There
was
question

be
clear
that

separate
independent
company
called
Stillwater
Stillwater

Yeah

for
clarifying
that
I
recall.
That

a
question
of
whether

anything
to
do

city,
and
it
did
not
it's
a
several
vendor

has
that
same
name,
any

in

presented
by

please
signify
by
saying
aye
and
opposed
those
items
all
carry.

concludes

want
to
