Vice Chair Peloza moved and Member Wales seconded to approve
the May 30, 2014 meeting minutes.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 3 -0
III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Transition to Study Sessions
The Committee discussed the June 26th Special City Council
Meeting that SeaTac Mayor Mia Gregerson presented the City of
SeaTac's transition from council committees to study sessions.
Member Wales stated she does not want the Study Sessions and
Council Meetings on the same night. The Committee proposed the
study sessions be held at 5:00 p.m. the second and fourth Monday;
Page 1 of 3
CA.A Page 3 of 39
Council Meetings at 7:00 p.m. the first and third Monday; and
Committee of the Whole at 5:30 p.m. on a fifth Monday of the month.
The Committee noted the Committee of the Whole Meetings will be
regular standing meeting but may be cancelled if there is no
business. The Committee asked for a time estimate for each item to
be added to the study session agenda. The time allotted for each
item will be set by the Mayor. The study sessions will be chaired by
the Mayor. The only remaining standing Council Committee will be
the Council Operations Committee. The finance claims and payroll
vouchers could be emailed to the whole council prior to the study
session. If a Councilmember has a question regarding a voucher
they can either email the Finance Director or ask at their
question study session.
The Committee discussed the ad -hoc committee format. The Mayor
will appoint a chair and committee members to an ad -hoc
committee. Chair Wagner stated he believes volunteers should be
solicited but the Mayor will have the final say on who is appointed to
an ad -hoc committee.
The Committee discussed the committee matrixes provided in the
packet. City Attorney Heid stated a matrix is useful for long term
planning. Director Snyder stated he believes the City of SeaTac
receives updates on City business via e-mail updates. Chair Wagner
requested this item be placed on the next Council Operations
Committee agenda for further discussion.
The Committee discussed the pro / con list provided in the packet.
Vice Chair Peloza requested the reduction in printing costs be
added to the pro list. He also stated he did not agree with the con
regarding councilmember involvement. Chair Wagner and Member
Wales both agreed that some councilmembers may have a difficult
time speaking up in a larger group setting.
The Committee discussed the procedure for issuing right -of -way
permits and leak adjustments. The Committee stated staff could
issue right -of -way permits and leak adjustments. Vice Chair Peloza
stated citizens need to have the ability to appeal the staff decision.
The Committee decided a citizen could appeal to the Mayor, the
Mayor would inform Council when an appeal is requested.
The Committee discussed the Mayor signing authority limits without
Council approval. Member Wales expressed concerns regarding
raising the limit. Mayor Backus stated some other cities use a
formula similar to $1,000.00 per thousand citizens. Vice Chair
Peloza requested staff pool the surrounding cities for their policy.
Deputy Mayor Wagner noted the current code allows the Mayor to
sign a contract for items already approved for in the adopted budget
Page 2 of 3
CA.A Page 4 of 39
without additional Council approval.
Chair Wagner stated he believed the Council needs to be involved in
the setting of design standards. The enforcement could be handled
at the administration level.
Chair Wagner stated the Committee would need to pair down the
committee matrixes. Vice Chair Peloza said he did not think they
would be necessary under the new system. Member Wales express
a desire to have the capital projects matrix remain the
same. Director Snyder said he understand many jurisdictions give
this information as updates via email to Council. He will develop
samples for the next meeting.
The committee requested the June 28, 2014 meeting be
rescheduled from 2:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
IV. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:17 a.m.
Approved this day of July, 2014.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CITY CODE & BUSINESS PRACTICE
CHANGES — COUNCIL STUDY SESSION FORMAT
COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
The City Council, itself, operates in a committee structure - it operates as a collective
among its members. That is, it operates by the participation of its members moving,
approving and adopting action - passing resolutions and ordinances, approving
contracts and policies. These are done in the collective among the Council body, by
motion, second, discussion and vote.
Aside from, and as a part of the City Council itself, it can utilize committees to aid in its
roles and functions. Those committees could be (1) Committee of the Whole, (2)
Standing Committees and (3) Ad Hoc Committees.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
The Committee of the Whole involves the full membership of the City Council and is
similar to the (regular) City Council meetings except as limitations may be placed upon
this committee structure, e.g., not used for taking formal action, used for lengthy
presentations to the City Council, etc.
