 the flag of the United States of America, and unto the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay, do we have any additions or deletions? Staff has no changes to the agenda this evening. Great, thank you. And it looks like we have some presentations or a presentation. Night, Chief. Good evening, Mayor and Council and staff. I'm here tonight to present the 2022 Herbros Officer of the Year Award. If you're not aware, Sergeant Herbros, the Sergeant Herbros Award is given each year to an officer who's demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, and hard work. In addition, the officer must give back to his or her community. And the Capitol Police Department is very proud to announce that the police officer of the year for 2022 is Daniel Vasquez. Officer Vasquez was born and raised in Watsonville and graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and a minor in Latino studies. Officer Vasquez is married, has two boys, and has another baby on the way. Officer Vasquez started his career as a correctional officer with the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office and was hired by the Capitol Police Department in April of 2021. Over the past year, Officer Vasquez has maintained a very positive attitude in all situations and a real genuine approach to the care and care for the community of Capitola. Officer Vasquez supports the mission of the police department and his selection was made unanimously by the department's command staff. When Officer Vasquez asked what he likes about the community of Capitola, he responded, I love the people, the culture, and the diversity. So please welcome me by congratulating Officer Daniel Vasquez as the 2022 officer of the year. Just to take a minute to address you. For me, it's a pleasure working here in Capitola. I'm local from San Cruz County, and I went to school. I always wanted to come back here and serve my committee. Being here in Capitola has not been a mistake, but a real joy. I'd like to thank the command staff, thank my coworkers. I've been in the department for about two years and half the time, like, what am I doing? And it's my partners who come and save me. Her boss, great gentleman, family-oriented man, and devoted to his community. So something that reminds me of him is continuing his legacy as I work every day for this department. So thank you, and I'll see you in the street. Thank you. Thank you, congratulations. And then do we have a report on closed session? Thank you. Do we have additional materials? Great. So we'll go to oral communications. So oral communications, this is time for members of the public to address the council on any items that are either on consent or not part of the actual agenda. Come on up. Good mayor, members of the council. My name's Bill Gray. I reside at 1440 Prospect Avenue. My family has owned the upstirical piece of property since 1921. So I guess that makes us long-term residents. I have personally resided there for 10 years. What I wish to speak to you about today is the problems associated with the bluff in terms of maintenance of the trail and in terms of the degradation of the bluff and the erosion of the bluff itself. Let me first thank the capital police for being so quick in their response to the most recent damage. They were there within, I swear to gosh, minutes of the time the bluff crashed in at this point in time with caution tape trying to keep people out of the area. And that was much appreciated. Problem with that is the caution tape doesn't last very long. It lasted 20 or 30 minutes, perhaps, in keeping people out. And then we were back to where we were before. The RTC came out yesterday and put up barricades on the path. That was helpful as well. But that didn't last very long either. People found a way to get around the barricades. So what I'm talking about are two things. One is the pathway that is on the east side of the bluff overlooking the railroad and the condition that the pathway is in currently. And if you've received your notice from the RTC February 2nd meeting, you'll see that pathway in living color. The width of the pathway is down to 16 inches in some places, down to 24 inches in others. That's about the width of the center aisle on a 737. It's not the width that's necessary for safely going across the pathway. And let me assure you, people do it at all times of the day or night with flashlights, without flashlights, and in various conditions. In one case some years ago, a gentleman fell down some 15 feet. And that was before the erosion that we currently have. So it seems to me that the first instance is making a decision, you folks making a decision, on how important that path is and maintenance of the path. Am I done? You can wrap it up, yeah? Can I wind up? Yes, that can do. And secondly, taking a look long term. And we need your help. We need your help to work with the RTC to work towards, hopefully, a comprehensive approach for stabilizing the bluff that includes the RTC, includes the city, which has a memorandum of agreement for maintenance of the trail and the property owners. And there are some of my neighbors are here this evening. We're all available to answer questions in the event that you have any. Thank you. Great. Thank you, Mr. Gray. Any other public? Evening council. My name is Jason Shepardson. No, a few of you. I'm just introducing myself. So I've been a resident of Capitola since 2010, attended Cabrillo, Cal State Monterey Bay. And we've been a resident since then. I am also on the commission on the environment last meeting. I became the vice chair of it as well. And what I'm really looking to do here is just kind of be proactive. Clearly, our community has gone through a lot lately. And in my eight months of being on the commission on the environment, I've just kind of realized that being proactive is going to be important. And so