1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:08,050
On John Maxi, Vice Chair of the Call of Time, you told him board, and I will call this August 26th meeting of the board to order.

2
00:00:09,890 --> 00:00:15,110
The first item of business is to review our minutes of the last meeting.

3
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:23,400
First, to accept minutes as a minute.

4
00:00:26,430 --> 00:00:27,630
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

5
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:32,370
I was, I was, I was myself to find my white penitentiance.

6
00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:33,270
Yeah, I was in now.

7
00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:39,300
That's a tight question.

8
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:46,160
So there's a 5-0 on page to like us, minutes, this is messy.

9
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,420
I'll take the lecture.

10
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:51,320
I'll just put that.

11
00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:53,500
We have a motion to approve the minutes.

12
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:53,980
And second.

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:54,720
One of them.

14
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:55,600
With that correction.

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:57,760
All in favor.

16
00:00:59,020 --> 00:00:59,200
Hi.

17
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:00,960
Thank you.

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,500
Next we have public comments.

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,760
And we have Christine Weimer from the Jefferson County Foundation.

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:32,700
I want to talk about school warming, so the school we're meeting on Monday of this week.

21
00:01:33,140 --> 00:01:36,180
I don't know if anyone watched it. I encourage you to watch the evening.

22
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:46,500
It was clear to us that the presentation that was previously given to the board was misinterpreted.

23
00:01:46,500 --> 00:02:15,140
It seems to us, and this will work the least if they have a choice between American water and sea pump, and they seem to think that the letter was then choosing the sea tub and so now two of them are advocating for them to invite American water to give a presentation, and so that American water can explain to them what American water can offer them.

24
00:02:15,140 --> 00:02:21,140
There are concerns that CTO will not be able to provide the service to the nearer,

25
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,900
to the reversing to have been told this by after people sort of listen to us.

26
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:35,240
He had the team to name that American water can service this full faster than CTO can.

27
00:02:35,460 --> 00:02:43,620
It is our sending and CTO has a stand within two miles of that school of South Jefferson.

28
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:51,140
So it's understanding that C-tub is supposed to suit utility and therefore it is firmly within C-tub's own service area.

29
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:59,840
However, other board members of the school board believe that it's possible when they've been told that American water is in fact closer

30
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,580
and that they are there for dinner, that is their work in American waters service area.

31
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:20,020
I think that a, maybe, a more communication with the Board of Education and explaining to them in a very well-thought-out, well-planned presentation,

32
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:30,240
or maybe even a group, you know, a joint meeting to explain the support that school is within the service area,

33
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:38,780
and that C-tose is willing to able and happy to serve that school, and that is what should happen.

34
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:44,340
And that is not in any way connected to them, but through van data centers.

35
00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:53,120
It seems to be strong in this conception of the word that they were being asked to support data centers.

36
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,740
when we were being asked to,

37
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,120
when we met, it was explained to them that,

38
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,380
you know, C-tub was totally going to go by there

39
00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:02,660
and couldn't go by that school,

40
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:05,860
they took that to me that they were somehow

41
00:04:05,860 --> 00:04:08,300
being asked to support data centers.

42
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:14,360
And the misconception is clear in the meeting on Monday,

43
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,540
we're very concerning to us.

44
00:04:16,820 --> 00:04:21,220
So we heard C-tub to again reach out to the Board of Education,

45
00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:27,060
And maybe the Vice-Charm in Maxi could get a presentation

46
00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:31,160
or a board member who wishes to go whether it be in the right meeting.

47
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:31,680
Something.

48
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,900
This is going the wrong way.

49
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,120
We are very concerned that children deserve

50
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,460
to be granted honor.

51
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:42,000
This whole system deserves a little respect they can get.

52
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,080
And children deserve groundwater for generations to come

53
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,300
and wait to do that to work with CTO.

54
00:04:48,820 --> 00:04:50,220
They also deserve information.

55
00:04:50,220 --> 00:04:55,500
about the one that they're getting, and again, that is what's the urge you to work with this

56
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:59,780
reward that's going to them, and see each other every Saturday afternoon and each.

57
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:12,940
Thank you. Thank you. We also have e-mail comment from Ashley Stottelmeyer. I assume that will be placed in the record.

58
00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:25,550
We will move on to unfinished business. We have several three actual items for executive session.

59
00:05:25,550 --> 00:05:29,890
And I would wonder if the board would consider moving those to the bottom of the agenda.

60
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:34,450
The version that we move into the end of the meeting.

61
00:05:35,330 --> 00:05:36,090
All in favor?

62
00:05:37,090 --> 00:05:37,670
Thank you so much.

63
00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:45,830
And while we're waiting on that question for our attorney, I noted that we have three different

64
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:51,530
citations of question you code for the three different moves to executive session.

65
00:05:51,530 --> 00:05:59,730
The third one is not on that I've seen before, so I was wondering if that was correct or maybe a type of.

66
00:05:59,730 --> 00:06:04,030
That's for a question, because it's 698, 418.

67
00:06:06,490 --> 00:06:07,210
Yeah.

68
00:06:08,210 --> 00:06:08,930
Yes.

69
00:06:08,930 --> 00:06:09,850
That's correct.

70
00:06:10,510 --> 00:06:10,710
Okay.

71
00:06:11,550 --> 00:06:12,610
Thank you so much.

72
00:06:12,970 --> 00:06:17,170
Then we will move on to item C about the business.

73
00:06:17,170 --> 00:06:20,030
this, the summit point regional corridor initiative.

74
00:06:21,730 --> 00:06:29,450
Yeah, so we had a very productive 5G interview with Patesta on August 13th, a really good

75
00:06:29,450 --> 00:06:36,290
conversation, a very productive, you know, that they started with a presentation and that

76
00:06:36,290 --> 00:06:41,070
quickly turned into more of a conversation and but still very productive.

77
00:06:41,070 --> 00:06:43,750
We covered a lot of ground.

78
00:06:46,510 --> 00:06:55,210
Discussed all the different moving parts involved in bringing utility services out to some

79
00:06:55,210 --> 00:06:56,150
of point.

80
00:06:57,330 --> 00:07:05,010
And of course, south Jefferson Elementary being a focus of C-tups and, you know, obviously

81
00:07:05,010 --> 00:07:13,030
our desire to also provide them services either along the way or in the process of also providing

82
00:07:13,030 --> 00:07:26,370
utility services to some point. And just as to give a quick summary, this is kind of a summary

83
00:07:26,370 --> 00:07:32,390
of what we discussed at this phase, not necessarily in as orderly

84
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:37,350
a fashion, but all of these various topics we're discussed at 1.0 or

85
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:42,850
another, and so I, you know, just to give the members of the board that

86
00:07:42,850 --> 00:07:47,310
weren't here, an idea of, you know, how the conversation went, it went very

87
00:07:47,310 --> 00:07:55,210
well, and we, the panel convened immediately after and made the decision to

88
00:07:55,210 --> 00:08:00,970
I recommend moving forward with Patessa and beginning contract negotiations.

89
00:08:03,490 --> 00:08:05,550
Motion of the board to that effect?

90
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:06,070
Correct.

91
00:08:07,170 --> 00:08:13,190
Motion by myself to accept Patessa as the owner engineered for the projects that

92
00:08:13,190 --> 00:08:15,210
we present them at a 5G meter.

93
00:08:15,470 --> 00:08:16,870
And do you have a second?

94
00:08:17,810 --> 00:08:18,150
Well second.

95
00:08:19,410 --> 00:08:23,810
Then as a part of the discussion and related to some of the public comment,

96
00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:32,710
I'll point out that the board very specifically requested that the test of designing the preliminary

97
00:08:32,710 --> 00:08:39,230
engineering report in modules, independent of each other, including bringing water in wastewater

98
00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:43,930
service to the South Jefferson School as early as next year.

99
00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:50,950
General Manager has spoken to West Virginia D.E.P. and believes we are eligible for $4 million

100
00:08:50,950 --> 00:08:58,290
grant for running fresh water from the central plant down to the school and that

101
00:08:58,290 --> 00:09:01,830
doubt will be considered as part of the preliminary engineering report from

102
00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:08,610
Patesta specific to providing services to the elementary school. So that is of

103
00:09:08,610 --> 00:09:13,210
course independent of any of the other corridor initiatives and

104
00:09:13,210 --> 00:09:15,570
and we need to frame it that way.

105
00:09:17,530 --> 00:09:19,950
And again, in reference to the public comment,

106
00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:25,230
I regret that there was a misconception there,

107
00:09:27,210 --> 00:09:30,090
but the presentation I gave was very detailed

108
00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:36,570
and was explicit that one that C-tub is interested

109
00:09:36,570 --> 00:09:38,210
in providing services to them.

110
00:09:39,090 --> 00:09:51,630
And then the process, we would be following moving forward, which includes access, access to grants, and bringing water and waste water services.

111
00:09:51,630 --> 00:09:58,790
to use it, the grant funding would be available in 2027 or so.

112
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:09,420
For those to move back quickly. Correct. Great. That's great. With the board, consider allowing me to, as Vice Chair, reach out to the school board to that fact.

113
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,200
One thing we should follow with Paul. He's back with him the first time. I think that's it.

114
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Thank you.

115
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:16,540
Okay.

116
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:20,040
How if we can certainly get on support?

117
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:24,320
Well, we have a motion to be seconded on the table.

118
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:31,000
So all in favor, I'm sorry, I'm going to do an analyst decision to go with the test done.

119
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:42,520
And then as a side, if you would reach out to the school board to clarify that we intend to file a preliminary engineering report to IGTC,

120
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:50,360
intend to apply for the $4 million emerging contaminants grant through TBP.

121
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:55,260
And we intend to be able to provide service to the school late 2027.

122
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:55,980
Absolutely.

123
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,340
I will do that in detail.

124
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,900
Let's move on then to

125
00:11:07,010 --> 00:11:09,810
item two of the seats.

126
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:14,410
It's two August 27 meeting with the West Virginia Department of Commerce.

127
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:15,230
That's tomorrow.

128
00:11:15,950 --> 00:11:16,470
Yes.

129
00:11:16,750 --> 00:11:17,850
Excited about that.

130
00:11:17,850 --> 00:11:23,330
It's, I will be attending, so we'll represent it as some rise to development, particularly

131
00:11:23,330 --> 00:11:24,250
with Kenny Bodai.

132
00:11:24,890 --> 00:11:32,870
He provided a presentation, not long ago, delegate clerk will be there, delegate funcows

133
00:11:33,490 --> 00:11:40,050
or commissioner mood, along with director Morris from the data economy office of the department

134
00:11:40,050 --> 00:11:48,830
the commerce, and will be discussing the preliminary plans for the data center out at some

135
00:11:48,830 --> 00:11:58,190
point, including their proposed location and size, capacity, usage requirements, and I'll

136
00:11:58,190 --> 00:12:00,850
be providing, they'll be bringing the wrong presentation.

137
00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:05,130
I'll be providing some supplementary information,

138
00:12:07,210 --> 00:12:10,030
and yeah, very much looking forward to

139
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:16,730
that I did take a quick pre-trip out there with Ryan Stewart

140
00:12:16,730 --> 00:12:19,350
development, just to kind of do a preliminary walkthrough

141
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:21,910
of what that presentation would look like and understand

142
00:12:22,380 --> 00:12:24,730
a little bit more about it before we got out there.

143
00:12:24,990 --> 00:12:25,750
Beautiful property,

144
00:12:28,430 --> 00:12:33,150
what the plan is, it's a 235 acre property.

145
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:35,570
The footprint of the data center is going

146
00:12:35,570 --> 00:12:37,490
to be roughly four of those acres.

147
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:43,550
and will be positioned almost underneath the transmission line

148
00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:45,790
they are passing through the property currently.

149
00:12:47,650 --> 00:12:53,850
And so there's, you know, to me it's in terms of environmental impact

150
00:12:53,850 --> 00:12:58,530
or it's looking mostly minimal.

151
00:13:00,070 --> 00:13:03,430
You did, and of course, after the meeting,

152
00:13:03,790 --> 00:13:06,950
and at our following regular meeting, I'll provide a full update

153
00:13:06,950 --> 00:13:09,130
on how the visit went and next steps.

154
00:13:09,490 --> 00:13:09,690
That's great.

155
00:13:09,950 --> 00:13:13,690
I do understand that there are not disclosure of these

156
00:13:13,690 --> 00:13:16,330
not the things that come out in line and schools,

157
00:13:16,890 --> 00:13:18,890
but between lines to various other state buildings.

158
00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:23,050
So I know there's information that we may not

159
00:13:23,050 --> 00:13:24,530
be aware of being able to disclose,

160
00:13:25,330 --> 00:13:27,050
but I appreciate the public sort of

161
00:13:27,050 --> 00:13:28,610
and appreciate the amount of food you've learned.

162
00:13:29,270 --> 00:13:31,710
That's for public use.

163
00:13:31,830 --> 00:13:34,670
The developer of the project is Ryan Stewart-Devilman.

164
00:13:34,670 --> 00:13:38,070
They are experienced at Data Center Development.

165
00:13:39,050 --> 00:13:44,970
They have stated four acres of the 200 acres of parcels

166
00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:47,390
would be used for this particular project.

167
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:54,850
You also asked about the possibility of using the remaining farmland.

168
00:13:55,070 --> 00:14:02,790
That was a recommendation I've heard from quite a few people, including Dr. Wimer that

169
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:11,310
The disappearance of farmland is a particular concern for Jefferson County and the local community.

170
00:14:12,050 --> 00:14:17,910
And I mentioned, you know, if they're going to have just a four acre footprint, then there's a lot of relief.

171
00:14:18,410 --> 00:14:26,310
And that they should consider leasing or subdividing the remaining piece of the property for continued farm use.

172
00:14:26,630 --> 00:14:28,730
And they said they would look into that.

173
00:14:28,730 --> 00:14:35,750
Just to find out, like to judge whether or not the board needs to take any action on this agenda item,

174
00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:41,610
do you plan any sort of agreement or action at tomorrow's e-commerce administration?

175
00:14:42,350 --> 00:14:48,070
This is strictly informational. The end goal for Ryan Sird Development Institute is to become certified,

176
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:54,810
state certified as a high-impact data center.

177
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:59,710
And once that certification happens, then.

178
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:08,700
You know, they become much more viable both in the eyes of the state, but also with end users.

179
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:21,080
So if that were to occur, you know, the likelihood of a data center actually being developed on that property increase significantly.

180
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:27,320
But once again, that's a contingent of supply and supply and supply and supply and waste water service to the South China.

181
00:15:28,180 --> 00:15:28,740
Correct.

182
00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:31,840
yes, I think that's completely independent,

183
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,620
but an independent goal of ours, that's what I've been, that's the direction I've been given by the board.

184
00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:45,600
And if we can make the two happen in concert, then that's preferable.

185
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,260
It's a more economical and a better project for the county.

186
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,680
We can combine things with multiple places.

187
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,260
Correct.

188
00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:58,000
And then of course, HP 2014 would require the data center

189
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,900
developer to fund all of the regional infrastructure

190
00:16:01,620 --> 00:16:03,100
out to the site.

191
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,240
And we've talked about South Jefferson Elementary

192
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,460
and some of the point, Motorsports Park.

193
00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:12,160
And they're rallying value and importance

194
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,120
and importance to Jefferson County.

