no changes to the investment policy?

113
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,720
» What is the investment policy?

114
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,799
» So here is the document wants to read.

115
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,879
It just the objectives basically are to

116
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:05,040
conform to all applicable federal, state

117
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:07,599
and other legal requirements to

118
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,360
adequately safeguard principle. um to

119
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:11,439
provide sufficient liquidity to meet all

120
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,280
operating requirements and to obtain a

121
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:18,720
reasonable rate of return. So those are

122
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:20,000
the objectives of the policy I have in

123
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,880
any real investments.

124
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,639
» We do like CDs. We have money market so

125
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,960
money market accounts. So yes, we do

126
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:30,000
have investments but this is not

127
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,600

128
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,800

129
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,639

130
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,000

131
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:39,240
our next meeting? It's up to you. I'll

132
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,240

133
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,800
» I'll second.

134
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,639

00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,840
procurement policy.

143
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,960
» So nothing has really changed with that.

144
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:07,960
» Real quick while we do it. Um,

145
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,840
» So the the long and short of it is the

146
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,440
the current policy

147
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,600
um for a purchase contract between 750

to bid and then awarding the bid.

165
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:10,800
Nothing's changed here. It's the same as

00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:04,199
Sewer $12,942.68.

195
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,280
Power and light $35,5941

196
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,880
and trust and agency $1,250.

197
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,840
» I'll second it.

198
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,840
» Okay.

199
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,400
» I Niles.

200
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,800
» Hey,

201
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,440
» Shay.

202
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,919
» Hi.

203
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,840
» Sales.

204
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:23,520
» Hi.

205
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,039
» Item number four, city officials

206
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,735
reports.

207
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:28,735
Yeah, here you go. Enjoy. [laughter]

208
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,400
» Um, so a couple things. Uh, one

209
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:37,360
obviously with the poor weather we're

210
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,759
having lately with the snow and ice, um,

211
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,039
rock salt is always an issue. Uh, there

212
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:44,880
was just an article in the newspaper

213
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:47,360
that discussed how um, Cargill, who is

214
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,840
the supplier for the state and county

215
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,199
through the uh, their procurement

216
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,319
process, which we piggyback off of, is

217
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:58,879
having a hard time getting deliveries.

218
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:00,080
Uh, two year two years ago, it was a

219
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:02,160
production issue. they did not have

220
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,520
enough rock salt that they produced for

221
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,520
the year. So, I don't know if it's a

222
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,240
combination of both or one or the other,

223
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,080
but the newspaper article refers to the

224
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,639
transportation being an issue of rock

225
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,160
salt. So, we got two loads last week,

226
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:16,560
we'll get two more loads this week

227
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,599
potentially. Uh, and then it's anyone's

228
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,960
guess from there. So,

229
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:22,960
nothing much we can do about it other

230
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,879
than just be patient and wait for

231
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,720
hopefully this to get resolved. So,

232
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:29,120
that's the one thing. The other thing is

233
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,240
uh a few weeks ago there was an issue

234
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:34,159
brought to the commission about the uh

235
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,640
tractor snowb blowers the implement

236
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:39,519
tractor snowblowers that are operating

237
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,039
uh on the city streets. Uh we did a deep

238
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:45,440
dive into that with the New York State

239
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:47,360
Police also with uh the DMV and those

240
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,959
vehicles are non-registerable

241
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,800
non-insurable motor vehicles and cannot

242
00:08:50,959 --> 00:08:56,560
or should not be operated in that

243
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,640
manner. uh through further discussions

244
00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:00,399
uh with our insurance company, we

245
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,080
believe that we have a way to work

246
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:03,839
through that and that's to create what's

247
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,360
called a registry. A lot of other

248
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:08,320
municipalities are are entering into

249
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,320
this, Syracuse being one of them. Um to

250
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,560
create a registry here where someone can

251
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,959
come and register, provide that they

252
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:16,959
have the proper insurance to have these

253
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:19,200
vehicles operating

254
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:20,480
um and then we'll essentially be the

