today's agenda is the uh approval of the minutes uh the minutes are from the uh 86 and 8:13 uh count board Workshop County board meeting and we can approve them individually or collectively Mr chair yes I'll approve those of the minutes for both of them together all right we have a motion by commissioner Dietrich I'll second second by commissioner Holland any further discussion hearing none all in favor say I I oose same sign motion passes unanimous all right today's agenda is anyone want to uh modify today's agenda for further discussion Mr chair I'd like to pull the B1 the agenda just for the not the consent the agenda we're just approving today's agenda if there's anything needs to be added to today's agenda I'm sorry uh nothing all right I'll stand for a motion to approve today's motion to approve the agenda I'll second that all right motion by commissioner detri second by commissioner Holland to approve today's agenda as presented uh any discussion hearing none all in favor say I I close same sign all right agenda is approved unanimously today's consent agenda Comm Mr uh commissioner Shane yeah go ahead and if we could look at um B1 po side and then I had another question on different what I got that answered this morning okay and Mr chair yes I'd like to pull off D1 and D2 um just for a comment all right please Perfect all right uh with that I'll stand for a motion to approve today's consent agenda remaining items I'll make that motion Mr chair all right motion by commissioner catchmark second second by commissioner Holland any further discussion hearing none all in favor say I I I oh same sign all right consent agenda items uh with the removed ones are approved minus remove minus the removed ones all right first item would be B2 the motion to approve transfer of 311,000 1110 for score funding uh commissioner Shane you so I looking at the one not the two oh I'm sorry did I that's okay so I'm just asking to kind of table this pull this forward um I'm looking at the ARP funding of this and for the last year I feel like we've kind of been inundated with these all coming back and forth and going out um very fly or not feverously but very fast furiously um and I'm looking at I want to review this and look through Baker Tilly um not saying that I'm against against everything that but I just feel like I'm trying to get this back kind of under control and we just haven't had enough time to to look at this would that be a possibility review so uh yep so commissioner Shane you're looking to just table this here for uh till next month give you some time to uh do some research on it yes okay um Mr shair aren't these funds already approved that's just just this is just reimbursement funds they they are reimbursements so with the how the process works the they get a pre-approval on their their project and then at that point uh they go forward with their project and then submit receipts on the back end for uh reimbursement uh I think the question was just she wanted to get some understanding of the scope of what what it was was and with itself no with Baker Tilly and how they review this and and that kind of stuff I've had a lot going on with waste wastewater treatment plants and stuff and so I just want to make sure I have a really good understanding of yes I'll second that all right so we we it was a motion you making a motion to table it table it until September 20 when's our next one there well there's two of them in uh September you looking September 24th September 24th okay so you have a motion by commissioner uh Shane to table item uh B1 for the reimbursement of the ARP funds to the September 24th meeting and it was that the second you said yeah okay so there was a second to table the reimbursement of ARP funds uh to for the city of anandale to September 24th further discussion please yes you this you know anadale is in my my district for sure and being that these funds are already approved um and delaying the reimbursement it just it I understand you want to you know get in understand it better on commissioner Shane but I this is typically what we have been doing as we've moved the fun um and once we've gotten receipt so um I I would object to delaying this another month so Mr sh yes just a question is there a process to notify the city because I don't know if we've necessarily done this before but is there a process to notify the city after a meeting like this that we are we have tabled it and and the reasons why I mean staff would have to send that to the city to say hey there was a timeout called because we would want to do that if it passed right either Elizabeth or uh the County Administrator Greg over there would uh send out a correspondence to the city of Anil uh letting him know that the situation will be uh brought back again for a a discussion at the September I believe we're looking at the 24th meeting uh giving uh board members time to uh collect information that they feel necessary to make their final decision and another question how much does does this delay the process of cutting a check maybe Finance is involved in this but if this was approved today how soon does the check actually go out the door versus if we delay it till September how long before it goes out the door until after the next meeting okay well it's pretty hard for me to vote against the commissioner that wants to do more research or anything I'm all for that but I just wanted to make sure we had some correspondence with them and explaining them why you're not getting the check by Friday in this case Mr chair commissioner catchmark staff will make sure that they're notified here as soon as we can after this board meeting to let them know that it's been tabled if that motion is approved to September 24th and further reason stated on the record okay thank you chairman B I'd like to be part of that discussion because um especially with the the baker til piece all right so