Report on Citizens'Advisory Board Meeting on October 9,2010-Mr.Stempeck
Mr.Stempeck stated that the CAB meeting was a great meeting with excellent questions.The
CAB approved the capital and operating budgets.There was a discussion on the best way to
present the budgets.Mr.Small had nothing to add.
Verizon and AT&T 5G-Mr.Slempeck
Mr.Stempeck explained that he read a newspaper article regarding cell carriers wanting to put
miniature 5G cell towers on pole tops and stated that RMLD could charge a fee.
Ms.O'Brien explained that if wireless is ultimately classified as a utility then a set fee will be state-
mandoted. The fee will be split with Verizon because they own half of each pole. There's also
the question of who works on the cell equipment: that high up near electrical lines requires a
rated worker. There's the issue of multiple caniers. Mr. Talbot asked for a report on carrier
requests at the next meeting. Ms. O'Brien answered that there have been no carrier requests.
Mr.Jaffari added that there are concerns with operational radio safety.
The discussion on the payment to the Town of Reading was tabled until Mr. Paclno s arrival.
CY 2019 Caphal Budget-Mr.Jaflarl-(Attachment 2)
Mr. Jaffan explained that he would be presenting highlights of the Calendar Year 2019 Capital
Budget. Mr. Jaffari reviewed projects including LED upgrades, the parking lot upgrade at 230
Ash Street, building upgrades, and the installation of electric vehicle chargers. Mr. Jaffari also
reviewed the battery storage unit at Station 3, grid optimization and software integration, and
the outage management system and IVR. Mr. Stempeck, referring to gas explosions that
recently occurred in another town, asked if RMLD can shut off power in specific locations. Mr.
Jaffari explained that RMLD currently cannot but will be able to once Intellirupter switches are
installed. It's a 15-year project due to the equipment cost, The switches are being installed in
key locations.
Mr. Jaffari discussed costs associated with the new Wilmington substation and stated that RMLD
is in negotiations with National Grid for land and should have letter ofintent by October 31. Mr.
Jaffari explained that RMLD will be reimbursed by the state for the Massachusetts Deportment of
Transportation Main Street widening. The next three projects are new and are an underground
line extension on Marion Street, d 5W5 Andover Street upgrade in Wilmington, and fiber line
extensions to Substation 4. Notional Grid is trying to connect their SCADA and RMLD is in the
middle. It is cheaper than what National Grid had quoted.This is per NERC and is ISO mandated
so RMLD is obligated to do this, It will increase overall area reliability. Mr. Jaffari stated that the
next three projects involve the getaways for Station 4.The conduits are filled with cables and the
heat builds up. RMLD engineers are moving two lines from underground to overhead. This will
increase distribution capacity by 20 megawatts and is a great savings. Mr. Jaffari reviewed the
AMI mesh network expansion, meter replacements,and equipment upgrades.
Mr. Stempeck asked if RMLD could offer the service of testing poles for Verizon. Ms. O'Brien
stated the RMLD can test poles in Verizon's custodial area but cannot charge Verizon for
maintenance that they should be doing as it's a Verizon union issue.
Mr.Talbot asked whether the parking lot upgrade is necessary. Mr. Stempeck stated that it had
been previously discussed. Ms. O'Brien stated that more spaces and another EV charger are
being added. Mr.Talbot stated that he wants to see the building plans.
Mr. Stempeck made a motion, seconded by Mr. O'Rourke, that the RMLD Board of
Commissioners approve the Calendar Year 2019 Capital Budget in the amount of$7,804,373 as
presented,on the recommendation of the General Manager.
Motion Carried:4:0:0.
CY 2019 Operating Budget-Ms.Markiewicz-(Attachment 3)
Ms. Markiewicz explained that fixed costs comprise 80.7 percent of the CY 19 Operating Budget.
71.44 percent is power supply. Fixed cost decreased by about 4.2 percent from FY 19 to CY 19
Page 1 2
CY 2019 Operating Budget-Ms.Markiewicz-(Attachment 3)
due mainly to a reduction in fuel costs. Semi-variable costs represent about 19.3 percent of the
