Models used to forecast resource availability indicate

adequate generation resource capacity will be available. Example of April 2016: 5,000 MW’s of available on peak daily

capacity. Example of July 2016: 4,700 MW’s of available on peak daily

generation capacity. The model uses known information such as planned

generation outages, weather and load forecast, gas price forecast, water supply and imports and exports based on transmission line outages and adjacent area pricing.

Page 57/218

Conclusions:

• Forward prices remain low due to moderate demand and adequate generation supply.

• Regulatory, economic and political uncertainty may bring changes to the industry.

• We see a declining El Nino forecast however model uncertainty exists later in the spring. The ensemble model predictions forecast a normal water supply runoff and a predictable summer.

• Snohomish is planning for blend or slightly below average water conditions for the remainder of the water year.

• The oil and natural gas markets should rebalance to slightly higher levels due to consumption growth, reductions in excess inventory and cuts in new infrastructure development, however historic low prices are expected for 2016.

Heating degree days• Heating degree days is a

measurement designed to reflect the energy needed to heat a home.

• A heating degree day is the difference between the daily average outdoor temperature and a baseline indoor temperature of 65 degrees.

• The sum of those daily calculations for a month – or a billing period –better captures the impacts of short cold snaps than a monthly average temperature can.

Regular Meeting February 2, 2016

The Regular Meeting was convened by President Tanya Olson at 9:00 a.m. in the Commission

Meeting Room. Those attending were David Aldrich, Vice President; Kathleen Vaughn,

Secretary; CEO/General Manager Craig Collar; General Counsel Anne Spangler; Assistant

General Managers James West, and Glenn McPherson; Interim Assistant General Manager Joe

Fina; Chief Information Officer Benjamin Beberness; other District staff; Clerk of the Board

Melissa Collins; and Deputy Clerks of the Board Traci Brumbaugh and Lela Wall.

* Items Taken Out of Order

**Non-Agenda Items

1. CEO/GENERAL MANAGER BRIEFING AND STUDY SESSION

A. Update

Media. Communications and Marketing Director Julee Cunningham reported on current

news articles related to the District, and provided an animated video explaining monthly

billing.

Warm Beach Water Association Feasibility Study Update. Senior Manager Water

Resource Operations, Maintenance & Engineering Brant Wood stated that the Warm

Beach Water Association (Association) approached the District about a potential

acquisition or consolidation of their 590 customer water system, which is directly adjacent

to the District’s Kayak System. The District made a preliminary estimate and determined

that the Association’s system would need approximately $7 million worth of

improvements to put their system on par with the rest of the District’s customers. In

December, the Association’s Board of Directors requested the District move forward with

requesting a grant from the Department of Health for a feasibility study. The Department

of Health showed support by offering to fund the study with their unused 2015 grant

funds. Next steps include a Resolution to execute the contract being brought forward for

the Board’s approval at the next Commission meeting; periodical updates of the feasibility

study; public meetings; and further funding options. Mr. Wood also reviewed some of the

study testing that would be completed and the potential benefits of acquiring the

Association’s system.

Legislative Update. Legislative Liaison Brenda White provided an update on the State

Legislative session, which is in week four and is half-way over. Cut-off for policy bills

will be Friday, February 5, 2016 and the cut-off for fiscal bills will be

Tuesday, February 9, 2016. Ms. White discussed the following high-priority bills:

HB 1130 – Water power license fees - This bill received a hearing and is now awaiting an

executive vote from the House General Government. Position: Support.

Page 72/218

Regular Meeting 2 February 2, 2016

HB 2261 – Utility customer backbilling - This bill as amended, allows a consumer-owned

utility to backbill customers for charges missed due to the utility's billing error for no

longer than six months from the date the billing error occurred. This bill has direct and

immediate impacts to the District and is being closely monitored. This bill is currently in

House Rules for consideration. Position: Oppose.

