ruthner.
D
800,
are
there
any
board
members
who
would
like
to
consider
any
of
these
items
separately.
A
A
To
the
to
the
city
council,
sorry,
so
I
do
want
to
put
a
little
bit
of
order
in
this
so
that
we.
A
A
A
A
The
vic
to
be
able
vic
and
staff
to
be
able
to
give
their
report
in
its
entire
the
import
in.
A
A
A
A
Questions
from
the
public
we,
we
may
put
a
time
limit
on
it,
but
we'll
just
kind
of
see
how
things.
A
A
D
D
D
Craig
lotz
and
jennifer
wilson
from
crow
who
did
the
financial
analysis
and
mark
beauchamp.
D
From
utility
finance
ufs,
what
is
the
ass
systems
services
anyway?
Their
mark
is
here
as
well.
D
D
D
The
linear
infrastructure,
that's
the
buried
pipes
and
pumps
and
valves
and
so
forth,
and
we're.
D
D
Okay,
we're
we
we're
spending
about
1.7
million
dollars
per
year
on
water
main
replacement.
D
D
D
D
Obviously,
vehicle
reassessment
and
so
forth,
we've
done
solar
panel
projects
through
all.
D
D
In
finance,
the
big
thing
has
been
ami,
but
we've
also
done
a
number
of
other
cost-saving.
D
Measures
so
you
can.
We
can
talk
more
in
detail
about
these
if
anyone
wishes
to
at
the
end.
D
So
the
question
is:
why
do
a
rate
case
now?
The
first
k
reason
is
that
council
asked
us
to
do
it.
D
D
Ago,
the
other
thing
is
that
we're
we've
this
year,
we've
we
we
know,
we've
got.
D
The
end
of
our
rate
cycle,
so
after
four
years
of
of
increasing
operation
and
maintenance
costs.
D
D
One
of
the
things
that's
important
is
when
you
bring
a
ray
case.
It
has
to
go
through
for
water.
D
Commission
a
case
that
we
bring
to
the
commission
anytime,
you
do
a
raid
case.
It's
based
on
a
test.
D
Year,
that's
supposed
to
be
representative
of
your
your
financials.
We
we
set
up
our
test
year
to.
D
End
on
march
31st
2020
after
that
the
rest
of
2020
was
anything
but
representative.
So.
D
Since
iurc
wants
the
test
year
to
be
within
a
year
of
when
we
bring
the
case,
we're
kind
of.
D
At
the
at
the
end
of
our
time
for
this
so
we're
trying
to
get
this
submitted
to
the
commission
by.
D
A
brief
illustration
of
of
the
o
m
inflation:
you
can
see
salaries
and
wages
have
been
going
up.
D
Have
increased
substantially,
we
also
have
capital
plans
for
the
coming
year.
The
big
big
items.
D
Especially
in
the
summertime,
we
are
far
overdue
for
a
filter
media
replacement.
That's
about.
D
Than
to
have
to
do
any
major
new
increases
in
in
real
terms,
we're
also
continuing
to
plan
for.
D
The
utilities,
as
all
again
I
have
the
the
capital
replacement
plan
here.
I
won't
go
into.
D
Submit
which
essentially
gets
us
just
to
the
end
of
2021
or
maybe
early
in
2022.,.
D
So
from
if
you're,
if,
if
you're
handicapping,
I
would
think
right
around
the
beginning
of
2022.
D
Increase
o
m
expenses
and
then
funding
for
the
ami
and
solar
leases.
The
second
phase
would
be
ext.
D
There's
an
overview
of
the
revenue
requirements
here.
If
there
are
questions
detailed
questions.
D
So
overall,
this
rate
case
is
a
22.2
percent
increase
in
revenues
that
is
distributed.
D
D
D
D
And
that
will
be
all
reflected
in
the
in
the
cost
of
providing
the
service
to
each
of
the.
D
Compared
to
their
cost
of
service,
all
our
other
customer
classes
are
relatively
underpriced.
D
The
industrial,
the
commercial,
the
institutional
and
irrigation
and
wholesale.
D
For
residential
and
multifamily
is
3.73
cents
after
two
phases
it
would
go
up.
D
Commercial
governmental
and
interdepartmental
would
be
our
increase
of
33
percent
industrial.
D
Be
about
33
percent
for
indiana
university
would
be
about
40
percent
and
the
irrigation
it.
D
D
And
our
largest
demand
days
are
in
the
summertime
when
there's
a
lot
of
watering
going
on.
D
The
built
infrastructure
and
the
plant
it
has
been
built
to
supply
that
extra.
D
D
D
D
D
At
the
end
of
phase,
two
would
be
paying
the
same
rate
as
the
commercial.
D
So
this
is
our
proposed
rate
schedule.
We
would
be
seeing
for
residential.
D
The
meter
and
the
fire
protection:
don't
don't
grow
that
much
for
commercial
governmental.
D
And
inter-departmental
it
would
total
out
to
a
32.9
percent
increase,
which
is
comparable.
D
D
They
would
be
paying
the
same,
the
same
per
thousand
gallons
as
commercial
and
governmental.
D
D
D
All
of
that
into
account
our
our
residential
customers
would
experience
a
an
increase
from
of.
