Report of the Chairman
Report on Public Forum sponsored by the Town of Reading — Coleen O'Brien
Ms. O'Brien reported that she had participated in the second meeting with the Metropolitan Area Planning
Council (MAPC) on the Public Forum for the Economic Development Action Plan, there was one prior that
she was not aware of. The meeting consisted of various stations where architects showed potential
conceptual drawings of this area.
Ms. O'Brien said that when she had received the invitation, the 230 Ash Street complex was not within
the parameter of the study area but when she arrived at the meeting it was. Ms. O'Brien stated that she
had spoken with one of the architects where the conceptual water colored drawing showed RMLD over to
the far right side of the drawing, the current RMLD site displayed housing /apartment units, commercial
use and a park in the rear. The architect said that while the analysis had shown this area was good for
housing because of the close proximity to the train, at the first meeting it was said that this area was good
for commercial and this was more of a concept of a mixed use.
Ms. O'Brien reported that Mr. 011ila from RMLD and Mr. Barbas were also in attendance. Ms. O'Brien
asked the architect if he was aware that the RMLD rented a large portion of the warehouse out back, and
stated that there are over fifty -one company vehicles and seventy employees. When you look at the
physical area in question the RMLD almost takes up half.
Mr. Talbot asked if there was an actual rezoning proposal that Ms. O'Brien was aware of. Chairman
O'Rourke replied that the town is engaged with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council to create an
Economic Development Plan. Ms. O'Brien said that there were more questions than answers and that all
nine owners of this area were invited to speak.
Ms. O'Brien said that the next step for the RMLD will be to try and arrange a sit down with Jean Delios,
Bob LeLacheur, Tom 011ila, and Jane Parenteau before the next meeting which is in September and
before the next town department head meeting that she will be hosting on July 9. Ms. O'Brien stated that
she would share the information from those meetings with the Board. Chairman O'Rourke asked what
the date of the September meeting. Ms. O'Brien replied that she would forward the date to the Board.
Ms. O'Brien summarized the meeting as being more of a discussion type meeting as she wanted the
architects to be aware of the physical space that the RMLD uses for its daily operations, especially when
you have to consider the radius turns for the large deliveries made by tractor trailer trucks as well as other
factors that have to do with the operations of the Department. Ms. O'Brien said that she is glad to sit with
the town to talk about where the RMLD would be located in the conceptual designs for this complex. Ms.
O'Brien stated that in addition to that we are still actively looking to fill the Facilities Manager's position,
who will be preparing the Facility Study for best use of this building, Station 1, and the garage, hopefully
to consolidate and be greener. Ms. O'Brien said that at this point until we find out the state of Station 1, if
there are any hazards it is hard to tell. Ms. O'Brien stated that some of the assumptions that will go into
the study will include appraisals of this building, the Barbas area as well as the parking lots.
Chairman O'Rourke asked if there was any feedback. Mr. Stempeck replied that the town should take
into consideration activities such as loading and unloading trucks that would certainly impact the
residential buildings that they want to put up and said that he could not imagine that would be very
interesting to a lot of people. Mr. Stempeck stated that given that the RMLD is producing significant
revenue for all four communities that we need to make sure that they are all aware that the RMLD has
these needs for their asset.

Report of the Chairman
Report on Public Forum sponsored by the Town of Reading — Coleen O'Brien
Chairman O'Rourke stated that a couple of actions items for Ms. O'Brien are to let the Board know when
the next Economic Development Action Plan meeting is and asked if is open to the public. Ms. O'Brien
replied that she could not speak to that but did receive an invitation and was not sure if it was just the
owners. Ms. O'Brien said that she would get back to the Board on that.
Mr. Talbot asked what the next meeting was about. Chairman O'Rourke replied that it is a follow up to
the June 13 meeting. Mr. Talbot asked why that would not be open to the public. Mr. Pacino replied that
per the Open Meeting Law it should be open to the public. Chairman O'Rourke asked Ms. O'Brien to get
back to the Board on the date of the next meeting and if open to the public if the members would be
interested in attending. Ms. O'Brien stated that she would report back to the Board in email as soon as
she meets with Bob LeLacheur and Jean Delios.
Mr. Pacino stated that the next step would be to meet and talk with the town. Ms. O'Brien said that she
had met with Bob and Jean and that she had told them that the RMLD was going to perform a Master
Facilities Plan for best usage and that we wanted to be more efficient. Ms. O'Brien stated that not to be
misunderstood that we were not vacating this building but we are studying all options.
Update on RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Meeting — Commissioner Pacino
Chairman O'Rourke stated that a member of the RMLD Commissioners attend the CAB meetings as they
do for us and thought that good practice going forward would be to have the commissioner in attendance
report back on any information appropriate or valuable.