255
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,279
keeper of that to make sure that people

256
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:26,240
are in compliance. So little bit more

257
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:27,279
detail to work through, but um um

258
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,160
that'll be something that'll be

259
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:32,399
implemented next plowing season. We'll

260
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,600
continue business as usual this plowing

261
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:36,480
season as per the commission's

262
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,680
direction. So

263
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:43,440
uh next thing would be uh the pool. If

264
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:45,519
uh people saw, we were awarded um uh

265
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,000
funding through the swims program uh

266
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:52,560
$2.6 6 million

267
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,240
uh to basically redo the uh Glover pool

268
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:59,120
complex. That includes a zero entry pool

269
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:03,040
um uh splash pad and then improvements

270
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:06,160
to the pool house. It's an 8020 split,

271
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,800
meaning that the city has to pay 20%

272
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,760
$650,000. The state will pay the balance

273
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,600
of 2.6. It's a reimbursement grant. the

274
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,160
city will have to go out and borrow the

275
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,480
money and then file for reimbursement uh

276
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,160
throughout the process. Lot of details

277
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,200
still to work out. Rene and I had a

278
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,880
phone call with our engineers on Friday

279
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,720
uh waiting to hear back from the state

280
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,399
with what they call a GDA, a grant

281
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,440
dispersement agreement that should be

282
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:33,760
here hopefully the next 10 days or so.

283
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,120
Uh and then from there, uh the

284
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,240
commission is going to have to make a

285
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,200
decision if they're going to move this

286
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,560
grant forward and approve it and and go

287
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,000
forward with the project or not. So,

288
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,519
we've got a little bit of homework to do

289
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,680
in the next couple days here. Wait for

290
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:50,079
that uh grant dispersement agreement to

291
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:51,519
come in uh and look into a couple other

292
00:10:50,079 --> 00:10:53,279
particulars and then get back to the

293
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:56,880
commission so they can make a decision

294
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:58,079
to move this forward uh or not. So, if

295
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,399
anyone in the commission has any

296
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:03,440
questions, I'm happy to answer them.

297
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:05,839
So when we have the opportunity to make

298
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,320
small adjustments to it, is that

299
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:10,399
something that goes I guess is Barton

300
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,240
the dudis or whoever the engineer would

301
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:15,600
be. Is that something that they offer to

302
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:18,320
us? Is that something as a commission we

303
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,519
or do we incorporate the committee that

304
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,240
we put together? You know, I just ways

305
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:26,079
of addressing I guess potential changes

306
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,560
to this because so much is up in the

307
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:29,440
air.

308
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:31,680
» Yeah. So, so there are the ability to do

309
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,920
minor changes. The scope of work again

310
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:35,920
is a pool, a splash pad, and the pool

311
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,440
house. Um, you're not going to deviate

312
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,320
from those, but but I'll give a

313
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,240
hypothetical. Um, let's just say the

314
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,720
pool overage to build the pool, the

315
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,640
overage is $25,000

316
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,720
and we need to get that from somewhere

317
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,640
internally in the grant. we would submit

318
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,480
a request to Dazzy who is the grant

319
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:57,600
administrator ask them to move 25,000

320
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,720
out let's say for flooring uh locker

321
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,640
room flooring um to be applied towards

322
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,040
the pool portion right so there is a

323
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,920
little flexibility but the scope of work

324
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,120
is going to be the scope work that's

325
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,200
what the grant was applied for and

326
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:13,360
that's what was was accepted so um

327
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,160
what'll end up happening is the

328
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,480
administration will

329
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,880
go through the first phase let's say

330
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,040
with the engineers right on what is what

331
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,040
we think is needed. There will be a

332
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,240
public input portion at some point in

333
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:31,360
time. Um but the engineers will drive

334
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:34,160
the project based on the the the the

335
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:37,519
available funds and the designated or

336
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,760
intended purpose of the grant. So um

337
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:41,519
there won't be much flexibility there

338
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,200
other than getting some input and then

339
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:45,120
letting the engineers take that back and

340
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,680
chew on it and make a recommendation to

341
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,680
us. So

342
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,800
» Any question?

