MINUTES of the SPECIAL MEETING of the BOARD of DIRECTORS of

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY Tuesday, December 17, 2019, 2:00 P.M.,

Agency Board Room, 2310 Oro-Quincy Hwy., Oroville, California DIRECTORS PRESENT: James Edwards, Tod Hickman, John Starr, Dennis Moreland, Rick Wulbern DIRECTORS ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT: Dan Shipman, Project Engineer; Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager; Rath

Moseley, General Manager; Dustin Cooper, Legal Counsel; John Shipman, Water Treatment Superintendent; Jaymie Perrin EH&S Manager; Dan Leon, Power Division Manager; Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager; Kristen McKillop, Regulatory Compliance Coordinator; Rick McCullough, Water Division Foreman

STAFF ABSENT: Art Martinez, Manager Information Systems OTHERS PRESENT: Valerie Navarro, Grant Hornbeak CALL TO ORDER President Hickman called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m., and led the Pledge of Allegiance. APPROVAL OF MINUTES M/S (Wulbern/Moreland) approving the Minutes of the regular meeting of November 26, 2019. Ayes: Hickman, Edwards, Starr APPROVAL OF CHECKS AND WARRANTS M/S (Starr/Wulbern) Ayes: Moreland, Edwards, Hickman Approving the total General Fund and Joint Facilities operating fund expenditures for the month of November, 2019 in the amount of $1,310,748.15 and authorize the transfer of $2,000,000.00 from the TCB General Fund to the TCB Accounts Payable and Payroll Fund for the payment of regular operating expenses. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT The General Manager communicated the following: Water Intertie A meeting was conducted with the California management team of a neighboring water provider. It was agreed that a local domestic water intertie would be of value and are working on the specifics of volume, price and time of year deliveries. If an agreement can be negotiated there is the potential for multiple intertie connections between the two water provider systems in the future. Lake Wyandotte A business plan for the Lake Wyandotte Sports and Education Park dated December 2019 was delivered to the Agency for review. Each board director has a copy and the project packet for consideration and the stakeholders are seeking commitment from SFWPA to lease district property for development of the business plan infrastructure. Public participant Grant Hornbeak answered questions to the Board about the project. 401 Water Quality Certification A letter has been sent to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requesting consideration to void the SWRCB 401 Water Quality Certification. Failure to act within the prescribed time period nullifies and voids the associated conditions with the 401 WQC. Omitting the WQC’s conditions from the license will have no adverse environmental impacts because the relevant resources are adequately protected by other conditions in the license and will eliminate conflicts and impediments to SFWPA’s implementation of the new license and the Commission’s administration and oversight.

FINANCE MANAGER'S REPORT The Finance Manager communicated the following: 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 September 28, 2019 amount to $5,264,234. As previously reported, additional work on this project has been placed on hold. Financial Reports The regular monthly financial reports for activity through November 30, 2019 were presented. WATER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Water Division Manager communicated the following: Water Treatment Operations The total MRTP treated water production for the month of November totaled 137 million gallons which is 151% of the monthly average based on the recent 10 year period (table at right). The 2019 January through November cumulative water demand and production is at 1.7 billion gallons of water and is 101% percent of recent average for the period (see chart at the end of this report). All drinking water bacteriological requirements were met for the Miners Ranch and Bangor distribution systems. Strawberry Creek Campground was closed for the season on September 5th and Sly Creek Campground was closed on October 5th. Distribution crews utilized power division excavator to clear out the old solids handling sludge basin. The basin has been part of our backwash handling which used to discharge waste water to the reservoir. The Improvement project eliminated the highly regulated waste discharge and eliminated the primary usefulness of the basin. Domestic Distribution 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. Rockridge and Coventry Drive Pipeline Replacement Project #2019-54a Distribution crews continue to installing new pipeline, fire hydrant, and water service infrastructure which will be activated in phases over in the next couple of months. Irrigation System Operations The current irrigation operations are:

Forbestown Ditch SF 14 = 0 cfs NYWD = 0 cfs

SFWPA @ WD 6 = 0 cfs Bangor Canal SF 25 = 11 cfs Palermo Canal SF30 = 6 cfs

POWER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Power Division Manager communicated the following: Operations The Power Division Summary Report, Reservoir Storage Report, and Precipitation Report for November 2019 were presented. 2020 water season began on October 1. DWR Bulletin 120 precipitation and snowpack reporting will resume in 2020. Project reservoirs are not spilling. South Fork tunnel is flowing at approx. 250 CFS; Slate Creek tunnel is closed.