Mr. Pacino reported that he had attended the June 17, 2015 CAB meeting. At this meeting the CAB did
vote to approve the rate changes and there was a very interesting discussion about economic
development that was originally raised by Mr. Mancuso. Mr. Pacino said that it would be to help the
towns to foster economic development within the towns which could potentially lead to more revenue for
the RMLD which may lead to less rate increases going forward as to potentially each year maybe a one
or two percent increase, if there is more growth then we would not need one. Mr. Pacino stated that Ms.
O'Brien was going to be in touch with the towns with a letter to let them know that the RMLD can help
them in this area. Mr. Pacino said that he is not sure exactly how the RMLD can help with economic
development and that the RMLD could not be the forefront.
Mr. Mancuso said that the idea is to address the communication issue with the towns, by looking to
generate more revenue as they realize that there is less state funding. In Reading he has heard folks
refer to how critical that is and that the initial thought is what we do to sell electricity is that we can help
the towns understand what an asset RMLD is and help them inspire how they sell RMLD as an asset.
Whatever the economic development plans are help them to steer the development plans to empower
them to be able to do a better job in saying "Why do you want to be in our territory" and maybe provide
some guidance maybe about where would be a good place to put a server farm based on the network.
This is really just trying to figure out how to have that conversation.
Mr. Pacino asked if this is something that should have on the agenda on a regular basis, the Board was in
agreement. Ms. O'Brien asked if the Board would like to review the letter that she is going to send to the
Town Managers. Ms. O'Brien said that she would send the letter to the Board for review and comment,
all comments should be sent back to Jeanne Foti.
Ms. O'Brien stated that the intent of the letter is not to steer their economic development but to reiterate
the benefit of the RMLD, what it has to offer to the towns, services, programs that are offered and to keep
in mind as they work with their economic development that this is quite a benefit that only certain towns
get to realize. Ms. O'Brien said that she would also include that there has not been a new municipal
since about 1930. Chairman O'Rourke asked Ms. O'Brien to send the letter with a response time where it
needs to be back.
RMLD's Travel (Overnight/Day Travel) Policy 5, Revision 8
Mr. Pacino reported that the Policy Committee met this past Tuesday to discuss the Travel Policy,
Revision 8. Mr. Pacino staled that the committee extensively discussed the policy and changes with a
recommendation for the Board to adopt and accept the policy with the changes. Chairman O'Rourke
stated that this policy mirro a policy that you might find in the private sector, overall it is consistent and
with the few tweaks it is a g 0 policy.

Report of the Chairman
RMLD's Travel (Overnight/pay Travel) Policy 5, Revision 8
Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that based on the recommendation of the RMLD
Board of Commissioners Policy Committee that the RMLD Board of Commissioners approve the RMLD's
Travel (Overnight/Day Travel) Policy 5, Revision 8 be adopted as presented.
Motion carried 5:0:0.
Approval of the Board Minutes November 21, 2014 and December 18, 2014
Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that the RMLD Board of Commissioners approve
the Regular Session meeting minutes of November 21, 2014 and December 18, 2014 as presented.
Motion carried 5:0:0. Mr. Hennessy was not a commissioned member at that time.
General Manager's Report — Ms. O'Brien — General Manager
Ms. O'Brien reported that both the Reliability and Organizational Studies went well when presented at the
CAB meeting. Ms. O'Brien stated that both Mr. Mancuso and Mr. Chrisos had suggested to take all of the
recommendations from both reports and put together a slide presentation to show what the RMLD is
going to do and not going to do with an explanatory narrative. Ms. O'Brien said that updates will be given
as we move along and continue. Ms. O'Brien reported that the update will be given in September.
Chairman O'Rourke stated that the Board was given both presentations, the Organizational Study had an
executive summary but not the Reliability Study. Chairman O'Rourke asked if that was something that
was available. Ms. O'Brien replied that they will take the recommendations from the report, put them on
chart and update the members. Ms. O'Brien noted that the emergency immediate safety electrical
recommendations have already been taken care of and addressed.
Ms. O'Brien reported that Leidos is supporting the RMLD with the completion of the Career Development
Plans for each of the employees as well as salary evaluations and updated job descriptions. There are
over seventy employees, a good chunk has already been completed, but like the policies there is a lot to
do. Leidos is going to come in with training on leadership skills assessment and the last piece is creating
the Strategic Plan. Mr. Talbot asked if Leidos was delivering the Leadership Training or do they
outsource it. Ms. O'Brien replied that they subcontract someone who does an independent review and
they blend with the outcome of that. They have a company that specializes in Leadership Skills
Assessment and the outcome of it will go back into the recommendations of what we may need for further
training.
