[00:00:00.000]Well, good morning, everybody. We appreciate everyone joining us on this Monday morning.
[00:00:07.520]Hopefully we'll get some more rain in Nebraska without any storms.
[00:00:12.400]Thanks for joining us on this second session of our Valuable Programming Series for 2025.
[00:00:21.960]We started these a couple of weeks ago, and we are going to go further into today's topic around the use of these.
[00:00:31.080]You can feel free to type questions in the chat box as we go through, or you can unmute yourself and then you can answer them right on, or excuse me, ask them right live as we go along.
[00:00:41.700]So as we frame this up, I want to give a real shout out to Ruby Urban and Pat Nieben and that team with the Business Center.
[00:00:51.860]For really helping make all of this happen, we started last year and did the financial handbook, and now we're getting a little bit deeper into that right now with some of the things we've been hearing from you around questions, doing some clarifying, and making this go a little bit further and deeper into what we know about extension, about the great work that you do, and how to get more of those fees into your coffers to enhance the work.
[00:01:17.000]So with that.
[00:01:21.760]I'm going to, there we go.
[00:01:24.220]What we're covering today is examples of how the fees have been used, how we can best leverage those fees, and what's appropriate.
[00:01:35.260]And I'm going to turn it over to Ruby, as she's going to help us start that conversation.
[00:01:42.920]Ruby.
[00:01:43.900]Thanks, Kathleen.
[00:01:47.420]And I think when you're in our conversation, once this presentation,
[00:01:51.660]kind of progresses, that toward the end, you're going to be able to ask some of those
[00:01:55.300]questions, and think about some of your specific examples that you're using.
[00:01:59.080]But a way to start is, we wanted to talk to you a little bit about some of the reminders,
[00:02:02.840]is when you have your fee-based programming, some things as best business practices.
[00:02:07.160]It's good for us to kind of talk about those things on a regular basis, to keep them in
[00:02:11.400]front of you, so you can successfully navigate your revenue, your expenditures,
[00:02:16.820]and what we need to do. And it doesn't matter what department you work on, if you're
[00:02:21.560]extension on campus, off campus, a lot of this has to do with the same policy and
[00:02:26.160]procedures, I should say more policies. We may have specific procedures, but just
[00:02:31.700]felt it's a good conversation to start with today as a reminder. For the next
[00:02:37.060]slide. So one of the best resources we will lead you to is our financial
[00:02:47.440]management guide. Hopefully you have had an opportunity. This was the one
[00:02:51.460]we introduced last July. Got a few updates as you can see here. I've done
[00:02:56.200]some on March 31st, just some tweaks, but also to include things like when we had
[00:03:00.840]our mileage change for reimbursement, just to kind of keep it updated. So this
[00:03:04.740]is a good resource in the 74 page document. And when I say that, when we set
[00:03:11.080]this up last time, the reason is we didn't want to have a guide for how to
[00:03:14.500]do business and then a guide to talk about how do you do forms. So that's all
[00:03:18.500]now encompassed in one place and you can go in
[00:03:21.360]there and look at the various topics. So we're going to highlight just a few of
[00:03:25.480]those topics by snips on what can lead you to read more information. So we're
[00:03:30.800]going to go to the next slide. And the first thing we want to remind people are
[00:03:36.420]is forms. This is a link on there. There are several different forms you need to
[00:03:41.600]do business and I wanted to give you some examples because we have seen some
[00:03:46.980]forms and I will say I see one from 2009 the other day. Accounting does not
[00:03:51.260]like those. So what I'm going to request our offices to do if you have a stash or
[00:03:56.900]on your server some old forms please just delete them. Let's make sure we're
[00:04:02.480]all using the most current forms. This is going to be help us be more efficient
[00:04:06.500]when we're trying to route them through our system. So a couple examples is our
[00:04:10.760]visiting personnel and miscellaneous expense voucher which is dated in
[00:04:14.360]January. This one does show the 70 cent reimbursement so please make sure you're
[00:04:20.360]using that form.
[00:04:21.160]Whenever applicable and we have our P card transaction vouchers for our
[00:04:26.860]educators and our county office staff. There are two different forms. Please
[00:04:32.560]make sure you're using the form that was out there from last April. So just
[00:04:37.860]good reminders that that is your resource to go to your financial
[00:04:41.460]management form section and there's a plethora of forms and if you have any
[00:04:46.960]questions, please reach out to your EZ mailbox.
[00:04:51.060]As you know, those mailboxes are monitored daily by somebody, so if you
[00:04:56.660]have questions or whatever, that is the place to send them and someone on our
[00:05:01.360]team will get back to you. Next slide. Just some reminders about our program
[00:05:09.060]fees, registrations, those type of, along with sponsorships, should be
[00:05:14.060]deposited into your 22 or some of you have a 23 cost center. So those are your
[00:05:19.060]programming cost centers.
[00:05:20.960]And there's a snip here from the paper, from the guide, sorry, that talks a little bit about some of those
[00:05:28.460]questioning ones starting on page 17, definitions. So to go over there, if you use the word
[00:05:34.960]contribution on any of your revenue, it's very vague because it does not help us to know how to classify it
[00:05:41.960]in our university accounting system. So please use clear description of why we have the money.
[00:05:46.960]But it also talks a little bit more about your, you know, sponsorships, grants,
[00:05:50.860]and different areas. So I'd encourage you to go and maybe look at that section.
[00:05:55.760]And just a reminder, any time you want to talk about sponsored projects, grants, revenue contracts,
[00:06:02.760]gifts and donations, please reach out to your department's grant specialist.
[00:06:07.760]For us out in engagement zones, that's Alicia Houghton. Excuse me.
[00:06:12.760]And several of you have worked with Alicia when you've had grants, and she's your contact for that.
[00:06:18.760]Next slide.
[00:06:20.760]Probably about a month or so ago, you all probably should have signed cash handling policy and procedures.
[00:06:30.660]Our goal is, I hope you read them very carefully, what that expectation is to handle money for the university as you signed off.
[00:06:39.660]So hopefully, that was a good refresher. We have to do that once a year.
[00:06:44.660]Important note, the university does not permit our volunteers to handle our university.
[00:06:50.660]Funds. As much as it would be nice to have our volunteers take in your registration fees and write receipts.
[00:06:58.660]That is not really supposed to be permitted by the university.
[00:07:02.660]So please work with with university people to make sure we're handling our funds appropriately.
[00:07:09.660]And that actually segues really good into our segregation of duties.
[00:07:13.660]And that's another important piece in your office operations of taking in the money, recording the money.