• Kelly Ridge Powerhouse: Powerhouse annual maintenance and Turbine Shutoff Valve replacement in process. Scheduled for completion by January 6, 2020.

• Sly Creek Powerhouse: Powerhouse fully operational.

• PG&E performed the following outage for transmission line repairs and maintenance:

o Four-day 115-kV transmission line maintenance outage occurred November 12 to 15. Outage interrupted the operation of Sly Creek PH, Woodleaf PH, and Forbestown PH.

The increased number of PG&E maintenance outages are part of their Wildfire Safety Program to perform power pole repairs, and tree / brush clearing near electric lines. Agency has attempted to schedule maintenance tasks at powerhouses and other facilities during PG&E outages. PG&E communicated that one Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) operation was scheduled to occur in November. The PSPS event was cancelled by PG&E, immediately before their scheduled shut off time. SFWPA crews had previously removed all powerhouses from operation in preparation for the PSPS event, which did not occur. Powerhouses were restored thereafter. The PG&E maintenance outages and PSPS events significantly reduced hydro generation revenues in November.

Regulatory Compliance FERC Emergency Action Plan (EAP) annual inter-agency meeting was held at SFWPA facilities on December 11. EAP call-down drill will be conducted on December 12.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Rath Moseley, General Manager Dan Leon, Power Division Manager DATE: January 22, 2020 RE: Sunset Hill Communication Site

Agenda Item for 1/28/20 Board of Directors Meeting This is a follow up item from the November 2019 Board Meeting where representatives from Digital Path were to present a request to SFWPA allowing cameras to be installed on the Sunset Communications Tower for a project called Alert Wildfire. Digital Path was not present at the November meeting, so it was agreed to table the topic until a future date was communicated. On January 22, 2020 the agency received the following communication and therefore an information item is added to the agenda to allow time for commentary, Q&A and public comment. Dan- Kyle and Myself are still planning on being at the board meeting to discuss the camera installs and 3 device upgrades to a new model we are using. These new device upgrades will allow us to eventually strip most of the older devices off the tower as they can handle more users per access point. Best Regards, Tyler Marsh Field Operations Manager Please note that this communication is the first time SFWPA staff has been made aware of “3 device upgrades” and look forward to reviewing the proposal. The following pages are from the November 2019 Digital Path proposal for camera install.

1065 Marauder Street, Chico, CA 95973 530-899-7884/fax 530-899-7787

Executive Summary:

DigitalPath, Inc. is requesting to install 2 PTZ cameras on the Sunset Tower. The cameras will become part of the ALERTWildfire network, assisting with the early detection and monitoring of wildfires in the surrounding area. Butte CalFire Chief Hawks specifically requested Sunset because ALERTWildfire has a dead spot in camera coverage in the Forbestown area.

Introduction:

DigitalPath, Inc. has been a long-time tenant on the Sunset Tower, providing Broadband connections to other tenants at the site as well as the surrounding communities. ALERTWildfire, a consortium of 3 universities, recognized the need for additional fire watch cameras in Northern California and approached DigitalPath, Inc. about installing and maintaining cameras for the ALERTWildfire system.

Detailed Description:

DigitalPath, Inc. proposes installing 2 cameras on the Sunset Tower due to its vantage point and the viewing area it would provide. As with previous hardware additions, DigitalPath, Inc. would like to amend its current Lease with South Feather Water and Power Agency to allow the installation of these 2 cameras.

The proposal requests the installation of 2 cameras on separate legs of the tower at an AGL of 160’ or as close to the top as possible. These cameras will be mounted on 5’ Galvanized poles with a powder coated 180-degree bend at the top for the camera to ‘hang’ from. These mounts will be attached to the tower via adjustable mounts to accommodate the lean of the tower leg. Each camera will operate via POE protocol with a single Cat 6 cable running from each camera back down to our equipment in the shelter.

Justification for Project:

The ALERTWildfire camera system will help all first responders and fire agencies detect and respond immediately to fires to stop rapid fire growth and help warn towns and communities of the incident. Through the website www.alertwildfire.org the public will have viewing access to the cameras (as well as all other cameras in the system) to see what first responders are seeing.

Project Budget:

The budget for this project is five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) including hardware and installation of the system.