195
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:21,260
and they've seen more than enthusiastic about the opportunity to also bring them utility

196
00:16:21,260 --> 00:16:21,940
services.

197
00:16:22,540 --> 00:16:25,980
Are they also meeting with the American Motor or I guess we would have to be pretty

198
00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:26,580
to that?

199
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:33,500
Um, you know, I've had some very frank open conversations with Kenny Bodai at Ryan's

200
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:33,980
for development.

201
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,580
He has not mentioned anything like that.

202
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:45,300
The amount and, of course, depends on the way they would design and cool their facility.

203
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:59,090
It's likely, though, that because West Virginia American Waters is largely groundwater and just the amount of water they need on a daily basis.

204
00:16:59,170 --> 00:17:04,350
I mean, we're talking over 100 million, sorry, 500,000 gallons a day.

205
00:17:06,330 --> 00:17:13,010
That it's likely they don't have the capacity to provide services, but that's an assumption.

206
00:17:14,590 --> 00:17:15,430
More questions?

207
00:17:17,190 --> 00:17:22,390
There are a lot of other questions you'd have to come back to the next meeting after we hear what happens tomorrow, right?

208
00:17:22,810 --> 00:17:22,990
Thank you.

209
00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:24,110
I think it's a question somehow.

210
00:17:24,330 --> 00:17:25,010
I don't know anything about it.

211
00:17:26,110 --> 00:17:28,670
I think I can provide an update soon of that.

212
00:17:28,990 --> 00:17:30,250
Well, that's up to you if you will send email.

213
00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:36,230
Yeah, I do have about one more additional question that is early on.

214
00:17:36,370 --> 00:17:40,930
Right, Stewart had expressed an interest in me with him treated waste water for cooling.

215
00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:42,910
Is that still the substance compensation?

216
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:50,490
Yes, Kenny Boda, I actually mentioned that the most recent end-user they had conversations with said that they prefer

217
00:17:50,490 --> 00:17:53,230
Reclaimed water for use in cooling.

218
00:17:53,770 --> 00:17:57,930
So that kind of moves a lot of what's really water out, they look down at the bottom.

219
00:17:58,090 --> 00:18:01,270
At least for that particular end user, yes.

220
00:18:02,030 --> 00:18:02,230
Thank you.

221
00:18:04,130 --> 00:18:07,490
So you don't need any action for the board for tomorrow's week?

222
00:18:07,810 --> 00:18:13,010
No, but I'd say board member gives me this inquiry.

223
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:18,690
And I will provide a full update on how the meeting goes to the board.

224
00:18:18,970 --> 00:18:19,490
The email.

225
00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:22,810
And then again, at our next point.

226
00:18:24,610 --> 00:18:31,590
I really appreciate, as a member of the board, your efforts to present an infrastructure

227
00:18:31,590 --> 00:18:39,250
development in a coordinated way, but this initiative is not strictly for a single project

228
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:44,810
for medical three, some of the point-most reports, the possible data center, and the school.

229
00:18:45,410 --> 00:18:49,670
I think that doing things in that way benefits the public personally, so I appreciate that

230
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:50,450
that's the way we're going.

231
00:18:51,290 --> 00:18:59,050
Yeah, I think it's a huge opportunity for CTOB and our customers.

232
00:18:59,630 --> 00:19:02,890
We basically presented the test of that away, that which we needed.

233
00:19:03,370 --> 00:19:05,950
So again, it's pretty clear that's what we're looking forward to.

234
00:19:06,910 --> 00:19:08,410
Well, I mean, I disagree.

235
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:13,930
This is what we presented to, we asked for these four alternatives to the evaluated.

236
00:19:13,930 --> 00:19:20,030
But three at the top of the three, you just follow his men at the top. He did John this mention.

237
00:19:22,060 --> 00:19:27,160
Ten of the men is building the way to, and now we want each to be independent.

238
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:37,600
In fact, they're required to, but we've mentioned the state grant source for the school requires that that be kept completely independent.

239
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Correct.

240
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,340
And touching back on that, it's a be eligible for that emerging contaminant funding.

241
00:19:45,980 --> 00:19:51,000
The conversation we had with Protesters was that one of the very early phases of preliminary

242
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,940
engineering would be creating essentially what is a mini-PER that forward water and wastewater

243
00:19:57,940 --> 00:19:58,480
services.

244
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:58,860
Thank you.

245
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:16,180
Only two south Jefferson, so that that could be appended to, well, since IJDC, IJDC, IJDC, first for grant approval, and then included in ADP grant application for emerging contaminants.

246
00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:25,320
That's kind of a good segue into item C3, presentation to Jefferson County Board of Education, and Professor Letters.

247
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,240
Yeah, we have a letter of support.

248
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:29,980
We do, it just came today.

249
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,400
As Dr. Warmer alluded to in public comment,

250
00:20:36,540 --> 00:20:39,700
it didn't go to the smoothest, but it went.

251
00:20:41,780 --> 00:20:46,420
So, and then they did, they didn't want to,

252
00:20:46,940 --> 00:20:48,080
and reasonably so,

253
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,320
go outside the guardrails of what should benefit

254
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,820
a public agency, like the Board of Education, and Jeff's kind of public schools.

255
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,760
So they do encourage and support CTOB bringing them services,

256
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,800
but the idea that those services

257
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:17,140
could be funded by the possibility of data center development, they did not want to get involved

258
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:17,900
with.

259
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,760
And that's understandable.

260
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:25,000
So they awarded their letter of support as such.

261
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:25,860
That's fine.

262
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,880
Would you consider with approval of the board,

263
00:21:31,060 --> 00:21:32,800
reaching out to the school board,

264
00:21:33,020 --> 00:21:35,980
and letting them know how far along we are

265
00:21:35,980 --> 00:21:39,840
with the immersion contaminants fund source,

266
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:46,020
the NEPGAR and our plans to provide service late next year?

267
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:46,700
Yes.

268
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:50,360
Your earlier motion, asking me to give them an update.

269
00:21:50,620 --> 00:22:10,940
That was one of the first things that came to my mind was outlining exactly where we are in the grant application process and where we are with Fatesta and giving them an estimated timeline of the process from when we receive that many PAR to how the grant application would progress and then ultimately to a full design and construction.

270
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:18,980
I should not have brought that issue up under item C, I, if you want.

271
00:22:19,540 --> 00:22:20,780
I should have waited to this one.

272
00:22:21,180 --> 00:22:23,780
So I was to clarify a few minutes for next meeting.

273
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,900
But somebody would be willing to reaffirm that motion so we can get on

274
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:28,190
Threadward.

275
00:22:30,730 --> 00:22:33,950
This would be moving the general manager,

276
00:22:34,130 --> 00:22:37,430
Reach out to the school board to clarify the funding source

277
00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:40,110
and independence of this project and the timeline.

278
00:22:53,900 --> 00:23:06,200
We will drop down into IMD consideration of policy protecting homeowners by mandatory connection to do the extended water and wastewater infrastructure.

279
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:13,720
I think we're still waiting for action from the City Council on that. I think I believe

280
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:21,940
they're brought, they assign that to their charter advisory committee and waiting to get

281
00:23:21,940 --> 00:23:30,980
a response from them on that. On where that. But they seem receptive to anything.

282
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,560
I'm making most of the tables this item until we get to the next.

283
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:35,940
Thank you Mr. Chair for the question.

284
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,200
Thank you very much.

285
00:23:37,540 --> 00:23:41,360
All in favor of table in motion or table in the head.

286
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,320
Thank you.

287
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:46,640
We'll move on to item E.

288
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,260
Water is to an alternate mainline evaluation agreement

289
00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:52,040
or an office dean manner.

290
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,600
So this just happened recently.

291
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,740
Our consulting engineer Edwin Dobbs and Chris Edinburgh reached out.

292
00:24:02,740 --> 00:24:11,080
We had performed the analysis, the board, requests before any AMGA as broad, where there's

293
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,180
just kind of a preliminary engineering review of the supported water and wastewater infrastructure.

294
00:24:17,420 --> 00:24:26,640
And Chris Seconder did notice that the Huntsfield pump station might be over capacity and

295
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:34,720
and our engineering tech Travis are continuing to work on that so if the board is a

296
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:40,080
favor we would like to also table this and tell our next meeting at which point we

297
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,040
should have a full review and a better recommendation to provide.

298
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,600
I'm making a motion we table as submitted.

299
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,040
Thank you.

300
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,000
There's a discussion, all in favour?

301
00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:55,580
Motion's table to the next week.

302
00:24:56,540 --> 00:24:57,160
Next.

303
00:24:57,900 --> 00:24:58,620
Item F.

304
00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,960
We'll just go on.

305
00:25:03,420 --> 00:25:25,800
We find we got this one done. It took a while, but we met again, a delicate clerk, myself, and the work of Stil H.O.A., to discuss the water quality of the ponds. If the border calls earlier on this year, think about it maybe a month or two ago.

306
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:37,500
The H.O.A. Bolt at the idea of a joint treatment program, we took another run at it and

307
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:44,180
addressed some of their concerns at another virtual meeting, and ultimately they did agree

308
00:25:44,180 --> 00:25:50,980
to a pilot program that began last Monday and will extend through into November.

309
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:59,780
And it's pilot program, we would just like to try these ultra-clear bacteriological treatment

310
00:25:59,780 --> 00:26:06,980
products and see what kind of water quality results we see and then following the end

311
00:26:06,980 --> 00:26:12,180
of the pilot program reevaluate and decide whether this is something we'd like to cooperate

312
00:26:12,180 --> 00:26:15,300
and collaborate on annually moving forward.

313
00:26:19,010 --> 00:26:21,690
It's six out of the books for three months.

314
00:26:23,030 --> 00:26:24,970
And that's divided by three as a minimum.

315
00:26:25,230 --> 00:26:27,030
It is, yes it is.

316
00:26:28,530 --> 00:26:29,130
So that's possible.

317
00:26:30,670 --> 00:26:34,130
It's seemingly continued for at least what eight thousand

318
00:26:34,130 --> 00:26:36,410
every year would you.

319
00:26:39,870 --> 00:26:42,590
Because the fund has had no treatment,

320
00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:46,150
we had to essentially

321
00:26:46,150 --> 00:26:49,790
We chalk it with quite a bit of product,

322
00:26:51,890 --> 00:26:54,810
but your $8,000 estimate is reasonable for a

323
00:26:54,810 --> 00:26:55,430
full year.

324
00:26:55,750 --> 00:27:02,830
If we decided that this product was worth wild and just $8,000 would be correct split

325
00:27:02,830 --> 00:27:03,810
it was.

326
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,380
It's all under.

327
00:27:12,010 --> 00:27:19,430
It's not really equipment. It would be either maintenance of general

328
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:22,690
because it's technically not like just a

329
00:27:24,740 --> 00:27:29,900
part maintenance of general properties or I'd

330
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:33,980
have to look into it. I was waiting to see if it was going to be a year later.

331
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,940
The entrance, yeah, the voucher's the pilot, yeah.

332
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,740
Right, if this is just the initial, and then we get payment for the two, then see how the

333
00:27:42,740 --> 00:27:49,180
handle is going to handle that. Once I get through my piles, I'm going to handle that one too,

334
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,280
and see how if I need to do it differently, and then we'll have to budget if it's going to become

335
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:59,740
like a year later. So did we, this did suit up front of those costs, and we're getting

336
00:27:59,740 --> 00:28:06,920
reimburse from the other two parties of the minimum. Correct. Okay. We have received payment from

337
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:12,560
the golf course, and I believe we're still submitting a waiting on payment. I did just follow

338
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:19,400
up with the HOA Presidents and sent her the paid invoice for alterclier. So I think that reimbursement

339
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,200
is imminent. You may have to wait for a meeting or something too. Probably.

340
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:31,880
for the question, and the motion we shift this minute.

341
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,640
Second, for the discussion, all in favor?

342
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,900
Five, five.

343
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,460
Now let's move it.

344
00:28:43,650 --> 00:28:49,430
Item G, fiscal year 2027, capital of the blue and the land of the blue.

345
00:28:50,650 --> 00:28:57,150
Yeah, so I know that the board has really been wanting to see our capital plan,

346
00:28:57,150 --> 00:29:02,790
and I certainly understand that, you know, this was something that typically occurs with the

347
00:29:02,790 --> 00:29:12,030
operational budget in terms of what the operational budget and so, but we, staff has been

348
00:29:12,030 --> 00:29:20,350
just very busy, there's a lot of different projects and other business going on. So, but with

349
00:29:20,350 --> 00:29:30,630
said we did want to provide something to look at and this is just a working draft and I think

350
00:29:30,630 --> 00:29:38,350
probably the best path moving forward is now to if the board thinks it's a good idea to schedule

351
00:29:38,350 --> 00:29:48,090
some workshop meetings with our consulting engineer and again we're finding it to get into a finalized version.

352
00:29:48,090 --> 00:29:51,310
Yeah, I already have another version for the group.

353
00:29:53,290 --> 00:29:56,950
With his personalized, we did the second review,

354
00:29:57,710 --> 00:29:59,950
and then I provided him with that.

355
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Commence for a third review. I'm just keeping track of all those and then put it into one.

356
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:15,200
We're just trying to look at each project, you know, and I need Paul to get a fall of dispute with each law name, myself, so.

357
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,900
I'm a little bit longer than we had thought.

358
00:30:17,380 --> 00:30:25,480
Yeah, because I, I want to make sure we know what we, you know, that everything's been covered in, so it's personaged.

359
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,620
I think in Palm better we get some more trips with the board and just for me the information

360
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:32,220
as we get it in.

361
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:32,460
Yeah.

362
00:30:32,540 --> 00:30:33,280
King's like that.

363
00:30:33,340 --> 00:30:39,280
We've had a lot of change in, you know, certain, some employees, even in the field that

364
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:47,340
knew, had knowledge of things and then, do very did the water model and our cancage itself.

365
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:53,300
And so now, Chris is getting that information so that he can make sure, because a lot of

366
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:58,660
water projects will remove from the development and we didn't need some of them.

367
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:05,180
He agreed with those changes and now he just wanted to look into those and those

368
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,660
project costs haven't really changed since first time we discussed them, you know, and

369
00:31:10,660 --> 00:31:11,860
we've had a lot going on.

370
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:15,920
So we want to make sure they're correct and they have all the contingency and self-cost

371
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:22,120
and anything in them and then he wants to ensure not missing sections that could be

372
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,840
And we really want to put them in priority order rather than just having them enough.

373
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,160
Let's hear some.

374
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:38,520
I make a motion that we believe this all the agenda until we get to finalize the study between the director and the financial director.

375
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,400
Well, we can have a workshop that discuss it thoroughly.

376
00:31:42,260 --> 00:31:45,540
Keep it on the agenda and don't have any action that all we're doing is looking at something.

377
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,040
Just like I said, discussion only, we're not going to have anything to discuss.

378
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,340
I think we need to get to finalize them where we can have our workshop to discuss them.

379
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,920
Would you consider a time definite on that?

380
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,360
I don't know what that time would be from listening to.

381
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,780
I don't know what that would be.

382
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,320
I don't think it's so much, I mean, I think it's a combination for the water side.

383
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,400
We'd like to pull in our main in secret, and he's the one that works in the field with the distribution.

