just transfer it over to amancio grill once the abcc approves the application so I just want to do I do want to notify the board in office of Camp alone I inadvertently forgot to submit a quarry application for Mr cadero I do have his car application with me this evening and a driver's license so if the board does approve the transfer would be subject to a clean Quarry from Mr cadero thank you

for that thank you for that suggestion so again now we have this application so we've had a uh I'm the Corey background was on only miss Molina that is correct okay okay any so any comments or something submitted in there for the other for the gentleman that's that's why I'm saying it inadvertently omitted so if the board that's a lot of paperwork don't make him all right it's because the person that delivered

it forgot to bring all right so so again we would have a uh we would potentially have an approval of the transfer with the condition that the transfer is is only allowed to take place once we have the appropriate paid for work in the clear Quarry for um Mr cadero it's up to the board's pleasure at this point make a motion all alcohol common Victory is licensed to a Montiel Grill LLC subject to a
