1
00:00:25,390 --> 00:00:27,230
Okay, was that it?

2
00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:39,930
So I would like to call on, shall we order the regular board meeting in the first place in municipal one in the district? And without we will have the termination for Mr. General Manning?

3
00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:43,450
Yes. Director Scott Hussain?

4
00:00:44,090 --> 00:00:50,330
Yes. Director John Deere, Director Gloria Gray. Director Harold Lambs here.

5
00:00:50,330 --> 00:00:52,470
That's the elements here.

6
00:00:53,090 --> 00:00:53,710
We have a point.

7
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:57,390
And next up, you will have medical agent,

8
00:00:57,790 --> 00:01:00,830
theителей locked in the clinic's body.

9
00:01:01,950 --> 00:01:02,950
Okay, let's go.

10
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:03,930
Michelleici.

11
00:01:05,610 --> 00:01:07,110
Hi, everyone, please stand.

12
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:08,930
Please be steadfast, blood,

13
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:10,690
and drive in over your heart.

14
00:01:11,150 --> 00:01:11,970
Ready to begin.

15
00:01:12,770 --> 00:01:16,170
Gradually, just to apply the anesthetics.

16
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:18,050
And then do it.

17
00:01:18,050 --> 00:01:19,430
What's your name?

18
00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:20,830
One nation.

19
00:01:21,310 --> 00:01:22,050
I'm your god.

20
00:01:22,330 --> 00:01:23,350
Any of this as well.

21
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:24,110
Thank you.

22
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:27,590
Thank you.

23
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:28,170
Thank you.

24
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:34,520
Thank you.

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Your next house is public comments.

26
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:38,740
Mr. Chairman, can you give me a public comment?

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,020
Present hours.

28
00:01:40,180 --> 00:01:42,320
We have not received any requests for public comment.

29
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:45,100
Do this meeting as being held both in person and virtually.

30
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,220
If there's any member of the public, it would like to speak under public comment.

31
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,600
We've let us know by raising your virtual hand.

32
00:01:55,820 --> 00:01:59,100
in the present hour as I do not see any requests for a public comment.

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:05,620
Okay, and then we'll be on the line, and we'll take several presentations today,

34
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:10,880
to the presentation, so the presentation presentation presentation,

35
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,900
what is within S of the piece, and yes, I didn't, I guess, hey, we will do

36
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:20,780
making those presentations to the South-based community coalition against tape.

37
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,240
And we'll have a very interesting presentation. We'll be having a share meeting

38
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,280
They're going to be doing it from their V80 to V80 to V80.

39
00:02:30,340 --> 00:02:34,000
So I don't wish you could have a manager if you'd like to make that an offer.

40
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,740
For those hours, I did notice that we do have some guests from this organization join us today.

41
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,880
I believe I saw Vanessa poster.

42
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,760
And if she wanted to go ahead and introduce the members of her team that are with them,

43
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,700
because they have their board meeting at this time.

44
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:53,760
It's one of our sales.

45
00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:55,850
Well,

46
00:02:58,110 --> 00:02:59,290
I think, I think,

47
00:02:59,450 --> 00:03:00,150
Hildi is also here.

48
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:01,090
Hildi will do that.

49
00:03:02,410 --> 00:03:02,850
Well,

50
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,540
we're going to interact with Grant's join us.

51
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:09,980
Thank you.

52
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,220
Hildi, the unmute is on the top.

53
00:03:15,940 --> 00:03:17,480
Well, we'd like to welcome both of you.

54
00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:19,040
I think the rest of you aboard that birthday,

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,280
I think you can do it.

56
00:03:22,530 --> 00:03:24,410
I'm sorry, I'm having trouble here.

57
00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:25,570
Where are we at? We can hear you.

58
00:03:26,050 --> 00:03:26,450
Okay.

59
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:34,910
So, did you want us to just introduce ourselves and did you want to go ahead with the

60
00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:37,850
proclamation and not show what you are hoping for at this time?

61
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,380
We can do a presentation in the proclamation, but if you like your English, I'm afraid

62
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:50,780
if there's any other board members present or if there's the two of you.

63
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,700
Oh, so thank you for that. We were trying to zoom in from our own meeting

64
00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:10,460
And, unfortunately, we couldn't do it from our meeting, so we have members that are just going to be jumping in here to appreciate the boards entering this population.

65
00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:21,940
I'm trying to look at the list and I see that another member, Sally Peel, is also attending from the coalition addition to Vanessa Poster.

66
00:04:21,940 --> 00:04:27,180
I can't see the whole list so I'm not sure who else has been able to zoom in, but we want

67
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:28,940
to be able to do it from our meeting.

68
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,920
Do I apologize for that?

69
00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:34,420
No problem.

70
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,680
So, I will read the part for Nathan's, and we'll begin with, let's take a look at that part.

71
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,600
The International Day of Peace.

72
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:53,680
We're asked international day of peace under by the youth in Canada, Assembly in 1981,

73
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,880
and it recognized the day to build peace among everyone, both all distinctions.

74
00:04:59,460 --> 00:05:04,320
And we're asked international day of peace celebrates this year's theme of cultivating

75
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,600
a culture of peace, which displays the principles that are essential to a united world,

76
00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:14,780
such as human rights, fundamental freedoms, and a commitment to solidarity that ensures

77
00:05:14,780 --> 00:05:20,600
individuals are accepted at all level of society, and we're as international day of peace

78
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,220
across the 24 hour ceasefire. To reflect on before people have occurred around the world,

79
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:31,980
while using this time to commemorate victims of war that incentivize their lives for our

80
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:37,460
freedoms to make our communities safer. And we're as international day of peace spreads, education

81
00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:43,100
and awareness on issues that have sort of great importance to our world and encourage us people

82
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:48,540
to have more energy rather than enacting out of hate environments, and who are as international

83
00:05:48,540 --> 00:05:53,640
they have peace promotes all nations that live in harmony as one human country to create

84
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:59,700
a society of values that can be shared for appreciated, despite the false political contrast

85
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:07,540
and separator. Now therefore we have played on this 25th day of August 2024, the rest of

86
00:06:07,540 --> 00:06:09,580
was based on municipal water industry,

87
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,340
to provide the international day of peace on September 21, 2021,

88
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:19,400
as an annual acknowledgement of the peace that is present in our world,

89
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,360
and that should be maintained every living day as we strive to address the inequalities

90
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,180
from the United States.

91
00:06:33,390 --> 00:06:44,210
And we have respect for populations, and for the central population, which is

92
00:06:44,210 --> 00:06:53,210
Director, she, she, she's, I'm reading. Okay, well thank you and thank you both for joining us.

93
00:06:53,290 --> 00:06:59,090
And thank you President Alvarez reading the first one. And I think what I say if you

94
00:06:59,090 --> 00:07:04,310
were words about that in a moment, but by the way, just so everybody knows, you know,

95
00:07:04,330 --> 00:07:09,270
Hildi Stern, Nali is the, basically the chair of our South Bay Community Coalition and

96
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:14,570
that she's also a former Manhattan Beach City Council member. And then as the poster serves on

97
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:19,530
a board of the Beach City's health district. And we have a great coalition on part of that as well,

98
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:27,050
of leaders in predominantly our Beach Cities that are focused on issues of hate and discrimination

99
00:07:27,050 --> 00:07:33,470
as well as bring together no activities for the United States hate week. So let me go ahead and read

100
00:07:33,470 --> 00:07:39,870
this proclamation, and there are proclamations being entered into by cities around our South

101
00:07:39,870 --> 00:07:46,530
Bay in the next couple of weeks, but here we go, United Against Hate Week, September 21,

102
00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:52,710
to 27, 2024. Whereas, United Against Hate Week started from a campaign that was made

103
00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:58,150
by 13 communities in the Bay area, in response to the numerous whites of premises rallies

104
00:07:58,150 --> 00:08:05,310
held in San Francisco and Berkeley during 2017. And whereas United Against Hate Week was created

105
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:11,030
to stop hate crimes and communities across the US, and inspires residents to take a stand against

106
00:08:11,030 --> 00:08:17,150
the dangers in their own towns. And whereas United Against Hate Week educates participants

107
00:08:17,150 --> 00:08:22,930
on the effects of implicit bias for them to identify and report hate crimes that further push

108
00:08:22,930 --> 00:08:28,590
violence into communities while driving a way of peace and a society, and where as United

109
00:08:28,590 --> 00:08:35,370
against hate-week acknowledges other anti-hate movements, such as not in our town, as is shared

110
00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:40,710
effort to raise awareness about the week's mission, while building partnership. And where

111
00:08:40,710 --> 00:08:46,970
as United against hate-week invites LGBTQ plus members and allies, faith-based groups, and human

112
00:08:46,970 --> 00:08:51,990
rights organizations to participate in events, the spread the word about standing up to

113
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:59,590
a dream, and to prevent crime. Now, therefore, via proclaiming on this 26th August, 24th,

114
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:04,230
that we, the Board of Directors of West Facements of Water District, hereby joining and observing

115
00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:12,830
United Against Hate Week from September 21, year 27, 2024, and support the call to action to

116
00:09:12,830 --> 00:09:18,910
end the cycle of hatred throughout our communities, and instead become United despite our difference.

117
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:28,060
I don't know if that either of you would like to make any comments?

118
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,400
Well, I would.

119
00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:36,900
I'm so grateful to the water court district for for entering these

120
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:41,940
valuations and for recognizing how important it is for all of us as leaders and

121
00:09:41,940 --> 00:09:46,740
for having this broad community that you represent to stand up and make a

122
00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:50,940
statement about how you are supporting your communities especially in this

123
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:58,100
important way, you know, that the coalition started in 2022 and at that time we only have 15 members.

124
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:07,280
We have since grown in our leadership to over 60 members and I'm so grateful to Director Houston

125
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:14,560
for being such an important and active participant in our coalition. He's brought so much compassion

126
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:22,280
and a wonderful energy and bringing the whole water-based in this community to our coalition

127
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:29,340
has really made such a difference. So I really am grateful to WestBase and Water District

128
00:10:29,340 --> 00:10:36,280
and to Scott in particular to Director Houston in particular for being such an impactful voice

129
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:43,740
and a sense of energy and support to our work because our work unfortunately doesn't end,

130
00:10:43,740 --> 00:11:00,060
But it does make the lives of our community members more secure and hopefully better as we do try to combat the terrible frightful and unacceptable cycle of hate that we know is has no borders, but certainly has

131
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,740
has a voice and has care from our members. So thank you so much from the water district.

