1. Call Meeting to Order — J. Norton, Chairman
Chairman Norton called the meeting of the Citizens' Advisory Board to order at 7:11 p.m.
2. Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14) Capital Budget — K. Sullivan
Mr. Sullivan gave a brief overview of the proposed FY2014 Capital Budget which is at $5.9 million,
approximately 7% below the FY2013 Capital Budget of $6.4 million. Mr. Sullivan introduced four
managers who are not very familiar to the Board; Mr. Mark Uvanni, MIS Manager; Mr. Peter Price,
Chief Engineer; Mr. Tom O'Connor, General Line Foreman; and Mr. Nick D'Alleva, Technical
Services Station Manager. These managers presented much of what is included in the Capital Budget.
Ms. Fod noted that the Board of Commissioners meeting had not been called to order.
Mr. Van Magness pointed out that at the earlier meeting there vas not an opportunity for public
comment and asked if there would be an opportunity for public comment at this meeting.
Chairman Stempeck called the meeting of the RMLD Board of Commissioners to order at 7:14 pm.
Chairman Norton stated, by way of explanation, that the CAB will conduct its second half of the budget
review (the Capital Budget) tonight. At the conclusion of that review, there will be a motion made to be
passed onto the Light Board of Commissions for the bottom line, if that is agreed upon by the CAB. At
that point, the CAB will conclude their portion of the meeting of which there will be no public input. It
will be turned back over the Board of Light Commissions for their Agenda. Chairman Norton asked
Mr. Sullivan to begin.
Mr. Talbot asked why we would not have public input. Chairman Norton stated that not during budget
discussions, we do not have public input. Mr. Van Magness noted that his comment was not relevant to
the CAB it was relative to the Municipal Light Board. He stated that he had served on the CAB and
RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Regular Session Minutes: April 10, 2013 Page 1 of 8
doesn't ever recall having a public meeting where public comment was specifically excluded, if there was
any. He further stated that it certainly takes away the reason for having a public meeting, but that is
obviously at the will of the Chair. Chairman Norton asked Mr. Sullivan to begin the presentation. Mr.
Sullivan introduced Mr. Mark Uvanni to present Project 27 (Hardware Upgrades) and Project 28
( Software Upgrades).
Mr. Uvanni reported that the MIS areas are pretty standard each year to accommodate necessary
upgrades to hardware and software systems. Beginning with Project 27, Item 27a) is about the same
amount each year and includes, but is not limited to upgrades and /or replacements for monitors,
printers, etc. Item 27b) creates an additional virtualized cluster at the North Reading substation for
redundancy, load balancing and disaster recovery. This will literally be a duplicate of the Ash Street
cluster, which has worked well. Item 27c) is to replace the current digital phone system.
Mr. Talbot asked about the security protections in place. Mr. Uvanni provided a brief overview of the
security measures in place.
Mr. Talbot asked about the procurement process. Mr. Sullivan responded that we go out to bid for
purchases $25,000 - $100,000 as per M.G.L. Chapter 30B.
Mr. Uvanni moved onto Project 28: Software and Licensing. Some of these items are directly related to
the hardware projects. Item 28a) is for routine software purchases and user licenses. 28b) is in
conjunction with item B on the hardware side. 28c) is for development work that the cannot do and
which is contracted out to local developers. Item 28d) is a product that allows the cluster replication to
take place. 28e) is the licensing fee for some antivirus and mahvare.
Chairman Norton asked if there were any questions.
Mr. Capobianco asked if we were going to deploy Windows 8 workstations. Mr. Uvanni replied that we
have done some. However, it is a huge learning curve for users.
IVLr. Soli asked if Item 28d) was new. Mr. Uvanni answered that this is the license for the new (second)
cluster.
Mr. Soli asked about 28c). He had thought GIS was done. Mr. Uvanni stated that it is an ongoing
process. We are trying to build the base map which would be the jumping off point for all other
systems. We do have a GIS administrator who has made huge inroads on getting the base map and the
electrical connectivity model built. Mr. Uvanni noted that this is a lot of work, but that we are going in
the right direct.
Mr. Sullivan introduced Mr. Peter Price and Mr. Tom O'Connor to present System Upgrade Projects.