Project Schedule:

The projected schedule once it is approved, can be installed and operational within two (2) business days on site.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager DATE: January 22, 2020 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 1/28/20 Board of Directors Meeting 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 September 28, 2019 amount to $5,264,234. As previously reported, additional work on this project has been placed on hold. Consumption Reports Water consumption reports for the past ten years are included this month for your review. 2019 consumption at the Miners Ranch Treatment Plant was 3% less than 2018, while the Bangor Treatment Plant saw a 21% increase in consumption over 2018. Irrigation water consumption was less for all four canals, between 3.5% and 16.5% less in 2019 when compared with 2018. CalPERS temporary upgrade pay review A draft report by CalPERS on the results of the review of Temporary Upgrade Pay by the Agency was received in December. As previously discussed, the Sunday shift premium pay will no longer be reported to CalPERS as special compensation unless and until the compensation is contained in a written labor policy, retroactive earnings adjustments will be reported in the periods earned and not as Temporary Upgrade Pay items and no hourly payrates will exceed the maximum payrates identified in publically available and approved pay schedules. Payment processing Conversion to a new payment processing platform has just started. When the conversion is complete, additional methods of paying bills will be available to SFWPA customers including 24/7 telephone accessibility, payment by text or email and other electronic payment methods. Savings of approximately $1,000 per month will be realized when the conversion is complete. Form 700 The California Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700, Statement of Economic Interests, will be distributed to Board members at today’s meeting. The due date for returning the completed forms to me is April 1, 2020.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager DATE: January 23, 2020 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 1/28/20 Board of Directors Meeting Water Treatment Operations

The total MRTP treated water production for the month of December totaled 79.3 million gallons which is 106% of the monthly average based on the recent 10 year period (table at right). The 2019 January through December cumulative water demand and production is at 1.75 billion gallons of water and is 102% percent of recent average for the period (see chart at the end of this report). All drinking water bacteriological requirements were met for the Miners Ranch and Bangor distribution systems. Urban Water Conservation (AB-1668 and SB606)

The Water Conservation and Drought Planning Act was signed into effect May 2018. There are many milestones in the legislation and news reporting media reports have provided inaccurate and misleading statements about this legislation. The Agency has had numerous calls about customer and agency impact so I thought it appropriate to share some additional information SFWPA is basically aligned with ACWA in being very critical about this legislation. It is very redundant and arduous in the information and implementation of the law. Following are comments from ACWA (representing approximately 440 public water agencies responsible for delivery of over 90% of the water used for residential, commercial and agricultural purposes) to the SWRCB:

The legislation should be revised to eliminate all references to “waste and unreasonable use of water” as a purpose that would be advanced by this rule.

It is not appropriate to use Residential Gallons Per Capita Day (R-GPCD) water use data for comparisons across water suppliers. Factors that can affect per capita water include: Rainfall, temperature, and evaporation rates, Population growth, and Population density, Socio-economic measures such as lot size and income, and Water prices. Urban water suppliers across the state have invested significant resources over many decades to ensure self-reliance during periods of drought. Given that R-GPCD is not an adequate metric to use in determining water use efficiency and it is not aligned with the water use efficiency target-setting process under AB 1668 and SB 606 process, we request that it now be discontinued by the State Water Board.

Miners Ranch Production December 2019

Total (MG) 79 (106% of Avg)

High (MGD) 5.8

Low (MGD) 2.9

Avg. (MGD) 4.6

Below are facts on the long-term water efficiency legislation that was signed into effect May 2018.

• Water agencies are required to calculate a water efficiency standard for their entire service area annually based on indoor residential water use; outdoor water use; and commercial, industrial and institutional irrigation.

• The standard of 55 gallons per person per day for indoor residential water use is not intended as an enforceable standard for individuals. It is one of several elements used to calculate the overall efficiency standard for a service area.

• Individuals will not be responsible for State Water Resources Control Board fines. Instead, the State Water Board can fine water agencies up to $10,000 per day if the agency does not meet its cumulative standard.

• There is no law against showering and doing laundry on the same day. There are no specific statewide laws that require individual households to meet any specific targets. The targets will be set for an entire service area and are scheduled to go into effect in 2023.

CALTRANS Olive Highway Hwy 162 Widening and Turn Pocket Project The project is consists of a significant reconstruction of Hwy 162 between Arbol Ave and Gold Country Casino where SFWPA has water distribution infrastructure in conflict with the proposed construction. The widening and vertical modifications affect many utilities including a significant effort by PG&E electrical. The project will require land acquisitions and additional right-of-way. SFWPA has been working with Caltrans engineering to identify relocation plans for our existing pipes, valves, hydrants, conduits, and services that may conflict with this significant project. Domestic Distribution 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. Rockridge and Coventry Drive Pipeline Replacement Project #2019-54a As time permits, distribution crews continue to install new pipeline, fire hydrant, and water service infrastructure. The new mainline is anticipated to be completed this week after which a crew will begin relocating meter services to the new mainline over in the next couple of months. Irrigation System Operations The current irrigation operations are:

Forbestown Ditch SF 14 = 0 cfs NYWD = 0 cfs

SFWPA @ WD 6 = 0 cfs Bangor Canal SF 25 = 11 cfs Palermo Canal SF30 = 6 cfs

Work crews are trying to take advantage of the off-season to proceed with irrigation system betterments, as weather allows, including replacing culverts and shotcrete application in addition the normal duties and domestic distribution projects.

