Okay, Mr. Bell Chamber, I believe we're ready to go again. >> Okay, thank you. Um, back to my train of thought. I've got lots of notes. I've been over this numerous times and started numerous directions, but I suppose we should have been able to predict where we are in about 1985, but we weren't. We didn't. Uh it became clear around 2000 though um because I was working with the city of London as treasur and we tried to forecast what it would take us to repair our sanitary sewer system and we didn't have any data. The staff didn't have the data because it wasn't required to be kept. We knew where they were. We knew that they worked but we had no idea how old they were. We had we had some idea of what the condition is, but we really didn't know what the remaining service life was because age will be a good predictor of some of that as opposed to just fixing it when it breaks. So, we really needed to do some really uh hard numbers. the municipalities have done that and you've done that in terms of your uh the data that you provided to your consultant and your consultants provided you with a with plan. Um the plan that you've been provided with says you need to increase and you've seen the numbers already. You need to increase your own purposes taxation by x% per year or every year for the next 10 years. only takes you 10 years. Um, that is part of the solution. I think I don't think it's unfortunately I don't think it's the full solution for you. >> You have because because uh, [Excerpt truncated on this listing page; use the official record for the full text.]