HB 2346 – Renewable energy promotion - This bill is sponsored by Representative

Jeff Morris and had a hearing and a number of stakeholder meetings. As it moves out of

Committee with numerous amendments, there is one amendment that the District will

continue to monitor and hope to fix as it moves through the next sequence of hearings.

This bill is currently in House Appropriations. A new section of the bill does provide

greater flexibility in utility owned solar projects. Position: Support.

SB 6188 – Distributed generation - This bill is sponsored by Senator John McCoy and not

likely the primary vehicle for solar. The District will focus more on HB 2346. This bill has

had a hearing, but has not been scheduled for an executive vote and will need to be out of

its policy committee this week. Position: Concerns.

HB 2892 - Electric fuel mix information - Companion bill is SB 6533. This bill is

improving the accuracy and transparency of the reporting and calculation of the fuel mix

information to retail electric customers. In order for the Fuel Mix Report to be more

accurate and transparent, HB 2892 does the following: (1) replaces ‘net system power

mix’ with ‘unspecified resources’; (2) requires a retail electric supplier and the

Department of Commerce to identify a renewable according to the listed fuel mix

categories, regardless of whether the non-power attributes (RECs) have been unbundled;

(3) directs the Department to convene a work group to suggest modifications to the

process of gathering, reporting, calculating and tracking fuel mix data, and then submit a

report with suggested modifications to the Legislature by December 1, 2016. The District

currently is in a support position; however, that may change in the next few weeks. The

Public Generating Pool has taken a lead on this issue. The District will be meeting with

the Department of Commerce and request they restart discussions and make substantial

changes to this bill. Position: Support.

Commissioner Vaughn asked if there needed to be a correction to the State budget now

that the ethics report is complete and there were no findings. CEO/General Manager Craig

Collar stated that the District will double check to see if any official action is needed;

however, Mr. Collar’s understanding is that as long as there were no findings in the

investigation, no other action was needed on the part of the District.

B. Carbon Discussion

Government Relations Director Jessica Matlock provided a presentation on five topics

impacting the current state of carbon, including regulations and legislative proposals:

Page 73/218


EPA 111d Clean Power Plan (CPP) - The Clean Power Plan is one of three rule options,

issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to regulate the emission of carbon

dioxide (CO2). This rule option establishes state-by-state CO2 emission reduction “goals”

beginning in 2022; directing each state to submit a plan for EPA approval that shows how

affected Electric Generating Units (EGU) will meet the states reduction goals. The goal

for the Nation is to reduce the energy sector emissions by 32 percent, from 2005 levels, by

the year 2030. The EPA determined Emission Performance Rates by using the Best

System of Emission Reduction (BSER), which consists of three building blocks, giving

guidance to states on how to reduce emissions.

General Counsel Anne Spangler explained that the Carbon Pollution Standards rule option

EPA 111b is for new units, while EPA 111d is for existing units. The controversy is that

EPA 111d allows the EPA to regulate existing units, but instead the rule is the whole

power sector, going beyond the fence line of the existing power plants, to cover the carbon

footprint of the state. To determine the targets, the EPA used the three building blocks.

The EPA created the targets, with existing plants, by looking at how much efficiency

could be created in the state; how much generation shifting could be done; and how much

could be achieved by shifting to renewables. However, the District is not limited to just

those three methods.

Ms. Matlock explained the Clean Power Plan goals, and that the EPA wanted to provide

flexibility to states to achieve their goals. States were allowed to choose a rate-based or

mass-based program. The rate-based goals for Washington State were reviewed. A chart

comparing the EGU Standards Approach to the State Measures Approach was shown and

discussed. States may choose to cooperate with other states by either merging (rate-based)

or adding their (mass-based) state targets. The other alternative is for each state to have its

own plan, but develop a trading-ready plan. The state of Washington is discussing a

mass-based, state plan with possible allowances to be traded between states. Washington

is expected to be able to meet the Clean Power Plan (CPP’s) requirements by following

existing state laws (closure of Centralia) and carrying out already-planned greenhouse gas

(GHG) reduction strategies (mostly energy efficiency). Both Oregon and Washington are

expected to meet their state goals, through planned closures, and be in positions to receive

credits that would be valuable under the CPP.

