UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE March 13, 2012 Date: To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Dan McKeen, Fire Chief Subject: Proposed 2012 Medic I Utility Ambulance Transport Rate Adjustments Summary: Based on an audit of our current ambulance transport rates comparing our rates against Medicare allowables and against the areas prevailing transport rates the Fire Department proposes to adjust its Medic I transport rates and charges in 2012 by the following: Basic life support (BLS) from $450 to $500 Advanced life support (ALS -1) from $600 to $650 Advanced life support (ALS -2) from $650 to $725 Paramedic intercept service charge from $600 to $650 Advanced life support, no transport from $600 to $650 Mileage from $13 to $14 per mile The proposed fee adjustments and new service charge will not affect City residents or an employee of a business within the City, as they are not billed beyond their private insurance coverage. Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to proceed with a public hearing to adjust the transport and mileage charges for the Medic I Utility. Background /Analysis: As part of the 2012 budget process, the Fire Department requested that Systems Design Northwest, LLC, conduct an audit of our current ambulance transport rates. Specifically, the Fire Department wanted our current ambulance transport rates compared against Medicare allowables and against the areas prevailing transport rates. Based upon the audit, Systems Design Northwest recommended that the City increase its BLS ambulance transport rate from $450 to $500, its ALS -1 transport rate from $600 to $650, its ALS -2 transport rate from $650 to $725, its paramedic service charge from $600 to $650, its ALS no transport charge from $600 to $650, and its mileage rate from $13 to $14. The Fire Department concurs with System Design Northwest's recommendation and proposes to adjust the transport rates starting April 23, 2012. Proposed Medic 1 Ambulance Transport Rate Adjustments March 13, 2012 Page 2 Because the majority of the ambulance transport bills are paid based upon a fee schedule, raising our rates will not necessarily provide a corresponding increase in revenue. Medicare our primary payer will pay based upon their allowables, regardless of our rates. The comparative rate information for local area ambulance transport rates is provided in the table below.

In addition, protection against financial hardship for non residents is provided. Non resident charges may be waived or reduced in accordance with an income -based discount chart that is based upon federal poverty guidelines for Washington State. The proposed City Council public hearing is April 3, 2012 for a presentation of the proposed transport and mileage charges and to allow public input to the process after the presentation. Staff will return to the Utility Advisory Committee on April 10, 2012 requesting a recommendation to City Council to adopt the proposed rate ordinance. The public hearing would be continued to April 17, 2012 at which time the public hearing will be closed. FOLLOWS: Legal Draft 03.05.12 3.70.095 Fire Department Fees Medic I. ORDINANCE NO.

Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: March 13, 2012 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Phil Lusk, Power Resources Manager Subject: Bonneville Power Administration Commercial Industrial Demand Response Grant Amendment No. 1 Summary: The City is participating in a Commercial and Industrial Demand Response Pilot Project with the financial support of the Bonneville Power Administration. Due to an addition to the scope of work, amendment No. 1 to the current agreement is necessary. Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 1 to the Industrial Demand Response Pilot Project Agreement with the Bonneville Power Administration, and make minor modifications to the agreement, if necessary. Background /Analysis: In February 2011, the City entered into an agreement with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) to participate in a Commercial and Industrial (C &I) Demand Response (DR) Pilot Project. Staff has recruited eight C &I customers to participate in the pilot project. Seven of the eight participants have entered into agreements with the City to participate in the pilot project including the North Olympic Library, Housing Authority, Olympic Medical Center, Port Angeles Hardwood, the Landing Mall, Clallam County Courthouse, the Water Treatment Plant, and City Hall. Amendment No. 1 incorporates a supplement to the project to expand the scope of work for the eighth participant, Nippon Paper Industries USA, Co., LTD (NPI). In late 2010 and early 2011, the BPA, NPI and the City engaged in two distinct streams of work associated with developing strategies that may benefit all parties. One of those work streams, led by members of BPA's cross agency DR team, explored NPI's ability to manipulate production sensitive equipment to provide, through the City, a significant DR resource, as well as an energy load building resource that could assist BPA in its efforts to integrate wind power on the regional electrical grid. In March 2011, NPI, the City, and the BPA, agreed to work together to integrate both work streams under the C &I DR Pilot Project, thus leveraging the technology infrastructure being used by that project. N \UAC Final \BPA C &1 DR Grant Amendment No 1 doc BPA Commercial and Industrial Demand Response Grant Amendment No.1 March 13, 2012 Page 2 As now memorialized, the supplement incorporates a change of project scope to test Nippon's ability to provide multiple capacity products to the BPA in the future, including: Product 1: Voluntary reduction of non production related electrical loads with a day -ahead notice; Product 2: Voluntary reduction of production related electrical loads with a 10- minute notice; Product 3: Voluntary reduction of production related electrical loads with a day -ahead notice; and Product 4: Voluntary increase of production related electrical loads with a 10- minute notice. There is no financial impact to the City for the added proof of concept. All other direct cost increases, if any, will be funded by the BPA and/or NPI. Any project efforts beyond the current proof of concept, such as the potential future costs and revenues associated with voluntary load reductions or increases, will require an additional amendment to the Agreement as well as an agreement between the City and NPI. Staff requests that the Utility Advisory Committee forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No.1 to the Commercial and Industrial Demand Response Pilot Project Agreement with the Bonneville Power Administration, and make minor modifications to the agreement, if necessary. P ORI A NGELES W A S H I N G T O N U.S.A. Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: March 13, 2011 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Rick Hostetler, Customer Services Manager Phil Lusk, Power Resources Manager Subject: Utility Discount Ordinance Amendments Summary: The City provides discounts to qualified low- income senior and low- income disabled citizens receiving utility services. The enabling ordinance was created in 1980, and was last updated in 1992. Recommendation: Provide guidance to staff on what amendments to the utility discount ordinance, if any, should be prepared for consideration by the Utility Advisory Committee at a future meeting. Background /Analysis: At the direction of the Utility Advisory Committee, staff has discussed and provided information on the attached utility discount ordinance on December 14, 2010, March 8, 2011, and December 13, 2011. Providing utility discounts is discretionary and is not mandated by State or federal law. At the last meeting staff was directed to seek guidance on specific elements of the ordinance. Staff will request guidance at today's meeting on what amendments to the utility discount ordinance, if any, should be prepared for consideration by the Utility Advisory Committee at a future meeting. The City provides discounts to qualified low- income senior and low- income disabled citizens receiving electric, water, wastewater, and solid waste collection utility services. Last year a total of roughly 340 customers receive monthly discounts for utility services, which results in a total annual subsidy by all other ratepayers of about $116,000 ($50,000 or 0.25% rate impact for electric, $28,000 or 0.70% rate impact for water, $19,000 or 0.32% rate impact for wastewater, $8,000 or 0.27% rate impact for solid waste collection, $8,000 or 0.80% rate impact for stormwater, and $3,000 or 0.30% rate impact for medic I). While it is important that discounts continue to qualifying low income citizens, it is in the best interest of all ratepayers to consider updating the utility discounts ordinance. The utility discount ordinance was last revised in 1992 and the income guidelines are still in use and have not been updated to reflect changes in the actual poverty levels experienced in our community. The current income guidelines are not adjusted for household size. Given the current outdated low income guidelines, staff anticipates that the current customers receiving discounts are economically vulnerable. N. \UAC \Final \Utility Discount Ordinance Amendment.doc Utility Discount Ordinance Amendments March 13, 2012 Page 2 Staff recommends the use of either state or federal poverty guidelines including adjustments for household size, as they are adjusted from time to time. Doing so would simplify staff responsibilities, and it would also make the City's income guidelines in -line with other local area agencies that provide services to low- income citizens. However, a change to the income guidelines could also increase enrollment in discounts from the current 340 customers to as many as 4,000 customers. Any expansion to the enrollment could have impacts on staff depending on how the overall process is handled. An element of the discount ordinance is that in addition to meeting the income guidelines there is a requirement to be either sixty -two years of age or older, or a disabled citizen. Another element of the ordinance is there are four different discount levels ranging from 5% to 30% based on income guidelines. The current discounts apply to both base charges and consumption charges and it is common practice that discounts are only applied to base charges. As part of the last Electric Utility rate adjustment, City Council increased the discount so that customers participating in utility discounts would not see any cost increase in 2012. If the income guidelines are revised resulting in increased enrollment in discounts, the total annual subsidy will also increase. Should these elements of the utility discount ordinance be maintained? Another consideration is should the ordinance be amended to revert back to the 1980 ordinance that only provided discounts for the electric utility? Discounts paid from the Electric Utility fund qualify for a 50% credit on state taxes, which would reduce the overall subsidy provided by all other ratepayers to fund utility discounts. And a further consideration is how much should all other ratepayers subsidize discount customers each year? Specifically, should annual funding for discounts be more, the same or less than the current subsidy? As part of this consideration City Council may want to consider the funding level for discounts as part of its annual budget process. A specific not to exceed subsidy budget approved by City Council will increase transparency, and limit the impact on all other ratepayers.

Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: March 13, 2012 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Glenn A. Cutler, P.E., Director of Public Works Utilities Subject: Dry Creek Water Association Special Service Agreement No. 2 Summary: In May 2005, the City entered into an Interagency Water Facilities Agreement with the Dry Creek Water Association. The Agreement contemplated transfer of customers as service areas change during annexations, and the need for Special Service Agreements to address water service by one agency in another agency's service area. This resulted in the negotiation and approval of the Special Service Agreement No.1 in December 2009. A second Special Service Agreement has been negotiated to address water customers in a section of the western portion of the City currently served by the Dry Creek Water Association and not included in the first agreement. Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to Council to approve and authorize the City Manager to sign Special Service Agreement No. 2 with the Dry Creek Water Association, and to make minor modifications to the agreement, if necessary. Background Analysis: In 2005, the City annexed a portion of the Western Urban Growth Area to support economic growth. In May 2005, the City entered into an Interagency Water Facilities Agreement (IWFA) with the Dry Creek Water Association (DCWA). The IWFA addresses service area boundaries, sales of facilities, and new development. It also outlines the terms to enter into Special Service Agreements (SSA) that address water service to existing DCWA customers that are inside the City. In December 2009, the City and DCWA entered into SSA No. 1. SSA No.1 was negotiated over a four year period. SSA No. 1 covers water service to customers in areas annexed in 2005 along and south of US 101 as follows: 1. Existing DCWA water customers in the annexed area and located between Eclipse Industrial Parkway and Cameron Road to the west. 2. Now former DCWA water customers in the annexed area and located between Eclipse Industrial Parkway and Gakin Road to the east. Staff met with the City Attorney to discuss SSA No. 2 following initial reviews.

Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: March 13, 2012 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Larry Dunbar, Deputy Director of Power Systems Subject: Proposed Electric Utility Time of Use Rate Ordinance Summary: On January 17, 2007, City Council approved a voluntary time of use rate. On December 14, 2010, City Council approved the Advanced Metering Infrastructure System Agreement with Mueller Systems that incorporated a time of use rate in accordance with the Retail Tiered Rate Methodology Study. On November 1, 2011, City Council directed staff to develop time of use rates as soon as it is technically feasible to do so. Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to proceed with a public hearing on time of use rates for the Electric Utility. Background /Analysis: On January 17, 2007, City Council approved a voluntary Time of Use (TOU) rate for the Electric Utility, which was required in accordance with Section 1252 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Act required all electric utilities in the United States to offer smart metering and time -based rates to their customers no later than February 8, 2007. In anticipation of the Bonneville Power Administration wholesale power Tiered Rate Methodology (TRM), on April 20, 2010, City Council approved a consulting services agreement with EES Consulting to complete a retail TRM study. The retail TRM study was an ideal time to independently assess and evaluate retail rate design options for each Electric Utility customer rate class. At the completion of the retail TRM study, the City Council selected the TOU rate option for all customer rate classes. The City Council decision to proceed with TOU rates was incorporated into the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System Agreement that was approved by City Council on December 22, 2010. TOU rates align the relationship between wholesale power rates and retail rates, and provide customers the price signals that reflect the cost of power and energy at the time it is consumed. The AMI System and TOU rates also give customers the opportunity to manage their electric power costs, and an incentive to conserve electric energy use by shifting use to lower priced periods. The proposed TOU rates were designed to generate the same amount of revenues in 2012 as the current uniform rates. There is no anticipated impact for the average customer by adopting the proposed TOU rates. N \UAC \Final \Electric Utility Time of Use Rate Ordinance.doc Proposed Electric Utility Time of Use Rate Ordinance March 13, 2012 Page 2 On November 1, 2011, at the conclusion of last year's Electric Utility rate study, City Council stated that it intended to discontinue the current uniform rates and establish TOU rates as soon as staff determined it was technically feasible to do so. The staff has determined that implementation of TOU rates will now be technically feasible upon completion of the AMI System, which is anticipated by the end of this year. Staff plans to implement a customer education program on TOU rates prior to the completion of the AMI System. A summary of the proposed residential TOU energy rates is below for the winter and summer seasons. The proposed TOU periods include: "heavy" from 6:00:00 AM to 1:59:59 PM Monday through Friday, "medium" from 2:00:00 PM to 9:59:59 PM Monday through Friday; and "light" for all other hours and North American Electric Reliability Corporation holidays. A demand response monthly credit of $10.00 is also proposed if customers choose to participate in the voluntary peak power project. There are no proposed changes to the current $15.75 monthly base charge. Description Current Uniform Rate I Proposed TOU Winter Rate Percent Difference from current Uniform to proposed TOU Percent Difference from Heavy TOU period Description Current Uniform Rate Proposed TOU Summer Rate Percent Difference from current Uniform to proposed TOU Percent Difference from Heavy TOU period 1 1 $0.06700 per kWh I $0.05800 per kWh I $0.05000 per kWh 10.7% N/A $0.06930 per kWh I $0.05990 per kWh I $0.04520 per kWh 14.6% N/A Winter Time of Use Periods Rates Heavy 1 Medium I Light $0.06050 per kWh regardless of when consumed -4.1% -17.4% -13.4% -25.4% Summer Time of Use Periods Rates Heavy I Medium I Light $0.06050 per kWh regardless of when consumed -1.0% -25.3% -13.6% -34.8% The proposed City Council public hearing is April 3, 2012 for a presentation of the TOU rates and to allow public input to the process after the presentation. Staff will return to the Utility Advisory Committee on April 10, 2012 requesting a recommendation to City Council to adopt the TOU rate ordinance. The public hearing would be continued to April 17, 2012 at which time the public hearing will be closed. Attachment: Proposed time of use electric rate ordinance ORDINANCE NO.

UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMO Date: March 13, 2012 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Ernie Klimek, Water Superintendent Subject: 2011 Consumer Confidence Water Quality Report Summary: The Washington State Department of Health requires that every water system provide an annual Consumer Confidence Report to its customers. The report is to contain information on the potential contaminants present in the water supply that customers receive. The attached report for the Port Angeles Water Supply has been prepared for distribution to the City's water customers. Recommendation: For information only, no action requested. Background /Analysis: Congress passed amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act that included a mandate from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1996 requiring community water systems to provide each of their customers with a "Consumer Confidence Report" (CCR) every twelve months. This report, referencing 2011 calendar year data, will be delivered to all City of Port Angeles water customers with the May /June utility billing statements, along with a public information announcement in the local newspaper and posted on the City's website. By law, this report must be distributed to our customers by July 1, 2012. The attached CCR has been developed in accordance with the EPA CCR regulations by City staff. The regulations require information on the quality of the water delivered by the system and characterization of any risks from exposure to contaminants in the drinking water in an accurate and understandable manner. Included in the report is the data for Water Use Efficiency that is also required to be provided to our customers by July 1, 2012. The City is also providing the content of the CCR to Clallam County Public Utility District No. 1 by April 1, 2012 for use with their customers. Attachment: 2011 Consumer Confidence Water Quality Report Dear Water Customer The City of Port Angeles is pleased to provide you with our annual Consumer Confidence Water Quality Report for 2011. The purpose of this report is to share infor- mation with you, our customers, about the quality of your water and to convey a basic knowledge of our water system. This re- port is a summary of the quality of water we provided to you in 2011, gives details about where the water comes from, and compares it to standards set by regulatory agencies. We continue to monitor the Elwha River 1 Restoration Project as dam removal has 1started and we are working closely with State and Federal agencies as conditions change, sometimes daily, all the while pro- viding you with the quality of water you have come to expect from us. The year 2011 saw your water treatment plant operators begin refining their skills at Department of Health sponsored per- formance based training classes. At this training, which will continue in 2012, they are learning to tune plant operations to produce the highest quality drinking water at the lowest possible costs. Also in 2011, the Utility distribution crew continued to remove older lines from ser- vice and move customers to newer larger lines as we work to improve the water WHERE DOES OUR WATER'COME FRO Source water for.the,,City of,Port.Ange- -,les Water:System'is*Ranney Collector Well (Source: S01),,located -40°the east k =bank °of` the''Elwha River.

Lead in Drinking Water In Washington State, lead in drinking water comes primar- ily from materials and components used in household plumbing. The more time water has been sitting in pipes, the more dissolved metals, such as lead, it may contain. Elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems especially in pregnant women and young children. To help reduce potential exposure to lead: For any drink- ing water tap that has not been used for 6 hours or more, flush water through the tap until the water is noticeably colder before using for drinking or cooking. You can use the flushed water for watering plants, washing dishes, or general cleaning. Only use water from the cold tap for drinking, cooking, and especially for making baby formula. Hot water is likely to contain higher levels of lead. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water is available from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1.800.426.4791 or online at http://www.epa.gov/ Benjie Eric Quinn ;The Water Treatment Section, of the Water, Utility has the, responsibility of treating,and testingyour d linking water Our goal is to ensure that*meet ailregulatory agency s tandards, arid- ,retain your,confidence in:,us to provide you:with safe and reliable drink ing-water every time -you turn on your, `ater: The section is :.composed of 5 employees ":They'have a combined total of over 90 years'of experience and serve. you with expertise and professionalism Continuing ducation is mandatory for our employees to meet the high standards that you have come to expect :,Current certifications held by staff and issued by. the Washington State Department of Health include.

