Board of County Commissioners - Regular Meeting

Good morning, Tony. Would you like to do a quick sound check with me?

Good morning, Sarah. Can you hear me?

Yes. Perfect. Thank you so much, sir.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

All right.

Commissioners, I'll begin recording the Zoom. Thank you. Good morning, everyone.

My name is Matt Salka, County Commissioner Chair. is August 25th, 2026. It's 10 a.m. I'd like to call this business meeting to order. Commissioners, please introduce yourselves.

Elizabeth Philbrick, La Plata County Commissioner.

Marcia Porter-Norton, La Plata County Commissioner.

Sean Algarza, County Manager.

Jeff Hughes, Deputy County Manager.

Charles Rogers, County Attorney.

Great, thank you. Let's all please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. All right. We'll go ahead and move on to today's agenda. There are two main sections on our agenda. One is the consent agenda and then the decision agenda. The consent agenda is designed to approve projects in a single motion that, while important, do not require board or staff discussion. Do either commissioners wish to remove anything from today's agenda? If not, I would entertain a motion. We can jump right to it.

I have nothing to remove, and I will move to approve today's agenda as published. Thank you.

Thank you very much. There is a motion. All those in favor?

Aye. Aye.

Aye. All right. Motion passes. Thank you. All right. Next up is identification of potential perceived conflicts of interest. Do any of the commissioners need to disclose any?

Mr. Chair, I removed the AAA agreement from the consent and onto decision prior so that I am able to recuse myself from that particular decision item. I am the chair of the AAA at this point in time, and so I will be the other signatory on this particular agreement, and I think it is best that I, despite the fact that it does seem like there's no real conflict, I think it's best to remove any perceived potential conflict.

Thank you, and just also a note just you know monetary value Those are the type of things that we would recuse ourselves, but I understand that situation and so that works Thank you. Thank you all right Next here will be Thank you. Mr.. Porter. You're I am good. Neither. Do I thank you all right? We'll go up next here, and that's presentations update on the Durango La Plata County Airport with Tony I

