departments have had .5 percent kilowatt one penny increase and there are other depends that are charging other rates that were negotiated over the past few years. this slide it's hard to see on the overheads i can appreciate but the 3.4 millions in the cycle is the impact to the general fund and overall impact for the power rates for next year is a little bit over 4 million if you include the gas >> if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. >> commissioners. i'd like to request it general manager kelly make a comment on this item give us a little bit
1:11 pm

1:14 pm
which taken as a whole was sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs that's the one thanking thing that's not included if we could quite frankly that's most appropriate but something we'll realize those rates along with, you know, others revenue provisions a budget adapted by commission whatever day we did that the would deem sufficient to meet our operating capital needs. and so where do you think it's more efficient to put it or do you want us to put it in or add what we've stated and add an additional sentence or in the
