002So, there is action number 3.1A, a resolution to adopt amendment to van transportation agreement with Buckeye Logistics and Transit LLC. Member Larose. Yes, I move to adopt addendum to van driver transportation agreement with Buckeye Logistics and Transit LLC, which is the providing written notice to vendor no less than 90 days and changing that to 60 days prior to the agreement's expiration date. I'm sorry, I should have asked for a second. >> [laughter] >> Second. It's been so moved so moved and seconded. Is there any discussion? Member Hall. Um just a quick question on this addendum. Um so, we're moving it from 60 days to 90 days, is that correct? Or we're moving it from 90 days to 60 days to um to renew the contract or to have a discussion? Attorneys. I mean, I'm sorry,
003not to renew the contract. I'm sorry. To have that conversation that we had during our committee meeting where um administration spoke with um our two vendors kind of like to renegotiate, to talk about the prices, or is this to terminate their contract? I just want to be clear. Can you turn it Can you I don't know if that's all. So, it's not terminating the contract. Uh member Dziwulski, was there something else you wanted to add? No, that was all. Just explaining what was changing. And basically, what this means is that if we do nothing tomorrow, the contract will non-renew. So, by approving this addendum, it gives us 30 more days to make that decision. Any other discussion? Uh hearing no other discussion, uh all members are prepared to vote.
