00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,480
background real quick

312
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,279
uh nymec we help you purchase the

313
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:43,600
electricity for your water pumping

314
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,920

and also for your street lighting we do

316
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,240
that in a group bid with about a hundred

317
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,279
other northern illinois municipalities

318
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:55,040
what we're talking about tonight though

319
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,079
and by the way both of those facilities

320
00:12:58,079 --> 00:13:00,880
are contracted through next year

321
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,880
which is really good because the current

322
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,839
state of the power markets is a little

323
00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:07,600
crazy which we'll get into in a second

324
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,639
what we're talking about tonight is

325
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,360
municipal aggregation and what municipal

326
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,639
aggregation is

327
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:14,959
in a summary is

328
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:18,399
once a municipality passes a referendum

329
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:20,639
then the municipality

330
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:23,279
can act as a purchasing agent

331
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:25,440
to see if they can find more favorable

332
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,200
purchasing terms

333
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,480
for their residents home electric bills

334
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,399
okay and you've had the program in place for

335
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:36,639
a while um and

336
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:38,639
then residents that are able to take

337
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:40,480
advantage of those they're notified and

338
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,519
if they have any concerns or

339
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:43,040
reservations they can opt out of that

340
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,720
program at all

341
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,160
i think you guys were

342
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,320
in the first handful of the first

343
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,560
municipalities in uh in northern

344
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,880
illinois in 2011 who started the

345
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,120
municipal aggregation program and so

346
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,120
kudos to you all for being out front on

347
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,920
that

348
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,720
for the for the uh for a couple years

349
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,720
after we started the program we had very

350
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,720
favorable rates

351
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,279
that we were able to procure

352
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,040
visa via the combat rate and so those

353
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,880
savings accrued directly to the

354
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,920
residents on their own electric bills

355
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,519
we had a couple years where we suspended

356
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:16,959
the program

357
00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:20,000
and then about in 2018 we started the

358
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,399
program back up

359
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:25,920
the current program uh just matches the

360
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,440
comed rate for residents so there are no

361
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,600
savings for the residents we match the

362
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,240
combat rate

363
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,079
their cabinet rate actually changes

364
00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:38,240
month to month and so our suppliers

365
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,800
match that on a month-to-month basis so

366
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,880
unfortunately there's no benefit that

367
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,440
approves directly to the residents

368
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,639
but what

369
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:48,639
we what what our suppliers are able to

370
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,079
do currently

371
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:53,279
are able to offer 25 of the power which

372
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:55,519
they purchase for the residents is

373
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:56,959
renewable power

374
00:14:56,959 --> 00:14:58,880
from renewable sources

375
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,279
and the municipality receives uh 2500

376
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:04,560
a month

377
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,560
in

378
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,160
renumeration from the supplier back to

379
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,040
the municipality to be used for whatever

380
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,839
you deem inappropriate to be so that's

381
00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:15,600
been going on for

382
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,320
uh for a couple years

383
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,320
um and so we're here to talk about a

384
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,399
renewal because the program is uh coming

385
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:24,839
up for renewal in

386
00:15:24,839 --> 00:15:27,760
september uh as i said

387
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,040
just

388
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,120
by again unfortunately we're in a

389
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,759
situation where the power markets are a

390
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:35,360
little out of control

391
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,480
um

392
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,079
natural gas

393
00:15:38,079 --> 00:15:40,079
pricing

394
00:15:40,079 --> 00:15:42,320
and electric pricing are very highly

395
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,399
correlated

396
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:46,320
and natural gas pricing maybe you all

397
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,800
noticed it last winter

398
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,279
is higher than it has been for quite

399
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:52,800
some time

400
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,959
i think prices now have tripled from

401
00:15:54,959 --> 00:15:56,880
where they were a year ago

402
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,000
so we are paying somewhere in the

403
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,199
neighborhood of 35 40 cents uh per therm

404
00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:05,279
for gas now gas is over 92 cents per

405
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:06,959
therm

406
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:08,480
and i think that the

407
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,440
uh upcoming nikkor rate is it's over a

408
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,959
dollar it's like a dollar twenty per

409
00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:14,959
thermal fortunately we don't use very

410
00:16:14,959 --> 00:16:17,360
much natural gas usage during the spring

411
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,519
in the summer

412
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:25,040
but the reason i bring that up is that has made the power markets

