001It is 7:16. We have seven board members present stand to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We have some consent agenda items transfers the overnight tripland for environment fund and the elections which appro any other questions. Okay, we have a motion by a second by Penny. Kim, how do you vote? >> Yes. >> Elaine, >> yes. >> Penny, >> yes. >> Eric, >> Yes. This time we will move to the budget development. That's all good. All right. Good evening everyone. Thank you for being here uh for revised budget adoption presentation uh county officials for the schools for the community. Want to start once again with an open slide about students focus our budget as always
002is on our students and how best meet the needs of our students in our school district K through 12. So I'm going to turn it over to Colleen to start the presentation. Next slide. So our revenue projection tax levy is at 2% which we'll see on another slide. Our state aid since the budget the New York state budget was passed and went back and revised that and any other changes for better or worse that came to our revenue line and in the end it added about the same. Um, our other revenues went down a little bit since our previous presentations, but the net, as I said, is about the same as it had been. So, our new budget number is 26,351,000. If you net that against the projected revenue, we still need our $1 million
003in fund balance to roll over, which we have since this budget is going to be under spent. and we will need the $422,000 in that leaves us with an increase about $85,000 and less than 1% increase of the prior budget. So suggested use of fund balance. I would still suggest we take the maximum amount of workers comp and unemployment because those are underfunded and we need to kind of money to better places and then any remainder will pull from ERS which is our largest reserve. So again, here's our historical revenue and expense. The line on there is sort of where the interims came in and then I came in and pen came in. So we have been working on leveling out costs. This year will trend up some to some degree and then we'll have
004to work on keeping it as low as we can and each time we don't hit the reserves that extends our window to get this level and then bring the revenue above. So we can put aside things like the cows. So we're trending that way. We just have to keep in the work we're doing. It is still possible to in a window of 3 to 5 years get us in a much better position. >> So in terms of the revised tax levy last week we discussed board agreed to 2% be a slight reduction 16%. Um the total increase $217,485 total 11,91,79 uh coming from the tax lev what this means for homeowners here in Berlin uh $23.13 per assessed value for your home. So, $100,000 home, $2,313, full assessed value, $200,000 home, $4,626, etc. Um, in
005taxes. this graphic on the right of paper is credit for assisting us together, but originally it was something that was similarly from a neighboring district that um they put out and it actually reflected very well on Berlin and what our students are receiving for the amount of money that our taxpayers are paying. You can see here comparative districts nearby uh the assessed taxable assessed value of homes Berlin 10 10.26 the lower the value the better. Uh, so but residents are paid on their home school assessed value. You can see the $1026 approximate school tax on a $200,000 home will be $2,52. Um, you know, New York State taxes tend to be on the higher side versus other states. But at least comparably districts nearby in terms of again value that we're we're getting more education
006for our students here. We can see comparably how we're doing to our our neighboring districts. That's been a great good news when it was shared out again from neighboring district and we have adopted it make our own for Berlin with the the green graphics give credit to the other district but I won't name their name but that was put out there so I'll leave up there for a second just to see it a lot of information up there slide afterwards uh so what is the plan uh regarding the next five years we know we need continue to look to reduce um our our budget be to you know increase our revenue, reduce our expenses. Our goal is to seek efficiencies and reductions in our district operating co-op costs. But in doing so, we need to
007make sure that we're not cutting anything out for students. We need to make sure that we engage all our students and all the district priorities. So on the right hand side here, I have here what are some of the district priorities, right? Our priority is to engage, equip, empower each mount student to achieve their chosen chosen pathway. So we have the pillars there student achievement founders community partnerships and facility and fiscal responsibility. So we look look a lot at fiscal responsibility as being key focus. We have to be careful that we don't overcompensate um and cut things that are going to erode the other pillars student achievement um engagement and community partnerships. That student achievement one is is really important. Um our vision of the district is up there. Students who graduate with an excellent
008education, experiences of impairment, become productive members of society, ready to assume responsibility for their own success in the workforce, college, community and life. and our mission to maximize diverse talents aspirations of students to prepare to assume responsibility for their own success in the workforce, college, community, and life. So, we want to make sure that we are as we look at the budget and reduce things, we're not cutting programs, we're not cutting staff, that's going to impact the ability for for the district to be able to meet um its goals and to serve all of our students and provide the best education possible. So that's be very very thought out process when it comes to you know if we need to make reductions in programs or staffing let's say we need to have data to do
