[0:05] All right, look at that. We're at 9 o'
[0:08] ready. Okay, blast off.
[0:12] I'd like to call the regular morning
[0:14] meeting of the Tahoe Trucking Sanitation
[0:15] Agency board of directors to order here
[0:18] at 9:00 a.m. for our August board
[0:21] meeting.
[0:22] All right, I'll skip the signing
[0:26] pledge of allegiance.
[0:31] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
[0:33] United States of America and to the
[0:36] republic for which it stands. One nation
[0:39] under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[0:42] justice and for all
[0:46] the roll call, please.
[0:52] » Yes.
[1:01] I spoke with you. Glad you finished.
[1:03] » Oh, well,
[1:05] » Any public comment.
[1:10] Wow. Okay.
[1:13] Why don't we review and adopt the
[1:14] agenda?
[1:16] Have we done adjust or remove anything
[1:19] from the agenda this morning? We appro
[1:21] the agenda.
[1:22] » Second. All in favor? I I I motion
[1:26] passes. All right. Do I have to roll
[1:28] call back?
[1:29] » No.
[1:30] » Okay, I'm gonna turn it over to Vicki
[1:32] who's got some professional achievement
[1:35] awards for us.
[1:41] » Thank you. Good morning, Vice President
[1:44] Clement and directors. Um,
[1:47] I would like to acknowledge this morning
[1:50] Ryan Schulz for his 10y year
[1:52] anniversary. And you don't see Ryan in
[1:55] the audience here because um, he is on
[1:59] his way to Sacramento right now to look
[2:01] at motor control centers. Um, but he did
[2:06] I did speak with him this morning and he
[2:08] did express his gratitude for receiving
[2:11] his 10year anniversary. So anyway,
[2:14] congratulations to Ryan for his 10 year
[2:17] anniversary.
[2:18] » I think we should express our gratitude.
[2:24] » All right.
[2:25] » Thank you.
[2:30] Send calendar. What I'm told is next.
[2:34] Anybody want to pull anything from the
[2:36] consent calendar?
[2:38] The consent calendar. Second
[2:42] favor. I
[2:45] » Pass.
[2:53] Okay. Why don't we move over to the
[2:55] regular agenda? Have to talk about
[2:58] employee benefits.
[3:00] Back to Vicki.
[3:05] » Good morning, June. Directors.
[3:07] I just intended to provide sort of a
[3:11] quick overview of what I'm noticing for
[3:13] today. Um, if you do have additional
[3:16] questions, I can do the deeper dive. But
[3:18] TTSA contracts with Cal PERS for our
[3:21] medical benefits. Historically, prior to
[3:25] now, we've had PERS platinum and PERS
[3:27] gold available to us within our service
[3:30] district or our service zip code. Um,
[3:34] the gold plan costs less than the the
[3:37] platinum, but also offers fewer
[3:39] benefits. TTSA best save on premium
[3:42] costs when an employee enrolls in the
[3:44] gold plan.
[3:46] In addition to the medical plan, TTSA
[3:49] provides an HRA and the HRA um is
[3:53] equivalent to the deductible amount for
[3:57] the chosen medical plan as well as any
[4:00] cost sharing if the employee opts to
[4:03] enroll into a plan other than platinum.
[4:06] This year we'll be adding an HMO and an
[4:09] EGO. Those are now available in TTSA's
[4:13] service zip code. So, we need to make
[4:16] changes to our resolution
[4:19] um for employee benefits and that will
[4:22] be we will be adding the EPO and the HMO
[4:26] and we will also be making changes to
[4:28] the H contribution for those plans and
[4:32] we're also doing just a little bit of
[4:34] minor cleanup and language within the
[4:36] resolution
[4:38] um which is previous previous
[4:40] resolutions that are now kind of over
[4:43] the stuff
[4:45] Um the recommendation is that um the
[4:47] board approve um resolution 10-2026
[4:52] as well as a vivid A and I can answer
[4:56] any question that I
[4:58] » So is it fair to assume that the plans
[5:01] are cheaper than the platinum plan?
