[02:40] First National Bank
[02:42] Item number 7
[02:44] These are
[02:46] Last year we were kind of on a short
[02:49] Time line to get these contracts in front
[02:52] Of you and because
[02:54] The change over, We've had
[02:56] And customer service
[02:59] So
[03:01] Going out
[03:03] To reach the other banks here in town
[03:07] They are opportunity
[03:12] But they do have great job for us
[03:14] We're going to start with the first one
[03:19] Second
[03:21] Second
[03:24] Second
[03:26] Second
[03:28] Second
[03:30] Second
[03:32] Third
[03:34] Second
[03:36] Second
[03:38] Second
[03:42] Second
[03:44] Second
[03:52] Second
[03:56] Second
[03:59] Third
[04:02] Second
[04:07] Second
[05:00] Second
[05:16] Second
[05:30] So you need to get our rates looked at, see what that will do
[05:39] into R8.
[05:40] And then we're going for a year and the next three years
[05:47] also everybody should have in front of them
[05:49] packet they show me some different things so I know
[05:54] could be clear now people say it's because
[05:56] if there are lots
[05:59] people that are in the whole self-transmission.
[06:01] So if you see your complaints,
[06:04] just keep us from going through R8 or less
[06:06] yeah so we're
[06:08] and Colse L transmission
[06:10] We've got a transmission line to feed our substations
[06:14] And then how do they get out of power?
[06:16] There's other cities there also
[06:17] In net will be at 4% increase
[06:21] about not just the city environment
[06:27] The DRA is my suitiveness
[06:28] priorities
[06:28] They have probably been an investor part
[06:31] and the packet I also included
[06:38] their rating increases that they're talking about
[06:41] how it's broken on
[06:42] by different rate classes
[06:48] as a household is just in
[06:49] process of updating their track now
[06:51] because
[06:56] Another information
[06:57] On us being currently
[06:58] In contract with GRDA
[07:00] Is there an extended amount
[07:01] A time for one of your contracts
[07:02] within?
[07:08] 20.
[07:09] 20, 40 years
[07:10] 20 to 30
[07:11] We know
[07:26] How much profit
[07:27] JRJL
[07:28] is a last year
[07:31] we've wrapped up
[07:32] at the same level
[07:50] So this rates study
[07:51] To find out if we sit in the this
[07:53] bracket?
[07:54] Now, diverse of our rates
[07:55] and you get just our rate
[07:56] to give us a couple
[07:57] of person increase
[07:59] because what we're going
[08:00] at JRJL is
[08:01] We are gonna have
[08:02] to subsidize it somehow
[08:06] They increased for GD
[08:07] And also other data
[08:08] I think they need to get our
[08:09] wire and Syracuse
[08:13] that too.
[08:14] You see when people sitting on our account
[08:16] don't bring up their list
[08:17] or do things next
[08:18] That's where rating increases
[08:20] Year days
[08:26] Doing which will happen
[08:27] so then can update
[08:29] through whatever
[08:31] It should be
[08:32] When does
[08:33] The first GRDA
[08:33] We've talked over first
[08:39] Of the following years
[08:40] The last year
[08:41] And I mean you know
[08:42] Obviously it's never
[08:43] good times
[08:44] At least if we would be in
[08:46] Call
[08:47] Another interest is
[08:48] If they wanted to do that
[08:49] In a summer when
[08:50] When
[08:54] It was
[08:56] You're exposed
[08:59] Follow
[09:00] What did he say?
[09:01] He has talk about that
[09:56] So,
[09:57] Action on and here
[09:58] We are voting
[09:59] To have Willband
[10:00] Do as
[10:01] Great Study
[10:03] Yes sir
[10:04] Posted the cost of
[10:05] 26000
[10:06] So
[10:10] Call that study
[10:11] Take
[10:15] You can get on the
[10:25] Yeah
[10:26] I just asked them to rate
[10:27] The number of people
[10:28] They are different
[10:30] Right
[10:42] So if i was an outside
[10:43] Or looking at it
[10:44] Would be thinking
[10:45] We're going
[10:46] To spend money
[10:47] Because we have
[10:48] More money
[10:49] Just spending more
[10:51] Money
[10:52] When our citizens
[10:53] Are getting charged
[10:54] More money
[10:56] From
[10:57] Not just us
[11:00] But GRDA
[11:01] That makes sense
[11:04] For
[11:05] And that's
[11:06] Perspective
[11:07] It is
[11:08] We are going to
[11:09] Our GRDA rates
[11:10] So you guys want
[11:11] To see if
[11:12] You wanted
[11:13] Raise our other
[11:15] Rates as well
[11:16] And we're gonna pay
[11:17] Get that
[11:18] Study done
[11:19] If
[11:20] That's what it looks like
[11:21] I know
[11:26] It is
[11:27] Is
[11:28] It
[11:29] Is
[11:30] We have
[11:31] The
[11:34] Let me ask
[11:35] If
[11:36] We just raised
[11:37] Rates
[14:54] We have a pretty
[14:56] Mayor and Council
[14:57] Periodically we need to change
[14:59] Our auditing service
[15:00] To get new insight
[15:01] Perspective
[15:02] And our financial statements
[15:04] We saw proposals
[15:06] For year ending June 30, 2024
[15:08] Uh
[15:09] We sent out
[15:10] Request for proposals
[15:11] To 15 different accounting firms

[15:24] From thinly and cook
[15:26] That
[15:27] We weren't able to
[15:28] Put into the process
[15:30] Our evaluation checklist
[15:32] Show that
[15:33] HPC
[15:34] Score 101 points

[15:47] Came
[15:48] At
