Introductions
Chairman Pacino welcomed CAB Member, Tony Capobianco and asked if there was anything to report on. Mr. Capobianco
responded that there was nothing to report on at this time.
Public Comment
Chairman Pacino welcomed and had an individual from the public identify himself. Mr. Peter Brown introduced himself as a
Town Meeting Member, Town of Reading Precinct Ten.
Chairman Pacino reported that Commissioner Mancuso will be the Secretary this evening.
Mr. Brown asked, since he is interested in coming to the meetings, when can he ask questions? Chairman Pacino replied that
one of the first things on the agenda is public comment. Mr. Brown then clarified if he could ask a question at the end of the
meeting? Chairman Pacino explained that he could ask questions on the discretion of the Chair when it is appropriate at
meetings. Mr. Brown's second question related to the Executive Session Board meeting minutes on RMLD's website, he
noticed in the past those minutes have been posted, but not recently. He wanted to know if the intention was to continue to
do that. Ms. Foti responded that the RMLD Board of Commissioners 2012 Executive Session minutes are posted to RMLD's
website. Historically, in March the Board does a review on the prior year's Executive minutes. Chairman Pacino added that
the Executive Session minutes are checked because if there are issues that are still ongoing, such minutes cannot be released
until the issue is complete. Mr. Brown commented that he looked on the Reading Public Access schedule for Board
meetings, the RMLD Board is not listed for this evening, and it may be a good idea to get in contact with RCTV. Ms. Foti
explained that the RMLD Board meetings are posted on RMLD's website, Town of Reading's website and RCTV receives
an e-mail of RMLD's upcoming meeting. The RMLD will follow up with RCTV.
Chairman Pacino stated that Chairman Stempeck and Commissioner Talbot will not be in attendance at the meeting this
vening.

General Manager's Report — Ms. O'Brien — General Manager
Introduction of Hamid Jaffari, Director of Engineering and Operations
Ms. O'Brien introduced Mr. Jaffari, as the new Director of Engineering and Operations. Ms. O'Brien stated that Doctor
Jaffari possesses an EED in electrical engineering power systems which is above masters, below PhD as well as a PhD in
Organizational Leadership. Mr. Jaffari is recognized throughout the industry in utility design planning, reliability, and power
engineering. He comes to us after fifteen years at Danvers Electric where he was critical in developing and implementing a
successful reliability plan which took Danvers from the lowest in reliability indices to receiving APPA's prestigious RP3
award for reliability, accountability and safety. He also spearheaded the Smart Grid grant program from the DOE, designed,
implemented and integrated a smart system into the Danvers electric system. The smart system resulted in reduced losses,
reduced outage durations, improved feeder efficiencies and provided advanced customer information systems. He completed
a comprehensive engineering accurate GIS system. This system successfully integrated into the smart system enabling
engineering analysis and system modeling for demand response and demand management capabilities. He is active in the
industry associations as well as a professor, instructor at APPA, NEPPA, ECNE and area universities as well as universities
abroad. Prior, Mr. Jaffari worked for NSTAR and South Norwalk Municipal. His credentials are a perfect match to help the
RMLD to develop its long term reliability plans to include improved system reliability, flexibility, to incorporate demand
response for RMLD as well as demand management. Mr. Jaffari will mentor and help develop the staff skill sets to ensure
that RMLD's system and division interfaces, possesses the capabilities and flexibilities to remain competitive in the future,
through peak shaving, customer information systems and distribution reliability. Mr. Jaffari will speak on a monthly basis on
the Engineering and Operations Report.
Mr. Jaffari said that he is glad to be joining the RMLD team. He is looking forward to a great start. He is reviewing
operational plans, policies, procedures and he is getting to know the staff. The RMLD has talented employees and he is
looking forward to working with them. The past practice has been presenting reliability indices comparing the RMLD to
itself which does not meet the intent of the industry performance evaluations. Moving forward, he will be providing the
RMLD's reliability indices benchm rked against the regional and national indices, which is more meaningful. It is also
beneficial to use the New England area comparing reliability and frequency of outages. The data will be used to create
indices to track, and manage assets. The indices provide information about overall system reliability performance. The
ability to appropriate trend outage duration and frequency enables us to develop appropriate proactive maintenance programs.
Mr. Jaffari reported that RMLD will be performing a twenty year planning study to provide a road map for system
improvements and develop maintenance programs. The key to reliability is proactive maintenance. Preventive maintenance
ensures having a reliable system, which will be the strategy moving forward. Mr. Jaffari thanked the RMLD for the
opportunity. Chairman Pacino stated that he welcomes Mr. Jaffari on behalf of the commission to the Department and is glad
to see him on board.
Mr. Mancuso welcomed Mr. Jaffari. Mr. Mancuso asked about the new indices moving forward for outages, stating most
folks are generally satisfied with the current numbers. Mr. Mancuso questioned if Mr. Jaffari anticipated that the numbers
will improve with the new comparison measurement methodology so that the RMLD is shown to be even better than it
thought it was. Mr. Jaffari replied, yes and no. Yes, because the numbers really look good comparing RMLD to itself. No,
because the numbers fluctuate depending on uncertain weather related outages. However, moving forward with the proper
planning and proper preventive maintenance plan, it could get better. Mr. Jaffari cautioned that one big storm can create a
spike in the numbers. Mr. Mancuso added that is the case no matter how you measure it. Mr. Jaffari agreed. Mr. Jaffari said
that the trend should be going towards steady and stabilized factors. Mr. Mancuso commented the customer may see with the
new indices some fluctuation that may suggest that the quality of service is not as reliable as in the past, but in reality it is
only a change in measurement. Mr. Jaffari stated that the RMLD will assess the statistics based on the situation, the numbers
will be continually benchmarked; the annual average should be within the acceptable industry standard with respect to the
duration and frequency of outages when compared to the regional and national indices. These comparisons are a good
indicator on how the RMLD's system is performing. This will be a tool for engineers to assess and track down the problem
areas to determine what type of preventive maintenance programs need to be initiated.
Mr. Mancuso stated that he is concerned about the public misperception due to the change in measurement on the reliability •
indices that have been explained. Ms. O'Brien said that what is interesting, as Mr. Jaffari has indicated, that when you
compare yourself to yourself, you may not be doing that well. Ms. O'Brien pointed out that in benchmarking the RMLD
against itself, the reporting translates into — next month I did better than last month, but last month I was not doing that well.

General Manager's Report — Ms. O'Brien — General Manager
troduction of Hamid Jaffari, Director of Engineering and Operations
Ws. O'Brien pointed out that last July; Mr. Capobianco was astute when he asked about the transformer failures and fuses in
. there was a big spike. Compared to the previous month, it looked like the RMLD did terrible; however, if you
compared this to other utilities they would have also had some level of transformer fuser melting, in over loaded situations so
the spike would have been softened.
Ms. O'Brien pointed out that if there was an analysis of what happened in July and August that would have been better
because it would have clearly demonstrated the reason for the increase. As Mr. Jaffari said, although these indices are
compared to regional and national levels what the information is used for is to track and trend what is happening. If you are
starting to see fuse failures you want to get on a transformer fuse maintenance program, identify them and change them out
before the summer. That is what the indices are used for. Ms. O'Brien said that she will be glad to provide what were last
month's indices for the RMLD. Mr. Mancuso said that it makes sense, but is sensitive to any perceptual change.
Ms. O'Brien said that the overall current reliability shows that the RMLD is within standards. RMLD now has the ETracker
from the American Public Power Association. She wants to be realistic to the public. The other thing that is also important
when doing the presentation it will show that the RMLD is taking into account blips, blinks, dips and any other kind of
outages. Other utilities will not decrease their indices values for minor outages. However, the indices are meant to be used
as a planning tool for engineering system reliability. Because the RMLD is going to use that data to be proactive and
preventative all data will be shown. There is a need to transparent.
Mr. Soli welcomed Mr. Jaffari. Mr. Soli explained that with his attendance at Northeast Public Power Association meetings,
he was impressed with the presentation from Groton. Mr. Soli explained that Groton recently installed smart meters and
combined with their GIS system they are doing well with fault isolation, therefore customers did not have to call in an
outage. Also, Groton is able to see the load on circuits, which provided them with the information for transformer upgrades.
Mr. Soli asked if the RMLD is heading in this direction. Mr. Jaffari responded that a transformer load management program
is something that has to be created and planned at RMLD. As a result of tracking this data, a proper maintenance program
can be instituted. He had a transformer management program in place at Danvers Electric with life cycle analysis based on
e cyclic load of the transformer and peak load, which was provided, in part by AMR data and GIS data. When these two
,Wmponents are combined, you can get the true peaking cycling for seasonal and the life cycle analysis for twenty years to
replace transformers. This program will be developed.
