Special Meeting — Hutchinson Utilities Commission
Tuesday, April 16, 2013
Called to order at 12:01 p.m.
Members present: President Dwight Bordson; Vice President Leon Johnson; Secretary
Monty Morrow; Commissioner Anthony Hanson; Attorney Marc Sebora; General
Manager Michael Kumm.
Members Absent: Commissioner Craig Lenz.
Guests: Jeremy Carter (City), Mayor Steve Cook and Council Member Chad Czmowski.
President Bordson presented agenda item #2 first, regarding the criteria for new HUC
commissioner candidates. Recommended changes from the Board and HUC staff on
the new commissioner matrix were reviewed. This will be added as an agenda item to
the May regular commission meeting for further discussion.
GM Kumm presented a summary of recommended alternatives to the existing PILOT
formula. Commissioner Hanson commented he liked the alternative based on retail
revenues only, as those revenues appear to be steady. Commissioner Hanson would
like to see two to three years of historical wholesale financials to show specifically what
HUC can and cannot afford. He also suggested excluding shared services from PILOT
with the exception of roadway lighting. Commissioner Morrow expressed concern that
the retail side would bear costs for the wholesale side, when splitting the business into
retail and wholesale. This will be added as an agenda item to the April regular
commission meeting for further discussion.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hanson, seconded by Secretary Morrow to
adjourn the meeting at 1:03 p.m. Motion was unanimously carried.
