of Mullen Motors change of zone hearing. We do have a couple of minutes before 8:00 o'clock, and
we will wait until 8:00. There are more seats in here, if you would like to come in from the outside.
We would love to have you join us. Is the PA system on out there? Scott, can you hear us out there?
Would you like to come in and sit dOwn? There is ~m~any more seats up ~Ont here. While I do have a
moment I would just like to announce that on the 16 , and the 19~ of this month the empty house
that sits next to us here will be used once again by theFire Departments for training. They do fire
training. We have allowed them to use it before, and what they do is set off smoke bombs, and they
do smoke search and rescue life savings, which benefits the department in case of a fire in a home,
or anyplace, so if you happen to go past on the 16th, the 29th, and see smoke coming out of the
windows, it is okay. Any other day, pull the fire alarm. Thank you.

getting quite a few calls from Orient. LIPA is once again trimming trees, and they practically top the
entire trees,~ so those ofY°u who have sent in a note or a phone call we are talking with them. I t
usually doem't do too much good. They usually say the problem is, we plant the trees under the lines
to begin with and what do you prefer? Having the trees cut, or come winter the ice and snow on the
branches taking your electricity? SO it is an ongoing battle every time they decide they have to trim
the trees. We are placing our complaints with the company. If we ever get the lines underneath we
wouldn't have the problem. It is eight o'clock; may I have a motion to adjourn for a public hearing?
