand dollars budget last year is we spent a little more because we had a difficult problem with one of them but typically twelve thousand dollars enough to carries through a year excavator repair we have fifteen hundred dollars budgeted we need to be shot in the given three years from special tools which are maintenance attachments remains the same with three hundred greater repair remains the same in two thousand load or repair tractor stays the same a three hundred utility vehicle which the snow plowing and other things on the sidewalks is a thousand dollars that comes down a little bit tired chain stays same with twelve hundred tires goes up by five hundred eight thousand small equipment repair stays the same one thousand equipment rental goes up to twelve thousand what picture equipment would we rent typically that just falls your gravel plan the interim consultant stays the same in two hundred small equipment purchased is the same as seven thousand cutting edges stays the same it ten thousand these are rolling so willing codes applies as one thousand goes up to three hundred stays the same sixteen thousand one of the largest items are gravel plane goes up to two hundred twenty thousand five hundred which is thirty thousand five hundred dollars increase last year we had a mistake in the annual increase that had been agreed to prior for gravel we were supposed to go up sixteen thousand last year and we didn't put it sixteen thousand there was going to go up another sixteen thousand so pete sticking with the agreed upon plan and taking that they had increase this year salt goes up by two thousand dollars to fifty to sixty thousand dollars say and stay the same forty eight thousand miscellaneous supplies to  street sweeping stays the same at thirty five hundred so a line painting and shoulder painting still goes up five hundred twenty five hundred guardrail replacement stays the same with three thousand signs goes up five hundred fifteen plan stormbreaker maintenance stays the same one thousand one hundred fifty the highway garage wind is a debt service arden stays the same way twenty five thousand jericho road is a debt service item and actually draw office to seventy two thousand eight hundred from eighty three thousand this is because of the post author to just once that we've made when we first did a project we assumed the general fund would pay roughly fifty five percent and the waterfront would pay roughly forty five percent of the debt service as the project went on all the change orders that added money to the project were on the water side and all the savings that we received on our quantities was on the general fund side so it's flip flopped and actually fifty two percent paid for by water and sewer and forty eight paid for by general fun we have a two thousand and fourteen tandem dump truck replacements this is a new this is a replacement item for thirty thousand dollars we have a replacement loader for twenty five thousand the balance of the foreman pick up at thirty five thousand and i've gotten a way to explain that expense when we get to it two thousand love and dump truck that is going up to twenty seven for seventy it's on a four year no that's twenty two thousand for thirty eight we have the highway capital reserve stays the same twenty seven seven the bridge of coal reserves stays the same at thirty seven thousand well first i'd like to and we're about forty percent of the talk or several of them right now so these roads are coming back in good shape can you was a perfect example of road every year that was historically close because it was so poor we fixed that route two years ago and she three years whenever we want that we're still going to have to pay for them i understand it's on an hourly basis but it's but i just didn't know if this budget is based on obviously what we've used in the past and not assuming that there may or may not be savings oh we're talking about piece of equipment called factor what it is it has a high pressure hose that both jets out water and can suck it up like a vacuum and it's useful for cleaning what is the basis for contribution to the capital reserve because it seems like it's been level funded for a couple of years now it has been level one for  fund reserve funds there's there's this which is we're going to put in twenty seven thousand dollars every year for highway capital it's going to go into the highway budget for whatever amount there is also and that has to be voted on for a certain amount every year there's also another way which you can do a surcharge fund which is fifteen percent of a one out of debt and only now that can be a straight line so it so it is so it adjusts every year so it's fifteen percent therefore it's also matching kind of he said put five percent and then it can match what you spend and then so therefore it's based on some some reality as opposed to it doesn't even i mean twenty seven thousand seems like a lot of money but when you look at all of the stuff that we need to pay for over the next couple of years it pales in comparison to what we should be putting away now i'm not saying that you know to suddenly put away i just did some quick calculations you know hundred sixty two thousand dollars a year to pay for future stuff because that would blow the budget but but if if there were if it was based on something that would keep up with what we're investing in then that's that at least we're basing it on something sort of an arbitrary number we're coming up a little short what do we cut ok we cut capital so that's another question is that is twenty seven actually going and every year and twenty twenty seven seventy seven hundred twenty seven thousand seven hundred and thirty seven thousand i believe that that's prudent and there are a couple of other one time repairs that i think we should do that we are what i