Churchwell noted that we have the rate information from Xcel (approved by FERC) for the changes that will be in our new contract with them. He detailed the changes in rates with the new contract increases in demand cost and decreases in monthly facility charge. It was suggested that when water restriction rules and dates are put in the paper that City Hall explain that the rates are to keep the demand charges low to save electric cost more than for conservation of water.
Norma Pankratz talked about the welcome baskets she passes out to new residents. The contents change as new contributions are made. Norma gave a prison update including information on HB 1421. The bill has been changed by adding amendments that gives CDOC more freedom to take action such as to close one state facility or take beds from private prisons.