The CPP and Federal Plan/Model Rules timeline was shared. Some significant changes,

between the preliminary and final drafts, benefited Washington State. Currently 27 States

are opposed, along with some industry groups. Washington and 18 other states intervened

in support of the EPA on the Rules. Background on the substantive challenge to the Rule,

as there is difference of opinion as to whether it complies with the Clean Air Act, was

discussed. Ms. Spangler stated the census is that the Court will provide some deference to

the EPA, and find a way to up-hold the Rules.

Page 74/218


Clean Air Rule - Ms. Matlock provided quotes from The Seattle Times, concerning

Governor Jay Inslee’s June 2015 Executive Order directing the Washington Department

of Ecology (DOE) to make new rules Clean Air Rules (CAR) aimed at reducing

greenhouse gas emissions in the state. Further details of the Clean Air Rule were provided,

including caps to be set based on each organization’s baseline of emissions, and how the

caps will be determined. Ms. Spangler added that the Clean Air Rule does not rely on the

Fuel-Mix Disclosure Report; instead, it is based on actual emissions. Ms. Matlock will

meet with the Department of Ecology to discuss the specific issue. The Clean Air Rule

specifics were mentioned. A graph was shown of how Washington State would like the

levels of emissions reductions and greenhouse gas pollution to look in the future and the

CAR next steps were discussed. Discussion ensued regarding the public comment period.

The District is working with diverse industry groups to determine best benefit for the

electric utilities.

Initiative 732 (I-732) – Carbon Washington – Ms. Matlock provided a brief background

on the individuals who support bringing a British Columbia-style carbon tax to

Washington State. The “Four Pillars” of I-732 were discussed. The specifics and timeline

of I-732 were reviewed.

Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy - The Alliance grew out of the Washington for

Business and Climate Action group, which is comprised of over 250 businesses and

associations. In early 2015, members of Washington for Business and Climate Action

formed alliances with the environmental community to form the Alliance for Jobs and

Clean Energy (Alliance). In October 2015, the Alliance announced that they would bring

an initiative to the people in 2016; however, an official initiative has not been written. The

details of the plan are not out publicly. The main points of the plan that were shared with

the District are as follows: (1) The intent of the initiative is to build on the state’s Clean

Air Rule by enforcing existing global warming pollution reduction targets; (2) Charge the

largest emitters a fee for each ton of carbon pollution they emit. The fees would be

collected from imported, in-state generation and exported fuels from the industrial,

electricity, natural gas, and transportation sectors and estimated to raise over $1 billion in

revenues. A majority of the revenues would be re-invested in accelerating the transition to

a clean energy economy including low-income relief in the form of Working Families Tax

Credit, clean energy projects, water projects, forest health and administrative costs. The

Alliance is looking at political feasibility of the plan, and will not move forward if there is

a chance that it will not pass.

Ms. Matlock reviewed the following Washington state bills HB 2421 / SB 6173 – this bill

would prohibit the DOE from adopting a rule or policy establishing a statewide limit, cap

or standard to control the amount of green gas emissions; HB 2506 – this bill requires the

DOE to create a mass-based compliance plan as required by EPA’s CPP;

HB 2777 / SB 6381 – this bill provides a placeholder for an alternative to I-732; and

SB 6306 creates a carbon tax imposed on fossil fuels extracted, manufactured, or

introduced into the state. The District’s considerations were reviewed and discussed.

The meeting recessed at 10:18 a.m. and reconvened at 10:26 a.m.

