on a new retail electric rate initiative. The Board issued several criteria for
the new rate concept, which set up the framework for the rate to be studied.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-size: 15px; text-indent: -0.25in; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">The drastic bill impacts illustrate the conclusions reached by TVA when they
considered this new rate architecture. The proposal, while certainly simple,
fails on other rate goals. This rate is not cost-based, and it is discriminatory.
Further, the rate passes along no variable pricing signals.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="font-size: 15px; text-indent: -0.25in; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">One of the largest problems with the proposal is that widely different classes of
customers are thrown into one super-tariff, which really upsets the stability
of the tariff, and brings about drastic positive and negative bill impacts. My
team is working hard to produce graphics that help explain this problem. We
look forward to sharing this information at the meeting, and getting your
orders on how to proceed.</span><b><u><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><u><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: white;">Programming </span></span></u></b><b><u><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: white;">Committee Recommendations</span></span></u></b></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -0.25in; white-space: pre-wrap;"></p><div style="text-indent: 0px;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: white; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Every </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: white; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">three years we have to renegotiate Retransmission Consent Agreements with the</span></div><span style="color: white;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">broadcasters in Bowling Green.

still closed. While we are anxious to reopen the lobby, Barren County’s
infection rates are now far higher than they were when we closed the lobby.
That means it would still be risky to invite the public into the lobby. We are
still in contact with GWC, FRECC, and SCRTC regarding their lobby opening
decisions, but we have the smallest team, and thus the most vulnerable to a
spread of the virus within our ranks. Right now, we are planning to continue
our present safety policies indefinitely.

over $1 million in CARES Act funding from the Federal Government. We have asked
City of Glasgow to pass a resolution which would authorize our customers, who
are in arrears on their accounts with us, to apply for a portion of that
funding to help them get back to even. We trust that the City will comply with
this request, but as of this writing, we still have gotten no response to our
formal letter of request. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">EPB Fraud

does apply to them. So, the only remaining step is for the Board to adopt the
policy, which will make it also applicable to the Board.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Engagement

Since that order has now been rescinded, the Superintendent will present a recommendation for returning to semi-normal collections policy. An outline of the recommended steps to return to some level of normalcy relative to collections, and, at the same time, help EPB customers who have fallen into arrears on their accounts, recover in an orderly fashion, is attached to this narrative. At the meeting we will discuss and seek Board approval for the plan before any customer notifications begin.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">Ø We closed the EPB lobby to the public on Wednesday, March 18, and it is still closed. While we are anxious to reopen the lobby, our area infection rates are still peaking. That means it would still be risky to invite the public into the lobby. We are still in contact with GWC, FRECC, and SCRTC regarding their lobby opening decisions, but we have the smallest team, and thus the most vulnerable to a spread of the virus within our ranks. Right now, we are planning to continue our present safety policies indefinitely.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">Ø As reported at the last meeting, City of Glasgow was lucky to receive over $1 million in CARES Act funding from the Federal Government. We have asked City of Glasgow to pass a resolution which would authorize our customers, who are in arrears on their accounts with us, to apply for a portion of that funding to help them get back to even. We trust that the City will comply with this request, but as of this writing, we have gotten zero response to our formal letter of request.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;"><span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Retail Rates Review</span></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">Ø We made a commitment to an Advisory Committee, and to the City of Glasgow, to conduct annual analysis of our retail electric rates. This is a sound business practice that should be followed, regardless of our commitments, and that preliminary review took place in the August meeting, with discussion continuing in the September meeting.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">Ø Instead of pursuing our historic course of refining, updating, and progressing the retail rate architecture which presently works so well for EPB and the overwhelming majority of EPB customers, a rate architecture was proposed by the Board. The Board’s proposed architecture includes a return to historic volumetric rates, a system which is not recommended by EPB management.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">Ø The Board proposal was submitted to TVA for their comments, and those comments have been provided to the Board.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">Ø At the meeting we will consider TVA’s response, and any direction the Board can give us on next steps. The pursuit of the Board-derived architecture will include a lot of work that will consume a lot of time.

discontinued pending Board direction, and TVA/PSC directions on same. We have
also temporarily waived the fee for call-in credit card payments. The matter
became much more complicated a couple of months ago when Governor Beshear
issued an order, which forbids utilities (and mentions municipal utilities,
like ours, specifically) from resuming normal non-payment disconnects until
after he lifts his Emergency Declaration for the state. Obviously, for a
non-profit like EPB, the additional losses will have to be borne by all
customers. This matter also has federal sovereignty implications since the
Governor is usurping TVA’s regulatory role. This matter is very complicated. I
will show you some results of this order and it is becoming quite clear that we
have several customers who are amassing a debt that they will have a lot of
trouble repaying.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

