City Commission - Regular Meeting

might want

that's where that gets confusing, you know, they do stuff if they work in the water department. They're helping the guys. Whether it's locates, whether it's water shut offs, whether it's we don't put so you know that tonight since there's only three of us here it has to be unanimous vote for anything. Yeah, I do. Did you talk to

Did you talk to Chris about He's going to ask us about [snorts]

Yeah. because of that. Yeah. You wanted to take out the summer wreck assistance. Both of them. Just put them in just so it can be discussion. So that's not that won't happen tonight. Yes, it will happen. [clears throat]

I mean, I don't care if you just reason Okay, I will call the meeting to order.

I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Are there any additions or corrections to the consent calendar? I would like to make a motion to move um D and E from the consent calendar to new business. Second move four and five.

Um is that part of the consent calendar or should I just also also make a motion to move to adjust the agenda to flip four and five? And do you second that? Second. You want to call roll? Commissioners Garver. Hi. Carlson. Hi. Mayor Lstrom. Hi. Okay. Um, since we switched four and five, are there any visitors to be heard tonight? I'd like to address the commission.

Sure, if I may. Craig Winquist. Um, we own Gateway Plex on East Fifth Street over here. I'm here to address tonight a possible oversight or maybe a lack of action on a current resolution number 1283. Kind of bring it to the attention to the to the commission. This out outlines a discretionary tax formula that the city adopted on November 25th of 2020. This resolution allowed for 5-year tax reduction for newly constructed or multi-resident structures in Canton. This resolution also included tax reductions on other types of construction as well. My wife and I owned the former Gateway Motel that was destroyed in Duratio in 2022. We began the process of building and planning the build on the apartment as soon as the insurance was settled. We approached the commission and the planning and zoning group in September of 2023 and again in November and were approved to build. Plans were drawn and construction began in the in the spring. Now, the idea of the tax reduction played into our cash flow for the units as the way the insurance companies has changed their deductibles. It used to be a flat fee. For example, the motel was $1,500 and uh today it is 3% of the total cost of the uh of the apartment complex that's there. So, when we were looking at building, this resolution played a huge part in our cash flow and being able to change uh our gear from the flat fee to where we're at today. That being said, my wife and I uh Carrie, who cannot be with us tonight because she's helping with the academic award up there at the school, she serves on the K12 Foundation. Um she contacted David Erdman on February uh 20th of 2024. David referred her to this resolution

um that the city has on file and that stated that the tax resolution formula was set up and signed by the commission with the understanding that we were in good resolution or we were in good standing with the resolution. We began the construction. Now fast forward to present time on January 26 was less than about a week and a half ago. We received the first tax bill for the apartment building. It is currently well up until today, we have one room now available, but it was full. And up uh on January 26, we received that first tax bill and it was in full without any uh deduction at all. And so I called on J on Tuesday, January 27th, I called Tiffany at the city hall to see what was needed on our end to get the resolution into effect so that we might indeed follow what was written in 1283. Couple days went by and last Friday Tiffany emailed as a response uh from Carla and u go is it go? Is that how you say goen?

Gusen. Okay. Carla that showed an email that thread that dated September 13th, 2023 that had been sent to Canton which is Kyle and Harrisburg of Deb Harris alerting to them to a fact that the South Dakota codified law had been changed. So between our construction and this had been changed and that all those cities needed to make changes in their city resolutions and that is why we had been denied that resolution from the county. So fast forward, I'm coming before you tonight to alert you of the issue of 1283 and also to ask your help in correcting the city resolution to make it if possible retroactive so that we might indeed be able to to utilize that in our in our cash flow plan for this apartment complex. I do plan to be placed on the agenda for the further discussion at the next regularly scheduled meeting, but I just wanted to bring this to your attention tonight. And time is of the essence for this because of March there's a deadline to appeal the local board by March 12th. So if uh if I need to start the appeal process with the county, I need to get get going on that by the 12th. So thank you.

Thank you.

We need to look into that quick. Okay. Thanks. Sarah had to do some checking already. What? Sarah has done some checking on that already. I've already done a lot of footwork on it. Okay. Good. Good. I appreciate that. Thank you. Good. Okay. Um so now we're going to call an executive session um for um codified law 125-2 for personnel issue and then we will come back. Oh yeah, I need a motion. Motion. Second. Second. Roll. Commissioners Carlson.

