Raj Singh, from NDDI Plan will be performing a small-scale study to look at one slice of RMLD's service territory, to provide internet service, a gigabit to businesses, to help aid and attract business and achieve load growth, to determine what the cost would be. Fiber Optic Committee — Commissioner Talbot Chairman O'Rourke asked what is the next action step. Mr. Talbot responded that the RMLD would look at the data to determine what the opportunity would be. Chairman O'Rourke pointed out at the last meeting there was concern relative to the proposal detail, which has that been rectified. Mr. Talbot said that he believes it has been resolved. Mr. Talbot added that Wellesley Municipal Light Plant is considering providing high speed internet to its business district customers as well despite the presence of both Comcast and Verizon Fios in the market. Mr. Pacino said that the recommendations found in the proposal should go back to the full Board because the committee has set the parameters. Mr. Pacino stated that the Fiber Optic Committee as of this meeting is no longer needed. Report RMLD Board Member Attendance at RMLD Citizens' Advisory Board Meeting There was no Board representation at the CAB meeting on August 14, 2016. Chairman O'Rourke asked CAB Vice Chair, Dave Nelson if he could provide an update in the absence of commission attendance at this meeting. Mr. Nelson reported that Ms. O'Brien attended the meeting and provided a very well presented update, it was a good meeting. Approval of Board Minutes May 26, 2016, June 30, 2016, July 28, 2016 Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Hennessy to approve the meeting minutes of May 26, 2016, June 30, 2016, July 28, 2016 minutes, as presented. Motion carried 4:0:0. General Manager's Report — Ms. O'Brien Ms. O'Brien reported that RMLD hosted an electric vehicle showcase during National Drive Electric Week on Saturday September 17, 2016 from 10-2. Plug in vehicles from local dealers were available to test drive. Ms. Parenteau stated that this was a successful event with eight electric vehicles represented. Five RMLD customers brought in their electric vehicles. There were fifty attendees and twenty test drives occurred. Ms. Parenteau reported that National Drive Electric Week runs from September 10-17. RMLD was one of five test sites in Massachusetts to host this event. Chairman O'Rourke asked if RMLD has any public charging stations in Reading. Ms. Parenteau responded, no. However, the RMLD does have an electric vehicle charging rebate offered to commercial and residential customers. In the capital budget, there are charging stations for each of the four towns over the next four years. Chairman O'Rourke asked about the locations for the charging stations. Ms. Parenteau said that most charging stations are located where people would be staying for a bit of time such as shopping malls and restaurants. Ms. Parenteau said that a survey was taken at the Electrical Vehicle Showcase relative to potential electric vehicle ownership and will provide this to the Board. Currently, there are three commercial locations that host charging stations. The charging station RMLD owns is at Analog Devices who is the host business and has a rate assessed. The other host businesses are at Teradyne and Osram. Currently, RMLD is working with another potential customer interested in a charging station. Mr. Talbot asked what the charging rate is? Ms. Parenteau replied it is 20 cents per kilowatt hour, the purchased power costs need to be recouped. Ms. O'Brien said that next week is National Public Power Week throughout the nation, it is a celebration of public owned utilities. The RMLD is having its Open House on Thursday, October 6 from 2-5 pm and this information can be found on RMLD's website at www.rmld.com. This has been successful over the past couple of years. Page 1 2 General Manager's Report — Ms. O'Brien Ms. O'Brien reported that she will be scheduling meetings with the Town Managers/Administrators which historically she has set late fall and in the spring. Ms. O'Brien will be providing updates to the Town Managers/Administrators on what is going on, any preview of what is going on with the rates and in the spring, it will be the evaluation of the Cost of Service. This way rates can be segued into the towns' respective budgets as well as address any issues they have going on. This has been successful over the past three years. Ms. Foti is scheduling the meetings. Ms. O'Brien said that Mr. Talbot has asked to come to the Reading meeting to discuss solar. Ms. O'Brien asked the commission members if they had any topics they want brought forward to let her know. With Reading Town Meeting, there will be the Annual Report which will be online, paperless as started last year. The theme will be peak