384
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:18,760
So when you get to the top projects in that spreadsheet, you know, he is a lot of knowledge

385
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,560
and I think, you know, Kursk has been a big thing,

386
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,560
in additional information from him.

387
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,760
Just from the time it's lack of a second.

388
00:32:32,580 --> 00:32:34,600
I don't know where they thought.

389
00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:36,700
Should we order off the phone?

390
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,700
I deal with situations in a second.

391
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:39,720
I'm going to take a second.

392
00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:41,500
I've got some questions.

393
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,180
So the second?

394
00:32:44,020 --> 00:32:44,240
Yes.

395
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,860
I've noticed I pulled out not 20-25.

396
00:32:48,660 --> 00:32:53,720
capacity improvement plans and the numbers are almost identical and I'm sure

397
00:32:53,720 --> 00:33:01,780
costs have gone up so yeah so with like some really good numbers so that we're not

398
00:33:01,780 --> 00:33:08,600
like pretending you know well the problem with these with the numbers of the

399
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:15,100
active projects are really close and you know but a lot of these we plan to get

400
00:33:15,100 --> 00:33:19,540
the estimates we get all the test borders and then years go by.

401
00:33:19,860 --> 00:33:25,220
A lot of these water projects were started and then sewer kind of just took,

402
00:33:25,220 --> 00:33:27,660
so I had these costly money and we haven't finished them.

403
00:33:27,820 --> 00:33:29,580
Like a battle of source and something like that.

404
00:33:29,580 --> 00:33:35,440
Yeah, percentage of the total capital improvements plan budget is taken by the two

405
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,380
plants, water and waste water.

406
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,200
Well, a large percentage of dollars, a hundred million dollars, they do more?

407
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,440
Yes, I think they're both 50 million.

408
00:33:44,440 --> 00:34:13,080
And we pretty certain about those rights, but the other one, you know, we want to make sure we're not under or over or, you know, Steve might say, I fixed this and this is part of this water model and we don't need this portion, but we will need this, we want to like, not perfect because it should be a working document, but get something that we're comfortable with moving forward saying this is what we need at this time, will we probably, would we say every year?

409
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:18,440
Yes, and but we want to keep it going all the way to know like our

410
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:24,280
Well child we have a policy for review in our sit at the office and it requires that we have a capital

411
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,600
movement plan first

412
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,500
It also requires that we look at

413
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:32,560
I think it mentioned three specific factors in inflation

414
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:38,220
Development pressures and capital improvements plan inflation is absolutely

415
00:34:38,220 --> 00:34:42,160
we run you in a much higher rate than we had estimated to hear go.

416
00:34:43,580 --> 00:34:47,660
And the dollar pressures are also increasing further than they weren't hear go.

417
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:53,840
So we're certainly going to be required to re-evaluate the SIF, we're just waiting on the

418
00:34:53,840 --> 00:35:00,000
improvements plan. I know that we need a solid model for those water and

419
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:13,820
I believe in getting that developed in a scientific way is going to take closer to a year and should inform our August 227 sick for getting it.

420
00:35:13,820 --> 00:35:18,060
We're going to need a sick review this year prior to having that information.

421
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:29,480
If the projects that are on there that are known, there's a couple that we're waiting

422
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:37,520
on, it's once there and Chris could do, the other ones are, we're about to move forward

423
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,880
with a lot of projects.

424
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:48,960
Those cost, it's the top section of the water, and to my knowledge, none of those are

425
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,220
emergency, but I don't want to say that because I'm not the one doing the

426
00:35:52,220 --> 00:35:57,040
administration system. So that is a review we could do an initial.

427
00:35:59,380 --> 00:35:59,960
After we get

428
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:05,400
the bids and things, we get a better idea of the green field. We might also

429
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,080
something that we learned from our meetings with the public service

430
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,940
commission in our staff. If they had an engineering division, it's

431
00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:16,760
soft. Pretty good at the value of these things. And with the

432
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,840
of assistance to us if they grow.

433
00:36:19,540 --> 00:36:25,660
So what if you possible to get a draft, capital improvements planned

434
00:36:25,660 --> 00:36:30,880
together by the end of September so that we could schedule a Zoom meeting

435
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:36,000
with Service Commission staff in October that reasonable expectation?

436
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,640
The draft you're referencing is that a draft from staffers that a draft

437
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,640
like post workshops with the board, post-purchase, I think that's reasonable.

438
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,460
I mean, my question was going to be sort of, I know we discussed bringing the PSE on that,

439
00:36:53,020 --> 00:36:58,120
there's a couple different entry points where we could bring them in. After we've done the plan,

440
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,060
and we're about to start calculating CIFS, I don't know, and I think going deferred to you, Paul,

441
00:37:03,180 --> 00:37:08,580
and sort of with at what point. Because I think we do, we dig as a guidance from PSE on how we should

442
00:37:08,580 --> 00:37:13,140
construct these things. And so, I'm so we can get a lot of that just from the decision that they

443
00:37:13,140 --> 00:37:18,100
But we also would like to have a check mark from that too, that would help us as well.

444
00:37:19,020 --> 00:37:25,240
So, would you be able to reach out to them and see if they'd be willing to come into a Zoom meeting during one of the work sessions?

445
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:25,600
Sure.

446
00:37:25,780 --> 00:37:26,580
That's a 10th work session.

447
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:31,060
At that, at no point in our doing a lot of work that they're not going to approve of.

448
00:37:31,780 --> 00:37:34,360
You said that for the engineering or for the fee.

449
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,660
Because this is a two parts.

450
00:37:36,180 --> 00:37:38,120
I think you're referencing.

451
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:38,400
Yeah.

452
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:41,620
You're referencing, finalizing the CIP.

453
00:37:41,620 --> 00:37:48,480
Yeah, and we need advice from engineering at the state to determine what they will consider

454
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,200
to be eligible for such funding.

455
00:37:50,860 --> 00:37:51,360
What they want?

456
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,640
They removed a lot of our items from such eligibility because we haven't provided enough information.

457
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:03,600
So, it wasn't that they disagreed with our right to do it.

458
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:08,920
They just said we provided information that backed up that they want for expansion over the

459
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:15,260
expanded capacity. So what we'll need to be able to show them in September at a work session is that

460
00:38:15,260 --> 00:38:22,680
the items we want to include for our capital improvements plan for SIF eligibility will increase

461
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:28,780
capacity. But one of the issues there, unfortunately, is that

462
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,620
and the issue you just referenced refers to

463
00:38:32,620 --> 00:38:39,050
to undergrad infrastructure, mostly, and pumping stations.

464
00:38:39,530 --> 00:38:43,770
Think of what you specifically have to prove, scientifically,

465
00:38:44,970 --> 00:38:48,330
that this new development is going to increase usage,

466
00:38:48,670 --> 00:38:54,350
accelerate depreciation, essentially kind of the downstream impacts,

467
00:38:54,910 --> 00:38:57,210
other than treatment of new development.

468
00:38:57,210 --> 00:39:08,810
And without some pretty in-depth novel engineering analysis, the only way to do that is with modeling.

469
00:39:10,390 --> 00:39:18,910
And although we just approved table-need the project because we need to upgrade the unfeal consultation,

470
00:39:19,470 --> 00:39:22,210
which we were able to determine without a long term.

471
00:39:22,810 --> 00:39:23,170
Sure.

472
00:39:23,170 --> 00:39:30,470
But that's one thing, and being changing a lot, but the most of the sewer projects, the

473
00:39:30,470 --> 00:39:40,970
bottom three collection system projects in the parallel line, those are so far off that

474
00:39:40,970 --> 00:39:44,430
I don't know that anyone's going to be able to say what component is, what has it been

475
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:47,990
on our books for, that's what he wants to look into.

476
00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:58,610
The other ones have already had the funding, it's going to either be internal funds or passing firm and fee funds.

477
00:39:59,430 --> 00:39:59,950
So that's not...

478
00:40:00,210 --> 00:40:13,470
We're going to be a decision, because it's on making them. I don't know that you want to take. We're about to go forward with green field, forcing it. That's 100%.

479
00:40:13,470 --> 00:40:30,050
We'd have to have wind off and go through each of those projects and evaluate them for the downstream effects and then potentially assign those particular projects growth percentages.

480
00:40:30,050 --> 00:40:31,990
And we could do that.

481
00:40:32,190 --> 00:40:32,830
You could do that.

482
00:40:33,050 --> 00:40:36,450
But the bulk of this, let's start about to be out of to bid.

483
00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:39,930
With the perils already for where the funding is coming from.

484
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:42,990
So there's really no question on that one section.

485
00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:46,150
We're looking for the capacity for another issue.

486
00:40:46,270 --> 00:40:46,570
Right.

487
00:40:47,090 --> 00:40:48,710
And so that's why we're looking at the future.

488
00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:53,730
We need a person I want to break it down because that's part of the issue at the PSC, too,

489
00:40:54,830 --> 00:40:56,910
because a lot of these projects, I mean, they take forever.

490
00:40:56,910 --> 00:41:02,990
The collection system project has morphed for 20 years in my life, I mean, but so it is.

491
00:41:03,310 --> 00:41:07,210
The ones that we're going to have been for now are essentially already being.

492
00:41:07,350 --> 00:41:12,730
Money's being spent, we're already about to have a project budget for it all the time with the resolutions.

493
00:41:14,670 --> 00:41:24,630
We want to face this into what is currently in progress and what is needed in the near future out and get a better time on.

494
00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:27,430
because that's what you'll need for this capacity and pretty much.

495
00:41:27,790 --> 00:41:32,530
What I'd like to see is some structure to this because if we had mentioned back in March,

496
00:41:32,530 --> 00:41:38,250
I guess March April that we wanted to have a capacity improvement plan ready and tuned.

497
00:41:39,130 --> 00:41:42,030
So now it's August. I know there's been a lot going on.

498
00:41:42,030 --> 00:41:42,850
Yeah, we lost.

499
00:41:43,490 --> 00:41:51,150
But I want to make sure that we're moving forward and that the board is involved with a timeline and seeing it move forward.

500
00:41:51,150 --> 00:41:57,390
So I would wonder if Mr. Pearson would consider a friendly amendment to the motion requiring

501
00:41:58,310 --> 00:42:00,050
two word of sessions.

502
00:42:00,270 --> 00:42:00,790
Whatever.

503
00:42:01,390 --> 00:42:02,630
That's basically what my motion was.

504
00:42:02,710 --> 00:42:04,910
What do we need to do is what my motion says?

505
00:42:05,550 --> 00:42:12,170
And with that time limit of a complete and a completed draft CIP from Word Approval

506
00:42:12,170 --> 00:42:13,670
by the first meeting of November.

507
00:42:14,510 --> 00:42:15,330
Is that possible?

508
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:19,380
I mean, yeah.

509
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:19,900
I think so.

510
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:20,580
I mean.

511
00:42:20,580 --> 00:42:30,600
Let me just speak frankly here, let me just speak frankly here, so an April kind of alluded to this already.

512
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:38,860
So, our water projects were developed with eBerry and together with our water model.

513
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:50,980
Our wastewater projects were developed with RKNK and kind of together with the 2023 or 2022 collection project.

514
00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:55,260
And, but our consulting engineers, Guindance and Informant.

515
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,560
You know, we don't have regular communication and collaboration with Dubai.

516
00:43:01,420 --> 00:43:07,860
RKNK has shown us not just on the collection project but on numerous projects that

517
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:16,980
For lack, you know, just the easiest way to say this is that we can't depend on a lot of the work they did.

518
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:29,100
Unfortunately, and in fact, our consulting engineer probably has spent more time fixing those than it would have taken him to originally design it.

519
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:42,500
And so, what we have, to me, is not for one, not a comprehensive capital improvement program view for you guys to see.

520
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,540
And it's not properly prioritized.

521
00:43:47,220 --> 00:43:53,120
It needs, it probably needs a lot of updating, like April said, our staff has been doing a lot of work.

522
00:43:53,120 --> 00:44:00,540
others, you know, that all needs to then be plugged into the models, you know, again, not

523
00:44:00,540 --> 00:44:02,520
properly prioritized.

524
00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:14,760
And then, you know, the capital plan we have now is not properly PSC facing in terms of our

525
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:15,460
Sith, right?

526
00:44:15,620 --> 00:44:21,920
I think it's, is it six years April that technically our Sith can be based on, like over the

527
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:29,460
six years of capital projects is is is more right but in our defense it I think we've finished two and eight years

528
00:44:29,460 --> 00:44:33,220
No, that's part of the reason why this is bad and that's absolutely

529
00:44:33,220 --> 00:44:37,160
Stuffed around because the timing for us to get anything done is it's true

530
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:43,100
I think that's why they're baiting and I completely agree that has a lot to do with our own internal processes too

531
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:47,680
But it should also inform the way we design these projects, right?

532
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:57,660
They need to be much more comprehensive than they are, they need to be designed to fit into this six-year window, because otherwise we are not.

533
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:15,060
Question years to narrow down, I asked this once before we just get a little bit more specific. Back in the napkin light, all of these projects, the distribution system elements that might be set eligible, are they going to total $20 million?

534
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:26,200
Well right now, all I have allocated is like right, the ones that are about to go out to bid, they're being fully funded by those accounts.

535
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:27,940
And I already have.

536
00:45:28,060 --> 00:45:29,680
And none of those are going to be part of our

537
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,080
care capital movements plan, not for Sith purposes.

538
00:45:32,460 --> 00:45:37,920
Well, yeah, for Sith purposes, you're going to have to take a...

539
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,660
We're going to have to take a chunk of the sewer out because, well,

540
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:52,840
and some of the waters, you'll have to clarify if we have well over $20 million cash in there.

541
00:45:52,980 --> 00:45:54,620
So I think that is part of the problem.

542
00:45:54,620 --> 00:45:57,420
Well, that's not a problem. That's an advantage.

543
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:10,540
Well, it's allocating to these projects, but then putting these projects into, that's why I had suggested first the sections of, like, the construction work and progress, how they're funded.

544
00:46:11,380 --> 00:46:24,600
And then the ones that are planned in a proper priority and, like, the...

545
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:29,940
be considered part of our set of planning in the future, right, because we're a part of our reality.

546
00:46:30,140 --> 00:46:35,320
Right, I think Chris's point, though, is that we have nine open projects or 10, and now we've

547
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:44,520
added some of itself, Jefferson, and this is a lot, and so we're trying to be reasonable about when

548
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:52,200
these future projects. We do have, everyone's easy to agree, a wastewater plant, out of the water

549
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:57,300
land that are going to cost us somewhere around $55, $60,000 a piece.

550
00:46:57,940 --> 00:46:59,660
Like the latest is $50 million.

551
00:47:01,020 --> 00:47:05,080
It's $50 million, and he said he is still confident in that.

552
00:47:05,260 --> 00:47:10,380
We have spent quite a bit of money on the wastewater one already.

553
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:18,580
Because I'm not really, I mean, I think we're collecting still.

554
00:47:20,380 --> 00:47:27,780
It can say, I mean, it comes in all the time for sewer, water, not so much, but we're not spending that water.

555
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:47,980
We've found, as a board, we need to be able to assure our customers that we're not subsidizing equipment that's going to be required for custody of growth, because we're not forcing them to pay for a plant that's going to be required by the growth.

556
00:47:47,980 --> 00:47:53,240
growth has to pay for growth. In order to do that, we have to have a capital improvements planning.

