And with the 419 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,080 tower upgrade, which should be shared 420 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,080 with the county plus new um radio 421 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,520 frequency, the new radio that's been 422 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,120 selling the truck, we look at about 423 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:28,720 $400,000 424 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,280 for that total cost for the year. We are 425 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,520 actively evaluating an alternative 426 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,000 option which would be tied in through 427 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,640 the Verizon network through a pushto 428 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,320 talk radio methodology. There's a lot of 429 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,080 um government um 430 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,320 cost reductions as part of that and so 431 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,559 the quote and David's been actually 432 00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:53,039 working on this uh we looks like we 433 00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:54,799 we're likely to move forward with that. 434 00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:57,360 Right now we have sort of pilot. Uh but 435 00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,720 the capital cost to get the the mounts 436 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,200 for these radios is only about 25 to 437 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,000 $30,000 total. 438 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,840 And that would be the only capital cost 439 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,400 we would incur. And the ongoing cost is 440 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,159 no more than $2,500 per month. 441 00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:16,880 >> And so looking at a break even is over a 442 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,880 decade. If we were to get push to talk 443 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,679 radios as opposed to supporting these 444 00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:24,159 radio tower capital upgrades and all the 445 00:21:24,159 --> 00:21:26,080 brand new radios met to purchase and 446 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,039 install, we'll likely add the PGIs as a 447 00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:31,840 onetime cost savings. But looking at all 448 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,480 avenues to to reduce and avoid those 449 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,360 costs and appears it'll be just as 450 00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:42,159 reliable and will satisfy our needs as a 451 00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:45,200 second responder, not a first responder. 452 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,520 and soon. So that's another update wants 453 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,360 to provide as well. We'll provide more 454 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:51,919 as we kind of get that more of a final 455 00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:53,520 plan and move that forward. So hopefully 456 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,919 avoiding those extra capital costs that 457 00:21:55,919 --> 00:21:58,880 were not originally planned or budgeted. 458 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,200 The final item that I'll get to before I 459 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,799 future 460 00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:05,679 on that this was a countywide. We had to 461 00:22:05,679 --> 00:22:08,320 upgrade, right? Correct. And and Warford 462 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,039 can decide not to join that. So I 463 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:12,400 understand yes we've looked at we don't 464 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,280 have any ongoing lease or agreements as 465 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,919 part of this tower. Uh so we can and 466 00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:19,600 I've already talked with the county to a 467 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,080 degree. So the land uses this. Public 468 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,480 works uses this. Parks and rec county 469 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,440 uses this. By us backing out it will 470 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,919 increase the cost to other users of the 471 00:22:29,919 --> 00:22:31,919 system. We haven't officially backed out 472 00:22:31,919 --> 00:22:34,720 yet. But again, uh really the emphasis 473 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,880 on saving costs and and meeting our 474 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,559 needs 475 00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:41,200 something prioritize and evaluate 476 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,000 further 477 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,080 >> substantial. 478 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,600 I'm surprised that there other entities 479 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,000 wouldn't be doing the same. 480 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,159 they're all doing the same research that 481 00:22:50,159 --> 00:22:52,799 you're guys doing because 482 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:54,640 >> so more to come on that but that's 483 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,360 another big uh also avoidance I would 484 00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:01,919 say that we're looking at part of the 485 00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:04,559 uh the final item for the PGIs we also 486 00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:07,039 actually have been invited 487 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:11,840 to submit a proposal for Draper city 488 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,320 we recently learned that Draper city is 489 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,720 evaluating 490 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,960 disbanding their in-house collection uh 491 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,280 and funding program for waste and 492 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,080 recycling. Uh they're planning to issue 493 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,559 an RFP. We don't know what those 494 00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:32,000 services or what that scope entails. 495 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,520 But I also want to be very sensitive 496 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,760 that we're not actively 497 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,640 um 498 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,320 entering into competition with with 499 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,280 other so currently they're they're 500 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,880 providing the service as a public 501 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,679 service. And so we're looking at how 502 00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:50,320 would we best issue a proposal and maybe 503 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,559 we 504 00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:54,320 the opportunity to join the district 505 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,360 service area in submitting a competitive 506 00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:00,080 proposal but wanted to update this this 507 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,080 body and see if there's any feedback or 508 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,440 thoughts. We still haven't seen them 509 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,159 post the RFP, but I do see as an 510 00:24:06,159 --> 00:24:08,559 opportunity for us to potentially expand 511 00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:12,159 our service area and um offset some of 512 00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:15,039 the um 513 00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:17,520 losses that we're likely to incur from 514 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,840 airman's active pursuit to the throw out 515 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,080 the organization, but also to maximize 516 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,640 the counties of scale and 517 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,000 bring on um some additional services for 518 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,760 any feedback or thoughts on that 519 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,080 approach, Again, we haven't seen RFP. We 520 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,600 don't know if it's targeting private 521 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,480 sector, but um a city manager we did 522 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,600 reach out and invited us to see. 523 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,159 >> I say continue on. 524 00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:45,279 >> Sure. 525 00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:46,400 >> I think each of those. 526 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,039 >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, um and it makes 527 00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:51,520 sense. I I mean, I would imagine that 528 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,039 the process would be different because 529 00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:55,360 we aren't we aren't submitting like a 530 00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,799 contract proposal. It would be more an 531 00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:00,240 invitation to join the district. So, so 532 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,080 I was between you and Rachel figure out 533 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,840 the best copy to do that. But yeah, I 534 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,159 think that's fantastic. I'm good to 535 00:25:06,159 --> 00:25:13,830 pursue. 536 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,320 » Well, I'll keep everyone informed as as 537 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,799 that would actually 538 00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:24,400 likely go this way. So, on on the PGIs, a lot of these are 539 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,159 status updates. Some are not necessarily 540 00:25:26,159 --> 00:25:30,159 tied to quantitative cost savings. Um 541 00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:31,840 but we have you know continuing to move 542 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,120 forward on a lot of pieces. Uh one is is 543 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,480 the first one is the OG-2 organizational 544 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,200 initiative is looking at our charter 545 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,520 serviceability. So we are planning to 546 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,600 look at that and pursue that as we 547 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,360 discussed during January retreat. So 548 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:50,559 nothing major there on that front. uh 549 00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:54,159 admin 1.1 we have um through Renee and 550 00:25:54,159 --> 00:25:56,960 Hazel they've developed a first draft 551 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,720 employee handbook that will ultimately 552 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,440 consolidate over two dozen individual 553 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,640 SOP teams for streamlining our internal 554 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,720 uh processes and and make it easier for 555 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,200 staff myself or management team to 556 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,480 interpret and ultimately have a more 557 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,640 comprehensive central document that'll 558 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,960 be easier to maintain and update moving 559 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,799 forward. 560 00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:22,080 Few other items on here 561 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,240 1.5. 562 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,880 Uh we have continued to really increase 563 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,400 our presentation and the way which we're 564 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,440 visualizing our data. Um we've got other 565 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,360 priorities that have kind of included 566 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,360 some of those initiative. But I think 567 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:38,960 the board is probably continually seen 568 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,520 some of the presentation materials are 569 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,320 um looking improved and enhancing that 570 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,480 capacity. We have a few items here. 571 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,840 We'll go through as well. Um, admin 2, 572 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,320 uh, we are actually looking at, um, we 573 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,600 we've cancelled that, um, withdrawal 574 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,840 impact feasibility study, but we have 575 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,240 actually moved forward with a financial 576 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,679 impacts analysis that we should have an 577 00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:06,320 initial draft here by the end of this 578 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,559 month that appropriate final report by 579 00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:11,200 mid June. We may look at some adding 580 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,720 some items to that, but that's something 581 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,320 that we wanted to look at from 582 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,919 independent food recovery analysis and 583 00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:18,400 really helps better understand um the 584 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,480 potential or 585 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,200 identified impacts as part of the 586 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,320 ongoing discussions. Um Helen and I will 587 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,720 be working on a variet 588 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,720 and I will work on recycling processing 589 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,120 RFP. Hoping to get that out mid July 590 00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:34,960 that's admin 591 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,640 three. 592 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,080 I'm going to skip through a couple. We 593 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,600 don't spend too much time on this. 594 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,799 Uh, admin 7 is is us looking at 595 00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:47,279 comprehensively our uh, information 596 00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:49,679 technology invoices and some of the 597 00:27:49,679 --> 00:27:52,320 categories which we're getting build. U, 598 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,960 we've hidden a couple columns here, but 599 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,760 our January invoice was nearly $20,000. 