1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:09,679
To the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which it

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:15,800
stands. One nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice

3
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:15,800
for all.

4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,600
» Here

5
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:37,480
» that agenda for motion.
>> Second.

6
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,480
» All in favor?

7
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:48,920
» All right. We got discussion of current
FY26 budget. I put that on because Jeff

8
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:48,920
had something he want to say.

9
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:01,359
with the talks of moving this building
over here and and and

10
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:05,519
turning that over to tourism.
Uh

11
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:11,840
when I went in there, when we put the
windows in with Greg, uh he opened the

12
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:16,400
back closet and
he pointed out what he thought was mold

13
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:23,600
all over the wall.
Is there any possible way in this budget

14
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:30,600
that we can get a mold test done in
there before we open that up this year

15
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,600
for the tourism

16
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,720
or we have to wait until
the next budget?

17
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,079
We have to see how much the mold test
would cost first.

18
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,119
» I'm sorry.
>> We need to see how much the B test would

19
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:04,119
cost. I mean,
>> I don't know how much the test would

20
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:04,119
run.

21
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,800
I would need to see the cost on that.
>> Would that would that be pro?

22
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,560
» You would need
some sort of bid.

23
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,640
» I don't I know how that slipped through
because I had mentioned it when we did

24
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,480
the
>> clean out.

25
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,200
» I never had a key to that room.
>> You don't have a key to it.

26
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:29,200
» That you're talking the closet in the
corner. In the corner behind you.

27
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,160
» You told me it was locked.
>> Yeah, it's locked. I don't have a key.

28
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:38,239
I didn't know what was in there.
>> Okay.

29
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,000
So, we need to get
you get for that.

30
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,959
» I would suggest that before we answer
the question. put into the current year

31
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:52,879
budget because
without knowing how much test cost

32
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,959
you don't have any idea what you're
talking about.

33
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:01,599
» So we put it all at a time.
>> I mean the answer to that is yes another

34
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:06,560
question. You're going to need to you're
going to need to get a price

35
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,560
on how much test it's going to cost
first.

36
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:13,720
All right.

37
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:21,040
» With that being said, are we going to
remodel that side as well,

38
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,480
» the walls and stuff like we did this
side?

39
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:26,959
» Cuz it's just old paneling.
>> That's going to have to be something to

40
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,920
» be budgeted, too.
>> We can't we can't do anything with that

41
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,000
until
>> everybody's until he's out, right? I

42
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:39,120
didn't know how quick they were to use
it. a turnaround was, you know,

43
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:43,280
» one and one in there now that
>> I mean, not that you couldn't use it

44
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,760
like that, but the one side's re redone.
All the panel was painted, the ceiling

45
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,440
tile was painted.
>> We could we could close off the one side

46
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,799
until budget time
>> and then Okay.

47
00:03:52,400 --> 00:04:00,080
» Yeah. And I that's what I would that
would be my recommendation.

48
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:05,360
We can't we can't let people in there if
that is black mold in that closet.

49
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,599
Yeah, my suggestion would be to
definitely

50
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:15,480
um
did that service out and find out how

51
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:15,480
much it cost.

52
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,040
» So, we just wait and
we can't let them in there until we find

53
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,560
out.
>> It may not be back. All

54
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,919
right, that's just tablet for now.
>> That needs to be uh tested. I'm going to

55
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,520
make a motion that we close that one
side off till we find out.

56
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,840
» I don't know if we can vote because we
don't have it on this cuz you didn't

57
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:55,520
tell me what you wanted on it. That's
not on it to vote. Can we

58
00:04:53,280 --> 00:05:00,639
don't think we can vote for that not
being on the agenda.

59
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:05,840
What do you think, Lane?
>> I don't think per Lance said without

60
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,560
with nothing being itemized on this, he
says you cannot vote as it's just a

61
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:13,520
discussion.
>> But we can do that next week on Tuesdays

62
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,479
though. You would do that to next
Tuesday.

63
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,680
» Y
>> that's what I that's why I asked you

64
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,759
when was talking.
>> Well, I was hoping we could do something

65
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:25,919
tonight where we could get the get the
test.

