I am not sure of the text of the final resolution unfortunately. To my knowledge, it was not publicly circulated before the board meeting yesterday. However, the attached file is one that Lousewies tweeted at the conclusion of the board meeting. Maybe we can ask her, when we meet her at 4pm today, for clarity around what was approved.

Ayden - thanks. Do we know what version of the text they approved? The last public communication as far as I know was the staff report below. Was the/a text circulated before the Board meeting?

Just in case you had not seen it there is a staff summary of the inputs
dating from late Jan:
