trainer will be coming in to RMLD for a meeting with the entire company. RMLD will be
conducting a two-day self-audit at the end of the summer. RMLD already follows the APPA
Safety Manual which is OSHA based.
Integrated Resources Division-Ms. Parenteau
Power Supply Report-April 2018(Attachment 3)
Ms. Parenteau announced that she would be reporting on April 2018 purchase power and
began with capacity requirements and imbedded costs from 2014 to 2018. In 2014 RMLD's April
capacity requirement was 215,566 kW and the average cost per kW was $10.25. In 2018 RMLD's
April capacity requirement was 222,431 kW and there was a significant increase to cost: $13.56
per kW. This was due to an increase in NEMA's capacity zone, which resulted in a 16 percent
increase for the capacity year (which runs from June 1 to May 31).This is a $3 million annual cost
increase. Capacity is based on the summer peak from the previous year. Ms. Parenteau
announced that Ms. Mulvaney has started the Shred the Peak campaign. RMLD has a list of
2,000 customers who have opted in for Shred the Peak notifications. RMLD issues tweets and e-
mails when anticipating peak usage. Chair Hennessy asked how people can participate. Ms.
Parenteau explained that customers can sign up on RMLD's website.
Ms. Parenteau then discussed purchased power and imbedded costs for fuel. April 2018
purchases,which are somewhat reflective of sales,were down significantly. Despite that, RMLD's
average cost of power is still under five cents. Ms. Parenteau then discussed transmission costs
over the last five-years, from 2014 to 2018.90 percent of transmission costs are through ISO New
England which provides regional network service. Costs are socialized throughout New England
and are based on monthly peak. RMLD's transmission providers are National Grid and
Eversource. Costs are based on monthly peak and regional network charges and are
forecasted to increase annually.
Electric Vehicle Pilot Program-Mr.ThNlerge(Attachment 2)
Mr. Thivierge explained that RMLD has started an electric vehicle (EV) pilot program for the
summer called 'Electrify Your Ride'. Mr. Thivierge highlighted the environmental and savings
benefits of EVs and explained that there are three types of electric vehicles: plug-in electric
hybrid (gas and electric, with a battery capacity less than 10 kWh), plug-in electric hybrid plus
(gas and electric, with a battery capacity greater than 10 kWh), and battery electric vehicles
(completely electric). Mr.Thivierge explained that RMLD is offering a$1,000 rebate for the
Page 1 3
Electric Vehicle PBot Program-Mr.Thhrlerge(Attachment 2)
purchase or lease of new plug-in electric hybrid plus vehicles and a $1,500 rebate for the
purchase or lease of new or used battery electric vehicles. RMLD also has a residential EV
charging station rebate for 100 percent of equipment costs (up to$500) for the home installation
of level 2 networked ('smart') charging stations.
Vice Chair Talbot asked how many other light departments have similar programs? Mr. Thivierge
replied that RMLD is the only municipal in Massachusetts offering a rebate for the purchase or
lease of a car.
Ms. O'Brien explained that less people are coming in for solar. Ms. Porenteau stated that the
rebate budget is$235,000 and$40.000 has been allocated to the EV program.
Vice Chair Talbot stated that a collaboration with the Town of Reading could benefit both sides.
The Town and RMLD should think creatively about future technologies. Mr. Pacino added that
he will soon be purchasing a new car and stated that zoning by-laws need to be tweaked.
Ms. Alvarado stated that is a timely idea since Select Board is beginning to discuss Master Plan
and the Zoning Board is updating their guidelines. Chair Hennessy asked if there's anything RMLD
can do. Ms. O'Brien told Ms. Alvarado that RMLD can provide the Select board with specs,
guidelines,and language regarding charging stations.
Ms. O'Brien stated that RMLD is developing a program to approach retailors in strategically
selected locations about installing EV chargers. Chair Hennessy asked if the EV chargers will be
RMLD owned. Ms. O'Brien replied that only RMLD can sell electricity within its service territory.
Unless a company installs a meter and provides charging to its employees for free the electricity
must be sold by RMLD.