we're going to use an outside consultant to review this um Mr chair commissioner dedri we actually use Baker Tilly to review all ARP funding and and it hasn't been done yet it has been done it it has been done the grant was approved last year and we don't approve grants until they've gone through the review I'm just not understanding the why we're delaying this I mean if we have all the information Mr chair would it be helpful to put together some summary information about the entire city water sewer program and send that out to the board so um understand Mr chair members of the board if this motion passes staff can work with the projects Administration and get the information that the Commissioners or commission members want to see we can definitely distribute that to everyone whatever is distributed to the first and the second we'll of course get to the rest of the board and I I'll uh getting information if you feel necessary I I will absolutely support that as to same point that uh commissioner cash Mark I support uh being doing due diligence uh so that we have a motion we have a second to uh table off that reimbursement uh for the ARP funds in the amount of $22,988 I had spoken wrong earlier the wrong item uh so the city of anandale not to put someone on the spot necessarily but do you think that there is potentially some information that could change or swing a vote to approve this or not or I guess there could be Separation on understanding or is it more of a question of I don't I'm not comfortable in sending the money to this place necessarily with the information that you have now because if it's an understanding of process and that kind of thing to me you know you got to scale it's it's more of that or do you think that there could be a question of is this a good use of the money or not I'm just I'm trying to figure out if this could still go through but you get your explanation and understanding and then you'd be good or you want to put the brakes on because you think there's a chance that you you wouldn't approve the money going there to be quite honest um I really am questioning all of the above just because I feel like for the last year and a half these have been just flowing through flowing through and we do have a lot of Wastewater um things going on and I'm just not able to really give an honest opinion at this point perfect thank you that's what I needed Mr chair all right yep thank you so you have motion a second any further discussion uh hearing none all in favor say I I I oh same sign I all right motion passes 41 to table off the ARP reimbursement to the city of anandale in the amount of $122,900 than you Mr chair yep I'm just um I just wanted to comment on it I I I agree with um the recommendation moving forward with this I just want to comment um on the residents concerns in the area with drainage issues um they have been discussed and they have been you know they're in the report as well it's just that as the development happens just knowing that those things should be addressed as well that's my only comments thank you Mr your chair yes thank you for bringing it drainage is a big deal and sometimes I don't know that it always gets the attention that it should and I think some of it is maybe because of the background that people bring or they don't bring to these proposals uh having sat on that and a lot of ditches that's great because once the project done is done and the saw is laid then good luck getting someone to change water when checks are written and houses are built whatever happens so thank you chair vet um just as a plan just to let you know that Planning and Zoning did due diligence on these two properties we went out uh and looked at both of them with the so uh Soil and Water was there uh as well as in the clear the Silver Creek uh we had the supervisor of the township who also works for Silver Creek um there and showed us how the drainage works and so uh very confident in um in in the drainage part of it I hope that's on the record too that's a good item to be on there all right uh if there's any other comments otherwise I'll stand for a motion I'll make a motion we accept the two recommendations from the Planning and Zoning uh rezoning it's just one right there's well you have D1 and D2 it was the same comments for both correct okay okay y I'll second that all right we have a motion by commissioner Holland second by commissioner Shane to approve the recommendations from the Planning Commission for the rezoning uh on the stated properties uh right no other discussion all in favor say i i o same sign all right resoning is passed uh unanimously all right with that we'll move on to the timed agenda items we have the first do we need to prove the rest of the no we did that on the front end oh we did okay so uh right now moving on to the first time agenda item Matt has already made his way to the podium and we have a variety of different ditch matters the first would to accept the implementation grant for Watershed resilience Grant through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for County ditch 33 awesome thank you Mr J members of the board yeah if you have any questions uh on the grant it is uh uh typically contracts like this are sent um in a PDF form it actually has to be submitted via docu sign it's a uh online software where um the assistant accy administrator would have to sign just based on the approval amount for that um so I don't have anything available on a contract form yet U Mark will be receiving an email that after approval for signatures on that so any questions about the the project or that process no it was great to see that uh we were able to uh receive this additional funding uh on top of some of the other funding quite a large project there that we have going on and uh every bit of uh funds that we can funnel into it is lessening the burden on some of the local residents especially