Coats for Kids – Employee Donations

Agency staff kicked off our 2nd Annual Kids’ Coat Drive on November 22nd. On December 19th, 90 coats that were completely gift wrapped and tagged for distribution were loaded up. The coats varied in sizes and colors that allowed boys and girls of all ages to stay warm this winter season. The coats made their way to Christmas events hosted by the Oroville Rescue Mission and The Hope Center. The large amount of wrapped gifts began to get some attention in the lobby this year and it has even been asked if we could be a drop off point beyond our employees’ efforts for this year’s Christmas season. We had set a goal of 100 for this year’s coat drive, but we are absolutely thrilled at how close we came and the idea of being a drop off spot for next year.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Rath Moseley, General Manager DATE: January 17, 2020 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 1/28/20 Board of Directors Meeting 2020 Capital Project Timelines and Water Expansion Staff has completed the 2020 project timelines to align with the adopted budget. The Environmental Health & Safety and Information Technology projects will be monitored by fiscal quarters for completion. Power Division projects are identified by Location, Category (Capital, Maintenance, Compliance, and Safety), Staffing requirements and Gantt chart timelines. Water Division projects are identified by Description and Timelines. Water maintenance projects are heavily focused on open conveyance improvements and a few pipeline efficiency loss replacements. Water expansion is targeted for a portion of the community line on Foothill Blvd. starting in April. A Community Improvement Investment Program project plan with residents in the Bangor, Orange/Avocado area has been produced. A meeting with stakeholders will be requested by the agency during quarter one to review cost, schedule, performance and validate alignment for implementation. The Path to Carbon Free Flows Though Hydropower – by the National Hydropower Association Below are highlights on the National Hydropower Associations stance and efforts to drive the recognition of Hydropower as a renewable resource. SFWPA has been actively involved in support and education efforts towards a shift in California’s political view of a carbon free portfolio. (Malcolm Woolf, president and CEO) Goals should be lofty. They should inspire us to achieve the things that are just beyond our reach. Decarbonizing our national electricity grid is a worthy aspiration, and getting there is attainable. But, while solar, wind and battery storage may grab the headlines, a simple truth is often overlooked – we can’t achieve deep decarbonization of our electricity system without hydropower.

Why? Because hydropower is the nation’s first renewable resource, providing clean, carbon-free energy to roughly 30 million Americans, and 40 percent of the United States’ overall renewable electricity. In addition, hydropower is flexible enough to integrate increasing amounts of wind and solar onto the grid. That

flexibility allows it to quickly provide dispatchable generation to balance the minute-by-minute electricity generation variations caused by cloud cover, wind gusts, or fuel-supply disruptions from non-renewable resources.

“Pumped storage hydropower facilities are like sponges; they absorb excess energy from the grid and store it for later. All of which is to say, hydropower is the renewable resource that integrates the other renewables”.

Hydropower too often gets ignored on the federal and the state levels.

Reaching a 100 percent clean energy target is a moonshot that states throughout the country are increasingly attempting. Some states understand the value of hydropower’s contribution. Washington state, for example, passed legislation requiring 100 percent clean electricity by 2045. The bill allows all existing hydropower generation to be used for compliance, and for hydropower to generate renewable energy credits.

At the other end of the spectrum, California’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) only counts hydropower projects under 30 megawatts as an eligible renewable or zero emission energy source. This is despite the fact that hydropower generated nearly 13 percent of the state's total power. The absence of hydropower from California’s RPS runs counter to its need for energy storage. In 2016, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory determined that for California to reach 50 percent solar, it would need another 15 gigawatts of storage by 2030. The need for more pumped storage hydropower couldn’t be more glaring.

No other energy source protects and preserves our natural ecosystems, while providing recreational opportunities for families, like hydro.

We must protect our existing hydro assets. Red-tape and bureaucratic infighting between federal and state regulators has resulted in dozens of hydropower relicensing proceedings dragging on for well over a decade.

