We've just of the 421 00:23:05,910 --> 00:23:05,725 coverage next year. And then 422 00:23:05,725 --> 00:23:07,894 that would be a bill full 423 00:23:07,894 --> 00:23:10,630 force in the future to of 424 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:10,630 funds and use it scores that 425 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:13,300 service should be no 426 00:23:13,132 --> 00:23:13,833 shortfall. Our coverage. And 427 00:23:13,833 --> 00:23:17,637 you can see over time we have 428 00:23:17,637 --> 00:23:21,274 not had the draw on that. So 429 00:23:21,274 --> 00:23:21,975 was changed since the 2011, 430 00:23:21,975 --> 00:23:24,975 issuance a couple of things. 431 00:23:25,378 --> 00:23:27,314 One. We have a doubt some of 432 00:23:27,314 --> 00:23:29,714 the death normal amortization. 433 00:23:30,116 --> 00:23:30,784 And then the remainder of the 434 00:23:30,784 --> 00:23:33,453 debt. 11 that has now been 435 00:23:33,453 --> 00:23:35,853 fully refunded. And the 436 00:23:36,456 --> 00:23:37,524 rebound today either has a 437 00:23:37,524 --> 00:23:38,491 surety bond. Where has its own 438 00:23:38,491 --> 00:23:40,126 reserve attached to it. So 439 00:23:40,126 --> 00:23:42,610 there really is no longer in 440 00:23:42,610 --> 00:23:45,610 need for this 6.9 billion we 441 00:23:46,566 --> 00:23:47,267 stay Unfortunately we're 442 00:23:47,267 --> 00:23:48,635 always looking at ways we can 443 00:23:48,635 --> 00:23:51,350 improve liquidity. When you 444 00:23:52,539 --> 00:23:55,539 look at our balance sheet, 445 00:23:55,575 --> 00:23:56,209 doesn't represent increase or 446 00:23:56,209 --> 00:23:59,209 cash or with we've always 447 00:23:59,245 --> 00:23:59,913 recorded as the city were just 448 00:23:59,913 --> 00:24:02,313 moving the dollars between 449 00:24:06,190 --> 00:24:07,254 great civilization. 5. So with 450 00:24:07,254 --> 00:24:07,921 that, we will be requesting 451 00:24:07,921 --> 00:24:11,521 the board to approve us to 452 00:24:11,858 --> 00:24:12,659 release the funds and put that 453 00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:15,161 in that removing him from this 454 00:24:15,161 --> 00:24:18,761 point to our cash or kill. 455 00:24:20,134 --> 00:24:22,236 There for any questions. Makes 456 00:24:22,236 --> 00:24:25,205 sense to me. Just curious. The 457 00:24:25,205 --> 00:24:28,205 ready, a similar. Find out 458 00:24:28,975 --> 00:24:31,344 what the wastewater side. So 459 00:24:31,344 --> 00:24:33,800 under the indenture the 460 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,181 ability to have every 461 00:24:35,181 --> 00:24:36,160 civilization although it 462 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:36,684 wasn't required to have So we 463 00:24:36,684 --> 00:24:39,684 we never established at the 464 00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:45,893 time. And then finally, Craig, 465 00:24:45,893 --> 00:24:47,127 you have just question. So 466 00:24:47,127 --> 00:24:49,330 water we seen going forward 467 00:24:49,330 --> 00:24:52,930 for the foreseeable year as it 468 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,435 relates to interest rates it's 469 00:24:54,435 --> 00:24:56,835 very interesting. Ends on 470 00:24:59,606 --> 00:25:00,307 which be you know, I think 471 00:25:00,307 --> 00:25:02,276 spreads. We generally expect 472 00:25:02,276 --> 00:25:05,276 continue to be in that. 473 00:25:08,182 --> 00:25:09,820 Spreads certain deals in upper 474 00:25:09,820 --> 00:25:10,551 3 to 4% to point rate. Still 475 00:25:10,551 --> 00:25:13,287 5, maybe a little bit north of 476 00:25:13,287 --> 00:25:14,321 5% with still some 477 00:25:14,321 --> 00:25:16,321 opportunities to potentially 478 00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:19,193 do reading teens. So I would 479 00:25:19,193 --> 00:25:21,695 say refunding cwa is really 480 00:25:21,695 --> 00:25:23,130 where we have opportunity. We 481 00:25:23,130 --> 00:25:26,130 are coming up quality in 482 00:25:28,369 --> 00:25:29,236 OCTOBER. In theory, as you 483 00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:31,839 move past a cold, start to 484 00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:34,608 some of the value funding. Is 485 00:25:34,608 --> 00:25:36,610 not where market is today. 486 00:25:36,610 --> 00:25:37,277 Margaret's can still move in 487 00:25:37,277 --> 00:25:39,546 our favor and week to week 488 00:25:39,546 --> 00:25:40,180 until after the holidays to 489 00:25:40,180 --> 00:25:41,682 refunds lead. That's what 490 00:25:41,682 --> 00:25:44,840 we're about know that there is 491 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,252 some opportunity, although the 492 00:25:45,252 --> 00:25:47,652 percent savings are pretty 493 00:25:52,826 --> 00:25:55,826 much. Okay. Is the disposition 494 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:58,933 of funds report? Several of 495 00:25:58,933 --> 00:25:59,800 you. You will recognize this 496 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,202 report from years past is very 497 00:26:02,202 --> 00:26:04,872 much aligns with our. Budget 498 00:26:04,872 --> 00:26:07,374 for were members. Its report 499 00:26:07,374 --> 00:26:09,743 is required by state statute. 500 00:26:09,743 --> 00:26:12,143 It basically just outlined 501 00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:12,946 going to this first winds 502 00:26:12,946 --> 00:26:15,946 throughout the year for the 503 00:26:16,851 --> 00:26:18,619 different categories. We are 504 00:26:18,619 --> 00:26:19,286 part once the board approves 505 00:26:19,286 --> 00:26:21,955 this report. He filed with 506 00:26:21,955 --> 00:26:25,555 controller at the We do not 507 00:26:25,860 --> 00:26:26,560 have any obligation.

So pass 511 00:26:39,540 --> 00:26:41,940 for questions. That concludes 512 00:26:43,811 --> 00:26:44,812 my report. I thank And then if 513 00:26:44,812 --> 00:26:46,247 there's no other discussion or 514 00:26:46,247 --> 00:26:49,247 questions, let's go ahead and 515 00:26:50,117 --> 00:26:53,717 move on to the approvals.