132
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:12,560
So, thank you. Thanks for your congratulations. We congratulate you on building the membership.

133
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,860
The public community against hate.

134
00:11:17,860 --> 00:11:20,980
I'm going to be starting out with 40 members. You said you're over 16 hours.

135
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,740
That's pretty impressive. I'm sure if you're communicating with a very important topic.

136
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:29,440
We'll do them in a very intense time. We all need to seek out with them.

137
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:32,960
And turn down the heat. And we can see themselves a lot.

138
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,280
And then the other point that I'm going to say to you, can you take any comments?

139
00:11:38,140 --> 00:11:40,980
I would Director Harold Williams here.

140
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:48,860
I would just like to thank my colleague, Director Houston, for being so involved in bringing

141
00:11:48,860 --> 00:11:53,380
this forward, and I support it 100%.

142
00:11:55,340 --> 00:11:56,040
Do you agree?

143
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,400
Do you agree?

144
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,380
Do you have any comment?

145
00:12:01,770 --> 00:12:02,330
What was that?

146
00:12:02,390 --> 00:12:02,770
Thank you.

147
00:12:03,410 --> 00:12:05,570
If you think you want to make traditional comments?

148
00:12:06,290 --> 00:12:09,330
If you don't mind just for one sec, thank you, Mr. Chair.

149
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:15,870
I just, I want to echo what Hildi said, she alluded to it, I believe, but, you know, we

150
00:12:15,870 --> 00:12:22,830
are very big and diverse, geographic areas, 17 cities, almost a million residents, all

151
00:12:22,830 --> 00:12:30,750
manner of ethnic groups, and people that just span the spectrum in our cities we serve, and I also

152
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:35,890
think our board of course reflects that. And I'm really glad that our board is usually pretty

153
00:12:35,890 --> 00:12:40,630
forthright when it comes to how we feel about these type of issues and I know some people think

154
00:12:40,630 --> 00:12:44,990
why should we take a position, but I think as as public agencies and public servants we should.

155
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:50,710
And thankfully we do have the county which does a lot of good work on our behalf as well as a number

156
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:56,070
of our citizens. And some of them do more and some do last and some of them are struggling. But

157
00:12:56,070 --> 00:12:58,590
Fortunately, especially in the beach cities

158
00:12:58,590 --> 00:12:59,770
and that doesn't include El Segando.

159
00:12:59,810 --> 00:13:00,650
It's a beach city.

160
00:13:00,770 --> 00:13:02,350
A lot of people forget that.

161
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:05,350
But we have really good elected officials

162
00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:07,130
in our city leadership.

163
00:13:07,390 --> 00:13:11,370
They're also committed to taking a stand against these kind

164
00:13:11,370 --> 00:13:11,710
of things.

165
00:13:12,070 --> 00:13:15,330
And just because some of our staff live in the South Bay

166
00:13:15,330 --> 00:13:16,330
some do not.

167
00:13:16,890 --> 00:13:18,590
But we view on poor, jam and number of incidents,

168
00:13:18,750 --> 00:13:20,230
whether it's anti-Semitic incidents

169
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:23,030
that have been going on or it's anti-LGBTQ.

170
00:13:23,090 --> 00:13:25,110
Plus incidents, things are happening.

171
00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:32,150
And so it's incumbent on each of us to one stand up to it to bring attention to it and three to our part.

172
00:13:32,490 --> 00:13:35,950
And so last but not least, and that's why these two things are very important.

173
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:39,950
The United Against Hate Week this year is September 21 through 27,

174
00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:46,410
and it celebrated around the state and, honestly, part to the United States, but certainly in California.

175
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:54,250
So, ironically, International Day of Peace happens the fall on the first day of the United Against Hate Week.

176
00:13:54,250 --> 00:14:00,130
international day of peace it is recognized around the world and that's through the U.N. and

177
00:14:00,130 --> 00:14:06,430
people will be gathering that day at peace polls across the world but in the region and so in

178
00:14:06,430 --> 00:14:11,390
the South Bay we'll have a number of peace polls at some of our cities and school districts

179
00:14:11,390 --> 00:14:16,650
popping around noon that day and they'll be some advertising going out as well as the beach

180
00:14:16,650 --> 00:14:21,230
city's health district has a peaceful they'll be gathering so people can have an opportunity just

181
00:14:21,230 --> 00:14:28,270
gather and have some moments of reflection. And then the other thing is during September 21-27,

182
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:35,050
we've got a series of events that will be happening in different communities that are designed

183
00:14:35,050 --> 00:14:40,790
to bring people together and address certain issues. As well as, for example, a candlelight vigil

184
00:14:41,810 --> 00:14:47,150
on the Thursday night, and also a gun, though, as an example. So again, a lot of information

185
00:14:47,150 --> 00:14:52,030
going out and the easy readers had some ads and I just want to say thank you to our coalition.

186
00:14:52,390 --> 00:14:58,310
It's a great coalition, but we are also looking to continue growing and be bigger and broader in the

187
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:59,970
South Bay. So with them.

188
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:09,000
Again, thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to Hillby and Vanessa and the others, we're able to join us. The meetings are simultaneous today.

189
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:17,940
But we do appreciate it. And, you know, I'm certainly here to support, but I think you could, you can count on the West Basin Water District to help do our part two.

190
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:25,140
Thank you. And would you, you know, if you'd like to have any closing comments,

191
00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:30,190
we'll thank you so much for joining us today.

192
00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:31,850
Thank you.

193
00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:40,950
Okay. Next item up is items too late to be added to dice. I don't believe we have any.

194
00:15:41,610 --> 00:15:45,910
Can you skip something? Yes. We do have one more presentation side of 5C.

195
00:15:46,950 --> 00:15:47,870
Oh, sorry, did.

196
00:15:51,630 --> 00:15:54,250
Go ahead, Mr. General, and we'd be delighted.

197
00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:55,990
This is really great.

198
00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:58,830
Yes, thank you very much President Alvarez.

199
00:15:59,650 --> 00:16:03,530
As you all know, West Basin was contacted by a once-in-jade Whitman,

200
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:04,810
from Woodard and Current.

201
00:16:04,810 --> 00:16:07,730
She serves as the vice president and senior client manager.

202
00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:10,750
She is joining us today with her colleagues,

203
00:16:10,990 --> 00:16:14,030
and I'll do a quick introduction.

204
00:16:14,630 --> 00:16:17,390
We do have Allison Watson, the Chief Executive Officer.

205
00:16:17,830 --> 00:16:21,250
We have Jay Sheenham, an O&M National Business Development Leader.

206
00:16:21,250 --> 00:16:29,210
We have Anthony, I'm going to mispronounce, but knock a rotto on any client manager and David

207
00:16:29,210 --> 00:16:33,170
Civilman, the Chief Executive Officer, 20 years.

208
00:16:33,490 --> 00:16:35,890
And so with that, I'm happy to turn it over to Eliza Jane.

209
00:16:37,050 --> 00:16:37,570
Thank you.

210
00:16:39,010 --> 00:16:40,670
We're very pleased to be here.

211
00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:49,530
Thank you very much for inviting us to participate and introduce our team and some of the folks that are going to be presenting here today.

212
00:16:49,530 --> 00:16:54,970
already introduced them, so I won't repeat that, but they're seated here in the back and we're

213
00:16:54,970 --> 00:17:01,450
all very pleased to be here. I just want to confirm we've got 15 minutes. Is that right,

214
00:17:02,010 --> 00:17:06,470
believe? And then, obviously, Q&A, afterwards, if there's any questions at the board, how is

215
00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:19,410
of us? We next slide, please. And actually, maybe two slides. So I am fortunate back in 1996.

216
00:17:19,410 --> 00:17:29,310
I was the project engineer for West Basin's Phase 2 for my filtration and reverse osmosis on the design build project.

217
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:34,850
So I was very much a junior engineer, but had that opportunity.

218
00:17:35,550 --> 00:17:39,910
And I've always been tracking West Basin ever since, just because it's such an innovative

219
00:17:39,910 --> 00:17:48,590
and head of the curve organizations as well as technology focused in a leader, obviously, and

220
00:17:48,590 --> 00:17:54,450
the water industry. But I wanted to make sure that everybody knew about what it incurred,

221
00:17:54,450 --> 00:18:02,210
because we too are innovative, focused on technology. But one of the other things is really thinking

222
00:18:02,210 --> 00:18:07,670
about partnerships and wanting to make a difference in the community, and you're going to hear

223
00:18:07,670 --> 00:18:12,250
from our CEO as it relates to what we do as a company,

224
00:18:12,450 --> 00:18:15,390
which I think does differentiate us.

225
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:18,590
Yes, we're known for planning and engineering

226
00:18:18,590 --> 00:18:21,450
in modern wastewater, but we have this other aspect

227
00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:24,950
to us that is very important and kind of a key component

228
00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:26,110
of who we are.

229
00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:29,030
And one of the things that you're going to hear about

230
00:18:29,030 --> 00:18:32,010
are some of the long-term relationship and clients

231
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:36,750
that we have, and that is part of who we are in our DNA.

232
00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:44,210
So with that, I'd like to turn it over to Jay, who's going to talk more who is focused on our O&M.

233
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:45,010
Thank you.

234
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:47,920
Perfect.

235
00:18:49,780 --> 00:18:51,560
So I'm Jay Shean, as a reminder.

236
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:56,520
I'm a fresh, fresh engineer as well as a licensed operate.

237
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:02,520
So that's what's being a position of being in both sides of the table.

238
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,080
You might all be familiar with our engineering work,

239
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,500
but you're probably not familiar with our operations as much because we've had that 20-year relationship

240
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:18,220
on the engineering and planning side. Next slide. So we're going to go through a few things for you

241
00:19:18,220 --> 00:19:23,940
and we organize the presentation along with your strategic goals. So the 5G to goals that was

242
00:19:23,940 --> 00:19:32,000
based and has laid out, we want to kind of go through some key ways we can help you with your

243
00:19:38,770 --> 00:19:48,790
So we have a bunch of ways that we think we can help with that.

244
00:19:49,170 --> 00:19:51,390
Virtual is a watershed that's run by the sea.

245
00:19:53,570 --> 00:19:57,710
And this was our first title to point to project that we deliver

246
00:19:57,710 --> 00:20:00,490
as a design bill to operate back in 2010.

247
00:20:01,430 --> 00:20:03,770
And we've been running it ever since with multiple upgrades and

248
00:20:03,770 --> 00:20:04,330
expansions.

249
00:20:05,150 --> 00:20:09,750
Some of the less is learned from Victorville that applied a West base and we really

250
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:11,430
baby the membranes.

