WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.259 April 24th 2017, Public Utilities Board meeting to order. 00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:10.080 Our first item on our 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.669 agenda is to hold a public hearing regarding and consider 00:00:15.669 --> 00:00:16.280 making a 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.920 recommendation to adopt a resolution for proposed 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.199 construction expansion and use 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:27.199 of a transmission power line located in Bernard and Eagle 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:28.899 Drive. So I thank 00:00:28.899 --> 00:00:36.560 Brian is going to lead us in this the presentation. 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.719 All right good morning board members. I'd like to take just 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:45.719 a minute to give a 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.950 quick overview of this Eagle Locust transmission line 00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:51.560 project to remind you 00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.770 this is generally on the south side of town, south of 00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:56.840 downtown and then southeast 00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.109 of the University of North Texas campus. Those who were at 00:01:01.109 --> 00:01:02.039 the public hearing 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.090 will be familiar with this graph that shows the load growth 00:01:05.090 --> 00:01:05.959 in Denton over the 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.620 last 50 or 60 years. This is no surprise to anyone who's 00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:10.560 been here any amount of 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.540 time as we've had new residents come in and new businesses 00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:14.920 come into town. It's 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.629 certainly there's been a corresponding growth in the amount 00:01:17.629 --> 00:01:18.760 of electricity we've 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.140 used. It's our responsibility as the electric provider in 00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:24.000 town to anticipate 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.299 that growth and to plan for it to make sure that we have 00:01:26.299 --> 00:01:27.439 good reliability and of 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.250 course this is nowhere as true as it is in this downtown 00:01:30.250 --> 00:01:31.480 area where you've had 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.250 infill development and the University continues to grow. We 00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:35.480 had an open house 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.359 on this project about a month ago and based on the 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.359 information and discussions 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.659 that we had in that meeting and also just looking at the 00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:44.280 the facts of the 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.560 project DME recommends rebuilding this line in its existing 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:48.319 route and its 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.030 existing alignment. With that said we did propose an 00:01:52.030 --> 00:01:53.920 alternative route and that's 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.269 certainly still a viable route so while we recommend one 00:01:56.269 --> 00:01:57.079 and I'll give some 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.260 specific reasons for that recommendation none of that's to 00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:00.879 say that the other 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.459 route isn't viable indeed it is. So here's the two routes 00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:06.400 that we're 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.129 discussing and this connects the Locust substation which is 00:02:09.129 --> 00:02:10.039 currently under 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.560 construction just just off this map to the to the right 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:14.919 there with the Eagle 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.349 substation which is soon to be constructed. You can see 00:02:17.349 --> 00:02:18.039 that these two 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.189 routes share an alignment as they cross Carroll Boulevard 00:02:21.189 --> 00:02:22.120 but then as they get to 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.330 Cleveland Street the yellow route goes up to the north and 00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:25.599 along Eagle whereas 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.490 the blue route stays in its existing alignment going up 00:02:29.490 --> 00:02:32.080 Bernard Street. There 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.379 are a few advantages to leaving it in its existing 00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:35.560 alignment one of those is 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.860 certainly the landowners who are currently affected are 00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:38.639 already affected 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.960 by it. They already see this in their in their area and 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:42.360 when I say 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.840 affected let me be clear we're not anticipating removing 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:45.680 any structures or 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.280 relocating any individuals as part of this project so the 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:50.240 the effect is more 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.240 aesthetic than anything. There are also fewer landowners 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:54.520 that will be affected by 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.919 that existing blue route it'll be 3 versus 11 on the on the 00:02:58.919 --> 00:02:59.680 yellow route. Now 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.370 the one of the issues there is the more landowners we deal 00:03:02.370 --> 00:03:03.360 with the longer it 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.669 would tend to take and the longer before the project was 00:03:05.669 --> 00:03:07.439 completed. Fewer trees 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.210 would be removed on that blue route versus the yellow route 00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:11.599 . Seven trees we 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.530 anticipate having to remove on the blue route and 25 on the 00:03:14.530 --> 00:03:15.319 yellow route so 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.710 there's an advantage there and finally these two routes are 00:03:17.710 --> 00:03:18.360 about the same 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.300 distance or right around 3,000 feet but nevertheless that 00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:23.560 yellow route has a 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.069 couple of extra corner poles and there's a premium that 00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:27.199 comes with those so we 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.729 expect a higher expense. Well unless otherwise directed we 00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:32.560 'll plan to have a 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.340 public hearing in about a month from today with the City 00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:37.000 Council and I'll put 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.800 that map back up in case you have any questions for me. 