reduction targeting children, as recycling started in schools and take that same strategy for peak reduction, with the motto "Shred the Peak'. Ms. O'Brien added that every year there may be a new motto, but RMLD is continuing the go green, go paperless, be efficient, is a way of saving money, if you are not on paperless billing customers should consider it. The more electronic RMLD is it translates into more efficiency. Ms. Parenteau pointed out that there was an internal campaign from June 1 to September 1 with a goal of 1,000 customers on paperless billing, but achieved 2,500, which made this very successful. There was a drawing with the winner receiving a mini IPad. Mr. Pacino asked where is the RMLD in terms of the Twenty Year Agreement. Ms. Foti will check into this. Chairman O'Rourke introduced Tracy Schultz, RMLD Executive Assistant and welcomed her to the RMLD and Board. Ms. Schultz thanked Chairman O'Rourke. Power Supply Report — June and July 2016 — Ms. Parenteau (Attachment 1) Ms. Parenteau presented the June and July report included in the Commissioner packet. Residential kilowatt hour sales for fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016 are as of June 30, which represent preliminary numbers on the residential side there was a 2.8% decrease in sales compared to fiscal year 2015 which is flat compared to fiscal year 2014. Industrial and commercial sales there is a 2.4% decrease from 2015 to 2016 kilowatt sales, municipal kilowatt hour sales there was 5.8% decrease. This went from 402 million kilowatt hours to 393 million kilowatt hours which is an approximate 9 million kilowatt hour drop as of June 30, preliminary numbers. Mr. Hennessy clarified if this represents the full fiscal year, Ms. Parenteau concurred. Ms. Parenteau stated that when you pull all the classes together this represents a 2.65% decrease in kilowatt hour sales. This is typical for what RMLD has been showing because over the last ten years' sales have gone downward. Ms. Parenteau noted that the for the new fiscal year (2017), historical July peaks from 2012 to 2016 were looked at. There was a high of 168 in 2013, it has been flat and levelized; lower this year compared to last year. The peak for this July was about 155. Mr. Talbot asked what the temperatures were for those days. Ms. Parenteau stated that she will show how cooling degree days' tie into the weather. Ms. Parenteau explained that cooling degree days is how much customers will be using their air conditioning for load. In 2013 to 2014, there was a significant drop in cooling degrees and a significant reduction in the peak. In 2015, there was another drop-in peak. In 2016, there was an increase in cooling degree days, but it was a very hot month with the peak demand going down. Overall kilowatt sales for the month of July where cooling degree days go up from 2015 to 2016 with kilowatt hour sales increasing as well. Mr. Talbot asked what is the result of the communications efforts in reducing the peak. Ms. Parenteau responded that the data is being analyzed with recent shave the peak campaign. RMLD's peak took place on Friday, August 12 at 4:00 pm which is coincident with the ISO New England's peak. The RMLD had a peak demand of 163 megawatts. It was 155 megawatts. Over the course of the summer there were eight alerts issued, six in July, with two in August. The data is being analyzed and will have preliminary information next week. There was a significant reduction of load on August 12 with the peak occurring anytime between 3-6 pm which is related to temperature and weather. On July 18, the RMLD peaked at 3 pm, then a rainstorm came in reducing the peak significantly, 3.8 megawatts based on that weather. Ms. Parenteau has looked at the alert days, peak hour and what the drop was after the peak. Page 1 3 Power Supply Report — June and July 2016 — Ms. Parenteau (Attachment 1) It was trending very low, .5-3 megawatt decrease, if you look at the peak hour and the hour following the peak. On August 12, at 4 pm to 5 pm there was an eight megawatt drop which is significant which did not occur on any of the other alert days. It is a positive sign that within an hour the peak dropped significantly even with the weather being ninety degrees. Mr. Talbot asked if the RMLD saw a drop in the demand based on the push to decrease the load. Ms. Parenteau replied that the RMLD is analyzing that. RMLD customers were e-mailed and RMLD did tweets. Chairman O'Rourke asked Ms. Parenteau to explain how this works. Ms. Parenteau said that for the RMLD on the wholesale power supply for capacity and transmission costs are directly tied to the hour that the ISO New England peaks. For a summer month that one hour denotes the amount of capacity the RMLD is required to cover for the following twelve months beginning