Okay, we'll call the November 10th, 2025 council meeting to order. Please rise for the pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all. [clears throat] >> [snorts] >> I'll make a motion to adopt the agenda. >> I'll second. >> Uh we'll need to pull item C underneath the uh >> G1 city >> C underneath the city administrator >> G1C. >> So we need to amend that into the motion. >> So are we deleting it? Is that what you're saying? >> Yeah. Yeah, we're pulling it. >> I'll make a motion to pull item C under city administrator. >> We need to you need to make the motion to adopt the agenda pulling that. >> Oh, I I'll make a motion to adopt tonight's agenda and pull item C under the city administrator. Second. >> Okay, we have a motion in a second. All in favor? I I >> opposed. None. Or >> I thought you wanted two separate motions. I'm like, what are you? >> Uh item 4 A. Uh Mr. Mayor and Council, uh we have before you here a public hearing for delinquent utility charges on um the date was set for today for a public hearing for individuals wishing to object to delinquent charges being collected through the assessment process under our code chapter 74 section 74-126b provides for the collection of delinquent delinquent accounts through the property tax assessment and um this evening would be a uh the public's opportunity to to speak to these uh um charges and if they have objections to uh air those this evening. Otherwise, we would ask uh that we [clears throat] uh set the final list of properties for delinquent charges to be provided to the county auditor no later than November 30th, 2025. And you have these um listed here and uh would stand for questions. >> Okay. So at this time we'll open the public hearing. Anybody needs to speak on this? Any residents that you're part of this? Seeing none, we'll close the public hearing part of it. Council discussion. Matt, I'm just kind of curious. Why are the majority up at Whispering Aspen? It's like every year we come here, we got the same thing. Is there something different between there and and uh down on 22 and 65? What is that? [clears throat] >> Yeah. Uh Mr. Mayor and council members, that is an interesting question. One that we do not have an answer for, but happens uh every every time uh for some reason. And um I do know that they pay a little bit more up there to offset some of those costs associated with putting that system in, but not a significant amount more than anyone else. And um and it's just for whatever reason. Uh the lion share of them come from that area. >> Yeah. I'm just curious because you got Wiking Preserve. There's only four and 16 from Whispering Aspen. is like same thing every year, right? >> Well, and I don't understand how they continue to develop buildings, yet the prices never decrease because we keep being told build more, it'll spread the wealth, but the prices continue to increase if nothing else. And I don't understand that because apparently developing isn't working and decreasing the cost for our residents. And the other thing these some of these people are one thou over a,0002,000 $4,000 for a year. That's 10 years. That's 10 to $40,000. They could have multiple septic systems and wells with that kind of money. It's ridiculous. I don't I I'm just baffled. I'm baffled that this room is not full of people complaining about their water bills. [clears throat] >> Uh Mr. Mayor and Council, what I will say in response to that is it is based on usage. So if you leave, for example, a toilet running uh and don't fix that, you would be amazed at the amount of water that gets wasted. [clears throat] Um, and I would say that our water rates are probably not out of line of other communities in terms of in terms of the cost to operate the system. You're operating in cost and then also in terms of your replacement cost eventually uh for these systems. I mean it's uh utilities are not inexpensive. Um, and even if you have your own well or um an septic system, you are well aware of the costs associated with that too. I mean, you can't pump a system without hundreds of dollars these days. Um, if you have to replace a well pump, it's thousands of dollars. If you have to replace a system, u you're into the 20s to $40,000. I mean, it's it utilities are expensive. Um, replacing them even more expensive. Could you explain to me one thing? I have heard that uh kind of what um Councilman Urkl has said. [clears throat] When you have a development, as the houses go in and you fill it up, that decreases the cost to the residents who have already bought houses in that development. Is that how that works? I can maybe have Nate speak to that, but I would I would say that in a given development when you are running the numbers to determine how many houses are going to be built and how much your system costs, you're kind of anticipating a buildout. In this particular uh development or the lion share of these in this development we're speaking about in Whispering Aspen, uh it has taken 20ome years to build this out or to get to where we're at today. So I would say from a um from the standpoint of [clears throat] you know when you're doing your analysis of putting a system in cost X amount and so many people are going to help pay in and 50 years from now you're going to have to replace all these lines. You're you're not assuming that it's going to take 20 to 30 years to build