The Planning Board can make no recommendation on the subject of Article 7. ARTICLE 2. The following report was read by William H. Parker, III, for the Municipal Light Board, which was accepted as a report of pro- gress: REPORT OF PROGRESS TO TOWN MEETING - ARTICLE 60 - Chapter 164A BACKGROUND For over twenty -five years municipal electric systems in Massachu- setts have pressed for statutory authority to join together to finance efficient generating facilities in order to produce the most reasonable power costs. The 1973 session of the Massachusetts General Court passed, and the Governor signed, a measure that amended the General Laws by the insertion of Chapter 164A, Locally owned and controlled municipal elec- tric systems now have available the means to obtain the most favorable cost of electricity. To enjoy the benefits of this new statute, however, each munici- pality must accept its provisions. BENEFITS TO READING The new utility law gives municipal electric systems the tools nec- essary to take advantage of broader based financing. It also gives them the authority to engage in regional power supply planning and development and therefore, make available to the community new sources of electricity. Chapter 164A provides the necessary authority for both the private utilities and municipal electric systems to participate in the New Eng- land Power Pool (NEPool). Private utilities now operate under this authority. Reading Town Meeting must approve Chapter 164A in order to allow the Reading Municipal Light Department to participate. NEPool is the regional planning and electric utility operation group through which both private and consumer -owned systems implement joint planning of electric facilities. These cooperative efforts make it possi- ble for utilities to build larger, more efficient generating units which are required by consumer demands for electricity. Adjourned Annual Town Meeting March 18, 1974 The new statute provides, for the first time in Massachusetts his- tory, the opportunity for our municipal electric utility to finance fut- ure supplies of electricity through revenue bonds. These bonds will be long term. They will be secured by revenues from the facilities fi- nanced. They will in no way affect the tax base of the community. Rev- enue bonds will produce lower cost electricity for distribution through our electric system than would be available from any alternative source. Financing of this kind is the most effective way our municipal electric utility can fight inflation. OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD ADOPT CHAPTER 164A SOON 1. To take advantage of the right to join NEPool and have a voice in planning the region's future electric supply. 2. To have the option to purchase by the use of its own lower financing costs a part owner -ship interest in large NEPool generating units being built by private utilities. 3. To cooperate with other consumer -owned electric systems to finance and construct their own NEPool generating facilities. 4. There will be no interest payments to stockholders. We ask indefinite postponement of Article 60 at this time as we are studying the economic advantages of participating in the construction of various generating plants now being planned by investor owned utilities throughout New England. We would expect to come back to this body soon with a request for your approval of this Article together with requests for revenue bonding authority for participation in municipal and investor owned generating facilities if it is felt to be in the best interest of the Town of Reading. ARTICLE 2. The following report was read by,William H. Parker, III, for the Municipal Light Board, which was accepted as a report of progress: REPORT OF PROGRESS TO TOWN MEETING - ARTICLE 61 The last Special Town Meeting turned down our Department's request to take by eminent domain, a parcel of property described in this Arti- cle. The Light Board understood in the failure of this approval to take by eminent domain, that further negotiations should be had with the prop- erty owner in an attempt to reach a mutually agreed upon sales price for the property. Negotiations are underway at the present time between the Department and the property owner's attorneys. We have rec ived a firm offer to sell the property; no agreement has been reached as 't is felt that the owner's price is far in excess of the reasonablelvalue of the property and that precedents may be established that will necessitate higher floors for other property the Town may wish to purchase in the future. The energy crisis and resulting curtailment in energy use by the customers of the Light Department late in 1973 and continuing at present has caused a re- evaluation of the Department's schedule for the proposed purchase power substation at this site. It appears now that the project initially contemplated for operation in mid -1976, can now be delayed at least one year. Construction should begin by mid or late 1976 instead of late this year. If energy supplies and price$ relax of course, this schedule could again be accelerated. On motion of Edward P. Cameron it was voted to lay Article 2 on the table. ARTICLE 7.
