Beaver City Council adopts amended UAMPS power-pooling agreement
Summary
Beaver City unanimously approved an amended and restated power pooling agreement with Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems to prepare for an extended day‑ahead purchasing model; city attorney reported no legal concerns and UAMPS said the change should have minimal direct impact on the city.
Les Williams, representing Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, presented an amended and restated power pooling agreement to the Beaver City Council on March 10 as UAMPS transitions to an extended day‑ahead power‑purchasing model. City Attorney Justin Wayment reviewed the agreement and provided a favorable legal opinion, telling the council the documents were in order.
Mayor Matt Robinson and members of the council were told by Les Williams that, although the agreement represents a significant change in how power scheduling is handled, UAMPS will continue to schedule on the city’s behalf and the change should have minimal direct operational impact for Beaver City. Williams also announced two upcoming UAMPS events: a municipal toolkit session on April 23 in St. George and a March 26 session concerning the Millard County Project.
Council Member Lance Cox moved to adopt Resolution R3102026(A) authorizing the amended and restated power pooling agreement; Council Member Tyler Schena seconded. The council held a roll call vote and the resolution carried unanimously.
The resolution authorizes Beaver City to participate under the updated pooling agreement; the council did not identify any additional fiscal impacts to the city during the presentation. The council approved the resolution at the meeting; staff did not present any ordinance changes or budget amendments tied to the agreement during the session.
The council’s action concludes local approval. Staff and legal counsel will retain the agreement and follow UAMPS’ implementation timeline as shared by the presenter.