Mr. Capobianco asked how do you validate the integrity of the data such as the blips that others do not report on so that we
are confident that the information is consistent or are people underreporting or is there room to use the numbers. Mr. Jaffari
replied that the Survalent outage management system will be installed and implemented at the RMLD. The AMR will pick
up blips in the system with the computer picking up that data. Mr. Capobianco is not concerned with the internal data sets, is
there a standard that everyone follows. Mr. Jaffari replied that every two years APPA performs a reliability study not
everyone is publishing those number and there are benchmarking standards, but not all blips are tracked by systems. RMLD
wants to know what causes the momentary outage work to correct the issue, not just report acceptable indices.
Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Process
Ms. O'Brien reported that the RMLD is preparing the Fiscal Year 2015 Capital and Expense Budgets. The Boards can
expect to see some improvements in the budget formats accountability. While the FY 15 budget vote will focus on that year,
it will also show the previous and next five year budgets. The change will include the year to date spending on the Fiscal
Year 2014 budget as well as Fiscal Year 2015 -2019 plan. This methodology provides a clear understanding of projects
including their total costs, the budget year's cost, the timeframe and any barriers to their success. The capital layout will be
presented relative to the depreciation fund for the same six years to provide an adequate justification to funding schedules.
Ms. O'Brien said that the Board has been accustomed to seeing the budget only for the fiscal year without knowing how it
ended in the prior year and what it would be doing in future years. Ms. O'Brien stated that she is going to show how the
RMLD is doing towards the end of that year, what you are voting on and the next five years with the depreciation fund. The
FY 15 Capital Budget is being done based on current reliability information in the absence of the reliability study which will
be integral to the organizational study. Ms. O'Brien said that Mr. Jaffari will be performing a study of the critical assets to
ensure that there are no smoking guns outside of the system projects we are proposing. The reliability study will be looking
at twenty years to ensure adequate substation capacity, integrity of assets, feeder optimization, system flexibility to
accommodate peak shaving, and the demand response programs. This study will provide recommendations to system
provements with prioritization, timelines and funding. Focus areas for FY 15 will include developing a road map to bring
e GIS system into a fully accurate and functional tool that the RMLD can use for system modeling. Collecting more data
and making it as built is critical in order to make the GIS functional. The other focus area for FY 15 is the development of a
substation maintenance group. Currently, only normal reactive maintenance is performed. A comprehensive predictive and
preventive maintenance program will be developed.

General Manager's Report — Ms. O'Brien — General Manager
Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Process •
Ms. O'Brien said that this will involve a two crew compliment in which each technician will require 5.5 to 7 years to be fully
qualified journeymen technicians. Currently, the maintenance is performed reactively. A consultant called in like UPG to
come in on a full time basis to change the oil timely would cost $2,800 to $3,200 daily. That is why it has not shifted from
reactive to proactive. In order to do it in a manner that would ensure that you have a predictive and preventive maintenance
program that everything is done on schedule with transformers being inspected, all the assets are being inspected which
would have mitigated the transformer spill in Wilmington being prevented. This however, will take time in order to provide
training with the technicians in relaying, circuit breakers as well as transformers. Those are the two big items that will be in
this upcoming year's budget to focus on and the foundations to ensuring stable reliability, present and future.
Ms. O'Brien stated that those are the foundations to your reliability. Also being looked at is tree trimming and training
employees for underground to phase out the underground contractor. They are looking at a lot of ways of becoming efficient
by using the in house expertise handling the majority of your maintenance.
Chairman Pacino asked what the timetable for the presentation of these is. Ms. O'Brien replied that the budgets are due to
the Citizens' Advisory Board (CAB) on March 31. There have been meeting and reviews with Mr. Jaffari added to the
process. Ms. O'Brien stated that Mr. Jaffari will be performing a system assessment to check to make sure nothing critical
has been omitted. The reliability study will come in late summer or early fall. The recommendations from the report will be
prioritized as well as time lined so it can be integrated into the budget process. Chairman Pacino added that the Board's
Budget Committee has met at the same time that the CAB Board has met. Ms. O'Brien added the same process will be
followed. Mr. Capobianco commented that the budget meetings are already scheduled, since he has been on the Board it has
been joint meetings, it is easier to do that way. CAB Chairman Norton will be contacted to see if the meetings will be held
jointly this year.
Ms. O'Brien said that this all integrates into the Cost of Service Study to get the preliminary capital and operating budgets
completed, at the least the rough numbers to integrate them into the Cost of Service Study as early as the end of next week.
