00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:43,930
Commissioner Dacquet. Move to approve the consent agenda. Thank you.

54
00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:52,190

56
00:04:52,530 --> 00:04:53,130

57
00:04:53,550 --> 00:04:54,030

Runner?

59
00:04:55,530 --> 00:04:55,890
Yes.

60
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:57,230
Hillary Kerr?

61
00:04:57,410 --> 00:04:58,050
Yes.

62
00:04:58,670 --> 00:04:59,170
Gerard?

63
00:05:00,020 --> 00:05:00,470
Yes.

64
00:05:01,190 --> 00:05:02,010
Ms. Magia?

65
00:05:02,490 --> 00:05:03,150
Yes.

66
00:05:03,850 --> 00:05:04,350
Clements?

67
00:05:04,890 --> 00:05:05,430
Yes.

68
00:05:06,190 --> 00:05:06,790
Morris.

69
00:05:07,650 --> 00:05:08,090
Yes.

70
00:05:08,990 --> 00:05:09,270
Yes.

71
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:15,420
Okay.

72
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,020
The next door business is presentations.

73
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:24,080
This evening we have a presentation regarding the 2021 drinking water revolving fund projects.

74
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:32,720
plan by Mr. Marty Jerse. If you give us one second, we're going to start sharing his slides.

75
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:35,570
Hey, and Marty.

76
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:37,710
Good evening, everybody.

77
00:05:39,290 --> 00:05:42,710
Hold on one second. I can barely hear you, Marty. Can you try again?

78
00:05:43,290 --> 00:05:43,570
How's this?

79
00:05:44,210 --> 00:05:45,430
There you go. Thank you.

80
00:05:45,890 --> 00:05:46,610
Yeah, no problem.

81
00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:49,810
Just let me know if I tend to fade out. I'll read just.

82
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:50,090
Yep.

83
00:05:50,090 --> 00:05:57,860
I hope everybody's doing well and change the difficult times what I bring

84
00:05:57,860 --> 00:06:04,060
before you tonight is a public hearing of a project planned for a 20-21

85
00:06:04,060 --> 00:06:09,160
resolving drinking water resolving fund roll of the codes that don't know it

86
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:11,620
go ahead and change the climate.

87
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:24,800
We change it. There we go. Thank you. So for those of you

88
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,940
I don't know what the drinking water is. It is a low-interest zone that was

89
00:06:31,940 --> 00:06:41,360
put forth by the cow eagle to help municipalities, water suppliers to meet their

90
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,400
requirements of the State Freaking Water Act.

91
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:45,980
Marty, you're saved now just a little bit.

92
00:06:46,340 --> 00:06:48,720
Yep, all right. There we go. Yep, much better.

93
00:06:48,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Okay. Thank you. This loan was put together in 1997 and then as provided over $1 billion

94
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:08,040
worth of loans, or several of them to us who also have a grand chain to it.

95
00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:19,870
Thank you. So part of the each requirement of the loan application is having a public

96
00:07:19,870 --> 00:07:27,490
during which this is. And in the requirements we have to buy the description of the water quality

97
00:07:27,490 --> 00:07:34,010
needs and alternatives for our system. The description of recommended alternatives with the cost,

98
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:39,430
discussion of project financing, and the description of social environment impacts.

99
00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:45,770
And we have put together a packet, submitted it to EGLE, which by the way I just

100
00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:51,310
to see the e-mail today from David Worthingson, praising how well it was put together.

101
00:07:52,130 --> 00:07:54,770
This quote was actually one of the best hit ever.

102
00:07:55,210 --> 00:08:00,190
So, my thank you to everybody involved in throwing that project plan together and getting

103
00:08:00,190 --> 00:08:00,750
it submitted.

104
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:02,590
Go ahead and change, please.

105
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:05,200
Okay.

106
00:08:05,340 --> 00:08:13,740
So, the project overview, construction would start in 2021, if we go ahead and move forward

107
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:18,120
this and the plan is to even further reduce the leg components in our water

108
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:24,200
system and to help us meet the Michigan dual leg hopper rules. By doing this we

109
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,960
would add on an additional 250 individual city and or public side service

110
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,740
time at various locations throughout the city. In addition to that we would add on

111
00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:40,720
another 500 hydro-estivations throughout the city to help us determine our

112
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,180
inventory and the play material of our unknown servicers and find out whether

113
00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:50,220
which they need to replace, or not, and change, please.