413
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,199
pretty unfavorable for our suppliers

414
00:16:27,199 --> 00:16:30,079
when they go out to match the program

415
00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:32,240
to renew the program and so we are

416
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,800
enabled are not able to

417
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,759
find renewable rate renewal rates that

418
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:39,120
are as favorable as what you're

419
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,040
currently currently

420
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,639
enjoying

421
00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:44,240
we have two suppliers that offer this

422
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,000
program and actually one player one

423
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,839
supplier has actually stepped aside we

424
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:49,279
said we just can't

425
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:51,440
offer any remorse for any of their

426
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,560
members

427
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,240
fortunately you're with a supplier

428
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,120
called mcsquared and they are offering

429
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,079
renewal

430
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:00,870
programs

431
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,240
now it's attractive but instead of uh 25

432
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,880
green they can do five percent green

433
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,360
uh for all the residents in your program

434
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:10,720
and instead of twenty five hundred

435
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,039
dollars a month is uh compensation back

436
00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:14,559
to the municipality

437
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:16,079
they can offer a thousand dollars a

438
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:19,439
month uh so they total 24 000

439
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:22,480
for the two year period

440
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,520
and so that's what uh we are presenting

441
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,160
for renewal we're actually pleased that

442
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,760
we have something to offer

443
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,240
um because again we've gone to a few

444
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,000
municipalities already and just said we

445
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,280
have nothing to offer and we have to

446
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,120
suspend the program

447
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:40,400
um so i think that speaks to the

448
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,799
favorability of your residence and load

449
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:44,640
profile the way you all use your power

450
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,880
it's still attractive to um

451
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,400
to mc squared

452
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,480
so that's the that's the most that's the

453
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,320
proposal we have before you to renew for

454
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,440
two years

455
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,760
uh and a thousand dollar a month civic

456
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,400
payment and then uh there'll be five

457
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,080
percent green energy included in the

458
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,400
program again to the residents

459
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,390
uh we just matched the comment rate

460
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,960
well i understand the change in the

461
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,120
financial power but i the world is

462
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:14,880
deeming that but i guess i just don't

463
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,720
understand why the green aspect would go

464
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,840
down so much yeah so um it's it's just a

465
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,039
financial it's just a pure financial uh

466
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:24,480
decision

467
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,559
supplier to do green energy has to go

468
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:29,200
out and purchase the renewable energy

469
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,120
certificates there's an open market for

470
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,280
those and they just have to compensate

471
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,960
for those

472
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,840
and so

473
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,080
um they said we wanted

474
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,360
their proposal was they wanted to have

475
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:40,880
some component of green energy because

476
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,720
we know that it's somewhat important to

477
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,520
you

478
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,200
and so kind of the minimum is five

479
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,440
percent and then they were able to

480
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,400
still offer some additional cash so it's

481
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,720
just a it's just a financial uh

482
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,240
calculation yeah that's kind of the

483
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,600
disappointing part to me i know you

484
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,679
can't help it but we need to get greener

485
00:18:57,679 --> 00:18:59,520
not less green

486
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,120
yep

487
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,710
can we agree with you

488
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,840
when you travel

489
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,679
through all these towns you

490
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:09,600
represent do you find there more people

491
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,520
putting solar panels under roofs now

492
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,720
because of that

493
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,039
um they have been putting solar panels

494
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:16,799
on their roofs that has been uh pretty

495
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:19,760
active over the last two years

496
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,080
and i think primarily because of the

497
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,200
subsidies state of illinois offered yeah

498
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,880
unfortunately those subsided those

499
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,720
stopped

500
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,840
and so that's pretty much ground

501
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,679
everything to a halt

502
00:19:33,679 --> 00:19:37,200
once we put this program in place

503
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,480
we'll probably come back to you in the late summer or fall

504
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,160
we have another program that we can add

505
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,720
on top of this and uh it's called

506
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,640
community solar

507
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,640
and it's where your residents can take

508
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,120
advantage of solar panels

509
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:54,320
that they don't have to put on their

510
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,280
homes

511
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,240
there are small solar farms and then

512
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,960
they can sign up for a portion of that

513
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,039
that's an opt-in program

