Pacino, Secretary Pro Tem Topics of Discussion: Call Meeting to Order Chair Talbot called the meeting to order and read RMLD's Code of Conduct. Chair Talbot announced that the meeting is being videotaped at the RMLD office at 230 Ash Street, for distribution to the community television stations in North Reading, Lynnfield, and Wilmington. Public Comment Chair Talbot asked Mr.Pacino to serve as Board Secretary.There was no Citizens'Advisory Board member in attendance and no public comment. Prmentaitcn of the 2018 Audit Mr. Fentress, from Melanson& Heath, introduced himself and explained his firm conducted a six- month audit for the period ending December 31, 2018 due to RMLD's moving from a fiscal year to a calendar year. Mr. Fentress stated that the Department has positive operating results and is in a strong financial position and has a well-funded Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) trust fund. The audit did not result in a management letter. The Department received a clean opinion, which is the best opinion that can be received from an independent auditing fine. It's the same opinion that the Department has received in prior years. Mr. Fentross then discussed the Statement of Net Position.The asset and liability figures from December 31 to June 30 are, for the most part, comparable. One difference was receivables net of uncollectible, which decreased$1.6 million from June 30,2018.The reason for this is the calculation of the Page I s PrexnloRon of the 2018 Audit Department's unbilled receivables. July bills include a lot of AC use so the revenues that the Department receives in July are typically higher than the revenues received in January. There was a corresponding reduction In the estimation of receivables. Moving forward that figure will be more comparable from year to year. Mr. Fentross then discussed net pension liobifty,stating that it has a balance of about$10.781,000.This represents the Department's portion of the total unfunded liability of the Rending Contributory Retirement System. The Deportment's portion of that total unfunded liability is about 29 percent. The contributory retirement system is about 79 Percent funded.The average in the Commonwealth Is 70 percent W Reading is above average in its funding. Mr. Fentross reminded the Commissioners that the Department has set aside some funds to help fund the liability. The pension trust has a balance of $5,878,000. According to accounting standards, that cannot reduce the liability that's presented, because It's not in the control of the contributory retirement system. However, considering the funds set aside, the Department's true liability is about $4.9 million. Mr. Fentross then discussed the Net OPEB liability, which has a balance of$7,374,000.When the Department moved from a June 30 year end to a December 31 year end, the actuaries produced new reports. and there was on increase of $215,000. Mr. Fentross then moved on to the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position.The figures presented are only for a six-month period. However,as part of the audit, the auditors doubled the six-month figures and then compared them to 12-month periods: Fiscal Year 18 and Fiscal Year 17 were comparable. Mr. Fentross then stated that the change in net position has a balance of $4,891,000. The Department had strong operating results and that figure reflects that. The Department of Public Utilities staled that eight percent rate of return is okay for a six-month period, and the Department is below eight percent. The Statement of Fiduciary Net Position is where the OPEB trust fund is presented. It has a balance of$3.561,000. These are the assets that hove been set aside to fund the other post-employment benefits. In 20181he total OPEB liability was$10.705.000. However, the Deportment hos put aside$3,561,000 towards funding that liability, which leoves a total unfunded liability of $7,144,000. It is about 33 percent funded, which is a strong position for the Deportment to be in. When comparing the OPEB liability to towns, towns we generally well below ten percent funded. Other light departments are anywhere between 25 to 40 percent,so to be at 33 percent is a strong position for the Department. Mr. Fentross concluded by stating that the Department hod positive operating results, has a welf-funded OPEB trust fund,and there was no management letter. Report of the Audit Committee Mr. Pacino stated that the Town and the Board's Audit Committees met and heard the same presentation from Mr. Fentross earlier in the evening. Both committees voted to recommend that the Commission accept the audit as presented. Mr. Pacino asked Mr. Fentross if he thinks the new lease standard will have any effect on RMLD. Mr. Fentross explained that the leases are currently presented in a note disclosure. Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement number 87 is not going to come into effect until 2020.Mr.Fentross stated that the auditors will be working with management.Mr. Pacino then asked about key audit matters,and whether that is something that the Board should consider. Mr. Pacino explained that it would be a separate paragraph in the opinion letter reporting anything that's risky. Mr. Fentross staled that he is unaware of that, but as for as anything risky, there was nothing In the audit that would warrant that disclosure. If there was something that could be improved or if the Department was engaged in a risky transaction, that would have been addressed in a management letter. Mr. O'Rourke asked Mr. Fentross to talk about cash on hand. Mr. Fentross explained that the industry standard is to have three months of operating cash on hand. RMLD has about 2.6 months,which is a little lower, but as of June 30,2018 the ratio was at 2.3 months:the Deportment is trending in the right direction. Ms. Herrick asked if there were industry standards far the different accounts listed, such as depreciation and rate stabilization. Chair Talbot clarified that Ms. Herrick was asking if there were standards and where RMLD fits. Chair Talbot then asked Mr. Fentross if he represents other light plants. Mr. Fentross replied that he audits six municipal light plants a year and that as far as restricted cash, he is unaware of any industry standards, Mr. Fentross added that compared to the other light departments that he has looked at, RMLD's cash position is better. Mr. Fentross stated he could not compare RMLD to other departments byline item at the r+9e 12 Report of the Audit Committee current time but could do an analysis. Ms. O'Brien stated that she can write an explanation of how the amounts are established.Ms.O'Brien explained that it's difficult to compare to other municipals because they don't have the same types of transactions. Chair Talbot suggested that Ms.Herrick email Ms. O'Brien clarifying her question. Mr. Pacino made a motion,seconded by Mr. Hennessy,that the Board of Commissioners accept the Audit Report from Melonson Heath, Fiscal Period ending December 31, 2018 as presented, on the recommendation of the General Manager, Motion Canted:5:0:0. General Manager's Report Ms. O'Brien requested that the Board allow her to attend the NEPPA conference in New Hampshire. Mr. Stempeck made a motion, seconded by Mr. Pacino, that the Board approve Ms. O'Bren's travel to, and attendance at,the NEPPA conference to take place from August 18 to August 21, in Bretton Woods, NH.

