Okay. Okay. Well thank you for the update. And I guess we can 103 00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:24,030 not go through the process of trying to get the letter. That's nice. Yeah. 104 00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:29,750 Okay. Are there 105 00:08:32,180 --> 00:08:36,000 any other questions regarding the Oak Ridge Fire and EMS monthly report? 106 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,120 Okay. 107 00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:49,680 We'll move on to our next subject. This one is a citizens complaint regarding the unauthorized 108 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:59,520 herbicide use and this is recently just came to the City of Westford City Council's attention. 109 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:09,520 There is a good documentation that is presented. It became apparent that 110 00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:19,400 We needed to spend more time reviewing this before we discuss this in an open session. 111 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:33,520 So at this time, we would like to move the citizens complaint just to allow more time 112 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,280 for the City of Westford and the Councillors to review. 113 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:44,220 I have a question, though, does this need to be reported to the DEQ because of that, 114 00:09:44,380 --> 00:09:51,200 because it was put on the by the river, on that by the river, does the Q need to be informed of this? 115 00:09:51,780 --> 00:09:55,760 I think that may be part of the subject discussion. 116 00:09:56,180 --> 00:10:06,050 Is that's what I am going to report, what you need to report to DEQ inside the Q? 117 00:10:07,050 --> 00:10:17,090 department of environmental equality. Okay. So I can email the contact I have there and see what 118 00:10:17,090 --> 00:10:21,210 you would like us to do. It's a little bit unfortunate because I'm going on vacation on Thursday 119 00:10:21,210 --> 00:10:26,710 and leaving a little early Wednesday so I don't have a lot of time. Yeah. Yeah. It just has a little bit 120 00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:32,250 but she doesn't have the same contacts. Well I think she did say that she was reporting it to somebody. 121 00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:55,210 I think from the perspective of the city council and understanding the complexity of this project that we need to look into that we would probably do better to spend a little bit more time researching what's going on. 122 00:10:55,410 --> 00:10:56,990 So that was a very good question. 123 00:10:58,190 --> 00:11:20,210 And that would be my suggestion. However, that's open for everybody else's interpretation, but it appears that we do not have all of the information you need to represent the city of west for and and also the position, you know, of all parties involved. 124 00:11:20,210 --> 00:11:27,170 and so we want to make sure that everybody has a chance to submit their documentation. 125 00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:32,370 And then we can fairly assess what we have in front of us moving forward. 126 00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:36,530 So again, I thought it was very well documented. 127 00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:37,350 Yes. 128 00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:39,810 I'll be out there tomorrow to take a look at it. 129 00:11:40,010 --> 00:11:48,050 I'm going to get some measurements from the river itself and up the hill and then take some pictures so that we have that as well. 130 00:11:48,050 --> 00:11:57,190 So I have all the, I have all the the complaint form here is also I've been looking into it and so yeah, right now we just need to get documentation of it. 131 00:11:57,710 --> 00:12:02,270 Roughly how far it is from the river itself and if it's since it's since it's uphill. 132 00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:07,270 Yeah, so I'll I'll give Nicole that. 133 00:12:07,270 --> 00:12:09,870 Okay, that's great. 134 00:12:10,650 --> 00:12:12,070 So is everybody in consensus, 135 00:12:12,070 --> 00:12:17,250 in consensus that we have a work session regarding this? 136 00:12:19,180 --> 00:12:19,630 Okay. 137 00:12:23,230 --> 00:12:27,910 So are there any other questions regarding 138 00:12:29,860 --> 00:12:35,070 this particular confluent that we might be able to answer 139 00:12:35,070 --> 00:12:43,670 at this point, any questions, but if we do not have any more questions, then we would like to move 140 00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:49,850 forward. Yeah, I have talked about be about perhaps, you know, coordinating off the area and 141 00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:55,470 putting out a warning sign of some kind. Uh-huh. Does that sound appropriate? Fooded. 142 00:12:56,170 --> 00:12:57,110 Done. Fooded. 