009that and show that these are reductions that make sense that it's not going to drastically impact students. So let's look at what that plan looks like the next five years things that we are planning to look at as a district. One is our instructional staff projections. Uh tier four eligible retirements. We know right now that we have 12 staff members who are eligible in the next five years to retire. Does not mean they will retire. There's no guarantee, but it means they're eligible to retire. And when you have staff that are on the top of a salary scale retire, often times you're getting rehired with staff at a lower pay scale. That does save the district money and something that we are looking at to look at. But again, there's no guarantee with that in
010terms of uh when people will retire. There are some projections there that could save the district uh money and salary benefits etc. Uh we know our cost per pupil tends to be on the higher side across the county and cost across neighboring schools. Uh recent data 31,179 is the rent county average for Linds spending per pupil is 47,433. So, as I mentioned in previous previous presentations, the question is why, right? In my first year superintendent, that's something that stood out to me. Why is our cost per high and are we getting the best possible education for our students with that type of expenditure? So, one of the things that we the district has begun already to do is a special education program. Special education um costs tend to be one of the big cost drivers
011in a budget. And so we're going to look at our special education program to make sure it's meeting the needs of our students uh and to make sure provide the most efficient and best education possible uh to our students especially in special education services from co services to students who are out of district versus students who are in district. The bottom line is with that review being done we'll have data in hand and then when you have that in hand you can then make informed decisions when it comes to uh staffing a service for our students. So without data uh basically you're just kind of guessing okay guessing you know where a reduction could be or should be and right now we don't have that data hand but is a work in progress that was
012started the last few weeks. So I hope to have that by the fall and be able to uh work with our with our staff to make and the board of education to make decisions. The last one here is facilities. Uh the board has repeatedly talked about our energy costs utility costs. There's some data up there from two years ago, 24 to 25. I just pulled out the heating, electricity costs for the elementary school and the high school only. Does not include transportation, for example. Um, but the utility bill was 289,000 and change for for 2526. The same exact two buildings. Okay, that's through 61. So, it's not a complete year, but through June 1st, $323,84. you see the increase for next year due to rising energy costs. We need to budget an additional 30% for
013next year for energy costs to cover um the rising cost of utility and oil heating costs for 26 27. So you can project those numbers are going to continue to increase. That is a concern um especially when it comes to budgeting and trying to keep money uh where we really want to have it is with students and programs for students. So, one of the things the board has been discussing, we talked about a capital project. Um, we had a vote out to voters in March. Obviously, that was rejected, but we're discussing possibility of another project down the road. In the meantime, until that gets going, uh, one of the things that the district can do right now, and we are starting to do, is there is an opportunity for a grant based on committee feedback
014on energy and options for energy outside of propane. Um there is a fully funded AERTA flex tech study that can be done uh where it's covered by a grant and AERTA will essentially study the district and deter determine whether or not the district is suitable for system. Berlin is on a priority list right now because of our economic status and poverty rate. Uh also because of fact that we currently use fuel. There's a lot of reasons why that why the state identified us as a district that could be a prime candidate for geothermal. So this study can be completed uh by the summertime and at that point it's a grant that we could apply for and possibly receive funding for the geothermal system that we fully paid for uh by by the state if we
015qualify for it. But is a competitive grant we have to apply for and we have to um earn that grant amongst other districts across the state. But right now it's something that we are at least exploring as an option and it would be something full again through grant funding if we would receive it and the likelihood is that that would drastically decrease our energy costs when it comes to heating and cooling for our schools. So something that I further discuss with the community as an option and then and then moving forward as well we will be revisiting likely a post project in the future with the board. So those are three areas right now that uh we're looking at when it comes to the next five years from staff uh to our foster pupil and
016facilities. The budget revote is on June 16th uh here at the middle school high school. Um, it's going to be from 12 to 900 pm. Thank you to our booster club who's sponsoring a chicken barbecue, our fire director, Candy Hudson, the athletic um athletic department is hosting barbecue. There's a QR code there. There's there's posters that we go out for the community. Please come out. Please order chicken dinner. support an important cause with our athletic program and please partake in our budget vote in cafeteria from 12:00 to 9:00 p.m. on June 16th. That is the end of our presentation. Questions? Thank you. Does any of the board have any questions regarding the the budget? >> I just have one question for Is this just reducing our contingency level? Like why is it the budget goes