Minutes Respectfully Submitted By: John Stempeck, Secretary Pro Tem Topics of Discussion: Call Meeting to Order Chair Talbot called the meeting to order and read RMLD's Code of Conduct. Chair Talbot announced that the meeting is being videotaped at the RMLD office at 230 Ash Street, for distribution to the community television stations in North Reading, Lynnfield,and Wilmington. Public Comment Chair Talbot asked Mr.Pacino to serve as Board Secretary.There was no Citizens' Advisory Board member in attendance and no public comment. page I I Sola Workshop-presentation and public dialogue(main boardroom) a. Introduction and Purpose at Workshop Chair Talbot explained that the purpose of the meeting is to engage with the public regarding solar generation. Is. Presentation 1.Solar Economics and Impacts Mr. Underhill discussed solar economics, including fitting solar to the load profile, distribution options, the cost per watt and federal, state, and RMLD incentives. Solar impacts, including weather, capacity and transmission peaks, phantom load, and system efficiency were reviewed,as well as the effects of shade, panel location and panel orientation. Solar goals and objectives. 2.System Examples Mr.Underhill explained the components of a solar system. 3.RMLD Solar Goals and Objectives Mr. Underhill discussed providing ratepayers with opportunities, meeting legislative objectives, developing sustainable rates,and minimizing adverse consequences. C. Current RMLD and other Sola Programs RMLD's current offerings were reviewed,Including Solar Choice. d. Public Dialogue and GLA Period Mr. Dockser of Reading asked how to move forward with determining solar potential for municipalities. Mr. Underhill explained that town buildings would be examined to determine suitable rooftops for solar installation. RMLD could assist with behind4he-meter generation by developing a lease structure. If the towns express interest, RMLD would put together a proposal. The larger the scale and the more communities that participate, the more likely RMLD is to find suitable sites. Mr. Dockser asked how communities would communicate their interest. Chair Talbot stated the Select Board could let the RMLD Board know. Ms. Alvarado of Reading clarified that there are no current solar installations on municipal buildings In any of the four communities. Chair Talbot affirmed. Ms. Alvarado asked what an ideal solar installation would look like and the number of kilowatt hours that RMLD would like to see coming from municipal installments.Mr.Underhill explained an optimal site would be a two-story building with a fiat roof and no surrounding trees. Ms. O'Brien asked if the MLP incentive was based on location. Mr. Underhill explained that the incentive is paid based on the sae of the project. The location determines whether the project passes a minimum requirement threshold. Mr. Coram added that if the installation is done in a shaded area, while you would get the rebate for the installation, the payback time would be longer than seven years because of less power generation. Mr. Underhill affirmed. Mr. Sawyer of Wilmington asked for clarification on what is considered a municipal property and whether a project could be done on a leased property. Mr. Underhill replied that it could If the landlord was amenable. Mr.Soni asked about the fifteen percent limit on each feeder. Mr. Underhill explained that was established by the Department of Energy as a conservative estimate as to how much solar a distribution system can handle. Mr. Jaffan explained that a persite system Impact study is performed to determine how much current the system can handle before it is negatively impacted. Ms. Conyers from Reading asked what the first step is. Mr. Underhill explained residents can contact installers if they are planning on buying the solar system. Then, residents should go on the Energy New England website and begin the application process for the system rebate. The system site will then be evaluated for feasibility. Mr. Covey of North Reading stated that he has solar on his home and he has been in the solar industry for about a decade. Mr.Covey clarified that RMLD does not have net metering and Instead has live bi-directional metering and stated that he hopes RMLD transitions to the former. Mr. Covey stated that the payback period would be eleven years according to his calculations. Mr. Underhill explained that the six-and-c-half- year period he referenced includes RMLD's buyback energy rate, which is the market energy offset price at four cents a kilowatt hour. Mr. Underhill stated that net metering-same in and same out- is not