up that account. Um so uh but you still have you are still going to be ultimately responsible for that shall we call it a continuity cost of replacing that system. So again I I don't know that these prices would reflect that delay. Um but uh but it's probably uh established based on the initial estimates and followed through on what people were told initially when they when it first went in. My hope is that there will be enough dollars in there to replace a system when when you have to replace it. >> Any further discussion? Need a motion on the resolution. [clears throat] I'll make a motion to approve resolution number 2025-59, final certification of delinquent charges for collection with 2026 property taxes. >> Second that motion. >> Motion and a second. All in favor? >> I opposed. None hurt. Okay. Item 4B. >> Uh Mr. Mayor and Council, on the advice of our U city engineer, we have a storm water pollution prevention program annual meeting that we need to conduct here. Uh, and this is essentially uh a storm water uh how we handle storm water in our city. We have various different strategies here to include street sweeping inspection approximately 20% of the city storm water basins annually hosting city programs such as cleanup days uh conducting this annual meeting and developing educational materials and anytime we find uh discharges that are not appropriate, we try and follow up on those. Um, but we need to conduct this public hearing to get the public's input uh as to what ideas they may have for a city storm water pollution prevention program. And um and to conduct this public hearing would meet [clears throat] that requirement annually. And uh and then once once approved, we can we can submit this um program u to to the state and uh and go from there. >> [clears throat and cough] >> So, we just this is anformational item right now, right? >> Just open up another public hearing and if there's anyone that wants to speak to it. >> Okay. At this time, we'll open up a public hearing to the public. Anybody wants to speak on this issue? Seeing none, we'll close that part of the public hearing. Council discussion. >> Well, I have a question. Have we ever done a cleanup day in East Bethl? I don't recall any. I think that's a great idea. I'm just wondering, have we done one and it wasn't advertised well or what? Depends what you consider a cleanup day because street sweeping perhaps. >> Recycling does it once a month. >> Well, recycling days are not cleanup days. >> The cleanup day that's required is is the recycle day. We do it once a month. >> Oh, >> no. We It used to be once a year. We did one We used to do two. One at at the uh citywide one at the recycle center or it was actually at the ice arena and then one we did one down at Crim Beach. Now we do one a month. Uh the Lions and the East Bandits do all that work for us as volunteers. So yeah, that meets that requirement for the state for that. >> Oh, because in my mind a cleanup day is people walking up down the sides of the road picking up gar. >> Yeah, we do have that with the highway department and we do have a adopt a park program where groups go through our parks and do that too separately. But yeah. >> Oh, that's good. Okay, thank you. Any further discussion on this? >> We need We all need a motion on this. >> I do not believe we do now. Just >> meeting. >> Moving on to the public forum. Is there anybody signed up [clears throat] over there? >> Jacob. >> Jacob signed up. Okay, first one on here is Elizabeth. I can't understand how to pronounce the last name. Huh? >> Growski. >> You're speaking for both of you? >> Yeah, I'm >> okay. >> My name is John. John, >> please state your name, address. >> My name is John Gowski. Uh, address 1 19534 West Triarch Circle Northeast. Um, thank you for the time tonight. Um, my my uh family has been uh living on Lake um for uh for 30 years. We my grandfather bought the property we live in in 1950. We love living here, made it our home, take a lot of pride in uh uh taking care of our property and uh and and living where we do. Um [clears throat] over the reason we're here is over over the last two years. Um the quality of our life has has changed drastically, specifically due to the short-term parental property next door to us. The amount of people and activity that uh can uh congregate uh each week has made us feel unsafe and it's uncomfortable even for us to have our own family and friends over to our to our property uh for visitors. The home is uh being marketed and used as a commercial event center, weddings, bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, reunions, golf outings, all types of gatherings that usually involve music, drinking, gathering are happening every week. Strange people show up. At least a dozen cars and 15 to 25 people show up next to us. Um, and it's it's it's getting it's getting worse for us and it's just really uncomfortable and difficult to live next door to. I don't think anybody here would want to live next door to that. Um, I I contacted the city in 2024 regarding if there was any ordinance or regulations regarding rentals. I found out if there wasn't. Uh I filed a complaint in October of this year um after uh my wife and I were out of town and our daughter called us and said, "I don't know what's going on here, but there was about 50 cars and 100 people in our backyard." Um and there was