We'll make a motion to step the minutes from our previous meeting. Will there be a second? Second. Any discussion about the minutes from the previous meeting? All in favor, aye. Opposed, like sign? No. Pass. Any public comments? We would like to welcome our newest board member who has just been sworn in. He is a Rutherford County commissioners appointee Mr. Cody E. Zailor. Thank you. You like to have words sir. I do appreciate everybody welcoming me to the board so I'm looking forward to serving. When I talked to Mr. Ezio he's like I forgot I applied. I should tag you it we got him leaving no way before the clock. It was over a year ago. But thank you for still being willing. I think one thing that you had said, y'all come on in, DSS Board Meeting. Are you coming from the DSS Board Meeting? It's open to the public. The commission meeting? No, they've already met. They meet the first Monday of the month. This is the Department of Social Services Board Meeting. You're more than welcome to stay. Okay, thank you. Thank you. No, you're not interrupting. It is open to our public. We're going to have to have you here. So once again, Mr. Isail, thank you for being on the board. We will now turn to Director Hunt for our personnel report. All right. Good afternoon, everyone. I'll be having a personnel report, but prior to looking at those numbers, we would like to introduce you to some people we have in the room with us. And I think it may be Susan Eppley, there in your unit. Yes, correct. Okay. We would like to welcome Brittany. Okay. She started with DSS on February 3rd, so she's just been with us for about two weeks. Her most recent work history prior to DSS was guest services for hospitality industry. And then we would like to introduce Rachel Han, Rachel Han Brittany. Then we would like to introduce Peyton Hughes. She came to a family insurance Medicaid effective 211. So this is her first week or about the second week. Her most recent work history of ODSS was analysis in banking industry. So that's our two newest workers for family insurance. Thankiate. Thank you. And with the board like to address our new employees. Once again, I'm just glad that you walked in with a smile on your face. It is good to see young people willing to be involved in social services. We hope you stay with us a long time. Did you say they're in the Medicaid unit? Family and children's Medicaid. Both of them. Been exciting, so forth. Yes. Yes. What you expected so far? You know what I'm saying? It's a lot though, right? It is a lot. A lot. Glad to have you here. Thank you. Well, you guys have anything else you want to say or any questions you want to ask us, the board? Yes. All right. Well, at this point, we will continue on with the meeting and we'll leave this up to you. You can continue to stay until we finish the meeting or since you've been introduced. You can certainly make your way back if this decision is yours. You're like, so is she turning here? I'm going. I'm going. Yeah, that way it is. Guys, once again, if you all want to move closer, I think I saw you like you couldn't hear. If you want to move closer, you want to move closer you're more than welcome to move closer to the front so y'all can hear okay? Directed okay, all right and so in your packets If you will turn we try to identify these by pages on the bottom of the pages Number it's the letter a and it is the personnel report as of 2 to 25. If the board would just review those numbers and let us know if you have any questions. For the sake of Mr. E. E. You kind of give a brief synopsis of what he's looking at. Yes, I will. Just to make sure he's. Right. What you're seeing right now is we certainly have a this is these are all the numbers that you see are the comp times they're an employee numbers because of course we don't reach in the police names in here and then this is the comp time that they earn and it's up to the board to come sort of see where we are with the comp time and then the caseload size. A lot of times we have, we're short staffed and you will see that as you can see in Child Protective Services where you see the highest numbers, those are people that are working over time. So these are the comp time numbers here. Then if you look on down, you see there are all zero so you probably won't have any questions there. Here we are again in foster care and adoptions if you look down, you see there are all zeroes, so you probably won't have any questions there. But here we are again in foster care and adoptions. If you look at 4310, this number here is relatively high. They'll bring it to the director and we'll talk about it and talk about the reasons why. But this number here signifies some of our social workers who have children out of the county and it takes time to go back and forth with the traveling, so a lot of times those numbers are pretty high. The same with the dose services and as you see at the administration number, you know there's only one number here that that that's has come time and that's only work. We're not too concerned about those, but we do get concerned about the ones that do go over and that are pretty high because we're worried about their getting stressed, and so we worry about that, and then we also worry about what cost it could be to the county. So I hope that was helpful. If not, you can certainly ask questions. Please do welcome. Please note that goes due page C. Yeah, just keep moving on. I do want to mention, especially for our older board members, we know we do not have child support come time, but we did have a couple situations where we allowed to come time for child support in the absence of the supervisor. They're going to vacancies, go up. I'll see county London, will you leave somebody up? I was kind of vacancy, do you mind talking about that? I see where it 11. That Is that toy? I can't count. I can't count, Joe. That's toy. What was your? I see we're at 12 vacancies. Is that number went up? I