251
00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:17,570
But that does is we're able to get more life out of those than the manufacturer

252
00:20:17,570 --> 00:20:20,030
even says that you can.

253
00:20:20,770 --> 00:20:25,770
And the first set we got two extra years which the first capital expenses of the amount of

254
00:20:25,770 --> 00:20:26,890
$750,000.

255
00:20:27,050 --> 00:20:31,670
So it's two extra years represented a lot of extra time.

256
00:20:31,670 --> 00:20:39,530
We also coordinate closely with our discharges, so the industrial discharges, et cetera,

257
00:20:40,110 --> 00:20:46,010
and we use real-time monitoring and the results of that are that we've had no out-of-spec

258
00:20:46,010 --> 00:20:52,470
water go to those recycled water, recycled water users over that 15 years, so we just

259
00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:54,170
really keep an eye on water quality.

260
00:20:54,170 --> 00:20:59,030
So that aligns with your goal, what I want, the same way.

261
00:21:00,910 --> 00:21:04,450
Your second goal, strategic goal is about financial success.

262
00:21:05,130 --> 00:21:05,950
Next slide, I'm sorry.

263
00:21:07,210 --> 00:21:11,550
And financial success is something we focus on greatly.

264
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:15,790
And there's a whole bunch of things these five balls

265
00:21:16,330 --> 00:21:19,330
that we will go through kind of one by one

266
00:21:19,330 --> 00:21:21,990
and show you how that adds to financial success.

267
00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:23,470
Next slide.

268
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:31,900
So the first is just starts with the contract. Open book counting means that

269
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:36,820
your only charge was suspended. We prefer this contracting model. We find that it creates

270
00:21:36,820 --> 00:21:42,240
a long-term vested partnership because it's completely transparent. Anytime you want

271
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:48,480
to look at books, they're open to you to look at. But that also means that if we reduce

272
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:54,680
staffing chemicals, power, anything, all that savings gets passed back back on to you.

273
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,500
And that's pretty fun for our clients.

274
00:21:57,940 --> 00:22:01,140
We set a budget at the end of the year sometimes we write them a check.

275
00:22:01,820 --> 00:22:06,160
So we literally, if we're under budget, we write a check for that when we square up.

276
00:22:07,420 --> 00:22:08,700
We also strive to optimize.

277
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,600
That was another key thing is optimization.

278
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:15,480
Our optimization team will essentially live at your project during the start-up

279
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,660
and return annually to find savings.

280
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:21,260
In the first three years of one of our projects at San Antonio,

281
00:22:22,060 --> 00:22:24,460
this represents about $200,000 per year

282
00:22:24,460 --> 00:22:26,600
that we were under budget.

283
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:30,480
And again, that was a time where we would

284
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,440
reject $200,000 a year.

285
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,300
Technology plays a critical role

286
00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:37,800
and optimizing in savings.

287
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:40,980
We're piloting technology at a Massachusetts project

288
00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:45,120
where we expect to save about $350,000 a year,

289
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:52,880
by using a physical mixing system, and that will take away this $350,000 chemical expense

290
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:58,520
replace it with a $100,000 capital expense and pay back immediately. So that could represent

291
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:05,620
up to, you know, multiple million dollars over a 10 year period. We already have some ideas on

292
00:23:05,620 --> 00:23:10,160
technologies, we've talked to staff a little bit about that, so we think we can bring some things to

293
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:19,160
We also have a financial solutions team and what the fiscal solutions team does is look for grants.

294
00:23:20,060 --> 00:23:22,100
Look at rates, really keep an eye on finances.

295
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,360
We know you do that yourself, but we're your backstop.

296
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:33,300
Our fiscal solutions team has already raised $1.1 billion for our clients nationwide here today.

297
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:40,180
So, essentially, you want to say race, captured either grants or loans or whatever, but we're

298
00:23:40,180 --> 00:23:43,760
we're extension of your staff looking for those economic opportunities.

299
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,700
And then asset management is also a really critical item.

300
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:57,080
Acid management is has the ability if done well to save about 40% of

301
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,800
products, allowing extended life assets.

302
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:03,980
And I mentioned setting a life of membrane in Victorville.

303
00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:04,840
We've also done that.

304
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:10,380
We have a Reclamation Project or a Recycle Water Project in Connecticut, where we've

305
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:15,000
extended the life of the Paul membranes, the different membrane system.

306
00:24:15,740 --> 00:24:17,540
They have expected life of seven years.

307
00:24:18,060 --> 00:24:19,960
We've gone 11 years on that same system.

308
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,140
They're operating perfectly.

309
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,180
Still, every year is about 100,000 plus of the fur capital.

310
00:24:27,380 --> 00:24:29,600
So we're at 400,000 counties.

311
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Next slide.

312
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:39,940
So another thing, go to the next slide,

313
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:42,720
actually.

314
00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:44,080
Oh, sorry.

315
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,420
I won't want you far.

316
00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:47,600
Okay, sorry.

317
00:24:48,580 --> 00:24:52,540
So our operations success is also based on being

318
00:24:52,540 --> 00:24:53,680
of the staff of the project.

319
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,980
With the Silver Sonami, with the workforce challenges

320
00:24:57,980 --> 00:25:05,400
that operations has, that it's hard-finding operators, we have had some pretty tremendous success

321
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,220
filling vacancies.

322
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,440
I've been a little bit concerned for 26 years, we tend to have people with a long time

323
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,240
in the firm, and it's because we treat our people right.

324
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:21,060
So our time to fill position is about 30 to 35 days for an operator where the industry

325
00:25:21,060 --> 00:25:22,840
time is about 64 days.

326
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:27,820
The turnover rate for the industry is about 16 to 18 percent, and at what are in the current

327
00:25:27,820 --> 00:25:29,380
we're in single digits every year.

328
00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:36,500
So these are ways that we can help fill these roles that was based in and keep you staff

329
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:37,700
and functional.

330
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,800
We also have a shooting partnership.

331
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:43,880
We mentioned that David Zoblensier, who is the CEO from Operational Technical Solutions,

332
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,740
OTS.

333
00:25:44,740 --> 00:25:49,740
David has 173 active operator licenses in the

334
00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:52,540
LA area alone, class 3 and above.

335
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,800
So as a partner, he can help us quickly fill positions

336
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,640
in less than that 30 days.

337
00:26:01,730 --> 00:26:02,430
Next slide.

338
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,840
So, physical over 3 from the basin is providing

339
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,400
high quality water to your customers.

340
00:26:12,180 --> 00:26:14,120
And that's one of our top priorities.

341
00:26:15,340 --> 00:26:17,780
We do that by making sure our staff is trained.

342
00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:22,620
health and safety, technical areas, managerial areas.

343
00:26:23,580 --> 00:26:28,800
We have a training program that we roll out to all plants nationwide, this year includes

344
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:36,880
PFAS, Asimansman, Capital Planning, Interobic Digestion, Process and many more.

345
00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:45,020
Another thing we do is we set up a different operation scenarios based on the water quality

346
00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:52,120
coming from our force, so we work with my period to find out what the different scenarios are,

347
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:59,260
and then as you see the water coming in, we can shift to a different operation. We did this

348
00:26:59,260 --> 00:27:05,060
successfully in Illinois with one of the industrial manufacturers that brings in food waste,

349
00:27:05,340 --> 00:27:11,660
as a major discharge, so that makes high BOD highly, highly, very infant, and this makes for

350
00:27:11,660 --> 00:27:15,000
better operators because they're knowledgeable and it makes for a better operation.

351
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,040
And the last one, before I turn it over to Allison, next slide,

352
00:27:25,490 --> 00:27:27,510
is everything starts with customer

353
00:27:27,510 --> 00:27:35,210
service and everything and which is strategic goal number four. We want to boost that for you.

354
00:27:35,450 --> 00:27:41,470
Some ways we'll do that is, you can see on the right, we created a snap communication plan.

355
00:27:41,470 --> 00:27:46,530
That's talking about the frequency and the different audience that we're trying to get to.

356
00:27:46,570 --> 00:27:50,230
Sometimes the audience is this board, sometimes the audience of the management team.

357
00:27:50,450 --> 00:27:51,910
Sometimes the audience is the public.

358
00:27:52,410 --> 00:27:53,510
It could be the schools.

359
00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:58,310
It could be part of the STEM efforts that you're doing in the community.

360
00:27:58,990 --> 00:28:04,190
And we want to create a communications plan with you that meets the utility.

361
00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:10,730
And then we'll revisit this on an annual basis and we'll update it and tweak it and make sure that we're doing it.

362
00:28:10,730 --> 00:28:16,650
doing everything that you're looking for, communicating internally and externally. We also employ

363
00:28:17,410 --> 00:28:22,590
community communications experts that can work on social media and other things that came from

364
00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:28,790
the public sector. They don't have to do that. And without sort of announcement.

365
00:28:30,650 --> 00:28:36,130
Good, next slide, please. I'm Allison Watson. I'm Woodard and current CEO and I'm girl to be here.

366
00:28:36,250 --> 00:28:40,310
So thanks for grabbing us. I'd like to say just a couple words about your strategic goal.

367
00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:42,430
Number five, which is environmental sustainability,

368
00:28:42,750 --> 00:28:45,470
and the alignment with what it incurrents mission and vision.

369
00:28:45,970 --> 00:28:47,110
Our mission is on the screen.

370
00:28:47,290 --> 00:28:49,050
You don't have to read all of it, you can.

371
00:28:49,330 --> 00:28:50,650
But there are three main components.

372
00:28:51,050 --> 00:28:52,770
It starts with a commitment to our employees,

373
00:28:53,490 --> 00:28:55,070
the middle is a commitment to our clients.

374
00:28:55,570 --> 00:28:57,510
And the last item, and you can see in bold,

375
00:28:57,650 --> 00:28:58,910
is our commitment to the environment,

376
00:28:59,010 --> 00:29:00,950
and holding the environment in a regard higher

377
00:29:00,950 --> 00:29:02,270
than any other considerations.

378
00:29:02,430 --> 00:29:05,210
And that's an mission that we actually live by.

379
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:07,250
Similarly, our vision is very simple.

380
00:29:07,590 --> 00:29:10,030
Clean water, safe environment, healthy communities,

381
00:29:10,030 --> 00:29:14,170
and happy people. So that's what drives our people and that's what drives our organization.

