President and Trustee Comments
Trustee Ostby stated two items for consideration. First, he requested revisiting the idea of
holding one Board meeting per month instead of two, suggesting it be considered as a summer-
long trial period, and asked that the topic be placed on the next work session agenda.
Second, regarding the Maplecrest project, he expressed appreciation for Trustee Nelson (who
was not present), noting that she was successful in securing an increase in the proposed square
footage for duplex units from what had originally been proposed. He characterized this change as
a positive and constructive improvement to the project.
President Stoner reported on prior discussion regarding the gravel road on 7th Place. He stated
that Public Works was asked to calculate the cost to pave the road, and the estimate was
approximately $21,673.32 per homeowner. He noted that there are four homeowners on the road
and indicated they would be responsible for the cost if they choose to proceed with paving.
He further stated that he had spoken at length with Jon Cameron from “Ehlers” (the Villages
financial advisor), who reportedly expressed concerns about proceeding with the Safer grant. He
stated they advised that it was not a good financial decision and suggested that accepting it could
create significant long-term financial strain, referencing the Village will be broke by 2029. He
also stated that their advice was to decline the grant and “give it back.”

Citizen Comments
Administrator Hurley read aloud the rules that were to be followed during public comments.
J. Michael McTeruan, 6633 Green Bay Road
Mr. McTeruan addressed the Board regarding the proposed land-in-trust acquisition application
submitted by the Menominee Tribe to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). He stated that, to his
knowledge, the Village of Somers did not receive notice of the environmental assessment,
comment periods, or Section 20 consultation notices that were reportedly provided to
surrounding municipalities. He encouraged the Village to submit comments to the BIA regarding
the proposal.
Mr. McTernan expressed concerns regarding the traffic impact analysis associated with the
proposed casino development near the Interstate 94 and Highway 50 corridor. He questioned
assumptions that a majority of traffic would avoid the Highway 50 interchange and instead
utilize alternate routes. He stated that existing traffic congestion in the area is already significant
and that additional casino traffic could worsen conditions.
He also raised concerns related to stormwater management and flooding within the Des Plaines
River watershed area, noting that the proposed site is heavily developed with pavement and
rooftops. He stated that he believed additional analysis and planning regarding drainage and
environmental impacts should be conducted.
Mr. McTernan further commented that the proposed development was incompatible with the
surrounding residential and rural character of the area, citing ongoing and planned housing
developments nearby. He expressed concern regarding potential impacts on Village services,
including police and fire protection, as well as other community impacts. He also noted that, if
the land were taken into trust, the property would not be subject to local property taxation.
Ted Terletzky, 9015 12
th Street
Mr. Terletzky addressed the Board with concerns related to the MasterCraft (Bella Terra
subdivision) development on Highway E. He stated that he was reviewing the project’s approval
history following earlier Planning Commission proceedings and a letter submitted on January 29
by Nancy Washburn on behalf of MasterCraft to county staff.
In the letter, it was indicated that the Bella Terra concept plan had been moved forward by the
Plan Commission on December 8, 2025. He stated he reviewed the December 8 agenda,
supporting packet materials, and meeting minutes and did not find any reference to MasterCraft
or the Bella Terra project. Based on this, he questioned how the letter could reference that
specific meeting and action.
He raised concerns about whether the reference could indicate a potential procedural issue,
including the possibility of an Open Meetings Law violation if discussions or direction occurred
4/76
outside of a properly noticed public meeting. He also raised alternative explanations, including
possible miscommunication, inaccurate referencing of dates, or whether the letter may contain an
error.
He requested that the Board investigate the matter, review any relevant public records or
communications, and determine how the referenced Planning Commission action was
represented in correspondence. He further emphasized the importance of transparency and stated
that clarification was necessary to address public perception and maintain confidence in the
process.
Guy Santelli, 1910 8
th Place
Mr. Santelli addressed the Board regarding agenda items 9 and 10.
On item 10, the Safer Act grant, he stated support for the Board’s motion to approve it but
expressed concern about long-term financial impacts, noting a desire to avoid future fiscal strain.
He suggested that alternative funding approaches could be considered, including potentially
returning to a referendum in the future after additional staffing cost data is available from the
Fire Chief. He also suggested that new ordinances could be implemented to help recoup costs
associated with ongoing development and subdivision activity.
On item 9, he expressed opposition and concern regarding continued residential development
density, referencing plans that include approximately 287 single-family homes and multiple
duplex units. He questioned the appropriateness of lot sizes and setbacks, particularly regarding
duplexes on narrow lots, and expressed concern that proposed setbacks may result in limited
separation between structures. He compared the density to other developments and stated his
belief that the design contributes to overcrowding.
He further raised concerns about public safety impacts, particularly fire risk and emergency
response challenges associated with closely spaced housing. He argued that increased residential
development places additional strain on fire and police services and questioned whether current
planning standards adequately account for those impacts.
Motion to award bid received for the 2026 Roadway Improvements Program (ValleyView
Subdivision) to Payne & Dolan in the amount of $571,571.00
Trustee Aupperle moved to approve bid for 2026 Roadway Improvements Program (ValleyView
Subdivision) to Payne & Dolan in the amount of $571,571.00
Seconded by Trustee Harbach
Trustee Harbach asked if there was a reason behind the duplicate number 571 and 571.
Superintendent Sullivan said no it was just the number they came back with.
President Stoner asked what the budget amount was. Superintendent stated it was $779,000.
Trustee Ostby stated that he would like to hold off on approving the funding sources at this time.

