MINUTE BOOK NO. 13,CITY OF OXFORDRECESS REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 6, 1949Pursuant to a recess order entered on December 6, 1949, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen met on December 14,1949, at the City Hall, when and where the following were present:'R. X. Williams, Mayor, presidingBen Jack Hilbun, Alderman, Ward 1W. T. Chandler, Alderman Ward 2H. S. Sisk, Alderman Ward 3T. E. Combs, Alderman WardA. H. Avent, Alderman at Large* * *C. P. Fulmer, Deputy ClerkC. E. Harrison, Supt. Light & Water Dept.E. P. Lowe, City EngineerW. N. Ethridge (for T. E. Ethridge), City AttorneyC. D. Malone, City Marshal* * *After the meeting had been opened according to law, the following business was transacted:Messrs. Baughman, New and Watson of the Tennessee Valley Authority appeared before the Board and presentedthe following proposal for furnishing electricity to the City of Oxford:PROPOSAL FOR OXFORD. MISSISSIPPI1. The estimates of the Burns and McDonnell Engineering Company will be used for comparativepurposes in determining the effect of a TVA power contract.2. TVA's obligations for service to its existing loads make it impossible to contract for afirm power supply to the City prior to March 1, 1952. In the interim TVA will do its bestto supply the City's requirements over and above the capability of the generating facilitiesof the City. After December 1950, TVA will have transmission and substation capacity installedsufficient to carry the City's entire load and the limitations of TVA's powersources will be the only problem.3. If the City so desires, TVA will enter into a power ccmtract at this time which will includeall of the standard provisions, and in addition, cover the following points:a. Power will be delivered to the City at 13,000 volts at our existing Oxford Substationon January 1, 1951, which shall be considered the date of initial delivery. The standardTVA wholesale and resale rates will not be effective until March 1952, and from January 1,1951, to March 1952, the City will apply its existing resale rates.b. From January 1, 1951, to March 1, 1952, TVA will supply power at 7i-mdlls for as muchof the time and in as large amounts as physically and economically feasible for TVA and inany case in amounts sufficient to prevent curtailment of service to Oxford's customers(taking into account the capacity of the Oxford generating plant) except as service toTVA's own prior commitments would be jeopardized.c. From the date on which the City is ready to take power at 13 kv at TVA's Oxford substationuntil January 1, 1951, TVA will endeavor to supply the emergency requirements ofthe City over and above the capabilities of its generating facilities on the basis of 20cents per week per kw of any demand on TVA plus 120% of the cost of the energy to TVA,such cost to include any starting—up and shutting—down expenses at steam plants operatedto supply the City's requirements.d.
