HEcc gg Ssuun SACRAMENTO MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT O P. O. Box 15830, Sacramento h[95 AN ELECTRIC SYSTEM SERVING T 2-1830,(916) 452-3211 CALIFORNIA R1/ARfr REG l0;;y May 1, 1987 Mr. John B. Martin Regional Administrator Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region V 1450 Maria Lane, Suite 210 Halnut Creek, CA 94596

Dear Mr. Martin:

As you may recall, in November of 1986 I communicated with you regarding the initiative drive that had commenced in the Sacramento area to shut down the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station.

On Monday, April 27, approximately 50,000 signatures were delivered to the Secretary of the District's Board of Directors. For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the initiative petition and its proof of publication.

In order for this initiative campaign to be successful, the petitioners are required to have obtained 25,200 valid signatures. These signatures must be verified within ten days by the Secretary to the District's Board of Directors. If these signatures are proved valid, the District's Board of Directors has three options available to it:

1) Adopt the petition;

2) Call for a special election by the voters in the District; or

3) Combine the initiative with the next general election, which is November, 1988.

Since I believe the electorate will now be addressing this issue, I am recommending to the Board that this initiative be combined with the general election.

If you have questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely, t.'LL{b kW l William K. Latham Acting General Manager 8706010166 870501 PDR ADOCK 05000312 P PDR l DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS O 62o1 S Street, Sacramento CA 95817-1899 l[)l f . ~