600 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,360 Our April invoice was less than $18,000. 601 00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:04,240 So, we're still identifying new cost 602 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,960 savings initiatives. Thus far, for this 603 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,600 year, we've identified nearly 22,000 in 604 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,559 savings. And for next year ongoing be 605 00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:14,799 about 26,000 and that's anticipated to 606 00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:17,840 continue to increase for us looking at 607 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,919 our IC related support from the county. 608 00:28:21,919 --> 00:28:24,480 Uh admin 9 is a brand new item that 609 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,799 we're looking at basically everything. 610 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:29,919 So um admin 9 there's more information 611 00:28:29,919 --> 00:28:34,000 some columns here on the screen. Um, 612 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,919 early on I noticed that nearly every one 613 00:28:35,919 --> 00:28:38,399 of them since had its own individual 614 00:28:38,399 --> 00:28:42,000 personal printer and so we took a really 615 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,120 hard look at those. Some of those 616 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,559 printers were color, some of those were 617 00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:46,799 black and white. The color printer 618 00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:49,200 buying new cartridges to replace those 619 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,720 was about $1,000 per printer. So, we've 620 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,120 actually consolidated and ultimately we 621 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,320 have taken out of service five of those 622 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,159 color printers. 623 00:29:00,159 --> 00:29:01,200 We're still looking at a few of those, 624 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,120 but some of them we need for certain 625 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,880 functions within the organization and a 626 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,880 lot of them are either replaced with 627 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,880 black and white printers or we have a 628 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,279 main printer in our management printer 629 00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:13,600 and we're working utilization of that. 630 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,480 So small amount, but we've basically 631 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,640 estimated about $5,000 this year and 632 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,240 then ongoing for savings of that. So 633 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,440 let's see a few things so I can uh the 634 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,520 line of source financial assessment and 635 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,960 I'll be working on that hope to get that 636 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,799 RFP out July or August. uh and and what 637 00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:38,880 we're looking at it's likely that what 638 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,200 we budgeted for may not be enough. So, 639 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,960 we're going to need to evaluate that, 640 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,960 but we're tracking our financials in a 641 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:50,080 way that um I think it's it's readily um 642 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,360 I I could say that we're not going to 643 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,799 have to come back for amended budget 644 00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:54,880 this year and we would come back for 645 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,240 amended budget if we were going to 646 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,279 exceed the original expenses. So, we'll 647 00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:02,559 track that and and keep that um going as 648 00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:04,399 well. 649 00:30:04,399 --> 00:30:10,480 unless the I let more of these 650 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,919 um we're still looking at greenway 651 00:30:11,919 --> 00:30:14,000 subscriptions. Our scrap program will 652 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,320 probably provide a more detailed update 653 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,600 next month um or or shortly thereafter 654 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,880 but on scrap this year we have as of May 655 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,640 8th have averaged 79 containers surfaced 656 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,520 per day which compared to previous years 657 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,600 was average of about 60 containers a 658 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,960 day. We are well above 25% increased 659 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,720 service this year alone. Um 660 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,399 very good on this graphic. 661 00:30:40,399 --> 00:30:44,080 >> Are we seeing fewer complaints or any 662 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,679 more positive feedback from the 663 00:30:45,679 --> 00:30:48,399 residents for this at all? Do we know? 664 00:30:48,399 --> 00:30:49,760 >> It's a great question. I don't know 665 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,480 anything or you know we're playing the 666 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,200 central drop off event. We're doing 667 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,039 >> I would say it's it's mysteriously 668 00:30:57,039 --> 00:30:58,799 quieter 669 00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:01,840 than than historically been confused. So 670 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:02,880 I think that's a good thing. 671 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,240 >> It's a really good thing. 672 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,080 >> I think so. And I think I think with the new programs that we're offering, 673 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,080 right, the new the central drop off that 674 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,360 we're we're advertising for those cities 675 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,190 that 676 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,360 we are seeing some limited volatility in 677 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,039 our seasonal drivers. So I think we've 678 00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:25,200 kind of dropped a couple. We're adding 679 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,600 more on as we can. Um I think right now 680 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,360 we're sitting around 12 or 11. Um we 681 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,760 originally hired a full team as part of 682 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,000 that but the team is really helping out 683 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,559 Ca the Scout program working with Dave 684 00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:40,799 and many others. So it's done very well. 685 00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:42,399 We're not looking at um adding 686 00:31:42,399 --> 00:31:45,919 recruitments for backing some of those 687 00:31:45,919 --> 00:31:49,360 seasonal drivers that have 688 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,679 but overall currently going extremely 689 00:31:51,679 --> 00:31:56,630 well um as as a 690 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,399 let's see 691 00:31:58,399 --> 00:32:02,080 op five operations 692 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,039 uh we have actually started a second can 693 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:06,559 arm 694 00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:08,640 uh which we've done a limited degree in 695 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,360 the past right now um pretty good. So, 696 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,360 we kind of had to pause that. But 697 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,880 basically, we have some of our drivers 698 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,919 going around and looking for a second 699 00:32:17,919 --> 00:32:19,360 out and we come back and make sure that 700 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,200 they're are they are they getting 701 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000 drilled appropriately for um if we 702 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,440 identify that that they don't have a 703 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,799 second can of do a separate work order 704 00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:30,880 and our container team goes out a second 705 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,159 time and verifies that that second can. 706 00:32:34,159 --> 00:32:36,720 And so once that is completed, then we 707 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,320 actually uh add to the bill um and 708 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,840 correct the billing for those second 709 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,399 camps. We do find that some people say 710 00:32:44,399 --> 00:32:45,919 they're building second can or vice 711 00:32:45,919 --> 00:32:48,799 versa. But year to date uh what we've 712 00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:51,279 identified is an additional 36,000 in 713 00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:53,760 revenue as part of that initiative. Then 714 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,799 ongoing next year given people don't um 715 00:32:56,799 --> 00:32:58,880 remove their second cam will be an 716 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,880 additional 46,000 in revenue. So that 717 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,399 number should continue to grow 718 00:33:02,399 --> 00:33:04,000 throughout this calendar year as we get 719 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,549 back to the second cand. 720 00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:11,360 » Yeah, that's huge. Do you know 721 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,279 >> like what how we got to that place? That 722 00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:15,120 is that's 723 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,760 >> were they stealing cans from someone and 724 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,279 like I mean how are they getting these 725 00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,480 >> I know some suspicions of maybe 726 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,279 so we got a lot of people that move 727 00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:31,200 homes account changes 728 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,600 >> so in in the refunds that we we offer 729 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,360 and those are also checked by our car 730 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,960 team people call and say I don't I just 731 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,039 moved here but I don't have a second can 732 00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:40,960 so potentially the neighbors take that 733 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,279 can when someone moves out or the former 734 00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:45,039 homeowners take the can to their new 735 00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:46,799 residents, 736 00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:48,960 >> right? So the transition doesn't happen 737 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,679 and so cracking every one of them for 738 00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:54,399 all of those would take a lot of time. 739 00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:56,720 Uh but I always ask him like when this 740 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,000 refund they never have a can where it go 741 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,600 >> so it goes somewhere else somewhere 742 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,320 somehow. 743 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,120 >> Can you ship them? 744 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,519 >> Right chips but our drugs don't have the 745 00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:09,440 arms of the readers. That is a 746 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,800 technology we could look at in the 747 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,119 future as well. And our drivers, you 748 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:15,119 know, have them collecting a thousand 749 00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:18,879 cans a day to value every one of those 750 00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:21,359 on the ground. So, 751 00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:23,919 >> okay. So, how many total cans did you 752 00:34:23,919 --> 00:34:26,000 find so far 753 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,520 >> that we're not billing for? 754 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,240 >> Well, we've added billing. So, 192 trash 755 00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:31,839 cans, second cans. 756 00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:32,800 >> Yeah. 757 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,359 >> Um 29 recycle cans and water. 758 00:34:37,359 --> 00:34:39,440 And so that's you know equating to a 759 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,359 difference in monthly billing but the 760 00:34:41,359 --> 00:34:43,040 chart was very hard to see on the the 761 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,879 far right hand side where we calculated 762 00:34:44,879 --> 00:34:46,720 the the additional revenue we'll see 763 00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:48,720 this year and then ongoing revenue for 764 00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,200 202 765 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,750 so we'll continue to do 766 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,240 probably a lot more out there but sneaky 767 00:34:58,240 --> 00:34:59,920 >> yeah 768 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:01,760 just 769 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,839 >> so that's a good one as well and then 770 00:35:03,839 --> 00:35:06,640 final you just go to the the bottom line 771 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,800 rene the bottom. So when I first 772 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,560 introduced this and there's a lot of 773 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,760 times we we had savings up front but the 774 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,839 first published amounts where we showed 775 00:35:17,839 --> 00:35:21,760 quantitative savings on March 18 and 776 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,160 originally was about 500,000 one time in 777 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,280 2026. So we increased that to about uh 778 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,599 close to 660,000 this year. So we 779 00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:32,480 increased it by about 159,000. 