[00:04] Dr. Kulu-Pu,
[00:06] Dr. Kulu,
[00:07] Congratulations to the 5th,
[00:08] The 9th and 7th of America.
[00:10] And to the Republic of which stands,
[00:13] Lineation,
[00:14] a new law,
[00:15] New University,
[00:16] and,
[00:17] Mr. Sura,
[00:18] thanks for the invitation.
[00:20] I am proud of the public and
[00:21] put on special personal services
[00:23] and the audits that were
[00:24] to address the authority
[00:26] on any of the agenda items.
[00:28] I don't know if five is concerned, Jim, the staff is recommending item six to ten for the
[00:34] consent agenda.
[00:35] There are no questions on either of them, so you have a motion and a second.
[00:42] Second.
[00:43] We'll call please.
[00:44] Johnson.
[00:45] Weston.
[00:46] Forester.
[00:47] Five.
[00:48] Lewis.
[00:49] High.
[00:50] High.
[00:51] Thank you.
[00:52] I don't know.
[00:53] Eleven.
[00:54] Electrical capital improvement.
[00:55] Budget amendment to include increasing.
[00:56] Electrical department by two FTEs.
[00:57] Tyler.
[00:58] Good.
[00:59] I know this is not the first time we've talked about this, but we're fresh our memory.
[01:03] Please.
[01:04] So if you remember back in the last year, we had Will the Empire in Trocambam, Dan Jackson,
[01:09] and do the presentation on the electric rating, as part of that injury, City prepare, we
[01:14] staffed and prepared a list of capital improvements in capital outlay items and also personnel.
[01:19] And we talked about two additional personnel for maintenance of the system.
[01:22] So tonight we're coming to you for approval for the two additional personnel and also for three
[01:28] capital outlay items, a service truck, a digger truck, and also a UTV, which there's
[01:34] some pictures of different things we want to do with them.
[01:38] And there's a slide with the actual price of each of them, or that anticipated price.
[01:43] So this particular agenda item is just the FTEs later on, we'll be addressing the capital
[01:50] and the FTEs tonight, so we would like to do it amendment for the two to budget.
[02:00] We're going to have to use this part of the number of people, so we can look at it.
[02:08] We've had it in 1996, 185 full-time, and then we have 33 part-time, and that's a ratio of 3 to 1.
[02:18] So right now we have 1096 full-time.
[02:21] So if we add it to full ton of boys, that would take us to 188.
[02:35] So, so B.C. on the slide at three of the breakdown of the two elements with their salary and benefits.
[02:41] And you sort of strike the digger truck in the UTV, which for the happy year of the 153,000 to our 50 dollars,
[02:48] and currently we are up to $175,000, based on the increase.
[03:00] with doing this, we would have a remaining revenue on 21,000.
[03:07] Any questions all this was in the budget?
[03:09] I just, the agenda item confused me a little bit,
[03:14] but it's in the VA that the equipment is part of this agenda item,
[03:20] which is not spelled out specifically in the language of the agenda item.
[03:24] Are you comfortable with that, man?
[03:26] OK.
[03:27] What, what, what do you TV be looking to need?
[03:31] Just one, I mean, you see a area that out of the display that our feeder lines down.
[03:35] We just didn't get a UTV, just to build a go down these areas in the spray.
[03:39] If you didn't go back to the slide, they've been shown in the areas that we've...
[03:42] So, for example, if you go out at one of these seconds,
[03:45] you see the trees that were getting to the power lines causing outages to end up short customers,
[03:49] we went in there, their track out, and...
[03:52] That was, that was the city doing that?
[03:54] Yes.
[03:55] How across the rubber tracks on the left side, okay?
[03:59] So, we're trying to have that service front of a store of customers up here there.
[04:04] So, we've been on the other area, I mean, this is there, that's a bit touched on a long time.
[04:08] So, once we go in there and clean it up, we would like to go in there with this UTV,
[04:11] it's spray to keep the trees from going back in there and just be there.