STANDING COMMITTEES
Standing Committees - similar to what the City Council now uses - Public Works,
PCDC, Municipal Services, Finance, etc. Consistent with other information provided to
the City Council, there are pros and cons in connection with keeping the current
Standing Committee structure versus moving to a Study Session format. However,
there may still be the need for a Standing Committee such as, for instance, the Council
Operations Committee which has a unique function to the City Council. However, the
formality with which a committee is formed is one of the factors that relates to whether it
must comply with the Open Public Meetings Act and whether it triggers quorum
considerations, something that has been a challenge for councilmembers. The more
that the City Council can move away from Standing Committees, the more easily it will
be able to address its issues without having to contend with the artificial limit of a two -
person quorum triggering Open Public Meetings Act concerns.
Staff recommended that the only Standing Committee be the Council Operations
Committee.
AD Hoc COMMITTEES
Ad Hoc Committees - committees set up for a specific or limited purpose - could be set
up to address specific issues or to function for only that period of time related to the
purposes for which it was established.
July 23, 2014
Page 1
DI.A Page 7 of 39
The City Council, during a Study Session [following the consensus of a majority of the
Councilmembers] or at a Regular City Council meeting [following the vote of a majority
of the Councilmembers], may establish an Ad Hoc Committee comprised of 2 to 3
Councilmembers maximum.' The Committee should be formed to conduct substantive
research or review on a specific national, regional or local issue or project and advise
the City Council on the findings of their efforts. A Committee should only be formed if
the issue or project is of a significant nature warranting the additional commitment of
Councilmembers' time and energy. A Committee should perform its service for a limited
duration of time within the timeframe established as part of the initial Council consensus
(e.g. report back in 90 days to the full City Council).
The Mayor should identify and assign the appropriate staffing resources to support an
Ad Hoc Committee, if applicable. The Ad Hoc Committee should not give direction to
involved staff to conduct any supporting work unless pre- approved by the Mayor. If the
Committee wants additional staff work or staff support, the Committee should make a
request directly to the Mayor.
When the need for an ad hoc committee is identified by the City Council, the Mayor
shall appoint the members of the Ad Hoc Committee. The Mayor may solicit volunteers
among Council members to serve on the Ad Hoc Committee. However, the Mayor is
expected to appoint to the Ad Hoc Committee those members of the City Council who
the Mayor feels would be best able to meet the needs of and purposes for the Ad Hoc
Committee. When the Mayor appoints members of the Council to an Ad Hoc
Committee, the Mayor shall also appoint the City Councilmember who shall serve as
chair of the Ad Hoc Committee.
OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS ACT IMPLICATIONS
An Ad Hoc Committee would not be required to follow the Open Public Meetings Act so
long as there will not be a quorum of the full City Council, and so long as it understands
that it does not — cannot take public testimony or receive statements from the public
If the City Council wished for its Ad Hoc Committee to solicit or receive public comment
or take public testimony in connection with its Ad Hoc Committee functions, the
committee would fall within the parameters of the Open Public Meetings Act and its
meetings would need to comply with the Act - its meetings would need to be recorded
and they would trigger quorum limitations.
However, again, so long as the Ad Hoc Committee targets its functions at reviewing
material, investigating matters that will be coming before the full City Council and
preparing recommendations to the City Council - not taking any action independent for,
1 The reason for the 2 to 3 councilmember committee membership is to avoid a quorum issue regarding the full
City Council, where for members constitute a quorum of the City Council.
July 23, 2014
Page 2
DI.A Page 8 of 39
on behalf of or instead of the full City Council - it would not fall under the requirements
of the Open Public Meetings Act.
HOW AD HOC COMMITTEES COULD WORK
An informal Ad Hoc Committee intended to operate outside the Open Public Meetings
Act could function as follows:
• The Ad Hoc Committee would be comprised of 2 to 3 members of the City
Council (a number less than the quorum of the full City Council);
• Ad Hoc Committee would (only) consider information and materials provided to it
by staff in response to the purpose for which the Ad Hoc Committee was
established;
• Ad Hoc Committee would not receive public comment or take public testimony at
its meetings (to the extent that if members of the public were in attendance at the
Ad Hoc Committee's meetings, they would need to understand that the meeting
would not accommodate public comment or statements from the public)2;
• Ad Hoc Committee would take no action on behalf of or instead of the full City
Council, but would report its findings to the full City Council and make its
recommendations to the full City Council.