There is the possibility that the Cost of Service Study could be completed before the end of March with meetings within the
last week of March to go over the results, a draft rate design by the end of March the meeting to go over the rate design the
week of April 4 and a presentation to the Board in April which is the tentative schedule. Mr. Mancuso added that if the
organizational study will be completed after the initial rate study it could have an impact on how we want to approach the
rate structure. Mr. Mancuso said that hypothetically, from an organizational perspective, we could fundamentally need a
different kind of organization and costs could go up or down, impacting the rate study. If we are trying to create a rate
structure that can be used as a model going forward. That model will be predicated on some assumptions about the
organization. Mr. Mancuso questioned if once the organizational study is completed, is it possible that it will affect the rate
design model? Ms. O'Brien responded that there could be an impact. The reliability study is integral to the organizational
study which could signal major system changes, which would be reflected in the capital budget and depreciation fund.
Unless therefore, there is a recommendation to change the depreciation expense from three to five percent, there would not be
an impact. Ms. O'Brien added that if Mr. Jaffari does not find any further smoking guns other than said maintenance and
GIS issues the plan would be then simply laid out for long term stability. From the organizational structure of adding
employees or reorganizing those types of things, consolidating jobs or succession planning any thoughts of early separation
ideas, she is not seeing that will be a huge impact. The numbers for all the vacancies are being carried right now. The
organizational study may show impacts for years one, five or ten. Ms. O'Brien currently does not see any smoking guns. If
the organizational structure has an impact on rates in the first year or so we would have to put in this Cost of Service Study.
Mr. Mancuso suggested that the commission should think about an approval of rates changes in the context of the possibility
of change that may be suggested by the organizational study. However, with what Ms. O'Brien has stated she is pretty
comfortable with what gets approved can sit for a year, the model will still hold true even though there may be some
organizational changes down the road.
Mr. Soli said that on the Cost of Service Study, what he is concerned about is a more detailed break out of the power costs on
the operating budget. In the past, we have seen a $42 million number for power supply. Mr. Soli would like to see a detailed
breakout of the power costs for the capacity costs from ISO New England, which is different from the capacity costs of
NYPA. Ms. O'Brien stated that we have that data and Ms. Parenteau's presentation does not get into that level of detail, but
the information is available now. The Cost of Service presentation there can be two presentations, one being an overall
summary and one for more detail. We want to be transparent, but do not want to be at such a level of detail that it precludes
productive movement to ensure recovery of production costs. Mr. Soli said that his concern is that you have to project next
year's cost though difficult those costs have to be allocated to the customer classes. Mr. Soli stated that he has been to APPA
classes on Cost of Service Study and they say in all these classes there is never enough data. Finally, with RMLD's new
metering it should have pretty good data; this is what the peak is based on.

eneral Manager's Report — Ms. O'Brien — General Manager
iscal Year 2015 Budget Process
Mr. Soli said that the ISO New England capacity cost is spread one way, the other capacity costs are spread other ways.
NYPA should be spread a different way, those breakouts are important. Ms. O'Brien clarified with Mr. Seldon that will there
be sufficient breaks outs in Mr. Seavey presentation. Mr. Seldon responded that we have a lot of data and can accommodate
any commission member's requests. There is a lot of information available.
Chairman Pacino suggested that Chairman Stempeck concur with Mr. Norton if the Budget Committee will meet with the
CAB and potential reorganization.
Policy Committee Meetings
Ms. O'Brien reported that the Policy Committee met several months ago, all RMLD policies were lumped under the Board of
Commissioners because there was no other mechanism when they clearly fell under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter
164 as operational policies and governing policies. Ms. O'Brien presented a spreadsheet separating them the Policy
Committee voted on the concept going forward; however, another meeting is required. Ms. O'Brien has the Drug & Alcohol
policy as well as other policies that need to be signed and put into action. Chairman Pacino suggested having a Policy
Committee meeting scheduled some morning with Mr. Mancuso's concurrence.
Power Supply Report — January 2014 — Mr. Seldon (Attachment 1)
Mr. Seldon reported that the RMLD's load for January was approximately 61.8 million kWhs, which is a 1.8% increase from
January 2013. RMLD's energy cost was approximately $3.19 million, approximately equivalent to $.052 per kilowatt -hour.