want to avoid is using service to offset operating expenditures their dump trucks are currently only your replacement cycle it seems to work pretty well getting rid of them before we have major breakdowns we carry a twelve thousand dollar pier one item for the whole fleet so the eight year cycle seems to work pretty well for us when we're getting good usage out of them or getting high resale out of them and that works well or bucket loader is on a ten year replacement cycle and that works well for us also it's percentage used to capital equipment notes those three items right there with the interest increase is all that's fifty percent of this budget increase the graveled paving points add up to twenty six percent increase in this fiscal year salaries and adding overtime in without that seven percent the diesel fuel by itself is a six percent increase in all the remaining wadhams combined just three percent so you can see  obviously the gravel scaling us to believe we can do on that end is there any options or competition insourcing or if we talk about lean we've done that we were using a local source that didn't meet spec we're having a lot of hilliary with several meetings with tax payers and the previous what boards the town chose to the buy the quality materials to get the longevity out of it and that's what we've been using it we're seeing this you know to the long term you know delivering high quality road the reason such a big jump is we grab the point itself in the budget the two numbers didn't match we didn't show the increase in this so therefore peace here to preserve the recreation but as well right now we have recreation salaries which pays for the recreation director andy garbage collection thirty eight hundred dollars no change  in special event stays five hundred dollars we did spend in the last year i'm not sure that we have really a big need for it to have to take a look at that but it could go towards additional celebrations managing managing this budget a little bit more but also providing more the way services to the families that are the reason the feels and  more like a superintendent there he doesn't really do anything with programs i'm doing the scheduling now but we have no program person they're completely run by community organizations  departments really to be used as budget planning tools so we have a good understanding of what that apartment is doing in the kind of resources they need to accomplish accomplish their goals as you are  back anytime soon there's a commitment that the town's making and i think that it's sort of unfair to say that the clerk down of ministration finance and players are going all need to be along to one because we sort of compete for some of the answer any questions you have that i think is pretty straightforward for the most part we just hold money out of the you know ministration budget and put it into planning and zoning the salaries include a two percent recommended increase which again has not been finalized by the select board at sixty one thousand five hundred dollars social security medicare is four thousand six hundred twenty five dollars and has for retirement three thousand one hundred dollars health insurance at nine hundred thousand one hundred fifty and that represents a twenty percent increase over the current budget or whole long term disability and a living hundred dollars office supplies of two thousand nine hundred dollars postage for planning to earning one thousand two hundred dollars and this is go on going for notices and other materials that might need to be mailed during the year advertising four thousand two hundred dollars training in education nine hundred seventy five dollars travel seven hundred twenty five dollars again this is primarily for sites factions no association dues costs contract services two thousand seven hundred dollars which includes the second of two a two year payment for the orthographic that doesn't include i didn't also so legal expenses so that includes all and use related expenses even those that might have  of bylaws because really don't expect to be needed this time here plantings only break out i'll let you know what's increased i know no additional positions requests just cost of living increases assuming two percent for the administration salaries dollars and again i put that in for a contract c p a do or year in financials contract services for listers i put in one thousand dollars extra so it's two thousand dollars total contract services for animal control put in two thousand dollars which brings it up to what it was three years ago contract services elections are staying the same when we come down to heat it's gone up from fifty five hundred to twenty thousand dollars and this is a conscious correction that i'm making to the budget because we always been that much what we've been doing is if it's called debt service that it can only be used to pay debt so we can call the town center reserve if we can we can vote to change it's we can re appropriate those funds but it can't if it's for debt it has to be used to pay for de more public knows that taking a new can conversion to gas or no it doesn't i don't think we're going to be able to do that this year although we can and we think we're going to be able to have a place for next year we know this like this is this is kind of a worst case scenario which is probably appropriate for budgeting at this point even though it engineering review thirty three thousand stays the same tax make me tax map me that stays the same thirty five hundred i put in a five thousand dollars increase for general insurance the county and i'm not quite sure why it was done that way i think part of it had to be the prior way we paid this was in two different stallman's in two different fiscal years and i think that we can do that practice and then the rest