562
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:04,140
many chickens can be over there since

563
00:22:04,140 --> 00:22:06,240
it's a bigger area than a normal city

564
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,980
law right and we're talking about

565
00:22:07,980 --> 00:22:09,900
Edwards Edition and their request to

at volunteer hall right here

00:22:32,460 --> 00:22:36,419
and uh Greg Ellis was sort of back in

576
00:22:36,419 --> 00:22:38,880
the saddle and uh you know he'd been on

577
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,860
the my net board and city manager at

578
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:42,840
Independence for some time and it was

579
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,830
good to have him

580
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,880
um we also got a very interesting report

581
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,640
from our new it manager Brian Thurman

582
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,559
and Brian is a quite a sharp fellow and

583
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:56,640
was involved with some of the security

584
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,700
audits that we had that was conducted uh

585
00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:03,000
oh like a year ago I guess but anyway

586
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,179
he's uh he is going to be really a

587
00:23:06,179 --> 00:23:09,480
valuable asset to us

588
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,120
there's been some discussion in in a

589
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:14,280
report from Dawn and then and then we

590
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,440
discussed uh sort of at the tertiary

591
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,460
level uh ways to expand the the revenue

592
00:23:20,460 --> 00:23:23,880
potential for my net uh you all have

593
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,980
read the sort of the recalibration of

594
00:23:25,980 --> 00:23:28,260
the number of addresses that are

595
00:23:28,260 --> 00:23:30,780
actually available on the penetration

596
00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:33,299
percentage and so on uh and it became

597
00:23:33,299 --> 00:23:35,760
clear that we need to find a new Revenue

598
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,600
stream new revenue streams and so there

599
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,080
was some discussion on that uh this the

600
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,940
finance committee is working on some of

601
00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:47,760
the impacts Financial impacts

602
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,679
um of expanding our footprint of

603
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:52,140
developing a data center

604
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:53,940
um and then as well as the purchase

605
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:57,260
service model which yet is yet to be

606
00:23:57,260 --> 00:24:00,179
sort of hashed out

607
00:24:00,179 --> 00:24:05,580
um they did identify that uh uh what the

608
00:24:05,580 --> 00:24:07,200
and reported

609
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,179
um and I think I almost maybe in the

610
00:24:09,179 --> 00:24:11,600
scotch sport I'm not sure but but

611
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,500
monmouth's a portion of the debt service

612
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:20,400
for the period ending uh December 1.

613
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,059
um will be 409 thousand dollars and I'm

614
00:24:24,059 --> 00:24:25,919
not sure if that hit on our projections

615
00:24:25,919 --> 00:24:28,919
but I'm assuming it's about what

616
00:24:28,919 --> 00:24:34,320
um what we'd anticipated so there's plenty of work to be done I I'm

617
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,820
really pretty excited about some of the

618
00:24:35,820 --> 00:24:37,860
new people that we had we did have a

619
00:24:37,860 --> 00:24:40,140
conversation about the marketing we did

620
00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:42,120
a conversation about some of the

621
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:45,120
channels channels that are provided and

622
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:49,140
have been eliminated uh providers are

623
00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:51,539
jacking prices fairly dramatically in

624
00:24:51,539 --> 00:24:54,240
some instances for for reasons that are

625
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:59,700
unclear but but they nonetheless are so

626
00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:02,280
um I I think we're getting closer to a

627
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,100
more finite discussion on on increasing

628
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:08,039
our revenue revenue sources uh which

629
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:09,960
would make us much more fiscally uh

630
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,539
sound we will meet in December I don't

631
00:25:12,539 --> 00:25:14,580
have that date right in front of me but

632
00:25:14,580 --> 00:25:17,780
it's I think the third Thursday

633
00:25:17,780 --> 00:25:20,940
in December so

634
00:25:20,940 --> 00:25:22,980
and that concludes my report for any

635
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:26,340
questions or thanks Tony John did you

636
00:25:26,340 --> 00:25:28,140

we have a parade in town

649
00:25:55,980 --> 00:25:58,220
we like one of the tallest living

650
00:25:58,220 --> 00:26:01,740
holiday trees in North America and that

651
00:26:01,740 --> 00:26:03,840

around 6 30. this will be the first time

00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,020
president Fuller has had the honor of

655
00:26:12,020 --> 00:26:14,279
helping put that switch so I'm looking

656
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:16,260
forward to that and then I'll post a

657
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:17,760
turnout for that

658
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,919
anybody else

659
00:26:19,919 --> 00:26:26,289
you say will be on campus yeah

660
00:26:26,299 --> 00:26:29,400
city manager report just a couple items

661
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,080
a little bit of development Activity The

662
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,640
Stadium Apartments apparently they're

663
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,960
actually starting to work again that's

664
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,340
what's been kind of fallow for the whole

665
00:26:35,340 --> 00:26:36,600
summer but they're they're getting back

666
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,880
on that uh mistletoe subdivision that's

667
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,919
our new subdivision out very west of

668
00:26:40,919 --> 00:26:42,059
town

669
00:26:42,059 --> 00:26:43,320
um we're doing something different on

670
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,120
that project typically you get all your

671
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:46,919
improvements done then you get your

672
00:26:46,919 --> 00:26:49,679
final plot done you can sell Lots with

673
00:26:49,679 --> 00:26:51,720
the weather we it was iffy on getting

674
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,520
good Paving done so for the first time

675
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,919
ever we're actually going to hold the

676
00:26:55,919 --> 00:26:57,840
final lift until the spring and start

677
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,580
working out some agreements with them so

678
00:26:59,580 --> 00:27:01,380
we can let them move forward but then we

679
00:27:01,380 --> 00:27:03,120
get a good product at the end so it's

680
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:04,559
something that you know protects our

681
00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:06,299
need to maintain the streets in the

682
00:27:06,299 --> 00:27:07,799
proper manner for our citizens but then

683
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:09,000
it shows flexibility towards the

684
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,620
developer once that get going selling

685
00:27:10,620 --> 00:27:12,679
lot so that was a good move all around

686
00:27:12,679 --> 00:27:14,640
finalized it

687
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,860
um Chuck Thurman and I met with Senator

688
00:27:16,860 --> 00:27:19,080
Winters talk about electrical issues

689
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,360
electrical industry issues

690
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:23,220
kind of the ongoing us getting drug into

691
00:27:23,220 --> 00:27:24,480
a lot of other things that we don't need

692
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,059
to be bothered with but that tends to be

693
00:27:27,059 --> 00:27:28,320
kind of what's going on at the moment so

694
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,840
we had a good discussion with her

695
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,580
um a different one did anybody know

696
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:34,679
about these Zimbabwean Music Festival we

697
00:27:34,679 --> 00:27:37,020
had last year I discovered it as I

698
00:27:37,020 --> 00:27:38,580
walked through campus but that was about

699
00:27:38,580 --> 00:27:40,559
it yeah I didn't get advertised a whole

700
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:41,880
bunch I think they were maybe this first

701
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,039
time time on site but they um I actually

702
00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:45,600
had a discussion with the president kind

703
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,740
of working through Steve had a

704
00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:48,120
connection floating into him at a good

705
00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:49,200
discussion with the president they're

706
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,360
coming back in 2016. so we're talking

707
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,159
about ways that we can enhance it get

708
00:27:53,159 --> 00:27:54,600
the word out better help them out with

709
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,640
sponsorship if they can make it work

710
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,260
potentially this might become their home

711
00:27:58,260 --> 00:28:00,179
base they tend to rotate around the

712
00:28:00,179 --> 00:28:01,919
western states and they've been in

713
00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:04,380
Corvallis a couple times Portland and

