They said adds on and and just deal with >> you know one thing that came up recently meeting with the OGO Foundation for Educational Excellence. when we're talking about the old Traber property and the importance of the effort between our two our village and the the village and the district to really find the necessary savings from that both right now that cost of $250,000 a year which was not a fun project to take on you know but I will tell you it's an important one when we think about the impact of next year or in two years from now when if we had still that property and we can't afford interventionists or we can't do other things because we are paying off we are paying for nostalgia right and that's an extremely important valuable part of our history um but but of when I was meeting with them they were say you know would there be any interest in let's say parts of the building being auctioned or some ideas like if when if and that project does go forward and it gets approval from the board are there some creative ideas to think about some of the uh things in that building that could go forward as revenue options so I'm just saying that this is a time where our community will have to get creative.

Um when I've met with some of our senators, they've talked about some of the going to our municipalities for funding support around some of these challenges. And so, thank you, Mayor Joe, for headed down state tomorrow. Um but I know that reaching out to other municipalities for support is really important. We've recently heard about reaching out to the Fox Valley Foundation and the Dunham Foundation for support for some of these things. So, these are real facts that we're facing. And again just to be clear that like the percentage of staff who at the district level we've last year to this year we had reductions and this year to next year we will have further reductions. So while we did jumpst start my first year some additional staff to get things going. We have already started to move in the opposite direction and proportionately we will have have a higher rate of reduction at the district level.

And I'm happy to go over that with anybody who has any questions specifically. I I I'm sorry. I know it's late. Um so when I went to Planefield in Planefield, Yorkville, these color counties had the same kind of situation for where they went from tier one to tier two. Had we had that $8 million, that graph would look a lot different because it would be $8 million this year. >> Yeah. >> Next year, >> every year that would be kind of the new baseline. >> Um but so missing it one year is is not just missing it one year, it's missing it into perpetuity. So hopefully um you know the formula will end up benefiting us one more year at some point but who knows um that's that's a long shot I suppose. Um but that's kind of that's that trickle effect. Um >> and quite frankly we don't know how long the state will be able to stick to it commitment of EDF.

That's the other wild card >> because as it stands now the federal government funding only for the state of Illinois continue the way it is because the state stated that it lost $8 billion that would have been flow through from the federal government to the state. That money has to be made up from somewhere else. the budget that was approved this year by the state, it was balanced, but by the the current projection, now that budget is now half a million dollars, half a billion dollars on the whole and the state can only fulfill its commitment to us if the state has the revenue to be able to pay for it. If they don't have it, they've already reduced it. When EBF first started in 2018, they were committed to 350 million a year. Last year, this year, they reduce that. They only appropriated 300.

And next year, they are promising to appropriate 300. If things get worse in 28, that 300 may go down. And then so the fixed amount that we expecting this uh next year may actually be lower. So those are all the things that keep me up which is why I can't engage in a talk because I got folks to pay and bills to pay. If if revenues equal expenditures then um should we go to 10 is that yeah okay we'll go to 10 4 I think the 2026 27 budget calendar and designate >> yes so this is it's is a requirement that the uh the board designate someone to uh to develop the budget And that's normally the CFO and we've actually started the process. So it's just um it's a formality that the board has to do just to designate someone >> that'll be up for vote next >> next next board meeting.

So >> natural gas reverse auction. >> So this is part of the ongoing effort by the administration due to the guidance from the board to look for all types of way to mitigate expenses and uh this is one of the ways we're doing that. In the past, we just um we contacted natural gas gas provider and they gave us the price and that was it. That's what we paid. Now, we know the cost of natural gas makes up a significant amount of our expenses. So, what we've done this year, the the current contract expires at the end of March.

What we've done is we did a reverse auction which is a novel idea whereby we had uh we contacted a number of uh natural gas provider and we saw it in real time to actually bid against himself. It's a race to the bottom. So we we saw it took about 15 minutes. We had about eight firms participate and it started out high and once they saw what their competitors were offering they were going lower and lower and so at the end of the uh the auction period we got the best pricing from Direct Energy and compared to how much we're paying today um we're looking at saving $177,000 three years minimally. >> Nice. Thank you.

Good afternoon, folks, and we are a little delayed. We're apologize for the three committee hearings on the hearing notice of Tuesday, March 24th, committees on transportation, energy, and intergovernmental rental affairs, the committee on energy, and it's at the 3:00 p.m. agenda. However, it's 3:21. We will also want to remind those that will be testifying that we will allow 1 minute for this particular session, and that decision-making will follow on this one agenda item. So, with that said, HB 2033, House Draft 2, relating to transportation, and it's a long, long Part 1. I will just summarize in saying that this is an omnibus bill with the many, many parts on it, and some of most of you are here that know and understand what's on it. It also requires sellers and the licensed dealers to ensure that the motor vehicle is equipped with a front number plate mounting bracket and device.