66
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,880
» Well, see people had a hidden agenda
that we didn't post what we were going

67
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,880
to talk about.
>> So, we'll take the next meeting. So

68
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,880
Lance asked me what was on the agenda
and he went okay I went through and he

69
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,800
just make sure they don't vote unless
it's the next meeting.

70
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:48,320
» Yeah, we're going to take
a motion.

71
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:52,560
» All right.
>> Okay.

72
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,560
The next discussion
u

73
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:05,120
I've got one thing for the budget if
that's okay. um on this thing with the

74
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:12,240
um the hood park.
The scoreboard had a controller that was

75
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:16,800
part of our parks,
actually part of that park because all

76
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,680
that was donated. So if the people do
not return the controller, do we have

77
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:24,720
the budget in the parks to provide them
with that controller so that

78
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,960
» Well, right now, Mr. Pitch, that's not
on this eater to discuss.

79
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,960
» It's on the budget. to discuss. Well,
it's something that we should consider.

80
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:36,720
And I'm just asking what's the budget
for the parks right now? Would it handle

81
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:43,199
a $1,200 controller?
>> Well, it's an item that's not um in the

82
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:48,400
budget. So, um with it being that large
of an item, we would have to look at the

83
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:51,919
um
facility as to where we would need to

84
00:06:50,479 --> 00:06:56,880
put that in.
>> So, we might put that on the next to see

85
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,800
if we can do that because They got to
have control over that that board. So

86
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:06,160
most people help.
>> But our is just the fields that we do.

87
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:08,639
We don't you know we don't
>> but it's up to the board. I mean the

88
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:13,039
board wants to do it.
>> But once the once the board once that

89
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:19,599
scoreboard was donated to us, it was
ours to to keep up and everything. So

90
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:24,319
» I can tell you this is in with the
attorney right now and he has not

91
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,560
provided a full answer.
>> Good. Okay,

92
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:34,120
» that was turned over to the attorney.
>> The missing

93
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,120
» everything in there. Okay.

94
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:41,360
» All right. Let's discuss this what I
just said. The LPUA

95
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:46,880
P electric bill payment plan and
approver.

96
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:53,360
» So, um I received our
February electric bill which is for the

97
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:57,520
January usage. I apologize. I'm sorry. I
can't talk very loud. I don't have a lot

98
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:00,759
of breath. My asthma is kind of inflated
right now.

99
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:10,120
I'll talk as loud as I can. Um the total
bill for January was 1,19,7427.

100
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:23,080
They have offered to withdraw on
February 18th 676,572.75

101
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:35,959
and the remaining balance owed from
Wintertorm Fern will be um $432

102
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:35,959
$432,5152.

103
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:48,839
um that remaining balance um will carry
forward with a potential interest of 5%

104
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,839
occurred over a 9-month period.

105
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,160
So,
um

106
00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:03,920
there is no way to tell on this bill
that you have in front of you whether

107
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:12,399
what is the normal versus what is firm.
Um I did speak with NPUA today and they

108
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:18,480
did say that the minimum they did um try
to give us on the first payment the

109
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:24,800
minimum bill looks like the cold would a
cold January but the exact amounts

110
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:32,800
aren't 100% tied out.
She did tell me that January began very

111
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:38,959
mild um and ended very um you know what
it did in winter harm. The natural gas

112
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:44,160
prices are what were driving this um
cost. They were 10 times higher than

113
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:51,200
normal. I can attest to that because our
natural gas um bill was doubled it for

114
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:57,279
award as well. This can all be verified
on the EIA website if you want to take a

115
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:03,200
look at that.
I did speak with our auditor to get some

116
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:06,200
consulting advice on how we should move
forward.

117
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:16,040
Payments will be approximately 50,000 a
month. So the first payment that we make

118
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:16,040
will be 676,572.75.