Mr. Thivierge continued his presentation. RMLD's goal is to have 30 approved vehicle
applications in five months and is therefore aiming for six per month.Six applications have been
approved in June so far. Educational articles will be running in local newspapers and online on
The Patch and the RMLD website. Information will be provided on billing envelopes and through
e-mails to customers. RMLD will be at the Wilmington Farmer's Market on Sunday, July 15 to
showcase and allow customers to test drive electric vehicles.
Community Engagement-Ms.Mulvaney
Ms. Mulvaney announced that RMLD's new website launched on June 11r. Content has been
reorganized and the design has been cleaned up. The website is now mobile friendly. It's a
responsive design so it adjusts to any screen.There will be an outage mop. There are separate
sections for residential and commercial customers. RMLD looked at analytics from its previous
website and the most selected are now quick links. The News and Announcements section
highlights current events and campaigns. Ms. O'Brien added that there is a calendar showing
upcoming Board and CAB meetings.
Mr.Talbot disconnected from the meeting.
Financial Report-April 2018-Ms.Markiewicz-(Attachment 4)
Ms. Markiewicz announced that she would be reporting on the first ten months of the fiscal year,
ending on April 30, 2018. Ms. Markiewicz stated that a FERC accounting trainer stated that the
industry standard is to have three to four months of operating cash available. RMLD targeting
two months understanding that there is reserve available if needed. Ms. Markiewicz then
presented a summary of plant. As of April, total capital assets were $77.5 million. Of that $77.5
million, $52.5 million is infrastructure, which makes up the bulk of plant. Structures and
improvements total $10.8 million, equipment and furnishings total $12.9 million (computer
hardware and software, office furniture, fleet, tools, GIS, SCADA, fiber), and land totals $1.3
million. Ms. Markiewicz then presented a plant comparison over the last five-years. In 2014
structures and improvements started at$6.4 million and has gone up to$10.8 million. Equipment
Page 14
Financial Report-April 2018- Ms.Markiewicz-(Attachment 4)
and fumishings has stayed flat because RMLD hasn't put a lot of money into office equipment or
fleet. Infrastructure started at$49.5 million and has increased to$52.5 million.
Ms.Markiewicz stated that year-to-date operating and maintenance expenses are on target for
the budget. May looks like it will go over budget but the impact from the March storms does not
seem to be as dramatic as anticipated.
Engineering and Operations Report-April 2018 - Mr.Jattad(Attachment 5)
Mr. Jaffari stated that year-to-date capital spending totals $5,007,896. $7,685,521 was budgeted
for Fiscal Year 2018 so $2,677,625 remains. Mr. Jaffari stated that routine maintenance is going
well and that RMLD is monitoring the tree-trimming program to ensure that it doesn't go over the
amount budgeted. 843 spans have been cut through April. There were no substation hot spots.
Three underground subdivisions were completed in April and eight more are in progress.
Lynnfield has 20 pending transfers and one pending pull pole. North Reading has 10 transfers
and 49 pull poles. Reading has 27 transfers and 54 pull poles. Wilmington has 35 transfers and
four pull poles. These numbers will be substantially higher in May and June because a lot of
upgrades have been completed. Reliability indices are well below the national and regional
averages for outages. Mr. Jaffari announced that all Fiscal Year 2018 projects are completed
except for the parking lot.There was a round of applause. Mr.Jaffari stated that Fiscal Year 2019
projects are being started ahead of schedule.

Mr. Pocino suggested that the Sub-Committee Payment to the Town of Reading be listed as an
agenda item for the next Board meeting and future meeting dates were discussed.

Call Meeting to Order
Chair Pacino called the meeting to order, stated that the meeting is being filmed, and read the Board of
Commissioners' Code of Conduct.
Discussion of Return on krveslmeM, Disposition Thereof,and Effect on Funding of the RMLD Capital Needs
Adjournment
Chair Pacino stated that there is only one agenda item and explained that the Board of Commissioners needs
to make a public statement on what is being said to the Sub-Committee.
Chair Pacino explained that two members of the Board are cunenfly Commissfoners-Elect. They have been
reelected but the final vote has not been certified yet, so they have not been sworn in.They will be allowed to
participate in the meeting as citizens of the Town.
Chair Pacino asked Ms. O'Brien to provide the public with instructions on how to access the White Paper. Ms.
