people ride horses there the kids walk home to school we don't have street lights there no reflectors on them you name it um we gave um the garbage companies time to do self compliance because we didn't I didn't want to see uh Property Owners ticket it it wasn't their fault um fortunately they didn't want anything to do with it they wouldn't help us so after about nine months of waiting we uh did a little sweep code enforcement did a sweep took care of all the dumpsters I then met with um a um carac at code enforcement and he came and visited with me to see how we're going to make this stick he decided he's going to visit all the garbage companies and educate the drivers on how and where and why and now this is what happens when there a violation somebody calls it in like me and uh the officer comes out recognizes it calls it the garbage company uh talks to the right person and the pale is moved within a day the citizen the property owner is never even affected and that's a good thing so I thank you all for leading it to that conclusion it's great uh the neighborhood again a Shady Hills it's zoned ar1 we raise animals and do crops if you can imagine yourself with a couple of Acres what would you do with it some of the things I've seen however I wouldn't I wouldn't do with it I've seen uh I've seen Pro Parcels without a single blade of grass soil blackish gray it's it's unfarmable what do we call it non-arable I've seen properties littered with metal doing no good to the environment any any contamination you do to the land your land you could affect our land yes we all live and on and have well water so if you contaminate your land you contaminate my land what I do doesn't come with its share of controversy I've written about a thousand complaints in the past decade it's a big number but in 10 years I I do it just to I do just a few a year few times a year just to be easy on the um Services of past County and not to cause too too much trouble but there's some there there's some serious um negative talk about me online so much so the police department's been notified and a couple of deputies watch all the Shady Hills websites now um if you're looking to do see just how I I respond you should call and talk to the guys at code enforcement I keep in contact with them all the time thank you thank you so much for your time and God bless thank thank you Steve Barber followed by Daryl Henderson Steve Barber uh Landa Lakes Broad River Avenue uh it's a new development right across from conon and uh I don't really know how it works down here in Florida I'm from New Jersey but uh this development was approved I guess with one act ACC or the I guess it would be the northern entrance through callway Boulevard and uh I guess the people with the money own the southern entrance I guess the Bexley and uh it's it's not a major issue but it kind of is because everything you do is south of that development all the

schools uh all the grocery stores shopping and uh callway Boulevard is terrible three 90° turns through swamp um totally flooded out during the hurricane I mean if you're going to touch wetlands and disrupt things why not at least do it the right way maybe build it four foot higher I don't know I don't know why we went down it's kind of goofy but uh the main the main point here is looking for help trying to get the southern gate access open to the public I think I called I think I spoke to miss Jagger and just looking for some help on on that matter um just doesn't make sense you order your uh Star Bucks door Dash your pizza for your kids gets there an hour and 20 minutes later because the driver goes there cu the AI and Google Maps and the iPhone say hey go to the go this way because it makes sense cuz man's thought process and power and money didn't go in into the planning of your route so then they have to go back out the calls way 41's a disaster 23 minutes later an hour total your food gets there it's cold your kids aren't happy for a miserable life just trying to help the the citizens here over at Deerbrook um there only like a 100 houses built now I think 400 are going in somebody's going to have to look at the roads I mean Landa Lakes High School is right out front uh I talked to a lot of the neighbors there and we can't get busing the Landa Lakes High School so the gate is closed we're not supposed to use the South entrance which is makes way more sense Bexley is wider with theia is wider the only way for the kids to walk to school is through cway Boulevard which is white line to white line swamp the swamp there's no sidewalks there's no lighting provided by the yeah that's another thing like if you want a street light you the the citizen has to pay for it or buy it doesn't make sense either I don't know how that works so there's like no way for the kids to get to school to walk to school safely so I'm sure you would want all your kids to walk to school safely not throw a swamp or you know tractors and trailer comes through because they're building the development they get pushed off the road they come home shoes are dirty socks are dirty it's doesn't make sense so just looking for the southern gate to get open the Bexley the hysteria just makes so much more sense for everybody if there's any help I appreciate it all right I see David Engel he'll talk with you about it and David I did get some calls on this in the past month or so so he's not he's not the only one talking about it so we take a look at it appreciate it thank you thank you for your time emails as well and we're looking into it okay thank you thank you for your service I tried to get everybody to call in but we didn't know we had the register by 4:00 so I mean there's other residents that won the call in but yeah it's first time you know trying to be a

