He asked that the application and all of the associated documents that have been submitted with it be admitted into evidenceinsupport our application. He also concurs and agrees with the conditions that Ms. Howell set forth in her presentation. He has to say that Ms. Howell has been very diligent in working with ustocheck all the boxes withthe Ordinance, there are a lot of requirements.We worked really hard to get to that point, plus we had a FAA backup because of some additional applications that are being submitted right nowrelated to 5G coverage that got us behind. We are hoping we can get that amended FAA,with the additional five feet back pretty soon. That is what kept us from getting on the agenda for a while. But we did get that in at 230 feet,and it will come back at 235 once weget that amendmentback,and we know that is a condition that we accept.