Hydropower deserves far greater attention in the nation’s energy and climate policy debates. It is critical to the vitality of the nation’s clean energy and carbon-free future. Hydropower needs more than a fresh look. It deserves a seat at the table.

SFWPA’s Hydro Asset Portfolio is becoming more attractive within the energy purchase community

because of the ability to respond quickly to grid demand and supply in “real time” or Resource Adequacy

(RA). There are three types of capacity and the South Feather project offers all options, however the power

project is most valuable as Flexible Capacity serving load demands when solar does not produce or store.

• System Capacity: These requirements help keep the lights on during the annual “peak load,”

when California uses the most electricity. Peak load usually happens on a hot summer day when

everyone turns on their air conditioning. The exact requirements are determined by forecasting the

next year’s peak load and adding 15% just to be safe.

• Local Capacity: These requirements help keep the lights on in certain local areas during grid

emergencies. For example, a grid emergency might entail a combination of a transmission line to a

local area going down and a power plant in the local area going out. Different requirements are

determined for each local area by studying worst-case-scenario grid emergencies in each area.

• Flexible Capacity: These requirements help keep the lights on in the evening when solar

generation is winding down and people are starting to use more electricity after coming home from

work. Because solar generation tapers off in the evenings when electricity demand is still high,

these requirements ensure we have enough flexible resources that can start producing electricity

quickly. These requirements are different for each month of the year, and they are based on the

largest forecasted three-hour “ramp,” or increase in electricity demand.

SFWPA’s current power purchase agreement includes RA and the advantage of having this ability within

the portfolio provides greater value to the forward looking market. Water Intertie As a follow-up to district discussions on a domestic water intertie project initiated in 2019, both parties are reviewing true volume need and financial commitment options to SFWPA. Next discussions will be in early February. If an agreement can be reached, implementation would be forecasted for mid-year. Key items to resolve:

1. Annual Volume 2. Price per Acre Foot 3. Intertie location (two options available) 4. Dual service for both water providers (yes/no) 5. Who funds the hardware implementation

For SFWPA, the largest hurdle to overcome is an acceptable price for treated water supply.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Rath Moseley, General Manager DATE: January 18, 2020 RE: Change in Service Fee

Agenda Item for 1/28/20 Board of Directors Meeting At its November 2019 meeting, the Board approved the mailing of a proposition 218 notice of proposed water rate change with a public hearing to be conducted on Tuesday January 28, 2020 during the South Feather Water and Power Agency regular board meeting. The service fee rate change is shown below including commentary from the proposition 218 notice about the reasons for the fee change and the right to protest. Why is the increase necessary? South Feather Water and Power Agency rates to provide water have been kept artificially low. The current low rates assume a significant financial contribution from the generation and sell of hydropower each year through a power purchase agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Unfortunately, over the past nine years, hydropower revenues have not met forecasted expectations. Some explanations for the decrease in revenue include:

1. Federal and State policies encouraging alternative energy sources, specifically solar and wind power, resulting in less demand for hydropower and lower prices for the energy produced.

2. Dam Safety, Regulatory License Requirements have increased costs to the Agency. 3. Water conservation efforts have resulted in a 10% decrease in water sales revenue.

The basis of the proposed changes in service fee. As referenced prior, the change in service fee is due to the decrease in power revenues to the Agency. On July 1, 2010, the Agency assumed full responsibility for the ownership, operation, maintenance and sale of power from the South Feather Hydroelectric Project. Based on the actual energy production to date (9 years), the operations of the South Feather Power Project have provided volatile and declining revenues to the Agency. This is primarily driven by the widespread installation of residential and commercial solar and wind turbines throughout the state and most recently the Public Safety Power Shutoff program by PG&E.