Good morning, Commissioners. Tony Vacari, Aviation Director at the Durango-La Plata County Airport. Give me a moment to share my screen and we'll get going. All right. Someone just give me a quick verbal thumbs up that they've got the slides. It's perfect. Thank you. Excellent. Thank you. So just a normal quarterly update to the BOCC. So a quick run through here on activity numbers. These are primarily through July. Airline employment, which is passenger traffic, is up 11% year to date, putting us on track for a fourth consecutive year of record-breaking passenger traffic at the airport. Airline seat capacity is up healthily, close to 20% year over year. which has led to a slight reduction in overall load factor or percent of seats filled. We've seen that number drop off several percentage points from highs established last year. That will be indicative a little bit into the future as we look at the airlines potentially finding a settling point with seat capacity. But for now, we continue to be on a strong trend there. Seeing strong growth on parking lot transaction volume. Rental car contract days a little less robust at this point. Terminal concession revenue, largely flat, but that is artificially suppressed by the fact that our concession spaces are in flux as we move through various phases of the terminal project and expect those to stabilize and grow once we open new spaces, which we'll talk about here in a few minutes. General aviation fuel flowage, which is indicative of private aircraft traffic, is our strongest metric, up 16% year over year, and air freight is basically flat. Looking at our passenger appointments, every month of the year so far through July has been an individual record month at the airport. I've noted before we're up 11% year-to-date on overall traffic. Airline route network, no major updates here. Continue to have a strong airline flight schedule from both United and American. I would note that United's seasonal summer service to Houston wrapped up on the daily front on the 10th of August. It's continuing on Saturdays through Labor Day weekend. We're still waiting on some debriefs with United to get the full run through on success in terms of what they saw for both revenue and occupancy on the Houston flight here in the fall as we recap on that and then look forward to what will be new winter seasonal service that's going to be flown this upcoming winter on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so twice a week, starting right before the holidays and running through the end of March aligned with the traditional ski season overall. So between the continued growth of Houston in the summer and now the new expansion into seasonal service in the winter, continuing to work with United around an ongoing push to expand service into Houston, which is our fourth largest origin and destination market and another key connecting hub for United. So that remains a focus of ours to try to firmly establish Houston as more than just a seasonal destination. American continues to run strongly with service to Dallas and Phoenix. They are running their Dallas frequencies right now with larger mainline equipment through the late summer and early fall months, adding additional capacity there. Financially, the airport remains in strong position. You can see our overall balance sheet listed on this slide here. We have a net position of about $16 million currently. And we have over $6 million non-restricted reserves, which is well over a year of operating expenses for the airport. But you can see the little asterisk there when we factor out some of the long-term loan liability costs. that drags down that unrestricted balance a little bit artificially. We actually have closer to two plus years of cash on hand, which is an intentional position. We've been talking about this for several years, but continue to see the unrestricted cash position of the airport drawn down moderately as we pay out the remainder of costs associated with our terminal expansion project. But we are still anticipating settling into very healthy spaces post-project. Quick project run through, just to give a couple of high points here. Talk more about the terminal expansion in a few upcoming slides. But I would also note we just recently completed a replacement of all the parking access equipment at the airport. So the public accessing either our main or south parking lots at the terminal. We'll now be entering and exiting using new equipment. We're still dialing in some of the features associated with this, but once it's fully in stride, we're going to be able to offer new upgrades like scan to pay and card on file options for frequent users, so to have automated payment exits. It's also driven in large part by license plate recognition technology on the front entries and exits. So as long as there's a clean read on a plate, when you pull up to the exit, it should again read that plate and automatically prompt fares, making tickets essentially the backup to the system, which will again move to expedite the process through the parking lot. So looking forward to keeping that process as clean as possible for our users on that end. And then wrapping up with a few notes on the ongoing terminal expansion project, we are in the third and final phase of our current chunk of construction here. If you just reference the large map on the right, all the dark gray is brand new construction, which is now completely complete and online. The new baggage claim, TSA screening checkpoint, American Airlines boarding gate, retail shop, TSA offices, all of that is complete and fully opened in mid-late May, so continue to be pleased with that. And we're currently running through the tail end of the project, which is focusing more on renovations of legacy spaces, primarily the middle lower part of the diagram. Gates 4 and 6 are currently being renovated to match the aesthetic of the rest of the terminal, upgraded furnishings, additional coffee shop concessions areas, and new gate space that will be coming online. here in the next couple of months, and we do remain on track to complete the entirety of the terminal expansion project by the year end. Just a couple of photos. These are already getting dated since I posted the agenda. The TSA has well made their move into the new screening checkpoint. The new exit lanes are fully online. All this new space is up and opening and functioning fully for the public. Just a quick reminder, we've got several additional local art installations yet to come. Two of the artists on this list, Cameron Dean and Bryce Pettit, have completed their installations at the airport, but the other three, Cindy Acheson, Lori Kulum, and Hannah Wilson, are all pending. We're looking for them to complete their installs likely in the month of September here, so upcoming pretty shortly, as we open some new additional spaces that are currently being renovated. And lastly, just as a reminder, our terminal concessions is now operated by Skydine, who has selected an RFP last year in 2025. You can see a variety of local businesses that they partnered with in the process here. And then most upcoming, we're expecting the new primary airside concessions restaurant and bar to be open in the next handful of weeks. That is a licensing partnership with Steamworks, who's obviously a well-established restaurant in Durango. the steamworks team and skydine team have been working hard to open that space finishing out furnishings and equipment installs currently and we anticipate in the next handful of weeks being able to do at least a soft opening of that space the construction walls are now down and looking forward to tying that in and bringing some local food and fare into the heart of the terminal and then ongoing a little bit later into the fall the land side RESTAURANT SPACE WILL OPEN AS WELL AS THE AIR SIDE COFFEE SHOP, WHICH IS GOING TO FEATURE DESERT SUN COFFEE ROASTERS, WHICH IS ANOTHER LOCAL BUSINESS. AND THEN THE REST OF THE ONES YOU CAN SEE ON THE LIST HERE ARE ALL EITHER CURRENTLY PLACED IN SOME OF THE RETAIL OFFERINGS OF THE AIRPORT OR WILL BE COMING ONLINE WITH THE NEW CONCESSION SPACES. AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TONY. I WAS JUST THERE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND IT'S JUST BEEN AND ACTUALLY USING IT. And it's been great. So great work to you, the board, your staff. It's beautiful. So it's working good. So thank you. And then also another note, too, Tony, is I don't expect you've seen this already, but this morning I sent you an email. Just wanted to follow up, see if you can get a review of a route county legislation proposal, which could impact La Plata County Airport or not. So I look forward to any feedback you may provide. And then the other topic is fiber and getting a redundant connection to that airport, too, as well. So I'm working with our local IT and then the Southern Indian Tribe.

