Amherstmay tap electric refund plan to fund upgrades
Amherst Council heard a consultant urge repealing a 1985 ordinance to allow using a $2.3 million electric fund surplus for improvements rather than rebates. John Courtney proposed a five year upgrade plan and rate reviews, with 25 percent of annual revenue for emergencies. Don Woodings noted rates are among the lowest in the region, and a separate Finance Committee item set a 46 000 salary for the next mayor starting 2001 with a 4 percent annual raise.

Avon Council to vote on rezoning ballot ordinance
Avon City Council will decide on January 25 whether to pass an ordinance to allow residents to place rezoning issues on the ballot. The measure could enable a vote on zoning for the Avon Commons shopping center, though officials say they will not draft a rezoning support resolution. The current charter restricts ballot initiatives to residents, not the council, on zoning matters.
