Mounds View City Council Page Eight Regular Meeting June 22, 190 2. Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, introduced Mike Ulrich, Public Works Foreman, to review the item regarding peak control electric rates for wells. Ulrich pointed out to the Council that there would be a substantial savings to the City, approximately $17, 132, by participating in NSP's Peak Control Rate program. Councilmember Rickaby asked what the City would do if there were a major fire during the time that the City was not operating these wells at the time. Minetor stated that the City would receive a penalty for using the wells at a peak time. The penalty would probably equal the savings that the City would receive for the year. Minetor stated that the first approach the City would take would probably be to contact people using outdoor water and have it turned off. Ulrich further indicated that within five years using this program the City could have the emergency generator paid off.