Mr. Price reviewed Project 1: 5W9 Reconductoring- Wildwood Street, Wilmington. This circuit has seen
a lot of load growth and approximately a megawatt of additional load is anticipated over the next fiscal
year with the addition of a Target and a mini -mall in that area. Mr. Hooper asked if this will double the
current carrying capability into that area. Mr. Price answered, yes, on that circuit. Mr. Hooper noted
that this is one of Wilmington's industrial areas and feels this upgrade makes perfect sense considering
the growth in that area. Chairman Stempeck asked if it should be even higher than what we are
projecting; will we need to go back there because of the growth? Mr. Price responded that we can only
max out the circuits to 15 megawatts and this will bring that circuit up to 15 megawatts. If there are
additional needs, we will need to bring in another circuit. We do have two other circuits up there, so
there are things that we can do if we have to add a circuit.
Mr. Talbot noted that he had forwarded a memo (referencing tivs project). Mr. Talbot questioned if
there is a strategy, when we know we are at a limit with a particular circuit, for how demand response in
that particular area could be deployed to relieve what's happening. Mr. Talbot commented that when he
RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Regular Session Minutes: April 10, 2013 Page 2 of 8
raised the issue, he was not aware that there was a Target and mini -mall going into that area, which
changes the thinking. However, as a philosophy, has that ever happened; we see something cresting or
peaking, and consider demand response or other programs in that particular area. Mr. Sullivan noted
that it is not something that we have considered, but it may bode consideration in the future.
Mr. O'Connor presented Project 2: 4W4 Reconductoring — Wilmington. This feeder is approximately
40 years old. The upgrade will double the capacity that is there now and the materials will be more
storm hardened and resistant to weather. It also gives us options if we need to move load in the
summer. Mx. Hooper noted this is also a commercial area, and asked if this is proactive in terms of the
aging areas. Mr. O'Connor confirmed, this is near the end of its life and the upgrade gives us a lot more
options if we need to switch load. Every year at this time eve look for vulnerability, develop our priority
list, and address those areas.
Mr. Soli asked what happens to the old wire. Mr. O'Connor replied that it goes to a scrap dealer for
recycling.
Mr. Price presented Project 3: Upgrading of Old Lynnfield Center URDs. This is a carryover for the
Trog Hawley area. There is always a carryover in these projects; we start work in May and the work runs
through the summer into September (the next fiscal year). Mr. Price went onto Project 4: Upgrading of
Old Lynnfield Center URDs (Cook's Farm). This is the last of the three Lynnfield Center URD upgrade
projects.
Mr. Price presented Project 5: 4W5 — 4W6 Tie. This project will create a tie to allow more flexibility to
move load around in this area. We don't have that capability now which was not required until they
started developing the Addison Wesley Property.
Mr. Price presented Item 6: URD Upgrades. In talking with Mr. Sullivan, eve decided to create capital
projects as a catch -all for URD projects (and Step -down Area Upgrades) rather than having them done
under routine construction. This project will address some of the older underground subdivisions
which need to be upgraded due to bad transformers, cable failure, or voltage complaints.
Mr. O'Connor presented Item 7: Step -down Area Upgrades. This is similar to the URD upgrades
presented by Mr. Price. These are older overhead subdivisions. Some examples include Haverhill Street
(Anthony and Peter Roads) area; in Lynnfield, the Essex Street area near Evans Drive; in Reading, the
West and South Street areas.
Chairman Stempeck inquired, if by getting rid of the step -down transformers, do we eliminate a point of
failure. Mr. Price confirmed; if we lose a step -down area, eve could lose power to 300 -400 customers.
Mr. Price reported that items 8, 9 and 10 will be presented by Mr. D'Alleva.
Mr. O'Connor presented Project 11: Station 4 Getaway Replacement 4W9. This is an underground
getaway which runs out of Station 4. We will replace this underground cable which will increase
capacity.
Mr. Soli asked if there is an outage associated with this work. Mr. O'Connor stated no, we switch the
circuit to another circuit and then do the work.
