City Council Meeting <br />February 11, 2002 <br />Page 2 <br />compete for the pricing of electric service to each of the cities, including the <br />City of Paris. Because of the size of the electrical load represented by the group <br />of cities, there was very intensive competition, but First Choice Power had the <br />lowest per kilowatt price that was offered to that aggregate of cities. City <br />Attorney Schenk said that, in joining with over seventy cities, the city could get <br />that kind of competitive pricing. The City is hoping that as a result of this <br />process, the City of Paris as an entity will have a lower cost for power which <br />could impact the taY rate and all of the other expenses. <br />Mayor Pfiester acknowledged the presence of Lisa McAllister in the council <br />chambers in support of Items 4-B (1) a and 4-B (1) b.