C. Operational Dispatch Radio System Replacement Project – Part 22 VHF License Purchase

Manager Telecommunications Jim McDougal presented information regarding the

purchase of Part 22 VFH (Very High Frequency) FCC (Federal Communications

Commission) Licenses. The District is designing and building a replacement system for its

current 900 MHz (megahertz) Motorola Smartnet Radio Dispatch System. The current

radio system is approaching twenty years of age, and is close to no longer being supported

by Motorola.

The benefits of VHF were highlighted, including superior coverage, compared to higher

frequencies, as well as providing the capability for a parallel system with the current

900 MHz simulcast system. A parallel system would enable the District to operationally

optimize the new system, before having users vacate the old system. This would assist the

District in meeting its core operational requirements, primarily switching and dispatching

field personnel. Further information obtained from a yearlong system analysis, and the

2015 storm season, showed a requirement for a reserve capacity, in terms of talk groups

and channels, that additional VHF spectrum would facilitate. Mr. McDougal explained

that the District currently has a handful of shared use VHF frequencies, called Part 90

VHF licenses, to design the base capability for the new system. However, since Part 90

licenses are shared use, there is a potential for outside interference, due to others being

able to operate on the same frequencies. If the radio design is done well, interference

could be minimized, because a license search can tell who is using what frequencies and

areas.

Market conditions for purchasing Part 22 VHF licenses were discussed, as well as further

differences between Part 22 VHF and the District’s existing Part 90 licenses. As opposed

to a Part 90 license, a Part 22 VHF license is an exclusive use frequency within the market

area. The market area for these Part 22 licenses is Western Washington from the Canadian

border down to the border of Lewis County and Cowlitz County, and from the Cascades

out to the Pacific. Mr. McDougal emphasized that holding a VHF license in a market area

that is essentially Western Washington, with exclusive use frequencies, would provide the

District huge advantages in building a reliable system, with minimal interference issues,

and because the Part 22 licenses were never included in a narrow band mandate, the

District would be able to, in most instances, get two useable radio channels out of each

license.

The details of acquiring the additional VHF Spectrum were provided. An individual

named Scott C. MacIntyre holds eleven licenses and is offering to sell the District ten

licenses, providing that the District can get that many licenses to coordinate through

Canada. The individual license prices vary from $40,000 to $75,000. Mr. McDougal

mentioned that these licenses are real assets, and the District would hold and buy the

licenses, which would

Page 76/218


provide the District with the exclusive right to operate on those frequencies. Furthermore,

the design life for the new radio system is estimated conservatively at fifteen years. At the

end of that period, there are expected to be new Broadband public agency networks that

evolve, and if the District does not need the licenses, they can be sold to somebody else.

The District only pays for them one time. In 2015, the District went out for a Request for

Proposal (RFP) method, and of the people that the District inquired with, only one

responded, Scott MacIntyre.

Mr. McDougal responded to Commissioner Olson’s question as to why only one

responsive bidder and stated that, for the Part 22 VHF licenses, there are a total of 16 or

18 frequency pairs that are allocated as Part 22 paging frequencies in an area, other places

are not interested in selling. However, Mr. MacIntyre bought the licenses with the intent

of selling them later, and did not intend to use them operationally. When looking at

acquiring these licenses, the District’s engineering consultants suggested that the District

purchase the entire market, due to the huge advantage for resale; however, the

coordination with Canada would be key. In the asset purchase agreement, as written, all

eleven of the licenses will be transferred and assigned to the District. The strategy is to

have all eleven licenses assigned to the District, and sent through Canada for coordination.

The likelihood of getting all eleven approved is remote because of frequency plan

differences between the United States and Canada, and the likelihood that a Canadian

radio operator will already be using the frequency or an adjacent one. The District will

apply for each frequency, and depending on the results from Canada will decide what the

District has to work with in terms of Spectrum and the overall radio frequencies.

This item will be brought before the Board for approval at the next Commission meeting.