557
00:47:54,300 --> 00:48:01,140
So, I know it won't be perfect. To get perfect, we're going to need models that are more scientific than what we have available right now.

558
00:48:01,780 --> 00:48:10,180
So, I think that once again, we're looking at August of 2020's, you know, 2020's, 2020's, where we will be doing another

559
00:48:10,180 --> 00:48:25,960
We have evaluations, and hopefully for that one we will have more scientific data, but we need to do one now within the next few months to protect our rate payers against what we already know we have to spend over a hundred million dollars.

560
00:48:27,140 --> 00:48:30,600
But that was that in the case of plants?

561
00:48:32,860 --> 00:48:34,300
They were in the last evaluation.

562
00:48:34,300 --> 00:48:37,440
But the percentages were possibly not correct.

563
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,680
So the first was going to change.

564
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,760
And the inflation was certain not correct.

565
00:48:42,340 --> 00:48:43,920
As inflation is increased this year,

566
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,560
it's going to be a problem that it was a year.

567
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,120
I think that could just break out the work in progress,

568
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,040
what's funded.

569
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,600
And then Chris could work with you and the board on the

570
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,740
extras, the grades and the problem.

571
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:56,220
Yeah.

572
00:48:56,780 --> 00:48:57,960
I want to just do it that way.

573
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,740
For this year, yeah.

574
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,380
For this year, yeah.

575
00:49:05,540 --> 00:49:10,780
This part we need to get behind on the finance pretty heavily.

576
00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:12,120
So we're going to work this year.

577
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,220
We're going to write analysis and another professor.

578
00:49:14,420 --> 00:49:15,460
We're going to write analysis.

579
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,500
I mean, I have to get start working on the audit.

580
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,920
So I can put the work in progress.

581
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,620
So you all have a financial piece.

582
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,840
And then you can revisit growth percentages with curse.

583
00:49:28,940 --> 00:49:32,420
I don't know how much time I'll have in the next month or so today.

584
00:49:32,420 --> 00:49:34,020
All right, guys, I just see.

585
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:42,580
You know, our organization is we have the information we have now, get it into a CIP

586
00:49:42,580 --> 00:49:47,300
because that's what we need to be doing as a utility to be, you know, as due diligence.

587
00:49:48,260 --> 00:49:57,440
And then develop the next SIF and then really work on developing a much more comprehensive plan

588
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:58,860
for F127.

589
00:49:58,860 --> 00:50:00,000
that I would love to-

590
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,660
You're able to do that in coordination with PSC staff, so that they know what plan you're working on.

591
00:50:07,060 --> 00:50:14,240
Yep. So if we can reach out to them and see if they be willing to have a meeting with us in September or a work session, where we can review the draft to the IP.

592
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,800
We can target the second meeting.

593
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,160
Or you want to do a workshop, right?

594
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:24,000
So, yeah.

595
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:25,960
If we can get something scheduled.

596
00:50:26,340 --> 00:50:26,540
If we can get something scheduled.

597
00:50:27,820 --> 00:50:30,240
I will reach out to PSM.

598
00:50:30,240 --> 00:50:38,250
I went to general question, at what point do you feel like with the utility that we need

599
00:50:38,250 --> 00:50:45,630
to be perhaps hiring our own engineer so that we have a coordination between all of things.

600
00:50:45,810 --> 00:50:51,410
So we're not peace-mealing it with different engineers that we contract with and what about

601
00:50:51,410 --> 00:50:53,350
adding the count as well.

602
00:50:54,570 --> 00:51:01,050
So the engineers and the count is usually have to have an independent stamped thing, you're

603
00:51:01,050 --> 00:51:07,370
I'm not going to be able to hire an engineer to fully design things, but that's true.

604
00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:11,510
And it is very possible that you will have to hire an accounting firm to start helping

605
00:51:11,510 --> 00:51:15,870
with the finance, because I don't see a...

606
00:51:15,870 --> 00:51:16,690
We already have...

607
00:51:16,690 --> 00:51:19,070
We can work you any harder I don't think.

608
00:51:19,070 --> 00:51:19,490
I don't think so.

609
00:51:19,490 --> 00:51:21,790
Yeah, I think I'm pretty... I'm pretty...

610
00:51:21,790 --> 00:51:25,530
But I mean, we're also working on an organizational...

611
00:51:25,530 --> 00:51:29,650
We're doing a re-work kind of in the background here.

612
00:51:29,650 --> 00:51:35,990
And part of that is to address AFL's workload and provide her some better support.

613
00:51:36,950 --> 00:51:38,170
So we are working on that.

614
00:51:38,170 --> 00:51:43,870
And then regarding having an in-house engineer, we're addressing that actively with Chris

615
00:51:43,870 --> 00:51:50,330
second room too, the idea of housing art on models, updating and housing our models with

616
00:51:50,330 --> 00:51:58,050
when doffs and them being our consulting engineers, engineer and fine, seems to me the way

617
00:51:58,050 --> 00:52:01,870
to get, you know, to, I don't know.

618
00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:09,490
And we have staff to, that can keep these models, we can keep the engineer updated all the time,

619
00:52:09,590 --> 00:52:13,050
but we're going to have to hire additional staff to do that.

620
00:52:13,590 --> 00:52:20,310
So, you know, this, the CIP was like, because we have the project budgets and we have, you

621
00:52:20,310 --> 00:52:26,190
that we were working on at the time with board, and you have your outlook of the future.

622
00:52:27,510 --> 00:52:34,530
It just wasn't so heavily done, so I'd suggest it maybe be a part of your own type of...

623
00:52:34,530 --> 00:52:41,030
We talked to Chris about this too, for during our CIP meeting, and the reporting we have to

624
00:52:41,030 --> 00:52:48,550
provide is just needs to be a procedural thing, a formalized thing for us, as part of development

625
00:52:48,550 --> 00:52:56,190
or as part of any repair and replacement program, or any capital program that doesn't have anything

626
00:52:56,190 --> 00:53:01,490
to do with development. Really all they need is, you know, new EDUs or what infrastructure

627
00:53:01,490 --> 00:53:08,650
was installed, or it's not the most detailed process in terms of reporting that to them,

628
00:53:08,690 --> 00:53:14,710
but you do have to keep these models updated. It'll ideally, you know, if we put that together

629
00:53:14,710 --> 00:53:17,770
over the next year, it will relieve some distress from April,

630
00:53:18,130 --> 00:53:20,550
because it will have a process in place

631
00:53:20,550 --> 00:53:24,210
with a model that provides mathematical information

632
00:53:24,210 --> 00:53:26,170
about future requirements.

633
00:53:26,830 --> 00:53:29,550
And we won't be looking at April just, yes.

634
00:53:29,770 --> 00:53:33,170
To me, it's going to make the CIP process a heck of a lot easier.

635
00:53:33,430 --> 00:53:34,090
I have to be honest.

636
00:53:34,370 --> 00:53:36,650
For sure, I'm just curious if I'm going to consider it.

637
00:53:36,650 --> 00:53:38,710
No, not for this, but I will not.

638
00:53:38,730 --> 00:53:40,050
I'm almost put a date on it.

639
00:53:40,270 --> 00:53:40,330
All right.

640
00:53:40,990 --> 00:53:41,330
All right.

641
00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:42,610
It's got for any time.

642
00:53:42,750 --> 00:53:43,250
I'm out there.

643
00:53:43,250 --> 00:53:48,450
The other one has to for is, hopefully, I'll start it, but no, because we've got

644
00:53:48,450 --> 00:53:48,710
sorry.

645
00:53:49,010 --> 00:53:49,210
All right.

646
00:53:49,310 --> 00:53:54,470
So we have a motion on the table, and the call for vote.

647
00:53:56,010 --> 00:53:58,610
And the motion, again, just to, the motion.

648
00:53:59,190 --> 00:53:59,630
The motion.

649
00:53:59,630 --> 00:54:03,370
We do not have, this is a gender identity.

650
00:54:03,630 --> 00:54:04,910
We've got all the data together.

651
00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:07,310
We've got some of the front of us that we can vote on.

652
00:54:07,850 --> 00:54:10,030
And that means we have to have three workshops prior to that.

653
00:54:10,110 --> 00:54:11,230
That's what we need to do.

654
00:54:11,230 --> 00:54:13,090
I won't be voting against that.

655
00:54:15,250 --> 00:54:19,890
I do support the idea of having the workshops, I think, if we could do a friendly

656
00:54:19,890 --> 00:54:20,710
minute to that.

657
00:54:21,130 --> 00:54:24,350
So that the, the, the workshop language is in there.

658
00:54:24,610 --> 00:54:25,810
I don't know if it's worth it.

659
00:54:25,990 --> 00:54:29,130
Well, if we vote this for down, we can get another, another motion on the game.

660
00:54:29,770 --> 00:54:33,070
But I, I include the workshops because I think we do need it.

661
00:54:33,070 --> 00:54:33,590
I'm most interested.

662
00:54:33,710 --> 00:54:34,670
Include to do because.

663
00:54:35,030 --> 00:54:36,090
It has a friendly amendment.

664
00:54:36,250 --> 00:54:40,710
You would consider workshops in September and an invitation to the public service

665
00:54:40,710 --> 00:54:44,930
Yes, it's workshops, but I'm not putting the hope we've got to do that on the ground.

666
00:54:46,010 --> 00:54:52,350
So then the notion is that we postpone our discussion of the capital improvements program,

667
00:54:53,330 --> 00:54:57,990
until we have workshops to be scheduled in September with an invitation to the public service.

668
00:54:58,250 --> 00:54:59,950
It's great, and hopefully by now.

669
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,960
Remember, we have some of the questions. Why didn't you accept that? Yes, I accept that.

670
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:05,760
So all in favor? Aye.

671
00:55:09,390 --> 00:55:10,070
Aye. Yes.

672
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:16,300
Fill the law into new business.

673
00:55:18,980 --> 00:55:18,980
Aye.

674
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:28,140
For a collection system project, resolution number 37, CIF number 29, payment application number 7.

675
00:55:33,310 --> 00:55:39,970
This is pay application number 17. There is a,

676
00:55:40,890 --> 00:55:44,030
We're trying to get this project finished,

677
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,760
look forward to then the next, they give you a better time.

678
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,000
Yes, that would be good.

679
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,420
A little over month.

680
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,600
You'll give or take how there are some upcoming change orders.

681
00:56:03,170 --> 00:56:08,230
But remember, Chris did not design this project, so that's number one.

682
00:56:08,430 --> 00:56:10,690
Two of this project is more for years.

683
00:56:10,690 --> 00:56:12,990
So I mean, I think there were a few issues.

684
00:56:13,270 --> 00:56:15,030
He'll go over what they are because I am, so I don't know.

685
00:56:15,150 --> 00:56:17,370
He just said that there were some coming up.

686
00:56:17,910 --> 00:56:20,630
We're working with the funding agency on the amounts.

687
00:56:22,410 --> 00:56:25,690
Just because one of the change orders that you just

688
00:56:25,690 --> 00:56:29,730
approved, that would be for the, that I'll have to write them

689
00:56:29,730 --> 00:56:33,410
almost all the content, we only had 300,000 in the contingency.

690
00:56:34,370 --> 00:56:39,190
We had a $500,000 grant that the 300 was in the contingency.

691
00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:44,810
We're working with him on that, and then he'll have something finalized for the board next

692
00:56:44,810 --> 00:56:45,390
meeting.

693
00:56:46,010 --> 00:56:50,910
And then I'm hoping he's hoping the bulk of all of it will be on that payout, and then we'll

694
00:56:50,910 --> 00:56:58,890
have some punch list items, and then hopefully he'd this one out of the way, as I maybe

695
00:56:58,890 --> 00:57:08,250
out to, or just all the way to this, I'm hoping, so this is the payout before they've got a significant

696
00:57:08,250 --> 00:57:11,970
in a matter of work done after this came in.

697
00:57:11,970 --> 00:57:17,150
And this is just funded with our, the vaccine and the fee.

698
00:57:20,900 --> 00:57:23,360
And none of the change orders were on this one.

699
00:57:23,740 --> 00:57:25,060
That you have purged it the last meeting.

700
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:26,960
They haven't built for that yet.

701
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:28,020
What a couple of later.

702
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:28,980
Yes.

703
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:30,900
Probably down the next.

704
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:32,500
Resolution.

705
00:57:33,460 --> 00:57:33,660
Questions?

706
00:57:35,140 --> 00:57:37,800
Not just motion that we approved for resolution on the 37.

707
00:57:38,420 --> 00:57:39,200
I'm sorry, ma'am.

708
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:40,220
system project.

709
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:41,340
Discussion?

710
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:43,040
All in favour?

711
00:57:47,130 --> 00:57:47,290
Aye.

712
00:57:47,290 --> 00:57:47,310
Aye.

713
00:57:47,310 --> 00:57:47,330
Aye.

714
00:57:47,330 --> 00:57:47,510
Aye.

715
00:57:47,510 --> 00:57:47,590
Aye.

716
00:57:47,590 --> 00:57:47,650
Aye.

717
00:57:48,350 --> 00:57:50,210
Collective System Project Resolution.

718
00:57:50,390 --> 00:57:51,070
Number 38.

719
00:57:51,970 --> 00:57:53,150
See, I have number 30.

720
00:57:53,790 --> 00:58:01,010
This is just the GDF bill for the services since the last board meeting.

721
00:58:03,330 --> 00:58:03,990
For the collections.

722
00:58:04,450 --> 00:58:08,310
A motion that we have for the collection is just some project resolution in the 38.

723
00:58:08,870 --> 00:58:09,170
Second.

724
00:58:16,250 --> 00:58:16,970
I

725
00:58:19,180 --> 00:58:25,900
don't see quote for spare sledge transfer pump for the gesture at Charles Town and wastewater treatment.

726
00:58:27,580 --> 00:58:36,620
Yeah, we've been addressing kind of the critical redundancies we need at the Charles Town plant and throughout the wastewater department.

727
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:50,200
This is another critical area where a spares very much required and a bottleneck part of treatment at the plant.

728
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:56,560
You can see in the quote actually the believed time for this particular component is 14 to 16 weeks.

729
00:58:57,540 --> 00:59:03,920
So if we were able to ever lose this pump, which we currently have one of, it would be disastrous.

730
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:05,760
question.

731
00:59:10,590 --> 00:59:13,590
We have motion to accept this in the second.

732
00:59:15,850 --> 00:59:18,610
All the paper capacity

733
00:59:23,090 --> 00:59:23,570
improvement

734
00:59:23,570 --> 00:59:28,550
fee annual reviewed. I would suggest that we take a go back. I want to take a go back. I

735
00:59:28,550 --> 00:59:32,610
make motion. We take less in minute. Second. All in favor.

736
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:41,120
On the five. Manager reports. Yeah.

737
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:49,120
I wanted to report that I went to the World Water Conference August 10th and 11th.

738
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,180
Cindy introduced me to some members of the PSC.

739
00:59:54,260 --> 00:59:59,300
I'm at chairman of the way.

740
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:13,500
Lay, and thank you. And a few other members of the Board. And our environmental attorney was also present introduced me to a few other people, interesting classes,

741
01:00:15,540 --> 01:00:25,180
and some members of our wastewater department. And maintenance department also attended and went to some classes. It was very nice.

742
01:00:26,260 --> 01:00:32,520
The Department of Commerce annual meeting and business summit is coming up here on the second of fourth.