382
00:29:14,970 --> 00:29:21,010
Next slide. And I think it's most easily seen in the Woodard and Current Foundation. So the Woodard

383
00:29:21,010 --> 00:29:27,470
and Current Foundation is a 501 C3 organization that was founded in 2010 by our employees. It's fully

384
00:29:27,470 --> 00:29:34,090
staffed and funded by our employees. And as of today, we distributed more than a million dollars

385
00:29:34,090 --> 00:29:41,290
in grants for water and environment programs globally, including here in 2017 and LA, you can see

386
00:29:41,290 --> 00:29:46,310
the grant recipient was the LA community tech incubator with a conservation focus program. So

387
00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:50,670
very in line with what we're all about, and we really like the alignment with your strategic

388
00:29:50,670 --> 00:29:59,250
objective number five. Next time. So hopefully by now you have some sense for our understanding of your

389
00:29:59,250 --> 00:29:59,970
How we-

390
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,280
We would strive to meet your goals and we really do think that our partnership with OTS to help with staffing considerations, our fiscal solutions to help with funding and financing, as well as our partnership approach.

391
00:30:11,820 --> 00:30:22,240
Speak for itself. But before we close, I wanted to give a couple more examples of similar scope and size projects that we do. Again, you may be more familiar with our engineering team. Next slide.

392
00:30:22,780 --> 00:30:27,720
So first I wanted to touch upon water concert, which is one of the largest beneficial

393
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,720
reuse programs in the world located in Florida that we've been operating for about 30

394
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:38,620
years now. So as you well know, when you operate a project for that length of time, you

395
00:30:38,620 --> 00:30:43,100
see a lot of turnover. And over the time that we've been operating in the facility, the staff

396
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:48,900
has reduced from 35 down to 18 and that's their efficiencies. So we've worked hard over the years

397
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:52,200
to help the organization to get as efficient as possible

398
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,040
so that we haven't had to replace people.

399
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:56,620
So our approach is not to come in and cut staff.

400
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,580
It's really to try over time

401
00:30:58,580 --> 00:31:00,580
to create efficiency for the organization.

402
00:31:01,420 --> 00:31:04,200
And with the turnover and particular retirements,

403
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,660
as you're also well aware,

404
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,700
there's the danger of losing that intellectual property

405
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:10,500
and that understanding of the system.

406
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,660
So we've implemented a really interesting and novel AI

407
00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:16,200
and machine learning effort at water conserve

408
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,420
to help to automate some of that knowledge

409
00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:21,920
as it walks out the door to help with those staff transitions over time.

410
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:27,940
We've also worked with the staff to identify use for a land that was previously not being used

411
00:31:27,940 --> 00:31:32,480
to develop an alternate source of revenue for water conserved.

412
00:31:32,740 --> 00:31:33,600
Next slide.

413
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,360
Another example is Boston Water and Seward Commission,

414
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:44,600
where we operate a 320 MGD facility. We've been operating that for almost 25 years.

415
00:31:44,940 --> 00:31:50,060
This is in a portion of South Boston that used to frequently suffer from expensive and

416
00:31:50,060 --> 00:31:54,000
I'm constantly overflows, and in the time that we've been operating at the facility, they've

417
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,200
had zero overflows, so really solid track record.

418
00:31:57,740 --> 00:32:02,740
And in closing, next slide, thank you.

419
00:32:02,940 --> 00:32:06,760
Does anybody know John Sullivan, the chief engineer at Boston Water and Seward?

420
00:32:06,820 --> 00:32:11,040
I like this quote from John, and this was back when he selected what it incurred.

421
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,860
So about 25 years ago, but he said they chose us over other firms for two reasons.

422
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,840
First, they believed we could do it.

423
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,520
But second, they knew that they would be our highest priority because we couldn't afford to fail.

424
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,340
And I want to touch on that first, second, because there's something that is different about

425
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:30,220
what you're doing in current that you may or may not be aware of. When you think of the other

426
00:32:30,220 --> 00:32:35,140
organizations that you're probably going to hear from the violias, Suez, in from Art,

427
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:41,240
Jacob's, Kirk, they're all investor-owned. They're all either publicly traded or they're owned by

428
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:46,420
outside investors. And those outside investors have one objective, and that is to turn the greatest

429
00:32:46,420 --> 00:32:49,680
profit possible on the backs of your rate payers.

430
00:32:49,940 --> 00:32:51,600
What are doing her and is employee owned?

431
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:54,080
All of our owners work for the company.

432
00:32:54,380 --> 00:32:56,960
And we are all focused on our mission and our vision.

433
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,400
And we approach clients as partners and projects

434
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,080
as opportunities to partner with you

435
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,940
and to bring those benefits to the communities

436
00:33:04,940 --> 00:33:07,040
where we also live and work.

437
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:07,980
Next slide.

438
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,420
So in closing, the goals and objectives

439
00:33:12,420 --> 00:33:15,520
that your strategic plan will be adopted as our own

440
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,880
to refer to and really do appreciate the time today.

441
00:33:19,340 --> 00:33:21,300
We look forward to hopefully having the opportunity

442
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:23,880
to be a partner to you and the long term,

443
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,380
and to work as a team, as a team together,

444
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:29,040
to bring those benefits to the communities that you serve.

445
00:33:29,380 --> 00:33:30,740
Thank you so much.

446
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,060
And if there's time, we'd be happy to answer any questions

447
00:33:33,060 --> 00:33:33,700
that you have.

448
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:34,740
Thank you.

449
00:33:35,220 --> 00:33:36,240
Any questions?

450
00:33:36,980 --> 00:33:37,100
Any questions?

451
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,620
No, not at the time, thank you.

452
00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:43,760
If you have a question, I didn't hear this.

453
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,640
And where are you all based out of?

454
00:33:45,860 --> 00:33:46,640
That's a great question.

455
00:33:47,540 --> 00:33:49,700
Our headquarters are important in the name,

456
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:52,960
but we operate out of 27 offices nationwide.

457
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,360
I personally am based on the emergency scope.

458
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:56,960
Sure?

459
00:33:59,540 --> 00:33:59,700
Thank you.

460
00:33:59,740 --> 00:34:00,520
I'm on San Francisco.

461
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:03,280
Thank you, great.

462
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,100
Go ahead.

463
00:34:05,540 --> 00:34:05,780
Thank you.

464
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,360
No, I don't have any questions.

465
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:08,400
Oh, I do.

466
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,300
I think I missed the name of the company.

467
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,800
What's the name of your company again?

468
00:34:13,780 --> 00:34:21,800
What are the current, what are the current, again, I'm sorry, what are the current and current.

469
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,660
All right, thank you very much, thank you for the presentation.

470
00:34:24,780 --> 00:34:25,160
Welcome.

471
00:34:28,830 --> 00:34:30,130
There's a little additional questions.

472
00:34:30,170 --> 00:34:31,090
I don't have any questions.

473
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:33,110
Thank you very much for the presentation.

474
00:34:34,470 --> 00:34:37,170
And we've learned a little bit more about what are the current.

475
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:38,750
So thank you.

476
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:40,030
I have any questions to ask.

477
00:34:40,330 --> 00:34:41,490
Feel free to add.

478
00:34:42,270 --> 00:34:43,110
Other worries.

479
00:34:43,110 --> 00:34:45,110
Do you dare to click out?

480
00:34:46,390 --> 00:34:47,170
Ten, ten, ten.

481
00:34:47,970 --> 00:34:50,230
All right, thank you so much, until you're afternoon.

482
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,080
Yeah, we will move on and the other...

483
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,140
As late I guess, but other.

484
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:04,180
Go on.

485
00:35:05,260 --> 00:35:07,840
And so, move on, and then you can take shower in there.

486
00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:13,420
If you don't want to move anything, you can change shower in the pilot,

487
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,160
and then we'll go to the ocean to see if you can take shower in there.

488
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:23,780
So, second, you have a motion in the second, so let's take a vote.

489
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,620
Lecture Scott Houston, yes.

490
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,400
Lecture John Deer, yes.

491
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,160
Lecture Gloria Gray.

492
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,400
Lecture Carol Williams, yes.

493
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:35,940
President does the Alvarez.

494
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:37,700
Yes, but there's no motion.

495
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:44,270
Just to confirm that was out in seven.

496
00:35:44,270 --> 00:35:47,190
see as in 70 days in dog.

497
00:35:50,220 --> 00:35:56,460
And we're monitoring the action sound. And the first idea,

498
00:35:57,020 --> 00:36:02,300
that was generally the eye-hombed committee. And I'm going to go ahead and introduce this item.

499
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,060
This item is, unfortunately, in the books, we're going to review that, how we're

500
00:36:08,060 --> 00:36:23,360
I want you to look at issues associated with the building and early July, I have finished

501
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:30,040
investigating special issues and pushed it down, issue in the past, kind of left it pending

502
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:36,660
and it's probably time to revisit this issue, so I would like to get the board to prove all

503
00:36:36,660 --> 00:36:42,100
how committing my intention is to be able to point direction gray in myself on the

504
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:49,020
how committing and that we will then look forward and look at all of these

505
00:36:49,020 --> 00:36:52,520
associated with our district office.

506
00:36:56,140 --> 00:36:57,980
And that includes if we need to retain any

507
00:36:57,980 --> 00:37:01,360
special concerns, we'll do so under the general manager for this morning, it's

508
00:37:04,340 --> 00:37:06,200
So, do any questions?

509
00:37:09,940 --> 00:37:10,320
Yeah.

510
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:17,580
I guess what I'd like to know is what's the timeline that you expect with this ad hoc community,

511
00:37:17,780 --> 00:37:24,700
because obviously we've been talking about this for a while and we've usually done it as a board,

512
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,240
but you're looking at it as an ad hoc.

513
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:31,020
So, you know, can you explain that more to us, please?

514
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,620
Yeah, thank you for the question.

515
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,760
We haven't investigated in the past in the Senate.

516
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,520
Always move forward and start.

517
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,660
I mean, any conclusion on the intent of the African community

518
00:37:44,660 --> 00:37:47,980
is that within the next 6 to 9 months,

519
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:53,860
I don't want this to be an extended long-term drag-out process

520
00:37:53,860 --> 00:37:58,580
that we will investigate various actions, bring them back to the boards or to the

521
00:37:58,580 --> 00:37:59,020
consideration.

522
00:37:59,620 --> 00:38:06,360
And it surprised that an entity would more public have one or two or more special meetings

523
00:38:07,780 --> 00:38:12,260
where they may be either a little too weak or over a weekend.

524
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,580
We have more focused discussions in some of the issues that we've identified than a flush

525
00:38:17,580 --> 00:38:19,180
down for the check-in by the board.

526
00:38:22,020 --> 00:38:26,700
Well, with that, I'm okay with that, and I'll move the item.

