He requested Council consideration of participation by the City as a member of M-S-R in the proposed purchase of a share of the Arizona Nuclear Power Project as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding and Assignment Agreement between El Paso Electric Company and the M-S-R. 3 Mr. Lindley advised that the estimated cost for the City' s proposed 25 megawatt share of the project would be $37 . 5 million. The total M-S-R share would amount to 150 megawatts at an estimated cost of $225 million. It is proposed that Redding' s share of the project be sold to the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) to extend the life of Energy Account No. 1 and displace the higher cost energy that otherwise would be supplied from Energy Account No. 2 . He stated that long term financing for the project is proposed to be by M-S-R Public Power Agency revenue bonds. The proposed "Take or Pay" contract to be negotiated with WAPA would support the project financing. Mr. Lindley recommended that Council authorize an expenditure of $166 , 667 as Redding' s share of the $1,000 ,000 deposit required in the memorandum. The deposit would be refundable subject to the terms of the memorandum and agreement. He added that an additional amount would be required after the first of the year in the amount of $1. 5 million, which could possibly be provided I by short term financing until long term financing can be arranged. III Mr. Lindley advised that it is expected that Energy Account No. 1 will expire in the year 1985 . At that time, Account No. 2 power will be used, which is estimated to be in the 55 mills per kilowatt hour price range range. Energy Account No. 2 power should last until about 1990 to 1992 . He said that the A.N.P.P. 6 project would enable the City to postpone the use of Energy ! Account No. 2 and provide additional energy for the Central Valley Project. [ 6 9/21/81 5 3 367 Mrs. Gard expressed concerns regarding several sections of the Memorandum of Understanding, including the uranium mining venture, responsibility for the debts of the other partners, and fi the cost of decommissioning. Mr. Lindley advised that the cost of decommissioning is not included in the share price but is included in the maintenance and operations cost estimate at about one mill per kilowatt hour. Councilman Demsher expressed concern about the liability of M-S-R in the event that early decommissioning is necessary. Mayor Pugh stated that WAPA would be responsible for the power and bond costs but the liability for decommissioning would be that of M-S-R. Mr. Demsher stated that the cost of decommissioning is an unknown amount of money and nothing has indicated that WAPA would pay for early decommissioning. He said they would pay the projected cost for power plus debt service, but any other liability would be ours. In response to an inquiry from Mrs. Gard, Mayor Pugh stated that the cost of insurance is calculated in the mill cost. t Mr. Lindley stated that the cost of decommissioning could be anywhere between $60 and $240 million, and based on a median figure, our cost would be somewhat under $1, 000 ,000 . This amount could be assessed over a number of years . 111 Mayor Pugh asked for a show of hands for those who wished to speak on this matter and advised that each speaker would be limited to four minutes. Randall Smith, Redding, was opposed to the City' s participation in this project and favored a referendum.

Leslie Johnson, Redding, was opposed to buying into a nuclear power plant and questioned the E. I.R. as it pertains to in- creased population. l' Frank Treadway, Anderson, opposed nuclear power for moral reasons and said it would be a bad financial judgment. He favored a referendum. 1 Jonathan MacAteer, Redding, spoke in opposition to the project r and favored paying more for another type of energy. i Richard Gray, was concerned about the potential health hazards and the disposal of waste. Sharon Hayney, Shasta County, said her main concern was the disposal of waste. ` Ed Limond, Redding, favored the project. He noted that many of the spokespersons were not from the City of Redding.

III Johanna Lyford, Redding, opposed nuclear energy and urged Council to seek other sources of power. Council Member Gard stated she has continued her research of nuclear energy. She stated that she is still opposed to the project for moral and health reasons and because it is still not economically feasible. Council Member Demsher read his statement to Council which is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. He explained the importance of this decision and the economic and moral issues which prompted his decision to not support this project. He emphasized his concerns regarding cost over-runs , plant safety, financial risks and several other areas of uncertainty. iCouncil Member Kirkpatrick stated it is Council ' s responsibility 6 to look to the future and make decisions to the best of its ability. He emphasized that each member will be making a i decision on this matter as the individual feels is right and though there may be a split vote on this issue, there is no split in the Council. 1 Council Member Fulton, stated that Council Members have been elected to assume the responsibility of making decisions . He feels this responsibility should not be put back to the people unless they demand it. He emphasized that there are benefits to II radiation as well as detriments. He said that the safe disposal of waste is continually being researched and feels a better method will be found. Dr. Fulton felt that many of the cost over-runs on nuclear plants are caused by the excessive restric- t tions placed on the projects. He felt the City should take advantage of this power source for the future citizens of 3 Redding. F 9/21/81 k M 369 Mayor Pugh concurred that Council Members have studied this issue long and hard. He said the nuclear industry has made many advances and felt that the technology will be devised to deal with the disposal of waste and other nuclear problems. He stated that the world is in a nuclear era and it is a world-wide endeavor to solve these problems. Mr. Pugh said the City has been on a program for a number of years to provide power to its citizens at an economical cost. He emphasized that the City ' s participation in this project does not forestall us from pursu- ing other power projects as well . He stated that everything in • the power field has risks and must be weighed and balanced. Mayor Pugh said the Palo Verde project is a good project which will fit very well into the City' s over-all power needs. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the City' s participation in the proposed purchase by M-S-R Public Power Agency of a share of the Arizona Palo Verde Nuclear Power Project from the El Paso Electric Company, and authorizing the expenditure of $166 , 667 as Redding' s share of the deposit required in the Memorandum of Understanding between El Paso Electric Company and M-S-R Public Power Agency.