of the items stay the same we we are paying off the one of the bonds so the last forty five hundred principal five hundred eighty one dollars interest coming off the developed and the last part of this is the revenues you can take a look at what we've got for revenues right now this hasn't been really fine tuned at all i think it's a very conservative revenue estimate at this point the rough budgets as presented on the first draft represents a five point three seven a five point eight cent increase which is a little over eight percent tax increase no i don't in any way expect you to accept that that's not what we're going to present to the voters of this budget is going to take a lot of we're going to take over the next four or five years will be able to agree on what's acceptable rates would rates would have to increase to keep keep up with inflation there hasn't been an increase in every increase in probably two or three years so we're behind the eight ball to start off with much less with having to pay  fifty two percent of our one point five billion dollars bond so one point six or seven million dollars on so we it's coming so just departments need to be aware that i haven't finalized anything  them and and in looking because you've separated out now to actually a nine point two five percent increase from where you think the majority of and even though the heat increase is being accounted for with a different revenue it's still flex as spending increases it's slow and also there's the placeholder of the twenty percent a lot of these items that have been placed into the budget already according to schedule one of the things we haven't finally decided on is what fifty first street project would look like anticipate that we would taxation hit for a year but you'd still have the cost eventually but i think that funding that over a number of years prove where you go because it's a hard asset it's going to have a twenty year life paying for it for that investment hoping that then that will spur some other investment from the us that i do think there's a demand right now i think it's you know regardless of what happens in the future i think there's a need right project list is pretty short at the moment for next year we really don't have very much on plate except fruits to the roof for the things in the park there's building to be largely taken care of  highway has its road plans but we don't have a pending water and sewer bill and it looks like in our debt retirement project it looks like the town center debt retires in twenty fourteen so that's a thirty thousand dollars debt payment that on exactly how we're using reasoning like in rental income to pay that debt service ok and i think the townspeople might have something to say if cost under thousand or a little more than that that you can do it for your new twenty five thousand dollars each year is manageable it will lead to a half cent tax increase in future years to pay for that but again the months of projects paid for it will be there for twenty years or more money will always have it but the improve  the two biggest departments that i think have the most questions are the library and highway i think through the police department pretty well so i don't know that we're going to make any changes to that far apart department i think is fine because we are really going to replace their packs this year through their regular careful fund contribution their big question comes to here you know they really want to replace the the last the third fire truck  for the administration i don't have anything significant that's not already going to be paid for with the town center fund so really what you have is a long list of requests from the librarian how we might prioritize that and what kind of money we choose to offer them to get get that accomplished and then of course your capital purchases for hard work but with the library i did some calculations on based on what they'd like to replace things and if they stick to the annual contribution to like nine thousand dollars a year they can pay for those things out of capital it doesn't need to be it doesn't need to be a line item in their budget every year they don't need to put in fifteen thousand dollars for a basement ceiling they've got if they use their cap if they use what the capital is designed for that's to do capital improvement projects then this is done this is not in on a ship they can get everything done carpet replacement is a twelve year cycle f y fourteen through sixteen so if they if they wait till sixteen to do the third year they're going to have time between now and then to s to to do their contribution and if they wait on the technology upgrade until twenty sixteen as well they will have the money and they have already asked for ten thousand dollars in the roof or a parent twenty thirteen so that eliminates that and that bill of plenty if they stick to this they stick to what they have are already contra control contributed what they plan to contribute over there they'll be fine including the twenty fourteen things that they want to do for the last years that they can i mean the first floor was installed in two thousand and eleven and then the other ones are or twenty or two thousand and twelve so you know prioritize obviously second floor which on a twenty year projection of if we were placed everything when they wanted it to how much we'd have to receive every year and how much that would go in the capital minus what has already been saved and then you'd have to say well what do we have to either annual appropriate for or do  we could get on the capital that we put away the money that we save right which can be good you can which could be you know one percent will get that depending everybody but it would be better than than spending two or three percent this is this this every