that's why I'm here. Being a part of the commission on the environment, I really see this immediate emergency and the forthcoming decisions that will occur as an opportunity to really be involved in. Just try to be helpful. And just being proactive on this all as well, a personal goal of mine for the commissioning environment is to kind of help with many things, but also beach cleans as well. And doing some of my own research and talking to Save Our Shores, Krista's Rogers, who's the program director, there is a lot of debris on the capital beach right now. And speaking with Krista, she kind of quoted a beach clean at about $600 or $700 a clean for a city organization and that they are busy up until the earliest they could do another beach clean is March. So to not take up too much time on the commissioning environment, I want to be involved with what's going on, moving forward and just be helpful. Did a little bit of my own homework on how we can start to get the beach clean. I think being proactive is important because I learned myself that there, I don't know, I know the city parks projects is also working with Save Our Shores as well and I don't know what communication they've done. I believe that they've spoken with Krista, but it was news to me that they at least said that they couldn't do one until again as early as March. And so that's about it. I would like to be a part of meetings and just be present and available. And that's all I got to say. OK, thank you. Do we have any other members of the public or online? No. OK. All right, that takes us to staff comments. One quick comment here this evening. This evening we have Tamara Burke with the city attorney's office, assistant city attorney who will be representing the city attorney's office at the meeting this evening. She attended one of our meeting virtually. Great, welcome. I'm really excited to be here in person. We're excited to have you. Thank you. Any council comment? Thank you. Well, I just wanted to talk a little bit about how well our beach cleanup went this last Sunday. Mayor Kaiser and I have these great shirts on from all of that heavy lifting we did out there on the beach. And I just wanted to thank our community for stepping up. It was an overwhelming turnout with hundreds of people who just, as you heard from our speaker, want to do more. And so I look to our staff here to let us know as soon as possible. And our community know as soon as possible when there's the next opportunity to support. In addition to that, there are current opportunities to support the city of Capitola. And there's lots of fundraisers going on and things of that nature. And so you can find all of that on social media and through our city's website. And also, I believe, and I'm looking at our city manager here to help me with the term we have in our chambers, we have opened a help me with the small business association. No, sorry. The federal small business administration is being housed in our community room. Damages. Great. And so for our community members that were impacted and businesses that's available here through the city of Capitola. Thank you. Thank you. Any other council comments? Well, yeah, Sunday was great. We had a bunch of members of the PD show up as well. And it's just always fun to see everybody out enjoying this beautiful spot that we're in. So big shout out to everybody that showed up. I'm sure recreation is going to keep us posted on, hopefully, more to come. And so our social media, those sort of things are great to keep an eye on so that you can be aware of what's coming up. Yeah. And just a huge shout out to Public Works, too. They continue to work around a clock. And something to take off of what Mr. Gray said, if you see barricades or caution tape, it's probably best to abide by that and maybe not go into the area that is behind that because it is there for a reason. So just be aware, we're still dealing with lots of backlash from the storm, so just better to be safe than sorry. So thank you. All right. We did have a special visitor. Yes, it's going to be in a yes. We'll hear all about our special friend. OK, so we can go on to item eight, which is the consent. So these are all items that will be enacted in one motion in the form listed below. No separate discussion unless somebody needs to pull an item. If anybody wants to make a motion on the consent or pull anything. All motion to approve the consent agenda. Thank you. Also. Great. First and second. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Great passes unanimously. We'll take us on to nine general government. We're on item A. This is our winter storm event update from staff. We're actually doing a slideshow like the way we used to do before the pandemic. So it'll be interesting to see if it works and it goes out on Zoom. Yeah. First off, I know we touched on a couple of these things during Council comments, but I'm just going to do a little bit of a recap of sort of where we are with the current state of emergency and our efforts to clean up and help people recover. First, we declared an emergency declaration, maybe an emergency declaration on the fourth and issued an evacuation for low lying areas of the village. The next day, the fifth, is when we had the storm surge and the waves that caused so much damage in our community. We met the day after that. City Council ratified the emergency order. And then from that point on, we were both working at recovery, as well as prevention for future storms. And you'll recall in the eighth, this when there was another significant rainstorm event. And we deployed a large train on the bridge to make sure we didn't see a log jam there and could further exacerbate flooding situation. We had our emergency shelter open. It's now been closed. Then we received a visit from the governor. It's with FEMA. And if that wasn't enough, on the 19th, we