commissioner Mariano has done a lot for our community and in and you know in attempting to try and assist with many of the things you've heard today and I do have pictures um because the roads that's why I first came here right was because Shady Hills Road is is it was most likely and I have not researched this in full disclosure but most likely was not um uh put together in a way that could accommodate the massive truck traffic that is that is coming down the road not to mention there are four schools four schools on Shady Hills Road we are bringing in big development which is we understand we're not going to prevent the development from happening however there is aist just it's an incredible need did you pull up the pictures I sent two pictures okay there were two pictures where the kids that are sitting on the easement for their bus stop on the easement we have four schools where parents are required to drop their kids off because within 2 miles we don't have enough bus drivers and we just approved approximately 450 town homes on County Line Road in the two-lane area and so we know based on history that now Shady Hills Road is going to fall lower down on the list of priorities because County Line Road has been an issue for many years we understand that but why do we continue to push forward these projects why don't we say hang on before we go through this before we change the ordinance before we rezone things why don't we hold on we've got homeless camps people getting hit and killed on County Line Road trying to cross the road in the forlane area with traffic lights no traffic lights in that project just to pull over to the side I really really Community a feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing common attitudes interests and goals and I am going to be here I shared that with commissioner Mariano Pasco County is my home and I will continue to be here I will continue to Advocate and I I please I ask you to go and take a look at these things and look into it further please we have um Bernie and Valerie Chilton um followed there's an individual who didn't write their name down so whoever that is okay you'll come up next then after them good morning I'm Bernie Chilton 9731 Sandstone Lane Port Richie thank you I'm Valerie laf France Jon 9731 Sandstone Lane Port Richie Florida thank you very much for taking the time to hear our cry for the children thank you uh commissioner waitman for standing up regarding the disturbing books that are in the public library in Pasco County we have already um seen discussion made by the Commissioners I think it was last month or in January and the Pasco Library director uh Mr Shawn McGarvey has been discussing about installing new rules for children's books I would like to request and I know you've already heard this before but I would like to request that you consider just not having those books available

because number one there are other counties who have done this I have seen based upon uh the article so I don't know how true it is but that you have concerns through your attorneys and through uh staff members by allowing these kind of disturbing materials to be in the children's section I suggest you get other attorneys to talk to other Counties have provided this not being allowed okay I it's crazy about the rule that the library director is trying to in uh instill based upon breaking the age from 8 to n year olds that parents can attend with their children if you feel it's so necessary for these disturbing uh books to be seen or available to parents then I suggest take these books and put them in the adult section of the public library and that parent can take their child to the adult section according to the rules that I've read and let them choose those books if that's what a parent so chooses uh Mr sha McGarvey also said that he he did not want to be uh libraries do not act in local parentis however he has said right above about children nine and older must follow the library's code of conduct or face a potential dis suspension of services who on the staff in the library are going to want to stand up and tell that child or that parent that's my two minute War my one minute left thank you how many staff members even want to face somebody who brings their pet dog into the library not a service animal but a pet dog and say please put your dog outside okay I don't think this is very difficult I think it's important that we pray and ask the Lord for wisdom we have done this before with all of you we have 40 days of prayer going on right now and currently at Oasis Coffee Spot on Wednesday nights we are praying and tonight we are focusing again on all of you I would like to see us pray and expose those who choose to deceive and misuse our PCO children and bless those who truly see that your position in the offices that you hold including the director of Library Services a place to serve and not to worship and and your will may be perfect Lord God that I don't want you to be worshiping your own power and your own desire this is the children now I don't know how much deeper we can get to on the youngest let's save our Innocents in jesus' name thank you very much thank you thank you and then the gentleman thank you you could um set your name and address for the record and then you can begin hi good morning name is Richard lasage 4629 needle Palm Drive like to discuss with you uh the Hurricanes Helena and Mild last year and what we expect in the year 2025 with Florida statute 43291 geoengineering weather modification the purpose of this law is to promote the public safety and Welfare by providing for the regulation and control by interference by artificial means with the natural precipitation of Rain snow hail moisture and water in any form contained in the atmosphere these are artificial means that our weather is being modifi modified over our heads these are not