017down every single line of the budget. Our budget is one page and we look at all of our kitchenes across the budget and reevaluate them for any information that has changed since the time we built it. The board approved it in April and here we are in June. So things change along the way. Thank you to the PTA for their hopefully settled contract. I was able to go back and look at all the actuals and that was very helpful to budget. Thank you. Um some of our retirees came off of our insurance or people we did not yet know were going to retire and retire to make those adjustments. Those were some of the bigger ones. But also, yes, reducing some of the contingencies with the information new information we have to make sure we're
018comfortable where we are. Thank you. Any additional questions before we talk budget and I'm sure you'll put out the same information on our website for people to review prior to yes. Thank you. We need to adopt All right. Resolve that the operating budget in the amount of 26,351,128 as proposed by the board of education and be adopted for the school fiscal year 2026 through 2027 and the levy of taxes be assessed therefore in accordance with the law. Um 26,351,120. >> Make a motion. >> Motion by Frank. A second. >> Second by Elaine. Kim, how do you vote? >> Yes. >> Elaine, >> yes. >> Annie, >> yes. >> Derek, >> yes. >> Rebecca, >> yes. >> Greg, >> yes. And I'm a yes. At this time we will move on to public comment. Samantha Colbert,
019our educator, teachers union, co-president. I wanted to speak again today to share with the voting community some data regarding the teaching faculty here. There's been some inaccurate information out there regarding how there are indeed cuts to be made to teachers. So, I'm here to list the reasons why that is absolutely false. Just two school years ago, VTA had 92 members. We now have 78 this year. A reduction of 14 faculty members that were cut, retired, or voluntarily left where the positions were not refilled or currently vacant. Right now, our elementary class sizes are larger than they were before. And unless we want to have 35 students in class, there is nowhere to cut there. Right now, multiple BDES classrooms are maxed in terms of space with over 20 students in their classrooms. Right now, the
020behaviors students are exhibiting in school require more staff than we have to maintain a safe environment for all. Right now, our elementary speech and MTSS intervention teachers are maxed out with seeing eight or nine different groups a day. Right now, our counseling staff K through 12 is spread paper thin, overrun with duties others districts do not require of them, plus a large load of students with increasingly severe mental health needs. There are not enough hours in the day for all they are tasked to do. Right now, we have open positions for an ENL teacher, a counselor school site, a sixth grade ELA teacher, a third grade teacher, and speech teacher. positions we need to find and some that have been vacant for a while or hard to secure in the past. Right now, we don't
021have an elementary librarian. Right now, out of 38 instructional faculty at the middle high school, we have 15 teachers who teach some kind of additional six assignment because we don't currently have enough staff to cover all the sections we need to offer, which often is intervention classes for students who are struggling, not just some random electives. 38% of our middle school high school staff teach extra because we don't have enough people. Now, right now, 100% of our middle school high school teaching faculty teaches more than three different courses. 100%. When other school districts have it in their contracts recommending not to teach more than three and we're doing all of it. We have recently lost good quality teachers and counselors to these other districts because their workload is significantly lighter elsewhere. Right now we have
022teachers teaching sections of classes that aren't their specialty or even in their certification area because of lack of staff. Right now we are not providing AIS services in all subjects for students who have failed regions exams. Right now there are duties not being covered at the middle high school because there simply are not bodies to put in there. Right now, we have dedicated teachers who are also coaches, club adviserss, and the main providers of school events that the community appreciates. So, where from our already empty cup would you like to pull from? Because unless the voting community would like to have larger class sizes for their kids, cuts to programs they love, cuts to opportunities for our kids, cuts to classes that help them catch up in their academics, then cutting any more teachers than
023what we have already done in the past two years is not a viable option. Thank you. >> S, could you email that to the board, please? Absolutely. Sandy comes in. >> Thank you, Sam. Um, I'm also speaking to the community and encouraging you to support this modest, wellthoughtout, and collaborative budget. The board, administration, faculty, staff, parents, and community members must work together to stabilize our school district and earn trust again among each other. Just because we do not agree on some things doesn't mean we disagree on everything. A good first step is to give all stakeholders the benefit of doubt that decisions are being made for the benefit of students. I was not happy and I am not happy with how some of my friends and decadel long colleagues have left. Some because they felt
