Board approves postcard mailer on Westchester Power rates; staff to finalize copy
Summary
The board agreed to send a postcard informing residents about Westchester Power rates and the opt-out option, asking staff to circulate a short template for review and to confirm the months covered and the deadline for opting out.
The Town Board agreed to move forward on a postcard mailing to residents to explain Westchester Power rates and the opt-out procedure.
Board members said the mailer should be simple and standardized. A commissioner noted the difference in recent months: “By 1¢ per kilowatt hour,” and the group agreed the postcard should plainly list the period it covers, the current rates and the opt-out instructions so residents can make an informed decision.
Members discussed prior mailings: a longer letter had previously been used but the board preferred a short postcard template that updates only the dates and rates. Staff and commissioners agreed Amanda should review the draft and that whoever drafts the postcard should also send the previous letter and the most recent draft to staff for quick review.
The board asked staff to send the proposed postcard to the commissioners promptly so it can be mailed within the next few weeks; the mailing should cover the most recent three-month period when comparing Con Edison with Westchester Power.
