General Manager's Report—Mr.Cameron
Mr. Cameron reported on the following:
Residential Customer Survey
Mr. Cameron explained that the Board has received an e-mail informing them of the RMLD survey for residential customers.
The residential customer survey began in February with 400 of RMLD's customers being called.
RMLD Update Sheets
The RMLD red update forms were inserted in the February residential billings and have had a good response. Any
residential customers that would like to update their information can fill out the update and return it when they pay their bill
or complete the information online using RMLD's website. The RMLD, in the future, would like to send RMLD customer
bills online(paperless billing)to its customers therefore providing this information will enable this transition.
Snow Removal
Mr. Cameron reported that the RMLD has spent approximately$43,000 year to date in snow removal which includes clearing
off the roof at 230 Ash Street which had a quite a bit of snow on it.
New Citizens' Advisory Board Representative—Reading

Board Power and Rate Committee. The projected dates for the meetings would be after.Monday, March 21. Mr. Hahn
mentioned he would not be available for this meeting date; however, the committee could meet without him. Mr. Cameron
said that Ms.Foti will coordinate the meeting.
Chairman O'Neill asked relative to Mr. Cameron's visit to Washington, DC what NEPPA's issues are and what New --
England issues will be discussed with representatives. Mr. Cameron responded that it appears that some transmission
projects are being given their incentive rates without a lot of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission(FERC)oversight as to
the nature of the transmission whether it is upgrades,additions,transmission for renewable projects,they want to speak to the
congressional representatives on that issue. Mr. Cameron said that there is some question whether renewable energy bonds
are going to be extended and how much money they are going to provide for clean renewable energy bonds for renewable
energy projects. The Forward Capacity Market is in a state of flux, in New England they are looking at a two tiered system
and this is another FERC oversight issue.
Mr. Hahn wanted to clarify whether the RMLD has someone that watches FERC issues with five or six municipals banding
together. Mr. Cameron said that John Coyle, Esquire, of Duncan & Allen handles these kinds of matters. Mr. Hahn
commented this will give Mr. Cameron the opportunity to discuss the current cost allocation.
Mr. Cameron stated that he will prepare a memo to the Board once he comes back from the APPA Legislative Rally. Mr.
Soli asked what dates are for the APPA Legislative Rally. Mr. Cameron replied,Monday,February 28 to Wednesday,March
2.

