ELK RIVER MUNICIPAL UTILITIES REGULAR MEETING OF THE UTILITIES COMMISSION HELD AT UTILITIES CONFERENCE ROOM December 11, 2018 Members Present:

Chair John Dietz; Vice Chair Al Nadeau; Commissioners Paul Bell, Mary Stewart, and Matt Westgaard ERMU Staff Present: Troy Adams, General Manager; Theresa Slominski, Finance and Office Manager; Mark Fuchs, Electric Superintendent; Mike Tietz, Technical Services Superintendent; Eric Volk, Water Superintendent; Tom Sagstetter, Conservation & Key Accounts Manager; Michelle Canterbury, Executive Administrative Manager; Jennie Nelson, Customer Service Manager; Tony Mauren, Communications & Administrative Coordinator Others Present: Cal Portner, City Administrator; Peter Beck, Attorney; and Teri Heaton, Springsted Senior Vice President/Client Representative

GOVERNANCE

1.1

Call Meeting to Order The regular meeting of the Utilities Commission was called to order at 3:30 p.m. by Chair Dietz.

1.2

Pledge of Allegiance The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

1.3

Consider the Agenda Ms. Slominski requested to move up agenda item 6.2, Bond Recap, to immediately follow 1.4, Water Fluoridation Quality Award. Moved by Commissioner Westgaard and seconded by Commissioner Nadeau to approve the amended December 11, 2018, agenda. Motion carried 5-0.

1.4

Water Fluoridation Quality Award Mr. Volk announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for Disease Control has recognized Elk River for achieving excellence in community water fluoridation by maintaining

Page 1

Regular Meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission December 11, 2018 28

a consistent level of fluoride in the drinking water throughout 2017. He shared that the achievement of receiving this award is a testament to the attention to detail the water operators demonstrate on a daily basis. Chair Dietz inquired as to how many water departments receive this award. Mr. Volk responded that in Minnesota approximately 200 of the 600 possible fluoridating communities are receiving the award. Ms. Canterbury shared that staff will be promoting this achievement on ERMU’s social media platforms. The Commission congratulated the water department on their achievement. 6.2

Bond Recap Ms. Heaton, Senior Vice President with Springsted, was in attendance and brought cake to celebrate our bonding issuance and sale that took place on August 29, 2018. Ms. Heaton provided an update on the market and shared that the timing of our bonding couldn’t have been better. Since the sale of the bonds, the interest rates have been climbing up, which would have resulted in $360,000 to $700,000 in additional interest paid for the life of the bonds. Ms. Heaton touched on ERMU’s Moody’s investor rating which contributed to a true interest cost of 3.52% the day of sale, compared to the index at 4.47%; this resulted in almost a whole percentage point less due to the tremendous Aa3 rating.

Regular Meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission December 11, 2018 29

4.1

Performance Metrics and Incentive Compensation Policy Per our policy, the metrics for measurement of the designated year need to be determined before the start of the designated year; this allows for changes to be made and communicated in a timely manner before performance measurement begins. Mr. Adams presented the proposed Performance Metrics and Incentive Policy Score Card. No changes were being recommended for 2019. Mr. Adams informed the Commission that staff will continue to evaluate the customer satisfaction survey component of the Utilities Performance Metrics and Incentive Compensation for viable options to incorporate for measurement in 2020. Moved by Commissioner Bell and seconded by Commissioner Stewart to approve the Performance Metrics and Incentive Compensation Score Card for 2019. Motion carried 5-0.

4.2

Agenda Planning Policy and the Annual Governance Agenda Mr. Adams provided some background on the Agenda Planning Policy. He shared that when it was developed the rolling two year agenda requirement was a discussion point. It was questioned whether a two year forward looking agenda was needed, or if an annual agenda would suffice. After application of this new governance policy, staff recommended changing the two year requirement to a one year annual requirement. Mr. Adams presented two other changes to the policy as outlined in his memo. Mr. Adams presented the proposed 2019 Annual Governance Agenda. Mr. Adams explained that the annual agenda will provide transparency for the occurrence of the most critical responsibilities of the commission. Moving forward, the Annual Governance Agenda will be included in the Future Planning section of the commission meeting agenda. Moved by Commissioner Westgaard and seconded by Commissioner Nadeau to adopt the revised Agenda Planning Policy. Motion carried 5-0. Moved by Commissioner Bell and seconded by Commissioner Westgaard to adopt the 2019 Governance Agenda. Motion carried 5-0.