This is a sizable decrease in the FCA. COVID influenced July sales, combined with plenty of rain, resulted in far less fuel being used to produce power, and far less power being purchased from neighbors. In fact, TVA’s July fuel costs were the lowest since 2010. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> On September 1, the energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this decrease passed on by TVA.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Covid-19 and Glasgow EPB</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> Service disconnections for non-payment have been discontinued pending Board direction, and TVA/PSC directions on same. We have also temporarily waived the fee for call-in credit card payments. The matter became much more complicated a couple of months ago when Governor Beshear issued an order, which forbids utilities (and mentions municipal utilities, like ours, specifically) from resuming normal non-payment disconnects until after he lifts his Emergency Declaration for the state. Obviously, for a non-profit like EPB, the additional losses will have to be borne by all customers. This matter also has federal sovereignty implications since the Governor is usurping TVA’s regulatory role. This matter is very complicated. I will show you some results of this order and it is becoming quite clear that we have several customers who are amassing a debt that they will have a lot of trouble repaying.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> We closed the EPB lobby to the public on Wednesday, March 18, and it is still closed. At the same time, we announced the cessation of services to broadband wiring inside customer premises. Since the number of Barren County COVID-19 cases is growing sharply, we do not see an end to these changes. We have been in contact with GWC, FRECC, and SCRTC regarding their lobby opening decisions. Right now, pending Board approval, we are planning to continue our present safety policies indefinitely. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> While TVA is giving us considerable latitude on how long this disconnect forbearance should last, they are determined for us to ultimately collect on all balances owed. Further, as mentioned above, they are carefully considering how long to cooperate with the Governor’s directive before they take action to re-establish themselves as the sole LPC regulator. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> “Social distancing” steps have already been taken by the EPB team along with additional cleaning of the EPB office. Personal protective equipment has been provided to EPB team members who interact directly with the public. The team has returned to normal shifts.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> We look forward to reversing all these steps and moving back toward our normal operations when officials advise us of the safety of that action. </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">When to End Non-Payment Disconnection Forbearance</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> Since the last meeting, we’ve gotten some important experience with the financial impact of our temporary forbearance on non-payment disconnects of electric power and broadband services. At this meeting we will show you some new metrics on how forbearance is building a lot of likely future bad debt.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> At a recent meeting, we talked about beginning to do disconnects on non-essential services at the homes of customers who have accumulated sizable unpaid balances over the last four months. At this meeting, I will be asking you to consider that recommendation again.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> At the meeting I will give you a lot of information about what has happened over the last five months. We will discuss actual performance versus the projections we made in previous meetings. We will also furnish you with external data on unemployment and the benefits coming to our customers who are impacted by this pandemic. Though you have seen these projections before, we will update them with new data and new projections, based on the recent order from the Governor. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> In order to provide better projections, the Superintendent will present projections based on assumptions as to when the Board might choose to end forbearance on non-payment disconnects, and when that forbearance termination might be allowed by the State. These assumptions are necessary, in order to provide realistic projections, but the decision on ending forbearance will continue to be totally up to the Board.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Appointment of Counsel to Represent EPB in Litigation</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> Though this is a difficult and uncomfortable subject, I am placing this on the agenda in order to remind the Board that Judge Alexander has allowed Cole and Moore to withdraw its representation of EPB, but he also granted EPB 60 days to engage new counsel. A copy of the order is attached to this package. You will note that it is simple, and it does not direct EPB to engage new counsel. The order gives the Board 60 days to engage counsel, assuming they feel it proper for EPB to have independent counsel in the action filed against the Board by D.T. Froedge. </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Court Ordered Mediation</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> In another ruling by Judge Alexander, EPB is ordered to enter mediation in an attempt to settle the litigation already filed, and, hopefully, head off additional litigation relative to the matters well known to the Board, as well as most EPB customers. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> This item will be best discussed with counsel, but I am recommending that it be on the agenda for discussion until the Board has satisfied the order of Judge Alexander.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> It is my understanding that the attorneys involved in this matter have already been discussing who they might all agree on to manage the mediation, further, possible dates have also been discussed. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> Though the order places a stay on further Special Meetings, there is an exception that allows Special Meetings to be called in furtherance of the Mediation ordered.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> Hopefully, Ron Hampton has been included in these discussions and he might be able to fill the Board in on the details.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Preliminary Retail Rates Review</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> We made a commitment to an Advisory Committee, and to the City of Glasgow, to conduct annual analysis of our retail electric rates. This is a sound business practice that should be followed, regardless of our commitments, and that review will begin to be shared with you at the August meeting.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> We will likely start off with a brief review of the presentation on the history of the EPB rate evolution, which ought to get everyone on the same page as to where we have been and where previous boards have set our course to follow.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> Melanie Reed will be there to furnish preliminary results of her analysis of the performance of our residential retail rates, since those are usually the most controversial, and your direction on those will give us an idea how you want to handle all of the tariffs.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> It will be the Board’s decision on how we should proceed during September, and maybe October, as we move toward any adjustments necessary to stay the course.</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Reports</div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> July Metrics and Financial Review</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> September FCA</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> CPD Charge Reserve Fund Status</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">- kW demand markup was implemented two years ago, to cover TVA wholesale cost for missed peak predictions</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">- Updated calculations will be presented at the meeting.

Ø The August 2020 TVA FCA will decrease slightly, to 1.414 cents per kWh. This is a small decrease in the FCA. COVID influenced June sales, combined with mild weather, resulted in far less fuel being used to produce power, and far less power being purchased from neighbors. In fact, TVA’s June fuel costs were near the lowest on record for a June. Abundant hydroelectric generation also impacted the fuel cost positively.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø On August 1, the energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this small decrease passed on by TVA.</div>

<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Covid-19 and Glasgow EPB</span></div>

Ø Service disconnections for non-payment have been discontinued pending Board direction, and TVA/PSC directions on same. We have also temporarily waived the fee for call-in credit card payments. The matter became much more complicated a couple of months ago when Governor Beshear issued an order, which forbids utilities (and mentions municipal utilities, like ours, specifically) from resuming normal non-payment disconnects until after he lifts his Emergency Declaration for the state. Obviously, for a non-profit like EPB, the additional losses will have to be borne by all customers. This matter also has federal sovereignty implications since the Governor is usurping TVA’s regulatory role. This matter is very complicated. I will show you some results of this order and it is becoming quite clear, that we have several customers who are amassing a debt that they will have a lot of trouble repaying.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We closed the EPB lobby to the public on Wednesday, March 18, and it is still closed. At the same time, we announced the cessation of services to broadband wiring inside customer premises. Since the number of Barren County COVID-19 cases is growing sharply, we do not see an end to these changes. We have been in contact with GWC, FRECC, and SCRTC regarding their lobby opening decisions. Right now, pending Board approval, we are planning to continue our present safety policies indefinitely.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø While TVA is giving us considerable latitude on how long this disconnect forbearance should last, they are determined for us to ultimately collect on all balances owed. Further, as mentioned above, they are carefully considering how long to cooperate with the Governor’s directive before they take action to re-establish themselves as the sole LPC regulator.</div>

Ø “Social distancing” steps have already been taken by the EPB team along with additional cleaning of the EPB office. Personal protective equipment has been provided to EPB team members who interact directly with the public. The team has returned to normal shifts.</div>

Ø We look forward to reversing all these steps and moving back toward our normal operations when officials advise us of the safety of that action.</div>

<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">When to End Non-Payment Disconnection Forbearance</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Since the last meeting, we’ve gotten some important experience with the financial impact of our temporary forbearance on non-payment disconnects of electric power and broadband services. At this meeting we will show you some new metrics on how forbearance is building a lot of likely future bad debt.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the Special meeting we talked about beginning to do disconnects on non-essential services at the homes of customers who have accumulated sizable unpaid balances over the last four months. At this meeting, I will be asking you to consider that recommendation again.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting I will give you a lot of information about what has happened over the last four months. We will discuss actual performance versus the projections we made in previous meetings. We will also furnish you with external data on unemployment and the benefits coming to our customers who are impacted by this pandemic. Though you have seen these projections before, we will update them with new data and new projections, based on the recent order from the Governor.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø In order to provide better projections, the Superintendent will present projections based on assumptions as to when the Board might choose to end forbearance on non-payment disconnects, and when that forbearance termination might be allowed by the State. These assumptions are necessary, in order to provide realistic projections, but the decision on ending forbearance will continue to be totally up to the Board.</div>

Ø Though this is a difficult and uncomfortable subject, I am creating this marker on the Agenda so that we can discuss, and possibly act on, any rulings and/or orders that the court might issue during a hearing scheduled for July 24.</div>

I put the matter of deciding whether to go back to a more normal meeting format on the agenda. Since the City Council has gone back to a face-to-face format with the distancing and mask requirements, I thought you might want to consider doing the same.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

I am calling a Special Meeting in order to deal with end of
fiscal year issues that could not be dealt with at the May or June regular
meetings, due to the lack of a quorum. The additional information relative to
these items has already been sent to you, and said information is still
available on the secure board server. It is my understanding that at least
three board members will join in to accomplish this agenda on Tuesday. This
meeting will be conducted via Zoom and it will appear on EPB Cable 6 and the
EPB YouTube Channel, so that the public can see the meeting. Josh Francis will
send sign in information, so that members can be prepared to participate.<o:p></o:p></div>