780 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,040 ongoing for this year. That's identified 781 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,480 is again about 445,000. We've increased 782 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,119 that by roughly 250,000 783 00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:43,520 since the initial PGIs were published in 784 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,720 March of early this year. And then we 785 00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:50,160 discussed earlier the savings from 786 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,880 2025. We've carried over that 1.82 I 787 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,240 believe we've carried over a portion of 788 00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:58,079 that that was further described in this 789 00:35:58,079 --> 00:36:00,800 miscellaneous column. But 1.24 24 is 790 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,359 continuing ongoing savings. That's part 791 00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:05,920 of that. So, so the upper area is what 792 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,560 we've identified this year. The bottom 793 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,160 area is what we've identified this year 794 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,640 plus the ongoing savings that we've 795 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,920 continued to realize from last year. 796 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,359 Those were riffs, relication positions, 797 00:36:19,359 --> 00:36:21,599 optimizing routing, pricing proximity 798 00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:25,920 models. And so this year our total one 799 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,079 time for this year's cost savings we're 800 00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:31,280 almost at 1.9 million and then the 801 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,440 ongoing of those as we identify in these 802 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,640 columns we're close to uh 1.7 but we're 803 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,200 at 1.685. So we'll continue to update 804 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:44,000 these bring these back track these and further out with this cost savings. 805 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,200 We've not added in uh the video review 806 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,359 of reported miss pickup. So those will 807 00:36:49,359 --> 00:36:51,440 be things we'll look at uh I think at 808 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,480 the end of June of the year as well. So 809 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,400 this will continue to evolve and we'll 810 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,280 continue to add and and documenting the 811 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,760 where we can quantify the cost savings 812 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,920 or throughout the year. 813 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:04,640 >> Fantastic. 814 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,240 >> Yeah. Impressive 815 00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:11,200 job well done. Yeah, it's largely a huge 816 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,760 team out there and everyone is really 817 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,240 helping a variety of all of these. 818 00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:24,150 >> That's all I have. Any questions? 819 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,359 » Yeah, really great. We're all everyone 820 00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:30,160 pass 821 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,520 really really great. 822 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,680 >> All right, Helen 823 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,960 report. So first quarter 2026 824 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,040 um first slide we have as usual is our 825 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,960 revenues. They look about what we would 826 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,560 expect for this time of year we are a 827 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,880 little bit low on these revenues at the 828 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,960 bottom there and that is that is late 829 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,160 fees and as Adam said we have way late 830 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,599 fees for the last few months and we'll 831 00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:55,680 continue for maybe another two months or 832 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,520 so. So that will remain just a little 833 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,359 bit low. Otherwise everything is what is 834 00:38:01,359 --> 00:38:05,040 expected. So 835 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,640 there you have questions about this 836 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,670 slide. 837 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,800 Okay. Uh the next slide is our personnel 838 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,359 expenses and 839 00:38:15,359 --> 00:38:17,520 um they look a little bit low but we 840 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,440 haven't started paying by 10 841 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,560 um yet scrap program when April June 842 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,880 come around 843 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,680 for that program. U miscellaneous 844 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,320 benefits includes employee awards and 845 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,800 tuition reimbursements. And we did have 846 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,640 the Apple award this year which was a 847 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,680 cash award for the first year. And so 848 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,839 that is paid out in February. And that's 849 00:38:41,839 --> 00:38:44,400 why you see that 58% there um for 850 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,480 miscellaneous benefits that has been 851 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,320 spent for the year of the budget. But 852 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,720 that's why that's this year. 853 00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:55,119 There any 854 00:38:55,119 --> 00:38:59,030 comments on this slide? 855 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,119 Okay, next we have our other operating 856 00:39:01,119 --> 00:39:03,119 expenses. 857 00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:05,680 I see we spent about 21% so far this 858 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,200 year. Um, as I go down this list, things 859 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:14,790 are looking pretty much as expected. 860 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,320 We have our bank fees that are at 32% 861 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,720 um for the first quarter and we foresee 862 00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:22,400 that continue to increase. established 863 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,640 budgeted and the anticipation that we 864 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,079 would charge that transaction fee that 865 00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:28,480 we've decided not to charge this year. 866 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,000 So that'll give everyone a good idea of 867 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,440 where that is going forward since 868 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,440 um but you will obviously see increase 869 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,359 higher than what we would have otherwise 870 00:39:39,359 --> 00:39:41,440 expected. 871 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,640 Let's see our professional services are 872 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,640 a little bit higher this year as well. 873 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,320 That's because we've had um you know a 874 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,160 little bit higher attorney fees and we 875 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,920 have engaged a lobbyist uh and so those 876 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,079 were anticipated 877 00:39:56,079 --> 00:39:57,280 this year that we can budget for 878 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,040 especially the lobbyist. So that's why 879 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,560 that's just a little bit higher than 880 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,640 like around 25% which is what I was 881 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,349 expecting. 882 00:40:07,359 --> 00:40:11,349 Other than that 883 00:40:11,359 --> 00:40:12,800 that's about all I was going to comment 884 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,670 on your questions on this slide. 885 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,359 Okay. 886 00:40:19,359 --> 00:40:22,079 Um moving on to the next slide. We have 887 00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:24,960 our capital purchases. This is the exact 888 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,480 same thing that you were able to see 889 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,359 when we had the retrieve. It's the same 890 00:40:29,359 --> 00:40:31,760 information. We have not had further 891 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,760 capital purchases since the retreat. 892 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,880 However, we do expect to get um some 893 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,440 trucks this this month. So, I think the 894 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,599 team will show managers capital 895 00:40:41,599 --> 00:40:43,359 purchases and we'll be able to put those 896 00:40:43,359 --> 00:40:46,950 in service 897 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,960 with this slide for this this particular 898 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,240 time. 899 00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:55,200 of those we have encumbered 900 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,240 a little close to $2 million that will 901 00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:00,640 paid out on those assets do come in a 902 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,800 lot of those trucks were ordered early 903 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,280 to middle of last year 904 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,920 and that's I point out to the next slide 905 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,240 that helps to explain some of the 906 00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:13,589 returns 907 00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:16,640 » okay and then the next slide is our cash 908 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,520 balances and you can see It's higher 909 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,680 than it's been for years with this 910 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,800 slide. Um, and I do want to remind you 911 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,520 as Evan just pointed out, we do have 912 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,119 encumbered money that hasn't been spent 913 00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:30,800 yet for capital purchases that was 914 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,280 anticipated. Have those come in as 915 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,280 expected. Obviously, that cash balance 916 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,280 will be lower. Um, and then also monthly 917 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,119 billing. Monthly billing is boosting our 918 00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:43,119 cash 919 00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:46,319 balances coming forward. Prior to this, 920 00:41:46,319 --> 00:41:47,920 in prior years, you would have seen a 921 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,680 lower balance because we would have just 922 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,839 filled in either March for the first 923 00:41:51,839 --> 00:41:54,160 quarter and that cash started coming 924 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,079 yet, but we've gotten cash for the 925 00:41:56,079 --> 00:42:00,240 January and February and seeing so 926 00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:05,040 that's why we're seeing this. So when we pay for those trucks at the end 927 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:19,030 of the month that will drop down 928 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,720 » that boost our interest revenue which is 929 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:21,680 also 930 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,359 >> yes that and the next slide is our 931 00:42:25,359 --> 00:42:28,400 refundies. Um I changed it a little bit. 932 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,319 And again, just a little boring Excel 933 00:42:32,319 --> 00:42:36,079 table in here. Um, but we had $19,000 of 934 00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:39,599 refunds for the first quarter of 2026. 935 00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:42,960 Um, 19 customers overpaid, resulting in 936 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,480 $4,394 937 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,040 of refunds. We did have five people pay 938 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,040 closed accounts. 939 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,000 We had three contact us and say they 940 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,760 additional plan that they did not have. 941 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,520 We already discussed that we need that 942 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,560 to happen. Um, we did have 10 customers 943 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,119 who were paying legitimately and started 944 00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:04,240 them late. 945 00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:08,640 And so we refund them. 946 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,640 >> Um, we did have six people pay us an 947 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,720 error. They paid us to spend their 948 00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:15,520 utility for possibly their mortgage. 949 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,839 That's 950 00:43:17,839 --> 00:43:20,960 >> Yeah, that's $500. Looks like mortgages. 951 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,400 And then we have our home that was 952 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,560 demolished where we start looking for 953 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,079 state 954 00:43:26,079 --> 00:43:31,520 service at that time. So even though 955 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,720 our 19,000 do we understand why people 956 00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:40,160 are overpaid by such large amounts of 957 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,720 >> um you know honestly I think there are 958 00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:44,240 several reasons. I think sometimes it's 959 00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:46,400 a mistake. I think a lot of times people 960 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,920 do it on purpose. They're going to go on 961 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,400 vacation. They decide to pay in advance. 