[00:07:20.560]So please take a look at that section. Should you ever have challenges?
[00:07:25.160]Now, how do I accomplish my segregation of duties? I have a small office.
[00:07:31.460]Please reach out to the business center. Maybe we can talk through some of those scenarios that can help you figure out how to handle those.
[00:07:39.360]And also, when you're out on the road, maybe with programing and I know we're also trying to safeguard our funds,
[00:07:47.560]I'm going to encourage you, if you're on the road for a few days,
[00:07:50.460]I'm a little comfortable having people have money in their in their trunk.
[00:07:54.460]If you're going to a county office or helping collaborate with the program,
[00:07:58.560]it's appropriate to work with that county office and ask them to make a deposit for you into your cost object.
[00:08:05.960]Again, we want to be very safe, safe with the revenue that we're taking in and also prompt on making deposits.
[00:08:13.260]So if any of you have questions or seem to run into places where you're having money that you're out on the road with,
[00:08:20.360]you know, we can get you another credit. We should probably have another deposit stamp with you for safeguarding to make sure we just don't have the checks not endorsed.
[00:08:28.960]So please reach out if you have questions on that.
[00:08:32.960]Reminder about our change funds. Some of you may have your county change funds and then you'll have your policy and procedures within your county offices.
[00:08:43.660]But then we also have our university change fund, and that is the money that the Bursar's office has set up
[00:08:50.260]out at several of our county offices. And when you have programming,
[00:08:55.860]just remind yourself that remember, cash refunds cannot be made from the fund.
[00:09:01.460]Reach out to the business center and we can help initiate that warrant for payment.
[00:09:09.760]So going back into ensuring you're following your cash handling, that section, please take a look at that.
[00:09:15.260]If you have any questions, let us know. Another part
[00:09:20.160]is besides taking in money, it's how do we allocate it out, our external revenue or expenses?
[00:09:26.960]Some of you, you know, we collaborate a lot these days within our educating, within our program areas.
[00:09:33.260]So what's very important and it's very efficient,
[00:09:36.360]if we can allocate out any revenue or expenses at the time of the transaction,
[00:09:42.260]or meaning by the time you turn in your paperwork.
[00:09:45.460]So just be sure that if you're taking in revenue,
[00:09:50.060]you have those cost centers and distribute out the revenue.
[00:09:53.860]And if you have an expense where you're sharing,
[00:09:56.660]just write that on your business purpose,
[00:09:59.260]write the educators cost centers in which we're allocating the cost.
[00:10:04.260]We also ask if you have a cost center in which you're letting somebody else expend from,
[00:10:12.060]to please have an email as part of your documentation to show that you've approved letting this person spend
[00:10:19.960]off of your account.
[00:10:22.660]So that's just the last bullet there about whenever splitting expenses, please document it.
[00:10:28.660]This is very important, especially when you come into grants.
[00:10:33.260]We need to have the documentation from a PI saying it was okay to have that expense come from that account
[00:10:39.760]or their account is sharing.
[00:10:43.160]Next slide.
[00:10:47.660]We're going to go over a little bit about the clear business purpose.
[00:10:49.860]And that's, again, very important, whether it's receiving your revenue or writing your expenditures.
[00:10:56.860]And we don't hear, you know, who, what, when, where, and why.
[00:10:59.560]Several of us have heard that when we were in school or if you've done journalism or anything.
[00:11:03.760]But when we think about what we're writing in our system is going to be reviewed from people who have no idea what we do.
[00:11:12.960]It's going to be some auditors, internal, external.
[00:11:15.760]So we need to be very clear on what are we doing?
[00:11:19.760]And what are we taking it in for?
[00:11:21.760]What is the purpose?
[00:11:23.760]Why are we expending it?
[00:11:25.760]So I provided a few examples, and these are more revenue examples.
[00:11:29.760]But if you go into the guide, there are several examples under the sections that talk about expenditures or revenue that say here's some ideas on how to write a good description.
[00:11:42.760]So, again, thank you for your efforts on that.
[00:11:45.760]It really will make it good for both reporting for auditors.
[00:11:49.660]But even internally.
[00:11:51.560]For your program leader, you know, the administration, anybody, EZC, when they look at your report, they will know this is what it's for.
[00:12:00.560]And should you have to go back a year from now, the program name is going to be very helpful to know why did I spend the money.
[00:12:08.560]Next slide.
[00:12:13.560]A very important thing I want to enforce here or just remind is signature authority.
[00:12:19.560]Basically, if you are not a department head, dean, or director, you do not have signature authority to sign agreements.
[00:12:29.460]And I want to make sure we understand that it can be as simple as going to rent something,
[00:12:37.460]whether that's that lease from the fairgrounds or you go to an equipment dealer and you need to lease, I'm going to say, a plot.
[00:12:49.460]They give you something to sign. Please send anything that needs signature to our business center for review.
[00:12:57.460]There are times we need to route it differently. It may be the extension dean or director that can sign.
[00:13:05.460]It just kind of depends where we need to route it, depending on the type of agreement.
[00:13:11.460]So please, please, if you present something that looks even very simple, we just want to make sure we're in compliance with signature.
[00:13:19.360]So I know we've also had some situations when it comes for a gift or the telephone company is offering an opportunity for a $500 per se award.
[00:13:35.160]Again, with bills, again, we need to take a look at them and then route them appropriately so we can bring the money into our system.
[00:13:42.260]This is very important because it's also about protecting you. When you sign, you're also taking that line.
[00:13:49.260]You're also taking that risk upon yourself.
[00:13:53.260]And we would prefer you would share that with us so we can evaluate it and make sure that we're routing things appropriately to help you accomplish what you need in the most efficient manner and also in compliance.
[00:14:06.260]So please take a look at that section, pages 22. If you want to review any of that, that would be a good place to start and talk among your offices, because I know in the time we are today, it seems like we're seeing more
[00:14:19.160]of our partners that we work with who want something signed.
[00:14:25.160]Yes, I know it seems like it's going to be, it's going to take a while or but we need to do that so thank you for keeping that in mind.
[00:14:35.160]Next slide.
[00:14:39.160]And I'm going to hand this one to Kathleen. Thank you. So, thank you. And what I'm going to do here is stop sharing for just a second, because we're kind of getting
[00:14:49.060]into a different phase of the conversation. And I want to stop and ask if there are any questions or clarifications that need to be made.
[00:14:57.060]And Ruby, thanks for going over that so thoroughly. If you get one message from this entire hour today, it is go to the guide and read it.
[00:15:08.060]All of the information you need is there but certainly if there's pieces you have questions about or you don't understand it, reach out, but there's lots of information in that guidebook that pertains specifically
[00:15:18.960]to the kind of things that you are doing every day.