Financial Report—January 2011—Mr.Cameron(Attachment 1)
Ms. Snyder asked about the receivables where there is a big difference between this year and last year's and whether this is
ie to increased collections. Mr. Cameron replied that$10.4 million versus$8.4 is due to the concerted collection efforts at
RMLD.
Ms. Snyder asked about the Purchase Power Capacity- there is a large decrease year to date. Mr. Cameron explained that
with the FY 11 Cost of Service Study,FY 11 Purchased Power Capacity costs were rolled into the Base Rates for FY 12.
Chairman O'Neill asked whether employee benefits reflects year to date numbers. Mr. Cameron confirmed that it does
reflect year to date numbers.
Power Supply Report—January 2011—Ms.Parenteau(Attachment 2)
Ms.Parenteau reported on the Power Supply Report for January 2011. Ms.Parenteau reported that RMLD's load for January
was 62.5 million kilowatt hours which was a 2% increase compared to January 2010. Energy costs were$3.6 million which
is equivalent to $.058 per kilowatt hour. In January, the Fuel Charge Adjustment was $.059 per kilowatt hour. RMLD's
sales in January were 61.5 million kilowatt hours. In January the RMLD under collected by$51,000,resulting in a Deferred
Fuel Cash Reserve balance of$2.4 million. Ms. Parenteau said that in February the Fuel Charge Adjustment was decreased
by $.003 to $.056 per kilowatt hour and currently the forecast is that it will remain unchanged for March. Ms. Parenteau
reported that the RMLD purchased approximately 20%of its energy requirement from the ISO Spot Market with the average
cost of$.065per kilowatt hour. The RMLD hit a demand of 112 megawatts on January 24,2011 at 7:00 p.m.compared to the
peak of 107 megawatts which occurred in January 4,2010 at 6:00 p.m. The RMLD's monthly capacity requirement was 205
megawatts. The RMLD paid$1.5 million for capacity which is equivalent to$7.28 per kilowatt month.
Ms. Parenteau said that she owes the Board an explanation on the Braintree/Watson Unit charges; this is currently with the
General Manager for review and will be to the Board by Friday.
Mr. Soli asked on Table 2 if items such as DA and LMP could be spelled out. Ms. Parenteau said that those items can be
spelled out. Mr. Soli inquired if the ISO Interchange on Table 2 was the same number on Table 1. Ms.Parenteau explained
'hat there are two markets, one of which is the Day Ahead Market(DA) which is a financially settled market based on what
'`e RMLD forecasts for load. The RMLD submits what it anticipates its hourly projected loads will be based on weather and
.,istoncal information and that gets submitted daily to the ISO with price parameters for what RMLD is willing to pay for
energy. The Real Time market is used to fulfill the energy requirement of the RMLD system. The ISO schedules generators
to come on line based on prices in the Real Time. The actual Real Time load that was projected in the Day Ahead market
may be higher or lower. At the end of the month there is a portfolio of resources used that are from both the Day Ahead and
Real Time markets. The portfolio gets settled through the ISO at the end of the month. This is what the two lines represent.
Mr. Soli asked if the third line is a summation of the other two lines. Ms. Parenteau replied, no, it is a more complex
calculation than that, and is a sum based on the dollars however; the total load is the sum of the Day Ahead and Real Time
markets.
Ms. Parenteau reported that the RMLD's transmission costs for January were $754,000 which is a 20% increase from
December. Ms. Parenteau explained that the increase was due to a demand increase of 5% (112 megawatts to the 106
megawatts)as well as a rate increase of the RNS rate($5 to$5.50 per kilowatt month.)
Mr. Hahn asked if the RMLD tracks degree days. Ms. Parenteau replied that they do track degree days. Mr.Hahn asked if it
has been considerably colder for the winter this year. Ms. Parenteau said that she will provide Mr. Hahn with that
information. Chairman O'Neill asked about the significance of this data. Mr.Hahn responded that sales go up because of the
colder temperatures however, some economic growth contributed to increased sales as well. Ms Parenteau said that the
increase of sales is most likely a combination of those factors.
Mr. Norton said that he would like to compliment Ms. Parenteau and her department for the two recent contracts with
Concord Power and Steam, LLC as well as Swift River Trading Company, LLC. Mr. Norton said that he had conveyed to
Mr. Cameron that the Citizens' Advisory Board and the RMLD Board have been seeking contracts with renewable energy.
Mr.Norton pointed out that Ms.Parenteau and her staff spent a lot of time researching these types of contracts and wanted to
compliment them for a job well done.
Parenteau provided an update that in January following the RMLD Board meeting,the RMLD did sign a purchase power
Infract with Concord Steam with the project coming online in December 2012 or January 2013.
February 23,2011
Power Supply Report—January 2011—Ms.Parenteau(Attachment 2)
Ms. Parenteau reported that the RMLD is in the process of finalizing the contract with Swift River Hydro and currently
anticipate that the agreement will be signed in early March 2011 to be effective April 1, 2011. In addition, the RMLD is
currently looking at the pricing of three separate long term contracts for base load units or units that have low heat rates or
inexpensive fuel charge. There would be a corresponding capacity charge. The RMLD is endeavoring to potentially stabilize
