They covered some of the existing material out there with some tarps to try and keep the water off of it. And they're hoping that I have their report done in about a week week and a half and start lining, depending on the temperatures and the weather. So with that new surface, they have GPS guided equipment that we're getting, and that was the ponds. And it was constructed. 181 00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:33,540 and keep perceiving and hopefully not have a winner shut down about it, it's fingers crossed. 182 00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:38,020 We've got about eight inches of snow in that one, so we're happy to see you guys a lot right here. 183 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,760 We were kind of panic in this moment when we saw that. 184 00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:48,300 So right now, I mean, we're meeting permit limits on one cell. 185 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,780 We have to make it through the winter and go into spring, but obviously we're all pushing the train 186 00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:55,840 and get it done this year, possible. 187 00:15:56,260 --> 00:15:57,960 Hopefully the weather holds out for us, 188 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,120 but some of that's not the contractor's control, 189 00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:02,240 but they're still pushing 190 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,100 and that's still what they think can happen. 191 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,440 So it can't, or they're out with that. 192 00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:11,120 I think from the last meeting, 193 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,820 when we had those biosolids, 194 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,200 I had sent an email to Brian to kind of give it an update, 195 00:16:15,380 --> 00:16:19,620 about 430 cubic yards, or a dry tons of biosolid 196 00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:20,820 over the mid quantities. 197 00:16:20,820 --> 00:16:28,880 of these. And so that puts us somewhere around $900,000 over the budget. And so we know where 198 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,080 that number sits now, and we're kind of estimating the forward until we got to the bottom of that. 199 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,060 So those are the numbers that we have with the biosolids. And now we're just trying to get through 200 00:16:37,060 --> 00:16:40,980 the rest of the construction and try to minimize any other stakeholders that could have had that. 201 00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:46,920 We still have two and a half months left of construction. The biggest thing is just trying to make 202 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,740 sure we only do this rate increase one time. We know exactly what these numbers are and 203 00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:56,660 then we're trying to push to get the contract repaid and it's a couple of process to go through 204 00:16:56,660 --> 00:17:01,700 another rate increase. So we're just trying to gather as much information. The report was 205 00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:06,360 another big unknown and I feel like we're getting close to the end of that and then everything 206 00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:11,480 from there is something that we've brought in and built up so hopefully that some of those 207 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,840 and no one's go away and we wouldn't mind 208 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,540 any other change orders, so that's kind of where we're at right now. 209 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,640 I know we had a funding call last week 210 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,760 and that was one thing they were asking 211 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,380 when everyone's trying to get that number on this. 212 00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:30,400 I don't know, with SRF, you can always give back money. 213 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,680 I don't know if we want to set a number 214 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,320 above what's out there currently to make sure 215 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,280 that we have a little bit of money in there for contingency. 216 00:17:39,740 --> 00:17:44,300 So when we go to close, you know, that money's there and then get back anything else for 217 00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:48,300 SROF, but at some point here we're going to have to determine what that number is and 218 00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:49,340 to move forward. 219 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,120 So we have another funding collect, but we don't have any mistakes, no matter what you say. 220 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,500 So I feel like we're... 221 00:17:55,500 --> 00:18:00,300 I know the bond council is wanting to have the number by then, hopefully we'll have the 222 00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:04,060 pond line, have that all done a little bit further, we're working on the headworks building. 