714
00:28:04,380 --> 00:28:07,380
California Idaho but um if this kind of

715
00:28:07,380 --> 00:28:08,580
works out here so we're hoping we can

716
00:28:08,580 --> 00:28:09,720
work with them and get a team put

717
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,580
together we can really promote that and

718
00:28:11,580 --> 00:28:13,559
make that into a real event to actually

719
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:15,299
be here they get people actually from

720
00:28:15,299 --> 00:28:17,159
Zimbabwe I mean people are coming in

721
00:28:17,159 --> 00:28:18,299
from around the country but they

722
00:28:18,299 --> 00:28:19,620
actually do get artists accustomed to

723
00:28:19,620 --> 00:28:22,440
buffering and what time of each summer

724
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,600

business agenda and that is our solid

746
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,980
weight rate adjustment and then if you

747
00:29:22,980 --> 00:29:26,340
all want to come up and uh name and city

748
00:29:26,340 --> 00:29:28,200
for the record

749
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,940
they do some background instrument if I

750
00:29:29,940 --> 00:29:32,100
could yeah yeah absolutely just kind of

751
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:33,720
the basic on the agenda we got a rate

752
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,220
adjustment requested it's an eight

753
00:29:35,220 --> 00:29:37,740
percent rate increase uh we restructured

754
00:29:37,740 --> 00:29:39,360
rates as you remember along with

755
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,640
services in 2009

756
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,220
um we did a great adjustment 2009 I'm

757
00:29:44,220 --> 00:29:46,200
sorry 2012.

758
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,960
um big drivers at the time or tipping

759
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,520
fees of the landfill they keep popping

760
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,200
those up although we had good words to

761
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,820
actually negotiate so hopefully hold

762
00:29:53,820 --> 00:29:55,799
that for at least a little bit but those

763
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:58,620
out pretty well on the insurance repairs

764
00:29:58,620 --> 00:29:59,640
and maintenance not just different

765
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,039
salaries and so they're they're actually

766
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:04,140
current basically not making money

767
00:30:04,140 --> 00:30:05,700
they're not losing money but not really

768
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:07,020
thinking so

769
00:30:07,020 --> 00:30:08,820
um they requested the increase you did

770
00:30:08,820 --> 00:30:10,260
have a member in your packet that has

771
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:12,120
some more details and then Aston

772
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,440
dentists are here if you have any

773
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,720
questions and go ahead thank you I'm

774
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,899
Estelle Harlan uh Solid Waste Management

775
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:19,520
Consultant

776
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,899
f1952 Northeast Spindrift Court Lincoln

777
00:30:21,899 --> 00:30:25,080
City Oregon and I've been a long time uh

778
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,760
solid ice Management Consultant for

779
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,700
Brands and as your city manager just

780
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:32,880
told you we were here in 2009 a bit of

781
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,380
history that was in the packet but I

782
00:30:34,380 --> 00:30:36,000
think it's important for you to

783
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,100
understand that this company has done

784
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:40,320
its best to just stay efficient and

785
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,320
effective and has not been in here every

786
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,200
year looking for a rate increase so in

787
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,580
2009 they did do program only that was

788
00:30:50,580 --> 00:30:52,679
carts the automating carts that was

789
00:30:52,679 --> 00:30:54,779
probably the most life-changing for both

790
00:30:54,779 --> 00:30:57,299
the community and of our operations for

791
00:30:57,299 --> 00:30:59,220
Brands because they were able to get yes

792
00:30:59,220 --> 00:31:02,600
the recycling the yard debris and the

793
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,039
solid waste program but there was

794
00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,799
nothing in that year for overall

795
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:10,140
increases it was programs only the the

796
00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:14,580
previous last increase was in 2005. so

797
00:31:14,580 --> 00:31:18,000
as your city manager said in in 2012 a

798
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,220
seven year span there we did come back

799
00:31:20,220 --> 00:31:24,720
in then for uh an overall increase for

800
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:25,940
per for

801
00:31:25,940 --> 00:31:31,020
operations we were the the 3.78 cents

802
00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:33,899
that was uh approved affected February 1

803
00:31:33,899 --> 00:31:36,299
2013 was entirely for the commercial

804
00:31:36,299 --> 00:31:38,580
cart recycling program and again that

805
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:41,220
was not for overall operations so that

806
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:43,980
brings us to the status that

807
00:31:43,980 --> 00:31:46,320
um that I

808
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,539
put in the summary that I itemized in

809
00:31:48,539 --> 00:31:50,820
the summary when we were last here for

810
00:31:50,820 --> 00:31:54,440
and we were looking at year-end 2012

811
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,360
income and expense statements they were

812
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,700
at a

813
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:02,039
0.02 operating margin that's essentially

814
00:32:02,039 --> 00:32:04,740
zero and

815
00:32:04,740 --> 00:32:08,760
in our pro forma 2016 Year we're at 0.03

816
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,580
so we're at essentially back to zero

817
00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:13,260
again

818
00:32:13,260 --> 00:32:17,940
um the between year and 2012 and 2016

819
00:32:17,940 --> 00:32:22,200
Revenue did increase by 9.7 percent but

820
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,260
costs increased by 9.6 percent therefore

821
00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:28,559
zero that that put us and the the

822
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:32,880
driving factors that uh that did affect

823
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,960
the cost

824
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,799
uh well one reason why we're a little

825
00:32:37,799 --> 00:32:39,840
bit higher in pro forma a little bit

826
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,320
more positive than pro forma 2016 than

827
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,279
in uh actually you're in 2015 is that

828
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:50,279
we've calculated considerably less

829
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:53,039
depreciation in interest in 2016. they

830
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:54,720
cannot afford to get the new truck that

831
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,460
they need to get until they get into a

832
00:32:56,460 --> 00:32:58,799
better cash flow position and so

833
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:01,919
depreciation has dropped and that is not

834
00:33:01,919 --> 00:33:03,899
a good position a good business position

835
00:33:03,899 --> 00:33:06,899
to be in but it has impacted the bottom

836
00:33:06,899 --> 00:33:08,520
line

837
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,519
uh disposal went up 19 in uh through

838
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:17,460
actual 2015 but we are glad that that

839
00:33:17,460 --> 00:33:18,960
we've been able to negotiate a new

840
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,840
contract uh Dennis worked very hard with

841
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,240
the facility and they're going to be a

842
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,019
hold for a year or two uh so that's very

843
00:33:28,019 --> 00:33:29,940
good that's very good news because it

844
00:33:29,940 --> 00:33:32,760
every year it was going up prior to this

845
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,700
new contract and then we've outlined the

846
00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:37,500
increases in health insurance General

847
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:39,480
Insurance repairs and maintenance and

848
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,820
salaries so to bring their operating

849
00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:43,980
margin to a position that reflects a

850
00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:46,919
good business policy we are asking for

851
00:33:46,919 --> 00:33:49,380
the across the board eight percent that

852
00:33:49,380 --> 00:33:51,539
would uh for the most commonly used

853
00:33:51,539 --> 00:33:54,419
receptacle which is the 35 gallon cart

854
00:33:54,419 --> 00:33:59,870
that would be 1.44 cents per month

855
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,039
that's what it would equate to and there

856
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:04,080
is a rate schedule attached that you can

857
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,419
see the current rates and the proposed

858
00:34:06,419 --> 00:34:09,419
rates if you if you grant this request

859
00:34:09,419 --> 00:34:10,800
it's

860
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,560
um when you compare it to the CPI over

861
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,839
that period of time it almost equals the

862
00:34:15,839 --> 00:34:18,899
CPI however we have had costs that have

863
00:34:18,899 --> 00:34:21,300
increased greater than the CPI one of

864
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:22,919
the things that's helped is to hold it

