residential customers with electric space heat using over 20,00 0
kWh/yr . will no longer be provided the Residential Rate . The
letter identified four options . Mr . Sager reported he ha d
installed a demand controller and questioned how many deman d
controllers and thermal storage electric heaters have bee n
ordered/installed in Town buildings . In light of the recen t
computer conversion and hand-held metering equipment, Mr . Sage r
took exception to and questioned the Town's philosophy i n
suggesting customers convert to natural gas . Administrato r
Klaphake reported that the Town has realized enormous cost-saving s
due to reducing peak loading, and that Mr . Sager's questions wil l
be addressed during the February 10th Light & Power Committe e
meeting .
Louis O'Riordan suggested the Childrens Center obtain copies of th e
"Remember the Children" slide presentation and sell them to assis t
in raising funds . In addition, Mr . O'Riordan addressed businesse s
outside Town limits benefiting from the Town's advertising effort s
while they are not required to pay a business license fee, an d
repeal of the local food tax on groceries .
Odd Lyngholm stated that with or without their consent, businesse s
inside Town limits collect the 4% local sales tax for the Town ,
and, if the business is a member of the Chamber the busines s
receives referrals . A business located outside Town limits coul d
be a Chamber member, receive referrals and is not subject to th e
collection of local sales tax or the fee for a business license .
Those outside Town limits should pay their fair share, perhap s
equal to 4% of their gross which would allow all businesses to "b e
on a level playing field ." Mr . Lyngholm was advised the Town ha s
no jurisdiction outside the Town limits .