D
3.74
sorry
3.74
cents
per
month
for
three
and
a
half
for
three
for
3500
gallons
of
usage.
D
Of
three
dollars
sixteen
cents
per
month
for
a
home,
that's
served
with
a
three
quarter.
Inch
meter.
D
Is
twenty
six
dollars
and
fifty
cents
it
would
increase
us
from
being
at
the
top
of
the
bottom.
D
Quarter
to
just
below
the
midpoint
statewide,
but
you'll
notice
that
three
of
the
utilities.
D
D
Meetings
with
for
with
indiana
university,
we
had
a
meeting
for
our
wholesale
customers.
D
D
Here's
our
calendar
for
the
whole
process.
You
can
see
right
now
we're
on
usb
final
action.
D
On
for
january
19th,
assuming
this
is
approved
in
some
form
tonight,
it
would
go
to
council
for.
D
First
week
of
march
after
we
get
approval
from
council,
we
would
move
to
file
with
iurc.
D
A
Okay,
so
so
now
I'll
call
on
jim
sherman
to
give
the
report
from
the
finance
subcommittee.
A
Entering
them
on
either
the
facebook
chat
or
on
the
the
zoom
chat
as
well.
So
if
you
you.
A
Will
be
recognized
after
we
get
through
the
the
presentations
from
the
board
in
the
subcommittee.
F
Jeff,
you
have
a
question.
Yes,
is
it
okay
for
board
members
to
ask
questions
now.
A
F
And
me
have
now
had
three
separate
meetings.
Today
was
the
third
and
at
those
meetings
we've
had.
F
Presentations
by
vick
helsin,
similar
to
the
one
that
he
just
gave,
we've
had.
F
Conducted
that
were
also
present
at
these
meetings.
Let
me
give
a
little
bit
of
overview.
F
Storm
water.
The
reason
for
the
necessity
for
the
current
increase
is
basically
because
of
all.
F
F
F
On
the
good
news
side
is
that,
after
this
set
of
projects,
we
believe
that
the.
F
Three
members
felt
that
the
that
the
request
is
is
fair
and
in
line
with
our
goals.
So
with
that.
A
Thank
you,
jim.
That
was
an
excellent
recap
of
all
of
our
meetings
and
appreciate
all
the.
A
A
question
so
jeff
yeah,
thank
you
well,
so
we
we
have
done
a
couple
rate
increases
since.
G
You
know
2010-ish,
so
we
you
know
it's
we
we
did
have
a
pretty
long
lag
for
that.
That.
G
Impracticable
now
or
as
past
administrations
have
stated
unrealistic
and
untenable,
or
you
know.
G
Maybe
more
honestly,
just
not
politically
palpable
and
and
we're
getting
beyond
that
now
and.
A
Roberts
julie,
thanks
amanda,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions:
does
irrigation
include
residents
who.
D
D
D
People
who
are
irrigators
would
have
you
know
this.
This
rate
cycle
is
going
to
be
four
years.
D
Long,
so
that
there
would
be
plenty
of
time,
we
hope
to
make
plans
for
whatever
changes.
D
People
might
want
to
make
in
their
irrigation
systems
in
time
to
be
able
to
handle
that.
B
B
B
F
Amounts
is
that
correct
iu
has
regular
usage
meters
and
irrigation
usage.
I
say.
D
To
mitigate
the
impacts
on
the
on
the
on
the
small
industrial
class
and.
D
And
so,
but
we
will
oh
I've
not
apologized,
I
did.
We
did
do
an
event
with
the
chamber
of.
D
D
Chamber
we
explained
the
process
to
them
and
and
our
goals
in
this
whole
effort
so
yeah
we.
A
A
D
Beginning
of
2022
and
then
phase
two
would
happen
in
2024.,
okay,
of
course,
the
proposal.
D
Can
be
modified
on
the
way
through
iurc
usually
makes
some
adjustments
and,
as
they
go.
D
Through
their
process,
so
the
these
numbers
are
probably
not
final
well
and
that's,
I
think
that's.
A
A
For
additional
people
to
be
reviewing
this,
and
it
could
be
that
these
numbers
don't
come
through.
A
A
You
can
raise
your
hand
if
I
can't
see
you,
you
might
want
to
put
your
name
in
the
chat.
A
H
H
H
H
That
that
this,
this
utility
board
recognizes
that
we're
not
happy
with
with
this
type
of
a.
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
A
From
you
on
this
and
and
appreciate
the
discourse
and
hope
that
we
can
work
through
this,
is
there.
F
No,
this
is
nolan
and
for
holly
there's
no
comments
on
the
facebook
page
or
on
the
zoom
chat.
A
Okay,
so
if
there's
no
further
commentary
or
questions,
then
I
believe
the
we
are
calling.
A
For
a
motion
to
approve
this
to
continue
to
move
this
through
the
process,
so
is
there
a
motion.
I
A
A
A
F
F
A
So
with
that,
the
motion
isn't
the
the
resolution
is
approved
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
announce.
A
A
Any
new
business
from
staff,
none
new
business
from
the
board
subcommittee
reports
I,
but.
A
D
I
think
what
to
anticipate
is
we'd
like
to
initiate
some
discussions
about
just
long-term.
D
Issues
as
we're
going
through
the
master
planning
process
about
winston
thomas
and
some.