119
00:10:18,079 --> 00:10:25,680
the remaining balance split over 9
months. We could pay approximately 5% in

120
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:30,560
interest, but it could be less if they
get to use reserves. We don't know that

121
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:35,440
atro right now. We're they have to
consult um another board within their

122
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:39,680
organization.
The interest will be between 17 to

123
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,839
18,000.
The customer will pay their portion

124
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:48,800
through the PPA in both scenarios.
Whether we pay full price at one time or

125
00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:54,079
whether we pay payments
take approximately 3 months to pay back

126
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,120
the bills through the BPA.
I'm not approximately sure on the

127
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,360
payback how long it'll take.
>> How many how many months pay back?

128
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:06,560
» We think approximately three months, but
that's not confirmed. I could not get a

129
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:11,279
hold of likely to design the PPA. We
think approximately three months. could

130
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:18,720
be longer
um but we think approximately three

131
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:26,880
months. So my recommendation since um is
to do the um pay over 9 months because

132
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:31,720
you're going to deplete your cash flow
in the electric department. You have

133
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:39,839
more than just
worrying about getting back up. You have

134
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,519
large projects that are coming out. You
also have at the end of the year

135
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:46,720
transfers into other departments that
you have to pay back and you don't want

136
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:51,279
to strap your electric department over
time. You do not have the cash flow to

137
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:59,760
pay this pay this down and worry about
strapping your electric department. This

138
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:03,200
will give you the time to um raise
the cash flow back up to where it needs

139
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:07,360
to be and you won't be strapping that
electric department down.

140
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,880
You recommended nine months
>> do

141
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,240
it's on the advice of the auditor. The
auditor and I spoke and this is what he

142
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,480
recommended as well.
>> Will it be a pass through to the people?

143
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,680
I'm sure.
>> Yes, it will.

144
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:25,680
» What if uh we haven't another storm in
two or three weeks or what if it gets

145
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:29,360
really really hot during this time we're
paying this back and it gets into peak

146
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,760
again
>> again? I can't unfortunately I don't

147
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:38,000
have those answers because those
situations haven't haven't occurred. I

148
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:42,800
can tell you that when I sat on the
phone call on January 28th with the rest

149
00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:47,040
of our group, those questions did come
up and they said we have to tighten our

150
00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:51,360
belt. We have to do better. Our reserves
within our organization have been

151
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:57,279
depleted and we are trying to get those
reserves within our organization within

152
00:12:53,360 --> 00:13:07,839
the member cities back up. So, and did
you say that normally we paid $30 per

153
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:14,320
MHz and it the peak went up to $500 per
>> I would say around we I would say we're

154
00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:19,600
normally paying I think I saw um I think
I saw somewhere where we it went you

155
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:25,279
could say approximately 30 I'm not going
to say that 100% that's accurate but

156
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:30,480
yeah you could say we were paying maybe
it would jump

157
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:40,639
I don't have those sheets in front of me
but it was 30 to 40,000 in the natural

158
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:45,760
gas is what we would normally pay but um
on the electric side

159
00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:52,160
we're paying for demand. So the demand
over winter storm burn went up 10fold

160
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:57,440
and it was based on natural gas prices.
So the natural gas price went up 10

161
00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:02,160
times what it normally is. And this
happens every few years because if you

162
00:13:58,959 --> 00:14:08,160
remember a storm Yuri,
we had the same same effect. And I

163
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:12,480
looked back at natural gas prices
um for I had to do this for the auditor

164
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:19,680
not too long ago and the same effect
happened back with um wintertorm Yuri as

165
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:23,279
well. We saw the same effect not so many
years ago with Wintertorm Yuri. We're

166
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:27,760
seeing the same thing. We've been
significantly lucky with our winter

167
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:33,360
storms that we haven't seen the same
effect happen

168
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:40,800
um with the prices. I will let you know
that they were they did have to shoot

169
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:46,240
out some $900 per kilowatt hour um
electric. I don't know what cities got

170
00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:51,519
got hit with that, but they did say that
they had to purchase those powers. Um um

171
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:56,320
some of them was in the $400 to $500
ranges where they they transmitted that

172
00:14:53,680 --> 00:15:00,079
electric. We don't know. We just sit on
these calls and they tell us this

173
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:03,279
information and they do the best they
can to purchase it. But when the demand

174
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:06,240
gets high, they have to purchase at high
prices.