5.2

Wage & Benefits Committee Update At the November 13 Commission meeting, the Commission directed the Wage & Benefits Committee (W&BC) to benchmark the management pay group and report back to the Commission at the December meeting. The W&BC met just prior to the Commission meeting to review the benchmarking data. Mr. Adams shared that after review of the data, the W&BC is recommending contracting with a third party to do a pay plan evaluation with a concentration on the management pay group. Chair Dietz elaborated on the benefits of hiring a third party to evaluate these positions; preferably somebody that is familiar with the utility industry. He recommended that staff bring back three to four proposals for consideration at the January Commission meeting. Moved by Commissioner Nadeau and seconded by Commissioner Stewart directing staff to solicit proposals for a pay plan evaluation. Motion carried 5-0.

5.3

2019 Annual Business Plan In November, the preliminary 2019 Annual Business Plan was presented to the Commission. Mr. Adams shared that there have been several changes due to the finalizing of projects and expenses, and the most significant change is due to the implementation of electric rate reductions at the direction of the Commission. As outlined in his memo, Mr. Adams presented the proposed electric rates and explained that the reset of rates will affect consumers differently depending on usage. He shared that a typical residential customer should experience an approximate 5% reduction in electric costs, and commercial customers should experience between a 4% to 5% reduction. Mr. Adams noted that staff is also proposing the implementation of a Large Demand Electric Service Rate which is reflected in the budget. Mr. Adams presented the proposed residential water rates which reflected a projected 1.72% annual water cost increase for a typical residential customer; this is equivalent to less than a $5.00 increase for the year. Commercial customers will experience a blended rate increase of 2% or less depending on usage. Commissioner Stewart had a question on power cost adjustment credits (PCAs) and wanted to know if we have given them back or if they were still on the books. Staff responded that with the change in whole power providers, the intent was to pass along the accumulated PCA credits in their entirety to our customers in 2018. Commissioner Stewart expressed her concerns about doing a 5% rate reduction and asked if staff had done a multi-year rate projection. Mr. Adams responded. Commissioner Stewart also had some questions and concerns about the HWY 169 project and how that may affect future rates. There was discussion on the infrastructure in that area, and the impact of it not being fully depreciated. Commissioner Westgaard stated that it may be

Page 4

Regular Meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission December 11, 2018 31

beneficial to identify the assets that would be affected to determine the total impact of writing them off. Staff shared that until the Minnesota Department of Transportation finalizes their plans for the project, they have no way of identifying which assets will be impacted. Commissioner Stewart inquired as to how often staff does a cost of service study. Staff responded that they had done one in 2016 and that it was based on Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (MMPA) rates. Commissioner Stewart pointed out that given the timeframe of the study, the cost of the HWY 169 project wouldn’t have been considered. She stated she was leery about reducing rates so significantly with all the unknowns. There was discussion on capital projects and the impact on rates and reserves. Mr. Adams shared that the proposed budget accommodates the rate reduction while still providing comfortable margins and contributions to reserves. After discussion, a majority of the Commission was in favor of the rate reduction, citing rates should reflect the cost of doing business today and ERMU’s strong reserves as contributing factors for their support. There was further discussion. Moved by Commissioner Nadeau and seconded by Commissioner Bell to adopt the 2019 Business Plan. Motion carried 4-1. Commissioner Stewart opposed. 6.0 BUSINESS DISCUSSION 6.1 Staff Updates Ms. Slominski brought in a sample of the bullet absorbing rubber material that was placed between the cabinets and the curved wood facing at the front counter. She shared that the bulletproof glass is being installed this Friday after regular business hours. Mr. Fuchs provided an update on the light pole that was struck by a vehicle on HWY 10. He shared that the replacement pole is on order and will be installed as soon as they receive it in. He informed the Commission that the driver who hit the pole was uninsured. There was discussion on prosecuting the driver for the offense, and getting a judgment for the costs associated with the damage. Once the final costs are determined, Attorney Beck will be working with staff to determine the best course of action. 6.3