a wedding going on. Um she felt unsafe, so we told her to lock lock the doors and and just wait it out. If anything happens or somebody stumbles over to our property, call the police. Um we did uh construct a fence um this year to minimize the spillover activity and so we didn't see the activity. I worked with Grace and some of the people here to apply for the fence permit. Um and during that process uh I learned that when you put up things like a fence or apply for a variance, you have to do things that are reasonable. Don't change the character um of the of the neighborhood. um and you know protect the integrity of of the neighbors. And I feel like there should be some ordinance uh or code consistent with that spirit relative to large airb Airbnb or BRBO dwellings that have events, lots of cars and lots of people. >> Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. >> I do have some pictures here [clears throat] that [snorts] are We can keep these for the record. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Right here. Mayor and council, just for your information, this was the topic that we discussed in the work session and um the previous work session and it was my miscommunication with the with the individual that they were going to come and speak at the work session, but I encouraged them to speak this evening. But essentially we're um going through the process of identifying what other cities are have done for ordinances to address these type of concerns. We'll be bringing those forward and um we can notify them as well when that comes forward uh so that u when council considers an action a potential action on this they can be part of that as well. So >> all right thank you. consent agenda. [clears throat] >> I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> Have a motion. Second. >> Second. I'd like to pull item F. >> Anything else needs to be pulled. Item C. Okay. I have a motion and a second uh to approve the consent agenda. Pulling C and F. All those in favor? >> I >> opposed. Okay. Item C. Uh in the minutes of the of the council meeting, uh I'd like it at the end there for my council report to be >> word verbatim. >> Yes, please. you know what they wrote as one sentence and no if you could do that that I'm fine with it after that. It's only a couple sentences but I think they're important. >> Okay. >> Do you have those sentences here? >> I will email them to you. I have them. >> So you'll I'll send them over yet tonight. >> So you want to um table these? >> Well, I don't want to table it. I don't think we should table it. But I just want to prove it with an addition to it. You know, I I I clearly said on there that I appreciate what Derek Peters does. Found out a new understanding of what uh goes on at night around this city with the coverage and police coverage we have. Uh it was a learning experience and uh they do a great job. And all it said was I went on a ride along. So I need that change, please. >> Okay. I still think it's got to come back to be approved. >> Table it. >> Yep. >> I will table I'll make a motion to table it. >> Second. Have a motion and a second to table it. All those favor. >> I >> opposed. >> Item F. IMF is the accepting the res resignation of the city planner. Um, our city planner, Grace Gerard, has submitted her letter of resignation. And I just want to take this moment to publicly thank her for all the all the work that she's done uh since you're hired. You came a very very long way. And uh I I know walking into a position like this that you've never done before, being in the public face and being at meetings and conducting meetings, it is it is can be hard and a large learning experience and I really want to thank you for all of that and I wish you the absolute best of wherever you're going. >> Thank you. Um, and with that, as much as I don't want to, I will approve IMF. >> Second. >> Have a motion and a second. All in favor? >> I. >> Motion passes. Moving on. 7 A1. Good evening, mayor, council. This is a PUD final plan, final plat, and development agreement for Cliffs Anderson Acres. Sherico Construction has applied for the approval of these three items for a three lot subdivision called Cliffs Anderson Acres. The subdivision is located north of 217th Avenue. This is currently one property. It is 20.35 acres. It is zoned and guided rural residential. The properties to the south and west are zoned and guided the same. The property to the north is part of the Gordy Mickelson wildlife management area and the properties to the east are part of a subdivision within Lynwood Township. This property is within the significant natural environmental area overlay. This is an overlay district applied to properties that the Met Council Inoka Conservation District and the DNR have identified as containing significant natural resources that contribute to the health, welfare, and quality of life of East Bethl's residents. This application was brought before you as a PUD preliminary plan and preliminary plat at the September 8th city council meeting. This request is for the approval of three items. The first being the approval of a planned unit development final plan. This is required by section 59 of our zoning ordinance for properties within that environmental area overlay. The purpose of a PUD is to allow flexibility and variation from the code in exchange for higher levels