The board has underfunded the Capital Reserve Fund for years. Now that a new law goes into effect January 1, 2025  the board has to come up with 1.2 million each year to fully fund the Capital Reserve fund as Dan said at Meet the Candidates. Therefore the board needs the over 600k per year that is spent on the Optimum bulk cable contract to fund the Capital Reserve fund. This is why they are not reviewing or replacing the bulk contract.
