Um, and then as of as of 7:00, Lindell had 308 voters, East had 346, and Leo had 117. That was as of 7 p.m. contest anyway. Yeah. Yeah. I just sate more discouraged when they don't come out to the budget. $155 million. A lot of money. that we're all contributing mostly. Yeah. That's the scariest part. [Music] It is true. Plus the uh was the library seat an open seat. There was one and a woman named, excuse me, Ana Schmidt Musk was running close. Mhm. Seats on the Yeah. That's probably part of the reason why it's so low. But the budget is the more important, right? Of the Yes. budgets
002and then also the capital expenditures capital. Yes. You okay, Liz? I'm good. Just ripping them away. Where did you travel this week? She's in Tennerefi, just off the coast of Spain. She's uh with her whole family. So, she's nice. Yeah, she's got a Patricia graduated and they took a family vacation, which I haven't seen her do in the 10 years that I'm here. So, I'm happy for her.

003that's fun. So, we were up at 3:30 in the morning buying meat. So might be by tonight just on my way back. Have you done that before with him? Do it every Tuesday. Oh, you do it every Tuesday. That's got to be fun. It's up to you. I guess that's the least I can do. Oh, no. I was saying, did you want to start without That's a good idea. Yeah, it's been a long day. I have to go to the schools and the ebooks. You have to get what? Ebooks from the schools cuz I don't I can't feed them in the gyms, you know. I can help you. All right. So, is it easier if I read them out to you? You want to wait until I'm done and I can Well, maybe we should
004do it like that cuz this way this way we know that we're marking them, right? All right. Okay. [Music] It is. I actually don't feel too bad. No. Yeah. I'm surprised. Yeah. I mean, it was pretty easy. Easy election for my first. I was just for your first. That's a good Michael and Jen are calling superintendent. Is that what they're going to do? Jen is going to right here to Leo Middle School. Michael's going to East and Jan is going to Lindell. I look who they call. Okay. Yes. Yes. Sorry. In case you're ever asking my 18 years as school board trustee what my most significant achievements are. First rate the first hitting ceiling fans in Mandela. huge. Oh yeah. Second was to decrease the number of polling sites from 73. I wanted just one.
005I wanted one of them because who am I to have them come all the way to vote on the budget? But this is just a perfect validation of why we don't need seven. Right. Right. Right. Right. But also they're voting on the budget like that money is paying for those polling centers and the people and the balance and you know you can cut cost cut costs you know especially if they're not instructional right right so that's and second was moving the wall of fame from every year to every other year that was a big one because you had people that weren't deserving being nominated They didn't. Oh wow. So now it is every other year. Okay. Hope this stuff will be made out every two years. It's a lot of [Music] money and all that.
006need some years to uh actually get the people to be deserving of the welcome. [Music] There's a district law with coaching standards. Was that supposed to be It was okay. Michelle is uh starting to get them out on district calls because uh more viewership, you know, when they're just on everybody used to have to go to the office for everything, but with email and everything being electronic, they don't go into the office as much to go see a posting. So, we're trying to get them sent out electronically because most people read their email. [Music] I had one um election worker over at Liddell. She is Yeah. She I don't know how we got on the subject but she asked me if I was Irish and I said yeah you know I said my grandfather's name

So, she gave me the history on that. Really? Then, um, she gave me the history of how Irish Day started in Long Beach. Oh, a plethora of information. And I'm assuming navigator. Yeah. I'm I'm assuming she's Irish herself because every time I've seen her, she's got like green cardigan and shamark earrings on. I think that's a pretty good guess. Yeah. How many people have requested position for watches full of workers? Well, I send out I do like a mail merge and I I have a list from the prior year that I used and I send out the invite, you know,
008and um yeah, I mean, we had a lot of them do the full day, you know, they don't really need AM and PM shifts. So, hello. How we doing? Good. I'm good.