Excellent, thank you. I'll be sure to review that.

Okay, thank you.

Chairman Selka? Yes. Yeah, I'm always so impressed with these, Tony. It's, yeah, it's just really exciting. How is your water situation going?

So yeah, the water situation has been better than we anticipated. We've been producing water throughout the summer here with success. We have a emergency backup procedure in place with contracts for emergency water hauling if they were needed under dire conditions. Thankfully, that has not been needed so far this year. We've had a lot of success at reduction in some of our water demand on site. The handful of entities that do some minor irrigation off of our water system all worked with us on the early part of the season to effectively nix the irrigation system before it ever began. We've actually reduced our water consumption by around 30% for the airport as a whole this summer, which is pretty remarkable. And kudos to our utilities team for keeping good water moving out of the Florida, which is obviously challenged with ongoing drought conditions. But given the severity of the ongoing drought, we actually feel pretty good about where we're at.

Thank you. And I just also want to give a big shout out to the tanker base out there. It's just been instrumental. And any thoughts about changes there, I know we'll hear from you. I don't think there's any underway, but it's been instrumental. We have commissioners over in Dolores County that very much care about it on the Ferris Fire and, of course, the Babylon Fire and on and on and on. So thanks for all the collaboration with the Forest Service on that.

Yeah, definitely. I think, you know, the tanker base is something that doesn't always catch the headlines day to day, but when we need it, it becomes a critical regional resource for us and you really hit on the regionality of it. The last couple of years, while we haven't necessarily had major fires kind of in the immediate proximity of La Plata County, we've had some significant fires recently. Within our greater region, you mentioned the Ferris Fire, Gold Mountain Fire, Babylon Fire, all of those were served by the tanker base this year. In addition to quite a number of other fires in eastern Utah, northern New Mexico, central Colorado, etc. So definitely a huge resource and just kind of broadly to address your statement there. Yeah, the tanker base, you know, has no intention of any kind of major changes, certainly nothing that would be a negative or detriment to their service here unless there was a change proposed at the federal level.

Thank you.

Your board meetings are always so chock full of information. I'm not sure I have a whole lot to ask you in public. So I just want to say congratulations. Your expansion is beautiful. successful and continues to help our region grow. Thank you. Thank you very much. Appreciate the support.

Thank you very much, Tony.

Thank you.

All right. Next up here is public comment input. And I would like to open up the public comment portion of this meeting and hand this over to Sarah. Thank you.

Thank you, commissioners. I'd like to welcome everyone to the public comment section of our agenda, which provides you with the opportunity to express your views on issues within the board's jurisdiction not covered in today's agenda, as well as items that are on the consent agenda.

And finally, if you're watching the meeting, I will put a time clock on my view that can help you gauge your time. And commissioners, nobody in your virtual audience would like to make comments today.

Great. Thank you. Anyone in the room? All right. Seeing none, I'll go ahead and close the public comment portion of this meeting and move on to the consent agenda. Again, the consent agenda designed to approve projects in a single motion that, while important, do not require board or staff discussion. Do I have a motion to approve today's consent agenda?

Chairman Salka. Yes.

I move to approve today's consent agenda.

Thank you. There's a motion. All those in favor?

Aye. Aye.

Aye. Motion passes. Consent is approved. Thank you. All right. We'll go on to our single item here on decision agenda. This is consideration of the San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging Proposal for Short-Term Services for State Fiscal Year 2026 to 2027. Staff report, please.