D. 2016 Re-Mapped Budget

Assistant General Manager Finance and Treasurer Glenn McPherson presented a

PowerPoint presentation on the reformatting of the District’s 2016 budget, which will

allow for greater consistency with SAP reporting. By re-mapping the 2016 budget to

match SAP reporting, authorized spending levels would not change; however, the

reporting format will change. There are no standards or prescribed formats for tracking

and reporting budgets, which are different from financial statements. Companies come up

with their own formats and structure based on their needs; however, the budget formats

usually follow the Statement of Revenues and Expenses closely. The District is heading

toward that type of format. The format will follow SAP standard practice as closely as

possible, without modifying the system. In the past, the District did a modified cash flow;

there were Sources and Uses of Funds. To the extent that there are pieces of the budget

that do not follow the statement of revenues and expenses, a quarterly presentation will

provided to the Board.

Page 77/218


Manager Budget and Financial Planning Sarah Bond presented slides depicting a

crosswalk of the current budget formatting, the proposed adjustments, and the proposed

new format. Starting with the Electric System, the different columns were explained for

the 2016 approved budget, including the adjustments that are needed to get to a Generally

Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) format. Ms. Bond noted that the District will be

making monthly adjustments for unbilled revenue, at the end of every month, and this

would be reflected in the District’s income statement. Even though the format is changing,

the overall level of authorized expenditures approved by the Board remains unchanged,

except for the pass-through of Municipal Utility Tax, which reduces the expected

expenditures. The Water System and Generation System were also discussed, including

details regarding Energy Sales, Other Revenues, Operating and Maintenance (O&M),

Capital and Debt Service, Taxes and Depreciation, and Level of Expenditures. The total

overall level of approved expenditures, approved by the Board, for the Water System and

Generation System, and expected expenditures all remain unchanged.

The next steps are to revise the 2016 Proposed Budget book, reflecting the new format,

and work with the individual departments and managers to update detailed budgets to the

new reporting structure.

The meeting recessed at 11:08 a.m.

Mark Stephens, Christina Brueckner, Chris Yurick, Lee Andrews, and Monee Farkasosky,

known as the Transportation Department Office Team were recognized as the team of the

month for February.

Page 78/218


*3. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC

Jolynn Traynor, Everett, expressed concerns about an unusually high August power bill,

and her attempt to have the bill investigated by the District or her apartment complex.

Commissioner Olson advised that Customer Service Management experts were available

to meet, outside the meeting room, once all of the comments have been received.

Kyle Herman, Marysville, has lived at his residence for four months and asked for

clarification on the way the District is estimating power bills based on the previous year’s

billing cycle.

George Smith, Everett, shared a concern regarding an increase in electric bills, and the

accuracy of estimating bills every other month. Mr. Smith also inquired about monthly

meter reading versus estimating bills every other month.

Jesse Jones, Mukilteo, a media representative, has received interest via social media

regarding District customers who were unable to attend the meeting during the day and

asked the Board if they would consider holding an evening meeting. Commissioner Olson

responded that all of the Commission meetings are published and the Board would need to

confer with staff regarding the scheduling of an evening meeting. The next regular

meeting is on February 16, 2016, and staff would confirm with Mr. Jones on the date and

time for an evening meeting.

Mr. Jones also asked questions regarding calculation of charges, customer refunds, and

bill true ups. Assistant General Manager, Customer and Energy Services Jim West

responded that the District reverses entries if estimates are not accurate. Senior Manager,

Customer Service Support Karen Sparkman added that corrections are made immediately

in minimum charge situations, upon customer request.

An animated video explaining monthly billing was shown. Mr. West advised that if a

customer calls the District with a concern about a bill, a customer’s estimate can be taken,

and then a true up would be done when the meter is read on the second month. Customers

are expected to pay when they are billed, but if there is a question about an estimated bill,

the District is willing to work with customers. Customers, who have not been in their

homes for an entire year, can be moved to an estimate based on their most recent period of

usage. For most customers that have been in their homes for twelve months or longer, an

estimated bill will be a good approximation of half of the usage for the sixty-day period.

