Um hopefully we really don't have that many more expenditures uh you know if we get many more 85 degree days moving forward. Um, and you can see I also put the locks in place for diesel fuel, which we have not hit the $50,000, but we will be very close. And the unled gasoline, um, where those prices, we are either if we hit $50,000 or June 2026, whatever comes first. Um, so the other things with energy procurement, we are under a separate agreement. So not related to the uh update I gave above for our electricity usage where we have about 10 cents per kilowatt for supply and you know that provides us some cost stability through October 2026. Um you know there's a lot of obviously current economic conditions that are playing into some of these prices going into next year. We have not been able to lock at this point.

So, um just I just want to understand this a little bit which is we got the air conditioning uh which if the hurricane hits in August, we could have that air conditioning running 247. >> Correct. >> Because it could be 80 degrees and disgusting humidity >> and so that's what it's there for. Then beyond that, we've got the refrigeration or freezer. Does a freezer run 24 hours a day?

You got the Smith family down the road been the same house for 20 25 years sitting on a ton of equity. [snorts] You know, realtor said, "Oh, your house is worth 350." You put on the market, you're starting to see this a little bit now. They're not moving. You're not seeing homes sold in, you know, 48 minutes anymore. [clears throat] Well, people drop the price 20,000. They can do that. They still got a ton of equity or 30,000 or 40,000. The developer can't do that. So, in the short term, new homes win because everyone wants the whistles and bells, you know, granite countertops, you know, or plumbing, all that nice stuff. You know, they'll want that. But if [laughter] the community comes to shovel and they want a home in a nice area, suburban or exurban area, they'll look at an existing home that's dropped price 30, 40, $50,000, and the elderly homeowner will still get a nice payout, you know.

My understanding is there's a shot clock in college? There is. It's a 90-second shot clock from from the other end of the field. So, if your goalie makes a save, it's 90 seconds from there. So, I mean getting up the field is all part of the shot clock. >> Got it. Okay. Which I was talking to you um someone's dad. Um Oh, Dave Forster. He was saying that at one of the towns, maybe in New York, was testing out a shot clock in in uh one of the New York high school games. It has been discussed at various times at the high school level. Um I I don't necessarily think it would be a a bad idea, but you need someone who knows how to work a clock to do that. >> It's agree. I think that may be as big a challenge as as anything else.

We are meeting with an energy consultant on Monday to evaluate the current market pricing and evaluate potential options for securing future fuel rates and also electricity. Um but you know there's a lot of uncertainty in the market. So usually we like to lock in April. I just don't know if that's a re realistic target for where we are right now. Um so that's energy procurement. The next is the insurance advisory study group. They presented at the town council on Tuesday with some of their findings. If you are not able to watch the town council meeting, I just put like a very high level overview of their recommendations for the town of board of ed. Um they noted that the members are taking appropriate care to catch conditions early and that the overall cost performance was favorable and you know they also acknowledged that we had important differentiators including preventative care utilization, annual wellness visits, dental cleanings and preventative cancer screenings.

And I clouded of course I clouded that. Um Okay. Yeah. And if anyone is interested in um what the different revisions were between the plan sets.

There's Ava trying to So, she's working through um You you could make a case that that is a charge. Um she is bulling her way through defenders who seem to have position. Not something that's called all that often, but I It certainly looked like that that could have been called. >> Got it. Okay. I actually didn't realize that on the offensive side you can be called for a charge as well, which makes sense. Otherwise, you're just going to knocking defenders down. And in that case she she did get through the two defenders, but they they looked like they had pretty solid position, but yet she kept forcing her way through. It's funny. Three of the four goals are that exact same play where she's kind of finding to the from left to right around the net and that's the only time they're scoring right now.

the recommendations they had for moving into next year and also more long-term was transitioning from our healthcare management. We have a basic low model with Sigma um to a basic standard. It adds some pre-certification for select procedures. It's no additional cost to us. It impacts about 10 members, but it will help us save costs. Um they also recommended enhancing visibility of on-site resources, strengthening communication regard regarding existing services like virtual care, nutrition support and preventative care outreach. Um considering point of sale rebates and reducing reliance on unpredictable rebate revenue. Um, and for property and casualty, assessing excess umbrella coverage, confirming inclusions and exclusions in writing and determining if higher fiduciary liability is needed, and then considering going out to an RFP for broker services. We currently use USI for medical and acure for property and casualty. So, those are some of our uh their recommendations.

You could actually uh alternate those No, not a refrigerator. Do you shut your refrigerator off at home occasionally? >> Well, it's not that I unplug it, but it cycles on and off. You got to have the technology to do it. But that's all I was wondering about if any of these things could be off. >> It's still in refrigeration mode whether it's on or off, whether the compressor is running or not. >> Yeah, >> there's still a fan that's running. There's still air circulation that's you can't just shut off a refrigerator like every other hour and expect it to hold temperature. It doesn't work that way. of the of the three items of the three big items you mentioned, two of them have to be on all the time. And >> well, those are the biggest draws. >> Yeah. Yeah.

Much cantilever Yeah. Yeah. You could do that. I probably would add a third post in there. Or we're going to kind of space them What are they? 6 foot spacing? 7 foot spacing? Yeah, I'd probably add that third post there and use that spacing a bit for three divided by three instead of divided by two. Do these posts provide any type of lateral load stability or is how how is the lateral load taken care of between the Uh there's not provisions for lateral. I mean it's they're 2-in um 2-in hollow steel tube with a 1/4-in base plate. Um So the tree takes lateral load still but then then that's the dynamic component of the posts. Well, yeah, I guess I mean how it technically it can't take a dynamic load cuz there's not a there's not a fixed I don't it can't take a static lateral load cuz there's not a fixed attachment.

The set offense hasn't done much. And and and that may have been a set play. It's hard to say, but when they've been working it around the perimeter they really haven't been popping any cutters open to to kind of spring someone, so it ends up in the hands of their their most skilled scorer and she's left to do whatever ever it is she can. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, 4-4 game. I'm guessing that was an Ashland timeout for their first timeout over there. We got 4 minutes left in the uh second quarter. Got uh April break.

Um, so we were looking into that. There there was not a recommendation to move from Sigma for next year. There was a little bit of talk about the state partnership plan. I will say um that I have reached out to the state partnership to get a cost analysis of where we are with self-insured and the state partnership plan and it is still um from a financial perspective we are still well under if we go for a self-insured model. That is also due to our fairly low compared to others uh renewals for next year where we have about 6.9% increase for medical insurance where other people are seeing 20 to 30% increases. So the self- insurance model is still working for us. So that was that was some pieces of the insurance advisory study group. If you're interested in more, I do have their full um their full write up that I can share with with the board.

Okay. >> Yeah. Would be like buying a new car and you you're deciding whether uh you want a 2.4 L or a 2.8 L. >> Spend the money for a 2.8 L whether you need it or not. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It's going to benefit you in the in the future. >> But we did look at that. We looked at trying to go with a smaller generator to see if we could economize it.

Um but we can certainly put some cross bracing in on the uh on the posts if that's of of a concern. And you said the structural engineer thinks that's necessary I guess is the question. Who's the engineer of record and like what's needed there? There's only one engineer of record and that's the guy who's sealing the drawings as far as I'm concerned. And if you include that comment I will establish who the engineer of record is. Is that okay? What is the electrical connection now? Does it come out of a conduit and then goes into the bottom underside of the structure? >> Yeah, there was an existing um like 110 V landscaping circuit there and I just tapped into that. Uh-huh. And then it's it's hard conduit to the structure or does it have a flexible connection now? It's flexible right now. Okay, so it's flexible now.