Motion to approve proposed amendment to the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
funds for the purchase of new pumps and delay the “super flush” project
Trustee Aupperle moved to approve amendment to the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
funds for the purchase of new pumps and delay the “super flush” project
Seconded by Trustee Harbach
Trustee Harback asked about the cause of increased infiltration at the lift station and why extra
assistance, including a vacuum truck, was needed.
Utility Manager Josh Fugate explained that infiltration is likely coming from underground pipe
issues such as failed joints or seals, though sump pump connections were also considered and
ruled out during a 2025 inspection in the Eaglewood area. He said the most reliable way to
identify the issue would be to televise the sewer lines.
He noted that unusually heavy rainfall in April (about 8–9 inches) greatly increased inflow and
worsened the problem. He added that the system struggled under these conditions but would
likely have handled the flow better with proposed pump upgrades in place. Because of the
overload, staff had to use a vacuum truck to help manage the system.
Motion carried 6-0 vote
Motion to approve Development Agreement subject to approval of final plans by the
Village Engineer, conditions outline in the Zoning memo dated Jan. 5, 2026, final
Declarations, and the final plat by the Village Board
Trustee Ostby moved to approve Development Agreement subject to approval of final plans by
the Village Engineer, conditions outline in the Zoning memo dated Jan. 5, 2026, final
Declarations, and the final plat by the Village Board.
Administrator Hurley stated that the agenda packet had been amended. He noted that he had been
out of the office on Thursday and Friday and had limited time to work on the item, but had been
coordinating with Ken Frank.
He reported that in the most recent amended packet, changes were made to the minimum square
footage requirements for duplex units to ensure compliance with R-5 zoning standards. He stated
that the single-story duplex requirement is now 1,000 square feet of finished area. For two-story
duplex units, the first floor minimum is 800 square feet with a total minimum of 1,500 square
feet. He concluded that both standards now meet zoning code requirements.