Ms. O'Brien stated that they are helping to coordinate by providing the management training to make this
process go through so that we can get to the Strategic Plan. Based out of these Leadership Committees
that are put together it will be the employees who will create the Strategic Plan. Chairman O'Rourke said
that if there is any assistance that is appropriate from the Board in terms of how you interface with Leidos
or any calibration they would be happy to do so. Chairman O'Rourke asked if his assumption is that
based on the current organization that any organizational design changes would probably not happen this
fiscal year. Ms. O'Brien replied that they are still vetting the organizational charts where some ideas
make sense and are moving in that direction while this plan was written in a twenty year time plan and
based on succession planning there are some things that make sense right away, others five or ten years
or when people retire. This is what they are trying to put together in a more realistic schedule when
working around all the unions and who you physically have here. Ms. O'Brien stated that the objective is
to have a certain amount of jobs in a utility that have to be done and people have to be trained to do
those jobs. We just to make sure that people are placed most efficiently and have the skillsets to do their
job accurately and safely.
Chairman O'Rourke asked if there were any questions, there were none.
Power Supply Report — May 2015 — Ms. Parenteau
Approval of RMLD rates to be filed effective July 1, 2015
Ms. Parenteau reported as discussed in May when reviewing the operating budget that there was
extensive discussion on the current eight month actual four months budgeted revenues, with base
revenues of $21 AM increasing to $23M for FY2016. Ms. Parenteau stated that in order to achieve that
increase the RMLD can either increase the kilowatt hour sales which is equivalent to load growth or
increase the current rates. RMLD's load (sales) over the past 10 years has been flat to declining. As
discussed during the review of the operating budget, RMLD assumed a 1 % decrease in sales. In order to
achieve that $23M in base revenue, a base rate increase is necessary.

Power Supply Report — May 2015 — Ms. Parenteau
Approval of RMLD rates to be filed effective July 1, 2015
Ms. Parenteau stated that depending on rate class and usage, the average increase for customers is
between two to four percent. The average residential customer who uses 750 kilowatt hours per month
would see a 3.3% increase, a commercial or large industrial time -of -use customer would see an increase
of about 2.07 %. It fluctuates based on the demand they use and total kilowatt hours per month and the
on the residential side it is basically their kilowatt hours. Ms. Parenteau apologized that this should have
been tied to the budget where it was part and parcel of the decision in approving the operating budget.
Ms. Parenteau assured that going forward when the budgets are put together for both the CAB and Board
of Commissioners if any base rate increase is necessary this portion of it will be tied to the operating
budget. This will be a cleaner process that will allow more time to advertise for our constituents of the
increase. Ms. Parenteau stated that these rate increases would be effective July 1, 2015.

dated to be effective July 1, 2015 on the recommendation of the General Manager and RMLD's Citizens'
Advisory Board.
Motion carried 5:0:0.
Chairman O'Rourke noted that this was presented to the Citizens' Advisory Board on June 17.
Mr. Talbot asked that they study next year why they should or shouldn't make the Time -of -Use Program
opt out instead of opt in. Make the rate being dependent on when the costs are actually being incurred by
the Department. Mr. Talbot stated that if people do not want the Time -of -Use they could opt out, the
customer will be told with lots of warning that they do not have to take it but it would make it so much
easier if time -of -use was just the default rate. Ms. Parenteau asked if this would apply to only new
customers. Mr. Talbot replied no, stating that we are all facing a tsunami of peak costs, we have been
hearing this for months /years. Why not just take a bold step next year obviously not now, we have a
whole year to think about this.
Mr. Hennessy asked if everyone would have to pay that rate. Mr. Talbot replied that everyone would get
a cheaper rate from seven to noon and pay the higher rate from noon to seven and opt out if they choose
not to take it. The customer would have to take the appropriate step to not get the Time -of -Use. Mr.
Talbot said that other utilities around the world do this where the rate is different depending on the time of
day by default. Ms. Parenteau stated from an administrative point of view the RMLD would need to
generate service orders for 25,000 customers and change 25,000 meters because the Time -of -Use
meters are different than the residential meters. Ms. Parenteau reported that it is not as simple as
clicking a button and changing the rate.
Mr. Talbot said that it could be implemented over a period of years. Mr. Talbot stated that if we want
people to do it, and it is economical for the Department, why are we not just doing this.
Ms. O'Brien asked if Mr. Talbot was aware of what Braintree is doing with their Time -of -Use for
commercial. Ms. Parenteau said that this has to be studied, Braintree is now changing their commercial
rate so that they are charging their customers the demand charge coincident with the system peak. Ms.
