so when when we met with you just two nights ago just to reiterate the issue the issue is that the current insurer for the town for law enforcement the law enforcement policy has advised the town that as of july 1st the deductible for events that occur under the law enforcement policy is going to go to fifty thousand
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00009.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00009.flac
9,857
because of that increase which the board has told me they found unacceptable we're trying to find solutions to that problem
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00010.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00010.flac
5,000
and we've been working with the kraft organization on that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00011.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00011.flac
31,075
what's happened since tuesday with regard to meyer is we spoke i spoke with them on yesterday on wednesday and asked them to a couple of things would they agree to postpone the increase in the deductible from seven thousand five hundred to fifty thousand would they agree to postpone that until we had the opportunity to resolve these insurance issues with the stadium they declined to do that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00012.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00012.flac
28,043
i asked them if they i asked em if asked em if they would consider imposing the fifty thousand deductible only for concerts as opposed to soccer events on the theory that soccer is relatively benign in terms of crowd behavior they declined to do that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00013.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00013.flac
9,708
and then with with john davis help we asked them whether they would consider a prorated premium change to effectively get them to the same place
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00014.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00014.flac
8,900
the proration thinking being that we get this resolved relatively quickly and therefore the cost the net cost to the town go down
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00015.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00015.flac
1,820
they declined to do that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00016.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00016.flac
16,029
but the one bit of good news from meyer that came in a phone call copied by email today is that the fifty thousand deductible is applicable only to stadium events it's not applicable townwide
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00017.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00017.flac
3,417
so that's where we are today with mia
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00018.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00018.flac
7,206
attorney cobery and i have had more conversations with one another today and yesterday than either of us care for
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00019.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00019.flac
8,885
and i do want to say that he's worked very very very diligently to try to help the town resolve this issue
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00020.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00020.flac
14,174
he can tell you later but if i can steal the thunder they have been able to think they can get in place actually this new policy before the next event before july 6th
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00021.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00021.flac
2,500
and that's some kind of doing
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00022.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00022.flac
7,640
we've been told by both meyer and early in talking with jim that we were really looking at a thirty to sixty day timeline
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00023.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00023.flac
5,661
it looks like they've been able to manage that to go down to about ten days so here's where we are
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00024.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00024.flac
4,083
you don't have an event coming up until july 6th
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00025.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00025.flac
12,205
we're going to ask the board after all of the presentations to consider putting over your decision on conditions of the license until july 5th
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00026.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00026.flac
21,713
we're going to ask the board to approve to continue its approval of the licenses as long as you get in place by that date a law enforcement policy that provides the coverage to the town in the form acceptable to you with a deductible acceptable to you
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00027.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00027.flac
4,053
between now and then there's a lot more work to do
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00028.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00028.flac
1,783
and we've been working very hard on it
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00029.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00029.flac
11,962
cindy's been working both days drafting agreements drafting motions dealing with meyer as i have with jim cobery
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00030.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00030.flac
7,315
so we've all been doing a lot of work and we have made some progress we are not there yet
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00031.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00031.flac
3,998
we're we're further along but we're not there yet
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00032.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00032.flac
9,857
we have drafted and sent to jim sent a copy to the town manager also a possible agreement that we could work out
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00033.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00033.flac
8,457
that's going to depend the resolution of this is going to depend we first have to know what kind of a policy we can get what it's going to cost
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00034.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00034.flac
3,916
i do think i can represent that that cost we'll be able to work out the portion of the cost of the premium
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00035.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00035.flac
14,582
i'm not talking about the deductible now in a way that's reasonably reflective of what it would cost us on one side of the town and secondly what it would cost us because of the stadium
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00036.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00036.flac
10,845
i don't know the impacts of what the new deductible or what the deductible will be that jim's going to tell you about
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00037.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00037.flac
21,091
there are a lot of moving parts to it that he'll explain but i don't know the impact once we have in place a policy provided through the stadium's efforts i don't know the impact of what that would be on meyer except for certain that that fifty thousand deductible will go down to seventy five
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00038.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00038.flac
