I hereby ceniry that Kittitas Countv [community name] is implementing the following activities on lhe attached
pages as credited under the Community Raling System and described in our original application to the CRS and subsequent modifications.
I hereby certiff that, to the best of my knowlodge and belief, we are in full compliance with the minimum requirements of the NFlp and we
understand that we must remain in full compliance with the minimum requirements of the NFIP, We understand that at any 1me we are not to
be in full compliance, we will retrograde to a CRS Class 10.
I hereby cediry that we will continue to maintain FEMA Elevation Ceilificates on all new buildings and substantial improvements constructed in
the Special Flood Hazard Area following the date at which we joined the CRS.
I hereby cerfiry that if lhere are one or morc repetitive loss properties in our community that we must take certain actions that include
reviewing and updating the lisl of repetitive loss properties, mapping repetitive loss areas, d-escribing the cause of the losses, and sending an
outreach projed to those areas each year, and if we have ffty (50) or more unmitigated repeiitive loss properties we must eam credit underAdivity 510 (Floodplain Management Planning) for either a repetilive loss area analysis (RHA) or a ffoodplain management plan (FMp).
I hereby certifo that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, we are maintaining in force flood insurance policies for insurable buildings ownedby us and located in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) shown on our Flood lnsurance Rate Map. lfurther understand that disasterassistance for any community-owned building located in the SFHA is reduced by the amount of Nalional Flood Insurance program (NFlp)
flood insuranoe coverage (structure and contents) that a community should be carrying on the building, regardless of whether the community
is carrying a policy.

lnstructions
At the first verification visit after the effective date of the 2013 CRS Coordinatols Manual, ONLY LINES 6 AND 13 NEED TO BE
COMPLETED' These lines form the baseline dala about the number of buildings and area of lhe SFHA for when the table is completed as
part of the next annual recerlification. The "period covered" entered in line 16 is the date thal lines 6 and 13 are first compleled.
At all subsequent annual recertifications and cycle verification visils, the entire table is compleled. The information in lines 6 and 13 from lhe
last report is transferred to lines 1 and 10 in the next report.
lnstructions for the Columns
Column A numbers are for the SFHA (the A and V Zones shown on the Flood lnsurance Rate Map) (FIRM)). Use the FIRM currenily in effect,
not a draft or pending revision.
Column B is completed only if the community receives CRS credit for regulating floodplain development outside the SFHA under Activity 410(Floodplain Mapping) or Activity 430 (Higher Regutatory Standards).
Column C numbers help relate what happens in the floodplain to what is happening in the rest of the community.
Enter "0' if there are no numbers to report for this period. Do not leave a cell blank. Do not fill in lhe shaded boies.
lnstructions for the Lines
Lines 1-7 dealwith buildings.o Section 301 .a of the CRS hodinatofs Manual defines what constitules a "building" and lists examples of struclures that are not
counted as "buildings" by the CRS.o Section 302.a of the CRS C,oordinatofs Manual describes how the GRS counts buildings. For example, aocessory structures are not
counted.
o As noted in Section 302.a, to delermine building counts, communities may use any method lhat yields reasonably good estimates of
the number of buildings. Examples of acceptable methods are listed in Seclion 302.a. Precision is less important foilirge numbers. For
example, the impact of the numbers will not change much if there are 10,000 buildings or 10,100 buildings.o lf a building is out of the SFHA, but in a parcel that is partly in the SFHA, it is not counted in column A --ln the SFHA.o ln line 14, nole how the building counts were obtained or estimaled. Use the comments area, if needed.
Line 4 refers to map revisions. These include physical map revisions, Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), and Letters of Map Amendment
(LOMA)' lf a building is removed from the SFHA by FEMA through a LOMA, but lhe community still administers its floodplain management
regulations on the property, the building should not be included in the line 4 count in column A -ln the SFHA. However, communities lhat still
regulate areas removed by LOMAs can receive credit under Activities 410 or 430. lf the community is receiving such credit, the buiHing
should be counted under column B -ln a regulated floodplain outside the SFHA.
Line 7 is for the total number of buildings that were substantially improved plus the number of buildings lhat were substantially damaged
during lhe period covered.
Lines 10 -13 deal with areas.
o These areas are based on the areas shown on lhe community's FIRM including LoMRs or LoMAs. sedion 403.b discusses those
portions of the SFHA that are subtraded from the area of the SFHA to calculate the communig's aSFHA used in credit calculations.o Sec{ion 403.e of the CRS hordinatofs Manual discusses calculating areas for CRS purposes.o Section 403.e noles that communities'should not spend an inordinale amount of time measuring areas.'As with buildings,
communities may use any method that yields reasonably good eslimates. Examples of acceptable approac-hes are listed in-Section 403.e.o Line 13 asks for the current acreage of the SFHA. The best sourcs for this number is a GIS layer that shows the SFHA. lf the
community does not have GlS, lhe county, regional agency, or state NFIP mapping office may have SFHA layers and may be able to
provide the data. lf the community has a relatively recent FIRM, the study contractor or consulting engineer may have the data.o ln line 15, note how the area calculations were obtained or eslimated. Use the commenls area, if needed.
Lines 17 -19 are voluntary, if the numbers are readily available.o Line 17 includes replacing an existing manufactured home with a new one. The newly placed manufaclured home is counted as a new,
post-FlRM, building.o The total of lines 17 -19 should equal the value entered in line 2.