865
00:34:22,919 --> 00:34:24,899
has been that fuel costs have not

866
00:34:24,899 --> 00:34:28,619
increased as rapidly as they were

867
00:34:28,619 --> 00:34:30,720
I think one of the most telling things

868
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:34,500
is is the the last the second handout

869
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:37,500
that was in my packet and that is the

870
00:34:37,500 --> 00:34:40,919
comparative rate summary and if you look

871
00:34:40,919 --> 00:34:43,619
at that they are if if you approve these

872
00:34:43,619 --> 00:34:45,300
rates

873
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:48,119
you will be in the very

874
00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:52,500
low end of the middle uh of the race if

875
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:54,599
you look just at the cards if you look

876
00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:57,540
at the commercial it's the very very low

877
00:34:57,540 --> 00:35:02,099
end of rates compared to surrounding

878
00:35:02,099 --> 00:35:05,880
cities and what that means is that

879
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,280
you're closer to cost of service in

880
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,140
Monmouth than some of these other cities

881
00:35:10,140 --> 00:35:12,079
that have a

882
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:15,420
subsidy flowing from commercial

883
00:35:15,420 --> 00:35:18,480
to residential we've tried hard to to

884
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,240
Target programs that's why when we came

885
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:23,880
in here and put in carts we didn't just

886
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,339
spread the cost across everything that

887
00:35:26,339 --> 00:35:28,380
would have lowered the amount we had to

888
00:35:28,380 --> 00:35:31,140
if we if we had spread it across

889
00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:33,540
everything it would have lowered the

890
00:35:33,540 --> 00:35:35,579
amount that we would have had to have

891
00:35:35,579 --> 00:35:37,440
charged for the cards but it wouldn't

892
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,000
have been cost of service

893
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,520
and so we have tried to keep closer to

894
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,920
cost of service here in city of Monmouth

895
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,079
and City of Independence and they've

896
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:49,260
also done that in Polk County and so

897
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:53,880
um so they are are low on on

898
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,960
um not the lowest but low on on cards

899
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,180
but if you look at the subsidy flow

900
00:36:00,180 --> 00:36:01,800
there are there are cards are

901
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,020
exceptionally reasonable because they

902
00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:06,420
don't have the sub the commercial that

903
00:36:06,420 --> 00:36:08,160
some of these other cities particularly

904
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,839
if you look at Corvallis the first one

905
00:36:09,839 --> 00:36:11,700
on there they're able to hold their card

906
00:36:11,700 --> 00:36:13,200
rates quite low because they've got

907
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,820
quite High commercial

908
00:36:14,820 --> 00:36:17,400
and so we believe this request is

909
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,980
reasonable and we would respectfully ask

910
00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:22,140
that that it be approved eight percent

911
00:36:22,140 --> 00:36:24,480
across the board effective January 1

912
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,640
2016.

913
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,140
if you have questions we're here to

914
00:36:28,140 --> 00:36:33,490
answer them

915
00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:37,680
by uh backing off your replacement costs

916
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,839
what is going to be repair costs on your

917
00:36:39,839 --> 00:36:41,220
equipment is it going to go up eight to

918
00:36:41,220 --> 00:36:44,160
ten percent uh

919
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,099
probably it went up it went up in this

920
00:36:47,099 --> 00:36:50,220
period of time 27.3 and I think one of

921
00:36:50,220 --> 00:36:51,960
the things it's telling is whenever you

922
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,000
back off of depreciation you're going to

923
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,500
pick up repair and maintenance and

924
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:57,180
that's exactly what we're seeing here

925
00:36:57,180 --> 00:36:58,260
okay

926
00:36:58,260 --> 00:37:00,660
we can't you know we can't forge it

927
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:02,160
that's when the next motor is going to

928
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:09,170
blow or what's going to happen

929
00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:11,640
I don't know I don't we don't keep track

930
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,240
of the hours the miles is curious is

931
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:17,280
ours

932
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,720
about every

933
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:22,099
two and a half months we do 250 hours

934
00:37:22,099 --> 00:37:24,480
and not only know that just because

935
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,760
that's when I schedule the maintenance

936
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,099
okay I was just curious just popped into

937
00:37:29,099 --> 00:37:31,579
my head I wonder how many miles

938
00:37:31,579 --> 00:37:35,400
although you know we bought a

939
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,300
um

940
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:41,339
a Dropbox truck a 95 n95 and we got rid

941
00:37:41,339 --> 00:37:43,920
of when we got rid of it here um

942
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:49,380
in 2006 we had 405 000 miles on it wow

943
00:37:49,380 --> 00:37:51,839
and had 2500 on it while I picked up

944
00:37:51,839 --> 00:37:55,380
before wow so yeah

945
00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:57,240
okay

946
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:00,060
lots of stop and go drives yes the

947
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:01,619
ultimate stop to go anybody over here

948
00:38:01,619 --> 00:38:02,720
with any questions

949
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:05,760
currently what is the fleet status is it

950
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,579
just one rig that's going bad or I mean

951
00:38:08,579 --> 00:38:10,680
how many new Uber rigs where are we at

952
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,960
they're all getting up there

953
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,880
um when we jumped into this cart service

954
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,700
we only we could only get so much money

955
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:23,280
between buying the cars the trucks I

956
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,619
only bought three automated we got three

957
00:38:25,619 --> 00:38:28,680
low dolls they're semi-automated but you

958
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,240
still got to get out and hook the carts

959
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:32,880
to the truck to dump them uh that's what

960
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,619
I'm hoping for is to get another

961
00:38:34,619 --> 00:38:36,780
automated truck would make it more

962
00:38:36,780 --> 00:38:37,980
efficient

963
00:38:37,980 --> 00:38:41,540
uh it's safer for the driver

964
00:38:41,540 --> 00:38:43,680
most of our trucks are in pretty good

965
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,700
shape

966
00:38:44,700 --> 00:38:46,800
if we get at least one more automated

967
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,320
but you know automated trucks are

968
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,780
getting more and more expensive

969
00:38:51,780 --> 00:38:53,760
because there are probably another 50

970
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,579
000 more than what I bought say back in

971
00:38:56,579 --> 00:39:00,109
2010.

972
00:39:00,119 --> 00:39:02,579
I'm also curious in 2009 when

973
00:39:02,579 --> 00:39:04,260
um the last raid adjustment happened

974
00:39:04,260 --> 00:39:06,240
with and you said it was just focused on

975
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:08,820
the carts alone you know

976
00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:09,660
um

977
00:39:09,660 --> 00:39:12,119
I'm curious maybe you guys might be able

978
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:13,500
to answer this for me

979
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:15,960
um how are those cards are the the cards

980
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,720
purchased was that Brands purchases or

981
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:20,880
is that citizens Merchants no we

982
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,760
purchased them in calculated we what we

983
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,160
did was we we depreciated the carts over

984
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,300
seven years and and uh took just simple

985
00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:34,079
math divided the cost by seven

986
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:36,960
and and plugged that into the the

987
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,220
service cost

988
00:39:38,220 --> 00:39:40,260
that the program comes so that's what

989
00:39:40,260 --> 00:39:45,230
the rates were at that time

990
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:48,720
I'm also interested in any programs you

991
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:50,400
guys are currently

992
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,520
um doing or thinking about doing in the

993
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,960
future near future hopefully to

994
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,640
be more environmental friendly is there

995
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,220
any options there or where you guys can

996
00:40:02,220 --> 00:40:07,320
up to you know recycling of products

997
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,960
and where is where are you at on that I

998
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,780
know that's a priority in in this you

999
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:19,560
know it is a priority and and you're if I all that all that Dennis uh

1000
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,020
follow up if he has some some more

