07-26-1982 HUCMRegular Meeting July 26, 1982 A luncheon was held at the Velvet Coach in Hutchinson that included the Utilities Commissioners, Commissioner appointee Dr. Tom Lyke, Mgr. Alexnader and 3M personnel - Tape Plant Manager Bob Teuber, Magnetic Plant Manager Dave Doelger and Operating Chief Rube Marohn. After the luncheon, all gathered at the Utility Commission Meeting Room. Ruth Hakel, Ivan Larson and Counsel Peterson joined the group. President Filk addressed the group citing the reason for the meeting was to discuss future plans for each entity. He remarked that the aim of the Hutchinson Utilities was to deliver availability, dependability and to keep a reasonable rate for the service rendered. Mgr. Alexander made remarks and discussed purchased power and hydro power. He then made a presentation of kilowatt costs as pertaining to 3M. He also informed 3M personnel of an additional underground line to be added. He discussed fuel cells, co- generation and natural gas. President Filk then asked 3M people what they saw in the future for expansion or other plans. Bob Teuber stated that he felt that co- generation was a dead issue. Dave Doelger said that keeping costs down was most important. Ivan Larson presented a rate profit and loss statement covering 3M in the Large Industrial Electric, Industrial Gas and Interruptible Gas. He also touched on incremental pricing. Bob Teuber offered that he was happy for the advance information concerning rates and that he could not see any plant expansion in his area. Dave Doelger could foresee no major changes but felt that the use of electricity may increase as technology changes. President Filk thanked the 3M personnel for joining us and invited their presence anytime in the future. The minutes and payables of June were then considered. 1 2 3 .
