plan. Grid modernization will have cost approximately $8.5 million. Of that, $381,000 was
budgeted for Fiscal Year 2018 and $676,000 is being budgeted for Fiscal Year 2019.$267,000 was %
budgeted in Fiscal Year 2018 for land for the new Wilmington substation in the Ballardvale area.
$151,000 has been budgeted for Fiscal Year 2019 for engineering. Miscellaneous continuing
projects in Fiscal Year 2019 include LED lighting at 230 Ash Street, a parking lot upgrade at 230
Ash Street, electric vehicle charging stations, and battery storage. Mr.Jaffari then discussed new
projects for Fiscal Year 2019, including Ballardvale Street pole line upgrades and 4W5, 4W6, and
4W16 Wilmington getaway replacements. These will bring up the ratings of the station feeder
cable, which will help reliability during switching. New projects also include a .Massachusetts
Department of Transportation project on Main and Hopkins in Reading, for which RMLD will be
reimbursed by the state, and new equipment purchase, including electric phasing meters. Mr.
Jaffari then reviewed the annually budgeted recurring projects.
Mr. Jaffari then summarized: Fiscal Year 2018 was budgeted for $7,686,000. Spending is
estimated to come to $8,009,000, resulting in a $323,000 variance. Fiscal Year 2019 estimated
spending is$7,570,000.
Mr. Pacino asked what redoing the parking lot will entail. Ms. O'Brien answered that the parking
lot currently pools with water and ice. It needs to be resurfaced and there is wasted space. The
amount of parking spaces will be doubled. The lot will extend to Station 1.The curb cuts will be
reused and the public electric vehicle charger will be relocated to the upgraded parking lot.
Mr. Pacino asked for details about the Mass D.O.T. project. Mr. Jaffari replied that the state is
widening the area.The poles are being relocated as part of the intersection upgrade.
Chair Hennessy announced the CAB voted to approve the Capital Budget:3:0:2 on April 30,
2018.
l
Mr.Stempeck made a motion, seconded by Mr. Pacino, that the RMLD Board of Commissioners
approve the Fiscal Year 2019 Capital Budget dated March 29, 2018, in the amount of$7,570,489
as presented, on the recommendation of the General Manager.

Proposed Rate Adjustment
Chair Hennessy verified that the Commission is voting to implement Scenario 3. Ms. Parenteau
affirmed.
Chair Pacino asked Mr. Soni about the two CAB members who voted against the rate
adjustment and confirmed that they were opposed to any rate increase. Mr.Soni explained that
the two members of the CAB were concerned about the rate increase and wondered if
something else could be done.
Mr. Pacino stated he would abstain from the vote, citing his concern over the CAB objections,
since the CAB represents the community of ratepayers. However, Mr. Pacino stated he does not
want to vote against the motion:therefore,he abstains.
Mr.Stempeck stated that it is not unusual for the CAB to have reservations about rate changes. },

Proposed Rate Adjustment
Ms. O'Brien stated that there was no system planning or maintenance for two decades. These
1 nominal increases, along with RMLD doing as much as possible in-house allow the upgrades to
be done at minimal cost.

General Manager's Report-Ms. O'Brien
Ms. O'Brien announced the overall winner of the high school art contest, whose art will appear
on the cover of RMLD's annual report. The winner had received the Environmental Inspiration
I award during the awards ceremony: Megan Coram, from Reading Memorial High School. Ms.
Coram's piece is titled 'Growing a Sustainable Future.' Ms. O'Brien then read Ms. Coram's
description of her artwork:
f "I chose to focus on the Community Solar Program for my art because I think it's an excellent
project. I'm very impressed by the accessibility, efficiency, and sustainability of the program. In
my artwork, I chose to draw the Community Solar Program as a tree to represent that it is good
i for the environment. The symbol of the tree also shows that the program and its members
depend on each other, just like the roots and the leaves are both indispensable parts of the
tree.The bright colors convey the hopefulness and promise of the program."
i Mr. Pacino stated that he attended the awards ceremony the previous week and all the entries
were very creative. Everybody who had a piece on display was a winner.
k
�- Ms. O'Brien asked the Board's permission to attend the annual NEPPA conference.
Mr. Pacino made a motion, seconded by Mr. Talbot, that the RMLD Board of Commissioners