Good morning, county commissioners, county manager, and deputy county manager and county attorney. My name is Vicki Mestas, and I am the director of the Durango La Plata Senior Center. I'm here today seeking consideration of the San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging proposal for the short time services for state fiscal year 2627. I am going to read what was submitted to you directly as well as provide you with additional historical background and comment as appropriate. By way of background, the purpose of this short time grant funding request For La Plata County Senior Services for State Fiscal Year 26-27 allows the county the opportunity to continue to provide essential senior support services to residents aged 60 years or over and their caregivers in La Plata County, including Durango, Bayfield, and the rural unincorporated areas of the county. As the projected population of La Plata County continues to increase, it is imperative that we continue to provide these services to this vulnerable population. Many of the seniors are considered at risk, low income, medically underserved, or isolated, and need our continued services. Our mission continues to be that we are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all people age 60 years of age and older, helping them age with dignity and purpose. The Durango-La Plata Senior Center has contracted with San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging for several years to ensure the valuable senior support programs such as nutrition, transportation, and caregiver support services are available to our aging population. Recently, on July 3rd, 2026, the State Unit on Aging at the Colorado Department of Human Services received formal notice from the San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging regarding a transition in regional services. San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging made the decision to voluntarily relinquish its designation as of the Area Agency on Aging servicing Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Juan Counties. The State Unit on Aging has initiated a process to identify and vet a qualified agency to assume the official duties and responsibilities of the Area Agency on Aging for the region. The short-term contract for the period of July 1 of 2026 through October 31st of 2026. A long-term contract will be issued by the new leadership entity when it becomes formalized. San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging continues to contract with the Durango-La Plata County Senior Services as a short-term contract renewal to provide federal Title III nutrition services, which include the following essential services. Congregate C1 and C2 Meals on Wheels, Title III Part B, services, which includes transportation and home chore services. Title III E services, which include caregiver transportation, meals, and support training, and Title III D services for evidence-based programs such as Tai Chi. These programs are funded by the Federal Older Americans Act and state general funds. and are administered by the State Unit on Aging. Funding allocations vary from fiscal year depending on decisions at the Colorado General Assembly. These funds are allocated by population and eligibility criteria for each state and within each region. State general funds are allocated each year for the provision of these services. mandating that these services meet the program and fiscal requirements of Colorado Department of Human Services Rules and Regulations, Volume 10. For the partial state fiscal year 27, San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging required that an online proposal for service request be submitted by each provider and or organization. The funding requests are to be reviewed and allocated by their finance committee with a final approval by their governing board chairman. After each provider's funding allocation, a short-term contract is to be coordinated through San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging. La Plata County Senior Services funding request for services for state fiscal year was $551,629. The portion of funding that La Plata County Senior Services will receive for partial state fiscal year 27 will be $132,990.87. For the specific amounts of the federal Title III and state general funds, please reference the report. The fiscal impact of these funds are included in La Plata County Senior Services 26 budget, and additional revenues will also be included in the La Plata County 2027 budget. In respect to strategic plan alignment, objective 1.2, deliver and maintain county services and infrastructure that match the needs of the community. Pillar one, safety and well-being, La Plata County prioritizes preserving nature, providing essential services, and ensuring community safety. Recommended action improve in its final form attached here to the submittal of the short-term San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging for services for La Plata County in the amount of $132,990.87 for Title III and state general funds for nutrition, transportation, home chores services, health promotion, and caregiver support for short-term state fiscal year 27, which again would be from July 1 of 26 through October 31 of 26. With his signature authority to the chair for the grant contract, and all other grant-related documents after review of the same by the Finance Department and county attorney's office. Thank you.

I was just curious about that.

So very good question, Commissioner Sulka. $583 is for Part E caregiver congregate meals. And what that means is if you are caring for a loved one, we then are then eligible to receive reimbursement for the caregiver meal itself. So it's a wonderful service to allow our vulnerable population to also come in and the caregiver and receive a healthy nutritional meal.

And then just another education is the $83 for individual caregiver counseling.

And that's been an interesting challenge within the last eight years. We were never able to actually get reimbursed. When I meet with an individual and their loved ones and potential caregivers, that visit can take up to an hour. It's the decision factor of do we, given the circumstance, of course, our goal being that our vulnerable population continue to reside in their own dwelling as long as we possibly can. But it has become a very in-depth counseling session. And so now we are therefore able to request reimbursement. at the state unit on aging. So that's very exciting. Thank you.

