Report RMLD Board Member Attendance at RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Meeting April 27, 2016
Chairman O'Rourke.
Chairman O'Rourke said that he attended the April 27 CAB meeting which covered the review of the
Capital Budget. The main portion of the meeting was devoted to a presentation of the fiscal year 2017
Capital Budget. There was a review of 2016 expenses and budget by way of background. There was a
review of projects approved, those moving forward and projects put on hold. At the CAB meeting, there
was discussion on the rate increase that will be discussed this evening. Also discussed was RMLD's
Terms and Conditions that Mr. Pollart will be reporting on.
Report of the Committee — Audit Committee — Vice Chair Pacino
Vice Chair Pacino attended the Town of Reading Audit Committee meeting on May 5, 2016.
Report deferred to the next RMLD Board meeting in the absence of Vice Chair Pacino.
Review of RMLD's Fiscal Year 2017 Operating Budget (Attachment 1)
Mr. Fournier stated that the RMLD's Fiscal Year 2017 Operating Budget will be presented. Mr. Fournier
stated that The Six Year Plan shows Fiscal Year 2015 results and Fiscal Year 2016 eight months actual
with four months budget. The fiscal year 2017 Operating Budget is shown as well as financial
projections for the next four years. Mr. Fournier stated that the RMLD is allowed to make eight percent,
per the Department of Public Utilities with the RMLD anticipated to make 7% to 7.5% rate of return in
fiscal year 2017.
Mr. Fournier pointed out that the Base Revenue (Sale of Electricity) line demonstrates how much of an
increase is required for RMLD based on projection in order that RMLD make its rate of return. Ms.
Parenteau reported that the Base Revenue for this current fiscal year is $23 million. RMLD sales for year
to date compared to last year are down 1.8%. RMLD's forecast has projected flat sales compared to
what is projected for the current year. In order to achieve the projected revenue of $25,500,000 one of
two things need to occur: increase in sales which is weather dependent, (this has been historically
trending flat and down) or the only alternative to achieve the bottom line is to have a rate increase. Ms.
Parenteau, Ms. O'Brien and Mr. Jaffari met with the four towns Board of Selectmen over the last fiscal
year ending in December. In order for the respective towns to prepare for their budgets, the RMLD
provided them a preliminary rate increase of 7% to 9% based on RMLD's fiscal year 2015 Six Year
forecast. After reviewing the inputs and the numbers associated with the Fiscal Year 2017 budget, the
average increase comes in between 5% to 7%. Ms. Parenteau stated that we are within the range that
we informed the towns about. This includes all the maintenance programs and everything required in
order to achieve what the RMLD needs to function. The rate increase varies by class and usage. A
typical residential customer who uses 750 kilowatt hours will see an increase of approximately $4.81.
The schools increase is closer to 5%. The RMLD charges customers for what they use. The RMLD is
working on programs to help customers to use our product efficiently and to mitigate that increase if
they are able to. Mr. Stempeck pointed out that the RMLD rates are significantly lower than the
investor owned utilities. Ms. Parenteau explained that deregulation applies to investor owned utilities
where they procure power supply via a different paradigm because they go out for standard offers every
six months. Historically, the RMLD has been significantly less. Currently, the RMLD rates are 45% less
than National Grid and Eversource even with the 5% to 7% increase which is necessary. The RMLD has
extremely attractive rates. The RMLD tries to maintain competitive rates and reliable power. Ms.
O'Brien added to speak to Ms. Parenteau's point that this was also pointed out at the CAB meeting. Ms.
O'Brien explained that the RMLD will put out a press release together with a narrative that speaks to a
broad rate comparison. Ms. O'Brien said that with the nominal increases the RMLD remains one of the
lowest in the state.
Review of RMLD's Fiscal Year 2017 Operating Budget (Attachment 1)
Chairman O'Rourke questioned if there was an unexpected revenue increase that mitigated the 5% to
7% increase, would the RMLD have the opportunity to adjust the rates during the fiscal year? Ms.
Parenteau responded that it is very difficult to do because the RMLD needs the full fiscal year.
Many factors have to be considered such as if there is a hot summer and a long winter storms; with
consecutive outages impact the revenue. At the end of a full fiscal year the evaluation is performed.
The RMLD has a Deferred Fuel Cash Reserve which levelizes energy costs and returns it to the customer.