because this project here is some of the water issues are are largely driven from uh Regional Road sources I namly the I94 is one of the bigger water contributors to that system very eloquently put thank you so with that uh stand for a motion I'll make that motion all right we have a motion by commissioner Holland second all right second by commissioner Dietrich any further uh discussion hearing none all in favor say I I oose same sign all right motion passes unanimously uh second item uh would be the approve the purchase of an easement along Branch four on County ditch number three another one about the that a resolution yeah sorry U Mark was just following up the approval for the signatures in that motion um sorry oh to authorize signatures change so I just want to confirm then that the consensus of the board that it was to approve the Implement accept the Grant and then authorize signatures so I don't necessarily know that we have to revote as long as the clarification of the board is that we're authorizing uh assistant administrator uh mati to sign on that Grant all right now moving on would be the approval of the purchase of an easement along Branch four on County dit 33 for the realignment of the system this is uh about the large scope of dit 33 on the north side of 94 and some of the realignment and the work that's gone in here to a couple years that we've been finding outside funding sources when and wherever possible yep yeah so yeah this one we approved emergency repairs on this system in May um now we've been working with the land owner um agreed upon an easement description um which he had signed so this would be a proving the purchase agreement for that $1,000 for both the permanent and temporary easement um this easement is also written so that if this ditch was ever transferred to a watershed District or a city on that ement will transfer with them as well all right any St for a motion I'll make a motion all right motion by commissioner Holland second second by commissioner Shane any further discussion hearing none all in favor say I I o same sign all right the realignment on Branch 4 is approved unanimously all right number three approve a staff request quotes for work on County ditch 33 branch number four this would be just the next phase now that we approved the realignment now we got to do the work yeah now that we once we get the EAS recorded yep we're looking to get quotes U to try to do this work and complete it here this fall stand for a motion I'll make a motion motion by commissioner Holland second by commissioner sh uh any discussion hearing none all in favor say I I post same sign right motion passes unanimously number four here to discuss updates on the redetermination of benefits on County ditch 7 and Joint ditch number one uh judicial ditch judicial sorry so a little bit distinction it's all within right County so y um yeah so just an update on this um obviously the viewers are in high demand so scheduling meetings is is very difficult um so we had discussed tenative timelines um that would set it at January 14th for an informational meeting and then March 4th was their next available date for a public hearing um in 2025 so obviously a little bit of background in there it's very difficult um since um we'll be a new commissioner in District 5 um didn't know how you guys wanted to schedule something that far out in advance to make sure whoever takes District 5 is aware and and knows of that public hearing and Mr chair I schedule it and go with it we I mean this happens all the time you can't plan you don't know who the combatant's going to be sitting in the chair anyway so you got four here so that's what you got whether they can make it or not and I get worried if you push out we're going to end up we might be in September by if we wait till January to schedule it because the viewers schedules are just continually filling up so Mr chairman members of the board uh March 4th does appear to feed the first Tuesday of the month so it would be a board commission day also an HHS agenda we could have the public hearings as early as 10:30 that day um if you want to try to correspond it I know we have a new commissioner from District 5 so um assuming they would be here for the morning board meeting they could continue on and enjoy their first public meeting on a ditch yeah yeah I guess we could I'd say schedule it for 10:30 and usually the board's meeting is done by that point we can just go right into the drainage Authority public hearing so with that all stand for a motion to uh uh set it at as set as March 4th at 10:30 a.m. I'll make that motion second all right motion by commissioner catchmark second by commissioner Shane uh to set the red uh public hearing for the redetermination of benefits on County ditch 7 and judicial ditch 1 for March 4th at 10:30 a.m. in this room room all right any further discussion hearing none all in favor say I I oppose same sign motion passes unanimously and the last ditch item is to update the joint ditch uh number four redetermination of benefits from Carver County in subsequent public hearings yeah so a while back Carver County did notify us that they were ordering a redetermination of benefits on quite a few of their ditch systems um now that the viewers report is available um joint ditch number four has um quite a few land owners within Reich County so Carver County is the host County they would order any repairs or or this type of work um and we do have one commissioner in this case since it is a joint ditch with uh Carver McLoud and Wright that would serve as a member of the drainage authori so commissioner cmark would be u a member of that drainage Authority um the public hearing for that is set on November 12th um so I wanted to get a placeholder for that um and start that discussion but also um we do have a significant amount of residents lands um you know I was looking at the roads we have