“No, affiliated cannot hold an apartment in California In case, okay, we have somebody, this is a business, okay, we're one partner out of a number of partners. And the same way I wouldn't want Hollywood, who's an investor in this, okay, to turn to affiliate and say, hey, we have four people that might want to rent there. Can you hold four apartments? No, this is a business, okay? It'd have to be rented, okay? And, you know, in the most, you know, in the most efficient and business-like manner, okay? OK, so, you know, I mean, you know, it would be stupid for affiliated to take to if somebody…”

“And I'm guessing Jose will be back from, what's the city? One second, I will take one second. Hopefully, he will be back from Huthbert, Georgia, okay, for that meeting. So make sure, okay, he's invited. Okay. So that's affiliated, okay. David, I don't see anything else on here, okay, that we would need you for, but you're always welcome to stay. Okay. Uh, but with that, and Kevin asked Ron to go into the, uh, and well, this is going to be Ron and Alfredo and, uh, uh, on the, uh, drop language.”

“Yeah. Okay. I have gone through this. Okay. Several times. Okay. And it is impossible, impossible. It's not a question of, you know, I mean, it, When I say impossible, unless we hired a person to watch a single account, it is impossible for us to administer that section of the ordinance. There's no way we can predict in any fashion what the rate of return in any given year going forward is going to be if there was once again. That would be Alfredo's doing, okay? And he says he can't do it. But the bottom line is we can't predict that. We can't predict what the cost, if we could just predict…”

“Yes. Alfredo, where the hell are you? We can watch you chew. I know you don't want us to watch you chew. Do you understand what Ron just said? Good. Just spit it out.”

“It's a mistake. It never should have been written in the first place. Randy, do you understand that? I mean, I predicted exactly what would happen, okay, with this. And, yes, because of the cost of living, okay, and the fact, okay, that they're earning a rate of return on this money, we can't predict what it will be. It's impossible. the cash flow that's supposed to be paid out, okay, is the cash flow of the corpus, okay, plus a rate of return if there is one up to a certain point, okay? And then, okay, it has to have the COLAs in it, you know, that are adjusted annually. So it's impossible…”

“Because right now somebody else comes along, okay? We have to do it because that's the ordinance. But now that we've seen how it works, we can guarantee there's going to be a mistake there. And the bottom line is, in the case of Manny Mongola, he got every penny he deserved and then some. And then we came back and said, hey, you got a little more than you... then you're allowed to get, and now we have to claw back the money. This is going to happen again, Randy. I'd appreciate it if it was done immediately. If it's already in the police union and agreed to, Randy, if you guys waive it, it can…”

“Well, let's, let's get more specific then in case. So Rand, Randy, you can understand this. Okay. In other words, we can't put this into an account in just Roberta's name. If they need to open an account as Henry and Roberta or Henry's account, okay, with her as the power of attorney on it, having the power of attorney to sign on it, okay? But that's, I mean, and right now, our major concern is getting the lump sum, okay, to Henry, okay? So... I mean, I'm trying to think of every question that might, in other words, it would be great, okay, now that we know that the power is sufficient, what…”

“Okay, but that's not our concern. Our concern is getting her the money today, how she sets up the account. I don't want to give her a legal opinion of any kind because that always comes back to bite us. The only thing I want to make sure is, is that when she sends us the request for payment, okay, which, which, you know, Sierra will now, will accept, will accept this so you can, I mean, and Sierra or Ron, in case you'll be sending her an email immediately saying, we accept this power of attorney, okay, and we want to move on, please call us, okay, for you know, with any questions or, and then…”

“I want, okay, John, I'm going to go with that. Okay, I'm going to say, Ron, okay, then you send, you write the email. Can we do this in the next 24 or 48 hours at the maximum? Okay, get her a letter out. Okay. So we accept, you know, happily, use the word happily. Happily, we accept the money.”

“I personally would not like to say it's a joint account. I personally would like to say it's an account with his name on it.”

“Joe, I don't know her banking affairs, okay, or her family's banking affairs, okay, and I don't want to be involved in that decision, okay? The bottom line is I want to make sure she knows that the account, because there's probably a dozen or two dozen ways, okay, to have his name on the account, and it's what's best for him. I don't want to make a banking decision for him that is going to come back and say, oh, well, I opened that account, and now there's this problem, okay? And they told me I had to open a joint account, and I don't know what those issues are. I want to make sure, okay,…”

“Okay, that's my opinion. I don't think we need to vote on anything here, okay? I think, you know, we now have that, okay? In fact, if you could get that email, okay, to Sierra, then in 24 hours, okay, and Sierra, within 24 hours, if their phone call could go up to Roberta, and then followed by an email, and I'm sure Randy is probably on the phone with her right now, okay, and”

“Okay, but that's not, don't get me started on there, okay? We don't want to be here for an extra hour, okay? Because I can lecture you for an hour, okay, at least. What went wrong with this? We don't want to get in that now. What we want to do, we want to get Henry his goddamn money.”