175
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,959
» Now, this is based this isn't based on
our usage. It's based on a conglomerate.

176
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:13,600
» Um no, this would be based on what we
paid.

177
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:17,519
» Yeah.
>> General.

178
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:19,839
» Did we peak in electric and peak in gas?
We did.

179
00:15:18,079 --> 00:15:23,440
» Yeah, we did.
>> Okay.

180
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:29,760
» I mean, you can look and she said um
last month we used 7 approximately 7.1

181
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:36,720
um in December because the prior month
energy charge was 7.1.

182
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:40,639
The in the current month in January it
was 7.7 kilowatt hour.

183
00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:42,639
» I got you.
>> So

184
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:50,839
» So you're talking about interest on
this. We're talking 17 18,000 per month

185
00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:50,839
interest. for eight or nine months.

186
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:59,040
» That I wrote that down, too. So, that's
kind of how you worded it. So, is it 9

187
00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:06,639
months and a total of 17 or 18,000?
>> So, it be 450,000 and total

188
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,560
approximately um additional
payment.

189
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:13,519
» So,
>> 400 and some thousand,000

190
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,759
per month approximately.
>> Do we have that reserves? at the back

191
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:22,399
reserves right now. Could we pay this
bill and save the citizen $450,000?

192
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,279
» Cut your reserves in half.
>> Huh?

193
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:30,399
» I don't think you I me personally I
don't want to cut this the tax the uh

194
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,480
electric department's reserves in half.
>> How much do we have electric fund right

195
00:16:31,839 --> 00:16:34,560
now?
>> We have

196
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:39,920
» And then how much do we have reserves?
>> We have 2.6 million in reserves.

197
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:44,959
and in the count of the electric too or
just two in the reserves and two in

198
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:50,800
electric
>> and you're going to spend three or 400

199
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:56,079
million um right off the bat um on a
huge project and you have other projects

200
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:59,920
within the city that you have to do.
>> Yeah, but we're going to get this money

201
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:06,279
monthly back is what I'm saying. I I
just hate to pass on

202
00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:06,279
interest.

203
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:14,120
I get it. But
>> are you saying $19,000

204
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:14,120
a month?

205
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:22,240
» 17 to 18.
Is that per month?

206
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:26,439
» Or is that $19,000?
N

207
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:26,439
» is Yeah.

208
00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:42,799
» The way you worded it, it said months 5%
interest at 17 18,000. So that would be

209
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:47,600
a month
>> at least. So yeah.

210
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:52,480
» Okay. So that's per square month.
>> We we can try to pay it off and I

211
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:56,960
believe we can pay it off because we got
the money coming back

212
00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,600
in. But I don't get to vote on this. But
that's just my opinion.

213
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,960
» I want to say $450,000.
Because you know what? Even in our

214
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:14,559
budget for 9 months, we're going to
budget this so much per month next year

215
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:19,360
budget so we can pay it off. And how
much interest would we get out of these

216
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:22,640
uh reserves anyway?
>> We're not getting any interest. We voted

217
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:27,760
to put all the interest in the general
fund. The general fund would not have to

218
00:18:25,919 --> 00:18:30,880
borrow any. So all the interest stays in
the general fund.

219
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:33,840
» I did it any way possible at all. Pay
himself.

220
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:39,200
» But that's up to this board. You want to
go 9 months? That's up to you all.

221
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:44,080
» Okay. Well, hold on. 9 months at $18,000
is only $162,000.

222
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:48,640
» You said $400 and something. So,
>> it's 50 It's 50,000 a month

223
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:52,840
approximately
is the payment because it's $432,000

224
00:18:52,880 --> 00:19:03,600
at 550,000 a month. I made 450,000.
>> Yeah. 50,000 a month in the payment. But

225
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:06,400
you said 480 something,000 in interest.
Yeah,

226
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,760
» you 162,000.
>> Did you?

227
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,559
» Oh, yeah. Maybe I It's been a long day,
guys. And they haven't even made their

228
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:18,160
payment schedule. Sorry.
>> That's all right.

229
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:22,799
» I I raised a payment on APY. Uh and they
gave me $50,000. That's what they told

230
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,480
me. Approximately $50,000
$50,000 a month for payment.