143 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:00,360 Okay, 144 00:13:03,270 --> 00:13:08,690 so without further questions, I would like to move on to our next subject, which is 145 00:13:09,650 --> 00:13:29,410 The review of the League of Oregon City's legislative priority valid, and again, this one, we haven't had much time to evaluate what the League of Oregon is submitting, so it looks like that would be something that we would ask to move forward. 146 00:13:29,410 --> 00:13:39,290 Yes, Nicole do we do this together as a city council we choose choose five priorities can't remember from last time are do each of us choose 147 00:13:40,070 --> 00:13:42,430 five priorities and then we each choose 148 00:13:42,430 --> 00:13:47,590 Yeah, so basically the city gets one vote and so 149 00:13:48,630 --> 00:13:53,930 What I've put in your packet is the ballot which lists 150 00:13:55,870 --> 00:13:59,250 What's in the placky? Yeah? Yeah, the 151 00:13:59,410 --> 00:14:11,710 this the top issues. So each counselor can go through select your top five issues. Then we'll come together and sort them out. So the ones with the highest number of votes go first and then if they just have one vote, then you would re-vote. 152 00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:17,730 And last year, I actually voted as well because it's not just a governing body. It's also a city matter. 153 00:14:19,010 --> 00:14:21,270 But yes, that's generally done in a work session. 154 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:23,990 And then the voter guide gives you a little bit, 155 00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:27,170 gives you a description of each one of the issues. 156 00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:33,910 So the league of Oregon cities is, you know, 157 00:14:33,950 --> 00:14:35,810 it's a lobby organization for cities. 158 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:38,350 So they are trying to find out what are, you know, 159 00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:40,910 what are cities priorities for the next legislative session. 160 00:14:41,970 --> 00:14:44,650 So it's due on September 25th. 161 00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:50,830 So we can get it and it's hoping to have a work session in August. 162 00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:51,870 Okay. 163 00:14:52,530 --> 00:14:54,430 You know, at least by the beginning of September. 164 00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:57,190 But if not, we have a little more time. 165 00:14:58,390 --> 00:14:58,870 That's good. 166 00:14:59,370 --> 00:14:59,650 Okay. 167 00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:03,850 So please come to the work session with your top five. 168 00:15:06,210 --> 00:15:14,010 Thanks for clarifying that.

Waked 174 00:16:08,950 --> 00:16:15,750 water, total gallons of 109,066, as of last year's 95,835. 175 00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:20,850 Averaging 3,518 gallons per day, 176 00:16:20,850 --> 00:16:23,590 Again, 0.1 inch of rain with no problems. 177 00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:29,170 Everything seems to be going okay with both plants. 178 00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:33,570 Draining the recirculation takes slowly right now, 179 00:16:34,350 --> 00:16:40,830 so that we can stand compliance with our AGL reports. 180 00:16:41,530 --> 00:16:47,450 I know we had a spike last month, and I know we got one in July as well. 181 00:16:48,050 --> 00:17:10,690 and so Max and I are gonna drain the tank so that we can kind of start over, get it cleaned out because, you know, we did all that work with all the primary tanks that we are trying to clean out that research tank so that so we can kind of start over again. 182 00:17:11,090 --> 00:17:12,790 It's been so long. I'm sure it's never been done. 183 00:17:16,460 --> 00:17:17,620 Okay, making progress. 184 00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:22,020 Yeah, that's great. 185 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,020 Okay. 186 00:17:24,180 --> 00:17:25,860 Well, you guys all have a good night. 187 00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:28,540 I'll probably hang around for just a little bit just to listen. 188 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:34,360 If you have any questions, you can have Nicole call me or text me if I get off, but I'll probably 189 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:35,700 stay on for a little bit and just listen. 190 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:36,800 Okay. 191 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,040 That's great. 192 00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:38,580 Thank you, Bobby. 193 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,120 Thanks, Bobby. 