▶ 8:07 Speaker 3: Excuse me. So the $27,000 transfer that we're requesting, 20,000 of that approximately covers school related internet costs. and the balance of that is actually as many of you know we have an agreement to provide IT services to the town of Saugus and they have purchased additional services from us and in order to do to provide those services we had to increase our bandwidth between us and the city of the town of Saugus and when we did that there was a cost associated that so this is to pay for that increase bandwidth which we are charging back to them um and recouping those costs

▶ 8:55 Jaclyn L. Bird: thank you mr chairman mr pesos can you go into um some detail about the the internet costs for

▶ 9:02 Speaker 3: the schools yes so uh this is the third year now i think that we've we've been doing this this way uh so this uh city in school about three years ago consolidated all of their uh internet uh The point of presence for the internet all comes out of one spot as opposed to having come out of two spots as it used to in the past. So when we did that you know obviously the the amount that we pay for internet went up at one location here at City Hall. So this is the what we would attribute to the school portion of the internet cost. They take up about 95% of our internet related bandwidth and costs.