Motion to accept the FEMA SAFER Grant for 8 additional Firefighter / EMS positions and
amend the 2026 Budget accordingly
Trustee Aupperle moved to accept the FEMA SAFER Grant for 8 additional Firefighter / EMS
positions and amend the 2026 Budget accordingly
Seconded by Trustee Ostby
President Stoner stated that he had recently met with the Village’s financial advisors for over an
hour regarding the Safer Grant and the proposal to add eight firefighters. He reported that, based
on financial projections provided by the advisors, the Village would experience a significant
deficit by the end of 2029 if the staffing increase is implemented.
He stated that, in the advisors’ opinion, the Safer Grant should be returned and that the only
viable long-term option to address funding needs would be another referendum, noting that a
previous referendum had been rejected by voters. He expressed concern that the Village is
heading toward a serious financial shortfall and indicated that additional financial information
would be forthcoming in future meetings.
Trustee Harbach thanked the Fire Chief and the Fire Department for their efforts in pursuing the
SAFER Grant, noting that such grants are difficult to obtain and expressing appreciation for their
work.
He stated that when cost information was initially presented, the Board considered placing the
issue to referendum so residents could decide. He noted that a referendum was held, the costs
and tax impacts were presented to the public, and the measure was ultimately rejected by a 60–
40 vote.
He stated that, as an elected official, he feels obligated to follow the will of the voters and
therefore cannot support the SAFER Grant at this time. He reiterated respect for the department’s
needs and efforts but concluded that he would align his position with the outcome of the
referendum and the residents’ decision. He also said the Village took this referendum seriously
as we spent over $100,000 to make sure the citizens were informed.
Trustee Ostby stated that during Ehlers’ prior presentation, he believed the dollar amount of the
SAFER Grant was underestimated, noting that approximately one year of funding may not have
been fully included in the analysis. He stated that, in his view, this may have overstated the long-
term financial impact, and he was not aware that the figures had been corrected.
He acknowledged, however, that after the grant period ends—particularly after two years—the
Village would not be able to sustain the cost of eight additional firefighters based on the current
tax base.
He stated that possible next steps could include pursuing a retention grant as a follow-up funding
option and, if necessary, holding another referendum to seek voter approval for continued
7/76
staffing levels. He also noted that if such efforts are not successful, staff reductions may need to
be considered.
Trustee Fredrick stated that he appreciates the citizen comments received on the SAFER Grant
discussion and emphasized that elected officials must listen to and consider the voice of residents
when making decisions. He noted that the Board’s responsibility is to make decisions that
support and improve the lives of citizens.
He stated that, while difficult decisions will be required, the Village cannot continue with the
current status quo regarding fire department staffing and operations. He expressed concern about
the department functioning as a “training ground,” noting that paid-on-call firefighters often
leave after being trained, which he views as a recurring challenge.
He also referenced ongoing residential development and increasing service demands, stating that
additional housing growth and potential large-scale developments, such as a casino with mutual
aid responsibilities, will further increase pressure on emergency services. He stated that current
staffing levels are already strained and that additional support is needed for fire personnel.
He acknowledged the results of the referendum (60–40) but stated that he believes there is still a
responsibility to ensure adequate public safety coverage despite that outcome. He concluded that,
for these reasons, he will continue to support the SAFER Grant proposal.

Motion to approve the Site Plan Review and Exterior Fenestration, Richard J Investments
LLC, 2402 16th Pl., Kenosha, WI 53140 (Owner); Doug Anderson, subject to a Developer’s
Agreement with the Village of Somers
Trustee Harbach moved to approve Site Plan Review and Exterior Fenestration, Richard J
Investments LLC, 2402 16th Pl., Kenosha, WI 53140 (Owner); Doug Anderson, Parcel 82-4-
222-093-0461. For information purposes, this is at the end of 87th Avenue, near Shoreland
Lutheran High School.
President Stoner stated that he wanted to note that the motion should also include approval
contingent upon whether a DNR stormwater permit is required. He stated that the Village had
contacted the DNR for clarification, as there was currently some uncertainty regarding permit
requirements.
Trustee Harbach then referenced comments from the planner contained on page 99 of the packet,
specifically emphasizing the importance of adhering to lot lines and the areas surrounding the
buildings in accordance with the surveyor’s maps. He stated that the planner had underlined the
issue, indicated its significance, and stressed that the builder and developer need to be especially
mindful of complying with those requirements. He added that the matter had also been discussed
during the work session with the developer.
8/76
Trustee Aupperle asked why this developer didn’t need to put in sewer and water. Administrator
Hurley stated that he reviewed the ordinance regarding mandatory utility hookups and noted that
connections are only required if deemed “feasible” by the utility. He explained that this does not
automatically require all new construction to connect to municipal water service.
He stated that he could not comment on how the 12th Street water main issue had been handled
in the past but noted that the former Village attorney had written a memo on the matter and that
he had deferred to Chief Anderson regarding previous discussions.
He explained that the question of feasibility is open to interpretation and stated that extending
water service to the proposed seven units would require a substantial infrastructure extension. He
added that he was not aware of any ordinance requirement mandating that extension.
He concluded by stating that if the Village Board wishes to require the connection, he could
consult with the Village engineer to determine what the process would involve.