of design, environmental protection, pedestrian access, landscaping, and things like that. Um, the city has a relatively high level of discretion when evaluating a PUD. The PUD must meet the standards in the comp plan and the standards within our zoning ordinance in section 56, which is the section pertaining to PUDS. The packet contains an analysis of each of these standards. Notably, in previous reviews, no conditions pertaining to environmental protection have been recommended for this PUD. The second approval is for the approval of a final plat. Uh there are no significant changes between the preliminary plat approved by you all in uh September and the final plat before you tonight. The city has less discretion when approving a final plat. If it meets the standards established within the subdivision and zoning ordinance and is consistent with the preliminary plat approval, the city must approve the request. Review of these standards has also been included in your packet. The third item up for review tonight is the approval of a development agreement. This is a standard part of a PUD and final PLA approval. Um, pretty standard. Nothing of surprise in there. This is a quick look at the final plat up for approval tonight. Nothing super surprising, super complex in here. It's three lots. Each lot is approximately 6.5 acres. There are no internal streets, no wetlands. You may notice the drainage and utility easements are a bit interesting. Uh, this is just what's required for the storm water uh in this in this area. And these have been approved by the city engineer. staff has found that the proposed PUD and final plat meet the standards established within the zoning ordinance and are consistent with the preliminary approvals. Uh, one thing to note is that this project is not requiring any PUD flexibility. So, um, we're not seeing higher levels of design in exchange for flexibility. Um, everything in here complies with the standards that are within our zoning code and our subdivision ordinance. Um, one thing to consider, um, I've mentioned this during previous meetings, is if you wish to apply conditions because it is a PUD, you you may, um, something that you could consider is environmental protection, things like um, requiring a more stringent uh, tree preservation plan or requiring a certain number of native plantings, but again, these are things that have not been recommended previously. And staff also finds that there's a very limited environmental impact associated with this development. Um, the homes are being built on land that's currently bare. There's a small number of trees being removed for driveways, but really that's a very small number and overall there's a very limited site disturbance. Um, anything else that needs to be resolved um before this plaque gets filed has been added as a condition of approval within the resolutions. Again, these are very standard things, some minor engineering comments, some things that just need to get filed when the plaque gets filed. So, nothing surprising in there. Uh, this was reviewed by the planning commission on October 28th with a public hearing for that PUB final plan. No public comments were received and the planning commission voted unanimously to approve or to recommend approval of the PUD. Uh final plats are not reviewed by the planning commission. So that's why there is no recommendation on that item. Uh the city council is directed to move to adopt the resolution approving the PUD final plan as recommended by the planning commission and move to adopt the resolution approving the final platin development agreement for this development. I'm happy to answer any questions. I'll make a motion to approve resolution number 2025-62 approving the planned unit development for Cliff Sanderson acres for the property described. >> I'll second. >> Have a motion and a second. Any discussion? >> I just want to say I like that they're six acres, six plus acres. >> All right. Again, we have a motion and a second. All in favor? I >> I opposed. >> None heard. >> Make a motion to approve resolution number 2025-63. Resolution approving the final plat and development agreement for Cliff Hills Acres. >> Cliff Anderson. >> Thank you. Cliff Anderson Acres. I have a motion. >> Second. >> And a second. Any further discussion on this one? None. May heard. All those in favor? I >> opposed. None heard. [snorts] And do we got to do the agreement part two or is that was >> Nope. That was part of that final resolution. >> Thank you. Uh moving on to [sighs] city administrator. See if it'll populate here. Okay. Mr. Mayor and Council, um getting to the right page here. Okay. Um on October 27th, council reaffirmed their desire to continue with the acquisition of 1347 Sims Road Northeast. And as part of that acquisition, there are certain uh contracts that are attached and in your packet here that offers us the opportunity to do some due diligence. The appraisal uh being the primary one. Um, and you're reading that correct. It is Guggenberger Appraisal Services, which is uh a relative of Alex Guggenberger, our um our county assessor. Evidently, there's a family um desire to be in property. Uh but at any rate, he um he's offered us an incredible deal. Most appraisal services are around $3,500. He's um agreed to do it for $1,000. Um there was a title commitment and um Council Member Mundle stepped out uh