[00:15:21.960]That website that has all of the new forms.
[00:15:24.960]Use those. We've really worked pretty hard at getting all that information one place so be sure you take a look at that.
[00:15:32.960]Questions that you have related to the financial pieces that we've been talking about.
[00:15:39.960]You can type them in the chat box or go ahead and unmute yourself.
[00:15:43.960]And we have Pat joining us too because you know Pat Nieben has worked with many of you on many things.
[00:15:48.860]So though I'm sharing a lot of what's in the guide, Pat has the day-to-day experience knowing what's really happening out in the area.
[00:15:55.760]So she's available to answer some of those questions.
[00:16:00.760]So there's a question about getting reimbursed for mileage and program registrations.
[00:16:08.760]Go ahead, Elizabeth. Spell out your question just a little bit more. You want to unmute yourself.
[00:16:15.760]Unmuting is way easier.
[00:16:18.760]One of the questions I have is, so we do site assessments with HLES, and I've been told both ways that yes, we can get reimbursed mileage for site assessments, and no, we can't get reimbursed mileage for site assessments because we do charge a fee for those.
[00:16:36.660]What is the best way, and can we get reimbursed mileage, like if we're doing a program that has a registration?
[00:16:48.660]Elizabeth, we might have to dig into this one offline because I'm not sure I really understand the question completely, but if in general you're getting a program registration fee for a program, then yes, you could charge your mileage against that account where those expenses are coming in, but I'm not sure I'm understanding it correctly.
[00:17:15.440]So we were told we could do a one-to-one.
[00:17:18.560]Like if the fee for mileage is $24.70, we can charge $24.70 on top of our fee, and then we would not be charged an additional 15% on that $24.70 because it was directly related to that expense.
[00:17:38.900]Does that make sense?
[00:17:39.960]I think we're talking about building in.
[00:17:48.460]When you're creating a program fee, tell me if I'm understanding right.
[00:17:51.960]You're having a program fee, which includes mileage, so whatever revenue comes in would
[00:17:57.120]be assessed the fee.
[00:17:58.260]What you're saying is, but if they would reimburse you for mileage direct, then there would be
[00:18:07.260]the 15% fee on top.
[00:18:09.620]I think that's what you're asking?
[00:18:11.060]Correct.
[00:18:11.740]How to build your fee?
[00:18:12.860]Well, so we've been told both, that the fee for the site assessment.
[00:18:18.360]It would get charged 15%.
[00:18:20.180]But the mileage, if we got reimbursed, quote unquote, direct for the
[00:18:24.880]mileage, as long as it was the cost of the mileage was reimbursed
[00:18:28.960]exactly, that we would not get charged the fee on top of that because
[00:18:34.740]it was for the mileage alone.
[00:18:36.640]But if we need to take it offline, that's cool.
[00:18:39.260]I just need to know, because if we're going to be doing site
[00:18:41.540]assessments here, what's the best way?
[00:18:43.960]Because I've heard it both ways.
[00:18:45.360]Let's take that offline.
[00:18:48.260]And so we make sure we understand all the pieces and
[00:18:50.740]parts to that, Elizabeth.
[00:18:51.680]Is that okay?
[00:18:52.300]That's fine.
[00:18:55.260]And Pat and Ruby, will you help work through that one with
[00:18:58.140]Elizabeth and the team?
[00:18:59.080]Because I'm glad you're raising the question, because this is
[00:19:02.440]something else that we are trying to do, and we're not
[00:19:05.460]always perfect, is getting consistency across the system
[00:19:10.800]of how we answer these questions and across the teams.
[00:19:13.380]And so we want to get that into place as well as we can so
[00:19:17.560]that there's consistency.
[00:19:18.160]Consistency about what we do so you're not hearing two
[00:19:20.280]different things.
[00:19:21.000]And that's one of the reasons we're having the conversations
[00:19:23.540]like we are today.
[00:19:24.460]Really good question.
[00:19:25.520]Other questions that people have?
[00:19:29.760]One piece I do want to bring up on the signature part of the
[00:19:39.860]conversation, yes, on if there's fees related to whatever the
[00:19:45.700]document is you were signing around the signature.
[00:19:48.060]And also, if it's just a document that's maybe an MOU or
[00:19:53.480]something like that, run that by the business center so that we
[00:19:56.920]are sure who is the appropriate person to sign that.
[00:20:00.320]And sometimes they'll turn it back to you and it's something
[00:20:03.500]you can sign, perfect.
[00:20:04.940]But sometimes it needs to get looked at through a different
[00:20:09.260]lens and so we want to make sure that we're not putting you at
[00:20:11.660]any risk by signing something where it's not appropriate for
[00:20:14.640]you to sign.
[00:20:15.220]So ask those questions because I agree with you.
[00:20:17.960]Completely, Ruby, we're getting a lot more of the wants to
[00:20:22.020]have agreements of some kind in writing in place.
[00:20:25.580]And so we want to make sure that we're taking a look at
[00:20:28.340]those.
[00:20:28.700]There's a question when we are sharing revenue within
[00:20:35.240]extension and transferring shared revenue to a peers cost
[00:20:39.240]object, they are not also assess the MVP revenue sharing.
[00:20:42.920]And actually, that's a good question because it is a slide
[00:20:46.540]after when we talked about it.
[00:20:47.860]We're going to be answering that question.
[00:20:49.480]So if we can hold that one a little bit, it will be addressed
[00:20:51.900]in the slide after we have our question and answer session.
[00:20:54.400]So thank you.
[00:20:55.000]And are we ready to move on that?
[00:21:00.980]Any other questions that you have?
[00:21:02.900]I will just add one more thing, at least on a couple of the agreements
[00:21:07.060]that I was looking recently, and they at least wanted to either
[00:21:10.600]for knowledge that you read everything truly as well.
[00:21:13.320]So that's something new that was for me in the past.
[00:21:15.820]Yes, we weren't able to sign things.
[00:21:17.760]But right now, there were a couple of agreements in the past
[00:21:20.520]that we needed to acknowledge that we read everything,
[00:21:23.020]and it's actually going routed like that.
[00:21:24.760]Thank you for bringing that up, because this is what I'd like to see
[00:21:28.460]when we have an opportunity when we deal with a partner
[00:21:31.660]that we're working with, is I would like the person in charge
[00:21:34.660]who's in the program to acknowledge, like you just said,
[00:21:38.280]they read it, they're responsible, they understand it,
[00:21:40.820]and have a second signature when needed,
[00:21:43.600]the border region signature. So that's my preferable
[00:21:47.660]one, is we know the educator who's in charge of the program,
[00:21:50.620]yes, I agree, I'm doing this, and then we have
[00:21:53.580]a signature, when required, that represents the border
[00:21:56.520]regions. So thank you for bringing that up.
