1 we going to get it at the meeting itself?
2 MR. BABIAK: Well, let me discuss it
3 with Daryl and -- and the staff in Budget, explain the
4 request, and see if four times a year if our work
5 can't be moved earlier in -- in their overall
6 processes and find out what we can do. I think one of
7 the challenges that we have is that for the employment
8 and housing cases, we have a -- a number of days at
9 the beginning of the each month to submit the cases
10 that are considered closed in the previous month. And
11 so first we have to do our work of getting the cases
12 closed in the system before we provide that data to
13 the folks in Budget that they use to prepare our
14 financials.
15 Certainly, we can simply implement an
16 internal procedure that we cut off on the 1st and
17 submit our information to the folks in Budget. There
18 may be a -- a one-time reported loss in production by
19 moving your cut-off date earlier. Certainly, that
20 would be reflected in the next period where the
21 following period you would pick up the cases that
22 would have normally been reported, you know, say
23 through the 4th or 5th day of the month. So, that's
24 certainly one option for us.
