2. Unit #1 was down for boroscoping and general maintenance.
3. Discussed outages. During one outage, Hutchinson Technology was without
power for an hour. During another outage, the east part of downtown (by
Shopko) was without power and then the entire town (except 3M, Hutchinson
Hospital and Hutchinson Technology) was without power.
4. Unit #8 is being reassembled. The reassembly should be completed in about
one week.
Old Business: None
New Business:
The June regular meeting will be held on June 24, 1996 at 3:00 p.m.
Regarding the water treatment system for unit #1, the equipment is not performing
up to specifications. The installation of a degasifier would decrease Hutchinson
Utilities' chemical cost. Counsel Prochnow has received correspondence from
Coster Engineering and Coster Engineering's attorney; Coster also sent quotations
for degasifiers (from different vendors). To avoid litigation, Coster Engineering will
install degasifier and reimburse Hutchinson Utilities for part of our chemical cost.
After discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Ward, seconded by
Commissioner Ackland authorizing Mgr. Kadrmas and Counsel Prochnow to
proceed with the above solution. Motion was unanimously carried.
There being no further business, a motion was made by Commissioner Ward, seconded
by Commissioner Ackland to adjourn the meeting at 4:00 p.m. Motion was unanimously
carried.
