02:40First National Bank
02:42Item number 7
02:44These are
02:46Last year we were kind of on a short
02:49Time line to get these contracts in front
02:52Of you and because
02:54The change over, We've had
02:56And customer service
02:59So
03:01Going out
03:03To reach the other banks here in town
03:07They are opportunity
03:12But they do have great job for us
03:14We're going to start with the first one
03:19Second
03:21Second
03:24Second
03:26Second
03:28Second
03:30Second
03:32Third
03:34Second
03:36Second
03:38Second
03:42Second
03:44Second
03:52Second
03:56Second
03:59Third
04:02Second
04:07Second
05:00Second
05:16Second
05:30So you need to get our rates looked at, see what that will do
05:39into R8.
05:40And then we're going for a year and the next three years
05:47also everybody should have in front of them
05:49packet they show me some different things so I know
05:54could be clear now people say it's because
05:56if there are lots
05:59people that are in the whole self-transmission.
06:01So if you see your complaints,
06:04just keep us from going through R8 or less
06:06yeah so we're
06:08and Colse L transmission
06:10We've got a transmission line to feed our substations
06:14And then how do they get out of power?
06:16There's other cities there also
06:17In net will be at 4% increase
06:21about not just the city environment
06:27The DRA is my suitiveness
06:28priorities
06:28They have probably been an investor part
06:31and the packet I also included
06:38their rating increases that they're talking about
06:41how it's broken on
06:42by different rate classes
06:48as a household is just in
06:49process of updating their track now
06:51because
06:56Another information
06:57On us being currently
06:58In contract with GRDA
07:00Is there an extended amount
07:01A time for one of your contracts
07:02within?
07:0820.
07:0920, 40 years
07:1020 to 30
07:11We know
07:26How much profit
07:27JRJL
07:28is a last year
07:31we've wrapped up
07:32at the same level
07:50So this rates study
07:51To find out if we sit in the this
07:53bracket?
07:54Now, diverse of our rates
07:55and you get just our rate
07:56to give us a couple
07:57of person increase
07:59because what we're going
08:00at JRJL is
08:01We are gonna have
08:02to subsidize it somehow
08:06They increased for GD
08:07And also other data
08:08I think they need to get our
08:09wire and Syracuse
08:13that too.
08:14You see when people sitting on our account
08:16don't bring up their list
08:17or do things next
08:18That's where rating increases
08:20Year days
08:26Doing which will happen
08:27so then can update
08:29through whatever
08:31It should be
08:32When does
08:33The first GRDA
08:33We've talked over first
08:39Of the following years
08:40The last year
08:41And I mean you know
08:42Obviously it's never
08:43good times
08:44At least if we would be in
08:46Call
08:47Another interest is
08:48If they wanted to do that
08:49In a summer when
08:50When
08:54It was
08:56You're exposed
08:59Follow
09:00What did he say?
09:01He has talk about that
09:56So,
09:57Action on and here
09:58We are voting
09:59To have Willband
10:00Do as
10:01Great Study
10:03Yes sir
10:04Posted the cost of
10:0526000
10:06So
10:10Call that study
10:11Take
10:15You can get on the
10:25Yeah
10:26I just asked them to rate
10:27The number of people
10:28They are different
10:30Right
10:42So if i was an outside
10:43Or looking at it
10:44Would be thinking
10:45We're going
10:46To spend money
10:47Because we have
10:48More money
10:49Just spending more
10:51Money
10:52When our citizens
10:53Are getting charged
10:54More money
10:56From
10:57Not just us
11:00But GRDA
11:01That makes sense
11:04For
11:05And that's
11:06Perspective
11:07It is
11:08We are going to
11:09Our GRDA rates
11:10So you guys want
11:11To see if
11:12You wanted
11:13Raise our other
11:15Rates as well
11:16And we're gonna pay
11:17Get that
11:18Study done

14:56Mayor and Council