Ms. Traynor had a follow-up comment regarding her bill, specifically related to an

electrical outlet in a common area outside her apartment. Ms. Sparkman responded that

the District would be happy to work with Ms. Traynor and look into her concerns.

TITLE

Consideration of a Resolution Declaring the Existence of Special Market Conditions and

Authorizing the Purchase of Federal Communications Commission Authorized VHF Frequency

Licenses from Scott MacIntyre

Estimated Expenditure: $734,000 Presentation Planned

Statutory

SUMMARY STATEMENT:


Governance Process, Board Job Description, GP-3(4)…non-delegable, statutorily assigned

Board duty.

The District is in the process of replacing its aging 900MHz dispatch radio system with a new

digital radio system operating at VHF frequencies. Additional radio spectrum (VHF Frequency

Licenses) is needed to fully support the operational requirements of the new system. In February

2014 the District advertised RFP No. 6365 for the possible purchase of eight (8) VHF frequency

licenses. Only one party, Scott MacIntyre, responded to RFP No. 6365 offering to sell eight (8)

VHF licenses. However the offer was rejected in April 2014 due to frequency coordination

requirements with Industry Canada that could not be met.

District staff canvassed the market to determine current price and availability of VHF Frequency

Licenses in the area. In particular, a current FCC records search has confirmed that Mr.

MacIntyre is still the only entity holding and willing to sell VHF Frequency Licenses in the

quantities needed for use in the new system. A draft Asset Purchase Agreement has been

negotiated with Mr. MacIntyre which will accommodate the frequency coordination

requirements of Industry Canada and allow the District to acquire the VHF spectrum required for

Page 127/218

Page 2

its replacement radio system. The purchase price of each VHF Frequency License listed in the

Asset Purchase Agreement varies from $40,000 to $75,000 each depending on the subject area of

the License and whether it is partitioned.

Accordingly, staff recommends that the Commission pass the resolution finding that special

market conditions currently exist with respect to the purchase of up to ten (10) VHF Frequency

Licenses; finding that staff have taken reasonable precautions to secure the lowest price for said

Licenses that is practicable under the circumstances; waiving bid and performance bond

requirements; and authorizing purchase of the VHF Frequency Licenses from Scott MacIntyre in

accordance with the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

A RESOLUTION Declaring the Existence of Special Market

Conditions and Authorizing the Purchase of Federal

Communications Commission Authorized VHF Frequency

Licenses from Scott MacIntyre

WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.280 provides that with respect to purchases in which

“special market conditions” are present, the normal competitive bidding requirements

may be waived by the Commission provided that reasonable precautions are taken to

secure the lowest price practicable under the circumstances; and

WHEREAS, the District desires to acquire a number of Federal Communications

Commission authorized VHF Frequency Licenses (“VHF Frequency Licenses”) for the

purpose of providing radio frequency spectrum necessary for the construction of a new

District dispatch radio network to replace the current aging 900MHz SmartNet simulcast

radio system; and

WHEREAS, in February 2014, Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County

(“District”) advertised Request for Proposal No. 6365 (“RFP No. 6365) for the possible

purchase of eight (8) VHF Frequency Licenses; and

WHEREAS, specifications for RFP No. 6365 required that the VHF Frequency

Licenses offered for sale be cleared by Canada for usage in the United States near the

Canadian border; and

WHEREAS, the District received only one (1) proposal in response to RFP No.