The June meeting is quite full of items. Since the June meeting is the last one of our fiscal year, there are items that must always be dealt with. Further, since we didn’t have an official meeting in May, due to the lack of a quorum, we have hold-over items from that meeting as well.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Of course, we all know that the present legal status of the Board and its officers presents another abnormal situation for the meeting. I urge you to attend anyway, such that we can set those issues aside and deal with the matters we must.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">July 1 FCA</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The July 2020 TVA FCA will increase very slightly, to 1.497 cents per kWh. This is a very small increase in the FCA. COVID influenced May sales, combined with mild weather, resulted in far less fuel being used to produce power. In fact, TVA’s May’s fuel costs were near the lowest on record, since the creation of the FCA. Abundant hydroelectric generation also impacted the fuel cost positively.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø On July 1, the energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this small increase passed on by TVA.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Covid-19 and Glasgow EPB</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Service disconnections for non-payment have been discontinued pending Board direction, and TVA/PSC directions on same. We have also temporarily waived the fee for call-in credit card payments. The matter became more complicated last month when Governor Beshear issued a new order, which forbids utilities (and mentions municipal utilities, like ours, specifically) from resuming normal non-payment disconnects until after he lifts his Emergency Declaration for the state. Obviously, for a non-profit like EPB, the additional losses will have to be borne by all customers. This matter also has federal sovereignty implications, since the Governor is usurping TVA’s regulatory role. This matter is very complicated.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We closed the EPB lobby to the public on Wednesday, March 18. At the same time, we announced the cessation of services to broadband wiring inside customer premises. As the Governor is slowly allowing certain activities to return to normal, we are studying how we can begin to relax our policy of not entering customer homes, with proper PPE and procedures. This is a tough call, as so many of our customers are now huddled into their homes, and totally dependent on the broadband services we provide. We have been in contact with GWC, FRECC, and SCRTC regarding their lobby opening decisions. Right now, pending Board approval, we are looking at reopening on July 6, with new plexiglass barriers in the lobby and signage to urge minimal attendance in the lobby.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø While TVA is giving us considerable latitude on how long this disconnect forbearance should last, they are determined for us to ultimately collect on all balances owed. Further, as mentioned above, they are carefully considering how long to cooperate with the Governor’s directive, before they take action to re-establish themselves as the sole LPC regulator.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø “Social distancing” steps have already been taken by the EPB team along with additional cleaning of the EPB office. Personal protective equipment has been provided to EPB team members who interact directly with the public. The team has returned to normal shifts.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We look forward to reversing all these steps and moving back toward our normal operations when officials advise us of the safety of that action.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">When to End Non-Payment Disconnection Forbearance</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Since the last meeting we’ve gotten some important experience with the financial impact of our temporary forbearance on non-payment disconnects of electric power and broadband services.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting I will give you a lot of information about what has happened over the last three months. We will discuss actual performance versus the projections we made in previous meetings. We will also furnish you with external data on unemployment and the benefits coming to our customers who are impacted by this pandemic. Though you have seen these projections before, we will update them with new data and new projections, based on the recent order from the Governor.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø In order to provide better projections, the Superintendent will present projections based on assumptions as to when the Board might choose to end forbearance on non-payment disconnects, and when that forbearance termination might be allowed by the State. These assumptions are necessary, in order to provide realistic projections, but the decision on ending forbearance will continue to be totally up to the Board.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">2020 and 2021 Budgets</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Kentucky law requires that non-profits and municipal corporations, like Glasgow EPB, end each fiscal year with a balanced budget, and begin each fiscal year with a board-approved budget for the year.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The Board will need to consider the staff recommendation to alter the FY 2020 budget to reflect actual revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year about to end.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The Board will also need to consider and adopt a new budget for FY 2021. Since it is impossible to accurately predict revenue from the sale of electric power, these budgets are passed to meet the letter of the law, while knowing full well that they will need to be adjusted before the end of the fiscal year.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Solar Pilot Project</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This item is a repeat from the March and April meetings, in which the proposal was not adopted, but I was asked to bring it back again this month.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The new Long-Term Partnership Agreement with TVA includes a provision that would allow us to provide up to 5% of our own electric power.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This provision is exciting, but it is also something we have no experience at doing. In order to gain some experience, we are studying a possible pilot project, one that is manageable from an expense perspective, but robust enough for us to gain experience before moving forward.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We have much to learn about installing and operating a solar array. We also have a lot of software issues to solve relative to metering, billing, and providing information to customers via our portal and the new application we are developing. For all of these reasons, a small pilot project might make a lot of sense.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting I will bring you up to speed on what we have already learned, and just what sort of pilot project we are contemplating. We look forward to discussing this with you so that we will know your feelings on pursuing this pilot.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Bad Debt and Write-off Consideration</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Many years ago, Glasgow EPB adopted the policy of officially considering account balances which have not been paid, for official write-off on a bi-annual schedule. This is normally done in June and December.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Though the board has adopted a matrix of procedures, deposit policies, and technology to mitigate bad debt, the battle is not won. Though this particular round of write-offs is from before the pandemic, you should be prepared for a large impact from disconnect forbearance this year. Even in normal times, we still struggle to keep the monthly cost caused by those who take our services, yet do not pay for them, below $10,000. This month’s list of half a year’s worth of those bad debts will echo that monthly goal.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Bad debt is a significant part of our fixed costs, which our new rates attempt to recover through the customer charge. Since keeping the customer charge low is a constant goal of the EPB team, keeping bad debt low is directly related.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We are certain that no EPB customer who pays their account fully, and on time each month, wants to be burdened with also paying a portion of the costs associated with these customers who do not pay, but each month a portion of their customer charge is earmarked for that purpose. That is a shame, but as a non-profit municipal corporation, Glasgow EPB has no other way to cover the cost of bad debt.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The whole list of the proposed write-offs is included in your package. It is notable that the big contributors to this period’s bad debt came from surprise bankruptcies, for which we held insufficient deposits. We will go over details at the meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

- Updated calculations will be presented at the meeting. We are beginning a new year of this reporting, and so far, the fund is in acceptable shape due to overall accuracy of peak predictions.</div>

Ø <span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">KLC Insurance Package Renewal</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
- Our insurance package from KLC renews on July 1. The renewal proposal included some hefty cost increases, mainly for Workers Comp, due to a couple of possibly expensive outstanding claims. Luckily, they also include some significant reductions in the cost of property and casualty coverage, so overall, the increase is not huge. I will have more information on this at the meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø <span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Programming Committee Recommendations Ratifications</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
- The Programming Committee operated via email polling on a few matters, instead of bringing them together for a real meeting, but this month we got them together via Zoom to ratify their actions taken via email.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
- The following networks: AXS, Turner Networks (several of these), and Stingray (the digital music product) had contracts which expired recently. The committee evaluated the products and the renewal offers (which will be explained in detail at the meeting) and recommended that the Board accept the renewal offers for all of these services. I am recommending that you ratify their decision.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
- There was also the matter of our annual cable products rate adjustment. This has historically been an annual adjustment, effective July 1, which is essential to offset the annual increases in the cost of programming, passed along to us by the satellite services AND the local broadcast stations in Bowling Green. The Programming Committee recommended, and the staff concurs, that this rate adjustment can be delayed due to excellent product sales during the pandemic.</div>