962 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,000 they don't have the data how much it's 963 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,640 actually going to be. Um we do have 964 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,800 people 965 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,599 I believe um who do it on purpose. I 966 00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:00,880 think there are some people who kind of 967 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,160 give it a little bit of a savings um 968 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,280 they don't pay a little bit later they 969 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,920 come back and ask us for 970 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,589 that happen. 971 00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:17,040 Yeah, administrator issue for us, but 972 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,319 we're in post. So, 973 00:44:20,319 --> 00:44:22,560 all right. Uh, next we have our 974 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,960 maintenance costs. 975 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,520 This one shows how much our cost for 976 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,280 maintenance 977 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,599 order. We did anticipate part of it. We 978 00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:34,160 had increases that we knew about from 979 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,880 county shop labor and I think everybody 980 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,240 knows that we use the county for our 981 00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:40,880 maintenance. Um and our shop labor 982 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,720 increased and as well as cost of parts 983 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:47,119 maintenance and 984 00:44:47,119 --> 00:44:50,640 um as noted here we had a quarterly week 985 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,520 meeting a working group that in an 986 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,200 endeavor to identify cost savings 987 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,359 measures and proactively identify areas 988 00:44:57,359 --> 00:44:59,680 for improvement. We had the first one 989 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,960 was early just 990 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,960 and in the past we've met and the week 991 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,280 increases we can expect in the budget 992 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,599 that we 993 00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:14,800 meeting with them and the details and 994 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,280 figure out 995 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,880 is that something you initiated? 996 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,960 >> Yes. 997 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,119 Correct. Yeah. 998 00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:27,280 I'm assuming that once we start seeing 999 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,560 cost savings from that that will be 1000 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,319 added to the GI 1001 00:45:30,319 --> 00:45:32,720 >> correct it is one of the categories are 1002 00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:34,960 going to be a little more difficult 1003 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,000 in some cases but there is more of a 1004 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,160 kind of a little discussion later on 1005 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,000 this meeting's agenda as well so this 1006 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,839 will be a good precursor to that 1007 00:45:45,839 --> 00:45:48,079 >> I appreciate strengthening that 1008 00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:52,069 relationship so we can 1009 00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:55,680 » okay Um, next slide is our fuel and 1010 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,280 mileage. And in 2026, we're paying a 1011 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:00,720 little bit more in fuel. You can see 1012 00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,640 that in 2025, 1013 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,119 we pay quite a bit less in fuel from 1014 00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:08,240 2024. It's creeping up again. Of course, 1015 00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:10,160 we all know there are things going on 1016 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,720 geogically. that are causing some 1017 00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:14,800 mistake. 1018 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,880 But on miles driven at the table at the 1019 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,040 very bottom where it says miles on the 1020 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,319 right hand side, um we're about in line 1021 00:46:24,319 --> 00:46:26,160 with what we've had in past years. In 1022 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,839 2025, we had driven 219,000 miles in 1023 00:46:29,839 --> 00:46:35,200 2026 so far, 223 almost 224,000 miles. 1024 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,040 Um, but we did purchase some diesel 1025 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,119 trucks instead of CNG. You can kind of 1026 00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:42,160 see a little bit about6 1027 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,240 on the usage of fuel because of that 1028 00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:47,599 purchase and we'll see that more of 1029 00:46:47,599 --> 00:46:49,839 course as we go on 1030 00:46:49,839 --> 00:46:52,880 some diesel trucks coming in this work. 1031 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,240 So are there questions, comments about 1032 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:56,720 this? 1033 00:46:56,720 --> 00:47:00,319 >> So why more diesel trucks instead of the 1034 00:47:00,319 --> 00:47:04,720 CNG? Um the capital costs 1035 00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:06,560 have become a lot different. We're 1036 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,359 seeing a Jeep trucks the cost increased 1037 00:47:09,359 --> 00:47:11,760 quite a bit and it was just 1038 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,680 significantly less for us to go and just 1039 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,880 the diesel trucks. And then we also had 1040 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,119 um information that the diesel fuel 1041 00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:21,920 prices might start decreasing. Of course 1042 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,680 that hasn't happened because as we 1043 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,359 discussed there are other things at play 1044 00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:27,839 here that's going to help but we 1045 00:47:27,839 --> 00:47:31,280 anticipated cost for those. and also a 1046 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,960 uh problem to resell value on CMG trucks 1047 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:39,680 as well as we have more expensive to buy 1048 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:40,079 things 1049 00:47:40,079 --> 00:47:42,319 >> and we can't get any money out of what 1050 00:47:42,319 --> 00:47:44,319 get minimal money. 1051 00:47:44,319 --> 00:47:45,200 >> Oh 1052 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:45,920 >> yeah. 1053 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:46,960 >> they're hard to sell. 1054 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,280 >> Nobody wants them. But 1055 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,960 >> I guess we need to start our own 1056 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,319 biodiesel factory. 1057 00:47:54,319 --> 00:47:54,560 We 1058 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,000 >> say something like that to Evan and 1059 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,750 we're mixing it up. 1060 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,119 That that is correct though the the 1061 00:48:01,119 --> 00:48:03,119 furnace price is is less but the resale 1062 00:48:03,119 --> 00:48:05,440 has been very challenging and you were 1063 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,079 in your earlier house on the options of 1064 00:48:08,079 --> 00:48:10,800 these trucks but in order to fuel CG to 1065 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,359 have an infrastructure and a lot of the 1066 00:48:13,359 --> 00:48:15,760 small teams or places that are trying to 1067 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,800 run this don't have it yet. So wow, we 1068 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,720 will be looking at this and you know we 1069 00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:22,319 actually attended a complete technology 1070 00:48:22,319 --> 00:48:25,599 conference earlier this month and 1071 00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:26,880 looking at things that I kind of 1072 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,480 mentioned before this total cost of 1073 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,480 ownership or TCO is kind of the 1074 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,599 abbreviated action of of discussing that 1075 00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:35,599 but looking at the cost of diesel 1076 00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:37,920 compared to just the cost of CNG over 1077 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,559 the the lifestyle of that truck. there 1078 00:48:40,559 --> 00:48:42,720 could be a break even point or that 1079 00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:46,000 makes it uh just file to continue to to 1080 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,119 purchase CG moving forward. So we'll be 1081 00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:50,640 looking at that this year and for next 1082 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,520 year as well and I think it still is 1083 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,800 ready nowify our fleets to a degree as 1084 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,559 well. Right now we'll be running about 1085 00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:01,680 four diesel trucks. We will have we're 1086 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,800 adding about 12 to that 1087 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,559 our scrap truck those are all diesel as 1088 00:49:06,559 --> 00:49:11,990 well. 1089 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,680 That's all I have for you today. 1090 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,680 >> Thank you so much, Helen, for you. 1091 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,440 >> All right. Uh Renee, um we have a 1092 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,520 presentation from Renee about uh 1093 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,720 University of Utah Recycling Survey. 1094 00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:29,359 >> Yes. So, um so this happened actually 1095 00:49:29,359 --> 00:49:32,319 back in October of last year. Um we we 1096 00:49:32,319 --> 00:49:34,000 did a partnership with University of 1097 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,040 Utah's Masters in Public Policy program 1098 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,920 and um they sent out the survey request 1099 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,720 to all of our residents via electronic 1100 00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:45,440 only. Um so it was email and pushed 1101 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,680 through our app and we had um 4523 1102 00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,400 that completed the survey. So about 1103 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,839 six%. It was actually double the 1104 00:49:55,839 --> 00:49:57,760 response there than it was in the prior 1105 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,760 year's um recycle survey. So that was pretty good. Um so I'm just 1106 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,520 going to go over a couple of the highle 1107 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,559 findings that they that they found. Um 1108 00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:09,520 so what they found from the uh survey 1109 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,240 was that 90% of our respondents said 1110 00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:15,119 recycling really is important to them. 1111 00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:17,760 Um and their confidence is high but 1112 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,520 there's still key misunderstandings 1113 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,839 which I think we we hear that you know 1114 00:50:21,839 --> 00:50:23,839 through when we go to councils when when 1115 00:50:23,839 --> 00:50:25,760 James is out speaking to you know our 1116 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,480 schools you know specifically around uh 1117 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,880 thin steel cans um plastic bags is still 1118 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:37,119 a confusing topic. um glass, scrap 1119 00:50:37,119 --> 00:50:39,200 metal. So, those were those were some 1120 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,359 key topics and and we're really excited 1121 00:50:41,359 --> 00:50:43,119 about this information because we're 1122 00:50:43,119 --> 00:50:45,119 able to use this with um with our 1123 00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:47,599 sustainability and um do a little more 1124 00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:51,520 education on on that, right? Um and 1125 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,119 surprisingly, 37% of the respondents 1126 00:50:55,119 --> 00:50:58,000 felt confident that the recyclables are 1127 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,520 actually being recycled. So, yeah. So, 1128 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,920 and and I know Ellen and I just in a few 1129 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,599 uh you know council meetings that we 1130 00:51:05,599 --> 00:51:07,839 recently have gone to folks actually 1131 00:51:07,839 --> 00:51:09,680 asked that question. They're like are 1132 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,359 recycles actually being recycled? But 1133 00:51:11,359 --> 00:51:13,119 that gave us an opportunity to explain 1134 00:51:13,119 --> 00:51:15,359 yes they are. And um one of the things 1135 00:51:15,359 --> 00:51:17,359 we're excited about also in that new 1136 00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:19,520 seasonal container, you know, collection 1137 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,760 program, you know, like the tires, those 1138 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,160 are going to be recycled and used for 1139 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,319 other items. Same with the mattresses. 1140 00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:28,480 And so it helps us divert more more 1141 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,960 items away from the landfill. So, it 1142 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,400 might be nice to include that in some of 1143 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,920 the messaging for that program, too. 1144 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,480 Yep. Good idea. 1145 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,480 >> Been a couple of years since we heard 1146 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,040 that, oh, China's not taking recyclables 1147 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,559 anymore, so it's all going to the 1148 00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:46,559 landfill anyway. So, that's why there's 1149 00:51:46,559 --> 00:51:52,790 that perception out. 1150 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,440 And then um most of the barriers that 1151 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,760 the residents um that responded found 1152 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,079 were what they felt were unclear or hard 1153 00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:03,920 to access information. So um what's 1154 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,680 interesting is you know it leads into 1155 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,520 the next bullet point which is they want 1156 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,880 simple accessible uh guidance. You know 1157 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,800 those those stickers that we put on our 1158 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,040 recycle bins I think have really helped. 