The RMLD is always checking to ensure that it is recovering the appropriate amount of revenue. Due to
the nature of RMLD's business, it would not be fiducially responsible to do a mid -year refund. Chairman
O'Rourke added you do not want it to be market pricing. Ms. Parenteau stated that is correct.
Mr. Fournier then addressed the Fiscal Year 2017 Operating Budget. Mr. Fournier stated that the total
expenses that have to be approved is $91,438,173. Of that amount $75,610,858, 83% represent fixed
costs. These costs include all of RMLD's power, depreciation expense, Town Payments and return on
investment to the Town of Reading. There is no wiggle room with the expenses. Some of the other
costs are semi variable. It may come at a price in which reliability or customer service will be forfeited
or other negative impacts. The biggest semi variable cost the RMLD has is labor that is $6,511,885
which takes into account the operating side not the capital side. The next big expense is Employee
Pension/Benefits which is $2,922,673 which represent the pension costs of $1.5 million OPEB costs, Sick
Leave Buyback and Insurances. The next category is Groups (All). Each department has unique
expenses to itself which represents $1,746,948. Mr. Fournier explained that for the Accounting
Department part of the $1.7 million represents their expense of $350,000 that includes postage and
town hall services $160,000. The Line Department's cost is $350,000 that includes underground crews,
streetlight and maintenance as well as line general expense. The Station Department $128,000 includes
vegetation control, testing and infrared scanning. On the Facilities Department $406,000 includes
building maintenance and contracts for pest control, mowing and HVAC repairs. Integrated Resources
Department conservation expenses are associated with RMLD's conservation programs. There is a rate
on RMLD's bill that generates revenues in order that RMLD can perform its conservation programs,
$871,574. Tree Trimming that includes three crews which also can be used in storms and emergencies is
$786,958 which pays back in huge dividends. If there are no major storms or anything catastrophic all
those funds may not be spent. Overtime Expense, $561,520; Property Insurance, $424,500 which
consists of insurance any organization would have in place. Professional Services, $418,100, consists
mainly of legal expenses, also includes consultants and audit expense. Office Supplies, $349,000, this
amount does not reflect solely for pens, paper and pencils. Based on FERC rules, other items are
expensed to this such as the credit card fees that are charged the RMLD. It is a sizeable amount, but
from a credit and collections standpoint instead of rolling out a truck the credit card mitigates that need
because full payment is secured. Customers also expect to have the option of paying with a credit card.
Vehicle expenses $260,267, represents repair and maintenance. Mr. Talbot asked what the credit card
rate that the RMLD pays. Is it dependent on what customers use? Mr. Fournier responded that
payments secured online the vendor RMLD utilized is Visa Utility Program. The RMLD pays around 2%
because the RMLD is a utility. It is also able to use this low rate for its credit card activity.
Rent Expense the RMLD rents space in the Barbas warehouse behind this building. Training/Tuition,
$232,175, is something that Ms. O'Brien has been pushing to ensure that all employees are properly
trained. Also included is tuition reimbursement for employees, which is a Board approved policy.
Mr. Fournier reported on the Transformer Expense, $300,000, in the event of a hazardous waste spill
incident. Bad Debt Expense $150,000, with RMLD's credit and collection process not much will not have
to be written off. Injuries and Damages $57,215, that is workers compensation and property damage.
RMLD and CAB Board expenses combined $22,500. Semi Variable Costs are $15,827,315 or 17.31% of
the Operating Budget, but most are necessary and kept as tight as possible. Chairman O'Rourke clarified
the $150,000 for Bad Debt is a provision for bad debt.
Review of RMLD's Fiscal Year 2017 Operating Budget (Attachment 1)
Mr. Fournier explained that is in the event a large commercial customer goes out of business. Chairman
O'Rourke asked what has happened over the last three years. Mr. Fournier responded that for the last
three years it has been under $75,000. With the economic bust, a few years before, there were a couple
of commercial customers that did not fare well with the low six figures written off.