r 2018 lntemational Energy Conservalion Code@ (IECC)
r 2013 Abu Dhabi lntemational Building Code (ADIBC)I
tThe ADIBC is based on the 2009 lBC. 2009 IBC code seclions referenced
in this report are lhe same sections in the ADIBC.
Properties evaluated:
r Physical operation
I Water flow
2.0 USES
The Smart Veni@ units are engineered mechanically
operaled flood venls (FVs) employed to egualize
hydrostatic pressure on walls of enclosures subject to
rising or falling flood waters. Certain models also allow
natural ventilation.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 General:
When subjected to rising water, the Smart Vent@ FVs
internal floats are activated, then pivoi open to allow flow in
either direction to equalize water level and hydrostatic
pressure from one side of the foundation to ihe other. The
FV pivoting door is normally held in lhe closed position by
a buoyant release device. When subjecled to rising water,
the buoyant release device causes the unit to unlatch,
allowing the door to rotate out of the way and allow flow.
The water level stabilizes, equalizing the lateral forces.
Each unit is fabricated from stainless steel. Smart Vent@
Automatic Foundation Flood Vents are available in
various models and sizes as described in Table 1. The
SmartVENT@ Stacking Model #1540-51 1 and FloodVENT@
Stacking Model #1540-521 units each contain two
vertically arranged openings per unit.
3.2 EngineeredOpening:
The FVs comply with the design principle noted in Section
2.7.2.2 and Section 2.7.3 o'f ASCEISEI 24-14 [Seclion
2.6.2.2 of ASCE/SEI 24-OS (2012, 2009, 2006 IBC and
IRC)I for a maximum rate of rise and fall of 5.0 feet per
hour (0.423 mm/s). ln order to comply with the engineered
opening requirement of ASCE/SEI 24, Smart Venl FVs
must be installed in accordance with Section 4.0.
3.3 Ventilation:
The SmartVENT@ Model #1540-510 and SmartVENT@
Overhead Door Model #1540-514 both have screen covers
with 1/+inch-by-1/a-inch (6.35 by 6.35 mm) openings,
yielding 51 square inches (32 903 rnm2) of net free area to
supply natural ventilation. The SmartVENT@ Stacking
Model #1 540-51 1 consists of lwo Model #1540-510 units
in one assembly, and provides 102 square inches
(65 806 mm2) of net free area to supply natural ventilation.
Other FVs recognized in this report do not offer natural
ventilation.
3.4 Flood Vent Sealing Kit:
The Flood Vent Sealing Kit Model #1540-526 is used with
smartVENTo Model #1540-520. lt is a Homasote 440
Sound BarrieP (ESR-1374) insert with 21 - 2-inch-by-2-
inch (51 mm x 51 mm) squares cut in it. See Figure 4.
4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4,1 SmartVENT@ and FloodVENT@:
SmartVENT@ and FloodVENTo are designed to be
installed into walls or overhead doors of existing or new
construction from the elCerior side. lnstallation of the
vents must be in accordance with the manufacturer's
instruclions, the applicable code and this report.
lnstallation clips allow mounting in masonry and concrete
walls of any thickness. ln order to comply with the
engineered opening design principle noted in Section
2.7.2.2 and 2.7.3 of ASCE/SEI 24-14 [Section 2.6.2.2 ol
ASCE/SEI 24-05 (2012, 2009, 2006 IBC and IRC)1, the

