He has contacted the insurance underwriter and was told that the utility company must pay a $150,000 deductible. The utilities also is covered by insurance for parts and materials up to the current value of the turbine. However, insurance does not cover routine maintenance.

The exact cost of repair to the utilities will not be known until the unit is torn down. Hemberger said GE believes the problem is in a rotor. "If that's the only problem, the $181,000 will cover the repairs. But GE tells us that it is possible that the problems could be worse," he said. Once the turbine is torn apart, the insurance company may decide that repairs exceed the current value of the generator.

"I can't see the repairs exceeding $2 million," he said. "Usually, it's a lot less than the current value." Instead of repairing the turbine, the board has the option of advertising and selling it. However, Hemberger said selling it is not feasible. Hemberger's concern is that if the city utility services should be separated from PSI and the plant overloads, the plant would automatically shut down. Such a problem occurred during the summer of 1979 and the city did not have the capability of using the turbine to place the plant back into operation.

Since 1979, the city's electrical system has been renovated so that in case of a separation from PSI it has other options it can use to get the power needed to get it back into operation. One of those options is the peaking turbine. Instead of a 36-hour power outage it would be more like five minutes if the peaking turbine is operational, Hemberger said. If the board would decide to sell the turbine, Hemberger estimates the current value at from $750,000 to $1.25 million. The cost of a new turbine is $13 to $14 million.

"If we buy a new unit of the same capacity, $150,000 would seem like a drop in the bucket," he said. Hemberger said the unit saved the city $300,000 this summer alone. The utilities have been able to operate without the use of the turbine since Aug. 13 despite the hot weather. "It doesn't look like we have a whole lot of choice under the circumstances," board Chairman Tom Smith said.

"This is one of those instances why I defend the depreciation and replacement fund," board member Gary Scagnoli said. "This is precisely what the fund is all about." The depreciation and replacement fund is used for major repairs. It is set up to insure that the repairs can be made in case of major problems that exceed the routine maintenance costs of the electrical system. There currently is $3.7 million in the fund, but $450,000 of it is already earmarked for a renovation project. The board voted unanimously to approve the use of $181,000 from the depreciation and replacement fund for the examination of the turbine just in case the damage is not covered by the insurance.

hi other business, the board decided during a special meeting to award a contract for emergency repair, work at the Generating Plant. A leak was found on the reheater of a small boiler. The Kennedy Tank Co. won the contract with a proposal of $93,937. The company was the lowest bidder and'also included their own on-site supervision.

Hemberger told the board Tuesday mat he should receive the order within 10 days. MARKETS Livestock INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Hogs 300. Barrows and gilts 1.00 lower. US 1-2 230-250 Ibs 47.0048.00. US 2-3 230-250 Ibs 46.00-47.00.

The new building will not be made of limestone, but will look like it so that it will aesthetically blend in with the courthouse and First Christian and Presbyterian churches. The plans include space for 16 work-release beds for people guilty of a crime, such not paying child support, to work during the day and pay $15 per night to serve Out his sentence in jail. "This program will more than pay for itself," Mrak said. There will be a total of 84 beds, all which can be observed by one person in die central control rooms.

And, commissioners don't expect to dig any deeper into the public's wallets. "The plan is to build this with no increase in property taxes, using the money that's already coming in," Mrak said. This is the 25th county jail that Mrak has worked on. Local projects have included the facilities at Howard and Tippecanoe counties. He also has been involved in 16 prison projects.

With so many projects under his built, he has learned a few financial and time-saving shortcuts. One is that steel cell blocks are less expensive, and deliverable with everything already in place, like the toilet, light fixture and desk. "The faster we build this thing, the less overhead there will be," said Mrak. We want to simplify as much as we can, making things as easy as possible for the contractors. You are the beneficiaries of what we've learned." The new jail will bring the inmate capacity to 119, and many in attendance felt that was an awfully large occupancy.

But Mrak disagreed, explaining that judges have resorted to alternative sentences. He said judges have put felons on probation when they should have served time or released them on their own recognizance. "The judges are going to have it full in no time," he said. The DOC also is full and hurting for space. State officials call every week asking if Pulaski County can take any extra inmates, Sheriff Carl Freeman said.

"And they'll pay $35 a day to house each one," he added. But Becky Dilts, who lives on Monticello Street, wasn't interested in the money the new jail could generate. "This building is going to stick out. When we give directions, we're going to have to say, 'Well, you go down to the jail and turn I'm sorry, but I have a problem with that." Others in attendance also wondered why tHe'jail had central business area ofWinarriac. County councilman Sam Frain had an answer for them.

"If we continue to move things out of the downtown, we're not going to have a downtown." Former councilman Tom Shanks responded to concerns that Pulaski County was spending millions on a jail it couldn't fill. "In 20 years, it'll be paid for. If we can't increase the population in that amount of time, we deserve to be stuck with a jail this size." But the plans are not final, stressed Bill Shepler, project engineer for Project Management Services, Indianapolis. His plans are to work through the design until the end of the year. Then, in the spring of 1996, bid and begin the construction work.

He expects the inmates and sheriff's office to be moved in the spring of 1997, with completion of the project coming in the summer of 1997. "We want you to be involved," Shepler said. "Nothing's set in stone." Freeman said he is pleased with the designs. "They (the plans) serve what we need, and if we see something that still needs changed we've still got the option to do it."
