The Board of Justice, the Board for the National Assembly. City Council meeting is third and may first come to mind about how it's been going out? Time has asked that as we've done this evening with Mr. Pupinand who bought a ticket if you had any discussion because earlier today at city clerk meetings in your name here... that I was supported by the Constitution of United States. The Court obeyed and became a constitution in United States And their constitutions are the state of Oklahoma In the cross-vitational state of Oklahoma Then, i will not notice if you receive directly or indirectly Relaxing about nothing Which is your act here in the right way Any many further valuable things For the performance or not, for performance of any after duty To obtain some purpose Really? Or on a moment to set up Any actor due to the commitment in my office Other than compensation allowed by law Rather then compensation allowable I further swear her return That i have faithfully discharged And why will pay fully discharge Accordingly to the best of liability The duty to the best of liability To do this is what I have The duty for my office During such time as i am a member During such times, i am a member And in the minority council In order to address these Of the minority's, especially so we are afforded Of the minority's special, particularly important Of the city that brings us from the public To the city and my normal Thank you We are in the board there I am really looking forward to seeing council On behalf of the state and the council On behalf of the state, the state and the council To represent tonight's presentation You can come here Yeah The purpose Of my hopefully great presentation To go over once again The results of the electric race that we have prepared for We had a critical to being in cities Of breaking soltings from last 20 years And this is about 4th or 5rd, and I would like For a lot information In presentation But i did include several slides And to further provide these support And means necessary for the rate plan We will recommend it for you tonight Obviously, it is never easy Talk about racing rates Whether they are electric water or wastewater Or any utility This has something people like You don't know if we must pay more For anything at anytime Or if you want to use the cities, take into consideration First we try to learn your utility like a business You will not be ready for all costs of providing that service Electric services is an economic Electricity has a product Just as I can McDonald's and for group or anything else And so they cost us sitting at my own Of certain amounting To produce this product And you are cost of losing less than one who is paying to produce it That's not good business for anybody Second rule, this a process that costs us Can we think about anything in the past and what today If I am 10 years ago Utility rates Are now immune To be able All those people will have to pay for all these costs It has an effect Go of any city To try to minimize or keep their rates as low As they possibly can But the popular and running utility has two balance The desire that keeps rates low With a need for investing your system And you continue to provide high level of service So, this is at A lowest rate is not always in best rates I work with many many utilities Over 200 utilities across the United States And I work for some utilities to have incredibly low rates But they had a low rate because They don't invest in their system So the quality of service and quality is deteriorating significantly That's not necessarily good way one money utility All these factors are going into The need To propose a new long-term electric break time But I would say that it really comes down to four factors There are more factors More than anything else So the driving need for underweight prices and inflation But cost of everything goes up 34% here Just do an inflation It's a reasonable perspective over time You're constantly going in high For those who have been living in low Second level, you buy your purchase power from GRDA In fact majority The cost of providing electric service Is due to the costs that you pay GRDA for their purchase power Guess what? There's a lot in the same rate increase this year And there are implementing 4% credit increases in 2026 and 2027 So, they're going raise no rates here Whether your grades or not If we have no choice To pass these costs over any customers And these higher rates Third reason is that you, the city plan Is on issue 28 million dollars a day To fund electric system capital infrastructure improvements Now good news That's not going to be better and more reliable All new service But What benefits of running utility boat The money in US can break their security To rent the back in city In terms of 28 million dollars So that's a third reason And fourth reason is You have got to grant for your A&I program The, unfortunately The grant doesn't cover all costs A