114
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:59,800
This is just an overview of some of the project sites, as you can see, we decided

115
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:08,060
this time around to do more individual streets. We are now trading on a lot of

116
00:09:08,060 --> 00:09:14,360
the super long services, such as Green Avenue, where the water main goes down the middle

117
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:20,060
of the Boulevard, and we have anywhere from 100 to 200 foot services on either side of

118
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:20,660
the Boulevard.

119
00:09:21,220 --> 00:09:26,740
I believe another one is Livingston Avenue there, which is in equation, where the services

120
00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:30,920
are very long, and various other locations throughout the city.

121
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:36,480
Like I said, we've tried to target this time around some of the very, very long services

122
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,320
which would provide an even higher risk of contamination

123
00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:45,240
other than the short drive service.

124
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:47,120
So in change.

125
00:09:50,010 --> 00:09:53,250
The estimated cost of this project is just over $2 million.

126
00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:57,910
And again, like I said, it includes 250 services

127
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:02,910
and 500 high-go estimations along with it.

128
00:10:03,650 --> 00:10:05,590
This was spread out over 20 years.

129
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:15,470
and after this, full rounds will probably have to look for other ways to come up with

130
00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:16,950
the sample in three days.

131
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:31,940
So the testing rate for our customers right now, range anywhere from 2180 for residential

132
00:10:31,940 --> 00:10:34,240
all the way up to 33 if they have a 1-inch meter.

133
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:38,780
The customer service charge goes by the five meter.

134
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:52,760
The water rate for usage is 393 for PDC, 148 gallons, and also our customers pay a monthly

135
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:10,120
The proposed change of charges, like I said, the monthly water charge by a meter will

136
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,000
remain unchanged.

137
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,840
The proposal has been caught or increased due to the challenge with zero.

138
00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:17,860
Monthly let it be.

139
00:11:17,940 --> 00:11:18,820
It's three of two dollars.

140
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:20,060
You'll remain unchanged.

141
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:23,620
And the $2 let it hurt.

142
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:24,760
That abatement.

143
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:28,260
And we're trying to create three hundred forty one thousand dollars.

144
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:28,780
Three years.

145
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:30,020
It's not the real coverage.

146
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:30,620
It's the principle.

147
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:31,680
And it's.

148
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,940
Our current work goes into the policy ordinance.

149
00:11:36,220 --> 00:11:39,320
Currently, the residential use is approximately seven.

150
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:46,880
CCS for months, which is up late to an average monthly water bill of 51 to 51 dollars.

151
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,060
The proposed project plan will not increase the average monthly water bill.

152
00:11:54,780 --> 00:12:01,740
Also, that does equate to approximately $1.68 per day for reliable drinking water.

153
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Go ahead.

154
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:19,380
As you can see throughout the time period, total savings of the life of loan would be just over $300,000.

155
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:30,720
Not to mention that there is a possibility with the work flow of up to 20% loan prohibition on that.

156
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:36,620
That won't be decided until the loan gets approved and everything like that.

157
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,240
And if that weren't for no, it would be interesting if there is any bill.

158
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,740
So the

159
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:50,350
social environment will impact a bit.

160
00:12:51,450 --> 00:12:52,970
Memo traffic impacts.

161
00:12:53,690 --> 00:13:00,350
Obviously, when we're going down the road, I think we tend to try to fix certain roads.

162
00:13:00,950 --> 00:13:08,470
There'll be something to be used when the construction company is on this road, environmental impact, very little.

163
00:13:09,410 --> 00:13:16,390
The forest water rate is increased due to this project, zero, temporary increases.

164
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:19,630
You're fading out just a little bit. There you go.

165
00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:22,610
All right, my hand keeps fading away from them.

166
00:13:23,210 --> 00:13:23,390
I'm sorry.

167
00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:26,770
Try not to touch the base thing, you know.

168
00:13:26,770 --> 00:13:32,850
Great. Okay, so zero rate increase due to this proposed pilot's project

169
00:13:32,850 --> 00:13:38,450
plans. Temporary increase in construction related jobs in Bay City, and

170
00:13:38,450 --> 00:13:42,710
obviously the next two are most important to us, the tech public health by

171
00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:46,550
removing that components from drinking water, and maintaining the consumer

172
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:50,290
confidence in operating our 18 water systems.