I gar before you all run away. Guys, normally I have to end the live stream. I can't pause it. Do we want to go upstairs or go into the kitchen? We can move. Yeah, we can go in the kitchen. That way in that bathroom. Yeah, we'll go upstairs. Yeah.

It don't matter how big it is.

[laughter]

She's most of her family. I live so I live on. Oh, you do? Yeah. [laughter]

So, I'm writing super Sober homem this fall. I mean this spring start. to have homes wait the first homes. So they're going to do so they'll be doing the build and that

well we ended up selling the land. So we still have some interest it's not like it was before when we were still on the board. So it's for the most part yeah for the most part it's it's their project to make either make it successful or so which I like because he's a very experienced developer.

Well, he did that he did that last years ago. There's a lot of there, but he's all over. He's had success all over the place. But he specializes in these small town. So we end up getting a grant in 20% of the work overall project. There's a lot of ground that happened a year ago, you know, a year ago December, January.

Yeah. I don't know that happened and we made the change. Um we just something we had to do. So I know a lot of people nervous and all that unfortunately there's not a whole lot but we can shout from the rooftops now. They're going to be out. Actually remember how aggressive they thought we were before we got it was 83 single family and 200 multif family don't think apartments think twin homes town homes and all that our developer said your numbers are told our numbers are right and I'm like I felt indicated after 113 Yeah, you're talking. [clears throat]

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's he moves and shakes, you know, times money with those tips, too. for like 20 years ago. The way they work it does not takes the mind off the face. So even Yes.

PSA. It's a peroc cost shut We did our best.

We needed Yeah. [laughter] did one infrastructure million water [laughter] goes. I couldn't do it cheaper

and they know he owns the company.

But it just feels has interesting coffee.

Well, they agreed to really has to be in my pockets. I was going to say that's why that name is people out there said no. So that's the difference between small town as much as housing for that but also essentially has to We talked about this twotory homes living acoustic.

forecast houses in exception, you know. way up that sweet spot or even even tier up.

Well, it used to be used almost. where we came from.

Yeah. interest he gets after it. So he wasn't as busy as he was back in the 22 rates were like% of the top 10 producers of the state got over got over 10 years now. So I got I got to get my 20. I love it. National [clears throat] Yeah. Yeah.

[clears throat] kind of reverse.

What's that? You know what I mean? Not me, right? [laughter]

You know what I'm saying? See how much you do. You know, that's how that's how they make announcements. No, don't let me [laughter] just do that. Come this clarification what order I'm confused and Why?

That's the part that I'm confused on what we've been discussing like how what exactly that motion was. I'm not sure if clarification to new business summer and summer but then switched four and five for the part that I Just want clarification because there was only one motion. So I wasn't sure How are you tonight? Holy

I'm good. How are you? Good. Have you been on vacation? What's that? Are you on vacation? I feel like I didn't see you. been a lot. We were a weekend ago for a few days for a free day, but I haven't been around for a while. So, I mean, I haven't seen a [snorts] You know, vacation would be nice. Right now it's closing, but I think we're going to get a warm.

I know. Next week is supposed to be like in the 30s and 40s. I know Brian and I leave for vacation next week and I'm like, of course it's going to be warm when we're gone. You guys cool. You're coming next week. Yeah. One of the X-rays that I work with at the hospital, their family is leaving. Oh, really? Yeah. Looking forward to it. Just a break. You know, sometimes I feel like this time of year comes early.

When my wife moved up from Oklahoma, I'm like, you take your vacations up here in January, February, and March. I said, I mean, the summer you want to be around. Awesome. Yeah.

[snorts] [clears throat]

This is a little bit different. I looked at the time just to make sure I'm like, well, daylight savings. Why? Why? this exact opposition.

Yeah. on Thursday. Oh, I don't know. I got jury trial. I'll meet your homework. I'm

just kidding. She jury trial the uh I don't think I'm gonna be super involved. Yeah. You have to be there. Yeah. And I'm kind of curious how it's going to end. Yeah.

I mean, it'll be probably I think you're just going to turn [laughter] away. Okay. A motion to come out of Big Facers. Okay.

