City Staff and the City Attorney have reviewed the proposed contract amendments and find no material or legal issue with moving our subscriptions to different CSGs. One change that became apparent with the contract amendment discussion was that one of the CSGs that the City subscribed to,the Kellogg CSG, will no longer be created. This means that the City will not be able to subscribe for as many kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity as initially approved by the Council. Staff now anticipates being able to subscribe to 1, 560 185, kWhs compared to the initial plan of 2, 138 063, kWhs in year one. Staff is working out the details regarding which electrical meters from the original Kellogg CSG will be included in the amended contracts. The type of electrical meter impacts the price of the solar reimbursement, and staff is working to ensure the more economically advantageous meters are included in the contracts. For reference, an Xcel Energy explanation of the different CSG rates is included. The CSG developer would like a motion by Council stating the City will execute the contract amendments once the particular meters are allocated. Despite the complications, staff still concludes subscribing to these CSGs are in the best interest of the City.  O O O O CIli O s >, U  L a) c a) r ol rn a) O L ( 0 0 dl N O L O U Tp a) U- C LM N C O C a) c C 4FU 1 a) O 0 C rn E` O E 0 0 0 Q.