Ø <span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Open Meetings Complaints</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
- After the alleged “Special Called Meeting” occurred on May 5, two Open Meetings Law Complaints were lodged against EPB. One was submitted by Joseph Trigg and the other came from Brennan Crain, with WCLU Radio. Copies of both complaints were included with last month’s narrative. These complaints require the Board Chairman to respond within three days. The responses were also attached. You should note the relief sought by both complaints, and that Chairman Taylor has agreed to that relief. For the most part, the complaints are both formed as violations of SB 150.</div>

We have also temporarily waived the fee for call-in credit card payments. When the Board considers these matters, you will be asked to give us directions on how long this temporary policy should last. The matter became more complicated last week when Governor Beshear issued a new order, which forbids utilities (and mentions municipal utilities, like ours, specifically) from resuming normal non-payment disconnects until after he lifts his Emergency Declaration for the state. Obviously, for a non-profit like EPB, the additional losses will have to be borne by all customers. This matter also has federal sovereignty implications, since the Governor is usurping TVA’s regulatory role. This matter is very complicated.</span></div>

<span data-offset-key="b1oft-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">- After the alleged “Special Called Meeting” occurred on May 5, two Open Meetings Law Complaints were lodged against EPB. One was submitted by Joseph Trigg and the other came from Brennan Crain, with WCLU Radio. Copies of both complaints are included with this narrative. These complaints require the Board Chairman to respond within three days. The responses are also attached. You must note the relief sought by both complaints, and that Chairman Taylor has agreed to that relief. For the most part, the complaints are both formed as violations of SB 150. At the meeting, you may want Ronnie Hampton to review SB 150, and the restrictions it places on board meetings, and board agendas, during the present Emergency Declaration.</span></div>

Ø The May 2020 TVA FCA will decrease to 1.415 cents per kWh. This is another small reduction in the FCA. Mild March weather, combined with the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, resulted in 8% less power being sold, compared to projections, which lowered TVA’s cost of fuel – mainly coal. Abundant hydroelectric generation also impacted the fuel cost positively.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø On May 1, the energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this decrease passed on by TVA.</div>

Ø Service disconnections for non-payment have been discontinued pending Board direction on same. We have also temporarily waived the fee for call-in credit card payments. When the Board considers these matters, you will be asked to give us directions on how long this temporary policy should last. Obviously, for a non-profit like EPB, the additional losses will have to be borne by all customers.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We closed the EPB lobby to the public on Wednesday, March 18. At the same time, we announced the cessation of services to broadband wiring inside customer premises. This is a tough call, as so many of our customers are now huddled into their homes, and totally dependent on the broadband services we provide. As a result, our telephone call traffic for cable and internet support, has doubled to over 40 per day, seven days a week.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø While TVA is giving us considerable latitude on how long this disconnect forbearance should last, they are determined for us to ultimately collect on all balances owed.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø “Social distancing” steps have already been taken by the EPB team along with additional cleaning of the EPB office. Personal protective equipment has been provided to EPB team members who interact directly with the public. The team is working shifts, and some are working at home, such that contact with each other is also limited.</div>

Ø TVA has been working hard to help the LPCs mitigate the damage caused to our communities and our customers. Their latest announcement is that they are creating a $2M fund to match on a 1:1 basis, contributions by LPCs to local non-profits who are providing help to LPC customers struggling to cope in this pandemic.</div>

Ø Although EPB has already committed $54,000 per year to Community Relief, participation in the Community Care Fund will not be limited to increasing the contribution to Community Relief. Other non-profits could qualify, and we will review what we know about the other non-profits operating in Glasgow.</div>

Ø In order for us to capture the full $10,000 allocated to Glasgow, the Board will have to commit the matching $10,000, and choose which agency should receive it.</div>

<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">When to End Non-Payment Disconnects Forbearance</span></div>

Ø Since the last meeting we’ve gotten some important experience with the financial impact of our temporary forbearance on non-payment disconnects of electric power and broadband services.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting I will give you a lot of information about what has happened over the last month. We will discuss actual performance versus the projections we made last month. We will also furnish you with external data on unemployment and the benefits coming to our customers who are impacted by this pandemic.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø In order to provide better projections, the Superintendent will present projections based on assumptions as to when the Board might choose to end forbearance on non-payment disconnects, and what terms EPB should allow for giving customers time to bring their account balance back to normal. These assumptions are necessary in order to provide realistic projections, but the decision on ending forbearance is totally up to the Board.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø After all of this information is provided, I will ask the Board to give the staff more information on when forbearance should end, or, alternatively, develop other criteria for the EPB to use relative to this matter.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Possible Solar Pilot Project</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This item is a repeat from the last meeting, in which the proposal was not adopted, but I was asked to bring it back again this month.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The new Long-Term Partnership Agreement with TVA includes a provision that would allow us to provide up to 5% of our own electric power.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This provision is exciting, but it is also something we have no experience at doing. In order to gain some experience, we are studying a possible pilot project, one that is manageable from an expense perspective, but robust enough for us to gain experience before moving forward.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We have much to learn about installing and operating a solar array. We also have a lot of software issues to solve relative to metering, billing, and providing information to customers via our portal and the new application we are developing. For all of these reasons, a small pilot project might make a lot of sense.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting I will bring you up to speed on what we have already learned, and just what sort of pilot project we are contemplating. We look forward to discussing this with you so that we will know your feelings on pursuing this pilot.</div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">This month we will need to meet while observing the CDC recommended social separation. To do business, we need three board members. So, if only three come, and if we limit other attendees to me and Cody and Jonathan (operating the cameras), along with Amy to help with the minutes, we should be able to do business and keep separated. Our meetings are already televised on EPB Cable6, and on Facebook (on the Glasgow EPB page at </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/glasgowepb/" style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.facebook.com/glasgowepb/</a>)<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">and YouTube (</span><a data-lynx-mode="asynclazy" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fchannel%2FUCyGfIohxwECtiY9M28IX6EQ%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2n9JBLOJ9W8hJ_8TmP0M5KK7FJb0ktVXUWRI15s9UsBrLZbH1fqbmy2_4&h=AT173gADUWj0SWl_Ndb5T9ek-zIZyzrDeHS0zHtdtiWBmJABBZ358iyNtV8f_ATNzSGwMwJ3e22-7yJcMy3xVObZ5SCeGW3m1EDRsaVmlQ5Cg3EeaR0QtEwQFdAn9OrRlBM" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyGfIohxwECtiY9M28IX6EQ?fbclid=IwAR2n9JBLOJ9W8hJ_8TmP0M5KK7FJb0ktVXUWRI15s9UsBrLZbH1fqbmy2_4" rel="noopener nofollow" style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyGfIohxwECtiY9M28IX6EQ</a>)<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">, and this meets the newest requirements for open meetings during the Covid-19 State Emergency. We should also be able to come up with a way to connect the other two board members by telephone so that they can participate in discussion.</span></div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">While there are may be elements of this proposed meeting format that do not meet the letter of the law, I don’t think anyone can suggest that we are not trying to honor the spirit of the laws, in a bizarre situation. </span></div>

