[07:45] We, we meet a lot to my am I?
[07:46] And nobody does anything.
[07:48] you know I'm trying. There's you can't be feel. I'm trying as much as I can. I know you do.
[07:55] It'll be out Facebook Live. Thank you all again.
[08:03] So what you got in the appropriate.
[08:07] Okay, so we're now going to recess the council meeting.
[08:13] Go back to the special utility authority meeting.
[08:18] We are at I don't know which is public input and unscheduled personal priorities.
[08:22] We're going to decide to jam that we're seeing to address the authority on any of the items.
[08:31] Tom, you've got a couple of guests in the audience, from GRDA.
[08:34] Would you just introduce them, please?
[08:37] We're not asking you to get up and tell you about unless you want to.
[08:40] But they just might have recognized you for being here. We'll appreciate it.
[08:46] Well, guys, we're really appreciate you being here.
[08:49] No one else will go to the council agenda.
[08:53] I don't stand with you up any night. I'm six and seven for the consent agenda.
[08:58] If there are no.
[09:00] questions on Inter-Canter-Most Sure Approve?
[09:02] Posted for that.
[09:03] On the second.
[09:04] Sir.
[09:05] We'll call please.
[09:06] Something.
[09:07] I'd like to thank you.
[09:08] Hi.
[09:09] Forster.
[09:10] We'll be with a show.
[09:11] Hi.
[09:12] Thank you.
[09:13] I'm Ed Mett, discussion on Water and a sewer, a capital improvement plan.
[09:17] All on John.
[09:18] He's got some roll-up too.
[09:21] In front of a person.
[09:22] Yes, sir.
[09:23] We brought some that we replaced in time.
[09:27] I'm a community.
[09:30] If you're in the North West, you'd be address-be-water, we've been pushing hydrants, so my
[09:34] shoulders are sore.
[09:35] You know.
[09:36] Robert, did you get in the face today?
[09:39] So...
[09:40] By a constituent?
[09:41] Oh, man.
[09:42] I don't know.
[09:43] What about the broken stem?
[09:46] Oh, broken?
[09:47] I was full, and I was full in New Orleans.
[09:49] Okay.
[09:50] I'm all on my arm.
[09:51] I'm a bruise on one of my legs.
[09:52] Yeah.
[09:53] I thought we'd have dives.
[09:54] Yeah.
[09:55] So we're going to get started this session on the Water and a sewer capital improvement plan.
[10:00] So that could maybe be met.
[10:01] And the last thing we left on is the MSU-A access to it, that's in the alternate funding
[10:06] opportunities, and also to provide better plan and better kind of an estimated cost and
[10:14] immediate needs for the plan.
[10:16] So we went there and did that.
[10:19] First off, we looked at different ways for funding.
[10:21] So we looked at free money.
[10:22] So everybody likes free money.
[10:24] So we've got the Toyota BRB.
[10:25] We checked with them on the drinking water side.
[10:28] So DWS are at, they have free money for regionalization.
[10:32] So if we want to take on another community's water, I'm going to have the interest in, or if
[10:38] one's a system is taken over by other systems.
[10:40] So for example, I'd have some of the Mesa cities.
[10:43] They might take over a rural water industry.
[10:45] If it's important for them if they're expanding that direction, something that goes right
[10:49] now we don't have that.
[10:50] But they do not have any free money to replace existing lines in the community.
[10:55] Okay?
[10:56] So we built them out.
[10:57] Then we went on the suicide, which is the Clean Water State for Quality and Fund.
[11:01] So you also referred to a CWSRF.
[11:04] You have to meet the state of reliability, which we did meet that, but we did not meet the population.
[11:08] So you had to be 3300 people or less to meet that.
[11:12] So obviously we don't fit that.
[11:14] The second thing the afternoon money for was for green projects.
[11:17] None of our projects meet that.
[11:18] So green projects would be for everyone at the pervious pavement down in certain areas for
[11:23] one of the rain and the water to go in there for storm water runoff.
[11:27] Different things like that, but I'm always to recycle water, but none of our plans we talked
[11:31] to other plans meant that it's re-warned.
[11:33] So can I just interject there and ask about in front of the colonel?
[11:36] Is that not something that you mentioned as a possibility?
