Because I know that's the constant back and forth who's responsible for what.
0:59:45
Because we experienced that with a couple of the senses, especially when it came to the ovens and and and all the all the stones.
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez

Evans and stoves would be.
Chris Banks
0:59:55
Nitri.
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
0:59:56
No.
0:59:56
No.
0:59:56
Evans and stove would be aging.
Chris Banks
0:59:59
Aiding.
0:59:59
Okay.
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
1:00:00
The line for oven is
Chris Banks
1:00:02
The gas line.
1:00:03
Right?
1:00:03
That would
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
1:00:03
be the Alright.
1:00:04
Cool.
1:00:04
Ancels are nacho.
Chris Banks
1:00:06
Correct.
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
1:00:07
So you get the stove, and unless that gets done and upgraded, You know?
Chris Banks
1:00:12
Correct.
1:00:12
And that that was an impasse.
1:00:14
I knew a a brand new stove or oven that was there for at least 2, 3 years.
1:00:18
Uh-huh.
1:00:19
It was you know?
1:00:20
But in particular, how how does it affect the Rad Pack developments when it comes to Nitro because we know that it's a new management coming in.
1:00:34
They operate definitely differently.
1:00:37
To some degree.
1:00:39
But nevertheless, when it comes to repairs and and and and and I know particularly with with pen workman, which is a RadPat conversion, how are we still meeting the needs or the capital needs in that particular
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
1:00:53
situation?
1:00:54
Result, I think of a question you asked me of maybe 9 months ago or something.
1:01:00
What we've developed was an MOU.
1:01:03
That we gave to each agency and the MOU models, the the the operations, and the understanding we have with Nitro so that they will do that with each one of the rats, so that they have the same agreements that And and each one of those, as you know, is a 1 1 by 1 relationship.
1:01:26
But what we told nitrous, this is the MOU that each we we don't get we don't in big engage in that.
1:01:32
It's each center.
1:01:34
But we gave a draft m o u.
1:01:36
Somebody correct me if I'm saying it incorrectly.
1:01:39
Right?
1:01:40
We drafted an m o u for each one of the rags and the non profit agency.
