MINUTES of the REGULAR MEETING of the BOARD of DIRECTORS of SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

Tuesday, August 27, 2013, 2:00 P.M., Agency Board Room, 2310 Oro-Quincy Hwy., Oroville, California

DIRECTORS PRESENT: Jim Edwards, Lou Lodigiani, Jim Moll, (after appointment and swearing

in), Dennis Moreland and Steve Onken. STAFF PRESENT: Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager; Arthur Martinez, Manager of Information Systems; Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager; Kathryn Zancanella, Power Division Manager; Dustin Cooper, Legal Counsel; Michael Glaze, General Manager. OTHERS PRESENT: Brad Hemstalk and Don Hume. CALL TO ORDER President Lodigiani called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m., and led the Pledge of Allegiance. DIVISION 1 BOARD VACANCY APPOINTMENT At last month’s meeting, after Dee Hunter announced that she would be retiring, an ad hoc committee (Directors Lodigiani and Onken) was appointed to direct the process for recruiting and appointing a replacement for Mrs. Hunter. Mr. Glaze reported that the committee met on July 25, approved a Notice of Vacancy (copy reviewed by directors) and an Application for Appointment form, and developed interview questions. The Notice was then posted on the bulletin board outside the Agency’s main office, at Lakeside Market, the Bangor store, at the Bangor post office, and on the Agency’s web site. Further, the Mercury Register printed an article on Saturday, July 27 (page 8A), based on a news release prepared by Mr. Glaze, about the Board seeking applicants for the Division 1 vacancy and explaining the application/appointment process. As directed by the ad hoc committee, also posted on the web site was the application-for-appointment form, a map of Division 1, and policies regarding “Actions of the Board” and the “Directors’ Code of Ethics.” Applications were received from four individuals: Teresa Blackson, Brad Hemstalk, Don Hume, and Jim Moll. While all four applicants met the registered-voter requirement, only three met the eligibility requirement of residing on property within Agency boundaries in Division 1 (Mrs. Blackson’s residence is not annexed to the Agency, although she owns another parcel in Bangor that has a treated-water service). Copies of their applications were reviewed by directors. It was the ad hoc committee’s prescription, assuming at least three of the four current directors could agree on one of the applicants, that the successful applicant be administered the oath of office and seated immediately so that he may participate in the remainder of the meeting. President Lodigiani welcomed and had the three applicants introduce themselves. He explained that interviewing applicants, and then deliberating to see if there is consensus for an appointment, are both actions that the Brown Act requires be done in open session. However, because of the fact that having all the applicants present during the interviews and subsequent deliberation makes the process more uncomfortable and difficult for both directors and applicants, President Lodigiani asked the applicants if they would voluntarily step outside the board room during the interviews. This would also ensure that those not interviewed first would not have an advantage by hearing the questions in advance and being able to better prepare responses. After all of the applicants voluntarily left the room, directors reviewed the interview questions proposed by the ad hoc committee. They were accepted without modifications or deletions. Applicants were invited back into the room individually for their respective interview in the following alphabetical order: Brad Hemstalk, Don Hume, then Jim Moll.

After the interview process was complete, and with all the applicants still voluntarily outside of the board room, directors discussed their impressions and preferences. The applicants were then invited back into the meeting. M/S/C (Edwards/Lodigiani) appointing Jim Moll to the vacant Division 1 seat on the

Board of Directors. Notary Public and Agency employee, Cheri Richter, administered the oath of office to Mr. Moll. Then Director Moll assumed his seat at the board table. Mr. Hemstalk and Mr. Hume left the meeting. APPROVAL OF MINUTES M/S/C (Moreland/Onken) approving the Minutes of the regular meeting of July 23, 2013. APPROVAL OF WARRANTS M/S/C (Edwards/Moreland) approving the total General Fund and Joint Facilities

Operating Fund expenditures for the month of July 2013 in the amount of $2,320,955.30; and Power Division expenditures for the month of June and July 2013 in the amount of $291,375.64.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION – None. POWER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager, including reservoir levels as of August 20, and water management, powerhouse operations and power revenue for the year ended June 2013. Scrap Removal At last month’s meeting, disposal of the large scrap metal items at Forbestown to Alco Iron & Metal was approved. On July 30, two trucks picked up the old turbine shutoff valve and actuator, and two old turbine runners. Martin Crane and Rigging assisted with loading the items for delivery to Vallejo. The scrap metal sale netted the Agency $5,184.10 after the cost of Martin Crane was deducted from the amount received from Alco Iron & Metal. Forbestown Headquarters Roof The Truitt Group removed the damaged roof and trusses from the Forbestown shop building at the end of July in preparation for installing a new roof. Directors reviewed a photo report showing how the old roof was flown off and the new trusses and purlins were flown on. The roof replacement is substantially complete, although electrical and piping work is continuing. The crew is also moving and setting up equipment in the new welding shop addition. Little Grass Valley Spill Gate Painting Work is progressing on recoating the spill gates at Little Grass Valley Dam. The contractor, F.D. Thomas, has completed paint removal on the first gate and moved to the second gate. The contractor is following procedures for lead paint removal and containment. West Coast Hydro Meeting About 75 people attended the West Coast Hydro meeting that the Agency hosted at the Lake Oroville Golf and Event Center on August 8th. Presentations included Human Performance and Operating Excellence, Generator Relay Upgrades, and Modifying an 80-inch Butterfly Valve. A panel discussion on security was moderated by Scott Alcantara, and “lessons learned” were shared on the topics of Pole Piece Refurbishment and Fire Protection. The meeting format encouraged interaction between the speakers and the audience. WATER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager.

Operations Water Division staff have been accomplishing normal water system maintenance and operations tasks. Ongoing projects include domestic service installations, distribution system betterments, and leak repairs. Mr. Colwell reported that on Monday, August 12, at approximately 10:00 pm, distribution crews responded to a large water leak at the corner of Hillcrest and Solana Drive. The situation was caused by a failed 6-inch hydrant spur that apparently had a minor separation in a pipe joint that eventually lead to the weakening and failure of the pipe. The significant water flow and pressure created a large scour hole at the edge of the road. The water main was temporarily shut down and the hydrant valve closed. On Tuesday morning the repairs and clean-up went smoothly and the hydrant was placed back in service. Water Treatment Operations Recently, the annual cleaning of the MRTP sludge basin and removal of the sludge to a landfill was accomplished. This year’s accumulation of sludge solids captured in the filter and backwash process was approximately 80 cubic yards. The total MRTP treated water production for the month of July and the annual accumulated value indicates that the annual water demand is slightly above average for this time of year. On July 1, 2013, during the recent high-temperature period, the maximum-day MRTP production peaked at 10.5 million gallons (72 percent of capacity). All bacteriological requirements were met for the Miners Ranch and Bangor Treatment Plants and Strawberry/Sly Creek Campgrounds. Mr. Colwell congratulated John Shipman, Senior Treatment Operator, for obtaining his Grade T5 Water Treatment Operator Certificate. The T5 certification is the highest level and requires passing an exam, specialized training, and demonstrated experience. The irrigation system’s current releases are: Forbestown Ditch SF 14 = 16 cfs NYWD = 10 cfs WD 6 = 6 cfs Bangor Canal SF 25 = 12 cfs Palermo Canal = 14 cfs Solar Plant Production MRTP power demand was greater than solar generation by 74,700 KWH during the month of July. FINANCE DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager, including financial statements for the month ending July 2013, together with consumption and revenue data for all six distribution systems. South Feather Relicensing Consulting Services No invoices have been submitted this month by HDR for relicensing consulting services. Total payments to HDR for relicensing services rendered through March 30, 2013 amount to $5,116,241. The budget balance remaining under this agreement is $34,521. MRTP Expansion – Financial Advisors On Friday, July 19, Mr. Glaze and Mr. Wong had a conference call with First Southwest, the financial advisors for the Miners Ranch Treatment Plant Improvement Project. A rough schedule for the financing was discussed and initial action for publicizing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for bond counsel services was agreed to. First Southwest has prepared and distributed the RFP with a submittal deadline of September 12, 2013. It is anticipated a recommendation for bond counsel services will be provided to the Board at its October 22, 2013 meeting.

