Member DeWitt asked how would money be saved by transferring the Electrical Utility
Distribution System?
Doug Yount, Development Services Director responded that it is a savings to the ARRA
budget, which currently pays $40,000 a month directly to Alameda Power and Telecom
(AP &T) for these services. AP &T would carry these costs through their rate structure
so the ARRA will no longer be responsible for making those payments.
Member Kerr stated that if AP &T owns this utility system, they would be better able to
plan and take care of it more efficiently.
Doug Yount stated that it makes sense that the entire electrical distribution system be
controlled by AP &T and not have it split separately.
Member DeWitt moved approval of the recommendation. The motion was
seconded by Member Kerr and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes -4; Noes -
0; Abstentions -0.
