Good morning, Vice President Clement and directors. Um, 21 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:55,920 I would like to acknowledge this morning Ryan Schulz for his 10y year 22 00:01:52,720 --> 00:02:01,920 anniversary. And you don't see Ryan in the audience here because um, he is on 23 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:08,479 his way to Sacramento right now to look at motor control centers. Um, but he did 24 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:14,959 I did speak with him this morning and he did express his gratitude for receiving 25 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,560 his 10year anniversary. So anyway, congratulations to Ryan for his 10 year 26 00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:22,680 anniversary. >> I think we should express our gratitude. 27 00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:28,599 » All right. >> Thank you. 28 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:38,560 Send calendar.

I >> pass. 31 00:02:53,040 --> 00:03:00,080 Okay. Why don't we move over to the regular agenda? Have to talk about 32 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,400 employee benefits. Back to Vicki. 33 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:13,920 » Good morning, June. Directors. I just intended to provide sort of a 34 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:18,800 quick overview of what I'm noticing for today. Um, if you do have additional 35 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:25,120 questions, I can do the deeper dive. But TTSA contracts with Cal PERS for our 36 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:30,560 medical benefits. Historically, prior to now, we've had PERS platinum and PERS 37 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:37,440 gold available to us within our service district or our service zip code. Um, 38 00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:42,159 the gold plan costs less than the the platinum, but also offers fewer 39 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:46,400 benefits. TTSA best save on premium costs when an employee enrolls in the 40 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:53,840 gold plan. In addition to the medical plan, TTSA 41 00:03:49,200 --> 00:04:00,560 provides an HRA and the HRA um is equivalent to the deductible amount for 42 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:06,640 the chosen medical plan as well as any cost sharing if the employee opts to 43 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:13,280 enroll into a plan other than platinum. This year we'll be adding an HMO and an 44 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:19,919 EGO. Those are now available in TTSA's service zip code. So, we need to make 45 00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:26,000 changes to our resolution um for employee benefits and that will 46 00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:32,320 be we will be adding the EPO and the HMO and we will also be making changes to 47 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:36,400 the H contribution for those plans and we're also doing just a little bit of 48 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,960 minor cleanup and language within the resolution 49 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,040 um which is previous previous resolutions that are now kind of over 50 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:52,560 the stuff Um the recommendation is that um the 51 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:58,880 board approve um resolution 10-2026 as well as a vivid A and I can answer 52 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:05,919 any question that I >> So is it fair to assume that the plans 53 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:13,520 are cheaper than the platinum plan? >> Yes, in in general. So, so 54 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:18,800 » well the HMO plan is going to be available to employees in Nevada. So, 55 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:26,000 there'll be a Nevada network and the premium cost within Nevada for the HMO 56 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:34,639 is very similar to the platinum plan. It is very slightly less, maybe $10 a month 57 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:41,520 less. However, the HMO um rates within this um this region, region one, are 58 00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:47,000 much cheaper than the platinum plan. Thank you. Anyone else have any other 59 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000 questions? 60 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:55,360 Yeah. Okay. Motion. >> Move to approve. 61 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,120 » Second. All in favor? >> I She passes. 62 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,840 » Thank you. >> Okay. That was pretty straightforward. 63 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,280 Why don't we go over to the departmental reports? Start with the operations. 64 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,800 » Good morning, board of directors. Um, for you that don't know me, my name is 65 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:30,560 Greg O'Hare. I'm the chief plant operator TPSA. And, uh, I'm just filling 66 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,560 in for Michael today. He's on vacation. So, 67 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,759 uh just happy to report all discharge requirements were met for the month. Um 68 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:46,560 kind of there's a little more significance to that statement uh based 69 00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:51,840 on being July and the increased loadings to the plant which causes increased 70 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:56,800 stress kind of throughout the climate. Uh there's kind of one significant thing 71 00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:00,720 to update you on for the that we performed this month and that was we did 72 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,919 perform a plant shutdown. Uh and that was to assist in the eye department so 73 00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:10,720 they could deenergize some equipment u so they can get some pictures for uh our 74 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:13,919 engineering consultants. Other than that that's kind of all I 75 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,160 have. I don't know if you guys have any questions on any of the data um that's 76 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,919 been submitted to you guys and our graphs associated with them. 77 00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:35,240 point data averages and other limits 78 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,039 questions. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. 79 00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:00,639 Good morning, board of directors. So, we seem to be filming for one of the quick 80 00:07:57,919 --> 00:08:04,039 board meetings that I can recall. So, >> not so fast. 81 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:12,080 » Slow down. Good. 82 00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:13,840 » We got a close session coming. >> I'm just going to do my part here to get 83 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,840 done. >> Okay. 84 00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:23,120 All right. So for the month month of July, uh staff did provide support for 85 00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:26,720 um what you're used to seeing with digestion improvements, clean water 86 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:32,959 revitalization project, which we are no longer calling in red. Um ITO domain 87 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:40,959 controller split uh the network upgrade project and the SCA upgrade project 88 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:44,800 which um has also uh gone live. So right now we're actively uh seeking a 89 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,640 consultant right now. also working with engineering on that for sure that I get 90 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,720 touched on later. Uh some of the significant task tasks 91 00:08:50,959 --> 00:08:57,120 that we performed um throughout the month is that we did complete complete 92 00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:02,720 the defensible space work at pond number three um and along road. We did get some 93 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:07,839 questions from uh tsd about uh some of the work that was going on out at uh the 94 00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:11,600 pond. So it's pretty visible, but uh really did make a pretty big significant 95 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:14,560 difference out there. We were really able to remove a lot of the brush out 96 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:19,839 there. It's very noticeable from the highway. Um, we completed the annual 97 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:24,160 TRRI visual inspection. We send somebody out each year to go walk along, check 98 00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:28,000 manholes, check for anything visible um that might have been damaged throughout 99 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:33,360 the year and the snow and debris that uh falls along the TRF. 100 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:36,399 Uh we did place a main fuel oil line um and some of the insulation. There's a 101 00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:41,760 picture later in the board report for that. Um we completed construction area 102 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:45,040 of vegetation removal and clearing. I'm sure you noticed that coming into the 103 00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:48,640 plant on the lefth hand side. Um that's in preparation of digestion 104 00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:53,200 improvements. Uh we're going to continue doing some more uh expansion of that 105 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:58,320 area to give, you know, the crews enough room to stage all of their equipment. Uh 106 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:05,600 we replaced an oil single bearings uh on the BNR strainer. Um and we also did the 107 00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:10,720 plant shutdown for switch gear number 27 for project investigation like Bar 108 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:18,399 alluded to earlier. Um, we did some scaling of some uh ammonia probe or 109 00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:25,360 ammonia probe at BNR and installed a backup server enclosure the remote at a 110 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:31,600 remote location. So, um, any questions about the notable tasks 111 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,519 » of the pictures? >> All right. Yeah, we can jump right into 112 00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:40,880 those. U, not much to report. We did have a good month. Um we we knocked out 113 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:46,560 quite a bit on uh our corrective uh work orders uh this month. So um we're able 114 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,680 to make a good dent in that. So um but they do tend to stay pretty flat. There 115 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,959 just seems to be a little bit of an uptick this time of year. Um some of the 116 00:10:52,880 --> 00:11:00,399 pictures of before and after for the construction yard clearing. It's 117 00:10:56,959 --> 00:11:05,120 actually uh before was on the right. Um and on the left you can see we cleared 118 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:09,839 that out. got a lot got rid of a lot of that old vegetation, the old rocks. Um I 119 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:16,640 think that's going to be a lot better for our our construction management. 120 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:22,640 Uh on the left there, we've got fuel oil line replacement. Uh uh that presented 121 00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:26,959 some issues for us. Um but uh we were able to get it done and was a lot more 122 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:32,079 complex than we thought it would be. So um on the right we've got the server 123 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:36,800 enclosure um being installed. That's for one of our backup servers for all of our 124 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:41,839 SCADA systems. So that stays online just in case we have a failure. Um should 125 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:45,920 automatically transfer over working on it. 126 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:49,680 And some pictures of our switch gear investigation for one of the bigger 127 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,760 projects that's for clean water revitalization and our everybody's 128 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,600 favorite suit on the right hand side, a 40 cal suit. Everybody loves wearing 129 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:02,560 that thing when it's middle of summer. So, 130 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,120 and that's all we have in pictures. >> Hey, Paul. 131 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,839 » Yes, sir. >> Who's doing the landscaping out front? 