Chair Dietz suggested that he participate in at least one of the meetings via Skype. Mr. Adams stated that staff would set up a meeting for some time next week to go over the requirements of interactive meeting attendance and getting the Skype account setup on his iPad. Commissioner Nadeau asked to also be included in the instructional meeting as he may need to Skype in for the February Commission meeting. 7.0

UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Tom Sagstetter – Conservation and Key Accounts Manager MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: January 8, 2019 2.3 SUBJECT: 2019 Schedule of Rates ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the revisions and additions to the 2019 Schedule of Rates BACKGROUND: In December, the 2019 Annual Business Plan was approved including the 2019 Schedule of Rates & Fees. On the approved rate sheets there were inconsistencies between the Terms of Payment language and the ERMU Service Policies that were revised as a result of multiple billing cycle changes. Additionally, the 2019 Annual Business Plan included one new rate and two clean energy programs that were not finalized at the time of approval. These items are being brought back for Commission approval. DISCUSSION: Staff is proposing to replace the Terms of Payment section in the attached individual rate sheets with a Billing and Terms of Payment section. The revised text will direct customers to the Service Policies for very specific information on billing due dates, penalties, and delinquent notices. This change eliminates the inaccurate information and eliminates the redundancy by directing customers to a single document. The Large Demand Electric Service Rate, along with the two new clean energy programs have been completed. The new rate and clean energy programs were included in the 2019 Budget. The Large Demand Electric Service Rate will be available for customers that receive primary service and have demand greater than 1 MW; it will also serve as an economic development tool to attract large electric use customers. The clean energy choice programs are a result of incorporating the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency Clean Energy Choice program into the portfolio of ERMU programs. These programs allow both residential and commercial customers to purchase renewable energy for an additional fee. Residential customers are able to select from three different participation levels and fees, and commercial customers are able to participate by signing a contract and agreeing to pay an incremental fee per kWh used on a monthly basis.

Demand All Electric Service Rate charge, or the actual demand multiplied by the demand charge, whichever is greater plus $1.00 per kVA per month of excess transformer capacity requested by customer. Determination of Billing Demand: The billing demand shall be the highest measured demand (corrected for power factor if required) during any fifteen (15) minute period occurring in the current billing period. But in no month shall the billing demand be greater than the value in kW determined by dividing the kWh sales for the billing month by 75 hours per month. This billing adjustment applies only if the customer’s peak demand DOES NOT occur between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Fluctuating Loads: Customers operating equipment having a highly fluctuating or large instantaneous demand, such as welders and X-ray machines, shall be required to pay all non-betterment costs of isolating the load from the balance of Elk River Municipal Utilities’ system so that the load will not unduly interfere with service on Elk River Municipal Utilities’ lines. In addition, Customers who fail to provide adequate corrective equipment shall be required to own and maintain their own transformers. No motor larger than ten (10) HP (or 7.355 kW) will be allowed to be across-the-line started without notification and written authorization from Elk River Municipal Utilities. Power Factor Adjustment: For loads of 50 kW or more, or at the option of Elk River Municipal Utilities for loads of less than 50 kW, power factor adjustments may be made in the billing demand, when the power factor, as determined by test, at the time of the Customer’s maximum use is less than 95%. If the power factor, as measured by Elk River Municipal Utilities’ electric department, is lower than 95%, the monthly demand charge may be multiplied by the ratio 95% divided by the measured power factor, or at Elk River Municipal Utilities option, the power factor may be corrected at the Customer’s expense. Terms of Payment: Bills are due and payable upon receipt and are considered delinquent if not paid by the due date noted the bill. There will be a ten (10) percent late payment charge added to all accounts that are not paid by the due date. Billing and Terms of Payment: See ERMU Service Policies Policy (Billing Due Dates, and Penalties and Delinquent Notices.) Terms and Conditions: 1. Usage may be fractionalized on the actual days of service for application of a change in rate. 2. Service will be furnished under Elk River Municipal Utilities rules. 3. Extensions made for service under this schedule are subject to the provisions of Elk River Municipal Utilities’ rules governing Extension of Service and Facilities. 4. The rates set forth herein may be modified by the amount of any governmental changes imposed and levied on transmission, distribution, production, or the sale of electrical power. 5. Exceptions by management approval only.

UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Troy Adams, P.E. – General Manager MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 4.1 January 8, 2019 SUBJECT: Annual Review of Committee Charters ACTION REQUESTED: No action required. BACKGROUND: In August 2017, the commission adopted a comprehensive manual of governance policies based on the Carver Model of governance. Included in those governance policies is Governance Policy G.2g Commission Committees which is attached for reference. This policy notes in statement #5 that “The Commission will review the committee charter and performance of any standing committee at least annually to determine if changes are required or if the committee is still required.” DISCUSSION: The annual review of the committee charters is an opportunity for the commission to review the purpose for the committees and whether or not they are still needed. This also is an opportunity for the commission to give direction to the committees. The schedule of this annual review is intentionally prior to March when the commission appoint committee members. The commission currently has two commission created committees: the Wage & Benefits Committee and the Financial Reserves & Investment Committee. These two committee charters are attached for review and discussion. ATTACHMENT:  Governance Policy G.2g Commission Committees  Governance Policy - G.2g1 - Wage & Benefits Committee Charter  Governance Policy - G.2g2 - Financial Reserves & Investment Committee Charter

Commission Committees

PURPOSE: With this policy, the Commission establishes and communicates its purposes and the means by which it creates and empowers committees to assist the Commission in its work. This policy applies to any group formed by Commission action, whether or not it is called a committee and whether or not the group includes Commission members. It does not apply to committees formed under the authority of the General Manager. POLICY: Commission committees, when created, will be used to reinforce the wholeness of the Commission and never to interfere with the delegation of authority from the Commission to the General Manager or to any officer of the Commission. Commission committees will not have direct involvement with current management and staff employee functions. Consistent with this general statement: 1. The Commission will use committees sparingly and only for as long as required to accomplish its purposes. Committees may be appropriate in circumstances where the Commission recognizes the need for more in-depth review of information and issues, and where a committee is the best way to make effective and efficient use of available Commission member expertise and time. Committees may also be appropriate where it is necessary or desirable for the Commission to visibly demonstrate regulatory compliance or accountability to its stakeholders (e.g. Financial Reserves and Investments Committee). 2. Committees ordinarily will assist the Commission in the following specific ways by: a. Monitoring organization performance metrics and related information; b. Preparing policy alternatives and their implications for Commission deliberation and action; ______________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 of 2 66

ERMU Commission Policy – G.2g Commission Committees ______________________________________________________________________________

c. Determining the level of compliance with existing Commission policies and evaluating the results of policy compliance or non-compliance. 3. When the Commission creates a committee, it will develop and approve by resolution a written committee charter that sets forth the purposes, duration, expected outcomes, leadership, membership, delegated authority, available resources, and other information needed for the committee to function successfully. The General Manager will designate management/staff committee members if so requested. The Commission, by majority vote, will appoint Commission members to committees and remove or replace them, as appropriate. The Commission, by majority vote, will also appoint, remove, and replace a Committee Chair, Vice-Chair and any other positions of leadership that the Commission determines appropriate. 4. The Commission recognizes that appointments to a Committee provide opportunities for learning and Governance development. Accordingly, the Commission endeavors to appoint Commission members to committee leadership positions who do not already hold a Commission office. 5. The Commission will review the committee charter and performance of any standing committee at least annually to determine if changes are required or if the committee is still required. 6. Commission committees may not convene a meeting that includes a quorum of the Commission. 7. Commission committees may not speak or act for the Commission except when formally given such authority for specific and time-limited purposes. Expectations and authorities will be carefully stated in order not to conflict with authority delegated to the General Manager or Commission Chair. 8. Commission committees may not exercise authority over management and staff employees. The General Manager is accountable to the whole Commission and is not required to obtain approval of any Commission committee before taking an executive action. 9. Commission committees will avoid relating to or identifying with discrete parts of the organization rather than the whole. A Commission committee that has helped the Commission create policy on a particular subject will not be used to monitor organizational performance on that same subject, except with specific Commission approval.

UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Theresa Slominski – Finance & Office Manager MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: January 8, 2019 5.1 SUBJECT: Financial Report – November 2018 ACTION REQUESTED: Receive the November 2018 Financial Report DISCUSSION: Electric P&L November’s electric kWh sales are up from the prior year, 4%. For further breakdown:  Residential usage is up 6%  Small Commercial usage is down 3%  Large Commercial usage is up 5% Electric Operating Revenue for November was $2,863,304, on target with the prior year but 3% below budget. This revenue included PCAs of $166,248.94, which offsets against revenue, reducing the actual number. 2017 included the pro-forma adjustment to show the demand adjustment credit being funded through reserves. Without this adjustment in 2017, November revenue would be 1% ahead of prior year and 9% ahead of prior YTD. Other Revenue of $192,503 is ahead of the prior year by 18%, and 23% above prior YTD. Other Revenue is also 45% above YTD budget which is largely due to the Contribution from the City of Otsego for its street lights and interest on funds paid in advance for MMPA buy-in. Overall, Total Revenues of $3,055,808 are ahead of prior year by less than 1% and ahead of prior YTD by 9%. YTD Total Revenues are ahead of budget by 6%. Purchased Power of $1,950,511 is above the prior year by 9%, and above budget by 5%. YTD costs are more than prior year by 6%, and are above YTD budget by 3%. Administrative Expenses of $282,712 are more than prior year by 9% which is mainly driven by safety training usually occurring in December, but are on target with budget. YTD costs are more than prior year by 6% which is mainly driven by bond issuance services/fees, but are under budget by 9%. General Expenses of $14,349 are 83% under budget, and are 52% under budget YTD.

______________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 of 2 76

For expenses, in total they are 10% more than the prior year, and 7% more than prior YTD, and are over budget YTD by 1%. For November 2018, the Electric Department has a Net Profit of $209,262 and YTD Net Profit of $3,093,302. This is slightly behind the budgeted monthly Net Profit of $271,562, and behind the prior year monthly Net Profit of $435,425, but is significantly ahead of prior YTD Net Profit of $2,358,413 and YTD Budget.

Water P&L November gallons of water sold up 1% from the prior year. For further breakdown:  Residential use down 2%  Commercial use up 3% Water Operating Revenue for November was $153,861, 4% ahead of prior year and ahead of YTD budget by 12% and ahead of prior YTD by 9%. Other Revenues of $69,393 are ahead of the prior year by 15%, but behind prior YTD by 10%. The main drivers causing the prior YTD variance are Contributions from Developers and Connection Fees. Other Revenues are ahead of YTD budget by 178%. Overall, Total Revenues of $223,255 are ahead of the prior year by 7%, and ahead of prior YTD by 3% with Water Sales being the driving force. YTD Total Revenues are ahead of budget by 36%. Expenses are less than the prior year by 2%, and are under YTD budget by 8%.

UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Troy Adams, P.E. – General Manager MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: January 8, 2019 5.2 SUBJECT: Wage & Benefits Committee Update ACTION REQUESTED: No action required BACKGROUND: At the November 2018 commission meeting, the commission directed the Wage & Benefits Committee (W&BC) to benchmark the management pay group and report back to the commission at the December 2018 meeting. The W&BC recommended to the commission at the December meeting to hire a third party to perform the management group benchmarking. The commission supported the committee’s request and directed staff to research potential consultants and report back to the commission in January 2019. DISCUSSION: Staff has identified three potential consultants to perform the work: Lockton Companies, MRA, and Mark Fritsch Consulting. Initial conference calls have been conducted with all three to review project scope. Staff is developing a refined scope and request for proposal to send to these three consultants. The proposals will be reviewed by the W&BC and a recommendation will be made at a commission meeting in either February or March.

DISCUSSION:  The bulletproof glass at the front counter was installed after business hours on Friday, December 14. It looks very professional and still provides a good customer service experience. We are able to dialogue with customers, as the arched glass pieces allow sound to transfer easily, and there is no distortion or reduction in volume. 

Final power cost adjustment (PCA) totals distributed to customers throughout December were $258,717.57.