527
00:38:27,780 --> 00:38:28,960
Can I say any?

528
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:29,600
Second.

529
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:30,980
All right.

530
00:38:31,260 --> 00:38:32,300
Can you take a vote?

531
00:38:33,140 --> 00:38:34,100
Director Scott Houston.

532
00:38:35,180 --> 00:38:36,160
Director Don Deer.

533
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:36,580
Yes.

534
00:38:36,980 --> 00:38:38,120
Director Boris Rae.

535
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:39,960
Yes.

536
00:38:41,180 --> 00:38:42,220
Director Hel Blames.

537
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:42,700
Yes.

538
00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:44,400
President does the alverts.

539
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,640
I have an insight in the consideration.

540
00:38:50,780 --> 00:38:51,860
I'm excited for meeting.

541
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,300
Good morning.

542
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,900
Thank you very much for now.

543
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:57,600
Where's this item?

544
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,080
Does it begin on Pack of Page 154?

545
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,560
And for this presentation, we do have a case of ASCCHAS.

546
00:39:04,580 --> 00:39:07,500
They get up and you can press it and I'll read this in theices of board.

547
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,260
If I can turn your attention into Pack of Page 154.

548
00:39:11,260 --> 00:39:14,920
So as per the administrative code, if the evidence committee needs to kindly

549
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,800
on the first Monday and October. This year, the Advice Committee is scheduled to meet on Monday

550
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:26,080
October 7th. However, that currently coincides with the annual website conference. As you know,

551
00:39:26,180 --> 00:39:30,400
the website conference is an annual conference that offers education, training, and networking

552
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:36,120
opportunities, focus on wastewater and water quality, several of our board members attend that every

553
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:42,320
year. And so you're bringing this item forward to you today to for your consideration on rescheduling

554
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,120
standing of its committee meeting prompts the currently scheduled Monday up to

555
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:52,060
Res7 to Monday up to over 14th had 12 o'clock. So with that, I will read

556
00:39:52,060 --> 00:39:58,120
presentation on I get page 1555 that the Board consider rescheduling the

557
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,900
Standing Ethics Committee meeting scheduled for Monday up to over 7, 20, 24,

558
00:40:02,780 --> 00:40:07,120
Monday up to over 14, 20, 24 at 12 p.m. With that I'm happy answering.

559
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:12,620
It will thank you and it does have a quick lecture this year so I'm going to focus to be

560
00:40:12,620 --> 00:40:16,240
catering to colleagues for many of the four members.

561
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,160
Can we have a motion?

562
00:40:21,380 --> 00:40:23,440
Can you remind us who's on the ethics committee?

563
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:30,000
I think we have director Deer as the chair yourself as the member and President Alters.

564
00:40:31,260 --> 00:40:31,480
Great.

565
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:40,460
and also the 14th is Lumbus Day or James on the people day, I think, but I think we're open

566
00:40:40,460 --> 00:40:43,940
this year on the Forza. Correct? I don't think so.

567
00:40:46,100 --> 00:41:01,460
So with that, I'm located in the

568
00:41:01,460 --> 00:41:03,040
Yes, director, Greg.

569
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:05,320
Yeah.

570
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,480
Director Harold Williams.

571
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,480
President does the opposite.

572
00:41:11,820 --> 00:41:14,560
I have an AC is in consideration to respond to you

573
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,920
for officially years, money is $20, $20, $5,000,

574
00:41:17,980 --> 00:41:18,960
and let me see that.

575
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,660
Again, let me just present out where it's decided

576
00:41:21,660 --> 00:41:24,160
and begins on Packer Page 156.

577
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:25,280
What is presentation?

578
00:41:25,540 --> 00:41:27,540
We have things to ask it.

579
00:41:27,540 --> 00:41:34,580
This EJ mentioned this item is on page 156 and I hope one item for your considerations today.

580
00:41:34,940 --> 00:41:42,780
Director Houston request consideration for West Basin to sponsor the community's child in the evening of a fundraiser event.

581
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:47,080
This event is scheduled to be held on Saturday September 20, 2014.

582
00:41:47,860 --> 00:41:53,580
At this time, Director Houston would like the Board to consider $8500 sponsorship and the other grand West Basin and advertisement,

583
00:41:53,580 --> 00:41:58,320
promoting district awareness. Now the, but no, we have not previously sponsored this event,

584
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,580
so it would be our first time doing so if you would like to see additional information regarding

585
00:42:02,580 --> 00:42:11,740
this particular request, you can see attachment A on packet H150. A proving the sponsorship today

586
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:20,260
of $500 would leave a remaining budget of $50,000, $900 for details on that ready budget,

587
00:42:20,260 --> 00:42:24,600
that you can look at and have your tweet and not go back to page 4.

588
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,420
So with that, I'd like to read the recommendation.

589
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:30,040
Director Houston recommends that the board can

590
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,260
consider approving sponsorship of communities,

591
00:42:32,420 --> 00:42:36,700
child and evening of both one reserve and scheduled to be held on Saturday,

592
00:42:36,820 --> 00:42:39,820
September 20th, 2024, and the amount of $500.

593
00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:42,460
And with that, I'm happy to answer any questions.

594
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:44,240
Thank you.

595
00:42:44,860 --> 00:42:45,460
Any questions?

596
00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:52,830
every nine is the motion we have to prove.

597
00:42:55,780 --> 00:42:56,820
I'll move the item.

598
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:00,480
Second.

599
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,880
We have a seat.

600
00:43:04,340 --> 00:43:04,660
All right.

601
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:06,820
The motion in the second.

602
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,220
And there's no other comments.

603
00:43:09,860 --> 00:43:11,420
Then we have a little home.

604
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:12,440
Correctors.

605
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,000
Scott Houston.

606
00:43:13,660 --> 00:43:13,700
Yes.

607
00:43:14,180 --> 00:43:15,120
Director John Deer.

608
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,700
Director Gloria Gray.

609
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:18,980
Yes.

610
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:21,380
Director Harold Lines.

611
00:43:21,780 --> 00:43:21,880
Yes.

612
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:23,480
President Desi Alvarez.

613
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:28,620
Thank you for coming on. I don't think that's the case, but that's the case.

614
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:33,780
I'm going to leave you one more time.

615
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,560
Yes, President Albert, this item begins on Pack Page 165.

616
00:43:41,180 --> 00:43:43,140
And for this presentation, we have Jason Com.

617
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,220
Operations, MLS-2.

618
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,260
Good afternoon, directors.

619
00:43:47,260 --> 00:43:53,600
was the J. mentioned in some page 165. On April 26th, a 30-inch recycled water pipe just the

620
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,680
downstream of our Michael filtration process that J.M.N. experienced the failure to the line

621
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:02,500
originally installed during the phase 1 of the project. This is located between the M.F. and

622
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:07,120
R.O. processes that supplied merely feed recycled water to the marital and baritone repiling.

623
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:12,540
The leak impacted recycled water production, and West Basin instructed the only is to respond immediately

624
00:44:12,540 --> 00:44:17,140
and implement immediately. This is scenario repairs to restore service service to our customer.

625
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:24,560
For agreement, W290, the earlier follow-in-Westfaces and Ministry of Code Section 5-1.106,

626
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,440
procurement of critical goods and services, and conform to the formal solicitation process

627
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:36,860
at 4th of section 5-1.103A or critical repairs for a critical acquisition. Innovative engineering

628
00:44:36,860 --> 00:44:42,440
and maintenance was contacted to begin an excavation and safely isolate the leak on a time

629
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,540
material spaces. They performed the temporary repair that dying while the permanent

630
00:44:46,540 --> 00:44:51,020
fix was planned for when does during the team. Unfortunately, the line experienced another failure

631
00:44:51,020 --> 00:44:56,520
under normal pressure-pushed fluctuations on May 13th, right before, necessitating another

632
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,960
repair that night to restore operation. Both West-Face.

633
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:13,020
And we all used to have contacts in multiple vendors and agencies to locate the necessary material for the permanent fix, due to the complexity of the proposed repair and the constraints of the work in area, the expertise of other contractors were flooring to.

634
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:23,920
And so if you jump to the table, see on page 177, a corn main, one of the contractors was selected to source replacement parts and electrofuse the coupling, but the shortest lead time and the compatible solution.

635
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:34,460
The total amounts are included for reference to the right-most column of the table, and per the contract operations and maintenance agreement, you only charge is a 12% markup on subcontractor piece.

636
00:45:34,940 --> 00:45:40,540
As a result, the total cost of repair is 1, 146,000 for 23 dollars and 29 cents.

637
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:44,920
And with that I'd like to read the recommendation and answer any question you may have in up there.

638
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:59,300
The recommendation is as follows that the board ratified the expenditures for the critical error of HTTP by along the McPulturation F1 line at the JMMCRWRP and the amounts of 146,000 portion, 23 dollars and 29 cents.

639
00:45:59,300 --> 00:46:02,040
Thank you very much.

640
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:02,740
Any comments?

641
00:46:03,380 --> 00:46:04,360
Any questions?

642
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,280
Any questions?

643
00:46:07,060 --> 00:46:15,180
Is this repair work guarantee and we have what is the length of this guarantee?

644
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:20,540
I believe the parts have a warranty included, but I would like to check specifically on the purchase order.

645
00:46:20,580 --> 00:46:21,860
What the terms actually are.

646
00:46:21,980 --> 00:46:26,040
If you can get back with more information for the directors at a later time.

647
00:46:26,140 --> 00:46:28,140
Yes, I'd like to hear more or not.

648
00:46:28,140 --> 00:46:35,040
the time and material, whose chair, we come up with that too.

649
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:35,780
So did that.

650
00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:40,370
Can you give that news about that?

651
00:46:41,350 --> 00:46:41,870
Wait.

652
00:46:43,410 --> 00:46:47,330
The next, you know, we'll talk emails from the information

653
00:46:47,330 --> 00:46:48,430
I've seen this policy.

654
00:46:50,410 --> 00:46:52,850
Can you, I don't know if you can.

655
00:46:56,990 --> 00:46:57,510
Thank you.

656
00:46:57,510 --> 00:46:58,730
Any other questions or something?

657
00:46:58,930 --> 00:46:59,670
That's all I have.

658
00:47:01,180 --> 00:47:05,500
So, they've totally response time for this. How did you take?

659
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:07,580
What do you mean by response time?

660
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:08,540
What do you mean by response time?

661
00:47:08,740 --> 00:47:12,220
What do you mean by response time?

662
00:47:13,220 --> 00:47:14,720
I mean, you couldn't keep you, can you?