514
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:03,919
and

515
00:20:03,919 --> 00:20:05,679
what we'll ask you at that point in time

516
00:20:05,679 --> 00:20:07,840
is if this is important to you

517
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,000
do you want to endorse the program

518
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,679
uh we'll tell you more about it as we

519
00:20:11,679 --> 00:20:13,760
get closer and uh might be something

520
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,280
that might be of interest to you it's

521
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,960
funny you mentioned that when i was at

522
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,919
my doctor last week dr sun he was spent

523
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:21,440
15 minutes talking to me about solar

524
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,960
panels and he was talking about

525
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,960
something very similar to that i'm sure

526
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,320
he'll be thrilled to hear that

527
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,640
possibility yeah yeah and again you

528
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,840
don't have to put solar panels

529
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,240
underneath there are small there's small

530
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,320
farms solar farms that would be in

531
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,679
northern illinois

532
00:20:35,679 --> 00:20:37,360
and basically your residents that they

533
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,559
sign up

534
00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:41,360
would you know alec would take the load

535
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,280
off of about two or four panels let's

536
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,960
just say and then that would have proved

537
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,240
to them and so it's it's a good program

538
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,760
and there might even be some actual

539
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,679
savings usually there's a premium for

540
00:20:51,679 --> 00:20:53,520
that uh so actually it might be a little

541
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,520
reduction in their cost and they can

542
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,799
still support that

543
00:20:56,799 --> 00:20:58,159
well there was somebody going around our

544
00:20:58,159 --> 00:20:59,840
neighborhood several people signed up

545
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,120
for my neighbor across the street just

546
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:02,880
got them put on their roof and

547
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,720
i guess they had a pretty interesting

548
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,080
program she's going to go over and tell

549
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,919
me about it because i'm very interested

550
00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:08,799
in it

551
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:10,480
and you don't have to pay for it she

552
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,720
said you just lease it for a fee

553
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,880
right which is kind of cool yeah there

554
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,200
have been folks going door to door um

555
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,440
obviously none of our suppliers do that

556
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,039
right and so

557
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:22,480
they've kind of gone through phase one

558
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,520
they've built all those out so we're

559
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,600
waiting for new production to be built

560
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,320
and we're in contact with

561
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,760
some of those suppliers as they build

562
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,320
those and we'll we'll make them work

563
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,520
thank you know under this program would the

564
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,919
residents be able to opt out

565
00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:38,880
or

566
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,320
in the program that we're talking about

567
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,400
tonight that we yeah with mc squared

568
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,440
absolutely

569
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,840
yes any resident in any aggregation

570
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,159
program can opt out at any at any time

571
00:21:50,159 --> 00:21:52,559
for any reason and there's no charge so

572
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:55,039
if they don't aren't aware of the opting

573
00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:57,679
out do they have to if they don't

574
00:21:57,679 --> 00:21:59,039
say they want to opt out are they

575
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:02,880
automatically in correct they'll be noted they'll be notified by

576
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,190
mail

577
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,039
thank you and and just to be clear on me

578
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:08,400
if i can just

579
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,400
get into the weeds here a little bit but

580
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,480
our supplier doesn't serve 100 of your

581
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,799
residents in the program

582
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:17,600
what every every uh resident

583
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,159
has their own individual load shape and

584
00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:22,080
profile and they all have a different

585
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,240
cost to serve from our suppliers point

586
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,679
of view

587
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:27,360
so what they do is they pick the

588
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:29,760
favorable ones and the and the ones that

589
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,400
aren't as favorable they leave at comed

590
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,240
now i know that having two different

591
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,840
groups of residents in town is

592
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,440
problematic but let me just make it's

593
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,799
very very clear

594
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:40,480
it doesn't matter what group you're in

595
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,120
because you're both going to get your bill from

596
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:44,400
comment and you're going to be billed at

597
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,039
the identical rate okay one will come

598
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:48,640
from our supplier and she squared the

599
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,880
other beef supply by combat and so

600
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,640
that's what that's the way they're able

601
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,799
to offer this program so just to be

602
00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:56,880
clear not 100 of your residents will

603
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,280
receive letters on this renewal only

604
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,679
those who are uh involved

605
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:04,240
with their accounts or rates are squared

606
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,480
and those rates if comments rates

607
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,120
fluctuate and these fluctuate also along

