Lefs act a bit Traimsp rflaita CinflEYillKftGQ Reviews No-Faro The Park City Transportation Transporta-tion Committee met Friday morning to review a no-fare bus system contract proposed propos-ed by the Salt Lake Transportation Company. An extension in hours of ; operation and the inclusion of performance clause were the two main contract alterations alter-ations desired by the committee. comm-ittee. -,; . - Terms - As presented by SLTC President Charles Boynton, the proposal calls for a three-year contract with a company option to continue for an additional five years. A price tag of $16,294 was placed on this ski season's no-fare system with buses running from November 22 until April 17. Hours " of operation were slated to be from 8 mm. to 7 p.m. but - the committee members felt the system should run until 10 p.m. to serve restaurant customers. Llyod Stevens of the Claim-jumper Claim-jumper observed that it would be difficult to obtain . no-fare contributions from restaurant owners if the hours were not extended. Service provided beyond the terms of the contract : incur an additional $11.25 per hour, Boynton said, but he noted that other changes made to the proposal could keep the total cost close to the original estimate. Although SLTC would be able to stop service if the city does not make their transportation transpor-tation payments within ten days of due dates, the city would have no recourse expect termination if "reasonable" service is not provided. Still smarting from the much criticized bus system supplied last season by Lewis Bros., Stages, the Committee told Boynton it wanted a performance clause included which would penalize penal-ize SLTC) if it consistently failed to meet its schedule. The committee noted that termination of the no-fare system was . not a real alternative for the city since it must have transportation during the ski season. Boynton said he would study the performance proposals' pro-posals' presented by the - committee and then decide if, they were acceptable. Contact The document presented Friday called for a three-year obligation on the part of the city with SLTC being able to renew the contract for another five years. The second year's cost would be - increased five percent over the first and five percent of the second year expense would be tacked on for the third year. If the five-year option were exercised, each successive year's cost would be based on the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (computed by the U.S. . Department of Labor) plus two percent, or a seven percent hike, whichever is greater. City payments for the ' no-fare bus system would come due on the 15 th day of December, January, February, Feb-ruary, March, and April. : Dud-A-Ride SLTC would also provide a Dial A Ride service. The Dial A Ride would be on-call, point-to-point shared ' ride taxi which would carry up to 20 passengers for 50 cents a ride. Boynton said the Dial A Ride mini van would also . serve as a no charge backup , to the no-fare system in overload situations. Hours for the Dial A Ride are expected to be from 12 ' noon to 1 a.m. Contributions City Manager Wayne Matthews Mat-thews reported that contri-... butions to the no-fare system currently total $37,375 ' He expressed confidence that there would be little problem in raising the amount needed if the present level of support for the bus system continues. .

Dering revealed that Mr. Coffee has been coaxed out of retirement and will replace his replacement.

Questions and suggestions regarding electricity, your electric service or energy conservation are welcome. It It true that it costs lest to leave a light on than to keep turning it on and off? A Turning a fluorescent lamp on Ma and off will shorten the life of the tube. Therefore, it is better to leave a fluorescent fixture on for up to an hour than to switch it on and off. If it will not be needed for longer than an hour - turn it off. Regular incandescent bulbs, however, should be turned off when not in use. Three-way bulbs in table lamps can conserve energy if they are turned on higher wattages for reading and lower for conversation. Small wattage bulbs should be used in conversation and dining areas. Outdoor security lighting should be. put on a timer or photocell unit that turns it off automatically. Which is least expensive to operate my radio, stereo or TV? a A radio is least expensive, con- -lm suming an average of 66 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. A radio stereo record player combination consumes 109 kwh. A conventional ' tube-type black and white television uses 220 kwh. Tube-type color TV uses 528 kwh; solid-state color TV about 320 kwh per year. Size of the TV screen and wattage of radios and stereos all have a bearing on energy consumption.