Commissioners Garbers. Hi. Carlson. Hi. Mayor Lro. Hi. Okay. Um now move on to old business. Do we have anything on the A and B um situations? They're still on here. Um so we got they they made the change. They they ate the second mobilization. Who did? Uh oh, I'm sorry. First rate. I got ahead of myself. Yeah. No, A. Yeah. First rate ate the ate the second mobilization. So there's really nothing for us to do on A if they because A that's that didn't change because that's just accepting the infrastructure. So we don't and we were okay with B because we waiting on A, right?

Yeah. That's the only reason we delayed B, right? But we need to approve A. Yeah. So I would make a motion to approve A with that change of denying the mobilization charge. That's already out. So second roll. Commissioners Carlson. Hi. Garbers. Hi. Mayor Lro. Hi. And B. Motion. Second. Call. Commissioners Garbers. Hi. Carlson. Hi. Mayor Lstro. Hi. Okay, the scoreboards at West Ball. I talked to Darren at length today. He apologized. He was not going to be able to make it to the meeting tonight and asked us if we could table for his availability in the future.

Second. Commissioners Carlson. Hi. Garver. Hi. Lro. Hi. Okay. On to new business. Um the Beaver Creek. Do we want to start with new business with the advertising for the summer help? Oh yeah. for the summer help. Move that. Move that off the agenda. Okay. The first one is to advertise for the summer help. Um it's recommended to advertise for five summer help positions in the public works department for 2026.

I think the question just was um public works department. Is it actually the public works department or is it the parks department? And then um then also just clarification of what these five folks will be doing and if it I think there was a question on they were doing dangerous jobs and also if it was necessary to have five.

I did get a call today and it was about a bunch of things. So I guess I'll just bring it up in this one. This person is wellestablished citizen of Ken and not quote for quote but this pretty much what he said is back when I was involved in in the commission. We had three people in the office and we did things paperly. Now we have five. That's about all he said about the office. He went to the police department and he says, "Police department did this and now we have somebody hired to do code enforcement." So we backed down on the police force. Went to the street, went to the public works and we adjusted that a little bit. We used to have six people did street and water. We went to seven. We went back down to six. And then we hired two people for parks. And yes, the parks look a lot better. But he says, "We hired five people to do that and now we've hired out the striping of the roads and that used to take a week to 10 days to two weeks. When are we going to quit hiring for extra hiring for help?" Pretty much what he said. So I that's I'm bringing that because we got some other things that we have to adjust to. So that's what was said in the conversation I had with him.

I mean, the painting is only Fifth Street. I mean, we'll still have We still do all the parking stalls, parking lots, um, the neighborhoods, all the other off Dakota Street. Yeah. Yeah. There's still quite a bit. I mean, that is still something that still happens. Yeah. And they they do spend an inordinate amount of time mostly in the parks mode because it's I mean

I do I mean I know we're live and I guess it's the way it is if anybody else is driving around I believe it was Friday morning might have been Thursday morning but when I went to work at quarter to 8 is not open. We do got to be mindful of where our money that we spend comes from. I hope we don't lose cases, but we all know they're struggling kind of like the Dollar General was struggling year or two ago. We know what we got in legislation might be coming. Yeah,

we're sitting at a 3.7% increase on sales tax that can get up pretty fast. That's all I'm going to say about it. So, this Are we at the summer health? Do we have to use five or what are we doing here? Um I think we keep five bidding. We really genuinely do. I think if we were having if sales tax say through June is down or not up like traditionally I think we could still call on Audible and not continue to employ all of them throughout the summer if or or the legislature once we know what they've done just especially because of their part-time status we we could cut ties or seasonal we could cut ties with them pretty easily if if our budget isn't looking good either because of the economy or the legislature. Um, but yeah, I really do think we can keep five of them busy.

It's feast or famine here and it's right. It's feast all summer long. There's there's Well, we don't know if it's going to rain either tomorrow and but yeah, I mean, I'm a conservative person, too. What are we doing with these people when it rains? Do we have ability? You don't have to come to work today because it's raining. They get sent home when it's hot. Yeah. Because they don't work 40 hours, do they? No. Well, most of the time they do. They do. Because they're also covering the weekend shifts for plant watering. Um I think we plan on taking a more conservative approach towards plant watering this year.