194 00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:40,140 Thank you. 195 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,360 Without any further questions, we'll move on to our next subject, which is the RGM. 196 00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:01,400 MP policy talking points. I didn't really understand this. Okay, thank you. Because we weren't, 197 00:18:01,420 --> 00:18:07,340 this is what we were asking for. What we're going to talk about is, is how legacy events, how we're 198 00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:11,700 going to, yeah, and how it could just make their policies, yeah, how we can go forward. So with that, 199 00:18:11,860 --> 00:18:18,360 it was just something that heaven submitted. Yeah. The document from Kevin Goldman. Okay. 200 00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:25,620 because it's just a framework, you know, this may not be what we wanted to do, but it's just 201 00:18:25,620 --> 00:18:32,160 something to think about. It's probably, it might be similar to the kinds of things that Oak Ridge 202 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:39,540 would do, but we may not want to get that involved in a lot. Because I think our application, our RGMP 203 00:18:39,540 --> 00:18:44,700 application, actually, you know, touches on a lot of this stuff, you know, how many people, how many, 204 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:54,200 You know, how are you going to do a lot is already in our TMP that people fill out to give to us for? 205 00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:56,140 We don't have an application. 206 00:18:56,660 --> 00:18:58,560 They use open. 207 00:18:58,780 --> 00:18:59,720 We ask people to use the open. 208 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,800 Yeah, but those are on. 209 00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:03,640 They are. 210 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:12,320 Yeah, so I still recommend that we have a working meeting where the legacy thing. 211 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:18,120 Yeah, to talk about our TMP and the way Oak Ridge has sort of changed their structure of their 212 00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:23,640 application and kind of their rules on funding. I don't know. And again, I think we should have 213 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,740 working group, but I don't know if we want to sort of match that so that we're all working together, 214 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,380 or if there's something else that we would like to do. But I think we should probably 215 00:19:32,340 --> 00:19:42,300 have a separate meeting and just talk about our TMP buttons and how we're processing 216 00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:48,200 So do you want to try and get that scheduled to Nicole for, I don't know if there's any 217 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:48,820 classes in August. 218 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,020 Well, I think the work sessions are generally two hours, so. 219 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:54,360 Okay. 220 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,900 So I currently don't know that much about what Oak Ridge has done. 221 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,800 Is that information that you can bring? 222 00:20:00,940 --> 00:20:03,080 Yeah, I'm on the RTMP committee for that. 223 00:20:03,220 --> 00:20:03,620 So I'll bring. 224 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,080 Okay, great. 225 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,640 Yeah, perfect. 226 00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:06,640 Yes. 227 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:06,780 Yes. 228 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:14,140 Because it was a little, it was very, it was very detailed, that's perfect. 229 00:20:14,260 --> 00:20:14,400 Okay. 230 00:20:14,740 --> 00:20:15,140 Okay. 231 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,040 Okay. 232 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:16,700 Thank you, Nicole. 233 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:18,380 Sounds like a plan. 234 00:20:18,580 --> 00:20:18,740 Yeah. 235 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:19,480 Thank you. 236 00:20:20,060 --> 00:20:20,780 Thank you. 237 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,080 Yeah. 238 00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:23,280 Happy to leave that in session. 239 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:26,040 Okay. 240 00:20:26,620 --> 00:20:27,020 Okay. 241 00:20:27,420 --> 00:20:31,340 So are there any other questions about our GMP policy talking points? 242 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,800 Sounds like we're going to have a work session regarding that. 243 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:45,080 and without any further questions we can move on to our next business suborder and that 244 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:51,260 is to a fruit minutes for the July 6, 2026, west for city council meeting. 245 00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:52,720 There's only one. 246 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,380 That's quite a few left.