got a visit from the President of the United States. And our very own Mayor, Kaiser, represented Capitola and actually traveled with the president in the motor case. So quite a moment from the city of Capitola. I think all of us were there. And it'll be a day that I think people will remember. Absolutely. Also want to note, well, I'll touch on that a little bit later, but I'll touch on it now, is it's a great job that our police department did in coordinating with Secret Service. Having a president come and visit is no small task. And Capitola was able to pull it off. We pulled it off elegantly. And our forces did an amazing job. Secret Service did whatever voodoo that they do to keep the president safe. So really quickly, I'm going to bounce through a few things that the city has done. We've been pushing out a lot of information. We'll be putting out another digital newsletter tomorrow that'll talk about more recovery efforts and more information for residents and businesses to get how they can get help. A lot of interviews, a lot of press opportunities, and then multiple visits from government officials, which is a pretty benign way of saying it, I guess. And we've also put together a recovery webpage that's trying to categorize and consolidate information for people about recovery and how they can get resources. We've submitted our initial estimate of public damage. It's 2.6 million at this point. That includes the wharf, which is, frankly, it's going to be a moving target. That's not the final number. Damage to the bridge, damage to the hooper stairs, damage to the jetty, and to the bluff in front of just west of the village. And so the goal there is those are going to be the FEMA-eligible reimbursement projects. And my staff is working very closely with the FEMA representatives, the county, and Cal-O-E-S to make sure that we're getting those damage assessments done correctly. As was mentioned during council comments, we coordinated with Save Our Shores on a beach cleanup this last weekend. We tried to limit the crowd a little bit because there was going to be only room for so many people. But there was a lot of folks out there. There was a lot of enthusiasm. And we filled up an entire dumpster. When I say dumpster, that doesn't quite quantify how big it was. Shipping container with driftwood and debris from the beach. We've also been coordinating with the community foundation of Santa Cruz County as the conduit for funding so that if people want to give, they can give to the community foundation and for their disaster fund to help our community recover. We are also coordinating a potential benefit concert to take place in the village on the 18th. That will be subject to council's approval, which will come next meeting. You may start hearing about this benefit concert before the council approval because the council approval will be coming nine days ahead of time. So I just want to give you the heads up. It is not approved until you approve it. But at this point, there's a lot of work that the BIA is doing. Some of our local businesses as well as ANS has volunteered to perform. So it sounds like it could be a really, really positive event. Our police department, as I mentioned, really did a heroic job of managing the POTUS visit. They've continued to staff up and represent us at the county emergency operations center and maintain patrols and maintain regular patrols throughout the city and as well as the affected areas within the city. Public works, now a lot of this work is going to shift over to them. They've been coordinating on making sure we're prepared each time there's a rain event, in addition, getting up fencing and protecting areas that are damaged from the storm. We have started emergency repairs to the Riverview pathway, which you may recall was damaged during the storm. We are also in discussions with the county about responsibility for that damage. And council will be getting updates on that as we move forward. And then we had a site visit to the wharf with the engineering team. I think that took place last week as well. Planning staff, again, really has transitioned more into a sort of recovery mode. Planning staff really coordinated regionally to help set up the business recovery center that council member Brooks mentioned that we're hosting in our community room as well as the regional disaster relief centers. We were looking at potentially hosting a disaster relief center in Capitola in coordination with them all. But ultimately, I believe the disaster relief centers in our county are in Watsonville and then I think in the San Lorenzo Valley. But so they decided not on putting one in our region. So that's the presentation this evening. The staff is available to answer any questions and no action of the council. Great, thank you. Any questions from council? I have a question. Is there any plans for a second beach cleanup at this point? I'm gonna pivot to Nikki Bryant on our staff to talk about what her work on the volunteer side is yielding. Yes, good evening, mayor, council members. As a member of the public had previously stated, we did reach out to save our shores in order to identify if we could partner with them for another beach cleanup in the near future. And they are indeed booked. And so we are currently working as city manager explained on a fundraising concert and trying to identify if we might be able to do around the same time another beach cleanup. No decision has been made, no date has been identified, but we will keep council informed as to when a date has been decided. Thank you. I just wanted to make a comment about our police department. Coming from the law enforcement background, heard a lot of great things from everybody and how well you all work with the Secret Service. I know it's not always easy, but it looked really good. Looked effortless and made us proud. So you