1159 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:20,319 So they want more of that and and it's funny to me because I'm like oh my 1160 00:52:20,319 --> 00:52:23,200 gosh. So they they want, you know, 1161 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,680 mobile scanning apps. And so that was a 1162 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,200 key indicator to me that we're not 1163 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,599 advertising our app that we have 1164 00:52:29,599 --> 00:52:32,240 >> as well as as we could. So again, this 1165 00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:34,880 was a great learning tool for us to know 1166 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,599 um you know, what what to focus on. And 1167 00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:39,599 as you all recall from our our last 1168 00:52:39,599 --> 00:52:41,359 board meeting, you know, communication 1169 00:52:41,359 --> 00:52:44,319 was our was like our opening topic. And 1170 00:52:44,319 --> 00:52:45,839 um some I just wanted to give you all a 1171 00:52:45,839 --> 00:52:47,839 couple of things that we're working on 1172 00:52:47,839 --> 00:52:49,839 um from giving getting this information 1173 00:52:49,839 --> 00:52:52,559 and also um since the last board meeting 1174 00:52:52,559 --> 00:52:56,640 um you know we're looking at creating a 1175 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,319 customer and communication playbook and 1176 00:52:58,319 --> 00:53:00,319 I'm about halfway done with that and 1177 00:53:00,319 --> 00:53:02,960 then I will review that and we'll just 1178 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,040 uh then spread it you know throughout 1179 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,359 the organization and some of those items 1180 00:53:07,359 --> 00:53:10,240 include um you know monthly uh social 1181 00:53:10,240 --> 00:53:11,920 posts that we can leave to the city that 1182 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,000 it's easy for them to communicate 1183 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,440 Um, let's see here. Uh, you know, some 1184 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,280 of the topics that that we thought about 1185 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:20,640 initially was like what really happens 1186 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,760 to your recycling. Um, you know, top 1187 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,800 contamination items, myth busting, and 1188 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,640 then, um, quick visual recycle guides. 1189 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,079 Just really starting to get some of that 1190 00:53:30,079 --> 00:53:31,920 stuff out there. And, um, and we've 1191 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,200 learned that residents really like 1192 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,440 videos. That was another thing from, um, 1193 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,359 you know, our our board meeting, one of 1194 00:53:37,359 --> 00:53:40,240 our talk talking sessions that that we 1195 00:53:40,240 --> 00:53:42,240 learned. And so um so we're gonna have a 1196 00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:44,000 few stars within the organization. We 1197 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,119 just don't know yet. So so I think we'll 1198 00:53:47,119 --> 00:53:49,599 have fun with that. But um but yeah, so 1199 00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:52,240 this is a great segue I think into um 1200 00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:53,839 some information that James is still 1201 00:53:53,839 --> 00:53:56,240 going to share with you next because uh 1202 00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:57,839 he he does an excellent job of giving 1203 00:53:57,839 --> 00:54:00,240 out the community, the schools and and 1204 00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:01,599 um so we're just we're just going to 1205 00:54:01,599 --> 00:54:03,040 focus on that a little bit more over 1206 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:04,800 this next year and just just really, you 1207 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,480 know, give those those uh those 1208 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,079 playbooks out to our cities to make it 1209 00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:10,559 easy for them. 1210 00:54:10,559 --> 00:54:12,720 Thank you so much.

Uh 1240 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:15,760 James I've met some of you in the past 1241 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,319 but there's some great faces here. Um 1242 00:55:18,319 --> 00:55:20,079 I've been with the organization for 1243 00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:26,069 about 11 years for about 1244 00:55:26,079 --> 00:55:28,559 um so today I'm just going to go over 1245 00:55:28,559 --> 00:55:30,400 our waste diversion efforts and 1246 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,920 recycling an analytics. uh basically to 1247 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,800 um highlight um our districtwide 1248 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,079 recycling, green waste, glass recycling 1249 00:55:40,079 --> 00:55:42,000 efforts, contamination reduction 1250 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:48,789 efforts, outreach. 1251 00:55:48,799 --> 00:55:51,200 Skip this slide. 1252 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,480 Yeah. So, um, my purpose with this 1253 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,400 report is basically just to provide a 1254 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,520 year-end overview of our waste diversion 1255 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,240 efforts for 2025, 1256 00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:04,319 um, and our contamination reduction 1257 00:56:04,319 --> 00:56:07,760 efforts. Um, and we'll use this to track 1258 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,359 and monitor Congress with sustainability 1259 00:56:11,359 --> 00:56:12,880 goals 1260 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,480 forward. 1261 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,240 Um, I want to highlight some of the 1262 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:18,160 environmental and financial impacts that 1263 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,880 these waste diversion opportunities 1264 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,920 provide us. Um, and also share some 1265 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,200 insight into what markets are doing as 1266 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:35,270 far as 1267 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,599 all right. So, um, some of the benefits 1268 00:56:37,599 --> 00:56:39,359 of waste diversion, I'm sure you've all 1269 00:56:39,359 --> 00:56:41,520 heard them before, but they bear 1270 00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,040 repeating. Um, provides several 1271 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,079 benefits. Um, recycling and composting 1272 00:56:48,079 --> 00:56:50,240 first and foremost reduces our need for 1273 00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:54,000 virgin uh uh materials and consumes 1274 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,359 natural resources. Um, it also reduces 1275 00:56:57,359 --> 00:57:00,240 greenhouse gas emissions associated with 1276 00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:03,760 bi manufacturing. 1277 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,280 Um, it also preserves landfill air space 1278 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,400 and extends the life lands by diverting 1279 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,880 those materials from new lands. 1280 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,160 uh sources and then lastly supports a 1281 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,520 circular economy by reintroducing those 1282 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,680 materials back um back into production 1283 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:27,589 essentially. 1284 00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:31,280 Um all that sounds great but um I think 1285 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,119 putting some actual numbers and 1286 00:57:33,119 --> 00:57:35,599 statistics with our recycling efforts is 1287 00:57:35,599 --> 00:57:38,079 valuable. This has been well received by 1288 00:57:38,079 --> 00:57:40,720 each community that we share this with. 1289 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,040 Um throughout the year we conduct 1290 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,839 regular samples that give us an idea as 1291 00:57:45,839 --> 00:57:47,520 to what materials are coming into the 1292 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,559 recycling plant. Uh we have a monitoring 1293 00:57:50,559 --> 00:57:53,359 breakdown. We conduct the sorts monthly 1294 00:57:53,359 --> 00:57:56,799 to give us that breakdown. Um and we can 1295 00:57:56,799 --> 00:57:59,520 use total tonnages to estimate the tages 1296 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,760 of uh each commodity. We then use uh the 1297 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,119 EPA RAM model to estimate total resource 1298 00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:10,799 savings. So looking at total tendage 1299 00:58:10,799 --> 00:58:15,119 over recycling is impressive but to the 1300 00:58:15,119 --> 00:58:17,040 tangible 1301 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,880 savings 1302 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,559 on the board I think definitely makes it 1303 00:58:20,559 --> 00:58:23,280 that bigger impact. So using the warm 1304 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,359 climate model, we estimate a reduction 1305 00:58:25,359 --> 00:58:27,680 of about 219,000 1306 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,880 matured tons, a reduction of 92 million 1307 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,440 gallons of water, 1308 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,480 uh 50,324 1309 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:41,280 metric tons of greenhouse gas reduction, 1310 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,559 864 megawatt. 1311 00:58:44,559 --> 00:58:46,319 >> That's just for last year. 1312 00:58:46,319 --> 00:58:48,000 >> This is just for last year. And this is 1313 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,319 districtwide. We can't break this down 1314 00:58:50,319 --> 00:58:53,680 into each uh municipality. Um as well 1315 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,319 using that same model. The EDA also has 1316 00:58:56,319 --> 00:58:58,640 a high 1317 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,040 break down individual 1318 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:12,470 impact. So for your rec. 1319 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,040 So looking at our diversion rate uh 1320 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:19,280 across Wboard um unfortunately we were 1321 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,720 down in 2025 to 17.98% 1322 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:26,079 a little bit below our 2% version goal 1323 00:59:26,079 --> 00:59:31,520 um however it is a small amount 39% 204 1324 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,040 and we're seeing a tiny reduction across 1325 00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,760 almost every metric as far as rapid use 1326 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,960 recyclable glass and green waste is the 1327 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,559 only exception. uh we did see a 1328 00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:44,640 significant increase in time on our 1329 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,839 Christmas tree up to 36 tons. 1330 00:59:47,839 --> 00:59:50,559 >> So why do you think there is a drop in 1331 00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:52,160 holocaust? 1332 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:56,640 >> I speculate that it's a wider consumer 1333 00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,319 sentiment 1334 00:59:58,319 --> 01:00:00,400 situation. Maybe people are consuming 1335 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,640 lesser behaviors or changing with 1336 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:06,240 people. Um that would be my speculation 1337 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,319 as far as it as that goes. We're still 1338 01:00:08,319 --> 01:00:10,240 seeing 1339 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:14,390 centers. 1340 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,480 You know, we're at about 19,000 tons of 1341 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,880 recycle 1342 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,640 expensive glass, but it's 1343 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:26,309 a little less 1344 01:00:26,319 --> 01:00:31,270 interesting. 1345 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,280 » And then this is uh diversion rates by 1346 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,400 cities. Um 1347 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,960 you know that uh diversion increases as 1348 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,839 resources are available. Uh more 1349 01:00:41,839 --> 01:00:44,240 recycling cans, more green waste cans, 1350 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,240 glass recycling cans are obviously going 1351 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,559 to lead to higher diversion rates within 1352 01:00:48,559 --> 01:00:51,520 the city. Um 1353 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,960 as we work to expand knowledge of our 1354 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,480 programs under green program 1355 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,599 hopefully we will regional distance and 1356 01:01:01,599 --> 01:01:03,040 increase diversion across all 1357 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,280 municipalities 1358 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,440 um and education and outreach will be a 1359 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,760 big part of 1360 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,480 achieving that goal. But if we look at 1361 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,480 that chart on the right, the diversion 1362 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,040 rate by city, there are two things I 1363 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,599 want to point out. Uh, I immigration 1364 01:01:19,599 --> 01:01:21,599 canyon does have a extremely high 1365 01:01:21,599 --> 01:01:24,319 diverging rate and Brighton is not 1366 01:01:24,319 --> 01:01:25,440 listed on there. 1367 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:25,920 >> Yeah. 1368 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,839 >> The reason is uh we collect front 1369 01:01:27,839 --> 01:01:30,720 containers for them. We doesn't break 1370 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,200 out the total image from our front 1371 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,160 program. So if we take the found program 1372 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,799 and incorporate it in there 1373 01:01:38,799 --> 01:01:41,680 from multiple other locations and really 1374 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,319 squeeze that data, it's extremely high. 1375 01:01:44,319 --> 01:01:47,920 So I just wanted to 1376 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,680 certain simple. 