[5:05] » Yes, in in general. So, so
[5:10] » Well the HMO plan is going to be
[5:13] available to employees in Nevada. So,
[5:16] there'll be a Nevada network and the
[5:18] premium cost within Nevada for the HMO
[5:22] is very similar to the platinum plan. It
[5:26] is very slightly less, maybe $10 a month
[5:30] less. However, the HMO um rates within
[5:34] this um this region, region one, are
[5:37] much cheaper than the platinum plan.
[5:41] Thank you. Anyone else have any other
[5:44] questions?
[5:48] Yeah. Okay. Motion.
[5:50] » Move to approve.
[5:52] » Second. All in favor?
[5:55] » I She passes.
[5:57] » Thank you.
[5:59] » Okay. That was pretty straightforward.
[6:01] Why don't we go over to the departmental
[6:03] reports? Start with the operations.
[6:20] » Good morning, board of directors. Um,
[6:22] for you that don't know me, my name is
[6:23] Greg O'Hare. I'm the chief plant
[6:24] operator TPSA. And, uh, I'm just filling
[6:27] in for Michael today. He's on vacation.
[6:30] So,
[6:36] uh just happy to report all discharge
[6:38] requirements were met for the month. Um
[6:40] kind of there's a little more
[6:41] significance to that statement uh based
[6:43] on being July and the increased loadings
[6:46] to the plant which causes increased
[6:48] stress kind of throughout the climate.
[6:51] Uh there's kind of one significant thing
[6:54] to update you on for the that we
[6:56] performed this month and that was we did
[6:58] perform a plant shutdown. Uh and that
[7:00] was to assist in the eye department so
[7:03] they could deenergize some equipment u
[7:05] so they can get some pictures for uh our
[7:08] engineering consultants.
[7:10] Other than that that's kind of all I
[7:12] have. I don't know if you guys have any
[7:13] questions on any of the data um that's
[7:16] been submitted to you guys and our
[7:18] graphs associated with them.
[7:28] point data
[7:30] averages and other limits
[7:39] questions.
[7:41] Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
[7:53] Good morning, board of directors. So, we
[7:55] seem to be filming for one of the quick
[7:57] board meetings that I can recall. So,
[8:00] » Not so fast.
[8:04] » Slow down.
[8:07] Good.
[8:10] » We got a close session coming.
[8:12] » I'm just going to do my part here to get
[8:13] done.
[8:13] » Okay.
[8:17] All right. So for the month month of
[8:18] July, uh staff did provide support for
[8:21] um what you're used to seeing with
[8:23] digestion improvements, clean water
[8:24] revitalization project, which we are no
[8:26] longer calling in red. Um ITO domain
[8:30] controller split uh the network upgrade
[8:32] project and the SCA upgrade project
[8:36] which um has also uh gone live. So right
[8:40] now we're actively uh seeking a
[8:43] consultant right now. also working with
[8:44] engineering on that for sure that I get
[8:46] touched on later.
[8:48] Uh some of the significant task tasks
[8:50] that we performed um throughout the
[8:52] month is that we did complete complete
[8:54] the defensible space work at pond number
[8:57] three um and along road. We did get some
[9:00] questions from uh tsd about uh some of
[9:02] the work that was going on out at uh the
[9:04] pond. So it's pretty visible, but uh
[9:07] really did make a pretty big significant
[9:10] difference out there. We were really
[9:11] able to remove a lot of the brush out
[9:13] there. It's very noticeable from the
[9:14] highway. Um, we completed the annual
[9:17] TRRI visual inspection. We send somebody
[9:19] out each year to go walk along, check
[9:21] manholes, check for anything visible um
[9:24] that might have been damaged throughout
[9:25] the year and the snow and debris that uh
[9:28] falls along the TRF.