2

A substantial amount of hydropower revenue is required to finance the capital requirements of the Agency, including water treatment, storage, and distribution system repairs. A portion of the revenues from the South Feather Power Project can be used by the Agency to offset the cost of delivered water. From a customer’s standpoint, this means that hydroelectric revenues provide funds to the Agency which it can use to offset the cost of its water operations. The proposed change in service fee reflects a rate for water use which is still far below the cost of producing and delivering water, which costs are being subsidized by the use of the revenue produced by the Agency’s hydroelectric facilities. The remaining balance of hydroelectric revenues must be used to finance the Agency’s capital expenses, including the costs of the hydroelectric system, The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission License and to fund required reserves. The amount of the proposed fee or charge proposed to be imposed. The flat service fee for domestic treated water will change from the current $15.00 to $19.00 per month. The flat service fee for irrigation water will change from the current $17.50 to $21.50 per month. Reason for the proposed change in service fee. The Agency’s Board of Directors has determined that the rate of transmission, treatment, and distribution of water be closer aligned with actual operational costs. Article XIII D(6) of the California Constitution, approved by the voters as Proposition 218 in 1996, mandates that the Agency charge its customers based on the cost of the service delivered and, with the subsidy from power, each unit delivered by the Agency costs the same amount to produce. Finally, the Board believes the fairest approach is to moderately subsidize the cost of domestic water with the current value of power revenues. How does the service fee increase benefit me? The adjustments to the service fee assists with funds to continue operating as an independent, not-for-profit special district governed by individuals chosen and elected by the community. The proposed service fee will help reduce the reliance on hydropower revenue as California continues to migrate towards mainstream solar. You have a right to protest the proposed changes. Oral protests will be heard at the public hearing described above. Written protests will also be considered at that time. Please be advised that if the written protests received are filed prior to the close of the public hearing by more than 50% of landowners subject to the Agency’s rates and charges, then the Board will not implement the proposed change. Only written protests will be counted for this purpose, and only one protest will be counted for each parcel. Written protests should be directed to the Agency at the following address: At this writing, twenty-six written protests have been received. This represents 0.35% of SFWPA water customers. Analytics data in which the protests were received are as follows on the next page.

3

Property value profile of the protests range from $56K - $613K. Public Hearing on Proposed Service Fee Change Before you consider approving the proposed change in rates, the public hearing must be held. The public hearing is initiated by the President “opening” the hearing and allowing interested individuals to comment on the proposed change in service fee. Comments about anything not related to the change in fee is not appropriate during the hearing. This is a time for customer’s to make comments to the Board that they feel are necessary for an objective decision about approving the change in rates. The Board’s responsibility is to listen. You may also ask questions. You are not required, however, to debate the proposal with presenters since your job is to evaluate the information they provide and determine if the proposed change in fee is appropriate.

4

When everyone in the audience has had an opportunity to address the Board on the issue, the President will “close” the public hearing and move on to the Board’s consideration of adopting the change in service fee. The form of action for approval is:

"I move approval of adopting Resolution No. 20-28-01, Authorizing Increases in Rates and Charges for Water Service as specified in Part D of the Agency’s Rules and Regulations”.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES M/S/Unanimous (Wulbern/Moreland) approving the Minutes of the regular meeting of December 18, 2018. APPROVAL OF CHECKS AND WARRANTS M/S/Unanimous (Hickman/Moreland) approving the total General Fund and Joint Facilities Operating fund expenditures for the month of December, 2018 in the amount of $1,126,021.54; approval of Power Division expenditures for the month of December, 2018 in the amount of $4,256,699.43; and, authorize the transfer of $2,000,000.00 from the TCB General Fund to the TCB Accounts Payable and Payroll Fund for the payment of regular operating expenses. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Roger Bailey shared that a friend of his who lost their home in the Camp Fire has purchased a lot in Oroville and connecting to SFWPA. Hopes to see more growth within the district. Mr. Bailey inquired about the status of historical bonds and if they were still outstanding. Mr. Bailey communicated that he is in favor of the agency considering a water rate adjustment while keeping in mind we are to operate as a non-profit entity. He then shared that we need to keep in mind that the SFPP was put in place to increase the revenues of the district and the beneficiaries of that would be the customers and keeping water rates low. Mr. Bailey continued with we need to get more irrigation water and not lose sight of that. He would ask that we re-examine past practices and determine how to reach more with irrigation. Mr. Bailey challenged the Board if they knew the efficiency of our power generation and if not why. Mr. Bailey states that looking at the chart in the Board packet you cannot really determine what the power generation efficiency is.