223 00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:08,300 We've had a couple of concrete borders, there's some wet cures and some weak access that 224 00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:12,040 we do one of those, and then we start back going and start working our way up. 225 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,160 But there is still, like I said, to have lots of construction and, you know, you get one. 226 00:18:18,980 --> 00:18:21,920 There's contingency there for early things come up, things change. 227 00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:23,980 You just, you just don't know what that matter is going to be. 228 00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:27,740 I just want to make sure whatever number we decide that we assume that, you know, 229 00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:30,280 that we still have some contingency within the remainder of the project. 230 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,860 I would not go with exactly what we're sitting today. 231 00:18:38,420 --> 00:18:44,380 I don't know if you guys want to discuss on that more or how we want to proceed to get 232 00:18:44,380 --> 00:18:45,700 to that another by the end of the month. 233 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,000 I can keep giving updates and recommendation maybe. 234 00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:55,060 But there's going to be some direction of what would be helpful for you guys to think 235 00:18:55,060 --> 00:18:59,340 about as we're trying to move forward and make sure we don't have money to pay the contract 236 00:18:59,340 --> 00:19:01,460 after by the time of December, it goes up the target. 237 00:19:04,460 --> 00:19:07,460 Your updates and your recommendations are very valuable. 238 00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:08,760 Thank you. 239 00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:14,980 I feel like a couple of things on the coming up 240 00:19:14,980 --> 00:19:19,260 with the number, I don't want them to go into a rate increase 241 00:19:19,620 --> 00:19:20,580 and over increase. 242 00:19:22,220 --> 00:19:26,660 That's where I'm going to have enough and not too much. 243 00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:27,160 Yeah. 244 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:27,920 Yeah. 245 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:35,500 I did go through the local funds part of the project today because I know as 246 00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:41,500 a couple things called trash and had a conversation with her. When we paid off 247 00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:48,940 the loan, the original loan pursuer in last June 30th, I did not close out the 248 00:19:48,940 --> 00:19:54,460 loan reserve fund knowing that we were gonna have to add additional funds. So I left 249 00:19:54,460 --> 00:20:02,880 that $15,339 in there, I transferred out of the local funds out of $400,000, the additional 250 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:10,280 $21,324. So I told Trish, I said there is that additional $15,339 that's still available 251 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:19,460 in local funds. And then also looking at her and we figured it out, she had the PPR as part 252 00:20:19,460 --> 00:20:23,920 of the local funds and I said we did pay it out of local funds but we paid it out of operations 253 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,820 of maintenance in 2021-21-22, I think, was the year. 254 00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:32,980 But it's not out of the year 400,000 that was 255 00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:35,120 budgeted for this project. 256 00:20:35,620 --> 00:20:37,200 So she's putting that back in there. 257 00:20:38,220 --> 00:20:45,720 Right now, we have 625,697 in the replacement depreciation 258 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:52,640 fund for the sewer prop, sewer, 364,861, because she 259 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,120 as a draw that we added in there today is still available 260 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:02,980 about original $400,000 to be put on the project. 261 00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:07,260 And then we're going to be adding another $35,000 262 00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:10,160 into the R&D fund. 263 00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,080 The right now, that leaves a total of, 264 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,260 as of today, it's $255,804 with the additional $35,000. 265 00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:23,780 By the end of the year, it would be 290,000, 804. 266 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:31,220 So my question is, is part of this to help with not having to raise the rate? 267 00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:39,480 Is we need to have some in the R&D in case we have something else happen? 268 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:47,900 Would you be interested in using some of that 290,000? 269 00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:50,380 up to $200,000, $250,000. 270 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,000 What would you be comfortable with?