They also check the parks when we have big events. They're the ones that go and clean the parks, make sure they're good. Yeah. Thanks, Sarah, too. I mean, I don't think it's a big deal what department is paying these people, but I don't know that public works is the department that it should be all be coming from. No, it's it's we call it public works because at a time public works encompassed everything. Streets, uh, parks, water, sewer. It was just the umbrella. So, they get split up. Usually there's one or two in water and then probably one in water, two in parks, and one in street. and somebody kind of floats around a little bit, but for the most part, yeah, they're split up amongst the departments of the shop. Do they stay in those spots? No.

No. Say no. Not not sometimes, but most of the time if if there's a call because the parks need to be mow because it's been raining, it's all hands on deck. Sometimes, even including the guys at the shop, will be out mowing. I'd make a motion to hire up to five. I'll second that. Okay. Commissioner Scarver. Hi. Carlson. Hi. Mayor Lston. Hi.

And the next one was um for advertising for the summer recreation assistance. Um, we've had four summer recence positions and this would be for just the season and I don't believe they work 20 40 hours a week just for what we always do or we up or down. I had no idea we had four what what does a summer wreck assistant

do? I'll tell you from my firsthand father experience that so because my both my boys did summer wreck last year and I wasn't really sure what to expect of it but um they roughly the 120ome kids are broken into two different groups based on age and um Ryan Kohler who's now full-time with us is the also he he was part-time with us before as the director of of summer wreck now he still wears that hat in the summer months all year round because he's dealing with registration and stuff. So, he he's kind of the mastermind and and director out there, but then the the other summer wreck assistants help keep the the ratio of adults to children within check and hurting cats to

and that's just during that reg that summer rec program. Yeah. Yep. Like what, two months or something? Two months. Yeah. The program typically starts in June and ends at the end of July and then there's a week off when the 4th of July is. Okay. And yeah, it's are they done by one? Uh, yeah, like noon. Yep. So, by the time they clean up all the sports activities, [snorts] so it's just a morning gig. Um, a couple of them are also employed as lifeguards, too. So, they they do, but that that portion of that job is just a morning gig. Yeah, like I said, it just keeps our ratio of adults to children in check. I know it got brought up last year. I'm just asking

[snorts] If school's doing sanctioned softball or baseball or whatever, I know it got brought up who was talking and they had games on weekends. Is this covered with this? It's not. No, these the Who's taking care of that then? That'll be something that Ryan and Jason in parks will work out with the school. So Ryan and Jason are in charge of it. Yeah. Well, I don't know if they're taking charge, but they'll coordinate with the school to see who's taking charge. Yes. As a commissioner, I don't want to hear that. We're not going to. You want to know a plan? Okay. I'll make a motion to approve. Second. [snorts] Good roll. Commissioner Scor. Hi. Garbers. Hi.

Mayor Lstrom. Hi.

Okay. Um the next one is the Beaver Creek Trunk Sewer Project pay app number 12 and it is the final. Um my submitted a pay app and it is the final contractor pay request for the project. It includes um the CCO number three items as discussed above and the great majority of this pay request is retainage from the prior pay requests. Um, pay request is also included in deduction of $33,000 from the payment due to liquid liquidated damages. And the total amount due is $238,98759. Um, it's due to various damages at the main lift station and Myron recommended not making the final payment until payment has been received from first rate for the damages. that has been changed. Uh first rate has submitted to their insurance company. Their insurance company has confirmed I signed the release um today. So we will be getting a check from their insurance company.

Okay. Do we hold this off until we get it? We just need to approve it. We can it's going to wait another week anyhow because it's not on this week's pay. So at soonest it would be done would be next week. So, we can make a motion to accept this and hang on to the check until damages are received if that's what you prefer. Yep. To not have the mayor sign until it's a done deal that we have check in hand. Yeah. Are these totals correct with what? Yes. Okay. Yeah. These were updated to reflect that. I'd make a motion to approve it as long as um we get check in hand before the mayor signs. Move forward.

Okay. Second call roll. [cough] Yes. Commissioners Garbers. Hi. Carlson. Hi. Mayor Lstrom. Hi. Um, next on the agenda is a full-time police officer. It's recommended to hire Sebastian Bastida in the full-time police officer position at grade 12 step one. It's 2909 per hour and he will have a six-month probationary period and may be eligible for step increase at that time. Motion is motion a second is required. Make a motion to approve. Second. Have a motion and second call roll. Commissioners Carlson. Hi. Barbers. Hi. Mayor Lstrom. Hi.