[00:21:58.800]Other questions or comments?
[00:22:04.520]Okay, I'm going to go back and share the screen
[00:22:15.760]again, and this will get into, hopefully, Dana,
[00:22:17.560]your question, and maybe some others.
[00:22:47.460]It's not letting me share my screen.
[00:22:49.860]Okay, are you seeing the program revenue assessment
[00:22:56.260]model now? Perfect.
[00:22:57.360]So this is not a new slide to you by any means.
[00:23:01.960]You've seen it before, but we'll go through it
[00:23:03.860]again. If you remember, last July 1, we started
[00:23:08.860]the program revenue assessment model where we
[00:23:12.660]looked at all revenue coming into the university
[00:23:15.460]or into extension programming.
[00:23:17.360]And taking some money off of that and building
[00:23:21.460]that into your registration fees so you have
[00:23:24.360]a little bit of money at the program level to
[00:23:27.260]work with. And we have a little bit of money
[00:23:30.160]for R&D at the extension level.
[00:23:32.860]So as you think about this, when dollars come
[00:23:36.460]into the university, then on that way right
[00:23:39.560]side, there's a UNL administrative fee that
[00:23:42.860]it is a 5% assessment on all dollars that come
[00:23:45.760]in. Okay?
[00:23:47.260]So then in addition to that, some of you
[00:23:50.660]way on that left-hand side have department
[00:23:53.560]assessments. Some of you don't, some of you
[00:23:55.660]do. That's not consistent across departments.
[00:23:58.160]It's whatever department within which you're
[00:24:00.660]working. Okay, so those are the two pieces
[00:24:02.960]that are outside of our control and extension.
[00:24:05.860]That middle bucket that says Nebraska extension
[00:24:09.560]is the 10% fee that we started adding on
[00:24:12.860]last July 1. And if you remember,
[00:24:17.160]that money is split out 5% goes to extension
[00:24:22.360]administration and other administrative
[00:24:24.460]levels. Two and a half percent of that goes
[00:24:28.960]to focus area initiatives. So the the teams
[00:24:33.260]that are on the bottom each have an account
[00:24:35.660]and those eight accounts get that two and
[00:24:38.460]a half percent. And then we have an R&D
[00:24:42.060]account that helps us support some of the
[00:24:44.360]work that you want to do that the
[00:24:46.280]The system wants to do to be more entrepreneurial, the research and development part of the system.
[00:24:51.970]So that's where that money goes.
[00:24:54.690]So the spreadsheets that are online right now that we developed about a year ago on how to figure out budgets for programs and how to figure out actual costs.
[00:25:04.750]I've built in that 5% assessment for UNL, that 10% extension assessment, so that 15%.
[00:25:12.750]And then if there's other assessments on the side of that, then you build that into the budget.
[00:25:17.170]So that's the cost of doing business.
[00:25:19.450]Great news on the right-hand side of this is the actual dollars of what's been garnered over the first two quarters of the year.
[00:25:31.610]So remember, our fiscal year at the university starts in July.
[00:25:35.970]So it's July 1 through December 31st are those two columns, first quarter and second quarter.
[00:25:43.150]We don't have the finals yet for third quarter, which would be January through March.
[00:25:49.490]Those haven't been transferred over, but we're seeing a pretty solid positive trend.
[00:25:55.450]So congratulations to all of you.
[00:25:58.070]You're bringing in about $36,000, $37,000 a quarter.
[00:26:03.630]We don't know what that's going to look like over the last two quarters yet.
[00:26:07.010]We know different programs have different cadences about when they do a lot of their work.
[00:26:11.970]So we'll see what happens as we get through a first year.
[00:26:14.890]But you've brought in, you know, $70,000.
[00:26:19.370]So hats off to all of you.
[00:26:21.470]And that's where that money is going.
[00:26:23.530]Now, as you look at that, your pals, your program area leaders have access to these accounts.
[00:26:32.430]And your program area then can decide how you want to use that money in those accounts.
[00:26:38.530]And we're going to talk just a little bit more about that.
[00:26:41.210]But that's kind of the breakdown of where that's at.
[00:26:44.490]You see that that money is coming into right now program accounts that are related to like
[00:26:56.490]the big program, like livestock systems or HLES or whatever that happens to be.
[00:27:03.290]There are some instances in this process where we've looked at it and said, hey, that program
[00:27:09.850]is big enough.
[00:27:10.910]That it works.
[00:27:11.190]That it really needs an account all of its own because there's enough revenue coming
[00:27:15.890]in and enough return on that that needs to go back into that specific program.
[00:27:22.270]That is doing a cost center for a new program is the exception to the rule for the most
[00:27:30.810]part.
[00:27:31.170]But this is how to kind of go through the process.
[00:27:33.470]You talk about that with your EZC, the program area leader, and then we determine whether
[00:27:41.170]or not this makes sense.
[00:27:43.250]And some of the criteria we're using for that, is it an ongoing program?
[00:27:47.430]Like, is it a team effort that's going to be more than a one-off?
[00:27:51.130]It's not just a one-time program, but it's going on for a long period of time.
[00:27:55.210]What's the dollar flow that's going to come through that incoming and outgoing?
[00:27:59.150]We don't want to make up cost objects that we're not going to be using for a long time
[00:28:06.170]or that we don't have a fairly high amount of money going through.
[00:28:08.930]And how many transactions are going to go?
[00:28:11.150]How many transactions are going to go through that program account?
[00:28:13.550]And so then based on that, we work with the INR Director of Business Operations
[00:28:18.110]and Extension Finance to determine if a new cost center is needed.
[00:28:22.350]So that is possible.
[00:28:24.270]And that's kind of the process for going through that.
[00:28:26.870]Here is where that MVP revenue sharing assessment applies.
[00:28:37.670]And here's the different accounts.
[00:28:39.090]And we've had this conversation before.
[00:28:41.470]But just to reiterate this, it's when it comes into 22 and 23 accounts.
[00:28:48.390]And this is a question or an answer.
[00:28:52.610]The third bullet is we make the transfers to extension at the end of the fiscal quarter.
[00:28:59.070]And it's new money coming in, not money that's going from center to center.
[00:29:06.510]So it's external revenue.
[00:29:08.310]So you're not getting...
