This is stock number 6T390A, we are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin year new and used Ram truck headquarters. We are checking out this super clean 2016 Ram 1500 regular cab long box. This truck has the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 motor. From this HD video you'll be able to tell that this truck is like new all the way around. No dents or dings on the front bumper or front valance. Bright silver metallic is the color, it has the factory 17 inch painted alloy rims. And on those rims are Goodyear Prograde 26570R17 tires and these tires look like they have roughly about I'd say 70%, maybe 80% of the tread left. Lots of tread left on those tires. Front grille is in excellent shape, I didn't see any dents or dings on the hood. We take all of our videos in 1080p so if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or a smart phone device, turn them on now because it's like you're right here looking at the truck with me. And as you go down this side of the truck you can see just how clean the body is, how reflective and glass like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the truck, you can still see the truck, hear the truck, have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at and make that commitment to make the trip or to put money down on the truck so that it doesn't get away from you. Back rims are in excellent shape as well, no scuff scrapes or corrosion and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. You can see that it has the plastic liner on the inside here. What that does is it keeps your frame and under body nice and clean. You can see the lower rockers are in excellent shape as well. We sell a lot of trucks out of state so that's another reason why we do the HD videos. We want to make sure that our out of state customers have the best experience possible so that they can make a smart buying decision and buy that plane ticket or make the drive here. Spray in bed liner, very nice, no major dents or dings in the bed. Very well taken care of truck, it does have the locking tailgate, full towing package which includes the receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring and as you go down this side of the truck just as clean as the passenger side. This back rim is in excellent shape as well but like I said as if you go down this side of the truck just as clean as the passenger side. No dents, dings, scuffs, scrapes, very very clean, very well taken care of ride. Inside the tradesman package gives you the gray cloth interior. There are no rips or tears in these seats. Very nice and clean, has factory floor mats throughout. We have automatic headlamps. This one does have the manual crank windows and manual locks and as you can see this truck has 20,190 miles. Has Bluetooth audio controls which is kind of a rare option for the tradesman package. Also has the cruise control and the gear selector, AM, FM and serious satellite radio capabilities on this radio. Has the turn dial eight speed automatic transmission, push button four wheel drive, stability control and a tow hull mode. Have your climate controls and the passenger seat very very clean as well. No rips or tears on that. Headliner is in excellent condition and factory floor mat on the passenger side and the carpeting is in excellent shape. Take a quick look under the hood. Did want to show behind the seats here there is a nice storage container latch child safety system and a couple hooks there to put stuff on. Take a quick look under the hood.

Thousands took to the streets in Greece against fascism on October 7th, as a court declared the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party a criminal organization. The Supreme Civil and Criminal Court in Athens convicted 68 leaders and members of the Golden Dawn Party in a variety of cases. Golden Dawn supporters Georgios Rupakias was found guilty of murdering a musician, Pavlos Fissas and 15 others were convicted of conspiracy in the case. Five Golden Dawn members were convicted of the attempted murders of migrant fishermen and four for the attempted murder of communist activists. 34-year-old Pavlos Fissas was murdered by Georgios Rupakias on September 18, 2013 at Karatsini. Golden Dawn's leadership including its former MPs and carders were widely recognized to be complicit in Fissas' murder. They were also accused of directing a criminal fascist organization whose members committed a series of crimes ranging from illegal possession of arms and perjury to violent attacks against refugees, workers and political opponents. Following the verdict, there was widespread celebration even as protesters honored the memory of Fissas and other victims of Golden Dawn's violence. Thousands of communist, anti-fascist workers and students organized rallies in other cities and towns including Thisaloniki. Secretary-General of the Communist Party of Greece Dimitris Kutsumbas stated, this sentence must be accompanied by the exemplary punishment of the guilty which is in position of maximum sentences and of course be taken to prison. Earlier this year on September 18, the communist youth of Greece and other progressives organized a massive rally at Karatsini along with various other events to mark the 7th anniversary of the martyrdom of Pavlos Fissas. The neo-Nazi and fascist political group Golden Dawn was founded in 1985. It gained some electoral success during the Greek debt crisis from 2009 to 2018. However, in the 2019 greek legislative elections, Golden Dawn lost all its 18 mpc's.


Good afternoon. I'd like to call the meeting of the Board of Public Utilities for the city of Santa Rosa to order May we have a roll call, please? Board Member Walsh here Board Member Watts is absent Board Member Wright Here Board Member Barthelot here Board Member Batenfort here Vice Chair Arnone here and Chair Galvin here All right, let the record reflect that all board members are present with the exception of Board Member Watts Thank you. Good afternoon again Item number two on our agenda is a statement of abstention by board members or member Barthelot. Yes Before we begin discussion on item 3.2, which is the regional budget I will be recusing myself from participating in the discussion on the matter to avoid any actual or perceived Conflicts of interest stemming from my employment at Sonoma County Farm Bureau The Farm Bureau advocates on behalf of its members and some of our members Contract with Santa Rosa water for delivery of recycled water So because the reasonable but regional budget Includes operations and maintenance costs and capital expenditures for the geysers pipeline and Santa Rosa waters Agricultural reclamation system or generally out of an abundance of caution I will be stepping out from the days and exiting council chambers when item 3.2 comes up Thank You board member Barthelot any other statements of abstention by board members All right, we will move to our study for study session item 3.1 director Burke Thank You chair Galvin and members of the board our first study session is on our fiscal year 2023-24 local wastewater water and stormwater and creeks funds operation maintenance and capital expenditure requests and Making the presentation will be Kimberly Zanino our deputy director of administration Nick Harvey our budget and financial analysis manager and Lori Urbana our deputy director of engineering resources Okay, good afternoon chair Galvin and members of the board We are here as director Burke said to talk about the proposed fiscal year 2023-24 CIP and O&M budgets for water wastewater stormwater and creeks and later on the regional budget So to begin with I'm going to start by giving you an overview of all of our enterprise funds Because this year the City Charter changed and now the BPU is responsible for reviewing and Proposed or proposing a recommendation to the city council We wanted to talk a little bit about our various enterprise funds So that you could get some more detail on the stormwater and creek enterprise I will be going over all of them just because we thought it would be a good refresher So first we'll talk about water wastewater in regional and then I will go into the details about the stormwater and creeks enterprise So I will begin with the water enterprise funds The water enterprise is funded primarily by ratepayers We have approximately 54,000 water accounts Those customers pay for both a water use and a water fix charge and they pay for those Depending on the type of customer either a single tier or a multi-tier rate Our residential customers pay in a two-tier rate as well as our irrigation customers and our commercial and Multifamily pay at a single commodity rate per thousand gallons For context here we are providing you with the total amount of rate revenue that was collected in fiscal year 2021-22 You may recall that on a bi-monthly basis you actually get a report from me It's a memo that memo is providing you with Details on the