“These are great people. It was great. We met. This is one of the good things about this job is my wife and I are out to dinner one night. And Sue's sitting there. And we strike up a conversation. And for an hour, we realize all the same people that we knew and just very good people. And so we're going to do everything we can to help you. I know we're trying to right now try to resolve this for you. And I can see Rob is standing in the back. Cause to talk to you again here with regard to the issues. And we'll figure this out.”

“Can you just talk a little bit about your involvement in the Turlock Subbasin, a little bit of your history there and what you've accomplished down there with the similar non-district east, non-district west, or east-west issues going on. Can you just address that a little bit?”

“Thank you for that, Mike. That was great. Just that there was a lot of pain for the individuals on the east side, and that was accepted by them, knowing that that was going to happen. Because of the trust you built, you were able to build this trust between the east and the west, and there was no question that the east knew that there was going to have to be concessions. There was going to be pain there. But you guys were able to come to an agreement there. As a result, if you get into that point of trust, it seems like that's where you got.”

“I appreciate the presentation by you guys and all the hard work. I know how hard everybody's worked on this. And we will continue to work and we've got our work cut out for us in the next six months here to really produce. So thank you for that and I appreciate all the comments. I won't even go there with Bob Robos' comment with regard to my credibility here and my intentions. It's not even worth a response. Okay, so let's talk about where we're going to go here. We've been asked to be the stewards for the non-district east. That's why we're here. The county is into non-district east and…”

“Yes. So the way I look at this, Manny, is not doing the study will definitely lead us to increased conflict, litigation, potential state intervention. The downside to it is if we don't do the study, yeah, that we're in trouble. And that's just knowing the disagreements that are out there right now. I see no harm in the study happening.”

“I do 100%. I 100% think that's what's gonna happen here. I don't anticipate that the study's gonna, I'd be surprised if the study did find something that was unbelievable between the two studies that were done. But I think 100% that doing the study will get us to a spot where we've made the effort, we have two conflicting studies, we've gotten a third opinion, and we can move forward here with whatever.”

“Thank you. Thank you guys for the presentation. This is difficult. Like Manny said, we all were briefed on this when we first found out about this and how this was going on. And then the update was to kind of tell us the dollar amounts that we're talking about here. It just shows how important this is. First, how important accountants are. That's always, I want to make sure that everybody knows that. But just the importance of the institutional knowledge and how we lose that sometimes when people, as people move on, transfer to other departments, things like that, that happen. That's how this…”
