The financial report for September was presented by Ruth Hakel and Mgr. Alexander. Detailed discussion then took place on all phases of the report especially concerning the earnings of the gas division and the effects of not using incremental pricing in the future. Mgr. Alexander reported on the following items: 1. That he would have the past quarter budget report at the November meeting. 2. That the recently purchased cylinder liners for unit #7 were to be returned to Cooper Enterprises where they would undergo defect corrections and be chromed. This work is to be at no charge with Hutchinson Utilities paying shipping charges only. 3. That the steam boiler would need retubing in 1982 at considerable cost. Commissioner Daggett suggested that the problems be professionally analyzed and bids be offered on that basis. 4. That Marley Cooling Tower representatives were due to inspect and recommend corrections on various problems of the installation. 5. Introduced minutes of the October 15, 1981 meeting of United Power Association officials, Associated Consultants and staff members of Hutchinson Utilities. The meeting concerned a proposal by U.P.A. to furnish ten (10) megawatts of firm power to Hutchinson Utilities. The contract would go into effect January 1, 1982 and cease April 30, 1986. Under this arrangement, U.P.A. would install capacitors that would increase the capacity of the inter tie to also allow the purchase of a greater amount of Economy Power. Various other items discussed were the 5 mil wheeling charge, the option to invest in the Inter Tie System at this time or in the future would lower or eliminate the wheeling charge depending on the amount of investment. Lengthy discussion took place with all 1U Commissioners participating. A motion was made by Commissioner Tracy, seconded by Commissioner Daggett instructing Mgr. Alexander to send a letter of intent to United Power Association stating Hutchinson Utilities Commission's desire to purchase ten (10) megawatts Schedule "A" Participation Power beginning January 1, 1982 until April 30, 1986, as per United Power Association's correspondence dated August 7, 1981. The foregoing is subject, however, to negotiation and finalization of a formal written contract. Further, is was suggested that the formal contract with United Power Association covering the purchase of ten (10) megawatts should include and be incorporated into an updated version of the now existing contract between United Power Association and Hutchinson Utilities Commission. The motion was unanimously carried. Commissioner Daggett made a report on his recent attendance to a GLECO meeting in Washington, D.C. He stated that progress was slow but felt that after a year or so it should improve. President Filk commented on a meeting with Counsel Zelle concerning Curtiss - Wright litigation.