collection of that revenue and how we are trending From our projections to the collection of that revenue We also collect fees that are demand fees or connection fees As well as miscellaneous fees and those are the other revenue sources in our water enterprise The miscellaneous fees are for anything from a meter fee to a fine To an inspection fee and those fees are charged for Services that we provide that do not go across the entire rate payer base Next we will talk about the wastewater enterprise This enterprise is also funded primarily by ratepayers. We have approximately 50,000 accounts that have sewer We also charge them a sewer usage and a sewer fixed charge There is not however a tiered system on the sewer side, but there are varying charges So there are different rates for different customers depends on the type of customer and it also depends on the strength of the wastewater that they produce In addition, we also collect demand fees for connecting to our sewer system And then we also collect other miscellaneous fees as well on the wastewater enterprise I did add one additional revenue source here the South Park sanitation district Those customers pay their sewer fees to South Park sanitation through their taxes However, they do not maintain that collection system We maintain that collection system for them and so we pay or they pay us a fee in order to do that I'm also showing you here rates or that were collected from 2021-22 both from the sewer and Usage and fixed charges and then those other miscellaneous fees that we collect as for the regional enterprise It is funded by our five partners All of the cost for the regional system operating and maintaining that system are distributed between those five partners Based on various factors You can see here that the operating costs are distributed by actual flow into the plant debt service payments are calculated based on when debt was incurred and the type of project it was incurred for CIP costs are distributed per the percentages defined in the partner agreement And then Santa Rosa water share is paid by our waste wastewater or our sewer customers So as I said because of the change in the city charter And now having the board of public utilities review the stormwater and creeks funding and their budget We wanted to give you some detail on that enterprise fund So the enterprise fund was developed in 1990 or 1996 when the city council added title 16 to the city charter Those fees are used for regulatory compliance It is an annual fee that is charged per parcel those Fees are also or that that funding is also supplemented by a small amount of general funds And then their cip is actually funded by various development fees that we collect gas tax and grants Unlike in the water funds where we have a defined amount of funding that goes to cip and it's increased annually Unfortunately on the stormwater and creek side Their funding is very limited and their cip is developed and prioritized based on the funding that is available to them The revenue that is collected as I said is primarily for state and federal regulatory requirements and meeting those requirements It is not sufficient to cover infrastructure improvements If we were to cover infrastructure improvements, there would need to be an increase in that And it would have to be fairly significant The funding split on the the revenue that's collected from them is Typically 47 of that funding goes to stormwater and 53 goes to creeks There is an annual escalator on it. It's based on the consumer price index, which is called out in the city charter as well And we are providing for you here a look at what the cost is per equivalent residential unit For 2022 23 Those fees are billed on the property taxes by the Sonoma county assessor So because Each of our enterprises funds are slightly different as as far as their regulatory requirements We wanted to provide you with a little bit of data about that Water and sewer rate payer funds are governed by proposition 218 There are some pretty strict Regulations that go along with that Things like they cannot intermingle funds. So we cannot use wastewater funding to pay for Water operations and we can't use water funding to pay for wastewater operations We are also not allowed to subsidize customers So we can't take rates that we collect from one set of customers and pay for another customer's charges with it We also are required to develop our rates and they must be based on the cost of providing those services to our customers Those rates have to go through as well a public hearing process As for the regional funding As I said, santa rosa water pays for our portion of the regional system and what it costs to operate and maintain it from our sewer rate payer funds And the distribution of those costs Is all governed by the sub regional agreement On the stormwater side, uh, they are allowed to use that funding for either stormwater or creeks So there isn't the intermingling issue going on there and also if we were to Propose an increase Anything above the approved cpi Would have to go to a citywide vote So now i'm going to hand off the presentation to mr. Harvey But I will be here at the end of the presentation and available if you have any questions about the information on the funds Thank you. Good afternoon. Uh, moving on to discuss the staff assumptions coming into play In consideration of our 23 24 budget Our revenue assumptions for 23 24 include an anticipated increase in water delivery volumes of approximately 5 percent Which is based on historical experience in years following drought We're expecting sewer use to remain essentially flat and to develop and development to remain stable And per our currently adopted rate structure. We're implementing three percent and two percent increases in water and sewer respectively And that will be effective july 1 2023 So here's a look at the onem line items where we're seeing increases that are generally affecting the water wastewater and stormwater prices equally I'm going to discuss a few of these items here and give more specifics on certain line items later in the presentation When we look at the more fund specific impacts First off, I'd like to point out that city overhead and vehicle costs are not discretionary items for our department Those items are actually allocated out by the finance department to pay for core city services and internal service funds And as such we're absorbing increases here in line with those being realized by other city departments We have a two and a half percent base salary increase across the board coming in july 2023 per currently adopted mo use And given the uncertainty around possible pg and a rate increases this year our cfo and budget team have Dictated that all departments citywide are to increase planned electricity budgets by 15 percent Over the fiscal year 22 23 adopted budgets With the understanding that if needed a separate line item will go to city council mid-year Requesting an increase to appropriations due to the pg and a rate impacts Okay, here's a high level glance our anticipated onem expenditure budget increases for the three enterprises under your consideration As mentioned earlier, I'll dive a bit into more of the detail and fund specific impacts later on But I thought this also serves as a great reminder the funding mix involved when we talk about stormwater increase Uh, so you can see it's a split between enterprise funding and general funding Approximately 37 and 63 respectively So here the onem expenditures by line item for the water fund A quick glance at this chart clearly indicates our largest year-over-year increase to water operating costs is the water purchase line item We'll be going into a bit more detail on that on a following slide We are increasing spending in the miscellaneous category due in large parts who recently adopted department policy of subsidizing certification costs For those who have such certifications as requirements of their positions And although we're seeing a sharp increase in a couple of line items here The net effect of those increases are being significantly offset by the large reduction in our budget requests for onem projects So the two main factors affecting our water purchase budget Are both water delivery volumes and changes to the Sonoma water wholesale rate Sonoma water as you all know is put forth a 10.56 percent wholesale water rate increase for next fiscal year And as I mentioned earlier, we're also assuming a rebound in the volume of water deliveries of about five percent Those two factors together contribute to the purchase of water being our highest increase in our water operating budget So here's a visual representation of the makeup of the budgeted costs and the water operations fund And this really highlights as you can see there the lion's share of that chart is our water purchase budget So it shows you just what an impact it has So moving on to our local wastewater