Woodland Victor Township right County roads all were determined through the viewers report to be benefiting from joint ditch number four um those notices got sent out so also wanted to give a heads up uh if there's any calls or or correspondents on that um that I needed to address so Mr chair just for the board's knowledge and information um November 12th is a Tuesday it's the second Tuesday of the month so that would be normally our Workshop day um I don't know how the commission feels about um having one member absent on a workshop but I guess we could either reschedule the workshop cancel the workshop or held the workshop knowing that only four Commissioners could be in attendance assuming commissioner catchmark was going to go down to Carver County to this public hearing oh is that is that where it has to be yeah since they are the host they did the the meeting 9 oh really we don't even get we don't even get input on the time uh they had just uh sent us a message that they had those the informational meetings and the public hearing dates set so they established Quorum so they go along with your philosophy and some here yes 9 a.m. meeting versus a 5:00 p.m. uh well I'd like to be there so I guess uh you know you can plan the agenda accordingly here I suppose we can I just want the board to know yeah that if we have a workshop that day you would be absent assuming you're in car County so the options are to have the workshop cancel the workshop res the workshop what I suggest we do is we wait till the uh board meeting before that we present what Workshop items are on there and then you can make the determination at that point if you want us to reschedule it because I'm I'm always open to moving it to make sure it works because you're you're into a forced meeting that isn't necessarily ideal timing so with that that sounds good Mr chair so I'll plan on that is that an in-person required for that Carver deal they did sayate on at least what Matt has on the rfba um there is a remote option jd1 jd4 and jd5 they're yeah so they're holding other hearings oh other hearings as well yeah jd4 is the only one that uh we have lands that are benefiting so are were you going to go too I was planning on it and I was also going to see if if the dra Authority wanted me to attend any of the informational meetings prior there's one on September 3rd so well I was wondering if we can just do it in the situation room here I don't need to drive to chesa to if this is a legal option here yeah Mr chair member commissioner catchmark we can confirm with them they're same remote option I don't know if that's for public participation or board participation okay please confirm I'll attend either way First Choice is here and then I can still partake then then You' only we can only delay maybe 30 minutes right yeah or adjust the agenda if there's okay I'll make a motion then to um set that or agree with or what what kind of motion you need here so you're really what you're doing is uh updating the on the joint ditch redetermination in in the subsequent public hearings so you're just informational just okay confirming paring that you were acknowledge that the date was set okay all right all right so I don't necessar know that we have to take action was just had to be in a public forum that that you were presented the information on the date and time and location of uh said redetermination public hearing figured I was going to be up here anyway so see now now you now your your hands are clean cuz you told them yeah all right all right now it's we're about 5 minutes early on our public hearing so we'll move on to items for consideration we have the approved the certificate of completion resolution for the certificate of participation for series N uh 2019a uh bonds uh so this is a resolution this is just more housekeeping having to do with the bonds and the fund the balances that are left from the construction of this building and having them get redirected to a Debt Service on said building Mr chair yes I just a question now that means everything's been completed I know we were working on window um and there was a couple other punch list items so all of those items have been completed to my knowledge they they there some of them are still in process I believe yeah Mr chair in discussion with the trustee it was informed that we can withhold those funds for the issues that are still being completed or warranty work that's being completed and corrected on the building okay thank you all right is there any other questions otherwise I'll uh stand for a motion to approve the the uh resolution I'll make that motion motion by commissioner Holland second second by commissioner Shane any further discussion uh hearing none uh resolution vote commissioner catchmark i i i i i all right resolution passes unanimously uh next we have the highway resolution to approve the final acceptance of contract uh 2205 for the authorized final payment to Thomas and Son's Construction in the amount of2 $3 38560 42 I'll make that motion all right second motion by commissioner Holland second by commissioner Shane any discussion all right resolution vote uh commissioner Shane I I I I I all right resolution passes unanimously and we still have three minutes we might be able to finish off the last one so the last item would be the approval of the recommendations uh from the County Board workshop last week the recommendations are all informational only so there really isn't any uh items to take action on but uh nonetheless we still will uh do the process of approving the recommend the information that was presented so I'll stand for a motion I'll make that motion motion by commissioner Holland second second by commissioner Shane any further discussion hearing none all in favor say I I oppose same sign all right recommendations approved unanimously all right I think we're darn close here now we'll start the process of