1001
00:40:22,020 --> 00:40:25,500
information but but where we're seeing

1002
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:27,300
as an industry

1003
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:36,000
is that uh the materials recovery the sales the material sales has tanked

1004
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,760
so uh that's not a technical word but

1005
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,700
it's gone down so drastically

1006
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:44,760
that some some jurisdictions are some

1007
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,500
companies and some jurisdictions are

1008
00:40:46,500 --> 00:40:48,960
actually looking for

1009
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,900
um plugging in about a 30 loss this year

1010
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:55,859
over uh over last year on on material

1011
00:40:55,859 --> 00:40:59,220
sales in the best of years and I've

1012
00:40:59,220 --> 00:41:02,700
tracked this now for so

1013
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:08,099
this is selling the selling selling the materials that have been

1014
00:41:08,099 --> 00:41:10,680
separated sore separated

1015
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,859
it only covers about 10 the sale only

1016
00:41:13,859 --> 00:41:16,200
covers about 10 percent of the cost of

1017
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,940
picking it up

1018
00:41:17,940 --> 00:41:22,920
so back in 1983 when Oregon had the

1019
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,260
opportunity to recycle act and I was

1020
00:41:25,260 --> 00:41:27,780
actually part of writing the regulations

1021
00:41:27,780 --> 00:41:29,520
for that with the Department of

1022
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,140
Environmental Quality

1023
00:41:31,140 --> 00:41:33,599
and and it was the decision of this

1024
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:35,460
state at that time and it's actually

1025
00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:38,579
part of the statute that we will pay a

1026
00:41:38,579 --> 00:41:39,780
premium

1027
00:41:39,780 --> 00:41:43,079
to do recycling so we know that it's not

1028
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:44,900
going to cover the cost

1029
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:47,940
and that if there there are

1030
00:41:47,940 --> 00:41:49,740
jurisdictions particularly on the East

1031
00:41:49,740 --> 00:41:52,260
Coast where they it's a subscription and

1032
00:41:52,260 --> 00:41:54,839
you can choose in or out and and they

1033
00:41:54,839 --> 00:41:57,540
have about a 10 maybe participation rate

1034
00:41:57,540 --> 00:42:00,060
whereas whereas we have probably closer

1035
00:42:00,060 --> 00:42:02,579
to 40 here in this County

1036
00:42:02,579 --> 00:42:05,640
and so you're you're doing really really

1037
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,839
well there's and unless you get into uh

1038
00:42:09,839 --> 00:42:12,599
something like recovery of food waste

1039
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:16,380
there's not much more to go I mean that

1040
00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:18,540
commercial recycling program was a big

1041
00:42:18,540 --> 00:42:21,780
step to get the to get the material from

1042
00:42:21,780 --> 00:42:23,880
the commercial

1043
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,940
it's hard to it's hard to go after that

1044
00:42:26,940 --> 00:42:28,859
last bit of

1045
00:42:28,859 --> 00:42:35,150
because it's just so expensive

1046
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,079
and not more than what not more than

1047
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:39,060
what oh being the food waster he

1048
00:42:39,060 --> 00:42:40,859
actually hasn't you know the college

1049
00:42:40,859 --> 00:42:43,020
does it he has everyone else does that

1050
00:42:43,020 --> 00:42:45,300
he has so he has this kind of a pilot

1051
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:47,880
that he has working with them but even

1052
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,560
City of Salem

1053
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,220
uh on the commercial is essentially a

1054
00:42:53,220 --> 00:42:55,560
still a pilot because it's just so I

1055
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,000
mean they're they're doing it in the

1056
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,500
residential picking it up with a yard

1057
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:01,680
debris but it's

1058
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,040
they're not getting huge amounts and

1059
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,319
it's just so expensive the disposal is

1060
00:43:07,319 --> 00:43:09,540
so much more expensive if you take it as

1061
00:43:09,540 --> 00:43:11,400
mixed with food

1062
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,770
the yard agreements with food

1063
00:43:15,780 --> 00:43:18,780
any other questions yeah I'm going to

1064
00:43:18,780 --> 00:43:21,020
come home um

1065
00:43:21,020 --> 00:43:24,839
in back in the comparative rate summary

1066
00:43:24,839 --> 00:43:27,660
the back page again of our of our report

1067
00:43:27,660 --> 00:43:30,900
and there's a pretty long list of cities

1068
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:32,579
there

1069
00:43:32,579 --> 00:43:33,960
and

1070
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,780
um how many of the how many of the the

1071
00:43:36,780 --> 00:43:40,079
outfits that service those communities

1072
00:43:40,079 --> 00:43:43,440
are similar to Brands meaning you know

1073
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,700
sort of Hometown homegrown non you know

1074
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:51,180

1075
00:43:51,180 --> 00:43:53,460

controlled it's not run out of some some

1086
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,960

Woodburn they all started these

1106
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,619
companies started with Rich brentano who

1107
00:45:10,619 --> 00:45:12,420
was if you know you remember rich

1108
00:45:12,420 --> 00:45:14,880

1109
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,079
11 cities you know and I take it I'd get

1110
00:45:19,079 --> 00:45:20,339
in this pickup truck and we'd go out

1111
00:45:20,339 --> 00:45:21,839
through the hot fields and we'd be in

1112
00:45:21,839 --> 00:45:29,819
Jervis or wherever and and so these companies were all homegrown and

1113
00:45:29,819 --> 00:45:32,280
they're still really very locally

1114
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,500
managed

1115
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:38,160
and they have to they have to work out

1116
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,460
on a composite in Salem in and uh and

1117
00:45:41,460 --> 00:45:43,200
Marion County they have to work on a

1118
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,619
composite that they can't go jump out

1119
00:45:46,619 --> 00:45:50,579
ahead of companies like brands

1120
00:45:50,579 --> 00:45:56,690
I don't understand what that means that they uh

1121
00:45:56,700 --> 00:45:58,800
they can't be going to corporate and

1122
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,780
doing things to their corporate and be

1123
00:46:00,780 --> 00:46:04,319
doing things that uh would be harmful to

1124
00:46:04,319 --> 00:46:06,240
the smaller companies

1125
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:08,880
and yet the smaller companies have to

1126
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,740
keep up

1127
00:46:10,740 --> 00:46:13,560
so so it there's there's this tension

1128
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,200
that is in those in those instances it's

1129
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:17,640
really very good for the consumer

1130
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,640
because the big is making small keep up

1131
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,579
but big is also is also having to keep

1132
00:46:23,579 --> 00:46:28,200
that local presence and not just get lost somewhere in

1133
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,060
Arizona can I follow up one question

1134
00:46:30,060 --> 00:46:31,500
with what you're saying

1135
00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:33,720
um because our franchise agreement says

1136
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:36,180
that another company can't Market in our

1137
00:46:36,180 --> 00:46:39,119
city limits they can't solicit a product

1138
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:40,680
they can't do any of those things is

1139
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:41,880
when you say similar in other

1140
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,099
communities is that the same yes same

1141
00:46:44,099 --> 00:46:48,650
standard yes in every one of these

1142
00:46:48,660 --> 00:46:51,660
well I I asked for that and I suspected

1143
00:46:51,660 --> 00:46:53,280
that information and I asked for it

1144
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:54,260
because

1145
00:46:54,260 --> 00:46:57,300
you know I think that it's in our best

1146
00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:00,839
interest that we keep Brands Bob and and

1147
00:47:00,839 --> 00:47:03,060
we keep Brands

1148
00:47:03,060 --> 00:47:03,680
um

1149
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,380
you know so if Republic were to come in

1150
00:47:07,380 --> 00:47:09,900
and say what do you think we got a deal

1151
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:12,900
for you you know even with all due