Article l. Purpose and Definitions
14.08.010 Purpose.
It is the purpose of this chapter:
1. To protect human life and health;
2. To minimize expenditure of public money and costly flood control and flood relief projects;
3. To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally
undertaken at the expense of the general public;
4. To minimize prolonged business interruptions;
5. To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric,
telephone and sewer lines, streets, and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard;
6. To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of
special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight areas;
7. To ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard;L To ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for
their actions; and
9. To administer the washington state Floodplain Management Act Ghepler_gGJORC\M and
maintain Kittitas County's eligibility to participate in the National Flood lnsurance Program.
(Ord. 2001-03; Ord. 93-18 5 1, 1993).
14.08.015 Methods of reducing flood losses.
ln order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions for:
1. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water
or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or
velocities;
2. Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected
against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
3. Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective
barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;
4. Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood
damage; and
5. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert
floodwaters or may increase flood hazards in other areas. (Ord. 2001-03).
I 4.08.020 Definitions.
Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this chapter shall be interpreted so as to
give them the meaning they have in common usage and to give this chapter it's most reasonable
application.
AcCessofy-Structute
A strr.rcture on the same.parcgl oI prqpgrty as a principal structure and the use of which is
irrcidental to the use of the.principal structure. For floodplain managemerrt purposes. the
tgrm includes only accessory structures used for parking and qtorage.
Alteration of watercourse
Any action that will change the location of the chann_gl, egEgpred by water within
any poltion of -qrivering waterbody.
Appeal
A request for review of the county floodplain administrator's interpretation or application of
any provision of this chapter or a request for a variance.
Area of shallow flooding
A designated AO, er AH, or ABIAH Zone on the Flood lnsurance Rate Map (FIRM) with a -one
oercent o-r greater annual chance of flooding to an average. The base fleed depths range
from one to three feet, a cleady defined channel does not exist, the path of flooding is
unpredictable and indeterminate, and velocity flow may be evident. AO is characterized as
sheet flow and AH indicates ponding.
Area of special flood hazard
The land in the floodplain within a community subject to a one percent or greater chance of
flooding in any given year. Designation on EIBM maps always includes the letters A.AQ,:!LL
A1-30, AE, A99 and AR. Also referred to as "1O0-year floodplain" and "special flood hazard
arba."
Agriculture
"Agriculture" is the graztng, feeding, and watering of livestock; plowing, seeding, cultivation,
and harvesting for the production of crops and pasture; soil and water conseruation
practices; the maintenance of farm or stock ponds, irrigation ditches, irrigation structures,
drainage ditches, underground drainage systems, fences and farm roads, the control of
noxious weeds or other generally accepted agriculture practices, and for purposes of this
chapter does not include associated structures and/or appurtenances,

pubfithed by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Base flood
The flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. Also
refened to as the " 1 O0-year flood." Sesigna+ien-e* rnaps alwayr ineluder the htter A,
Base flood elevation
The computed elevation to which flood water is anticipated to rise during the base flood
period. Base Flood Elevations (also referred to as BFEs) are shown on Flood lnsurance Rate
Maps (FlRMs) and on the flood profiles. The BFE is the regulatory requirement for the
elevation or floodproofing of structures. Relationship between the BFE and a structure's
elevation determines the flood insurance premium.
Basement
Any area of the building having its floor subgrade (below ground level) on all sides.
Best available information
ln the absence of official flood insurance rate map data, communities can use data from
other federal, state, or other sources provided this data has either been generated using
technically defensible methods or is based on reasonable historical analysis and experience.

1. The Kittitas County irrikllrl appeals trerarcllle.arlllg:_-Uat!1pltr as established by the county shall
hear and decide appeals and requests for variances from the requirements of this chapter.
2. The appealsbe*++1lle.a11-lgt -Lxat!llt)_!:r shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is
an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the county in the enforcement
or administration of this chapter.
3. Those aggrieved by the decision of the appeais {:eiaml i:leaLitgi fugtr_ttnqlr or any taxpayer may
appeal such decision to the Kittitas County superior court as provided by law.
4. ln passing upon such applications, the appeals'irt+a+r.l il.gatitrg5 -l-11arylilr-e-r shall consider all
technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this chapter,
and the following:
a, The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;
b. The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;
c. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect
of such damage on the individual owner;
d. The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;
e. The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;
f. The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to
flooding or erosion damage;
g. The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;
h. The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain
management program for the area;
i. The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles;
i. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transpoft of the flood
waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and
k. The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including
maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and
water systems, and streets and bridges.
5. Generally, the only condition under which a variance from the elevation standard may be issued
is for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot one-half acre or
less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the
base flood elevation provided subsections (4Xa) through (k) of this section have been fully
considered. As the lot size increases, the technicaljustification required for issuing the variance
increases,
6. Upon consideration of the factors of subsection (4) of this section and the purposes of this
chapter, the appeak boarej "|jee[[gSl&ng.]er_-may attach such conditions to the granting of a
variance as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this chapter.
7. 9{rbir€-W€r*slhe l]SgdplatnA_r1m]l-li5latal shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and
report any variances to the Federal lnsurance Administration upon request.
8. After the county has rendered an order either granting or denying a flood control zone permil
said order may be appealed to the Pollution Control Hearings Board pursuant to state law.