Um, next one is another new hire for full-time police officer. It's recommended to hire Nash Linger. Linger Linger. Um, as a full-time police officer, [snorts] position grade 12 step two. That's 29.85 per hour. and he will have a six-month probationary period and he may be eligible for a step increase at that time. Make a motion to approve. Motion in a second. Call roll. Commissioners Garver. Hi. Carlson. Hi. Mayor Lstrom. Hi.

Okay. Next is the 2026 bridge inspection resolution. Um the US Federal Highway Administration requires a reinspection of bridges every two years. Um the South Dakota DOT has an engineering firm under retainer that will inspect the bridge street bridge. Um the city is used has used you Altig engineers for inspection in the past. The city cost is 20% of the cost of the inspection. God seems like it comes up every year. Motion [clears throat] second motion and second call. Commissioner Scarlson I Garver I

Marilyn Stro I next is loader bids. The city advertised for bids for a new loader and opened the three bids received on January 21st. It's recommended to award the bid to RDO. The bid was to purchase the new loader for $282,000 and trade in our current loader for $194,000 for a net bid of $88,000. Now, when we make this motion, I also want you to authorize the mayor sign the purchase order because the purchase order is what kicks off them getting the loader ordered. And I think they're 6 weeks outish before a new one will show up.

I do got a what triggered looking for a that was set in motion before me, Kyle. We have been um about every five years uh rotating the loader out about or is it five years or about five years? Uh we held one for seven years and it cost us a lot of money. So we started pushing them out at five years. Um we've been getting extraordinarily good trade in on them. As you can see 194,000 we gave 204,000 for that loader when we bought it.

So we've been pushing them out at five years. We've been getting good trade in. We have a loader that's usually under warranty that it's not going to give us any fits. Most of everything we do within the city, whether it's snow removal, whether it's water manes, whether it's rubble sight, we use that piece of equipment. It's one thing that if it breaks down, most of our operations are kind of done. So, we keep it out, keep it moving so we can have a newer machine that's not going to have a breakdown issue. Do we have the map? You don't know. Do we have to modify that thing to hit fitter snow stuff?

No, it's it's modified um in the bid specs. Uh I require um that whichever manufacturer it is, whether it's John Deere, CAT or Case, that they are required to have a hookup to Balderson, which is an old John, which is an old CAT hookup, but that's what all of our equipment runs on. Our snow bucket, our loader or clam shell, the grapple, that's all Balderson. So that front attachment is required to be approved alers. Motion sign. Pardon me. Motion for you to sign. A motion in a second. Yeah. Oh, we have a motion and a second in here. Okay.

One quick thing before I do that. A few years ago, Paul, I had actually looked at uh leasing one and it was cheaper for us to buy it and trade it than it was to lease. [snorts] Commissioners Garbers. Hi, Carlson. Hi, Mayor Lstrom. Hi.

Next is the approval of liquor and wine operator operating agreements. Um, city of Canton is required to renew our operating agreements with liquor and wine operators on an annual basis. The agreements have been revised from last year and this will require motion and second. The biggest revision in there is that we, as we discussed previously, we've dropped that liquor markup from 10 to five%. How about did we take care of our complaint that we were getting? I don't Does this affect that at all?

I don't think they're happy with any markup. So, I mean, there's one person, one of our folks is going to be pleasantly happy. There's they're surprised. This will satisfy one person. [snorts] There's another establishment that isn't happy with any markup. So, is this going to hinder what the email that we got? I don't think they're going to be happy with in this because they they want zero markup. The operating agreements are required by statute. We can't operate in any other way. So, but dropping it. Yeah.

Yeah. that email that you're talking about. They they wouldn't be happy with anything. Motion to accept a motion. A second. Okay. Now call roll. Commissioner Scarlson. I garbers. I may

I. Next is the attorney updated the updated city attorney contract. um received an an updated attorney contract with Freeberg Nelson and ask for miscellaneous attorney services for the 2026 calendar, a rate of $225 per hour for attorney's time for services provided to the city and all other expenses associated with the attorney's representation the city. But did I do something wrong? No.

Motion. I'll second and I'll say that with I would normally probably abstain but I think we've made it clear that the contract that the city has with the city attorney maintenance nothing it has no bearing on my job so okay roll commissioners garbers I Carlson I mayor L

hi okay um next is a South Dakota public assurance alliance updated intergovernmental contract cont. Um they've submitted the alliance has submitted an updated contract for the intergovernmental contract and the contract includes two changes. The first change is an addition of the language to article 5 which which serves to clarify that no member shall have more than one representative serving on the board at any one time. Second change is reforming reformatting of the content. Didn't we vote on this last week or last time? Anyway, about a year ago.

