Responding to Mr. Schoomer, Mr. Ollendorff said that he did not believe that this contract would become null and void if the state passes the deregulation legislation. This deals primarily with the City's purchase of electricity. This is separate from the franchise ordinance that covers their right to sell electricity in University City and to use the Rights of Ways. The franchise agreement would be more affected by the state laws, than this onE, but he was not positive. Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Ollendorff said that this would only entitle us to get electricity from AmerenUE at the point that are city street light system is plugged in. The city is still responsible for the maintenance of the light systems that the city owns. Most street lights are owned by UE, and this contract covers them. This does not cover the street lights the city owns, other than bringing the electricity to our system.
