The task force has two meetings left and so, the last two meetings we will be setting forward some recommendations, and i will let you know what those are primarily we have been doing fact finding and getting some information, and the one thing that has happened which i thought to me which is sort of a key element of the direction to go in, that we can identify, and i hope with the recommendation, is because of this wage Task Force Working together, with the City Attorney, the district attorney, and private law firms, and there was one entity that olse had and there were some wage theft and the business closed was going to sell the property and the entities were about to leave town, the employees alerted olse and because of the Wage Theft Task force it really, the people have established a relationship so, the City Attorney and the district attorney, and the privat
