NOTICE You are hereby notified of proposed modifications to the Town of Estes Park's electric rate schedules. The modifications Will allow demand metered residential customers the option to receive service under the General Service Small rate classifica- tion. This choice ·rests entirely with the customer. THE RATES CHARGED FOR ELECTRIC SERVICE UNDER EXISTING TARIFFS WILL NOT BE INCREASED. The modifications, if adopted, Will allow residential electric heat customers greater flexibility in choosing the rate category under which they receive service. Previously, by order of the Public Utilities Commission, all residential electric heat customers who connected to the Town's electric system after August 1, 1981 were required to take service under the Residen- tial Service-Demand Metered rate. Because most electric utility operations of municipalities have been deregulated, the Town is considering allowing residential electric heat customers to accept service under the General Service Small category. By taking service under the General Service Small rate, customers Will not receive a separate demand charge on their bills. Certain customers, such as seasonal users or those without load control devices, may realize a savings by taking service under the General Service Small rate classification. Other customers, who can control their load, may find their Residential Service- Demand metered classification is still more beneficial. The tariffs applicable to these service classifications are available for public inspection at the Light and Power Depart- ment, Municipal Building, Estes Park, Colorado (phone: 586- 5331). Because publication of the modifications in their entirety would be impractical, the public is invited to review the proposed changes during normal business hours. The Estes Park Board of Trustees will consider this proposal at 7:30 P.M. on April 26, 1988 at the Municipal Building, Estes Park, Colorado. Any electric customer of the Town of Estes Park may appear, either personally or through counsel, at this hearing and provide testimony or comment regarding the proposed modifica- tions to the rate classifications. Additional information regarding either public hearing procedures or the proposed modifications to the rate classifications can be obtained from the Light and Power Department. SrT£\ PARK . Dale G.

There do not appear to be many differences in the town's and county's building requirements, but further investigation may prove there would be some benefits if the property were annexed. To avoid delay in the future, it would be good to have authoriz- ation now to proceed with annexing if it is determined it would be advantageous for our project. RLD:cj P, O.