Chairman O'Rourke questioned if a residential customer is behind on their billings for a couple of
months, do they get shut off? Mr. Fournier explained that the DPU treats commercial and residential
customers differently. The DPU is more stringent on the commercial side. After thirty days of
nonpayment, the RMLD can shut off such customers. On the residential side, it is three billing cycles
with nonpayment. Mr. Stempeck asked what is the comparison of RMLD's bad debt compared to other
municipals, as well as sales, general and administrative. Mr. Fournier said that he can go online to look
at other municipals financial statements to garner that information. Chairman O'Rourke asked if there is
a MEAM survey that captures that data. Ms. O'Brien added that every utilities' financials are public
information. Ms. O'Brien stated that APPA does operating ratios. Ms. O'Brien asked the Board to clarify
the information they wanted. The Board requested sales, reports on administrative, the total expense
ratio and bad debt.
Mr. Fournier then reported on the Staffing Summary for fiscal year 2017 with RMLD employees as of
March 2016. Mr. Fournier said that the RMLD is trying to fill vacancies that have been approved in
previous budgets. In fiscal year 2017, these positions are reflected. There will be eighty one employees
for this year's operating budget. Ms. O'Brien explained that the vacancies the RMLD is actively trying to
recruit, there is a number of them, but in a utility, the positions have unique skill sets. Based on the fact
we are now developing succession planning, there are specific skill sets with specific types of experience
to hit the ground running. Ms. O'Brien said that what Mr. Fournier is stating is that we are actively
recruiting and interviewing. Chairman O'Rourke clarified that for fiscal year 2017 is at eighty one
employees, but the total is eighty three. Ms. O'Brien explained that currently there are Linemen
vacancies. As part of the organizational study, Ms. O'Brien is evaluating the RMLD's organizational
needs. She put in for two replacements, but wanted a place holder to demonstrate four. The level of
skill sets are being evaluated. At the same time, the RMLD was utilizing underground contractors which
are no longer under contract. The RMLD linemen are being trained on underground in order that they
will be encompassed as a journeymen. As this transition is being undertaken, it is hard to resolve a
moving target until the training is completed. Chairman O'Rourke asked previously there were nine
vacancies, but now it is eleven. Ms. O'Brien explained that there are two positions that are placeholders
not in the budget. Chairman O'Rourke commented that if you map the Organizational Study, they called
for certain resources. Does the budget reflect this? Ms. O'Brien responded that it is about spot on.
Chairman O'Rourke polled the Board for any further questions on the Fiscal Year 2017 Operating
Budget. Ms. O'Brien thanked Mr. Fournier stating that this is Mr. Fournier's last Operating Budget
presentation due to his retirement. Ms. O'Brien thanked Mr. Fournier for his service and stated that he
has been helpful with the change. Ms. O'Brien explained that Mr. Fournier has been training Ms.
Markiewicz who will be his replacement. Ms. O'Brien wanted to express her gratitude to Mr. Fournier
for his assistance during this transition. Mr. Fournier pointed out that today is his twenty seventh
anniversary at the RMLD. Chairman O'Rourke thanked Mr. Fournier for his support at the Board
meetings. Mr. Fournier thanked Chairman O'Rourke. Mr. Fournier stated that you could not find a
better employer than the RMLD and he is grateful.
Chairman O'Rourke stated that the vote for the Fiscal Year 2017 Operating Budget would be taken at
the next RMLD Board meeting with the Fiscal Year 2017 Capital Budget.
Report of the General Manager — Ms. O'Brien (Attachment 2)
Ms. O'Brien introduced Chris Pollart, from Rubin and Rudman, LLP. Ms. O'Brien reported that Mr.
Pollart has assisted in the policy review for all thirty one RMLD policies.
Report of the General Manager — Ms. O'Brien (Attachment 2)
Revised Terms and Conditions
The Terms and Conditions are filed with rates at the DPU. Mr. Pollart has revised the Terms and
Conditions up to the legal requirement. The Terms and Conditions will be filed to be effective July 1,
2016 along with RMLD's rates. In addition to the Terms and Conditions, a Service Requirements
Handbook is being written which is a comprehensive handbook that contains all the operating
requirements.
Ms. O'Brien pointed out that Ms. Parenteau's group has been working on this. The Board will be
receiving this at the next non budget meeting. Chairman O'Rourke commented that the Service
Requirements Handbook is a great tool, but his concern is who will be responsible for the updates. Ms.
O'Brien said that the updates will come out of Integrated Resources that is the group that ties everyone
together. Ms. O'Brien said that the Service Requirements Handbook will not change that often.
Schedule of fees are in there and could change annually based on prevailing wages. Ms. O'Brien said
that it is with due diligence that this would be kept up to date and be posted on RMLD's website. It is a
means of keeping internal and external processes consistent.