1377 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:55,510 >> Thanks for 1378 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,680 slide to the next one. Okay. Um 1379 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,079 recycling tipping fees. Uh one major 1380 01:02:02,079 --> 01:02:04,640 thing uh that stands out that we uh have 1381 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,400 been struggling with or did struggle 1382 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,040 with in 2005 was increased to the fees 1383 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,119 overall despite the fact that 1384 01:02:11,119 --> 01:02:13,119 opportunities just were down uh 1385 01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:14,640 year-over-year. 1386 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,400 Um 1387 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,559 one of the contributing factors to that 1388 01:02:18,559 --> 01:02:20,640 is well the main contributing factor to 1389 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,559 that is uh processing fees due to uh 1390 01:02:24,559 --> 01:02:27,839 recycling markets. Um, and that really 1391 01:02:27,839 --> 01:02:30,079 shows in quarter three and quarter four 1392 01:02:30,079 --> 01:02:32,000 2025. 1393 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,920 Um, 1394 01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,440 our recycling tipping fees based off of 1395 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,599 the market value of the products that 1396 01:02:39,599 --> 01:02:41,440 we're bringing in, how much of each 1397 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,599 product we're bringing in, and then also 1398 01:02:43,599 --> 01:02:45,920 our 1399 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,079 contamination rates. 1400 01:02:48,079 --> 01:02:51,200 So we are trying to address the 1401 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,240 recycling uh difficulties that we have 1402 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,720 through uh addressing contamination with 1403 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,119 our quality assurance team uh education 1404 01:02:59,119 --> 01:03:01,359 and outreach driving participation in 1405 01:03:01,359 --> 01:03:04,720 reporting contaminated hands out tag. So 1406 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,480 I'll dig into that just a little bit 1407 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,670 later. 1408 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:13,760 Go to the next slide. So these are um 1409 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,240 our monthly tipping fees at each 1410 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,119 material recovery facility. Uh we can 1411 01:03:19,119 --> 01:03:22,000 see in March waste management standard 1412 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,079 $20266 1413 01:03:24,079 --> 01:03:27,680 a ton. We saw significant increases over 1414 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,480 time almost up to $80 towards the end of 1415 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,559 the year. 1416 01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:34,240 Rocky Mountain recycling was a little 1417 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,280 more consistent. Uh we were at a low in 1418 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,039 the beginning of the year in May at 1419 01:03:39,039 --> 01:03:41,039 $3021. 1420 01:03:41,039 --> 01:03:44,160 Folks on increase up to just under $65 1421 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:49,039 by December. So we're following similar 1422 01:03:49,039 --> 01:03:50,559 but 1423 01:03:50,559 --> 01:03:54,789 definitely an increase again 1424 01:03:54,799 --> 01:03:59,109 processing fees for 1425 01:03:59,119 --> 01:04:02,160 jump to the next slide. Uh these are all 1426 01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,160 the materials that are accepted from the 1427 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:08,000 different groups and their uh value 1428 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:12,640 rebate that we get. Um as we can see uh 1429 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,079 our most predominant um resource being 1430 01:04:16,079 --> 01:04:19,119 fibers cardboard uh to be a significant 1431 01:04:19,119 --> 01:04:24,390 decrease from 2024 1432 01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:28,630 has slid22 1433 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,359 trending down. 1434 01:04:31,359 --> 01:04:34,079 Uh metal markets maintained pretty 1435 01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:38,160 healthy status throughout the year. Not 1436 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,400 too much of a change there, but a big 1437 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,440 problem we have with plastics. Uh we can 1438 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:48,799 see a a sharp increase on the HD 1439 01:04:48,799 --> 01:04:52,559 on order two. Those are like clear. 1440 01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:55,520 Uh those are our most valuable. 1441 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,319 They can be red. So they have a high 1442 01:04:58,319 --> 01:05:01,839 value. They they dropped 1443 01:05:01,839 --> 01:05:04,079 four as well as our PET plastics which 1444 01:05:04,079 --> 01:05:06,799 is like this plastic water bottles or so 1445 01:05:06,799 --> 01:05:10,480 bottles and also color HP about that 1446 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:16,309 same time I bought 1447 01:05:16,319 --> 01:05:20,230 » is it generally that 1448 01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:24,000 » from from what I've seen yes but again 1449 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,119 >> several years back looking forward into 1450 01:05:27,119 --> 01:05:30,640 this year we have seen that booing 1451 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,359 again. So, but we do have more 1452 01:05:35,359 --> 01:05:38,000 oil. 1453 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,799 >> Makes sense. 1454 01:05:40,799 --> 01:05:43,760 >> Slide to the next one. 1455 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,760 So, these are just a quick overview of 1456 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,760 the results that we've seen from our 1457 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,240 sorts um at both conservable recovery 1458 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,359 facilities. Uh Rocky Mountain Recycling 1459 01:05:53,359 --> 01:05:55,200 uh is where we take the majority of our 1460 01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,839 material. We conducted 71 sample sorts 1461 01:05:57,839 --> 01:06:00,960 with Rocky Mountain recycling. Um and 1462 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,319 these were the findings that we had for 1463 01:06:04,319 --> 01:06:09,119 saw slight increase in our app. 1464 01:06:09,119 --> 01:06:11,440 Um and paper remained about the same. 1465 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:16,480 This is in form with me slightly. 1466 01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,880 uh we did see a decrease at both mers of 1467 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,760 HDP natural and color possibly 1468 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:26,069 indicating a change in 1469 01:06:26,079 --> 01:06:27,680 a big thing I wanted to highlight here 1470 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,680 is our residual waste on the bottom we 1471 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:33,119 saw decrease 2024 1472 01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:36,319 uh down to 18.5% so a decrease of 1.48% 1473 01:06:36,319 --> 01:06:40,150 for 8%. 1474 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,119 We jump to the next one. 1475 01:06:43,119 --> 01:06:44,960 Looking at waste management. Again, 1476 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,760 similar trends. an increase in cardboard 1477 01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:51,440 indicating a more fiber richching 1478 01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,520 paper remaining about the same and 1479 01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,319 slight decreases with our HT 1480 01:06:56,319 --> 01:07:00,069 and PT 1481 01:07:00,079 --> 01:07:03,280 waste management significant decrease in 1482 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:08,870 trash down 8.57% 1483 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,480 and attributing this to 1484 01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:16,390 reach participation 1485 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,720 So that's great. 1486 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,359 Just next one. 1487 01:07:21,359 --> 01:07:23,839 Um these this is just a year-over-year 1488 01:07:23,839 --> 01:07:25,440 change in our contamination rates for 1489 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,520 Rocky Mountain Recycling. 1490 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,960 Since 2022, we've seen a 7.37% 1491 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,280 decrease year-over-year. We're down to 1492 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,640 18.05% for Rock Mountain below our 20% 1493 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,359 goal. Um which is great news. And we're 1494 01:07:39,359 --> 01:07:41,599 seeing that reduction across every 1495 01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:48,069 scalpy take. 1496 01:07:48,079 --> 01:07:50,720 The next one uh waste management. We're 1497 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,720 seeing similar trends. We're down in 1498 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,309 contamination. 1499 01:07:56,319 --> 01:07:57,839 However, I do want to highlight we've 1500 01:07:57,839 --> 01:08:00,079 only conducted nine sample source waste 1501 01:08:00,079 --> 01:08:04,160 management. much smaller pool than 1502 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,720 unfortunately but we're still seeing a 1503 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,480 major decrease in 77 8% and again 1504 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,960 decrease across every municipality that 1505 01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:14,640 take 1506 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,839 materials to dispatch 1507 01:08:17,839 --> 01:08:24,630 so we're seeing excellent excellent 1508 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,199 and then this is just districtwide this 1509 01:08:27,199 --> 01:08:30,400 is a combination of all sound sorts down 1510 01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:34,080 to 19% below our 20 1511 01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:37,759 for the year. Um, and this was across 80 1512 01:08:37,759 --> 01:08:40,159 sound resorts for the entire year. 1513 01:08:40,159 --> 01:08:42,159 Again, 1514 01:08:42,159 --> 01:08:44,080 Taylor'sville was a unique situation 1515 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:45,679 because we're taking some material from 1516 01:08:45,679 --> 01:08:48,560 Taylorville to Rocky Mountain, some to 1517 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,319 waste management even when we still 1518 01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:56,000 so awesome, awesome work. And James, let 1519 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,480 me just add in briefly. So if a load 1520 01:08:58,480 --> 01:09:00,640 comes in, there's contamination after 1521 01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,600 the motors, everything that's acceptable 1522 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,080 that's that's clean and that's that's 1523 01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,560 intended and targeted for recycling is 1524 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,799 still getting recovered and ultimately 1525 01:09:10,799 --> 01:09:13,520 recycled at these facilities. So the 1526 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:14,960 contamination is basically the 1527 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,759 proportion of materials that are not 1528 01:09:17,759 --> 01:09:20,960 recoverable for recycling or that are 1529 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:24,239 otherwise not hard to capture as part of 1530 01:09:24,239 --> 01:09:26,480 the recycling process. So waste 1531 01:09:26,480 --> 01:09:27,359 management they had different 1532 01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:29,759 categories. So like the fines that's 1533 01:09:29,759 --> 01:09:32,080 things that are really small like two 1534 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,920 three inch minus materials that fall 1535 01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,480 through the conveyor system on sorting 1536 01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:39,520 criteria and so forth. Uh contamination 1537 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,400 the lower we have 1538 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,799 part of these these composition audits. 1539 01:09:44,799 --> 01:09:46,719 There's a a running average for each of 1540 01:09:46,719 --> 01:09:50,719 our our largely our partner cities and 1541 01:09:50,719 --> 01:09:54,560 the cost is is a function of the monthly 1542 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,120 commodity market values and then the 1543 01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,760 rate in which they've identified the 1544 01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,719 contamination or residue rate is offset 1545 01:10:02,719 --> 01:10:04,480 as part of it. So all these countries 1546 01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:07,280 are a base processing fee minus the 1547 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:08,880 rebates based on our material 1548 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:10,480 composition for the values of those 1549 01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:13,360 materials but then they add back in that 1550 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,600 residual cost as well. So as 1551 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,520 contamination goes down that ultimately 1552 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,000 saves money across the entire district 1553 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:31,189 and reduces those overall. 1554 01:10:31,199 --> 01:10:35,199 So um uh our efforts to reduce that 1555 01:10:35,199 --> 01:10:37,840 contamination uh is based mostly off of 1556 01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,280 our less tag program. Uh this is headed 1557 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,080 by our quality assurance inspector um as 1558 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:45,679 well as our drivers. Our drivers come 1559 01:10:45,679 --> 01:10:47,760 from crosscontamination but goal is to 1560 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,350 address it. 1561 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,159 Uh we don't want the roof capturing 1562 01:10:54,159 --> 01:10:56,320 those materials um especially during our 1563 01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,199 rentals that affect the prices that will 1564 01:10:59,199 --> 01:11:02,080 stay. Uh we've had a lot of buying with 1565 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:03,679 our drivers this year. We've had a total 1566 01:11:03,679 --> 01:11:10,229 of 2,648 reports from drivers. 1567 01:11:10,239 --> 01:11:12,800 Uh which is about 221 every single 1568 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:13,600 month. 1569 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,199 >> What does that actually look like? And 1570 01:11:15,199 --> 01:11:17,600 how are the drivers? I guess I I'm 1571 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:19,840 seeing the the closed lids as I drive 1572 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,040 down the street. Like how do they 1573 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:22,400 usually identify that? 1574 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,760 >> So um these include uh this does include 1575 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,719 reports for cans at the curb. There are 1576 01:11:28,719 --> 01:11:30,159 some reports for cans that have been 1577 01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:33,520 dumped.

