▶ 48:47 Mark Garipay: I will close the, uh, public comment portion of our meeting with Ms. Consent. Seeing no objections, public comment is now closed.
▶ 48:57 Mark Garipay: Now we have a public hearing on, um, ID 1, 2, 6, 7, 3 fiscal year 2026 sewer rates. And we have Ms. Alana Ellis with us. And Mr.
▶ 49:15 Mark Garipay: Olin, I don't know, do you want, do you wanna say something or do you want everything been in the packet or, um,
▶ 49:21 Speaker 4: I can just give a quick introduction. Uh, Jim, a Locklin is on the water and sewer rate advisory committee as one of our two member representatives, Ken Trusdale, who is also hoping to be here, but I think a tied up at another engagement, um, is our chair. He's our other resident representative. Um, we've submitted two memos to the, to the council tonight. Typically, we consolidate everything into one memo, but this year we had some recommendations from a subcommittee on, uh, discount programs. And so I just wanna call your attention to that information. There's nothing on the agenda tonight that pertains to the discount programs, but that's just for you all to consider. And I believe we'll be back probably in July or so with some ordinance changes for the water and sewer ordinance. So it's likely that that would be a good time since we're, um, modifying the ordinance anyway, if the council does have any thoughts on our recommendations. Um, but other than that, our water and sewer rates are recommended to stay level funded, um, or level, not funded level, uh, rates both volumetric and, um, base fees, uh, into fiscal 26. And I dunno if you have anything to add, Jim?
▶ 50:32 Speaker 2: Nope. I think You covered it.
▶ 50:34 Mark Garipay: So, um, why don't we ask questions on the, both the orders, um, and then we'll just take separate votes. So does any councils have questions on either 1, 2, 6, 7, 3, or 1, 2, 6, 7, 4 water and sewer rates? Councilor Williams, I Wanna make a motion to approve.