overall operating budget, which is a 2.6 percent increase. The overall operating budget is
projected to decrease by 2.94 percent from FY19 to CY19. Fixed costs are comprised of power
supply which is 77.44 percent of budget, depreciation expense of a rate of three percent which
is $4,524,000 and 4.83 percent of the budget, the payment to the Town of Reading at $2.48
million and 2.65 percent of the budget, payments to the other towns which are based on two
percent of net plant which are$1.6 million and 1.68 percent of budget,and disposal of losses on
equipment which is about $100,000. Semi-variable costs are comprised of labor which is 7.12
percent of budget, employee benefits and pension which are 3.83 percent of budget,
operating and maintenance expenses which are 2.76 percent of the budget, conservation
expenses which are 1.05 percent of budget, overtime which is 1.06 percent, and free trimming
which is almost one percent. All other expenses are less than one percent of the budget. Chair
Hennessy asked if the percentage of employee benefits and pension was continually going up.
Ms. Markiewicz explained health insurance has been going up and pension costs are going up
about$400,000 per year.` Based on actuarial reports, the Town of Reading is targeting a specific
time to be fully funded. Ms. Markiewicz stated that the actuarial reports show a greater rate of
return on investment than what the Town has been receiving. RMLD has spoken with the Town
about how to better invest funds. Ms. Markiewicz discussed the budgeted net income
compared to the budgeted rate of return for the Six-Year Plan and explained that RMLD is
staying close to eight percent to fund capital projects. As projects are completed the rate of
return will be brought down to six percent. Ms. Markiewicz then reviewed the budgeted kWh
sold compared to the budgeted rate of return and stated that RMLD is projecting that sales will
drop one percent each year. As sales decrease the rate of return decreases. Ms. Markiewicz
then explained the sources of capital funds from CY19 through CY24.
Ms. Markiewicz then reviewed the FY18 financials and explained that there hasn't been a
presentation on FY18 yet because RMLD and the auditors are waiting for the actuarial report
based on the new GASB OPEB. However, the FY18 actual numbers should not change. FY18
actual came in at$5.2 million. Real net income was $4.5 million but because of OPEB there was
a $700,000 decrease in expenses. The rate of return came in under eight percent and RMLD
come in under budget.
Returning to the CY 19 budget, Ms. Markiewicz stated that it has total operating revenues of$96
million reduced by $3 million from FY19. Purchase power, capacity, transmission, fuel and fuel
are$66.8 million.The bottom line number is anticipated to come in at$3.5 million, which is what
the Commission is being asked to vote on. Ms. Markiewicz stated that RMLD will not be raising
rates to make net income.
Mr. O'Rourke expressed concerns regarding declining sales.
Mr.Pacino arrived at the meeting.
Mr.Talbot asked about the increase in pension. Ms. Markiewicz explained that was due to OPEB
being underfunded. Mr.Talbot asked about the change in labor costs. Ms.Markiewicz explained
that a portion of labor comes from capital and a portion comes from operating. The FY19
Budget had anticipated a higher cost of capital projects. Mr.Talbot asked about legal fees and
suggested that the Board should set policies as an oversight for legal expenses. Mc Stempeck
pointed out that legal had written a white paper f6r RMLD's benefit. Mr. Talbot asked what the
Town of Reading spends. Mr. Pacino replied that RMLD can't be compared to the Town and Mr.
Stempeck stated that he is all for hiring competent attorneys. Ms. O'Brien stated that RMLD
doesn't have anyone on retainer: RMLD needs specialists in labor, power supply, FERC counsel,
and counsel for insurance claims, purchasing, and policies. Mr. O'Rourke suggested a
spreadsheet showing what has been spent on legal over the last five years. Ms. O'Brien stated
that RMLD used to pay $780 an hour for labor and now pays less than half of that. Ms. O'Brien
indicated that a spreadsheet would be generated.

