“Well, I guess the point I'm trying to make is, is we shouldn't let the six letters influence our decision because they already have plans. They already have a plan, right? I mean, that's all I'm trying to say. And I wanted to make sure that Rex understood that we're not preventing them from having a plan because they already have a plan. But my point is, I do think it's a good idea, but I do have a technical question. And that is in the capture areas. Right. So and I'm familiar with the city of Elko capture areas. You know, when you have development or rangeland or you have maybe grazing and…”

“And so the thing is I want to just make sure, you know, sometimes you find something out and then I would want to make sure that NDEP doesn't come back and, They don't have any authority to enforce it.”

“What I think is, what I recall the cutoff is four. Four connections or more is a community system. Anything under that is not. So there are some of those that are out there. So, I mean, this could be a pretty big problem. And maybe you've already got it accounted for. I don't know. There's just the questions I have. I mean, I think for the best practices, I think that makes sense. But again, we're going to do, I guess Elko County is going to do the best practices as it relates to everything outside of the incorporated cities. And the cities and the Great Basin Water Authority are going to…”

“Well, I think it's good to have a robust discussion Rex. And you know, like I said, I think it's in the best practice, but we also need to be careful because I'm going to use this as an example, but you have one water authority that, you know, if they, say that, you know, this is part of our plan. Next thing you know, they're going to the PCUN and raising rates and using this plan to justify those rates. I think all of those things we need to be cognizant of, right? I mean, we need to understand that.”

“And I had a few thoughts too that I wanted to add. So what I recall, Rex, was last year when we had a conversation with them, they had informed us that this was the legislature that required them to have a plan. It doesn't, didn't specify what the, but the plan, it's very specific. It says that you have to have a de-energization plan, but they could set up the matrix like Lee referenced it. So And the other thing I recall them saying was that they said that we could say, hey, we want you to turn it back on. But as I recall, that shifted the liability to us. But here's the fundamental issues…”

“So this is possible action, gentlemen. And I do think that we should, whatever. I mean, I'm disappointed with the response. I mean, and I think that Lee's got some, I think we all have some great points. And I think that we should draft some type of a letter and see if we can't get that needle moved a little bit.”

“You know, so you have Mount Charleston, you know, I mean, but that that would probably be a fraction of Clark. I mean, an insignificant fraction. So, you know, I'm just trying to keep it. keep it you know at our perspective because when you wipe out half of the and then you're these critical pieces that Lee's talking about these guys are on that same part of that substation the hospital the hospital our treatment plant our traffic signals our airport it is a huge outage”