Oh, okay. [laughter] Reformatting of the content for article nine, which includes moving the notice rescending the paragraph to the top of the section. [snorts] I'll make a motion to approve. Second call roll. Commissioner Scarlson. Hi. Garber. Hi. Mayor L. Hi. Okay, that concludes everything that was on the agenda, I think. Yes. Um, do we have district dialogue? Sarah, do you have anything? I can't think of anything.

Paul got a call or text actually wondering where we are with our study [singing] for Cedar Street. And I know some of the answers, but I don't know how to even give an answer. So, study for what? our water study. Oh, the water study. Oh. Oh, that one.

Um, so we they've been sitting on a on a draft. Part of their scope was to also make contact with land owners who are identified as owning property that kind of vital to some of these improvements. And so they've been trying to run down some of those those um contacts and have not been getting um favorable feedback from from folks. Um they so then they went back and looked is there any possible way to move like especially the pond that needs to be built to hold the water back to come down Seed Street looking if there's any alternative locations for that. They they don't think that there really is. Um, so I don't know if now I'll two engineers were the ones who made contact with the property owner. I don't know if I'm gonna Justin Heyman myself might try to step in and make contact see if we can't come to a better resolution. I've also reached out to um a local attorney who also does a lot of uh real estate work for real world property and I'm going to meet with him this week and see if he would be willing to represent us in reaching out to some because he knows how to he knows how to make rural property owners feel like they're protected when they're doing negotiations with the government or other folks. So, I'm hoping he'll be willing to work with us and reach out to some of these property owners and see if we can't get them to move off the diamond.

I knew the answer. I didn't know how to answer the answer the question. Sure. So, uh yeah. So, a lot of the engineering work is done, but there was more to the scope than just the engineering work. So, but you want to get how I got it is yeah, two years I went away for another flood. Did you say,

right? Um, and don't get me wrong, there was more than one project identified because there was even the Cedar Street issue. Um, you know, we kind of think of it maybe as one long issue from the top of Cedar Street all the way through the downtown courthouse area, but that actually will require two separate fixes. We also need to upgrade um our our drainage pipe infrastructure basically from the courthouse area down to the Big S River. That would be a completely separate fix from the pond. So, the focus might just be on trying to do that fix before the pond. Previously, we thought we'd do the pond before that one. The the in town fix is going to be more expensive just because we're dealing with tearing up existing streets and all that, but it'll be more straightforward in the sense that we're in control of all the property that we need to mess with. We'll probably rep prioritize which one we'll tackle first. And are we set for our infrastructure project that we can let people know what we're doing this summer

on Sandborn? We 90% of that is good to go. The but the last 10% is still a big portion and that involves running drainage across Keystone. Keystone has been unresponsive to um to us reaching out. We all we asked for Keystone was an easement in line with Elder. No, Maple. No, it's south of the school. Elder.

Elder. Elder. an an ement in line with Elder to to take the drainage from Elder at the elementary school, go underneath Keystone's property and connect with a rather large pipe that has plenty of capacity on the on the eastern stretch of Elder and then it daylights right below um the the lake over there. Can't think of Christmas Lake. But they, like I said, they've been they answered the phone call once and said, "Yeah, that makes sense." And then they had just haven't been responsive. So, I don't know if they're trying to tell us no. We thought we were talking to the right people. But Carmen, how often do you Keystone?

Uh, a couple times a month. But the people who run Keystone are not in Canton. No, that's corporate. Yeah. Well, so they do have somebody deemed as the local CEO, but they even have a Sou Falls campus. So, are they stationed here or in Sou Falls? Yeah, I think it's all in Sou Falls. I think corporate's all in Sou Falls. So, just maybe it's a matter of nothing we got to act on, but going and knocking on the door up there

because I mean, you know, we tried to do a light touch. I mean certainly we would love to actually say we're going to put Elder Street through. That's what we want to ask for, but we wanted to not let the the tail wag the dog here. So we we kept it conservative and only asked exactly for what we needed and it it hasn't paid off yet. Anything else? I could go on with this. Huh? I could go on.