[00:29:11.110]You're not double dipping if that money, then if you're pulling it out
[00:29:15.470]because you're paying for an expense out of one of those accounts.
[00:29:18.190]This is also all covered in the financial handbook, page 20.
[00:29:28.850]Now, I'm going to stop here and ask if there's questions.
[00:29:41.090]I'm looking in the chat box and not seeing anybody.
[00:29:44.170]Any questions on where that money is going,
[00:29:50.790]how it comes into the system, on what's getting charged?
[00:29:54.870]Again, fantastic work.
[00:30:03.690]We didn't know how this would go.
[00:30:05.250]We had no idea how much money would come in,
[00:30:07.490]and you're doing an amazing job at that.
[00:30:09.530]So we appreciate that.
[00:30:10.790]Thank you.
[00:30:11.170]Thank you.
[00:30:11.490]Okay.
[00:30:16.830]We're going to go back now.
[00:30:18.870]Can I?
[00:30:19.690]Oh, go ahead.
[00:30:20.230]I just want to follow up with something,
[00:30:23.370]because I know that there have been some folks that have raised questions
[00:30:28.470]about, you know, the delay and kind of what that looks like.
[00:30:33.030]So maybe you could just address kind of what that looks like for,
[00:30:36.050]let's say you have a program, let's say you have it today.
[00:30:39.110]When might that,
[00:30:41.050]what might that appear in that disbursement to the particular
[00:30:46.110]program area?
[00:30:46.830]So they kind of get a realistic idea of what that looks like.
[00:30:50.270]Ruby, you want to take that one on the real timeline?
[00:30:53.130]Sure.
[00:30:53.730]So what's going to happen is if you had a program where you took in
[00:30:57.490]revenue from January through March,
[00:31:02.130]the university of Nebraska, then in April, which I just see,
[00:31:05.690]they did it Thursday.
[00:31:06.490]That's where I'm going to have to debase my data on this week.
[00:31:09.270]We'll take the revenue.
[00:31:11.030]And that's in a 4,000 number when you look at your GLs on your reports,
[00:31:16.230]and they will generate the 5%.
[00:31:19.130]So again, it's looking at the time of your deposits.
[00:31:23.030]So you may have a program in January and you took in some deposits in
[00:31:28.790]December and some in January.
[00:31:30.310]It's based on when the timing of when that revenue posted into the
[00:31:36.150]university system.
[00:31:37.290]John, did that,
[00:31:41.010]is that clear enough or is there anything else I need to expand on?
[00:31:43.950]So then if it was in that first quarter,
[00:31:47.430]when would that appear in those like those numbers that Kathleen was
[00:31:52.810]showing? So let's say it appeared in the first quarter of 2025.
[00:31:56.310]The deposits were made from the program.
[00:32:00.910]University recognizes that when might that appear in those ledgers for the
[00:32:08.230]program areas?
[00:32:09.570]So March,
[00:32:10.990]ended in April,
[00:32:12.170]the university of Nebraska accounting system now looks at the money that
[00:32:16.310]posted January through March.
[00:32:18.250]Yep.
[00:32:18.850]Last Thursday on April 24th is when the university accounting posted the
[00:32:25.890]overhead assessment charge to all the cost objects.
[00:32:29.270]I took vacation Friday,
[00:32:31.570]so I didn't look at it.
[00:32:32.510]So back this week.
[00:32:34.150]And so what I will do is take a look at the,
[00:32:37.710]the charges that happened that posted.
[00:32:40.970]On Thursday.
[00:32:41.730]And then I will take that information,
[00:32:44.950]bring it into the spreadsheet and then send it to Nebraska extension for
[00:32:49.990]their distribution and review to allocate into the revenue sharing model
[00:32:56.650]is where it's going to work.
[00:32:57.850]So when,
[00:32:58.690]what people will see on the programmatic cart accounts,
[00:33:01.970]you should see your transactions.
[00:33:04.970]When you get your April report that will show the 5% overhead assessment.
[00:33:10.950]And for our timing here,
[00:33:13.490]it's kind of a short month.
[00:33:14.390]You should also see that debit transfer,
[00:33:16.730]which you'll see on a slide that's just coming up here that should be
[00:33:20.470]posting on your April report.
[00:33:21.970]Now I have a very short timeline at the end of the fiscal year,
[00:33:26.150]because when June 30 closes,
[00:33:27.950]we got a really short timeline for the 5% overhead and posting that.
[00:33:35.290]So that one hits a little sooner.
[00:33:37.510]So the reality is,
[00:33:40.930]you're not going to see that money on your ledger.
[00:33:43.230]It could be five months or five months. Right. And we know that.
[00:33:48.650]So if your ledger, if you need to,
[00:33:51.410]if you know that money is coming in and you need to charge against that
[00:33:56.690]money,
[00:33:57.110]we know that some of those accounts will be in the red for a time, right?
[00:34:01.190]Because that the transaction just hasn't taken place yet.
[00:34:04.410]So be watchful of what you believe is coming in in the timeline. Go ahead.
[00:34:10.910]No. And I'll say most of your, since you, most of you have starting,
[00:34:14.850]you have a starting out if you're a new educator or so you have a, a,
[00:34:18.570]your own educator program account and you have seed money in your,
[00:34:21.870]in your processing on there. Again, like Kathleen said,
[00:34:24.590]timing on things, depending on where you are,
[00:34:26.950]you may or may not notice it as much, but if you have a smaller account,
[00:34:30.890]you may see that just to, to know that charge will be coming.
[00:34:34.830]So this is other questions on this. And we have a couple more slides.
[00:34:40.890]Here to share that might help you understand this just even a little more.
[00:34:48.030]So we've kind of alluded to this already,
[00:34:55.710]but just so that you can see it,
[00:34:57.210]that 10% revenue is calculated based on the UNL 5%.
[00:35:01.290]So we figure out what the UNL has taken off the top,
[00:35:04.270]and then we do the next step of that. Right.
[00:35:08.930]And so you can read about how,
[00:35:10.870]how that works and to Dana's question,
[00:35:14.470]this is where I talk about the revenue.
[00:35:16.470]So if the revenue comes into cost object number one,
[00:35:19.230]and now you want to help and you're going to, and we really,
[00:35:22.990]I'm just a preface to,
[00:35:24.270]we're not going to be sharing like $25 a month people, you know,
[00:35:26.930]we're going to try to keep those types of transactions.
[00:35:30.290]We're really sharing revenue.
[00:35:32.550]So it's something that's efficient and cost to,
[00:35:36.190]to move that.
[00:35:37.190]Let's say we have to move $500 of something for some reason,
[00:35:40.850]to cost object number two,
[00:35:42.310]the assessment fee follows the transaction.