August 19 to August 22,in North Falmouth,MA.
(� Motion Carried:5:0:0.
All the Commissioners confirmed that they would be attending the conference as well. Ms.
O'Brien stated that the CAB is being invited to attend this year.
Engineering and Operations Report-March 20187 Mr. Jaffari(Attachment 5)
Mr. Jaffari presented next, since he was already at the microphone due to his Capital Budget
presentation.$152,939 was spent on routine capital construction in the month of March, bringing
the year-to-date total to $1,131,537. The total capital spending in March, for all divisions, was
$659,288, bringing the year-to-date total to $4,595,933. $3,089,588 remains in the budgeted
$7,685,521. Good progress is being made on routine maintenance. Mr. Jaffari then reviewed the
NJUNS report. Lynnfield has seven pending pole transfers. North Reading has 10 pending pole
transfers and 35 pull poles. Reading has 26 pending pole transfers and 54 pull poles. Wilmington
has 34 pending pole transfers and four pull poles. Reliability indices show that RMLD's outages
are well below regional and national averages. Mr. Jaffari explained that the annual average of
tree-caused outages from 2013-2017 was 57. Year-to date, there have been four outages
caused by trees:the tree trimming program is effective.
Mr.Stempeck and Mr. O'Rourke remarked on the dramatic change.
Financial Report- March 2018 -Ms.Markiewicz- (Attachment 4)
Ms. Markiewicz stated that she would be reporting on the first nine months of Fiscal Year 2018.
The unrestricted cash, totaling $14.6 million at the end of March, covers less than two months of
operating expenses. Accounts receivable remains 97 percent current (up to 90 days). Net plant
increased by$3.8 million as compared to March 31, 2017. Base revenue increased by one
Page 1 3
Financial Report-March 2018- Ms.Markiewicz - (Attachment 4)
percent compared to the previous year with a decrease of kWh sales of 2.6 percent. Purchase
power fuel expense exceeds purchased power fuel revenue by $2.3 million. Purchase power,
capacity, and transmission (PPCT) expenses exceed PPCT revenue by $146,000. Operating and
maintenance expenses remain under budget by one percent as of March 31, 2018. This may
change due to invoices related to the March storms still being received.
Ms. Markiewicz then discussed cash and investments as'of March 30, 2018. 67 percent of cash is
restricted and cannot be touched. 33 percent (one-third) is being used as a checkbook to fund
operating expenses-RMLD can cover less than two months of the operating fund with the
current balance.
Ms. Markiewicz then compared base revenue to operating expenses (without power) using
Actual Fiscal Year 2017 and projections for Fiscal Years 2018 through 2023. Operating and
maintenance expenses only. Base revenue is projected to increase 20.37 percent and operating
expenses are projected to increase 21.27 percent over the seven-year span. This results in a .90
percent difference between revenue and operating expenses. As revenue increases, spending
increases. All money is being reinvested into RMLD's infrastructure and the operations of the
business. Ms. Markiewicz concluded her presentation with a comparison of operating and
maintenance expenses in the first nine months of Fiscal Year 2017 and Fiscal Year 2018 and the
Fiscal Year 2018 Budget.
Integrated Resources Division -Ms. Parenteau(Attachment 3)
Ms. Parenteau began by announcing that RMLD will be at North Reading Town Day on Sunday,
June 3 and Reading Friends and Family Day on Saturday,June 16. RMLD's new website is close to
being complete, with a potential launch at the end of the month. The redesigned site will be
mobile friendly. RMLD will be beginning its promotion of the Shred the Peak campaign in the
upcoming months.
1�
Ms. Parenteau then discussed Fiscal Year 2018 Quarter 3 kWh sales,January through March,from
2016 through 2018. January 2018 was colder than previous years, which resulted in higher sales.
February 2018 was consistent and flat, and March 2018 sales were slightly below that of the
previous two years. Overall,quarter sales were flat
as compared to 2017 and higher than 2016. However, sales are down two percent overall.
Quarters 1 and 2 were significantly lower. This is due to the impact from sales from July to
December.
Ms. Parenteau then discussed Quarter 3 purchase power, capacity and transmission revenue. It
has increased steadily. From 2016 to 2017 there was a $446,000 increase that was primarily due
to transmission increases. 2017 to 2018 the increase in Quarter 3 was about $1.68 million. The
main reason for that increase was the NEMA capacity zone increase.
Ms. Parenteau concluded with capacity, transmission, and fuel costs from January through
March, from 2016 through 2018. There was a capacity revenue increase from 2016 to 2017 of
$291,000. From 2017 to 2018 there was a $1.5 million capacity cost increase. Transmission costs
rose by $250,000 from 2016 to 2017, and then by $353,000 from 2017 to 2018. Fuel costs
decreased by $372,000 from 2016 to 2017, then increased by $1.4 million from 2017 to 2018
primarily due to a higher load in January.The cold spell had significant cost impacts.
Mr. Soni asked, when making the budget how do you prevent surprises and factor in what's
happening in the market? Ms. Parenteau replied New England's fuel source is gas-based. During
winter time, New England is at the end of the pipeline which makes it a constrained zone.As a
result, the energy markets are more volatile from December to February. RMLD's strategy is to
secure more contracts to cover load so as to not be subject to this price volatility. RMLD's power
needs are 95 percent covered during the volatile winter months.

