The Union City divorce from the Michigan South Central Power Agency is closer, but it won’t meet the June 30 tentative deadline.
Attorney Steve Mann told the board of the current five-member joint power agency it will take 90 to 120 days to draft agreements and get approval from the municipalities of Clinton, Coldwater, Hillsdale, Marshall, and Union City once final details are worked out.
Both Union City and Marshall paid $36,000 to Chicago consultants MCR to evaluate Union City’s 4.68 megawatt interest in 110 megawatts of transmission the power agency acquired over the decades.
Thursday, board members agreed the agency should own the rights, not just Marshall. The problem is Clinton, second smallest member, who would pay almost $2,000 a year for the rights. The other remaining members would see an economic advantage of between $17,000 and $28,000 a year.