mentioned emergency repairs. How's that on Riverview? How's that different than normal? I'm looking at Jessica, normal repairs. So I'll give the first answer and then if I flounder Jessica, please feel free to correct me. And I know I took your thunder earlier with council comments. So, you know, I'll give you a moment there. Go ahead. So in general, when we hire somebody to do work so we have to prepare under a declared state of emergency when things are a hazard and have to get fixed, that declared state of emergency allows public work director to hire somebody to fix it. Just take care of the problem. And so that's why it's an emergency repair being done under the emergency authorization because we will be front and we'll be using our emergency fund, which is set up for these exact purposes. We do expect that other people will ultimately pay for this but we would need to be reimbursed either from the county or from the government. Okay, and then my second question is you mentioned two million in damage so far. You referenced the wharf and the jetty being damaged. Was there any damage to the flume? I don't believe that, yeah, we don't believe any damages take place at the flume. Okay, so the cost of the over two million was just with those two. Those two plus the hoover stairs, the bridge. In that picture, there's some damage to one of the footings at the bridge as well as the cliff drive parking, that erosion, that issue there. And how long do these assessments take? Like when do we have a better idea of it's just ongoing, several months? I think this is when I need to turn to my father first time. We reached the limit of my knowledge. So there's two places the funding is coming from. One is from Caltrans and that is for the bridge because it's what's called a federal aid road and those two projects typically take much, much longer I would expect money from them at the end of the year. For the other FEMA projects, they usually assess those within three to four months and we prioritize them. So depending on the priority and how much money we're asking for, they schedule out when they give funds for those type of projects. Is there anything that council can do to help persuade Caltrans to move faster? I know we've worked on building a better relationship in the last couple of years with them. And if there's anything we can do, any suggestions? I know that we're working closely with Caltrans at this point and if we ever run into any roadblocks, I think letting council know and seeking sort of support from our state representatives would be the spot to go. But at this point, we've been getting a ton of really collaborative work from both FEMA, Cal OES, Caltrans, everyone has been great to work with so far. Any public comment on this item? Anything online? And we don't need an action. Okay, well thank you staff. And that will take us to 9B, which is the arms forces flag request. Thank you so much, mayor. If you can be one moment. I'll get set up. Yeah. Okay. Thank you for waiting, one second. I know I'm doing that. It's not. Our city manager to the rescue, as always. I spoke too soon. Click escape. That always is what I'm referring to. Okay, go. Oh, hey, that worked. Loewe, yeah. Okay, thank you so much. The president word too many times and it was. They were locking us down. Okay. We're flagged. So thank you mayor and council for your patience and understanding. And thank you city manager Goldstein. So I'm here before you to speak about a current flag request. And as you know that the city council did approve our current flag policy back in 2021 in May. And that policy does include section five, non-governmental flags, which outlines the procedure for individuals from the public to request the city fly a non-governmental flag in place of our state flag for a certain amount of time. So we have a request before you this evening. It was made on November 2nd of to fly the armed forces flag here at city hall during the week of May 13th through 20th this year. A little background. So armed forces day is a current day here in our country, which honors those that are actively serving in our US military, which is the distinction between Veterans Day and Memorial Day. This is really for those that are actively serving our country. And it also does unify all six branches of the military. A little more background, just some timelines for you, because I love history. This day has, you know, comes to us from the 50s, so it's been around a while. And President JFK did proclaim it an official day in 1961, kind of outlining this as every third Saturday in May. And just a note, you may be curious, armed forces day, though it is celebrated day, is not one of our currently recognized 12 federal holidays. And just as recently as last year, President Biden, our new friend apparently, did proclaim the third Saturday in May, armed forces day, which continues that precedent, as I mentioned, and the upcoming day is May 20th, 2023. This is an image of the requested flag. As you can see, there's a depiction of all six of the U.S. military branches. There are official seals on the flag. And our recommendation this evening is one or the other. It's up to you. You're our counsel. You can approve or deny. Thank you so much. And I'm, of course, available for questions. Do you have any questions from any public comment? Anything online? Okay. Great. Well, we can go back to council deliberation on this item. I so move item 9B to fly the armed forces flag during the week of May 13th through May 20th in accordance to our policy V-18 outdoor display of governmental and non-governmental flags on city property. So you made a motion? Oh yes. That was it. That was it. I think I blacked out and I didn't say I'm so moved. That was a long read, sorry. That was a first and a second. And I would just like to add in here before roll call that I request a