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.560 Okay any members have 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.000 questions Brian? 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.610 The just one question on the on the blue route the is there 00:03:53.610 --> 00:03:56.159 an expanded easement 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.259 required? Yes sir that's that's a great question so this is 00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:00.520 changing from a 69 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.069 to 138 KB and with that comes an expanded easement. Okay so 00:04:04.069 --> 00:04:04.800 there'll be 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.840 some right-of-way acquisition there? Yes sir that's right. 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:07.680 For those property. 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:19.089 Either route we take will have to require easements. Okay 00:04:19.089 --> 00:04:19.519 and the just to 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.480 click just to make sure the decision has been made to do 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.959 gas insulation at this 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.879 point. Yes sir. At the corner. That's correct the Eagle 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:31.879 substation we're 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.720 moving forward with the gas insulated substation. Okay. 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.800 That's right. Okay any 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:44.060 other questions? Thank you Brian appreciate it. We do have 00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:45.480 one request to 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:56.040 speak Steve Stone is here Steve. Just state your name and 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:56.920 address into the 00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:05.160 microphone please. Steve Stone I'm 6827 Freeman Road in Cr 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:06.600 um. Essentially I 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:12.180 represent the owner of this of the track at the substation 00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:13.920 location. Have for the 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.959 entire time went through the previous hearings and so forth 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.680 that that actually 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:26.269 caused that that station to be selected. So I only signed 00:05:26.269 --> 00:05:28.360 up to try to decide if 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.850 if I really wanted to say anything. I went to the meeting 00:05:31.850 --> 00:05:32.879 and I thought that 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:38.480 the yellow route was the better route. But having to 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.279 establish new right away 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.180 the loss of new trees may mitigate that thought a little 00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:47.360 bit. So you know I might 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:55.750 really be amenable in my mind. It doesn't matter to us who 00:05:55.750 --> 00:05:56.959 have the the corner 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:03.199 substation it doesn't matter. It seems like to me it's more 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:04.480 I want to say 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:11.040 commercially applicable because you're going from what what 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.279 what is the the 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:20.879 size of a line going for up to 137. Okay I guess my only 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.000 thought and since none of 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.889 the residents are here no one else is here to speak for 00:06:25.889 --> 00:06:27.000 them is that you're 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:34.480 going to increase that that electrical I guess radiation if 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:35.639 we should use that 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.600 word in this meeting. You're going to be even closer to 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.000 those those town homes 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.050 that are going to be right there along Collins. The ones on 00:06:45.050 --> 00:06:46.519 Cleveland Street 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.120 sit back off of the road. I did understand there was an 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.319 additional 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.310 mitigated expense for probably an anchor corner post or 00:06:55.310 --> 00:06:57.639 something to that effect. 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:02.079 So I guess I'm speaking on behalf of the general public at 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:03.920 this point but only to 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:10.240 say I think the yellow line is a if new acquisition has to 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.439 be acquired for the 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:19.019 blue line then I would think the yellow line would be more 00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:20.720 applicable. It's at 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.790 least to live with if I live there you know hopefully there 00:07:25.790 --> 00:07:26.759 'll be no puppies 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.319 being born with five legs or anything there. So being so 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.480 close to that line and 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:38.680 it's going to increase the radio effect if there is such a 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.240 thing. I know that I 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.810 was blessed to get with the sub to get blessed with a subst 00:07:46.810 --> 00:07:48.560 ation almost in my 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.720 front yard out in Crum which I don't know what you guys 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:54.839 call that station out 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.939 there. What do you call that station out there? Not that 00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:00.600 one the one way west. 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.350 Oh that's an encore substation. My apologies. Your 00:08:04.350 --> 00:08:06.879 competitors slipped in 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:10.500 across the street from a piece of land that I like a lot. 00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:12.160 Part of my my rural 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:17.810 homestead but anyway we hear the hum at night you know and 00:08:17.810 --> 00:08:19.480 I know there's going 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.620 to be some effect that this is going to have on this 00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:23.839 neighborhood. So I think the 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.720 only thing I can really say without saying really anything 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:27.720 this is going to 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:35.240 affect a neighborhood. So do anything possible to possibly 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:36.879 mitigate and 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.090 reduce the effect that it would have on personal lives. 00:08:40.090 --> 00:08:41.399 That's pretty much it. 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:47.320 Okay. Thank you. Any questions? Yeah. That's what I was 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.919 gonna say. Any questions? 