Obviously 1968 01:30:44,159 --> 01:30:47,040 showing a an ongoing increase in that. 1969 01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:49,360 Uh the next page is the dashboard that 1970 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,520 David has put together which has a lot 1971 01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:53,760 of really interesting uh and insightful 1972 01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,000 information here. Um in the middle, I 1973 01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:57,199 know it's hard to see on the screen 1974 01:30:57,199 --> 01:30:59,760 here. This is in the the board packet. 1975 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,639 Um, but our year-over-year change, if we 1976 01:31:02,639 --> 01:31:04,880 look at 2021 1977 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:06,800 through 2025, the very middle of the 1978 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:10,080 chart there, 2021, our total lending 1979 01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:13,440 cost was about 3.3 million. 2025, we 1980 01:31:13,440 --> 01:31:15,520 were about 4.86 1981 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,159 million. So, from that time frame alone, 1982 01:31:18,159 --> 01:31:21,600 we see 44%. 1983 01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:25,760 So, fairly substantial. Um, as a whole, 1984 01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,719 our overall fuel costs haven't really 1985 01:31:28,719 --> 01:31:31,199 spiked or changed too much. I'm starting 1986 01:31:31,199 --> 01:31:34,320 to think that CNG is a much more 1987 01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:37,520 resilient fuel type whereas diesel is 1988 01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:41,679 very volatile in some cases. But pause 1989 01:31:41,679 --> 01:31:42,960 here and see if D, is there anything 1990 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,880 that you wanted to maybe point out 1991 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:46,719 specifically as part of the staff 1992 01:31:46,719 --> 01:31:48,960 forward or um things that we should 1993 01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,880 make? 1994 01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:58,550 Um 1995 01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:02,000 so when you're running 1996 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:06,550 how many 1997 01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:12,709 units 1998 01:32:12,719 --> 01:32:14,400 and then one thing you can show the very 1999 01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:16,800 bottom of this dashboard 2000 01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:21,120 um on the yeah there so so David does a 2001 01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:26,239 ton of integrating data and working with LER team and poor as well. We look 2002 01:32:26,239 --> 01:32:30,400 at this cost per mile type. So if we 2003 01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,679 look at that that bottom table there, 2004 01:32:33,679 --> 01:32:35,600 there's a total cost per mile was also 2005 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:38,560 the maintenance cost per mile as well. 2006 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:40,480 And so the maintenance cost per mile has 2007 01:32:40,480 --> 01:32:44,719 gone up again from 2021 was about $2.74 2008 01:32:44,719 --> 01:32:47,199 per mile. It does not include the fuel. 2009 01:32:47,199 --> 01:32:50,800 um to in 2025 they're about $420. 2010 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,920 So seeing those those increases and I 2011 01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:57,120 guess we're looking at but again we 2012 01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:00,159 continue to see increased cost from 2013 01:33:00,159 --> 01:33:02,400 authentic our service providers as well. 2014 01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:04,560 So we're going to go to the the next 2015 01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:07,280 page there. We we also did meet at the 2016 01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:08,800 end of last year with the fleet 2017 01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:12,480 departments and kind of review um their 2018 01:33:12,480 --> 01:33:16,400 trend but also their adjustments in 2019 01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:22,320 their rates. So we did see a $6 per hour 2020 01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,960 can rate increase this year which also 2021 01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,520 attributed to our increased costs but 2022 01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:29,520 also we look at the labor hours that 2023 01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,280 they've incurred for our truck since 2024 01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:32,960 2021. 2025 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:34,800 uh and through through the program there 2026 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,760 has been a continued increase in that as 2027 01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:41,679 well. Uh we also had fuel costs um 2028 01:33:41,679 --> 01:33:44,480 estimates and forecasts here. Um 2029 01:33:44,480 --> 01:33:45,920 originally they thought that diesel 2030 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,760 would maybe go down segments. C again 2031 01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:52,080 have been very quite resilient to 2032 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,320 consistent throughout those years. Uh 2033 01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:56,159 but you can also go to the next page for 2034 01:33:56,159 --> 01:33:56,480 a 2035 01:33:56,480 --> 01:33:59,840 >> but hold on just a second. Go back. Um 2036 01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:02,800 those labor hours 2037 01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,280 haven't increased to the same percentage 2038 01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:07,920 that our costs are increasing. Is that 2039 01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,800 am I reading that right? Because it 2040 01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:13,120 looks like that those labor hours have 2041 01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:16,320 only increased by roughly I mean 2021 to 2042 01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:18,320 2022 was a thousand but really since 2043 01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,960 then it's been pretty flatline. 2044 01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:23,679 Um and so I guess I'm just trying to 2045 01:34:23,679 --> 01:34:27,120 understand where it's continuing where 2046 01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:29,520 the costs are continuing to be drinks. 2047 01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:31,360 >> Sure. Absolutely. I think a lot of it's 2048 01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:33,199 going to be attributable to parts and 2049 01:34:33,199 --> 01:34:36,080 supplies. So the older trucks also the 2050 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:37,440 parts are more difficult to find. They 2051 01:34:37,440 --> 01:34:39,840 become more expensive. Um a lot of 2052 01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,560 things are purchased from global markets 2053 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,320 as well. So 2054 01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:45,920 >> Dave can probably speak more more to 2055 01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:49,679 this, but you know, we do incur a fairly 2056 01:34:49,679 --> 01:34:51,920 large markup when we buy the parts as 2057 01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,600 well as well. But so the county fleet, 2058 01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,159 they manage all all of the repair 2059 01:34:58,159 --> 01:34:59,520 maintenance of the student. So we have 2060 01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:01,520 our team that oversees that, coordinates 2061 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:05,199 that, helps to um facilitate all of 2062 01:35:05,199 --> 01:35:07,760 those maintenance and repairs as well. 2063 01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,760 But the next slide kind of shows more or 2064 01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:11,679 less where some of these costs are maybe 2065 01:35:11,679 --> 01:35:14,080 coming in. Uh, so if you can just zoom 2066 01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,719 in a little bit there, Rene. So the the 2067 01:35:16,719 --> 01:35:19,360 mechanic hour is is an hourly rate and 2068 01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:22,320 we're largely using the heavy duty um 2069 01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:25,679 labor rates about $135 per hour. Again, 2070 01:35:25,679 --> 01:35:28,000 that's increased since last year. But we 2071 01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,719 also have a shop fee is the kind of 2072 01:35:30,719 --> 01:35:33,920 environmental fee where the deposition 2073 01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:36,239 of used oils and fluids and other things 2074 01:35:36,239 --> 01:35:38,560 like that are actually packed on. And 2075 01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:41,679 then the parts markup is a big one. So 2076 01:35:41,679 --> 01:35:43,040 this is through our agreement with 2077 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:46,639 county fleet but there is a 26% markup 2078 01:35:46,639 --> 01:35:48,880 on all parts and that's where we're 2079 01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:50,400 seeing a lot of those costs and seeing 2080 01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:51,199 the increase 2081 01:35:51,199 --> 01:35:53,760 >> and that's an increase 2082 01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:56,400 that's on that 26 2083 01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:58,159 >> it's the government overhead the 2084 01:35:58,159 --> 01:36:02,239 management utilities um you know it is 2085 01:36:02,239 --> 01:36:04,320 rather extensive our original contract 2086 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:07,280 if they look back the original 2087 01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:10,639 cars mark was 22 or 24% 2088 01:36:10,639 --> 01:36:15,520 but it has gone up to now 26%. So 2089 01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,120 we're really trying to deep dive this 2090 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:18,480 understanding how much you're paying for 2091 01:36:18,480 --> 01:36:21,440 markups and paying for cards and um 2092 01:36:21,440 --> 01:36:22,800 ultimately at the end of the day is this 2093 01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:25,600 something that we should continue or 2094 01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:27,120 shoulder 2095 01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:33,590 evaluate 2096 01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:36,400 based on just some of this limited 2097 01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:39,120 additional information. Uh but we we are 2098 01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:41,280 paying a lot and we've been with Fleet 2099 01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:44,719 and talk about the markup and um all of 2100 01:36:44,719 --> 01:36:47,520 their customers which includes county 2101 01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:50,159 departments um school districts for 2102 01:36:50,159 --> 01:36:52,400 example 2103 01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:55,040 my so that they're all paying this 2104 01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:57,280 equivalent and same rates that we are 2105 01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:00,639 not paying rates that others. So this is 2106 01:37:00,639 --> 01:37:02,239 kind of built in to cover those overhead 2107 01:37:02,239 --> 01:37:05,040 costs and their management know their 2108 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:08,639 buildings utilities etc. But it is an 2109 01:37:08,639 --> 01:37:12,560 increasing cost and one that um we pay a 2110 01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:14,320 lot just on high rates. But of course 2111 01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:16,719 that parts market is is rather 2112 01:37:16,719 --> 01:37:20,320 >> why they marking up their parts. 2113 01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:22,480 >> Great question and one again that I 2114 01:37:22,480 --> 01:37:26,159 >> mean they're essentially nonprofit 2115 01:37:26,159 --> 01:37:28,719 but not for profit. They're buying their 2116 01:37:28,719 --> 01:37:33,990 parts directly from a provider. 2117 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,400 So to my understanding with county 2118 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,639 police several other parts actually 2119 01:37:38,639 --> 01:37:41,440 transition from general funded to a 2120 01:37:41,440 --> 01:37:45,360 degree to now they're operating as 2121 01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:48,320 >> so so their markup covering the cost of 2122 01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:51,360 their looking to purchase the products 2123 01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,679 the guy that's maintaining their their 2124 01:37:53,679 --> 01:37:56,239 inventory in their shop. They have you 2125 01:37:56,239 --> 01:37:58,320 know several physical analysts and 2126 01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,320 management that manages their fleet 2127 01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:03,040 shops. So all those are covering their 2128 01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:06,400 overhead costs and providing service 2129 01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,800 comprehensively. So in essence, you 2130 01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:10,480 know, part of our part of our service 2131 01:38:10,480 --> 01:38:13,040 rates, even that's just a bad example, 2132 01:38:13,040 --> 01:38:15,199 but part of our service rates to collect 2133 01:38:15,199 --> 01:38:18,800 trash and recycling is is probably my 2134 01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:19,280 definition. 2135 01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:20,639 >> Sure. 2136 01:38:20,639 --> 01:38:23,040 >> But 26%. 2137 01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,440 >> I was quite surprised myself. I I've 2138 01:38:25,440 --> 01:38:28,159 worked in private consulting and usually 2139 01:38:28,159 --> 01:38:30,400 those markers are between 10 to 15 to 2140 01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:34,400 20%. Um but exceeding 20% is is rather 2141 01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:38,719 expensive and we pay quite a bit 2142 01:38:38,719 --> 01:38:40,560 >> and parts alone also. 2143 01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,000 >> We go direct on the parts. 