budget the largest line item increase is miscellaneous expenditures at 17 and a half percent This is due primarily to the enterprise having 25 uso one employees who will all need certification next year Significant reductions and other line items however result in local wastewater only realizing a 1.6 percent net budget increase on the air And since we showed it to you for water We thought we'd share the graphical analysis of our onem costs for this wastewater side as well So when we look at our budgeted revenues versus expenditures for the water enterprise Now you can see that we're budgeting for for a small deficit in the water fund This is attributable to the increased water purchase budget we spoke about We're planning on absorbing this deficit with undesignated fund balance to avoid any direct impacts on our customers rates Similar to the water fund on the wastewater side. We're also planning to absorb a small budgetary deficit with undesignated fund balance As a reminder, we also see santa riz's contribution to The regional enterprise for operating costs here as well as deputy director zanino mentioned it is our Local wastewater rate structure that funds santa riz's contribution to the regional system So here's a look a look at our local reserve levels for each of the operating funds as of june 30 2022 And as we've seen historically we continue to see strong undesignated fund balances So looking at the stormwater and creeks onem line items overhead obviously sticks out with an almost 88 percent increase This is due to a one-time adjustment that was made last year And as such this isn't so much a budgetary increase as it is a return to normal with regard to that that line item in the budget They're also adding some debt service costs relating to the purchase of property for the lower colgan creek restoration phase three Uh cip project, which will be featured in the cip portion of our presentation a little later So here's a chart summarizing the stormwater and creeks proposed 3.3 million dollar onem budget for the year I wanted to touch on the stormwater and creeks reserve balances since we spoke about it on the water side They only carry undesignated fund balances With water and wastewater being utilities with Stakeholders and outstanding debt issuances. There are several required reserves set aside in those operating funds They aren't required here as stormwater and creeks is not a utility Okay, moving on to our cip funding water is appropriating a little over 14 and a half million dollars for projects next year Here we see the category breakdown Oh, sorry This is a high level summary, but we're planning to invest in capital projects next year for the three enterprises We're discussing today And we'll spend the rest of this presentation offering a more detailed look at our proposed to cip programming Okay, here we see the water is appropriating a little over 14 and a half million dollars for projects next year We like to show the category breakdown by both percentage of the total and the dollar amounts involved We're continuing to invest our cip dollars in key water delivery infrastructure And bolstering potential future groundwater supplies On the local wastewater side, we're planning we're programming 13 and a half million for next year with the bulk of the funding Being invested in sewer trunk infrastructure, which has become a higher priority for us in recent years And moving on to the stormwater cip budget Stormwater and creeks is programming a little over 1.6 million in projects next year A little under a quarter of their total cip investment is going towards programmatic projects Which are crucial to the stormwater and creeks team It's it's this it's the funding of these types of projects that gives them the organizational agility to react to things such as Dumping and creeks hazardous spills without having any major disruptions to their budget And the remainder of their cip funding being spread across the lower four projects there on the slide So before we get into any project specifics, I wanted to give you a brief overview of how our cip funding sheet works We've left a copy for each of you at the dais So high level The way these sheets work is essentially for any given enterprise The headers on the left and anything under a gray header Represents past or present Cip programming So those are appropriations that were given in some prior year and still exist within each of the projects And anything to the right with a bold color header represents Those amounts having to do with our proposed five-year cip budget As a reminder, we're only ever asking you to formally approve year one of the cip budget But we always like to display the full five-year look as a planning tool And i'll briefly touch on the different funding types of projects There are new projects Which are projects that have never received any programming in Either currently or in the past and are slated to receive their first cip dollars in the five-year cip plan There's carryover projects Which represent projects that have existing appropriations from some prior year and are not Planned to have any dollars programmed in the next five years There's continuing projects, which are projects that have Existing funding or have had some funding in the past and are continuing to receive funding in the five-year look And the canceled project status Which you'll see is is not very widely represented on the sheet Because those represent projects that we either know are going to be completed by the end of this fiscal year Or have been de or reprioritized based on other needs in the organization Okay, and with that i'm going to introduce laurea bannock deputy director of engineering resources with santa rosa water to speak to the cip Thank you. So this is a basic overview of what i'll be talking a little bit about Primarily, we're just going to highlight year one funding and a couple of these various Separate enterprise funds such as water sewer and storm water. You'll notice that We are going to talk a little bit about, you know, the water mains and services Which is pretty typical on the water projects groundwater program And with a high focus on our pump station as part of our backbone infrastructures I'll be highlighting some of that And correspondingly on the sewer side We'll talk a lot about some of the major projects on trunks And storm water one of our favorite projects Is the lower colgan creek restoration project phase three Next slide So the salem avenue and clement avenue sewer and water replacement project is one of those typical projects that we used to do a number of And we don't do that many now This is in a commercial area near mendicino and we're upsizing the sewer and water main This is found in the water funding sheet And you'll find also a corresponding PID of the same project on your sewer sheets as well So this is the water estimate for the project of $850,000 And we expect to move into design and anticipate construction to occur or be ready to commence in year two On the groundwater program. This is the leet well rehabilitation and it's part of The water groundwater master plan one of the recommendation is to increase and provide emergency water supply The estimated project cost is 2.9 million dollars And we've completed the assessment And we're going to have a meeting here soon to talk about which parts we're going to do But we're really focusing on a rehabilitation not a reconstruction Design will occur in year one and construction. Hopefully we'll proceed in year two Water pump stations again, this is some of our backbone infrastructure And we're doing a significant amount of work on the pump stations on pump station 10 We're going to expand the building to install a third dedicated high flow pump And in station 14 Similar type of activities where we're going to remove and replace the pumps there with high flow pumps And for my engineering friends out there The we're replacing 800 gallon flows to 1500 gpms gallons per minute. So a significant increase in flow volume Again another pump station. This one is sort of near and dear to our operations folks Station four which is on Sonoma and farmers lane extension. I'm sure you're all familiar with that We had a condition assessment done And evaluated the structural and operational needs of our crews And so we're anticipating design to commence this coming year And we estimate the total project cost at about 1.4 million dollars and that may vary depending on Which items in the assessment that we decide to take on? And then hopefully we'll follow with construction in year two Here is the corresponding wastewater For the Salem and Clement Avenue sewer and water replacement project again very similar The sewer estimate is close to a million dollars and will the design will occur concurrently with the water, of course And as I mentioned We are doing a significant number of projects as far as the linings go And the rehabilitation