Okay, we'll go ahead and get started. Welcome to our um pre-council meeting today at four o'clock here in the Lehigh City uh council chambers. Uh we do have a full council currently. We have council member Newell, Councilmember Harrison, Councilmember Stallings, Councilmember Freeman, and Councilmember Lockhart. So we're welcome each of you to the dais. Also, we welcome those who are with us in the uh room today. We welcome you. This is a pre-council meeting. Just a reminder, there will not be public comment during this portion of our meeting. Uh so we do appreciate that. And we appreciate that you're participating with us. Before we get started, we've asked uh council member Newell if she'll offer an opening prayer. Her dear Henley Father, we're grateful to be here together as a council and with our staff to be able to discuss the things and pretty into Lehigh and be able to make decisions that would best impact our our city and our residents. We asked the Henley Father that to be with all of our staff members and those who work through the city that they may be safe and protected. We asked you to have that spirit to be with us, that we can make good decisions, that we can show empathy, and that uh we can listen. Again, Henley Father, we're so grateful for the opportunity to serve. Thank you, Councilmember Newell. Okay, we'll jump into uh item number two, 2.1 the power purchase adjustment calculation report. Mr. Julies. All right. Um just wanted to get with you like we had talked about and give you an update on the results from um the power purchase adjustment clause. So that's as you recall a calculation we do at the end of the fiscal year to see how um our collection of our rates ended up being as compared to our wholesale market costs. Um additionally, just as just to remind you, um we had adopted the uh the rate study that was discussed in when did we do that? I think it was June. Uh May or June. Um as you recall, there's a proposed rate increase for this year, and that's about a four percent rate increase. Um when we did the calculation on the power purchase adjustment, the calculation came back that the effective rate will actually be a two percent decrease. So, although those are two separate buckets, so you have your rate and then you have the power purchase adjustment that only deals with the wholesale cost. And so although our rate increase went up to cover everything operationally in the power department, our wholesale energy costs came down enough because of purchases we made, the way things performed, that the net effective rate was gonna go down by two percent. So those are the results. Um, as compared to um other cities and Rocky Mountain Power. We stayed about the same as what we were before. Um that's without the fact that they may have raised their rates or lowered them, but that's where we're at. So that's the report. You don't need to approve anything or do anything different, but we'll just move forward with that. Just want to give you a heads up. Any questions for Mr. Eaves? It's good news. It is good news. Thanks, Joel. Thank you. Okay, item 2.2 quarterly financial report, Mr. Lundell. I'm waiting for something to come up. That's true. It'll work. Right. So um quarterly report uh from for financials.
