We talked about some signage parking issues downtown. 80 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:41,240 Talked about the summer sewer rate. Um we've had some people asking about that. 81 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,960 After I talked to some other communities, so they're going to have 82 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,720 some ideas for the future. And Steve presented a CIP CEP and then 83 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,000 gave us updates. >> Very good. 84 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,560 » And between Max and Steve and Chief I think we have a good plan moving 85 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,360 forward to alleviate some of these parking 86 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,240 issues. So. >> That's good to hear. 87 00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:06,640 Very good to hear. I see we're down to one crane at the treatment plant, so 88 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,560 that's a good sign progress is being made there. 89 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,280 » We don't have a running crane count anymore, but we're 90 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,040 » Right. We're down to one. 91 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,520 Uh let's see, utility commission. >> Utility commission met for the regular 92 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,640 monthly meeting on August 17th. Uh we're accepting applications for a fiber line 93 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,360 worker and we'll have a new Light Speed customer service specialist starting 94 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,919 soon. Uh WPPI Energy is requesting member 95 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,280 extension um long-term power supply contract to 96 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:39,120 2073. Um our current contract ends in 2055, 97 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:45,200 but we're currently researching other options from other sources 98 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:48,720 that might save the city some money. Um the electric crew constructed the 99 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,240 electric for the 10th Street extension and they've been constructing some 100 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,640 underground electric lines to provide additional switching capabilities 101 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:59,840 between some of the circuits. Um, 102 00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:03,640 water department completed summer hydrant flushing, it's performing 103 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:08,200 maintenance. Um, water usage has increased by over 104 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,520 25% over the last couple years, mainly due to industrial consumption. So, we're 105 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:16,600 looking into options to increase well capacity to meet the needs of the city. 106 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:20,160 » I'm on there as well. Thank you. Any other committee, 107 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,360 commission, or staff member member anything they want to report? 108 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,120 It's nice and quiet in here. Aaron Bauer, anything on your mind? 109 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,919 » Yeah, I just want to make sure I heard. Uh, so 110 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,480 my my mic's not working, so I'm stealing Jake's. 111 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,520 Uh, Jake did a great job on the rundown for the uh, utility commission, but 112 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:44,320 there is one thing I want to make sure to bring to the public's attention and 113 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:48,760 address. Uh, we didn't vote to approve anything, but it is kind of in the works 114 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,160 what they may what they're proposing to do. 115 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:56,800 Um, and I was happy to vote no on, uh, but went through anyway. What they're 116 00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:02,640 proposing to do is make it so that if you have a solar electric project 117 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:06,800 here in town, that the utility would change the rate that they pay for the 118 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:10,880 electricity you produce right now. And in effect, what it would do is it make 119 00:07:08,919 --> 00:07:16,640 it so that the people that produce electricity in town eventually, uh, 120 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:21,000 would get paid or I guess the city would make more money on the electricity they 121 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:25,560 buy from the local residents than the electricity that they buy from the other 122 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:30,680 whippy contract that they're dealing with. I think that it's important that 123 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:34,760 we are all aware that this is a public utility, that it is backed by the city, 124 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:40,440 that it is backed by the citizens of Reedsburg. And to me, it just doesn't 125 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:43,400 seem right that we would pay a rate that would make it so we would make more 126 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:47,280 money off of them. If you look in the fine print, they're 127 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:52,880 justifying it by saying that we would be paying similar electric rates, which 128 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:56,920 technically is true, but it doesn't take into any consideration for what it takes 129 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,840 to bring the electricity here to the doorstep. And that's the difference 130 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:05,240 here. Right now we're buying electricity delivered to Reedsburg for about 8 cents 131 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:10,080 a kilowatt hour. We're paying out at 11 cents, which I can understand needing 132 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:15,040 somewhat of a rate adjustment, but this would bring it down to the 2 to 5 cent 133 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:19,919 range. So, it would really drastically change what we would pay out 134 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:24,160 for energy made here in the city. I just don't think that's right. 135 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:28,360 Thank you. Jake Kumer. 136 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,600 Anything else on your mind? >> Um 137 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,159 no, I I think there should be maybe a a middle ground on that. 138 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,520 Just >> Sure. 139 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:41,080 » Not that pay what the top rate is, but what you're paying from the other 140 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:43,919 supplies.