Because most of the land through which the Elwha River flows is inside the Olympic National Park, there is limited opportunity for human contamination of the water. Contaminants that might be expected in untreated water include: biological contaminants, such as vi- ruses and bacteria; inorganic contami- nants, such as salts and metals; pesti- cides and herbicides; organic chemicals from industrial or petroleum use; and radioactive materials. Whv are there contaminants in drinking water? Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some con- taminants. The presence of contami- nants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More infor- mation about contaminants and poten- tial health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800.426.4791). This informa- tion can also he accessed at the EPA's website: httn: /www.eoa.gov/ safewater /hotline /index.html. The source of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive mate- rial, and can pick up substances result- ing from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: A) Microbial contaminants, such as vi- ruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock opera- tions, and wildlife; B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be natu- rally occurring or result from urban Page 6 WATER INFORMATION Lake Angeles stormwater runoff, industrial, or domes- tic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming; C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; D) Organic chemical contaminants, in- cluding synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, are by- products of industrial processes and petroleum production, which can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems; E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining ac- tivities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Department of Health and EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in the water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Washington Department of Agri- culture regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health. vaoilfgONSV1VIER CONFIDENCE Special Precautions Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno- compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV /AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking wa- ter from their health care providers. EPA /Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by crypto- sporidium and other microbial con- taminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800.426.4791).

Utility Advisory Committee Memo Date: March 13, 2012 To: Utility Advisory Committee From: Larry Dunbar, Deputy Director of Power Systems Subject: Advanced Metering Infrastructure System Phase I Report Update Summary: On December 14, 2010, City Council approved the Advanced Metering Infrastructure System Agreement with Mueller Systems. An amendment to the percentages used to calculate City payments and shifting some Phase II scope of work into Phase I was made last month. The City and Mueller Systems have taken longer than planned to complete Phase I. The scope of work is taking longer to complete due to the integration of the AMI System with the City's utility billing system, installation of demand response equipment, and overall quality assurance. Recommendation: For information only, no action requested. Background /Analysis: The City and Mueller Systems entered into an agreement to provide the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System on December 22, 2010. On September 20, 2011, staff provided a Phase I report that summarized what went well, what did not go as expected, outstanding Phase I scope of work to be completed, and changes including shifting scope of work from Phase II to an expanded Phase I to incorporate lessons learned. The purpose of Phase I was to perform a trial of the Implementation Plan, then make adjustments based on lessons learned prior to proceeding with Phase II. On February 21, 2012, City Council approved an amendment to the AMI System Agreement to change the percentages used to calculate City payments and shifting some Phase II scope of work into Phase I. Although staff has been verbally updating the Utility Advisory Committee each month on the project, staff is providing a Phase I Report Update to ensure the Utility Advisory Committee and City Council are informed on the status of the project. Phase I included approximately 1,000 electric meter and 1,000 water meter installations, 11 communications collectors, 50 demand response (DR) installations, and the software integration. The main outstanding scope of work at this time is the integration of the AMI System with the City's utility billing system, installation of demand response equipment, and overall quality assurance have taken longer than anticipated. Until this work is completed, City acceptance testing cannot be completed for Phase I and the remaining scope of work will be delayed.

City approval of the SAT is required prior to proceeding with the shifted Phase II scope of work and remainder of Phase II. The shifted Phase II scope of work into Phase I will be implemented to test Implementation Plan revisions prior to Phase II launch. The expanded Phase I will include installation of another 1,000 electric meters and 1,000 water meters. Staff will provide another report to the Utility Advisory Committee at the conclusion of the expanded Phase I. If the expanded Phase I is successful, staff plans to promptly proceed with Phase II. Based on the unanticipated delays the schedule to complete the Phase I SAT is anticipated to be no earlier than May 2012 (estimated) and the earliest that the expanded Phase I scope of work is anticipated to commence is June 2012 (estimated). The completion of Phase II is anticipated to be by the end of 2012 (estimated). The dates once finalized will be included in the revised Implementation Plan. The project management teams (City and Mueller Systems) are continuing to work closely together to revise the Implementation Plan. Mueller Systems has appointed a Program Manager and we anticipate increased efficiency and performance during the remainder of the project. In summary, the Phase I component of the AMI system project has not been completed and there have been a few unanticipated delays to the project. Prior to proceeding with the expanded Phase 1 and original Phase II scope of work, a revised Implementation Plan will need to be approved by the City Manager. Staff will share the revised schedules with utility customers once finalized