Mr. Price presented Project 15: Station 5 — Getaway Replacements 5W9 and 5W10. The getaway is the
underground cable coming out of the sub - station. The 5W9 upgrade goes hand - and -hand with Project 1
to get to a 15 megawatt rating. 5W10 is an old direct buried underground circuit; that breaker position is
open and that cable has been taken out of service. This project will allow us to create an extra spare
breaker position in the 5W10 position and create more flexibility. We already have conduit and a
breaker; it is just a matter of pulling in the wire.
RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Regular Session Minutes- April 10, 2013 Page 3 of 8
Mr. Price presented Project 16: Transformers. This item is budgeted annually to replenish transformer
stock.
Chairman Stempeck questioned what the typical life is for a transformer; are there any manufacturers
that produce a premium quality transformer that will last longer that you pay a little bit more for, but
you get extra life out of them. Mr. Price replied that the have had old transformers that last forever; the
only thing wrong with them is that they are rusting. There are nety ones and they have lightning strikes
that wipe them out.
Mr. Soli noted that three years ago, between Katrina and China, transformer prices skyrocketed; are the
prices more reasonable now or are they still high. Mr. Price responded that due to metal (copper) costs
and the cost of petroleum, prices are still high, but not as bad as it was then.
Mr. Price presented Project 22: Engineering Analysis Software and Data Conversion, which was
approved with the FY13 budget. We got a late start on this project. The vendor is currently working on
the data conversion, but this project will carry over into FY14.
Project 26: Communication Equipment. Mr. Price reported that as the connect to our fiber loop for
better communications between our devices in the field and our SCADA systems, the will need certain
equipment. This is a line item for that purpose.
Chairman Stempeck asked are there any limitations on the fiber optic cable in terms of capacity. Mr.
Price answered that the have not run into it with the projects that the have been working on.
Mr. Talbot noted there is a lot of talk about regionalization of procurement; is that done by RMLD. Mr.
Sullivan stated that it has been discussed, but in situations like this it would not work. We realize there
are synergies out there that would make it more efficient to get together with other municipalities to
make purchase in volume.
Mr. Sullivan introduced Mr. Nick D'Alleva, Technical Services Manager.
Mr. D'Alleva reviewed Project 30: Remote Terminal Unit Replacement — Station 3. Mr. D'Alleva noted
that the recently had some issues with the SCADA system and the could not get the system back up and
running until the found the missing piece of the puzzle that was broken. We realized that it would not
work with the existing system.
Chairman Stempeck asked if there are more of these out at the stations that we should get rid of. Mr.
D'Alleva responded that Station 4 has just been upgraded. Station 5 is in this year's (FY13) budget and
the anticipate having it done. Station 5 is a lot smaller and not as involved as Station 3 or 4. This
(Station 3) would be the Last.
Mr. Sullivan presented Project 12: Service Installations — Commercial/ Industrial. Last year's budgeted
amount was $63,074. We have not seen many upgraded or new services within FY13 due to the
economic situation. However, the do need to budget this item in expectation of projects that will come
up.
Mr. Sullivan continued with Project 13: Service Installations Residential Customers. Last year's budget
was $207,923. This item has been affected by the economy year of over year. As of the beginning of
March, we are at about $160,000 - $170,000 in expenditures.
Mr. Sullivan presented Project 14: Routine Construction. This is the project where the carved out our
underground and step -down areas (as reported earlier) to have more specificity. Routine Construction
had become a catch -all and many times we end up eclipsing what the have in the budget. We hope that
the tact that we have taken will yield the way it should. Last year's budgeted amount for this item was
just under a $1 million.
RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Regular Session Minutes: April 10, 2013 Page 4 of 8
Moving back to Project 8: Relay Replacement Project — Gaw Station, Mr. D'Alleva reported that this is
a partial carryover. We have purchased all the relays, and the carryover is for labor related to the
installation, testing and commissioning of the relays on approximately 16 circuits. There may be some
incidental material in addition to what has been purchased.
Chairman Stempeck stated that he understands that these are solid state relays replacing electro-
mechanical and questioned the reliability of solid state versus electro- mechanical. Mr. D'Alleva stated
that they are newer technology. If you are going to replace one for one you are replacing a 30 -year old
relay with a 30 -year old relay. The new relays are in a box, rather than individual relays. They are
programmable with a lot more features that you can program into them and a lot more information that
you can get out.