1152
00:47:12,900 --> 00:47:15,240
respect to the local control we we

1153
00:47:15,240 --> 00:47:20,760
prefer a real truly local control and so I I think it's in our best

1154
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,880
interest to to do everything we can to

1155
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,440
assist

1156
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,420
um

1157
00:47:27,420 --> 00:47:30,240
uh the the profitability and viability

1158
00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:33,900
and and uh you know of Brandt's Sanitary

1159
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:36,240
Service and I've got a couple of other

1160
00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:38,760
questions a little more substantive

1161
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,440
um

1162
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,640
the

1163
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:46,200
um I wasn't quite clear on on your

1164
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,740
um explanation of the expenses or the

1165
00:47:49,740 --> 00:47:55,819
cost related to recycled you know the Solid Waste Recovery or whatever

1166
00:47:55,819 --> 00:47:59,460
industry terms that they use

1167
00:47:59,460 --> 00:48:03,060
um my I mean I you know we it appears

1168
00:48:03,060 --> 00:48:06,359
that we we charge in round number 75

1169
00:48:06,359 --> 00:48:09,000
percent you know for the recycling

1170
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:13,800
versus what we charge for the garbage uh

1171
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:14,940
I mean I'm

1172
00:48:14,940 --> 00:48:20,400
maybe I'm missing no uh you know the the

1173
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:25,500
garbage the garbage is the the greatest

1174
00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:30,720
preponderance of of this uh so on a on a

1175
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:32,040
17

1176
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,020
um

1177
00:48:34,020 --> 00:48:38,700
or a 20 20 or 22.19 I haven't broken it

1178
00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:42,020
out lately as to uh

1179
00:48:42,020 --> 00:48:44,880
the solid waste versus the recycling but

1180
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,880
it's it's almost the flip it's almost

1181
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,760
the reverse that it's more closer to 75

1182
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,780
is or well over 50 is solid waste

1183
00:48:54,780 --> 00:48:57,720
and it and it was more closer to 75

1184
00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:00,060
percent even 80 percent garbage and and

1185
00:49:00,060 --> 00:49:02,040
the other uh recycling before we put

1186
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,420
yard debris in there that's why it

1187
00:49:03,420 --> 00:49:05,700
brings it up closer to 50 percent

1188
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:08,160
probably now with the argue there well

1189
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,339
the the one the reason

1190
00:49:10,339 --> 00:49:12,960
the one I'm looking at

1191
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,960
um is which I believe what probably what

1192
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,660
we have you know is I'm looking at the

1193
00:49:18,660 --> 00:49:21,900
one time a week for the I'm assuming

1194
00:49:21,900 --> 00:49:23,460
that that's

1195
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:26,099
garbage and then then

1196
00:49:26,099 --> 00:49:27,060
um

1197
00:49:27,060 --> 00:49:29,760
well it's hard to pull out it's all good

1198
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,280
it's all all the recycling has to be

1199
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,619
within the garbage rate that is that is

1200
00:49:34,619 --> 00:49:38,880
uh Oregon policy state of Oregon policy

1201
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,180
you you charge one rate for garbage

1202
00:49:42,180 --> 00:49:45,599
Recycling and yard debris and so this

1203
00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:48,119
rate of twenty dollars and fifty five

1204
00:49:48,119 --> 00:49:52,200
cents currently 22.19 proposed is for

1205
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,500
all three services I see that that I I

1206
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:57,720
misunderstood that yeah that's for all

1207
00:49:57,720 --> 00:50:00,839
three services I I uh okay

1208
00:50:00,839 --> 00:50:03,900
so where it says up above it includes

1209
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:07,319
one a cart for solid waste two a cart

1210
00:50:07,319 --> 00:50:09,660
for every other week mixed Recycling and

1211
00:50:09,660 --> 00:50:12,660
three a cart for every other week you

1212
00:50:12,660 --> 00:50:14,760
already so that rate is all inclusive

1213
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,400
yeah okay

1214
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:21,000
that makes that makes sense now as we as

1215
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,680
we we've talked about when you were here

1216
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,780
in 2012 there was a considerable

1217
00:50:24,780 --> 00:50:27,020
discussion about and Scott mentioned it

1218
00:50:27,020 --> 00:50:30,660
the the cost of disposal tipping fees

1219
00:50:30,660 --> 00:50:33,359
now those are that go into the landfill

1220
00:50:33,359 --> 00:50:35,099
is that correct

1221
00:50:35,099 --> 00:50:37,440
now is that

1222
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:42,359
I'm trying to get a get a sense because I'm trying to find a way to tie

1223
00:50:42,359 --> 00:50:44,460
eight percent of the information we have

1224
00:50:44,460 --> 00:50:47,040
here now certainly it increases in order

1225
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,420
but I'm trying to figure out how eight

1226
00:50:48,420 --> 00:50:50,940
percent how we get there

1227
00:50:50,940 --> 00:50:54,960
um so as you as we recycle more

1228
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,859
than it seems to me that we have less

1229
00:50:58,859 --> 00:51:02,770
tipping fees

1230
00:51:02,780 --> 00:51:06,480
then we still have expenses you know on

1231
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,119
the disposal of the other but I'm not

1232
00:51:09,119 --> 00:51:12,960
sure how that breaks out yeah that would

1233
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,220
be true if um if people were not now

1234
00:51:17,220 --> 00:51:18,780
disposing more

1235
00:51:18,780 --> 00:51:20,819
and and that's unfortunately what we're

1236
00:51:20,819 --> 00:51:23,040
finding Statewide is that we're

1237
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,839
recycling more but we're still disposing

1238
00:51:24,839 --> 00:51:25,920
more

1239
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,160
and and so so we don't find the tons

1240
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,440
going down on the solid waste side

1241
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,180
dramatically

1242
00:51:33,180 --> 00:51:36,300
because we're a throwaway Society

1243
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:39,839
I mean I'm the aren't you now selling

1244
00:51:39,839 --> 00:51:40,859
that

1245
00:51:40,859 --> 00:51:45,059
product for some type of return the

1246
00:51:45,059 --> 00:51:48,180
recyclable product on a loss overall at

1247
00:51:48,180 --> 00:51:51,170
a loss overall and

1248
00:51:51,180 --> 00:51:52,680
some of it

1249
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,599
oh you're paying for you to get rid of

1250
00:51:54,599 --> 00:51:56,579
them

1251
00:51:56,579 --> 00:51:59,700
if it's garbage I mean that's 100 we're

1252
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:02,400
paying to get rid of what of what folks

1253
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,559
would hope we

1254
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:09,290
uh

1255
00:52:09,300 --> 00:52:11,880
we can get we can still get revenue on

1256
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,280
the cardboard and paper not like we were

1257
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,280
no but the Plastics the glass you know

1258
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,500
all of that is and and there's so much

1259
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:20,700
of that

1260
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:23,099
because it's time to have the whole of a

1261
00:52:23,099 --> 00:52:25,380
glass we take the formula now so that

1262
00:52:25,380 --> 00:52:26,640
you know you're looking at a four-hour

1263
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,040
trip up and back truck getting three

1264
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,020
miles per gallon

1265
00:52:31,020 --> 00:52:34,859
um we're transporting that you said yeah

1266
00:52:34,859 --> 00:52:37,500
um and we're going up there for 19 a ton

1267
00:52:37,500 --> 00:52:39,180
yeah

1268
00:52:39,180 --> 00:52:42,300
and um so and you can only hold so much

1269
00:52:42,300 --> 00:52:44,819
up there yeah you get above nine tons

1270
00:52:44,819 --> 00:52:46,800
and now you're looking at a ticket if

1271
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:52,619
you get caught so yeah so much yeah