13,108
but we're not to think that the cost of the policy should also go down since they're no longer primary since they no longer would be providing primary coverage for the town for stadium events
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00039.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00039.flac
3,464
so the net effect costwise is hard to calculate at this point
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00040.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00040.flac
5,000
we will get there but we're just not there tonight
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00041.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00041.flac
2,600
so i guess i'll stop as that introduction
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00042.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00042.flac
5,316
at the end i will want to get back and talk to you about a motion that we've drafted
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00043.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00043.flac
3,217
and let me say i know we're all working hard but we're getting paid for it
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00044.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00044.flac
2,804
and here you are two nights out of three
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00045.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00045.flac
2,148
so thank you for that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00046.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00046.flac
3,287
cindy you have anything to add no not at the moment no mark
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00047.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00047.flac
15,656
john no the only other thing that and this was i think dick alluded to this but when we realized that there was the issue of that letter that was accomplished the following morning and sent to mr cobery so that that could be accomplished
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00048.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00048.flac
20,428
and if they can play something within the next ten days that is a lot more that's a lot sooner than we were led to believe by other consultants we had spoken to in the past including meyer the other day when we spoke to joe callahan he thought thirty days was aggressive
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00049.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00049.flac
2,641
he thought it would take more like sixty days
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00050.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00050.flac
6,082
so if something can be placed in time for the first event of july the 6th that'd be great
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00051.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00051.flac
13,401
jim if you don't mind i'd like to set the context of what we're doing here and what is hopefully gonna happen over the next ten days the context very briefly is this all started with the weldnerdutton protective custody lawsuit
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00052.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00052.flac
14,031
with that lawsuit we realized that there were some gaps some areas that we could improve upon mutually improve upon our indemnification and the town's insurance program
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00053.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00053.flac
15,396
and we spent and when i say we dan john davis cindy dick and i started working on this back in december and spent a lot of time in december january february working out a new form of indemnification agreement which we were able to do
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00054.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00054.flac
4,621
and so by the end of february we came to an agreement about a new indemnification
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00055.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00055.flac
1,777
and i think that's a very reasonable document
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00056.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00056.flac
6,364
and i think it does protect all of us much better from situations like the weldnerdutton case
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00057.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00057.flac
3,764
when we finished that we turned our attention to the insurance protocol and what we could do to improve that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00058.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00058.flac
6,760
and just so you know what we mean by improve that the current policy is a seven thousand five hundred per person deductible
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00059.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00059.flac
15,091
and with the weldnerdutton case what happens there is each person who is involved in that case in the event they prevail and i don't think they will prevail but in the event they prevail they're not likely to get more than seven thousand five hundred
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00060.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00060.flac
1,112
but there are a lot of them
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00061.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00061.flac
3,739
there are potentially thousands of plaintiffs in that case
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00062.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00062.flac
17,670
and so if it is certified as a class and you do get a thousand plus plaintiffs all establishing damages in the seven thousand five hundred range you have a very substantial liability there that's not covered by insurance that would be part of your existing deductible
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00063.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00063.flac
6,372
and think we all agree that there should be some room there to improve that coverage
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00064.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00064.flac
7,730
and so starting in early march we started really working pretty hard to figure out what we could do to improve that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00065.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00065.flac
4,710
and the first step in the process was to find out if we could improve our insurance policy
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00066.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00066.flac
7,081
and so right now we provide you with additional insured coverage under our general liability policy
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00067.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00067.flac
19,290
and what that does plain and simple is if you are involved in any type of litigation or claim that is the result of our acts or omission or people that we control's acts or omission then you would presumably have coverage under our insurance policy
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00068.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00068.flac
11,312
what it doesn't do is cover you for acts and omissions that your employees or your agents people that we don't control would result in liability
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00069.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00069.flac
11,109
and so step number one was to find out if we could change our general liability insurance policy to extend the coverage to include your employees the police officers in this case