C RMLD Procurement Request Requiring Board Approval - Ms. Parenteau(Attachment b)
IFB-44 Electrician Services for the Removal of Load Control Modules(LCM)and Associated Parts
a Ms. Parenteau explained that the RMLD had installed approximately 300 hot water heater load
i control modules that are now at the end of their useful life. They were installed by an electrician
and now must be removed by an electrician.The bid request was sent to 20 companies, and six
i responded. Removal of load control module, installation of a splice box, part of electrical code
if cannot see control panel disconnect switch needs to be installed. equipment returned to
RMLD. RMLD will be contacting customers to schedule appointments. The electrician will be
I responsible for getting the electrical permit and the removal will take approximately one hour to
complete.
I
Mr. Pacino verified that no one is currently providing this service. Ms. Parenteau affirmed. Mr.
! Talbot asked why the equipment can't be left where it is. Ms. Parenteau explained that the old
equipment is a liability issue for RMLD.
Mr. Talbot asked if it would be possible to hand the customer an alternative at the time of
f removal, even a device that would be the customer's responsibility, or any other promotion. Ms.
Parenteau answered that IRD is developing an RFP to look at other technologies and residential
load control proposals that are not limited to water heaters. Ms. Parenteau explained that RMLD
is restructuring its program; it is a challenge to have RMLD equipment in customer homes.
Mr. Talbot asked about giving customers an alternative at the time of the equipment removal,
3 just as RMLD offers other devices and discounts to customers. Mr. Talbot noted that control of a
few hundred water heaters with timers has the potential to produce perhaps a 1/2 megawatt
load control,which is a lot considering we just spent millions on a gas generator for 2 megawatts
of load control,so it's worth the effort while we are interacting with these customers. Ms. O'Brien
explained that many customers have shut off the load control but are still receiving a discount
on their bill. Installing equipment creates a liability.
Chair Hennessy asked how long it will take to complete all the removals. Ms. Parenteau replied
that, assuming six removals are done per week, it will take about a year. It will depend on All
Tech's manpower. Chair Hennessy remarked that there's time to implement Mr. Talbot's
j suggestion at a later date.
,
s
I Mr. Talbot requested that the Board wait a month to vote on the bid to give time to consider
alternatives. Ms. O'Brien replied that it's a liability issue.
1
Mr. Stempeck asked if there have been any issues with the equipment currently in customer
j homes. Ms. Parenteau answered in the affirmative.
1 Mr. Talbot stated he would like to offer customers an alternative at the time of removal. Ms.
O'Brien stated that appliances are becoming smarter. RMLD would rather concentrate its efforts
there.The RMLD is an overall smart appliance controller under its rebate program.i.e. Nest.
Mr. Stempeck stated that there's a liability and customers are receiving a rebate for equipment
I that is disconnected.
Ms. O'Brien explained that anything that is not in the bid cannot be added to the electrician's
duties. Mr.Talbot stated he will be voting against the bid.
I
Mr. Stempeck asked if the cost of the equipment removal will be recouped by the removal of
the customer rebate. Ms. Parenteau explained that it would;customers receive a credit per year
of approximately$220.
Mr. Pacino verified that RMLD has done its due diligence checking references. Ms. Parenteau
replied in the affirmative.
t
'J Ms. O'Brien stated that she is not in favor of installing any equipment in homes.

June meeting, and Mr.O'Rourke stated that he would go to the July meeting.
Mr. O'Rourke expressed his wish for Mr. Talbot's concern about the water heater load control
modules be addressed at a later meeting and stated that there is merit in examining options.
Ms. Markiewicz pointed out that there was supposed to be a vote on the change to a calendar
year.
Mr. Pacino made a motion, seconded by Mr. Stempeck that the RMLD Board of Commissioners
approve RMLD's change from a Fiscal Year to a Calendar Year, with the change becoming
effective January 1,2019,on the recommendation of the General Manager.

