TO: MMUA General Membership
FROM: Dick Kirkham, Executive Director
SUBJECT: 1987 Service Territory Task Force Assessment
Subsequent to the City of Olivia vs. Renville - Sibley Rural Electric Cooperative
service territory intervention, which the Association intervened in before the
Public Utilities Commission (PUC), the City of Buffalo and other municipals,
find their efforts to acquire service territory from cooperatives operating
within municipal city limits again being challenged.
In these cases the power suppliers of the distribution cooperatives, the Gener-
ation and Transmission Cooperatives (G &T), have made claims for damages due to
the lost load and have filed with the PUC for status to pursue those claims.
Despite efforts to negotiate those claims for G &T damages, the cooperatives
have refused to negotiate at levels that would economically permit the acquisi-
tions to go forward as provided by the intent of Minnesota statutes.
The MMUA Service Territory Task Force and the Board of Directors are recommend-
ing that the Association support legal proceedings to clarify the status and
standing of the G &T before the PUC, and the G &T entitlement to damages. The
Association has invested approximately $135,000 in this issue over the past 5
years. This investment by the municipals has preserved and enhanced the posi-
tion of the municipal utilities under current state law and makes it possible
to acquire customers, either previously existing or new customers, within the
city service territory from the distribution cooperative at a reasonable and
just cost to both the cooperative and the municipal.
The cooperatives have taken the position that the municipals should not be
entitled to acquire those customers at any price or under any circumstance not
approved by the cooperative board of directors. The G &T damages issue is
simply another method that the cooperatives are using to forestall municipal
acquisition of service territory.
Reading of the WHEREAS clauses of the tvo resolutions will fully explain the
project. Enclosed you will find the assessment list which indicates the
approximate amounts that would be assessed assuming member approval. This
assessment will raise the 30,000_ that would be authorized by a positive vote
by the membership. It was initially estimated, when this issue was first
discussed and authorized at the 1984 annual meeting of the Association, that it
could cost as much as $300,000 to see this matter through to completion.
AS THE ASSESSMENT AUTHORIZED WILL BE A MANDATORY ASSESSMENT, IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT ALL MEMBERS VOTE ON THIS MATTER. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL
THE MMUA OFFICE OR A MEMBER OF THE 'TASK FORCE OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EVERY
EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO PROVLDE THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO MAKE AN INFORMED
VOTE.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL UTILITIES ASSOCIATION
A NON - PROFIT CORPORATION ORGANIZED
PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 317 OF MINNESOTA
STATUTES
(the "Association ")
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Association has
determined that it is in the best interests of the Association,
of the municipal utilities which are its regular members (the
"Members ") and of the customers and residents of the Members to
assist in certain legal proceedings related to the Members'
acquisition of electric utility service territory located within
the corporate limits of the Members; and
WHEREAS, the City of Buffalo ( "City "), a Member of the
Association, has initiated proceedings at the Minnesota Public
Utilities Commission (the "PUC Proceedings ") to determine its
rights and obligations under Minnesota law to initiate service
to a portion of the City's incorporated area currently located
in the service territory of Wright- Hennepin Cooperative Electric
Association ( "Wright- Hennepin ") and to determine the appropriate
standards for determining the value of the territory to be
acquired by the City and the price to be paid to Wright- Hennepin
for said acquisition; and
WHEREAS, United Power Association, a generating and trans-
mission cooperative supplying wholesale power and energy to
Wright- Hennepin ( "UPA "), has made demands for compensation

seeking a confirmation of City's position by an action for
declaratory judgement pending in the District Court, Tenth

affect the Members in future proceedings involving their acqui-
sition of electric utility service territory pursuant to the
exercise of their rights of acquisition provided for in
Minnesota Statutes, §§ 216B.37 through 216B.47 and therefore the
support of the Association and its Members in the UPA Court
Proceedings is critical to the preservation and protection of
the Members' statutory rights; and
WHEREAS, the participation of the Association in the UPA
Court Proceedings will require a special assessment of the
Members to pay for the costs and expenses thereof and, pursuant
to the ByLaws of the Association, the levy of a special assess-
ment requires the approval of two - thirds of the Members voting
upon said issue; and
WHEREAS, the pendency of the UPA Court Proceedings requires
a prompt determination of the Members which can most economi-
cally and efficiently be obtained by the utilization of a mail
ballot of the Members;
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the ByLaws of the Association,
Article II, Section 3 and Article VIII, Section 2 and Minnesota

tive in the same manner as if such vote had