343
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:55,800
» Okay, that's all I have for you.

344
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,000
» Nothing. You just don't want to use

345
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,800
this.

346
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,800
» Yes. Michael

347
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,120
» All right. Uh item number five, public

348
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,680
comments. Does anyone wish to address

349
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,680
the commission tonight?

350
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,959
Sorry.

351
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,200
We

352
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:18,079
» Yes, you do.

353
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,279
» You have the microphone.

354
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:21,680
» Yeah.

355
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:25,079
» Please state your name and address.

356
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:25,079
» Name and address.

357
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:33,360
» Ray Krubsky, 326 Cheryl Road. Uh just a

358
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,279
couple questions. Um about a month ago,

359
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,040
you mentioned this skating rink was

360
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:39,360
going to start to be done and stuff and

361
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,360
then nothing ever happened. Is that

362
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,600
still going to happen or no?

363
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,680
So, um, as you know, we don't control

364
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,160
the weather when you have 55 degree

365
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,519
weather. Um, you know, we so we're not

366
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,959
going to spend the time and effort

367
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:53,120
knowing it's going to get warm. For

368
00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:54,240
example, um, we looked at the weather

369
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,199
this week.

370
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,040
» Um, could have changed, but Wednesday is

371
00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:02,000
supposed to be, I think, 45. Thursday is

372
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,320
supposed to be 36. So, the temp

373
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,440
temperature fluctuations don't allow for

374
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,560
uh, ice creation. So, the week later, I

375
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,839
think after Saturday, it's supposed to

376
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,920
get down in the 20s. So, we'll look at

377
00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:12,959
it there. You can only make

378
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,560
» You You said you were going to look at

379
00:14:12,959 --> 00:14:16,000
it beginning of December, and we had a

380
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,399
cold streak all the way through

381
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,199
Christmas and and the skating never

382
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,639
never [clears throat] happened.

383
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:23,440
» We We can We can split hairs if you

384
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:26,079
want, but the reality is it got cold, it

385
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,560
got warm. It got cold, it got warm. We

386
00:14:26,079 --> 00:14:30,399
had rain and snow and slush. So,

387
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,480
priority for our guys is to plow the

388
00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:34,959
streets. We have seven guys that work

389
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,560
for the DPW. So, when we get those snow

390
00:14:34,959 --> 00:14:38,000
storms, that's their priority. So, it's

391
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,160
going to supersede anything. And we

392
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,720
don't bring people in on overtime to

393
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,800
create ice. So they'll do it during

394
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,320
their work hours when available and try

395
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,720
to keep and stay on top of it. But

396
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,079
again, we don't control the weather. And

397
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,279
again, anyone that's seen what's

398
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:55,519
happened here, we had 2 feet of snow uh

399
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:55,839
less than a week ago and it's all gone.

400
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,040
So

401
00:14:55,839 --> 00:14:57,519
» Okay.

402
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,560
» Yeah.

403
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:03,920
» Okay. And then other just question

404
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,600
because I don't know the answer. um when

405
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,440
it comes to plowing parking lots and

406
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,120
stuff, how do you how do they figure

407
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,839
that out? Because the last time it

408
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,800
snowed a lot, there was 8 in out here in

409
00:15:11,839 --> 00:15:16,480
in our parking lot and the guys are out

410
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,079
plowing the churches and plowing in

411
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,199
front of Ebenezers in front of New York

412
00:15:18,079 --> 00:15:23,360
Pizza and we're getting calls and you

413
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:25,440
know, we're getting cars stuck a little

414
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,519
bit and this and that. I mean, can that

415
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,839
be like moved up on on the list after

416
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:32,240
the roads to the public safety building?

417
00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:34,240
» Yeah. So, just for factually speaking,

418
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,720
the city hall gets plowed before any of

419
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,160
the church parking lots. So, um

420
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,240
» Not not this last time.