1272
00:52:52,619 --> 00:52:55,140
it sounds like we're going up one spot

1273
00:52:55,140 --> 00:52:56,700
sounds like you need to buy a rail car

1274
00:52:56,700 --> 00:53:01,130
coming down yeah I wish

1275
00:53:01,140 --> 00:53:03,970
um

1276
00:53:03,980 --> 00:53:10,140
one of the things that that is noted

1277
00:53:10,140 --> 00:53:12,900
here in terms of the cost drivers

1278
00:53:12,900 --> 00:53:16,440
um that are that are you know ratcheting

1279
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:17,940
that up

1280
00:53:17,940 --> 00:53:27,470
um

1281
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,960
you know we we note the the

1282
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,540
health insurance that goes to employees

1283
00:53:33,540 --> 00:53:36,960
uh we got we got a large percentages on

1284
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,260
all of those across across there I have

1285
00:53:40,260 --> 00:53:42,119
no idea what the actual I mean I know

1286
00:53:42,119 --> 00:53:43,800
what the percentage is of an increase

1287
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,020
but is that a small number or is that a

1288
00:53:46,020 --> 00:53:47,059
large number

1289
00:53:47,059 --> 00:53:49,680
what the impact of that the ones that I

1290
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,900
gave you were the large numbers because

1291
00:53:51,900 --> 00:53:54,119
we have uh your your city manager

1292
00:53:54,119 --> 00:53:56,400
actually has the income and expense

1293
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,099
statement that it has all of the numbers

1294
00:53:59,099 --> 00:54:02,520
the confidential and it is a

1295
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:03,900
confidential document

1296
00:54:03,900 --> 00:54:07,440
the only ones I gave you that were the

1297
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,300
larger numbers

1298
00:54:09,300 --> 00:54:11,880
um some of the small numbers went up or

1299
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,280
down the but to get back to your why

1300
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,880
eight percent the when you look at at

1301
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:19,760
the the

1302
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:23,040
uh ones that went up the ones that went

1303
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:27,240
down uh fuel went down of course so uh

1304
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:29,579
the bottom line is

1305
00:54:29,579 --> 00:54:34,200
they went up overall 9.6 percent and we

1306
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,660
had Revenue increases over the over the

1307
00:54:36,660 --> 00:54:39,720
period between 2012 and 2016 of 9.7

1308
00:54:39,720 --> 00:54:41,640
percent putting this back in the zero

1309
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,599
position and uh we have always targeted

1310
00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:49,200
for eight percent in this city for eight

1311
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,300
percent return it's a it's a one shot in

1312
00:54:51,300 --> 00:54:53,579
time as soon as as soon as we get it it

1313
00:54:53,579 --> 00:54:56,099
starts to go down again but it is a it

1314
00:54:56,099 --> 00:55:00,000
is a one shot in time now just to your

1315
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,119
East to the East and all of Salem and

1316
00:55:03,119 --> 00:55:06,000
Marion County Target to 10 percent

1317
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,859
so you are actually are actually

1318
00:55:09,859 --> 00:55:12,300
providing a little lower return I mean

1319
00:55:12,300 --> 00:55:14,099
we're targeting a little lower return

1320
00:55:14,099 --> 00:55:15,960
throughout Polk County Polk County is

1321
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,880
the same way in Independence

1322
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,460
so if I could ask your question in a

1323
00:55:20,460 --> 00:55:21,839
slightly different way to look at that

1324
00:55:21,839 --> 00:55:23,700
Trend down at the bottom of health

1325
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:25,500
insurance General insurance and so on

1326
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:27,839
well those percentages are high that's a

1327
00:55:27,839 --> 00:55:29,640
small piece of the overall expenses

1328
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,800
facing the company those categories

1329
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,559
there are other expenses that are uh

1330
00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:37,020
more on flat out dollar terms bigger

1331
00:55:37,020 --> 00:55:38,940
chunk of the big picture actually these

1332
00:55:38,940 --> 00:55:40,500
were the biggest these were the biggest

1333
00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:42,839
flat out dollar ones these I I did not

1334
00:55:42,839 --> 00:55:45,240
put the ones that were small dollar

1335
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:47,520
amounts I didn't I didn't put in this

1336
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,900
list these uh I the probably the

1337
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:53,700
exception to that would be health

1338
00:55:53,700 --> 00:55:56,059
insurance is not one of the biggest

1339
00:55:56,059 --> 00:55:59,220
amounts uh the two insurances are not

1340
00:55:59,220 --> 00:56:04,220
but but big is disposal 19

1341
00:56:04,220 --> 00:56:09,130
repairs and maintenance that's big

1342
00:56:09,140 --> 00:56:12,180
let me just check in real quick and uh

1343
00:56:12,180 --> 00:56:16,500
Steve or Royal uh Darren marshalling Bay

1344
00:56:16,500 --> 00:56:19,500
we're getting two folks okay I'm fine

1345
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:22,200
okay John you have anything else or are

1346
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,960
we ready to

1347
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:32,400
uh no I I uh I yeah I I was I would like to have

1348
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:33,599
um

1349
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:36,240
I mean it would be it would go down much

1350
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:39,180
easier for me if I had a little a little

1351
00:56:39,180 --> 00:56:41,640
more sense of of

1352
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,640
um you know what the dollar impacts are

1353
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,880
I mean we're dealing with percentages

1354
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,280
yeah yeah and and I get that that's that

1355
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,559
that's confidential and and believe me I

1356
00:56:52,559 --> 00:56:54,119
want to go back to what I said the first

1357
00:56:54,119 --> 00:56:56,339
time in my mind it's important and

1358
00:56:56,339 --> 00:56:59,400
essential that that we do all we can to

1359
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,140
make Brands

1360
00:57:01,140 --> 00:57:04,380
um financially solid and and fiscally

1361
00:57:04,380 --> 00:57:07,020
solved so they it can remain as it as it

1362
00:57:07,020 --> 00:57:08,760
is because I think I don't know anybody

1363
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,920
that's not happened to the service uh

1364
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,040
however you know to use the former

1365
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,140
councilman's term we need to do our due

1366
00:57:16,140 --> 00:57:19,319
diligence on behalf of our rate payer

1367
00:57:19,319 --> 00:57:22,380
uh and and to not

1368
00:57:22,380 --> 00:57:26,400
you know I I I I I think you get detail

1369
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,380
on this I I think we owe that to our

1370
00:57:28,380 --> 00:57:31,800
rate payers and uh and again I'm I'm all

1371
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,440
for it I'm just I'm just and we did give

1372
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,020
the great detail to the city and so it

1373
00:57:37,020 --> 00:57:39,900
is available if you would like to

1374
00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:42,359
just can't take it home yeah no I I mean

1375
00:57:42,359 --> 00:57:44,640
I and I understand why that proprietary

1376
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,800
information but but it would it would

1377
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,880
make uh it would make things easier

1378
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,140
yeah I I would I would like to follow up

1379
00:57:52,140 --> 00:57:53,040
with John

1380
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,819
um uh I I just I'm finding it extremely

1381
00:57:56,819 --> 00:57:59,520
difficult to figure out why why the

1382
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:00,839
eight percent has to be across the board

1383
00:58:00,839 --> 00:58:02,400
it seems like

1384
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,559
um just from The Limited information I

1385
00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:06,660
have I haven't been able to get into uh

1386
00:58:06,660 --> 00:58:08,400
Scott's office to look at the detailed

1387
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,099
information but I just can't figure out

1388
00:58:11,099 --> 00:58:13,980
from the information provided

1389
00:58:13,980 --> 00:58:15,660
how

1390
00:58:15,660 --> 00:58:17,880
you came to eight percent just I'm not

1391
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,559
going to repeat what John said but I do