173
00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:00,720
I thought that was it, so I'll be

174
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,900
We have to go take any questions if there are any.

175
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:03,960
All right.

176
00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:04,880
Thanks.

177
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,200
All right.

178
00:14:06,460 --> 00:14:06,940
Thank you, Marty.

179
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:15,910
Mr. Dreyer.

180
00:14:17,050 --> 00:14:17,590
Yeah.

181
00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:19,950
Mr. Jewish quick question.

182
00:14:20,010 --> 00:14:22,610
I might have asked this before on that cost per replacement.

183
00:14:23,450 --> 00:14:26,830
It showed but estimate about $7,000 per.

184
00:14:27,510 --> 00:14:31,950
Is that is that a bid projected price or have we gotten bid yet?

185
00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:34,710
Or that's what they're been running?

186
00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:40,550
We have not gotten it right to get that projected right that includes restoration.

187
00:14:41,570 --> 00:14:43,370
Okay, that includes the restoration. All right.

188
00:14:44,910 --> 00:14:49,770
Okay, because I thought I seen the listing of other things, the restoration was on top of that.

189
00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:51,830
So that that's inclusive is what you're saying.

190
00:14:52,290 --> 00:14:52,410
Yeah.

191
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:55,250
Okay, thank you. That's all I have.

192
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:58,410
Thank you. Anybody else?

193
00:15:02,740 --> 00:15:08,300
All right, Marty, it looks like you're off the hook. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you, everybody. Be safe.

194
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:21,740
Next order of business calls for recess to discuss items on the informal agenda. Commissioner DACA. Are there any items? No, there are not. Thank you. Thank you.

195
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:36,110
Next order of business calls for public hearing. This is the opportunity for citizens to address the commission regarding the 2021 drinking water revolving fund project plan. Is there a motion to allow for public hearing number one?

196
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,520
Commissioner Girard.

197
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,280
Move to allow for public hearing number one.

198
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:45,500
Thank you.

199
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,700
If anyone wishes to address the commission regarding public hearing item number one,

200
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,300
please use the raise your hand feature.

201
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,200
Once called upon, please state your name and address for the record.

202
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,360
And under the rules of the city commission, every speaker will be allowed to speak for no more than five minutes.

203
00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:02,820
Alex.

204
00:16:08,340 --> 00:16:12,180
I'm glad that they're going to start working on full straights at a time instead of just

205
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:19,320
splotching throughout neighborhoods and leaving the gravel caps on the replacement lines because that was

206
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,600
something that I know a lot of people weren't really fond of previously with the lab replacement lines.

207
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:31,460
I didn't see it in the packet when I looked through but I might have just overlooked it for the rebate,

208
00:16:31,460 --> 00:16:38,700
20% rebate that was mentioned, if those details could be outlined into how the city actually

209
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:42,160
would qualify for that, just so we could see it, that'd be great.

210
00:16:43,620 --> 00:16:45,840
That's all I have for that, and other questions were answered.

211
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:46,420
So thank you.

212
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:49,840
Thank you.

213
00:16:50,420 --> 00:16:52,540
Anybody else for public hearing number one?

214
00:17:00,270 --> 00:17:02,650
Seeing none, the next sort of business calls for public input.

215
00:17:02,890 --> 00:17:06,950
This is the opportunity for citizens to address the commission regarding any item remaining

216
00:17:06,950 --> 00:17:08,630
on the agenda or any other matter.

217
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:10,410
is there a motion to allow for public input?

218
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,520
Commissioner Dacquet?

219
00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:16,260
We'll give you a law for public input.

220
00:17:16,860 --> 00:17:17,420
Thank you.

221
00:17:19,540 --> 00:17:23,400
If anyone wishes to address the commission, please use the raise your hand feature.

222
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,900
Once called upon, please state your name and address for the record.

223
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:30,240
Under the rules of the city commission, every speaker will be allowed to speak for no more than five minutes.

224
00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:38,860
I know a big shocker.

225
00:17:39,780 --> 00:17:41,160
Alex Ditchman and South theory.