608
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,679
with yeah and then and there's because i

609
00:23:11,679 --> 00:23:12,880
tell you the power markets are a little

610
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,600
crazy the current comed rate well

611
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,000
until last week for the year previous

612
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,200
around 7.8 cents per kilowatt hour and

613
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,799
starting this month that's going up to

614
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:24,799
9.8 cents

615
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:26,559
so

616
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:28,799
yeah so not only is gas kind of

617
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:31,280
crazy but electric follows and

618
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,600
prices are going up right now

619
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,360
and but to your point

620
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:37,120
if there's any change in the combat rate

621
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,440
in which they do change everything we we

622
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,320
mirror that every single month

623
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,480
well i think that the the residents were

624
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,000
getting

625
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,360
very favorable rebates back in 11 12 and

626
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,919
13 yeah when the market was kind of

627
00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:54,880
whack yep and that's when the savings

628
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,750
were really

629
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:58,720
evident

630
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,600
now the market has really evened out

631
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,679
we always test it just to be clear we

632
00:24:03,679 --> 00:24:05,679
every time we do any sort of renewal we

633
00:24:05,679 --> 00:24:07,440
always test to see if there are more

634
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,279
favorable rates

635
00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:11,600
fixed rates available to the residents

636
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,520
we always test that before we go to our

637
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,720
program this

638
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,159
matching program

639
00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:19,279
and the comment um excuse me mc square

640
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:22,080
of his offer was 11.3 cents

641
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,360
compared to 9.8 cents wow so that'll

642
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:27,120
just tell you um

643
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,039
how kind of crazy the market is right

644
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:30,320
now

645
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,760
do you have any information about

646
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,320
residence energy they were out in crest

647
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,440
hill last week the name is residence i

648
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,159
think it was residence energy resident

649
00:24:40,159 --> 00:24:41,120
energy

650
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:43,279
they were out knocking door to door

651
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:45,679
um do you have any information like i

652
00:24:45,679 --> 00:24:47,760
don't know because they asked like

653
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,400
they should go that route but do you

654
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,440
compare to them or nothing like that

655
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,880
um there's a listing uh on the internet

656
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,679
uh

657
00:24:57,679 --> 00:24:58,960
for if you

658
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,480
of a lot of the different public

659
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:05,190
offerings uh it's at pluginillinois.org

660
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,960
the icc puts that out there and then

661
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,559
they and suppliers will put their

662
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:09,840
offerings there

663
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,200
okay just as a rule of thumb

664
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,559
um

665
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,520
as a rule of thumb we don't find offers

666
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,279
there that are more favorable than the

667
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:21,039
continent rate

668
00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:22,080
um

669
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,240
they may have a teaser rate for three

670
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,000
months or six months

671
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,679
a friend of mine sent me his mother's

672
00:25:27,679 --> 00:25:30,400
bill the other and they were at 14 and a

673
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,600
half cents

674
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,240
and that's when the comment rate was 7.8

675
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,240
okay so

676
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,000
unfortunately

677
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,400
this is you know not i'll make a generic

678
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,640
statement across the world but i think

679
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,360
a number of suppliers

680
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,360
take advantage of folks who don't pay

681
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:48,400
attention

682
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,000
sign up give them a good rate for two

683
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
months and then just escalate the rate

684
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,760
and actually in this particular case the

685
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,080
right was 14 and have never gone to 59

686
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,480
next month so

687
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,200
i

688
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,400
you know

689
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,400
i would just encourage my mom lives in

690
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,000
illinois i tell her stay in the comment

691
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:04,960
rate

692
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,480
okay yeah you have to read the fine

693
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,240
print yeah and i'm not saying that

694
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,760
they're i'm not saying there's nobody

695
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,520
who offers a good rate i'm just saying

696
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,919
we just haven't seen any we check those

697
00:26:13,919 --> 00:26:16,480
uh offerings you know pretty regularly

698
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,799
and you said we go on website it's

699
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:20,760
called it's called

700
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,840
www.plugin illinois

701
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,840
no spaces plug in illinois.org

702
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,279
and then there will be

703
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:32,480
a place that says compare offers now

704
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,039
and you pick count med and then

705
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:36,960
they'll give you a laundry list of

706
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,200
offers there okay thank you because

