Preliminary content and design ideas for the 2004 Annual Report were discussed. Ms. Kearns
suggested a letter to RMLD customers with the General Manager's signature to introduce the
Report. She would also like to see new construction projects mentioned.
In addition, Mr. Herlihy wants to focus on the future - capital plan and construction highlights.
He suggested pictures of construction projects overlaid on a map of our territory.
Mr. Cameron talked about future plans. The system will be upgraded and the Lynnfield
substation will be decommissioned. Large feeders need work. Plans to make the RMLD system
more reliable are being initiated to include a potential 1.6% load growth for the next few years.
Mr. Cameron stated the golden triangle is customer service, stable rates and reliability.
Ms. Kearns and Mr. Herlihy thought the message we should send is investing in the future and in
the community.
Mr. Herlihy would like the pie chart for energy sources used in last year's report to again be
included in a larger graphic for the 2004 Report to meet the Town's request.
Individual headshots of the commissioners will be included in the Annual Report, adjacent to the
letter from the General Manager.
Ms. Kearns recommended the Annual Report refer to the future and try to stay conservative.
The Annual Report is to be delivered to RMLD before the April 25, 2005, Town Meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Priscilla Gottwald