743
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:50,060
I plan to attend our environmental attorneys also attending also another opportunity to network and meet some important state leaders.

744
01:00:50,060 --> 01:00:55,260
So I will be attending the second through the fourth.

745
01:00:56,900 --> 01:01:02,520
Our renewal, we have provided all the necessary documentation for that.

746
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:07,400
The last I spoke with the Permanent Engineer, you mentioned it.

747
01:01:07,460 --> 01:01:14,940
We would be hearing back in about a month on receiving our Permanent renewal.

748
01:01:14,940 --> 01:01:22,120
I wanted to provide a quick update on the Huntfield service lateral root and curving issue.

749
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:26,920
You may recall we had some discussions about that a few months ago.

750
01:01:28,020 --> 01:01:32,080
I spoke with some of our staff I provided in your package.

751
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:33,260
It's kind of a diagram.

752
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:41,700
We've been working through various scenarios and ways to approach this issue.

753
01:01:42,860 --> 01:01:57,980
understanding that, you know, it is a systemic, a systemic issue in that neighborhood that will likely result in more backups and, you know, more excavations, more repairs and how we might be able to proactively address it.

754
01:02:00,420 --> 01:02:08,720
We went out and camored all the ladders in the neighborhood and identified that the root intrusions are actually occurring in just two places.

755
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:13,520
And that's at that 90 degree drop and at the 22 and a half degree drop.

756
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:24,060
We also met with members of the city's tree board to evaluate the best way to address this issue

757
01:02:24,060 --> 01:02:26,160
and workshops and ideas.

758
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:34,440
Unfortunately, care and place pipe lining isn't going to be an option because of that 90 degree

759
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:44,780
T connection, you can see in your diagram, is it won't be an option, so our next call will be to another vendor,

760
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:56,740
which would require regular removal of roots and treatment with a chemical that,

761
01:02:59,910 --> 01:03:00,610
you know,

762
01:03:00,610 --> 01:03:08,490
that removes the discourages, the work group that's, and we should get some cost figures on

763
01:03:08,490 --> 01:03:14,070
that and find out if it's both operationally and financially viable option.

764
01:03:15,570 --> 01:03:20,530
So, I just wanted to give a quick update there, the,

765
01:03:24,210 --> 01:03:27,590
oh yes, we also, Chris, please speak

766
01:03:27,590 --> 01:03:35,170
up if you'd like to on this topic, we will be meeting with the Department of Health, one of

767
01:03:35,170 --> 01:03:40,430
their environmental engineers, Pat Murphy, to discuss sort of orders where we recently

768
01:03:40,430 --> 01:03:48,130
asked them if we could switch from a zinc-based orthophosphate corrosion inhibitor to a polyphosphate

769
01:03:48,130 --> 01:03:57,930
corrosion inhibitor, the issue, again, with zinc-based is that with pH levels varying due

770
01:03:57,930 --> 01:04:04,310
to our surface water source, when the pH gets a little too high, the zinc in our current

771
01:04:04,310 --> 01:04:13,530
corrosion inhibitor precipitates out and creates this sludge at the, you know, in our distribution

772
01:04:13,530 --> 01:04:22,590
system, particularly in our water storage systems and a big reason why we recently had

773
01:04:22,590 --> 01:04:30,250
the locustil tank drained and emptied out. There was about a foot of sludge in there. And

774
01:04:30,250 --> 01:04:35,670
then also I think there's going to be a bit of a cost saving switching to a polyphosphate. The

775
01:04:35,670 --> 01:04:43,330
only issue I'm hearing is that potentially could create some issues with switching to a polyphosphate

776
01:04:43,330 --> 01:04:51,350
could create some issues with lead and the response that we got from the Department of Health

777
01:04:52,130 --> 01:04:59,990
was that they did not recommend switching and you know due to lead concerns obviously and asked us

778
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:29,980
To do some preliminary testing before switching. And that if we did switch, they would put us on a more aggressive review schedule. So to kind of work through some of those issues and get a better idea of a path forward. And hopefully get that same checkmark that we're hoping to get from PSE, we're going to meet with this environmental engineer, particularly the one that sent us this letter warning us about a number of questions.

779
01:05:29,980 --> 01:05:38,920
which have him out on September the 8th to meet and discuss this issue. Chris Eckenrodo

780
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:44,380
are consulting engineer where either be there in person or virtually and hopefully we can

781
01:05:44,380 --> 01:05:58,340
work through this issue and find some finality to it. The cyber security is a big concern

782
01:05:58,340 --> 01:06:02,300
now with the attacks in Minnesota.

783
01:06:04,740 --> 01:06:09,260
We have been working our IT manager, slash building manager,

784
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:21,690
has been working to address concerns and address any cyber security weaknesses we have.

785
01:06:21,690 --> 01:06:31,950
We recently met with a local vendor called tech advisors, they provide both cybersecurity

786
01:06:31,950 --> 01:06:39,970
and just basic IT consulting to lots of local municipalities and to, I think, the project

787
01:06:39,970 --> 01:06:40,670
kind of government.

788
01:06:42,470 --> 01:06:51,190
We went and did a walkthrough of our water treatment plant to identify any kind of cybersecurity

789
01:06:51,190 --> 01:07:00,550
issues there. As it turns out though, simplicity and not being up-to-date in terms of the newest

790
01:07:00,550 --> 01:07:02,630
technologies is actually our friend.

791
01:07:04,790 --> 01:07:08,830
And we are not physically connected. Our state of

792
01:07:08,830 --> 01:07:15,890
system is not physically connected to the internet except during very short periods of time

793
01:07:15,890 --> 01:07:18,230
where we are updating that SKA to software.

794
01:07:19,150 --> 01:07:20,850
So we have a physical wire

795
01:07:20,850 --> 01:07:23,050
that we connect to the SKA to computer

796
01:07:24,410 --> 01:07:26,350
and perform those updates.

797
01:07:26,830 --> 01:07:28,510
And then, but, you know, obviously,

798
01:07:28,730 --> 01:07:30,110
they're still room for improvement there.

799
01:07:31,790 --> 01:07:34,990
The one, the wiring at the water treatment plant

800
01:07:34,990 --> 01:07:36,830
is, you know, pretty.

801
01:07:39,050 --> 01:07:41,270
It looks like they've been,

802
01:07:42,230 --> 01:07:44,990
they've had numerous IT upgrades there,

803
01:07:44,990 --> 01:07:53,010
but never properly upgraded or organized all of that wiring, you know, say into an access panel,

804
01:07:53,110 --> 01:07:58,390
that sort of thing. So that needs to happen for future troubleshooting and upgrades.

805
01:08:00,070 --> 01:08:05,650
And then that physical connection probably needs a little bit of security too, and maybe just

806
01:08:05,650 --> 01:08:11,510
in the form of a lock box and proper internal policy. But on the water side,

807
01:08:11,510 --> 01:08:18,830
There is no remote access, in other words, any of our water treatment operators couldn't

808
01:08:18,830 --> 01:08:23,710
get on their phone or anybody over in Iran couldn't get on their computer and turn

809
01:08:23,710 --> 01:08:27,370
a valve or you know, turn off our supply.

810
01:08:28,110 --> 01:08:40,710
That cannot happen and in fact part of our water permit is having an operator on site during

811
01:08:40,710 --> 01:08:48,630
all operations. So, as it is now, we have an operator on site 20 hours out of the day in 10 hour shifts.

812
01:08:50,730 --> 01:08:57,710
And so, you know, even when we even are alarms, don't, when something's not going well,

813
01:08:57,890 --> 01:09:02,050
they don't go to one of our operator's phones because somebody is on side at all times.

814
01:09:02,050 --> 01:09:11,790
So, again, we don't have any cyber weaknesses at the water treatment plant, and we are looking

815
01:09:13,390 --> 01:09:19,470
to, we're requested a quote from tech advisors on the few upgrades that are needed

816
01:09:19,470 --> 01:09:32,030
at the water treatment plant, and also some support that we can, some third part of the

817
01:09:32,030 --> 01:09:38,870
They did provide a quote, and we'll be reviewing that this Friday to discuss at the management

818
01:09:38,870 --> 01:09:41,250
level how we're going to be moving forward there.

819
01:09:41,630 --> 01:09:47,530
And then performing the same analysis at the various other facilities, which will include

820
01:09:47,530 --> 01:09:56,090
creating a complete inventory of all of our IT equipment and cyber security software and hardware

821
01:09:56,090 --> 01:09:59,830
everything, so I'll provide.

822
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:07,420
Updates, as they become available there, is there any, I know that there's a lot of interest there, is there any questions about any of that stuff.

823
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:15,380
We did have the, on July 29th, we did the utility rate study kick off meeting.

824
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:26,000
It essentially was just a quick discussion of what, you know, we conveyed some of the awards concerns or, or, or goals and, and staffs.

825
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:35,540
And they gave us, you know, a portal to upload all of the respond to all of their data requests.

826
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:48,880
April did meet with our billing manager and provided him with one of those data requests.

827
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,820
And as far as I know he's working on that currently.

828
01:10:52,540 --> 01:10:53,100
How are you doing?

829
01:10:53,100 --> 01:11:02,940
Order done. Wow. Then the Saturday night finished the Lord's part of the Greek West. So I'll be doing a large dump into the water.

830
01:11:03,220 --> 01:11:10,740
Into that file. But what I wanted to do was not make sure some of the sections are completely thin.

831
01:11:10,740 --> 01:11:23,060
But they need to, they're still going to have to analyze that, um, billing data, uh, and just whatever questions they have, or, um, they don't

832
01:11:23,060 --> 01:11:31,220
build part it out by different things than they'll let me know, but some of it I need to try to get, um, they have to

833
01:11:31,220 --> 01:11:39,240
fiscal year 26, Billings, but everything hasn't been pulled together on finance for 26.

834
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,180
But I was able to give them all the budgets.

835
01:11:46,460 --> 01:11:55,640
We had a ton of info from the last capacity of the firm of the analysis and things that we had pulled,

836
01:11:55,640 --> 01:12:04,780
they need historic stuff or, you know, the same things this company need to do is little easier and from the other, you know,

837
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:18,060
class cost in 25 that had to other items. So, we have, I have most of the data pool finished from what came to me, you know,

838
01:12:18,140 --> 01:12:23,820
what's been completed on our side. It will take them a long time to do a good amount of time to go through this,

839
01:12:23,820 --> 01:12:28,780
ledgers and then work with the billing side to see, you know, they have filled

840
01:12:28,780 --> 01:12:32,880
by the part of the multi-meeting users and just different items and...

841
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,980
What would you anticipate, 90A's, 60A's?

842
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:49,540
We have put that and the other issues into the front, you know, as our priority

843
01:12:49,540 --> 01:12:56,980
And then I should be able, if they don't need audited items or PSE reports or anything like that,

844
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,620
I should be able to get it finished by September or October.

845
01:13:02,500 --> 01:13:05,860
My stuff will be to them, but I don't know how long it is.

846
01:13:05,860 --> 01:13:12,160
He said it, they'll do different, they have to get sort of really carefully and then I will ask

847
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:17,060
those questions, but I told them before they prepare a final draft, just kind of wool pull

848
01:13:17,060 --> 01:13:23,360
men with the board and have meetings instead of the consultant given us a report and then

849
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:28,400
you know, would the seven of them start working with the board once I have, once I've

850
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:33,460
had a chance to analyze and put it all into their templates. We submitted all billing

851
01:13:33,460 --> 01:13:40,240
into Excel in different ledgers, I should be able to dump it right into their model, but

852
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:46,700
there might be some missing pieces of fiscal year 26 that I'll have to get to them.

853
01:13:46,700 --> 01:13:53,820
I probably know I'm working on that the rest of this week we get that finished, and now I will

854
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,120
and then I'll have that see up here for you.

855
01:14:01,290 --> 01:14:05,370
Thank you.

856
01:14:08,020 --> 01:14:09,980
I think people are already provided

857
01:14:09,980 --> 01:14:14,860
it pretty much nothing on the collection system project. I just wanted to share that it's nearing

858
01:14:14,860 --> 01:14:24,640
And so that project has been driving on a little bit, so it's good that it's starting to wrap up.

859
01:14:25,620 --> 01:14:33,140
We did lose somebody actually in the wastewater department, one of our operators, but

860
01:14:33,140 --> 01:14:58,450
We recently hired three new OITs, so, and been working with our chief operator to learn about their progress, and then they just started, I think, last week, but they did need some personal in that department.

861
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:10,430
The building construction for the maintenance building is we'll begin on Monday.

862
01:15:11,830 --> 01:15:21,690
That project is expected to continue into early spring or summer, late spring, early summer, 2027.

863
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:36,220
You know, and one of the things I actually, it's not all there, but I wanted to bring up just because it's becoming more and more of a pervasive issue for us.

864
01:15:36,220 --> 01:15:39,780
is the King's crossing pump station maintenance agreement.

865
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:45,300
I mean, it is becoming a real headache for staff and

866
01:15:45,300 --> 01:15:47,120
administratively and in the field.

867
01:15:48,460 --> 01:15:52,080
They, you know, they have, I think, able share with me today.

868
01:15:52,300 --> 01:15:54,660
They've got about $38,000 in outstanding

869
01:15:55,220 --> 01:15:57,780
invoices, unpaid inspections.

870
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:00,860
Now, it's, yes, some inspections.

871
01:16:00,860 --> 01:16:04,740
It's kind of different than the one here used to as two parts.

872
01:16:04,740 --> 01:16:11,670
now the inspections we've got cleared up. But now with this pump station we're

873
01:16:11,670 --> 01:16:14,810
getting there a little different than the other pump station we're getting. In case

874
01:16:14,810 --> 01:16:22,550
for the they check on that pump station it's fine it'll get, it'll get, we'll take over

875
01:16:22,550 --> 01:16:27,090
our ownership once that phase is finished and that one that works fine. This one has been

876
01:16:27,090 --> 01:16:32,970
of our staff is always having to do it on that with the compensation issues, which is why

877
01:16:32,970 --> 01:16:41,590
that we turned into this agreement, which then has turned from me giving off the feelings

878
01:16:41,590 --> 01:16:47,050
of the inspections and then now I've got field staff, we let the God went out there

879
01:16:47,050 --> 01:16:47,730
still.

880
01:16:47,730 --> 01:16:49,210
They do.

881
01:16:49,630 --> 01:16:49,970
We go in.

882
01:16:51,070 --> 01:16:51,190
We go in.

883
01:16:51,190 --> 01:16:51,790
We go in.

884
01:16:52,130 --> 01:16:52,370
Yeah.

885
01:16:52,530 --> 01:17:00,390
They're reimbursing for it when they pay, but it's, I have not paid, I need to pay the vendor.

886
01:17:02,310 --> 01:17:13,210
And at the moment, they don't hate an availability letter, so they're not going to, they need to pay bills because I need to pay them under and don't like the way.

887
01:17:14,130 --> 01:17:22,950
And I'm honestly sick of chasing down him to pay for something, I know it will be ours eventually, that's part of the reason for that agreement.

888
01:17:22,950 --> 01:17:28,570
because our staff didn't want, they were continuously making an issue there.

889
01:17:28,710 --> 01:17:33,970
And we're taking that pump station over, and they wanted to make sure it was properly maintained.