Although, 295 00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:58,020 you know, Bobby's is kind of, Bobby's is out there, so we have actually posted that in the past if he 296 00:23:58,020 --> 00:24:05,080 doesn't mind. No, I'm still here. So, absolutely. If something were to come up on and then of course, 297 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:12,180 they'll also leave a message. So, and at that point, yeah, I'd be on it. Thank you, Bobby. 298 00:24:12,620 --> 00:24:19,800 Yeah, thank you, Bobby. But in order to back that up, if it's an emergency situation, they probably 299 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:26,240 should be informed to call the fire department. We'll call 911, you know, but for city business, 300 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:32,800 us, you know, Bobby, for you, but, you know, if somebody's stopping by and, you know, 301 00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:38,280 they, they witness something they need to report it somewhere. Okay, that's how 302 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,060 like we touched on all the parts of that. Yeah, if there's something on this just out 303 00:24:43,060 --> 00:24:49,620 of my, you know, my, my category, my way of work that I don't know this is going to be paperwork 304 00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:56,640 work filling out. I that wouldn't know where to start from there. So we're talking, you know, maybe a broken 305 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,840 water pie or something like that, that kind of emergency, you know, oh, if that, yeah, if that comes up, 306 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,180 maybe on it. Yeah. And Bobby, you have my number. Yeah. So of course, don't say Nicole. Okay. 307 00:25:10,580 --> 00:25:11,200 Um, Nicole, 308 00:25:12,340 --> 00:25:17,100 could we be informed? The council be informed if she does have to leave so that we're aware that there's 309 00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:20,800 somebody here? Yes, of course. Okay, thank you. 310 00:25:28,180 --> 00:25:30,300 So fire engine ladder, we already discussed. 311 00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:37,680 So we don't need it. Good news. Next item, the multi-function color printer in the office seems 312 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:43,220 to have failed. It's in an air state and I haven't been able to resolve it. And the part that likely 313 00:25:43,220 --> 00:25:48,140 failed is the print heads internal ink manifold, which is not a part that can be repaired. 314 00:25:50,860 --> 00:25:53,480 And the 315 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:59,220 research for replacement. Replacement with a similar inexpensive Epson model for 170 is not 316 00:25:59,220 --> 00:26:04,640 advisable. Consumer Reports issue to do not buy recommendation for that Epson line. It's called 317 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:10,060 the workforce line and it currently receives a 32 out of 100 score for reliability and 17 out of 100 318 00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:11,260 for owner satisfaction. 319 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,080 Consumer Reports does recommend the Epson Eco Tank line. 320 00:26:22,780 --> 00:26:23,460 That would be 321 00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:29,100 a little bit more like 570 on a top rated brother color laser printer if the consumables 322 00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:34,440 aren't too expensive because I think that would allow us to double side color prints. 323 00:26:35,060 --> 00:26:40,300 Yes, since we are not getting the ladder and we had that money allocated, did we not? 324 00:26:40,860 --> 00:26:41,520 The ladder money? 325 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:43,900 No. 326 00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:47,700 It was not specifically for a ladder, it was just for repair. 327 00:26:48,780 --> 00:26:49,000 Okay. 328 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,480 So again, we could use that money on a printer. 329 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:02,140 What we do have, there's more in that line item in the general fund than in prior years, 330 00:27:02,140 --> 00:27:07,300 although it was more in anticipation of perhaps needing to upgrade software like the water 331 00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:12,420 billing software if we're having to add fees or something that are not water and sewer related. 332 00:27:12,940 --> 00:27:15,620 But I, you know, I think we're okay with this. 333 00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:20,560 So, you know, the kind of the features we need, you know, 334 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,700 that my big printer doesn't do faxing to sighted scanning. 335 00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,600 And then special paper handling like our mailing labels, 336 00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:29,380 postcards and the door hangers for the water billing. 337 00:27:29,820 --> 00:27:33,660 So those are all features that we need that the big printer in the office, 338 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,460 the big black and white printer doesn't handle. 