the region. 



For the preference customers of Bonneville, the issue comes down to 2.8()0 average megawa 

 of power ~ the DSI load which is now allocated to the companies under the existing contract 

 Some DSls, as you know, have older plants and may not be in busines."; 15 or 20 years from now. 

 Others certainly will want to stay and sign coniracu; with Bonneville. If Bonneville ignores iLs 

 rights under the contracts to all DSIs in 2001, Bonneville ties its own hands and commits itself 

 10 a course of action that may run counter lo the long-term interests of its other customers. 



I understand that Bonneville believes it has a clean slate from which to develop new contract 

 provisions. We concur. But Bonneville also has the discretion not to sign contracts with the 

 DSIs at all. 



Whatever fixed obligations are imposed on Bonneville by Section 1 2. signing long-term power 

 sales contracts with the DSIs is not one of them, as the language in the contract makes clear. 



We respectfully ask that you reconsider Bonne'.'ille's position regarding Section 12 and treat the 

 DSIs as a discretionan' load after 2001. 



Sincerely, 



CANBY UTILITY BOARD