[04:15] So, that's how we fish out, so we'll keep it fish out.
[04:19] So, Vicky's sitting on the one and what's a UTV?
[04:22] I mean, I know what it is, but she was wondering, so...
[04:24] I mean, I'm thinking of something that's sprays things, and what's the people looking for?
[04:28] I'm wondering myself.
[04:29] Okay, so it is, if you've seen, like, there's different brands, but there's a cap, you said it,
[04:36] and then I have a bed on the back, which is the bed is where you put your spray tank, or whatever you want to use.
[04:41] So, like, G-O-D-A, they have a spray tank in the back of there, so they can just drive along the easement,
[04:45] just spray to kill the trees, keep the...
[04:47] So, it's a UTV V-Hick, all the way to the UTV, put a spray on the end.
[04:50] Yes, sir.
[04:52] There's all different brands, there's the layers, there's new, there's come to the end.
[04:56] Right.
[04:57] Okay.
[04:58] Any other questions?
[04:59] The additional truck that we're going to be getting, we're not taking the old one out.
[05:03] Yes, sir.
[05:04] It's pretty good.
[05:05] Both of those are on a plus, the additional one they've had, but we're out on the other side of
[05:08] my second last week with two deers, but in new pulses, part of the system maintenance, we're
[05:12] trying to do this year, so...
[05:13] I came to get a bit of this, it brings up to a hundred and ninety-eight, it's better than it's.
[05:21] What's our limit, sir?
[05:22] I'm sorry, because that's not just one of the three of just...
[05:25] Yes?
[05:26] I mean, if we had this, it's going to have to make sure that you're not going to be bothered.
[05:31] Okay.
[05:32] I just want to share what our ordinance said, if that's long, I guess it has been a little bit
[05:36] of time, but I think we're going to have to be able to have a proof of that.
[05:42] Okay.
[05:43] And all three of these pieces of equipment are new, right?
[05:46] Yes, sir.
[05:49] Okay.
[05:50] And so just to follow up on the old's point, by virtue of improving this, what are our raising the FTEs,
[05:56] you're going to bring another item before.
[06:00] Or is this in fact raising that level?
[06:02] Well, I think we're giving you a approval of this point
[06:05] and that we've got to make sure that we have
[06:08] the kind of our group level of the point that we're going to want.
[06:14] So, Kim, can you come back up with that?
[06:19] So, the evidence is that what was published in the budget
[06:24] cannot only be increased in a team that was by the council.
[06:28] So, my understanding has been correct.
[06:31] And if I'm wrong, I mean, it's that way you approving this,
[06:35] then that will increase our number to the 1.98.
[06:38] And that is covering the ordinance.
[06:39] It just says, it can't just be randomly increased
[06:42] without council.
[06:44] So, it's not like it's 1.95 and we have to do this and then
[06:48] vote to improve it to 1.97.
[06:50] We approve this.
[06:51] That raises that level.
[06:53] That's part of it.
[06:54] And I went back and wanted the budget before the meeting to make sure
[06:59] that is the right number.
[07:00] So, I mean, we read the reports.
[07:03] If you approve this, we'll be fine to be able to work the two of us.
[07:09] And with these two employees, Kim, they're going to be coming in
[07:12] at the bottom of their band and grade and they're going to work their way through
[07:16] just like any normal person being hired in a new position.
[07:19] So, I will say yes.
[07:20] The only exception to that would be that they would make an exception.
[07:24] Let's say we have alignment that maybe had 20 years of experience.
[07:29] The only exception can be made from the bottom is that we have somebody
[07:33] and then only somewhere between the bottom to the mid.
[07:36] Usually, that's not an almost situation.
[07:40] Usually, people come in at the bottom of the band.
[07:42] What?
[07:43] Association's wife is going to have a partnership, but it's really precious.
[07:46] And I think we've talked about trying to kind of grow.
