BPA Letter

Dear Mr. Wright,
The City of Ashland would like to formally go on record as supporting BPA's
Proposal that would result in new agreements between BPA and the Region's
Investor Owned Utilities. (IOU's). These agreements would result in immediate
rate relief to Ashland of about 6% in October 2004 and as such would be welcomed
by the City.
Because the proposal would also limit future benefits during 2007-2011 to
financial only in lieu of power and also set floor and ceiling on these benefits,
the proposal will be beneficial to Ashland beyond the next two years of the
rate period.
We appreciate BPA putting forth this proposal and would like to commend you
for stepping up and being proactive in a way that will help its utility customers
provide rate relief for our customers, while trying to balance all of the
conflicting needs and values of the citizens of the Northwest.
Sincerely,
Alan DeBoer
Mayor, City of Ashland