[9:30] Uh we did place a main fuel oil line um
[9:33] and some of the insulation. There's a
[9:34] picture later in the board report for
[9:36] that. Um we completed construction area
[9:39] of vegetation removal and clearing. I'm
[9:41] sure you noticed that coming into the
[9:42] plant on the lefth hand side. Um that's
[9:45] in preparation of digestion
[9:46] improvements. Uh we're going to continue
[9:48] doing some more uh expansion of that
[9:50] area to give, you know, the crews enough
[9:53] room to stage all of their equipment. Uh
[9:56] we replaced an oil single bearings uh on
[9:58] the BNR strainer. Um and we also did the
[10:02] plant shutdown for switch gear number 27
[10:05] for project investigation like Bar
[10:08] alluded to earlier. Um, we did some
[10:10] scaling of some uh ammonia probe or
[10:15] ammonia probe at BNR and installed a
[10:18] backup server enclosure the remote at a
[10:21] remote location. So, um, any questions
[10:25] about the notable tasks
[10:29] » Of the pictures?
[10:31] » All right. Yeah, we can jump right into
[10:33] those. U, not much to report. We did
[10:35] have a good month. Um we we knocked out
[10:37] quite a bit on uh our corrective uh work
[10:40] orders uh this month. So um we're able
[10:44] to make a good dent in that. So um but
[10:46] they do tend to stay pretty flat. There
[10:48] just seems to be a little bit of an
[10:49] uptick this time of year. Um some of the
[10:52] pictures of before and after for the
[10:54] construction yard clearing. It's
[10:56] actually uh before was on the right. Um
[11:00] and on the left you can see we cleared
[11:02] that out. got a lot got rid of a lot of
[11:05] that old vegetation, the old rocks. Um I
[11:08] think that's going to be a lot better
[11:09] for our our construction management.
[11:14] Uh on the left there, we've got fuel oil
[11:16] line replacement. Uh uh that presented
[11:20] some issues for us. Um but uh we were
[11:22] able to get it done and was a lot more
[11:24] complex than we thought it would be. So
[11:26] um on the right we've got the server
[11:29] enclosure um being installed. That's for
[11:32] one of our backup servers for all of our
[11:33] SCADA systems. So that stays online just
[11:36] in case we have a failure. Um should
[11:39] automatically transfer over working on
[11:41] it.
[11:43] And some pictures of our switch gear
[11:45] investigation for one of the bigger
[11:47] projects that's for clean water
[11:49] revitalization and our everybody's
[11:52] favorite suit on the right hand side, a
[11:53] 40 cal suit. Everybody loves wearing
[11:55] that thing when it's middle of summer.
[11:57] So,
[12:00] and that's all we have in pictures.
[12:02] » Hey, Paul.
[12:03] » Yes, sir.
[12:05] » Who's doing the landscaping out front?
[12:07] » Uh, that would be the operations team.
[12:09] » Okay.
[12:12] They're doing a good job.
[12:16] » They're doing a good job.
[12:18] » It's looking great.
[12:19] » Thank you.
[12:20] » Whoever's in charge there, Greg, tell
[12:21] them that uh thank you.
[12:23] » Yep. It's come a long ways in the last
[12:26] uh couple of months.
[12:27] » Very much agree. That's great. Well
[12:30] done.
[12:31] » Thank you.
[12:43] » Morning. I'm Kristen Davis, the lab
[12:45] director here for Scott. So, I will be
[12:48] giving the technical services report
[12:51] today.
[12:53] Um so starting with engineering the
[12:56] clean water revitalization project looks
[12:58] like the preliminary design report by
[13:00] Corollo should be done very soon.
[13:03] They'll get reviewed and then it'll be
[13:05] brought to the board for special study
[13:06] session that has been scheduled I
[13:08] believe in the next month or so.
[13:11] Um the digestion improvements project
[13:13] 60% design by Brown and Caldwell is done
[13:16] and in review so we're get that. the
[13:19] networks upgrade project 90% design by
[13:22] Jacobs is in review. Um, a lot of
[13:25] reviews going on right now. SCADA
[13:27] upgrade project, the uh request for
[13:30] quote has been issued. So, waiting on
[13:32] that. The TRRI rehab project. Um,
[13:36] they're doing a design service scoping
[13:38] and drafting the request for
[13:42] that is engineering.
[13:44] For lab, we continue to do the CDPH
[13:47] COVID sampling for Department of Health
[13:49] that they have a a grant that goes
[13:52] through 2027. So, we'll be continuing to
[13:54] do that and then once that ends, we will
[13:58] see if they get more funding for that or
[14:00] not. Uh the Tiger Baron soil sampling,
[14:04] we do that mainly in the summer months.