024the working environment was too toxic. They were asked to leave their position outsourced or they simply felt unappreciated. It still bothers me. It bothers me that in addition to reduction of teachers last year, we lost very good teachers to more stable districts. However, a contingency budget will not give us the desired result and will not write any real or perceived wrong. It will do nothing to change the decisions of the past. A contingency budget will give us less poor selections, less advanced classes and electives. A second failed budget will potentially eliminate art, music, athletics, clubs, and committees. A contingency budget will mean larger class sizes and less classroom support. This is not a threat. This is a fact. A no vote will have a negative impact on each and every one of us in one
025way or another. Three years ago, it became abundantly clear that our district was in dire straits with more than a $5 million deficit. Board members, past and present, superintendents Dr. Long and now Mr. O, Sherry Fischer, and now Colleen Mills and all of the units, CSEA, ETA, and BA, as well as district employees, worked extremely hard to absorb what we could and watch the difficult choices being made. We lost many good people, but we did power through and we did our jobs. Despite what some say, the district does have a plan. Since 2024 25, the deficit has shrunk from more than 5 million to 1.8 8 million. During my tenure in this district, I have never witnessed a level of collaboration between board, administration, teachers, and staff. Our art and music departments feel supported by
026their principles. The middle high school does feel supported when behavior missions arrive, and we are working together toward more behavioral support at the elementary school, which we know so desperately needed. So, I end where I began and implore you to support the proposed budget so we can continue the good work of giving our students an excellent education through a variety of classes, clubs, counseling, sports, activities in a stable, predictable, and secure environment. Thank you, >> James Taylor Shaw. Hello, my name is James Taylor Shaw. Your students know me as Mr. Shaw. I'm a school counselor here at Berlin for grades six through nine. Before that, I was at the elementary school. I'm speaking tonight on behalf of Berlin counseling staff in regards to the student assistance counselor position. I want to make it clear that
027Miss Dagner did not ask me to speak for her and I chose to do so after hearing misinformation regarding Miss Davner's position during the budget meeting last week. Miss Dagaber joined our team about halfway through last year with a big job to do. She had to fill the shoes of the incredible Miss Jill Augustine who had been here for over 10 years. Miss Dagger was quick to jump right into action eager to build relationships with the students and the staff in our building. The students assistance counselor role is different from that of a school social worker, school counselor, or school psychologist. Miss Davner teaches classroom lessons to every student in grades six through nine about not only substance use, but preventative topics such as healthy friendships, relationships, how to be a positive peer role model,
028goal setting, and social emotional regulation. As part of her role, Miss Danner assesses students for her case load for prevention and intervention counseling, many of whom she sees for multiple visits. Some of these students are admitted for bi-weekly counseling for the school year. Miss Der also does teen intervene, which is a multi-session drug intervention program that can be delivered for cannabis, nicotine, or other addictive substances. She goes above and beyond seeing any student that comes into the counseling office in need of support whether they are on our case load or not and jumps in to help with crisis counseling as needed. Miss Der helps the county teach parenting classes which are regularly advertised on our school website. She also runs the school's students against instructor decisions club SAP which works to encourage smart decision making
029and is a part of promise which happened this past week. She has been a presence at Fall Fest, Holiday Fest, and the Wellness Fair, sharing information about Winsler County mental health does for our community. Many of these contributions are specific to Miss Der's role as student assistance counselor and her unique skill set. As a requirement of the first year in her role, the county did require Miss Downer to be out of the building on occasion. February 3rd, 2026 marked Miss Derer's one-year mark with rent for county, which means she will be in the building more. And when Miss Gner has to leave the building, it often is just for a couple hours at the end of it. Her inerson staff meetings that she will be required to attend happen every other Wednesday from 2 to
0303:30. She will still have some required professional development. Though now that she has been with the county for more than a year, this will be much less. Let's be real, our community, as lovely as it is, is one that's riddled with poverty, trauma, and addiction. And we have barely any mental health support that is accessible for our families. Miss Davner is an integral part of our counseling team. She brings the knowledge and the training regarding substance use to our school building which desperately needs it. Also, Miss Davner has established relationships with students in our building to the point where students regularly ask to see her even if someone else in our office might be available for them. Losing Miss Der even during part of the week would have a negative impact on our school community