MEETING FOCUSES
Meeting focuses for Council study sessions should be on substantive policy, financial,
risk management, organizational or strategic planning issues, projects and initiatives.
Presentations may be given by outside individuals or parties if they are germane and
relevant to the substantive topic being discussed. Individuals or organizations that are
interested in giving general updates or program overviews or are seeking Council
support for a particular matter should be directed by the Mayor's Office to give these
presentations at a Regular Council Meeting or at a meeting of the Council Committee of
the Whole.
RIGHT -OF -WAY PERMITS
ACC 12.60 (Right -of -Way Permits) currently specifies that the Public Works Committee
is involved in the consideration of certain Type B short -term right -of -way permits (ACC
12.60.040) and Type C long -term permits (ACC 12.60.050). Specifically these are
permits that involve downtown, community impacts, full street closures, or uses with
policy implications. The issuance of right -of -way permits is a technical action that can be
conducted under the direction and the authority of the City Engineer.
2 The limitation of public comment and public testimony is crucial in order for the Ad Hoc Committee to function
outside the requirements of the Open Public Meetings Act.
July 23, 2014
Page 3
DI.A Page 9 of 39
Staff would recommend eliminating current City Code references to the
involvement of the Public Works Committee in the issuance of right -of -way
permits, and that the City Council authorize the City Engineer to issue Right -of-
Way Permits in conformity with Council policy.
UTILITY SERVICE WATER LEAK ADJUSTMENTS
There are no current City Code regulations that direct the process for the conduct of
utility service water leak adjustments. Rather, the City's policy pertaining to utility
service water leak adjustments is contained in Administrative Policy and Procedure 100-
52 that is issued by the Mayor's Office.
Section 4.8 of Administrative Policy and Procedure 100 -52 specifies that if a customer
disputes the decision to deny the adjustment or the approved adjustment amount
exceeds $500.00, he or she may submit a written request to the Finance Director for an
administrative review of the adjustment request by the City Council Public Works
Committee. This Section further states that leak adjustments will be considered by the
Public Works Committee including additional adjustments of 50% of the remaining water
portion over $500.00. This Section specifies that recommendations for leak adjustments
made by the Public Works Committee will be submitted to the full City Council for final
consideration and approval.
The inclusion of the Public Works Committee and the City Council in the appeal process
for utility service water adjustment appeals is a business practice that is not required by
current City Code or mandated by statute. The Finance Director is responsible for the
management of the City's water utility billing system and can effectively exercise
professional judgment in any appeals of a decision to deny an adjustment or if the
approved adjustment amount exceeds $500.00. Staff recommend that Section 4.8 of
Administrative Policy and Procedure 100 -52 be revised to eliminate references to the
Public Works Committee and City Council with the launch of the new Council study
session format.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Finance Director to make water
leak adjustments in conformity with Council policy, and with any appeals going to the
Mayor or designee.
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Chapter 3.10 (Purchasing Policy) of the Auburn City Code comprises the City's current
purchasing policies. ACC 3.10.020 (Expenditure Limits) specifies that for contracts with
total dollar amounts up to $5,000, authority rests at the department director level. It
further specifies that for all contracts over $5,000, up to $25,000, and contracts for
goods and services that have been individually and separately listed in the city's
annual budget shall be approved and signed by the mayor prior to purchase
order issuance or placement of an order with vendors For all unbudgeted
July 23, 2014
Page 4
DI.A Page 10 of 39
expenditures not individually and separately listed in the City's annual budget in excess
of $25,000, approval shall be obtained from the Mayor, the appropriate council
committee and the city council and that such committee approval shall be reflected in
the committee minutes.
