as of today we have 200 people on the list that we have canvased so now we have to go through on the next level, which is they say they can meet the requirements, the special conditions are not -- just the general requirements of our job, then we go down and try to figure out how many people we can actually interview and what the level is. so it's being very, the whole thing is being really controlled right now. there are, they don't have building inspectors, they don't have electrical inspectors. one inspector that you didn't mention is we do have, finally have a test for electrical inspectors that's been posted that a test will occur and i believe that's towards the end of november. so, you know, things as we mentioned, when dhr came here and said we're offering help to do the testing and stuff, we are seeing it, we're just a little behind in a couple months. i do expect that because this priority due to the redevelopment that that's going to be resolved fairly quickly and we'll be able to move on, the slow process of filling positions. the other thing tom mentioned is that we are