single meeting and i know it's hard looking at budgets with with significant increases but even a little bit goes a long way so that's that's why i sat down and said this would be wishlist world and what can we really do what we have been good at doing sort of as one note expires deferring needing to take another look to you know to put in its place as things inevitably come up or to hear bands of that so that the end of this recently the impact on appropriate the capital contribution in the fiscal year but we don't actually make the contribution until the end of the year but we typically spend it make the spending we convert it at the beginning of the year so i think everything is a seventy here because capital is really usually dependent on if there's an money left over again so it's that happens at the end of the fiscal year whereas we typically in congress like we've already encumbered ourself budget for the year we cover that in august and the fiscal year doesn't end until june so so we may have to spend more so there may not be any money left to itself but it is actually spent it's encumbered right by a purchase order it hasn't we haven't bought sixty thousand dollars worth of salt or whatever we can conver i mean this is great thank you for reporting that together back to the library though the ag it seems like this is something worthwhile i mean how can we take this over the trustees and that i mean that the way what this is sort of going towards a sort of laying out a capital schedule like actually done here and sort of saying well if you fit within that that's fine you know and and all right so does that take care that the right in the in the interest of time we will pour over the highway budget but please between  let me know what your thoughts ok we do health insurance health insurance i think we should take this real quick because it could lead to a lot of fruitless discussion because for so many  with it but i'm not going to read the memo the essential will just for the benefit the public to prepared a memo on the current situation the change in health care laws and more about it every day it's not something i have a great deal of knowledge about but in the past month or so i've gone to several some in ours put on by both b l c t and blue cross blue shield and what it boils down to is that with the new affordable care act which is a federal law the states are creating how the exchanges where individuals can purchase a set of predesigned plans offered by competing insurance companies in vermont has made a lot of progress towards implementing that law and they're still trying to develop but it's going to look like but essentially for employers with fifty or fewer eligible employees that would include richmond in january of two thousand and fourteen which is fourteen and a half months from now we would have to offer insurance through the health exchange which we could no longer have what health plan that we have now it's not going to look like that they're going to have four different plans called bronze silver gold and platinum with standardized offerings in each plan but the state can't tell you exactly what it's going what those planes are going to look like and they certainly can't tell you what they're going to cost all we can tell you is that a year from now we're going to our employees are going to have to enroll in a completely different health plan on top of that if individuals purchase insurance on their own they may qualify for significant tax credits to do so via l c t and other people are urging small employers to not offer group health insurance because there is no such thing here and have employees purchase health insurance on their own and take advantage of tax credits they're also suggesting that employers may be able to subsidize that in some way but they don't know how so what it comes down to is there's going to be a huge change that i don't know what it's going to look like and i don't know what it's going to cost it's virtually impossible at this point to budget for what i suggest is that we try to pay attention to what the immediate health care is going to cost and calendar year two thousand and thirteen budget accordingly and we'll be discussing this and determining what the select who are ultimately wants to do as more facts become available plans get finalized the state has recommendations and we can really understand what's going on that may be six to nine months from now so it's not something you can decide right now  and not to be flippant but if there is a change in the presidential administration there could be significant changes to the health care law at the federal level also and that made to late may may cause state an implementation i'm not sure so there you have it if i get more information on that you know but the twenty percent health care increase is really just a placeholder at this point about how much time you need for that materials on it has to do with you you all being concerned about what we were doing for work so there was a couple of projects that we told you we would come to you in and get your approval on basically one is a project that jeff and i don't know how he's decided to go on with was the valuation of count properties for insurance purposes we had discussed that i was going to get an under contract services have a price established for what it would cost to assess the value of the town property because that's something that we do because your tax exempt or you're exempt from the grant list so one structure particularly with water and sewer a number of buildings that site really only has one on you with the flooding last year they recognize that area things were another thing that has come to our attention is on the grand list actually on the list of exempt properties the town of richmond only and that's are three five five five