663
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,160
Sure, so there were different repairs, temporary repairs.

664
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,600
So, to be specific, response from innovative was same day.

665
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,660
and they performed a temporary fix that same like.

666
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,860
And there was a additional second,

667
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:32,300
expected repair.

668
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:35,280
I was also, they responded in the same day,

669
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:36,360
repair on the same like,

670
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,100
and then at that point,

671
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:41,840
the permanent fix was done on me.

672
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,440
If you have any details.

673
00:47:50,940 --> 00:47:52,200
May the third year.

674
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,140
Is one of the parts arrived

675
00:47:56,140 --> 00:47:58,740
and we performed the actual electric piece.

676
00:48:02,060 --> 00:48:11,100
When would we actually notify when did you become aware of what is happening to where I'm going to be for repair the data.

677
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:12,860
I bought 26.

678
00:48:15,140 --> 00:48:17,080
And that's same day then.

679
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:18,480
What are you saying?

680
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:19,360
What are you saying?

681
00:48:19,620 --> 00:48:20,660
Did you want to respond?

682
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:21,420
Correct.

683
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:22,760
It responded.

684
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:23,940
Are they under the effect?

685
00:48:24,580 --> 00:48:25,060
To us?

686
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:26,360
Or?

687
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:27,040
To be earlier.

688
00:48:28,580 --> 00:48:29,680
It's through the earlier.

689
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,720
But they don't have a climate like that, but it's just on time in the materials basis. They're responding.

690
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:43,000
You know, it's a follow-up BTA that would be flying. And what would the nature of that? And why am I there?

691
00:48:44,420 --> 00:48:48,580
Do you know the location of where this failure happened? It's right before the

692
00:48:48,580 --> 00:48:53,420
reverse osmosis membranes. And there's quite some high-pressure bee pumps that be in the area.

693
00:48:53,740 --> 00:48:59,900
There's some normal fluctuations that happen in the bite. Unfortunately, the temporary fix was not able to

694
00:48:59,900 --> 00:49:02,280
be serene enough to have been safe for those

695
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,820
in all of the pressure fluctuations.

696
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:07,200
And that was the reason for the unexpected second

697
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:07,980
pepper index.

698
00:49:09,220 --> 00:49:14,620
So, had the provision makes it done better

699
00:49:14,620 --> 00:49:16,160
when you still had a failure?

700
00:49:17,100 --> 00:49:17,780
I wouldn't say so.

701
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,380
It's a very critical location.

702
00:49:20,860 --> 00:49:23,680
It's quite amazing that we were able to have

703
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:24,940
a fix that same night.

704
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:26,580
I'll speak up.

705
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,860
I personally responded that night.

706
00:49:28,860 --> 00:49:35,900
people down literally, like you can imagine in the dirt in the water. And we were warned that

707
00:49:36,460 --> 00:49:42,400
this fix, it was a little precarious and that we should get on a permanent fix. It was

708
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:47,880
a challenge to find the parts. I mean, we some of us literally offered to fly to Texas or

709
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:56,000
wherever these were. So it's just the nature of what we needed for that short space. And so we

710
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,260
just by the time you're getting the parts, the temporary fix started to give way so we had to kind

711
00:50:00,260 --> 00:50:06,160
of just basically Jimmy Reagan back together until we could get all the parts there. And it wasn't

712
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:11,760
a delay on anyone's part here. It just really is truly still a challenge to get some parts that aren't

713
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:18,320
commonly used and for what we needed. It was due to the size of the pipe and it's very

714
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:25,100
is hard to get a temperate part right in place in that short amount of time and we needed to

715
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:30,800
bring the system back online as soon as possible during that whole course of the week when

716
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:37,120
we were trying to maintain that temperate fix and what to the permanent fix was scheduled to arrive.

717
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:44,460
We have to do a close coordination between marathon and operations. Make sure that we're operating

718
00:50:44,460 --> 00:50:55,320
in a very stable pressure setting to not to get all this unexpected peaks and unfortunately,

719
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,760
because the nature of operations we did see those spikes and then the temporary fixed

720
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:05,920
it failed, unfortunately, and there was, say, unplanned failure.

721
00:51:11,890 --> 00:51:13,270
Do you have any other questions?

722
00:51:15,590 --> 00:51:20,830
I think I have two things, and one is, in the end, there's a big scheme of things,

723
00:51:20,890 --> 00:51:24,510
or we satisfy with the level of all the work that's been done at this point,

724
00:51:25,170 --> 00:51:28,330
and everything's been holding and working as it should.

725
00:51:28,330 --> 00:51:45,890
Okay. And then the other thing is, and it's been a while, but I don't remember the board being informed about this. I mean, I could be wrong, or I was not at a committee meeting and that went through what was talked about, but did the staff email the board and just this occurred.

726
00:51:46,430 --> 00:51:53,750
All of us go back and review my emails, I do try to notify the board of shutdowns of patients.

727
00:51:54,890 --> 00:51:55,730
I can't recall.

728
00:51:55,790 --> 00:51:58,190
We took this part in the May, GNO community.

729
00:51:58,830 --> 00:51:59,510
There's some votes.

730
00:51:59,850 --> 00:52:00,930
Yes, the flash we did.

731
00:52:01,750 --> 00:52:03,550
And I don't think we did get it.

732
00:52:03,550 --> 00:52:04,050
I've done it.

733
00:52:04,070 --> 00:52:04,570
We call them.

734
00:52:04,570 --> 00:52:10,310
Other side of the surprise that E&O, when you mentioned this item, I've been taking care of them.

735
00:52:10,350 --> 00:52:11,770
And that will be exactly the same.

736
00:52:12,250 --> 00:52:13,690
I believe there's some photos on the May one.

737
00:52:13,930 --> 00:52:14,930
We can sense well.

738
00:52:15,830 --> 00:52:22,970
There were photos and we did put it in there, oftentimes when an email goes out and when

739
00:52:22,970 --> 00:52:28,110
there is a loss of production or a customer is out of water, so that might be where

740
00:52:28,110 --> 00:52:30,070
there was a government communication.

741
00:52:30,650 --> 00:52:35,530
That's what we worked on with the temporary fix to make sure they weren't put out of water.

742
00:52:36,710 --> 00:52:42,590
The recognition points, we share the receipt and email that there was an emergency repair

743
00:52:42,590 --> 00:52:48,250
underway and then we'll be taking care of to not be delayed and wait for a forward action

744
00:52:48,250 --> 00:52:53,730
that we'll be brought back to the ratification after the last.

745
00:52:55,170 --> 00:53:00,910
I understood, because that's my one thing, and I know when people are in the middle of every

746
00:53:00,910 --> 00:53:04,050
container, I expect it to write e-mails and stuff, unless it's really mission critical.

747
00:53:04,050 --> 00:53:08,350
Well, the general manager can form us, but as you know, over the years, I think it's

748
00:53:08,350 --> 00:53:13,570
really important that at some point the board just made aware of any incidents or situations,

749
00:53:14,350 --> 00:53:20,630
you know, or at least a synopsis, so that, you know, we're aware as well as if we hear about it

750
00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:26,130
from anybody in community and I know, you know, we've been hearing this over the years quite

751
00:53:26,130 --> 00:53:26,590
frankly.

752
00:53:26,990 --> 00:53:32,290
Usually we're pretty good, but you know, you've had those incidents where someone ran into something

753
00:53:32,290 --> 00:53:36,110
have drunk dry or whatever in more informed. So I think it's just always the last

754
00:53:36,110 --> 00:53:43,070
similar, and if you could Mr. General Manager keep the board in form, because one thing

755
00:53:43,070 --> 00:53:48,230
I just don't like hearing about it later, like out of committee meeting or something, just

756
00:53:49,650 --> 00:53:53,850
personal and, you know, I don't even get to go to all the committee meetings, but you should

757
00:53:53,850 --> 00:53:58,610
be on the agenda. But, you know, thank you, President Alvarez, too, because I think we just

758
00:53:58,610 --> 00:54:03,650
to reiterate. The board has gone to stay informed. Thank you.

759
00:54:04,550 --> 00:54:08,470
Okay. There's a lot of questions. We have more to go from.

760
00:54:08,970 --> 00:54:10,070
The move.

761
00:54:10,450 --> 00:54:11,130
Second.

762
00:54:15,470 --> 00:54:16,770
Director Scott Hucen.

763
00:54:18,150 --> 00:54:21,230
Director John Deer. Yes. Director Gloria Gray.

764
00:54:25,950 --> 00:54:26,110
Director.

765
00:54:30,700 --> 00:54:31,160
Yes.

766
00:54:32,620 --> 00:54:36,500
Dr. Harold Blames, yes, that's how it does the operates.

767
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,400
In the next item is item eight, e.

768
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,480
We are going to determine that item.

769
00:54:43,820 --> 00:54:45,400
We'll act through the code section.

770
00:54:45,660 --> 00:54:47,040
There's no session items.

771
00:54:47,720 --> 00:54:49,080
We'll only act on the board.

772
00:54:49,580 --> 00:54:51,250
Much you can see that it is particular item.

773
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:54,200
So that we will move to item eight.

774
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,900
That's the initial code taken from the meeting.

775
00:54:58,400 --> 00:54:59,000
That's present.

776
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:04,740
hours. This item begins on package 172 and for this presentation, we have one in

777
00:55:04,740 --> 00:55:06,820
October or Chief Financial Officer.

778
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,820
Thank you, Jay. Good afternoon, your director. The space and currently have a

779
00:55:11,820 --> 00:55:15,320
survey meeting for people who keep your line Friday. That's supporting the

780
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:21,500
bi-electrical field. Each building is higher, hopefully 80, 20, 40, 40, 40.

781
00:55:21,580 --> 00:55:27,020
The space that had this warm one in 2018, this program allow way space and

782
00:55:27,020 --> 00:55:33,780
farm money when it is, you may call it toward the board, I'm doing that continuity of this

783
00:55:33,780 --> 00:55:38,260
program after the board, I'm trying to improve the program, I'm not working with the

784
00:55:38,260 --> 00:55:43,140
Vice-State of the Financial Advisor PMP, Vice-State of the Health and Criminal

785
00:55:43,140 --> 00:55:49,020
Observatory, to identify which can vice-visual light to continue working with.

786
00:55:49,020 --> 00:55:59,500
In evaluation, including six parts, on page 172, we're writing the options of our handwriting.

787
00:56:01,260 --> 00:56:07,960
We're going to continue working with the macro module, and how it's going to be certified now,

788
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:14,720
It were working with the other banks, the cost of the 141,000.