Storage Clean Up Pat Sands and Debby Cunningham performed a major review of files in the administrative office’s copier and storage rooms. Files were organized, relocated and thrown out or shredded, as appropriate. Finance Division Personnel Cheri Richter and Cindy Griffin have now assumed virtually the entire payroll and accounts payable functions. Debby Cunningham has been the Agency’s bookkeeper, taking care of, among other things, payroll and accounts payable, and has announced her retirement date of September 27, 2013. Mr. Wong complimented Debby for the terrific job she has done transferring her institutional knowledge to Cheri and Cindy, who have both done a great job assuming these new responsibilities. 2014 Budget Work has commenced on assembling the 2014 Annual Budget. Directors reviewed the 2014 Budget calendar. Dental and Vision Plans ACWA/JPIA has announced that there will be no change in the rates for dental insurance and a 6% increase in vision insurance premiums for 2014; an annual budgetary impact on the Agency of approximately $1,000. LEGAL COUNSEL REPORT Dustin Cooper summarized the contents of two letters from his office regarding (1) recent Supreme Court and Appellate decision on Proposition 218 and, (2) legislative issues and bills tracked by the ACWA Legislative Committee. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Michael Glaze, General Manager. Business/Economic Development Branding/marketing consultant, Merlot Marketing, whose contract was approved in June, conducted a day-long “branding session” on August 2 with representatives of the Grow Oroville Coalition (“GOCO,” comprised of SFWPA, City of Oroville, County of Butte, Oroville Area Chamber of Commerce, and Oroville Economic Development Corporation). The purpose of the meeting was for Merlot to saturate itself in the Oroville area – its strengths, weaknesses, peculiarities, uniqueness, opportunities, competitors for business, etc. Since then the Merlot team has worked hard to get GOCO ready for the Invest in North America Conference in London at the end of September. As discussed last month, Aileen Foley and Mr. Glaze will be representing the Grow Oroville Coalition as an exhibitor at the Conference. To be able to make the best possible impression, a brand and logo was needed for the exhibition booth’s banner and printed material. The first thing Merlot recommended was changing the name of the Grow Oroville Coalition to the Oroville Economic Alliance. Next came their brand and logo recommendation.

MRTP Improvement Project Financing Now that FirstSouthwest has been retained as the Agency financial advisor for the MRTP Improvement Project Financing (contract approved in June), the next step is to retain bond/disclosure counsel. FirstSouthwest’s Michael Kremer and Joe Yew have prepared and are distributing a request for proposals to “the firms best qualified to serve as both bond counsel and disclosure counsel on the 2014 Financing.”

The key dates presented in the RFP are as follows: RFP Distribution August 16, 2013 Deadline for Final Questions September 4, 2013 Submittal Deadline September 12, 2013 Evaluation of Proposals September 12-20, 2013 Interviews (optional) September 25-27, 2013 Contract Negotiations October 14-18, 2013 Contract Approval by Board of Directors October 22, 2013

Hydro Operations Manager Recruitment The Hydro Operations Manager position was approved by the Board in June. As discussed at that time, and again in July, given the unique prerequisite qualifications for this position, Mr. Glaze believes that the success potential for finding an optimally qualified candidate will probably be maximized by utilizing the assistance of an experienced, networked, effective and productive personnel recruiting firm. The optimal candidate will be a professional electrical, mechanical or civil engineer (electrical or mechanical preferred) with five or more years of experience working in hydropower operations at generation facilities similar to those owned and operated by the Agency. Toward that end, Mr. Glaze issued a Request for Qualifications to six firms across the nation, hoping to find a firm that can demonstrate a proven record of successfully recruiting engineering professionals with hydroelectric operations experience throughout North America. Responses from three qualified recruiting firms were received, all of which had a similar pricing structure: 23-25% of the candidates first-year base salary compensation. He said that his initial plan was to request approval of a contract with the firm that Kathy Zancanella and he considered the most qualified at this meeting. However, he postponed that contract-approval agenda item until next month to see if there might be some hiring opportunities available as a result of an announcement he made at the recent West Coast Hydro Meeting about the position. City Administrator Interviews Mr. Glaze reported that he had recently been on a panel with County Administrative Officer Paul Hahn and several city department heads interviewing applicants for the vacant City Administrator’s position, immediately after they were interviewed by the City Council. After all the interviews were concluded, the panel met with the Council and discussed panel members’ observations and recommendations. DIRECTORS’ REPORTS – Director Onken complimented Kathy Zancanella on the recent West Coast Hydro meeting at which he was in attendance. President Lodigiani reported on the recent annual OEDCo BBQ, and also summarized proposed FDA rule making that would impose stringent weekly water testing on agri-business in California. Director Moll advised that prior commitments would prevent him from attending the next board meeting. COMMENDATION FOR RETIRED DIRECTOR DEE HUNTER The Board Vacancy Ad Hoc Committee requested board consideration of a resolution of appreciation for retired Director Dee Hunter. M/S/C (Onken/Edwards) adoption of Resolution 13-8-1, commending Dee Hunter for

her 15 years of service on the South Feather Water and Power Agency’s Board of Directors.

RESOLUTION NO. 13-8-1

COMMENDATION FOR SERVING ON SFWPA’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHEREAS, Dee Hunter was first appointed to serve on the Board of Directors on April 28, 1998, and served thereafter for 15 years, retiring on August 1, 2013; and,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the South Feather Water and Power Agency that it recognizes and expresses its sincere appreciation to Dee Hunter for her 15 years of service to the citizens of southeast Butte County as a member of the Board of Directors of South Feather Water and Power Agency. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors of the South Feather Water and Power Agency at the regular meeting of said Board on the 27th day of August, 2013, by the following vote: AYES: Edwards, Lodigiani, Moll, Moreland, Onken. NOES: None. ABSTAINED: None. ABSENT: None. (seal) Lou Lodigiani, President Michael C. Glaze, Secretary MINERS RANCH CONDUIT REPAIRS Mrs Zancanella reported that deterioration of the Miners Ranch Conduit concrete is continuing, necessitating an ongoing major repair program. After a field review of the canal and analysis of the concrete, consultants at HDR Engineering have opined that concrete conditions will deteriorate more rapidly from this point forward and that seismic stability of the bench flume sections of the conduit will be impaired. Prior to preparing a Request for Bids for the work on the canal this year, Maintenance Foreman John Davis inspected the conduit to determine the portion of the canal that should be given priority

54

Page 9: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

for repairs, and found that a 100-feet long section of the conduit built on fill (yielding foundation) rather than original ground (unyielding foundation), requires replacement of the bench flume, including the entire outer wall, and re-compaction of the foundation material. Specifications related to the repairs of this section of the Conduit upstream of the Station 6 sand trap were prepared and sent to a list of five potential bidders. Only Syblon Reid Contractors participated in the bid walk and responded with a bid. However, they have performed repairs on the canal in previous years and are well qualified and experienced to do the work. The 2013 budget for Miners Ranch Conduit repairs was $165,000. The budget amount was based on the type of work done in previous years, which consisted of repairs to the floor and back wall. The work planned for this year includes replacement of 100 feet of the outer wall, which adds a new level of effort. The bid by Syblon Reid was for $225,808, which was $60,808 higher than budgeted. Therefore, a supplemental budget authorization in the amount of $65,000 would be needed if the contract is approved. A copy of the Supplemental Budget Authorization, Request for Bids, Bidders Proposal and the proposed contract were reviewed by directors. M/S/C (Onken/Edwards) approving the 2013 Supplemental Authorization/Budget

Modification No. 6 in the amount of $65,000 for Miners Ranch Conduit Repairs, and authorizing the General Manager to execute the contract with Syblon Reid Contractors for the Miners Ranch Conduit Repairs in the amount of $225,808.

POSITION NAME CHANGE In June, the Board approved the creation of two new Power Division positions (proposed for funding in 2014) for the purpose of more efficiently assigning certain management responsibilities, to increase productivity and reliability by increasing in-house professional hydro-operations expertise and resources, and to reduce dependence on external engineering resources and the cost thereof. The two new positions are the Hydro Operations Manager and the Recreation and Administration Supervisor (RAS). Mr. Glaze stated that he RAS would be the Power Division’s office manager, assistant to the Power Division Manager and the Hydro Operations Manager, as well as supervisor for all seasonal campground/recreation staff or concessionaire, and campgrounds operations manager. The RAS would also assist in preparation of reports, project administration, and coordinating environmental consultants involved in license condition compliance. Mr. Glaze recommended changing the name of the Recreation and Administration Supervisor position to Special Projects Manager. This would cause the position to be attractive to a broader range of skill sets, especially from an engineering perspective, he opined. The current name, while descriptive, focuses too much attention on the recreation management aspects of the job and infers that recreation is the position’s primary focus. In reality, someone with a project management or engineering background would be better suited to tackle the varied assignments for which this position will be responsible. M/S/C (Onken/Moreland) approving of changing the name of the Recreation and

Administration Supervisor position to Special Projects Manager. RECESS (4:27 p.m.) CLOSED SESSION (convened at 4:30 p.m.) Conference with Legal Counsel – Existing Litigation Government Code §54956.9a. SFWPA v. Surface Water Data; Littleton v. SFWPA; Farris & Rogers v. SFWPA; and, SFWPA’s (et al) claim submitted to the Commission on State Mandates challenging 2009 water conservation legislation (S.B. x7-7) as an unfunded state mandate. OPEN SESSION (reconvened at 4:50 p.m.) President Lodigiani announced that legal counsel was given direction during the closed session. No action was taken.