Integrated Resources Division-Ms. Parenteau
Power Supply Report-August 7018(Attachment 4)
Ms. Parenteau thanked the Board for their support. Ms. Parenteau discussed the ISO coincident
peak with RMLD's load from 2016 through 2018. ISO system peak coincident with RMLD's load. In
2016 the ISO's peak was 25,596 megawatts. If was higher this year: preliminary reporting shows
that ISO peaked at 25,763 megawatts on August 29 at 6 p.m. RMLD's load 159.643 compared to
163.058 in 2016. In 2018 RMLD's generator was online so there was a 2.3-megawatt reduction.
Regarding Mr. Talbot's question of how much Shred the Peak gets involved, when ratios from
2016 and 2018 (with the 2.3 subtracted) are compared, there is a significant decrease in RMLD's
peak. Customers have taken an active interest and are working with RMLD to reduce use. Ms.
Porenteou stated that her group did a great job in educating customers. Ms. Parenteau then
discussed day ahead and real time pricing on August 12, 2016, June 17, 2017, and August 29,
2018 (ISO peak days).
Engineering and Operations Report-July and August 7018-Mr.Jaffari(Attachment 5)

capital spending is $910,325 with $6,660,164 remaining. Mr. Jaffari reviewed the progress being
made on routine maintenance programs. Mr. Jaffari stated that Lynnfield has 19 transfers North
Reading nine transfers 44 poles to remove Reading 27 transfers 18 poles to remove Wilmington
28 transfers four poles to be removed. Reliability is well under the national and regional
averages. SAIDI is a little higher this year due to falling frees. Overall outages are going down
which shows that RMLD is on the right track with its maintenance programs.
RMLD Procurement Requests Requiring Board Approval-Mr.Jotiarl(Attachment 6)
IFP 2019.03 Cooper Power Systems Meters and Equipment for the AMI Mesh Network System
Expansion and Migration
Mr.Jaftori explained that this will strengthen the mesh network. Mr. Pacino asked how much was
budgeted for this project. Mr. Jaffari checked the budget and replied $300,000. Mr. Pacino
requested that the budgeted amount always be included with the bid requests.
Mr.Stempeck made a motion,seconded by Mr. Mr.O'Rourke, that IFP 2019.03 for Cooper Power
Systems Meters and Equipment for the AMI Mesh Network System Expansion and Migration be
awarded to: Cannon Technologies, Inc., an affiliate of Eaton Corporation plc dba Eaton for
$274,380.00, pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 164 § 56D, on the recommendation of the General
Manager.
Motion Carried:5:0:0.
Sub-Committee on the Payment to the Town of Reading-Mr.Pacino
Mr. Stempeck stated that he has some comments and explained that Ms. O'Brien did a study
analyzing the payment to the Town of Reading that included different metrics and variables to
be considered along with RMLD's charter.The study is tied to six-year strategic plan and found a
convergence due to decreasing kilowatt hour sales and the increasing payment to the Town.
The worst case would lead to a shortage of net income and no way to build up capital reserves.
Ms. Markiewicz, Ms. O'Brien, and Mr. Jaffari hove put together two to three scenarios with
projections for the future.The study also contains financial analysis on revenue, costs,
Page 1 4
Sub-Commetee on the Payment to the Town of Reading-Mr.Pacing,
repercussions and assumptions. Mr. Stempeck stated he would like to propose that the study
and scenarios be submitted to the Sub-Committee so that the Sub-Committee has a chance to
get grounded in what the financials really mean and can understand the background of the
study. There is a Sub-Committee meeting on Tuesday, October 23 and the financial implications
can be discussed and then Mr.Stempeck and Mr.Pacino can return to the Board.Mr.Stempeck
stated that 's has to be made sure that RMLD has enough capital for the maintenance of the
system and that a consensus will hopefully develop among members of the Sub-Committee. Mr.
Pacino pointed out some corrections to the study that Mr.O'Rourke brought to his attention and
stated that he agrees with everything Mr. Stempeck said except that he would like to see the
payment to the Town stay the same for two years to give the Town time for economic
development.That will be worked out by the Sub-Committee.
Mr. O'Rourke reminded everyone that the payments to date were based on a number picked in
1997,which was the CPI,that goes up regardless of the performance of the utility.That's why it's
unsustainable: it keeps going up even when revenues are flat. Mr. O'Rourke explained tho. 'he
RMLD began this process because the Town wanted the payment to increase.Mr. Pocino staled
that even though the result is opposite of what was intended it is something that should have
been being looked at. Mc O'Rourke recognized Ms. O'Brien for her work on the study. Mr.
Pacino stated that he thought the payment should be reviewed every three years: five years is
too long. Mr.Talbot pointed out that, as has been previously discussed and as he understands it,
among municipal electrics. RMLD is making the largest PILOT payment in the state.
General Discussion
Meeting dates were discussed.
Adjournment
At 852 p.m., Mr. Pacino made a motion, seconded by Mr. O'Rourke, that the Board go into