226
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:46,760
As for the resolution, I can only pull it off to make sure everyone's on the record

227
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,100
for their position on the security of the vote.

228
00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:53,340
I'm not there to make a policy yell or anything for this.

229
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,680
I just want this on the record

230
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,720
for that big of a balance security for the city.

231
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:04,520
I know I was able to contact Tim in public works

232
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,660
for the brush pickup because originally,

233
00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:08,080
I remember seeing that they were going to do that

234
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,240
over a couple of days in the first of May

235
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,420
and well, I'm not that far from the south side

236
00:18:13,420 --> 00:18:16,120
of the south end of the west side of the city limits

237
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:24,160
and my crush wasn't picked up yet, but I got a nice response from them about how it could take

238
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,760
a couple of weeks to complete. And also I am making another plea is we're only one meeting away

239
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:37,620
from the initial budget location or budget notification that I since it is a taxpayer budget, I am looking

240
00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:42,920
for oversight for taxpayers again. So that's all I have for today. So thank you everyone.

241
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:45,340
Thank you.

242
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:48,920
Anybody else wishing to speak?

243
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:53,420
All right.

244
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,060
Staying none.

245
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,700
We're back in the regular order of business.

246
00:18:57,140 --> 00:18:59,660
So the next item on the agenda is resolution number one.

247
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,720
Commission has a whole resolution regarding the loan application to the state of Michigan,

248
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:13,340
Department of Environmental Quality, Drinking Water Revolving Fund for capital improvements to the water distribution system owned and operated by the city of a city recommendation approved.

249
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:13,400
Thank you.

250
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:15,340
Is there a motion?

251
00:19:24,420 --> 00:19:25,120
Commissioner Brunner.

252
00:19:25,820 --> 00:19:26,580
Move to approve.

253
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:28,860
Thank you. Is there any discussion?

254
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:36,100
Commissioner Brunner, do you also have discussion?

255
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:42,530
I do not.

256
00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:43,690
Okay, thank you.

257
00:19:48,340 --> 00:19:50,180
I'll call the roll on the motion to approve.

258
00:19:50,740 --> 00:19:51,300
Commissioner Rivera?

259
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,520
Yes.

260
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:53,720
Brunner?

261
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,200
Yes.

262
00:19:58,840 --> 00:19:59,460
Thank you.

263
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,040
Hello, Clerk.

264
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,620
Can you repeat that for me, Commissioner Rehlecker?

265
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:05,520
Yes.

266
00:20:06,020 --> 00:20:06,480
Thank you.

267
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,220
Gerard?

268
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,280
Yes.

269
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:08,420
Yes.

270
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:09,600
Ms. Magiun.

271
00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:10,520
Yes.

272
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:11,840
Clements.

273
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:12,800
Yes.

274
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,100
Fourth.

275
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,760
Yes.

276
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:16,900
In Docket.

277
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:17,660
Yes.

278
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:18,820
Eight yes.

279
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:20,460
Okay.

280
00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:23,900
Okay.

281
00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:25,960
The next item is resolution number three.

282
00:20:26,420 --> 00:20:29,220
Commission has a whole resolution regarding the refunding bonds.

283
00:20:30,340 --> 00:20:31,460
Is there a motion?

284
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,080
Commissioner Docket.

285
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,320
Move to approve.

286
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:39,920
Thank you.

287
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:40,660
Any discussion?

288
00:20:45,610 --> 00:20:46,250
Commissioner Gerard.

289
00:20:47,230 --> 00:20:53,090
Yes, through the chair. Could you just do a brief overview of what is actually

290
00:20:53,090 --> 00:20:58,050
transacting with this? All right, so let me see.

291
00:21:02,290 --> 00:21:05,510
See, are you there? Yes, I am. Here we go.

292
00:21:07,710 --> 00:21:16,950
Okay, so just a brief overview. So the city commission had previously approved up to 23 million

293
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:25,470
dollars in debt for the Uptown project. So we had the issuance of the bonds and at the lowest

294
00:21:25,470 --> 00:21:31,030
cost financing, the City Commission had to pledge their full faith and credit for the payment of

295
00:21:31,030 --> 00:21:43,550
the bonds. So in 2013, the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority issued a $9.2 million bond and then they

296
00:21:43,550 --> 00:21:46,810
did an additional $7, little over $7,000,000 in

297
00:21:49,010 --> 00:21:57,670
2014. So there was some binding authorities still left out there and so we needed to do

298
00:21:57,670 --> 00:22:05,850
another issuance, which the Brown Food Authority did in April 16. It has two resolutions.

