Let's call to order the Travis County health facilities development corporation first item is -- only item in fact, 1. Consider and take appropriate action on the following requests: a, approve four invoices from the wellness program; and b, accept two $100 donations for the wellness program.
>> good afternoon, I’m harvey Davis, manager for the corporation. And dan mansour is here to answer any questions that you have regarding the expenses for the wellness program.
>>
>> we paragraphsly approved these or did we okay the --
>> I think you previously approved the expo center expenses.
>> okay.
>> yeah.
>> at the --
>> so we have been picking these up annually.
>> this is a first-time charge insofar as run Texas for the -- run tex for the coach and train the trainer program and one-time fee. The -- the fee is for the -- from the time we had our kickoff, our celebration, I believe it was in September, and the 12 week training leading up to the 5 k race.
>> so if we didn't approve this in advance and we never have before, why is it a good thing to do this time?
>> well, it is a fee charged by the run tex university for the training for providing coaches and trainers for the --
>> okay.
>> but normally we would approve the fee in advance.
>> yes.
>> did we know they were charged for this service?
>> yes.
>> not that it's -- I’m assuming it's worth it. You are telling us real soon I guess whether this is good value. But typically we would not -- it would not be after the fact that we approve --
>> we knew they were charging for the coaches and the fee for the university for the training that -- that was something that was billed along with the coach's fee.
>> the coach's fee is how much?
>> $500 a coach. Which there were three coaches.
>> so did we expect a $1,500 fee and we got one for 3500?
>> we expected there would be some university run tex university fees, but we weren't sure how much they were going to be. We should have had better documentation. I would say it's worth the fee they charged due to the fact that they did train two of our people to be trainers for future --
>> well, we have a wellness budget line item in the health facilities development corporation.
>> that's right, yes.
>> right now that amount is how much?
>> 19,267.69.

>> move approval.
>> second.
>> discussion? All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote. And two $100 donations, that's a 200 donation, right?