Mr. Pollart stated that the General Terms and Conditions is a very important document for a utility
because it has the force of rules and regulations once implemented. Mr. Pollart said that Ms. O'Brien
asked him to go through the Terms and Conditions.
Mr. Pollart said that the Terms and Conditions needed to be restructured and reformatted to meet
current legal and regulatory requirements. Mr. Pollart reported that some of the revisions included in
the Terms and Conditions, the Fee Schedule was taken out and will be put in the Appendix in a different
document. Fees change and the Board would have to vote on all the fees and then the RMLD would be
required to file with the DPU. The net metering provisions were eliminated because there are separate
net metering conditions. Mr. Pollart said that language was put in to reflect that the changes take effect
when filed not when service is connected. Once the Terms and Conditions are filed with the DPU they
take effect.
Mr. Pollart added that the RMLD has an express prohibition against allowing customers to purchase
power from third party providers in order to protect the exclusive service franchise territory that RMLD
has.
Mr. Pollart said that there were added provisions for service border customers. This is more important
for RMLD than other municipals because RMLD serves number of towns. Security deposit language that
allows RMLD to condition service on obtaining a security deposit to protect RMLD's finances has been
updated. Residential customers can be charged a deposit up to three months, the highest three months
in a particular year. Security deposits for commercial customers is not regulated by the DPU and
followed similar provisions which state a condition service on obtaining a security deposit similar to the
residential customer.
Mr. Hennessy asked if RMLD currently does this. Ms. O'Brien said that currently it is not consistent that
is why the Terms and Conditions are being revised. Obtaining the deposits ties back into the bad debt,
before a customer comes into sign up for service there are processes that are done before a physical
connection is made.
Mr. Pollart stated that more comprehensive provisions have been added when RMLD is required to
initiate service. RMLD does not have to provide service until it receives the rights in order to provide
service. This would have to do with private property rights and RMLD needs to cross the property by
obtaining easements. Mr. Stempeck clarified that the easement has to be put in place with a contract to
make this permanent.
Report of the General Manager — Ms. O'Brien (Attachment 2)
Revised Terms and Conditions
Mr. Pollart explained that it is a real estate interest and is recorded at the Registry of Deeds, it is a utility
easement which gives the RMLD the permanent rights to have its poles and wires on the property.
Language has been added in order that RMLD has the specific right to utilize Cromwell Waivers. Mr.
Pollart stated that a Cromwell Waiver allows the RMLD to add a customer's overdue bills to a new
account. An example of this is if a customer has service at one location in Reading with an overdue
account on it then moves to new location in Reading the overdue monies can be transferred to the new
account, a payment plan and terminate them for nonpayment.
Chairman O'Rourke asked on the commercial side a company buys out the initial company with debt
does this apply. Mr. Pollart responded that the Cromwell wavier is utilized on the residential side. Mr.
Stempeck inquired on the residential side, the Cromwell Waiver would also apply to residential
customers moving within towns in RMLD's service territory, Reading to Lynnfield. Mr. Pollart replied
that is correct.
Mr. Pollart said that a new section was added to address new customer service issues, in which the
location is run down and not safe to provide service, electric users must upgrade service such as a
customer maintaining safe wire and equipment. If the RMLD is providing service to a location that
becomes run down or dilapidated it is not safe to provide service. The RMLD would have the right to
require the electric user to upgrade their service or terminate service if it presents a safety issue. Mr.
Stempeck asked how would that be determined if you are looking from the outside in. Ms. O'Brien said
that there are a number of components on the outside of the house that the customer owns such as the
service entrance cable and the weatherhead and the meter box itself. For example, there can be
excessive rusting of the meter box preventing the jaws from making a firm connecting. RMLD is making
a YouTube video on who owns what with an electrician with adherence to the National Safety Code and
the National Electric Code. In this educational training video, it would reiterate similar to HVAC
maintenance, how is your grounding and neutral connection because this can cause the homeowner
problems. Ms. O'Brien wants to ensure that customers understand what their areas of responsibility are
as well as RMLD's. If there is an issue where a service is unsafe, the Terms and Conditions will allow
RMLD to disconnect without the Wire Inspector. It is all about safety.
Mr. Pollart stated that the RMLD has added a specific provision that RMLD is not required to provide a
service it does not provide. RMLD could discuss the customer's needs if this were to happen, but there
would be no legal obligation for the RMLD to provide the service. Mr. Hennessy asked for an example.