FIRST OF ALL, VICKY AND COMMISSIONER FILBRICK, I KNOW THIS IS TAKING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME, AND AS I HAVE SAID IN SEVERAL FORUMS, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THE COUNTY DOES IS TAKING CARE OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS AND OUR SENIORS. THIS IS A BIT OF A GOVERNANCE QUESTION, BUT I WOULD ASSUME THEN IN THIS INTERIM PERIOD THIS CONTRACT IS MONITORED BY THE PERSON, LAURA, I BELIEVE IS HER NAME?

Laura Strather, it was a state unit on aging.

So she's the interim executive director?

In the interim, the state unit on aging has hired a temporary executive director by the name of Eva Vinch, E-A-C-H.

So this is on the San Juan Basin end, not on our end. But this contract is being monitored, obviously, by this interim structure.

Very much so. Commissioner Philbrook?

If I could clarify, at this point in time, Laura Strother is the director of the state unit on aging. Oh, okay. So she is a permanent member of the state unit on aging. I see, okay. And that's the flow-through entity at the state level. However, the interim director, Eva Vetch, was appointed by the San Juan Basin AAA.

Okay.

So while there is an interim director, the leadership, and the nonprofit that has been managing the AAA in our region still is active until the de-designation date of early November.

And that Eva then is essentially the staff person for that?

She is currently the director of the AAA, the Region 9 AAA. All right, I got it.

So Laura and Eva, I'm now getting their roles figured out. De-designation, you asked about that. When is Region 9 making a decision? I ASSUME SOMEBODY, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT HERE, WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT THE PLAN B. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT HERE. I FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO ASK THIS QUESTION OF WHAT HAPPENS IF REGION 9 CHOOSES NOT TO TAKE THAT ON. And so that's something for a future forum.

There are significant legal requirements from the state level of how the next steps would go. We cannot think of a plan B at this point in time until the original COG has the first right of refusal. After that, we can step forward with new options. They are all pretty much designated by the state.

okay that's very helpful and again i just want to reiterate i know this has been a lot to keep track of in the midst of your regular job and i appreciate it so and appreciate all these services i think commissioner salco was really getting to the heart of it of like these are things that impact people's lives every day so that is correct thank you commissioner i don't think it's lost on any of us obviously so thank you all right thank you thank you

All right, we'll go ahead on to the next section of this, and that is I'll open this agenda item up to public comment. Anyone wish to address this issue, please limit your comments to three minutes and I'll hand it over to Sarah.

Excellent. Thank you so much, commissioners. If anybody in our virtual audience would like to make comment relating to this item, if you could please raise your hand for me in Zoom. For those of you watching the meeting on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you'll find a raise your hand button on your screen. And while you raise your hand, I'll describe public comment for everybody. The board does limit testimony to three minutes per person. And they may not directly answer your questions, but they will, of course, take your comments into consideration. And finally, if you're watching the meeting, I will put a time clock on my view that can help you gauge your time. And commissioners, nobody in your virtual audience has raised their hand to make comment on this item.

Thank you. Anyone in the room? All right, I'll go ahead and close the public comment portion of this meeting. And are there any comments or questions from the commissioners? If not, I would entertain a motion.

I HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, SO I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE IN ITS FINAL FORM ATTACHED HERE TO THE SUBMITTAL OF THE SHORT-TERM SAN JUAN BASIN AREA AGENCY ON AGING PROPOSAL FOR SERVICES FOR LA PLATA COUNTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $132,990.87 FOR TITLE III AND STATE GENERAL FUNDS FOR NUTRITION, TRANSPORTATION, HOME CHOICE SERVICES HEALTH PROMOTION AND CAREGIVER SUPPORT FOR SHORT-TERM STATE FISCAL YEAR 27, JULY 1, 2026, TO OCTOBER 31, 2026, WITH SIGNATURE AUTHORITY TO THE CHAIR FOR THE GRANT CONTRACT AND ALL OTHER GRANT-RELATED DOCUMENTS AFTER REVIEW OF THE SAME BY THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

GREAT. THANK YOU. THERE'S A MOTION. AND WITH COMMISSIONER FILBRICK RECUSING HERSELF, COMMISSIONER PORTER-NORDEN, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?