think we have lost a couple people since last month. I think the one at the most important for me. But yeah, we have had a couple people resign, unfortunately. Three in economic services to be our last boy meeting. Have they been on for one? One of them was only on for a month. One of them has been there about three years and the other one that has been about three four months, just another job fit. And the two that we have hired, that was the ones that were just introduced. This is an addition to the ones that's listed here. So we just filled two of them. It would have been greater than that. There's also a whole thing that y'all do, but very much appreciated. Oh, yeah. Because I know y'all try to do as much of in to try to keep morale up and try to keep the employees engaged and let them know that they are appreciated. Absolutely you know it's the same thing where we're continuing to look for positions especially when it comes to and the chapter-tective services, it's just a hard job to do even with us reaching out to people to contract with them. They don't want to knock on the doors anymore because they don't trust the drugs they're using now. They don't trust their mental health acumen. So people are just really nervous about these positions. So we have five open. So the ones who are there, they're doing all the work. Right. And it's pretty sad. And of course, Tiffany's doing supervision until we get one hired and the program management piece. I'm helping her with program management piece that while she's doing her supervision in terms of reports, check and reports and all of that. And I'm not sure if you're aware, but about in 2012, about 13 years ago, the system that issues its benefits was upgraded by the state. And it's called MCFAST. I'm sure you've heard of MCFAST. It's a very complex system. So the wages is not conducive to what's being required. And the public sector does pay a lot more than these positions. One person, one of the ones that was just there for about four weeks, She was offered something like $60,000 in the other section. Sector. Yeah. I mean, young people was going to look at the money. Oh, cool. Any other questions for us? Susan Cody. I'm just looking at the vacancies and comparison to comp time. It all makes a lot of sense. and then if you you got right there on the personnel report? Director Hut? No. That completes our presentation of the personnel report. Unless you have any other questions. We will go on to budget discussion, and we will recognize Ms. Pam Price. OK. For Mr. Ezell, just starting on page one, those numbers that you see on those section is revenues. So if you look at your report on page two, you'll see our contribution for General Fund for your administrative expenses is in the squared box 49.37%. Our budget is separating in two different sections, administrative sections and program side. So all your administrative expenses and revenues are your salaries, your water, your travel, your everything you know administratively. Your program side isn't of course our programs that we. So we have two separate sections. So the administrative expense is that contribution from General Fund is what the county has to put out in order to cover what we don't get revenue for. So we're at 49.37% right now, anything under 58% is under budget. So right now for our contribution from General Fund for Administrative aside is at 49.37 that's almost that's 8.96% under budget while most 9% under for Administrative expenses. Going on to page four your contribution from General Fund for your program side is at 52.7. Again, we should be at 58% with our current amount in January 31. So we're 5.6%, 30% under budget for our programs. On page 10, your very last page of your financial report, You'll see our total budget is at 52.36%, which is 5.9% under budget. So for total budget, we're almost 6% under budget for the year. So as of January 31st. Going back to page five, all of the items that are in square boxes that Kim has good good forest. That's where we can see it a lot better and all those items are over those lines are over budget. The new lines that were not over budget last month the first one is professional services for the board that's almost in of the page at 67.53%. And that is just over budget due to the board salaries being paid quarterly. That, you know, is a little skewed when it's quarterly. Tires, which is down a little further on that same page, we had to purchase two sets of tires this month for two different vehicles. So that line is a little over budget. So we'll just watch that. Of course, we budgeted $2,500. Things happen with tires. You run over things. So no control over that sometimes. But the things that we can control like office supplies, which is our next line, is at 63.5% spending. And that's due to, we purchased that in conference there is like 40 cases of paper that we purchased. So we go ahead and purchase up for, to use for all three buildings. So that's what that's over budget. So like office supplies, we can pretty much control that. So we'll watch our spending on that. Page six, your attorney's dues, which line is that almost down three-fourth to page down, attorney's software, and D's is at 78.10% and that's just, excuse me, 63.6% sorry, I was going to do some descriptions line. That is over because we paid that monthly activity. The attorney's bar views had to be paid this month, $300, then his software, the software fees that they use. And then the only other one that's over this month, that was not over last month, is capital outlay, the HVAC plan at the bottom at 61% and we're going to have to put in new HVAC system. You'll see that in Combrance in Building D. Our system went out in that building. So that PO is sitting out there until they found that system they're going to put in. Going into our programs, the only ones, or there's two, that were over this month, is 4E adoption assistance, which is on page eight. Your 4E adoption