and locations and Ras the state the State of Florida the Southwest Water Management District and Pasco County have previously declared April typically a drive month when poble water demands are most acute as Florida's water conservation month to encourage citizens to help preserve Florida's precious Water Resources andrz the continued support of April as Florida's water conservation month reinforces conservation messages ordinances and efforts put forth by the Pascal County Board of County Commissioners in its support and encouragement of conservation measures now therefore be it resolved by the board of County commissioners of Pasco County Florida that said board hereby declares the month of April 2025 as water conservation month in Pasco County and calls upon each citizen to help protect this precious shared resource done and resolved in regular session with a quorum present and voting this 25th day of March 2025 second fa say I commissioner Oley yes sir well welcome great thing to talk about is conserving water because everybody think seems to think we're out of water but on the past year Swift about in the past year of Tampa water and I know that we do the very best to protect all our water that is we have a 15 million gallon Reservoir right now that is full of 15 million gallons in our community in Pine Hillsboro and Pasco County we use approximately 200 million or EXC yeah 200 million a day we also can pick up out of the rivers and the water bodies and the bypass canal and all we can pick up 200 million put back in the reservoir every day we use that out it's very well protected and it's very well looked after and all the uh the assurances that you can afford we're looking after to keep that water safe for our fible water and our drinking the problem we do have in in Pasco count is we need more reclaimed water because for every one house that uses reclaimed water it takes four houses so we run short and and some of our citizens have been calling me and telling me about those issues of running short but the fact of it is uh water conservation saves water throughout the year and it's amazing that uh when you go from uh uh putting conservation on you save anywhere from to to 60 million gallons a day just because you're conserving either that one day or that two days of water conservation so uh it's very well looked after in our community in our region and we look for more ways we have more ways on the out in the future to bring us more water as we need it so that that's going to be a very plus but conserving is very important and it's just hard to realize that that they can can conserve 30 million gallons a day just by saying only one time watering a week it's pretty amazing so but you have something to say so uh let me just go to the Commissioners first commissioner waitman yeah I mean it's a huge task to manage you know next to air our most precious commodity and to keep safe Safe Drinking

the services that we do to the community and because of that we've become the premier of Fire Department in the State of Florida so on behalf of fire Administration thank you all very much with that being said what this does is it provides a partnership with Premier Community healthc Care Group with our mobile Integrated Health System so we have some uh individuals who get uh identified as atrisk clients from our fire safety side uh they then go to our mobile Integrated Health side and we send Community paramedics out to those individuals to visit them to find out why they're repeat clients and why they're becoming such a strain on our on our system and then those integrated um paramedics they they recognize things like maybe there's a failure to thrive maybe they need some uh drug rehabilitation or other things and what this partnership does is going to allow us one more tool for referrals will all also allow their clinicians to ride out there with our mobile integrated Healthcare paramedics and to actually do some onsite visit and they can see for themselves what it is that these individuals need so this is one more tool in the toolbx help us to create less of a strain on our emergency system and uh it's going to be a great benefit for the citizens of Pasco County thank you and Premier has done a great job with us in the county helping those that are underserved and and I'm hopeful that maybe some of this even gives them some Revenue as well to kind of help them as they run their operation kind to offset some of the stuff they do for nothing yes sir okay well I greatly appreciate you guys thinking about this digging through and and ser in our community better appreciate all your service yes sir thank you thank you all in favor say I I I okay now we go to the regular agenda and R 31 found it all right hi Amy Ferell budget director with Pasco County's Office of Management and budget I'm here with r31 or m2500 33 Revenue projections discussion all right so we're going to lead in with some data and metrics that help us predict taxable assess values we're going to talk about other major revenues that live within our general fund then we're going to talk about some key expense drivers that are applying some pressure um to our general fund and our other funds overall um then we'll pivot to some other major revenues outside of our general fund and then wrap up with the discussion of the budget cycle where we've been and what's left to cover all right so the first bit of data that we're going to look at is our new home permits and so we're looking at how they're performing this for us this is a leading indicator that gives us about a 2-year Outlook into what we think taxable assess values might start to look like so what we're kind of keeping an eye on right now is fourth quarter fiscal year 24 and first quarter fiscal year 25 where we're seeing a slight drop