O'Brien stated one has to start on the RMLD Homepage, click 'Meetings' on the left side, then click 'Board of
Commissioners' and then select 'Quick Links' on the left-hand side.
Chair Pacino recommended that anyone following the Payment to the Town of Reading read the White Paper.
Chair Pacino stated that the Commission has sole control over the bottom line in terms of what to do with the
Town. Chair Pacino explained that tonight he is looking for a public statement on what the Board wishes to do
going forward.
Mr. O'Rourke suggesting providing background far those who may be unfamiliar with the situation.
Chair Pacino explained that the issue initially arose in April 2017 in Town Meeting as an Instructional Motion to the
the Selectmen.Chair Pacino stated he raised the idea of assembling the Sub-Committee,which was conceived
in the 1980s, but had never met. Following the 2017 Motion, the Sub-Committee was formed, consisting of two
members of the Ciffzens' Advisory Board, two members of the Board of Commissioners, and a member of the
Board of Selectmen.
Chair Pacino stated that RMLD is allowed to earn eight percent. That eight percent goes to two places:capital
funds and return on investment to Town.Chair Pacino stated that number is around$2.7 million.
Discussion of Return on Investment,Disposition Thereof,and Effect on Funding of the RMLD Capital Needs
Adjourrmsetst
Ms. Markiewicz clarified: RMLD is allowed to earn eight percent of net plant and it is at RMLD's discretion to
distribute that however the business deems fit. RMLD has always used that money to add to the capital
infrastructure. However, RMLD is not required to spend the money on capital funds or the payment to the Town
of Reading.
Chair Pacino stated that if RMLD doesn't spend on capital, the system can't be maintained properly. The
Commission has concluded that the present formula is not sustainable:RMLD will be giving too much money to
the Town, with not enough going back to the capital. Chair Pacino stated one of the options is to leave the
present formula in place. However, there needs to be a study on how to resolve eventually not having enough
to give to capital.That may mean freezing the payment to the Town if necessary.
Ms. Markiewicz clarified, for the past Five years RMLD has spent more than the rate of return on capital
infrastructure.
Chair Pacino stated that the Board should focus on the next two years, have a study done,and then adjust the
payment formula in year three according to the study results. Chair Pacino stated that he continues to endorse
what he presented:using the Consumer Price Index,with two and a half percent as the floor and a ceiling of five
percent, only for the next two years.
Mr.O'Rourke stated that this process was started to find ways to increase the payment to the Town.However, a
lot of issues were found along the way.RMLD realized it was making the largest payment to a Town in the
Commonwealth. RMLD needs to continue to invest in capital infrastructure. RMLD has a lot of commitments it
needs to honor and doesn't want to jeopardize reliability or raise rates.Mr. O'Rourke suggested a short
statement to the Sub-Committee on why we aren't in position to make increased payments. RMLD can make
the already-scheduled payments for the next two years while a study is undertaken.
Mr.Talbot stated if this was going to be the evening's topic of discussion then the agenda should have been
clearer,so other involved parties would have attended.Mr.Talbot stated that we all learned a lot from the
White Paper.One thing that stood out is that RMLD is making the largest payment to a municipality in the
region. RMLD capital needs are great and it's hard to see why we would go up in the payment to the Town.
Mr.Stempeck said that before the current General Manager RMLD had not reinvested capital into the plant
and was beginning to feel the full effects of that.We're playing catch up.Consultants laid out a 6-year plan.
We're implementing it:these are things that are needed to ensure safety and reliability.The last thing that we
want to do is go negative on the bottom line.
Vice Chair Hennessy agreed and asked for clarification on when the study would start.
Chair Pacino stated that's a reminder to bring up transitioning to a calendar year again and answered that the
two years would start .luly 1,2018.Chair Patina stated two years is a reasonable time to let fawns digest what's
going on.
Mr.Stempeck stated that RMLD needs to be flexible,and there should be language in the statement that if
unanticipated catastrophes and acts of nature occur RMLD will not be able to make payments.
Ms.O'Brien clarified. RMLD is allowed to make up to eight percent of net plant,but you would need to justify
raising the rate to obtain that eight percent.A lot of other Town payments are decreasing because typically
the payments are tied to sales.Some do net plant.Our net plant will be growing,but because sales are going
down the only way to make the eight percent is to raise the rate.We're investing approximately$8 million a
year in capital infrastructure and trying to keep the rate of return eight or less to be fair to public, and we're
paying the Town;a convergence is coming very quickly.