during this part, but that was pulled uh this evening because our um u our attorney has already um gotten a title commitment back in June. So, we don't want to duplicate that. The environmental uh site assessment uh proposal is in there as well for a phase one. Determine if there's any sort of contaminants or or issues on that property. the purchase agreement is there as well and um and then we've included yeah we've included the title commitment but that's uh that's going to be not approved this evening. So um I'm bringing this forward um just in terms of full disclosure of what the costs are associated with uh with some of these contracts. they would they can be approved by myself given their dollar figure but I think given the the nature of this uh of this acquisition that we wanted to bring this forward in case there were any questions make sure everyone's comfortable with it. Uh at any rate um I will stand for questions and [clears throat] if there aren't any we just need a motion to approve G1 uh G1 2 and 4. 8.0 G1. >> I'd like to ask that we do in two separate motions uh for item one and two and then for separate one for item four. >> So mayor mayor wishes there's no more discussion. I'll make a motion to approve item one and two of agenda item G1. Second. >> We have a motion, second. Any discussion? None being heard. All those in favor? >> I >> I >> opposed. None. Item four. >> So, I'll make a motion to approve item four, G4 on the agenda. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second? Second. A motion and a second. Any further discussion? >> I got one question, Matt. When I was reading through the paperwork here, they said that we can take a look at the property and go through it. Can we do that? We set that up. >> If you'd like to do that, we can get that set up. >> Okay. >> I can call the U seller's agent. >> Do we know if anybody's living in the property right now? >> No, >> I don't believe they are. Um, I don't think the septic system is functional, so I think that might create an issue if they were. >> Okay, any further discussion, we have a motion and a second. All in favor? I >> I opposed. I [clears throat and cough] The >> motion passes. Staff report. Mr. Mayor and Council, I do not have any updates this evening for you. Just these items that were covered under the agenda this evening. So, >> okay. Council reports. >> I have a couple items. Um, we have a booster day meeting on Wednesday 6:30 at chambers. Uh, we recently had one of our members, Ricky Schneider, resign. She served many years on it and want to pursue other activities. So, I wish her well. Uh, with that, uh, we're down a couple members on the booster committee. Uh, we need volunteers to make the booster day event happen. If there's anybody that would be interested in this, I I ask that you reach out. You can reach out to me or you can reach out to Stephanie Dorne or you can just show up at the meeting on Wednesday be in the council chambers here Wednesday at 6:30. Um the other item that I have to discuss um with the government shutdown that is now 40 41 days. It's the longest one that's happened. Um there are people affected by it. Uh I did have an individual that lives in the sewer and water district. Uh they haven't had missed their last two maybe three paychecks. Uh they had concerns about paying their water bill. Um, I I would like to propose that for any federal employees that are being affected by the government shutdown that if they can provide ID that they are govern employee that the city would forgive any late fees on their water and sewer bills. um and relate to that uh almost every evening that I've been watching the news in the evening, it talks about uh [clears throat] the the federal workers going to food shelters that food food shelters are being hit really hard right now. Um, I would like to help support our local food shelter, NACE, and if it would be possible, if the city has the power to do it legally, I would like to donate at least $1,000 to our food shelf to help our residents. So, if there's any other ways that any other members would have ideas of how to help these federal workers that are being affected by no fault of their own, I would be open to discussion on that and the items that I presented. >> The government is open now, so they're getting their checks. >> No, it's still being shut down. I just watched the national news tonight that that uh there is a proposal but it has not been prop approved yet. >> I think there's eight of 10 senators that have switched over. >> They voted on Sunday. >> It's open. They just have to get >> Mr. Mayor. I I would ask if um if council wants to do the late fee forgiveness and the $1,000 for there to be a motion. second on that. >> So, so I'd like to make that motion to approve those two items. >> Well, can you make separate motions because I could approve the late fee, but I'm not going to approve $1,000. I'll break it down. Um for first motion to um forgive any late fees that federal employees may occur on their sewer and water bills during the time of the shutdown. >> I'll second that. >> We have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? >> Hearing none. All in favor? I >> I >> opposed. [clears throat] Unard. >> Uh then second motion is to help support the our local food shelter in ACE with if it's legally possible to do so from the city to [clears