  Paul Davis from DGR engineering was present to discuss the possibility of the Sanborn Municipal Light Plant installing back up generators for the community. The discussion centered on location, sizing of the two generators, timing of construction, building versus self-contained units, permitting of the units, new generators versus the possibility of finding used units and finally going over cost estimates. The cost estimates based on new units range from 7 million dollars to 12 million dollars and would be operational within 18 to 24 months. One advantage to finding used units is they can be operational in 12 to 18 months. The board also went over payments that would be received from Missouri River Energy services on an annual basis.
