Discussion on the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) Carbon Free Power Project Re-budgeting. Dave explained that several months ago, the Town Council voted to participate in the Project which had a set budget limit. This budget had been expended and more funds were needed. This gave all Project participants the option to reevaluate participation in the Project. The Town had 10 days to notify UAMPS of its decision. Therefore; Dave called each Council person and explained the budget change and got their opinion on continuing or opting out. After contacting each Council member and getting their opinion, it was decided to continue with the Project, Dave reported to UAMPS that the Town Council wanted to continue pursuing the Project with the share of its cost rising about $3,000. The Council will want to re-evaluate the Project in March to make sure if it still wants to pursue the Project. G. Public Comments. There were no public comments. H. Financial Report.