707
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,960
that's really important because they do lie at the door and they tell

708
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,600
them

709
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,640
you know i i can tell you stories and

710
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,230
i'm sure there's some good ones but

711
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,360
i would

712
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:53,840
not and dave is that one of those things

713
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,919
where they they got an introductory rate

714
00:26:55,919 --> 00:26:58,720
for say six months and then it just goes

715
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,799
to a high rate and stays there

716
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:02,480
for the length i've seen i've seen that

717
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,320
often i can't say that everybody's that

718
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,039
way um but i do know that the less

719
00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:08,559
scrupulous ones

720
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:10,240
will do that i think they're theory as

721
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,080
people pay attention for a month or two

722
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,159
after they get their their bills

723
00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:15,360
and then after about six months they

724
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,120
quit paying attention and yeah and

725
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:18,880
that's where we've seen them

726
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,440
um you know 14 15 cents

727
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,559
is almost double the comment rate yeah thank you

728
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:28,080
well that resident energy i was trying

729
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,840
to tell that's the one we got the email

730
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:30,640
about

731
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,640
yeah people were complaining

732
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,240
but when they come to my door the first

733
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,000
thing i ask them is for their permit

734
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,559
yeah oh well my boss says well did you

735
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:40,480
know that you can't come to the door

736
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,000
without one anybody out there has to

737
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,520
have it so

738
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,120
you have two options here you go get

739
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,279
your permit your copy or i'll just let

740
00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:48,559
the local police know you're out here

741
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:50,080
without a permit you never see people

742
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,159
run so far for their trucks because

743
00:27:52,159 --> 00:27:54,159
they're trying to mess with the there's

744
00:27:54,159 --> 00:27:55,520
a lot of elderly people out there you

745
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,039
know who listen and what they say

746
00:27:57,039 --> 00:27:58,559
because i get the phone calls they said

747
00:27:58,559 --> 00:27:59,840
they could do this don't listen they

748
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,120

that i put the fair god into him ahead

752
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,200
every time

753
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,640
yeah we put something out on facebook

754
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,279
i heard a community that you know police

755
00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:15,279
actually went out there and told him you

756
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:16,720
can't do this

757
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,919
and later that day they were on the

758
00:28:17,919 --> 00:28:20,480
other side of town yeah

759
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,440

760
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,799
i'm not here i'm not saying no i know i

761
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:27,120
mean yeah i i would suggest if you don't be part of

762
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:28,559
the program if you have concerns of our

763
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:32,080
program let's go to combat and

764
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,279
that's where we recommend it's the

765
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:35,120
safest place to be

766
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:36,880
yes another question

767
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,720
about five six years ago maybe longer

768
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,880
they had wind power all this windmill

769
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,480
what happened to that product now you

770
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,320
don't hear about that anymore is that is

771
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,440
that a

772
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,039
not bad subject to talk about now or

773
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:48,480
something or what happened no they're

774
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,919
still building they're still building

775
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:51,440
wind and they're still building

776
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,039
windmills um uh they're yeah and they

777
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,360
obviously haven't gone away um they may

778
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,440
just not be advertising and i know the

779
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,520
big expansion right now is offshore on

780
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,520
the east and west coast coast that's

781
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,840
where it's really uh going but

782
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,200
um

783
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,840
but yeah the cost of wind power has come

784
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:10,720
down

785
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,559
and they're still people are still

786
00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:14,320
building wind power you know the

787
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,919
pritzker wants to be

788
00:29:15,919 --> 00:29:18,960
i think 100 green by 2050

789
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,120
is what his target is so

790
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,120
i'll be building more

791
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,559
because the only one ever saw was down

792
00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:25,600
around

793
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,039
odell or something down there in a big

794
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:29,279
field down there oh yeah yeah and then

795
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:31,200
indiana northwest northeast india

796
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,159
northwest india has a lot of wisconsin

797
00:29:34,159 --> 00:29:36,080
has a lot of them too i think i think

798
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,120
iowa is one of the top in the country so

799
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,679
um when it must blow in iowa i just

800
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:43,440
thought maybe if they did it now it's

801
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,039
done it's over with them something else

802
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:46,640
no that's still it's still going it's

803
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,559
still big they're uh they're trying you

804
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:49,600
know the whole

805
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,520
uh the whole country is trying to phase

