the Housing Authority's efforts to obtain information from them

center. Mayor Hartsfield suggested that the Council determine a
pre-set date as to when they can be in their new facility and
allow them to remain in their present facility only until that
date. Ms . Sherry Manney, Trailways agent, stated that if the rent
was raised that the bus line would be forced to offer fragmented
service, and to move into a service station or a similar facility
where no overhead exists . Lyn Porterfield was directed by the
Council to check with the PSC to determine if the PSC legislates
facility standards and/or location to the bus company. This
matter was carried over until more information can be obtained. •

Rate Union Electric rate increase request pending before the PSC. He :;;
Case stated that the City's $10, 000 investment to intervene in the

per year for the next three years . The cost to intervene in this
case will be greater than the previous case, possibly a maximum •
of $60, 000. He suggested that other cities might be interested in
sharing the cost of intervening. Lyn Porterfield stated that the
intervention deadline has been set for April 6. Council was asked

presentation at the next meeting. Councilman Haake moved that the
City file a petition to intervene, based on cooperation from
other cities, Councilman Halsey offered •to amend the motion to
include citizens ' rates as well as the City rates in the

the motion, as amended, was seconded by Borgmeyer, and approved
by voice vote.