Staff notes that current City code authorizes the Mayor to sign contracts for all goods
and services that have been individually and separately listed in the City's annual
budget process. The current business practice of the Public Works Committee
reviewing all contracts for goods and services including those listed in the City's budget
is not a requirement of current City code. The City Council determines whether these
goods and services will be funded as part of the approval of the City's budget or any
adjustments. From this point, the Mayor, working with the appropriate Department and
City Attorney's Office, should, in conformance with current City code, be able to
coordinate the execution of all required contracts. Staff would recommend that this
business practice be eliminated with the launch of the new Council study session
format and that the Council rely upon and trust the professional expertise of the
Mayor and staff in executing contracts for goods and services (i.e. all capital
projects and professional services budgets for all Departments) that have been
individually and separately listed in the City's budget.
Current City code specifies that unbudgeted expenditures not individually and
separately listed in the city's annual budget in excess of $25,000, approval shall be
obtained from the Mayor, the appropriate council committee and the city council.
Because the specified amount of $25,000 exceeds the Mayor's current expenditure
limit, these items will require separate City Council action. The elimination of the Public
Works Committee review of these types of expenditures will in effect remove a process
step resulting in greater time and cost efficiencies. Staff would recommend that this
code language be eliminated with the launch of the new Council study session
format and that contracts for goods and services that are not individually and
separately listed in the City's budget and in excess of $25,000 proceed
immediately to Council for consideration.
Section 3.10.028 (Approval by Council Committee of Asset and /or System Expansion,
Additions and Betterments) of the Auburn City Code specifies that asset and /or system
expansions, additions, and betterments that have been recognized as authorized capital
projects exceeding $25,000 in the budget shall be reviewed by the appropriate council
committee to formally initiate the project prior to a call for bids. Staff would
recommend that this code language be eliminated with the launch of the new
Council study session format and that the Council rely upon and trust the
professional expertise of the Mayor and staff to initiate inclusive of project
bidding asset and /or system expansions, additions, and betterments that have
been recognized as authorized capital projects exceeding $25,000 in the budget.
Section 3.12.034 requires that the City Council award construction contracts in excess
of $25,000 therefore, contracts for these initiated projects would need to be reviewed
and approved by the full City Council prior to these projects moving forward.
July 23, 2014
Page 5
DI.A Page 11 of 39
Sections 3.12.011 (Formal Advertisement Required) and 3.12.020 (Advertising
Procedures) of the Auburn City Code contain the City's current regulations pertaining to
the advertising of public works projects in excess of $200,000. Current code language in
these sections do not specify that the Public Works Committees must grant approval to
advertise. Rather, this is a current business practice with no code basis. Staff would
recommend that this business practice be eliminated with the launch of the new
Council study session format. The full City Council would review and approve or
disapprove any public works construction contracts as allowed by City Code.
Section 3.12.034 (Procedure for Utilization of Small Works Roster) of the Auburn City
Code currently requires the City Council award all construction contracts in excess of
$25,000. Contracts under $25,000 are awarded by the Director. Current state law has
several limits related to construction contracting as it relates to our "code city" status as
follows:
1. Under Bid Limits: up to $40,000 for single trade and $65,000 for multiple trade
2. Limited Public Works: up to $35,000
3. Small Works: up to $300,000
City code currently restricts small works limits to up to $200,000 and is more restrictive
than state law. Staff uses the various limits identified above and the differences in the
contract requirements provided by each option to determine the appropriate type of
contract to issue for each project. Staff would recommend that the limitation on the
award of construction contracts by the Director be adjusted to be in line with
State bid limits for budgeted projects and that the small works limits be revised to
reference the appropriate RCW limits so that as state law changes staff can make
the most efficient and effective use of the options available for contracting work.
CONSULTANT AGREEMENTS
Chapter 2.03.030 (Powers and Duties Generally) of the Auburn City Code currently
authorizes the Mayor to negotiate and /or award contracts falling within the budget
authority of the Mayor per Chapter 3.10.020 and indicates that these contracts may be
taken to the City Council as consent or discussion items for informational purposes.
Chapter 3.10.020 (Expenditure Limits) provides authority to the Mayor to execute
contracts for unbudgeted items up to $25,000 and for any contracts that are listed in the
City's annual budget. This provides for any professional, personal, or construction
contract for projects listed in the annual budget or within the professional services line
items of each departmental budget.
In addition, Chapter 3.10.25 (Professional and Personal Services) of the Auburn City
Code specifies when to take amendments to professional and personal services
agreements to the City Council for approval and is specifically tied to the expenditure
July 23, 2014
Page 6
DI.A Page 12 of 39
authority such that amendments that are within budget are not required to be approved
by the Council but only those changes that exceed the Mayor's authority for unbudgeted
items.