going into our public hearing H at this time we have a public hearing for property tax abatement for the monacello hospitality group uh yeah Mr chair and board members I can maybe just give a brief background on it so we talked about this at the Eda meeting earlier in the month but the monell hospital groups looking at building a 98 room hotel in monel with two restaurants that'll be attached to that as well so we've been working with them for a while on the tax abatement application process as you recall from the Eda they had initially just they requested just over $400,000 the Eda recommended that we bring this forward with a 10-year maximum of up to $375,000 in tax abatement to be approved on this project so um the city's also taken a look at this and they've considered it and they've approved a 10-year agreement very similar in nature I think their number was about $378,000 that they approved in July so at this point you have the agreement before you drafted with the terms that we discussed at the Eda meeting and we need to hold a public hearing on it as the chair mentioned and then we would be looking for approval of that resolution and authorization for us to sign the agreement if the board is in approval of that and we also have um the Rob Thompson who's the president of CI Construction ction here today as a representative of the developer if the board has any questions and with that i''d be open for questions otherwise looking for that action all right thank you so at this time if there's anyone here that's present that wishes to uh uh speak regarding the abatement of said property in monello for the monel hospitality group please come forward and state your name for the record all right would anyone wish to speak for the record would anyone wish to speak for the record and a final ask would anyone wish to speak for the record hearing uh no comments at this time we will close the public hearing and move the item for discussion up here uh at the Das all right CH commissioner here catch Mark oh thank you I spoke to the staff about what I wanted to bring up and they said this was the appropriate time to do it so that's what I'll do we had a recent application for uh another business that wanted an abatement the concrete company and there was a recommended figure from consultants and we had agreed upon a figure and then a commissioner suggested that we lower that amount that would be abated and so that's going through the process and that was before really we got in deep to budget conversations and and at the beginning of budget conversations we were all asked kind of what is your tolerable level for a levy they were very low the tolerable levels that we had I remember seeing and hearing some zeros apparently that the zeros went by the wayside but the range is between two and seven of acceptable Levy amounts we're like this now of seven we're over seven so now we have a little bit of background to say U it doesn't look as good now for next year so my point is should we consider a reduction with this one like we did the other one knowing what we know now for next year's Levy the way it's looking we didn't know that before it was proposed to reduce this other one not sure why the amount of 50,000 was thrown out there but I was told that this is the meaning to bring that up so for consistency sake and because we know now things we didn't know before that's why I'm bringing it up and I'm not going to die on the hill by myself but I just want to remind the board that that was the route we took on another one in the recent past but before we started budget arguments a friendly way arguments commissioner catchmark what are you proposing for a reduction in said ask well Mr chair I'm just throwing it out there I don't know if you if you would do it um proportionately to the same or how but I guess I have I'm just entertaining you know is does is anyone interested in discussing any kind of reduction and then we can go from there but if no one's interested then it won't go any place but so here's my my question on this number one and Rob will probably come up here in a second um because what he articulated at the Eda that anything substantially lower than the 375,000 uh from the county uh could likely uh damage the project entirely uh so at the end of the day it doesn't save us any money because if the project doesn't done it it doesn't increase the tax capacity you're only capturing future construction growth with this abatement so either way it doesn't if it doesn't build it doesn't help taxpayers if it builds it actually helps taxpayers even with the abatement especially the type of a construction that they're building as a hotel it will generate a substantial amount of uh local option sales tax funds for Highway projects uh so so there there is that side of it actually when you look at the Run of it over the 10e abatement it's going to make up close to the amount that we're abating just in local option sales tax funds based on their performa so it'll it'll be close to it and could be more could be less depends on how the actual business operates but uh to me this is a this is a winwin from a benefit to the society for subsequent businesses by having a hotel and what types of uh economic development that brings with having uh a a large Hotel like that as well as the fact that uh after 10 years it will be a increase in the capacity and then in the meantime it'll create a substantial amount of local option sales tax uh close to the amount that it would be paying in the property taxes potentially so but if Rob wants to come forward I know you had stated it at the Eda that that you your concern was that if the abatement was uh substantially less than uh the amount that you were asking for that it was likely that the project would not continue forward Mr chair I don't know I I heard from Rob he I think he made a good presentation but I guess if we're going to