THIS IS A, UM, CITIZEN OF A NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY WHO HAD IDENTIFIED AN ABANDONED HOME LOCATED ON OUR MEGA SITE AS A PROPERTY OF INTEREST THAT SHE WAS WANTING TO RELOCATE TO HER PROPERTY, UM, OUTSIDE OF TOWN.
AND WE ORIGINALLY SIGNED A RIGHT OF ENTRY FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO GET A MOVING COMPANY IN THERE, DO THE APPROPRIATE EXPEC, UH, INSPECTIONS AND SUCH.
UM, AND THEN ACTUALLY DID AN, AN EXTENSION OF THAT SO THAT THEY COULD FURTHER THAT DUE DILIGENCE.
UM, AND SO THIS RESOLUTION ALLOWS HER TO ACTUALLY REMOVE THAT HOME FROM THE PROPERTY.
UH, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS ITEM WOULD, WOULD BE APPROVING.
KAREN, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? UM, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
I'M TRYING TO PULL IT UP RIGHT NOW.
BUT, UM, ON THE RIGHT OF ENTRY AND REMOVAL OF THE BUILDING NUMBER 1, 2, 3, NUMBER FOUR, UM, IT SAYS THE REMOVER IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE CORPORATION WITH AT LEAST FIVE, AND THEN IN PARENTHESES IT SAYS THREE BUSINESS DAYS NOTICE.
SO I WAS JUST HOPING TO UPDATE THAT.
UM, AND THEN ALSO IT TALKS ABOUT HOW, UH, SOMEWHERE IN HERE THAT WE'RE LIABLE OF HAVING A HUNDRED OR A MILLION DOLLAR LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR THAT.
AND I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT OR IS SHE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT LIABILITY INSURANCE? IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, YOU CAN, UM, TABLE US AND MOVE TO MOVE IT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION, UM, AND MOVE IT TO AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION IF YOU'D LIKE.
YEAH, I JUST HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

UM, I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF INVOICES THAT GO BACK AND FORTH AND SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE COULD BE UM, SOME BACKUP TO IT, SOME BACKUP FOR LIKE, UM, SOME OF THE LINE ITEMS SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT, WHAT OUR MONTHLY BUDGETS ARE AND STUFF.
SO WHAT I CAN START DOING UM, IS IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST IN PARTICULAR, THERE WERE NO CHECKS CUT, BUT GOING FORWARD, UM, I CAN INCLUDE IN YOUR FINANCIAL REPORT WHEN THERE'S A CHECK CUT, THE INVOICE BACKUP TO IT SO YOU CAN THE ENTIRE BOARD, NOT JUST THE SIGNERS CAN START SEEING IT, YOU KNOW, ITEMIZED DETAIL ON THOSE.
AND THEN ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A DISCUSSION FOR HERE, BUT UM, I'D LIKE TO REVIEW PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES WHEN A CHECK IS CUT OR WE GET AN INVOICE JUST SO THAT WE HAVE SOME LIKE BACKUP AND WE HAVE UM, UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE PAYING AND LOOKING AT WHEN WE GET IT.
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT WE GET IT AND WE DO GET BACKUP LIKE DAY
[00:10:01]
OF, BUT IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO HAVE SOME BACKUP PRIOR TO DAY OF JUST SO THAT IF WE DO HAVE QUESTIONS, WE'RE NOT SITTING UP HERE LIKE FEELING A LITTLE BIT PRESSURE TO SIGN THE CHECK 'CAUSE WE KNOW THAT THAT PERSON NEEDS TO GET IT AND ALL THAT.SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHERE I ASK THAT, BUT, UM, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROCESS WITH THAT.
JUST SO WE HAVE AN UNDER, JUST SO WE HAVE AN UNDER BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS THAT'S SO NEED TO DO FOR US.
AS SOON AS I GET THE INVOICES I'LL FORWARD THEM OUT TO THE BOARD FOR REVIEW.
SO YOU ALL HAVE AWARENESS? YEAH, MAYBE JUST IN OUR PACKET.