Parenteau stated that in theory one would think that would be great however, the RMLD has a lot of
customers who may not coincide with our system peak in terms of the demand and this could reduce the
revenue that we may receive from those customers.
Page 1 5
Power Supply Report — May 2015 — Ms. Parenteau
Approval of RMLD rates to be filed effective July 1, 2015
RMLD records the highest demand in any thirty day period which includes any fifteen minute increment,
Ms. Parenteau stated that it was her belief that it could be an actual loss of revenue for the RMLD, but
without analyzing the data she would be very reluctant to impose that on our service system for our
customers.
Mr. Stempeck stated that it would be good to look at the data and analyze it then suggested to table the
subject until it could be looked at further. Mr. Talbot said that this was not a motion just a discussion on
the rates, a whole year to chew on this and think why would we not do this.
Chairman O'Rourke asked if this was something that the Department could study and look at over some
reasonable time. Ms. Parenteau replied that right now we can get hourly data from the current meters,
we would have to be able to analyze that data. Chairman O'Rourke said that before getting into super
number crunching maybe it's an in -house discussion over what are the advantages and disadvantages
and to get an update at the September meeting.
Ms. O'Brien asked Ms. Parenteau what some reasons might be that the residential customers would not
sign up for this. Ms. Parenteau replied, life style changes, some people do not want to be told when they
can or can't do their laundry. Mr. Talbot stated then they can opt out. Mr. Stempeck stated that there is
an asset that the Department would have to buy which is new meters and install them which is a service
cost, we would have this differential. Mr. Talbot stated that they would pay it back two dollars a month,
when you have the Time -of —Use rate you pay an extra couple dollars a month. Ms. Parenteau said that
currently when customers sign up for the Time -of -Use they have to stay on the rate for a year to try and
control some of the administration costs. Ms. Parenteau stated that they will come up with some thoughts
as suggested and report back to the Board at the September meeting. Chairman O'Rourke asked to also
have some background to understand what it means Time -of -Use, the implications and how we deal with
our customers today.
Chairman O'Rourke asked if there was any other discussion, there was none.
Power Supply Report — May 2015 — Ms. Parenteau
Ms. Parenteau reported on three slides one of which showed how the May 25 market statistics looks at
the day ahead versus real time average cost for the month by day. There was a slight spike on May 10
which happened to be Mother's Day at hour 21 which was around 9 p.m. real time prices increased to
$1,000 per megawatt hour. Ms. Parenteau said that it was most likely the result of an import constraint as
it was only for that one hour and then it dropped significantly after that.
Ms. Parenteau stated that day ahead cleared around $25 per megawatt hour or 2.5 cents and real time
cleared at $27, they were relatively low. May is a shoulder month where there is not a lot of hot weather
and prices were relatively low for the month. The day ahead market prices for years 2013 through 2015
show that the 2015 prices were significantly lower than the prior two years. Ms. Parenteau said that this
most likely had a lot to do with the price of natural gas and that it is extremely low right now.
The final graph showed the resources by mix and percentage, stating it is pretty typical that in May on the
ISO market interchange the average of $27 where the RMLD purchased about 14% of our power supply
from that resource. The Millstone and Seabrook units were online and noted that Seabrook is scheduled
for refueling in the fall. Ms. Parenteau said that RMLD's energy costs are referenced in the entire
portfolio which looks at March through May the March costs were a little over five cents where May is just
under four cents. This helps to keep the fuel charge low to the customers which represents half of the
power supply costs.
Mr. Stempeck asked about the gas being used for residential heating. Ms. Parenteau replied January
through February New England is at the end of the pipeline and that the ISO is working on restructuring to
increase that capacity to alleviate some of those prices, but someone is going to have to pay for that
capacity if they do that.
Engineering & Operations Report — May 2015 — Mr. Jaffari
Mr. Jaffari stated that they are making steady progress on the Capital Improvements including
Construction Projects, New Customer Service Connections and Special Projects /Capital Purchases.
Page 1 6
Engineering & Operations Report - May 2015 - Mr. Jaffari
Mr. Jaffari reported that Construction Project 102 - Pole Line Upgrade - Lowell Street, Wilmington -
70% complete, Project 104 - Upgrading Old Lynnfield Center URDs (Cook's Farm) - 50% complete,
Project 212 - 4W5 - West Street - Force Account, Reading - 55% complete.
Mr. Jaffari reported that new Customer Service Connections for the month of May including the new
Customer Service installations for Residential Customers and new or upgraded overhead and
underground services is on- going.