Mr. D'Alleva continued with Project 9: Gaw Station 34kv Potential Transformer Replacement. The
current transformers are 30 plus years old and are oil filled. The new transformers would be solid
dielectric; there would not be any oil in them. There are currently no leaks on these transformers, but
they are old.
Mr. Hooper asked if the transformers contain PCBs. Mr. D'Alleva responded that it is unknown; there
is no way of sampling them while they are in service. They contain very little oil, maybe two gallons at
most. When they are taken down they will be tested prior to disposal.
Project 10: Station 3 — Replacement of Service Cutouts. This is a small equipment upgrade. We have
not had any problems with these cutouts, but they are similar construction to the line cutouts that we
have issues with in the field. We would like to be pro -active with these.
Mr. D'Alleva continued to Project 17 (A, C and D) related to the meter upgrade project. Note: 17B will
be completed by the end of FP3. 17A is a line item for meters purchased for stock. Mr. Talbot asked how
many TOU meters are currently in use. 1\/Ir. Sullivan answered that there are approximately 300
residential meters in place.
Mr. D'Alleva stated that 17C is a partial carryover. We anticipate that the commercial upgrade will not
be completed by the end of this fiscal year. We will carry over some of the installations to larger
customers that might need outages. 17D is the upgrade of the "500 Club." This is a small number of
meters, but they are the large revenue customers. This will be the last of the meter upgrades.
Mr. Soli asked Mr. Sullivan for an explanation of the "500 Club." Mr. Sullivan stated the "500 Club"
consists of customers over 500K''kX1, or the larger users of power. There are currently approximately 65
"500 Club" customers.
Mr. Sullivan introduced Mr. David Polson, Facilities Manager. Mr. Polson presented Project 18:
Purchase of New Pick -up Trucks. Chairman Stempeck asked if the 4x4 was all-wheel drive. Mr. Polson
replied that the vehicles are two -wheel drive with four -wheel over -drive.
Mr. Talbot asked how the vehicles are purchased; is there a State program. Mr. Polson reported we look
at the State contract and we go out to competitive bid as well to get the best pricing. Mr. Talbot asked
for clarification on the State contract. Mr. Polson replied that the State has a number of dealers with
whom they feel they have leveraged the best price; they do recommend though that you look around to
confirm that you are getting the best price.
Project 19: Line Department Vehicles. Mr. Polson noted that this item is similar to a carry -over. The
process to order and receive these vehicles is in excess of 240 days. We will be presenting to the Board
at the end of the month the purchase of these two vehicles, which will be received in FY14. This
project ensures that we have funds appropriated for the vehicles when they arrive.
RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Regular Session Minutes: April 10, 2013 Page 5 of 8
Mr. Talbot noted that it is his understanding that much of the time the diesel engine is running to power
the bucket truck equipment. He questioned if we have looked into hybrid bucket trucks. Mr. Poison
stated that we have done a very exhaustive search, meeting with different vendors and users of the
hybrid vehicles. There are different types of vehicles; some that are higher maintenance, some that are
truly hybrid (they recharge the battery system through the engine.) The technology for these vehicles
really isn't fully developed; the batteries don't live up to the advertised life and there are issues with the
transmissions. These vehicles are more expensive and they really don't live up to expectations.
Mr. Hooper asked about the age of the trucks being replaced, and what we are doing with the velcles
we are replacing. Mr. Poison answered that the vehicles being replaced are approximately 10 years old.
These vehicles will move back into the fleet as a spare or used less frequently. If these vehicles are the
vehicles with the highest maintenance and are unreliable, we may move them off the fleet and surplus
them. Mr. Hooper asked if they had any value that could be used for a trade -in or put out to auction for
another community that may be looking for something. Mr. Poison noted that we have not traded
vehicles, but the have tried to sell them; depending on the vehicle, we may offer them to one of the
towns.
Mr. Poison reviewed Project 20: Build Covered Storage, which is a multi -year project. The building
would be 80x120 feet and used for storage as we start to move out of the Barbas building. It would be
located on the northerly portion of the lot by the garage and would provide approximately 9,600 square
feet of storage space. It would be covered storage with sides, to keep our material out of the weather.
