Soda Springs selects Option A to remain under current BPA power arrangement
Summary
The council authorized staff to select Option A in the Bonneville Power Administration contract renewal — essentially continuing the current tiered, fixed arrangement through 2044 — and directed the mayor or appropriate official to sign the paperwork.
Council voted to select Option A in the Bonneville Power Administration contract renewal process, a choice staff and council described as "continuing where we're at" with the current tier‑one fixed pricing model through 2044.
Council President Hart explained the options and the recommendation: "Option A is basically we keep the way things are now…" Staff emphasized that Option A carries minimal risk for Soda Springs given current usage levels and that other options would require locking into larger fixed amounts or exposing the city to open‑market volatility. After a motion and second, the council voted in favor and authorized the mayor (or authorized official) to sign the appropriate documents selecting Option A.