AYE.

AYE. ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU.

Thank you, Vicki.

All right. Commissioners, we have BDT here tomorrow, but is there any items that you would like to bring up?

My only item would be that it does seem that recently put on our calendar, I think it was this morning, is that region nine economic development meeting. It is on the same day as the next five by five. And so I will likely, I need to be there on that day. And so Commissioner Sulco, you and I need to determine whether or not we are going to post that.

So I have the same argument with you, is that I need to be there for Region 9. It's unfortunate because I really value the 5 by 5 meetings here and being able to coordinate with our other counties surrounding us. Commissioner Porter-Norton, what I guess I'm asking you is, are you comfortable with going to the 5 by 5?

With adult supervision, yes.

OK. All right.

And so tell it tell you right in the fall sure I'll go there The only thing I would say is there might they might do a zoo Dolores County didn't so if either of you wanted to jump in and out I saw the email yesterday from their Scheduler so there might be a zoom option, but of course.

I'm completely happy I do recall that email Commissioner Porter Norton and so that is something where I can one do that meeting and then jump in on the 555 after All right. So that's a note for staff is that we need to get that meeting noted. But that's in September and there'll be several reminders by that time. Okay. All right. Any other items?

I have just calendaring that helps. I haven't looked at the latest updated commissioner. I did see that the inauguration ceremony is Friday. And are you all going?

Can someone cover for me?

I will be there. I plan on going.

All right.

But I just wanted to make sure, Commissioner Philbrick, if you wanted to go, that we would need to notice it if we haven't already.

I would like to go. However, I will not be able to.

OK. I will represent. And those are always amazing. Quite an honor to be there as the chairman is sworn in. And so that is Friday. And so we don't need to notice it. Staff, it's Friday from 10 to 12 out at the tribal headquarters. I AM GOING TO BE SITTING IN ON A WEBINAR WEDNESDAY FOR CCI ON INITIATIVE 175. COMMISSIONER SOLKA, I WOULD LOOK TO YOU AS BEING ON REGION NINE'S BOARD, AND I THINK YOU ARE THE ONE REPRESENTING US ON THE CCI TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE, RIGHT? INITIATIVE 175 IS SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO, AND THERE'S A COMPANION BILL. I'M NOT GOING TO ATTEMPT HERE TO DESCRIBE ALL OF IT, BUT I WILL BE SITTING IN. if the commissioners can either sit in or listen to the recording. Essentially, the way I see this to cut to the chase, If 175 goes through and we can't make it all work, we could be even seeing more unfunded mandates because it's going to take about $700 million a year from the state budget that we don't have. So how does it impact La Plata County is always my first question. So that's tomorrow. And I just would really encourage you, you can sign up and then listen to the recording.

Commissioner Porter and I am scheduled for that as well. It's a webinar. So it's just more of them talking to us.

Great. Then on Monday I'm doing office hours. Thank you, Mary, for my incredible last minute hearing. I realized, oh my gosh, it's August and I need to put office hours. I'm going to do them early in the morning this time, 11th Street Station, on 730 to 9 Monday morning. We'll see how that goes. And then I am still trying to get clear if the event that Tiffany Chacon invited us to is happening. And if so, we just need to make sure we're coordinating on that.

So I still have, Commissioner Porter and I still have that for 10.30 to 12 on Monday the 31st.

All right. Thank you. That's it.

Okay. Commissioner Philbrick, any other items before I jump to my side?

I will go through my calendar tomorrow. Okay, perfect.

We have our on-road meeting on Wednesday, but we can speak on that tomorrow. But looking forward to the residents in the area of Iacito and having some good conversations about their concerns. I will leave with that, and then I will just give updates on tomorrow during board discussion time. All right. Shawna?

I have nothing. Thank you.

Jeff? Sure. All right. I'll call this meeting adjourned then. Thank you, everyone.

Thank you. Okay, Ben, swing by.