A sole 328 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:55,800 operator went out to the lagoon on a Saturday by himself. No safety equipment, 329 00:25:56,420 --> 00:26:04,220 he slipped and fell in and drowned. It took him a couple days to notice 330 00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:13,600 missing and then it took him more to use cameras and to go get him. So the, when we did the 331 00:26:15,180 --> 00:26:20,260 lagoon review of the safety, that was one of the things that they were saying that we had to do 332 00:26:20,260 --> 00:26:26,700 and then MMIA also brought it up and that's why we have it. There's going to be a whole process 333 00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:31,580 of also trainings and things that roof will be putting together. I love her for that. 334 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,760 But they'll have to wear lightfests so we need to purchase some decent lightfests for the guys. 335 00:26:40,620 --> 00:26:46,840 They will have, I think they're going to, they're trying a app on the phone that's a free app right now 336 00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:54,840 to see if it would work for transmitting and talking out there. And they also are putting 337 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,720 poles and those guys left but they're I think they're putting poles in at the 338 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,460 four corners of all each of the legumes that will have to have throw ropes. Also 339 00:27:03,460 --> 00:27:09,040 because the old legumes had rip wrap partway up and you could crawl out on the 340 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:15,020 rocks these don't. These legumes will not, they will be just the light straight 341 00:27:15,020 --> 00:27:20,120 liner straight in. There's nothing to grab on to. So this is why this policy came 342 00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:23,320 and deploy and we're trying to get them in line now. 343 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,200 I moved that we adopt. 344 00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:33,040 Resolution number 5, 6, 7. 345 00:27:34,780 --> 00:27:36,420 Also, can you 346 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,760 play the discussion on this? 347 00:27:41,980 --> 00:27:42,420 Question. 348 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:43,060 Hi. 349 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:43,940 Hi. 350 00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:44,440 Hi. 351 00:27:55,260 --> 00:27:55,960 What do you see? 352 00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:00,880 The auditors love it though, I'm sure. 353 00:28:02,140 --> 00:28:04,400 There are the ones who brought it to the tension 354 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,600 and came out of their mouth. 355 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,600 And do you have a cybersecurity policy? 356 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,400 And I went, not really, when I was crossing my eyes 357 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:17,900 and when I went looking for one, I got incident response 358 00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:18,600 policies. 359 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,460 And I'm like, that's the end part to me. 360 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,660 First part is what you should be doing, 361 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,420 the trainings, the passwords, things like that. 362 00:28:29,980 --> 00:28:32,020 So this is what we got. 363 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,480 And this is what we came up with. 364 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:42,000 version I've been working on this for three months. I did not include what they call 365 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:52,500 the incident response team personnel in that policy because it changes. I mean, people, 366 00:28:52,580 --> 00:28:58,960 people in positions change and that what it says in the policy is that it would be updated 367 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:06,480 as necessary. So like, when, right now, it's Ronnie. There's the lead. Well, Ronnie, when 368 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,440 she's done in December 31st, it's going to swap to him. If that, her name is in that 369 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:17,340 policy, then you would have to amend the policy. Oh, no. So I'm trying to avoid the title 370 00:29:17,340 --> 00:29:22,160 of the matter. Double-stepping everything constantly so that it kind of moves to the future and 371 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,160 helps everybody out. 372 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,320 Jiggle. 373 00:29:26,350 --> 00:29:29,010 Hopefully this will satisfy Yardra. 374 00:29:30,730 --> 00:29:31,330 Do we do this again? 375 00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:35,160 Okay. 376 00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:38,340 Resolution number 568. 377 00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:41,740 A resolution to adopt the cybersecurity and incident 378 00:29:41,740 --> 00:29:43,940 responsibility of the town of superior. 379 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,160 I move that we adopt resolution number 568. 380 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:51,640 Second. 381 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:51,700 I'm sorry. 382 00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:54,160 I'm sorry. 383 00:29:54,740 --> 00:29:55,660 I'm sorry. 384 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:07,480 Okay, any further discussion?