throat] um donate a $1,000 to NACE to help support them. One time donation. Is it legal to do? >> Sure. Uh, mayor, council, yes, the city can make a donation to food shelves. I will actually on the prior motion, I will need to double check whether the city has the authority to forgive uh utility payments for that purpose. There are certain purposes in which they can, but off the top of my head, I don't know. So, I didn't want to interrupt the the vote with that. >> But the food shelf question, I can affirmatively say you can make that donation. >> Okay. Well, if we can't do the f legally do the first motion, then >> then it just won't happen. >> That's right. I'll just report back and say unfortunately that's beyond the power of the council, but I don't know that for sure. >> It might be possible. >> Okay. And m Mr. Mayor and Council, just for clarification on that, the city will be reactive to those requests and not proactive. Other words, they'll need to contact us if they are unable to pay it and and are in fact a government employee. >> Yes. >> ID would need to be shown. >> Okay. >> Okay. Back to the donation. We have a motion. Did we ever get a second? I'll second it just for discussion. Discussion. >> Well, I'm not going to vote for that because our taxes are already taken out for um people in need. A B I donate food to various different things and I know I know a lot of other people do. So, I don't think it should be double dip from our taxpayers. So, that's why I'm not going to approve this. >> Well, it was just a thought to try to help people in need. So, >> I see. >> Any other discussions? We have a motion and a second. All in favor? >> I >> I opposed. >> I >> I >> Motion Pails. >> Mr. Mayor, what I might suggest is uh just thinking out loud here, we kind of did a trunk or treat thing for the kids and perhaps we can encourage folks to do a kind of a food uh raising, you know, drive-thru type of deal, drop off food. We'd be happy to collect it here and then make sure that Nace gets it. canned food, non-p perishable type of things. >> Yeah, that'd be great. Might be able to do that. >> Yeah. Can we get that on our website and on our big sign up? >> Yep. >> You know, 65. >> Yep. >> We can promote that and then you folks can contact your circles too and >> and try and get as many people to come through and understanding the need and and um try and stock their shelves for them. >> Do you know what their biggest need is? No, >> probably everything. >> Yeah, >> I just know if you donate something like macaroni and cheese, look at the ingredients that you need to go with it. So, if you need milk, add powdered milk to it. If you need um oil, add oil to it. >> Just make sure if you're adding something because a lot of them do not have the extra ingredients. So I I don't know their current needs, but I do know that in the past they have asked for children's items. Diapers. >> Diapers for sure. Always need diapers. >> Okay. Any other council reports? >> Yeah, I do actually. Um I was thinking how the seniors usually have this Thanksgiving drive-thru where but at our last meeting we didn't talk about it. So, um, you just call and reserve a Thanksgiving meal and you drive through. When you said that drive-through thing, it reminded me that we've been doing that for the last couple years. >> Yeah. It's on the 13th. >> Yeah. So, the drive-thru is on the 13th. >> This town hall, >> the town hall is on the 13th. >> Not 13th of December, I think it is. >> Oh, maybe that's maybe I'm thinking Thanksgiving. I know that Dallas had a sign up deal down at station last Friday. I got the >> date. So, it's coming up where the seniors have this drive-thru where you can call in and reserve a meal, a free meal. Um, we did have the senior Halloween dance and um it was pretty well attended, so we were happy about that. Then it would then followed by the trunk or treat, which we had a pretty good turnout. I know we had way more kids come through here than I get at my house. So, it was great. I love seeing the costumes. I took some pictures. Um, I won't post any of the pictures because without parents permission, but it was great. Um, we do have the town hall this week and I'm hoping that we have a good turnout from the planning commission and the road I always want to say roads commission, the planning commission and the parks commission. And I'm hoping for more information. The [snorts] community has been asking me, well, are there going to be any information on all the developments? So, if we can get any information on developments that are going on, that's one of the things they've asked for. Um, and I wanted to mention the East Bethl Bulletin. I just got it this last weekend and I don't understand how it would take so long. It everything was due September, the first week of September the 5th or 6th, but we not getting it till the end of November. How is that possible? Well, do we need to get a new printer? Because I can tell you two good printers who could have that stuff out in a week and probably not much difference in cost. So, uh, and the print was a lot smaller than usual, so there must have been a lot more information. I would just I'd like to see him like the the one that St. Francis puts out with a little bit of color. Uh, Forest Lake has color and there's some colored pictures and uh, they are more enthusiastic about their events.