421
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,600
» Okay. We can agree to disagree. Uh this

422
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,800
first time hearing of this. I did not

423
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,480
hear from any of your chiefs. Nobody

424
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,560
called

425
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,320
and and I just I I didn't talk to them.

426
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,639
I just asking the question.

427
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,720
» This parking lot is maintained uh in my

428
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:54,800
opinion very well by our guys. They work

429
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,360
hard. Uh they're out there clearing the

430
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,720
streets. I'm not sure what day that was.

431
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,160
I'm not sure if it was on a holiday

432
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,360
where we were down to a skeleton crew. I

433
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,480
don't know those details because it's

434
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,480
the first time hearing of it. So, if you

435
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,920
want to give me an exact date and time,

436
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,959
I'm happy to talk to Adam and we can

437
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,160
look into it further.

438
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:08,560
» I didn't write down the date and time,

439
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,519
but

440
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,519
» Okay. So, I I don't know. I was just

441
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:16,519
curious how that worked. So, all right.

442
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,519
Thanks.

443
00:16:19,199 --> 00:16:22,600
» Anybody else?

444
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:29,759
» Okay. Closing public comment. Uh number

445
00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:32,880
six, authorize the sale of the griddle

446
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:34,800
on Auctions International.

447
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,120
» So what this is, it's the old it's the

448
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,360
old griddle, the the concession stand.

449
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,000
We use some of the uh Vernon money to

450
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,959
replace the griddle and the deep fryer.

451
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,880
Correct, Barry? So um the deep fryer

452
00:16:44,959 --> 00:16:48,800
unfortunately was not salvageable or

453
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,199
worth anything. So that was thrown away.

454
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,320
Um but this griddle could get a couple

455
00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:53,759
bucks from it.

456
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,519
» So that's what that is.

457
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:57,680
» Be a motion.

458
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:58,480
I'll second it.

459
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,880
» Pull.

460
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,440
» Hi.

461
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,560
» Mhm.

462
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,120
» Hi.

463
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,440
» Niles.

464
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:01,839
» Hi.

465
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,320
» Shay.

466
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:02,800
» Hi.

467
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,439
» Sales.

468
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,679
» Hi.

469
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:10,400
» Moving on to number eight on the list.

470
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:13,280
The resolution to bond for Digger Derek

471
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:17,439
P&L.

472
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:19,679
» So, what this is is um the old Digger

473
00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:21,839
Derek was replaced. We placed this order

474
00:17:19,679 --> 00:17:24,240
a little over two years ago through MAC.

475
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:26,319
The cabin chassis came in and then went

476
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,079
to Altech. It was at Altech for I want

477
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:31,200
to say nine or 10 months being built

478
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:33,679
out. Uh it was delivered about two weeks

479
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,080
ago to power and light. Uh this was

480
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:38,480
accounted for in the rate study increase

481
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,039
that was done two years ago, but now we

482
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,120
need authorization to go out and borrow

483
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:45,360
for it to pay for it. And again, the

484
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:47,840
rate the rates that are being charged

485
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:49,840
will create enough revenue annually to

486
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,200
pay for it. I think Rene correct if I'm

487
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,799
wrong. We're probably gonna take a ban

488
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,120
out on this for five years. Is that

489
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:54,400
correct?

490
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:58,000
» That's what I was would assume. And

491
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,960
that's for like $23,653.

492
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,080
Yeah.

493
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:06,640
» To be exactly.

494
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:08,799
» Okay. Uh do I have a motion?

495
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,360
» I'll second.

496
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:09,760
» Cola.

497
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:10,400

» Congratulations.

invested and see what the rules are and

515
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:40,240
see if we can start investing more.

516
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:44,400
» I can get you with us if you want to

517
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,120

» Sure. J,

519
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:49,120
» We can start with the commissioner.

520
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,640
» Commissioner

» Billy, thank you for your service while

ask Kevin.

524
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,720
» That's all I have to say about that.

525
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:00,400
» All right. Well, thank you all. I

526
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,760

two as well. So, um, I got nothing else.