890
01:17:35,310 --> 01:17:40,390
But now it's turning into every single month, all the time.

891
01:17:41,630 --> 01:17:43,930
And so I don't know how we want to...

892
01:17:43,930 --> 01:17:47,310
Well, I reached out last week.

893
01:17:47,310 --> 01:17:59,630
concerned just with the amount of work need to have support provided to DRV just at the administrative level and chasing them for reimbursement.

894
01:18:00,590 --> 01:18:15,850
And so, you know, the recommendation I made and the conversation I've averaged with DRV was, you know, you guys need to contract directly with these third parties, you know, to

895
01:18:15,850 --> 01:18:22,690
rent this pump that you guys need or purchase this part because, you know, us purchasing

896
01:18:22,690 --> 01:18:26,870
it and then, you know, we were just essentially functioning as the middle man.

897
01:18:27,190 --> 01:18:35,950
I mean, it's hard enough just to get our service invoices paid and so I made a call and

898
01:18:35,950 --> 01:18:39,930
followed up with an email, I had not heard back from them about a week, I just reached out

899
01:18:39,930 --> 01:18:47,910
again, and that this is on top of the administrative burden, on top of a longer list of other

900
01:18:47,910 --> 01:18:48,290
issues.

901
01:18:48,950 --> 01:18:55,210
So we've had that what will pump that twice due to construction debris entering the

902
01:18:55,210 --> 01:18:56,250
collection system.

903
01:18:58,330 --> 01:19:05,510
This issue is like ongoing, and is what is creating further downstream issues.

904
01:19:05,510 --> 01:19:11,390
You know, the reason we have a God-win pump, which is essentially an emergency pump there,

905
01:19:12,570 --> 01:19:16,830
to begin with, is because typically there are two pumps down in that wet well.

906
01:19:17,550 --> 01:19:22,570
One of them was damaged and had to be removed and repaired.

907
01:19:23,330 --> 01:19:26,930
And so that God-win had to be brought into function as that's very pump.

908
01:19:28,870 --> 01:19:34,210
And all this construction debris that's ending up in the collection system is what's causing

909
01:19:34,210 --> 01:19:40,650
these repairs and malfunctions, another issue we had upstream of the wet well was a gravity

910
01:19:43,330 --> 01:19:50,530
line failed and had to be replaced, and then of course we had a lot of construction

911
01:19:50,530 --> 01:19:57,050
debris coming at that time too, and one of the pumps in the pump station had to be replaced,

912
01:19:58,270 --> 01:19:59,990
And, and the Godwin was brought in.

913
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:12,000
And, you know, at our administrative level and then had to be supervised by field staff for that.

914
01:20:12,900 --> 01:20:19,040
You know, we're anticipating because of all this construction debris that these pumps won't last long.

915
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:28,120
In fact, they had to jury read one of the pumps to function without moisture failure relays

916
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,640
because it wouldn't have operated at the West.

917
01:20:32,660 --> 01:20:38,620
But doing that, you're risking having to buy a brand new pump because you'll get moisture

918
01:20:38,620 --> 01:20:46,900
infiltration and the pump will be ruined if they can't shut off due to moisture infiltration.

919
01:20:46,900 --> 01:20:52,820
The overhead light at the pump stations, not working, and we've had three to four sanitary

920
01:20:52,820 --> 01:21:01,020
sewer overflows either at that pump station or upstream of the pump station due to these

921
01:21:01,020 --> 01:21:02,780
regular deputy blockages.

922
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:11,240
And so that all compounds creates further administrative burden for April and her staff.

923
01:21:12,460 --> 01:21:14,280
And then we can't even get paid properly.

924
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:18,580
And it's like we're getting very close to the point where I would recommend that we would

925
01:21:18,580 --> 01:21:21,520
probably just remove ourselves from this agreement.

926
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,460
And then when it comes time to accept this,

927
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:33,020
being very careful about what we will be accepting.

928
01:21:34,340 --> 01:21:38,400
Certainly it's turned into a real nightmare that we just don't need.

929
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,660
I see them calling our stuff anyway.

930
01:21:41,660 --> 01:21:45,820
You know, and that I think is what prompted the agreement,

931
01:21:48,430 --> 01:21:49,410
but and I don't know what has

932
01:21:49,410 --> 01:21:50,410
been said.

933
01:21:52,190 --> 01:21:57,130
Um, I think there were something with the warranties, there's a lot of moving parts on

934
01:21:57,130 --> 01:21:58,350
this one.

935
01:21:58,350 --> 01:22:05,690
Um, is why our staff took over, was, you know, we don't pay the cost for this.

936
01:22:06,170 --> 01:22:10,130
Um, there's this to pay it, but we had an attorney review in the agreement.

937
01:22:13,250 --> 01:22:15,770
But I don't know after this one.

938
01:22:15,910 --> 01:22:18,630
I don't think this was kind of recent.

939
01:22:19,810 --> 01:22:26,130
If you can leave the agreement for breach of contract, you have to provide 60 days notice.

940
01:22:29,370 --> 01:22:34,130
I think, you know, I guess my recommendation would be,

941
01:22:34,130 --> 01:22:41,490
We need to communicate with this so we've reached out, expressed how we'd like to move forward,

942
01:22:43,030 --> 01:22:47,170
which is remove administrative staff from as much of the clerical work as we can.

943
01:22:48,210 --> 01:22:52,950
I, you know, you contract separately with STH and separately with Zylum.

944
01:22:53,570 --> 01:22:56,270
We don't need to be the past for these expenses.

945
01:22:56,750 --> 01:22:57,870
That any agreement?

946
01:22:58,370 --> 01:22:59,250
It is.

947
01:22:59,250 --> 01:23:07,150
and I would require a maintenance agreement amendment to do that formally, unless they would like to,

948
01:23:07,150 --> 01:23:08,690
they would agree to do it informally.

949
01:23:11,810 --> 01:23:15,590
And I spelled that out in my last communication with them,

950
01:23:15,670 --> 01:23:21,810
both over the phone and any mail. And again, we haven't heard back on that yet. So, here's some.

951
01:23:21,930 --> 01:23:25,310
I would recommend that you reach out to our attorney, not during this meeting,

952
01:23:25,310 --> 01:23:32,990
There's a lot to discuss during the meeting, but you and April reach out to them and figure out what the legal way is to earn, or maybe it is, and get paid.

953
01:23:33,270 --> 01:23:36,230
It was just a new agreement, dropped agreement, whatever it is.

954
01:23:36,470 --> 01:23:37,090
We had an attorney.

955
01:23:37,330 --> 01:23:39,050
We paid those attorneys to make those decisions.

956
01:23:39,190 --> 01:23:42,610
That's my recommendation that you do that.

957
01:23:46,780 --> 01:23:52,240
My thoughts, because when this was brought up that we should take a care of a pump that we didn't.

958
01:23:52,240 --> 01:24:02,540
It wasn't, when everything wasn't Daniel, I was very much against it, because how do you take care of something that's owned by someone else when it's not really yours yet?

959
01:24:02,700 --> 01:24:12,850
And so this kind of outlines the problems with it, so I'm supportive to record person about that as well.

960
01:24:13,590 --> 01:24:19,330
And could this, could this, and keep us from doing this again, not even this again, I hope?

961
01:24:19,330 --> 01:24:24,470
I wouldn't recommend it in the future, at least not the way the agreement is written.

962
01:24:25,210 --> 01:24:33,090
No, and the one, that one was probably written with the similar random issue of the other one that was in the 80's.

963
01:24:33,310 --> 01:24:38,710
Is this something you could, without official motion, the board, reach out to the attorney,

964
01:24:38,890 --> 01:24:42,170
the review, the agreement, and report back in order to our next meeting?

965
01:24:42,530 --> 01:24:45,910
Sure. That's my recommendation. We don't need a motion on that.

966
01:24:45,910 --> 01:24:50,650
I'm sorry, I said listen to it and he knows what's got that and we don't need a motion for something like that.

967
01:24:50,950 --> 01:24:52,130
That's a daily operation.

968
01:24:53,430 --> 01:24:55,190
That sounds like it's been a big headache, I'm sorry.

969
01:24:56,210 --> 01:24:56,390
Yes.

970
01:24:57,130 --> 01:24:58,450
That's something we did before.

971
01:24:58,910 --> 01:24:59,110
Yeah.

972
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:19,300
I wasn't expecting a motion. This was really just for a year of attention to it. I wanted to let you guys know that, you know, what's happening? That's all. Bring your attention to it and keep you updated. And that if staff at the staff level, if we weren't able to resolve it, then that might be a next step.

973
01:25:19,300 --> 01:25:19,660
That's all.

974
01:25:19,860 --> 01:25:23,180
I mean, like, they can get to resolve very quick issues.

975
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:23,840
Yeah.

976
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:24,220
I know.

977
01:25:24,340 --> 01:25:26,080
We know when they meet.

978
01:25:27,340 --> 01:25:29,060
We have a lot of expenses.

979
01:25:29,580 --> 01:25:31,980
And a lot of those expenses are legal expenses.

980
01:25:32,620 --> 01:25:34,420
And I'm sure you understand that.

981
01:25:34,780 --> 01:25:37,240
If we get paid, you have paid for those legal expenses, too.

982
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:38,680
We're by the hour.

983
01:25:38,900 --> 01:25:39,720
By the hour, sir.

984
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:40,880
And yes, sir.

985
01:25:41,020 --> 01:25:42,880
It's worth keeping this sort of thing in mind.

986
01:25:43,060 --> 01:25:44,100
We should send all our agreements.

987
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:44,540
Come on.

988
01:25:44,620 --> 01:25:45,340
What are we going to do?

989
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:46,820
We're going to send all our credit.

990
01:25:46,820 --> 01:25:48,740
Yeah, that's right.

991
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:53,140
Yeah, River Point was fine, because it was an odd situation.

992
01:25:53,440 --> 01:26:02,000
This one, they've had issues with this pump station from day one in the 8th, the preference

993
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:03,200
of them.

994
01:26:03,260 --> 01:26:08,660
People kept calling us to help us, because the issues were over what holidays, what was that

995
01:26:08,660 --> 01:26:15,020
one holiday we worked at, actually, where we were dealing with other things, and then

996
01:26:15,020 --> 01:26:18,860
That was on the phone with them and had to fix it.

997
01:26:19,060 --> 01:26:20,100
I mean, it was one of the hell.

998
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:23,160
It's been even before we had a green screen.

999
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:28,120
Because there's only, there is a point where they'll start

1000
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:32,120
who wants us to come out there and help.

1001
01:26:33,180 --> 01:26:35,020
It's apparently taking it in the way.

1002
01:26:35,900 --> 01:26:37,480
Yeah, I mean, there's our sewer.

1003
01:26:38,220 --> 01:26:40,760
Well, our building customer.

1004
01:26:41,180 --> 01:26:44,340
So when it's leaking, we're building those customers.

1005
01:26:44,340 --> 01:26:46,760
and they have sewage, seeping out of the conversation,

1006
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:50,080
it's a little card for us to say, yeah.

1007
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:52,680
You know, so that's what started this, was that,

1008
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,700
that back, because it was just going there,

1009
01:26:55,700 --> 01:26:57,900
and that kind of is where this downward.

1010
01:26:59,300 --> 01:27:02,400
Yeah, we've had conversations with DEP about this.

1011
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,220
Ultimately, these overflows are the responsibility

1012
01:27:05,220 --> 01:27:06,320
of the owner.

1013
01:27:07,380 --> 01:27:11,140
So I understand why it is the expectation of our

1014
01:27:11,140 --> 01:27:13,420
ratepayers that we address it.

1015
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:21,360
And I certainly understand why it made sense to just have a step in and help them through

1016
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:22,000
this process.

1017
01:27:22,540 --> 01:27:23,360
But you know,

1018
01:27:25,390 --> 01:27:26,910
they're not making it easy.

1019
01:27:27,250 --> 01:27:29,690
And so much bigger.

1020
01:27:30,450 --> 01:27:32,470
Yeah, more on the benefits before.

1021
01:27:33,370 --> 01:27:40,990
The last thing was, you know, we did a, I heard from West Virginia American Water through

1022
01:27:40,990 --> 01:27:45,210
their external affairs specialist and through Western Virginia

1023
01:27:45,210 --> 01:27:49,330
and American waters, President, President Wyman,

1024
01:27:51,070 --> 01:27:56,610
and they expressed interest in coming out and having a meeting

1025
01:27:56,610 --> 01:27:59,610
to discuss how we can work more effectively together

1026
01:27:59,610 --> 01:28:00,870
operationally.

1027
01:28:01,750 --> 01:28:06,430
And staff brought up that the last meeting we had,

1028
01:28:06,430 --> 01:28:15,370
public meeting, we had with them resulted in an offer for purchase, and so I do not want

1029
01:28:15,370 --> 01:28:24,050
to let that, certainly not. So I did make it clear to both the External Affairs Specialist

1030
01:28:24,050 --> 01:28:33,450
and President Wyman that we would not be entertaining any purchase offers at this meeting or

1031
01:28:33,450 --> 01:28:42,070
any business that properly required the attention and decision-making of the board at a public

1032
01:28:42,070 --> 01:28:50,270
meeting, and they clarified that no, this is just a warning to come out and discuss

1033
01:28:50,270 --> 01:28:56,150
how we can better collaborate for providing services to our shared customers.

1034
01:28:57,030 --> 01:29:01,190
So meeting with them toward the President want to come for that.

1035
01:29:01,210 --> 01:29:04,050
For the record, they said that last time,

1036
01:29:04,390 --> 01:29:05,990
and the put staff in a bad position,

1037
01:29:06,370 --> 01:29:10,610
so you might want to put somebody in my board member in the room.

1038
01:29:11,850 --> 01:29:14,790
Or, or do you have a witness to it?

1039
01:29:15,070 --> 01:29:18,590
I mean, we had actually the mayor in the last time,

1040
01:29:18,750 --> 01:29:21,150
and it just went south 40 minutes in.

1041
01:29:21,490 --> 01:29:24,150
So I don't maybe email him.

1042
01:29:25,030 --> 01:29:32,490
If they were to bring up anything that was in proper time.

1043
01:29:33,090 --> 01:29:34,170
Is it appropriate?

1044
01:29:34,730 --> 01:29:36,070
We can't find this on the agenda.

1045
01:29:36,470 --> 01:29:37,670
I'll just...

1046
01:29:37,670 --> 01:29:39,310
This is it given his report.

1047
01:29:39,670 --> 01:29:39,950
Is that it?

1048
01:29:40,470 --> 01:29:42,030
The report is discussing it now.

1049
01:29:42,550 --> 01:29:43,410
So I just wanted to.

1050
01:29:43,450 --> 01:29:46,230
He just informed us that they requested a meeting.

1051
01:29:46,490 --> 01:29:46,930
So all we did.

1052
01:29:47,390 --> 01:29:49,270
Yeah, this just happened this week.

1053
01:29:49,630 --> 01:29:51,150
So I didn't have time to add it to the...

1054
01:29:52,230 --> 01:29:54,890
So the question is, is there a meeting scheduled?

1055
01:29:55,770 --> 01:29:56,530
Yes, for tomorrow.

1056
01:29:58,510 --> 01:29:59,870
And you know, it's the meeting.

1057
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,240
Thus veer into anything in a program. I was just, I was just on the meeting.