fuel pricing. Chairman O'Neill asked what the base load units are fueled by. Ms.Parenteau replied natural gas.
Engineering and Operations Report—January 2011-Mr. Sullivan(Attachment 3)
Mr. Sullivan reported on the Engineering and Operations Report for January 2011.
Mr. Sullivan said that with the scheduled and tangible milestones the RMLD is almost finished with the Gaw project. Mr.
Sullivan reported that they are waiting for the transfer scheme to be completed with an anticipated completion date of early
March. Mr. Sullivan reported that the changes this month are to the feeder reassignment work.
Mr. Sullivan stated that in reference to the Gaw project this month there is $199,000 in capital costs, $186,000 of which
represents contract labor, $9,000 RMLD labor and $4,000 feeder reassignment. Mr. Sullivan reported that the cost of the
Gaw upgrade project is$6.84 million.
Mr. Sullivan said that the soil remediation number is at$2.438 million. Mr. Sullivan reported that the soil samples came back
as non detects. Mr. Sullivan commented that a project close out will take place at the beginning of March.
Mr. Sullivan commented on the following projects worked on during the month: Project 4 Boutwell Street—will be closed
out next month; Project 7 URD Completion—will be closed out next month;Project 23 15kV Circuit Breaker Replacement-
will be done soon;Project 36 3W8 Salem Street&Baystate Road-in process;and Project 37 Elm Street—in process.
Mr. Sullivan said that on the service installations on the residential side there were approximately 40 services and on the
commercial side there were two services. In routine construction there were 35 cutouts replaced making a total of 258 for
fiscal year 2011.
Mr. Sullivan reported on the Reliability Report. The Customer Average Interruption Duration Index(CAIDI)rolling average
for the month is up to 15.7 minutes for the month; however,this is largely due to 286 customers being affected by an outage
in January. That coupled with the difficult trouble analysis in a snowstorm lead to that increase. The CAIDI rolling average
is up by 2.6 minutes. The System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) stayed the same, the rolling average
decreased to 1.25. The Months between Interruptions (MBTI) is up significantly to 19.05 months for customers on the
system.
Mr. Sullivan provided an update on the reliability statistics number: number of calls 109, outage incidents 18, customers
affected 286, feeder outages 0, area outages 9, and service outages 9 with the causes of outages remaining the same with tree
conditions,animals,bad connectors and failed hardware.
Chairman O'Neill asked.Mr. Sullivan for an update on the meter replacement project. Mr. Sullivan replied that 2,000 meters
have been changed out and they are on schedule. However,they are likely to have to cut back in the month of March due to
the difficult access through the snow because the meter change outs will be at individual residences.
Chairman O'Neill commented that the CAIDI number is going up. Mr. Sullivan explained that what has happened is that the
numbers of customers is getting smaller, in December there were 267 and January286 did not have service. Based on the
fact the numbers are smaller, it results in a higher CAIDI even if there is one incident. Mr. Sullivan said that 200 out of 286
customers were out on a January 12 snowstorm which involved clearing limbs to trouble shoot the outage. The problem was
with the fuse although there was no initial indication of this because the door to the cutout did not open. Chairman O'Neill
asked if this was an old cutout. Mr. Sullivan responded that it does not matter because, although it's rare, these things
happen. Mr. Hahn asked if this could not be detected visually. Mr. Cameron responded that the cutout didn't open so you
couldn't see it and they had to go back out to find it.
General Discussion
Chairman O'Neill stated that she wants to get a Policy Committee meeting together in March. Chairman O'Neill said that
she would like to get an environmental policy statement together and then look how to proceed with that.
February 23,2011
General Discussion
Chairman O'Neill said that she received a report from Mr. Cameron on Public Relations and would like it on the agenda for
next meeting. Chairman O'Neill commented that she would like the public relations program looked at, for example,
at we would like to emphasize and bringing in the new components. Chairman O'Neill stated that she would like to
review the RMLD's website and how it is managed needs to be looked at as well as how it is kept up to date. Mr. Cameron
pointed out there is no Public Relations Committee, Chairman O'Neill said that the Public Relations Committee was not
assigned this year but it was abolished. Chairman O'Neill said that the Board can decide if they want to assign this to a
committee.
Chairman O'Neill said that at the next meeting, Mr. Carpenter will be presenting his Quarterly Energy Efficiency update.
Ms. Snyder mentioned that she had spoken to Mr. Carpenter who had entered the RMLD's information into the Energy Star
portfolio manager and the building did not rate well and such a low score indicates that there should be many opportunities to
improve the energy efficiency of the building. Ms. Snyder would like to have Mr. Carpenter address this in his presentation-
what can be done to make the building more energy efficient.
Chairman O'Neill passed out a document she received from a Reading resident and Town meeting member and asked if Mr.
Carpenter would in rporate those issues during his presentation at the March meeting.