Mr. Pollart explained that if a customer decided to go off the grid entirely, but wants a backup and
standby rate, if you do not have one you do not have a legal obligation to provide it.
Mr. Pollart stated that added in the Terms and Conditions was an expressed obligation for the
customers to provide space for RMLD equipment. An example of this would be if the RMLD needs space
for meter and equipment to run the service to the home or business.
Chairman O'Rourke asked if there is a process to maintain the Terms and Conditions staying current is
there a review process. Ms. O'Brien responded that in revising the thirty one policies up to date to meet
the legal requirements they have review dates of three years.
Ms. O'Brien said that she is rolling the Terms and Conditions every three years into that unless the DPU
comes up with something that would change RMLD's Terms and Conditions. Ms. O'Brien explained that
RMLD's Terms and Conditions get filed with the rates.
Mr. Kelley asked how the Terms and Conditions affect existing customers. Ms. O'Brien said the Terms
and Conditions will put on the website with a synopsis and the In Brief. Ms. O'Brien said that the Terms
and Conditions are integral to the Service Requirements Handbook and will be in the appendix.
Chairman O'Rourke thanked Mr. Pollart for being a resource for the Board on legal side as well as his
work on the policies. Mr. Pollart thanked Chairman O'Rourke.
Northeast Public Power Association (NEPPA) Annual Conference
This will take place on August 21-24, 2016, Crowne Plaza Resort, Lake Placid, NY
Ms. O'Brien said that she would like to attend the NEPPA Annual Conference in Lake Placid, NY and is
inviting the commission members as well.
Mr. Hennessy made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that the Board approve Ms. O'Brien's
attendance at the 2016 NEPPA Annual Conference.
Motion carried 4:0:0.
Power Supply Report — Ms. Parenteau (Attachment 3)
Ms. Parenteau reported that as she had mentioned the overall rate increase depending on the class of
customer is projected to increase 5% to 7%. The rate increase is associated with the Operating Budget.
Ms. Parenteau said that her recommendation to the Board is that they vote the rate increase in
conjunction with the approval of the Operating and Capital Budgets. Mr. Lydecker asked if the RMLD
can control customer's air conditioning remotely. Mr. Talbot said no. The RMLD would need to build a
smart grid communications system to accommodate that.
Proposed Rate Adjustment
No vote taken, vote to be taken up at the next RMLD Board meeting.
RMLD Procurement Requests Requiring Board Approval (Attachment 4)
IFB 2016-28 Repair of 15kV McGraw Edison Switchgear at Substation 5
Ms. O'Brien reported that Mr. Jaffari was not feeling well, therefore is not at the meeting, she will cover
the bids.
Ms. O'Brien explained that the repair of 15kV McGraw Edison Switchgear at Substation 5 is being
performed in order to get more life out of the existing switchgear. The insulation has to be removed and
this is a repair to extend the life of the current switchgear.
Mr. Talbot asked how many bidders there were. Ms. O'Brien responded that Schneider was the only
bidder although the bid was mailed out to seven vendors. Mr. Talbot asked if it makes sense that there
was one bidder. Ms. O'Brien replied that it makes sense because the equipment is old, not all vendors
can or want to make repairs. Ms. O'Brien stated that she will call the vendors solicited and provide the
Board with the information as to why the vendors who received the bid chose not to bid.
Mr. Hennessy made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that bid 2016-28 for Repair of 15kV McGraw
Edison Switchgear at Substation 5 be awarded to Schneider Electric as the lowest responsible and
eligible bidder on the recommendation of the General Manager for at total cost of $28,342.78.
Motion carried 4:0:0.
IFB 2016-29 HVAC Improvements Phase II
Ms. O'Brien explained that this is for the second phase of the HVAC project that has been in the Capital
Budget. This project was performed in two phases because the town is looking at economic
development, the thought process is what is put in RMLD's building can be taken out and reused. The
bid will be awarded to N.B. Kenney Company for a total of $571,000 which include the electrical sub -bid
amount of $98,220.
RMLD Procurement Requests Requiring Board Approval (Attachment 4)
IFB 2016-29 HVAC Improvements Phase II
Chairman O'Rourke asked what this project is for. Ms. O'Brien responded that the RMLD is replacing the
entire HVAC system, the chillers, air handlers and controls which have come to the end of their useful
life. Half being done this year and half next year. The total project was $1.2 million.