VILLAGE BOARD MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 26, 2026
TO: Village President Stoner and Board of Trustees
PREPARED BY: Jim Hurley, Administrator
REVIEWER: Josh Fugate, Utilities Manager
Kevin Poirier, Assistant Administrator
AGENDA ITEM: #8 Action on Change Order #1 for the 12th Street Watermain Project
to Replace Bid Set Drawings with the Construction Set Dated 3-
17-2026
BACKGROUND:
In February, the Village Board awarded the bid for the 12
th Street Water Main Project to
PTS Contractors, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $2,860,000. The alternate deduct was
approved with conditions by the Kenosha County DOT, reducing the total to $2,672,665.
The project included over $400,000 in contingencies for expenses including not limited
to legal, notifications, railroad permitting, and change orders for the project.
The Village contracted with Great Lakes to televise the sanitary sewer in Country
Charms, which includes 12
th Street. The Village requested that Great Lakes televise the
sanitary line prior to the watermain construction, but they did not have a crew available
during the original design schedule. After televising was completed in March, the Village
was able to identify the depths of the sewer laterals and update plans with PTS
Contractors.
Per Village Engineer Doug Snyder, the proposed change prevented the contractor from
damaging existing sewer laterals and rerouted the new watermain. Change Order #1
covers expenses to redesign the depths of the water main, additional fittings, drilling and
installation, backfilling and restoration work.
After changing from an open cut water main to a directional drill method, the total cost of
the additional work is $52,372.31.
SUGGESTED ACTION
25/76
In the event that the Village Board agrees with the suggested action, a suggested motion
to approve would be as follows:
“Motion to approve Change Order #1 for the 12th Street Water Main Project in
an amount not to exceed $52,372.31.”

VILLAGE BOARD MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 26, 2026
TO: Village President Stoner and Village Trustees
PREPARED BY: Jim Hurley, Administrator
AGENDA ITEM: #11 Action on V illage Board Pilot Meeting Schedule: June – August
2026
BACKGROUND:
Currently, the Village Board’s regular meetings are on the second and fourth Tuesdays of
the month, and work sessions on the first and third Tuesdays.
Ordinance S. 2.02 states Regular meetings of the Village Board shall be held on the
second Tuesday of each calendar month at 5:30 p.m., unless changed by a majority vote
of the Board for a good reason. There is no mention of the fourth Tuesday.
For comparison purposes, the Village of Pleasant Prairie’s Village Board meets twice per
month. The Village of Mount Pleasant schedules work sessions one hour prior to its two
monthly Village Board meetings.
My understanding is that the intent of weekly meetings was to limit the debate and
discussion to work session meetings. However, it is not uncommon for meetings, both
work sessions and regular meetings, to extend over ninety minutes.
Given the Somers Village Board meets four Tuesdays per month, Village staff devote a
significant amount of time to preparing packets and items for meetings. Additionally,
packets are expected to be finalized and posted by Friday prior to the meeting, limiting
staff to three days of preparation from the prior meeting.
UPDATE
I agree with Trustee Ostby’s recommendation that the Village Board consider a “pilot”
meeting schedule to reduce the number of monthly meetings while allowing staff
additional time to prepare items for consideration by the Board. By improving the quality
of materials and information for the Village Board, the Board and the public will be more
informed prior to meetings and enrich discussions.
49/76
Village staff recommend continuing to schedule work sessions for the 1st and 3rd
Tuesdays of the month.
P
er S. 2.02, Regular Village Board meetings will continue to be scheduled for the 2nd
Tuesdays of the month. On 3rd Tuesdays, staff will present optional items for future
action to the Village Board. The Board will provide directions, and then the Board will
reconvene on the 1st Tuesdays to review proposals from staff. The Village Board will
have the opportunity to provide feedback so staff can update and finalize items for
possible action at Regular Village Board meetings.
H
ere is the proposed pilot meeting schedule:
Dates Meeting Types
2-Jun Work Session
9-Jun Board Meeting
16-Jun Work Session
7-Jul Work Session
14-Jul Board Meeting
21-Jul Work Session
4-Aug Work Session
12-Aug Board Meeting
18-Aug Work Session
I
f the Village Board feels 30 days is too long for a break for public comments, then I
suggest either adding to the 1st or 3rd Tuesday work sessions. I recommend the 1st
Tuesday because the packets will include more materials for review by the public.
I
f an item requires emergency action, then we will schedule a special meeting.
I
n August, I will bring this item back to a work session for discussion about the meeting
schedule from September forward.

