WHITE JENNIFER J. STOCKER 303-667-1023 May 24, 1988 Robert L. Dekker, Director Light and Power Department Town of Estes Park P.O. Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 RE: DEVER PROPERTY Dear Bob: This letter is written in response to your request of May 11, 1988, concerning the Dever property in the Meeker Park area. It is my opinion that the Town, pursuant to the provisions of Section 31-15-713 1 (b), may dispose of the property. The proper procedure would be for the Town Board to pass an ordinance authorizing the disposition of the property back to Mr. Dever. Since it appears that the property that you are presently using is not the piece of property that was deeded to the Town in 1958, it is my opinion that the Town should quit claim deed back to the Devers both the property subject to the 1958 deed and the property currently being used by the department. In order -to prepare the necessary ordinances and deed, I would need a legal description of the parcel presently being used by the Town. If you have any further que,tions, please do not hesitate to give me a call. ~Uy trply yours, // 4 619{ Gr ory A. White GAW/dkc

.4 Recently a commercial account was discontinued for non-payment on their account. A week later they applied for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and as a result the Light & Power Department could not apply the deposit to their account. At the time bankruptcy is filed the deposit becomes an asset of the trustee. The total potential loss on this particular account could amount to (+/-) $2,500. As a result of this, I began looking into how the Town could protect itself from this recurring. The most protective method would be to apply any deposit on hand immediately to the account upon disconnection and require a new deposit be paid (along with any outstanding charges) before service would be reconnected. Historic losses: 1988 (YTD April) Losses 1,607.64 = .09% = Sales 1,814,435.80 1987 Losses 5,193.01 = .12% Sales 4,192,552.50 1986 Losses 5,366.00 = .13% = Sales 4,271,575.00 Historically losses have been minimal, compared to total utility sales. Advantages: (1) Maximum protection of utility revenues; (2) Deposits would be kept current on problem accounts. Disadvantages: (1) Setting amount of deposit to current requirements, substantial cash may be required from customer; (2) Policy must be consistent to all customers, unless the Town wants to go through hearing process to amend tariffs; (3) Staff time, board members' time; (4) Public relations. Possible recommendation: (1) Most restrictive - apply deposit and require a new deposit under current guidelines; (2) Less restrictive - apply deposit but require existing accounts with deposits to bring the deposit back to the previous amount and any other outstanding charges. Any account upon which a deposit has been refunded would be required to pay a new deposit under the cur- rent guidelines; (3) Do nothing - maintain policy; (4) Committee suggestions:

The rules and regulations for discontinuance of electrical service promulgated by the Public Utilities Commission of the state, and as set forth in the town's tariff sheets implementing the rule and regula- tion of the Public Utilities Commission, as are on file with the Commission, referred to in this title as the "discontinu- ance regulations, " is enacted, adopted by this reference and , incorporated in this chapter as if set out at length. Three copies of such regulation are now filed in the office of the town clerk and one copy is now filed in the office of the superintendent of the light and power department, and may be inspected during regular business hours. (Ord. 22-80 §1, 1980). 13.00.040 3. 'Service may be discontinued for nonpayment of past due service accounts, for nonpayment of any required deposit, or if service to the user's equipment is detrimental, in the opinion of the department, to service to other users served by the department. If a user is receiving service at more than one location, service at any or all locations may be discontinued for nonpayment of any past due service account if, after transfer of the past due account pursuant to Section 13.08.050 A, user fails to pay an account in full within the period prescribed in Section 13.08.060. 5. In the event of disconnection by the town for any of , the foregoing causes, and after evidence is submitted that the cause for disconnection has been corrected, electric service may not be restored until payment of a combined disconnection and reconnection fee of fifteen dollars, unless said reconnection , shall be requested and performed during nonbusiness hours of the department, in which event the combined disconnection and re- connection fee shall be thirty dollars. The nonbusiness hours of the department are defined as between the hours of five p.m. and eight a.m., Monday through Friday, weekends and any federal holiday or holiday observed by the town. (Ord. 13-83 §1, 1983; Ord. 18-80 §1, 1980; Ord. 366 §1(part), 1969: prior code §7.3-4).
13.08.050 1. Service Deposits: The department may, at any time, B. require that the user maintain a deposit with the department of a sum not exceeding an estimated ninety days' bill or a satis- factory guarantee of the payment be made for service for a like period. Such deposits will not be considered as advance payment for service bills and will be applied as credits to users' accounts only after service has been discontinued. The deposit may be in addition to any advance, contribution, or guarantee in connection with construction of any lines or facilities as provided for in the department's line extension policies. 'In · the event any person is in arrears to the department for elec- tric service, satisfactory arrangements must be made for paying for the old accounts in full before any application for new- service will be approved. 4. Users who have previously received service from the department shall be required to make a new or additional de- posit only if previous payment records include recent or sub- stantial delinquencies. . /O•- ..1 TOWN OF ESTES PARK Colo.

