Spinning Reserves Update Eugene Bjornstad stated that there was no change since the last meeting. B. Agreements Update Dennis McCrohan stated that they had circulated to the PMC two options for the two final agreements that need to be executed. They had fundamentally two different options relative to who the successor would be to the current operator. A November 22, 1995, letter was received from ML&P which raises issues that we are unsure as to whether the committee has addressed. It would be pertinent that the board not take any action until all of these issues are reviewed. Mr. Saxton recommends that the agreements be voted upon at the next PMC meeting as this will enable a walk through of the agreements. Mr. Saxton said that there is already an executed Dispatch Agreement and we are trying to conform it to the Master Operating Agreement. There are also the Transmission Facility Maintenance Agreements which were never done and are being proposed at this time. C.
