Minutes from the July 15, 1992 meeting were approved as corrected.
2. INFORMATION SHARING:

Dennis Sumner reported that he had encountered some problems while
preparing to broadcast the EMF video on Channel 27. Some changes
have to be made to the format of the video prior to broadcasting.
2. Colorado PUC Hearing:
John Allum reported that the Colorado PUC held a 1/2 day hearing on
Monday, August 17, on EMF. The PUC will be issuing a rule in
approximately three to four months and it is anticipated that they
will include language on "prudent avoidance." John mentioned that
this does not directly impact Loveland/Ft. Collins.
3. Rates:
Board Members asked about the Douglas Bruce Ballot. Staff reported
that the timing of Douglas Bruce is somewhat awkward considering the
rate increase being recommended. Staff also reported that the
Ordinance and Resolution on Option 5 passed on first and second
reading unopposed. The intent of staff is to develop cost of
service information and a comprehensive report and have this
available for the Board in October.
4. Energy Efficiency Activities:
Don Botteron passed out the Agenda Item Summary and attachments
related to Energy Efficiency Activities. Don mentioned that
Council's reactions to the suggested changes to the Energy Policy

that had been done by the various Boards and Commissions. The
changes suggested by the Electric Board on cost-effectiveness and
evaluation of fossil fuels, were incorporated into the policy.