806
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,120
out fossil fuels

807
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,120
and get to uh

808
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,000
to more renewable sources so

809
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,679
yeah

810
00:29:59,679 --> 00:30:01,120

00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:37,919
out on theodore these walls need to be

935
00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:40,320
designed by a structural engineer one of

936
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,040
them i did in-house already but this is

937
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,480
actually money that we're going to get

938
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,109
reimbursed back from the state

939
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:51,200
second where motion by alderman dykes

940
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,720
second available their woman resolved

941
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:55,040
for the approval of the

942
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,400
uh theodore wall design at highland and

943
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,040
cora uh to christopher burke engineering

944
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,160
not to exceed 28 590 dollars questions

945
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,320
or comments well i'm just glad they're doing like poured ones now right

946
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,680
yeah we're going to do poured ones

947
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,920
they're actually going to be a little bit

948
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,839
different than the ones that we just set

949
00:35:13,839 --> 00:35:14,960
up we're going to actually have an

950
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,880
imprint on there of something a

951
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,359
limestone or but we haven't figured out

952
00:35:19,359 --> 00:35:20,640
what the imprint is going to be yet but

953
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,920
something give it a little more visual

954
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,240
look to it um and obviously there's two

955
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:26,160
walls that we're short on the goal will

956
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,560
be next year to try to tackle one and

957
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,079
then maybe the next one because those

958
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,320
walls are gonna be about a hundred grand

959
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,480
you know so but at least let's get some

960
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,760
of these done since we got the

961
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,359
reimbursement coming

962
00:35:37,359 --> 00:35:38,800
did you say we're gonna get reimbursed

963
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,560
back to that yes this is part of the

964
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,960
rebuild illinois uh the city put money

965
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,079
in for this 65 000

966
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:48,800
back in 2018 or 19 when the request was

967
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,079
made i'm not

968
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:50,880
um

969
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,079
i don't have all the privileges of the

970
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,160
details if they were specific walls or

971
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,839
not we just know that there was a long

972
00:35:55,839 --> 00:35:58,800
theater so um i know that the city has

973
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,040
already changed a couple out

974
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,040
and we're going to actually

975
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,400
the one that i designed right you're

976
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,920
going to eliminate all together and

977
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,280
grade it out we're just going to move a

978
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,280
comed pull back that way you'll have to

979
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,880
worry about any maintenance of that wall

980
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,280
in the future the other two we can't

981
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:14,640
eliminate but again we're going to

982
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,560
replace those with a

983
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,440
be a tea concrete wall with some type of

984
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,680
limestone or some type of finish on the

985
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,359
outside that's in front of the homes yes

986
00:36:25,359 --> 00:36:28,079
yeah that one from 2018 that was uh when

987
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:31,200
dave vanderville yes here um with

988
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,200
christopher parks so

989
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,880
it does look much better with the solid

990
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,640
wall than all the blacks because yeah

991
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,480
the blacks like pop out

992
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,640
exactly you can see it right now exactly

993
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:41,920
what it looks like when you have a

994
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,760
standing retaining one when they put

995
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,520
those walls up they put the glue between

996
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,560
the bricks

997
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,720
between the stones with the state the

998
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:50,800
ones that are up there now yeah um

999
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:51,760
probably

1000
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:52,960
when we put this new one up we're going

1001
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,640
to put the glue to glue them together

1002
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,880
we're doing a solid concrete wall

1003
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,200
it will not be a stacked retaining wall

1004
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,280
it'll be a solid concrete wall

1005
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,400
they're going to put the weep holes in

1006
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,079
them too right yes we'll have there'll

1007
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:06,320
be there'll be a drain tile behind it we

1008
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,240
poles down at the bottom so it'll

1009
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:10,320
properly drain sidewalks in the front

1010
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,320
will have to be replaced you know to the

1011
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,320
back of the curb

1012
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,760
wouldn't it wouldn't the stone wall look

1013
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,680
nicer than a brick wall or a concrete

1014
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,000
wall well it's going to be a concrete

1015
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,880
wall with an imprint of a stone or a

1016
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,119
limestone type look to it it's not going

1017
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:27,119
to be stamped concrete right stamp

1018
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:29,040
concrete not like they you know the

1019
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,440
walls weren't as tall so it was kind of

1020
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,119
the ones that they did before really

1021
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:34,800
couldn't stamp those but these are so

1022
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,680
tall that just to have just a slab of

1023
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,680
concrete and get some texture on there

1024
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,880

ordinance 1905.