339 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:36,620 Yes. 340 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,100 So would that funding cover that expense? 341 00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:43,520 Do you think Nicole, by association in the work that it does in that field? 342 00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:50,080 You've got to have a printer to print all of your water stuff out, so. 343 00:27:50,340 --> 00:27:57,340 Maybe some of it, but there's less money for IT in the water and sewer than there is in the general fund. 344 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,380 So usually general fund pays for electronics. 345 00:28:04,860 --> 00:28:07,480 Well, I think that the waters were funded paid for the 346 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:13,120 laptop for Bobby. Well, that makes sense. Yeah, I know for 347 00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,740 getting the nicer one. Yeah. If it'll do everything that you 348 00:28:15,740 --> 00:28:18,040 need it to do because the other one doesn't, I think another 349 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,840 70 bucks is totally worth it. Yeah. Right. There's still some more 350 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,920 research to be done. Like I said, you know, if it's going to be 351 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,040 too much per for the toner per page, then or if it doesn't do 352 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,920 what we needed to do, then we would go with probably the F some 353 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:40,500 model instead. These are ones that usually don't they last longer than ink for the for the 354 00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:47,540 toner or the ink cartridges or whatever you have to buy? I think they do. Yeah. But the ink is I 355 00:28:47,540 --> 00:28:53,600 guess that the ink on the eco tank epsilon sounds like it's pretty inexpensive. And I guess it comes 356 00:28:53,600 --> 00:29:00,580 in just little bottles and you refill it. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. So there's still some more research to be 357 00:29:00,580 --> 00:29:07,140 I was going to ask if the products that we should be looking at are more in the commercial 358 00:29:07,140 --> 00:29:16,220 line, meaning they're heavier duty than homeowner-type machines, you know, and have the duties 359 00:29:17,220 --> 00:29:17,740 capability. 360 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,400 Probably are more or less for, you know, a whole lot of us. 361 00:29:23,860 --> 00:29:23,980 Yeah. 362 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,060 Considering a little bit. 363 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,360 Yeah. 364 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,600 We don't need anything with really big duty cycle because we're not going to be doing 365 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,900 a lot of color printing. Okay. 366 00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:39,260 Okay. Okay. All right. Moving on. Thank you. I'm 367 00:29:39,260 --> 00:29:45,320 such a little update on the emergency operations plan tabletop exercise that exercise took place on 368 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:52,040 Tuesday, July 7th, from 1030 into 130 PM. So the mayor and all the city staff attended and John 369 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,740 Stevie of Lang County emergency management who ran the exercise sent the mayor and myself a draft 370 00:29:57,740 --> 00:29:59,980 after action, record, and... 371 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,460 Improvement plan based on exercise. So once that document is finalized, I can share that with the council. And you can kind of see where we need, you know, some improvement. 372 00:30:13,750 --> 00:30:31,170 So Nicole, I'm, I was going to ask if I could get a hard copy of that, that exercise report so that we can start kind of building through that have an ending emergency binder, knowing what the, what the observations were. 373 00:30:31,690 --> 00:30:35,030 And so we can actually start working with the material. 374 00:30:35,850 --> 00:30:36,810 So I was going to ask. 375 00:30:36,830 --> 00:30:42,130 I believe that you were sent a copy of the draft, but I will confirm that. 376 00:30:42,490 --> 00:30:43,970 And if not, I got that. 377 00:30:44,290 --> 00:30:44,690 I got that. 378 00:30:44,830 --> 00:30:45,150 You did. 379 00:30:45,350 --> 00:30:47,910 I don't have capability with the printer. 380 00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:49,930 The printer all out. 381 00:30:50,110 --> 00:30:51,290 So you're just saying you want a print copy. 382 00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:51,590 Yeah. 383 00:30:51,970 --> 00:30:52,070 Yeah. 384 00:30:52,530 --> 00:30:52,810 Oh, yes. 385 00:30:52,910 --> 00:30:53,190 I can do that. 386 00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:54,110 You don't have a printer either. 387 00:30:56,210 --> 00:30:58,610 Well, I have a black and white printer, as long as that's fine. 388 00:30:59,870 --> 00:31:10,410 Um, it's, well, you know, how many pages it was, whether that's in, you know, if it's realistic at this time, or I could, I could wait a little bit for it, but I'd kind of like to keep everything fresh. 389 00:31:10,830 --> 00:31:13,470 It's like a minor though, right?