[11:39] It is a possibility we could, you still have to have the water to go somewhere, even if it
[11:46] goes into a permeable pavement, we still have to send it somewhere else.
[11:49] Okay.
[11:50] And right now down the stream is not off.
[11:53] The streams are only option.
[11:54] We just need to work on how we did that down.
[11:56] The intensity.
[11:57] Okay.
[11:58] Okay.
[11:59] Real quick.
[12:00] What about with the future splash pad with the water that's not going to be recycled?
[12:05] Does that qualify for anything that's coming off and you're going to be runoff from the splash pad?
[12:11] Does that?
[12:12] Nothing.
[12:13] I'm not 100% on that one there.
[12:16] Because a lot of water is going to be used and it's just going to go down just away.
[12:19] All of this.
[12:20] It sounded like it was a blow through system.
[12:22] It was out a lot of recycled.
[12:24] Right.
[12:25] It has the treatment requirements for recaptured, rather than...
[12:28] Right.
[12:30] The next thing we look down is the Indian Health Services Funding.
[12:33] So previous people have worked with them here at the city, so we checked in and then began to see if they would have any ways to help us.
[12:40] We talked to them about some different projects and we are their population criteria to 10,000 or less.
[12:46] So we were over that.
[12:47] The only way to help us is if there was any additional Indian homes that were built that would like to connect to the system and then they would help us with that.
[12:54] But as far as the projects that we had, they could not help us.
[13:00] The last one we looked to and we talked to was the U.S.P.A.
[13:03] So the U.S. Department of Agriculture and World Development.
[13:05] So we reached out to them on the different programs that have a lot of different programs that we met with them.
[13:09] They also have the same requirement of the population of 10,000 or less.
[13:13] So we could not meet that for that.
[13:17] Then we talked to you over and we would be about a lot of them.
[13:21] So they have different loan programs that they offer.
[13:23] So the first loan program is the FAP loans.
[13:26] So this is, they go out and get a bomb for three or four different cities to get a lower interest rate.
[13:31] And then in turn, they make the loan to you for them not because you want it.
[13:35] With that, you don't have to do that.
[13:36] If I don't want to stay with Spain again, different, and then American Island is still.
[13:41] But they, that you are required to pay interest as soon as you get the loan.
[13:45] And some of the other programs we're going to talk about here in a minute.
[13:48] You don't start interest in carrying until you actually spend the money.
[13:52] Okay?
[13:53] So, I mean, FAP works for both water and sewer projects.
[13:58] So there is funding available.
[14:00] It's just whether or not we want to pursue that.
[14:02] Yes, there is.
[14:03] So this is the last time they close to big deals in June.
[14:07] This is just kind of showing you the years and the places that borrow the money in the per cent.
[14:14] I'm sorry.
[14:17] I'm sorry.
[14:18] I'll go back to that slide.
[14:19] So the term affected the rate.
[14:26] Otherwise, the rate was the same.
[14:28] That you should have been dependent on the term.
[14:30] Okay.
[14:31] Thank you.
[14:33] And so the benefits is that I take you bombs.
[14:35] So you have never reserved it.
[14:36] If you get covered just 1.4 per.
[14:38] And then there's no available environment.
[14:41] Switch some of the other programs around.
[14:42] Talk about a minute, dude.
[14:43] Call for that.
[14:44] So the second program they talked about with us was the Clean Water State Revolving
[14:50] From.
[14:51] So this is for wastewater projects, which I know the need to think,
[14:53] think, worry, think of everything, whatever.
[14:55] It's actually wastewater.
[14:56] So you can also do stormwater projects with this money.