1091
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:06,240
chief just curious um let's say we put

1092
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:07,839
the signs up and we put an effect and

1093
00:40:07,839 --> 00:40:11,119
they continue to do this and i know it's

1094
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:12,960
hard to have somebody sit there all day

1095
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,280
is there a way to maybe put cameras out

1096
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,829
there

1097
00:40:17,839 --> 00:40:20,079
uh we definitely could put cameras on

1098
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:23,030
here um

1099
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,280
i mean even like a wireless in a camera

1100
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,640
yeah it would have to be like a solar

1101
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,160
type camera or a battery powered i'm

1102
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,480
just wondering because if it gets if it

1103
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,560
keeps going on even after the signs are

1104
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,920
off

1105
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,960
um

1106
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,520
i think i think after a few uh well

1107
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,760
we'll see two reminders that tends to

1108
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,040
yeah it's just kind of out there you

1109
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,640
know it's not like it's right around

1110
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,079
yeah you got to purposely go through

1111
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:48,079
that yeah yeah i agree

1112
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:50,720
i do yeah i i we something we consider

1113
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:52,560
also the property as cameras as well i

1114
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:53,680

there so i thank them for their uh

1177
00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:21,440
presence in being there again i believe

1178
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,240
it was a very solemn ceremony for all of

1179
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:26,560
our veterans who have passed away and

1180
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,520
naturally for our two police officers

1181
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,000
tim simonson and jim nink who were

1182
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,520
killed in the line of duty in the city

1183
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,040
of crest hill

1184
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:35,839
so

1185
00:43:35,839 --> 00:43:37,920
again we

1186
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,280
i believe it was very solemn ceremony uh

1187
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,119
to honor all of these individuals we

1188
00:43:43,119 --> 00:43:44,640
certainly don't want to forget any of

1189
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,480
them because it was because of them that

1190
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,119
we have the freedoms that we enjoy today

1191
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:49,920
so

1192
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,240
my final comment it would be for

1193
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:54,079

questions that anybody may have i

1200
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,670
mean

1201
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,680
since um our city administrator is not

1202
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,760
here i would like to address you

1203
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,040
personally

1204
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,760
about a major concern that i have

1205
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,200
that it's been happening for a while

1206
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,480
right now

1207
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:23,920
and

1208
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,280
you're probably guys wondering why i'm

1209
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,680
bringing this to a console me so all the

1210
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,720
console be aware and so we can be on the

1211
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:32,960
same page since we can't

1212
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,599
it's a quorum if we speak

1213
00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:38,560
individually or

1214
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,480
i think we have touched on the subject

1215
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,119
many times so far

1216
00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:45,440
since jim was hired

1217
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:46,640
we've had

1218
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,480
vision meeting we have iml um personnel

1219
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,040
that came here and did a presentation

1220
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,560
for us

1221
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:55,920
and um

1222
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,079
i'm very upset i'm very upset very

1223
00:44:58,079 --> 00:45:00,640
disappointed and very discomfort with

1224
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,160
the communication level that it's

1225
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,880
happening right now

1226
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,760
i think we have some of the best

1227
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,760
department heads

1228
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:10,880
we

1229
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,240
sat here many times over and over saying

1230
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:16,079
they are the professionals let them do

1231
00:45:16,079 --> 00:45:18,640
their job and they are the professionals

1232
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,640
i think they have proof

1233
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,480
all these years how professional how

1234
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,400
quick they work

1235
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,040
how quick they answer their phone calls

1236
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,000
and

1237
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,440
we are

1238
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,880
presenting the resident

1239
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,839
and we work for the resident so if i

1240
00:45:35,839 --> 00:45:38,319
call public work director he gets on

1241
00:45:38,319 --> 00:45:40,319
something right away i don't feel the

1242
00:45:40,319 --> 00:45:41,520
need

1243
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,440
that any department heads has to get

1244
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:44,960
permission to speak to an elected

1245
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,560
official it is my job and my duty as an

1246
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,160
elected official to represent the

