we just cover the first question on both the town and the school district warrant balance will be to approve the use of this alternative process it's outlined in HB 1129 which were doing right now that you informational sessions in the paper ballot for the warrants if he's optional procedures are not approved by a simple majority all the other Warren articles share share BBM disapproves this if the doctor is not in the election so any all of the subsequent Warren articles are disapproved if we do not pass by majority vote the first question on the ballot if y'all so procedures are approved than all the other boats on a warn article should be deemed the final another meeting so how Ro. Vote comes out of each of those articles that's what the final decision is on those from what if we don't pass the operating budget or if we don't pass the the first question the governing body made vote to convene another meeting prior to September 1st to adopt an operating budget or adopt a previous years operating budget and I know the school board here as a contingency plan in place to you know if that happens to to call another meeting relatively soon after the March 10th decision we will have Drive uploading available that'll be simple for folks that do not want to come in Fortune building so we have the opportunity to do that that's a wrap for the next next steps for this and that's the rap of what we need to do is get accomplished today for this the second informational session funny comments tea I don't have any I think she's a marvelous job throughout the to zoom sessions we're really not a journey tonight we're really recessing until the end of the voting on the T if I'm not mistaken is that right I don't think so I think this is that these informational sessions are are purely informational at least I was not that I've known that we have to know where recess okay I was not aware of us having to keep anything open okay all right that's a wrap thanks everybody appreciates time 15 min enjoy the rest