132 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:16,600 » Uh, that would be the operations team. >> Okay. 133 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,600 They're doing a good job. 134 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,079 » They're doing a good job. >> It's looking great. 135 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,839 » Thank you. >> Whoever's in charge there, Greg, tell 136 00:12:21,839 --> 00:12:27,920 them that uh thank you. >> Yep. It's come a long ways in the last 137 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:31,040 uh couple of months. >> Very much agree. That's great. Well 138 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,200 done. >> Thank you. 139 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:51,279 » Morning. I'm Kristen Davis, the lab director here for Scott. So, I will be 140 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:56,320 giving the technical services report today. 141 00:12:53,200 --> 00:13:00,720 Um so starting with engineering the clean water revitalization project looks 142 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:05,120 like the preliminary design report by Corollo should be done very soon. 143 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,639 They'll get reviewed and then it'll be brought to the board for special study 144 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:13,360 session that has been scheduled I believe in the next month or so. 145 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:19,680 Um the digestion improvements project 60% design by Brown and Caldwell is done 146 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:25,440 and in review so we're get that. the networks upgrade project 90% design by 147 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:30,399 Jacobs is in review. Um, a lot of reviews going on right now. SCADA 148 00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:36,399 upgrade project, the uh request for quote has been issued. So, waiting on 149 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:42,160 that. The TRRI rehab project. Um, they're doing a design service scoping 150 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:47,360 and drafting the request for that is engineering. 151 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:52,800 For lab, we continue to do the CDPH COVID sampling for Department of Health 152 00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:58,000 that they have a a grant that goes through 2027. So, we'll be continuing to 153 00:13:54,959 --> 00:14:04,240 do that and then once that ends, we will see if they get more funding for that or 154 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:08,399 not. Uh the Tiger Baron soil sampling, we do that mainly in the summer months. 155 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:12,000 That has been busy for us this year. Every month we've been getting a bunch 156 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:17,040 of samples, but continuing to do that. Everything looks good so far. We are 157 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:20,560 looking at a new VOD incubator and getting quotes. We've gotten all the 158 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:25,040 quotes. We've picked out incubator. We should be ordering that in the next week 159 00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:28,720 or so. And our ion chromatography machine is very old, due for 160 00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:33,120 replacement. So, that one we're getting quotes for. There's very few of those 161 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:40,000 machines out there. Um hopefully that will get replaced real soon, too. 162 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:45,440 For it, they have completed the end of life Adobe software replacement. 163 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:50,240 the continued testing of CIS computer security templates. Not really an IT 164 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:55,040 person, so let them hear if you have questions. 165 00:14:53,199 --> 00:15:01,279 They're finalizing their policies for computer placements and the uh USB 166 00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:07,199 storage and file storage updates they're working on. And Lucas went to the Black 167 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:12,880 Hat conference in Vegas, so he has a little mini presentation on 168 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:18,480 that. Have any questions? Hey, I got a question in regards to the 169 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:24,399 barium testing. Are they testing loads that are coming 170 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:31,360 in from excavation projects or um are they how does they how do they test? So 171 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:35,600 we do well we do the testing they the loads they bring in based on how many 172 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:40,959 loads decides how many samples we grab and we do a random sampling and then 173 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:47,199 those get sent out for burum and other metals and whatnot. Um if it comes back 174 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:51,199 hot and they clear the pile we scrape it and then we do another sampling to make 175 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,440 sure none is left over. Um if it comes back fine they can grade it into the 176 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,680 ground >> and that's every load that comes in. 177 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,519 It's every random sampling. >> It's random sampling. So it's every 178 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:06,240 grouping. So once a month we take how many loads came in and calculate how 179 