From the transcript
That was a problem, and if that problem is resolved and there's a commitment on that, I think the board would look at it favorably. And the— thank you, Councilmember Green, for bringing up the issue of the school. It wasn't a request necessarily as much as a comment that the school— it's really nice that the school board is meeting in their own facilities. And, uh, the utility felt, uh, and also saw that it was, um, uh, you know, convenient to meet in our facilities as well. So, um, anyway, uh, I'm not, uh, I can't, uh, tell you the board is going to say okay, but, uh, I, my if I was betting on it, I'd double my bet right now.
