June 20, 2005 BE IT RESOLVED, j THAT the Monticello Chamber of Commerce, located in Monticello, Minnesota, does hereby take a position of support for the re-licensing of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The Nuclear Plant and its employees are of great importance to the City of Monticello, and to Minnesota as a whole. The plant employs niearly 500 pe-ople with-an annual payroll of over $50 million dollars, which is of course of great benefit to our community. But these employees are also a wonderful asset to the spirit of Monticello with their generosity, volunteerism and support of our local business and school district.

Both the employees and the Company have been extremely generous to the United Way and many additional local charities in our continuing quest for an active and vibrant community.

The Monticello Chamber of Commerce also is a strong supporter of nuclear energy as a power source for our State, thereby working to produce energy with no greenhouse gas effects. Nuclear is a clean, reliable source of energy for our state.

The Monticello Nuclear Plant employees live, shop and volunteer in our local community, and we, as a Chamber of Commerce, certainly want to keep them here.

We hereby offer our full support of the re-licensure of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant to allow it to continue operation through the year 2030.
