RESOLUTION - re Contract with the Bureau of Reclamation
City Attorney Murphy submitted a proposed contract between the
Bureau of Reclamation and the City of Redding which provides for the oL
City to obtain electric service from the Keswick Substation.
Councilman Pugh stated that the Power Committee has been involved
in this for some time and it is the Committee's recommendation that
the City proceed. Mr. Pugh said it appears, from the Power Com-
mittee's understanding, that it will be of great benefit to the City,
leading to a reduction in power costs to the City and to the residents
of the City.
City Manager Brickwood stated that it will not increase power rates
nor will it result in a tax increase; it will pay for itself.
Councilman Pugh concurred, stating that it will be self supporting.