Western Area Power ~1EWS Administration U.S. Department of Energy P.O. Box 3700 FOR INFORMATION: Loveland, Colorado Mark N. Silverman (303) 490-7201 May 31, 1988 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER TO SAVE MONEY LOVELAND--The establishment of a joint water and power operations center (Center) by two Federal agencies and one State agency will result in savings of $5 million during its first three years of operation. In addition, the consolidation will yield additional power revenues of more than one-half million dollars annually. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Western Area Power Administration (Western) and Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (Northern) have agreed to establish the Center for the Fryingpan-Arkansas (Fry-Ark) and Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) projects in Colorado. Reclamation currently manages their part of project operations from a control center at Flatiron Powerplant while Western accomplishes power system load scheduling and transmission system management at a separate facility in Loveland. Northern operates and maintains non-power related facilities of the C-BT project. -more-
3 e Principles of Understanding, detailing the functions of the Center, to be situated in Western's Loveland office, will be signed by Reclamation's Regional Director Bill E. Martin, Western's Loveland Area Manager Mark N. Silverman and Northern's General Manager Larry D. Simpson, May 31, 1988, in Loveland. The Center will be staffed by Reclamation, Western and Northern personnel involved in water operations, generation and load scheduling associated with the two multi-purpose projects. C-BT facilities to be controlled from the Center include 10 reservoirs, 4 pumping plants and 6 powerplants. Fry-Ark facilities include 6 reservoirs and the Mt. Elbert pumped-storage powerplant. According to the agreement, Reclamation personnel at the consolidated operations center will continue to be responsible for scheduling the water operations of the Fry-Ark and C-BT projects. They will also continue to exercise direct control of all generation at the powerplants in the Fry-Ark and C-BT projects. Western's staff at the Center will be responsible for matching generation to load, dispatching certain non-Reclamation-owned generation facilities and transmission system management. Martin, Silverman and Simpson indicated increased efficiencies will be realized as Western and Reclamation personnel exchange load requirement, generation capability and water scheduling information on a continuing basis. Western's personnel at the Center will provide Reclamation with generation requirements, both scheduled and short-term unscheduled. Within -more-
tit . • 1 . constraints imposed by other project purposes, Reclamation will manage the water movement and generation to optimize the water and power resource benefits. Target date for establishment of the joint Center is March 31, 1989. ###
CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS DEPARTMENT OF UTILmES .% INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: January 12, 1988 TO: Jim Zalmanek FROM: Steve Johnson-J~ SUBJECT: COLORADO UTILI~ SERVICE TERRITORY The following is data relating to Colorado electric utilities that may be useful for future comparisons. I've segregated each utility by three classes; investor owned, municipal systems, and rural electric associations. A list of each is attached. The following is a composite of number of customers and service territory areas for each group. - NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS (data gathered from 1987-88 Electrical World Directory of Utilities): # of Customers % of Total Investor Owned 997,653 64.45% Municipal Systems 273,864 17.69% Rural Electric Associations 276,390 17.86% Total 1,547,907 100.00% SERVICE TERRITORY: The service territory data was collected by contact with each utility. The PUC apparently didn't have the data available. Many of the respondents did not know the exact square mileage and gave us estimates. As a result, the totals equaled 115,350 square miles while the State of Colorado contains only 104,247 miles. In order to normalize the result, I reduced each grouping by multiplying each by .903745 (104,247 : 115,350 = .903745). The results are as follows: Survey Adjusted % of Sq.Mi. Factor Sq.Mi. Total Investor Owned 11,920 x .903745 = 10,773 10.33% Municipal Systems 1,196 x .903745 = 1,081 1.04% Rural Electric Assn. 102,234 x .903745 = 92,393 88.63% Totals 115,350 104,247 100.00%
