That was never placed in writing, correct? 30 <br /> 31 <br />Michael Harvey: That is a correct statement. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Andy Petesch: And this was. These discussions. The Brewers’ came to you in approximately the 34 <br />spring of 2015 to discuss this and what compliance issues they needed to address in order to 35 <br />make use of this property? 36 <br /> 37 <br />Michael Harvey: Spring and summer, yes sir. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Andy Petesch: Ok. And so your communication of that decision that they needed to proceed on the 40 <br />path of receiving/seeking a Special Use Permit was just communicated orally. Is that correct? 41 <br /> 42 <br />Michael Harvey: That’s a correct statement. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Andy Petesch: And they pursued, they chose to proceed on that voluntarily to proceed on the 45 <br />Special Use Permit application path, although there was discussions of… Well, I’ll… Before I… 46 <br />They chose voluntarily to proceed in submitting a Special Use Permit? 47