[15:01] So the interest rates are significantly discounted thanks to the EPA backing on this program and it does not require
[15:08] Interesting to you actually spend the money. So if we borrow nine if we borrow two before and half me a dollar for a share of projects
[15:13] So they would hold that money for us until we actually spent that money down
[15:16] So each project we did they would we would not be paying interest on until we actually spent that money on the project
[15:22] So that's kind of an extent to that program. It does require environmental review
[15:26] Which they said takes 45 days and 60 days and they explained what he just which around here
[15:31] It wasn't that different American iron steel and if this was sustainability plan
[15:36] So invasive all stuff that they have people that help you with
[15:40] You're saying American iron steel. You're talking about the materials. Yes, I guess all products on the
[15:45] We'll have a certificate basically the days of American steel similar to our project if they had out several years ago
[15:52] So the requirements that you have behavior requires an environmental review
[15:57] You have the day of the state and like we talked about in our ground steel and the fiscal sustainability plan
[16:02] So this is not a project that we would do in house you can do
[16:09] Probably see that and also in house say so there's Davis bacon apply for doing it in house
[16:17] I don't know why it would you know, paying whatever or probably way please
[16:23] I've been on tip-weaning this value for example
[16:26] But it's dead for objects that have to follow those
[16:31] Then the second thing is the drinking water state revolving from which is DWS RF
[16:36] It's for water-related projects are a drinking water
[16:38] It's similar to the CWS RF but the discounts a little bit less so it's 30% to the 40
[16:44] And they have similar but not identically every department and it's also a communist with deep deep so you will continue to find projects
[16:51] This is the breakdown of recent projects that they've done in the interest rate
[16:56] So you can see this is wow nice right
[17:02] Okay, and they said you know if you wanted to do if you want to borrow money for 15 years, but pay it back
[17:11] Do two years of construction then pay it back for the 13 and I have you could actually get a little interest rate than the 15 years
[17:17] So
[17:21] So when it's said in six-month increments, I'd basically draw every six months
[17:26] No, you give all of my money for every so you want to do 15 and a half years or
[17:32] The terms yes, the term so next
[17:35] We're about the capital plan for the water and so this is the second thing that MSU and board ask is to have a more defined plan
[17:42] So
[17:43] And we're also going to talk about you the bump funny that will then
[17:46] present it with Dan Jackson and
[17:49] Also when after this let's get changed if there was economic development things that came along the view and have to prioritize
[17:55] Project differently and then also besides this we will also continue to replace
[18:00] We're seeing five and ten blocks of water line in the year.
[18:03] And what's our morning year that we had four years ago, five years of those purchase.
[18:07] Then this year we've got nine subparallel sharing, so.
[18:11] And is that just out of operating problems?
[18:13] That just kind of...
[18:15] It's a very good work we've been doing in addition to major projects.
[18:18] Yes, sir.
[18:19] So we've been working over the Northwest in our thighs.
[18:22] Olsen's engineering central.
[18:24] So we're going to start working on some of those lines in those neighborhoods.
[18:27] Off those central stuff.
[18:29] So here's our water capital plan.
[18:33] It's including your packet.
[18:35] This is best for you to get it to share with on the PowerPoint.
[18:39] Kind of something interesting.
[18:42] We brought something interesting.
[18:44] Water line.
[18:45] So this is the two-inch water line that we removed.
[18:48] And if you see all of a sudden excitement.
[18:50] This is like what a stirred up whenever we flush the hydrants in.
[18:55] So this is...
[18:56] Guess who made the original one?
[19:00] About 100?
[19:01] I would say goes to 100.
[19:02] Here's the one in service.
[19:04] It's like everybody likes to look to it.
[19:05] There it is.
[19:06] It's about half.
[19:08] It's a three-quarter school.
[19:10] So that would be actually coming from a main here house.
[19:14] And then we have this morning.
[19:17] First of all, it probably should've recently did.
[19:19] I don't know what we've ordered any water line.
[19:21] Which is one of some of it's kind of came out.
[19:23] Because we had to beat it out to do it to come loose.
[19:26] And it has some interesting pictures up here.
[19:30] If anybody would like to see that.
[19:32] And those are all cash done.
[19:34] Yes.
[19:37] So one thing to forward move.
[19:39] That total cost of kind of all of these is high.
[19:42] It's not half of the bond.
[19:44] And the reason behind that is if it crisis come in better.
[19:48] You don't have to have the next knife on the list.
[19:51] So that it gets moved on.
[19:55] We're only going to spend what we can't spend.
[19:58] But if we get good bit, crisis, we want to keep it moving forward.
[20:02] So on the board, all of these tables, basically, that table again.
[20:10] So these items that are highlighted.
[20:19] These are on the priority list.
[20:21] All the other dark finds.
[20:23] That's the rest of the list.
[20:25] So don't think that once we get through the first more team or finish.
[20:28] There's a lot more work to do.
[20:31] And these are just immediate priorities.
[20:35] All lines, things that haven't been replaced.
