of your 17 kind of carry over the number from 16 because that's the best you can do or - >> well, some of it - well, a lot of of it is the cost for instance, the rent and salary fringe is sent to me by the controller's office to be calculated on the positions and the fringe benefits some changes in like the specialized certifies like the interpreter our rates changed dromobut the postage goes up dramatically something like that but things tend to be pretty - >> so your equipment remedy and you computer support you don't see an inflation adjustment. >> well, the equipment rental is in contract that last for

several years and some of the costs like the rent order is fluid but tied to the salary and fringe benefits for those people only a few years we know because of the go contracts that were entered into that have a 3 year term but going into next year we'll have less of a clear picture of 2018 that will be outside of current contracts. >> i also want to commend our director on the short time i've been on the board he's it's very clear to read and understand i do appreciate all the effort