1058
01:30:04,480 --> 01:30:06,400
Or what is the state of the public system?

1059
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:15,580
The state of the purpose by them was to discuss ways to communicate and work together to better

1060
01:30:15,580 --> 01:30:19,640
provide services to our shared customers. IE, there are water customers, how are

1061
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:20,400
the waste water customers?

1062
01:30:20,580 --> 01:30:21,440
What is that in the view?

1063
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:24,720
Tomorrow at 4 or 30.

1064
01:30:28,890 --> 01:30:30,810
It's just a staff level meeting.

1065
01:30:30,810 --> 01:30:34,650
I have dated the next meeting, if you

1066
01:30:36,730 --> 01:30:36,810
want.

1067
01:30:38,910 --> 01:30:41,310
I don't feel uncomfortable with it.

1068
01:30:41,830 --> 01:30:42,150
Yeah.

1069
01:30:42,690 --> 01:30:43,050
I did.

1070
01:30:44,330 --> 01:30:44,670
Yeah.

1071
01:30:44,710 --> 01:30:44,850
Absolutely.

1072
01:30:45,950 --> 01:30:46,410
Question.

1073
01:30:48,430 --> 01:30:49,690
Where did my comments go?

1074
01:30:50,810 --> 01:30:54,190
I've got no problem with you all meeting with them.

1075
01:30:54,310 --> 01:30:55,270
I trust you did.

1076
01:30:55,650 --> 01:30:56,870
Nothing bad is going to happen.

1077
01:30:56,870 --> 01:30:57,410
That's meeting.

1078
01:30:57,670 --> 01:31:00,070
But just the old saying is we've got two ears on one mouth.

1079
01:31:00,710 --> 01:31:01,570
Should be in that report.

1080
01:31:01,910 --> 01:31:02,590
Your participation.

1081
01:31:05,010 --> 01:31:08,210
Very good. Very wise. That's a fun, a simple question.

1082
01:31:12,310 --> 01:31:13,850
So, uh, as integral to the

1083
01:31:13,850 --> 01:31:17,770
manager's book, that concludes my report. Very good. Thank you very much. We'll go on

1084
01:31:17,770 --> 01:31:25,110
then to the Chairman's report and as a substitute Chairman only, I have a report. We'll

1085
01:31:25,110 --> 01:31:29,570
go on to approval or no, our engineering report, which is very important.

1086
01:31:37,070 --> 01:31:45,210
I'll try to make it short and sweet, I'm going to pull top stone those to my project,

1087
01:31:50,010 --> 01:31:59,030
so I will

1088
01:31:59,030 --> 01:32:04,090
And first, I would like to do the remembering fact, completed the three-month Hollis Study

1089
01:32:04,090 --> 01:32:05,550
Cycle last week.

1090
01:32:06,250 --> 01:32:12,430
Their system has been removed and replaced by AOP and SinR, which would be the pilot

1091
01:32:12,430 --> 01:32:14,710
number two for the membrane side.

1092
01:32:15,070 --> 01:32:18,270
That startup is going to happen this week, because I'm going this week.

1093
01:32:18,670 --> 01:32:22,930
As far as the water, quality sampling from the certified lab, I started to dig through some

1094
01:32:22,930 --> 01:32:23,930
of that today.

1095
01:32:23,930 --> 01:32:29,610
The pilot study has been functioning as I planned, as expected.

1096
01:32:30,330 --> 01:32:32,150
The chemical cleanings are doing well.

1097
01:32:32,690 --> 01:32:37,810
The trans membrane pressures on the membrane system have not been getting

1098
01:32:37,810 --> 01:32:39,970
excessively high, which is a good thing.

1099
01:32:40,730 --> 01:32:45,030
The turbidities on the filtrate side of the membrane have been

1100
01:32:45,030 --> 01:32:49,810
excellent about 0.2 NTU, which is what I would expect.

1101
01:32:49,810 --> 01:33:01,890
the GAC system is removing actually the first month that was removing almost 85% of the TFC of the

1102
01:33:01,890 --> 01:33:09,250
feed water which was excellent. It has become a little bit saturated and not completely exhausted yet.

1103
01:33:09,690 --> 01:33:15,710
So the GAC system has been running about four months treating the filtered water that comes to

1104
01:33:15,710 --> 01:33:22,090
But one thing I did notice is that your existing plant does not do a very good job at all

1105
01:33:22,090 --> 01:33:26,550
of removing TUSC based on the water quality results that I'm seeing.

1106
01:33:26,830 --> 01:33:31,870
Which is kind of expected with a shorter set basin with plate settlers, but that's just

1107
01:33:31,870 --> 01:33:34,090
confirms why I don't like plate settlers.

1108
01:33:36,350 --> 01:33:38,450
So yeah, I think the positive is going very well.

1109
01:33:38,470 --> 01:33:43,630
Exactly what I expected I've done this ten times and the numbers look great.

1110
01:33:44,490 --> 01:33:44,630
Great.

1111
01:33:44,630 --> 01:33:47,330
questions on the file of some questions.

1112
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:54,920
Next topic is look as Tills tank cleaning and

1113
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:58,480
read that we can take that one off the list because it's complete.

1114
01:34:01,270 --> 01:34:02,030
The corrosion

1115
01:34:02,030 --> 01:34:05,930
inhibitor change is not going to dwell on that. We have a meeting I actually talked to

1116
01:34:05,930 --> 01:34:10,830
Pat at West Virginia World Water Conference and explained in here why I wanted to make

1117
01:34:10,830 --> 01:34:14,630
the switch and that I switched over Berkeley County and actually he was all here.

1118
01:34:14,630 --> 01:34:21,330
she was very receiving what I had to say, realized I knew what I was talking about, and I'm

1119
01:34:21,330 --> 01:34:24,850
looking forward to meeting her in person and getting you guys switched.

1120
01:34:26,490 --> 01:34:27,670
What's there any lead risk?

1121
01:34:28,130 --> 01:34:29,410
I mean, there seem to be a worry.

1122
01:34:29,430 --> 01:34:30,330
Not at all.

1123
01:34:30,470 --> 01:34:34,610
I switched eight clients over Berkeley County being one of them.

1124
01:34:35,030 --> 01:34:38,750
It's a non-issue to with this exact same product.

1125
01:34:39,250 --> 01:34:44,190
And Berkeley Water, from your water content Berkeley, it's very, very similar thing.

1126
01:34:44,190 --> 01:34:48,030
The Shenandoah and the Potomac are very, very similar sources for surface water.

1127
01:34:48,310 --> 01:34:53,710
They're high alkalinity, high-bortness, flat-ish sources, this kind of hole, or perfectly.

1128
01:34:55,030 --> 01:34:56,690
So I had no concern about it

1129
01:34:59,600 --> 01:34:59,900
anymore.

1130
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:29,020
So yeah, that meeting is coming up as Paul stated there with the health department, which I'm looking forward to, the collection system project. The only thing I want to report there, if you get asked as board, all the pump stations are currently being utilized. All of the new pump stations as part of that project are now being utilized. So that was a huge step. That all happened over the last about two months. This chairman. So yeah, that's a huge.

1131
01:35:29,020 --> 01:35:30,420
That was a huge step in the right direction.

1132
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:35,080
So just for what it's worth, the names of the Margez Farm,

1133
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:38,260
New Slage, Laughland, and Bur East.

1134
01:35:38,660 --> 01:35:40,300
So we certainly are on the home stretch.

1135
01:35:40,420 --> 01:35:43,020
Still dealing with some rock on the left and the forest.

1136
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:46,260
And some punchless items, fourth mentioning, too,

1137
01:35:46,380 --> 01:35:49,340
is about $6,000 of retainage on that project,

1138
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:50,640
which will be released.

1139
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:52,920
5% of that will be released once they

1140
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:54,200
hit substantial completion.

1141
01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:57,720
I expect them to hit substantial completion

1142
01:35:57,720 --> 01:35:59,720
within the next 30 days.

1143
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:13,460
The new wastewater treatment plant design, it's going well.

1144
01:36:14,020 --> 01:36:14,580
I apologize.

1145
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:18,280
I meant to put some drawings that we came up with in the packet.

1146
01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:19,900
I did not do that.

1147
01:36:19,940 --> 01:36:22,700
So I hope that our member for next month.

1148
01:36:23,780 --> 01:36:25,320
The design is going very well.

1149
01:36:25,480 --> 01:36:26,900
The only holdup is the sampling.

1150
01:36:27,700 --> 01:36:29,460
So just a minor report.

1151
01:36:29,700 --> 01:36:31,220
Mr. Maxi on the sampling.

1152
01:36:31,220 --> 01:36:40,280
out in the system, out in the distribution system, we have pretty much calculated that

1153
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:46,060
pond field is a problem, that pond field definitely has IBOD, we're seeing it with composite

1154
01:36:46,060 --> 01:36:51,560
sampling, we're seeing it with grab sampling, we have really narrowed this down to it's a

1155
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:57,180
pond field, very confident. I mean, flowing springs is a little bit on the high side from

1156
01:36:57,180 --> 01:37:01,640
the O.D. and a motor standpoint, but upon field, which doesn't make any sense, honestly,

1157
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:06,440
because it's all residential for the most part, but something's going on out there,

1158
01:37:06,460 --> 01:37:11,600
and we're really hoping to track it down within the next month or two with this sampling

1159
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:17,940
or when we find it. But yeah, that's the latest. You can't really do much because the entire

1160
01:37:17,940 --> 01:37:26,120
reactors are sized based on the beauty and the ammonia that we use in the calculations period.

1161
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:28,680
We have to flow the flows in on issue.

1162
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:35,120
We need to know what to use for the BOD and for the total amount for this new plant design.

1163
01:37:35,620 --> 01:37:40,520
And until we are confident with those numbers, you know, I don't want to give you a cost estimate.

1164
01:37:40,700 --> 01:37:48,140
I don't want to give you a design. I don't want to give you a timeline because to do this right to right size this plant, we need those numbers.

1165
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:54,240
And I think we're very close to, you know, at least finding out where this is coming from.

1166
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:58,080
But it's narrowed down at this point, too, on field and that, on stage.

1167
01:37:59,460 --> 01:38:03,520
Yeah, there's something going on coming in, that's on field for Shidorah.

1168
01:38:06,230 --> 01:38:08,750
And so, the testing is going to be ongoing.

1169
01:38:09,030 --> 01:38:12,030
Probably for two more months, I'd say, through the end of October.

1170
01:38:13,950 --> 01:38:18,610
For this intensive sampling program that we have implemented, which again,

1171
01:38:19,350 --> 01:38:20,490
the operators have been great.

1172
01:38:20,770 --> 01:38:21,870
There's a lot of sampling.

1173
01:38:21,870 --> 01:38:24,310
a lot of coordination, opening up manholes,

1174
01:38:24,410 --> 01:38:27,350
pump stations, they've been great to deal with.

1175
01:38:27,730 --> 01:38:29,170
But this is pretty big.

1176
01:38:29,390 --> 01:38:32,690
And we're hoping to find a great to find the exact source

1177
01:38:32,690 --> 01:38:36,430
of this high B of D, and I am going to at least narrow it

1178
01:38:36,430 --> 01:38:40,150
down to maybe a couple of streets or manholes

1179
01:38:40,150 --> 01:38:42,330
or something, but I think we're getting closer.

1180
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:49,320
I guess you heard earlier in the meeting,

1181
01:38:49,660 --> 01:38:52,200
we post code to decisions on a subdivision.

1182
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:54,580
that we'll be using that same home station.

1183
01:38:55,500 --> 01:38:58,540
Yeah, that was upon my review, actually,

1184
01:38:59,460 --> 01:39:02,380
which I think we have a way around, like concerned,

1185
01:39:02,940 --> 01:39:04,200
in talking to the Travis Marfley,

1186
01:39:05,300 --> 01:39:07,400
who knows your system, you know, better than anybody,

1187
01:39:07,940 --> 01:39:10,280
but him and I need to have a further conversation

1188
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:13,940
to make sure that it's not a capacity concern,

1189
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:16,260
but the developer was proposing to tie

1190
01:39:16,260 --> 01:39:18,720
into the existing six inch force main,

1191
01:39:19,100 --> 01:39:20,660
and there's no way we can do that.

1192
01:39:20,660 --> 01:39:25,780
that is not, why do you not want that to happen so, but apparently there are parallel

1193
01:39:25,780 --> 01:39:30,420
force maids that we're not using, which we could use, because they were put in there

1194
01:39:30,420 --> 01:39:36,500
potentially for future development, so I don't want to get into that, but yeah, when I saw

1195
01:39:36,500 --> 01:39:40,380
that, it was a red flag, so I just kind of put that on board for now.

1196
01:39:41,580 --> 01:39:43,200
But sounds like it might be the future.

1197
01:39:45,500 --> 01:39:45,520
Yeah.

1198
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:49,820
The future is now about it.

1199
01:39:49,820 --> 01:39:52,280
to follow up on the wastewater treatment plant

1200
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:55,140
and the FEMA or the Letter of Map revision

1201
01:39:55,140 --> 01:39:56,960
or the floodplain issue.

1202
01:39:57,460 --> 01:39:59,960
Essentially, here's what my...

1203
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:09,100
Flood fleeting, coordinator said, I didn't mention you that doesn't. He's been doing it long as I haven't owe he does. He's had for us, floodplain, stormwater management.

1204
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:19,660
He reported that until we get this facility laid out to 80% design. We have got to know what proposed grade is going to be.

1205
01:40:19,860 --> 01:40:29,860
We got to know how big all these new structures are going to be. The reactors are one of them, the clarifiers, the UV building, the digesters, the centrifuge building, the control building, the headworks.

1206
01:40:29,860 --> 01:40:33,960
All those need place on site plan with proposed grading.

1207
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:41,560
At that time, he can run a head brass model at pre-conditions and post-conditions.

1208
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:46,060
He does believe that the flood claim that the image showing will be increased.

1209
01:40:46,820 --> 01:40:51,300
So that will require a call of a clover.

1210
01:40:51,420 --> 01:40:57,000
That's saying conditional letters map provision through FEMA, which we've done.

1211
01:40:58,440 --> 01:41:01,740
But that will be required given where your site is at,

1212
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:03,020
because you're in the entire site,

1213
01:41:03,140 --> 01:41:04,420
essentially, in the height of your floodplain.

1214
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,080
Yeah, again, we can't take this any further,

1215
01:41:07,860 --> 01:41:10,480
until we get the reactors and the clarifier size,

1216
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:12,360
which is all dependent on this sampling.

1217
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:17,520
So for the short term, we should consider the possibility

1218
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:19,440
that we may need new velocity.

1219
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:23,200
I'm sorry, I do want that if you're there.

1220
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:26,120
We may need a new plant location.

1221
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:28,520
we don't doubt until we get this finalized.

1222
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:32,420
Now, he's pretty confident that the letter of mapperagation,

1223
01:41:32,700 --> 01:41:35,180
but the FEMA floodplain that currently shown on site

1224
01:41:35,180 --> 01:41:37,640
is so far off that it's not going to be initial.

1225
01:41:40,890 --> 01:41:44,890
So he's done, I count on him to give me this information

1226
01:41:44,890 --> 01:41:46,470
because he's done this all a lot.

1227
01:41:47,310 --> 01:41:50,070
So basically FEMA, they take a higher floodplain

1228
01:41:50,070 --> 01:41:51,830
and they just throw on a map.