sustainable. Mr. Underhill stated that RMLD doesn't make a profit but needs to maintain its electric system. Chair Talbot asked for future clarification about how RMLD stands with other municipals and its solar.Mr. Underhill stated that he can pull that information and that he knows other municipals don't offer an installation incentive. nage 12 d. Public Dialogue and OLA Period Mr.Stempeck added that RMLD has rates that are much lower than National Grid or Eversource. Mr.Grier of North Reading asked where RMLD is at with storage. Chair Talbot mentioned RMLD's grant for a grid battery. Mr. Underhill stated that there are no economically functional batteries at this point.Mr. Underhill mentioned the Tesla Wall and Mr.Stempeck stated that he had looked into it a few years ago and was given a quote of$37,000 for the battery packs.A citizen (name undecipherable( stated that, per his cell search,a power wall costs$7,800 per waft and it stores 4 kilowatts and you install two or three. That price includes installation. Mr. Underhill asked how many hours of storage that provides.The citizen was unsure and asked if the rebate applies to a power wall. Mr. Underhill explained its only for the solar system. Mr. Hikode stated that he works for Revision Energy in North Andover and stated that one Power Woll is thirteen and a halt kilowatt hours of usable storage.The average household uses between 21 and 27 kilowatt hours per day.The Power Wall has five kilowatts of continuous output for 2.7 hours. Mr. Rogers of Reading presented slides that he had prepared for the meeting (unsolicited). The slides addressed residential solar adoption rates and homeowner savings. Mr. Sawyer of Wilmington stated that he is a tax preparer and that most of his clients who have solar lease it due to the high purchase price. Mr. Sawyer stated that he believes RMLD has such low solar penetration because customers only have the option to buy. Mr. Underhill explained that RMLD has a Solar Choice option far people who don't have large upfront resources available. A citizen from North Reading asked about maintenance of the solar panels. Mr. Underhill explained that if the panels are behind the meter, they are the customer's responsibility. Mr. MacKenzie of Reading asked if rooftop solar can power a furnace or a refrigerator if the power goes out. Mr. MacKenzie stated that he had looked into if years ago and there was no reasonably priced equipment to disconnect the house from the grid. Mr. Underhill stated that a solar system will not stay on in the event of on outage due to safety...Mr. Kikode stated that the Tesla energy gateway will isolate from the grid and allow the solar array to power your battery. It works the some way a generator relay works so it isolates the grid to prevent backfeeding. Mr. Underhill stated that's applicable with the introduction of a battery system: that's more than just a solar system. Mr, Conlon from Dracut stated he is a solar installer and an electrician. Mr. Conlon stated that the most important piece of maintenance for solar is keeping trees cut back to prevent shade and defer squirrels. Mr. Conlon stated that there are systems that will function when the power goes down.There's a type of inverter that allows 2,000 watts when the sun is shining.Mr. Kracke from Reading asked for an explanation what the issues are with phantom loads. Mr.Underhill stated that the system needs to be sized according to how much electric is needed:solar behind the meter is Invisible. Chair Talbot thanked the crowd for their attendance and participation.

Each node will require an enclosure, a fiber optic interface, a power supply, cabling,fiber optic cable, and the termination of the fiber optic cable. Brief Description/Scope: Purchase materials and procure fiber optic cable splicers as needed. Barriers: None anticipated at this time. Change in Scope of Work From Prior Fiscal Year: Status Update: Nodes were anticipated, but not required in FY19 because we were able to expand the communication system by using SpeedNet radios to communicate with the Scads- Mate switches. As distribution automation equipment is installed further away from the fiber optic loop, the Department will need to expand the fiber optic network to establish communications with the devices that are planned for installation in FY20 and beyond. 2020 Budget September 30,2019 Page 79 CAPITAL PROIECr COST SHEET RRWFR NMIE: cunmunbNon YWmmmdlFlbvamwl SCNFWIF: Mo IASOR arn.awi 37'.- oFscNmoxuix R.M M. roru uxuun.o.e a.rn M...mxm.b..b KeR fob m m m u.m°Mxssoq nw..rm,mwnd m..Mdwn 4.mm sumo m m m Mmxomnm,e,b-m m.m mm m m m ,.wn r.�+�.,°emuroebi�r" Ma msm.