Inventory counts were completed December 27, 2018 and went very well. The new Inventory person hired at the end of February 2018 did a great job organizing the electric inventory throughout the year which facilitated a very efficient final inventory count. Final results for electric were 98.96% inventory accuracy, and 100% for water.



Early Performance Metrics Incentive Compensation preliminary reporting for 2018 4th quarter is attached, which shows a score of 85 out of 100. The missing 15 points are from two sub-categories: the Customer Satisfaction metric of 89%, which is under the goal of > 90%, worth 5 points, and the Employee Turnover metric of 9.09%, which is over the goal of < 7.5%, and worth 10 points. Final presentation of this will be in April 2019 when the financial audit is completed and those final numbers are available. We will need to accrue this expense for the audit and will be using the score of 85 and the multiplier of 100% for our calculations, effectively 1.7% of the possible 2%.

FROM: Mark Fuchs – Electric Superintendent AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 6.1c

DISCUSSION:  We had 17 new house services.  Continue working on collecting data with the GPS for our ArcView maps as time permits.  Finished with the removal of poles that were located in the rear lot line in Otsego.  Continue to work on the replacement of 16 poles that didn’t pass inspection. This task will be performed as a fill in between other jobs as they come in.  Completed our annual inventory count of materials; the preliminary numbers look good.  We went through the street lights that have a controller that turn on multiple lights at once to fix the ones not working.  Started tree trimming.  We had a switchgear fail that feeds United Health Group. They used their backup generators until the power was restored. We are working with the manufacturer of the switchgear to determine the cause of the failure.  Changed out 29 street light fixtures to LED in the Lafayette Woods and Cherrywood Hills Addition.  We had to redo the secondary wire at BZ Elk River apartments (original Guardian Angels) on 925 Angel Street; this allowed them to transition from one meter for the entire building to 25 separate meters.  We recently discovered a storm sewer that was damaged at 18233 Carson Court. Matt Stevens with the sewer department attempted to jet it out, but was unable. After digging it up, Brentenson Excavating determined that it had been unknowingly damaged by a contractor that had installed primary wire the fall of 2005. Brenteson Excavating replaced the damaged pipe and fixed the sidewalk that needed to be removed for the pipe repair. As the installation occurred over ten years ago, we were unable to file an insurance claim with the League of Minnesota Cities. Additionally, as this happen back in 2005 we are unsure if the storm sewer pipe was even located at the time the wire was installed, so the City has offered to split the cost for repairs with ERMU. There will need to be some landscape work done in the spring.  Zac Johnson and Mitch Girtz attended the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association (MMUA) Transformer School December 11-14 in Marshall, MN.

FROM: Tom Sagstetter – Conservation & Key Accounts Manager AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 6.1f

DISCUSSION:  In the last month, the level two charger downtown had 5 sessions, and provided customers with 44 kWh of green energy. The charger in the ERMU/City Hall parking lot had 7 sessions and provided customers with 117 kWh of green energy. The DC fast charger at the Coborn’s fuel station had 16 sessions and provided 248 kWh of green energy to customers. The pricing at the public charging stations have now been changed to reflect energy only. The connection fees have been eliminated. The rates for 2019 are $0.20 for all energy at the DC Fast Charger and $0.15 for all energy at the Level Two chargers.  Completed the 2019 updates to the commercial rebate forms. The new forms were made available to the public on December 28, and look better than ever thanks to our communications coordinator. The total rebate budget for 2019 is $264,000.  Participated in discussion with the Drive Electric Minnesota policy work group. The upcoming year has great potential for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure as Phase 1 implementation ($11.75 million) of the Volkswagen (VW) settlement ramps up. This will be a key topic as work group discussions continue for the implementation of Phase 2 ($23.5 million) of the VW settlement.  Began working with Dave Berg Consulting to develop a standby rate. This rate will be utilized for large industrial customers that wish to self-generate. This rate will allow ERMU to recover the costs of maintaining the facilities required to meet the customer’s needs should they need to rely on ERMU.  Staff will work to meet with key commercial customers over the next couple weeks to discuss the new rates for 2019.  ERMU received notice that Prime Advertising & Design received a national award for the EV/ER Electric Vehicle Wrap in 2018. The award was provided by Graphic Design USA. ATTACHMENT:  Minnesota Pollution Control Agency - Executive Summary: Volkswagen Settlement Beneficiary Mitigation Plan – April 2018

