Resolution to Seek Lower Electric Rates in a Competitive Market
Whereas, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, by enacting Chapter 164 of the Acts of 1997, has established a competitive marketplace through deregulation and restructuring of the electric utility industry; and
Whereas, the citizens of the Town ofNorth BrookfieldinWorcesterCountyhave substantial economic, environmental, and social interests at stake; and
Whereas, North Brookfield‘s residential and business consumers are interested in reducing their electricity rates;
Be it therefore resolved, that the Town Meeting of North Brookfield grant the Board of Selectmen authority to develop and participate in a contract, or contracts, for power supply and other related services, independently, or in joint action with other municipalities through the Hampshire Council of Governments. If such contracts are to be approved, individual consumers would retain the option not to participate and to choose any alternative service they desire; and
Be it further resolved, that the Board of Selectmen will appoint a representative for a committee to oversee such joint action.