[20:38] So basically, anything that was cast is on this list.
[20:41] And are these all point and bigger?
[20:44] Or are they?
[20:45] They're everything.
[20:46] I mean, they're up to 14.
[20:49] So.
[20:50] But they're all major feeder lines.
[20:52] I guess we'll be a way to say it.
[20:54] So the first one on our list is central.
[20:56] If you guys remember, we passed the two.
[21:00] we passed the record, you had also an engineer central for a few blocks, so I mean, that
[21:06] is a main grid there.
[21:07] And the second one is, this is our sewer capital plan, so for the first phase we kind
[21:14] of do it along the river, you can see on that map, is there a main area or a main area?
[21:24] So the ones we picked here, basically, lower line areas, places where infiltration is a
[21:30] little more likely to get back into the line, so low spot along the river, another low spot
[21:36] there in northeastern, turn this over, turn this over, I think that will help everybody
[21:41] for you, little bit easier.
[21:43] Thank you.
[21:44] And if people have ever been out to the train bridge where we have the sewer line that goes
[21:49] across the train, all the train bridge, so that's one of them that we're going to replace.
[21:53] So again, the tower, the long stretch, you're running along the river, you're proposing
[22:04] replacing that sewer.
[22:06] So how does that mesh with our 20-year plan for the community and growth and letting some
[22:16] spaces return to their natural way, if you will?
[22:21] Right now, that's where the sewer goes, so even if that becomes more of a natural area, you're
[22:26] still going to have a sewer line there, because the entire city, the residential density there
[22:33] has a matter, so there's a line going as well, everything's going.
[22:38] Yeah, this all feeds over to the river, and then follows the river down to the pump station
[22:43] and then comes back to the plant.
[22:45] So, really feed, come to the situation.
[22:48] But in those lines, so your flood study coming up, one of the things to look at is waterproofing
[22:54] those mammals, so that when the river does get about them to make sure that you don't have
[22:58] the Neo-Show River coming into your sewer system.
[23:01] And that's the influx of infiltration.
[23:03] Right, big issue.
[23:05] Yes, so the point for all of these is the slipwinding similar to what we just finished out
[23:10] at the Neo.
[23:12] Some of them in this priority are only animal work, trying to get those rims up above flood
[23:17] point elevation, so that they quit sucking in and storm water.
[23:21] And then our one forced main project to get your forced main off of that old threshold.
[23:29] Okay.
[23:30] And here's the map that's on us.
[23:36] And this is the dead forecast of that.
[23:42] The injects a particular employee study.
[23:45] So, if you notice that nine million for the first phase and then six and six and four.
[23:56] And the numbers from the two choices.
[24:00] are you presenting earlier or about 10 and a half million, is that right?
[24:04] Yes, so the difference is coming from just operating.
[24:09] We don't know actually.
[24:11] The difference will come down.
[24:13] We will hit nine.
[24:14] You want to stop.
[24:15] But if the big price has come in.
[24:17] That would have been the budget.
[24:19] We want.
[24:20] You got to have me or the projects.
[24:22] Yeah.
[24:23] That's the estimated cost.
[24:25] We're going to bond that nine.
[24:27] And if we get, if we can do all that, we will.
[24:29] We'll start working on, you know, probably one fruit.
[24:33] Yes.
[24:34] We get done with probably nine of we have an, the Nancy, probably ten.
[24:38] A lot of priority ten, we'll start working on.
[24:42] Now, I think one thing that we're talking about, and as I've been very important to talk about in my note,
[24:48] is with the safe fund.
[24:50] There's some very real opportunities with that.
[24:55] Instead of borrowing the large amount of money at first.
[24:58] Starting to work with the state on loans for things like many.
[25:03] Priorities one and two are getting those in class.
[25:06] We would need to be paying interest on those until actually we pulled the money.
[25:11] So in reality, instead of having, but in was anticipated for our rates.
[25:16] I'd be able to stretch that out.
[25:18] And I don't have our rates to look as quickly.
[25:21] It's highly possible.
[25:22] Maybe for the first two projects or so.
[25:24] It might be a year before we look at any kind of rating.
[25:27] So that's what I really like to start exploring.
[25:31] The state is that even though we wouldn't have to be paying day to stay in.
[25:36] Research definitely not that much of a difference.
