Votes at a glance: Hurricane power board minutes, connection fees and analog-meter opt-out
Summary
The power board approved minutes, recommended a connection-fee schedule update to council, approved an analog-meter reading fee increase, and recommended council allow an AMI opt-out program.
At its meeting, the Hurricane City Power Department Board took several procedural and policy actions.
- Minutes: The board approved the minutes from its prior meeting by voice vote after a motion by a board member and a second; no roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript.
- Connection fee schedule: The board recommended approval of an updated power connection fee schedule (including changes tied to AMI meter costs and annual material/labor updates) and voted to forward the schedule to the city council for final action. The motion passed on a voice vote.
- Analog (opt-out) meter fee: The board approved a motion to update the analog-meter (opt-out) monthly charge from $30 to $63.50 to cover journeyman labor, vehicle and equipment costs for manual reads. Motion carried by voice vote.
- AMI opt-out: The board voted to recommend the city council allow an AMI opt-out program (the board’s action was a recommendation to council). The board discussed safeguards such as requiring medical documentation for opt-outs and excluding accounts with tamper histories from eligibility.
Votes were recorded as voice approvals in the meeting transcript; no roll-call tallies or individual member votes were provided in the audio transcript.