MINUTES of the SPECIAL MEETING of the BOARD of DIRECTORS of SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

Tuesday, August 27, 2013, 4:27 P.M., Agency Board Room, 2310 Oro-Quincy Hwy., Oroville, California

DIRECTORS PRESENT: Jim Edwards, Lou Lodigiani, Jim Moll, Dennis Moreland and Steve

Onken. STAFF PRESENT: Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager; Arthur Martinez, Manager of Information Systems; Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager; Kathryn Zancanella, Power Division Manager; Dustin Cooper, Legal Counsel; Michael Glaze, General Manager. OTHERS PRESENT: None. CALL TO ORDER President Lodigiani called the meeting to order at 4:27 p.m. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES – MRTP IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Mr. Glaze reported that the Miners Ranch Treatment Plant Improvement Project is on track for commencement of the design/build work in early 2014. As discussed at the past several board meetings, the Miners Ranch Treatment Plant Improvement Project will require compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) before any actions/decisions on the project can be made, including decisions regarding financing. To facilitate that work, an RFP for CEQA Consultant Services (reviewed by directors at the May board meeting and again at this meeting) was released on May 17. The submittal deadline for responses to the RFP was July 5, and six proposals were received:

AECOM (Sacramento) $65,430 De Novo Planning Group (Sacramento) $15,285 Eco-Analysts (Chico) $26,710 Enercon (Sacramento) $17,810 ICF International (Jones & Stokes, Sacramento) $63,809 SMB Environmental (Roseville) $49,979

Since all of the firms proposing are experienced and qualified to do the work outlined in the RFP, Mr. Glaze based his recommendation for award of contract on cost (De Novo proposed the lowest cost at $15,285). De Novo has worked for Butte County (EIR for the Whisper Ridge Golf Course), and Lake Oroville Area PUD and Paradise Irrigation District (LAFCo sphere-of-influence updates/expansions). They are also collaborating with Scott Wilcox at Stillwater Sciences who has provided environmental consulting services to the Agency for over two decades. Directors reviewed the proposed consulting services agreement, along with De Novo’s proposal (proposals from the other firms were also available at the meeting for review). The 2013 budget includes $50,000 for MRTP Improvement Project consulting services, and a $49,500 contract has already been entered into with First Southwest for financial advisor services. Therefore, to move forward at this time with the CEQA processing, a budget modification is necessary. Increasing the budget by $17,500 will be sufficient to cover De Novo’s contract and expenses and, if approved, will leave a balance of $1,470,898 in the System Capacity Fund. M/S/C (Onken/Lodigiani) approving, and authorizing the General Manager to execute,

the CEQA consulting services agreement with De Novo Planning Group, for a fee not to exceed $15,285 plus expenses; and, approval of 2013 Supplemental Authorization/Budget Modification No. 7 in the amount of $17,500 for Miners Ranch Treatment Plant Improvement Project.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager DATE: September 17, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on agenda) September 24, 2013 Board of Directors Meeting Operations Attached is the Power Division Summary Report for August 2013. Also attached are charts showing reservoir levels as of mid-September. Little Grass Valley’s water levels have been maintained at a relatively stable level throughout the summer. 2014 Prediction PG&E advised staff that 2014 is considered “ENSO Neutral,” which means that there is no clear prediction about what type of climate pattern to expect. However, the Department of Water Resources and other water agencies are setting up drought contingency plans. The chart shows that the past January through August period was the driest on record for the Sierras. Fatality at Little Grass Valley Dam On Friday, August 30, a 26-year old man drowned at Little Grass Valley Reservoir. According to the Forest Service, he jumped from a 67-foot high cliff into 16 feet of water at the upstream end of the spillway approach channel, and broke his neck on impact. A report on the incident was filed with FERC.

Lost Creek Dam Improvement Project Significant activity is taking place in preparation for construction of the Lost Creek Dam Improvement Project next year. The proposed project design has been altered from what was originally proposed to FERC and the Division of Safety of Dams. Originally, the plan was to lower the spill crest by three feet to pass the probable maximum flood with freeboard and to install seven-foot tall gates to maintain the same maximum water level as was created through the use of wooden flashboards. However, installation of gates at the dam was problematic for at least two reasons: 1) there is no steady power source to operate the gate controls, and 2) maintenance of the gates in the future would be incredibly challenging considering the height at which crews would need to work. Agency staff and AECOM engineers therefore re-evaluated the need to lower the spill crest and/or maintain a water surface level greater than the existing spill crest elevation. AECOM calculated the probable maximum flood inflow and outflow based on the modifications already completed at Sly Creek and determined that without lowering the spill crest, but altering the bridge pier configuration and raising the elevation of the non-spill sections of the dam, Lost Creek Dam can pass the flows with 1.5 feet of freeboard. Staff reviewed the past several years of operating data for Lost Creek reservoir and determined that the additional reservoir storage created by the flashboards does not produce increased generation because Lost Creek is operated as a regulating reservoir rather than a storage reservoir. Water level records indicated that the same amount of fluctuation of three to five feet occurred whether the flashboards were installed or not, and Woodleaf Powerhouse is capable of producing its full capacity without the flashboards installed. Technical reports summarizing this information along with some additional geotechnical evaluations at the base of the dam were submitted to FERC and DSOD early this month. The cultural resources and environmental permitting processes for the construction are well underway. The Historic American Engineering Record draft report for the dam has been submitted for approval by the State Historic Preservation Office. The Corps of Engineers has approved the repair project under Nationwide Permit No. 3 and the Regional Water Quality Control Board has issued the Water Quality Certificate. Staff from the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife will make a site visit on September 27 prior to issuing a Streambed Alteration Agreement. Assuming the FERC and DSOD approvals are processed in a timely manner, the project should go to bid in early 2014. In related news, the Lost Creek Dam Geomembrane Project was included in an E-book produced for the 2013 International Conference on Large Dams (ICOLD). A copy of the chapter on Lost Creek Dam has been printed for each director. A related paper on the performance of the geomembrane after 15 years was also included in the conference proceedings. Forbestown Headquarters Truitt Group completed the repairs to the Forbestown mechanic’s shop roof, and some final tasks are being completed by Agency staff to return the shop to full functionality.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager DATE: September 18, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting Operations Water Division staff have been accomplishing normal water system maintenance and operations tasks. Ongoing work projects include domestic service installations, distribution system betterments, and leak repairs. The Butte County Foothill Boulevard Bridge Improvement Project on Wyman Ravine includes a few water system modifications to eliminate future construction conflicts. Fortunately, the planned construction will avoid the 20-inch ductile iron water-main crossing under the Wyman Ravine channel on the west side of the bridge. However, a 3-inch blow-off line attached to the mainline had to be removed (photo at far right). Excavation in the channel required the use of trench-box shoring to complete the work safely (photo at right). The work in the channel of Wyman Ravine was performed under Butte County Public Works Streambed Alteration Agreement with California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Grimont pipeline project was completed on September 10th when the project was interconnected in three locations on the existing Community water system. An all-day shutdown was planned while the distribution crew cut out the old connections and constructed new interconnections feeding the new pipeline

(photographs below). The new 2,800-foot long, 8-inch C900 pipeline replaces decaying steel lines that once replaced old open ditch and redwood stave pipe systems. Irrigation System Operations The current irrigation flows are as follows: Forbestown Ditch SF 14 = 17 cfs