Mr. Seldon stated that the Fuel Charge adjustment was $.045 per kilowatt -hour for January and the RMLD sales totaled 55.24
million kilowatt hours, as a result the RMLD under collected by approximately $763,000 resulting in a Deferred Fuel Cash
Reserve balance of $1.6 million. The February Fuel Charge was set at $.05 and is projected in March to go to $.055 per
kilowatt -hour which results in a projected Deferred Fuel Cash balance of $1.1 million. By slowly increasing the Deferred
Fuel charge due to the expense for three months due the more expensive winter power, there will be a gradual increase in the
Mind by the end of March. The target for the Deferred Fuel fund is $2.5 million by fiscal year end.
Mr. Seldon reported that the RMLD purchased about 1.1% of its energy requirements from the ISO New England Spot
Market at the average cost of $370 per megawatt hour. The StonyBrook unit has been running a lot as well as the Braintree
Watson Unit which have replaced those costs.
RMLD's peak demand for January was 112.2 megawatts which occurred on Thursday, January 2 at 6:00 pm with the
temperature at six degrees, last year the peak was 109 megawatts which occurred on Wednesday, January 23 at 7:00 pm. The
monthly capacity requirement was 215.7 megawatts with the total capacity cost of $1.653 million which is equivalent to $6.33 a
kilowatt month. Capacity and energy costs were approximately 7.47 cents per kilowatt hour with 6.8% of the energy from
hydro purchases which include NYPA, Swift River, Collins and Summit.
The RMLD has four hydro projects it receives RECs from. Through the first three quarters of 2013 and the month of January
2014, the RMLD has sold 13,392 RECs for $727,000. The RMLD estimates that it will receive an additional $134,000 from the
projected sales of 26,044 RECs for quarter four. The total 2013 REC revenue is estimated to come in at $861,000.
Transmission costs in January were $989,607 which is a 35% increase compared to last year. This increase is attributable to the
higher increase of what the RMLD is carrying for capacity however; most of this is due to the increase in capacity costs.
Mr. Soli had a comment on Table 1, the ISO Interchange reflects almost $1.5 million that they paid the RMLD, is that correct.
Mr. Seldon responded that is correct. In January, the RMLD sold more expensive power than the power it purchased through
the ISO. The ISO paid the RMLD, however the fuel bills for StonyBrook and Watson are not reflected. Those billings are
received after the fact with those monies going out to pay for the units that have been running on oil for January and part of
February.
Mr. Soli clarified that it appears in the Financials, the NYPA credit does it run a month behind. Mr. Seldon responded typically,
yes. Mr. Soli added that the Financials do not reflect this table. Mr. Seldon responded that is correct. Mr. Soli said that he will
e very interested to see next month what happens to the NYPA credit. Mr. Soli pointed out the RMLD auditor has said that
zere are two ways to calculate that. One way is the cost allocation method and the second, which he has been recommending,
which has not happened is the cost replacement. In the next meeting, Mr. Soli would like to see the detailed calculation for that
NYPA credit. He computed the cost allocation which resulted in $106,180. He would like to see that before the next meeting.

Financial Report — January 2014 — Mr. Fournier (Attachment 2)
Mr. Fournier presented the January Financial Report provided in the Commissioner packets for the first seven months of this 1J
fiscal year; the negative change in Net Assets or Net Loss for January was $881,000, making the year to date Net Loss a little
less than $700,000. Fuel Expenses have exceeded Fuel Revenues by approximately $1 million with the Fuel Charge
increasing over the next several months and with the recent base rate increase, the RMLD should be able to turn that loss
around and finish the year strong.
Year to date base revenues were under budget by $1.4 million or about 5 %, actual base revenues were $27.3 million.
Year to date purchased power base expenses were over budget by $43,000 or 1.4 %. Actual purchased power base costs were
$17.1 million.
Year to date Operating and Maintenance (O &M) expenses combined were under budget by $232,000 or 3 %. Actual O &M
expenses were $7.3 million. Depreciation expense and voluntary payments to the Towns were on budget.
Operating Fund is at $10.9 million; Capital Fund $4.5 million; Rate Stabilization Fund $6.7 million; Deferred Fuel Fund $1.6
million and the Energy Conservation Fund at $437,000. Year to date kilowatt hours sales are 417 million kilowatt hours,
which is 1.4% behind last year. Gaw revenues collected year to date are $417,000 which brings the total collected since
inception to $2.4 million. Based on the projections of February revenues, the month of March will be the last month for the
Gaw charge in customers' billings.
Chairman Pacino clarified that the rate increase put in place should make up some of this deficit. Mr. Fournier replied that is
correct.