231
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:32,320
» And they haven't gave you the full
payment schedule yet. So, I apologize.

232
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:39,440
And that's over and above.
>> And the said 17 to 18,000 total. And I

233
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:41,600
wish I wish I hadation schedule, but I
don't

234
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,080
amount.
>> So we'd only be 162,000 in interest. Is

235
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,760
that what you're saying?
>> The interest would be on the full

236
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:53,919
amount, the 1 million sum, right?
>> No, because we're paying 676,500

237
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:57,360
right off the bat.
>> Then it would be on the

238
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:03,000
left,
>> whatever number that was.

239
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
$432,515232,510.

240
00:20:27,919 --> 00:20:32,840
» All right. 600,000 on 11

241
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:37,799
500,000.

242
00:20:39,919 --> 00:20:49,520
» Well,
432 and 162 the whole 9 months

243
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:54,799
9 months
432

244
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:58,039
instead of taking half return
about 225,000

245
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:12,000
We got next Tuesday, right?
>> We got to the 18th.

246
00:21:10,159 --> 00:21:15,760
» The 18th and they will automatically
>> why we call the special meeting.

247
00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:20,320
» When's the next meeting?
>> The 17th.

248
00:21:18,159 --> 00:21:23,840
» Would it help if we moved on to the next
thing and you know

249
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,440
» like went to your office and figured
something out?

250
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,440
» I can do that.

251
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:41,440
If if the reserve is 2 and a2 million
and the bill is a million one, we're

252
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:46,880
already going to pay 600,000. You're not
going to need that reserve. I know half

253
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,200
you're going to be taking 47,000 out the
reserve.

254
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,799
» Yes.
>> And you're going to pay if you don't use

255
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:59,440
your reserve, then you're going to pay
180 leverage interest.

256
00:21:55,039 --> 00:22:04,159
» I know. So simple a minimum
>> on simple interest is about $17,000

257
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:07,679
total interest um
>> per month

258
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:11,039
» per total interest for 9 months.
>> Yeah. Per month.

259
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:15,840
» And the interest would be $1,800 a
month.

260
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:18,799
» Also the 50,000 tax to the next month.
>> Month. Okay.

261
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,799
» So we have another big letd down. We're
going to have another million dollar

262
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:28,320
bill plus 50,000.
So where is the 676,000

263
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:33,760
coming from?
>> The down payment we have to make it

264
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:37,919
would come from our electric
bill from our electric

265
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:43,440
» electric cash.
>> So then it'd be 432501

266
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,400
would come from reserves if we paid the
whole thing.

267
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,559
» No, it would come from our electric
cash.

268
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:55,200
» Electric.
>> It doesn't come from reserves until

269
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,840
over
if it's 9 month.

270
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:07,840
» No, she said total. You said
>> simple interest is 17,000 total.

271
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:12,480
» 17,000 total.
>> No, she saidal. Simple.

272
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:16,480
» That's what was throwing me off. I was
like,

273
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:23,320
» that's only $17,000.
>> Mhm.

274
00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:23,320
» A for 9 months. It's $1,800 a month.

275
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:29,520
» Most students
and

276
00:23:26,159 --> 00:23:34,320
» I mean I I will verify that um with MPA,
but they're going to give us a schedule.

277
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:41,080
» Can we wait till Tuesday to make a
decision on this and the next morning

278
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:41,080
you let them know

279
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:51,200
» and you can get all the information for
us to make sure that it's right.

280
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:54,720
I don't I don't know if it's that or
this is an auto they autoraph this.

281
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,039
» Oh
>> So I don't

282
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:05,120
» stop.
>> Can we vote on this?

283
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:09,280
And that's pending. You're right on your
information.

284
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:13,600
» I will verify tomorrow
because this ties us up for nine months.

285
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:20,320
And if we have another problem,
>> we got another bill. We got another

286
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:22,080
interest. Well, how how would we pay it?
Payments

287
00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:28,559
» for 9 months.
>> I I would say for your 1,800 for 9

288
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:31,600
months and then if we pay it off early,
>> get the numbers in like you're talking

289
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,760
about
>> 18,000 for 9 months,

290
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:36,400
» right?
>> You said 1,800.