031at large. But most importantly, it would have a negative impact directly on the students and counseling staff, neither of which were consulted or war regard. >> I'm Rachel. I'm the school psychologist at elementary. Um, but I do spend time at the middle high school as a CS 54 chairperson and I work with our mental health team regularly as part of the suicide prevention team among other teams. Um, I want to share some information about the potential impact of cuts to mental health services, whether it be our student assistance counselor position or any other potential impacts if we were to go to contingency budget. I also would like to note that while I'm speaking on behalf of our mental health staff, including Miss Davner, this is not at staff's request. As Mr. Shaw shared one source
032of impact on our students would be reduction or elimination of the student assistance counselor which would require the remaining mental health staff at middle high school to divide up their staff's case load. In addition to this I want to make sure that the community is aware we're currently looking to fill a mental health vacancy due to the resignation or high school psychologist excuse me a little nervous um as of the end of this year. In order to best ensure that we can fill this vacancy we posted for either a school psychologist counselor or school social worker. Uh depending on who we hire to fill the vacancy will have implications for case load members in one or both buildings. Uh there's a significant chance that my responsibilities will become districtwide which could cause me to reduce
033my case load to a very small number due to my need twice as much time in order to complete initial CPS cse evaluations and reevaluations share meetings prek through 12th grade and complete other responsibilities to my role. A combination of reduced hours from a staber in addition to the potential of not having a full-time psychologist at the middle high school with capacity for a substantial case load would have a large impact on counseling availability. Besides mandated attendance teams 504 and student support team meetings, the mental health staff in this building are already currently tapped out of the current full-time staff. Mrs. Foley, our school social worker who currently works four days at the middle high school and one day with us at ES is at capacity for counseling. for her time being split each week
034next year. Depending upon who we hired, Mrs. Poy would not be able to pick up a full-time staff easily with one day's worth of time per week. Mrs. Bully is also pulled quite frequently to assist with drug assessments and crisis counseling and sees over a dozen students who do not have mandated counseling services but need mental health support. She also runs our helping hands backpack program at the middle school, including ordering and pickups, food banking, as well as coordinating holiday gifts, winter coats, school supplies, and free closet. Miss Caldwell, the grade 10 through 12 school counselor, has a number of responsibilities unique to her role as a school counselor at Berlin. She coordinates services and learning program, APAB, and PSAT testing, organizing scholarship opportunities for students to ensure students are on track to graduate through
035credit checks and student meetings, coordinates the top 10 dinner, FS night, financial aid night, and academic awards night. leads course selection reputations as a federal court case manager provides individual and small group counseling and is often called voice assessments and crisis counseling among many other things. Mr. Shaw, the sixth through nth grade school counselor, is a 504 case manager, provides classroom lessons, individual and small group lessons, does mandated 504 and IE counseling, attends middle school team meetings, helps with course selection presentations to students and the community, helps with test proctoring, and has also quite often for threat assessments, crisis counseling, and restorative mediations between students and or staff. I want to point out that Miss Mr. are already going above the bounds of the role of the school counselors at the secondary level by providing
036maintain mandated counseling as well as longerterm non mandated counseling sometimes for the school year. Regarding the student assistance counselor responsibilities which would potentially be redistributed should matter hours be reduced or cut. Our school counselors are not certified or trained in substance abuse counseling. We have a substantial number of students and families in our district who have been impacted by substance abuse. and worked with many of these families and see the ongoing and cyclical nature of these issues. I know that we are not in a good spot finally right now, but I encourage community to think about the value of having support available right here at school in an area where we are so far from the resources and many families are not able to access support outside of school for their kids. Our student assistance
037counselor is priceless in providing prevention and interventions to break the cycle. Speaking to the broader possibility of contingency budget should the proposed budget fail. In recent years we have higher than usual turnover rate among service staff. While this includes two retirements and one layoff, this also includes resignations from a social worker, a school counselor, and two school psychologists in the last three years. Our staff were impacted by burnout caused by working with high need students and families often in crisis while also diligently continuing to carry out the state of duties of our roles. Classroom lessons, career counseling that could go on. I know I mentioned a lot of things I could go on and on. Um we lose additional staff unfortunately for the next couple years which can in turn contribute to more turnover which
