There's additional due diligence being done on that, we did give staff directions, hopefully we will have the appropriate backup documentation to take action next week, so 34 will be back on. On 35, we are working through the -- the points of disagreement with samsung, Austin semiconductor. Marietta and I will chat with the samsung representatives as I’m sure I’ll get a phone call. Between now and then and hopefully by this time next week we will have outstanding issues resolved. We will need to amend our policy so we will have that posted next week, we will have this contract posted for action, also. So 35 will be back on the court's agenda. Pretty much the same can be said about 36, we have worked through most of the major issues. I’m available for -- for telephone conversation this evening if you all would like to do that. But our goal is to have an agreement that we can act on next Tuesday. We do need to amend the outstanding county policy in order to -- in order to do the changes that we have in mind, otherwise 36 will be ready next week, also. Any comments from any of you gentlemen? Well, we appreciate having you today. Sitting out there it's got to be a lot more fun than sitting up here. But hopefully we will get this done next week. 37 we did discuss in full and we have a motion on a -- on a 10 day contract.
>> I would make that motion, judge. In terms of the scope that has been laid out, the by alicia perez to turn that into an actual signed document in terms of scope, price, deliverables, et cetera. But to use the document that we were presented today to turn into an employment --
>> second.
>> any discussion? And we will be working maybe not so much with the contract but with the other issues as we discuss -- that we discussed related to this contract and the duties performed by ms. Perez, mr. Hobby and mr. Trimble for us, these two broad areas. I think next week we ought to have this posted so we can act on -- will it be ready next week? There are some options that we looked at, four on a page, I don't know whether others are not. One week or two weeks, look at those. And I do think we ought to land on them one way or the other, because we have got postings and I guess applications being submitted. Let's say two weeks, though.