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:56.080 No. Thank you. No thank you. Thanks for coming down. Okay 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.559 is there anyone else I don't 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.360 see anyone else from the public for comments but I'll go 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:02.519 ahead and make the 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:11.320 ask and I'll ask again if there are any other comments from 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.000 the public that so 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.269 seeing none and we have no other cards for request to speak 00:09:20.269 --> 00:09:21.840 or indication of 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:30.120 for against or so we will close the public hearing portion 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:31.480 of this agenda 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:43.350 item and comments from the utilities board members. Still 00:09:43.350 --> 00:09:47.159 no comment. All right 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:53.889 then is there is there a recommendation to make an action 00:09:53.889 --> 00:09:55.440 to make recommendation 00:09:55.440 --> 00:10:01.039 to the council on which of these which of these routes 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.919 would be we feel be best. 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.679 I'd recommend to go with the blue. It's impacting the few 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.480 est people. It's the 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.360 lowest cost and it doesn't cut down as many trees so that I 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.559 would move to go 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:18.080 with that recommendation. Second. Okay so we have a motion 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:19.200 and a second that we 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.759 make a recommendation that the blue route be chosen as a 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:23.639 route of the 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:32.200 transmission line. Any discussion on that? Comments? Nope. 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:33.440 Hearing none all in favor 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:41.720 say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Same sign. Okay thank you. 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:51.549 Okay next item we have is our consent agenda. We have looks 00:10:51.549 --> 00:10:54.519 like five items on 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.480 the consent agenda. Items ABC D&E. Is there any member who 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:02.039 'd like to pull any 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.159 of these items for individual consideration? 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.570 No. Hearing none then is there a motion to approve the 00:11:18.570 --> 00:11:19.960 consent agenda as 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:24.519 presented? Move approval. We have a motion from Barbara. 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.600 Second. Second from Susan. Any 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:33.200 discussion? Hearing none all in favor say aye. Aye. Any 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.720 opposed? Same sign. Okay at 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:48.279 this time we have an item for a closed meeting so we will 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:49.960 go into closed 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:58.490 meeting at looks like it's about 12 minutes after 9 and ask 00:11:58.490 --> 00:11:58.519 everybody 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:04.909 anybody who is does anything to do with the items being 00:12:04.909 --> 00:12:05.879 presented 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:17.340 at 936 and under items for individual individual 00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:19.759 consideration item a is to 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.740 consider approval of the public utilities board meeting 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:23.799 minutes of April 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:29.919 10th 2017. These have been distributed in advance and would 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:30.679 ask if there's 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:38.750 any comments questions changes to those minutes. Move 00:12:38.750 --> 00:12:44.320 approval. That's okay but I 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:48.919 appreciate the thought. Hearing none those will be approved 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.720 as submitted then. Item 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:55.559 item B is to consider recommending to the City Council the 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:56.539 adoption of an 00:12:56.539 --> 00:13:00.509 ordinance authorizing the City Manager or his designee to 00:13:00.509 --> 00:13:01.759 execute an amendment 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:07.360 to the energy trading risk management contract with ABB V 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:12.120 intex. Yes Dr. Lance 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.799 Cunningham will present that. 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:28.509 So we're here to discuss the ABB Vintex energy trading risk 00:13:28.509 --> 00:13:29.559 management contract 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:37.820 amendment approval. The current system that we have for 00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:39.320 energy trading risk 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:44.919 management software we purchased in June of 2014 and it was 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:46.600 procured through a 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.539 competitive bidding process. In January the council 00:13:50.539 --> 00:13:52.519 provided direction for the 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.269 renewable dentin plan to move to 70% so it's you know 00:13:57.269 --> 00:13:58.480 considerable time later. 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:04.379 The existing system is not flexible enough or robust enough 00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:05.279 for us to 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.860 utilize when we move to our renewable dentin plan. The 00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:10.759 reason is is because of 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:14.480 the protocol requirements with ERCOT whenever we have our 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.559 wind assets and our 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.120 solar assets we have operationally have to do a lot of 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:20.519 changes, hourly changes 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.039 and the existing system is just not flexible enough to be 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:24.720 able to handle 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.759 that variability. Are there any questions over that? 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.399 Because of this the staff is 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:36.779 recommended that the Public Utilities Board consider 00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:37.559 recommendation 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.360 authorizing the City Manager to amend the contract between 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.559 the City of Denton 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:53.120 and ABB Vintex. Questions? The was there a second slide in 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.200 there? That's all of 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:03.629 this. Okay so I thought we had the the one that had the the 00:15:03.629 --> 00:15:06.240 savings and the 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:15.629 cost and the continued cost. Page three. Oh I'm sorry I 00:15:15.629 --> 00:15:17.080 skipped a page. 