007it before we take the motion said much so you yeah this would be a transition from Brickley delom to Raymond Robson the cost is approximately the same between the two once we work out um every all the VAR variable costs for Brickley um and it makes sense for us as a business office because that's who we also use at Fruitport so we can just knock out the audit in one sitting um and it would just make everything more uniform from one audit to the next for us and with that said I move to uh approve the fiveyear agreement with Rond as our new a okay we have a motion and a second any questions for either Ben Jess Mark me okay hearing none uh all those in favor of Rob Raymond Robson for auditor please