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00070.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00070.flac
7,077
and our insurance consultant a gentleman named mike norrick he went ahead and contacted our insurer
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00071.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00071.flac
3,230
and the insurer said no that they would not do it
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00072.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00072.flac
1,899
and so we reported that back
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00073.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00073.flac
11,206
and so and that obviously it was not acceptable so we started to check with other insurance companies and see if we could change insurers and get a better insurance policy
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00074.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00074.flac
4,740
and mike approached a number of insurance companies all of whom said basically the same thing
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00075.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00075.flac
2,393
they're not inclined to do that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00076.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00076.flac
9,890
and the reason they're not inclined to do it is because they would be in a situation where they would be insuring some folks activities and we have no control over them
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00077.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00077.flac
9,012
and the lack of control was something that they really all of these insurance companies uniformly had difficulty with
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00078.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00078.flac
5,725
and so that information i came back to the group and we started talking about other ways of resolving this issue
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00079.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00079.flac
21,490
and so the next approach was for our insurance consultant to try to identify opportunities for a townpurchased law enforcement professional liability insurance policy or i'm sorry for us to purchase a law enforcement professional insurance liability covering the activities of the town police force
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00080.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00080.flac
1,621
and we're not able to do that
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00081.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00081.flac
1,817
same reason because we don't control them
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00082.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00082.flac
9,648
so we thought about could we get a separate policy that the town would purchase and we would pay for we're getting a little warmer with that one
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00083.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00083.flac
8,843
but quite frankly the insurance companies came back and said they'd prefer to have one policy covering the town as opposed to two policies
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00084.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00084.flac
21,329
if there are two policies one covering activities at gillette stadium and the other covering the rest of the town the insurers had a concern that there would be what's called the other insurance clause issue where the insurance companies effectively point at each other and each tries to suggest the other one should really be the primary insurer
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00085.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00085.flac
11,162
so long story but we eventually settled on the idea that we would try to find a better alternative to existing via insurance policy
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00086.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00086.flac
22,411
and then we would work out some arrangement to allocate the premium associated with that policy and our insurance consultant informally because we weren't authorized to do anything officially on your behalf but informally he went out and contacted insurance companies and he found three that are active in massachusetts who were willing to provide that coverage
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00087.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00087.flac
2,194
and they each had a slightly different variant
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00088.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00088.flac
7,012
you all are familiar with insurance and you know there's premiums and deductibles and selfinsurance and every flavor you can possibly imagine
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00089.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00089.flac
8,223
but we found three companies and they were willing to do something and it seemed like each of them offered something that could be interesting to us collectively
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00090.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00090.flac
8,294
so we spoke with dick gelerman and kevin pecos and the timeframe of this is roughly april timeframe
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00091.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00091.flac
22,463
and we basically said hey if you can give us a letter that authorizes our consultant mike norrick to review your loss data and also to talk officially with these insurance companies we will be able to get these informal discussions reduced to formal proposals which we can present to the town manager and whomever else
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00092.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00092.flac
7,903
and then collectively we can decide which insurance product we want to go forward with we did not receive that letter
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00093.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00093.flac
7,636
we asked for it a number of times including by email including in meetings
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00094.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00094.flac
23,684
you know we had a meeting at town hall in kevin pecos office in midmay where i emphasized to kevin that we were six weeks away from what i considered to be a deadline june 30th end of policy deadline and i really needed the letter to allow us to get the alternatives reduced to writing so we could resolve this issue
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00095.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00095.flac
6,200
i indicated to kevin at that time that six weeks was really a pretty short period of time for us to evaluate proposals
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00096.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00096.flac
4,699
first of all to obtain proposals then evaluate them and then buying the insurance policy
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00097.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00097.flac
5,097
so i was pretty emphatic that we really needed to get something pretty quickly
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00098.flac
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00098.flac
7,604
and at that meeting kevin told me that he would that he understood the deadline understood how to get the authorization letter
20130627BOS/20130627BOS/2013_06_27BOS_DOT_flac_00099.flac
