Recording in progress. Call the meeting to order. This is the um supercommittee and agenda review meeting of council for the twenty-seventh of May twenty twenty-five. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Okay. Um I don't see any registered comments for the meeting. And we did get received some comments from a resident slash business owner, which we're going to enter into the minutes. And first we're going to start with a presentation from Marla Sipko of Keystone Energy regarding natural gas and electric rates. She's not on yet. Oh, never mind. Okay. Uh from the veteran holiday, so I'm apologize where I would have been there in person. So for starters, Melinda, do they see the screen or do I just want to make sure okay? Okay. So for starters, I if anybody has any questions, just please stop me and we can or we can answer some questions on the back end, but I will just go through each page briefly, or if you stop me, we can address questions there. The first page deals with immediate pricing, and we'll go back as to why this pricing is as it is, but I put that as page one. This is electricity pricing as a preview. This is the second time we ran it, and down the left-hand side, you'll see ABC is possible suppliers, and you'll see a date column that says 520 or 527. So this is the second run, which was as of uh these numbers came in about two hours ago. The column that's in between that is called possible product, and uh Melinda and I go through these details in a lot more granularity, but for right now, I will just speak in very high level. The possible product deals with capacity and transmission changes that you might have seen in the news or uh some legislative issues when Governor Shapiro had petitioned PJM. If you're following PJM is our grid, and there was a lot of questions about what was going to be going on with capacity pricing. So in these possible products where it says C and T, C is the capacity and T is transmission. Those various products have come from the different ways that the grid is looking at pricing out transmission and capacity, and the suppliers are also dealing with those circumstances. So without giving a whole bunch of granularities, there is some pricing here that is highlighted in a peach-orange color. That's the lowest price as of today. But I'll just so you guys can follow along. If you go to the 520 pricing, let's say in um with supplier C the 520 pricing, you can see is 10939. Then it was 10, 866, for example, at 18 months. Everybody's following me. Then if you go down to today's pricing, it is 11137 and 11009. So you can see that the pricing went up on the 18 months from when it was ran on the 20th. If you go to the 12 months, you can see the same pricing from 11027 and 1094, and you can see that it also went up from 12 months.