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:12,800 many samples we do and do a random sampling between all of them. 180 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:15,600 » Now when the load comes in, do you um um identify where that load comes from? 181 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,320 » Mhm. >> Okay. 182 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,560 » Yeah. >> Thank you. 183 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,160 Morning 184 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:33,279 board of directors Luc specialist. Um thank you for the opportunity for being 185 00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:39,360 able to go to the blackout conference in uh Las Vegas over um course of the 3rd 186 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:44,959 through 6th of beginning of this month. Um 187 00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:49,759 see if I can get to um so uh at the um Black Hat uh 188 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:55,519 conference it was a combination uh started with Black Hat uh ended with 189 00:16:52,079 --> 00:17:03,759 Defcon. Um what the what each of these uh conferences were um uh providing was 190 00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:09,439 uh valuable insight to uh ways that uh hackers are interjecting themselves into 191 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:15,760 systems right now using aentic AIS uh to uh crack open back doors uh and be able 192 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:21,120 to control things uh within our own network. So, getting a lot of the uh 193 00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:26,160 insight uh and and focusing on these training sessions that I was able to go 194 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:29,760 into, uh really got to uh we really got to dive down into the weeds on exactly 195 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:34,799 how they're doing these things so that we can be uh more in the know uh when it 196 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:40,559 comes to defending ourselves against these things and uh uh the key pieces of 197 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:46,720 uh equipment that we deploy here at TTSA that keeps us uh uh on the defense for 198 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:52,960 it. So, um, uh, again, it was a great, uh, great conference. Learned, uh, a ton 199 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:57,039 at this. The, uh, bunch of bunch of hackers, uh, much more high level than 200 00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:01,200 me being around them, getting to, uh, network with them and everything was 201 00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:04,799 just phenomenal. Um, but a couple of pictures for you guys from the 202 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:09,760 conference um, here. And uh one of the uh one of the 203 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:14,400 other things that uh was fun about the entire conference was the aftermath of 204 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:18,640 it was uh uh people were learning such good things there that uh one of the 205 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:23,360 Delta flights coming home to uh uh Georgia. Uh one of the folks from Black 206 00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:29,039 Hat decided to hack the Wi-Fi uh deploy a uh evil twin network and 207 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:33,280 started trying to steal people's uh uh information. So again, we learned a lot 208 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:39,400 about this stuff so that we can better defend against it. So, uh, a lot of fun 209 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,400 and appreciate the opportunity. 210 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:52,000 Morning, Liz Cook, your fearless finance leader. 211 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,360 The first time I've approached the board in the meeting. I don't think that's 212 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:59,440 ever happened before. I thank you for that opportunity to only have this 213 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,840 report. I appreciate that. So, we're here to talk about what the 214 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,600 administrative team has been doing for the last month. On the risk and safety 215 00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:08,480 side, uh, just this week, we held our quarterly safety committee meeting. It 216 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,080 might have been last week, the days run together for me. Um, there's also 217 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,360 working on updating the chemical business plan for Nevada County so that 218 00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:19,520 folks know about chemicals we have here and how to respond to them. As well as 219 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:23,120 doing an overall audit of our individual training assignments, making sure that 220 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:28,080 everyone has access to the training that they need to take. On the finance side, 221 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:31,919 same time of year, same story. We're still wrapping up year end and preparing 222 00:19:29,679 --> 00:19:34,960 for our audit that will end very soon. I have a few more reports uh to bring 223 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:40,080 forward to the board next month and we can put that to rest. We've also taken 224 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:44,000 some trainings. I attended a CIP 2-day course that a finance officers 225 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,360 association put on so we can learn a little bit more about developing the 226 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:51,600 structure of our CIP and I can also include some more funding information. 