this happens to be one of our replacement projects and It's getting very near to construction Actually really near because we opened bids recently on this project And we'll be back before the board likely at the next meeting for an anticipated construction award This first phase of a multi-phase replacement is from stream side to a lane drive And the year one funding here. I do have to Admit to a mistake. It shows the total project estimated cost at four million dollars That's an error That is the year one funding. So my apologies The anticipated total project cost is about 14 million dollars And again on the wastewater side A master plan revealed that we have some significant deficiencies in our sewer siphons So this project will take on a number of those siphons and rehabilitate them with utilizing trenchless technology Such as cipp cure in place Pipe That'll eliminate the need for a lot of open trenching as some of these siphons occur in creeks We do have a a significant amount of environmental mental work to take care of before we get into construction activities We're hoping that this will uh go through design in year one and constructions will occur probably We know for sure two to three phases. So the subsequent years years two and three In addition, we oh, that's okay. Um, we are installing doing some modifications for operation staff while we do this siphon rehabilitation Um, we'll be installing um grit chambers upstream and for those of you that don't know what those are They're like a manhole with a drop inlet where the elevation has to bubble up and it allows sediment and other materials that could clog the siphons to settle out before we go It also provides an easy location for operation staff to then vacuum out and clean the siphons And one more trunk that we're working on this is the robeless trunk and this will be another trenchless technology situation with a cipp lining We anticipate this project to cost about total about 5.3 million dollars This is also in an area where we anticipate some environmental issues and mitigation that we may have to come up with We're anticipating year one And design and again, hopefully construction in the subsequent years And here's one of our favorite projects I get to highlight So, um, we have completed storm water has done a fantastic job completing phase one and phase two This is phase three that will connect to those two other phases And this really is an amazing project that the community appreciates One as we are sewer and water, they don't really have an appreciation sometimes for What's buried underground. They don't see but this is a very visible project for them It restores this particular phase will restore 2,500 feet of creek floodline channel There'll be multiple plantings of native riparian trees and shrubs shrubs And it'll also as we all have been noticing have received a lot of rain So this will also increase the flood capacity from a 25 year event to a 100 year level, which will be significant for the community Um, it also has other amenities such as paved bicycle paths and pedestrian pathways and a bridge And the other good news is that they were able to get 5.8 million dollars worth of grant funding so far for land acquisition design and construction So it's a great project And with that i'll turn it back over to nick Thank you a quick review of our remaining budget schedule As you know, we'll be back before you on april 20th a couple weeks here Are requesting your formal recommendation of the department budgets to city council 25th we'll be taking the regional budget to city council requesting Their preliminary approval of the regional budget for the purposes of notifying our partner agencies of their allocations By may 1st, which is when we like to provide that information Uh city council study sessions. I believe are actually may 9th and 10th Um, is that correct? Okay. Yeah may 9th and 10th. I apologize for the error there And uh formal budget budget adoption by city council on june 20th And with that we're happy to address any questions or comments you may have Thank you to all three of you for your presentations. I know it's a lot of work that's gone into these budgets and Very complicated charts and everything but Pulled it off. So great. I'll open it up now for any board member questions or comments board member right Yes, thank you for the presentation simple question a station for what We're going to retrofit that what are we going to do the station for Station for there's a lot of suggestions As you know, it's it's located very close to the rogers creek fault line So the evaluation did a significant seismic evaluation And there are a number of recommendations for the department to consider as far as Driving peers through the foundation And it starts to become If we initiated every Activity that the assessment evaluated one of the recommendations is to build an augment station next to it And start to do the significant rehabilitation, which almost is a tear down and a rebuild of the existing station Just because the structure itself has so many Different things along with the seismic inefficiencies in the building and others You probably know very well that one of our the most significant place in the seismic activity for a failure to occur Is at that connection point with the pump stations and the underlying plumbing that goes underground Along with the building those are other things that would be done There's also hazardous materials located in the building such as asbestos that needs to be removed and cleaned out So you can understand Just on those two assessments alone that there's a quite a bit of work that needs to be done If you'd like some additional detail, I'd have to Um Go back and read the report a little bit clearer, but those are the major components Of that project So the work is not for the pumps and things like that. It's basically for this structure itself, which I do believe That was built in the 30s or something like that. I know the fire department moved out in the 60s So it's it's an old building That's my only question. Thank you Other board member questions or comments Or member walsh Um, I certainly appreciate the uh, the explanation for some of the projects not being an engineer I appreciate the presentation And then as far as the the finance just the navigation of such a big budget overall such a big issue overall So I appreciate that and the education you give us every time Just also wanted to point out the the 5.8 million dollars in grants for the colgan creek restoration project There's a lot of agencies are funding that project takes a lot of coordination I appreciate the help from the city manager's office from the water and sewer There's a lot of that social navigation going on and uh and requests for help and I appreciate people getting that project together Thank you for your comments board member walsh any other questions or comments Board member bartholome Thank you for this great presentation so much information. Um um my question is around staff assumptions and um One of them was that water use is projected to increase by five percent And the other one was wastewater use will remain flat So It seems like if more water is being used there would be more Waste water is it because it's as a result of landscaping and things like that where the water is So we took a look at the historical rebound from drought And we projected based on that historical rebound that we've seen typically that first year We've rebounded by about five percent more use in volume And that's what we're projecting on the wastewater side the difference is that uh our residential customers all have what's called a sewer cap So sewer caps aren't really affected by water use Other than the winter water use so they don't pay on irrigation So we don't expect to see an increase in that because they still use about the same amount Internally inside their houses, which is being discharged to the sewer system So that revenue source is always very stable and doesn't have a lot of up and down Like the water side does because water side they will they'll start irrigating outside and that's going to go up But they don't pay sewer charges on that other board member questions or comments All right, I will open it up now for public comment on item 3.1 If you wish to make a comment via zoom, please raise your hand if you're dialing in via telephone Please dial star nine to raise your hand secretary Montoya Yes, um, it looks like we have one person in chamber wishing to make a public comment and um No one on zoom and no email and voicemail public comments were received Sir if you would like to go ahead We'll pull the timer up for you And if you would like to begin by stating your name for the record, please Hi, my name is bob harder 93 27 lakewood drive winds are Some of you would know me as the previous deputy director for engineering and cip for santa rosa Years ago 1800 or something