AGENDA ITEM: #12 Adopt Resolution 2026-016, Urging the State of Wisconsin to
E
nact a Sustainable Transportation Funding Solution
B
ACKGROUND:
Last month, the League of Wisconsin Municipalities (LWM) reached out requesting the
Village’s support for a long-term, sustainable funding solution to the state’s
Transportation Fund. The aim is to represent a growing number of local governments
expressing their support for more local transportation assistance as they prepare to head
into the next state biennial budget in 2027.
T
he League cites a decline in road quality, and consumer price index outpacing the
state’s investment in the General Transportation Aids, resulting in municipalities
dedicating a higher proportion of local property tax revenue to transportation projects.
E
xploring and adopting long-term solutions will ensure local transportation projects may
be funded now and in the future.
A
doption of the proposed template resolution will support the League and transportation
partners articulate the need for self-sustaining funding.

VILLAGE OF SOMERS
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-016
RESOLUTION URGING THE GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN AND THE
STATE LEGISLATURE TO ENACT A COMPREHENSIVE,
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION FUNDING SOLUTION
WHEREAS, local units of government in Wisconsin own and maintain approximately
90% of the public road miles in the state, including city and village streets, county highways, and
town roads; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s economy—rooted in manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism—
relies on a safe, reliable, and well-maintained transportation network; and
WHEREAS, local governments greatly appreciate the one-time infusions of General
Purpose Revenue, primarily sales and income taxes, and other revenue provided in recent state
budgets, which have enabled the initiation and continuation of the successful and popular Local
Roads Improvement Program Supplemental (LRIP-S); and
WHEREAS, despite modest increases from the state over the years, transportation aids to
local governments remain insufficient to keep pace with inflation and rising construction costs,
leaving many communities funded below 2000 levels in real dollars; and
WHEREAS, local governments throughout Wisconsin continue to struggle to perform
even routine maintenance, pavement preservation, and safety improvements, resulting in
deteriorating roads and bridges; and
WHEREAS, the inaugural inventory and assessment of small bridges between 6 to 20
feet found about 10% of the nearly 17,000 structures to be in poor or severe condition; and
WHEREAS, levy limits and other fiscal constraints prevent local governments from
independently filling the funding gap created by inadequate state transportation aids; and
WHEREAS, absent sustainable state funding, many communities have been forced to
address their shortfalls by significantly increasing borrowing, deferring essential projects, or
imposing local vehicle registration (“wheel”) taxes; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin motorists currently pay among the lowest transportation user fees
in the Midwest, while neighboring states and dozens of others nationwide have enacted long-
term revenue measures to keep their transportation systems competitive; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin is increasingly relying on General Purpose Revenues to make
needed investments, potentially pitting transportation against other vital services, such as
education; and
53/76
WHEREAS, continued lack of growing, dedicated, and predictable revenue places
Wisconsin at a growing economic disadvantage by threatening the efficiency of freight
movement, the safety of travelers, and the attractiveness of our state to businesses and residents;
and
WHEREAS, both Wisconsin’s aging Interstate highway system—largely constructed in
the 1950s and 1960s—and our extensive network of state and local roads require predictable,
adequate, and sustainable funding to meet current and future needs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Somers Village Board strongly urges
the Governor of Wisconsin and the State Legislature to enact a comprehensive, sustainable
transportation funding solution that:
1. Provides adequate and reliable revenue growth for the efficient long-term
planning and execution of state and local transportation programs;
2. Includes responsible and prudent use of General Purpose Revenue and
bonding;
3. Adjusts any new and existing transportation user fees and other revenue
mechanisms to sustain purchasing power in order to maintain and improve
Wisconsin’s transportation infrastructure; and
4. Ensures transportation continues to deliver for Wisconsin by adequately
funding reconstruction, preservation, and safety investments on the state and local
systems.
5.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the clerk is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this
resolution to the Governor’s office, all members of the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly
representing districts within [County/City/Village/Town], and the League of Wisconsin
Municipalities.

