He's not going to be able to get it fixed, so we need the council to speak. Yeah, there you go. Probably so. I'm going to go have breakfast.
No, he's talking about the same time. We had a meeting yesterday with an auditor I did, Kurt and Clay, Tina. And yes, we're looking at some way. We've offered $100,000. But we didn't just now say, we didn't just now say that. We don't know where it's at. We'll find it.
But I'm comparing like leaves. Equal to steel and diesel sale. That's not right. Steel, they sell way more diesel than lead. That's what the numbers we're looking at. So there's some discrepancies is what I'm saying.
We don't ask a favor. 21.6% of the total cost is what this breaks out to be. $823,000. Would you all, as the city's mayors, agree to take this number? And y'all go among yourselves and come back to us and tell us how you'd want us to pay. Take it off our back. Where y'all could disperse it among yourselves. Would y'all consider doing you an idea of how to disperse that that bill?
Yeah, it's not 55. It could be 45 for raglan or whatever the number may be.
I think everybody understands that. You see what I mean? No, that'll take it off us making that decision.
about how we disperse it, if that's something you'd like to do.
I think next year would be good if we could do that.
For example, and I'll use this example, 19th Street here in Pell City is ours. We maintain that. But we maintain that. And I think we helped Mayor Jessup pay 9 tenths of a mile. last year. Depot Street. And I think we did a road at Providence for Yadavich Road. We took care of that. 68,000. No problem. But, you know, we're going to help. Absolutely.
And I want to speak up for Mayor Lee. He did the right thing. We originally had this down in percentages. And Raglan was going to get a very small percent overall. He come forward and said the right thing to do is do it equally. And then he come back and said we need to take the road and pavement out of it and let it for safety, anything needed. They have general funds, but the money out of this $0.04 has to go, supposed to go, for pavement. And that's what we're going to do. We've already talked about it this year coming up for y'all.
In the cities. And we want to continue to maintain them. They're in the cities.
What street did we take in for Pell City and bring it up to standard and then give it to them? Trust Ferry? No, that was ours.
And we brought it up to standard again, and then we'd give it to the city of Pell City to take home, right? That's true. OK.
It should be anything. The only risk you run is the day you're making that switch over if the power did go out. Right. In that window of time. No man's land.
So. It'll take them that long to switch it over. No. It'll just be a matter of plugging in three phases.
I agree with you. You can look inside those switches. They look pretty good. It'd be my guess. It'd be wiser, like you said, to go with a new switch and then hold them alive for the warranty. Right. Because they're not going to warranty that old switch.
For the switch. That's right. The gas line's going to be run and stubbed up with no meter set. Until that generator's in place. And at that point, they'll set a meter, and he'll hook it up, whoever gets the bid. He'll hook in the gas line.
All the water, he's going to put all the water systems on GIS.
Leave it August. Leave it August. That'll give us.
Yes. No, we will go forward with this. But next year, like I requested, if they would come to the table and agree to tell us what part, how they'd want to divide that up, take it off us.
That 15,000, they did come down off 29,000. They did. That's correct. Yeah. And we sort of questioned them. And they said, well, we'll see if we can adjust.
