Yes. <br />Ted Treibel I understand why you wouldn't pick a peak day -the 15"' or the 30"' -but is <br />there any reason why you pick a Thursday, and why didn't you pick a Friday, or some other <br />day? <br />Renal Stephenson Well, in a typical weekday, you can see, too, that the traffic numbers <br />that we counted were higher in the morning than the study had predicted and pretty close in <br />the afternoon, so, we feel that it was a pretty typical weekday. And, it may not be the 45~' or <br />the 30"', but it's a typical weekday. <br />Vice-Chair Schofield Sam <br />Sam Lasris What advantage does the Credit Union get out of people using their cars for <br />banking as opposed to going inside. Is there a definite advantage to the Credit Union to <br />have people banking in their cars? <br />Jonathan Parson There is a definite advantage, I mean, you can only have so many <br />people inside the building at any one time. Whereas in the cars, I mean... - - --~- - ~- <br />Sam Lasris You could expand your bank. I think the thing that bothers me is that we're <br />always expanding to accommodate automobile traffic rather than to accommodate people. <br />Jonathan Parsons The opposite way to look at that, the more people you put inside the. <br />building, the larger parking lot you will need, vice versa. The more traffic you stall into the <br />parking lot. You'd still have to have parking for those cars, though. You'd have 20 people <br />to handle, or 30 people. <br />A gentleman approaches the podium. <br />_., ... <br />._ _ ... <br />~. _ _ I <br />_Vice-Chair Schof~etd_ If you're going to speak, please state your name. _ - _ _ <br />Jay Smith I will, thank you. My name is Jay Smith with O'Brien Atkins Associates, and I'm <br />representing the applicant. The thing that I would like to add to that conversation, or that <br />comment you made, is that the clientele of banking -you may be the exception -are <br />wanting to have their transactions acquired quicker. And so that's why the advent of teller <br />lanes and ATM lanes and all these. The car, the vehicle for getting your transactions done <br />is becoming more popular. So, the Credit Union is not alone, and many banks are <br />approaching their business in this manner. <br />Vice-Chair Schofield Yes, Commissioner Jacobs. <br />Commissioner Jacobs I'll wait until we get to ask our. questions after they're finished. <br />Vice-Chair Schofield Yes.