NYWD = 11 cfs SFWPA @ WD 6 = 6 cfs Bangor Canal SF 25 = 11 cfs Palermo Canal SF30 = 13 cfs Water Treatment Operations The total MRTP treated water production for the month of August (table at right) and the annual accumulated value (shown on the historical graph at the end of this report) indicates that the annual water demand is near average for this time of year. All bacteriological requirements were met for the Miners Ranch and Bangor Treatment Plants and Strawberry/Sly Creek campgrounds. Solar Plant Production MRTP power demand for July was greater than the solar generation by 74,700 KWH. The graph below provides a historical perspective of energy demand (from PG&E) compared to water production.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: September 9, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting Miners Ranch Treatment Plant Improvement Project A contract was approved last month for De Novo Planning Group to do the CEQA processing for this project. Since then, DeNovo has begun reviewing and compiling available information, and working on the CEQA-suitable project description. Business/Economic Development Branding/marketing consultant, Merlot Marketing, has done a great job getting us ready over the past month for the Invest in North America Conference in London on September 30 and October 1, and for the meetings with Irish companies in Dublin on October 2 and 3. Aileen Foley, California Connections business development consultant, is finalizing meeting confirmations with the following: Valeo Foods, Irish Dairy Board, Alcoholic Beverages Federation, Food & Drink Ireland, Ulster Bank, Britvic, Diageo, Greencore, Irish Distillers, Eversheds, and others. On September 10, the County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution of support for the Oroville Economic Alliance (draft attached). In adopting the resolution, supervisors personally expressed their appreciation to the Agency’s board of directors for its progressive leadership in facilitating economic development in and around the Oroville area. MRTP Improvement Project Financing Now that FirstSouthwest has been retained as the Agency financial advisor for the MRTP Improvement Project Financing (contract approved in June), the next step is to retain bond/disclosure counsel. FirstSouthwest’s Michael Kremer and Joe Yew prepared and distributed a request for proposals (RFP) to firms they believed were best qualified to serve as both bond counsel and disclosure counsel on the 2014 Financing. The deadline for RFP responses was September 18, and six firms submitted proposals. Remaining events in this selection process are:

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager DATE: September 4, 2013 RE: CalPERS Resolution Fixing Employer’s Contribution for Health Care 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting Health insurance for employees is provided through the CalPERS Health Benefit Plans. Each bargaining unit’s Memorandum of Understanding states that “the Agency will contribute to the health benefit plan premium for each employee and their eligible dependents an amount equal to the average of the premiums of all the PERS plans available and applicable…excluding the plan with the lowest premium and the plan with the highest premium – in any given year.” CalPERS regulations require adoption of a specific maximum employer contribution amount by the Agency by resolution. Adoption of the attached resolution (language and format prescribed by PERS) will align the Agency’s agreement with CalPERS and the Agency’s agreements with its employees. However, because the Agency’s contribution each year is based on a premium-dependent formula, and because health benefit premiums change each year, it should be expected that such a resolution will be required on an annual basis. The recommended form of action is: “I move approval of the “RESOLUTION FIXING THE EMPLOYER’S CONTRIBUTION UNDER THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ MEDICAL AND HOSPITAL CARE ACT”.

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager, Art Martinez, Manager of Information Systems DATE: September 18, 2013 RE: MRTP Control System Upgrade Project – Consulting Services Agreement 2013 Supplemental Appropriation/Budget Modification #8 Agenda Item for 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting The control systems throughout the water treatment facilities are in need of upgrades and modernization. The programmable logic controllers, radio and telemetry communications, and data storage and retrieval are using 15-year old versions of technology which have caused control system reliability issues. We have budgeted and been working with four separate projects trying to improve and upgrade the control system reliability. We have consistently found that other peripheral control, communication, and network security projects are limited because the central brain of the system (Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller PLC5) creates compatibility issues. We have implemented patches in an attempt to continue making progress but we are now at a point where a broader more comprehensive project approach is needed. We are recommending that the Allen Bradley PLC5 installed in 1999 be upgraded to the new Allen Bradley ControlLogix system. Until recently we have considered that the upgrade would take place as part of the MRTP expansion project. However, there would be significant cost and project efficiency benefits if this control system hardware and software upgrade was accomplished now. The total upgrade project cost is estimated at $150,000 to procure the necessary hardware, software, and consulting services. Since the upgrade project will support the MRTP expansion, we can utilize System Capacity funds ($1,650,000 available) to pay for the project. The proposed project timeline is October 2013 through May 2014 to avoid the summer high demand period. Even though the project will be spanning 2013 and 2014 budget cycles, it is appropriate to commit the total project funding in the 2013 project authorization and budget appropriations. Therefore, a 2013 supplemental budget authorization is requested in the amount of $150,000. It is estimated that project consulting fees (3rd-party control system integrator) will cost approximately $120,000 to perform control system engineering, configuration, and programing. This project will require critical planning and timing by an experienced consultant because of the requirement to keep MRTP’s shutdown as short as possible and to avoid the summer high demand period.

Page 48: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

At the April 2013 board meeting, directors approved a contract with Automated Network Controls to assist with minor upgrades to the control systems at MRTP, BTP, and MGT. Automated Network Controls (ANC), a control systems design and integration company that promotes working collaboratively with the customer, was initially selected to work with the Agency based on the consultants experience and qualifications and recommendations from REXEL Datacom (Allen Bradley equipment supplier). ANC has demonstrated project experience, qualifications and consistent quality services at competitive prices. This has been a good working relationship because of our in-house abilities to implement and modify our control systems. The experienced working relationship with ANC allows Agency staff the unique and upfront direct involvement in the development of control system programming standards including network configuration and control logic programming. ANC has assisted staff in the development of the project scope, detailed task list and budget for the MRTP Control System Upgrade Project. Staff recommends approval of the proposed consulting services agreement with Automated Network Controls to perform the control system engineering configuration, and programming at a not to exceed cost of $120,000. A copy of the proposed contract is attached. The recommended form of action is:

“I move approval of 2013 Supplemental Appropriation/Budget Modification No. 8 in the amount of $150,000 for the MRTP Control System Upgrade Project; and, authorization for the General Manager to execute the MRTP Control System Upgrade Project consulting services agreement with Automated Network Controls, at a cost not to exceed $120,000.”

Consultant shall immediately notify Agency of any and all such violations of this clause, by Consultant, its agents or subcontractors, immediately upon becoming aware of such violations. Failure of such notification or lack of knowledge of a violation by Consultant or its subcontractors shall not excuse the performance hereunder.

APPENDIX A SCOPE OF WORK

MINERS RANCH WATER TREATMENT PLANT CONTROL SYSTEMS UPGRADE PROJECT

VALIDATION OF HARDWARE/SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

Review of the existing and proposed hardware/software architecture to determine if the specified components are appropriate and consistent for the migration into the new platform and hardware structure. Any corrections to hardware and/or software part numbers will be identified to all parties and agreed upon prior to purchasing. To include parts specification for any hardware needed for the control panel modification for the controls hardware upgrade and swap out.

PLC-5/WONDERWARE SCADA REVIEW:

Time needed to review the existing PLC-5 ladder logic structure and control design intent. WonderWare screen layout and data display review to determine migration strategies and screen layouts for the new system. A preliminary review identified approximately 74 screens and 630 database points in WonderWare that need to be converted and 580 rungs of code in the existing PLC5 that need to be converted.

MEETING/ COORDINATION TIME [INTERNAL/ SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER]:

Coordination time needed internally to delegate task scopes, project status, address issues and goals. Coordination time needed to discuss programming standards development and implementation with members of the Plant Operations and Maintenance staff. To include, but not limited to:

1. New SCADA screen layout and Data Display 2. Communication Topologies and Layout 3. Coordination of system hardware transitions and relevant steps 4. CAD design and overview data review

STANDARDS GENERATION:

Identification and coordination of programming standards for PLC programming, component classification tagging, SCADA screen visualization layout, and alarm event display and associated nomenclature.

CONTROL STRATEGY:

Design and creation of the process control design intent. Generation of documentation that outlines the stepwise process control steps and definitions. Identification of current system deficiencies as well as addressing process improvements not active in the current system control structure. Review process and incorporation of revised information provided by plant operations staff.

I/O SPREADSHEET/ SCADA TAG MAPPING:

Creation of the spreadsheet documentation that details the existing, as well as any added, field telemetry, sensors, wiring numbers, hardware tag ID’s, and associated control IO points.

Page 55: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

CAD DEVELOPMENT:

Generation of electrical CAD drawings representative of the existing 480/120/24 power distribution within the control panels as well as field wired devices. Also to include new communication overview for both the EtherNET and existing communications wiring to be used with the new system to communicate to remote devices. Rack layout drawing s for both the Control Logix rack and remote IO rack and associated IO. Elevation overview drawings for any existing and new panels needed for controls hardware.

COMMUNICATIONS:

The current PLC communications structure will be documented.

A radio polling scheme will be programmed to gather data from all of the sites that are connected by Ethernet radios which takes into account the fact that Bangor Water Treatment Plant directly polls the Bangor Tank on the same frequency.

If the communication that currently go through the Dialup modem and SCADAPack have not been converted to Ethernet radios by the time the PLC5 to ControlLogix PLC conversion is to happen, the PLC5 will be retained to provided communications to those sites (Million Gallon Tank) as the new ControlLogix PLC does not have built-in serial communications.