Mr. Poison reported that this would cost approximately $88.50 per square foot to build.
Chairman Stempeck asked if we have looked at alternatives; for inventory storage, this seems like a large
number on a square footage basis. Chairman Stempeck noted that if it is for specialized needs and
proximity he certainly understands, but stated that he had looked at storage space not nearly as large, but
in the $14-20 per square foot range. Mr. Poison responded that we would keep the materials that we
use frequently in thus building; we want to make sure we have something on the property so that the
trucks can go in and out. Mr. Poison noted that the cost comparison was lease space versus cost to
build. Chairman Stempeck noted that amortized over time, it would drop down. Mr. Poison confirmed
and added that we would be getting out of leased space.
Mr. Capobianco asked how much equipment is currently lost or degraded because we don't have
appropriate storage. INIr. Poison reported that almost everything is under cover either in the garage or
the leased space with the exception of some items at Station 3.
Mr. Soli noted that this is the first he has heard of this; when does this go out to bid so that we can hear
more about it. Mr. Sullivan responded that this is really an open building with a fagade in the front to
match the front of the buildings on Ash Street. It has a roofing system that has a beefed up capacity to
carry a solar array in the future. We are also trying to make a move to get out of the leased space and
the rent we pay. The design on this is planned for Q4. Mr. Soli asked if the Board would get more
information on this prior to bid. Mr. Sullivan said, yes. This is a multi -year project. The expectation is
that we would move out of the Barbas building FY16 Quly 1, 2015).
N1r. Poison reviewed Project 21: HVAC system Upgrade (Multi -year Project). Mr. Poison noted that
there was concern raised about the replacement of these items. This project is tied into making the
building more energy efficient. There are some changes in technology and some things that we can do
to improve efficiency. An energy audit will be done by Energy NE (there was one done in 2007). The
building's control system needs to be updated and replaced; lighting changes, water conservation,
insulation, and other work also needs to be done.
Mr. Talbot thanked Mr. Poison for the detail and noted that there are three big projects happening on
the campus: a garage (with excavation), station one, and the main building. Mr. Talbot wondered if
there vas a comprehensive overview of how to have the whole campus tied in; since kve are doing
excavation any way, can we look at a ground source system that would tie all three together. Mr. Talbot
RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Regular Session Minutes: April 10, 2013 Page 6 of 8
noted that it seems like there is an opportunity to do it once, do it deeply, and do it so that we save huge
amounts of energy for many decades. Mr. Polson agreed; the plan is to hire an engineering company to
come up with a design and make recommendations on what we should do; we can certainly bring that
into the design and evaluation. Mr. Polson noted, however, that the should not delay the mechanical
system work on these two items in this building. Mr. Polson stated that he has been trying, since
beginning at R MD eight months ago, to get a grasp on all the systems that need improvement and to
address energy efficiencies, but the systems are at risk right note. The plan would be to hire a company,
come up with design recommendations, and come back to the Board with a plan.
Mr. Talbot stated that that would be great; that by approving this budget we are not setting in motion a
plan to put just boilers and chillers out to bid and that gets done in the absence of a larger plan that we
have all reviewed. There is a huge opportunity for great public relations for RMLD and to set an
example to other companies and building.
Mr. Sullivan noted that we are cognizant that tlis really needs a comprehensive analysis and that Mr.
Polson is going to head that up. Mr. Polson noted his goal would be that over a three year period
everything in the building would be addressed, HVAC, lighting, water conservation. We will have a
building and a campus that we can be very proud of.
Mr. Talbot stated that this would not go out to bid until we have a larger report and a presentation to
the Board. Mr. Polson confirmed.
Mr. Hooper asked what type of fuel is used for the boilers. Mr. Polson replied, gas. Mr. Hooper noted
that condensing boilers might be an option to consider. Geo- thermo would be a great option, but
where there is an urgency, condensing boilers may be something we want to consider.
Mr. Polson presented Project 23: New Radio System. Mr. Polson noted that the current system is about
20 years old and uses old technology. We are currently evaluating a digital system that we have had
good luck with so far. We are looking at leasing a radio system; we would buy the equipment the first
year and after that it would be substantially less (we would pay just a leasing fee thereafter).