we're not sure yet if this is attributed to all of the hurricane type stuff that's been happening in this County so we're keeping an eye uh because that could potentially impact us about two years out all right so the other piece of our total taxable assess value when we're looking at the new construction bit is also commercial so this shows us the last 25 years of commercial plus residential new construction and the es and flows that we've experience so this is pretty cyclical and this leads us to believe that at some point we're going to start leveling off from new construction as well all right so new construction is one piece of the taxable assessed value Pi the other piece of that Pi is reevaluations and so what you see here is the totality of new Construction Plus revaluations going back as far as 1997 now it's important to note that when we look at fiscal year 23 through 25 we've been experiencing double digigit growth in our taxable assessed values and the biggest attributor to that is the revaluation piece of the p and there's three things and three drivers that really make up those revaluations um and what we've experienced over these past couple years so one of the biggest things is we've had some Northern migration where there's been home sales that will re-trigger that that value of that home without any Florida homestead portability right so they they didn't have any save or homes or Homestead portability and so we've seen a big trigger in what those assessed values are the second fit is just market conditions right so market conditions will also dictate what those assessed values come out at and then for recent builds year one the assess values off a parcel and then year two it's Parcel Plus building or Parcel Plus home and so what we're seeing with those three big drivers in the reevaluations is our Market conditioning is starting to correct itself so those values of those existing homes are starting to come down a bit we're also seeing less migration from the north um and so all of that leads us to these doubl digigit growth numbers we've been experiencing these past three and four years we're not expecting that high of a number coming into this next budget cycle so what are you expecting Amy you might be thinking well so so there's a lot of uncertainty on how it's going to shake out so what my office is doing is we're modeling three different scenarios that we're pushing through our financial models to help us plan as we build our budget to bring back to you in June once we do have preliminary assessment value so we're running a model at 5% 7% and 9% growth and then you'll see at each of those intervals what the sheriff's 40% allocation looks like um our expected payments to Tiff cras all of those things and then what's left for um to handle our growth and uh you know other expense pressures within the general fund all right so that's the taxable

assess value piece of the general fund Pi there's some other major revenues that live in the general fund that help us operate but before we go there we're going to talk a little bit about our regional inflation localized inflation because that does correlate very greatly to the next bit of revenues that we're going to talk about and so you can see since 2022 there is a cooling off of that inflation with just a small uptick in uh first quarter of 202 uh fiscal year 2025 and so as we look at our half cent sales tax revenue and our other tax revenue they're following kind of a similar pattern so half cent sales tax to put this into perspective this is about 10% of our recurring Revenue within our general fund over the last 40 years we've seen a 6% average growth in this Revenue stream and we're predicting right now A 3% increase so we're still expecting an increase it's just not as high as the increase we've gotten used to seeing from from this Revenue stream all right the next one is County revenue sharing so the 11-year average for this one has been a 9% increase we're actually predicting just this this one to Flatline right now part of the issue with predicting this one is the way this gets distributed from the state is equal monthly increments and then at the very end of the state fiscal year June July we get what we call a true up which that then gives okay here's what our total annual revenue amount is well June and July hasn't come yet so it's un so we're un unsure yet of how 25 is going to shake out but we did experience a slight drop from fiscal year 23 to 24 so we're just maintaining a steady projection at this point and we'll continue to Monitor and see how this shakes out all right our ambulance fees that's another major Revenue in um in our general fund and this one we're projecting in about a 72% increase which is fairly in line with our 11-year average um growth here which is roughly 9% and the last Revenue that we're going to talk about in the general fund is our communication service tax if we look at our 10-year average here this overall is a declining Revenue even though we are projecting a slight increase of 2.2% over the next fiscal year all right so that's our Revenue Vue so now let's talk about some of the expense pressure that we're seeing in the general fund and just across all of our budgets in general So within the general fund we've got some key Public Safety expenses uh Detention Center expansion we've been uh slow stepping into a staffing model so that way we can run the expansion once that construction's completed and fiscal year 26 will be the first full year of our dshift expenses we've also had a step into that Staffing model to plan that we've been working alongside with fire rescue so that way um they were able to staff all of those shifts at all of their stations and fiscal year 26 will be the first full year of uh fully burdened expenses um constitutional budget increases we are estimating some

