PGE Transformer Billy Wasson said his discussion with PGE provides two options. The current design calls for an underground vault transformer in the right of way. PGE did not say we could not do it but there are restrictive conditions. The pay back is six years on a leased transfoRner from PGE. Maynard Hammer said he wants to make sure the transformer is up out of harms way if it is a flood zone. Du~ng the 1996 floods several state buildings were severely damaged because the transformer and power distribution equipment was in the basement ;.eonard Lodder noted that is part of the reasoning by PGE. In order to put it above the ground the location would be prime retail space.

Leonard Lodder noted, yes. David Cameron asked if Melvin Mark or the archited found any numbers that seemed too high? Craig Lewis said there were no surprises, the report and costs are straight forwarcf. David Cameron asked if changes need to be made based on the cost estin~ates.