<span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Thank you for working with us to minimize our contact with each other, while conducting the critical EPB business. We will offer you an even better solution in April, one that is fully compliant with the latest State guidelines.</span></div>

Ø The April 2020 TVA FCA is projected to decrease to 1.430 cents per kWh. This is another small reduction in the FCA. Mild February weather resulted in less power being generated, which lowered TVA’s cost of fuel – mainly coal. Abundant hydroelectric generation also impacted the fuel cost positively.</div>

Ø On April 1, the energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this decrease passed on by TVA.</div>

<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Covid-19 and Glasgow EPB</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Service disconnections for non-payment have been discontinued pending Board direction on same. We have also temporarily waived the fee for call-in credit card payments. When the Board considers these matters, you will be asked to give us directions on how long this temporary policy should last. Obviously, for a non-profit like EPB, the additional losses will have to be borne by all customers.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We closed the EPB lobby to the public on Wednesday, March 18. At the same time, we announced the cessation of services to broadband wiring inside customer premises. This is a tough call, as so many of our customers are now huddled into their homes, and totally dependent on the broadband services we provide. At the meeting I will expand on how we are approaching this matter. While I wanted to hold off on these steps until the Board meets, the situation was just too fluid for the team to wait that long.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø I am also enclosing an email from TVA, on the subject of waiving service disconnection for non-payment. As you can see, they are giving us precious little leeway on this.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø “Social distancing” steps have already been taken by the EPB team along with additional cleaning of the EPB office. Personal protective equipment has been provided to EPB team members who interact directly with the public.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Additional contingency plans are being developed, just awaiting the perceived need to implement them. These include altering work schedules, working from home, and keeping each essential team member and their backup person completely separated.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We look forward to hearing the Board’s perspective on these steps.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

Ø As I predicted, getting some people removed from check-signing authorization and replacing them with new people, is much harder than it should be.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Already, one local bank has asked for a specific resolution (a copy of which is included in the Board package) to be passed by the Board before they honor our desired signatory changes.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting I will ask you to approve the resolution. I will also update you on the progress at other local banks.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Possible Solar Pilot Project</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The new Long-Term Partnership Agreement with TVA includes a provision that would allow us to provide up to 5% of our own electric power.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This provision is exciting, but it is also something we have no experience at doing. In order to gain some experience, we are studying a possible pilot project, one that is manageable from an expense perspective, but robust enough for us to gain experience before moving forward.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We have much to learn about installing and operating a solar array. We also have a lot of software issues to solve relative to metering, billing, and providing information to customers via our portal and the new application we are developing. For all of these reasons, a small pilot project might make a lot of sense.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting I will bring you up to speed on what we have already learned, and just what sort of pilot project we are contemplating. We look forward to discussing this with you so that we will know your feelings on pursuing this pilot.</div>

- As the Board instructed, we have already delivered our first three monthly payments of $4500 to the agency. This decision is going to turn out to be very timely, in light of the crisis many of our customers find themselves in.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

- The Superintendent will review potential impact of the LSC announcement on EPB finances, and how EPB non-volumetric rates have limited EPB exposure.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

responsibilities of the Board is to deliberate on what the General Schedule of
Rules and Regulations should contain. These are the rules that inform our
customers how we do business, and they form the instructions for the EPB team
to operate under. While these rules must also be approved by TVA, it is good to
review them often, just to make sure that changing conditions match up with our
published Rules and Regulations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

conduct such a review and I will recommend a few changes. A marked-up set of
those recommended changes is included with this package.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l3 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in 6.0in; text-indent: -.25in;">

these recommendations. Some of the proposed changes are intended to underscore
things we already do, but which are not clear enough in the document. For
example, we often hear that EPB should separate electric and cable billing by
sending out separate bills. While we do not spend the extra money for a second
bill, we do clearly delineate electric bill payment from other broadband
services, and we never terminate electric service when the electric portion of
the bill is paid. This accomplishes the same thing, without the redundant
billing. That is one of the clarifications we are recommending.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

fairly often, is that EPB should allow customers to pick their own due date. We
have been doing that for over a decade, but even though we explain that often
in our lobby, it is not sufficiently addressed in the present iteration of the
Rules and Regulations, so we want to correct that. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

other changes, especially relative to the i-Pay product. A few years of

Ø The February 2020 TVA FCA is projected to decrease to 1.637 cents per kWh. This is the lowest FCA for a February in seven years, due to lower purchased power and natural gas costs, and abundant hydroelectric generation.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

Ø This item is tentative, as it might resolve itself before the meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Scott Bachert, with the firm Kerrick Bachert, PSC, represents us in this matter, and will be in attendance, if necessary, at the meeting to brief the Board.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We are pursuing about $40K in unpaid account balances pre-petition, and Scott will discuss ways to improve our pursuit of payment.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We are also suffering from unpaid accounts in the post-petition environment this year. Our normal option would be to terminate service, which would eventually end phone service in Glasgow. Scott will also give us his advice on that matter.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">EPB Options for Dispersing the 3.1% Wholesale Credit from TVA</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø With the execution of the TVA Long Term Partnership Agreement in November, EPB is receiving a 3.1% wholesale bill credit from TVA each month (amounting, on average, to something over $40,000 per month with present rates).</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The Board asked Superintendent to ascertain the acceptable “De Minimis” amount that TVA would allow EPB to give to Community Relief, in furtherance of their mission to help low-income households weather economic emergencies. That amount has been stipulated by TVA at $56K per year (as shown in attached email).</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Due diligence has also been performed relative to Community Relief, and some of the information about them is also included in the Board meeting package.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We’ll also need to discuss the possible impact of the LSC closing on EPB net income. Some of the credit might need to be used to cover that loss.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

Ø Repetitive Open Records Requests filed by a local newspaper have resulted in a review of EPB policies relating to open records.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Some weaknesses have been detected and advice of counsel has resulted in a recommendation that Board policy should be established to clarify EPB’s policy and to make sure EPB is compliant with all Kentucky statutes and rules attendant thereto.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Recommended changes will be proposed at the meeting that will bring EPB into full “letter of the law” compliance, while making it clear that all Open Records Request responses will come from the official custodian of records for EPB, and no one else.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

Ø An agreement was reached between the Cable Cooperative and Fox for continued carriage of Fox News and a few other channels. The Programming Committee recommends that the Board accept the terms and continue carriage of this programming.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting we will report on the rate impact that this new agreement will have (it is actually quite small), and we will give you some information about the other contracts which must be renegotiated during 2020.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø You will also be reminded that the terms of Petie McLean and Jodi Crane will expire this month. You will need to choose new members of the committee, or, in the alternative, appoint them to new terms.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

Ø The most recent audit report included a new recommendation to remove Melanie Reed from the list of those approved to sign EPB checks for payment, as an enhancement to internal control. To accomplish this, and to prepare for likely upcoming retirements, the Board will be asked to approve a new list of approved signatories.</div>

