Tom's Report
• We met with Norris PPD on electric power for the wastewater plant. At this point in time, Norris would rather serve the plant than allow us to. I have talked with Mayor Foster about this and it is on the agenda for the next committee meeting.
• In North Platte for the annual rate review meeting. Our Power Supply and Finance Committees are meeting on this tomorrow. I have talked with the Mayor and Jerry about this and will have a lot of talking points on this in the very near future.
• Currently working on the One and Six Year Plan and Jerry and I have been working on the SSAR submission. It has changed this year is to be done online.
• The engineer and contractor on the 13th Street project are giving their best effort to have all of the 13th Street project open by Friday. I am encouraged by their effort and expectations.
• We have been in discussions with the majority property owner on improvement district 2013-7 and I believe we can come to an arrangement to get it done with property owner participation.