[25:40] But if we don't actually start paying interest on that, then we can start working with them.
[25:45] Figure out where our rates are.
[25:47] And probably they have a much longer rating crisis than what he was showing this last night.
[25:51] And try to try to develop a plan like that.
[25:55] But there's this to be clear on the financing mechanism.
[26:00] There's still bonding that's done for the state.
[26:06] It would be staged differently.
[26:09] Because for example, our electric projects that we want to.
[26:12] That's the traditional office.
[26:14] So once we're ready on that, we're already working on.
[26:17] The, is it the, because the initial substation is going to be first.
[26:21] That's about four million other projects.
[26:23] And probably right after the first one year with your approval on the market.
[26:27] You do that on the balance bondage.
[26:29] And then we'll have our rates are already designed.
[26:32] We'll go to effective April to be able to pay off that bondage.
[26:36] Here we have it done.
[26:38] And since we have a different mechanism to that.
[26:41] We might, you know, try to try to get loans for projects.
[26:46] One, two, three depending on how long those will pay.
[26:49] Part of the money for that through the bondage process.
[26:53] And then by the time we get four by six, do it again.
[26:57] And then have much smaller papers.
[27:00] on increases in the rate.
[27:03] And do remember, we didn't have 5% rate of increases
[27:05] built into more water as so we're 3, 2019.
[27:09] So I think our goal here is that we'll do these projects
[27:13] and it's the same amount of time,
[27:15] but not have as a big impact on our customers.
[27:19] So a comment and then a couple of questions.
[27:21] Number one, I appreciate your thoroughness.
[27:24] The two guys went to this with,
[27:27] especially looking for the free money first.
[27:29] But then I talked just very casually and formally
[27:33] over the last year about debt opportunities.
[27:35] And it's clearly, you guys really went out
[27:38] and researched it and I probably had an opportunity
[27:40] to learn a lot about how some of this stuff works.
[27:43] Secondly, I bring not the free money,
[27:47] but the next group of money is one of those required
[27:50] of one point forward in debt coverage ratio.
[27:53] And is that one of what we're proposing using?
[27:55] Yes, OK.
[27:56] And is that ratio only with respect to our water debt
[28:01] or is that the city's overall debt?
[28:04] And it's a good idea.
[28:04] I think the bonds we have right now are best of it.
[28:09] I think one point forward, one point five ratio.
[28:11] And so that we've done some projections
[28:13] on what the electric bonding is going to do to that ratio.
[28:20] Bands, the race that we have,
[28:22] the race that we've already approved,
[28:24] that accurate in that ratio to the non-linear bondage.
[28:27] So we already have that only before we start together.
[28:29] We have not done that yet for water,
[28:31] and it's super expensive.
[28:32] We need to work with Dan on depending on our projects.
[28:35] And if we use that source of funding,
[28:38] that we have to kind of restructure how it will be looking at that.
[28:41] So we've got some going to do it on that.
[28:43] But the nice thing about that is that how will we work on it?
[28:47] The rating increases will be less than the change
[28:49] over the project before the SQF9ment bondage.
[28:53] So any changes will make the people
[28:55] that the rating increases will be less non-linear.
[29:00] But we start out to meet that ratio.
[29:02] This is going to make sure we're looking down the road
[29:05] at the electric bonding.
[29:12] This is what the enters in it.
[29:15] Just what our current rates are,
[29:17] plus if we would put that.
[29:20] But obviously those would change with the fixing out.
[29:28] So I do want to, I do want to put that to me.
[29:30] I think that would be talking about the coverage.
[29:34] Dan's numbers have impacted that.
[29:36] I'm looking at children because what Jill knows about you
[29:39] suddenly said, we do those bond issues.
[29:42] Our ability to be able to have that coverage
[29:44] to be able to pull up money from initially
[29:47] in general funds is going to be restricted.
[29:49] So that's going to reason why we keep talking about that restriction
[29:53] is that we have to keep that coverage.
[29:56] And we'll have a very similar situation.
[29:58] We'll start in the water soon.
[30:02] I'm not sure you'd have any pictures from our other close-end issues show in the importance of this morning, but this is first and seed, and that's full blast.
[30:13] So that's what it should be like, that's a new water main we did.
[30:19] I'm here recently, we did an announcement this in the period of morning units.
[30:23] And so why did the difference in the two?