The submittal of consultant agreements to the Council for approval has been a
previously established business practice. Staff would recommend that this business
practice be eliminated with the launch of the new Council study session format
and that the Council rely upon and trust the professional expertise of staff in
preparing professional services contracts as allowed by the current code
authority.
OBTAINMENT & RELEASE OF TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT EASEMENTS
Chapter 12.04.050 (Authorities for Public Infrastructure and Right -of -Way Management)
of the Auburn City Code currently authorizes the City Engineer to accept easements
granted to the City as part of an approved development project for city utilities,
drainage, slope protection, public access, and right -of -way. This Chapter further grants
that the City Engineer after review by the Public Works Committee, may execute a
release or partial release of any city utility, drainage, temporary road, or slope protection
easements that are no longer needed for city purposes. All other city -held easements
require action by the City Council. While this allows the city to accept easements and
right -of -way related to development projects, formal action by the Council is required to
accept easements and right -of -way associated with City capital projects. Current
business practice has been to grant City staff the ability to procure rights for capital
projects through a resolution of the City Council.
In addition, the City's current business practice is that the Public Works Committee must
concur with the release of temporary easements obtained or provided to the City for
construction or other similar purposes. Because the relationship to the land is temporary
in nature no further action by the City Council is necessary. For permanent easements
granted to or obtained by the City, the Public Works Committee must concur with the
release of easements related to utilities, drainage or slope protection. For all other types
of easement releases, City Council must accept them and approve their release unless
City Council delegates these authorities to the Mayor. Staff would recommend for
improved efficiencies that the City Council adopt Code language authorizing the
Mayor or designee (e.g. City Engineer) to obtain and release temporary and
permanent easements related to utilities, drainage, slope protection, and
temporary uses.
DESIGN STANDARDS
Chapter 12.04.010 (Adoption of Engineering Construction Standards and Engineering
Design Standards) of the Auburn City Code stipulates that the engineering design
standards must be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee. These
July 23, 2014
Page 7
DI.A Page 13 of 39
standards include clearing and grading, City utilities, private utilities, streets, and City
telecommunication facilities. Staff would recommend that this business practice be
eliminated with the launch of the new Council study session format. The City
Engineer should have the authority to establish and modify these design
standards as necessary. However, because these design standards affect the
community's quality of life, the City Engineer should review the establishment of
new standards or the modification of existing standards with the full City Council
in a study session format and make any necessary adjustments, if applicable,
prior to publication of the standards specifically where there is a policy
implication.
FINANCE ISSUES
There are a number of City Council related functions concerning finance, including
voucher review. Staff would recommend that vouchers be sent to all
councilmembers for their review in advance of a Council meeting so that any
questions by any of them could be forwarded to the Mayor or to the Finance
Director for actions or responses.
Quarterly Report: it may also be valuable for all of the Councilmembers to receive a
written or electronic quarterly financial report from the finance director. This report could
be used to apprise the Council of the current status of budgets, ongoing financial issues
and other matters that may relate to the financial operations of the City. If any
councilmembers have questions about the quarterly financial report, those could be
directed to the Mayor or to the Finance Director.

Regular Meeting /Study Session Alternative Business Practice
Conceptual Format
Meetings Format
• First Meeting of the Month — Regular Council Meeting - - 7:00 p.m.
• Second Meeting of the Month — Council Study Session - - 5:30 p.m.
• Third Meeting of the Month — Regular Council Meeting - - 7:00 p.m.
• Fourth Meeting of the Month — Council Study Session - - 5:30 p.m.
