Utility answers questions on takeover
By LAURETTA SCHULTZ Staff Reporter
Missouri Public Service Co.'s takeover of Kansas Public Service Co. will not change the utility's relationship with Lawrence, two MPS officials told city commissioners yesterday.
At a study session in City Hall, John R. Baker, MPS senior vice president, and Richard Green, MPS executive vice president, answered commissioners' questions in an effort to make the transfer of the public utility's ownership a smooth operation.
The city has a franchise agreement with the local gas utility, and will have to approve the transfer of ownership.
Mayor Ernest Angino said he thought the session was a good
chance for all parties involved in the utility to get to know each other better.
"THEY WERE TRYING to see how we felt, test us, out," he said. "We were doing the same thing. It's obvious we will be working together, so we need to get to know each other better."
"It is important to get any uncertainties out on the table in the beginning," he said. "We want all of them to be known." He began stages of this transaction.
Green also said that the meeting was important to clear up questions between the city and his company.
The commissioners said they were pleased that MPS had not objected to a request by the commission that the company send a letter of agreement to them, that they would run KPS as a separate entity with separate records.
"WE KNOW THAT you now say KPS will be operated separately, I'm a little worried about what might happen down the line." Angino said. "My selfish concern is that we get some kind of agreement, written or otherwise, that will keep the record books of KPS separate from the rest of your company for rate-fixing purposes."
Green said his company would honor that request.
Nancy Shonitz, city commissioner,
said the letter of agreement about the records and a MPS agreement to abide by MPS's current customer policies that make her feel more comfortable about the sale of the utility.

BILL, SALOME, KPS president, who will retain his position, was also at the study session. He said the relationship between KPS and the
Raytown, Mo., company was a good one.
"Our relationship couldn't be better," he said. "The customers in Missouri are very comfortable with this company, and I think Lawrence residents will benefit from this in the end."

Still in question is the fate of KPS's relationship with the University of Kansas. A new owner may reopen negotiations between KU and KPS, but Green said after the session that he never need to look further into the matter.
"We haven't sat down to talk with the people at KU yet," he said. "We'd be happy to try and work something different." He is a significant part of this community.
KU NOW IS searching for another gas supplier and a way to transport the gas to the University in an effort to save money.

Carla Vogel, student body president, proposed a transportation system of white bicycles at checkpoints around campus where bike racks already existed. Students could ride the bicycle pick up to another checkpoint and leave it for the next person.
The board discussed the question of liability if a student were involved in an accident while attempting to answer a question as asked to find more information.

Transportation board discusses white bikes
The Student Senate Transportation Board last night encouraged white bicycles as an alternative mode of transportation on campus.
Mark Sump, secretary of the board, moved to encourage the idea because the board was responsible for transportation.
"Let The Good Times Roll"
The board went into executive session to discuss the possibility of selecting a new chairman. The present chairman, Rob Hunter, remains absent from some meetings, which prompted the discussion.

Vogel said that the promoters of the project were looking for money to purchase bicycles at an upcoming police auction. Several bicycles already have been donated by Templin Hall and other people.