assistance is over at 59.52, just a little bit over budget, just due to more children being adopted and being eligible for 4E adoption assistance and being on page 9. Your unclaimed bodies is over we're at 95% spending on unclaimed bodies for your cremations. We have five cremations this month in January so you see we spent $3,700 just in. So we've almost spent all of our funding and we've had more acclimations this month. The federal county funds, that is our county funds. Yes, we pay $750. Mr. Ezell for an unclaimed body that no one claims the county has to pick up and pay the cremation and it's $750 and they rotate between different the mortuaries in the county that do that so what happens to their ashes if they're unclamed the you know one keeps it some counties they have like Cleveland County isn't it that That they have like a sick area issue. That they keep them in the agency. We don't choose to do that. It's just whatever the thing on does. But they, they would like them, yeah. Which is kind of a bad, it's kind of scary. It's very sad. There's no one's playing the ashes and no one, and it comes forth for them. And the body. So that's all I have, unless someone has questions. I know we need to do training. We need more member training with Mrs. Zan and so. And we'll go through budget in details so we need to get that set up when we can to get them trained in. Because our budget's complex. It is one of the most complex, I think. And the, it is the, we have a lot of different funding streams that come in on federal and state funding. So it's very, it's a very complex budget. Well, I was going to say I think one of the things that's helpful is the way that you explain the percentage part, that there are certain things that you expect that you'd be at this point this time of year. But other things, well, we've all this in bulk up front. So it shows that we're over, but it's really more on target than it looks like just because it's in this box. And then some of our revenues we get 50% reimbursement, some we get 75, some we get 100% so it's all over the board. So yeah. And if you'll notice under budget discussion and then if I did the expense launch that over budget, She explains, she puts the page number there, so you the same reason still. So, and we can move funds around. There is some wiggle room that moves some funds around. And we're over budgeted in one line. We can move them within the administrative expense lines. And so those we can move around some funds. And we have Monday. Is there a cap on what that percentages of how much you're allowed to shift from line item to line item? Not within the administrative expense lines? No. That's you know, generally you just lift up to county manager and kind of as director to tell us as needed. Yeah. Any other questions? Any board member have any questions or any surprise? Thank you, ma'am. We will once again recognize Director Hunt for the service report. OK. And if you will go on the bottom page 11, these are the services that we are mandated to provide to the citizens of Rutherford County. And as you look through these services, what we do is we need a snapshot of what we had last year and then what we had the month prior so as you're seeing in the columns the first column you'll see and of course this is a month behind of course because that's the best one the reports are available around the 15th or so of February and if you'll just notice that and if you see anything that looks a little bit odd, you can ask a question. Sometimes I will already see something odd and I will ask the managers about that. So you can certainly watch that. But I'll go ahead and show you something. For example, if you will look under children's services and come down to children available for adoption, you will see last year January 24th, 24th was 63. Now you see January 25th, it's 80. And remember that you can connect that with the additional adoption assistance money that Pam just important to us. So when you see something like this going up, then certainly anticipate something that's related to adoption in the end of the 12. So if you'll just review and let us know if you have any questions. I see that children legally free and drop seven. Is it just those keys decided not to be a party more because they were adopted so this is a good number so it's lower yeah it's they're no longer legally free so we're excited about that And if you tell them when it's your time about the number of the options that we've had, do you think that okay? And if you'll tell them when it's your time about the number of the options that we've had, then do you? right there. Hold it please. Be careful. I hope you need clarity on any... Any board member has any questions for you? Right there, hold on there please speak up. Hope you need clarity on anything. on the CPS reports the total is that pretty consistent like number. I mean, that's kind of a big range from December to January. But is that usually around like the 60 to 90s, range, or is it kind of all over the place? Up and down. So around the holidays you will see what schools out holidays and reports are being down a little bit more. And so then you'll notice that after holiday season just when they'll start going back up, schools back in, you know, a lot of the things you see around holidays, they're dropping off at the right time, they're getting ready to get back in and it's like that. But after that and the school back in the state starting scene. Or is there just kind of... Is that your biggest source of calls is from the schools of reports? That is correct. And that's the reason that they're out like that. Because most people have, it seems like that's an obvious question after what you just said but I just like yeah the sources school that's our number one source of reports so we'll see in the summer then that those numbers will decline again and it's really not necessarily an accurate depiction the things