Work session: consultants brief Council on possible American Municipal Power membership
Summary
In a pre‑meeting work session, GDS Associates and Blue Ridge Power Agency presented options tied to potential City membership in American Municipal Power and electric supply portfolio opportunities; no formal Council action was taken.
During a 5:45 p.m. work session before the regular meeting, Garrett Cole, Vice‑President of GDS Associates, reviewed potential City membership in American Municipal Power, Inc. (AMP) and related electric supply portfolio opportunities. Justin Hey (GDS) and Alice Wolfe (Blue Ridge Power Agency) participated remotely and were available to answer Council questions. Council discussed the presentation and asked questions; no formal action followed from the work session.
Why it matters: potential membership in a joint action agency or market participation vehicle can affect the city’s future procurement options and risk profile; the work session provided an opportunity for Council to question consultants and staff before any formal agenda item.