follow-up item just to review our flag policy as we keep getting more and more requests. I would like to see that it goes through with a council member support possibly and then a one-year turnaround of a re-ask instead of the six months. And we can... Prior to the vote, I did have one point of clarification. Thank you. Is this a recurring authorization or for this year just so that we're clear about whether or not this is gonna be an ongoing thing or whether this is an authorization for this year? Seeing that Mayor Keiser wants to bring back the policy as a whole, so let's still do this for this year and then see what the outcome is for next year. So my motion stands as to approve an IMB recommended action to approve the request for this year. Thank you. All right, let's roll call. Thank you. Aye. Aye. Aye. Passes unanimously. Thank you. We can move on to nine C. Brought to us by Nikki. This is the lifeguard program update. And when and if you want, and then Jamie can put your computer up. Okay. If we need chief member. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I thought that this is good. All right, Mayor, council members, just want to check to make sure you can hear me okay with this microphone. Great, thank you. So the item here before you is a report on the capital lifeguard services. I just want to make note that this is an opportunity to provide council an update on activities related to this item and an opportunity to ask questions. In order to support any questions that you may have, we have several individuals in attendance. On zoom, we have the Santa Cruz fire department division chief Rob Young here in chambers. We have central fire districts chief Jason Nee and we also have city staff, recreation coordinator Brennan Howard. So with that, I will go ahead and begin my presentation. So to start off this fiscal year, council for council approved a budget that includes the development of a city operated lifeguard program. A little over 10 years ago, the city did actually operate its own lifeguard program, but for various reasons made the decision to enter into a contract with the city of Santa Cruz to provide lifeguard tower services as they are a USLA open water lifeguard agency. We have maintained that contract since 2012 and the last contract resolved at the end of the season in September. The contract had standard operating between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. Now, for our junior lifeguard program, the city has a responsibility to ensure that the individuals that are working with youth and are also lifeguard trained. And in order to accomplish that in 2019, the city entered into a contract with central fire district. At the time when we had entered into a 2019, central was considering adding a lifeguard agency. And so this partnership had a lot of benefits for both agencies as we continued to work together. Since that time, central has merged with Aptos La Selva and has begun a strategic plan process. And so due to the heavy lift of both of those items are not able to identify a timeline in order for a lifeguard program. Feel next slide, please. Thank you. Now, I want to just give a little primer on an organization that we work very closely with in regarding this, which is the United States Life-Saving Association, also known as USLA. USLA is a professional association of beach lifeguards and open water rescuers. The primary mission of USLA is to reduce incidents of death and injury through public education, as well as upholding national lifeguard standards. In order to do that, they publish guidelines for open water lifeguard agency certifications and ultimately certify lifeguard employers through a review of their training program and policies. This is a prestigious certification in order for lifeguard agencies as the majority of any lifeguard operation in California do hold a USLA certification. As part of USLA, the region or the, sorry, the nation is divided into nine different regions. And the city is part of the West Coast region known as the California Surf Life-Saving Association, or CSLSA. Like the National Body USLA, their mission is to be a professional organization that promotes beach safety and awareness for open water life-saving standards. And they do this through several ways, including providing collaborative training opportunities throughout the state, through the certification of training programs, as well as for junior lifeguard programs and coordinating a regional competition. The CSLSA also does the review process for any of our local chapters, which Capitola does have. Can you advance my slide? Thank you. All right, so as the city continues on the path for developing our own lifeguard program, we will be applying for a USLA open water lifeguard agency certification in September of 2023. I do want to note that in the staff report, the date had previously said April. However, since this morning, that direction has changed for us. So we will be applying in September. This is typically a long process for new agencies as there are several things to make sure that are fitting to the guidelines published. And we are internally grateful for the partnerships that we had really worked hard on last season where there was a collaboration amongst the three agencies with Santa Cruz and Central that really highlighted the public safety as we all worked together for the conclusion of the contract from Santa Cruz and Central helping to provide staff that worked as supervisors in our towers and ultimately ensure a solid operation on our beach last season. So as we started this year in order to identify what are gonna be the next steps for our training program and as we progress to apply for our certification, the city as well as Santa Cruz and Central began to have conversations about what would be the right steps. Now the city of Santa Cruz Marine Safety Division