Council approves unit power purchase agreement; utility board had earlier backed project
Summary
The Fulton City Council adopted Bill 17-57, authorizing a unit power purchase agreement with the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission (referred to in the reading as the Missouri Electric Commission); the utility board had unanimously supported the shared power project prior to the council vote.
The Fulton City Council approved Bill 17-57, an ordinance authorizing the City of Fulton to enter into a unit power purchase agreement with the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission (referred to in the reading as the Missouri Electric Commission).
Councilwoman Nelson read the ordinance and moved its placement for final passage. She earlier told the council the Utility Board had unanimously supported the shared power project and said she was “really excited” about the project and proud of the Utility Board’s work. On final passage the council conducted a roll call; the clerk recorded seven council members affirmative and the ordinance was adopted.
The ordinance text as read authorizes the city to enter a unit power purchase agreement with the referenced commission; the council did not discuss specific contract terms, pricing, or the agreement’s duration in the meeting remarks recorded in the transcript.
Councilwoman Nelson emphasized the importance of maintaining the city’s local utility authority and called the shared power project a “huge step forward” after nearly two years of work. The transcript does not include detailed technical or financial terms of the power purchase agreement; those details will be part of the contractual documents executed under the ordinance.