[14:06] That has been busy for us this year.
[14:08] Every month we've been getting a bunch
[14:09] of samples, but continuing to do that.
[14:12] Everything looks good so far. We are
[14:14] looking at a new VOD incubator and
[14:17] getting quotes. We've gotten all the
[14:18] quotes. We've picked out incubator. We
[14:20] should be ordering that in the next week
[14:21] or so. And our ion chromatography
[14:25] machine is very old, due for
[14:27] replacement. So, that one we're getting
[14:28] quotes for. There's very few of those
[14:30] machines out there. Um hopefully that
[14:33] will get replaced real soon, too.
[14:36] For it, they have completed the end of
[14:40] life Adobe software replacement.
[14:42] the continued testing of CIS computer
[14:45] security templates. Not really an IT
[14:47] person, so
[14:50] let them hear if you have questions.
[14:53] They're finalizing their policies for
[14:55] computer placements and the uh USB
[14:59] storage and file storage updates they're
[15:01] working on. And Lucas went to the Black
[15:04] Hat conference in Vegas,
[15:07] so he has a little mini presentation on
[15:09] that. Have any questions?
[15:12] Hey, I got a question in regards to the
[15:16] barium testing.
[15:18] Are they testing loads that are coming
[15:20] in from excavation projects or um are
[15:24] they how does they how do they test? So
[15:28] we do well we do the testing they the
[15:31] loads they bring in based on how many
[15:33] loads decides how many samples we grab
[15:35] and we do a random sampling and then
[15:38] those get sent out for burum and other
[15:40] metals and whatnot. Um if it comes back
[15:44] hot and they clear the pile we scrape it
[15:47] and then we do another sampling to make
[15:48] sure none is left over. Um if it comes
[15:51] back fine they can grade it into the
[15:52] ground
[15:53] » And that's every load that comes in.
[15:56] It's every random sampling.
[15:57] » It's random sampling. So it's every
[15:59] grouping. So once a month we take how
[16:01] many loads came in and calculate how
[16:04] many samples we do and do a random
[16:06] sampling between all of them.
[16:08] » Now when the load comes in, do you um um
[16:12] identify where that load comes from?
[16:15] » Mhm.
[16:15] » Okay.
[16:16] » Yeah.
[16:18] » Thank you.
[16:22] Morning
[16:26] board of directors Luc specialist. Um
[16:29] thank you for the opportunity for being
[16:31] able to go to the blackout conference in
[16:33] uh Las Vegas over um course of the 3rd
[16:36] through 6th of beginning of this month.
[16:39] Um
[16:41] see if I can get to
[16:44] um so uh at the um Black Hat uh
[16:47] conference it was a combination uh
[16:49] started with Black Hat uh ended with
[16:52] Defcon. Um what the what each of these
[16:55] uh conferences were um uh providing was
[16:59] uh valuable insight to uh ways that uh
[17:03] hackers are interjecting themselves into
[17:06] systems right now using aentic AIS uh to
[17:09] uh crack open back doors uh and be able
[17:13] to control things uh within our own
[17:15] network. So, getting a lot of the uh
[17:18] insight uh and and focusing on these
[17:21] training sessions that I was able to go
[17:22] into, uh really got to uh we really got
[17:26] to dive down into the weeds on exactly
[17:28] how they're doing these things so that
[17:29] we can be uh more in the know uh when it
[17:33] comes to defending ourselves against
[17:34] these things and uh uh the key pieces of
[17:38] uh equipment that we deploy here at TTSA
[17:40] that keeps us uh uh on the defense for
[17:43] it. So, um, uh, again, it was a great,
[17:46] uh, great conference. Learned, uh, a ton
[17:49] at this. The, uh, bunch of bunch of
[17:52] hackers, uh, much more high level than
[17:54] me being around them, getting to, uh,
[17:57] network with them and everything was
[17:58] just phenomenal. Um, but a couple of
[18:01] pictures for you guys from the
[18:02] conference um,
[18:04] here. And uh one of the uh one of the
[18:07] other things that uh was fun about the
[18:09] entire conference was the aftermath of
[18:11] it was uh uh people were learning such
[18:14] good things there that uh one of the
[18:16] Delta flights coming home to uh uh
[18:18] Georgia. Uh one of the folks from Black
[18:20] Hat decided to hack the Wi-Fi
[18:23] uh deploy a uh evil twin network and
[18:26] started trying to steal people's uh uh
[18:29] information. So again, we learned a lot
[18:31] about this stuff so that we can better
[18:33] defend against it. So, uh, a lot of fun
[18:35] and appreciate the opportunity.
