<br />system reliability, removes any NEPA "technical uncertainties" if Glen Canyon Dam is not integrated <br />with Lower Basin power plants. In addition, it silences the question of the "Will-Be" plan and its <br />potential for impeding CRSP to perform its statutory obligations under the CRSP Act, and eliminates <br />concerns over SLIP/CRSP and other CRSP participating projects subsidizing nonparticipating projects. <br /> <br />In addition, this proposal: <br /> <br />. Treats SLIP/CRSP as a single business unit for all but a few functions that the corporate service <br />center or other customer service regions can provide at reduced costs. This places emphasis on <br />conducting business in a cost effective manner. Work that is more cost effective to share with <br />other Western service regions has been shown in the alternate proposal as costs charged back to <br />VCR. <br /> <br />. Is designed to function more effectively than the organizational- structure as currently proposed by <br />"Will Be" for the SLCA. All CRSP functions in the Vpper Colorado River Basin will be directed <br />from the VCR office in Montrose. Existing SLCA staff will be reorganized using the "Will Be" <br />organization models to function more effectively with other Western Regions. <br /> <br />. Is designed to follow Western's future vision of "quality, customer focused service", "competitive <br />pricing", and "excellent business practices." <br /> <br />. Significantly reduces "Will-Be" soft landing concerns. <br /> <br />. Minimizes impacts associated with transfonning the organization, resulting in increased <br />productivity, safety, and efficiency. <br /> <br />. Provides for "good stewardship/citizenship" by mitigating community impacts to the city of <br />Montrose and its surrounding areas. <br /> <br />. Mitigates Governor Romer's concerns of reduced staffing levels at the Montrose Power Operation <br />Center and its impact on Colorado's rural economies. <br /> <br />. Follows guidelines given by Vice President Gore. This proposal reduces the number of <br />SLIP/CRSP Federal FTE by 25% and contract employees by 55%, provides for cost effective <br />customer service, and reduces O&M and overhead expenses by approximately 35%. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />01118. <br />
