SO THAT WAS VERY, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS NOT COST WORTHY. SO THEY DECIDED TO DO WE DECIDED ACTUALLY, AND IT WAS APPROVED BY THE LEADERS THAT IT SHOULD NOT GO THROUGH THE QUOTA TEAM ANYMORE TO SAVE THE TIME, IT SHOULD GO DIRECTLY TO THE VENDOR SO THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO, BECAUSE THEY THEY ARE THE ONE WHO ARE ACTUALLY APPROVING THE PROCESS. AND NONE OF US CAN READ ANY READ OR WRITE ANY PUERTO RICO SPANISH. SO THAT'S HOW IT WORKED. SAVE COMPANIES MONEY FOR $100,000. SO THAT WAS THE GREENBELT PROJECT. THANK YOU MA'AM.

DOES ANYONE COUNCILMAN. ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, COUNCILMAN LEININGER? YEAH. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND FOR YOUR INTEREST IN PUBLIC SERVICE.

SOMETHING I LEARNED RECENTLY IS THAT MSD IS UNUSUAL FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR RATES THAT ARE FIXED TO CUSTOMERS, EVEN AMONG UTILITIES LIKE MSD, THAT HAVE CONSENT DECREE REQUIREMENTS. I WONDERED IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THAT. AND IF THERE'S IF YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK INTO CHANGING. SO I WHEN I HAD LUNCH WITH TONY, HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE CONSENT DECREE AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE DEBT THAT MSD IS CARRYING AND HOW THEY'VE TRIED TO REDUCE IT. SO I DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS YET, BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING ABOUT THEM AND HELPING MSD, YOU KNOW, FIX THE ISSUES THAT THEY HAVE. AND HOPEFULLY, I THINK IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THE CONSENT DECREE IS OVER SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO HOW LONG HAS MSD BEEN WORKING ON THAT CONSENT DECREE? I'VE BEEN IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS, I THINK. I MEAN, THAT MIGHT NOT BE EXACTLY RIGHT, BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. OKAY.

REALLY ASK A QUESTION, I'M SIMPLY GOING TO SAY THAT MSD IN THE CITY HAS A PR PROBLEM, AND IT'S NOT EASY TO TO GAIN THAT WHEN EVERY YEAR UP UNTIL THIS YEAR, THEY'VE PUSHED UP TO THE 7% RATE INCREASE EVERY YEAR. SO MY CHALLENGE TO YOU, OF COURSE I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU. BUT MY CHALLENGE, MY CHALLENGE TO YOU IS ASK QUESTIONS. BE AWARE, BE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT QUESTION THE RATE INCREASES EVERY YEAR. IT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK WHEN MSD EXECUTIVE SALARIES ARE SOME OF THE HIGHEST IN THE IN THE IN THE STATE, AND THEIR PAY INCREASES AND RATE INCREASES AT THE SAME TIME.
