Another question on the consent calendar next week.
Why are we paying, this month, $36,638 for the operation and maintenance of the co-gen facility at the sewage treatment plant when the city has given all that power generation to SME. They SME should be paying these costs and also paying us back for the monies spent on this facility to date.
Another crazy deal Lawton and the old guard commissioners commissioners gotten us into......
Check out the animal shelter staff report which says 'there will (!?) be a need for the city to participate in the cost of (animal foundation's shelter) construction.' Says who? By what decree? Was there a public hearing on such funding? The Animal Foundation should be commended for their fundraising efforts, but where by city commission action is there ANYTHING on paper making such a promise???
I know why Marathon Oil sued the City of Great Falls...it's a BS claim by Marathon to try and get non-responsible parties to pony up some money for their mistake.
The City should be pushing to be reimbursed by Marathon for this frivolous claim. Won't happen.
Please note that the payment of $709,529 is "a" payment for "some" power in April.
Looking at the $5,000 report in the consent agenda reveals that there has never been a documented payment for power until Jan 2008.
The first payments reported in the consent agenda for power were:
ELECTRIC JAN. 22, 2008
SME SEPT ENERGY IMBALANCE ADJUST $54,752.44
SME OCT ENERGY IMBALANCE ADJUST $75,948.12
The next payments were
ELECTRIC FEB 5, 2008
SME PMT OF ENERGY SUPPLY EXPENSE JAN '07 $21,506.51
SME PMT OF ENERGY SUPPLY EXPENSE FEB '07 $20,496.37
SME PMT OF ENERGY SUPPLY EXPENSE JUN '07 $8,638.76
SME PMT OF ENERGY SUPPLY EXPENSE DEC '07 $708,760.19
Notice the Feb 5 2008 payment for December 2007 of $708,760 because
March 18, 2008
SME PMT OF ENERGY SUPPLY EXPENSE DEC 07 $63,251.29
SME PMT OF ENERGY SUPPLY EXPENSE JAN 08 $719,845.31
and what about Jan payment of $719,845 on Mar 18?
DATE: APRIL 15, 2008
PMT OF ENERGY SUPPLY EXPENSE JAN 08 $57,202.60
and when will the "imbalance" charges be paid?
Funny thing is if you take the contracts ECP has and divide by 12 for a monthly average you get
$693,171 per month.