I was kind of doing what lori does now Development engineering and cip If my voice sounds scratchy it's because i'm a Scratchy record playing the same song from two years ago Maybe if you could move your microphone a little closer Is that any better? Yes. Thank you I appreciate you wanting to hear more from me Um, so you've got an update. I want to update my critique from two years ago and from a year ago and It's a critical critique and it won't be new to some of you Two years ago by happenstance, I found out that um, the city backlog Which is the amount of funds that were previously approved by the bpu and the council For water and wastewater not the treatment plant. It's kind of its own animal Had risen to about 65 million dollars When I was hired by the city it was 35 million. We did some changes. We got it back to 10 I had a stroke. Um, we've gone 15 years So looking into it. I thought to myself does anybody know the backlog of 65 million and does anybody care And by care what I mean is care enough To do something about it Not care enough to be concerned and disappointed So a year ago You understood you knew But in my measure Didn't care enough to do something staff, uh, jason was, um With you all then You know structurally and he presented through an update to the cip. I think maybe andy allen presented big picture Way out future wives It showed the 65 million, but it wasn't talked about But they had two good ideas to what could we do And one was to get more staff because um, that's largely part of the problem um And two maybe we can bring on some consultants To act like our staff a cip team like our staff to give us more manpower you might say um Staffing today is down less than it was then The cip teams there are two of them They're staffed less than 50 of their authorized levels And the development contract teams I think are maybe being used at the plant And the lorry introduced a concept new to the city which was a design build Which I think is going to be successful on the trunk sewer however Now the backlog is over 90 million dollars I haven't staffed we haven't got Mr. Harder. I'm going to need you to wrap up shortly, please. Yes, so I would say Now you know Now does the bpu care enough to direct Change Rather than just acknowledge a report. Thank you Thank you for your comments City manager Thank you very much chair galvin and uh, mr. Harder. We have talked just Some of the things that the departments And I say departments both public works and water are doing in an effort to try to address actually a lot of the things that mr. Harder mentioned We have gone out and solicited for consultants in an effort to try to bolster staff We do have three consultants two that are identified for water services and one identified for the general fund or non-enterprise We are still trying to figure out the best way of implementing those Because as we're digging in there's some nuances within the cut within the Agreements that we need to navigate around in order to make sure that we're not duplicating effort And we're not creating conflicts of interest through the 1099 procedures And so that work is proceeding in fact I do believe we have one of those that are actively doing project management on one of the groups of projects On the non-enterprise side. We are about to launch that in the next month As director Burke and I have talked over the last several months There are other options for us when it comes to utilizing consultants And we are actively working on developing program to get out on the street so that we can look for A kind of a different type of consultant than we've used in the past We just recently secured a company to provide project management and construction management oversight only for The herring community hub project, which is about an 80 million dollar Civic facility being built down off of herron avenue And their only and sole job is to act on staff's behalf We've been informed that those companies like that actually also Provide those services for linear and flat projects or linear and horizontal Which we weren't aware of previously and so trying to create the type of documentation that will set us up to be able to Qualify those companies to perform those services. Again, it's a different approach than what we've done previously A lot of the companies that are doing project management and construction management for us today are also design firms doing work The firm like the one we hired for the herring community hub is not a design firm They don't do that level of work. They only provide project management services So so it is an area that we're continuing to look at And trying to get that ready and out on the street so that we can start to understand who may be interested in more of the Traditional public works type of aspects that we're looking at From a hiring perspective, we've actually seen quite a bit of success We have a new class that we're interviewing right now With the hope of starting to fill even more of our vacancies The market's actually starting to trend in the right direction for us. We're starting to see more and more interest So we're hopeful that we'll be able to begin to fill some of those seats Our biggest challenge there is as most of the individuals we're bringing in are younger With less experience and we've seen an attrition of some of our more experienced senior individuals Out into retirement over the last year So our our effort at the moment is to try to create a mentoring program Which is actively in place to try to help those younger newer individuals understand the procedures that we're working within the organization So that we can be more efficient and effective at delivering projects and a greater volume of projects Over the course of the next couple of years so that we can begin to chip away at that backlog And chair galvin if I could just add Just a couple other things one is that um as was noted by mr. Harder We actually have taken advantage of design build and i'm excited to let the board know that our first Uh design build rfq was published today for the lano trunk lining. So that's great A lot of work and effort by staff to put that together And we're really excited about this process and we hope that's going to be the template for sewer lining going forward And also we've secured or we've secured an authorization From the water resources development act for 19.4 million We're working really hard right now on getting some appropriations And if we're able to do that we're going to put that towards our sewer trunk lining to get those projects done by the core The army core of engineers. So that's going to help us with getting those projects done We've also been Recognizing that this issue in terms of staffing is not just in our engineering group. Although that is one of our big Issues that we do have it is um department wide and city wide in the water department alone. We're seeing Unfortunately the last couple years have been seeing about a 10 percent Year over year vacancy rate and we'll hire some folks and then Some folks move on pretty much at a pretty consistent rate. So We have been working very hard as an exact staff and very grateful to our leadership in our city manager an assistant city manager that we're actually able to now use some retention and retention bonuses recruitment and retention bonuses And those have just been put out for the engineering positions. So we're really looking at it from all angles Of really how to get more staff how to get more throughput To get this work done. I think Every one of us in the water department is extremely concerned We do care and we've explored many many options to try and get as much work out as we can And so I I just have to really applaud the team because they've been very hampered in terms of not having a lot of staff But have still been doing an excellent job getting as much work out as they can And we do recognize and it falls on jason and I To continue to look for creative ways that we can get more work out. So we understand we care We are very concerned and we're continuing to explore creative options to try and get as much work out as we can Thank you to both of you for that response I believe that will conclude item 3.1. We'll now move to item 3.2 Director Burke Thank you chair galvin and members of the board item 3.2 is our fiscal year 2023-24 regional fund operation maintenance capital and debt service expenditure request And we will have the same team Kimberly Zanino our deputy director of administration Nick Harvey our budget and financial analysis Manager and lori or bannock our deputy director of engineering resources Presenting for this item Hi chair galvin members of the board As we just did with our local enterprises We'll take a similar look at what we're planning for the fiscal year 2023-24 regional o and m and cip budgets Today we'll be taking a look at the proposed budget for fiscal year 2023-24 And we'll start with the