Councilman David Sanders proposed an amendment to the motion to include for authorization Supv. Meacham to proceed with sending the letter to UP&L to begin negotiations. Amendment was accepted by Councilman Purdy, seconded by Councilman Sanders and passed by the council. IT WAS his recommendation that they do not consider selling the property and a lease be for surface use only. Supt.

A copy of department of energy information letter was circulated to the council advising that a proposed rate increase is underway for CRSP power. The proposed rate will increase the monthly capacity charge from $1.34 to $1.93 per kilowatt and the energy charge from 3.4 to 4.5 mills v per kilowatt.

Walt Meacham gave a report from the electrical department.

COUNCILMAN Purdy questioned how big an addition they would need and Mrs. Welling advised that board member, Ray Odd was checking on this, but they definitely felt the present location was preferred.
