From the transcript
Oh, thank you. Yeah, no, I just want to add this topic of in-kind. I do like the idea of in-kind, but one thing that jumps out at me is consistency. So say that the Iceworm team was going to provide a lifeguard, I wouldn't want to see it being kind of haphazardly applied, like one session they have a lifeguard, then the next session they need a city lifeguard, a city employee. So I think in-kind has to be managed as strictly as monies would be managed and not have it just be, you know, when they happen to have somebody available.