2144 01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,639 >> We could this would be stand up a whole 2145 01:38:46,639 --> 01:38:48,800 new program having our own shop and 2146 01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:50,320 inventory and 2147 01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:52,560 >> no I just buy the part take it. I grew 2148 01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:55,040 up in an auto parts store and 2149 01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:58,480 >> supplied for all of Utah and that is an 2150 01:38:58,480 --> 01:39:00,880 extremely high rate 2151 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:03,520 >> and so I mean a lot of people now are 2152 01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,199 just going to write I know it's 2153 01:39:05,199 --> 01:39:05,760 different 2154 01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:08,080 >> but garbage trucks but 2155 01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:10,080 >> I think we ought to push back on that 2156 01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,400 >> we know 2157 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,159 >> it it seems to me that there and it 2158 01:39:14,159 --> 01:39:15,440 sounds like you're in the process of 2159 01:39:15,440 --> 01:39:17,280 diving into all these so there's this 2160 01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:19,760 markup issue 2161 01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:22,159 um there's also the issue have an aging 2162 01:39:22,159 --> 01:39:23,280 fleet, which it sounds like we're 2163 01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,360 addressing with the trucks that are 2164 01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:26,800 coming in at the end of the month. And I 2165 01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:28,560 know we got a little behind because we 2166 01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,280 stopped those capital purchases 2167 01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:36,000 >> um at the end of the year. Um so it 2168 01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:37,520 seems to me that there's some of this is 2169 01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:39,440 a structural issue, some of it is we 2170 01:39:39,440 --> 01:39:42,159 kind of got behind um on issues. So I I 2171 01:39:42,159 --> 01:39:44,880 think like looking at this, there's a 2172 01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:47,360 lot of avenues we still need to explore 2173 01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:50,159 to really identify why the classes are 2174 01:39:50,159 --> 01:39:51,679 going the way that they are. so that we 2175 01:39:51,679 --> 01:39:53,679 can then look at the best possible 2176 01:39:53,679 --> 01:39:55,440 solutions to address it. 2177 01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:58,239 >> Correct. Yeah, this is something we're 2178 01:39:58,239 --> 01:40:00,000 continuing to evaluate. It's part of the 2179 01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,360 forward meetings and um I've kind of in 2180 01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:05,760 a nice diplomatic way of kind of the 2181 01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:07,600 discussion with them on some of these 2182 01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:12,480 items that um I mean it was sticker 2183 01:40:12,480 --> 01:40:14,719 >> better understanding it but at the same 2184 01:40:14,719 --> 01:40:18,159 time is is that markup fully 2185 01:40:18,159 --> 01:40:20,880 justifiable? There's also this the shop 2186 01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,760 fee which comes through as a 2187 01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:25,600 environmental charge and that's the 2188 01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:29,280 actual shop fee is based on a markup on 2189 01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:32,960 the labor that we're in. That's to to 2190 01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:37,119 maintain you know the heat suppies 2191 01:40:37,119 --> 01:40:38,960 and filters was kind of some of the 2192 01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:42,880 general consumer goals but also being 2193 01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:44,480 oil and pantries and things like that 2194 01:40:44,480 --> 01:40:47,119 does also cost money it's based on their 2195 01:40:47,119 --> 01:40:50,159 enterprise model. Um compared to last 2196 01:40:50,159 --> 01:40:53,520 year the pilots that we did reflect an 2197 01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,400 increase uh but the the market has been 2198 01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:58,800 that way for a period of time but our 2199 01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:01,199 original contracts I believe that 2200 01:41:01,199 --> 01:41:06,149 original market was 22. 2201 01:41:06,159 --> 01:41:08,800 So Evan, I also wonder, so it sounds I 2202 01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:10,239 mean we have the option to work with the 2203 01:41:10,239 --> 01:41:12,000 county. We have the option to create our 2204 01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,360 own in-house, but are there other 2205 01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:20,159 private shops that service like these 2206 01:41:20,159 --> 01:41:22,000 larger? 2207 01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:23,600 >> There are and I believe there was an 2208 01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:27,280 analysis done a few years ago looking at 2209 01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:29,360 what it would look like to use a a 2210 01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:30,880 private shop. So one thing that's good 2211 01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:34,239 with with county police is like we share 2212 01:41:34,239 --> 01:41:37,040 a crew with some of them. They're right. 2213 01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:38,880 There's a lot of synergies and 2214 01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:41,040 efficiencies as as part of where they're 2215 01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:43,920 located and where we are at as well. And 2216 01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:45,440 they were great. They've been very 2217 01:41:45,440 --> 01:41:49,040 responsive to our questions and um 2218 01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:51,360 >> so that analysis is already good. It's 2219 01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:51,840 not 2220 01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:59,119 >> his historically I'm not sure if we have a compilation of those results 2221 01:41:59,119 --> 01:42:02,800 but looking longer term and city of five 2222 01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:04,800 step has it own inhouse fleets and 2223 01:42:04,800 --> 01:42:07,119 mechanics they were largely enterprise 2224 01:42:07,119 --> 01:42:10,080 funded but the model was was much 2225 01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:12,239 different than than this model that 2226 01:42:12,239 --> 01:42:15,119 we're seeing here as well and if were to 2227 01:42:15,119 --> 01:42:16,639 stand up its own fleet repair 2228 01:42:16,639 --> 01:42:19,679 maintenance shop um it's all a whole new 2229 01:42:19,679 --> 01:42:21,760 ball game and a lot additional headers 2230 01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:24,719 as well, but something that could be 2231 01:42:24,719 --> 01:42:28,400 worth pursuing and could be an 2232 01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:30,639 opportunity to 2233 01:42:30,639 --> 01:42:34,159 continue to reduce costs and and 2234 01:42:34,159 --> 01:42:37,520 minimize the cost as part of 2235 01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:39,440 our fleet management. But we know that 2236 01:42:39,440 --> 01:42:41,760 county fleet we're about a third of 2237 01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:45,040 their entire um business told us that 2238 01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:47,280 we're working on and they actually have 2239 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:49,520 a dual shift shop. So there's morning 2240 01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:51,920 shift and there's an evening shift. That 2241 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:53,600 evening shift is what keeps our trucks 2242 01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:55,840 on the road and minimizes number of 2243 01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,960 trucks that we have a daily basis. So 2244 01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:01,199 there's a lot to consider as part of 2245 01:43:01,199 --> 01:43:04,239 this. Um 2246 01:43:04,239 --> 01:43:05,679 I mean there's definitely sticker shock 2247 01:43:05,679 --> 01:43:08,480 and some of the things that 2248 01:43:08,480 --> 01:43:10,159 brought up 2249 01:43:10,159 --> 01:43:12,320 others that 2250 01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:14,639 is the is the market justifiable in some 2251 01:43:14,639 --> 01:43:18,719 cases and how could we 2252 01:43:18,719 --> 01:43:21,440 help to partner with the county to maybe 2253 01:43:21,440 --> 01:43:23,679 have a better model for some of these 2254 01:43:23,679 --> 01:43:25,199 services especially giving the word 2255 01:43:25,199 --> 01:43:26,239 about 2256 01:43:26,239 --> 01:43:29,119 >> yeah I think it does put us in a good 2257 01:43:29,119 --> 01:43:31,280 position even if ultimately maintaining 2258 01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:37,350 that partnership is the best option 2259 01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:39,520 » I say one other topic if you go to the 2260 01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:42,159 next page um we also looking at our 2261 01:43:42,159 --> 01:43:44,719 county IC services this is one where 2262 01:43:44,719 --> 01:43:46,960 we've identified some cost savings but 2263 01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,199 if you scroll go um into that a little 2264 01:43:49,199 --> 01:43:51,280 bit. Those top two categories. So, 2265 01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:53,840 anytime you have an account with a 2266 01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:56,480 Outlook and Microsoft account, it's 2267 01:43:56,480 --> 01:43:59,119 covering a variety of items. But this 2268 01:43:59,119 --> 01:44:01,119 year, we did see again additional 2269 01:44:01,119 --> 01:44:04,560 increases of their um the user rate from 2270 01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:09,040 about 87 to roughly $103 per user per 2271 01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:11,119 month. These are things we're looking at 2272 01:44:11,119 --> 01:44:13,199 consolidating, trimming back, 2273 01:44:13,199 --> 01:44:15,600 identifying some areas that we don't 2274 01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:17,280 need or how to consolidate some of these 2275 01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:19,119 accounts. But I also went back and 2276 01:44:19,119 --> 01:44:24,159 looked at our original contract with county IT services and the original 2277 01:44:24,159 --> 01:44:26,159 rate for a network access account was 2278 01:44:26,159 --> 01:44:28,560 about like $50, 2279 01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,880 maybe like 568 or something. So it's 2280 01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:33,679 gone up substantially. And so from 2020 2281 01:44:33,679 --> 01:44:35,360 until now, it's been increased about 2282 01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:36,880 80%. 2283 01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,560 So again further basic question um we've 2284 01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:43,360 seen reduction in cost but would look at 2285 01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:46,159 an in-house IT person will help us save 2286 01:44:46,159 --> 01:44:49,040 money with costs. Could we look at a 2287 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,440 third party IT service provider? We do 2288 01:44:51,440 --> 01:44:54,159 lease this building we're under 2289 01:44:54,159 --> 01:44:57,520 ownership in this building as our rents. 2290 01:44:57,520 --> 01:45:00,000 Um but as we look things longer term 2291 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,639 what would make more sense what make 2292 01:45:02,639 --> 01:45:05,600 sense for us to manage these house? We 2293 01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:08,320 pay for our telecom expenses, our phone 2294 01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:10,719 lines, and all of our IT services, 2295 01:45:10,719 --> 01:45:14,480 including our user accounts, our emails, 2296 01:45:14,480 --> 01:45:17,199 um, Adobe PDF accounts, our GIS 2297 01:45:17,199 --> 01:45:19,920 accounts, our Void phone, our customer 2298 01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:23,440 service phones. And so, um, just earlier 2299 01:45:23,440 --> 01:45:25,920 in the PGIs, as I mentioned, it wasn't 2300 01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:27,679 shown on the screen, but it's in the 2301 01:45:27,679 --> 01:45:32,480 PGIs as well, but we're paying about it 2302 01:45:32,480 --> 01:45:34,560 plus phone services. We're currently 2303 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,520 about 17,500. 2304 01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,000 So looking at that cost, would it make 2305 01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:42,560 sense to look at something more inhouse 2306 01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:45,119 or is there a better 2307 01:45:45,119 --> 01:45:48,239 provider too? Again, these are driven 2308 01:45:48,239 --> 01:45:50,719 from everywhere seeing cost. I think 2309 01:45:50,719 --> 01:45:52,560 these departments are larger enterprise 2310 01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:54,719 funded now within the county. So they 2311 01:45:54,719 --> 01:45:57,199 have to cover their entire overhead and 2312 01:45:57,199 --> 01:45:58,719 management cost as well. And then we 2313 01:45:58,719 --> 01:46:01,360 have some IT um professionals in the 2314 01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:04,159 room as well. So kind of curious to see 2315 01:46:04,159 --> 01:46:05,760 what type of feedback or thoughts or 2316 01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:09,199 ideas um that we may want to pursue as 2317 01:46:09,199 --> 01:46:15,040 part of the two um expense items that we're seeing. 2318 01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,600 >> One thing that does stand out to me is 2319 01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:21,199 expenses of both uh environmental fees 2320 01:46:21,199 --> 01:46:25,760 with organizations like the fire which 2321 01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:28,320 have different security requirements you 2322 01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:32,239 do. So you are you are effectively 2323 01:46:32,239 --> 01:46:36,080 getting a small portion of that NHS rate 2324 01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:39,600 of your services to them. Uh a managed 2325 01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:42,000 service provider is a good start where 2326 01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,560 you can hire out a firm that will 2327 01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:46,480 basically charge you for just what you 2328 01:46:46,480 --> 01:46:52,000 need. Uh it does come in a cost. Uh but 2329 01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,480 it it does give you a very good picture 2330 01:46:54,480 --> 01:46:57,600 on what you actually need 2331 01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:00,560 infrastructure wise and then also 2332 01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:04,000 obviously bringing in an internal person 2333 01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:08,639 to manage that and handle a lot of the 2334 01:47:08,639 --> 01:47:11,600 heavy lifting lifting that they charge 2335 01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:15,520 premium for and then person 2336 01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:18,719 uh and it's you know shift that balance 2337 01:47:18,719 --> 01:47:21,679 of workload from the NSP 2338 01:47:21,679 --> 01:47:24,000 uh as you can find the right people to 2339 01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:26,800 fill those roles and can eventually cost 2340 01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,040 you less money. It's kind of like paying 2341 01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:31,040 for a cloud subscription or something. I 2342 01:47:31,040 --> 01:47:32,639 mean those are supposed to be cheaper 2343 01:47:32,639 --> 01:47:35,119 than having your own internal IP that 2344 01:47:35,119 --> 01:47:37,920 you pay $100 a year. 2345 01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:41,440 But the reality is you almost spend more 2346 01:47:41,440 --> 01:47:44,159 services than if you were to do it on 2347 01:47:44,159 --> 01:47:47,280 purpose.