With regards to the routine maintenance program: Mr. Jaffari reported on the Aged /Overloaded
Transformer Replacement Program Padmount Single -Phase replacement - 13% complete and
Padmount Three -Phase replacement - 8% complete, Overhead Single -Phase replacement - 10%
complete and Overhead Three -Phase replacement - 3.3% complete.
Pole Testing System -wide 645 poles were tested system -wide for FY15, 390 passed, 233 failed of which
83 have been replaced, 22 condemned of which all 22 were replaced. Mr. Jaffari reported that the failed
poles were retested to prioritize them for the replacement process. Mr. Jaffari reported that 46 of the 105
poles that were replaced transfers have been completed.
Mr. Jaffari stated that upon inspection of the eighteen overhead feeders, a number of tree branches and
vines were found on the lines and removed. Manhole inspections are pending, but there has been
progress at Cook's Farm underground construction project. The Porcelain Cutout Replacement (with
Polymer) Program; as of May 31, 2015 - 90% complete, there are 284 remaining porcelain cutouts to be
replaced.
Mr. Jaffari reported that the Infrared Scanning of the substations for the month of May found no problems.
There was also infrared scanning at River Park, Analog Devices and the Ballardvale area. Mr. Jaffari
stated that a minor problem was found at Analog Devices which will be taken care of the week of July 4
as part of the proactive maintenance program.
Mr. Stempeck asked how the tree trimming program was going. Mr. Jaffari reported to date 1,325 pole
spans have been completed and that the program is going very well.
Mr. Jaffari reported on the three reliability indices that the RMLD tracks. SAIDI (System Average
Interruption Duration Index), SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index), and CAIDI (Customer
Average Interruption Duration Index) which are all well below the National and Regional averages. The
RMLD is doing very well reliability wise.
Mr. Jaffari reported on the Outage Causes and stated that the majority of the outages are equipment
related - 37 %, trees - 28 %, wildlife - 23 %, others factors which are a very small portion of the outages
are vehicle accidents, weather and human error. Mr. Jaffari stated that the maintenance programs as
well as the capital improvement projects will address all of these areas. The trees are now being
maintained and cut back eight feet as opposed to five feet and the RMLD should start to see the benefit
from all of these programs and improvements that were recently initiated.
Mr. Hennessy asked why the 2015 CAIDI figure was so low. Mr. Jaffari replied that this year we are doing
really well and the system is holding very well. Instrumental to this figure being so low are the
improvements and implementation of the new maintenance programs. Mr. Jaffari stated that another
factor is where a storm hits and added that so far we have been lucky. The winter was harsh and we
survived, but if a tornado was to come to the town depending on where it hits it could change these
numbers. Mr. Jaffari said that the trend should be going down over time and that is what we want. The
way that we capture the problem and allocate money to address the problem is tracking the trends of
what causes the outages.
Mr. Jaffari stated that with the GIS operating and updated we will be able to target specific locations down
the road when we have the technological tools (i.e. SCADA, Outage Management, and GIS) necessary to
perform the feeder analysis. This analysis will allow the RMLD to see which feeders are experiencing the
most outages. Mr. Jaffari said that right now we are only addressing the ones in the red zone, the ones
that need to be taken care of immediately to avoid unnecessary spending such as oil remediation.

MGL Chapter 30B Bids
Mr. Jaffari reported that RFP 2015 -26 GIS /GPS Field Inventory was sent out with a list of attributes to be
collected from the field. The RFP was sent to forty -two firms and only six firms had submitted proposals.
The proposals were evaluated and only one of the submittals gave pricing for the two options. Mr. Jaffari
reported that one of the options was to prepare the data for Milsoft and the other option was to take it
onto the next level right at the meter base. Chairman O'Rourke asked if Davey was the only one with the
cost associated with an option. Mr. Jaffari replied no, other submittals gave option pricing but they were
not as complete as the Davey's submittal. Chairman O'Rourke asked if any other submittals gave the
option for the meter. Mr. Jaffari replied no, only Davey submitted that option.
RFP 2015 -26 GIS /GPS Field Inventory
Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that RFP 2015 -26 for a GIS /GPS Field Inventory
be awarded to Davey Resource Group, a division of The Davey Tree Expert Company, as the most
advantageous responsive and responsible proposer for $395,434 including all options ( Milsoft and Meter
Locations) on the recommendation of the General Manager.
Motion carried 5:0:0.
Mr. Jaffari stated that the next three bids are for transformers, for the transformer replacement program
as well as for the commercial and residential new services.