stick with recommended and what what we've got here is we've got a one applicant that was allowed to come and speak to if we're going to do a reduction or not the concrete person was just correspondence sent by staff to say hey uh you know some back and forth would you still do the project if we shrink it by 50,000 but if we're going to send Rob what he wants then I guess why not send why minimize another project over over this one because that mean that one's going to create jobs and may not to the degree maybe of a hotel but I just want to look at consistency sake and member Kern he brought up another piece to it but I I I don't need anymore really necessarily I'm Glad You Came rob you show up and show interest but I think we need feedback from our decision makers because we did something above and beyond before Rob got here with another proposal so I'm not trying to rewrite the rules just trying to draw attention to we had another case handled it a little differently so that's all Mr chair I i' like to hear from the other three though I've heard Mr chair we've heard from Rob can you remind me why did we cut that $50,000 well it was asked of but okay Mr dri made request to for the reduction we the we asked uh sjb at that time if they had interest and still moving forward with a reduction in their abatement request and he made the determination that he felt confident that his project could still move forward with the requested reduction uh and what was the reasoning the the reasoning was it was a commissioner dietr just felt that that there was more that we should be capturing some of that growth so with that reason she made the she advocated to the board the board majority of the board agreed that there is no harm no foul in asking he could have said no if you don't Abate the entire amount then I won't be able to move forward he it's all a rle of the dice yeah and Mr chair I can maybe fill in on a little bit of the background and kind of the staff side of what we did so we were requested to go back to that developer and ask them if it was a possibility for them to move forward with less of payment that developer was was not at the meeting which is why the board had asked us to have that conversation with them outside of a meeting because they were not available to comment on their own that said we went back and had the conversation with the developer they agreed to reduce the amount but you remember they also changed some of the terms to make it so that it was 100% abatement for the first up to the certain dollar amount I don't remember what that was whereas before it had been structured where it was 100% for the first few years and then it tapered down from 75 to 50 so they did recapture a little bit more of that in I think years five and six that they wouldn't have otherwise so there was a bit of a give and take there and I just wanted to let you know that that was it was kind of a negotiation that we had had with them that ultimately ended in that result all abatements you kind of have to take them with a case-by casee basis there you can't have any kind of uh Universal rule or policy that would be applicable because all of them are different types of businesses all of them have different types of benefits and you may be abating it for a variety of different reasons and for that situation is why and the amounts are always different so with that you have to take them all on a case-by Case basis Mr chair and thank you I guess the main here's the scenario if the concrete person calls his District 5 commissioner and says hey how come the next one that came along got his full amount I have to have I have to be able to answer that and and that's why uh you know I'm bringing it up today and and if there's no interest in changing this amount then you know that's the answer but it'd be wrong for me in my opinion as a district five guy to just sit here and let it go through so that's where I'm at and we can continue on and uh Mr chair um the the taxes are still paid on what the land right now is being taxed at correct yeah Mr chair and board members that's correct the original ask was for all of the taxes to be Abad but per the advice of the Financial Consultant that we worked with they requested that we move it forward with only the incremental taxes so the increase that will be created by the project will be abated not what's already being paid on the land itself okay that's why yeah yeah commissioner casar I mean I I appreciate you you you pointing out and having the the the discussion on differences from one project to the other and and nuances to it um in this situation I mean you can pose the question out there as you did at the uh previous meeting at the Eda about would you move forward with this project or not if there was a reduction in it I think you already got that response at the Eda meeting um and I I don't believe anything has changed between now and then I I'm seeing his head shake no if I was Rob I'd shake my head no yeah I mean but it's always a gamble I mean you can you can try reducing it and see if it happens or not I mean that's no enough enough Mr chair no one's interested so it's fine long as it's on the record that we discussed it that there was a difference that's fine yeah and Mr chair I appreciate that too and thank you for the background information because it's funny how time goes and you're like wait a minute and you're trying to remember back so I appreciate the update and and where everything was and yes I still agree but I do appreciate where you're coming from you're taking care of your constituent so thank you all right uh if there's no other comments I will stand for a motion I'll go ahead and make that motion all right I'll second that so the motion would be to adopt the resolution authorized signatures approving tax abatement uh for the business subsidy agreement for the monel hospitality group in the amount of the