o and m budget then we'll go over proposed Partner agency allocations and cip specific to our regional system So the same general o and m increases discussed for other enterprise funds are also impacting the regional operating budget However, the effects of increases for chemicals and electricity are more pronounced for regional operations As a treatment plan is our department's largest consumer of both chemicals and electricity We'll discuss these in more detail during our look at the line item budget Okay, so the treatment plan as I just mentioned is our largest consumer of electricity As you can see here, we we've budgeted for an over 36 percent increase In electricity consumption This may seem to fly in the face of the comments I made during the last presentation that we're increasing by 15 percent per cfo direction The reason for that is because in addition to the 15 percent rate increase budget We are also anticipating an increase in the quantity of electricity consumed at the plant So that's why we're seeing a much higher figure there We're also seeing an increase in projected miscellaneous costs due to our recently implemented policy of subsidizing training and certification Just like we saw in the local enterprises And the increases in operational Supplies for the regional operation are primarily driven by increased chemical costs at the plant in particular sodium hypochlorite and allan prices Are expected to continue to see cost increases due to Increased demand and continued market and supply chain volatility And we're seeing the same general increases in our uncontrolled cost line items similar to the local enterprises And on the bottom line basis there, we are increasing 8 percent in the aggregate for a projected on them budget So here's a chart reflecting the entirety of regionals proposed budget for next year including both cip and debt service appropriations We also like to include the miscellaneous Revenue figure in red at the top there the 5.3 million Because that is part of the financial picture in that the way we figure The regional budget and the ensuing cost allocations to the partner agencies as we we take our total budget All inclusive and we subtract out the miscellaneous revenues So that we're only billing for the net total Those miscellaneous revenues as reflected on the slides for 23 24 is 5.3 million So here's a look at the reserve levels for the regional fund as of june 30th 2022 We're continuing to hold our operating reserve at 15 percent of actual annual operating costs You'll notice that we don't have an undesignated reserve balance as we have in our other operating funds in the water department As a reminder any excess reserves in the regional are held in the reserve refund reserve on behalf of our partner agencies And applied to partner allocations as requested for rate smoothing purposes So in contrast to our other operations in the water department santa rosa does not own the totality of the reserves The partner agency refund reserve Is parsed out to each agency based on their share and they are free to do what that is they like Including what we commonly see is applying some or all of that amount to smooth their effective rate increases And speaking of the refund reserve, uh, here's uh table showing the history of our refund reserve With each agency's respective share of that Fund at the bottom row there Our budget and miscellaneous revenues for the plant are declining slightly From from last year Primarily due to the expiration of the dairy waste loan program as well as the end of our payments from calpine for their letter of credit A strong demand for our high strength waste program and contractual increases in revenues from the town of winzer Are expected to significantly mitigate mitigate the effects of other revenue declines So as usual, we like to show you how we arrive at the net figure for agency on m and cip contributions in the regional enterprise So as you can see we start with the total budgeted o and m and capital budgets for the year And add the difference in operating reserve needed to maintain that target balance of 15 percent We then and we then net anticipated revenues against these costs to arrive at the net to be contributed by the agencies Which comes in at just over 49 million projected for 23 24 As a note that said debt service figures are allocated separately and are not included in this calculation So now we'll take a look at our preliminary partner allocations for fiscal year 23 24 Each agency has allocated their pro-rout of share of budgeted o and m cip and debt service costs I wanted to touch a little bit on the fact that each of those three categories o and m cip contributions and debt service are actually allocated On three different bases. So the budgeted o and m figures are actually Allocated based on the full The last full previous years Flows into the plant. We have flow meters to track that and we allocate the costs accordingly. So those are being Allocated based on the flows for the completed year fiscal year 21 22 The cip contributions are allocated based on terms stipulated in the sub regional agreement And the debt service figures are actually allocated on a per debt service basis. Uh, and the The nexus on that is really What each debt service was issued to pay for So for example, um, we might issue bonds to pay for something that increases overall capacity at the plant And one of our partner agencies if they're not in a growth mode And they're not planning on growing. Well, they don't necessarily want to contribute extra money because while there's overall growth in the regional system They're not anticipating their portion to grow So here's a breakdown by category of our proposed 10 million dollar cip budget for the regional enterprise The majority of our funding is being invested directly into the improvement of our plant and the geysers infrastructure With the remainder supporting ongoing planning efforts I'm now going to hand it back over to laury urbannock deputy director engineering services Uh, with senator as a water to discuss some cip project highlights So again, um, much as I did with the local side funding, I'll talk about if you could just go to the next slide Thank you Um, talk a little bit about some of the key projects that were, um, initiating out at the plant Although I will warn you that none of these are as cool as the uv project Which is under construction currently so, um, but they are equally important because as you all know Each of our process units has a unique and distinct element of contribution in cleansing And producing recycled water So this first project is the filter valve replacement phase two and um, this this, uh, particular project is replacing one half of the cells nine through 14 The um, the other half was replaced back in I believe 19 The cells were built in 1968. Oh shoot. I thought I had that down, but I don't but it's been a while since we replaced those and so That particular system filters out particulates out of the wastewater before it continues on through the treatment The project is estimated about uh, 1.4 and it is going to design and construction in the first year The next, um Project that we're highlighting here is the aeration basin improvements This is a significant project and one part of that is because of the The need to bypass this system and work through each of these channels in multiple years to get the work done and The proper assessments completed. Um, the total project is looking at somewhere around 2.3 million dollars. We're anticipating design in year one and um, hopefully Will be in construction year Three or four. So that's we that's as far as we're looking ahead on this one But it is an important project that we get done and I know it's one of operations. Um, primary goals is to get this work done and then the geysers so As some of you know, this is one of the coolest big projects that the city ever built and um, it's nearly 20 years old And this project is really going to address the aging electrical infrastructure that's out there Um, some of us think that like pipe, this is going to last for 40 or 50 years Maybe 60 but unfortunately, um, some of these electrical systems don't last nearly as long and so they're very overdue for some significant upgrades So this initial work Is um completing a condition assessment and do some design, um in in year one But um in talking with operation staff, um, they do have a desire to want to, um Purchase some equipment early on to ensure that we don't um exhibit any kind of failure This is a critical system and must be kept live Um all year round And it's it's really important that we keep it operational. So, um Definitely want to avoid any, um potential shutdowns or failures on this system And that project is estimated to be about 5 million dollars with design and as I mentioned some procurement of equipment in year one Okay, and we're back to the remaining budget schedule.