Ron Fink communicated that he provided the General Manager with some historical documentation that he did not have. Mr. Fink is concerned that in the agency files there are items that should be there like missing maps for the General Manager to review and understand the history. Mr. Fink cited an example of the 1979 Sly Creek Project where we lost 2/3 of the water and it should be in a file somewhere. Mr. Fink hopes that at the February Board meeting where we discuss the Forbestowwn ditch and Railroad commission customers we can identify the original list of those eligible for irrigation water. Hopes the original RRC list is available at the Minasian Law Firm and we investigate it. Bill Hall introduced himself and wanted to remind the Board that the people in Bangor are very interested in some type of water system and especially fire suppression in the area. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT The General Manager communicated the following: CAISO (California Independent System Operator) Market Watch – SFWPA Hydro 2018 Review CAISO oversees the operation of California’s bulk electric power system, transmission lines, and electricity market generated and transmitted by the utilities. There are 210 scheduling coordinating entities for California’s energy market. There are 26,000 circuit miles of transmission lines and CAISO coordinates the competing and diverse energy resources into the grid where it is distributed to consumers. They also operate a wholesale power market designed to promote a broad range of resources at lower prices. Every five minutes, the ISO forecasts electrical demand and dispatches the lowest cost generator to meet demand while ensuring enough transmission capacity for delivery of power. 2019 Strategic Initiatives Grant analysis and submissions update status. NorthStar Engineering is engaged with funding pursuits towards several projects in need. A matrix of options and probability is being created and application submissions are in process for readiness to support the Foothill Community Line treated water implementation and Palermo migration from wells to piped treated water. Both areas fall into the safe drinking water and sustainable ground water categories.

the Butte County Fire Safe Council. Our landowner agreement has been submitted and we will follow closely for approval. The target areas eligible are Bangor and Hurelton Road Ingress/Egress. Agency Policy Changes Under the current policy, system capacity fees are to be increased annually by the same percentage as the annual cost-of-living adjustment granted to the Agency’s Water Treatment and Distribution Employees. Similar to fiscal year 2017 and 2018, I am proposing to freeze any increase to system capacity fees and consider a formal resolution to offer a monthly finance option over a 25-year period as an alternative to the full upfront fee. April Board Meeting One of the Board Directors has an attendance conflict with the April 23, 2019 regular meeting date and we are requesting a meeting move one week later to April 30, 2019. The Board had no issues with moving the date one week later. Proposed modifications to the current mission statement were discussed and the Board agreed to the changes and Director Hickman asked to include “for the benefit of the entire district” to the end of the first paragraph. Claim Submission – Vehicle Damage and Stolen Property A private citizen claim was submitted to the Agency on January 3rd, 2018 for reported vehicle damage and personal property stolen. The claim states that their vehicle was locked inside one of the agency control gates and they had to leave the vehicle overnight. Staff is evaluating the accuracy of the claim based on documents supplied, including a police report on specific location and will determine if Board action is required.

Mission Statement (Suggested Modifications) The mission of South Feather Water and Power Agency (SFWPA) is to deliver a dependable supply of safe, quality drinking water to its current and future customers, and a dependable supply of water for irrigation and agricultural users, in an economical, efficient and publicly responsible manner for the benefit of the entire district. Hydroelectric generation facilities shall be utilized to optimize predictive asset uptime and revenue from power generation, consistent with providing adequate and dependable water supplies to customers while maintaining the highest level of environmental stewardship. SFWPA is also committed to providing its employees a team orientated, safe work environment, encouraging growth and attainment of personal and professional goals.

ACWA/JPIA The Agency was recognized for achieving a loss ratio of <20% in Liability, Property and Workers Compensation Programs. The following two pages are the letter from ACWA/JPIA and Recognition Award. FINANCE DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Finance Manager communicated the following: South Feather Relicensing Consulting Services HDR has submitted invoices for relicensing consulting services in the amount of $2,812.93 for services rendered during the periods of September 30 through October 27, 2018 and October 28 through November 24, 2018. Including these payments, the total amount paid to HDR for relicensing services is $5,262,839. 2017 Winter Storm Payments A verbal, final settlement with ACWA/JPIA and the insurance adjusters for the reimbursement of costs related to the restoration of the Kelly Ridge Powerhouse has been reached. The settlement for repair costs and lost business income is $3,587,906. With deductions and advances already paid to the Agency, a final payment of $2,537,906 is expected to be received, $262,050 more than anticipated. As previously reported, a total of $1,967,840 has been received so far from FEMA, through the State of California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), for Agency expenses caused by the 2017 winter storms. The payments have been consistent with the formula for reimbursement of approved costs, 75% Federal monies, 18.75% State monies plus 10% of the State portion of the costs for administration. Approval has been received from FEMA/CalOES extending the authorized completion date for one of the Miners Ranch Canal projects to June 30, 2019. Discussions are continuing for additional funding, changes in the scope of work and time extensions for three other projects. Consumption Reports Water consumption reports for the past ten years, through December, 2018 are included this month for your review. January 1, 2019 COLA In compliance with the various Memoranda of Understanding with the Agency’s employees, a 3.25% cost of living pay adjustment was implemented effective January 1, 2019. Form 700 The California Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700, Statement of Economic Interests, will be distributed to Board members at today’s meeting. The due date for returning the completed forms to me is April 2, 2019. WATER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Water Division Manager communicated the following: Water Treatment Operations

The total MRTP treated water production for the month of December totaled 77 million gallons which is 105 percent of average for the month (table at right). The chart at the end of this report provides a historical perspective of cumulative water demand and production and shows the 2018 January through December (annual) demand of 1.84 billion gallons at 105% percent of recent average.

