Okay, are we there? Are we streaming?
It's streaming, isn't it?
So, we just got out of the executive session. This is a special occasion to discuss some business matters. Also, I had to submit an agenda yesterday to include a member of the town council. In recent years, in the Justice Court Assistance Program, they are requiring permission from the JCAP to apply for funds. One of the steps required to apply for funds is the town board permit, which is authorized by the town board. In addition, the town board permit must also be certified. The last date to submit this application is September 22, 2026, Monday. This was required on Monday. I was able to review it on Monday. I had not decided on any other options. So, I put it on the agenda. Since funds go to the general fund for the expenses of town property, the town board would need to make a decision. Although this instruction is intended to cover a total of 30,000 rupees, if anything goes wrong, it will be responsible for those expenses. Therefore, it is important that we allow this. Before going to the premises, I will tell you about what they want to explore. It is about renewing heating units. These will be the mini-splits or heat pumps installed to heat up the clerk's office in the courthouse. They were installed in the 90s, and as many people know, the old heat pump units did not operate below 15 degrees Fahrenheit. There were many days when pipes were left behind in the past. Since it was below 50 degrees inside the building, many could not come to work. Heat pumps did not even get the heat needed for operation on some days. Since JG Laflam has made this facility their own, I am looking forward to seeing if this facility will get funds for installation costs. Does the board have any questions or discussions?
I would like to add one more thing. They often have to use space heaters that overload circuits. Okay. This will be a reason for security issues. So I fully support this policy. Yes, I support this.
Yes, I want to say that when you buy splits, you should be careful to choose a company that gets a 50% rebate.
Yes. Because when I bought it, I got a lot of rebates for four splits. So I think we'll get a lot of rebates from Central Hudson. Yes, rebates are usually obtained through Central Hudson, or you can request for it after installation. That's all I have to say. But I agree to do this. Splits are very common. We should avoid our pipes running cold.
Yes, it was a very difficult thing. Yes.
I used to go to the laundry to make sure that the pipes were not cold. I used to go to the laundry to make sure that the pipes were not cold.

The old heat pumps in Rochester Town Justice Court are cooling in a temperature below 15 degrees F, causing problems in court procedures and office operations. To solve this problem, Justice Law Flem has prepared a Justice Court Assistance Program funding from 2026 to 2027 for a new mini-split system. The estimated cost of the method is estimated to be around $30,000, which is the maximum grant. So, from 2026 to 2027, the JCAP grant of $30,000 in the grant cycle will be granted to Rochester Town Board, Rochester Town Council. Second, Can we also include the word ABEKSHA? Yes, that's where I stopped. Because it made me feel a little uncomfortable. You have to add this. It's not that easy to say in the afternoon.
The second is what I meant.
You can read my Pramayam. Okay. Is there a possibility for more discussions? Does everyone agree? Agree. Those who oppose, those who stand aside, the Pramayam has been passed.
The Pramayam to separate yoga.
I agree. Does everyone agree? Does everyone agree? I agree. You don't have to do that. I just tried to say it. You don't have to write it. You have the pen in your hand, right?
