quieter tripod.

Discussion of Pacific Power's possible presentation. Pacific Power wants to 
better connect with neighborhoods. Topics might include energy efficiency. 
Jim Karlock commented that any presentation by Pacific power before the 
upcoming election to establish a PUD would be inherently political.

plan and changing the Fremont speed limit.
