Dear Commissioners:

TELEX 643518
HydroPool, Inc. ( "HydroPool ") is negotiating the purchase of
a 12 megawatt hydroelectric facility (the "Facility ") which
will produce approximately 90,000,000 kilowatt hours per year
(the "Output ") . We have discussed with Rufus Alexander and
Don Swanson the possibility of selling the Output to the
Hutchinson Utility Commission ( "Hutchinson ") on a long -term
basis. We now propose that HydroPool and Hutchinson conclude
a power purchase agreement on the following terms and
condition:
1. HydroPool will sell the
Output to
Hutchinson over a
17 -year term
beginning
in 1987 and ending with
the
expiration
in 2003 of
the FERC
license for
the
Facility.
Hutchinson will apply jointly to relicense the
Facility, and will share the cost pro rata. If a
2. HydroPool
will own,
operate
and maintain
the
Facility.
HydroPool will
deliver
the Output at
its
expense to
the 69 KV
terminals
of the Hutchinson
Substation.
3. Hutchinson will pay HydroPool four and one -half
(4.5) cents per kilowatt hour of Output delivered
for years 1987 through 1996 and five and one -half
(5.5) cents per kilowatt hour for years 1997
through 2003.
4. Upon expiration of the FERC license, HydroPool and
Hutchinson will apply jointly to relicense the
Facility, and will share the cost pro rata. If a
new license is obtained, Hutchinson will own a 33.3
percent interest in the Facility and the Output,
and HydroPool will retain a 66.6 percent interest.
We expect the cost to produce the Output in 2003
will be two cents per kilowatt hour, exclusive of
debt service.

5. HydroPool will negotiate in good faith with
Hutchinson for the sale of HydroPool's interest in
the Output at a fair and reasonable price beginning
in 2004 and for the term of the new license.
If these terms are acceptable to Hutchinson, please sign the
letter in the space provided below. This letter then will be
a binding agreement between HydroPool and Hutchinson. The
letter will not bind HydroPool and Hutchinson to conclude a
power purchase agreement, but it will bind the parties to do
the following:
1. Following execution of this letter agreement by
Hutchinson, HydroPool will disclose to Hutchinson
the identity and operating history of the Facility
so that Hutchinson can evaluate the Facility and
the Output.
2. HydroPool will endeavor to conclude promptly a
purchase agreement for the Facility. Hutchinson
will keep confidential the identity of the Facility
until such time as HydroPool has concluded the
purchase agreement.
3. Hutchinson and HydroPool in good faith will seek to
negotiate a power purchase agreement on the basis
of the terms and conditions listed in this letter.
4. For one year from the date of this letter,
Hutchinson will not negotiate or conclude an
agreement with any party other than HydroPool for
the purchase of the Output.
5. This agreement will be interpreted and enforced in
accordance with California law as applied to
agreements made and performed in California. In
the event of any- legal action to enforce this
agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to
attorneys fees and costs.

This proposal will benefit Hutchinson. It provides a long-
term supply of power at a fixed price from a reliable source
without the risk of a take or pay contract. As part of the
proposed rate, Hutchinson receives a substantial future
equity interest in the Facility and an opportunity to secure
the Output for the future at a reasonable rate.
We have requested this relatively formal statement of intent
because this will influence our negotiation of the purchase
agreement for the Facility. For the same reason, we ask that
you respond as promptly as convenient. This proposal will ,
terminate October 17, 1986, if Hutchinson has not accepted
before that date.
We appreciate your cooperation and your timely consideration
of our proposal. We look forward to a long and mutually
beneficial relationship.
Very truly your ,

REF: Hydropool i,'nolesale Power Proposal
A meeting was held at the offices of Associated Consultants on
Wednesday, September 10, 1986 with the following in attendance:
COPT T Rufus Alexander - Gen. Mgr. Hutchinson Utilities
Ivan Gold - Hydropool, San Francisco, CA.
Craig Lind - 11 It 11 "
Don Swanson - Associated Consultants
Ivan Gold said Hydropool has been negotiating on the purchase of
a 10 -12 MW Minn. Dam with access to the transmission system of Northern
States.Power. They are trying to find a market for the power and at
the suggestion of MMUA attorney Andy Shea contacted the Hutchinson
Utilities to see if they might have interest in a long term hydro
power purchase agreement.
We outlined Hutchinson's power situation including transmission,
availability, generation capabilities, demands, wholesaia power agree-
ments,.and local governing arrangement.
After learning of Hutch's situation Mr. Gold said tney could offer
HUC power delivered to Hutchinson at a levelized rate of 4 - 4.5c per
KWH for ten.years with some increase for the following 7 years. After
17 years they would request for an extension of their operating permit
or perhaps negotiate a sale for a portion of the facilit;' to Hutchinson.
Mr. Gold then, asked if HUC might be interested in such an arrange-
ment, and Mr. Alexander said that would be up to the Co,;;ission, but
if Hydropool wished they could send HUC a letter of intent outlining
the proposal in writing. He also told Mr. Gold to either contact him
or Associated Consultants if they required further background in-
formation to make up their letter.
Don Swanson said to sweeten their proposal they should offer HUC
a favorable ownership option as part of their proposal.
Upon parting we were advised a letter of intent would be forth-
coming from Hydropool to HUC within 7 - 10 days.

#84971 Wholesale Power
REF: Hydropool
Hydro Power
Received a call from Hydropool in San Francisco inquiring further
into HUC's present wholesale power arrangement.
They exclaimed as to what a good deal the Hutchinson Utilities
has in regard to the contract with UPA, especially the' recently negotiated
10 MW plus Economy Energy for the balance.
They wondered how they might possibly sell levelized 40 - 45
mill /KWH hydro power to HUC. I again said Hutchinson;�Commission might
consider a very low cost capacity ownership by HUC at the end of the
Contract. This could in effect make for an unofficial lease purchase
arrangement similar to an auto lease with a low cost purchase option at
the end of the lease. Unlike an auto an electrical dam if maintained
should have more value at end of the lease then beginning, assuming
inflation increases other sources of electrical power.
The Hydropool people were amazed at the weak 69KV interconnection
of Hutchinson, but when I told them of plans to connect Vj,NSP's higher
voltage line, they said that makes real sense.