which is on a stage road and it should put into your planning process maybe doing a forest management plan i know the town of bolton harvested hire forster harvested some of their temper off of theirs and they have one in the same area that we do and they were able to generate a lot of that the public can use the property that they own and there's also or and there's also the possibility of this land seem valid seems to here to be landlocked but it doesn't mean that you couldn't gain access through  but it's the land of buying cracow and things like that so they're going to be other landowners over that out there who might wish to pursue purchase of it or we should at least maintain a course on i have no idea i have not walked the property mention that and it is also possible that because that is in a remote area that somebody might be encroaching on our coaching and they might have a house or camp on it we have no way nobody goes up there check on it it's not like it's part of the grand list of four eleven but it's under exam property so we don't need to actually put values in so we went to the school district and we had asked them before we watched it right with they didn't have that information available to us after the the sixteen hundred dollars to supply that out and there was a seven billion dollar property valuation that if they could just july financial statements that we're looking at the  meeting for the we know that the financials were incorrect and there was an error so we need to be on top of our numbers going through this process and it can't be just at the end of the year that we find out that there's a problem or at the updates and there's a general ledger account for that which was the thirty five hundred that you went and discussed during during the head ministration general ledger accounts that you were going through that thirty five hundred i think  error in this year's general ledger activity from july your first quarter of this year because there's one thousand and ninety seven dollars and fifty cents jeff and i talked about this that words in ways that should be in your last year's invoices it was for activity done from june and before that so there should be there should be zero charges against the general ledger account for thirty five hundred dollars for fiscal year tw using that thirty five hundred dollars i don't think it's going to take out all of them out to update the tax amount and get your approval to do so and whatever funds are not used to update the tax maps and we get  because we do a lot of work in office for two thousand dollars the other fifteen hundred will go towards the fact that you under budgeted the list of the general ledger account numbers so we can say to you on the tax map side of things from getting an independent contractor because we have to renew the stuff in our office and then we want to make sure that you know that we might spend some time doing it but we're at twelve dollars an to you and say you know somebody else is doing it for a lot in the last and they're getting better quality work but that is not the case here we'd like to continue on with her since she has a level of the work already completed now after these tax maps decisions on as long as it fits into their budget as far as how they want you to spend their money there may have been a your word actually cost thirty five hundred for the entire process so that's why that was used as a projection i'm assuming i think we skipped a few years michigan has the board decided who the legal counsel is going to be for the b y c c process just so that we can have gotten our files we did receive a letter from my that is paul frank and collins indicating that they were representing the  last thing before we go to arizona missions is we'd like to make the request that the roosters office have an independent budget or sub budget in the administration's office that has clearly defined what the expenses are budget so our budget is clue in the pot to farm bar both elected officials sets of elected officials and there's no future legal issue between the two elected officials offices it has been identified by the state that they basically are waiting for a town to push that issue and i do not wish to participate in being the town to decide with official has power over another life i think if we come to a mutual agreement of here's our budget stay with that if we can if there's a problem go to you then i think that's the best case scenario even if i'm not sitting in the seat in the future open discussion and listen to what you have to say and go back and forth so if you are i don't even know if it has to be a decision of the select for most i don't know how planning was broken out clinton was broken out of just decided that i think this is something that if you a back to the property values because sugar houses mostly correct on this year they get new tax bills these folks then the next year for the proxies that we removed a value for that really should have a value placed back on it we will go into those properties return somehow but they were using something as rental or business and through the process of the downloads that we get from the state it makes us make changes in our system and so the only way that we made from we made phone calls trying to contact property owners and say this is what the state has for you we're not aware of rental or business could you correct that if it's wrong not everybody called us back so there's a couple of property owners that said of time you guys have any questions you can e mail us your right we on if there is a certain property on there that you have a question on this is very routine and times do this all the time but i thought it was important for us to present to you some clear understanding of what it was marks working all night i talked to him again