Mr.Talbot stated that we don't want to raise rates or hurt economic development just to add money to the
Town budget.The override passed so there is a lot less pressure.
2
Discussion of Return on Imestment,Disposition Thereof,and Effect on Funding of the RMLD Capital Needs
Adjournment
Chair Pacino stated that he visualizes this as a starting point.This is something to bring to the Sub-Committee and
state this is what we think we can do.The floor for the increase,for the next two years only,will be two-anda-half
percent and the ceiling will be five percent. In the case of a major event,adjustments would have to be made.
When the study is done the formula will be reexamined.The present formula is not sustainable in the long term.
Mr.O'Rourke clarified that FY 2018 would use the current formula.Chair Pacino answered that this would be
effective July 1,2018.
Ms.O'Brien stated that RMLD needs to talk about crafting the scope of the study and what questions need to
be looked at.
Mr.Talbot asked how many municipals guarantee a set payment versus how many are flat or declining? Ms.
O'Brien answered that there are different methodologies
Mr.Talbot stated that,arguably, RMLD's status quo is very generous.
Chair Pacino stated that this should have been dealt with several years ago;it never occurred to the Board that
it would become unsustainable.Mr.O'Rourke stated that he understands the two-yearwindow but there should
be a sense of urgency to the topic.
Chair Pacino replied that they must give the Town two years to adjust.
Mr.Stempeck stated that the study could be conducted much faster than a year and recommendations should
be implemented as quickly as possible.This is happening to all utilities.There has been a decrease in power usage
due to technology and efficiency enhancements. But we're a fixed cost organization.These payments that are
continually going up? At some point they can't be maintained.Mr.Stempeck suggested not guaranteeing two
years.
Chair Pacino stated that would be discussed at the Sub-Committee meeting.
The dates of the next meetings were clarified and having a Commission member go to the Board of Selectmen
meeting on April 1 Om was discussed.
Mr.O'Rourke made a motion,seconded by Mr.Talbot,to adjourn the Regular Session.

presented,but no vote was taken yet.Mr.Kelley stated that the CAB would be reviewing the Operational Budget
the following evening.
Report of the Former Chair-Mr. Pacino
Meeting of the Sub-CommHtee on the Payment to the Town at Reading
Mr. Pacino stated that the Sub-Committee met on Wednesday, April 11 1h. The Sub-Committee discussed the
proposal that had been made by RMLD of a two-and-a-half base or CPI and a five percent ceiling. It was
decided that the study of the payment should come before any changes to the current Town Payment. The
Committee voted to ask the Commission to instruct the Department to proceed with the study and to report
back as soon as possible with the results.
Mr.O'Rourke asked if the Sub-Committee should be kept in place?Mr.Pacino answered yes.Mr.O'Rourke asked
what about the upcoming Town Meeting? Mr.Pacino stated that the Selectmen will give an update.
Mr.Stempeck stated that the Committee decided they need to understand facts.Approximately 6-month time
frame approximately$100,000
Ms. O'Brien stated that the study will ask for assets by classification. It will work through what is appropriate to
spend on capital due to the age of the infrastructure. If will examine reliability,staffing, and financials past and
present. They'll speak with Integrated Resources about power supply projections. It's going to take some time
because a lot of detail is necessary to be able to project forward.
Mr.Talbot asked is the purpose of the study to find out what the payment to the Town can be going forward,or
is there a greater purpose? Mr.Stempeck answered that the payment is a significant portion of why the study is
being done.Ms.O'Brien added that the study is going to examine financials so that we can determine what our
future net income is projected to be.
Mr.Talbot stated that the study should develop a strategic plan on how to diversify. Best practices from other
municipals should be examined. Mr.Stempeck replied that should be phase two.The first phase is to see if RMLD
is sustainable,then determine what if? We need to get numbers down first.
Mr. Talbot reiterated that he wants to know what other municipals are doing. Mr. Stempeck asked if
recommendations for increased revenue can be included in the study's scope.Ms.O'Brien replied that the study
should make recommendations.