- Updated calculations will be presented at the meeting if available. The fund is in acceptable shape due to overall accuracy of peak predictions, but the problems with accuracy in 2019 have hurt the fund.</div>

- EPB has historically recognized the value of its internet access products and the customers who use the product, by performing the necessary work to upgrade speed offerings each year.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
- The authorization by the board has allowed us to procure the necessary hardware and software upgrades to upgrade speeds again this year, and those upgrades have been successfully installed, with little interruption to customer services. This process began one year ago, with engineering design work done on the network, followed by construction activity by EPB crews to carry out the plans, without objectionable outages to customers.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
- This year our speed increases concentrate on uploads. We have just announced that our products are upgrading to 25/5, 50/10, and 100/20 MBPS (500% faster upload speeds)! This new upload speed will dramatically improve our network performance for businesses and those who work from home. Best of all, we’re providing this new functionality without increasing rates!</div>

Ø The December 2019 TVA FCA will decrease to 1.747 cents per kWh. This small decrease is actually surprising, since TVA had forced outages to Nuclear units at Watts Bar, and since water reserves were lower, making hydro generation less available. TVA’s explanation is that October sales were in line with predictions, and coal fired generation was low-cost and available, while purchases from neighbors were negligible.</div>

Ø You will be asked to consider going into Executive Session under KRS 61.810 (1) (g), which allows “Discussions between a public agency and a representative of a business entity and discussions concerning a specific proposal, if open discussions would jeopardize the siting, retention, expansion, or upgrading of the business.” No action from this report is likely, but it is very important that the Board understand the ongoing discussions.</div>

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The second session will be, if approved, conducted immediately after the first closed session.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">In Lieu of Taxes Report</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø One of the ways that a municipally owned utility, like Glasgow EPB, is different from investor owned utilities (like KU or LG&E) and cooperatives (like FRECC) is that we are required to make payments to local taxing authorities. These payments are based upon a complicated formula, but mostly the payments are based upon the value of our plant.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This year those payments to local schools, governments, the library, and the ambulance service, total over $412,000. This is money that these local agencies would not receive if Glasgow EPB were not municipally owned.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø I will have a detailed report on how much we are sending to each agency at the meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Final Approval of 2020 Retail Electric Rates</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø A couple of months ago, the Board accepted the results of our 2019 rate effectiveness study and the recommended changes which flowed from the study. These recommendations included continued increases in the Customer Charge and corresponding reductions in kWh and delivery charges, such that EPB continues to progress toward a 100% non-volumetric retail rate architecture.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The Board also directed me to seek the approval of TVA for the rate changes, and that process is now complete. Of course, the process was complicated by the parallel rate change recommendations which were presented due to the possible 3.1% wholesale rate reductions which would flow to EPB customers, if the Board accepted the TVA Long-Term Partnership Agreement. Since the Board has yet to act on that offer, the approved rates are based upon existing TVA wholesale rates, and the modifications we discussed in September.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The tariffs attached to this narrative are mostly identical to those proposed at the earlier meeting, but for a few small changes due to some tweaks requested by TVA in the review process. None of the changes are material.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø It should be noted that these changes will result in a net rate decrease, because the increases to Customer Charges are more than offset, in the aggregate, by reductions in delivery charges and kWh charges.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Discussion of Consultant Proposals</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the last meeting there was considerable discussion about the possibility of EPB hiring and independent, yet well qualified, consulting firm to advise EPB on a variety of topics, like rates, the TVA Long Term Partnership Agreement, and other long-range concepts about the future of Glasgow EPB.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Two proposals were submitted at the meeting. One from ICF Resources, LLC and the other from GDS Associates, Inc. A Board committee was appointed to review the proposals, and I was asked to review the proposals and submit my remarks and findings to the Board. I submitted those comments to the Board via email on October 30.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø I have not been informed about any deliberations by the committee, but this item is placed on the agenda so that full discussion of the proposals, and the wisdom of accepting either of them, can continue.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">The TVA Long Term Partnership Proposal</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Depending on the result of the consultant consideration above, this item might need to be on the agenda. If the board elects not to hire a consultant and, instead chooses to authorize me to execute the TVA Long Term Partnership Agreement, we could still enjoy the cost savings that result from the 3.1% wholesale power cost credit, which would become effective immediately.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø As I stated last month, this is a very complicated matter, but the simple elements are: TVA is willing to give LPCs a 3.1% credit to their power bills (for Glasgow, that means about $500,000 per year), and they also want LPCs to alter their power contract to make the term a rolling 20-year agreement instead of the rolling 5-year term.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø So far, Glasgow has missed three months of the 3.1% wholesale rate credit from TVA, which is a component of executing the Long-Term Partnership Agreement. The approximate money left unclaimed by Glasgow EPB, as a result of not executing the agreement, is $123,000, and that amount will increment again on December 1.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Attached to the narrative is a red-lined version of the agreement, which shows the additional explanatory language TVA agreed to add as a result of conversations with TVPPA. Please review the changes, as I believe the updated document fully addresses any reservations which were expressed earlier.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

Ø The last action item will be for the Board to set a date for the December meeting.</div>

Ø The November 2019 TVA FCA will increase to 1.758 cents per kWh. This is the second monthly increase to the FCA in the last few months. TVA’s explanation is that September sales were much higher than had been forecast, and the extremely hot weather, combined with a forced nuclear outage and low hydro resources, resulted in increased fuel costs. These increases came from purchasing more coal and from buying more power from neighbors.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø On November 1, the energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this anticipated increase to the wholesale cost of energy.</div>