structure's continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the minimum
necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
2. Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels
during the base flood discharge would result. Variance requests in the designated floodway
shall be accompanied by a professional engineering analysis of the resultant base flood
discharge.
3. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary,
considering the flood hazard, to afford relief and upon:
a. A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to
the applicant; and
! A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights,
additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense,.n+rci create a nuisance

4. Variances as interpreted in the National Flood lnsurance Program are based on the general
zoning law principle that they pertain to a physical piece of property; they are not personal in
nature and do not pertain to the structure, its inhabitants, economic or financial circumstances.
They primarily address small lots in densely populated residential neighborhoods. As such,
variances from the flood elevation requirements should be quite rare.
.1,.. Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings in very limited circumstances to allow a
lesser degree of flood-proofing than watertight or dry-flood-proofing, where it can be
determined that such action will have low damage potential, and comply with all other variance
criteria.

prohibition shall be inclusive of the end date of each period, An RV placed before the prohibited
period shall not remain after November 14th; and
Exception: This regulation shall not be interpreted to prevent recreational use of
property, but shall prohibit the unattended storage of all recreational vehicles and
equipment during the flood season as outlined in -14.00.&5 (1). lf a notice of
correction is placed upon the RecreationalVehicle and such notice is observed upon
such Recreational Vehicle over 72 hours later, such observation shall create a
rebuttable presumption of unattended storage. Such notice must reference that failure
to remove it will create the before stated presumption.
Exception: Lawfully established, conditionally permitted uses (CUPs) such as
campgrounds and recreational parks in existence prior to the adoption of this
ordinance shall be allowed to continue their approved operations provided such uses
are not dangerous to life and property and have and continue to comply with the laws

14.08.300 Floodways.
Located within areas of specialflood hazard established in KCC 14.08.040 are areas designated as
floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters
which carry debris and potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply:1. Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other
development, unless certification by a registered professional engineer is provided
demonstrating through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with
standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase
in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge,
2. Construction or reconstruction of residential structures is prohibited within designated
floodways, except for:
a. Repairs, reconstruction, or improvements to a structure which do not increase the ground
floor area; and
b. Repairs, reconstruction or improvements to a structure, the cost of which does not exceed
50 percent of the market value of the structure either: (i) before the repair or reconstruction
is started, or (ii) if the structure has been damaged, and is being restored, before the
damage occurred. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations
of state or local health, sanitary, or safety codes which have been identified by the local
code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living
conditions or to structures identified as historic places shall not be included in the 50
percent.
3. lf subsection (1) of this section is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements
shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of
KCC 14.08.180 through 14.08.310, provisions for flood hazard reduction, except for construction
and reconstruction of residential structures that is prohibited by subsection (2) of this section.

Shallow flooding areas appear on FIRMs as AO Zones with depth designations. The base flood
depths in these zones range from one to three feet above ground where a clearly defined channel
does not exist, or where the path of flooding is unpredictable and where velocity flow may be
evident. Such flooding is usually characterized as sheet flow. ln these areas, the following provisions

shall either:
a. Have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent grade of
the building site, one foot or more above the depth number specified on the FIRM (at least
two feet if no depth number is specified); or
b. Together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, be completely flood-proofed to or
above that level so that any space below that level is watertight with walls substantially
impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability
of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy. lf this method is
used, compliance shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect as
in KCC 14.08.270(3).