Mr.O'Rourke said that he considers this an affordability study on how the formula that determines the payment
to the Town can be changed to be more reasonable.
Mr.Talbot asked what other municipals are doing.Ms.O'Brien stated she had previously presented a slide that
showed what other municipals are paying. Mr. Talbot stated that RMLD knows it is paying more. Is a study
necessary to tell us what we already know?

Report of the Former Chair-Mr. Pacino
Meeting of the Sub-Commtitee on the Payment to the Town of Reading
Mr.Kelley asked where the money for the study will come from? The budget process is already underway.Mr.
Kelley asked if the CAB vote on the budget needs to be held off? The$100,000 needs to come from
someplace.The money currently hasn't been allocated.
Ms.O'Brien stated that$100,000 is not a definite number. Mr.O'Rourke stated that it's not going to be spent
without approval
Ms.O'Brien stated that she scheduled a meeting for this week to determine if it is possible to get the information
RMLD is looking for. The spreadsheet that has been put together may be the best predictive indicator we're
going to get that shows the convergence.
Mr.Stempeck made a motion,seconded by Mr.Talbot,that the General Manager investigate,to the best of
her ability,whether it makes sense to have a study to engage a consultant to answer the kinds of questions that
she thinks she should be in the scope of the study and provide us with feedback at our next meeting.
Motion Passed:5:0:0.

Ms. Parenteau announced that she would be discussing February. Ms. Parenteau started with the spot market
prices,which are the day-ahead and the real time prices,from 2014 through 2018.Both the day ahead and real
time prices have dropped considerably. In 2014,the average day ahead price was$156.24. In February 2018 it
dropped to$39.48. However,there was approximately a 30 percent increase from 2017 to 2018.The day ahead
pricing went from$30.33 in 2017 to$39.48 in 2018.The real time went from$29.02 in 2017 to$36.88 in 2018.
Mr.Stempeck asked what caused such a sizable difference between 2014 and 2018? Ms. Parenteau answered
that in 2014 there was a cold snap, and that was also the beginning of the natural gas constraint. In 2014,there
were 1,179 heating degree days.This last February there were 809:It was the warmest February in five years.The
cost in fuel was 6.15 cents per kWh in 2014 and 5.88 cents per kWh in 2018. Between 2017 and 2018 there was
approximately a 16 percent increase in the embedded average fuel cost. In 2018 RMLD's average energy cost
was$2.9 million compared to$2.5 million in 2017.There was approximately a$439.000 increase.The addition of
hydro and contract price increases were the main causes of the increase.
Financial Report- February 2018-Ms.Markiewicz- (Attachment 4)
Ms. Markiewicz announced that she would be reporting on the first eight months of the fiscal year, ending on
February 28,2018. Unrestricted cash of$15.3 million covers about two months of operating expenses. Accounts
receivable are 97 percent current,with up to 90 days considered current.Net plant increased by$3.7 million as
compared to February 28, 2017. Base revenue increased 1.1 percent year-to year but there was a 1.7 percent
decrease in kWh sales from 2017 to 2018.There was a 1.8 percent decrease in base revenue as compared to the

Financial Report- February 2018-Ms.MarkieWICs- (Attachment 4)
budget. Purchased power fuel expenses exceeded purchased power fuel revenue by $2.2 million. Purchased
power capacity and transmission (PPCT) expenses exceeded PPCT revenue by $412,000. Operating and
maintenance expenses are currently under-budget by about 4.7 percent.
Ms. Markiewicz then presented budgeted capital funds balances and budgeted capital spending from FY2018
through FY 2023. Each year has a beginning balance, the three percent depreciation, actual operating fund
transfers,and bond proceeds and other proceeds.The goal is not to have capital improvement funds go below
$1 million.Ms.Markiewicz discussed the projected net income as compared to RMLD's projected budgeted rate
of return.There's a downward trend.which takes into account the proposed rate increases. Ms.Markiewicz then
discussed the downward trend in kWh sold,and how it lies with our rate of return.
Engineering and Operations Report-February 2018. Mr.JaRarl(Affachmenl 5)
Mr. Jaffari announced that good progress Is being made. Most projects will be ending in the Iasi quarter of the