Ø The Mayor has requested time on the agenda to make some remarks. Nothing further is known about this item.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø A couple of months ago we awarded bids to various vendors for hardware and materials needed for this project.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø On October 18 we opened bids for the labor necessary to install the hardware previously ordered to complete the transmission line work. At the meeting I will review the bids, and our budget for the work, and make a recommendation to the Board for approval of the best labor vendor for the project.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Consideration of TVA Long Term Offer</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This matter was discussed at the last meeting, but there was no resolution to the matter. Since then, considerable discussion on the issue has taken place in the community.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø TVA’s new CEO has proposed a novel approach to the problem of declining energy sales and TVA’s need to modernize its generation fleet. That proposal is outlined in a document attached to this narrative, entitled “Long-Term Agreement.”</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This is a very complicated matter, but the simple elements are: TVA is willing to give LPCs a 3.1% credit to their power bills (for Glasgow, that means about $500,000 per year), and they also want LPCs to alter their power contract to make the term a rolling 20-year agreement instead of the rolling 5-year term.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Some local opponents to the offer seem to base their opinions on a recently published article by Daniel Tait – representing the Energy and Policy Institute. Since this is such a critical decision for the Board, I’ve written a response to that article, so that the Board will have access to a better-rounded set of facts than the opinions presented in the Energy and Policy Institute article. My response is as follows:</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
o In a September 22, 2019 article, authored by Daniel Tait, and published by Energy and Policy Institute, TVA is condemned for offering a modified power contract which includes an extended term, in return for certain concessions. These concessions are not minor. A 3.1% credit on their wholesale power billing to local power companies (LPCs), coupled with TVA’s first offer to allow LPCs to make some of their own power, is a very big deal for TVA and the LPCs. Over 85% of the 154 TVA LPCs have already taken the offer. In examining this article, it is first important to know who Daniel Tait and the Energy and Policy Institute appear to represent. They represent the loose association of those renewable energy industries that want to replace the big power companies, like TVA, with the technologies that they find most profitable. In fact, they really want retail power costs to steadily increase, such that their replacement technologies are more economically attractive when compared to utilities. One cannot blame them for trying to be more profitable, but also the buyer should beware of whom they are accepting opinions from, when articles like this one are published.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
o It is notable that the author didn’t contact TVA for their input to the story, and much of the information which is available regarding TVA’s renewable energy portfolio, was ignored and omitted. Further, after speaking with BGMU representatives, I determined the author did not speak with them either, and likely didn’t contact other LPCs that they described in the article. No link to the CFC analysis is provided, so the reader is left wondering just what assumptions were used, when this study supposedly revealed the wide disparity between TVA wholesale rates and those of Kentucky Utilities, Duke, or MISO. Was this a cobbled together, apples vs. oranges analysis? It seems more likely than not.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
o Though the article does a fair job of identifying the underlying fiscal elements of the offer relative to power cost, and the decisions required by the LPCs thereupon, the author totally misses many other factors which will impact these decisions. The article curiously laments the wisdom of signing a contract with a twenty-year notice provision, while suggesting that many LPCs might be able to build new transmission facilities that could pay for themselves over a twenty-year, or less, period. In Glasgow’s case, such new facilities could easily cost over $100 million. Thus, they are suggesting that a twenty-year agreement with TVA is constraining, while a twenty-year bond issue to finance the duplication of transmission facilities that already exist, is somehow liberating.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
o The LPC-TVA relationship is more complex than the simple determination of who might provide the cheapest flow of electrons in the future, and over 85% of the LPCs have already processed the information and chosen to sign the new agreement. In doing so, it must be presumed that those LPCs value the 3.1% wholesale bill credit (which is worth about $500,000 per year to Glasgow’s customers), as well as TVA’s diverse portfolio of generation assets. TVA’s diverse portfolio of generation provides the comfort of knowing that, whatever the future holds with respect to one method of generating power, TVA has several other options at their disposal. They value TVA’s 86- year history of improving the environment of the seven states they serve, and TVA’s record of providing 99.999% reliability is a huge accomplishment. Glasgow and the other LPCs cherish the partnership with TVA that allows very small LPCs access to TVA’s expertise when certain technical facets of our distribution system present problems which challenge us. TVA provides its LPCs with backup mobile substations, which keep our customers in service, even after a catastrophic failure of a major substation component. TVA is also still close to its original mission of inventing ways to improve the operation of the grid, and the LPCs enjoy being a part of the research and development efforts which TVA undertakes, completes, and makes available to their LPCs.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
o While it is understandable that Energy and Policy Institute wants to make its funders happy by promoting more use of solar, and other renewable generation options, it isn’t okay to do that by attacking TVA. While it is true that TVA could do better, especially in the field of promoting renewable resources and allowing its LPCs to provide same to their respective communities, this agreement opens the door to doing just that.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
o At the meeting, Ernie Peterson will be present to answer any questions about the proposed agreement that come up. Like I said, this is a complicated matter which deserves ample consideration. But, as depicted by the average bill impacts presented last month, the agreement gives the Board an opportunity to reduce power bills for everyone.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Consideration of Programming Committee Recommendations</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The Committee considered programming service renewal proposals from Fox-owned networks – FX, FXX, FXM, NatGeo, and NatGeo Wild.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The renewal proposals cover only 2020 and 2021, and, if accepted, will add 14 cents per subscriber in programming cost for 2020, to the Essential Tier.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The programming cost would increase 3 cents per subscriber to the Premier Tier for 2020.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The Programming Committee met and considered the cost and benefits of accepting the renewal proposals and unanimously voted to recommend we accept the offer.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

Ø SEPTEMBER METRICS. Superintendent will do a brief review of the performance of the Glasgow EPB metrics for September.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø NOVEMBER FCA. The Superintendent will go over the upcoming change to the Fuel Cost Adjustment for November, as dictated by TVA.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø CPD LEDGER. Since we altered our Variable Rate, at the request of an Advisory Council of our customers, to limit our peak predictions to four days per month, we have financial exposure when we miss the correct actual peak hour. To compensate for that exposure, we added a small amount to the wholesale cost of a peak kW, to collect funds to pay for missed predictions. The Superintendent will report on the status of that fund thus far in the fiscal year.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø WINDSTREAM BANKRUPTCY. Windstream Holdings (parent company of Windstream Company in Glasgow) filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy early this year. There is a large outstanding debt which is owed to EPB (about $40,000 now). To protect our interests and work to secure payment, as well as a suitable new relationship with Windstream going forward, I have engaged Scott Bachert, with the firm Kerrick Bachert PSC, to represent us in this matter. There will be a report on the progress at the meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Conclusion</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The October 2019 TVA FCA will increase to 1.528 cents per kWh. This is the first monthly increase to the FCA in the last few months, since the July increase. TVA’s explanation is that August sales and weather were in line with predictions, but rainfall was low, providing less hydro power than expected. That shortfall was replaced with higher cost coal generation and purchases of power from neighbors.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø On October 1, the energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this anticipated increase to the wholesale cost of energy.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