[30:28] That's a brand new water line versus you know what it's been there 80 to over a year.
[30:34] And the show, the difference in flow is because it's clogged up.
[30:38] Yes, there it does.
[30:39] I have all the sediments.
[30:40] Thank you, sorry, sorry.
[30:44] There's one more fourth in E.
[30:50] I'm right there, I was glad we didn't get call because we didn't think it was going to happen.
[30:55] So probably it is.
[30:58] So that's what it should be like.
[31:00] Right.
[31:01] This is a sewer that's just kind of showing you what they've been doing.
[31:05] Before we could away from the hyper festival,
[31:08] I'm going to say one thing, looking at Robert appears there.
[31:11] Our, you know, for the record, our ISO record.
[31:14] About 40% of our ISO record is dependent on our water source.
[31:20] And you can see what the fire hydrants with that flow coming out.
[31:25] Why do we have that situation?
[31:27] That's why I know some people are sending the virus to the water.
[31:31] And all that, that's why you do the flush.
[31:33] It's not only the clean out flow lines, but also to have an idea of what your fire flow is on your lines.
[31:38] And then prioritize an important.
[31:41] So this is going to have a huge effect.
[31:43] You know, being in the youth projects we're dealing.
[31:46] We'll also have a few people's insurance.
[31:49] Right.
[31:50] Shouldn't agree with us, it shouldn't.
[31:51] It shouldn't.
[31:52] It's really stupid.
[31:53] That's why the fire department is still involved with the highly flushes.
[31:57] Because it relates to our ability to fight fibers.
[32:00] And this is the answer line.
[32:04] If you guys are in a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very bad.
[32:07] So we're going to have that sort of line.
[32:08] So this is what it was before.
[32:10] I'm going to get a picture after, but there are camera actually broken down.
[32:13] So we haven't got the after picture yet from then.
[32:15] But you can see that's a whole clay made.
[32:18] And you see ups kind of starting to collapse in the cracks and then the roots coming in there.
[32:22] So when they come in, it's the line that you know, they keep it for the, they cut all the roots out.
[32:25] And then they slip on it for the roots can't penetrate.
[32:27] So whenever they, no areas for the penetrating, no areas for water coming.
[32:31] Yeah.
[32:32] How much capacity do you lose some slip on?
[32:35] No.
[32:36] Honestly, you gain in some cases because the,
[32:41] You're cleaning them out.
[32:42] Well, you're cleaning them out.
[32:44] But the smoothness of the liner is actually better than clay.
[32:48] So in some cases, you actually improve capacity depending on kind of how long it's gotten.
[32:53] You can see this has gotten just a little bit smashed.
[32:56] So it's still roughly circular.
[33:00] But in some cases, you won't lose just below.
[33:03] Or are all the new materials, PBC?
[33:05] Yes.
[33:06] Schedule 40, or 80, or...
[33:08] A lot of you are going to be probably H-D-P-E.
[33:11] Okay.
[33:12] A fusion joint, some kind of polypite.
[33:15] So the CDC is in a lot of it.
[33:17] They seem happy with it.
[33:18] They've already got all the tools where they can...
[33:20] Do you see the work with it?
[33:21] So it seems you're going to stick with one material.
[33:23] Yeah, about a hundred year long student.
[33:25] Yeah.
[33:26] So the CDC's similar to...
[33:27] I mean, you're talking about it in your service live.
[33:29] So...
[33:30] Okay.
[33:32] So this is the...
[33:33] They'll be sure of us through a main, so the customer was having issues on their sewer.
[33:37] We go out, we go out, and we can...
[33:39] We can...
[33:40] We can...
[33:41] We can...
[33:42] We can...
[33:44] Just for the record that is docked there.
[33:45] Yes, they're docked.
[33:46] I'm talking in the grease.
[33:47] They're...
[33:48] They're...
[33:49] They're all...
[33:50] They're all...
[33:51] Yeah.
[33:52] They're all...
[33:53] Which you can see.
[33:54] Way down there.
[33:56] So this is the service staff at the top.
[33:58] And wait back there.
[33:59] That is the joint of another pipe that's actually all right.
[34:02] So almost a third of the pipe.
[34:06] So...
[34:07] That happens a lot in the clay.
[34:09] I'm here's another one.