MGL Chapter 30B Bids
IFB 2015 -30 Three Phase Pole Mounted Transformers
Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that bid 2015 -30 for Three Phase Pole Mounted
Transformers be awarded to WESCO for a total cost of $60,341.00 as the lowest qualified bidder on the
recommendation of the General Manager.
Motion carried 5:0:0.
Mr. Talbot asked about how many submittals are we getting for these bids. Mr. Jaffari replied that on the
first page of each bid it describes how many companies received the bid and how many submittals were
received. For this particular bid twelve companies were sent the bid documents with two submittals. Mr.
Talbot asked why only two companies submitted bids. Mr. Jaffari replied that some of the distributors
have a longer lead time than requested. Mr. Stempeck said that he suspects that companies like
WESCO with ties to a manufacturing army have the advantage over some distributors where they are
able to carry the available stock.
IFB 2015 -32 Three Phase Pad Mounted Transformers (Dead Front)
Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that bid 2015 -32 for Three Phase Pad Mounted
Transformers be awarded to WESCO for a total cost of $78,650.00 as the lowest qualified bidder on the
recommendation of the General Manager.
Motion carried 5:0:0.
Mr. Pacino asked why the other two bidders with lower pricing were excluded, what had they not met. Mr.
Jaffari replied that they did not meet the specification requirements. Mr. Stempeck stated that there are
notes on the second page for non - responsive bidders. Mr. Jaffari stated that WESCO did not meet the
technical specifications and Graybar did not meet dimensional specifications. Some of the transformers
are of a special design for the RIVILD.
IFB 2015 -33 Three Phase Pad Mounted Transformers (Dead Front Loop Feed)
Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that bid 2015 -33 for Three Phase Pad Mounted
Transformers be awarded to Power Sales for a total cost of $54,617.00 as the lowest qualified bidder on
the recommendation of the General Manager.
Motion carried 5:0:0.
Financial Report — May 2015 — Mr. Fournier
Mr. Fournier presented the May Financial Report which represents the first eleven months of fiscal year
2015; the positive change in Net Assets of $800,000, increasing the year to date Net Income to $3.4M.
Year to date budgeted Net Income was approximately $2.5 million with the resulting Net Income being
over budget by approximately $900,000 or 36 %. Actual year to day fuel revenues exceeded fuel
expenses by about $1.2 million. Purchase Power Capacity and Transmission (PPCT) revenues exceed
PPCT expenses by approximately $350,000.

Financial Report — May 2015 — Mr. Fournier
Year to date base revenues were under budget by $340,000 or less than 2 %, actual base revenues were
$19.7 million compared to the budgeted amount of $20.6 million.
Year to date purchased power base expense was over budget by $400,000 or about 1.6 %, actual
purchased power base costs were $26.5 million compared to the budgeted power base cost of $26.1
million.
Year to date operating and maintenance (O &M) expenses combined were over budget by $150,000 or
1.2 %, actual O &M expenses were $13.0 million compared to the budgeted amount of $12.9 million.
Depreciation expense and voluntary payments to the Towns were on budget.
Operating Fund was at $9.4 million, Capital Fund $5.7 million, Rate Stabilization Fund $6.7 million,
Deferred Fuel Fund $5.3 million and the Energy Conservation Fund at $625,000.
Year to date kilowatt hour sales were 634 million kilowatt hours sold which is 1.3 million kilowatt hours or
.21% ahead of last year's actual figure.
Mr. Fournier reported that cumulatively the five divisions were over budget by $115,000 or .58 %.
Mr. Fournier stated that this weekend staff will be performing the physical count and the auditors will be in
on Monday to verify those counts. The auditors were in this past week performing field work which went
well. Mr. Fournier said that during the first week or two in July the Department will be sending out the
account receivable confirmations to selected customers so that they can confirm their balances to us.
The audit is scheduled for the week of August 10.
Mr. Fournier reported that for the first eleven months there are no surprises, in looking at the Rate of
Return the RMLD had budgeted 6.85 %. We are allowed to make 8 %. When the final numbers come in
we are probably looking at a 6.2 or 6.3% Rate of Return. Mr. Pacino asked if there would be excess
money to put into the pension reserve at the end of June. Mr. Fournier replied that we have not made the
actual payment. The $1.5 million was budgeted for the contribution and depending on how the final
numbers look the RMLD will probably fund the whole amount or some portion of that. Another Actuarial
Study will be performed in FY16 to see what the contribution should be.