today this is just not as we really don't need doc job description for a town manager because the charter states and even though we got it i don't think it hurts to have a name that's why i have an explanation for the monitors have informed me that they prefer to see it that way i don't necessarily agree with it they're trying to explain that the i disagree with that i think if i understand that they're recording only a cool basis but we have a line and says delinquent tax and if we're going to have a line in there we should report it as delinquent taxes collected and in the end the bottom line is going to be the same so i think in this case it is the customers or if you're  so this is my one question now on the consolidated report we're looking at quarter one budget and then we're looking at actual which is excellent because you know now if you're on carrier based on where you are in the fiscal year but then if you look at the budget status i believe we're still looking at the full budget yes ok so what are we putting out to the public just the consolidated report because this could be very confusing if you're putting both of these out which i don't think you need to because everything is really captured in that first document but it would be confusing to look at the budget and first quarter budget well i think i see there's two different tools really  that title should say f o i a thirteen budget so that even not only didn't understand that but it least you're saying it's the full year bu when it goes out in the more recent data you know the you know there are changes or corrections that get made you know that we spend a lot of time to really great truly things that are that are really this one pager now is it looks really doing revenue and expenses not based on anything else new balance sheet or anything right which might be helpful to have a balance sheet as well i would take out i would make everything black i wouldn't put any numbers  only show incumbent funds on your balance sheet if you're if you're looking at a profit and loss you should only be looking at money that's actually done out in money that's actually come in maybe  in red and i'm just saying that it should be a different color can be black and blue but it really shouldn't be read where in the red it can be interpreted was the correct way so this is a public document of this but but i i mean i knew what he was talking about but i just read them and it sounds like us that doesn't doesn't sound like that's what it was present to discuss their budget presented to discuss or presented their budget i think it was present i probably do yes richard did and richard bernstein and they think they've made a lot of progress they showed us financials which looked exactly like what we would be looking for they are they've me made changes in their leadership be made a lot of changes actually in their financial reporting like doing some work on segregation of duties i was really impressed that they have not made any move  would be more than willing to answer them they are in there talking about strategic planning but they haven't really begun that i know that there's there's some documents from the past but this point in terms of budgeting you know are they planning coming to tell meeting as they have passed asked for money or are they seeing the allocations that  that we've got in the budget it's covering their needs for for the first year of a future where where is that headed well i think what they're trying to do is make up for some lost ground with the requests that they've made and i do think that the probably coming and ask for another amount of money i think you know we put stipulations on this and for this year and and not all of them have been met but i am confident that they'll probably get there know they did get one large donation a few years ago and one of their concerns with the fundraising and they didn't want to look at you know how to be a little bit more proactive and fundraise and they had some contrary way with  see non profits putting money back and i think the savvy donor things that that's wise because they don't most of us don't want to support a sinking ship so they have they're now putting more things out issue of a request from the fire company to waive sewer charges related to water charges that were being used to fill leaky firetruck tank the water and sewer commission hers to th conscious attack to not waive those charges with the understanding that the additional costs which are probably in the neighborhood of three hundred dollars to the fire  the reason why the the but the issue is there was water that was being used to fill up the tanks it was going through the meter and the sewer bills are based off of water consumption goes through the meter but the reality is that this water is not actually going into the sewer it's not gone being flushed down the toilet because it's leaking it's going into the storms here it's just going into the grass and the fire department wanted relief from the basically that the difference of what they were having to fill the tank posed well can you put it to the select board because it's it's a charge that's going to go on the it's going to go on the general ledger it's going to it's going to come out of the town down box and they're ok with that basically let it be them let it be the slum court's decision to whether they get a town center here in town center carpeting since we're not doing town center he and we signed a lease this year with the kid in the east for another two years plus another two years in that lease we agreed to replace their carpeting in the first year of the lease which means june thirtieth since our carpeting here is as old as theirs is up there in their do both floors and the name of the company is trying to think of its interface will get to match the wa