1392
00:58:19,559 --> 00:58:22,140
Express concern over that

1393
00:58:22,140 --> 00:58:23,940
um and I'm going to go against the the

1394
00:58:23,940 --> 00:58:25,980
you know the green here

1395
00:58:25,980 --> 00:58:30,599
um I'm all for competition and I think

1396
00:58:30,599 --> 00:58:33,180
uh conversation could be had

1397
00:58:33,180 --> 00:58:34,859
um to

1398
00:58:34,859 --> 00:58:38,040
spur more Innovation

1399
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,559
um lower rates potentially because I

1400
00:58:40,559 --> 00:58:42,059
mean just with the information provided

1401
00:58:42,059 --> 00:58:45,540
I'm looking at Salem providing

1402
00:58:45,540 --> 00:58:47,520
are getting a five percent or paying a

1403
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,760
five percent franchise fee lower cost um

1404
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,980
close across the board and they're

1405
00:58:52,980 --> 00:58:54,839
getting yard debris weekly

1406
00:58:54,839 --> 00:58:56,520
and you said they're targeting a 10

1407
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,380
return and we're only targeting an eight

1408
00:58:58,380 --> 00:59:00,420
percent return that that's interesting

1409
00:59:00,420 --> 00:59:03,720
me but competition to me is interesting

1410
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,940
I'm all for having Brands they fantastic

1411
00:59:05,940 --> 00:59:09,180
Service never had ever had a problem but

1412
00:59:09,180 --> 00:59:12,540
it's interesting me that we would

1413
00:59:12,540 --> 00:59:14,880
as a city

1414
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,579
I know we have forever but

1415
00:59:17,579 --> 00:59:21,119
you know support or prop up a company a

1416
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:22,740
private company

1417
00:59:22,740 --> 00:59:24,720
um

1418
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,299
and it's hard for me to find that

1419
00:59:27,299 --> 00:59:29,160
anywhere else and I know that's common

1420
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,380
practice but

1421
00:59:31,380 --> 00:59:34,020
it seems when there is competition that

1422
00:59:34,020 --> 00:59:36,780
Innovation happens you lower prices and

1423
00:59:36,780 --> 00:59:39,000
all those good things so and that might

1424
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,099
be a different decision but I would I'm

1425
00:59:41,099 --> 00:59:42,540
really concerned about what the eight

1426
00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:44,700
percent really is coming from so the

1427
00:59:44,700 --> 00:59:46,559
eight percent is trying to bring it back

1428
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:48,299
up to the top

1429
00:59:48,299 --> 00:59:50,280
understand that but the numbers that we

1430
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,940
got it doesn't it doesn't add up so

1431
00:59:53,940 --> 00:59:55,920
you're right those don't the ones I gave

1432
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,720
to the city manager do

1433
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:02,400
uh but so but but the uh for the City of

1434
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:03,720
Salem

1435
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,240
um

1436
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,740
we're starting the rate review that

1437
01:00:07,740 --> 01:00:11,220
grants have a June 30th here in City of

1438
01:00:11,220 --> 01:00:13,619
Salem all the companies there have a

1439
01:00:13,619 --> 01:00:17,880
December 31 year end so we are assuming

1440
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:21,180
that this year we will be going back I

1441
01:00:21,180 --> 01:00:23,160
mean these rates are we're assuming are

1442
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,079
going to change some of them at least in

1443
01:00:25,079 --> 01:00:28,140
City of Salem and so you're you're

1444
01:00:28,140 --> 01:00:31,680
seeing the tag end of of

1445
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,480
what's there now

1446
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,359
so so can I interject something to help

1447
01:00:36,359 --> 01:00:37,619
you out Jesse

1448
01:00:37,619 --> 01:00:41,940
yes you can because I was here when we

1449
01:00:41,940 --> 01:00:44,040
first started talking about

1450
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:45,900
um trying to do the joint

1451
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:46,740
um

1452
01:00:46,740 --> 01:00:48,900
similar franchise between Monmouth and

1453
01:00:48,900 --> 01:00:50,640
independence with rhinos that was in

1454
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,359
2009 recording and

1455
01:00:54,359 --> 01:00:57,420
we looked at some outside vendors not

1456
01:00:57,420 --> 01:00:59,760
cost effective for us as a community

1457
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,180
the fact that they're coming back now

1458
01:01:03,180 --> 01:01:05,099
from 2009

1459
01:01:05,099 --> 01:01:07,859
to 2015 and only asking for an eight

1460
01:01:07,859 --> 01:01:10,640
percent is pretty phenomenal

1461
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,260
phenomenally small enough I think it's

1462
01:01:13,260 --> 01:01:15,960
12 to 15 but so two eight percent this

1463
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,280
would be the second eight percent yeah

1464
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,640
and I'm looking still and yeah just me

1465
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,960
just from the basic Services I'm getting

1466
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,720
which is once once a week for garbage

1467
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,119
every other week for the other two I'm

1468
01:01:27,119 --> 01:01:29,700
looking at the close to 60 about 60 a

1469
01:01:29,700 --> 01:01:32,280
year no you're not they're looking at a

1470
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:38,460
raise of uh from 2055 to 2219 a month

1471
01:01:38,460 --> 01:01:41,839
a dollar forty five a month for 12.

1472
01:01:41,839 --> 01:01:44,280
this is your top line right here Jesse

1473
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,099
one time a week 35 gallon can unless you

1474
01:01:47,099 --> 01:01:49,500
use a great place to see the recycling

1475
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:51,920
and recycling

1476
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,660
that's that's if you have two recycling

1477
01:01:54,660 --> 01:02:00,470
Keys two yard debris cans

1478
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:01,920
that makes sense does that make you feel

1479
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:08,170
better thank you yeah

1480
01:02:08,180 --> 01:02:10,859
I know I've read the back sheet too I

1481
01:02:10,859 --> 01:02:12,859
mean what I came out with Jesse was

1482
01:02:12,859 --> 01:02:16,680
17.28 per year for the average customer

1483
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,020
um taking a 35 gallon can once a week

1484
01:02:19,020 --> 01:02:20,880
and Recycling and garbage debris

1485
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,220
alternating

1486
01:02:23,220 --> 01:02:27,299
so did that feel better I don't need to

1487
01:02:27,299 --> 01:02:29,040
feel better no I'm saying does that feel

1488
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,200
better I feel better

1489
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,480
um we always go down this road where you

1490
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:34,799
guys try to make me feel better I have

1491
01:02:34,799 --> 01:02:36,780
questions it's like no that's right and

1492
01:02:36,780 --> 01:02:37,339
um

1493
01:02:37,339 --> 01:02:40,260
I don't know how anybody here can take

1494
01:02:40,260 --> 01:02:42,240
these numbers and quantify where the

1495
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,000
eight percent is coming from but

1496
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,819
um I'm full support if with Council if

1497
01:02:47,819 --> 01:02:50,160
that's their choice but once again I

1498
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,440
struggle supporting Private Business

1499
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:53,819
from a

1500
01:02:53,819 --> 01:02:56,520
public municipality sampling but no

1501
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,319
we're not well we're not there's a

1502
01:02:58,319 --> 01:03:01,760
ratepayer fees these are not city taxes

1503
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,260
City gets seven percent of every bit of

1504
01:03:04,260 --> 01:03:06,180
it yeah we actually make money out there

1505
01:03:06,180 --> 01:03:08,940
so so uh just when I grew up in Kentucky

1506
01:03:08,940 --> 01:03:12,540
we had city garbage service which is way

1507
01:03:12,540 --> 01:03:14,280
more expensive than this

1508
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,319
because the expenses for city employees