Dear <Owner_Firstl <Owner_Last>,
ln these mid-September days, with the brisk mornings and first rainfall that we've seen in months, it is
beginning to feel like fall. As cooler and wetter weather returns, it is a good time to prepare for potential
flooding. You have received thislgtter because vour propertv at <Situs Addressr is in an area that has
flooded several times. Here are some things you can do to reduce your flood risk:
Contact the Flood Control Zone District lor lnlormation about the extent ol past flooding in your orea.
Department staff can share more information about the causes of repetitive flooding within your area,
what the County is doing about it, and what would be an appropriate flood protection level. Our staff
can visit your property to discuss flood protection alternatives.
Prepare forflooding:
o Know how to shut off the electricity and gas to your house when a flood comes.
r Make a list of emergency numbers and identify a safe place to go.
r Make a household inventory, especially of basement contents.
r Put insurance policies, valuable papers, medicine, etc., in a safe place.
o Collect and put cleaning supplies, camera, waterproof boots, etc., in a handy place.
r Develop a disaster response plan. See www.ready.sov/p13n for information about preparing
your home and family for a disaster.
Consider permonent flood protectlon meosuresi
o Mark your fuse or breaker box to show the circuits to the floodable areas. Turning off the power
to the basement before a flood can reduce property damage and save lives.
o Consider elevating your house above flood levels.
r Check your building for water entry points, such as basement windows, the basement stairwell,
doors, and dryer vents. These can be protected with low walls or temporary shields.
r lnstall a floor drain plug, standpipe, overhead sewer, or sewer backup valve to prevent sewer
backup flooding.
r More information can be found at the FEMA'S Homeowner's Guide to Retrofitting, Six Woys to
Protect Your Home from Flooding (FEMA P-312).

a Note that some flood protection measures may need a building permit and others may not be
safe for your type of building, so be sure to talk to the Building Department. Their phone
number is 509-962-7506.
Learn obout finoncial ossistance optlons:
o Grant funding may be available for home elevation, home relocation, or property acquisition -
contact Flood Control District staff for more information.
o Flood insurance helps pay for repairs after a flood and, in some cases, it will help pay the costs
of elevating a substantially damaged building.
Obtal n llood lnsurance:
r Homeowne/s insurance policies do not cover damage from floods. However, because our
community participates in the National Flood lnsurance Program, you can purchase a separate
flood insurance policy. This insurance is backed by the Federal government and is available to
everyone, even properties that have been flooded. Because our community participates in the
Community Rating System, you will receive a reduction in the insurance premium.
r lf your home is not within the 100-year floodplain, you may qualify for a lower-cost Preferred
Risk Policy.
o Some people have purchased flood insurance because it was reguired by the bank when they
got a mortgage or home improvement loan. Usually these policies just cover the building's
structure and not the contents. There is usually more damage to the furniture and contents than
there is to the structure. Be sure you have contents coverage.
r Don't wait for the next flood to buy insurance protection. ln most cases, there is a 30-day
waiting period before National Flood lnsurance Program coverage takes effect.
o Contact your insurance agent for more information on rates and coverage.

2. Descibe how this annual progresn report (not the credited Plan) was prepared
and how it was submitted to the goveming body, released to the media, and made
available to the public:
Kittitas County Public Works staff contacted each of the primary and alternate
contacts for the participating annexes, provided them with the list of initiatives for
their annex identified within the Plan, and requested that they provide the status on
each of the initiatives listed. Kittitas County Fire District #51, the Snoqualmie Pass
Utility District, the Cle Elum-Roslyn School District, and the Kittitas County
Conservation District all provided status updates. County staff then reviewed the
County-\Mde and Unincorporated Kiftitas County Mitigation lnitiatives and provided a
status update. All information was compiled into a single document.
On October 11,2021, Kittitas County Public Works staff briefed the Kittitas County
Board of Commissioners on progress implementing the Hazard Mitigation Plan,
focusing on the recent reports we received. This information was presented at the
Public Works Study session, a public meeting. The 2021 report has been posted to
the Kittitas County's website and a press release was issued notiffing the public
about its availability.
3. Provide a description of the implementation of each recommendation or action item
in the action plan or area analysis repoft, including a statement on how the project
was implemented or not implemented during the previous yean
Please see the attached report, which provides the description for each of the
County-Wide and unincorporated Kittitas County Mitigation lnitiatives.
4. Dtscuss why any objectives were not reached orwhy implementation is behind
schedule:
Several importiant activities, such as the purchase of flood-prone property and the
deployment of real-time stream gages to support a flood warning system, were
accomplished in the reporting period. Additionally, reporting annexes indicated that
they have had success implementing initiatives identified in this plan. While there
has been success implementing the plan, Flood Control Zone District (FCZD)
staffing capacity is a limitation for advancing some flood-specific projects identified
within the plan. The FCZD is planning on supplemental staff support in2021.
During the October 11 2021, study session, Commissioner Wright noted that there
had been no progress implementing lnitiative KC-31, which is to enhance the
existing dam failure early warning system and requested that staff investigate
potential actions to address this activity.
5. Wat are the recommendations for new projecfs or revised rccommendations?
There are no recommendations for new projects or revised recommendations at this
time.
