Comments-
Jim Vine/Vine Communications brought up the subject of power loss last year. Ken asked everyone to email him details of any incidents that happened via email or reg mail. Discussion ensued about the need for all utilities to be underground. Ken agreed saying that in actuality this could be considered a public safety issue because of the type of customers that are serviced up on the moutains. Doug Dalby stated that 2 years ago there were some problems and UES helped. Maybe we should go to them for a discussion. Jack Trahan agrees that this issue needs to be worked on this last year a sever storm created sever problems for 3-4 days. Ken McLaughlin said he would take the documentation he receives and see if he can get a dialog started.