The Kraft Foods Company presents Willard Waterman as the great Gildesleeve. The Kraft Foods Company has brought to you transcribed by the Kraft Foods Company. Twenty years ago, the Kraft Foods Company introduced a wonderful new salad dressing, a superbly smooth, delicious tasting salad dressing called Miracle Whip. Miracle Whip was so remarkably good that it soon became the most popular salad dressing ever created. Now Miracle Whip outsells the next twenty, leading brands of salad dressing combined, and good cooks everywhere depend on it to make their salads better tasting. To bring out the best in your salads, use the one and only Miracle Whip salad dressing. It is September, about the time boys and girls are thinking about returning to school. The great Gildesleeve's nephew Leroy doesn't like to think about it, but as long as he has to, he has some very unusual thoughts on the subject. Hey, Aunt, school starts next week, you know. Yes, I know, Leroy. I want to talk to you about this school business. Oh? I've got an idea. Young man, you are not going off and join the foreign legions. You go to school the way I had to. I'm not trying to get out of going to school. Why, I wouldn't bring with such a thing. You wouldn't. Oh, no, Aunt. I realize the importance of an education. I appreciate all the sacrifices you made to help me get it. Leroy, you're after something. Yeah. What is it? Aunt, I want to change schools. Change schools? But the teachers are just getting used to you. You're passing. I don't want them feeling sorry for me. He's not, says my boy, never change schools in the middle of an education, especially when you're passing. Look, he's changed schools. But Leroy, there's not another school in this neighborhood. Well, I want to go to the other side of town. The adult case summer is junior high. Oh, my goodness, that's four miles away. By the time you got there, school would be out. I got it all figured out. I can ride down to the water department with you every morning, walk across to the post office, take the 10th Avenue bus, transfer at Woodley Boulevard, take the streetcar, get off at the ball park, cut across left field and I'm done. Leroy, this whole idea is coming out of left field. What's behind it? Nothing. You don't even know anybody at that school? Yes, I do. Who? Whoa. Bertie. He says he wants to change school. He does. Do you know what's behind it? No, sir, this is the first I heard of it. He wants to attend that junior high way across town. Oh, Leroy, it'll take you an hour to get there. That's OK. I'll have that much more time to study on the bus. No, I know you're up to something. I'll get it. Never mind, Bertie. I'll go. Oh, hello, Marvin. Come in. I'm in. Leroy, that's no way to talk to Marvin. That's OK. I'm used to it. Yeah, I'm afraid Leroy's a little put out, Marvin. He wants to change school. Yeah, I know. You do? Marvin, you keep out of this. I've seen it coming all summer. Marvin, you better keep quiet. Go ahead, Marvin. What do I do? Hey, Marvin, let's have the facts. They're juicy. Marvin is because of a girl. Who is she, Marvin? Aw, some chick he met at the roller rink. Leroy likes her. She must be a fine little girl. She's terrible. She is not. She ties her hair in the back and she looks like a pony. Where does your little girlfriend live, Leroy? She lives in a very nice section. Well, I'm sure she does. She goes barefooting. Oh. Except when she roars. She only goes barefooted in the summer. A lot of kids do. What's her name, Leroy? Her name's Mack. Imagine a girl's name Mack. Boy, is that stupid? Is this Mack, this girl? The only reason you want to change school? I don't want to talk about it. When it's a girl to sleep, I'll get over girls. I did. I never mentioned a girl. He hasn't had her over home. I wonder if he's ever had her in PDs for a soda. Oh, Mr. Gunnarsley. What can I do for you today? PD, has Leroy been in here with any new little girls?  Strangest. Leroy has gone overboard for a little girl named Josephine McCoy. And I'd like to know more about her. Why don't you call up Mr. and Mrs. McCoy? If you want to know the real McCoy. Yes, yes. Santa was a little wittest in Mr. Gunnarsley. If you want the McCoy about McCoy, call the McCoy. I get it, P. No, you're not laughing. I can't stand the sour boys. What? When a man takes the trouble to think of something funny, you ought to have the decency to laugh at it. P.V., I'm not in a laughing mood. That's what I say it kills you, ain't it? I'm sorry I came in. What do you want to buy? Nothing. So am I. P.V., I just came in to see if you knew anything about the company Leroy's keeping. Well, it seems to me there is a McCoy family living in Crosstown. Leroy's quite taken with this girl. Wants to go to her school. You don't care. The boy has me puzzled, P.V. That could be. Usually confides in me. Brings his little friends to the house. This time I can't pry a thing out of it. Yeah, Mr. Gunnarsley, if I were you, I wouldn't worry about Leroy. Yeah, maybe I am overly concerned. But I've never heard of the McCoy's. No, maybe they haven't heard of you either. Oh, P.V., just that I don't know what kind of bringing up the girl is had. Of course, I trust Leroy's judgment. Oh, yeah, yeah. After all, I raised him. He's picked up a lot of my traits. He's checked off the old block. You know how level-headed I am. Everybody does. So if Leroy continues to follow in my footsteps and uses his brains like me, I have nothing to worry about. No, I wouldn't do that. All right, George, I'm not going to speculate any more about Leroy's little girlfriend. I'm going to insist that he bring her to the house. Maybe the thing to do is invite her for dinner. In that way, she'll never suspect I'm looking her over. Hey, Birdie! He's upstairs talking on the extension phone. Oh? Talking to some boy named Mack. Hey, Birdie, that isn't a boy. She's a girl. Come again? Mack is a girl, Joe McCoy. Who's Joe? Joe is Mack. Yes. Joe is short for Josephine. Yes, sir. And Mack is short for McCoy. Oh, my God! She's long on short names. That's right. So serious about it. Yeah, but we're going to put an end to the mystery. Yes, sir. Birdie, can we have her over for dinner tonight? Oh, yes. I think that'd be nice. I'd like to get a look at that Joe Mack myself. Well, I'm sure she's a very nice girl, but naturally we're interested in the people Leroy associates with. Yes, they're especially girls. Parents are always interested in the boys they're girls associate with. Why shouldn't they be interested in the girls they're boys associate with? Yes, they're what's called for the goose or soft for the gander. You bet, and I want a gander at this girl. Leroy! Leroy sounds excited about something. I have to go over there. Are you looking for a black eye, too? No, she wouldn't sock me. See you later, huh? Yeah, wait, wait, wait a minute. Yeah? Instead of you always running over to Joe's, why don't you invite her over here for a change? Over here? Well, I thought you might ask her for dinner this evening. Oh, I'm sure you wouldn't like her. She isn't your type. Why does she let me be the judge of that, my boy? Well, can she come in blue jeans? Dinner in blue jeans? Well, she'd rather wear those than dresses. She would? Well... She doesn't like shoes, either, Birdie. She just don't know her. Well, I'm doing my best to get to know her. How about asking her over right now? We have Pop Roast and Green Beans, Leroy. Oh, gosh, she wouldn't come today. She wants to get up on top of the house and clean the leaves out of the gutters. On top of the house? Yeah, yeah. But Leroy... Oops, he's gone. Looks like the Pop Roast and Green Beans lost out to the bad feet in blue jeans. Well, that doesn't. Good afternoon. How you gonna do that? Well, I'm water commissioner. I can go over there under the pretext of reading the water meter. Yes. What's so funny, Birdie? The Green Beans lost out to the blue jeans so you go read the water meter to meter. This must be the place. Not a bad house she lives in. Two-car garage. Yeah, there are two boys on the roof. Now, one got a horse's tail. Yeah, I can't get over it. Girls with horses' tails and boys with Drake's tails. If I can sneak up behind this tree, I can get a better look at it. It is... darn dry leaves make a lot of noise. Oh, I got house of the leaves out of the gutters. What do we do with them, Joe?  