Mr. Talbot said that he would like to understand this better. It is $500,000 to refurbish the system in
this building. Ms. O'Brien commented that the air handling units and chillers are left to be completed.
Ms. O'Brien said that the compressors, duct and vent work have been completed. At this point in time
no definitive decision has been made by the town for economic development.
Mr. Talbot said that he would like a presentation. Mr. Stempeck pointed out that he is comfortable with
the bid because this was addressed in last year's Capital Budget and there were five bids received with
pricing that were close with the highest at $676,000
Mr. Kelley explained that for one unit you are looking at a cost of $250,000 that has the air handlers and
chilled water. The interconnection set up and engineering system create extra cost. The cost of the
equipment HVAC adds up quickly. In Wilmington, they recently installed a chiller on the public safety
building that cost $200,000. Mr. Kelley pointed out that you can pay $50,000 for a compressor then find
out the whole unit needs to be replaced in a couple of years. It is more cost efficient to replace the
whole unit. Ms. O'Brien said that the engineering for the HVAC project was performed over three years
ago. Ms. O'Brien said that McRitchie performed the engineering. Mr. Talbot added that his concern
was if there were a larger plan if something were to happen in the next five years. Ms. O'Brien
explained that there has to be a working environment and before she came to work here the system
had been already failing for quite a while.
Ms. O'Brien explained that the project began in fiscal year 2015 with the professional services including
study/report phase, construction documents and bid/construction. Fiscal year 2016 replace the hot
water boiler plant with condensing boilers. Replace DDC Control System. Replace VAV terminal box
controllers. Replace Air Handler Unit 3 as an indoor unit with split system DX condensing unit on the
roof. Fiscal year 2017 replace Air Handler Unit 1 and Air Handler Unit 2 as an indoor unit with split
system DX condensing units on the roof. Fiscal year 2018, Enhance fin -tube radiation for higher output
and to compensate for lower hot water temperatures. Enhance heating of the front lobby. Reconfigure
ductwork serving the receiving area roll -up dock which has been brought into fiscal year 2017 reflecting
two phases not three.
Mr. Kelley said that the system VAV boxes control the room. Air handlers can serve in multiple areas; it
puts air through the ducts and it fits the temperature for the room it is going to cool or warm up. The
HVAC has a repeat that can warm an individual room up. One room can be made cooler whereas
another can be made warmer. Looking at the technology, you are changing out all of the controllers and
blocks the costs add up quickly. The technology and communication creates energy efficiency, which
gives you value on the other side. Ms. O'Brien said that Ms. Parenteau's group worked on the energy
efficiency cost savings. Ms. O'Brien said that many employees were using space heater of which their
elimination will save energy. Mr. Kelley noted that space heaters can be a safety risk and cause the
system to cool down. Ms. O'Brien asked Mr. Talbot if his concerns are if there is a need for the HVAC
system or is the RMLD getting charged too much money for it. Mr. Talbot said that his concern is the
rezoning leading to a redevelopment of the building. Ms. O'Brien pointed out she is patching the roof.
She is being conscientious looking at what needs to be repaired, what can have its life extended. With
the assistance of the new Facilities Manager they are being conscientious of money spending for items
the RMLD can take. Ms. O'Brien said that she saw conceptuals of this building and it is different when
shown at the economic development forums. She is trying to be prepared.
Chairman O'Rourke said that going forward we can set guidelines what on equipment is deferred and
reusable equipment. Perhaps at a future meeting we can look at the potential economic development
impacts on the RMLD.
Mr. Hennessy made a motion seconded by Mr. Stempeck that bid 2016-29 for HVAC Improvements
Phase II be awarded to N.B. Kenney Company, Inc. for a total of $571,000, which includes the electrical
sub -bid amount of $98,220 as the lowest responsible and eligible bidder on the recommendation of the
General Manager.
Motion carried 4:0:0.
General Discussion
Ms. O'Brien reported that the first week in October is National Public Power Safety Week. Ms. O'Brien
said that the theme will be to "Shave the Peak." Mr. Talbot added that if the RMLD can cut two
megawatts on a peak day that paid for the HVAC system. Mr. Talbot encouraged residential customers
for the Time of Use Rate, it is a cost savings and helps mitigate the peak.
