Mr.Unze reported to the Committee that Cablevision will be putting
up a new building which will house the stand-by power equipment.
Town Administrator Hill informed the Committee that according to
the Permit,they would need to either give Cablevision an extension
or assess a penalty for the deficiencies.The Committee recommends
giving Cablevision an extension until January 1,1983,to correct
the deficiencies but made it clear that this would be the last
extension given.Any further deficiencies would be assessed a
penalty.
The Committee received a letter from Mr.Unze dated August 13,1982,
requesting a new pole rate of $1.90 per pole per year.The Committee
recommends waiting until after the pole audit to determine what
the pole rate should be.
RESIDENTIAL DEMAND CHARGE INQUIRIES:
Mr.Kevin Colleran appeared before the Committee to express his
displeasure with the new “demand charge”electric rates.Mr.
Colleran explained that he had recently purchased a condominium
and was being charged a demand rate which had been established by
the builder.Director Dekker explained that this was a PUC regulation
and as such,the Town did not have any control over this situation.
The Committee concurred that they could do nothing to help Mr.
Colleran.Director Dekker suggested that when the rate consultant
comes up again,they have him look into this situation.