I kinda like the way you call me Buster. Buster. I just like to talk to you. Like a boy. You talk to me like I'm a girl.  I'll bet she would. Hey, Buster, could you go over to dinner some night and meet my uncles? Why should I meet your relatives? I got relatives of my own. Yeah, but maybe they're not like us.  I'm an okay guy. What a tomboy. Then grab the limb. I don't know if I can jump that far. I think you can make it. You're getting almost as strong as I am. I am. Come on, follow me. There she goes, out into space. She made it. At least nobody got hurt. Here she comes. Watch it. Going under that tree. Just reading the water meter. We'll be back in just a minute. Here's a wonderful new kind of salmon salad sandwich. One of those all-too-rare ideas that are easy enough for the family, fancy enough for companies. First of all, make some good salmon salad. Use drained canned salmon, crispy chopped celery, and sliced stuffed salad. Mix them all together, then add the salad dressing. And I do mean these salad dressing. The one and only Miracle Whip salad dressing. Miracle Whip has a fine, lively teasing flavor. A flavor that'll make your salad taste its delicious best. A flavor that no other salad dressing has. Because Miracle Whip is made from a secret craft recipe that combines the qualities of old-fashioned boiled dressing and rich mayonnaise. As you add Miracle Whip to your other ingredients, you'll notice this salad dressing has a remarkably smooth, creamy texture. That's the result of thorough, careful blending with special craft beaters. For the sandwich part of this treat, instead of the bread, you'll need some nice, rosy tomatoes. You peel one tomato and cut into the three crosswise slices. Then place the bottom slice of tomato on a lettuce leaf and alternate the tomato slices with two layers of salmon salad. Add a dab of Miracle Whip to the top of the tomato and there it is, a tempting sandwich of tomato slices and salmon salad. Keep a jar of Miracle Whip on hand always for all kinds of good-to-look-at till you make them with America's favorite salad dressing, Miracle Whip. This leaf went to some pains to find out why he should disapprove of Leroy's new girlfriend, but about all he's discovered is that she's a bit of a tomboy. Now he's discussing the situation with Mr. Peavy. Once you came down out of the tree, she landed right in the back of my neck, Peavy. My, my. Right about here.  Well, if it is, it'll turn up a good car, eh? Peavy, this is serious. I hate to do it. I'm just gonna have to forbid Leroy seeing the girl again. I don't know, Mr. Peavy. Sometimes that can lead to complications. What do you mean? Well, there was a time during my courting days that Mrs. Peavy got put out with me and forbade me to call on her again. She did? I got my dander up and dared her to marry me. What'd you say about that? Oh, my gosh. Of course I was planning to marry Mrs. Peavy in the spring anyway, but you might say I sprung to June. Well, I'll give it some thought, Peavy. Peavy's right. Maybe I shouldn't oppose Leroy's seeing the girl. Perhaps if I ignore the situation, everything will work out all right. Gilda, Steve, you're inclined to make mountains out of molehills. Excuse me. You asked Bertie. Have you seen him, Bertie? I guess he's still down at the roller rink. Oh, skating? Him and that Joe. She sure got that boy skating around in circles. It'll pass, Bertie.  That's all he's doing, going around in circles. All right, Bertie, where's the paper? Still out in the yard, laying out there in the deep grass that needs more and while Leroy goes around in circles. He hasn't been around the house much, has he? Bertie even had to straighten up his room, not that on mine, but you've been training him to do that. Yeah, I know, Bertie. He's too busy going around in circles. Bertie even had to take the cans out for him. You did? Bertie not only had to take out the cans, she had to bring them back in. Oh. Took them out on the wrong day while Leroy's going around in circles. He got me going around in circles. Yes, thank you, Bertie. Oh, hello, Marvin. Hi. Leroy isn't home. He's never home. Well... I don't have anybody to play with. Too bad. Since I can't do any better. You want to play with me? Sorry, Marvin, but you hurt me. I don't like to be second choice. Okay, I don't think we have any fun anyway. Why don't you go ahead and get Leroy? He'll come home. He'll be eating in and be off of that Joe again. No, Marvin. You're going to let him change schools? We'll see about that. I guess it's up to Joe, huh? What's this? She's telling him what to do now. At least you don't have any control over Leroy anymore. I do so. Then why don't you go get him? I don't want to go get him. You don't think he'll come home with you? He certainly would come home. Suppose he tells you to go fly a kite. You wouldn't dare. Why, George, I'll get on that skating rink and bring him home right now. Marvin, what are you laughing at? You tickle me.  A busy place. There's some pretty good skaters out there, too. Anyone where Leroy is. Oh, there he is. Over there kind of keep up with Joe. He can skate faster backwards than he can forwards. Well, here he comes around. Leroy. Oh, Leroy. Marvin, do you follow me down here? Yeah. I want to see if he can get him home. Don't worry. Here he comes around again. Leroy, stop. Terminate the skating. Well, that's more like it. It's time to go home. Because I say so. Yeah, because he says so. Lady, I'll have you know I was an expert on skates. You're kidding. It wasn't so long ago. I'll bet you can't even stand up and skate. I bet he could. At least I'd like to see him try.  Somebody get him some skates.  Well, perhaps he wouldn't be sporting. Show up, you kiddies. You back him down. Marvin, go get the skates. Lord. Don't worry, young lady. I can navigate these skates. That's the part that always gets popped. I'm just getting my C-Lex. It's going pretty fast. It took more of a beating than I did. But Joe's in the dance, young. I sure told her off before I left. Good for you, Leroy. Nobody can treat my uncle like that and get away with it.  Yeah, I told her I never want to see her again. I don't like girls who try to act like boys. We're through. Things sure can change fate. Well, let's forget about Joe McCoy. What a name for a girl. I've already forgotten about her.  Takes after me. You bet. I take after you. Brady, would you see who's at the door? Yes, I'm on my way to the kitchen anyway. Joe McCoy. Uh-oh. Miss Joe McCoy, I call him. Oh, my goodness. I guess she can't take no for an answer. I'll tell her off again. May I come in? I never called me Joseph. Well, it's the first time I ever saw you in a dress. What happened to you, Josephine? I guess I'll wear dresses from now on. If Leroy likes me that way. Do you, Leroy? My joy she does. Joe, I mean, Josephine? Why haven't you saved her dinner? Hey, now. 30 seconds. Add a surprise to the next fruit salad you make. Add several cubes of cranberry jelly to the fruit. Try it. And to be sure that salad is at its delicious best, be sure the salad dressing you use is Miracle Whip. Miracle Whip gives salads wonderful flavor, a lively, teasing flavor, a flavor millions of folks call just right. It's a different flavor, too. One no other salad dressing has. Remember, for fine-tasting salads, there's nothing like the one and only Miracle Whip salad dressing. What's that? It's you, Marvin. What is it?  There are a lot of dry leaves around. I told you not to wake him. What if you started a fire, Marvin? If I did, I'd catch it when I got home. Yes, indeed. And this is the time of year all of it should watch it. When the leaves are falling and the ground is dry. You realize that 90% of our terrible forest fires are caused by careless handling of matches? Yeah.  Without thinking, even grown-ups throw lighted matches into our windows, leave campfires unattended. The moment's carelessness can destroy thousands of acres of our nation's fine timber. Sorry, I asked for the match. Yeah, that's the boy. Why'd you wake me up to ask for a match anyway? I was going to wait until you went back to sleep and give you a hot foot. Oh, Marvin, good night, folks. Well, it's Waterman. The show is written by John Elliott and Andy White at this current trial.