[00:35:46.330]So there is no double dipping.
[00:35:48.030]So if you received and you pay that overhead assessment in March and in
[00:35:54.410]April,
[00:35:54.870]you moved $500 of your revenue to an educator who collaborated on
[00:36:01.390]something.
[00:36:01.810]You will be a credit for move.
[00:36:05.890]And that fee will follow to the educator.
[00:36:10.830]The fee.
[00:36:13.610]Oh,
[00:36:14.070]can you hear me?
[00:36:16.530]You're cutting out just a bit.
[00:36:18.710]I just got a zoom quit on me.
[00:36:21.710]Okay.
[00:36:24.150]We can hear you now.
[00:36:25.410]Are you,
[00:36:26.230]are you still there?
[00:36:27.310]I'm here.
[00:36:28.350]Can you hear me?
[00:36:29.350]Yes,
[00:36:30.070]we can hear you.
[00:36:30.990]Okay.
[00:36:36.470]Now we can't hear you,
[00:36:37.470]Ruby.
[00:36:40.810]Did we lose her completely?
[00:36:45.130]Yeah,
[00:36:46.150]I think we did.
[00:36:46.970]Pat,
[00:36:47.250]do you want to finish this part of it?
[00:36:48.650]I can try,
[00:36:49.190]but you'll do better than me.
[00:36:50.270]Yeah.
[00:36:50.930]With the revenue sharing.
[00:36:52.830]And if we have some revenue that's going to be moved in the same month that
[00:36:57.230]it came into one,
[00:36:58.210]nobody's going to see that there's a double billing,
[00:37:01.770]but like she was saying,
[00:37:03.550]if you had revenue come in in March or the assessment hits in March,
[00:37:07.750]and then you decided in April,
[00:37:10.310]you wanted,
[00:37:10.910]to move $500 to somebody else's cost object at the next revenue sharing,
[00:37:16.730]which would be at the end of June,
[00:37:18.410]your account would be credited back that charge of that 10% and their cost
[00:37:25.150]object will be charged the 10%.
[00:37:27.030]We have to move revenue like for like.
[00:37:29.710]And so when we move that,
[00:37:32.930]it's going to automatically come up in Ruby's figures.
[00:37:35.470]Then that money was taken and taken back out of your account.
[00:37:39.330]So you're going to get a credit,
[00:37:40.770]at the next fiscal, excuse me, at the next quarter.
[00:37:44.750]So it will even itself out.
[00:37:47.470]It may be over a two quarter transaction of revenue sharing,
[00:37:53.750]but it will even itself out.
[00:37:55.190]That's why we really like to know ahead of time
[00:37:57.990]if we're going to be splitting funding
[00:37:59.370]between two revenues, if we can.
[00:38:01.130]If we've got two cost objects
[00:38:02.950]that need to have something split,
[00:38:04.770]if we know it at the beginning, it's so much better.
[00:38:06.870]But if we do have to move something like this
[00:38:09.830]and it does happen,
[00:38:10.750]after the fact of some revenue had been charged,
[00:38:14.670]it will be credited back on the next one.
[00:38:17.510]And the other cost object will have their debit on it.
[00:38:20.750]Hope that makes sense.
[00:38:22.530]We can talk personally to somebody
[00:38:25.750]and draw a picture form on it.
[00:38:27.230]Thank you for that, Pat.
[00:38:29.590]Thanks for grabbing that.
[00:38:30.910]Good handoff.
[00:38:31.950]The one thing I was going to add is
[00:38:33.870]this works not just for the 10%,
[00:38:35.550]but also the 5% that the University of Lincoln has.
[00:38:38.810]And I don't know if you probably said that or not.
[00:38:40.730]No, I didn't.
[00:38:41.650]But it does work.
[00:38:42.370]The 5% and the 10%.
[00:38:43.210]Right.
[00:38:43.870]So you're probably saying,
[00:38:48.370]well, how will I see this on my financial reports?
[00:38:52.530]So I think now you're back on, right?
[00:38:56.350]Oops.
[00:38:56.850]I think she is.
[00:38:59.610]Okay, there we go.
[00:39:03.130]There we go.
[00:39:04.090]Yes.
[00:39:04.470]Yes.
[00:39:05.170]So thank you, Kathleen.
[00:39:07.690]Yes, this is what it looks like
[00:39:09.050]when you look at your financial report
[00:39:10.710]these the now the overhead assessment
[00:39:14.350]has its own line as an expense.
[00:39:16.330]That's that 5% line.
[00:39:17.730]What I'm showing you here today is
[00:39:20.370]where does that Nebraska Extension
[00:39:22.630]10% revenue show?
[00:39:24.070]It does not show the same place
[00:39:26.870]where the 5% is.
[00:39:28.130]So this is where it looks like.
[00:39:30.730]And just a side note too.
[00:39:33.030]And I think I like Kathleen.
[00:39:34.010]It talks about in our program
[00:39:35.550]rubbing about depositing
[00:39:37.210]in the right place
[00:39:39.210]for our programming dollars.
[00:39:40.690]So you're exactly right.
[00:39:45.810]Extension revenue needs to go
[00:39:47.770]in to certain accounts.
[00:39:50.490]If you're getting,
[00:39:51.330]if you have questions about that,
[00:39:53.050]do reach out.
[00:39:54.790]These are not donations
[00:39:56.370]when it's program revenue.
[00:39:57.770]Okay.
[00:39:58.230]These are like actual charges
[00:39:59.930]and fees for our work.
[00:40:01.410]And all programs should run
[00:40:04.230]through University of Nebraska
[00:40:06.090]Lincoln accounts
[00:40:06.990]because they are part
[00:40:07.990]of the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
[00:40:09.590]I asked our business people
[00:40:10.150]and they said,
[00:40:10.670]get me a spreadsheet
[00:40:11.290]that's got the inventory.
[00:40:12.690]Now I haven't,
[00:40:13.850]I don't know.
[00:40:14.530]Make sure you turn
[00:40:15.750]your phones on.
[00:40:16.450]But it's really extensive.
[00:40:17.590]So that's what I'm going
[00:40:18.510]to send to Derek and Hector
[00:40:19.750]and just tell them all.
[00:40:20.690]Hang on here and I will try to.
[00:40:23.050]Go verify some of the stuff.
[00:40:24.390]Okay.
[00:40:25.810]Do not run program fees
[00:40:31.870]through your 4-H council
[00:40:33.390]to avoid participation
[00:40:34.910]in the MVP revenue sharing program.