[18:46] Morning,
[18:48] Liz Cook, your fearless finance leader.
[18:50] The first time I've approached the board
[18:52] in the meeting. I don't think that's
[18:53] ever happened before. I thank you for
[18:55] that opportunity to only have this
[18:56] report. I appreciate that. So, we're
[18:59] here to talk about what the
[19:00] administrative team has been doing for
[19:01] the last month. On the risk and safety
[19:03] side, uh, just this week, we held our
[19:05] quarterly safety committee meeting. It
[19:07] might have been last week, the days run
[19:08] together for me. Um, there's also
[19:10] working on updating the chemical
[19:12] business plan for Nevada County so that
[19:13] folks know about chemicals we have here
[19:15] and how to respond to them. As well as
[19:17] doing an overall audit of our individual
[19:19] training assignments, making sure that
[19:21] everyone has access to the training that
[19:23] they need to take. On the finance side,
[19:26] same time of year, same story. We're
[19:28] still wrapping up year end and preparing
[19:29] for our audit that will end very soon. I
[19:31] have a few more reports uh to bring
[19:33] forward to the board next month and we
[19:34] can put that to rest. We've also taken
[19:37] some trainings. I attended a CIP 2-day
[19:40] course that a finance officers
[19:42] association put on so we can learn a
[19:44] little bit more about developing the
[19:45] structure of our CIP and I can also
[19:47] include some more funding information.
[19:49] Um, accounting for bonds and accounting
[19:51] for debt funded capital assets are
[19:53] something our accounting supervisor
[19:55] participated in so that we can up our
[19:56] game for that because as you know we
[19:58] keep making decisions here at the board
[20:00] level that cause us to have to account
[20:02] for things like that.
[20:04] On the billing and customer service side
[20:06] status quo, we got all of the billing on
[20:08] the tax role. The delinquencies were
[20:10] completed last month. And something new,
[20:13] you may have noticed that there was
[20:15] something missing from your board packet
[20:17] or maybe you didn't. There's normally
[20:19] billing reports included each month.
[20:21] We'll now be bringing those to the full
[20:23] board semianually and making a more
[20:26] robust report out of it.
[20:29] On the other items, purchasing handle
[20:31] all of the POS and requisitions and
[20:32] general responsibilities as normal and
[20:35] performed various administrative duties
[20:36] at the pleasure of the board and the
[20:38] general manager. Happy to answer any
[20:40] questions.
[20:42] » I'm disappointed I missed the two-day
[20:44] course on bond accounting. I mean to be
[20:46] fair it was only portions of the day not
[20:48] full 10our day.
[20:50] » Yeah there was a lot of information so
[20:55] thank you very much
[21:00] going up.
[21:02] » Good morning board. Um brief general
[21:05] manager report. Um lot going on. Tail of
[21:08] the tape is obviously the traveling road
[21:10] show. Um it was a great month. Went and
[21:13] uh spoke to several member agencies,
[21:16] several local stakeholder uh groups and
[21:20] got pretty universal appreciation for
[21:23] the project. So it sounds like people
[21:24] are kind of understanding. Uh it also
[21:26] sounds like I hear a lot of the same
[21:28] story. So there's a lot of
[21:30] infrastructure um that's that's in need
[21:32] of repair or replacement in California
[21:35] and it's tough to figure out a plan to
[21:37] make it happen. So, we're uh we are
[21:39] definitely in good company. Uh but we've
[21:41] been doing usual things with the
[21:44] projects, meetings with Corollo. Uh you
[21:46] know, Scott's out at the moment, so I'm
[21:48] kind of the point person for the project
[21:49] decisions. And uh you know, right now we
[21:52] just uh initiated testing some tankage
[21:55] out here because we plan on reusing some
[21:57] of the facility for the new facility.