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:23.509 My apologies. Once we move to the renewable dentin plan we 00:15:23.509 --> 00:15:24.480 'll have a much 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.190 larger volume of transactions because of the way the 00:15:28.190 --> 00:15:30.159 variability of the wind and 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:35.730 solar assets will be coming in and in working with with ABB 00:15:35.730 --> 00:15:37.080 Vintex there's 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.289 the existing software we have now is an older piece of 00:15:40.289 --> 00:15:41.919 software. They do not 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.220 anticipate spending any more development dollars to bring 00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:46.440 that up to kind of more 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.990 of a modern standard. They're developing a different 00:15:49.990 --> 00:15:51.039 product that they're going 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:57.580 to utilize so in working with them and having conversations 00:15:57.580 --> 00:15:58.200 with them over 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.029 the last three years it's it's become evident it's just not 00:16:03.029 --> 00:16:03.480 going to meet our 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.919 needs moving forward. This software is our system of record 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:08.440 for all of our 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.409 transactions and the best analogy I can come up with is it 00:16:12.409 --> 00:16:14.080 's very similar to JD 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.580 Edwards that the city uses for its accounting system. That 00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:18.840 's the city's 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.610 official you know system of record for all of our financial 00:16:22.610 --> 00:16:23.840 s and this is the 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:28.009 EMO system of record for transactions and related financial 00:16:28.009 --> 00:16:29.679 s. The original 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:36.769 contract price was 1.6 million and what we've paid to date 00:16:36.769 --> 00:16:40.159 is 971,000. The cost 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.159 to amend the contract or shorten the contract terminate it 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.000 whatever the term 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:53.059 you'd like to use there is $204,000. The savings so if you 00:16:53.059 --> 00:16:56.320 take the the 971 and 00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:01.070 add the 204 that we would continue to pay then that 00:17:01.070 --> 00:17:03.279 approximately 1.1 million 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.599 compared to that 1.6 it'd be 443. So that's that's where 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.759 the saving comes 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:13.799 from and out of the 204 it's probably important to point 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.480 out that of that six 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.569 months of that would be it's a prorated share of the annual 00:17:19.569 --> 00:17:21.720 fee. We currently pay 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:27.480 about 280 thousand dollars so 140 of the 204 is just what 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.440 we would have spent 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:38.480 anyway it's just a six month prorated share. Questions on 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.960 that? Comments? Just to 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.529 clarify so we're getting value for the 204,000. Yes ma'am. 00:17:45.529 --> 00:17:46.200 We're getting value. 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.349 Yes ma'am. We will continue to use that software until a 00:17:50.349 --> 00:17:51.440 replacement is 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.960 implemented. Thank you. Yes ma'am. Okay thank you. That's 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.960 good. Thanks for making 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:06.789 that. Any other questions? Okay. Is there a recommendation 00:18:06.789 --> 00:18:08.519 or motion on this on 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:15.779 this agenda? Adam? I'll move approval. I second. Motion 00:18:15.779 --> 00:18:18.640 from Susan and second from 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:26.519 Charlie to approve and recommend we do this amendment. Any 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.640 discussion? All in 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:35.220 favor say aye. Any opposed? Same sign. Okay thank you. 00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:35.839 Thank you for your 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:43.220 consideration. Thank you. All right item number item C is 00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:47.039 the ACM update and we 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:52.880 have the comparisons of employment metrics for water, 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:53.720 wastewater and also 00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:04.000 DME attached. Questions on that? Comments? I appreciate 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:06.279 seeing that done. It took me 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.920 a little bit to follow it because there's a lot of 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:11.279 information there but I 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.279 was very pleased and thank you so much. I know staff worked 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.480 a lot on that and I 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:22.069 appreciate that. Thank you. Yeah it's hard it's hard to 00:19:22.069 --> 00:19:23.960 bring apples, bananas 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.910 and kiwi and make them look all look like oranges. I 00:19:26.910 --> 00:19:29.039 understand that and no 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.599 utility looks the same and so that that's a difficult part. 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:33.240 You can't just 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.170 look at the raw look at the raw numbers and make a draw 00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:39.720 really a very well very 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:44.430 good conclusion but anyway. I'd like to just make you also 00:19:44.430 --> 00:19:44.960 aware that we're 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.680 planning a same similar report for solid waste. It wasn't 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.680 quite ready at the time 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.609 we wanted to go ahead and get this information to you so to 00:19:51.609 --> 00:19:52.400 the point from 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.140 the last meeting we're going to provide that as well. It 00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:56.559 should be coming next 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:02.440 meeting. Okay thank you. Okay we also have the new business 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:08.039 metrics. Any additions to that? Any member would like to 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:11.880 make? Okay if not 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:24.490 then we have concluding items to come before the board. If 00:20:24.490 --> 00:20:26.960 not is there a 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:35.759 motion to adjourn? Motion by Lillia. Second? By Charlie. 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.920 All in favor say aye. 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:43.839 Aye. Any opposed? Thank you. Thanks guys.