Upcoming Meetings
Wednesday,March 30,2011 and April 27,2011
Chairman O'Neill stated that the RMLD Board meeting in April is after the town election in which the Board reorganizes.
Chairman O'Neill said that she has one concern relative to the committees because the budget process will have started and
how will that affect committee assignments, for example the Budget Committee will have begun meeting. Ms. Snyder said
,at other town boards and committees reorganize with the fiscal year, and since the budget process will be completed at that
,he if might make sense to re-organize on the same schedule as other town boards. Mr.Hahn pointed out that the election is
the first Tuesday in April that is why the Board reorganizes in April and he didn't feel it would be a problem for the budget
committee.

Reliability Report
Two key industry standard metrics have been identified to enable the RMLD to measure and
track system reliability. A rolling 12-month view is being used for the purposes of this report.
Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) — Measures how quickly the
RMLD restores power to customers when their power goes out.
CAIDI = Total of Customer Interruption Duration for the Month in Minutes/ Total
number of customers interrupted.
RMLD 12 month system average outage duration — 48.92 minutes
RMLD 4 year average outage (2006-2009) — 50.98 minutes per outage
On average, RMLD customers that experience an outage are restored in 48.92 minutes.

System Average Interruption Frequency (SAIFI) — Measures how many outages each
customer experiences per year on average.
SAIFI = Total number of customer's interrupted /Total number of customers.
RMLD 12 month system average - .63 outages per year
RMLD 4 year average outage frequency - .82

1. AT+T- Perhaps we should get rid of the 800#, there were no calls + it seems to get late charges +
there's many cell phones.
I will look into the 800 number.
2. JCM Realty -Why doesn't electric total match what is on bill? (+ shouldn't we be paying on time to
get our discount?)
JCM pays the discounted amount on RMLD bills. We reimburse them for 66% of the electric cost. The
amount for the electric bill represents the discounted amount for each bill ((920.53+43.18)*.66)=636.05.

1. WESCO -2 invoices for 4 flood lights dated the same day-were these separate shipments?
(invoice 29003 + 29005)
These are two separate streetlight orders with the same invoice date. The RMLD PO 11-E00173, which
is attached to WESCO invoice 290025, states the order was placed on 11/24/10 for four 400 watt
floodlights. RMLD PO 11-E00243, which is attached to WESCO invoice 290023, states the order was
placed on 12/17/10 for twenty 400 watt floods in addition to 50 watt and 100 watt streetlights.

1. Office Team -Why did we need these services?
We are short handed in Facilities and need temporary help. This is the company we contracted with to
supply the temp. help.
Snyder
1. Century- Is the new"e-pay"the Board approved a few months ago going to replace this? + When
will that begin?
In March.
2. Reading Sq. Auto body-What happened to this vehicle?
The truck hit a front loader during snow plow operations.
3. P.O. Question - Shouldn't PO's be done prior to the work? + one of 2 of 2 Stoneham Motor PO
indicator created 1/26 signed 1/25.
Sometimes the work is estimated and performed and the PO is cut. The PO was dated 1/26 incorrectly.
It should have been 1/25. It has been corrected.
Snyder
1. MMWEC-Why does the remittance cost indicate "VOID VOID VOID VOID under wire transfer? +
Totals in attachment(last 2 pgs)don't match billings?
This occurs because there is no address on the front page. Void, void void is where the address would
go.
There are two payments for the Power Sales Agreements. One is for$229,023.59 for the Peaking and
Intermediate Projects and is sent to the MMWEC Zero Balance Account. The other payment is
$827,178.80, and sent to the MMWEC Trustee Revenue Fund Account for the Millstone/Seabrook
Projects. The difference between the two payments is that there are outstanding bonds for the
Millstone/Seabrook projects.
2. Cameron - I thought we signed off on the table skirt last week? Is this another one?
A Board Member signed off on the weekend of 2,15-6/11. It was then put into the payables for this past
week. There are checks and balances in the RMLD accounts payable process that prevent a bill from
being paid twice.

Excerpt from E-Mail from Reading Resident and Town Meeting Member Dave Talbot
to Commissioner Mary Ellen O'Neill
February 21, 2011
"Three ideas:
1. Electric water heaters.
I would love to see RMLD wage a campaign to banish the electric-powered hot water
heater from the district Of course you'll never get rid of all of them. But they are
responsible for four to five times as much CO2 emissions than just directly using
gas.(As you know there are huge system losses involved in producing electricity
from fossil fuels- mainly at the power plant, where 60 to 70 percent of the energy
goes up the chimney as waste heat. In a house,that heat would be directly heating
the water.) I would guess that electric water heaters make up a noticeable fraction
of all load in the RMLD's zone. Maybe 5 or 10 percent? Do you have this data?
Anyway,people who have electric water heaters should switch to gas heaters --
ideally tankless ones - and it would be worth offering extra subsidies to achieve this
goal. People who don't have available gas service would ideally be offered RMLD-
amortized programs to install solar hot-water heaters. These are not photovoltaics
-just black boxes on roofs. Yes they cost$10,000 or more to put in. But then they
save$40 or more a month in electricity,forever- 20 year payback or thereabouts.
Why not get RMLD involved in a revolving loan fund? You could really get rid of
� many thousands of electric hot-water heaters in the zone and see a measurable drop
in load.
This is the kind of highly specific program that RMLD could embark on -starting
with a survey of residents to see who has electric hot water heaters,specific subsidy
programs to get rid of them.
2. A/C Compressors.
Of course,the other big one would be to get control of people's central A/C
compressors - offer incentives that you can shut them down for 30 minutes on a
revolving bagis during those horrible peak hours in July and August With smart
meters and switches and incentives,it can be done. Those monsters chew up huge
amounts of electricity,as you well know. And if you can do this kind of"peak
shaving"then you don't need to add capacity, and the power-producers maybe don't
need to switch on peaking plants.
3. Streetlights
Do we really need these bright sodium lights everywhere? Why don't we get rid of
every other light? What's the evidence for safety? I've heard that streetlights were
installed in many places simply to provide a way to keep power plants from having
to shut down at night.