789
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:22,960
The second evaluation part is the annual P, which is on page 133.

790
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:32,320
That's how we want to offer 0.75% annual fee for PFM data.

791
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:39,920
I knew it before fine-party and don't worry about it, but there's only two, two, and zero, five.

792
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:51,860
Based on the estimated insurance cost and the most economy way for WestBeson to continue the CPI program

793
00:56:51,860 --> 00:56:58,110
is to extend the current agreement again for three years with the vacuum to go.

794
00:56:58,110 --> 00:57:04,550
I just want to learn more of the data, what is based on a lot of knowledge, or any more money.

795
00:57:05,110 --> 00:57:07,150
Unless it is very necessary.

796
00:57:09,270 --> 00:57:13,050
What is based on management, will focus on English words, else,

797
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:18,530
bringing in more revenues, and then continue to reduce our per year expenses.

798
00:57:20,030 --> 00:57:25,890
The third ingredient I created is a backup one, or if we really need money.

799
00:57:26,850 --> 00:57:34,390
During our fiscal year 2014 and high budget process, there was a 42 million CFP project

800
00:57:34,390 --> 00:57:36,920
was identified for next year.

801
00:57:38,470 --> 00:57:42,110
But it's basically expecting $12 million, no problem.

802
00:57:42,470 --> 00:57:44,930
They don't have to $20 million at one time.

803
00:57:46,190 --> 00:57:54,710
And there were also expecting $4 million that revenue came in the next year of retail expenses.

804
00:57:55,950 --> 00:58:04,650
So, the certain need in live party is there just, or they have just in case something happens that we won't have enough to do today.

805
00:58:06,610 --> 00:58:13,050
Today, we have a job, the farmer from Michigan League, and they're in the many degrees from PFM.

806
00:58:13,250 --> 00:58:14,910
They're both on my right now.

807
00:58:15,250 --> 00:58:18,830
But if you'd like to answer any questions before and may have.

808
00:58:19,950 --> 00:58:23,050
I'm posting right now for any questions in the house.

809
00:58:25,690 --> 00:58:28,490
Thank you. Any questions from any of the board members?

810
00:58:31,310 --> 00:58:32,690
Do you actually really get any questions?

811
00:58:36,380 --> 00:58:37,800
Thank you.

812
00:58:38,740 --> 00:58:40,940
This is a three-year-long period.

813
00:58:41,300 --> 00:58:41,660
Correct.

814
00:58:42,780 --> 00:58:45,640
And the total cost of the money credit is going to be.

815
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,000
The total money credit annually is going to

816
00:58:51,400 --> 00:59:00,200
be...

817
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:05,300
We are planning to borrow money, that's the significance of a market rate.

818
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:10,900
We do that again as an email from PMM, that is a common fruit.

819
00:59:11,580 --> 00:59:15,700
So the maximum, the disadvantage of the income, because rate,

820
00:59:16,260 --> 00:59:19,080
or our waste leaves, will be 12% at the max.

821
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,700
But there's a true 12%. That's the max.

822
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,260
So we will now go over 12%. But that's the true borrowing.

823
00:59:26,260 --> 00:59:29,840
for that. I don't know where he's for that.

824
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:35,440
The true borrowing will be because of the market and the date we're borrowing.

825
00:59:38,090 --> 00:59:40,070
But just for the 90 frames.

826
00:59:40,150 --> 00:59:40,350
Yeah.

827
00:59:40,710 --> 00:59:45,910
If it's not used, it's going to be $100,000 or $140,000.

828
00:59:48,390 --> 00:59:50,730
Uh, it's, it's the exact way.

829
00:59:52,670 --> 00:59:56,350
Hey, Wendy, it's Darren. I've got the numbers in front of me if it's helpful.

830
00:59:56,350 --> 00:59:59,750
Okay. Yeah. Good afternoon.

831
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:17,460
So, for three years, the 35 basis points in the line of credit is $315,000. So, that's the fee for the letter of credit, plus we are paying up front approximately $35,000 in fees. So, all in, we'd be around $350,000.

832
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,180
Okay, that's the number I want to give.

833
01:00:22,420 --> 01:00:25,120
You know, that's the water exposure.

834
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:30,040
We have a line of credit for the three and three issues.

835
01:00:30,980 --> 01:00:31,440
Correct.

836
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,400
And we paid a similar fee.

837
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,820
And we did exercise that line of credit.

838
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,280
So, we don't exercise the line of credit this time.

839
01:00:41,580 --> 01:00:44,680
We will still pay 150,000 off.

840
01:00:45,020 --> 01:00:45,380
Correct.

841
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:48,840
And that's a lot of money.

842
01:00:49,620 --> 01:00:54,560
So the question I have for you is, if we didn't have a line credit, then you could borrow

843
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,080
a short term commercial payment.

844
01:00:57,500 --> 01:01:01,320
What would it, what would it, difficult to be in a chewy net?

845
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:10,800
You didn't have a line credit, but you still needed to borrow a short term basis without

846
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,320
we know each other day.

847
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:14,480
We know each other day.

848
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,340
We have a bank, and we're the one and the same.

849
01:01:19,700 --> 01:01:22,480
How long will it take you to get along from the bank?

850
01:01:22,820 --> 01:01:25,540
To cover our need for sure, sure, compliance.

851
01:01:27,500 --> 01:01:29,800
Darren, would you be able to ask a doctor?

852
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:36,640
Sure. So, director, if you went out and requested funding from a bank directly,

853
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:43,520
the time period that requires probably two to three months. The interest rate is in today's

854
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,380
market greater than five percent for that.

855
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:53,320
And what's the interest rate in this particular

856
01:01:53,320 --> 01:02:02,100
arrangement will be some number that no more than 12 percent. Yeah, so whatever the zero

857
01:02:02,100 --> 01:02:04,440
that rate is.

858
01:02:05,220 --> 01:02:15,120
To an extent, so right now if we were to go out and borrow commercial paper, the rate would be between 3.2% and 3.4%.

859
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:16,040
Estimated.

860
01:02:17,740 --> 01:02:23,100
Without, would that be the same rate we would get from another bank or one of our other existing banks?

861
01:02:23,620 --> 01:02:26,600
We're even this bank, since we bank with them?

862
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:37,600
No, so that I think that let me make sure I understand the question, so the question you have is how would the cost of our commercial paper borrowing differ from the cost of borrowing directly from a bank?

863
01:02:40,380 --> 01:02:44,740
Yes, but not any bank from banks that we currently do business with.

864
01:02:47,460 --> 01:02:54,740
Got it, so in all likelihood the cost of borrowing into the commercial paper program, just on a rate basis, would be lower.

865
01:02:54,740 --> 01:03:08,680
Typically, what we've seen when we borrowed directly from banks is that they're based in our interest rate on a taxable rate in the taking a haircut off that so it's a little bit more expensive than when we go out and sell commercial paper to investors.

866
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:12,460
What are we talking about?

867
01:03:15,250 --> 01:03:17,810
Can you put a magnitude a number on that?

868
01:03:19,110 --> 01:03:21,230
I'm sorry, ask that question again.

869
01:03:21,950 --> 01:03:24,170
Can you put a number on that?

870
01:03:24,450 --> 01:03:25,630
What is the difference?

871
01:03:27,810 --> 01:03:41,430
So it would be the difference we can go out, and I can, I don't have a precise number in front of me, but like I said, in other situations where recently we've requested bank financing the rates above five percent.

872
01:03:42,110 --> 01:03:49,510
So the difference between five and points are and three, three point four, that 3.25 to 3.4.

873
01:03:53,130 --> 01:04:05,150
Okay, so there's the European, there's some difference and we will not be the same decision to negotiate with the same bank if we didn't have the same thing.

874
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:18,880
So you're able, sorry, I just want to make sure I understand. So you're asking whether or not there's a difference in negotiating directly with the loan of the bank first commercial papers, that correct.

875
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:24,280
Correct. There is correct. In my experience there is a difference in that rate.

876
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:26,920
It's essential.

877
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,600
That difference that I just provided, that would be my estimate.

878
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:49,290
At the end of the day, we're going to be spending $350,000 for a life-of-grade debt.

879
01:04:49,290 --> 01:04:57,070
We more than likely will not end up using, and if we needed to really borrow and expand

880
01:04:57,070 --> 01:05:02,170
the broadness of potentially borrow some money for people trying to solve it would go

881
01:05:02,170 --> 01:05:03,830
out of the non-term finance.

882
01:05:05,290 --> 01:05:09,110
And I think that the task experience could end two cycles of this.

883
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:13,090
At least that would have been important, never exercise the money for it.

884
01:05:13,490 --> 01:05:16,030
But we spent quite a bit of money for it.

885
01:05:16,030 --> 01:05:26,030
And she thinks about the $350,000 that's a lot of money over the next three years and the budget that we've been really tied on and that we're looking at

886
01:05:26,030 --> 01:05:28,670
for the next year coming.

887
01:05:29,930 --> 01:05:32,170
We have a lot of issues facing it.

888
01:05:32,210 --> 01:05:34,510
I don't consider it on worthwhile investment,

889
01:05:35,190 --> 01:05:38,370
so I will not be supporting this.

890
01:05:38,650 --> 01:05:41,370
Just wanted to put that on there.

891
01:05:41,710 --> 01:05:44,310
I don't know if any other board members have any comments.

892
01:05:47,740 --> 01:05:48,000
Sure.

893
01:05:49,060 --> 01:05:50,740
I do have a couple of questions I think.

894
01:05:51,020 --> 01:05:56,740
But one is we have been doing this type of program for many years.

895
01:05:57,300 --> 01:05:57,340
Right?

896
01:05:57,660 --> 01:05:58,100
That's correct.

897
01:05:59,540 --> 01:06:15,820
And I think I would ask Darren, I mean, this is not uncommon for a public agency to have a line of credit like this, no matter those incurred costs that are happening, even if we don't use the line of credit. Is that accurate, Darren?

898
01:06:16,740 --> 01:06:27,160
Good afternoon director. Yes, that is accurate. A number of water in C's use. It provides for a more optimal financing of certain capital projects.

899
01:06:30,630 --> 01:06:38,790
Yeah, because it just seems to me that this is the best way to proceed. And we obviously talked about this at the FNA committee.

900
01:06:40,150 --> 01:06:44,450
You know, I understand where we could just sit and wait and decide, oh my goodness, we need

901
01:06:44,450 --> 01:06:45,150
to borrow some money.

902
01:06:45,330 --> 01:06:50,290
Let's go run around and go find it real quick, but, you know, having a line of credits are

903
01:06:50,290 --> 01:06:51,750
very important thing to me.