227 00:19:49,679 --> 00:19:55,120 Um, accounting for bonds and accounting for debt funded capital assets are 228 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,880 something our accounting supervisor participated in so that we can up our 229 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:02,000 game for that because as you know we keep making decisions here at the board 230 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,720 level that cause us to have to account for things like that. 231 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:10,799 On the billing and customer service side status quo, we got all of the billing on 232 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:15,200 the tax role. The delinquencies were completed last month. And something new, 233 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:19,679 you may have noticed that there was something missing from your board packet 234 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:23,600 or maybe you didn't. There's normally billing reports included each month. 235 00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:29,120 We'll now be bringing those to the full board semianually and making a more 236 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:32,720 robust report out of it. On the other items, purchasing handle 237 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:36,960 all of the POS and requisitions and general responsibilities as normal and 238 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,480 performed various administrative duties at the pleasure of the board and the 239 00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:44,080 general manager. Happy to answer any questions. 240 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:48,320 » I'm disappointed I missed the two-day course on bond accounting. I mean to be 241 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:55,440 fair it was only portions of the day not full 10our day. 242 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:59,000 » Yeah there was a lot of information so thank you very much 243 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:08,480 going up. >> Good morning board. Um brief general 244 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:13,760 manager report. Um lot going on. Tail of the tape is obviously the traveling road 245 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:20,000 show. Um it was a great month. Went and uh spoke to several member agencies, 246 00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:24,720 several local stakeholder uh groups and got pretty universal appreciation for 247 00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:28,559 the project. So it sounds like people are kind of understanding. Uh it also 248 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,720 sounds like I hear a lot of the same story. So there's a lot of 249 00:21:30,159 --> 00:21:37,600 infrastructure um that's that's in need of repair or replacement in California 250 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:41,679 and it's tough to figure out a plan to make it happen. So, we're uh we are 251 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:46,400 definitely in good company. Uh but we've been doing usual things with the 252 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,520 projects, meetings with Corollo. Uh you know, Scott's out at the moment, so I'm 253 00:21:48,159 --> 00:21:55,840 kind of the point person for the project decisions. And uh you know, right now we 254 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:59,120 just uh initiated testing some tankage out here because we plan on reusing some 255 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:04,480 of the facility for the new facility. So, just usual stuff going on. uh public 256 00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:09,679 outreach kind of calming down a little bit now as far as you know tent and 257 00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:14,559 flyer type outreach. Um I think we might have one more two more the big truck and 258 00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:16,720 » there's something on a Thursday night in Truckucky I 259 00:22:15,919 --> 00:22:18,799 » block party. >> Yes. 260 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,720 » Yeah, the trucky block party. We're planning on attending that and um we've 261 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,440 got Michael Peak that'll be attending. So if you want he he does a great 262 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:30,240 presentation so if you want to go bother him that' be fantastic. 263 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:35,200 uh strategic plan implementation is kind of now that we're definitely rolling. Um 264 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:41,840 I've been focusing very heavily from my perspective on some of the more employee 265 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:46,400 focused um targets. So going to be putting together um this deal from TCPOD 266 00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:51,520 and I'm going to create a a leadership academy voluntary um offer anyone in 267 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,840 need that's interested in opportunity to come learn about leadership learn about 268 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:59,440 qualities um maybe even learn some basic administrative higher level kind of 269 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,520 things uh things you don't always get the opportunity to look behind the 270 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:07,360 curtain on. Um maybe turn it into like a six or seven week course something they 271 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:14,480 would do kind of once a week some homework after hours. Um just uh Sean 272 00:23:11,679 --> 00:23:19,600 has had really good reports from success over TCP on that. So I'm I'm going to go 273 00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:25,200 ahead and emulate that where I can. Um I'm also going to be starting um 274 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:31,120 effectively a supervisor academy. Um I want to have uh all the supervisors 275 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:34,720 really strong team uh supporting each other and all on the same page. So, as 276 00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:39,600 we do this process, there's likely to be several policies that get revisited and 277 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:44,400 and uh kind of codified and a little bit more specified. So, um that's going to 278 00:23:42,159 --> 00:23:48,480 be kind of the brunt of my focus aside from the project right now is kind of 279 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:55,520 getting uh getting some of the more soft targets kind of uh identified and 280 00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:59,520 planned for those. Um again, so I went to uh