All bacteriological testing met requirements for the Miners Ranch & Bangor Water distribution and treatment plants. With flow production slowing down, treatment staff is getting a good start on maintenance items on all of the MRTP new equipment and processes.

Camp Fire Water Division has continued to support PID with distribution and treatment staff throught the period. Although there appears a reduction in the urgent need for Agency support, PID is continuing significant efforts to resolve water quality and distribution recovery. PID distribution foreman has developed a flushing plan that is anticipated to require significant personnel assistance with a need estimated for as much as 25 personnel for a couple weeks. An estimated 16 CalWater staff from as far away as Bakersfield is anticipated to participate and we have offered 7 distribution and treatment personnel. Federal Shutdown Immediate impact of the federal shutdown prevented the US Geological Survey from meeting with Eddie Paul (Hydrographer) to evaluate hydrographic records for approval. Our $27,000 contract with USGS requires the evaluation and approval based on FERC obligations. I am sure rescheduled efforts will follow. Irrigation System Operations Distribution crews are utilizing this off-season time for maintenance projects including rebuilding measurement and control structures and ditch cleaning. The irrigation distribution system is diligently being monitored during the periods of heavy precipitation and runoff.

Forbestown Ditch Accounting PG&E agreements require the annual accounting of Forbestown ditch water use. SFWPA and NYWD have allocations for water demand from SF14 based on those agreements. If water demand exceeds the allocation amount then a tiered block monitary value is placed on the actual use difference. The NYWD 2018 water use of the Forbestown ditch allocation is 2,779 af of the allocated 3,700 af and results as no cost to NYWD. The SFWPA 2018 water use of the Forbestown ditch allocation is 2,518 af of the allocated 3,720 af and results as a JFOF payment of $90,785 to the General Fund. The value of an acre foot demand for SFWPA on the Forbestown ditch results in an expense of $99/acre foot. Irrigation ditchtenders understand this value and are responsible for the efficient use of this resource. Water Management Planning Historically water management planning of the South Fork Project has been completed with significant direction of PG&E. Current hydrologic conditions and operational limitations (storage, precipitation, Irrigation and domestic demands, snow surveys, minimum flows, reservoir requirements, river conditions, potential water transfers) and future climate scenarios are analyzed by PG&E and the results are provided in the form of an operational water management plan. This effort and tool provided by PG&E will likely not be available to the Agency in the near future based on power contract negotiations. Management is initiating discussion on potential options for backfilling this need. Domestic Distribution 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. Emergency repairs Serra Monte Drive, 6-inch aged AC pipe break Tuesday 1/15/19

Personnel Updates

• No new update. DIRECTORS’ REPORTS Director Wulbern communicated that the Palermo Community Counsel is interested in helping with getting water out to Palermo. They will assist with any “footwork”, surveys or support to help with this initiative. Director Hickman communicated that the Board and staff are working well and appreciates all the work we are doing. Director Hickman also thanked those in attendance for their public participation and their voices are heard. A visit to Sonoma county in the fire area was enlightening to Director Hickman as to the low quantity of housing being built in contrast to the large number of parcels for sale. He was not expecting to

see this and then learning the high cost to rebuild was out of control. The cost per square foot has risen sharply and wonders how this will affect our area in terms of rebuilding. It was discouraging to see so many parcels for sale. Director Moreland communicated that the bid for Paradise cleanup is due today. Director Moreland shared that the lack of recreation around Oroville is due to a fifty-year old unfinished plan so people would rather travel to Shasta Lake. That area has RV parks, nice restaurants and hotels. Lake Almanor is also similar and is free to launch your boat. Nothing around Lake Oroville is modern and people are afraid of getting flooded out. Director Moreland stated the diversion dam infrastructure is in place and it should be used. INFORMATIONAL ITEM The General Manager led a discussion on water rates from 2011- current and compared it to the U.S. inflation rate during the same time-period. A review on water volume and revenue by year from 2010 – 2018 was shared and dialog around how the cost of water impact’s consumption. In addition, the September 28, 2011 “Notice of Change in Rates” letter was presented and discussed in some detail about future sustainability of the energy subsidized rate structure.