038further impact students and families. I encourage the community to consider the full scope of support our students access at school when you make decisions regarding our budget. Our students depending on us Karen I hope ask me to come here and speak at her behalf. So this is written by Kate. Dear members of the Berlin community, as voters prepare to make an important decision about the future of our school district, we ask you to consider the direct impact the contingency budget will have on the students of Berlin Elementary School. Over the past three years, Berlin Elementary has already experienced significant budget reductions and the loss of teaching positions. At one time, we were able to provide three classrooms at every grade level. Today, we have been reduced to two classrooms per grade level with the exception
039of second grade. These staffing reductions have resulted in larger class sizes, creating challenges for both students and teachers. Larger classes mean less opportunity for individualized and small group instruction, which is critical for meeting the diverse learning needs of our students. Teachers are also seeing an increase in classroom behavioral challenges, making it even more difficult to provide the support every child deserves. If this district is forced to operate under a contingency budget, the consequences for our students could be devastating. Programs and services that are not staying mandated may be subject to elimination including kindergarten, preK, MTSS, which is multi-tered system supports and services, art, music, band, after school enrichment programs, drama club, art club, more sports. These programs are not extras. They are opportunities that help students discover their talents, build confidence, develop creativity, strengthen social
040connections, and foster a love of learning. They enrich the educational experience, and contribute to the growth of the whole child. The students of Berlin Elementary deserve more than the bare minimum. They deserve access to the programs, services, and support systems that help them succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. As educators, we see firsthand the difference these opportunities make in the lives of our students every day. We respectfully ask our voting community to consider the lasting impact agency budget would have on the children of Berlin Elementary School and on the future of our community as a whole. Your vote is an investment in our children, our schools, and our future. Thank you for your consideration and continued support of Brooklyn Elementary School. Sincerely, KS Is it possible everyone? >> No, I mean on the website both next
041week they're not here videos but they can read these comments and we'll post them on our website. Maybe you could add them to the board docs that if they submit them or >> they're willing to have their public comments published and put on our website. This is what happened here tonight hearing very powerful comments. I think the public needs to read it for a lot of people. I can put it on the budget page if that's something you'd like me to do. People want to submit it. >> Share your comments. Very powerful. Read it. Can I speak to I just want to see if there's any additional public comment. Um well, I'm just um going back to the um reducing the uh the counselor to three days a week. I was going to say this
04213,244 something like that. >> Yeah, I'm sorry. It's there's there's discussion with the county regarding what schedule look how the frequency and I had a meeting the other day to hash out some of the things to try to provide services as efficiently as possible with the amount of time that individual district so I can't say for sure three days it would less than that but that's it's something still looked and also the case number >> right now the case was in last week >> that's that was officially what I was told and then we got some different numbers that don't seem to match up Dave and I in the meeting so there's further data that we need also to show that that it's the best taxpayer money in terms of what what they provided for
043the number of hours here. So without going public I just want to share with you publicly confidential community in terms of someone just trying to gather more information. We really want to understand better the goals of the of the district today. We understand what the goals are and make sure we're able to assess that based on what the expectations are. That's something that both I definitely expectations we should have here how to work together to make sure the position is best for our students. Um so that being said, you know, in terms of an induction, it could be plus could be three days. I don't I don't believe it's that much. I don't I don't know for sure until we we hear back information from the other side. >> It's very Yeah, it's very it's
044very concerning. I mean, just bring that back to the board. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I would say right now This schedule is not by this group. That's that's I mean first level that was not here was not here by this group and there are different reasons for that detail but that's that's happening. So we're looking at ways that we can more efficiently reduce the use of the resource schedule that are outside the district as well. >> Yeah, sounds like it's a red county position or something first year as well first year. There's there's a lot of that outition too. So a lot of us understand better what the expectations are for county side and legisation. I'm here first year but Dave's been here now a couple years now and I would say not a lot
045of us were really clear. So I guess communication piece on both sides that we just need both that we understand that and then they'll assess it information. So we have to do that once we hear back. Any additional board comments? Okay, we have the public hearing next Tuesday, June 9th in this auditorium at 7:15. We have our regular board meeting which will be Tuesday, June 16th which is the same date as the code in this building which is one of the reasons why we moved the vote to this building. So be in two one spot two locations in the building but one spot. Um that I get a motion to motion by Frank. A second by Rebecca. All in favor? I. Any oppos?
