These recommendations for July 25th, 2014 meeting were approved at an error in the recommendations for the presentation they presented. I'm not sure what number they presented it, but it was an old graph, and I'll show you the corrections. Here they are. These are the corrections that we would like to request for the actual minutes in the presentation that we presented to you correctly. But in the actual recommendations, it has old numbers, old values, but this is what it looked like when it went to council, and what it should look like on the recommendations form. And I'd just like to make this change for the record, and the minutes are cut for your approval, so it'll be approved with the correct values. I just want to be transparent about what was presented during that last meeting. In this recommendation form. I understand. Okay. It looks like it's table one on page 30. It is. Okay. The numbers above were correct, as you can see, but the table one had incorrect values, and I want to be able to change to these corrections inside the minutes. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay. So that does require an action in your approval for the minutes. I just would like to request that you include the corrections. Okay. Okay. So all you're doing is wanting us to amend the minutes to reflect these figures? Among any other recommendations. Perfect. Perfect. All right. Is everybody a chance to review the minutes of our July 24th meeting? Okay. So we'll approve. I'll move to approve the minutes with the previously seen change. I'll second that. Okay.
