Council Minutes of 12/3/96 who live here want to protect their hometown and make it an even better community. Mrs. Diver wondered how we are going to control the quality of our life and reminded everyone that we can't buy quality of life on a store shelf. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, earlier this year suggested that the city consider establishing its own power company. He would like to see this issue investigated as a Charter issue. Perhaps the Council could examine the Charter and begin to conceive of where such a public utility would fit in. He suggested realigning the section dealing with the sewage treatment plant by creating a department of utilities with a division of sewage and a division of power. He believes this concept is a good one and should be considered since there have been so many power outages--many of them coming during pleasant, sunny weather. Mayor Boyle said that the administration has done some very preliminary investigation into this subject, but is not even close to making a presentation. There are a lot of legal issues and costs that will have to be assessed before a decision can be made.