ENDA ITEM: #13 Adopt Village Board Ordinance 2026-002, Worthless Payment
Charge, Overpayments
B
ACKGROUND:
Each tax season, the Village/Town receives multiple overpayments of less than $5.
Generally, the cost of refunding the payment, plus postage, is more expensive than $5.
K
enosha County and the Village of Pleasant Prairie have adopted ordinances allowing the
governing body to retain small overpayments unless a written request for a refund is
made within 90 days. Their ordinances also include charges to the payer for checks or
transactions returned by the bank due to insufficient funds.
T
he adoption of a similar ordinance by the Village will reduce staff time and costs for
minor refunds, and recoup bank costs for payments returned by the bank.

The Village Board of Trustees and the Village of Somers, Kenosha County, Wisconsin, hereby
creates Section 3.09 of the Code of Ordinances of the Village of Somers to read as follows:
A. Purpose. It is the intent of the Village of Somers Board that this section will promote the

partnership, corporation, joint venture or association.

payment to any Village of Somers official, employee, department, or office shall be liable
to the Village for payment of the amount for which the check or payment was tendered
and an additional charge of up to $30. This additional charge shall be uniform in amount
and application and shall be comparable to charges for worthless checks and payments
made by establishments in the private sector.
D. Overpayments. The Village may retain overpayments made when such overpayment does
not exceed $5, unless a written request for a refund of such overpayment is made within
90 days.

TO: Village President Stoner and Village Trustees
PREPARED BY: Jim Hurley, Administrator
AGENDA ITEM: #14 Approve order and installation of a keyswitch to the basement
elevator from Schindler Elevator Corporation for $3,661.62.
BACKGROUND:
Village staff reviewed options to add a lock to the elevator to the basement.
Initially, the Village considered adding a key fob. The option is cost prohibitive because
Schindler, the Village’s elevator maintenance contractor, would need to schedule a full
crew to tie up the elevator, and oversee the work of another third party contractor. The
total cost is nearly $20,000.
A keypad was also explored. The quote from Schindler is for $7,697.43.
The most cost-effective option is a keyswitch for $3,661.62. Keys could be maintained by
administration, clerk/treasurer, public works, and the fire/ems department.
The work was not budgeted, but staff recommend proceeding with the work now to
optimize building security.
UPDATE:
Following the May 19 work session, I reached out to Schindler Elevator to confirm that
they will hold the pricing if approved at tonight’s Village Board meeting.
SUGGESTED ACTION/ACTION REQUESTED/COMMENTS:
In the event that the Village Board agrees with the suggested action, a suggested motion
to approve would be as follows:
58/76
“Motion to approve the quote from Schindler Elevator Corporation for installing
a keyswitch to the basement elevator in an amount not to exceed $3,661.62.”

Dear Ms. Burnette,
Hawthorn Hollow will be holding our Pike River Benefit Concert series this year on June 12, July 10, August
7 and Sept 25. We are applying for Temporary Class B (Malt Beverage) licenses for all four of these events.
We are also applying for Class “B” (Wine) Licenses for the June 12 and August 7 events.
The sale of alcoholic beverages such as wine, seltzer and craft beer help with the proceeds of these events,
and add to the flavor of the day. If granted the Temporary Class B and Class “B” Licenses, could you please
ask the Village Board to waive the accompanying fees for these fundraising events on our behalf?
Hawthorn Hollow is owned and operated by the H. Chris Hyslop Foundation, a private 501c(3) non-profit
organization. The 90 acre Nature Sanctuary is comprised of three miles of trails meandering through the
woods of the Pike River Valley, virgin and restored prairies, pe rennial gardens, a nature center, three
historic buildings, the Heritage Farmstead, an Observatory, and a 12 acre ArbNet Level One Accredited
Arboretum. Hawthorn Hollow hosts over 6,000 students a year with over 30 educational programs. All
proceeds from t hese events provide funds to continue the maintenance operations of this treasured
natural resource
We are looking forward to another successful year and hope that you will join us.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Haag