[00:40:37.130]That is not appropriate.
[00:40:38.430]They are programs
[00:40:39.990]of the University of Nebraska
[00:40:40.650]is extension employees
[00:40:43.130]who are doing that work.
[00:40:43.990]And so those need to run
[00:40:45.290]through the university system.
[00:40:46.690]Questions on any of that?
[00:40:51.070]All right.
[00:41:02.250]And now we're going to get back
[00:41:03.670]into the chat box here.
[00:41:10.630]So here's this.
[00:41:14.470]OK, so Dave,
[00:41:15.550]you've answered Steve's question.
[00:41:17.250]Dana, you're exactly right.
[00:41:27.990]And any of these,
[00:41:29.350]as you do programs,
[00:41:31.430]and that's a conversation
[00:41:32.870]that we need to have
[00:41:33.810]because it kind of gets
[00:41:34.470]into this next step
[00:41:35.450]of MVP programming.
[00:41:36.590]Think about the programs
[00:41:40.290]that we're doing
[00:41:40.610]as a program area
[00:41:42.150]or as a system.
[00:41:43.090]So like bigger than just something
[00:41:44.530]you're doing in your county.
[00:41:45.630]And as you develop
[00:41:47.570]the financial plan for that,
[00:41:49.890]go back to the spreadsheet.
[00:41:52.130]What's the real cost
[00:41:53.510]of that program?
[00:41:54.290]Hopefully that's how
[00:41:55.610]you're determining
[00:41:56.330]the actual cost
[00:41:57.210]of that program, right?
[00:41:58.470]What's the overhead costs
[00:42:00.790]then that you need to fit in?
[00:42:02.090]What's the cost of your time?
[00:42:03.910]What's the cost of supplies?
[00:42:05.250]What's the cost of space use?
[00:42:06.830]All of those pieces
[00:42:08.490]go into the cost
[00:42:09.670]of that program.
[00:42:11.530]Then think about as a team,
[00:42:13.350]okay, from that,
[00:42:15.450]where is the money going to go?
[00:42:17.750]Are we going to put it
[00:42:18.510]in a team account
[00:42:19.490]and use it towards
[00:42:20.850]certain expenses down the road
[00:42:22.790]like R&D for our team,
[00:42:24.950]our project,
[00:42:25.710]the next kind of work
[00:42:27.430]that we need to do?
[00:42:28.490]Is it some of it
[00:42:30.330]going to go back
[00:42:31.010]to the individual educators
[00:42:32.430]or staff who are a part
[00:42:34.150]of putting on that program?
[00:42:35.670]Think about that up front
[00:42:37.610]so that you can put those money
[00:42:39.530]into the accounts,
[00:42:40.570]those cost objects
[00:42:41.490]where it should go
[00:42:42.170]as that registration comes in.
[00:42:43.970]It's way easier that way.
[00:42:46.330]The other thing that it does
[00:42:47.750]is it makes sure
[00:42:49.610]you've thought about
[00:42:50.390]where is the revenue going to go?
[00:42:51.870]And there's not debates about that
[00:42:55.590]at the other end of the program.
[00:42:57.050]So think up front
[00:42:58.630]where you want revenue to go,
[00:43:00.350]how you want it to be used.
[00:43:01.830]Maybe you have a special project
[00:43:03.490]that you're planning
[00:43:04.090]on doing as a team.
[00:43:05.210]And so you're thinking about,
[00:43:06.690]OK, we want enough revenue
[00:43:08.130]from whatever program we're doing.
[00:43:10.550]So we can support the work
[00:43:11.910]of what we want to do next.
[00:43:13.270]If you have certain audiences,
[00:43:17.030]we know this,
[00:43:18.050]that are low resourced.
[00:43:20.950]And so sometimes we do
[00:43:22.450]scholarships for those.
[00:43:23.710]We do some kind of adjustment
[00:43:25.970]to the fees for that client.
[00:43:28.210]That doesn't mean that
[00:43:29.830]that program doesn't have a cost.
[00:43:31.610]It just means that
[00:43:33.270]we're doing something
[00:43:34.350]to reduce the cost
[00:43:35.470]for that specific client.
[00:43:36.810]It could be getting an outside sponsor
[00:43:39.170]to pay that cost.
[00:43:40.170]It could be getting
[00:43:40.530]that we give a scholarship
[00:43:42.230]for that program
[00:43:43.150]to cover that cost,
[00:43:44.090]whatever that is.
[00:43:45.450]There's still a cost
[00:43:47.010]to that program.
[00:43:48.030]It's just that we're deciding
[00:43:49.670]how to take care of that cost.
[00:43:51.230]Kathleen, I'm going to insert
[00:43:54.150]a little example too,
[00:43:55.470]is for some of those
[00:43:57.030]that maybe you're just getting
[00:43:57.930]a new program
[00:43:58.710]as a team off the ground.
[00:43:59.930]Again, it doesn't meet the criteria
[00:44:01.450]to do a special cost center,
[00:44:02.910]whatever.
[00:44:03.290]And I have seen this happen
[00:44:05.110]in some teams
[00:44:05.650]and I really want to commend
[00:44:06.710]those teams for working together
[00:44:08.150]to come up with a solution.
[00:44:09.310]So at night,
[00:44:10.510]it may be that
[00:44:11.230]I am educator A
[00:44:12.370]and I'm going to take
[00:44:13.030]all the revenue
[00:44:13.590]and I'll have the expenses
[00:44:14.550]run through my account.
[00:44:16.130]But then when I'm done,
[00:44:18.070]we're going to meet.
[00:44:18.630]I have a shadow system
[00:44:20.190]or somebody's helping me
[00:44:21.030]manage that
[00:44:21.550]so I know what I have left.
[00:44:23.470]And instead of moving $50
[00:44:26.030]or $100 around,
[00:44:27.750]because again,
[00:44:29.010]probably cost us $100
[00:44:30.370]to move the transaction
[00:44:31.510]with our systems today.
[00:44:32.610]But what I'm going to do is
[00:44:34.310]the next time you travel,
[00:44:35.790]I'm going to give you
[00:44:36.270]each professional development.
[00:44:37.350]The next time you travel,
[00:44:38.730]we have four of us
[00:44:40.490]and there's $400.
[00:44:41.350]I'm going to, you know,
[00:44:43.770]$100 of travel
[00:44:45.410]next time you want to go somewhere,
[00:44:46.730]use my cost center.
[00:44:47.630]Send them an email that says,
[00:44:50.110]thank you for working together
[00:44:52.110]on program one, two, three.
[00:44:53.390]I'm $100.