I have a really hard, I do have a really hard problem with that one, 408 00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:05,940 okay? I counted up the number of times that I contacted them for help this year, 409 00:33:05,940 --> 00:33:07,300 That was four. 410 00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:09,820 And that was no kidding. 411 00:33:11,060 --> 00:33:12,980 And I was saying that. 412 00:33:13,540 --> 00:33:15,920 I said I contacted them. 413 00:33:16,660 --> 00:33:17,140 No, no. 414 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,900 So another story. 415 00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:20,120 Right. 416 00:33:20,740 --> 00:33:22,980 They're famous words right now. 417 00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,600 They've turned more into a regulatory, 418 00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:27,080 and the bureau, 419 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,940 and their famous words are, 420 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,560 we can't answer that. 421 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,320 It's not our liability. 422 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:45,920 So anyway, but ours is done and it's been accepted, the state I checked on the portal a couple 423 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,640 days ago and it has been accepted, so they haven't complained about anything. So the other 424 00:33:50,640 --> 00:34:00,940 portion of my report has to do with last year when Mary Mueller did the budget and she entered 425 00:34:00,940 --> 00:34:05,960 in the wrong levies. Actually, she entered in the previous year's levies, which caused 426 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:11,180 part of our cash flow issue at this year. And we'll probably take a couple of years to 427 00:34:11,180 --> 00:34:15,600 get out of that year, that problem. But I did one of the requirements that the auditor 428 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,620 wanted me to do. And you guys want me to do was go check and make sure that she had entered 429 00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:29,380 the correct number this year. And Ruth and I verified she sent this around. Our resolutions 430 00:34:29,380 --> 00:34:35,600 are attached. She also walked it through so that she showed both both of the 431 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:42,320 spread sheet she does and then also into the black mountain so I could find a 432 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,060 lot of way through and I did go over personally and thank her for making 433 00:34:47,060 --> 00:34:49,760 sure and showing us the process and then it was done for. 434 00:34:52,450 --> 00:34:54,190 But this is for you guys to 435 00:34:54,190 --> 00:34:58,290 go ahead and look and verify too. But yeah Ruth and I both verified it. I verified it 436 00:34:58,290 --> 00:35:06,730 it was verified and then we verified it together because it overcharged on the SID, but it 437 00:35:06,730 --> 00:35:12,470 undercharged on both the fire hall lawn and the towns and it affected the cash for the 438 00:35:12,470 --> 00:35:16,670 general obligation bond and for the town it affected it pretty good this year. 439 00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:21,920 So hopefully that will ease out, we'll 440 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:26,200 get through, 441 00:35:28,420 --> 00:35:29,760 but I did want to let you know that that 442 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:29,960 was. 443 00:35:32,620 --> 00:35:38,520 I was gonna ask you that, but then you, yeah, no, I brought that with me so I can show 444 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,540 everybody what she sent us and that. 445 00:35:40,780 --> 00:35:45,140 And I was glad that it wasn't just the spreadsheets that she showed me that it went into black 446 00:35:45,140 --> 00:35:46,080 mountain correctly. 447 00:35:46,660 --> 00:35:48,060 Because that's what it did. 448 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,640 Because that was what the claim was last year is that it didn't transfer properly, it didn't 449 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,200 transfer. 450 00:35:53,200 --> 00:36:02,460 And what it did is that we had to go back and do all of that, redo that levy form, and we ended up with 451 00:36:02,460 --> 00:36:09,720 carry-over meals, which actually ended up lowering that with them with the lower taxable value 452 00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:17,060 this year, plus the lower end year end cash, that contributed to the budget crunch of, you know, 453 00:36:17,060 --> 00:36:24,120 I'm cutting 50 grand left this year and asked for a lot of a lot of projects got cut out this fiscal year 454 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:29,220 So hopefully we'll get past that and start being able to yeah 455 00:36:37,090 --> 00:36:39,070 The sense agenda 456 00:36:39,070 --> 00:36:40,050 I 457 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,020 like the motion to prove the consent agenda 458 00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:47,560 I'll second 459 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,400 In for the discussion 460 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,840 Oh yeah, let's talk about it 461 00:36:57,720 --> 00:36:58,720 No 462 00:37:08,390 --> 00:37:09,010 further questions? 463 00:37:10,350 --> 00:37:13,870 Any further discussion? 464 00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:22,120 Question? 465 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,340 I... 466 00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:23,840 I... 467 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,340 I... 468 00:37:24,340 --> 00:37:24,380 I... 469 00:37:26,820 --> 00:37:27,820 I...