[07:51] In the past, we've hired a lot of money and we're trying to talk about
[07:55] growing from within and trying to growing our own.
[07:59] That's one of the reasons that we've started doing this in the internship for Rams.
[08:03] The last couple years, thinking it will have some good.
[08:05] Yes.
[08:06] People come out of that.
[08:07] But that's what I want to do.
[08:10] The technical school and then came to us as a second year.
[08:13] And when you develop the grades and bands for this position a year or two ago,
[08:18] you took into account the current market rates.
[08:21] So, we should be competitive at entry level.
[08:24] And we're just now meeting this week on the reshaw of this hour study.
[08:32] But I can tell you from the information that we have there.
[08:37] Of course not.
[08:40] There's no problem.
[08:44] I'm not.
[08:45] All right.
[08:46] Not because there's just something you're wanting to feel right away.
[08:50] Yes, let's get the process started this first.
[08:52] Yeah, every time.
[08:53] Everything.
[08:54] With this, so you're just what you're saying is with the current.
[09:00] I'm going to go back to my slide here.
[09:05] Your numbers are okay because your revenues are up and you project them to stay out.
[09:10] And the revenues for the line, that's actually a journey of it.
[09:12] So if we hire a second year, then we can say we'll let you go.
[09:15] It all goes back because back to that meeting, I remember we talked about transfers and I'm
[09:20] always not on transfers and I, it's so easy to understand how transfers work, but it's
[09:26] you take from one for so much and then they don't have anything, so I feel good that
[09:30] our, this number will be, we want to make sure that the revenues coming in will be
[09:36] covered.
[09:37] Okay.
[09:38] I just don't have to say any sort of, right, and I just, that's what I don't want to get into,
[09:43] transfer this, transfer this out of the utilities department that we've went and asked
[09:47] and we're going to do a bond on and now we're, so I just want to make sure we're going in
[09:51] the right direction.
[09:52] So we can lay this kind of view itself.
[09:57] And the revenue will continue to come in to pay the remaining years to go down the line to pay
[10:01] for the salary and the least fees of all this equipment.
[10:05] Okay.
[10:06] Okay.
[10:07] And the source of the increased revenues is the rating increase that we have proved based
[10:11] on the world and study.
[10:12] Sorry.
[10:13] But I remember one of the reasons we called off is we didn't rate increase, so we had to be asked
[10:18] to go to the bottom, so even with the rate increase, we didn't have the revenue for what's
[10:23] gone.
[10:24] But now we're kind of, we're to the level of whether we're starting to see the revenue coming.
[10:29] For you, if you don't want that, make sure that we have the revenue gone.
[10:34] Were you a fully staff career right now?
[10:36] We have six right now.
[10:37] Is that, were you need to pay?
[10:39] I don't think so.
[10:40] I mean, the full higher in these two, are you?
[10:41] You are really low.
[10:42] We are very low.
[10:43] I mean, we're going to make a bunch of questions.
[10:45] What do you want six?
[10:46] And you have six.
[10:47] Yes, sir.
[10:48] Okay.
[10:49] And this will now we're looking at authorized AA.
[10:52] Okay.
[10:53] Okay.
[10:55] So for the proof is, we're approving the, the, the two addition.
[11:01] The two addition left to ease is when we need further action by the council required for
[11:06] that to happen for that limit to increase, so to speak, and also the three pieces of equipment.
[11:13] Do we have a motion?
[11:14] I'll make a motion.
[11:15] And a second?
[11:16] A second.
[11:17] Roll call, please.
[11:18] Four, sir.
[11:19] All right.
[11:20] Lewis, I, Weston, Johnson.
[11:21] Show.
[11:22] Bye.
[11:23] Thank you.
[11:24] Thank you.
[11:25] Any new business?
[11:26] Any other business?
[11:28] Staff report during your pocket?
[11:31] Any community announcements?
[11:34] Do we have a motion to join?