1509
01:03:16,319 --> 01:03:18,359
were much higher than for private

1510
01:03:18,359 --> 01:03:19,200
employees

1511
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,420
and it was a shock to me to come to

1512
01:03:21,420 --> 01:03:23,700
Oregon and find like when I first moved

1513
01:03:23,700 --> 01:03:25,200
to Eugene you went with the Yellow Pages

1514
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,720
and you picked the garbage company

1515
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,660
you know that that was unheard of I

1516
01:03:30,660 --> 01:03:32,400
couldn't imagine such a system so this

1517
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,000
has been uh and you know I was always a

1518
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,740
little amazed at Supply your own garbage

1519
01:03:37,740 --> 01:03:42,540
can uh recycling in a yellow tub and

1520
01:03:42,540 --> 01:03:46,140
that was it and when we started this

1521
01:03:46,140 --> 01:03:48,839
discussion in 2009 about completely

1522
01:03:48,839 --> 01:03:51,119
overhauling how we pick up garbage and

1523
01:03:51,119 --> 01:03:53,040
recyclables in the yard debris adding

1524
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,980
yard debris in this community and I had

1525
01:03:55,980 --> 01:03:57,420
just a little bit of we talked to the

1526
01:03:57,420 --> 01:03:59,400
citizens we took a poll you know we

1527
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,020
we've got really good feedback from

1528
01:04:01,020 --> 01:04:03,540
citizens in both cities uh Independence

1529
01:04:03,540 --> 01:04:04,859
was maybe just a little bit more

1530
01:04:04,859 --> 01:04:07,859
resistant until we added in addition to

1531
01:04:07,859 --> 01:04:09,119
weekly or monthly you could get every

1532
01:04:09,119 --> 01:04:11,119
other week garbage service and that gave

1533
01:04:11,119 --> 01:04:14,099
retirees an option that was actually

1534
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:15,420
cheaper than what they were paying for

1535
01:04:15,420 --> 01:04:17,280
weekly and all of a sudden everybody was

1536
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,079
on board we still had people saying I

1537
01:04:19,079 --> 01:04:21,299
missed the old system but I'll guarantee

1538
01:04:21,299 --> 01:04:22,619
you if you went to people in this

1539
01:04:22,619 --> 01:04:24,240
community and said you can give your

1540
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,339
wheeled garbage can back you you go buy

1541
01:04:26,339 --> 01:04:28,079
your own can now I don't think

1542
01:04:28,079 --> 01:04:29,280
I don't know where you're going with

1543
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,200
that but right yeah I'm just I'm tickled

1544
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,540
with this system and and I think France

1545
01:04:33,540 --> 01:04:36,540
has done a great job coming across the

1546
01:04:36,540 --> 01:04:38,280
I think they've done a great job putting

1547
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:42,240
a a real alteration in just six years

1548
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,520
and how we take care of followers to

1549
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,260
this community so I would agree with

1550
01:04:46,260 --> 01:04:48,599
that yeah today's question is okay with

1551
01:04:48,599 --> 01:04:50,640
Independence um I notice it's pretty

1552
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,700
much across the board same rates and

1553
01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:55,559
you're asking for the same exactly the

1554
01:04:55,559 --> 01:04:58,020
same we basically have the same

1555
01:04:58,020 --> 01:05:01,319
thanks Sean yeah yeah and that was

1556
01:05:01,319 --> 01:05:02,640
another thing that we came to between

1557
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,260
the two cities when we moved this

1558
01:05:04,260 --> 01:05:07,140
direction so there's uh as Steve

1559
01:05:07,140 --> 01:05:10,970
indicated that was a bit of a were there

1560
01:05:10,980 --> 01:05:14,579
so uh this will be resolution 1808 oh

1561
01:05:14,579 --> 01:05:16,520
I'm sorry

1562
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:20,220
I don't see that finger up yeah I have

1563
01:05:20,220 --> 01:05:22,079
to I asked one more question okay and

1564
01:05:22,079 --> 01:05:23,940
John brought this up and you've been

1565
01:05:23,940 --> 01:05:26,460
asking what's the Tipping cost isn't it

1566
01:05:26,460 --> 01:05:28,559
the same for yard debris as it is for

1567
01:05:28,559 --> 01:05:30,720
garbage or is it pretty close what's the

1568
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:34,210
difference

1569
01:05:34,220 --> 01:05:36,839
for garbage

1570
01:05:36,839 --> 01:05:39,079
yeah that's 39 or 10.

1571
01:05:39,079 --> 01:05:41,819
yeah I'm just trying to go for the basic

1572
01:05:41,819 --> 01:05:43,680
because it isn't free we have to pay for

1573
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:51,240
it to dip it they keep changing it so it's a I I

1574
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,640
have I have I don't know what the new

1575
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,559
one is okay well because I used to

1576
01:05:55,559 --> 01:05:57,480
recycle it's less building yeah they

1577
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:58,680
don't recycle anymore that recycling

1578
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,720
North went away didn't it down there at

1579
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,140
Corvallis the campaign

1580
01:06:03,140 --> 01:06:06,480
it's just not there for you need to go

1581
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,339
to anymore yeah you got to go to the

1582
01:06:08,339 --> 01:06:11,770
dump because of um

1583
01:06:11,780 --> 01:06:14,099
and they got a bunch of product over

1584
01:06:14,099 --> 01:06:15,660
there that wasn't

1585
01:06:15,660 --> 01:06:17,460
um they had all in all off because it

1586
01:06:17,460 --> 01:06:19,680
was contaminated they actually got a big

1587
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,859
fine for me here but we pay a ticket

1588
01:06:22,859 --> 01:06:25,440
that should have been chipped up but we

1589
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,359
pay a tipping fee for that recycling

1590
01:06:27,359 --> 01:06:29,280
down there don't we yes yep yes okay

1591
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,520
it's less than garbage it's less than 39

1592
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,160
but I don't know exact current I'm ready

1593
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,799
I know what food waste is that went on

1594
01:06:37,799 --> 01:06:42,000
up to 65 a time yeah they charge more

1595
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,819
for it is

1596
01:06:44,819 --> 01:06:47,099
food waste has to be impounded

1597
01:06:47,099 --> 01:06:49,619
they have to treat it I mean it has to

1598
01:06:49,619 --> 01:06:53,990
be cared for so carefully yeah

1599
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,880

1600
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:03,289

I just wanted

1623
01:08:04,260 --> 01:08:06,119
say a shout out to all the employees

1624
01:08:06,119 --> 01:08:08,280
it's impressive all the years that I've

1625
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:10,619
been here at the diocese for these this

1626
01:08:10,619 --> 01:08:12,839
is the largest number and it's the

1627
01:08:12,839 --> 01:08:15,299
largest cumulative total of years of

1628
01:08:15,299 --> 01:08:18,420
employees it's just phenomenal there's a

1629
01:08:18,420 --> 01:08:19,940
couple of the

1630
01:08:19,940 --> 01:08:22,859
employees that got 20-year recognition

1631
01:08:22,859 --> 01:08:25,920
that I said are probably young enough to

1632
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,140
make it to 40 if they choose to all

1633
01:08:28,140 --> 01:08:31,199

1634
01:08:31,199 --> 01:08:32,880
crew

01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:33,920
yeah yeah

1636
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,299
that was the challenge reading all those

1637
01:08:36,299 --> 01:08:39,679
and I would appreciate y'all

1638
01:08:39,679 --> 01:08:43,140
give me time to get through this is hard

1639
01:08:43,140 --> 01:08:45,540
um so we do have a an executive session

1640
01:08:45,540 --> 01:08:46,440

um if there are no other Council

1642
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:49,620
