ECP

Our electric utility.
Rooting around in the City's websites I have noticed a few things.
Electric City Power has it's own site. But no real information is posted on it. I have yet to find one link that directs you to anything. The minutes of the meetings are up, but they are very bare bones, telling you what was discussed, but giving no actual information of any of the issues.

From a March 6th meeting "The Board reviewed the December 2005 Financials from SME." I would be interested in seeing these. There is no link, no other information at all. Where do I find them?

From the same meeting: "The Board briefly discussed a draft of a Development Agreement between the City and SME. Executive Director Balzarini explained the purpose of and need for such an agreement. She noted that City staff and the City's bond counsel would be discussing the Agreement with SME officials on March 13th."
O.K. March 13th, 2006. City staff and bond counsel were going to discuss a development agreement for a project that is supposed to start next spring, and which the City has just now (December) decided we need a new feasibility study for.


Public comments from residents are there, but there seems to be little reply to concerns raised.
"Stuart Lewin asked the Board questions about the City’s plans to supply electricity to residents of Great Falls and about its role in the proposed Highwood Generating Station." So, what did the board say? How did they respond to this very important question?

Perhaps I am nitpicking about little things. However a few answers would go along way.