[21:59] So, just usual stuff going on. uh public
[22:02] outreach kind of calming down a little
[22:04] bit now as far as you know tent and
[22:06] flyer type outreach. Um I think we might
[22:09] have one more two more the big truck and
[22:13] » There's something on a Thursday night in
[22:14] Truckucky I
[22:15] » Block party.
[22:16] » Yes.
[22:17] » Yeah, the trucky block party. We're
[22:18] planning on attending that and um we've
[22:21] got Michael Peak that'll be attending.
[22:22] So if you want he he does a great
[22:24] presentation so if you want to go bother
[22:25] him that' be fantastic.
[22:27] uh strategic plan implementation is kind
[22:30] of now that we're definitely rolling. Um
[22:33] I've been focusing very heavily from my
[22:35] perspective on some of the more employee
[22:38] focused um targets. So going to be
[22:41] putting together um this deal from TCPOD
[22:44] and I'm going to create a a leadership
[22:46] academy voluntary um offer anyone in
[22:49] need that's interested in opportunity to
[22:51] come learn about leadership learn about
[22:53] qualities um maybe even learn some basic
[22:55] administrative higher level kind of
[22:57] things uh things you don't always get
[22:59] the opportunity to look behind the
[23:00] curtain on. Um maybe turn it into like a
[23:03] six or seven week course something they
[23:05] would do kind of once a week some
[23:07] homework after hours. Um just uh Sean
[23:11] has had really good reports from success
[23:14] over TCP on that. So I'm I'm going to go
[23:17] ahead and emulate that where I can. Um
[23:19] I'm also going to be starting um
[23:22] effectively a supervisor academy. Um I
[23:25] want to have uh all the supervisors
[23:28] really strong team uh supporting each
[23:31] other and all on the same page. So, as
[23:33] we do this process, there's likely to be
[23:34] several policies that get revisited and
[23:36] and uh kind of codified and a little bit
[23:39] more specified. So, um that's going to
[23:42] be kind of the brunt of my focus aside
[23:44] from the project right now is kind of
[23:45] getting uh getting some of the more soft
[23:48] targets kind of uh identified and
[23:51] planned for those. Um again, so I went
[23:55] to uh CTA,
[23:58] people were excited. Went to Good
[23:59] Morning Truckucky. Several uh
[24:01] stakeholders there had no idea who we
[24:04] were, what we do, why we're here. Uh it
[24:06] was really good because I got Universal.
[24:09] I mean, they were excited about the
[24:10] project, but they seemed to be very
[24:12] excited just to learn about what we do.
[24:15] And um that was very very uh
[24:18] encouraging. uh both CCPUD and OBPSD I
[24:22] got way more questions than I was
[24:25] expecting which was awesome. Uh it was a
[24:28] lot of engagement a lot of highle
[24:30] thinking I I really appreciate that the
[24:33] other boards are engaging in this and
[24:35] getting involved and thinking about it
[24:37] and understanding some of the decisions
[24:39] we're making and uh it just it's a great
[24:42] collaboration and it feels more like a
[24:44] partnership. Um again, Liz mentioned uh
[24:47] quarterly safety committee meeting. We
[24:49] are uh we're going going to have a
[24:51] really heavy focus on the safety uh
[24:54] meeting and the committee and the
[24:57] emergency response crew because we had a
[25:00] a very hazardous chemical here that we
[25:02] got rid of a few years ago and we had a
[25:05] really serious response team ready to go
[25:08] in the event that that chemical were
[25:10] released. Well, that's no longer needed.
