Ms. Kearns stated that the committee met prior to this Board meeting in which the vote that was taken: Mr. Soli made a
motion seconded by Ms. Kearns that a score of 142.38 out of 151 or 94.3% would yield a pay raise of 4% for the General

General Manager's Report
Attendance at MEAM General Managers Business Meeting April 16 and April 17, Sea Crest, North Falmouth, MA
Mr. Cameron stated that he attends the MEAM General Managers Business annually, however, offered to pay for the hotel
room.
The sense of the Board was that Mr. Cameron should not personally pay for either his hotel room or the conference. These
expenses should be paid by RMLD
Chair Hahn made a motion seconded by Ms. Kearns that the Board approve the General Manager's attendance at MEAM
General Managers Business Meeting April 16 and April 17, Sea Crest, North Falmouth, MA.
Motion carried 5:0:0.
Mr. Cameron reported that RMLD's Customer Service Manager, Laurie Cavagnaro will be the recipient of the Reading-North
Reading Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award and that a dinner will be held at the Hillview
Country Club on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. to present this award.
Mr. Cameron stated that the ACCCP's Third Annual Earth Day Fair will be held at RMLD Saturday, April 4, 11:00 am. to
3:00 p.m.
Financial Report February 2009
Mr. Fournier apologized to the Board on the tardiness of the Financial Report. Mr. Fournier reported for the first eight
months ending - February 28, 2009, the results were positive. Mr. Fournier reported that the Purchase Power costs are
estimated which will true up with the March numbers. Mr. Fournier said that there were no major incidents or out of the
ordinary expenditures.
Chair Hahn had a clarifying question; was some of the information in the Financials as well as in the Power Supply report
estimated?
Mr. Fournier replied that this is correct.
Mr. Fournier stated that the Department was profitable by $721,000, which resulted in a year to date Net Income of $4.1
million. The reforecasted Net Income for this period $3.7 million resulting in Net Income being over budget by $330,000.
The fuel Revenue exceeded expenses by $2.1 million.
Mr. Fournier replied that looking at the reforecasted revenue fuel number at $41.9 million it is a $1.4 million swing on that
versus the $40.5 million expense making the change in Net Assets excluding fuel $2 million and revenues $2.4 million on the
reforecast figures. It is a pass through when all is said and done. Mr. Fournier reported that Base Revenues were over budget
by $600,000 or 2.2%. Actual Base Revenues were at $26.9 million versus $26.3 million.
Purchase Power Base Expense was $676,000 or 4.2% over budget due to increases in transmission and capacity costs. Actual
Purchased Power Base Costs were at $16.8 million compared to the budgeted amount of $16.1 million.
The Operating and Maintenance Expense $6.1 million, Capital Fund $4.9 million, Rate Stabilization Fund $6.2 million and
the Deferred Fuel Cash Reserve balance is $3 million.
Mr. Fournier reported that the Capital and Operating budgets are due to the Citizens' Advisory Board by the end of the
month.
Mr. Fournier said that Chair Hahn had e-mailed him questions earlier in the day that he will be forwarding to all the
Commissioners.
Mr. Fournier commented that the Account Receivables are $500,000 over sixty days, which is 8.5%. The credit and
collection letters should be going out this week and it is hoped that the receivables will be down in the future, but it has been
a tough year.
Mr. Fournier said that compared to last year, which was in double digits, this year the Credit and Collections Department has
kept the receivables down.

Power Supply Report for the month of February 2009
Ms. Parenteau commented that RMLD lowered the Fuel Charge Adjustment for March to $.064 and anticipates to further
reduce the Fuel Charge Adjustment in April to $.059/kWh and anticipates that this will stabilize. Some of the $3 million in
the Deferred Fuel Reserve will be used in March and April to reduce the Fuel Charge Adjustment. The affect of this is the
Deferred Fuel Cash Reserve will be at a $2.0 to $2.3 million level.
Mr. Soli asked in Table 1 the kilowatt hours are used to estimate the cost, is that correct?
Ms. Parenteau replied that the rate and the power energy costs were estimated because the last two months MMWEC has
been late, which is out of the RMLD's control
Ms. Parenteau said that in February the RMLD purchased 13.4% of its requirements from the ISO New England spot market.
The market has significantly decreased from January to February.
Ms. Parenteau stated that prices in the Day Ahead Market are down 30% and the Real Time is down 27%. RMLD hit a
demand of 107.19 megawatts on February 3 at 7:00 p.m. This compares to a demand of 108.7 that occurred in the previous
year, February 11 at 7:00 p.m. RMLD's requirement for February was 226 megawatts. The RMLD paid $1.45 million in
capacity costs that is equivalent to $6.40/kilowatt month. The RMLD paid $502,000 for transmission costs for February
2009.
Agreed-Upon Procedures for the Calculation and Recording of PASNY Credit
Mr. Seldon reported that the RMLD obtained the services of Melanson Heath & Company, PC to evaluate the calculation of
the PASNY credit as requested by the Board. The report concluded that the methodology the RMLD utilizes to calculate the
PASNY as a credit is reasonable and appropriate. The report does recommend that the RMLD modify how RMLD accounts
for the PASNY credit on its books. Mr. Seldon said that other utilities calculate the PASNY using an alternative method. A
legitimate argument could be made for calculating the PASNY credit by either alternative.
The Board requested that at the last Board meeting that staff compare the PASNY credit using both methodologies. Mr.
Seldon reported that the staff calculated the PASNY credit with 2008 as the test year using both methodologies and found that
the RMLD's method proved to give the customer a better credit for ten out of the twelve months.
Chair Hahn commented that the methodology the RMLD uses for the PASNY credit results in lower bills than the alternative
method.
Ms. Kearns said that it is important to note in the Melanson Heath report that the RMLD calculation achieves two things: 1.
the residential customers get the benefit of the lower PASNY costs, and 2. rates are sufficient enough to cover overall costs,
the current calculation is reasonable and appropriate.
Mr. Soli said that neither Mr. Seldon's report nor Melanson Heath's meets the requirement of the Federal Regulatory
Commission that reauthorized the New York Power Authority that power provided to adjacent states in New York that this
power shall be for residential use only and shall be provided at the lowest possible costs.
Mr. Soli commented that for three months last year, the residential customers subsidized everybody else for $100,000 a
month on the Fuel Charge.
Mr. Soli used several charts to shows how he believes the RMLD should do the PASNY credit and to point why he thinks the
RMLD's PASNY Credit methodology is flawed. Mr. Soli suggested that the Board take action to make sure we get in
compliance with the FERC order.
Mr. Pacino pointed out to Mr. Soli that it is unfair to present material without having staff look at this information because it
does not give the Department the opportunity to do their homework and that it is inappropriate. Furthermore, to make
accusations that the Department is violating laws is upsetting. Mr. Pacino said that Mr. Soli did not share the material in
advance so that the Board and Staff could do homework on it. Mr. Pacino stated that he has been on the Board for twenty-
two years but is unsure of what Mr. Soli is talking about in his presentation. Mr. Pacino reiterated that this material should be
shared in advance.
Chair Hahn said that he echoes Mr. Pacino's comments.