Pole Line Upgrade
Project Schedule: FY18-19 Project Manager: John McDonagh,
General Line Foreman
Reason for Expenditure:
The pole line on Woburn Street, Wilmington, between Concord Street and West Street
currently has three (3) spacer cable circuits. These poles are under-sized, under-classed,
and over 30 years old. This project will upgrade the poles to the proper strength and
height class, create the proper NESC clearances between utilities and benefit the long-
term reliability of the system.
Brief Description/Scope:
Replace approximately twenty-four (24) main line poles with 55' poles and four (4) stub
poles with 40' poles along a section of Woburn Street in Wilmington between Concord
Street and West Street. Frame poles with new hardware and transfer the three (3) spacer
cable circuits, replace five (5) transformers, transfer one (1) primary lateral, reconductor
with secondary cable, transfer/replace 32 services, and 14 street lights. Street lights will
be changed to LEDs (as part of the LED Upgrade Project).
Barriers:
Although this is a Verizon set area, RMLD will set the poles because this project requires
55' poles.

Project Name: Ballardvale Street Pole Line Upgrade, W Project#: 123
Pole Line Upgrade
Project Schedule: FY19-20 Project Manager: Manole Agouridis,
Distribution Engineer
Reason for Expenditure:
To upgrade the pole line starting near the location of the proposed Wilmington substation and
ending at Route 125. This shall include pole upgrades and attached feeder upgrades, and
associated work to install provisions for future circuits.from the proposed substation.
Brief Description/Scope:
The aforementioned, one-mile section of Ballardvale Street spans 30 poles that starts at the
location of the proposed Wilmington substation and ends at the intersection of Route 125. This
project will result in the upgrade of almost all 30 poles, and shall include the reconductoring of
circuits 5W5 and 5W9 in this area. In addition, poles with added height will be installed for the
potential to install additional circuits from the proposed Wilmington substation. The idea is to
perform these upgrades ahead of new substation construction so these two projects are NOT
occurring concurrently and disrupting the Ballardvale Street area.
}
Barriers:
This project shall coincide with the proposed Wilmington substation location. If the location of
the substation is moved, this capital project shall be revisited/reprioritized accordingly.

areas on the RMLD distribution system were originally fed from 5 kV distribution
circuits. When RMLD began moving load over to the 13.8kV distribution circuits, most
areas were converted but some areas were re-fed with pole-mount, step-down
transformers. Most of the distribution system in these areas are 30+ years old and in
need of upgrade before they can be converted.
Brief Description/Scope:
Replace poles, primary cable, and overhead transformers, as needed, in the various
step-down areas. Convert areas to 13.8kV and remove step-down transformers. The
secondary cable and service upgrades will be done in conjunction with Project 458.
Barriers:
Some areas are Verizon set areas.
Change in Scope of Work From Prior Fiscal Year:
Not applicable.
Status.Update:
A conversion has been completed on Federal Street and Main Street in Reading.
Additional, conversions are underway on Vine Street, and Timberneck Road in Reading;
McDonald Road in Wilmington, and Adams Street in North Reading.

`--� CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Name: Underground Facilities Upgrades (URDs, Project#: 106
Manholes, etc.)
Project Schedule: Annual Project Manager: Vaughan Bryan,
Distribution Engineer
John McDonagh, General Line
Foreman
Reason for Expenditure:
There are 210 +/- underground residential subdivisions in the RMLD service territory, of
which, 90 +/- are over 25 years old. These subdivisions are in need of new primary
cable and transformers. Some of the URDs are in step-down areas and need to be
upgraded before they can be converted to 7,970 volts. Most of the existing transformers
are live-front units. The new pad-mount transformers will be dead-front units, which will
improve reliability by eliminating the possibility of animal contacts within the pad
transformer. The new transformers will be placed on box-pads that will raise the
transformers out of the mulch beds, which will prevent premature rusting and corrosion
of the transformers.
Brief Description/Scope:
Replace primary and neutral cables, and pad-mount transformers as needed in the
various URDs. Some of the transformers within each of these subdivisions have already
been replaced. The precast transformer pads will be replaced with fiberglass box pads
as needed for elevation requirements. Certain areas will be targeted each year.
Barriers:
None anticipated at this time.
Change in Scope of Work From Prior Fiscal Year:
Not applicable.
Status Update:
The Department completed Crestwood and Robin Road in North Reading, portions of
Spruce Road in North Reading, Cherokee Lane in Wilmington, and Aspen Road in
North Reading. The Department is working to complete Westover Estates in Lynnfield
and Shasta Lane in North Reading in FY18.