CTA, 281 00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:04,159 people were excited. Went to Good Morning Truckucky. Several uh 282 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:09,280 stakeholders there had no idea who we were, what we do, why we're here. Uh it 283 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,720 was really good because I got Universal. I mean, they were excited about the 284 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:18,159 project, but they seemed to be very excited just to learn about what we do. 285 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:25,679 And um that was very very uh encouraging. uh both CCPUD and OBPSD I 286 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:30,880 got way more questions than I was expecting which was awesome. Uh it was a 287 00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:35,760 lot of engagement a lot of highle thinking I I really appreciate that the 288 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,120 other boards are engaging in this and getting involved and thinking about it 289 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:44,159 and understanding some of the decisions we're making and uh it just it's a great 290 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:49,520 collaboration and it feels more like a partnership. Um again, Liz mentioned uh 291 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:54,400 quarterly safety committee meeting. We are uh we're going going to have a 292 00:24:51,840 --> 00:25:00,640 really heavy focus on the safety uh meeting and the committee and the 293 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:05,919 emergency response crew because we had a a very hazardous chemical here that we 294 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:10,880 got rid of a few years ago and we had a really serious response team ready to go 295 00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:15,200 in the event that that chemical were released. Well, that's no longer needed. 296 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:19,520 So, what do we need? So, we're we're trying to identify what the agency needs 297 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:23,360 and trying to identify what kinds of targets we want to maintain and how we 298 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:29,120 want to continue to keep people focused on safety and turn it into a little bit 299 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:34,240 more holistic program. Um, so more to come on that. Um, and we have been doing 300 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:39,679 some surplus sales. I I if you ever go out in AWT, it has historically been a 301 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,039 little bit of a boneyard for us because it's not it's a defunct facility. you 302 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,039 know, leak parts of vehicles out there, but we also kind of store stuff that we 303 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:50,799 don't know what else to do with. Some of it's been sitting there long enough and 304 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:55,919 uh we were able to determine it didn't have any value to the agency. So, we uh 305 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:59,600 we've been auctioning o auctioning it off and we've been doing pretty well. Um 306 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,240 sounds like there's one guy in particular that's very interested in 307 00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:07,679 buying almost everything we have. So, that's cool. Makes it easier. Um but 308 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:11,919 that's going to continue to go on. Um so, I'm going to be continuing the 309 00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:17,039 visits. We um just got engaged with Tahoe Forest. They're doing um a 310 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:23,440 symposium maybe would be the best word for it over in uh Olympic Valley that is 311 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:28,960 focused uh I believe they're calling it uh beyond possible is the theme of the 312 00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:34,480 symposium and they would like us to create a project poster for the clean 313 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:38,320 water project and uh be available during lunchtime. They're going to have like 314 00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:42,480 four or five major regional projects represented. One of ours, one of them is 315 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:46,720 going to be ours and we'll be there to answer any questions and um so I'll be 316 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:51,200 attending that and it's good opportunity for networking. Anyway, um CSDA annual 317 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:58,080 conference, Liz and I are both going down um we've got an extensive list of 318 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,919 sessions that we're trying to split up and very very beneficial uh sessions. a 319 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:06,640 lot of them relating to some of the legislative stuff that's kind of always 320 00:27:04,159 --> 00:27:11,600 a little bit of a of a puzzle to try and figure out. So hopefully u make some 321 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:15,520 good contacts as well. Um you know we're we're always interested in any way we 322 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:20,000 can get better plugged into legislative affairs or any of those kinds of 323 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:24,960 statewide federal type things. Uh keep our ears a little bit better to the 324 00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:28,720 railroad track funding as well. Um, and we are going to be hosting the quarterly 325 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:34,159 area boards clerk lunch budget. So, everyone's representative of the boards 326 00:27:30,159 --> 00:27:38,720 clerk will be at TTSA having uh lunch. And I believe 327 00:27:36,159 --> 00:27:41,520 that's that. Do you have any questions? >> I got a comment, Jason, 328 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:48,320 » sir. >> That presentation you gave um at the 329 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:55,279 Olympic Valley Public Service Disc was awesome. Got a lot of positive feedback 330 00:27:51,279 --> 00:28:02,159 from it.