[25:13] So, what do we need? So, we're we're
[25:15] trying to identify what the agency needs
[25:17] and trying to identify what kinds of
[25:19] targets we want to maintain and how we
[25:21] want to continue to keep people focused
[25:23] on safety and turn it into a little bit
[25:26] more holistic program. Um, so more to
[25:29] come on that. Um, and we have been doing
[25:31] some surplus sales. I I if you ever go
[25:34] out in AWT, it has historically been a
[25:37] little bit of a boneyard for us because
[25:39] it's not it's a defunct facility. you
[25:41] know, leak parts of vehicles out there,
[25:43] but we also kind of store stuff that we
[25:45] don't know what else to do with. Some of
[25:47] it's been sitting there long enough and
[25:49] uh we were able to determine it didn't
[25:50] have any value to the agency. So, we uh
[25:53] we've been auctioning o auctioning it
[25:55] off and we've been doing pretty well. Um
[25:58] sounds like there's one guy in
[25:59] particular that's very interested in
[26:00] buying almost everything we have. So,
[26:02] that's cool. Makes it easier. Um but
[26:05] that's going to continue to go on. Um
[26:07] so, I'm going to be continuing the
[26:09] visits. We um just got engaged with
[26:11] Tahoe Forest. They're doing um a
[26:14] symposium maybe would be the best word
[26:17] for it over in uh Olympic Valley that is
[26:21] focused uh I believe they're calling it
[26:23] uh beyond possible is the theme of the
[26:26] symposium and they would like us to
[26:28] create a project poster for the clean
[26:31] water project and uh be available during
[26:34] lunchtime. They're going to have like
[26:36] four or five major regional projects
[26:38] represented. One of ours, one of them is
[26:40] going to be ours and we'll be there to
[26:42] answer any questions and um so I'll be
[26:44] attending that and it's good opportunity
[26:46] for networking. Anyway, um CSDA annual
[26:49] conference, Liz and I are both going
[26:51] down um we've got an extensive list of
[26:56] sessions that we're trying to split up
[26:58] and very very beneficial uh sessions. a
[27:00] lot of them relating to some of the
[27:01] legislative stuff that's kind of always
[27:04] a little bit of a of a puzzle to try and
[27:06] figure out. So hopefully u make some
[27:08] good contacts as well. Um you know we're
[27:11] we're always interested in any way we
[27:13] can get better plugged into legislative
[27:15] affairs or any of those kinds of
[27:17] statewide federal type things. Uh keep
[27:20] our ears a little bit better to the
[27:21] railroad track funding as well. Um, and
[27:24] we are going to be hosting the quarterly
[27:27] area boards clerk lunch budget. So,
[27:28] everyone's representative of the boards
[27:30] clerk will be at TTSA having uh lunch.
[27:34] And I believe
[27:36] that's that. Do you have any questions?
[27:38] » I got a comment, Jason,
[27:40] » Sir.
[27:41] » That presentation you gave um at the
[27:45] Olympic Valley Public Service Disc was
[27:48] awesome. Got a lot of positive feedback
[27:51] from it. And as we journey further into
[27:55] our deals with Curillo and uh the plant
[27:59] rehab, and I don't want to pack your
[28:02] schedule, but it would be really nice to
[28:06] have a follow-up presentation from the
[28:08] agency um at at Olympic Valley um with
[28:14] the progress that we're making because
[28:17] um it that uh that PowerPoint
[28:20] presentation was very helpful. good
[28:23] » And uh it was very much appreciated and
[28:27] um it'd be nice to be able to sit back
[28:29] and
[28:31] maybe in a few months or
[28:33] » Yeah uh to have a followup so that um uh
[28:38] our board can sit back and understand
[28:40] where we're headed as an agency.
[28:42] » Yeah, that is not a problem. Charlie and
[28:44] I are are keeping it in pretty constant
[28:46] communication on that. So yeah,
[28:48] » Um we'll let you know probably like a
[28:50] 60% milestone kind of a thing might make
[28:52] sense
[28:54] or at least after we have our study
[28:57] session.
[28:58] » Yeah.
[28:59] » It was very helpful. I just want to
[29:01] thank you.
[29:02] » Good. That's appreciate that.
[29:07] » Questions for Jason? Nope.
[29:10] Thank you.
[29:12] All right. I'm going to move us into
[29:15] close session here at 9:29.
