F

Thank you, mr chairman. um First of all, we'll talk about the um fy 2020 pro forma through june 20 through june 30th of 2020. The revenues for water and wastewater were as expected, but let me let me give you a little bit of background on that one.

F

So we still have about 11 000 customers in arrears. We are not shutting off water at this time for non-payment,.

F

The number of customers seems to be uh static. We were close to 10 000 in april, and now we're at about 11, 000 and they've been once the amount of of payment in arrears is, is just under five million dollars, so that really hasn't increased either. So some folks are are starting to to pay their bills.

F

If not, then that arrears dollar amount would continue to grow, but it's been under five million dollars for a couple of months now.

F

um The good news is this year: we've actually sold about 4 billion gallons, more water, so far this calendar year than we did compared to last year and so that's kind of helping us. Last year we had a really wet um late spring early summer. So right now we're we're actually selling a lot more water. So it's making up that differential. So that's why our revenues seem to be on track I'll. Give you the annual pro forma, hopefully at the next meeting, we're still crunching a few numbers.

F

There um next item, we we got a ruling from judge dewberry on our sardis permit. The judge ruled in our favor, but at the at the last day, um the folks down in southeast oklahoma filed a petition with the with the oklahoma supreme court, and so that um petition will be heard by the supreme court. uh Craig is telling me it could be as early as about a year, but it may be longer than that uh craig do you need to add anything to that.

D

This is great to add that we have a very aggressive uh schedule for filing briefs outside council's already working on briefs, both in response to the petition and error and in the cross petition, which was filed on behalf of the city and the water trust on issues that we raised at the district level, and we would like to have heard at the supreme court level as well.

D

F

You um and the last thing uh tomorrow is a very special day. uh Happy happy birthday, mr chairman, thank you have a great day appreciate it and that's all. I have.

C

Very good: are there any citizens to be heard.

C

If they are, we, they need to press star six to unmute themselves.

C

Being one I'd recognize a motion for.

D

C

It's been moved and seconded. We consider ourselves adjourned. Thank you. So much.