holds a open water lifeguard agency certification. They also hold an aquatic rescue response team certification. They are both USLA. However, the primary differences is that the lifeguard agency certification, the training program includes a prevention, water surveillance and public education aspect within that training. Whereas the AART certification is primarily training around response to a rescue. Central Fire as a highly qualified, having highly qualified staff who have come from a lifeguarding background and does hold an AART was an exceptional partner for us as we were training our junior lifeguard instructors to USLA standards. However, the three agencies collectively recognize that the appropriate partner for this upcoming contract is the Santa Cruz Fire Department as they hold the appropriate USLA lifeguard agency certification. And so moving forward, the agreement with Santa Cruz will really help to bridge and ensure that the training standards are met for our operation in order to enhance a successful application for our USLA certification in the fall. And if you'll advance the slide, please. Now the fiscal impact for this, there is none. The city will contract with Santa Cruz for training services within the already existing budget. This includes city staff as part of the training cadre and Central Fire will also be providing qualified trainers to this training academy for this season. The, this budget, the FY 2223 budget had already included $17,000 in funding for these training services. And the original plan was to contract with Central Fire. However, the three agencies ultimately agreed that Santa Cruz is the more appropriate partner for this agreement. And so as any recommended action as I had previously stated, there is none. So myself and anybody that is in attendance appropriate to this topic is available for questions. Thank you. Council, have any questions? I just have one. Nicky, what, which staff are being trained? Are these are, these are our year round staff that are being trained and how many? No, that's a great question. So it ultimately is our seasonal staff that will make up our junior lifeguard instructors and our open water lifeguards that will be working our towers during the summer. Our year round staff will, Brennan Howard, will be part of the, the training cadre as part of an instructor so that there will be a collaborative effort to train our staff and Santa Cruz staff. And just to be clear, once we receive our USLA lifeguard agency certification, we're then qualified to train our own to do so. Is that cost gonna, is that $15,000 cost to train every year? Is that something we're budgeting out for for that? Is it the same price, essentially? No, so there is a cost to apply for the USLA certification, but it is light in the hundreds of dollars. The $17,000 would no longer be a budgeted item unless we saw a need for a continued contracting partnership with one of the other fire departments in the area. What's the cost for us to train? Now, once we become USLA certified, what's the cost to us to train our own? Well, it would be, it would be the staff's responsibility to, the one person that, as well as individuals that we identify through our seasonal staff hiring. So we would have returning staff that would become part of that training cadre and potentially, even though we would be able to stand on our own, we would probably continue to attempt to work with our regional partners as there is an advantage for working with our regional partners, but not on a contractual basis. Okay. I'll elaborate on that a little bit. And I think maybe this is exactly what you just said, but I think, longer term, our really hope is, is that we're standing up a fully independent program and we can do this all in house. This first year, we're building up our capacity and building up our skills and team. And then even longer term, there has been a lot of thought about, look, we have multiple like the city of Santa Cruz and running these academies to collaborate with Central on doing these sorts of things. So it would transition to a different phase where basically we have our own CSLSA certified program, USLA certified program. We wouldn't be contracting from the service, but maybe we'd be more partners. And will we be seeing guards occur this summer with all the damage that's taken place? So that is unfortunately not an answer that I can say at the moment. There obviously needs, nature needs to do some work. And, but we are having conversations about if things are not appropriate, what we might do. But in general, we're optimistic that guards will be able to operate as planned. I just had a question. So once we become USLA certified, does that expire? Do we have to keep going back each year to re-up or retrain? I'm sure there's like developments in training that Brandon's gonna need to know. Yeah, no, it's a great question. So any agency that is USLA certified has goes through a three-year cycle in which they are doing a recertification process and that application is yet again reviewed. And so once we do actually achieve a USLA certification, then we will also be on that same three-year cycle. Great, thank you. Question. I have a question. Yeah, it seemed that there may have been two licenses in question, one being open water rescue license. Is that incorporated in the USLA? Yes, so USLA as an organization has a couple of different certifications and the open water lifeguard agency certification would be the one that we would be applying for. Okay, thank you. Any public comment on this item? Well, any other comments? Because we don't need to make a roll call or do a motion, so we have received the report. All right, great job, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. So that takes us to item 10, which is adjournment. Happy Thursday, everybody. Have a wonderful evening and weekend.