• Fifth Monday of the Month — Council Committee of the Whole - - 5:30 p.m.1
Study Sessions — Key Aspects
• 2. Hour Maximum Timeframe
• Maximum 5 agenda items
• Timeframe per agenda item – up to 30 to 40 minutes
• Meeting facilitation — Mayor shall preside over /conduct Study Sessions
• Agenda Items:
• Should be related to future policy- making, strategic planning or key state
or federal issues affecting current or future City operations
• Substantive only (e.g. traffic impact fee increase proposal, comprehensive
plan update)
• Non - substantive items (e.g. acceptance of a grant, contract bidding)
should go directly to City Council
Institute First/Second reading business, protocol at Regular Council Meetings:
• Applicable to Ordinances only
• Resolutions /consent items /contract awards, etc. would still be acted on at only
one Regular Council Meeting:
o Ordinance action, especially those resulting in changes to City codes – to
which First and Second Readings would apply – may take more
consideration and discussion than other types of action
o First and Second Readings would be beneficial to a transparent public
process
• First Reading — discussion only at one Regular Council Meeting
• Second Reading — action at next Regular Council Meeting or could be a future
subsequent Council meeting depending on Council's discussion and any
needed staff follow -up2
• Provides Council with opportunity to ask questions and get information at First
Reading
1 Committee of the Whole meetings may be cancelled if not needed, but would be regularly scheduled.
2 If action is needed to be taken more promptly, the City Council could by motion duly made and seconded and
passed by a majority of Councilmembers present, suspend the rules and take action at First Reading
DI.A Page 15 of 39
PROs /CONs for Change to Council Study Session Format
Study Session Purpose Summary: The purpose of a City Council study session is to
provide a forum for information sharing and discussion on topics or issues that the City
Council or Mayor believes there should be in depth information and warrants gathering
and discussion on before the council takes any action. Issues should be substantive in
nature and should be related to future policy- making, strategic planning or key regional,
state or federal issues related to future policy- making or current or future budgeting.
Pros
• Reinforces City Council's "Board of Directors' responsibilities and helps to reinforce
and respect the lines between the policy and financial functions of Council versus
the executive /administrative functions of the Mayor and City Administration.
• Increases transparency in the governmental process by providing a single forum for
discussion of key policy issues or topics, and avoiding what may appear as less
meaningful Council meetings [all the real work of the City Council is done in the
comm ittees].
• Reduced limitations on public access and information distribution to Council
proceedings. Some of the committees meet during or meet immediately following
normal work hours (i.e. 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) making it difficult for interested
citizens to attend the current committee meetings.
• Forces Council to keep on -topic and reduces the potential for off -topic
conversations.
• Reinforces and enhances the advisory relationships between City Council and its
advisory boards and commissions by having recommendations flow through to the
entire Council at the same time for joint consideration.
• Provides Council with the opportunity to talk jointly about issues without fear of
violation of the Open Public Meetings Act.
• Provides opportunity for more focused conversation on key policy issues amongst
Council.
• Assures that information is distributed more equally among Councilmembers. Allow
all Councilmembers to hear the same information at the same time.
• Allows for Councilmembers to discuss among themselves the issues and topics
before them and learn from each other — and be aware of each other's positions
[both positive and negative], questions or suggestions — in the same forum.
• Improves the efficiency of staff work by allowing staff to present jointly, uniformly, to
the entire City Council.
• Reduces workload demands on staff by not having to prepare for and attend one or
more City Council Committee meetings.
DI.A Page 16 of 39
• Reduce the administrative burden and costs on the City Clerk and Department
administrative staff to support the Council Committees process (e.g. 1.25 FTE
equivalent in Community Development and Public Works).
• Reduces the breadth to some extent of the current subject matter that Council
Committees cover.
• May increase excitement and passion in some Councilmembers for the job of
councilmember because of the increased focus on major city -wide policy matters.
• May increase teamwork among Councilmembers in that more of what is done would
be done by the whole City Council.
• Decreased Printing costs — eliminating duplicate paperwork for multiple Committees.
Cons
• Reduces the breadth to some extent of the current subject matter that Council
Committees cover.
• Reduces Council's direct oversight over and /or involvement in some of the City's
more administrative functions.
• Based on the different personalities of councilmembers and comfort in speaking in
larger groups, it may be harder, at least initially, for some Councilmembers to
participate in the larger group study sessions, when compared with three - person
comm ittees.
• Potential reduction in some Councilmembers' passion (s) because of reduced ability
to display expertise in a particular subject matter.
• Will create short -term challenges in understanding and implementing changes in
roles and responsibilities during the transition period.
• Will reduce Council's ability to "dabble" in a subject matter that is not substantive in
nature and does not have a current or future policy relationship.