General Discussion
Mr. Talbot said that at the last meeting there was discussion around the new two megawatt gas
generator. If we wired half of the remaining electric water heaters with timers there would be a
guaranteed peak cut in that same range. Mr. Talbot stated that the cost might be very little and the
challenge is to identify who has them and then approach them. Mr. Talbot said that it was his belief that
there are vendors that have software that could analyze load profiles and tell you which customers have
these water heaters. Mr. Talbot asked if it was feasible that maybe in September to get a report on
whether the Department could do a push to identify them and proactively go out and do far more on that
very successful program.
Ms. O'Brien asked for clarification asking if there were systems out there that were not hooked up. Ms.
Parenteau replied that Mr. Talbot is asking the Department to determine who has the electric water
heaters and to approach them to add them to the water heater program.
Mr. Talbot said that there is an estimate out there that we have four thousand or so electric water heaters
in the district of which three hundred are under our program. Ms. Parenteau stated that the RMLD has a
total of about six hundred devices of which approximately 300 have been installed and about another
three hundred devices to potentially install without procuring additional stock. Mr. Talbot said that there
are about three thousand water heaters out there that are not controlled right now.
Ms. Parenteau stated that would have to be determined. GDS did a study in 2008 and they estimated
based on saturation studies that there was a potential to have approximately two thousand customers
with electric water heaters depending on when the homes were built and what they installed.
Chairman O'Rourke asked what the device does. Ms. Parenteau replied that the device is hooked up to
the internet and is programmed to turn the water heater off for two hours. During the summer this occurs
between the hours of 2 -4 p.m. Additionally, the RMLD has the ability to turn it off if we are going to peak
a little later. In the wintertime it occurs between the hours of 5 -7 p.m.
Page 1 9
General Discussion
Ms. Parenteau stated that typically during the summertime we do not have a problem because people are
outside. However, there have been calls in the wintertime because it is closer to dinner time or bath time
for families with small children. There have been a few instances where it had not worked for the lifestyle
of the customer.
Mr. Talbot said that right now we reliably cut half of a megawatt of peak demand because we have the
three hundred wired up. Ms. Parenteau replied that is correct. Mr. Talbot stated that this data is not
theoretical and there is another two thousand or fifteen hundred or so water heaters that are not wired up,
so there is an opportunity to cut another two megawatts or so.
Mr. Stempeck said that he supports Mr. Talbot's idea but rather than try to identify who is using the
electricity because we could be wrong about a lot of things, is there a way to send a coupon along with
the bill that says if you have an electric water heater would you respond. Mr. Talbot stated that the RMLD
does that now. Ms. Parenteau said that when we go out for residential audits the vendor that we currently
use has a form and when speaking with the customer they indicate what they heat with, natural gas or oil
and if they have an electric water heater, so that we do have some data.
Mr. Talbot stated that the problem is that people do not sit down, read, react and fill out the form and tell
us. Mr. Talbot said that his understanding is that there are companies out there that can analyze load
profile from meters and tell you where the electric water heaters are. Mr. Stempeck asked what is it worth
to us to have them let us know in the scheme of things for the year. Ms. Parenteau replied that if we put
the other 300 in we could potentially save another 500 kilowatts. Mr. Stempeck asked in terms of dollars
what would the Department save. Mr. Stempeck asked if it would be worthwhile putting a five dollar bill in
the envelope with the survey and asking the customer to fill it out and send it back. This might be a lot
less expensive than using a survey firm and you will know exactly where you are going rather than some
electronic mechanism tallying spikes.
Mr. Talbot stated that there are a lot of ways that they can analyze the data and they can see who has
electric water heaters. We know how much the peak cutting is worth. Ms. O'Brien said that the first step
is that we need to finish putting in the ones that we have in inventory. Mr. O'Rourke asked what the
r consumer's cost is in return. Ms. Parenteau replied the RMLD gets an electrician to install the device so
that there is no cost to the consumer to get onto the rate. Mr. O'Rourke asked what the customer saves.
Ms. Parenteau replied that the customer saves approximately $100 -$120 per year by being on this rate
so it is advantageous.
There are some customers who do not have the internet so that became a problem but when we get the
new meters we will be able to offer the program to those customers without internet access.
Chairman O'Rourke said that maybe we should think about Mr. Stempeck's idea. Ms. Parenteau stated
that it is a great idea but administratively it is a lot of work to coordinate customer's availability, for them to
be there for an hour, schedule the electrician, get approval by the wire inspector and added that there are
a lot of little nuances. Ms. Parenteau said that we are happy to do it and have the program, it is a
fabulous idea but we need to make sure that we have the manpower and administrative support to help
with the scheduling. Mr. Stempeck asked what is the break -even analysis when considering that you pay
to have it installed, the cost of the meter, the monitoring and the solicitation. It is all kinds of money and if
it doesn't look like there is going to be a good payback. Ms. Parenteau replied that it will be significant
next year because of the capacity market in the NEMA zone. Capacity is going up from three dollars to
fifteen dollars per kw- month.
