Coppall CItizens Do Make A Illlerence! r---' "-'-. T"'-
The I&rge showing of GonGsmad cililerLs at the ~ City Council meeting Tuem:iay -
January 10, 1995 made 8 difference!! (THANKS to all who a~lended!!!)
TU Electric Power PoI~ upgrade for Slqdy Lake Road was reviewed, and options presented:
P emuffi and we~ of the city to the sub*~lion at Thweat
Rot~d and Coppall Road (_~Lj'mated oeet of $8 milon for new eet, ement - still paneling).

Because mwl. v citizens attendecl Tueedly's meeting and spoke about not wanting this power
ul~: -~ along Sandy Like Rold, ~ Council m'KI Mlyor Morton hive deckled to sullport the
diz~s' polition and take steps to IN4mJe a deerant rome. (Citizen involvement workiS!)
~ting easeme~ we c~n not force them to take ,, different route without
8Optoval from the PUC (Public UIII Commission) in Auellrt, Tmt4~. W~lt~out q3~novat from
IM PUC, we will be forced to live Wilh eel·on tkl - and we the citizens of CoppeN can not
~ford to heve this heppen~ (whether y~j live ctoee to Sm~ly Lake Ro~ or not!)
T!tl p~,e ---- ^. TU must gain ~Wovml from the PUC to tlke another mute. TU does not feel
procure to put=us this, so it is ulD to cur City leaders awKI the citizens to make thi~ hippen!
AN IIK RTANT POINT: The PUC hel very ~ gui~ltllr~s for alN3roving i route~ for
hele type of power poles - but tl~ ..... ru'-- dm rtm ---J_v to "l ql'/ldes' in ~
~ (lee guidelines attlche~. Why No{? TI~Ii is whet we need to bring to their
Wlmr~ti on in winning approval for a ellrecent route! If the sldeler ~nd~rde were to be used in
oonlieedng the power upgnlde on ~ Like Roed, tte up/rode could not qullfy
IM pewer ~ would be too ctoee to tqemee, churches, m~qoole, e4c. While heellh roeuse
here not been proven beyond a sl~:T~//of · doubt, thee'e is obviously concern on m PUC's
p~wt ~le of the guidelines thin they have devll~l:~l~l for new routes of thil upgetded
n~ture. We are simply asking thBt we Wley with the ~Tte met of rules.