Page 1 1
General Manager's Report-Ms.O'Brien
Review of Board Policies
It was agreed upon that policies with no changes that are up for their three-year review will be
distributed to the Board and voted on.
Ms. O'Brien explained that the changes to Policy No. 2 Surplus were due to a recommendation
from staff. Previously, surplus offers were extended to the towns for 30 days and then posted to
local newspapers for 30 days. 60 days to sit on surplus was too long. The change to the bid
shortens the timeframe.There was discussion about the process for offering surplus to the Towns.
Mr. Hooper stated that RMLD's process is standard.
Mr. Pacino made a motion, seconded by Mr. O'Rourke, that the Board approve the changes to
Policy No.2 Surplus, on the recommendation of the General Manager.
Motion Carried:4:0:0.
Ms. O'Brien explained that Policy No. 14 was called Unique Employee Situation and stated that if
the General Manager gives the okay, employees can donate sick time to other employees. Ms.
O'Brien explained that the policy now states that it can only be used for serious illness. The
employee must be in good standing. It is not used often and is prorated based upon the position
of the employee donating hours.
Mr. Hooper stated that this is standard practice. Mr. Hennessy thanked Mr. Hooper for his
comments.
Mr. Pacino made a motion,seconded by Mr. O'Rourke, that the Board approve the changes to
Policy No. 14 Voluntary Use of Sick Time, on the recommendation of the General Manager.
Motion Carried:4:0:0.
Ms. O'Brien explained that Policy No. 30 Sustainable Energy had said "RMLD will strive to reach
15 percent by June 30, 2013, 20 percent by 2020. 25 percent by 2025" and has now been
changed to "the RMLD met 16 percent by 2017, will strive to meet 20 percent by 2020, 25
percent by 2025." It was changed to identify what had been done.
Mr. O'Rourke asked if battery storage was included. Ms. O'Brien answered that the policy says,
"sustainable generating sources" and battery storage doesn't generate.
Mr. Talbot asked if the word "strive" could be changed to make the language more concrete.
Ms. O'Brien explained that the word strive is used because RMLD only gets involved in low-risk
sustainable energy that is available at a competitive price, since sustainable means more
expensive.
Mr. Talbot suggested increasing the target numbers and asked if the definition of sustainable still
pertains if the Renewable Energy Certificates jRECsj have been sold. There was ensuing
discussion about RECs and the definition of "renewable" and "sustainable." It was decided to
table the vote on the policy changes pending further clarification.
Ms. O'Brien then presented three requests to dissolve policies. The first, Policy No. 10 RMLD Credit
Card/Petty Cash, is covered under a Town policy. Ms. O'Men explained that the policy will be
dissolved and replaced with an Accounting Operating Procedure. Policy No. 24 Total Quality
Management is a program that was instituted in the 1990's to get employees to join working
groups. RMLD has working groups and is in the process of continuous improvement.The policy is
out of date. Policy No. 28 Severance was in case RMLD ceased to do business because it's said,
acquired, merged, or bought out. Ms. O'Brien stated she is requesting it be dissolved because
RMLD won't be sold. Ms. Parenteou explained that the policy was in response to the 1999
deregulation.

Report of the Chair-Vice Chair Talbot
Meeting of the Sub-Committee on the Payment to the Town of Reading
Vice Chair Talbot deferred to Mr. Pacino, who stated that the Sub-Committee needs to
schedule another meeting. Mr. Pacino stated that he himself has been considering freezing the
payment for the next two or three years and then base the payment amount to reflect kWh
sales.
Ms. Alvarado asked if the report on RMLD's financial long-term outlook has been released.
Ms. O'Brien explained to save money on an outside study, Ms. O'Brien prepared a report on
RMLD's projected sales and distributed if to the Board.
Releasing the study to the Select Board was discussed. Ms. O'Brien expressed concern because
the Board Members have yet to provide feedback on the study.
Mr. O'Rourke stated that releasing the study before the Board discussed its contents may cause
more confusion if the board were to ultimately make a different recommendation.
Vice Chair Talbot suggested puffing the study on next month's Agenda.
Ms. O'Brien also wanted to make it clear that the study includes recommendations but is not a
proposal to the Town.
Mr.Stempeck suggested stamping the study "Draft."
Vice Chair Talbot commented that RMLD pays the largest Town payment of any Massachusetts
municipal and that the money for the payment is coming from ratepayers. Vice Chair Talbot
stated he would like to find ways for the Town and RMLD to save money by collaborating. Ms.
Alvarado was receptive to that idea.
Mr. Pacino stated that he wants to make it clear that freezing the payment is his idea and not a
proposal.
It was agreed that Ms. Schultz would contact the sub-committee members to schedule a
meeting as soon as possible.

CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Name: Battery Storage Unit- Station 3, NR Project#: 101
Project Schedule: FY19-CY19 Project Manager: Tom 011ila, Integrated
Resources Engineer
Reason for Expenditure:
RMLD has been awarded a three-year, $1m grant from Mass Department of Energy
Resources (DOER) to install a 5 MW (10 MWh) grid scale energy storage system at the
North Reading substation to provide peak shaving services. The goal for commercial
operation date is no later than June 30, 2019. Project contracts, license agreements,
system impact study, etc., are now underway or in negotiations. A revised amount of
$20,000 has been allocated to the Capital Budget for RMLD capital expenses related to
interconnection costs associated with this project.
Brief Description/Scope:
RMLD is still in the conceptual design stages of the project. However, at this point, it is
understood that RMLD will need to install infrastructure that will allow the battery unit to
connect to the RMLD distribution system. It appears the interconnection will be directly
connected into RMLD's substation. However, in addition to this interconnection, this
project may also include additional infrastructure for the battery station service, which
may be fed overhead by a pole line nearby Station 3. The $20,000 accounts for worst-
case scenario for these potential capitals costs as RMLD works with Nextera to finalize
the design. These costs may ultimately be reimbursed by Nextera.
Barriers:
Finalizing energy storage agreement.

CY19 Budget 44 September 28,2018
CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Name: Force Account - Massachusetts Department Project#: TBD
of Transportation: Main and Hopkins, R
Project Schedule: CY19 Project Manager: Peter Price,
Senior Distribution Engineer
Reason for Expenditure:
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has notified RMLD of a project that may
be planned for CY19. We are reserving an amount in the Capital Budget for this project.
Brief Description/Scope:
MassDOT has plans to improve the traffic Flow at the intersection of Main Street and
Hopkins Street in Reading. This plan includes the widening of Main Street and the
installation of traffic signals. This project will require the RMLD to relocate up to 12 poles
and petition and install up to 3 guy poles along Main Street and Hopkins Street. This
project may require the installation of laminated poles.
Barriers:
Verizon set area. Some poles will need to be petitioned. MassDOT will need to secure
easements as needed for poles, anchors and guys at several locations. Project also
involves the relocation of the UG service to the restaurant at 107 Main Street.

CY19 Budget 45 September 28,2018
CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Name 4W5/4W12 Getaway Improvements Project#: 122
Project Schedule: FY19 -CY19 Project Manager: Manole Agouridis,
Distribution Engineer
Reason for Expenditure:
The RMLD considered combining two (2) different projects into one larger project. The first of
the two projects was to investigate and ultimately move forward with improvements to
accommodate added load at Analog. The second project was an underground getaway
maintenance project that would ultimately result in the replacement of underground getaway
cables per RMLD's underground maintenance program. The objective of this project is to
have the 4W5 and 4W12 circuits be separated from the existing south side duct bank and run
them from Station 4 to West Street overhead via the existing pole line currently being utilized
by the 4W12. This will improve the ratings of the 4W5 and 4W12 circuits drastically, while also
improving the rating of the remaining six (6) circuits in the south side duct bank due to reduced
heating.
Brief Description/Scope:
Install a cable tray system and associated hardware at Station 4. Install two (2) riser poles
within the property at Station 4, this will include the associated feeds from Station 4. Upgrade
the pole line from Station 4 to West Street, including upgrade of up to ten (10) poles, installing
four (4) new poles, and running a new circuit an estimated 1,250 feet in length. Perform all
overhead line work to be the new riser poles to the existing overhead distribution on West
Street. Also remove some Town of Reading public shade trees to accommodate a section of
the new overhead line.
Barriers:
The RMLD is currently requesting approval from the Town of Reading to remove four (4) public
shade trees. The result of this may have an effect on the scope and feasibility of the project.
Change in Scope of Work From Prior Fiscal Year: Increase (Decrease)
This project replaces the 4W5 Getaway Replacement project, which was budgeted for FY19 at
a cost of$151,894. The expanded scope of this project adds $107,903 to the project.

CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Name: 13.8kV Upgrade (Step-down Area, etc.) Project#: 107
All Towns
Project Schedule: Annual Project Manager: All Engineers
Reason for Expenditure:
There are 35 step-down areas left in the RMLD service territory. These 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, Main Street, Vine Street and
Timberneck Drive in Reading and Putnam Road, Peter Road and Anthony Road in
North Reading. Additional conversions scheduled for completion by December 2018
include Grove Street and McDonald Road in Wilmington, and Adams Street in North
Reading.

CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Name: Underground Facilities Upgrades Project#: 106
(URDs, 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 padmount 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 & corrosion of
the transformers.
Brief Description/Scope:
Replace primary and neutral cables, and padmount 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 Shasta Drive, Snowcrest Run, Aspen Road, and Colonial
Hill Drive in North Reading, Cherokee Lane, Wilmington, and Wymon Way, Lynnfeld.
The Department is working to complete Carriage Way and Turner Drive in North
Reading, Marion Street Wilmington, Westover Drive, Maddison Lane, and Essex
Village, Lynnfield in FY19.
