Transferring $264,000.00 from Revenue Fund #15001792 to Water/Sewer Fund Capital Expenses- Utilities, Lines and Plants #77-80110-00-02 to pay for 1,200 electric read meters: General Manager Shadden — These meters were not budgeted for.

President Kahla — And this is eliminating how many meter-reader jobs? General Manager Shadden - One. One meter-reader is reading 1200 right now. So, we have loo