Okay. That was good. So the the secure rural schools funds fund exchange. So I went ahead and transfer that 68,000 from the LGFP account. It's highway funds to the link county on July 9th. 401 00:32:16,990 --> 00:32:23,790 That was built into the budget. And then on July 16th, the county transfers 68,000 to west for so the exchange is done. 402 00:32:23,790 --> 00:32:31,680 And then finally, so I 403 00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:40,780 opened a another account at the local government investment pool for reserve funds. 404 00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:58,100 This was a request by the Budget Committee to try to earn more interest on the funds, but it came to my attention that there's an average of 236 and banner bank fees that are being waived based on our account balance, which I knew some was being waived. 405 00:32:58,100 --> 00:32:59,880 I didn't, it was a lot more than I realized. 406 00:33:01,780 --> 00:33:07,800 So in particular, there's a $50 a month fee for online services, and you need a really 407 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:08,360 high balance. 408 00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:11,780 It was like $234,000 to get that weight. 409 00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:17,420 And I was a little confused by the report, because it didn't give specific, I mean, it didn't 410 00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:18,760 give like $1.00 a month. 411 00:33:18,940 --> 00:33:23,020 It was more like it might have been a percentage of the total in the account. 412 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:29,100 So, what I've determined is, you know, I've moved 60,000 from Banner to Reserve accounts, 413 00:33:29,940 --> 00:33:34,340 but, you know, if our balance falls to a Banner, we're going to get hit with these fees 414 00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:36,640 and then it's going to negate the interest for earning. 415 00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:40,920 So, I'm going to leave it at the 60,000 and just keep an eye on it and see if, you know, 416 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,640 more can be transferred while still avoiding the bank fees. 417 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,120 What kind of account do we have at Banner that would accrue those type of fees? 418 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,700 It's a checking account. 419 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,420 It's just a checking account. 420 00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:58,340 It's not like I got that into a savings account or something that? 421 00:33:59,140 --> 00:34:00,380 No, no. 422 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,980 And I even checked with Banner about, you know, what other accounts they would have to earn interest in. 423 00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:06,600 We just couldn't do as well. 424 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,200 Nearly as well. 425 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,500 At Banner as a LGIP. 426 00:34:11,020 --> 00:34:13,600 But for some reason, I had never looked at this report. 427 00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:15,920 Because I thought it was something else. 428 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,720 And then I finally looked at it and went, oh. 429 00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:23,580 So, you know, so it's like the basic fee recount fee is 22 a month, and then there's various 430 00:34:23,580 --> 00:34:29,740 other, you know, fees for returned items, and but that online one was a lot more than 431 00:34:29,740 --> 00:34:30,200 I expected. 432 00:34:30,540 --> 00:34:34,740 But, you know, they they send out the checks, so there's the paper and the printing and the 433 00:34:34,740 --> 00:34:35,360 postage. 434 00:34:36,020 --> 00:34:36,420 Gotcha. 435 00:34:36,700 --> 00:34:37,680 You covered for that fee. 436 00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:38,560 Okay. 437 00:34:39,140 --> 00:34:39,280 Okay. 438 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,120 Yeah, I can I meant to get a copy of that report. 439 00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:44,420 I can give you a copy of that if you if you like. 440 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,000 Yeah, that'd be great. 441 00:34:51,740 --> 00:35:01,240 I have a business bank account checking account with Bank of America and there's charge stuff like that.