PLC PPROGRAMMING:

Convert the PLC5 to ControlLogix utilizing the Programming Standards and Control Strategies that were generated for the Miners Ranch Water Treatment Plant PLC program. The program will be structured such that there will need to be minor programming changes when the RIO panel is upgraded to a ControlLogix Rack during a second cutover. The programming effort and initial testing will be done at the ANC offices.

SCADA PROGRAMMING:

Programming Standards and Control Strategies that were generated for the Miners Ranch Water Treatment Plant SCADA program will be utilized to convert from the existing Wonderware to the upgraded Wonderware HMI/SCADA technology (Archestra). While the upgraded Wonderware HMI/SCADA platform will keep much of the look and feel of the existing Wonderware SCADA, modifications will be made to fully utilize the tight integration of upgraded product to the ControlLogix PLC platform. The programming effort and initial testing will be done at the ANC offices.

ALARM DIALER:

The new alarm dialer software will be configured to replicate the current SCADAlarm functionality.

HISTORIAN:

Two historians will be set up, one on each side of a firewall to enable the secure sharing of data to the corporate office. The data collection historian will be configured to store all of the data of interest for the operation and troubleshooting of the water treatment plants and distribution system. Additional data will be stored that is of interest to the corporate office.

The second historian [Corporate Side] will be configured to pull data from the data collection historian [Miner Ranch] to provide data to the corporate office and remote locations.

Page 56: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

WONDERWARE:

The upgraded Wonderware HMI/SCADA will be configured to be able to easily visualize the status of the water delivery system and provide historical data.

START UP SERVICES:

ANC will work with South Feather Water and Power to migrate the physical IO from the existing PLC5 PLC to the new ControlLogix PLC and test the new HMI/SCADA to ensure that the plant will continue to operate as it did with the existing PLC5 PLC.

The startup will happen over several phases with the PLC5 to ControlLogix conversion and Wonderware HMI/SCADA conversion happening first. The data Historian will be added next followed by the conversion of the RIO rack to a ControlLogix Rack. The second Historian will be implemented at the end.

TRAINING:

Training will be provided to South Feather Water and Power staff on how the provided PLC Program and SCADA software have been programmed and configured.

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: September 9, 2013 RE: Economic Forecast Conference Sponsorship Agenda Item for 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting The Center for Economic Development at CSU, Chico, puts on an annual North State Economic Forecast Conference. The next one is in January 2014. The upcoming conference will be held at Gold County Casino – the third year in a row that it has been held in Oroville. It used to be held in Chico, but has grown steadily since it was moved to Oroville. The goal of the Economic Forecast Conference is to provide business and community leaders with a global, national, regional, and local economic forecast in order to improve the region's ability to plan for the future and take advantage of opportunities for economic development. This conference brings together more than 500 attendees including top revenue producers and political officials in the North State.

In seeking a launching pad for the Oroville Economic Alliance, Merlot Marketing and I are recommending sponsoring the 2014 North State Economic Forecast Conference at the “Innovator” level (see attached CED brochure). With a focus on business and growth, this is the perfect time (and place) to introduce the Oroville Economic Alliance. Given that the Oroville Economic Alliance comprises both public and private sector organizations, it’s important to reach out to them in this business-focused conference where all of our key constituents will be present. In addition to visual representation at the show, a representative from the Oroville Economic Alliance will have the opportunity to speak to this highly targeted audience for 15

Page 62: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

minutes. This is an important time for the Oroville Economic Alliance – it’s an opportunity to introduce itself as a professional organization with a focus on growing Oroville as well as an opportunity to garner buy-in from both the public and private sectors. Although our focus is on businesses planning to expand, relocate or grow in and around Oroville, our ultimate success lies in aligning the goals of the business and private sectors and creating excitement about the growth opportunities that await Oroville. With Oroville’s new position as “California’s Business Oasis,” this is a story that needs to be told. And what better place to share it first than right here in Oroville! The conference’s Innovator Sponsorship has a price tag of $10,000. In addition to the 15 minutes of podium time during lunch and the other offerings listed in the attached brochure, the event coordinator has increased to 16 the number of conference registrations that would be complimentary with the sponsorship. That way, in addition to Oroville Economic Alliance representatives, SFWPA directors would also be covered. The Oroville Area Chamber of Commerce has committed $1,000 toward the sponsorship, and the County of Butte has tentatively offered to assist. Bud Tracy of Tracy Realty has promised $500, and other businesses are considering assistance. Unfortunately, the deadline for committing to the sponsorship is the end of this month (to give the event producers time to prepare all publications, signage and exhibition hall assignments), and the amount of all of the donations will not be known by then. Therefore, I’m requesting the following action:

“I move approval of funding Oroville Economic Alliance’s ‘Innovator’ sponsorship at the CED’s 2014 Economic Forecast Conference at a cost not to exceed $10,000.”

An article is attached from a recent edition of Site Selection Magazine listing “Top Utilities of 2013” who are also engaged in promoting their services to assist economic and community development in their service areas. Obviously, SFWPA is not unique in this arena.

Generation Next

This year's Top Utilities in Economic Development know how to help projects and communities hit growth milestones.

by Adan Bruns [email protected]

Below, in alphabetical order, we present the Top Utilities in Economic Development for 2013, selected by the following mix of objective and subjective criteria: Analysis of corporate end-user project activity in 2012 in that company's territory; website tools and data; innovative programs and incentives for business, including energy efficiency and renewable energy programs; and the utility's own job-creating infrastructure and facility investment trends.

Alabama Power Birmingham, Ala. www.amazingalabama.com One of three Southern Co. utilities to garner either Top Utility or Honorable Mention honors this year, Alabama Power continues to provide the support it has offered to growing companies ever since 1913, when the company established a Commercial and New Business Division. "In 1920, Alabama Power President Tom Martin officially formed a New Industries Division, the first at an electric-utility company," says the company history. "For decades, Alabama Power's industrial recruitment program was the only one in the state."

One Martin initiative was funding post-World-War-II research to show pine trees could be used to make paper.

Today the utility's economic development team, led by Ken Novak, vice president of economic and community development, continues to support projects such as the blockbuster Airbus project going to Brookley Field in Mobile and continuing success at the state's steel makers and three automotive assembly plants operated by Mercedes, Hyundai and Honda. Last year the team helped bring 3,832 new jobs to its territory, accompanied by more than $2.3 billion in investment. Projects are landing in Alabama from such companies as BioHorizons, Steris Corp. and Universal Forest Products.

Novak's team offers a range of services, in addition to assets such as a Technology Applications Center to help customers improve energy efficiency, productivity or environmental performance; and flexible electricity rates that are below the national average. Focus areas for the team have included data centers (helped by new state incentives legislation passed in 2012); customer intelligence; international trade and GIS tools. Their mission is captured in this statement from Project Manager Blair King: "We have an Economic and Community Development Department, but we view the company as a whole as an economic development organization."

Page 67: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

American Electric Power Columbus, Ohio www.aeped.com Led by Mark James, vice president of economic and business development, the AEP team last year helped bring in 16,339 jobs and more than $2.2 billion in investment, including projects from such companies as Benteler Steel in Shreveport, La.; Vaughan-Bassett Furniture in Galax, Va.;Caiman Energy in West Virginia; and Discover Card in New Albany, Ohio, as well as Garmin in Tulsa, Okla; Caterpillar in Victoria, Texas; and Tenneco in Ligonier, Ind.

It also implemented an intensive search for data center sites that could be certified in its 11-state territory. This summer Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Co. announced the rollout of the first nine AEP "Data Center Qualified Sites" in seven of those states.

"The data center pre-qualification process allowed us to clearly understand the needs of the data center users and distinguish AEP as an electric utility able to support those needs," said James in June. "It gives our service territory an advantage in the highly competitive site selection process for data centers." (Visit www.aepdatacenters.com for more information.) The team also launched a new comprehensive website and social media strategy and various targeted marketing and analytics initiatives.

CenterPoint Energy Houston, Texas www.centerpointenergy.com/ecodev CenterPoint's Economic Development Department surveyed 20 Houston-area EDOs and found they had attracted 17,676 new jobs associated with 129 landed projects, according to the team's 2012 annual report. The team humbly took credit for helping land just 20 of those projects and 16 percent of the jobs, but those collaborations alone involve $3.2 billion in corporate investment.

Among other findings, the report notes, "After reaching a low of 70 in 2009, the number of jobs per project for the overall region has steadily risen. In 2010, the average reached 92 and climbed nearly 49 percent to 137 jobs per project in 2012. This is the highest the metric has been since Economic Development began compiling this data and suggests the rise of larger projects."

Expansions accounted for 45 percent of jobs created. Any guesses as to the dominant sector? You'd be right if you chose petrochemicals, which CenterPoint says accounted for 24 percent of job creation from projects tracked in 2012.

