NATIONAL'S PROPOSAL AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL; CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE ENERGY RESOURCES CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION District Counsel Simon informed the Board that he has not yet received a copy of the agreement between C. P. National and the District for review, but should receive a copy in time to make a recommendation at the next reg- ular meeting. The agreement between the District and the State Energy Re- sources Conservation and Development Commission, he stated, seems to be in order. The matter was put over to the December 21st meeting. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING AND CLARIFYING ORDINANCE NO. 8118 WHICH INCREASES ELECTRIC RATES President Maass noted that the request by Sierra Pacific for a two phase rate increase has been amended - SPPCo is now requesting a 39% in- crease effective January 18, 1982, and an 8% increase on June 18, 1982, rather than the two phase 50% increase originally filed. The request is presently before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and being pro- tested on behalf of the District by Special Counsel, Martin McDonough. General Manager Holt advised that the requested increase includes the variable fuel adjustment clause. It was noted that, if this is the case, the increase will be considerably.higher- in the vicinity of 65 o rather than 39 0. Discussion ensued regarding the energy cost as billed by Sierra Pacific, the fuel clause adjustment and the District's retail rate. Manager Holt ex- plained Phase I and Phase II of the increase. The pros and cons of changing the rate to PUD customers on the 18th of January or the beginning of the February_ billing cycle were discussed, and the results explained at the request of Bob Sutton. Director Kuttel noted the, many complaints he has received from the customers of the District. President Maass suggested that the Manager ask Mr. McDonough to be present at the December 21 st meeting, at which time a public hearing will x be held to further discuss the SPPCo rate increase, what effect it will have on the District, and how to pass the costs on to District customers. An ordinance respecting the rate increase will also be considered by the Board at that time. Director Kuttel moved, and Director Corbett seconded, that the Board rescind the motion adopting Ordinance No. 8118, increasing electric rates. ROLL CALL: Monson,, absent; all other Directors,, aye.
