and back set-aside and got the DMV cafeteria, we… The Commission went back through and my $2500 and some amount turned into $312. I did not take the extra time to try and figure out if that was right or wrong. I actually couldn’t have written the check fast enough. And I want to say that it’s all cleared up, whatever it was, and I’m very grateful it wasn’t $2500. Hauth: Well, you know what? We… We are, too. And, Char, thank you for sharing that and… Hawkins: You’re welcome. Hauth: …you know, maybe over the last few years there’s been a lot of finger pointing back and forth at different people, but hopefully we’re at a point now where we’re all working together in support of each other. And, even though we may not always agree, let’s support each other, you know, and not… not… not pick on each other. So, I’m glad… I’m glad… I’m glad you shared that with us. So. Hawkins: Yeah, thank you. Hauth: Yep. You’re welcome. Jackson: Um… Hauth: Yes, go ahead. Jackson: Steve Jackson. Could I…? Hauth: Yeah, Steve. Jackson: Is that okay? Is it someone else’s turn? Hauth: No, go ahead. Jackson: I just wanted to make a quick comment. I’m… I’m struggling making my payments, my set-aside payments and I’m… I’m making back payments on top of it. And I would just like Eric to consider attaching more vending to not only my route but the other managers that’ve asked for financial assistance. I’m gonna do my best to, you know, watch the machines and give refunds. I’ll do whatever it takes. I just… I need more work. So, that… that’s really what I want to say is, please give me more work. Hauth: Thank you, Steve. Any other public comment? Jaynes: Chairman Hauth, this is Lin Jaynes. Hauth: Hi, Lin. Thanks for joining. Jaynes: I’m sorry I’m late. Hauth: No, thank you for joining.
Hauth: …that wouldn’t be a problem, right? Morris: I just want to make sure I don’t have one manager staying at the Ritz-Carlton and everybody else that’s going to the conference is staying at the Holiday Inn. ‘Cause, you know, that’s not… that doesn’t make any sense. Hauth: Sure. And how, hey, Eric, how does… if Jerry wanted to stay at a different hotel, how would he find that government rate? He can just call up and ask them? Morris: Yeah, you can do that. Hauth: …my understanding? Morris: And also, the feds, the federal government posts a… it’s a government travel… I have to find the link to it. But it basically, it’ll tell you what the government rate is, the allowable rate for each state and depending on the time of year, that we use as a guide for all of our travel. So if we go to San Diego or Vegas or, like, a bunch of people are back in Bethesda right now, you’d look it up and you can see exactly what the rate, allowable rate is for government travel. And the hotels know that too. Hauth: Okay, thank you. Hey, speaking of Bethesda, I talked to my good friend John Gordon. Is anybody from the state agency back at NCSAB? Morris: CSAVR? Hauth: NCSAB? Morris: I… Dacia’s back there. I’m not sure… I thought she was at the CSAVR conference, which a lot of… Hauth: Yeah, maybe that… maybe that NCSAB hasn’t started yet. I don’t know exactly the date. But he contacted me a couple days ago and asked me if anybody from the state was going and I wasn’t sure. So. Morris: Yeah, Dacia’s back there. Hauth: Okay. So representative… number c… Is there anything else, Jerry, that you wanted to follow up on? Or anybody else, before we move on? Bird: No, thanks. Hauth: Okay… StevensonA: Chair Hauth? Hauth: …number c. Yes, Eric… Art?