Duke Energy Charlotte, N.C. www.LocationDukeEnergy.com "Last year was an exciting year for Duke Energy's Economic Development Program as we expanded our footprint significantly through the Progress merger," says Stuart N. Heishman, vice

Page 68: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

president, economic development, business development & territorial strategies. "This included an aggressive rollout of Duke's Business Development, Site Inventory & Site Readiness Programs throughout the former Progress footprint in Florida, Eastern North Carolina and South Carolina. We were able to launch these programs while staying focused on our core mission of ‘moving the needle' in capital investment and jobs in the communities we serve. Our team has grown, our programs have expanded and our corporate commitment to economic development has never been stronger."

Heishman says the major merger, which means serving 7.2 million electric retail customers in six states and 104,000 sq. miles of service area, "created a platform for a fresh look at our best practices and a bold strategic rollout of our economic development programs across our expanded footprint. In addition, a new organizational structure was deployed with an ‘Enterprise Strategy/Local Delivery' approach."

The Duke team helped attract $3.6 billion in private-sector investment that's creating 13,140 jobs, including projects from Sierra Nevada Brewing and Ashley Furniture in North Carolina; Michelin and Amazon in South Carolina; Vitag Biosolids in Florida; Cummins and Amazon in Indiana; Eagle/Linamar in Northern Kentucky and Total Quality Logistics in Ohio. Among other accomplishments, the Duke team selected five new South Carolina properties for participation in Duke's 2013 Site Readiness Program in collaboration with McCallum Sweeney, which now has more than 15 sites in the fold.

The team also conducted a "business development blitz" in its new footprint in Florida and the Carolinas, reviewing more than 50 sites in a site inventory study. And it continued to support community projects such as brownfield redevelopment by the Hamilton County Port Authority in Ohio.

Entergy New Orleans, La. www.entergysiteselection.com and www.entergy.com/our_community/economic_development.aspx Across its 2.8-million-customer, multistate territory in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi, Entergy's economic development team last year helped attract more than $26 billion in projects that aim to create 9,884 jobs. Among them were blockbusters from Sasol, Methanex and CF Industries in Louisiana; and from Nissan and Kimberly Clark in Mississippi, among others.

Among the tools the team has put to good use on behalf of dozens of EDOs is its Site Selection Center website, which saw 20 percent more visitors last year than the year before.

Among the latest Entergy Qualified Sites is the 2,000-acre Panther Creek Commerce Center in Madison County, Miss., not far from Nissan's plant near Canton. In Arkansas, the Web resources have been augmented recently with data from Xceligent, and community resources have been improved in the communities of Batesville, Cross County and Marion thanks to the hiring of new economic developers with assistance from Entergy Teamwork Arkansas.

Page 69: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

The team also has introduced a new Commercial and Industrial Custom Program to help companies with peak demand greater than 100 kW improve energy efficiency.

In Louisiana, the Entergy team has helped identify eight certified sites in concert with Louisiana Economic Development, as well as four Certified Ready Development Communities. New civil engineering services have also made a great impact on the team's level of service and quality of site evaluation.

FirstEnergy Akron, Ohio www.firstenergycorp.com/ed The FirstEnergy team led by Patrick J. Kelly, director of economic development, helped $2.7 billion of projects come to pass in its six-state, 65,000-sq.-mile territory, which will create 7,900 jobs. Those projects include locations and expansions from the likes of Target, Medical Mart and Rubbermaid in Ohio; Rocky Gap Casino in Maryland; Thor Labs in New Jersey and East Penn Manufacturing and Aquion Energy in Pennsylvania.

Among special programs and initiatives in recent months, FirstEnergy partnered with the Material Research Institute at Penn State University to promote tech transfer. It also continues to offer specialized analysis tools to site seekers and communities alike through its FirstProspector (www.firstprospector.com) and IMPACTfactor+ programs.

The utility also continues to push the envelope when it comes to smart-grid and renewable power: FirstEnergy has more than 2,400 MW of hydro, pumped-storage hydro, wind and solar generation either owned or under contract.

Florida Power & Light Juno Beach, Fla. www.PoweringFlorida.com The past year has seen the successful flowering of the new economic development arm at FPL, which in 2012 helped make possible $1.8 billion in new corporate facility projects that will create more than 16,900 jobs.

Led by Lynn Pitts, director of economic development, the FPL team serves a territory encompassing 35 Florida counties and some 4.6 million customer accounts. But they go above and beyond territorial lines:

"FPL understands that to be successful, our economic development program must go beyond offering a discounted electric rate," they said in response to Site Selection's annual questionnaire. "We launched innovative initiatives that are significantly shaping economic development across the entire state of Florida. These programs include the PoweringFlorida® seminar series, PoweringFlorida.com website and Resource Center. We offer these programs to all communities in the state, not just those in our service territory, because we believe that a strong state economy benefits everyone."

Page 70: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

The utility and its parent company, NextEra Energy, also continue to be a national leader in renewable energy deployment, as well a sustainability programs such as FPL's effort to green its vehicle fleet with hybrid and EV models. FPL also continues to partner with a real estate developer in southwest Florida to build the world's largest solar PV power plant at Babcock Ranch, Fla., with plans to make it the world's first city powered by solar energy.

Georgia Power Atlanta, Ga. www.SelectGeorgia.com Affordable and dependable power has always been a mainstay of economic development in the Southeast. Georgia Power is a big reason why.

Just ask Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal.

"Georgia can offer comprehensive energy solutions to new and expanding companies because utilities are active partners in growing the state through economic development, and years ago implemented long-range plans to anticipate the state's needs," writes Gov. Deal, diplomatically choosing not to name the state's biggest utility of all while also pointing out that big-load customers can put their service up for bid. "Georgia's energy providers have played an important role in virtually every company the state's economic development team has helped locate or expand."

That statement could just about apply to Georgia Power alone, whose economic development team led by Vice President of Community & Economic Development Pedro Cherry in 2012 helped attract $3.3 billion of investment among 82 projects expected to create 11,370 jobs. On the list were locations and expansions from Caterpillar in Athens; Mohawk in Summerville; Baxter in Covington; and Mando in Greenville, among others.

Among the tools the team is employing is its On-The-Map demographic analysis tool; a new SelectGeorgia Mobile system, a completely online property search application that's accessible by smart devices; and a thorough inventory of brownfield redevelopment sites that could benefit from new brownfield legislation signed into law in May 2012.

"2012 was a great year for Georgia, one of the best ever," says Em Williams of Georgia Power's community and economic development department. "We're excited about the new companies coming to the state, as well as the existing industry expansions, and are hopeful that 2013 will be another successful year."

LG&E/KU Energy (PPL) Louisville, Ky. www.site-selection.com Led by Alan McGinnis, manager of economic development & major accounts, the LG&E-KU team in 2012 helped attract $1.7 billion in projects creating 9,279 jobs across a territory that includes 93 Kentucky counties and five Virginia counties. Among those projects were locations

Page 71: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

or expansions from Rare Breed Distilling, Sealed Air Corp., Caterpillar, Teletech, GE Consumer & Industrial and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, among many others.

In 2012 the team signed its first customer on the recently introduced Economic Development Rider, a five-year reduction-in-demand charge. In addition, the team's communities continue to enjoy the benefits associated with the Location One Information System (LOIS), which LG&E-KU launched in June 2012.

The utility continues to invest in green energy and energy efficiency programs, as well as lead the way in renewable power and environmental research such as its partnerships with the Commonwealth of Kentucky and with the Electric Power Research Institute in such areas as carbon storage and greenhouse gas emission reduction.

Tennessee Valley Authority Nashville, Tenn. www.TVAed.com and www.TVAsites.com A perennial winner in these pages, TVA's economic development team, led by John Bradley, senior vice president, economic development, helped attract $5.9 billion in corporate facility investment in 2012, expected to create 48,500 jobs across TVA's 80,000-sq.-mile, seven-state territory with a population of 9 million.

Projects came from such companies as GM in Spring Hill, Tenn.; Brown-Forman Corp. in Hillsboro, Ala.; Magneti Marelli in Pulaski, Tenn.; Roxul in Byhalia, Miss; and Teletech in Hopkinsville, Ky.

Initiatives in 2012 included an expanded Rural Development Strategy; continuing growth of the now 26-site Data Center site identification program in partnership with Deloitte; and progress on the redevelopment of 1,000 acres of TVA property at Muscle Shoals Reservation. And the Valley Investment Initiative, jointly offered by TVA and certain distributors of its power, offers incentives to qualifying companies.

The utility's successful Megasites program, launched in 2004, won a Gold Award from the International Economic Development Council for excellence in economic development.