[00:44:55.070]Go ahead and spend from cost object
[00:44:57.250]2263XX the next time you need it.
[00:45:00.830]And then that educator
[00:45:02.690]or assistant or somebody
[00:45:04.090]can go ahead and spend
[00:45:05.090]from your cost object
[00:45:06.090]and just have that
[00:45:07.810]as part of your planning
[00:45:08.850]instead of, you know,
[00:45:09.970]thinking,
[00:45:10.470]how do I move money
[00:45:12.270]when it comes into these,
[00:45:13.790]a program that isn't going
[00:45:15.710]to be a large program.
[00:45:16.850]But it kind of goes back
[00:45:19.210]a little bit into
[00:45:19.990]some of our county offices
[00:45:21.050]where we talked about
[00:45:21.810]having shadow accounts.
[00:45:23.010]Because as you know,
[00:45:24.590]our SAP reports
[00:45:26.670]are like a bank statement.
[00:45:28.150]They're not going to give you
[00:45:29.870]the programmatic detail
[00:45:31.270]you may want
[00:45:32.110]when you're setting up
[00:45:33.150]your programs to know,
[00:45:34.450]you know, how much money you made.
[00:45:36.410]So I think there's still
[00:45:38.570]some shadowing beyond there
[00:45:40.450]sometimes on a small program
[00:45:42.430]that you may need to do
[00:45:43.410]at your own end.
[00:45:44.170]But I know, again,
[00:45:45.430]thank you for some of the offices
[00:45:46.570]who have used this model
[00:45:48.130]by sharing resources
[00:45:50.130]out of one educator
[00:45:51.650]took the lead in X program.
[00:45:53.890]Back to Kathleen.
[00:45:55.370]Thanks, Ruby.
[00:45:57.190]Other questions that you have?
[00:46:01.170]I think maybe I missed this one
[00:46:08.610]a little bit earlier,
[00:46:09.490]but for researchers
[00:46:10.430]in development
[00:46:10.990]to foster innovation
[00:46:12.150]and entrepreneurship.
[00:46:13.130]So is this one something
[00:46:15.430]that hypothetically speaking
[00:46:18.410]right now,
[00:46:18.950]we need to apply, for example,
[00:46:20.350]to use those funds
[00:46:21.290]or this is individual
[00:46:22.330]top program areas
[00:46:23.530]to decide how those funds
[00:46:25.490]are reallocated?
[00:46:26.470]So there's two pieces of that.
[00:46:29.830]Program areas have
[00:46:31.370]a piece right there.
[00:46:33.270]You saw that number
[00:46:34.150]that comes into that program area.
[00:46:35.910]So that is up to the program
[00:46:37.530]to decide.
[00:46:38.270]So work with your program
[00:46:40.410]area leader on that.
[00:46:41.430]The PALS can access those funds
[00:46:43.490]and some teams already have.
[00:46:45.310]For example, we have one
[00:46:47.390]where it paid for
[00:46:48.770]some supplies and some kits
[00:46:51.510]to do some pilot programming
[00:46:53.090]in a team.
[00:46:53.930]So some of that's happening.
[00:46:55.510]Some of it,
[00:46:56.390]one of the teams used it
[00:46:57.890]for some professional development.
[00:46:59.290]So there's that.
[00:47:00.950]On that bigger piece of R&D,
[00:47:03.370]we haven't allocated
[00:47:04.950]any of that out yet.
[00:47:06.150]We're still trying to get a feel
[00:47:07.590]for how much money
[00:47:08.390]we'll have access to.
[00:47:10.390]And so we'll be developing
[00:47:11.230]a process for doing that
[00:47:12.730]after we know,
[00:47:13.950]kind of after this first year
[00:47:15.570]of doing it,
[00:47:16.290]how much money we really have.
[00:47:18.310]Because this is all brand new
[00:47:19.970]for all of us.
[00:47:20.530]So you're helping us build
[00:47:21.370]the ship as we go.
[00:47:22.210]Really good question.
[00:47:23.190]What are your questions?
[00:47:30.090]We know that this is
[00:47:39.150]a work in progress.
[00:47:40.370]We know that we continually
[00:47:42.130]need to be talking about
[00:47:43.370]the financial piece of this
[00:47:44.710]as well as the innovative
[00:47:45.830]piece of it.
[00:47:46.450]It all goes together.
[00:47:47.810]So thanks.
[00:47:49.430]Hats off again and again
[00:47:51.990]to Ruby, Pat and team
[00:47:53.530]for getting all of these
[00:47:55.690]pieces and parts in place
[00:47:57.190]for taking all of our questions
[00:47:58.510]and helping us walk through this.
[00:48:00.230]They're always there
[00:48:02.030]to help us ask first.
[00:48:04.370]Like there is no question
[00:48:06.050]that's inappropriate.
[00:48:06.890]So ask and we'll try to figure out
[00:48:08.570]the best way to do it.
[00:48:10.350]Typically, it's easier
[00:48:12.070]to figure it out prior
[00:48:13.430]than fix the problem after.
[00:48:16.410]So if there's anything
[00:48:17.790]that doesn't make sense,
[00:48:18.710]you're saying, well, I've got this
[00:48:19.830]and I'm not really sure how to do it.
[00:48:21.190]Reach out to Ruby and Pat and the team
[00:48:23.950]so that we can figure out
[00:48:25.490]the best way to make that happen.
[00:48:27.070]Thanks, Kathleen.
[00:48:30.190]And I do want to reach out to Pat
[00:48:31.670]because I know Pat and your team
[00:48:33.230]working with your engagement zones,
[00:48:34.970]you do a lot
[00:48:35.710]and you ask a lot of questions.
[00:48:36.750]So thank you.
[00:48:37.610]And please share that with your team
[00:48:38.830]for all you do.
[00:48:40.330]And like I said,
[00:48:40.770]I can share stuff.
[00:48:41.590]They are the people
[00:48:42.510]who make things happen.
[00:48:43.390]So I want to recognize them.
[00:48:44.470]It was Employee Appreciation Week.
[00:48:46.030]Appreciate you all.
[00:48:47.310]Well, we try to do the best we can
[00:48:51.090]and there's always new questions
[00:48:53.090]come up too.
[00:48:53.730]So we just need to get up,
[00:48:56.770]you know, get a policy for everything.
[00:48:58.810]Agree.
[00:49:01.670]We are getting new questions
[00:49:03.050]that we've never gotten before every day.
[00:49:04.810]So that's just part of it.
[00:49:06.110]And we're walking through those.
[00:49:07.950]So if there's no
[00:49:10.310]more questions today, we will
