Dear Editor: Tisank yau for your letter of August 17. On behaif of tise Commission, we appreciate your concernis witis respect ta selling Milton Hydro and wanted ta update you on aur work with tise Town of Milton in tisis regard. Under the Energy Campetition Act (1998), a number of changes have been mandated for Milton Hydro. Tise utility (tise distribution business) must be incorporated under tise Ontario Business Corporations Act by November 7, 2000. At tise time the competitive market opens, wisich is likely ta be sametime in late 2000, customers will be able ta cisoose tise company ,from wisicis they buy their electrici- Ity. Milton Hydro will continue ta r deliver/distribute electricity. Tise Town of Milton, having been confirmed as the sole share- holder of Milton Hydro, must decide wisetiser ta retain and oper- ate Milton Hydro or seil tise utility. To assist in making tisis decision, tise Town establisised the Transition Steering Committee in January, 1999 *to consider the future direction of tise municipal electric utilîty in relation ta, tise requirements of Bill 35." Tise committee is comprised of Hydra Chair Sharon Barkley, Mayor Gord Krantz, Town/Regional Councillor Richard Malboeuf, Hydro Commissioner Bill Rawney, Town Cisief Administrative Officer Maria Belvedere, Hydro General Manager Don Tisorne, Town Treasurer Jim McQueen, and Hydro Finance and Admidnistration Officer Mary-Jo Corkum. Tise cammiàttee retained Deloitte and Touche ta assist them in respanding ta tise oppartunities and challenges of tise Energy Competition Act. To date, tise commJittee isas held a number of meetings ta review tise options. On lune 7, 1999, tise com- mittee made a preliminary presen.: tation ta town counicil ta outline tise business issues tisat it would have ta ultimately decide upon tise options available. The committee will present tiseir draft report ta counicil on September 20. Tbis repart wiII out- line tise analysis of tise available options and make recommenda- tions ta counicil. I encourage you ta attend tise meeting.