1229
01:41:52,730 --> 01:41:56,610
They don't really follow contours and shot grades per se.

1230
01:41:56,610 --> 01:42:02,990
And so sometimes those, the actual hundred-year floodplain is not correct, he thinks the

1231
01:42:02,990 --> 01:42:08,850
covered area on the current floodplain is excessive that they're showing, and it's not

1232
01:42:08,850 --> 01:42:14,810
accurate, which he's probably right given how wide that downstream area that it stretches

1233
01:42:14,810 --> 01:42:20,590
down by the bank, because it gets very wide down there. And that's not implemented on the theme

1234
01:42:20,590 --> 01:42:27,750
to show those contours. So he believes that, yes, we'll have the proposed buildings intact

1235
01:42:27,750 --> 01:42:32,770
with a manager flooded. Yes, more than the point-one inches that you're allowed. However,

1236
01:42:33,310 --> 01:42:37,530
there's a way around this. And that's a letter that we've stated that FEMA basically has the

1237
01:42:37,530 --> 01:42:43,870
wrong hundred year flood plant on their drawings. So you have a fairly high degree of confidence

1238
01:42:43,870 --> 01:42:49,450
that we can cite in the plant at the current location. I do, because we've done this before.

1239
01:42:53,710 --> 01:42:54,310
So

1240
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:58,740
that's the wastewater treatment plant design.

1241
01:42:59,440 --> 01:43:00,580
Tuscill oil is ongoing.

1242
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,380
We finally got drawings from the membrane manufacture.

1243
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:05,960
We are working on this week.

1244
01:43:06,740 --> 01:43:10,640
I see no reason why that project cannot be put out to fit this fall

1245
01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:11,480
as scheduled.

1246
01:43:11,980 --> 01:43:13,480
So I believe we're on that schedule.

1247
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:15,480
The new maintenance building,

1248
01:43:15,480 --> 01:43:21,660
Paul touched on, pre-construction meeting was held on August 14th, I believe, for minutes

1249
01:43:21,660 --> 01:43:27,080
for that meeting, or in your board packet, to contract a plan to mobilize this week or

1250
01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:31,300
next at the latest, and that is approximately a one-year duration of process.

1251
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:34,320
Questions on that?

1252
01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:35,300
Questions?

1253
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:38,470
Thank you.

1254
01:43:39,330 --> 01:43:46,330
The next is Greenfield Forzmay, this was received today, the 2024 cost estimate was 1.2

1255
01:43:46,330 --> 01:43:57,670
I believe the bid of the Arcane K-Project was right around 1.1 million in 2020 to 2023, don't quote me on that.

1256
01:43:58,150 --> 01:44:04,570
By 2024 estimate was 1.2 million. However, that did not include, obviously, two years worth of inflation.

1257
01:44:06,190 --> 01:44:11,450
But a property owner did not want us to open cut the portion of the 8-inch force name.

1258
01:44:11,450 --> 01:44:18,710
So we had to horizontal directionally drill about 400 feet of plankton that area.

1259
01:44:19,670 --> 01:44:27,270
On the low bid that particular low bid contractor bid that worth $593 a foot.

1260
01:44:28,210 --> 01:44:35,330
So that was about $200,000 worth of uninticipated cost because of a design change.

1261
01:44:36,290 --> 01:44:40,990
The last thing I will add was there was a rock excavation

1262
01:44:40,990 --> 01:44:48,570
flaws that we added, that the contractors asked that we add. Basically, we said, as soon

1263
01:44:48,570 --> 01:44:52,590
that there's going to be 500 cubic yards of Roth for removal was part of the project.

1264
01:44:52,590 --> 01:44:59,790
So the low beat came in today of Schneider-Vominal Services, it was one.

1265
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:12,580
1897,430 dollars. I was hoping it was going to be over at 1.6 to 1.7. If I'm being honest, it was 1.89.

1266
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:25,720
I believe the second

1267
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:27,480
that the efficient cost estimate.

1268
01:45:29,700 --> 01:45:31,520
So yeah, that was we just caught off the press.

1269
01:45:31,780 --> 01:45:34,480
That was the bid contractor, Schneider Environmental Services,

1270
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:37,920
the Apparent Love, and did repeat that didn't happen.

1271
01:45:38,140 --> 01:45:43,400
I just seemed like they had everything that was required to submit the bid.

1272
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:47,660
All the occasions obviously they had, because they've done a lot of work for us in the past.

1273
01:45:49,460 --> 01:45:53,780
So my plan there is to issue a recommendation by our two to board,

1274
01:45:53,780 --> 01:45:57,180
to award that contract for next season.

1275
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:04,760
The Asbury Church Area Assume Replacement Project

1276
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:06,940
for still waiting on that easement.

1277
01:46:07,060 --> 01:46:08,360
Once we've received that project,

1278
01:46:08,440 --> 01:46:10,500
we'll go out to the bit of blowing the springs

1279
01:46:10,500 --> 01:46:11,220
pump station.

1280
01:46:11,420 --> 01:46:14,360
We did receive the Bureau of Public Health Construction

1281
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:14,980
permit.

1282
01:46:15,580 --> 01:46:18,100
That designs considered 98% complete

1283
01:46:18,100 --> 01:46:23,540
and it is on Hall's desk with Travis and Colin.

1284
01:46:25,220 --> 01:46:27,420
And one of those guys to take a look at it

1285
01:46:27,420 --> 01:46:29,680
before it goes out to bed to make sure we didn't miss anything.

1286
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:32,200
But we consider that project big,

1287
01:46:35,530 --> 01:46:35,530
right?

1288
01:46:37,190 --> 01:46:39,850
As said management plan, we didn't really have any changes

1289
01:46:39,850 --> 01:46:40,750
this past month.

1290
01:46:40,910 --> 01:46:42,470
That's just on an easy basis.

1291
01:46:43,250 --> 01:46:45,470
The ammonia sensors at the wastewater treatment plant

1292
01:46:45,470 --> 01:46:47,930
are still extremely helpful.

1293
01:46:48,310 --> 01:46:53,830
And they are catching a lot of high ammonia numbers values.

1294
01:46:54,290 --> 01:46:55,510
So they're very helpful.

1295
01:46:57,010 --> 01:47:01,890
The SBR Blower Issues, as far as I know they have not been an issue.

1296
01:47:02,350 --> 01:47:03,750
They've been running very well.

1297
01:47:04,430 --> 01:47:07,870
Blower number two has been the turn and reinstalled last month.

1298
01:47:08,790 --> 01:47:11,550
The Blower number three in the control valves are all replaced.

1299
01:47:12,290 --> 01:47:17,150
Massive flow sensors are installed, so I'd say the blowers right now are on an issue.

1300
01:47:17,330 --> 01:47:19,270
I'll probably take that off for next month.

1301
01:47:19,270 --> 01:47:21,750
And just some miscellaneous things.

1302
01:47:21,750 --> 01:47:24,130
I did participate in the test at your view.

1303
01:47:24,550 --> 01:47:27,730
I thought they did a great job as an engineering firm

1304
01:47:27,730 --> 01:47:30,510
presenting what they were going to give you in the P.E.R.

1305
01:47:31,210 --> 01:47:33,410
And I have done some very subdivision reviews

1306
01:47:33,910 --> 01:47:35,510
that we discussed earlier.

1307
01:47:37,090 --> 01:47:38,350
Questions or comments for me?

1308
01:47:39,450 --> 01:47:40,310
I think it's a little disturbing.

1309
01:47:41,330 --> 01:47:42,030
Thank you.

1310
01:47:42,670 --> 01:47:43,650
Thank you very much.

1311
01:47:43,710 --> 01:47:44,650
I was very helpful.

1312
01:47:44,890 --> 01:47:45,470
Pretty information.

1313
01:47:45,470 --> 01:47:54,450
Other than there, because that's close to a 50% increase in that one project, but it might be said there are a lot of factors involved.

1314
01:47:55,230 --> 01:47:55,290
Yeah.

1315
01:47:57,850 --> 01:48:05,250
Thank you. Thanks. Next on our agenda then is approval of bills and we have two sets.

1316
01:48:05,250 --> 01:48:15,600
But I think skipped our earlier August, so we'll start with a, I guess, 12.26, 12.26, 12.26.

1317
01:48:15,970 --> 01:48:18,890
Unfortunately, the ASS is moving.

1318
01:48:19,910 --> 01:48:30,130
And the second. All we gave her, that's the August 26, 12.26 per report, approval bills.

1319
01:48:31,380 --> 01:48:32,320
Motion.

1320
01:48:33,180 --> 01:48:33,400
Second.

1321
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:35,540
Second.

1322
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:36,360
All in favor.

1323
01:48:38,580 --> 01:48:38,680
Second.

1324
01:48:38,940 --> 01:48:39,700
Approved.

1325
01:48:39,700 --> 01:48:43,860
We'll go now to our executive session.

1326
01:48:44,220 --> 01:48:45,380
We have three.

1327
01:48:46,100 --> 01:48:47,820
I don't want to solve the executive session.

1328
01:48:49,220 --> 01:48:50,380
The first one.

1329
01:48:50,380 --> 01:48:54,380
It's update on West Virginia's ESC cases.

1330
01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:58,660
Executive session under provision.

1331
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:04,020
Let's see a code 6984B12.

1332
01:49:04,540 --> 01:49:06,120
We've discussed any matter.

1333
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:09,700
We've got expressed provision of federal law or state statute.

1334
01:49:10,220 --> 01:49:12,720
All rule court is mentioned in the description.

1335
01:49:13,300 --> 01:49:15,280
Or which is not considered a public record.

1336
01:49:15,740 --> 01:49:18,180
Within the meaning of the Federal Information Act,

1337
01:49:18,180 --> 01:49:22,720
I set forth in Article 1, Chapter 29, view the code.

1338
01:49:23,620 --> 01:49:26,560
You have a motion on that motion.

1339
01:49:27,380 --> 01:49:28,300
And a second, a second.

1340
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:31,380
All in favor, and I'm going to put them all three together,

1341
01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:33,300
so we don't have to come back in.

1342
01:49:33,420 --> 01:49:33,900
All in favor.

1343
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:37,460
Second, exactly the question.

1344
01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:41,060
Item is to discuss an ongoing official investigation.

1345
01:49:42,060 --> 01:49:42,280
Yes.

1346
01:49:42,420 --> 01:49:45,320
We do not have that.

1347
01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:48,380
unless Cindy has enough data on that Richard is not present.

1348
01:49:48,500 --> 01:49:50,160
You know, Richard, so we'll have to wait on that.

1349
01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:57,700
So we'll need a motion to table item B until our environmental attorney can be present.

1350
01:49:58,520 --> 01:49:59,860
So, in the second.

1351
01:50:00,780 --> 01:50:23,660
All in favour? Aye. Aye. And we'll go on to the third executive session item, which is possible executive session under the provision of what we need to code 69A-4B-8 to discuss internal memorandums or letters received or prepared in this case prepared by a public body.

1352
01:50:23,660 --> 01:50:27,320
We have motion to that motion.

1353
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:29,460
All in favor.

1354
01:50:30,410 --> 01:50:33,720
We'll be going into the executive session for two items.

1355
01:50:34,620 --> 01:50:35,380
I have a statement.

1356
01:50:36,300 --> 01:50:36,980
Thank you.

1357
01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:43,320
You all in there.

1358
01:50:56,430 --> 01:50:57,550
Pass is there.

1359
01:51:06,810 --> 01:51:09,190
We have it to the counter.

1360
01:51:11,090 --> 01:51:11,910
We have it to the counter.

1361
01:51:11,910 --> 01:51:15,970
I think you could add better from the floor then.

1362
01:51:16,530 --> 01:51:16,930
Yeah.

1363
01:51:16,930 --> 01:51:17,510
Absolutely.

1364
01:51:18,010 --> 01:51:18,410
That information.

1365
01:51:19,530 --> 01:51:19,770
If it.

1366
01:51:20,810 --> 01:51:21,830
You mean to the minutes?

1367
01:51:22,690 --> 01:51:22,870
Yeah.

1368
01:51:23,110 --> 01:51:23,470
The Councillor.

1369
01:51:24,110 --> 01:51:24,230
So there.

1370
01:51:24,910 --> 01:51:25,370
So that.

1371
01:51:25,610 --> 01:51:26,830
Let's go back into session.

1372
01:51:28,150 --> 01:51:29,610
We are back into session.

1373
01:51:30,410 --> 01:51:31,250
Thank you very much.

1374
01:51:31,790 --> 01:51:32,790
What's not too long.

1375
01:51:33,710 --> 01:51:34,830
So we have a motion.

1376
01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:41,960
Motion.

1377
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:51,600
We have a move that we send the letter that was reviewed prepared by Council to send or

1378
01:51:55,560 --> 01:52:16,460
I would also move that we additionally send that email out to the list of people who are listed as being CCed out, but also add so when motorsports, I would say also what you're doing in that water and the ground group who's developing the potential data center at some point site.

1379
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:24,000
Patrick, if you're referring to Council as being me, I did not prepare the letter, but I did

1380
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:25,040
review it.

1381
01:52:25,460 --> 01:52:26,440
Reviewed by Council.

1382
01:52:26,700 --> 01:52:27,820
I'll amend my motion.

1383
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:34,540
But that was discussed in the executive session under our prior motion.

1384
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:37,560
So I would propose that we sent this letter.

1385
01:52:38,500 --> 01:52:39,240
Do we have a second?

1386
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:42,060
Do you have a question?

1387
01:52:42,380 --> 01:52:42,760
Any discussion?

1388
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:43,620
It's

1389
01:52:45,860 --> 01:52:46,780
a good signal.

1390
01:52:47,140 --> 01:52:48,020
All in favour?

1391
01:52:48,380 --> 01:52:48,700
All in favour?

1392
01:52:48,700 --> 01:52:48,900
All in favour?

1393
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,580
And a copy of the letter will be included in the package for the public.

1394
01:52:56,050 --> 01:52:56,450
Yes.

1395
01:53:00,260 --> 01:53:02,500
That takes us to the bottom of the agenda.

1396
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:06,300
Can I also have this school board over there?

1397
01:53:06,300 --> 01:53:06,760
Over there?

1398
01:53:07,100 --> 01:53:07,580
That's right.

1399
01:53:07,580 --> 01:53:07,780
That's right.

1400
01:53:10,420 --> 01:53:11,340
The final.

1401
01:53:12,900 --> 01:53:13,700
Sure, absolutely.

1402
01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:14,520
Thank you.

1403
01:53:15,020 --> 01:53:16,480
Yeah, as a public utility.

1404
01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:18,280
And get it off.

1405
01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:20,720
get it all out there, pass it over.

1406
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:24,360
At the end of the meeting, do we have a motion for adjourn?

1407
01:53:25,480 --> 01:53:26,600
Motion adjourn?

1408
01:53:26,700 --> 01:53:26,980
Second.

1409
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:29,840
All done?

1410
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:33,440
Two weeks for adjourn.

1411
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:35,640
The mayor has a little snow.

1412
01:53:36,180 --> 01:53:37,240
So we are wrong.

1413
01:53:37,380 --> 01:53:38,540
Do you have a second adjourn?

1414
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:41,160
Yes.

1415
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:43,400
We have a second adjourn.