TVA Economic Development also sponsored its second annual Rural Leadership Institute, graduating 18 officials from rural counties. And it continued developing its inventory of what it calls quick-turn buildings: those that allow companies to set up operations fast to meet changing market demands.

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: September 16, 2013 RE: Personnel Recruiter Agreement

Agenda Item for 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting The Hydro Operations Manager position was approved by the Board in June. As I’ve said for the last three months, given the unique prerequisite qualifications for this position, the success potential for finding the best possible candidate will be maximized by utilizing the assistance of an experienced, networked, effective and productive personnel recruiting firm. The optimal candidate will be a professional electrical, mechanical or civil engineer (electrical or mechanical preferred) with five or more years of experience working in hydropower operations at generation facilities similar to those owned and operated by the Agency. Toward that end, I issued a Request for Qualifications to six recruiters across the nation, hoping to find a firm that could demonstrate a proven record of successfully recruiting engineering professionals with hydroelectric operations experience throughout North America. Responses from three qualified recruiting firms were received, all of which had similar pricing structures: 23-25% of the candidate’s first-year base salary compensation. Of the three proposals I received, the one from J. Powers Recruiting (copy attached) was the most professional from the perspective that it was presented in a manner that made its review logical, quick and easily comparable. In addition to being slightly less expensive (23%) than the other two (25% each), its “Search Project Schedule” was compelling in that it not only tied the process in a bow, but also provided clarification regarding the efforts the recruiter would be expending on the Agency’s behalf. Perhaps most importantly were the examples of placements the firm had accomplished that were similar to the Agency’s position, providing confidence that J. Powers had the Agency and its position dialed in and understood exactly what we would be looking for. My initial plan was to request approval of a contract with J. Powers Recruiting last month. However, as I reported last month, that contract-approval agenda item was postponed to give us time to see if there might be some hiring opportunities available as a result of an announcement I made about the position at the West Coast Hydro Meeting that Kathy hosted on August 8. In fact, two very qualified individuals

Page 73: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

contacted us shortly after the meeting, expressing interest in the job. Since then, Kathy and I have interviewed both individuals and believe that both of them are viable candidates. However, Jennifer Powers (J. Powers Recruiting) provided me information about one other electrical engineer who also has a very strong resume. I am making arrangements to interview him in late October. Ms. Powers is aware that we have two candidates that have been recruited independently. She was willing to provide me the information on her top candidate in exchange for an agreement that if he were hired she would receive compensation for her services. Depending on the starting salary that would be negotiated, hiring her candidate would result in a higher first-year price tag for the Agency, but would be justified if he is clearly the best choice. Regardless of which candidate is hired, it is becoming more apparent to me that the knowledge, skills and abilities that whoever is hired will bring to work every day will offset consultant expenses equal to and possibly exceeding the position’s salary and overhead. To have the opportunity to consider Ms. Powers’ candidate, the following action will be necessary:

"I move approval of, and authorization for the General Manager to excecute, the Personnel Recruiting Services Agreement with J. Powers Recruiting, Inc., for a placement fee of 23% of the first-year compensation to be earned by a candidate recruited by J. Powers Recruiting."

Page 74: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

PERSONNEL RECRUITING SERVICES AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is entered into effective as of September 24, 2013 by J. Powers Recruiting, Inc. (“Recruiter”) and South Feather Water and Power Agency (“Agency”). ARTICLE 1 SCOPE Recruiter will perform the services (the “Services”) described generally in Section 2, “Scope of Services,” of the Request for Qualifications for Personnel Recruiting Services released by Agency on July 26, 2013, as follows:

Consultant will: (1) prepare professional and attractive job announcements for use on line and for delivery as hard copy; (2) advertise the Agency’s position in appropriate and widely circulated trade publications and forums; (3) facilitate the application process; (4) conduct initial screenings of applications; and, (5) provide the Agency’s General Manager with the specifications of those applicants deemed by Consultant to be qualified. The General Manager will select some or all of the qualified applicants for interviews, after which Consultant will (6) make arrangements with the selected applicants and facilitate the interviews with the General Manager and interviewers he selects.

. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date shown above and shall remain in effect until all Services are complete, unless amended in writing or terminated pursuant to Article 8 herein. Agency may consider candidates referred to it by other sources, or that come to the Agency’s attention as a result of its own and independent recruitment efforts. Agency is under no obligation to offer employment to a candidate referred to it by Recruiter. ARTICLE 2 COMPENSATION For performance of the Services, Agency shall pay Recruiter on a contingency basis. A placement fee is due Recruiter in the event a candidate referred by Recruiter is hired by Agency for any position. The referral of candidates by Recruiter is strictly confidential and valid for a period of one year from the initial referral and/or identification of the candidate to Agency. All positions to which the candidate will be referred will be considered as permanent positions. The placement fee is 23% of the first-year compensation to be earned by the candidate, as said compensation is determined by the Agency and Recruiter at the time of Agency’s acceptance of the candidate for employment. “Acceptance” means an agreement by and between the candidate and the Agency for the candidate to commence employment with the Agency on a specific date and with a mutual understanding of the terms, conditions, responsibilities, duties and compensation thereof. GUARANTEE. In the event an employee hired through Recruiter is terminated for any reason, other than elimination of the position or insufficient work, with ninety (90) days from the date the employee commenced said employment, Recruiter will replace the terminated employee, subject to Agency’s approval, provided that Agency notifies Recruiter in writing of such termination within five (5) working days of such employee’s termination. BILLINGS. Fees shall be invoiced by Recruiter when the candidate accepts employment offered by Agency.

J. Powers Recruiting, Inc. Personnel Recruiting Services Agreement Page 1 of 5

Page 75: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

TERMS. Net due with ten (10) days of candidate’s employment-commencement date. Should Agency’s payment be received more than ten (10) days after candidate’s employment-commencement date, Recruiter’s guarantee, above, is null and void. ARTICLE 3 REPRESENTATIVES Recruiter will function in cooperation with and subject always to the direction and control of Agency’s authorized officers or designated representatives. Recruiter shall also designate a representative for the execution of the Services. Recruiter’s and Agency’s representatives are: Recruiter: J. Powers Recruiting, Inc.

ARTICLE 4 RECORDS At Agency’s request, Recruiter will deliver to Agency a copy of any or all working papers, logs, research notes, photographs, summaries and reports (hereafter collectively referred to as “reports”) produced and/or collected in the course of Services performed under this Agreement. To the extent Agency does not otherwise specifically request delivery of records, Recruiter agrees to retain all records related to the Services performed under this Agreement for a period of not less than four (4) years after completion of the Services. Reports maintained in digital/electronic format shall be made available, in such format and in hard copy, unless otherwise directed by Agency. ARTICLE 5 CONFLICT OF INTEREST/BUSINESS ETHICS Recruiter shall exercise reasonable care and diligence to prevent any actions or conditions that would result in a conflict with Agency’s interest. During the term of this Agreement, Recruiter shall not accept employment or engage in any work that creates a conflict of interest between Recruiter and Agency, or in any way compromises the interest of Agency for which Recruiter’s services are being retained. Recruiter shall immediately notify Agency of any and all such violations of this clause, by Recruiter, or its agents, immediately upon becoming aware of such violations. Failure of such notification or lack of knowledge of a violation by Recruiter shall not excuse the performance hereunder. ARTICLE 6 TERMINATION Agency may suspend or terminate this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to Recruiter, but such termination shall not relieve Agency of its obligation to pay Recruiter a placement fee, as described in Article 2, above, in the event a candidate referred by Recruiter prior to its receipt of Agency’s written termination notice is hired by Agency within one year of said referral. Any reports or other

J. Powers Recruiting, Inc. Personnel Recruiting Services Agreement Page 2 of 5

Page 76: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

documents prepared for Agency prior to the effective date of such termination shall be delivered to Agency by Recruiter prior to Agency’s release of any final payment due Recruiter. ARTICLE 7 WARRANTY Recruiter warrants that its Services are performed with the degree of skill and care that is required by current, good and sound professional procedures and practices, and in conformance with generally accepted professional standards prevailing at the time the Services are performed so as to ensure that the Services performed are correct and appropriate for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement. ARTICLE 8 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Recruiter’s total cumulative liability for any claims of any kind, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability), under any warranty or otherwise, for any loss or damage relating to this Agreement or the performance of the Services, shall not exceed the insurance coverage specified in this Agreement, and Agency hereby releases Recruiter from any liability in excess of such amount. This monetary limitation shall survive the failure of any exclusive remedy. Neither Agency nor Recruiter shall be liable, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability), under any warranty or otherwise relating to the Services or this Agreement, for any consequential, indirect, special, punitive or incidental loss or damage, any damage or loss of any property or equipment, or any loss of use of property or equipment, and Agency and Recruiter mutually release the other from any liability for all such losses and damages. All of the provisions of this Agreement providing for limitation or protection against liability of Recruiter and Agency shall also protect their directors, officers and employees, and affiliated entities of Recruiter and their directors, officers, employees and affiliates, and shall apply regardless of the fault, negligence or strict liability of Recruiter, its directors, officers, employees or affiliates.

