There were punch list items listed in that and Kasin is working on setting up a final meeting. We will meet in the field one last time, not knowing if we were going to meet in December we wanted to get this before the board for any questions or concerns. This proposal went down a little based on ownership responsibilities and the map that was provided. The proposal from Yellowstone for the East West Phase 2 road at $102,324, the N4 proposal at $55,440 and the N5 proposal at $37,560 annually. All these coincide with the budget that was adopted earlier in the year. We will bring back a proposal to the next meeting for the five ponds associated with these areas.