increase but we will get more line of site next month when we have our second annual uh budget workshop with our constitutional officers and the chief judge um Personnel uh that always has some kind of an increase we're watching the retirement Bill very closely that that goes through the legislative session to see how that might impact us when when that shakes out um General inflation on our operating budgets and our capital projects so one of the the big things we've noticed is the cost of materials and supplies went up during you know the covid pandemic it really hasn't come down so while inflation might be cooling the cost of stuff is still up and so that's applying some pressure on our budgets and then just general government growth trying to keep Pace with our demand trans for service all right so Amy what does that all mean okay so here's what that all means if I could bring that down to three uh kind of specific points here's what we're looking at we're entering this budget season very conservatively our revenues are looking a bit challenging for us um we have some Public Safety must pay expenses that we've built into our model to make sure that we can afford those and we're looking at a limited ability to increase or expand Services going into the next fiscal year so we're going to be running um very lean very lean budget all right so now if we pivot outside of the general fund let's look at our local option fuel taxes so the blue bar is our first local option fuel tax and this funds roughly 27% of our Public Works um Ops and maintenance budget and this one we're predicting a 2.8% increase the other bar or yellow bars that's our second local option fuel fuel tax this one funds part of our transportation Capital program and this one we're estimating about a 4% increase all right so the last Revenue that we're going to look at today is our penny for Pasco so our 14year average on this one is roughly a 6.3% increase and we are projecting um 26 is revenue to be right in line with a 6.2% increase um the neat thing about this one it's reflect of pasco's local government the revenue that gets collected here comes right back to Pasco so as you can see um our localized economy continues to be strong all right so where have we been and where are we going so in January we workshopped with you all and we got your priorities for the upcoming budget cycle um internally we kicked off and all of our department heads went to work on building their budgets uh typically in February we have this conversation but we pushed about a little bit because we needed to have some really good dialogue around mstu and our approach to that and so now we're back here in March talking about our major revenues next month as we just discussed we'll be meeting with our constitutional officers and the chief judge and we'll we'll have a workshop to talk about their budget priorities in the upcoming year and then in June we're going to come back and we'll Workshop again once we have preliminary taxable assessed values July

we come back with final taxable assessed values you all will vote to set the ceiling on our millage rates and then in September we'll come back for two public hearings where we'll adopt our final millage rates and our overall budget Amy if you could stand the slide just for a second yep I think when we do the um 101 briefings coming up y um I think we really need to focus on what the jail and the dshift those are two things that our citizens really wanted to see and I know the jail since we took it over it's a lot more than 10% of what the uh allocation was but we need to really dive into see how how much that's costing us especially with the expansion coming up and again that dshift that benefit has been phenomenal I know we get some breaks with the overtime that we save but uh still there's going to be some extra expense I think as we go through to kind of really dive into what we're doing there um I know we're going to look at the mstu funds so I think as far as we look at parks I think that's going to be a big thing and also the paving Assessment program I think is working real good but I want to make see how far along we are I know I've had several road projects that I've had citizen complain about the roads aren't done and I find out not in the three-year plan so uh I know we put some extra money into it last year um and I want to see where we are as far as what the projections are because I think if we're putting that Ms to you out there for the transportation but we're not getting enough roads done then uh we're kind of putting ourselves in a bad spot absolutely thank you all right I took all those notes anybody else all right well with that thank you any questions for Amy ain't tough Amy and T I told her I don't envy you at all am no thank you appreciate all your research thanks okay now we'll proceed to miscellaneous business um commiss Oley I think you have a picture there to bring up is Booka groundbreaking ceremony happened this past week and uh really uh exciting to see that new business coming in uh bringing in 600 new jobs in the zhr Hills area right near the airport it's going to be a a great place for having a company of that nature and it's right on the U you might say B pass with Chad so there's a lot of Direction they can go with Trucking and things of that nature to help them out in their business so um they use a lot of different products so there would be trucking companies and others receiving revenues so the economy boost would be very good in the marketplace for for this business acting here in in Brazil yes oh it was oh is that better well I'll start over again so but yeah this new business um they've actually U they're coming in there on uh right on chy road right by