904
01:06:52,010 --> 01:06:56,190
And certainly the staff has been recommending that and we have good advisors and it's not

905
01:06:56,190 --> 01:07:01,690
in common that public agencies and cities do this, so, you know, there is some cost along

906
01:07:01,690 --> 01:07:02,190
the way.

907
01:07:03,810 --> 01:07:06,990
But, first of all, I think we should be able to have the tools ready to go on our toolbox.

908
01:07:06,990 --> 01:07:14,110
So, yeah, I support, I'll make a motion that we move the staff's recommendation.

909
01:07:20,140 --> 01:07:21,340
There are seconds of motion.

910
01:07:21,580 --> 01:07:22,140
No second.

911
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,260
So, any other comments from any other board members?

912
01:07:31,850 --> 01:07:33,690
I will make a closing comment.

913
01:07:34,930 --> 01:07:40,610
Yes, there are agencies that do have line credit and pay for them.

914
01:07:40,610 --> 01:07:47,330
Also, I read this, you just don't have the money, but it really could be to borrow the money that you would go out if you were a finance.

915
01:07:48,450 --> 01:07:54,890
West facing does have an excellent reading and it is not at a disadvantage when it used to borrow money.

916
01:07:56,010 --> 01:08:04,990
We do have quite a bit of sharing today, and that is the pressing of Parliament, and if you think of the challenge, you can continue to fund that debt into future.

917
01:08:04,990 --> 01:08:15,710
We have a bucket and we just adopted that this challenging and staff is going to regret it.

918
01:08:15,810 --> 01:08:21,730
Looking at bringing in an entire particular festival in Europe and the bucket.

919
01:08:22,070 --> 01:08:25,430
So we do see some savings there.

920
01:08:25,870 --> 01:08:28,090
So all of that is to be good.

921
01:08:29,050 --> 01:08:31,730
And the expenditure of this money is not necessary.

922
01:08:31,730 --> 01:08:41,390
And I don't think it's warranted, but again, I will not be supporting the motion, but anyways, take a book book off.

923
01:08:41,890 --> 01:08:43,930
Director Scott Houston, yes.

924
01:08:44,310 --> 01:08:46,230
Director Don Deer, no.

925
01:08:46,690 --> 01:08:48,090
Director Gore Gray.

926
01:08:50,630 --> 01:08:51,890
Director Carl Plains.

927
01:08:53,050 --> 01:08:53,870
President does the offer.

928
01:09:00,580 --> 01:09:00,840
Okay.

929
01:09:01,940 --> 01:09:04,440
So, what was the vote?

930
01:09:10,820 --> 01:09:20,820
So we need to have a special meeting now of the finance F and Mead.

931
01:09:22,140 --> 01:09:24,840
So we have an information calendar.

932
01:09:25,620 --> 01:09:27,460
Are there any items that need to be discussed?

933
01:09:27,460 --> 01:09:29,780
and we see them finally.

934
01:09:31,180 --> 01:09:32,600
And we'll go on the meeting in the final.

935
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:37,520
All in a little bit.

936
01:09:38,180 --> 01:09:38,780
Spectre.

937
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,260
What's the new sanctions?

938
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:41,680
We have a little party.

939
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:43,300
Directors Scott Houssen.

940
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:45,280
Directors Don Deer.

941
01:09:45,380 --> 01:09:45,600
Yes.

942
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,200
Directors Corey Gray.

943
01:09:50,020 --> 01:09:51,120
Directors Harold Williams.

944
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:53,500
As soon as the Albright's.

945
01:09:56,140 --> 01:09:57,540
And next time you're not listening to me,

946
01:09:57,540 --> 01:10:02,400
you take to the Eastwood, you know, then, just thank you very much Mr. President.

947
01:10:03,260 --> 01:10:06,200
I believe staff has boarded, so you should have an electronic copy,

948
01:10:06,660 --> 01:10:11,500
who there was an attendance, you also have a hard copy of your desk, and we will be as always

949
01:10:11,500 --> 01:10:17,860
placing that in the chat for anybody watching and here in this opinion online.

950
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:25,400
That's all I am. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

951
01:10:26,100 --> 01:10:33,780
I have a question or two of the gentleman as you report real quick, and I saw him here.

952
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:42,800
So you had a number of meetings that looks like with what the city of Carson, Golden State Water, and Cal Water.

953
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:48,980
That's great about the potential bills part and the project's over in that area.

954
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,160
So is there anything you can tell us right now as to how those went?

955
01:10:52,160 --> 01:11:06,160
Yeah, I think our message has been well received, really, you know, recalling that we do have a federal funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dedicated to these two projects.

956
01:11:06,340 --> 01:11:15,380
We've also been able to acquire a little bit from a million and a half through the integrated regional water management dedicated to this project.

957
01:11:15,380 --> 01:11:18,100
That leads us shortfall of about $900,000.

958
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:29,220
So what we've been doing is meeting with each of the individual stakeholders that was the cities and the retailers to see what we can do to fill that gap.

959
01:11:29,900 --> 01:11:30,820
We're very hopeful.

960
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:43,020
Our idea was that once we can work this out with the stakeholders and put together a package for the board's consideration, what we'll do is we'll bring that back for you to decide.

961
01:11:43,020 --> 01:11:46,580
we may not be able to fill the entire gap, but we're very helpful that we will.

962
01:11:48,260 --> 01:11:55,220
Very good. And one other item, the urban water institute, so it looks like, I think you went out there.

963
01:11:55,840 --> 01:12:01,700
I don't know who else went out there, or paint directors did, but how did the conference go,

964
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:07,080
or did Amber staff go? Yes, that was attended by myself, as well as our assistant

965
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:10,080
are manager are goings and director care of Williams.

966
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:15,240
You know, I thought that the presentations in the pals were of value.

967
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:21,720
I think more than once they discussed the fact that sometimes the views at

968
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:26,960
Urban Water Institute are a little bit, you know, controversial.

969
01:12:28,180 --> 01:12:32,340
And I think that maybe controversial means not have been the best word, but maybe

970
01:12:32,340 --> 01:12:39,160
provocative, a lot of great conversations about outreach and communications. But of course,

971
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:46,820
there's some discussions related to policy. And I think that one of the themes on that day was

972
01:12:47,540 --> 01:12:51,800
Dreads. And I know that the Assistant Show Manager of the Water and Punishment District

973
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:58,820
An opportunity to talk about kind of freeing policies. Well, it would make work easier and perhaps

974
01:12:58,820 --> 01:13:04,160
you know identifying challenges what would it take to to basically meet the

975
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:10,480
challenge. So pretty good conference to all attended and I thought I thought it

976
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:16,120
went well. Very good. Thank you. Anything else? Okay.

977
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:22,700
I don't think we have to go to the session.

978
01:13:34,100 --> 01:13:44,080
I think I have three items on the second of August. I did go up with our gentleman during

979
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:49,240
the PV that role sites, which I thought was really valuable. I've been wanting to book

980
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:54,920
for a while. It looks like a lot of work has already been accomplished, while we're waiting on the

981
01:13:54,920 --> 01:14:00,520
more to be done, but thank you E.J. for working with me on that. And then let's see August 17th.

982
01:14:01,900 --> 01:14:09,000
I spoke at the Elskvendomine Street Part Show on behalf of this trick that was part of one of our

983
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:16,780
activities as well as on August 19th, I presented at a division meeting of all the Columbus clubs in

984
01:14:16,780 --> 01:14:21,500
South Bay region, because I was invited to do that and spoke about what they said.

985
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:27,060
Thank you to the staff for assisting in all those.

986
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:32,640
Any other comments?

987
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:33,460
The voting?

988
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:35,900
Thank you.

989
01:14:36,060 --> 01:14:36,600
There's nine.

990
01:14:37,020 --> 01:14:38,500
They started up this whole session.

991
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,840
You know, the council would unite in a new specific process tonight.

992
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:42,200
Sure.

993
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:42,400
Yeah.

994
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,680
We will be going to close session for the items that are sitting on the agenda.

995
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,180
If you need to be as listed.

996
01:14:50,950 --> 01:14:51,070
Okay.

997
01:14:51,270 --> 01:14:52,970
With that, we can totally turn into close session.

998
02:30:08,370 --> 02:30:09,150
Okay,

999
02:30:11,290 --> 02:30:11,610
what happened?

1000
03:34:12,880 --> 03:34:24,980
So we will re-consume the rate of meeting of the board of directors and Mr. General House, and you have anything to report this whole session.

1001
03:34:25,300 --> 03:34:37,480
I will report that the board took action in the closed session. I am in this book to authorize the general manager to enter into legal services agreements related to item 14 piece, initiation of litigation.

1002
03:34:38,540 --> 03:34:40,520
There is no other action taken during closed session.

1003
03:34:43,960 --> 03:34:45,080
Thank you.

1004
03:34:45,080 --> 03:34:46,360
Thank you.

1005
03:34:46,360 --> 03:34:48,740
So, then we move on to the direct challenge.

1006
03:34:49,280 --> 03:34:52,580
So, again, I don't, and we would start by talking to that.

1007
03:34:52,980 --> 03:34:54,000
We have direct views.

1008
03:34:55,660 --> 03:34:58,660
I have no additional comments.

1009
03:34:59,160 --> 03:35:04,480
So, I just want to say thank you to our staff and everyone for the last month's work.

1010
03:35:04,760 --> 03:35:05,380
Thank you very much.

1011
03:35:09,710 --> 03:35:15,450
Dr. Lillian, you need to come in and pretend that I don't think so.

1012
03:35:15,690 --> 03:35:27,420
I just want to say thanks to everyone and to my colleagues for being great stewards of public

1013
03:35:27,420 --> 03:35:35,440
and money and this calculated, I get it.

1014
03:35:37,400 --> 03:35:38,400
And then the rest of the people are in the middle of the world.

1015
03:35:39,800 --> 03:35:43,220
And then directly, are you anything I want to say?

1016
03:35:44,460 --> 03:35:44,980
Yes, exactly.

1017
03:35:44,980 --> 03:35:45,660
You're definitely saying.

1018
03:35:48,740 --> 03:35:53,100
And I have a moment, I guarantee, I don't know who many additional colleagues have got.

1019
03:35:53,100 --> 03:35:54,640
They're all in the world.

1020
03:35:55,260 --> 03:35:57,540
And then we will both buy from you.

1021
03:35:57,640 --> 03:35:59,000
I'm going to speak with you.

1022
03:35:59,180 --> 03:35:59,640
Oh.