have actually lowered it's just your referral source isn't active okay That is correct. Thank you. Any other comments, questions, concerns, predictors or direct a hunt for the service report? I see. Oh, or reason that college had our souls. They're shaking their heads. It's like making you. Oh, yeah, no, I asked. I'm not saying this on of the service report? No that ends our report of our services. We go program updates and we recognize Ms. Tiffany Dodd with social work. So as director Hunt stated we have mandated programs and services that we have to ensure protection and so the service area is not covered in services or the door services and that's ensuring the protection of adults and children, which is a mandated problem as well. So as discussed way back though, we'll see that our adults, numbers are going up and seeing more adults, we're having a little more adults and more situations. And then also when our children are serving these as you see the reports that we're using, that you know we get them, and we go out and choose to save you from our people. So one thing that Director Hahn talked about was adoptions. So we have made our goal for this year. Our goal was eight per the state, but we are at 19. Wow. They are working really hard. Congratulations. We are so excited working in kids and they're forever homes. So that is a good thing. So yes, that's why you'll see those going to start to go. Wow. Yes, that's a place in the county. I'm sorry. Were they placed in the county the majority? No. I would say majority of well, no. The ones that we've done have not been in this county. So maybe a fee, but not all of them. Yeah. But then for ever home. They are in home. Yeah. The end of forever home. They are in. Yeah. Yeah. So that's a great thing. It does again. I'm one of the age we were in, I think. So that's a good thing. Again, working hard, taking in reports and just trying to ensure safety and protection of adults and children in our county. We wish we could have way more foster homes. That's one of the things that we're working on and what's called our our pot which is our resource parent outreach program and that's you know we're just trying to get more foster homes so we can't keep our kids in the county because that's what we want to do. So that's pretty much what we have going on in adult and and the Children's Services, we are having us a house. The house is being built. It's coming on very well to keep kids from sleeping on the floor at the agency. So we're excited about that. We are continuing to assist families with the hurricane. If they have a case open and children in adult services, we've pretty much spent on money because of it. yeah, and how much did we have? So we had I had 279,000. So we are assisting these families with getting into their homes. So that's pretty much all the updates that I have on my side. Didn't you get a grant or something about safe babies now that we're on this social work? Didn't have something that we was doing with safe babies. So we do have safe babies court now that we that will actually work and start to come in the court. And it's a program where they assist families zero to three with kids ages zero to three. they be in court, they hear about the cases, and then they'll get with the family's talk for them, extra additional services to be a support to them to try to get them up and going. All right, the reason that I'm glad she said all of that right there. Judge Martell approached me today, and he is going to run the group that's doing the safe babies and all that care to actually make sure that the DSS board is aware of what is going on in conjunction with our Department of Social Services. So when that it would be an informal meeting, not a call meeting, but an informal meeting, but he would love for have your attendance, your support and your participation because this is going to be a great thing for Rutherford County. Yes, it will be. It will be a great thing. With very little funding costs, if I'm not mistaken, from Rutherford County, because isn't a grant from the state if I heard correct? It is. So we are very well, we got this grant, what they came in six months ago maybe, some room in there. They're coming in to give, of them a two. They're with agency. So they came in and helped us before. And so now that there's up in Gowin, they'll come in. And me and what is in top two is they'll let us know what is going on in hospital care. So when the chief district judge says, make sure you let them know this. I'm making sure I let you know. That's right. Any other comments, of course, is for Miss Dodd. If he's watching online, he's like, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, We will now go on to economic services and recognize Miss Susan Ebbley. Yes, ma'am. The disaster energy program back in beginning of January, they allocated $450,000 to Rutherford County to use in helping with heating and cooling for the clients that had a issue with their heating and cooling or just paying their electric bill or however they hated or cooled their home but they haven't were having an issue of paying they bill they gave $450,000 to the county we have spent $326,000 but they allocated another $200,000 to rather forford County about the beginning of last week. So our balance is still 3,000, 3,000. The issue with that is they did not allocate any administrative funds. So we're having to pull from other eligibility workers to be able to issue these benefits. So they're also talking about asking for $11 million more from the General Assembly for 25 counties in a state that was under the disaster. So they're asking for more. So when we were in that discussion on the team's meeting, I reminded them, please ask for administrative dollars. A lot of that is for the economic side on our services report or our personal report. The economic services side or the income main inside. A lot of that is because we're having to use those eligibility