299
00:22:06,190 --> 00:22:11,930
The first one was to authorize the issuance of an additional $6.7 million for the development

300
00:22:11,930 --> 00:22:21,610
a phase two and that was the remaining 23 that was already approved back in 2013 or somewhere in

301
00:22:21,610 --> 00:22:29,950
that area. So this was just using up the additional space that we had to approve the additional

302
00:22:29,950 --> 00:22:36,010
funding of those bonds. And then the second resolution that the Brownfield Authority approved was an

303
00:22:36,010 --> 00:22:47,310
$18 million bond, which it would advance the refund of original $9.2 in the $7 million bond debt.

304
00:22:48,370 --> 00:22:55,210
So all in all, we are just going up to our binding capacity that was already approved

305
00:22:55,210 --> 00:22:59,330
and which the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority approved as well.

306
00:23:00,770 --> 00:23:04,610
So the part that, so why are we refunding because we're

307
00:23:06,890 --> 00:23:11,350
So I think George, if George is on the line we can get him to comment on the

308
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:15,570
refund of it. And I know he is, I saw he was on the attendees list, TJ.

309
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:25,860
Yeah, he should be available now. Okay, George.

310
00:23:41,050 --> 00:23:41,490
George.

311
00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:44,470
Yes, I am.

312
00:23:44,770 --> 00:23:48,450
Yes, did you hear the question, George, about the refunding?

313
00:23:48,450 --> 00:23:49,970
Yes.

314
00:23:52,410 --> 00:24:01,350
Basically, the rates have come down significantly. And even though the new bonds,

315
00:24:01,690 --> 00:24:08,070
at least the refunding bonds, would be considered taxable, there is still very, very significant

316
00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:15,690
savings compared to the original issuance. We're looking at over $2.3 million decrease in

317
00:24:15,690 --> 00:24:27,850
debt service for the 2013 bond, and then an additional $409,000 in debt service reductions

318
00:24:28,290 --> 00:24:37,550
for the 2014 bond. So all in all, we would be saving somewhere around $2.6 million in

319
00:24:37,550 --> 00:24:41,730
that service between now and 2043.

320
00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:47,950
All right, so ultimately we're sailing money by doing this right now.

321
00:24:49,130 --> 00:24:54,370
Very significant dollars. Yes. Okay. That's why I need to know. Thank you very much.

322
00:24:55,250 --> 00:24:56,590
Okay. You're welcome.

323
00:25:01,010 --> 00:25:04,630
Is that all commissioner? Yep. I'm all set. Thank you. Okay. Thank you.

324
00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:10,230
I believe commissioner docket. I'm all set. Actually. Thank you. All right.

325
00:25:12,450 --> 00:25:13,810
Okay, any other discussion?

326
00:25:17,630 --> 00:25:19,270
Okay, seeing none, I'm going to call the motion,

327
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:21,330
or the role on the motion to approve.

328
00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:22,930
Commissioner Brunner?

329
00:25:23,610 --> 00:25:23,990
Yes.

330
00:25:24,730 --> 00:25:25,450
Hiliker?

331
00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:26,590
Yes.

332
00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:27,610
Gerard?

333
00:25:28,490 --> 00:25:28,910
Yes.

334
00:25:29,530 --> 00:25:30,050
Ms. Magin?

335
00:25:30,830 --> 00:25:31,190
Yes.

336
00:25:31,870 --> 00:25:32,230
Clements?

337
00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:33,210
Yes.

338
00:25:33,810 --> 00:25:34,610
Of course.

339
00:25:35,370 --> 00:25:35,750
Yes.

340
00:25:36,590 --> 00:25:36,830
Okay.

341
00:25:37,330 --> 00:25:37,630
Yes.

342
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:38,730
Perfect.

343
00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:39,670
Yes.

344
00:25:40,690 --> 00:25:41,050
Yes.

345
00:25:41,690 --> 00:25:42,430
So that is approved.

346
00:25:42,430 --> 00:25:47,470
that completes all items on tonight's agenda, so we are adjourned.
