Mr. Day expressed that Kel-Ar Energy Consulting are agents for Louisiana Municipal Gas Authority and the town is members of LMGA and it is a great resource in terms of all things natural gas, one of the things we get for free is the rate services. Rates studies cost from $2,000 to $7,000. From the last three theyve taken all the financials and created an average, to figure out the best direction to proceed. The rates have not been adjusted since 2005. That along is factoring inflation which is on average about three percent a year which puts you at fifty percent increase and need to take in consideration. The rate structure that Kel-Ar Energy Consulting are suggesting is one that there are about 69 cities in LMGA currently and about eight percent of the cities have a rate structure that is identical or almost identical to this and it works, and it takes care of itself in the future, so you do not have to come in and do things such as this. The rate sign, how it was conducted and the main factors that goes into the rate sign. First, being priced for all utilities, which is what we are already doing, passing the cost of gas. Weatherization, we cannot predict. Cannot predict material unbudgeted expenses and inflation. Future Infrastructure Needs, which has been factor into the rate study that some money can be set aside for any appropriate.
