40 Draft <br /> 1 Kyle Myers: And so, the special-use permit is a means of changing some of the way it's regulated. <br /> 2 <br /> 3 Nora Dennis: That's correct. It's a way of increasing, increasing the regulation of the space and supporting <br /> 4 access for individuals with Medicaid to our services. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Kyle Myers: Right. So, it's expanding the outreach capability. But not necessarily, you're not as I read the <br /> 7 application, it doesn't look like you're trying to expand in how many people are coming, per <br /> 8 se. It's simply actually increasing the amount of regulation from the county, from the other <br /> 9 people that have eyes on what's going on for life, safety, whatever. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Nora Dennis: That's correct. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Kyle Myers: Okay. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Kevin Hornik: So unless there are any other questions for Dr. Dennis that's all I have for you. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Nora Dennis: Okay. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Leon Meyers: All right, good. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Kevin Hornik: We're moving on.