291
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,480
» Well, 1800.
>> Okay.

292
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,039
» Can we pay that off earlier? They still
going to charge it that percent.

293
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:45,679
» We can't pay it off early.
>> A lot of loans are you pay that percent

294
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:47,600
you pay it off early. There's nothing in
the writing that says we can pay it off

295
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:52,000
early.
>> Can't pay it off early.

296
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,640
» I think so.
>> Well,

297
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,679
this is truth.
>> I remember that now.

298
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,679
» My opinion is pay the whole thing, but
that's up to this board.

299
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:09,279
» I'm kind of there.
>> I heard there too. I'm going that way

300
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:16,919
too. Are there any projects that we
could take out of capital improvement to

301
00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:16,919
improve the cash for electric?

302
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:23,440
» No.
>> We got to do that

303
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,600
and we got to improve it. We're not
going to improve.

304
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:35,760
» This board
>> has this ever happened before.

305
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:39,039
» When was that? Um,
>> did you pay it off or did you go

306
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:41,440
» We're still paying it off.
>> Is that 1.2 that we talked about

307
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,360
earlier?
>> We paid it off. That was the 1.2.

308
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,240
» So, the customers paid it back over a
2-year time and we're paying it back

309
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,240
over a 5year period.
>> Okay.

310
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:57,400
» So, we're still paying on the last.
>> Yeah, that's the long.

311
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,919
pay the total bill and take it out of it
reserves what we need and pay back the

312
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:12,720
reserves.
>> We can't take it out of reserves or

313
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:17,120
» out of the electric reserves
>> you

314
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:20,720
take it out of your cash but
>> it comes out of your regular budget and

315
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:22,720
once your budget is exhausted then you
hit your reserves.

316
00:26:21,679 --> 00:26:24,799
» Yeah.
>> Unfortunately

317
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:29,200
» $10 something.
>> Yeah. I pay the bill

318
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:33,520
» and then we can pay it back when we get
it in.

319
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:37,360
» Yeah. We get it in slowly x back in.
>> So the customers will pay a portion of

320
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:41,840
this. It hits their PPA
>> and if we need it if we need a rate

321
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:46,559
adjustment and the electric we should
study that and get a

322
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:51,360
» we know that but just say
>> we all this time

323
00:26:48,159 --> 00:26:57,600
» is we we're not discussing. I made a
motion that we pay in full.

324
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,600
also did the thing.
>> Hey,

325
00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:05,440
yes.
>> Yes.

326
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:09,039
» Where am I?
>> Yes.

327
00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:12,400
» Yes.
>> Yes.

328
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,760
» Yes.
>> Can it be done?

329
00:27:13,919 --> 00:27:18,960
» It's going to totally limit your cash
flow in the electric department. It's

330
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,720
not my recommendation and it's really
not yours.

331
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,120
» It can be done.
>> So, what happens if we have an ice

332
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,960
storm? We got reserves.
>> Yeah.

333
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,880
» 2 what? Five.
>> 2.6. Right now,

334
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,520
» our reserves are for emergency.
>> Yeah.

335
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,400
1.5,
>> but you transfer into your general fund

336
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,840
every year.
>> What's our $2.6 million draw at the

337
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:43,360
bank?
>> Your 2.6 does nothing in your electric

338
00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:47,120
department. It goes to your general
fund,

339
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:52,880
» right? But is it in the bank?
>> It's a variable um

340
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:57,039
variable every month. So it's roughly
about two 2% at the bank, but it does

341
00:27:55,120 --> 00:28:01,600
nothing for your electric department,
>> right? But we can if the electric part

342
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,679
department needs money, we can pull
money out of the reserves to help them.

343
00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:12,000
Correct?
>> So I'd rather draw 2% interest than pay

344
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:15,159
5%. That's just the way that
>> I think.

345
00:28:17,679 --> 00:28:23,279
It's already passed.
Yes or no?

346
00:28:24,159 --> 00:28:29,000
Well, trying to state a citizen a lot
here.