______________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 of 1 104

Minnesota’s Volkswagen settlement state plan Executive summary The settlement In 2016 Volkswagen Corporation was caught violating air pollution standards for nitrogen oxides (NOX) in its diesel cars and SUVs. Their vehicles were producing 30-40 times more pollution than allowed by law. The federal government took VW to court and on October 2, 2017, the Department of Justice and VW signed a $15 billion settlement. A portion of the settlement – $2.9 billion – will be shared among the U.S. states and tribes, based on the number of violating vehicles registered in each jurisdiction. Minnesota’s share is $47 million. Governor Dayton designated the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to manage the settlement funds, which will be spent over 10 years on projects to offset the excess pollution from the violating vehicles. States can develop programs and fund projects that make the most sense for them, within the boundaries set by the settlement. Because VW’s violations involved diesel models, the settlement will fund pollution reductions from diesel vehicles. States and tribes can only use the funds on activities outlined in the settlement, most of which involve replacing older diesel vehicles or equipment with new ones that produce far less pollution. The replacements can use any fuel, including diesel, propane, natural gas, and electricity. Replacements allowed under the settlement are: · · · · · · · ·

Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks School, transit, and shuttle buses Switcher locomotives Ferry, tug, and tow boats Shore power for ocean-going vessels Airport ground support equipment Forklifts and port cargo-handling equipment Construction equipment (by supplementing the existing Diesel Emission Reduction Act)

Additionally, up to 15% of each state’s funds may be used for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. All funds must be spent or committed to approved projects by October 2, 2027.

Minnesota’s plan States must develop plans for using their settlement funds and submit them for approval to the Trustee managing the funds nationally. Minnesota’s plan involves three phases of funding for five grant programs, over 10 years. Once it’s approved, the MPCA can begin requesting proposals for projects and issuing grants.

Goals The MPCA will use the state’s settlement funds to support a healthy environment for all Minnesotans and achieve significant emissions reductions across the state, especially in those communities most impacted by vehicle pollution. Because 60% of the violating vehicles were registered in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and 40% were registered in Greater Minnesota, the funds will be targeted using the same 60%-40% ratio. We will invest in communities disproportionately impacted by air pollution, both in the Twin Cities area and in Greater Minnesota. In developing the grant programs and selecting projects for funding, we will balance project costs with emissions reductions and other benefits.

Three phases Minnesota’s plan is structured in three phases, so the MPCA can seek additional input and make changes as needed along the way. This plan addresses Phase 1 (2018-2019) only. The three phases are: · · ·

Phase 1: $11.75 million (25% of overall funds) – 2018-2019 Phase 2: $23.5 million (50%) – 2020-2023 Phase 3: $11.75 million (25%) – 2024-2027

Five grant programs in Phase 1 (2018-2019) Minnesota will manage the VW settlement funds through five grant programs that will allow different vehicle and equipment types to be compared with each other through the grant process. With these investments in 2018 and 2019, the MPCA expects to reduce approximately 1,152-1,228 tons of nitrogen oxides, 41-60 tons of fine particles, and 21,18834,751 tons of greenhouse gases.

Outreach and input The MPCA is committed to developing a program that benefits all Minnesotans and reflects the needs and desires of people across the state. The agency sought input statewide for more than a year. Before drafting the state plan, we held nine public meetings and four stakeholder meetings, kept interested people up to date with informational email bulletins, received nearly 300 written comments and over 800 responses to online surveys, sought input from the MPCA’s Environmental Justice Advisory Group, and posted information and data on a website. We released a draft of the state plan and gave Minnesotans the opportunity to tell us if we did a good job reflecting their input. We held seven public meetings, one webinar meeting, and one stakeholder meeting, and received over 580 written comments. All the information gathered during this process is available at www.pca.state.mn.us/vw. We also encourage anyone interested in applying for funds in the future, to go to our website and sign up to receive our emails.
