The increase is the result of the loss of supplemental power once purchased from Utah Power and Light. The new rate will take effect immediately. According to the council, 80 percent of Kaysvilles electrical needs were filled through the purchase of supplemental power from Utah Power and Light. The remaining electricity comes from the Colorado River - Storage Project (CRISP). rates of the city-owne- d The power from CRISP is guaranteed, at a fixed rate, but the electricity from supplemental sources is not. UP and L is no longer required to sell supplemental . power to cities like Kaysville, according to the Utah Public Service Commission. Kaysville, as a result, must now contract for more expensive power from the Hunter II power plant. As a member of the Intermountain Consumer Power Association, Kaysville City has now joined other municipalities throughout the state to buy part of the UP and L Hunter II powr plant. This purchase will assure the city of required power, said Steve Nash, an engineer for ICPA. Nash went on to say that an increase of 39 percent will still leave a $228,000 deficit for the utility at the end of the fiscal year and a $177,000 deficit at the end of 12 months. He said if the growth rate of the area isnt as high as projected, the 39 percent rate increase may be enough to offset the costs of the more expensive Hunter II electricity. A mild winter would also ease the load forecast. .. But Nash said if current load for- castings are correct, another rate increase is expected before the end of the fiscal year to offset the projected deficit. . The average residential customer who uses 600 kilowatt hours of electricity per month presently pays $28.64 for that service. A 39 percent increase will mean that same amount of electricity will cost $40.02, plus tax, or an $11.38 , KAYSVILLE Merchants in Kaysville, acting through the chamber of commerce, have designated their own redevelopment area, an indication of their displeasure with a consultants recommendation.

Veterans Days is Tuesday. per month increase. Nash pointed out that buying electricity from a power plant can be compared to buying a home. Once the home is purchased, the payment becomnes fixed, he said. He said Kaysvilles interest in CRISP was fixed to the cost of building and operating that plant, so the rates from that source will stay the same. But Hunter 11 costs a great deal more to build and operate. Since 80 percent of Kaysvilles power must now be purchased from Hunter II, the rates will be much higher, he said. Nash said if Kaysville had purchased more, CRISP power at the fixed rate, the present rate wouldnt be changing so much. Since the rate is fixed at the Hunter II plant and also at the CRISP plant, Kaysvilles electric rates shouldt raise at the same rate as UP and L, he said. With the increase, Nash said the Kaysville utility will be charging the same rate as UP and L. But he said UP and L will soon outdistance Kaysville because of rate increases. The 39 percent increase will not, however, bidance the books, the council was told. It would take a 64 percent increase to off set the deficit. But then at the end of the year, when the deficit was passed, a rate reduction would be necessary. The council rejected the idea of that large of an increase. hlwWTIUll F?AClll4c lVdUITd U.S. SENATE Jake Gam (R) Dan Berman (D) 433,610 150,418 U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES District 1 James Hansen (R) Gunn McKay (D) District 2 Dan Marriott(R) Bob Monsen (D) GOVERNOR Scott Matheson (D) Robert Wright (R) District ROY Lowell S.

He said East Layton residents voted down the extension by a margin in a bond election. He said he is also concerned about planning and zoning changes that may come about. He said he feels the big reason for the voter approval of the merger was that it just seems natural to some people.
