On this matter and also to give you the opportunity to talk. I know that you have been watching by your bedside over time as this dialogue has happened over the past few weeks. I want to give you an opportunity to speak about it. I know there has been confusion and different statements about what would happen if we didnt pass these rate increases. I think it would be great to give you the at some point to speak about this. Also, its great to see you doing well. Its yat to have you back. Catherine dodd, intermittent medical leave.

I want to thank you for attending the board meetings and all the members of the board of supervisors.