June 1 to May 30. If the RMLD can reduce that amount with customer support, solar, distributed generation and all RMLD programs that is where RMLD's power supply cost as a pass through to its customers will result in maintaining lower rates for our customers. RMLD is required to carry a certain amount of capacity plus reserve based on that amount RMLD used for one hour. Mr. Talbot asked what is the cost for reducing one megawatt at the peak. Ms. Parenteau responded for this year each megawatt represents approximately $200,000. Chairman O'Rourke asked Ms. Parenteau to explain cooling degree days. Ms. Parenteau said that in the winter it is heating degree days and in the summer, it is cooling degree days. It is a calculation that looks at the average temperature for the day. It takes the high temperature and the low temperature and averages that out subtracting that from sixty-five degrees which is the standard. Weather impacts sales and demand on the system. In the summer by seeing how many cooling degree days you have in a month it demonstrates how warm the weather has been, in the winter there are heating degree days. Ms. Parenteau stated that this was not in the packet, but wanted to inform RMLD's customers about Solar Choice. RMLD has negotiated a contract for a one megawatt solar array located at Ballardvale Street, Wilmington. This project has a community solar project classification which means the SRECs value is greater. The RMLD is creating a new rate called Solar Choice which is taking the place of Green Choice which is open to five hundred customers. This new rate is structured that for the first twelve months, customers on average will pay $5 monthly. In month thirteen, the RMLD will look back and determine how much value that solar array was on during the peak hour. The customers on that array will receive the capacity benefit and allocated to those customers only. On months thirteen to the end of the term, it is estimated that customers may see a credit on their bill between $3-$4. Over the ten-year period, a customer will receive an estimate of $300 savings. The breakeven is in the third year. Ms. Parenteau stated that customers can call RMLD or go on RMLD's website. Ms. Parenteau stated that the Solar Choice rate will be brought to the CAB then the Board at its next meeting. Chairman O'Rourke said that it is a great program. Mr. Talbot added that he has signed up for the program. Mr. Talbot asked how many other communities are doing community solar. Ms. Parenteau replied that RMLD is one of the first and the only other municipal she is aware of is Holyoke. Engineering and Operations Report —June and July 2016 — Mr. Jaffari (Attachment 2) Mr. Jaffari presented the July report included in the Commissioner packet covering the monthly capital improvement projects, routine construction, routine maintenance, double poles, NJUNS and an update on the reliability reporting. Mr. Jaffari reported that on the capital improvement and routine construction projects spending in July was $132,977 bringing the year to date spending to $324,827. RMLD has initiated seven preventative maintenance programs to maintain its assets and improve the operating conditions. These programs are: Transformer Replacement: 19.95 of aged padmount transformers and 14.05 % of aged overhead transformers have been replaced, Pole Inspection: 180 poles replaced, 102 transfers of 180 have been completed, Visual Inspection of Overhead Lines: 24 circuits inspected to identify potential problems or failures, no problems found, Manhole Inspection: 614 manholes have been inspected since inception, Porcelain Cutout Replacements: 91% system wide have been replaced with 256 need replacement, Tree Trimming: 66 spans year in July trimmed and Substation Maintenance: this is a monthly maintenance program for substations and industrial parks with no hot spots found. Page 1 4 Engineering and Operations Report — June and July 2016 — Mr. Jaffari (Attachment 2) Mr. Jaffari reported that there are approximately 16,000 poles in all four communities, 50% owned by RMLD and 50% by Verizon. The custodial (who maintains the poles) poles in Reading is split between RMLD and Verizon, North Reading is RMLD's custodial, and Lynnfield and Wilmington are Verizon's custodial areas. Refer to the NJUNs report for a more detailed break out of poles: transfers, set, removal and guy installation. Ms. O'Brien explained that the NJUNs program it is ball and court so whoever's custodial area puts in the pole with each party that has attachment rights is notified. Ms. O'Brien stated that with the GIS data collection they are hoping to mesh the two, therefore not sure if all the poles have been collected with double poles over five years old. Ms. O'Brien has asked internally for any double poles over five