1247
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,359
resident

1248
00:45:51,359 --> 00:45:53,760
and i think it's their job and duty as

1249
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:54,720
well

1250
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:58,160
to respond to the council

1251
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,950
and to do the job for the residents

1252
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,560
i mean i don't know if any of you are

1253
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,400
happy about this but i'm not comfortable

1254
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,319
with the situation i'm not comfortable

1255
00:46:08,319 --> 00:46:10,240
especially what happened today i don't

1256
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:13,040

that i have to

1261
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:20,560
keep

1262
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,800
pushing and searching and asking for

the elected official elected by the

1269

1399
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,800
lisa banovitz said that it would be

1400
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,559
possible to get

1401
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:30,400
regular updates on the status of the

1402
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:31,760
budget

1403
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,920
for the council's information i was

1404
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,480
wondering how we could get that

1405
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:37,440
to be

1406
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,520
you know if anyone else

1407
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,440
would be in favor of that just to get

1408
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,599
updates every few months on the budget

1409
00:51:43,599 --> 00:51:44,480
like

1410
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,040
revenues are compared to

1411
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,720
expenditures what

1412
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:50,559
we that was mentioned something about

1413
00:51:50,559 --> 00:51:51,680
quarterly

1414
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,839
i think she said she mentioned monthly or quarterly just

1415
00:51:55,839 --> 00:51:58,960
as as council's pleasure on timing of it

1416
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,119
i think and it would be your pleasure

1417
00:52:01,119 --> 00:52:02,640
with uh

1418
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,160
and and the request to get it on the

1419
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,670
agenda on a regular basis

1420
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,440
so what what is your what's your

1421
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,040
appetite you want to do in a quarter or

1422
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,359
on a quarterly or monthly exam

1423
00:52:13,359 --> 00:52:16,319
um well

1424
00:52:16,319 --> 00:52:18,400
monthly possible but if it's too much

1425
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,319
quarterly it would be fine i don't know

1426
00:52:20,319 --> 00:52:22,000
the rest of the council

1427
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,920
feels about it yeah i would like that

1428
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,480
one i would like that as well okay

1429
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,480
collect the quarterly though quarterly

1430
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:35,750
yeah

1431
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,800
sounds like the bulk is quarterly yep

1432
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,160
would be able to get one um

1433
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,720
say in august the first one

1434
00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:45,760
you should be able to get one at the end

1435
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,520
of june that's six months well the

1436
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,559
budget just got budget absolutely

1437
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:52,160
real quickly though yeah everybody has

1438
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,839
to realize that the only thing that i

1439
00:52:53,839 --> 00:52:55,839
would caution you on is that we have a

1440
00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:56,559
uh

1441
00:52:56,559 --> 00:52:59,680
just it's it's cyclic in in nature so

1442
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,839
there are uh like the cops they come

1443
00:53:01,839 --> 00:53:03,200
right out of the gates and they spend a

1444
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,240
bunch of money in it

1445
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:08,559
sister nature um and then we have

1446
00:53:08,559 --> 00:53:10,960
certain certain times that we we receive

1447
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,480
income uh like the uh

1448
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,480
the tax levy so that comes in

1449
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,000
twice a year so there's a lot of things

1450
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,079
that are ins and outs that come at

1451
00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:22,880
different times but um

1452
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,720
i'll talk with lisa on

1453
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:27,040
how best maybe to present that

1454
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,559
and whether she needs to be in

1455
00:53:28,559 --> 00:53:30,559
attendance or whether you like just uh

1456
00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:32,800
a reporting your in your council packet

1457
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,160
and her to report personally on a

1458
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,000
quarterly basis maybe that would be a

1459
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,680
good way to go and we just kind of throw

1460
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,680
out a couple of exceptions so like maybe

1461
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,839
we're flush on the income side because

1462
00:53:41,839 --> 00:53:44,480
of the release of the tax levy and we're

1463
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,559
or we're long on the expense side

1464
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:48,559
because these so we'll we'll try and

1465
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:49,839
float a couple things in and out of

1466
00:53:49,839 --> 00:53:52,079
there to give you a a true idea of where

1467
00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:53,280
we're at

1468
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,040
in income and expenses relative to

1469
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,760
when those who knows occur is that good

1470
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,240

00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,119
that was there prior to that is one pear

1522
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:03,119