the end of the airport on the north side of the airport and it's really great that they will come bring that they've been in the United States for over 20 years and they're bringing their this is a major undertaking for them to uh and they're going to service out of this all of United States and abroad at the same time so they've got a lot of cookies are going to be making and and sending out all over the world so they use a lot of byproducts or liquid foods and things of that nature that that work in making cookies so but the idea that we have 600 new jobs coming into that Community uh means a lot for East Pasco County and and and the City of zeper Hills because uh people are are needing good jobs so uh it it' be well well done they actually already have expansion in that building uh in certain times and they will continue and have space and more and they've actually bought uh some other property just to the south of of the property they have now to start on so it's going to be a uh a very good business in in East Pasco County um then there was uh let's see see one the items ahead I had that and then I went to a u it's kind of amazing I went to a charging of a new pastor in St Paul's uh Missionary Baptist Church in Dade City that church had been in Dade City for 129 years just think about that's that's before before I even got there so just a little so but the fact of it is uh they charge a new pastor coming in the new pastor's name is uh Dr Reverend Jesse David Washington Jr so there's a a tongue full to call that so uh sitting there in the ceremony on Sunday afternoon and and listen to everything that was going on and his sister was sitting near me and said hey I I went to school with your son Ronnie I said oh this comes close to home when you when you meet people later in years and they're in their uh early to mid 50s and they they went to school with my own some of my own children so it's pretty nice and it's uh he's basically still a young man but quite a service going on in that church that day so I I tell you God's presence was there so with that that's all I have okay M waitman thank you uh only thing I have today just like last year um like asked the board to support the National Crime Victims rights week uh for the weeks of April 6 through 12th and to light up uh the West Pasco Government Center in the east in the historic Courthouse purple in honor of um recognizing National Crime Victims week so I guess I would make a motion for that to happen what is this this last last year we lit up uh the east and west side government oh yeah we did to the buildings so we have to take a vote on on that to do it again so just doing it a week ahead of schedule that way it can be lit up the week of April 6 through 12th okay so we have a motion motion second all in favor say I I I any opposed thank you board okay that's all yet yes sir okay commissioner jger okay can I have my picture

there a will to go forward to have prayer done other than the way we've been doing it I'm for being redone I think I think the administrator was going to bring back a a proposal at the next meeting at the next meeting there was a full board I think the reason it didn't come back okay today because you only had five or four okay good wasn't sure where it was but just being a brought up I wanted to move it forward because I thought there was support for it so very good and do we have pictures of the uh fire station Ribbit cutting commissioner jger and I both attended that it was it was a little chilly that day a little bit a little bit chilly at this point here the doors were close so was a little bit more tolerable but uh I tell you it was a great turnout if you ever get a chance to go see a fire station this would be one I recommend you go see theyve taken all the things from the Hudson volunteer fire department the first one in Pasco County which helped grow around the county and they took so many memorabilia uh pictures uh things that were out there and just put them into the display uh JJ phenomenal phenomenal group putting everything together I mean what you guys did brought this whole Community out there I mean that's the biggest ribbon cutting I've seen uh for for any station and almost almost everything I've done even from Park openings Etc uh the families were super appreciative some of those oldtime firefighters there's one right there uh were all out there having a good time uh celebrating what was going on and I think um you know this commission should be very very proud of between this station and all that we've done for all the all the all the uh protection of our citizens every step of the way um so it's just like it was like I said just a great day this is the fire station we actually did some brick lay which they had to fix my brick but I think the rest were pretty good shape but uh all in all just just a great day and um I just want to give one thought as we look at things with Development coming in um you heard Pastor Jen talking about Shady Hills and the road and all the development Cony Line Road riper construction has been great helping us with the running the taking care of the utility issue down there we still have some issues going in and around U that was a nice little stoplight sign that was that was put in U we have more requests for those later as well they were very very well received okay so so back to development uh as we look I I want to I don't want to see development let's say not going forward but I want to make sure that we work real Clos with these developers best we can even if they don't have to do something but to us to take a look at how's this going to affect everybody around it um between Development coming in um helping with the transportation and I'm going to tell you in my area we've got a couple

developments coming in that it's going to be really looking at um what's going to go on in that area and I know we have a general area how we fund everything and Nick Ur will be talking about it later on and then talk with him about it but for the simple formula that he's got how he wants to set these roads up where they're going to come in I'm going to tell you I think we need to maybe modify how we actually look at things because if you got some developments that could be good for the community but it's not going to cover all the way I think as we did up at the Denton project in Hudson that didn't come forward but allocating resources to fix issues that are going to be coming up for the health and safety of our citizens I think it's just something that we need to just take a close look as as we go forward for these things coming up and that's all I have we break for 1:30 for the afternoon public hearings thank you all right [Music]