years outside of the inspection program. She will bring the double pole information to the meetings with the respective Town Managers/Administrators to point out where fire department needs to transfer if it is ball and court. Also, she will write Verizon and Comcast a letter if it is ball and court, if there is no result get in touch with the Board of Selectmen. Electric is the first to transfer and RMLD must wait. Mr. Jaffari added that NUNS was populated by Verizon and Comcast. Ms. O'Brien will provide an update on the aging. Chairman O'Rourke asked what is the approach and philosophy. Ms. O'Brien replied that when the second pole is put in place it is due to age, at the end of its useful life, or due to an inspection or a vehicle hit. Ms. O'Brien pointed out that some of the double poles are stuck on transfers. Mr. Jaffari reported that the reliability indices for SAIDI, CAIDI and SAIFI reflect a five-year timeline. SAIDI is a little over the regional average, but under the national average, whereas CAIDI is under both the regional and national average. SAIFI was under both the regional average, but over the national average. Mr. Jaffari explained that the overages were caused due to the number of storms with back to back storms in January 2016, large limbs came down on main feeders. Frequency and the restoration time affects these factors. There have been more storms this year than RMLD has seen in the past. The outage causes were 24% equipment, 36% trees and 28% wildlife. Chairman O'Rourke asked since the reliability study recommendations have been made with ongoing improvements where does RMLD stand. Mr. Jaffari replied that RMLD has initiated ten maintenance programs, but there is much more work to be completed. Mr. Jaffari reported that there are issues at the substations due to the lack of maintenance for ten years, this is also the case in the distribution system as well. Station 4, there are upgrades of the breakers and relays, Station 3 the relays are being updated as well as the LTC transformer and Substation 5 is older with updates to keep it running. RMLD is looking at building a new substation in Wilmington which will add reliability and capacity. Chairman O'Rourke suggested that prior to the budget to revisit the scope of the reliability recommendations and how much must be expended financially outside of the reliability recommendations to assist in budgeting for the next fiscal year's budget RMLD Procurement Requests Requiring Board Approval (Attachment 3) IFP 2017-12 Battery Bank Mr. Jaffari reported that the battery bank is for Station 4 that supplies power to the relays for protection scheme which are at the end of their useful life. Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Hennessy that proposal 2017-12 for Battery Bank at Substation 4 be awarded to WESCO as the most advantageous and responsive proposer on the recommendation of the General Manager for a total cost of $24,000.00. Motion carried 4:0:0. IFP 2017-14 Service Cable 1/0 Mr. Jaffari explained that this is part of the secondary service and upgrade. The neutrals, services and connectors need to be addressed this is an additional maintenance program the RMLD has had to implement. Chairman O'Rourke asked how many bids were received. Mr. Jaffari reported that five bids were received with Graybar and WESCO tied with their pricing. Graybar and WESCO were given the opportunity to rebid. WESCO was selected because Graybar wanted to maintain its pricing on the rebid for three years which was not in the best interest of the RMLD due to fluctuations in pricing of service cable. Page 1 5 RMLD Procurement Requests Requiring Board Approval (Attachment 3) IFP 2017-14 Service Cable 1/0 Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Hennessy that proposal 2017-14 for 1/0 Triplex Service Cable be awarded to WESCO as the most advantageous and responsive proposer on the recommendation of the General Manager. The term of the contract is for one (1) year with an option for additional second or third year at the sole discretion of the Reading Municipal Light Department for a total cost of $507,600.00. Motion carried 4:0:0. IFB 2017-17 Sports Utility Vehicle with Trade -In Mr. Jaffari reported that three bidders responded. Chairman O'Rourke asked if this vehicle is for the fleet. Mr. Jaffari responded, yes. Mr. Pacino asked if the older RMLD vehicle will be a trade in. Mr. Jaffari concurred. Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Hennessy that bid 2017-17 for one Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), with Trade - In, of 2005 Toyota Prius be awarded to Stoneham Motor Co. for $22,606.00 as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on the recommendation of the General Manager. Motion carried 4:0:0. IFP 2017-18 Sicame Connectors Mr. Jaffari stated that Sicame connectors are part of the connection replacement at the end of the home and the pole Mr. Pacino made a motion seconded by Mr. Hennessy that proposal 2017-18 for Sicame Insulation Piercing Connectors be awarded to WESCO as the most advantageous and responsive proposer on the recommendation of the General Manager. The term of the contract is for one (1) year with an option for additional second or third year at the sole discretion of the Reading Municipal Light Department for a total cost of $306,000.00. Motion carried 4:0:0. Chairman O'Rourke and Mr. Talbot thanked Mr. Jaffari for his efforts for the system issues that have not been addressed in ten years. Mr. Jaffari added that the reliability report in tandem with the newly instituted maintenance programs enables the RMLD to achieve progress. Financial Update — Ms. Markiewicz Ms. Markiewicz explained that this evening the financial presentation of fiscal year 2016 was to take place, but due to the deferred pension liability calculation and the timing of the actuarial to review this, this had to be postponed until October 20. Ms. Markiewicz reported that the audit itself took place the week of August 8. Ms. Markiewicz pointed out that Melanson Heath was impressed at how quickly the RMLD responded to their questions. There were no major findings, just incidental items and no management letter. Melanson Heath will make their report at the next Board meeting. After, fiscal year 2016 is presented, then the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 will be presented. Ms. O'Brien pointed out that the RMLD is now performing its actuarial with the Town of Reading. RMLD as well as the town are waiting on that data. Chairman O'Rourke asked is there anything that the Board should be made aware of. Ms. Markiewicz replied no, the findings are consistent with what we have been reporting monthly. General Discussion Mr. Talbot reported that the NEPPA Conference was held last month. Mr. Talbot suggested that the Board may want to respond to the content provided by one of the speakers who denied climate science regarding the human role in causing emissions that are leading to global warming, and the severity of the likely consequences. Chairman O'Rourke asked Mr. Pacino if he had any input. Mr. Pacino said that Mr. Talbot summarized it. Mr. Talbot stated that on the positive side, he was facilitating a battery storage discussion that centered mostly on a project being performed by Sterling Municipal Light Department, this is a cutting-edge project which has not been built yet, it is something to watch. Like RMLD's gas generator, the RMLD can look at battery storage with the fast -improving economics for energy storage. Mr. Hennessy asked if Sterling's storage is about peak shaving. Mr. Talbot responded, yes, and balancing solar production. Mr. Talbot said that Concord Municipal Light Plant noted that it is close to having a problem at times because they have a solar array that provides 100% of the load for a circuit on some sunny days when there is lower demand, they are looking at battery storage as well. Page 1 6 General Discussion Chairman O'Rourke asked Ms. O'Brien explain NEPPA. Ms. O'Brien explained that Northeast Public Power Association is a collaborative effort of the municipal utilities in the New England states and parts of New York which share efforts in such areas as legislative and training. Chairman O'Rourke stated that Ms. O'Brien and her staff attending the NEPPA Conference is a positive experience. Mr. Pacino said that at the NEPPA Conference he enjoys the networking to see what others in the industry are doing. At the conference, Mr. Pacino spoke to Middleborough Gas and Electric Department on their gas generator to get their perspective. Mr. Talbot asked how much training does the RMLD do with NEPPA. Ms. O'Brien responded that RMLD has a lineworker and technician apprentice program to certify employees. Ms. O'Brien said that RMLD augments with NEPPA. They run the theoretical portion for the linemen which comes out of Northwest Lineman's College, substation and metering as well as operations trainings. RMLD works with ECNE for engineering training. In addition, there is annual retraining with NEPPA such as pole top rescue, confined space entry, CPR, first aid. APPA Safety Manual is RMLD's adopted safety manual. Mr. Nelson stated that RMLD's audit had no management findings. The audit showed that RMLD is financially doing a great job with ratepayer's money, congratulations to the RMLD. Also, the maintenance implemented has resulted in equipment that is failing less and less. Based on his career experience in the utility industry, preventive maintenance goes a long way, this is another stand that demonstrates the RMLD is looking out for the ratepayer.