Mr. Talbot asked if this goes out to bid. Mr. Polson responded that this company is on the State
bidder's list, and that there are limited vendors that provide this service. We would be able to leverage
the State pricing.
Chairman Stempeck asked if the system communicates with fire and police. Mr. Polson was not aware
of that capability; it depends if the are tied to the same network. Mr. Hooper asked if the utilize cell
phones or direct connect. Mr. Polson said that the do use Sprint with direct connect. This new radio
system has multiple channels were people can talk in group talk and there are individual frequencies, or
they can use direct connect; the system offers a lot of flexibility. Mr. Hooper noted that he uses direct
connect to communicate with staff and just wondered if this is something that is needed or is it going to
be outdated over time.
Mr. Polson presented Project 24: Repairs — 226 Ash Street, Station One. There has been an architectural
evaluation performed and they recommend that, in order to maintain the building from further
deterioration, the should repair the roof as well as the exterior masonry, and windows. We can then
determine the best use of the building and the cost associated with that. This budget item is a multiyear
project to start the exterior work. In FY14 the would start the masonry work and in FY15 the would do
some windows and the roof. Over a period of two years, we are looking at $1.5 million for the exterior
work, with additional cost for the interior work.
Mr. Polson clarified the cost structure; the exterior renovation would be $1.5; the (additional) interior
renovation cost would be $1.1 million if the building were used for storage, or $2 million if the building
,vas used for occupied space.
RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Regular Session Minutes; April 10, 2013 Page 7 of 8
Mr. Talbot asked about the process to determine the use of the building. Discussion ensued. Chairman
Norton stated, with all due respect, this discussion would be more appropriate for an RMLD Board
meeting. Mr. Talbot agreed. Mr. Soli noted that he would be anxious to hear from the CAB members
on this issue because it may look too much like we are doing wonderful things for Reading and we're
going to make you outside guys pay for it.
Mr. Hooper stated that he thinks preservation of the building exterior before it deteriorates beyond
repair is a smart move as it can deteriorate pretty fast. Mr. Hooper questioned the bidding process used
for anything over $100,000; do we go d -cam certification. Mr. Polson replied that we do. Mr. Hooper
further stated that if you are using the building for storage that's one thing, but if we are planning to
lease it out as office space that is something totally different. Mr. Hooper stated that he can understand
the need for storage
Mr. Nelson stated the preservation of old buildings is a great thing and if the Town of Reading wants to
preserve the building that is something they should really consider. What you do with the building; if it
is going to be used for storage space or public presentations and public learning remains to be seen.
The focus is, do the right thing for Reading because it is in Reading and it is a possibility that it is good
overall.
Mr. Capobianco questioned the cost of removing the building and putting up a new structure; is that
significantly more expensive than renovating an older building. Mr. Polson did not have that
information. He did not know if that had been evaluated.
Chairman Norton noted that Mr. Soli's point was well taken, but that it would be better if at the next
CAB meeting the CAB has a presentation from Mr. Polson and a discussion of this issue. The CAB can
then make a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Soli said that they would appreciate
the CAB input. Chairman Norton stated that he believes the building is on the National Register of
Historic Places so it could not be demolished.
This concluded Mr. Polson's presentation.
Chairman Norton asked for a motion on the Capital Budget.
Mr. Hopper made a motion that the Citizens' Advisory Board recommend to the RIVIL.D Board of the
Commissioners Draft One of the FY14 Capital Budget dated March 29, 2013, in the amount of
$5,952,008, as presented. Any significant changes are to be submitted to the CAB for review and
recommendation. Motion was seconded by Mr. Nelson. Hearing no further discussion, Motion carried
4.0.•1(4 in favor; 0 opposed; 1 absent).
Scheduling of May Meeting — J. Norton, Chairman
After discussion the CAB members agreed to meet on May 15, 2013, at 6:30 pm, at the RIVIL.D.
4. Motion to Adjourn —J. Norton, Chairman
Motion to Adjourn the Citizens' Advisory Board meeting was made by Mr. Hooper, seconded by Mr.
Nelson. Hearing no further discussion, Motion carried 4.•0.•1(4 in favor; 0 opposed; 1 absent).