workers to fund this too. So that's given the report some from Medicaid, report some from FID stamps. So that's making those workers do extra duty and earn the comp time. Additionally, at the beginning of January, they issued 74,000 in rental disaster assistance. We have just about used all of that money. We've spent $68,000 of that money so far. We have applications that's pending that will pretty much exhaust all those funds, but they've said that there will be issuing us another $50,000 in those funds. Now they did give us a little bit of administrative funds for that, 5% of the total, which it comes up to about $60,000 to $6,500, which nowhere near covers the calls to issue in those funds Also on Medicaid we've had a new program policy update for incarcerated individuals. Their Medicaid will go back to the direct care plan meaning they can go get their doctor visits, their medicine and build directly to Medicaid instead of having to have a managed care plan. So, that is going to be more helpful to the ones that have been incarcerated when they get out to be able to continue the health care that they need when they get out. That's not going to be long-term problems for the workers once we get over the hurdle of getting them into the program at first. There's just going to be a backlog first again to the rock plan first. After that it won't be an increase in work. It's just being managing after that. disaster slap we had October, we're going through our review through his state for that so we should get the results from that for May, some time before May. Were they review all of the disaster snap applications that we approved to make sure they were eligible so we should get the results from that. We're having to send that into a state this week. I think that's all for economic services. Changes. Can you please remind us for the rental assistance what the criteria is? It has to be that they are having a hard time paying for their rent and it has to be related to the disaster Such as they got behind because they were out of work from the disaster They lost their job. They're just now getting a new job To be able to continue their funds they got behind so every month or pain one payment behind. So it's on a standard amount based on housing. And for rather for county, the standard amount is $856. So if you get approved, you can prove that you had a disaster related expense or calls and you need help near under the income limits, then they give you a landlord at $156. Did you find out if it was hotels? Yes it is hotels because they are considering that rent. Yes. So it's going to be only at $156 though one time. But that's a little bit around most of the hotels that we would have people living in would be about five weeks, something like that. Is there a cap on the amount that you give for the power assistance to? No. No. No, we have actually a Application that we were reviewing yesterday that was an exorba prize to put heatman a new heatman air conditioning unit in a two-story house and It was just very high to me, so we're asking them to get another quote Just look off. It was $58,000 Come on, give me a. Just for an air conditioning unit. The supervisor called me and I said, that just seems too extra zero on that. That's what I was thinking. It was a two story house so they have a bottom unit and a top unit. So it's actually, in essence, two units, but still, that's the kind of stuff that could be in the back. It was gonna have to have the deck working to you. Yeah, electrical. So there's no camp on the amount that you can pay? No. No, I just thought that that was a lot. Oh, you should get one quote. You use our money effectively. Right. That's great. You know how many people you've helped through that program? And I said, how the dollar amount? Is there a... The first section, the rental or the disaster? The disaster. No, I don't. Well, as of January 31st, we had approved to 124 applications, but that was like when we were head only spent less than $100,000. So I'm sure that's around 300, probably around 300, clients. Now, and sometimes it might just be their power bill, which be 300 $400. And for the energy we can pay that power bill more than one month, more than one time. Where the rental is at one time. Help. That's awesome. Thank you. You're welcome. This is a one you want to say something. Let's use about the six out. Is there smoke coming up? No, I don't know. There's a real turning in there. No, I thought you were saying something before me. Or just spoke up. You were getting ready to ask something. I think you asked if it was for hotels. I think that was one of my questions. And I had another one, but now I'm trying to remember what it was. For the energy assistance where you just got additional money, did it have to be DSS involved or is it for anything? No, not for the energy assistance. OK, not have to be DSS. Because I know there were some that you have to be in others that you don't. And the energy was the one where you don't. We actually got four fungal euroneys. You have to have like eight. Okay. Yes, ours do not. Okay. That $58,000 age back in it was not had not ever been on the rolls whatsoever. But it was called by Hurricane Elaine, the damage. Yes. Okay, I'll see that. But like I said, I like that you're doing, you know, using the funds wisely. It's not going to cost me anything to get another vote. Right. That's right. That just seems very hot to me. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds... And the county kind of has a standard of quotes of the rate. I mean, you know, I mean, anyway. So I'd rather... She called me that. She called me that. And I'm thankful that she understands to the super-allige. Good. You know, you just don't look right. Right. That is. That's all I have. Any other questions? We will once again recognize Director Hunt for the Directive Report. Do you want to add that we are extremely excited that we were awarded a great through workforce development. And it's, well, I initially thought it was for one position, but I kept asking. And they gave us three. So the first position is going to be for to help out out Susan's unit and it will be in commandant's worker one and they will take disaster related applications that will help us but the workforce development grant will pay for it for a year. That's amazing. So we're all excited about that. The second one is we did one for a human services planner and evaluator. That is going to be a position and the data that they collect. We will be able to use it through the entire county. So we were thinking globally when we put this job description in to work for us development because what they're going to do is they're going to take the any type of data that we can find and work with Kayla to make sure that when we have another disaster that we are ready, things are in order and then we will share with the rest of the county. So although the position is for us, we see this position as a global position that is going to have the rest of the county, and they will pay for this position for up to a year. The third one that they said yes to, I got to notice that they said yes, we'll do it. What? So I went to Pimp I said I just But you know because we initially got the grant they said sure so it is for a Spanish speaking interpreter And as long as it's disaster related they will pay for it for a year and the reason why we went there is because Susan called She said we we're losing one of our finished speaking personnel, our staff, I mean she's leaving and I thought well I thought we see if they'll do it and they said yes. So we have those three positions coming through work first development that they'll pay for for a year. In all of that is disaster relief. Yes. They have to be related to the work they do that's great. They have to be related to hurricane. And so to take a huge hand agency rather than being your employee. They're going to PSU so that means that Pam doesn't have to do a fine. She was happy about that. So yeah, all of that is going to be taken care of through PSU. It's just that they'll be working with us. And we're obligated to follow the description that we're giving them and make sure that it's disaster related and what they plan to do is they're going to come by and check with us to make sure that that's what they're doing and we have no problem with that. So we're excited. The last thing that we want to report is that because the House is almost finished, we want the board. We really do want every board member to be at the ribbon cutting and this is the house that Tiffany was mentioning. The name of the house is lighthouse at Building D. We have three buildings on site. One is A, B, C, and then the house is going to be building D. And we're calling it lighthouse at Building D. And we're looking for late night or early June. So what Kim Murray will be sending out some dates, some of the future dates are maybe a doodle and we're just looking for something that works for everybody so that you all can be there. And that's all I have to record. Does every board remember no other house is that? Just making sure I don't want to. Cody may not.. Oh, I think that DSS right there. Why are you all calling building D? We call it building D because it's not me. I just have to point it. Right. Because it is for our forth building and dogwood health trust is the funding source for this house. And again, it was just writing a grant and they said, okay, so we're all excited about that. And we're the first agency in the state that has the house on site. There are other houses, but ours is on site, which is so much better. We can watch it, we're there. Our custodian can help with that. We don't have to use it a gas to get there, so we're saving the county some dollars there. So anything we can do to save dollars, that's what we're trying to do. Miss Dodge said hopefully to help her leave you some of the kids sleeping in the office in different places like that. He's in in hotels. He's in hotels. He's in hotels saying, right, they don't sleep in the office anymore. We do have a job. We do have a house in the community. Oh, right. He's right there. He has home. And we're thankful for that. Yeah. We're grateful for them, for that. They say me, you know, when they were after me about, hey, you can't have kids sleep in here, which is true. It's definitely not a resident of dwelling. But the reality is, this is also going to be a home for the parents and the children to visit. So I mean it's just the most restrictive environment when you bring people into the office. They don't like the office. No it's kind of like going to a doctor's office for a meeting. I mean you know so having a place where they can play outside there's going to be a playground there. Yes, it's gonna be Finstan. CD, do you play on the swings on a lunch break? Oh, yes. Right, there you go. Sterepeutic. It is, it is. So we're very excited about that. And then we're hoping that we can take the visitation room that's in the office and use it for staff. We don't have a place to eat. There's no break room. There's no nothing. So that's what we're looking to do with that space whenever it's time. People either eat in our offices or either in the conference room if it's not taken so we're hoping to do better with that and with that if you don't have any other questions that was that is my report any questions concerns no just congratulations on the health this is just exciting this really it's so close we're very excited it'll be May before we know it yep well at this time we've We've come to the close of our meeting. We're very excited. It'll be May before we know it. Yep. Well, at this time we've come to the close of our meeting. We're going to move in close session, but before we can move into close session, I will need a motion to enter into close session to discuss a personnel performance matter, pursuant to know.
