| put that number into the equation in my spreadsheet and now at the end of 25 years, there’s a $79.1 million
deficit. How is that going to get paid? This Board cannot commit to any future Board to authorize a bond

authorized after the current $37.5 million that is before you. So this is serious business. How is this going to
get paid? You don’t believe me? | gave you the spreadsheet. If you find an error, let me know.

Secondly, Mr. President, | did want to mention again the wastewater fund. The ordinance in question here is
O-17-31. Under this ordinance which we have discussed before, so | won’t go on in great length, the
wastewater fund would be brought into compliance with the city charter. The city charter says that items need
to be in the combined annual municipal budget or not be in. We have many items that are in, obviously, but
some are items are out like paving.

Also, Mr. President, | wanted to discuss one of the issues that is on for a vote tonight, a significant one, and
that is the proposed five-year paving plan that is set forth in R-17-92, which was recommended for final
