Treasure island, i understand you have an exemption for the residence. On an island that has one access point to toll businesses, or anyone on Treasure Island is unacceptable. These businesses, vendors, will not go to their businesses if they are having to pay tolls. The businesses have employees who cannot pay tolls.

Review this count and ensure that its not stale. So eventually through the process of usdoj recommendations implementation, we may have discovered actually we have to change a policy to do this one thing, even though the recommendation doesnt necessarily call out that theres specifically a policy change that needs to happen. But there may actually be a resulting change that needs to happen from the work of starting the implementation of a particular recommendation.