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: September 12, 2013 RE: Compensation Range Adjustment – Hydro Operations Manager

Agenda Item for 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting As discussed under the previous item, the Board approved the creation of Hydro Operations Manager position in June (proposed for funding in 2014) for the purpose of more efficiently assigning certain management responsibilities, to increase productivity and reliability by increasing in-house professional hydro-operations expertise and resources, and to reduce dependence on external engineering resources and the cost thereof. During the process of talking to recruiters and candidates for the position, I have come to the conclusion that the initially-approved compensation range ($97,510 - $137,876) is below the market for the experience and professional qualifications needed to fill this position optimally. The approved range is comparable to PG&E’s “Maintenance Supervisor,” for which a professional engineer’s registration is not required. To ensure that the Agency’s recruitment and retention efforts are competitive, the following action is requested:

"I move approval of changing the Hydro Operations Manager position’s compensation range to $112,000 - $148,000."

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager DATE: September 16, 2013 RE: Lexington Hill Communications Agreement; Agenda Item for 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting The Federal Communications Commission’s mandatory narrow-banding requirements have impacted the quality of some of the Agency’s communications circuits. Communications Technician Brian Howerton investigated ways to improve the water-level telemetry communications from Little Grass Valley Dam and determined that placing a radio antenna at Lexington Hill would improve the path. The La Porte Fire Department maintains a communications tower and shelter at Lexington Hill under a communications lease agreement with the Forest Service, similar to the agreement the Agency has with the Forest Service at Sunset Hill. The Agency received the approval of Plumas National Forest District Ranger, Karen Hayden, to proceed with an agreement with the La Porte Fire Department. An agreement for the use of Lexington Hill site was drafted based on agreements previously approved by the Board for the use by others of the Agency’s Sunset Hill facilities and is attached for your review. The annual rent for the site is $2,100, subject to adjustment if the Forest Service adjusts the amount it charges the La Porte Fire Department. The agreement would terminate on December 31, 2022, which is the termination date of La Porte Fire Department’s Forest Service agreement. The recommended form of action is:

“I move approval of, and authorization for the General Manager to execute, the Lexington Hill Communication Lease Agreement between South Feather Water and Power Agency and La Porte Fire Department.”

Page 92: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

LEXINGTON HILL COMMUNICATION LEASE AGREEMENT between

SOUTH FEATHER WATER AND POWER AGENCY and

LA PORTE FIRE DEPARTMENT

WHEREAS, La Porte Fire Department, hereinafter called “Landlord,” has under its possession and control a communication site, including a tower and building, located upon that certain mountain top known as Lexington Hill, in the county of Plumas, State of California; and, WHEREAS, possession and control by Landlord is based upon, and subject to, the terms of Landlord’s “Communications Use Lease” with the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (USFS) that expires on December 31, 2022; and, WHEREAS, South Feather Water and Power Agency, hereinafter called “Agency” requests to install a radio antenna and appurtenant equipment at Lexington Hill in order to improve transmission of water telemetry data from its Little Grass Valley Dam. NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Agency agree to the following terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1. LEASE: Landlord leases space to Agency in its Lexington Hill building for a 16-inch by 16-inch by 8-inch NEMA enclosure to house a radio and AC trickle charger; space for two Group 27 12-volt DC batteries; and, space upon its tower for a directional antenna and the antenna feed line. The antenna will be installed on a 122-inch rigid pipe mount extending above the existing tower height, with required lightning rod, and positioned in a north-east pattern.

2. TERM AND TERMINATION: The term of this lease shall commence on October 1, 2013, and terminate on December 31, 2022, providing that either party may terminate this lease by giving notice in writing to the other of not less than 90 days. Upon termination or expiration of this lease, AGENCY shall remove all facilities installed on the leased premises and surrender the leased premises in as good condition as when Agency first took possession hereunder, reasonable use, wear and tear excepted, and Landlord will refund the unearned portion of any rent Agency has paid in advance.

3. RENT: Agency agrees to pay annual rent in advance to Landlord, in the amount of $2,100.00. The annual rent is based upon the amount charged Landlord by the USFS, and will be adjusted following receipt of written notification from Landlord to Agency of any change in the amount charged by the USFS.

4. RENEWAL OPTIONS: Subject to Landlord’s receipt of a new Master Lease from the USFS, Agency, at its option, may extend the term of this Agreement concurrent with the new Master Lease expiration date, by written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term then in effect. The same terms and conditions specified herein shall apply to the extended term.

5. SUBORDINATION: Landlord’s rights to use the facilities are subject to a

USDA Forest Service Communications Use Lease, No. FR0003. Agency’s rights

Lexington Hill Communication Lease Page 1 of 3

Page 93: September 24, 2013 - South Feather Water & Power

hereunder are at all times subject to, and subordinate to said Communications Use Lease. If at any time Landlord’s right of occupancy under the Communications Use Lease is modified, then this lease shall be subject to modification for consistency. If such modifications cannot render this lease consistent with the terms of said Communications Use Lease, then this Agreement may be terminated.

6. ELECTRICAL SERVICE: Agency understands that utility 120 volt AC power is supplied to the Lexington Hill site, and said utility power is metered by a separate power meter owned and maintained by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and billed monthly to Landlord. No standby power will be supplied by Landlord to Agency for equipment installed at the site. Landlord agrees to notify Agency within 48 hours of when Landlord becomes aware of an interruption to the AC power supplied by PG&E to the site.

7. AGENCY’s OPERATION: Agency shall install, operate, and maintain its radio communication equipment in accordance with engineering standards now or hereinafter employed in the industry and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission or any other governmental Agency having control or regulation over such operations. In the event that Agency’s installation, operation, or maintenance of its equipment creates any interference with the operations of Landlord’s equipment, Agency shall, at its own expense, take such steps as may be necessary to eliminate said interference. In case of Agency’s inability or refusal to eliminate such interference, Landlord may terminate this Agreement and Agency shall promptly, after receiving notice of said termination, remove its equipment and antennas from the leased premises. 8. INDEMNITY: Agency agrees to indemnify Landlord against, and to hold Landlord harmless from, any loss or damage to any property, or injury to, or death of any person whomsoever, proximately caused in whole or in part by any negligence of Agency or its officers, agents, employees, or contractors, in the exercise of Agency’s rights hereunder, including occupancy of the leased premises, save and except to the extent such loss or damage or injury or death is proximately caused in whole or in part by any negligence of Landlord or its employees or contractors, or by any acts for which Landlord or its employees or contractors are liable without fault.

9. SITE SECURITY: Upon execution of this Agreement, Landlord shall make available to Agency a key(s) for its secure enclosure. 10. NOTICES: All notices or demands are deemed to have been given or made when delivered in person or delivered by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid United States mail, or by reliable overnight carrier, and addressed to the prospective parties as follows: Landlord: La Porte Fire Department P.O.

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager DATE: September 18, 2013 RE: Syblon Reid Master Services Agreement; Agenda Item for 9/24/13 Board of Directors Meeting In December 2010, the Board approved a Products and Services Agreement with PG&E in order to continue to receive the benefit of PG&E staff expertise related to maintenance of the South Feather Power Project. Since that time, the Agency has executed six task orders for services under the Products and Services Agreement, the last being for GC Communications support in December 2012. In the meantime, PG&E has phased out its Hydro maintenance specialists’ group through attrition due to retirements. Two of the key specialists with expertise in governors, relays and ISO metering systems have joined the staff of Syblon Reid, and have offered to provide the same types of technical services that were available to the Agency from PG&E in the past. A proposed Master Services Agreement for Specified Products and Technical Services is attached. This agreement also anticipates the provision of emergency services related to electrical, mechanical and civil projects. The markups in the document represent proposed changes based on the review by legal counsel Jeff Meith. Syblon Reid is doing a further review of the proposed changes, so the agreement’s approval should be conditioned upon legal counsel’s final acceptance. Staff proposes that any task that would exceed $15,000 in anticipated costs would require a specific contract for services and be subject to prior Board approval. The recommended form of action is:

“I move approval of, and authorization for the General Manager to execute, the Master Services Agreement for Specified Products and Technical Services with Syblon Reid, subject to a limit of $15,000 per task, and subject to approval by the Agency’s legal counsel.”
