HORMANS study stated that the cost of Kaysvilles power is 3. 1 cent per kwh. This was calculated by adding total cost of kwhs and kw demand and dividing by the number of kilowatt hours used in October. Mr. Bowmans study stated that in October the actual kwh cost was 1.9 cents because the kw demand cost portion is and should be recovered in the higher rate first blocks of the power schedule and should therefore not be figured in again. His study also indicated that this kwh cost should decrease to 1.37 cents when Kaysville obtains a firm con- tract for its supplemental power which could be on June 1, 1980. The study also stated that October was not a representative month due to extra high UP&L generated power costs caused by two of Utah Powers units being closed down makirig it necessary for them to provide Kaysville with expensive oil fire generated power.

SINCE AUGUST, CSA ofbeen opposing the hiring by the commission of the new county CAP ficials have CSAs chief of field operain Denver, Lewis Morris, met with the Davis County CAP Advisory Board and approved the boards action to rename the county agency to Community Action Agency of Davis County. THE CSA boss told the board that there will be hundreds of implications youll be working with from now on, that's the nature of tions the Community Action Program. N w, the new agency for underprivileged and minority groups of Davis County will reorganize its advisory board with at least 15 members one third of status, one third elected officials of their delegates, and one third comprised of other members. IF THE board is comprised of more than 15 members, the total must be a figure that can be equally divided by three, it was explained. The county commission also met last week to reaffirm their position, that being the e county will no longer sponsor the CAP after Dec. 31. WE HAVE allowed the CAP to use county facilities and office space for 90 days, afterwhich they must be moved into new quarters, said Commission Chairman Glen W. Flint. He said the commission has no hard feelings about the activities of the CAP, but it (commission) refused to continue in a position where they would receive constant harrassment from the CSA as they have for the past several months. THERE IS probably no other county in the state, and very few in the nation, that sponsor the local CAP, said Comm. Flint recently. We've been willing to support the CAP for the past six years but more recently we have been getting constant harassment from the CSA for everything we try to do. He noted that the county has earmarked $21,000 an- nually to the CAP. This will be discontinued effective the end of this year. |