Ø The present proposed agenda is attached to this narrative, but, as always, any board member can ask for additional items to be added.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This is the customary review and consideration of formally adopting the proposed minutes for the last meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Retail Rates Review</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We made a commitment to an Advisory Committee, and to the City of Glasgow, to conduct annual analysis of our retail electric rates. This is a sound business practice that should be followed, regardless of our commitments, and that review, which we began in August, will continue in the September meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø As per the Board’s input, more gradual progress toward making EPB’s rates 100% non-volumetric, will be presented at the meeting for your consideration.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Melanie Reed has completed her preliminary analysis of the performance of our various retail rates utilized by the different customer classes, and we will review those at the meeting, especially demonstrating the very small impact on total bills that would result from altering the Customer Charge, while reducing the kWh charge.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø It will be the Board’s decision on how we should proceed during September, and maybe October, as we move toward any adjustments necessary to stay the course.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Consideration of TVA Long Term Offer</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This matter really dovetails with the rate discussion above, and we will likely discuss both together, especially since the TVA offer would produce pretty dramatic changes in retail rate design.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø TVA’s new CEO has proposed a novel approach to the problem of declining energy sales, and that proposal is outlined in a document attached to this narrative, entitled “Long-Term Agreement.”</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This is a very complicated matter, but the simple elements are: TVA is willing to give LPCs a 3.1% credit to their power bills (for Glasgow, that means about $500,000 per year), they also want LPCs to alter their power contract to make the term a rolling 20-year agreement instead of the rolling 5-year term.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø There are many other “poison pills” in the proposed agreement, which is presently being reviewed by Ron Hampton.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting, Ernie Peterson will be present to answer any questions about the proposed agreement that come up. Like I said, this is exceedingly complicated and will require much consideration, but it really must be considered along with our proposed actions which flow from the annual rate effectiveness study.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Consideration of Programming Committee Recommendation</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Due to an unreasonable rate increase proposal from the former vendor, who supplied the software and hardware for the local radar on Channel 9, we terminated our agreement with them. Since then, we’ve placed the NOAA weather radar on that channel, and many deem that unsatisfactory.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Recently, a new vendor – WeatherPlay has made us a proposal to replace the NOAA weather radar with another product that seems more closely aligned with the former programming on Channel 9.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The Programming Committee met and considered the cost and benefits of accepting the WeatherPlay offer, and unanimously voted to recommend we accept the offer.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø At the meeting we will quickly review some of the video and the pricing of this new product, for your consideration.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Reports</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø AUGUST METRICS. Superintendent will do a brief review of the performance of the Glasgow EPB metrics for August.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø OCTOBER FCA. The Superintendent will go over the upcoming change to the Fuel Cost Adjustment for October, as dictated by TVA.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø CPD LEDGER. Since we altered our Variable Rate, at the request of an Advisory Council of our customers, to limit our peak predictions to four days per month, we have financial exposure when we miss the correct actual peak hour. To compensate for that exposure, we added a small amount to the wholesale cost of a peak kW, to collect funds to pay for missed predictions. The Superintendent will report on the status of that fund thus far in the fiscal year.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø WINDSTREAM BANKRUPTCY. Windstream Holdings (parent company of Windstream Company in Glasgow) filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy early this year. There is a large outstanding debt which is owed to EPB (about $40,000 now). To protect our interests and work to secure payment, as well as a suitable new relationship with Windstream going forward, I have engaged Scott Bachert, with the firm Kerrick Bachert PSC, to represent us in this matter. There will be a report on the progress at the meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The September 2019 TVA FCA will decrease to 1.503 cents per kWh. This is the second monthly decrease to the FCA in the last two months, since the July increase. TVA’s explanation is that July sales and weather were in line with predictions, and ample rain provided more hydro power than expected.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø On September 1, the energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this anticipated decrease to the wholesale cost of energy.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø The present proposed agenda is attached to this narrative, but, as always, any board member can ask for additional items to be added.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø As we’ve all seen, proper compliance with Robert’s Rules of Order, as adopted by the Board earlier this year, was quite difficult due to the volume of rules contained therein, and the general lack of expertise on the many facets to Robert’s Rules.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Since Glasgow EPB has operated quite effectively for over 50 years using simple parliamentary procedures to govern its meetings, the Board may want to consider adopting a written version of basic parliamentary procedure, perhaps customized to meet the specific desires of the Board, such that a return to less burdensome meeting procedures can occur.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø A copy of the parliamentary procedure document presented to you last month is attached again for the Board’s consideration. The document includes a few recommended changes, which would better reflect the established operational habits adopted by the EPB over the years. At the meeting this document can be discussed, and any desired alterations can be directed to the Superintendent. If the Board chooses to adopt the Rules of Order document, this document will be formally recorded in the minutes as to what meeting rules are in place for Glasgow EPB.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Review and Approve Minutes of July 23, 2019 Meeting</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This is the customary review and consideration of formally adopting the proposed minutes for the last meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Consider Ratification of Changes to Materials Bid from July</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø After the bid opening of "Transmission Project A" we separated items to find the best price for each item from each vendor. After the Board gave me authorization to proceed with purchase orders, we had a few instances where a vendor made contact with us requesting to be withdrawn from a couple of bids due to inaccuracy of their bid (bid wrong item or gave us wrong price), or instances where they bid materials together (buy all or none) to get us a better price (itemizing every quote still gets us a better price). After talking to each vendor and getting price changes on items such as Ductile Iron Poles, Fiberglass Crossarms, etc., the new price for the project was $241,544.39 vs. the original bid of $236,823.19, which you approved. This is not a material change on a project of this size -- an increase of only around $4700, but to get the minutes and the Purchase Orders to agree, we need you to ratify this change.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Preliminary Retail Rates Review</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We made a commitment to an Advisory Committee, and to the City of Glasgow, to conduct annual analysis of our retail electric rates. This is a sound business practice that should be followed, regardless of our commitments, and that review will begin to be shared with you at the August meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø We will likely start off with a brief review of the presentation on the history of the EPB rate evolution, which ought to get everyone on the same page as to where we have been and where previous boards have set our course to follow.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø Melanie Reed has completed her preliminary analysis of the performance of our various retail rates utilized by the different customer classes, and we will review those at the meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø It will be the Board’s decision on how we should proceed during September, and maybe October, as we move toward any adjustments necessary to stay the course.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Consideration of TVA Long Term Offer</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This matter really dovetails with the rate discussion above, and we will likely discuss both together.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø TVA’s new CEO has proposed a novel approach to the problem of declining energy sales, and that proposal is outlined in a document attached to this narrative, entitled “Long-Term Agreement.”</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø This is a very complicated matter, but the simple elements are: TVA is willing to give LPCs a 3.1% credit to their power bills (for Glasgow, that means about $500,000 per year), they also want LPCs to alter their power contract to make the term a rolling 20-year agreement instead of the rolling 5-year term.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø There are many other “poison pills” in the proposed agreement, which is set to be considered by the TVA board on August 22. Like I said, this is exceedingly complicated and will require much consideration.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Reports</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø JULY METRICS. Superintendent will do a brief review of the performance of the Glasgow EPB metrics for July.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø SEPTEMBER FCA. The Superintendent will go over the upcoming change to the Fuel Cost Adjustment for September, as dictated by TVA.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø CPD LEDGER. Since we altered our Variable Rate, at the request of an Advisory Council of our customers, to limit our peak predictions to four days per month, we have financial exposure when we miss the correct actual peak hour. To compensate for that exposure, we added a small amount to the wholesale cost of a peak kW, to collect funds to pay for missed predictions. The Superintendent will report on the status of that fund thus far in the fiscal year.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø GLENVIEW HEALTHCARE FACILITY BANKRUPTCY. This was a big surprise to us. At the meeting I will provide an estimate of our likely loss due to our security being lower than our exposure. This matter again points out the wisdom of getting adequate security on all commercial customers, no matter how trustworthy they believe themselves to be. This customer has paid their bills in proper fashion for decades. But, still, bad things happen to good businesses.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Ø WINDSTREAM BANKRUPTCY. Windstream Holdings (parent company of Windstream Company in Glasgow) filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy early this year. There is a large outstanding debt which is owed to EPB (about $40,000 now and increasing each month). To protect our interests and work to secure payment, as well as a suitable new relationship with Windstream going forward, I have engaged Scott Bachert, with the firm Kerrick Bachert PSC, to represent us in this matter. There will be a report on the progress at the meeting.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: underline;">Conclusion</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1c1e21; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px;">
Please let me know if you have any questions before the meeting.</div>