Mr. Talbot stated that we just voted a $2 million budget for the gas generator. Mr. Jaffari said that the
budgeted amount was $2.164 million. Mr. Talbot said that they just voted a $2.1 million capital cost to get
the ability to cut a two megawatt reliably, we already reliably cut half a megawatt with three hundred water
heaters wired, so if you wired twelve hundred you would have the same two megawatt guarantee peak
cut. Mr. Talbot stated that this will not cost $2.1 million to wire up one thousand water heaters with a
timer, it is going to be a lot less than that. Ms. Parenteau said that there are costs and it is a whole other
avenue that we can look at. We can install, service or rent electric water heaters there's a whole other
niche but it all takes manpower and resources.
Mr. Talbot stated that there are three hundred of these timers sitting in the Barbas building, so why don't
we hire a software company that can tell us which houses have the electric water heaters so we can go
out and do it.
Page 1 10
General Discussion
Mr. Talbot said that what we need is a better communications strategy with our customers because right
now we do not know which houses have them and the people are not surfacing and saying give me the
timer.
Mr. Jaffari stated that the new meters that the Department is installing, the Eaton system has that
capability and we will be able to know the load, what's going on and be able to perform more analysis of
this type. With the current Itron Metering we do not have that capability. Mr. Jaffari said that maybe if we
were to go aggressively and knock at every door and try to encourage more people to participate in the
program the people could opt out at any minute. With distributive generation we do not have to rely on
anyone and whether they are going to opt in or out, that's the big difference it is something that is within
our control.
Mr. Talbot asked how many people who have them now decide that they do not want to have them
anymore. Ms. Parenteau replied that there has been a handful. Mr. Talbot said that this suggests that
there is not a big number that fall out. Chairman O'Rourke stated that this is worth looking at and before
we jump too quickly, Mr. Stempeck has raised an interesting question how we could get information. Hire
a software company, put a five dollar bill in an envelope, put advertisements in the Chronicle, not every
idea is going to be feasible. Chairman O'Rourke asked that maybe at the July meeting or the following
depending on the Department's workload Ms. Parenteau could update the Board on how it is going so
that the topic does not fall off the table.
Mr. Stempeck wanted to commend the Department for putting in the RMLD online store, where light bulbs
are being sold below retail price. Ms. Parenteau stated they are being sold at 50% off. Ms. O'Brien said
that maybe the water heaters could go on the online store for free. Mr. Talbot commented that was a
good idea -- another marketing strategy.

to JCM who pays the bill and then bills back RMLD for the 66% portion. The bills sent to JCM are attached to show how

Payroll Question June 15, 2015
Categories: Blue Category
Good afternoon:
The following are questions on the Payroll:
1. Leader Lineworker — Please check overtime calculations they do not seem to compute.
2. Leader Lineworker — Overtime at 1 %2 times why different rates?
Overtime is calculated on a weekly basis using Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) for all employees in the CT and LMS
unions along with the Administrative Assistants in the 103 union. The items that are included in the calculation are
Stand By pay, longevity, shift, and boot /clothing allowances.
Stand by Pays:
Stand by A: is when a lineman is on call for a week that does not include a holiday. The employee receives 12 hours
of regular pay to be on call. The dollar total is divided by 40 hour week and added to the regular rate before overtime
is calculated.
Stand by B: is similar to A, but it is when a lineman is on call during a week that includes a holiday. The
employee receives 16 hours of regular pay to be on call. The dollar total is divided by 40 hour week and added to the
regular rate before overtime is calculated.
Stand by C: stand by C is the overnight on call for the trouble man shift. It is 75 cents per hour on regular days and $
1.25 on holidays. Total dollars is divided by 40 hours and added to regular rate.
You can only have 1 type of stand by pay for the week. If you have both, the highest one will be used.
Shift: Employees who normal shift is second and third shift during the weekday and all shifts during the weekend. This
pertains to the station operators and troublemen. It is $ 1.30 per hour worked. Weekly total from shift is divided by
40 and added to the regular rate.
Longevity- employees yearly longevity is divided by 2080 and added to the regular rate.
Boot /clothing - similar to longevity this amount is divided by 2080 and added to the regular rate. The four employees
vho receive this is Facility Techs and stockman.
BOTTOM LINE: The FLSA "Standby A" Overtime includes longevity, clothing, and boot
allowance. This is an "on call" standby rate, which is not to be confused with a regular
overtime rate. Therefore, the time and one half rates would be different.
If you have any questions, please call me.