[34:12] I'm worth the place.
[34:13] This broken part.
[34:14] So you can see the dirt actually there.
[34:16] So...
[34:17] And these sewer lines, no one would run.
[34:22] The majority of these were they understreets.
[34:25] They...
[34:26] Sidewalls.
[34:27] They...
[34:28] Under some streaks.
[34:29] And that's what we have.
[34:30] Yeah.
[34:31] That guy like Chris.
[34:32] I've most of you are actually running the alleys.
[34:34] So what's your name?
[34:35] Well, just cross your streaks.
[34:36] What's your run into the soul of erosion in alleys and the breakdown there?
[34:39] There's...
[34:40] Well get a call that there's a sinkhole there.
[34:42] Back there.
[34:43] We'll go out and see if they...
[34:45] So...
[34:46] I think so that's...
[34:50] That's the end.
[34:52] So in the prioritizing of these...
[34:54] Is it in...
[34:56] Correlation with the...
[34:58] Streaks projects that we are doing as well.
[35:01] Well, or some of that will not have a lot of lander street and they go dig it up.
[35:06] We're going to grab it all of our armor mains on the side of the street so we're not to go back.
[35:11] That's what we're talking about with less than, is one of the reasons you can come along on the pavement.
[35:16] Less than or so long is if the sewer water wants it in such a bad shape, you can get a repaid, you can probably be tearing it up again.
[35:24] So now that we've got the project going to replace the water sewer, once that's done,
[35:28] we'll be able to replace it and that must be wrong.
[35:31] So some of them do correlate like on the water side, that is a street project as well.
[35:37] So central is a perfect example to trap out is one of them.
[35:41] You should be northeast is also in that list.
[35:45] So those are all streets that were in street land.
[35:48] A lot of them though are mainly looking at the house safe visor system.
[35:53] If one of these goes down, what does that do in the rest of the system?
[35:58] So one.
[36:00] line is actually about on the 69-A, where your well is putting a tank out there, so that
[36:06] that could be a stand-alone system, and there is also another line that's later on in
[36:11] the priority list, and after we get the tank installed to connect another line back into that,
[36:16] to feed down the C-Lo and its underneath turn-by. So they all kind of have a list, so once we
[36:22] get the tank in place and we get that secondary connection, then we can go to the operations
[36:28] center and start redoing pipe and pipe, because you have a secondary water source in case
[36:33] something happens at the operations center and takes that off the line for us. So you can bring it
[36:38] online and then go work on the other. So Chris has worked great with us, making sure that we need
[36:44] to do this first and then this, and that way we can take these things offline, like you're all in
[36:51] it doesn't hurt us. Another question? So next steps, it says up there.
[37:09] Let me check with you. So next steps is, yeah, talking funding, going back,
[37:16] well then, seeing what great impacts that has, if we go with your deferring interest payments.
[37:24] Before we're going to, so at then, you know, we already have one major project I think we need to
[37:30] here, we'll need to start mining on the other side. So the next time this will be back, before the
[37:38] council will be January problem. At least. And I think we'll be lucky, Chris Jamford. So that's what I was saying
[37:47] earlier is that if we, especially if we used to stay funding, you know, it's time to get the funding
[37:54] approved, be being generic and all of that. Probably because of the year before that, actually,
[38:00] getting some things going. This is, it takes that amount off. And that's why I'm saying that people
[38:05] are going to be slowing down, and it can tolerate increases of water and sewer, other than the ones that
[38:10] are already on the road, it's significant. And probably doing a much smaller increment, that's what we're
[38:15] doing, that's what we're looking for, we're going to want large quantities. But remember, if you'd like to
[38:20] project it's too, it would be the name of the substations, but four million years ago. So there
[38:25] here's all the app, and that long issue is in the system. Okay. Questions? All right, great job, guys.
[38:34] Thank you. Yeah, thank you. A little final thing for anybody watching the newspaper and all that,
[38:38] and this is, it won't get any better. So, kind of this is something we actually had to do with any of
[38:45] the markets themselves. Okay. Thank you, guys.
[38:51] Thanks.
[38:52] And out of nine, there's new business and new business in the staff reports, so if I did it for available.
[39:00] 11 is trusty and easy announcements in the announcement to anyone. I don't promise the German, you have much to join the SUAV.