6365 in which Scott MacIntyre offered to sell the District eight (8) partitioned VHF

Frequency Licenses at a cost of $52,000 per License for a total of $454,272 (including

sales tax); and

Page 129/218


WHEREAS, in April 2014, the proposal was rejected by the Commission because

the offered VHF Frequency Licenses were not cleared for usage by Canada in the subject

area (Mr. MacIntyre noted this in his proposal); and

WHEREAS, the District still needs to obtain a number of VHF Frequency

Licenses; and

WHEREAS, District staff canvassed the market to determine current price and

availability of VHF Frequency Licenses in the area, and the only person or entity that

could be identified as a party willing to sell a sufficient number of VHF Frequency

Licenses is Scott MacIntyre; and

WHEREAS, Mr. MacIntyre is willing to sell up to ten (10) VHF Frequency

Licenses in either a partitioned or non-partitioned form in accordance with the attached

Asset Purchase Agreement (Exhibit A); and

WHEREAS, District staff recommend that the Commission declare the existence

of special market conditions with respect to VHF Frequency Licenses and authorize the

purchase of up to ten (10) VHF Frequency Licenses from Scott MacIntyre.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission of Public Utility

District No. 1 of Snohomish County as follows:

1. Based on the facts and circumstances set forth above and on the

recommendation of District staff and for purposes of RCW 39.04.280, the Commission

finds that special market conditions currently exist with respect to the purchase of up to

ten (10) VHF Frequency Licenses and that staff have taken reasonable precautions to

secure the lowest price for said Licenses that is practicable under the circumstances.

Page 130/218


2. The Commission hereby waives the statutory requirements for bid and

performance bonds which are normally applicable to competitively bid material

purchases that might otherwise apply to the procurement of the VHF Frequency Licenses.

3. Accordingly, the Commission authorizes the District CEO/General

Manager or his designee to take all reasonable and necessary actions to purchase up to

ten (10) VHF Frequency Licenses from Scott MacIntyre, including but not limited to

executing an Asset Purchase Agreement with Mr. MacIntyre in a form substantially

similar to Exhibit A; provided further that the final form of the Asset Purchase

Agreement and documents related to the purchase shall be subject to the review and

approval of the District’s General Counsel or her designee.

day of February, 2016.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:


E-1 The purpose of the Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County is that the people of

Snohomish County and Camano Island own and control utilities that are valued as dependable,

safe and responsible, and at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound business principles.

Funding is offered through the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Federal Grant Award,

supported by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and administered by the

Washington State Department of Health (DOH) to assist the District in preparing a feasibility

study of the potential consolidation of the Warm Beach Water Association with the District’s

Kayak Water system. The Consolidation and Restructuring Technical Assistance Grant amount

is $30,000 and the study must be completed by August 31, 2016. The grant funds are subject to

both state and federal requirements.

By way of background, in late 2015 the Board of Directors of the Warm Beach Water

Association (Association) asked the District to provide a preliminary review of their water

system and determine whether or not it would be possible for the District to take it over. Warm

Beach’s water system, and iron and manganese treatment, are aging and are a maintenance

Page 141/218

Page 2

burden to the purveyor. The 590 customer water system is adjacent to the District’s Kayak water

system south of Stanwood.

The District met with the Association several times and completed an initial, no-cost, high-level

evaluation of their system. After going through the preliminary findings with the Association,

they were interested in moving forward with a more in-depth study to determine whether or not it

would be technically and financially feasible for the District to take over the Warm Beach water

system. On December 14, 2015, the Association formally requested that the District proceed

with applying for a $30,000 grant from the DOH to perform the required full feasibility study.

The DOH supports the District’s potential acquisition of the Warm Beach water system and has

offered to fund the feasibility study with existing, unallocated 2015 funds rather than wait for the

District to apply for the 2016 grant fund cycle as originally planned. The grant funds will allow

District staff and consultants to prepare an in-depth feasibility study that evaluates the financial

and technical viability of acquiring the Warm Beach water system and consolidating it with the

District’s adjacent Kayak water system. Issues that will be examined in more detail as part of the

study include the Warm Beach system water rights, water quality, system hydraulics, and

financing options. The findings of the feasibility study will assist the District and the

Association to decide whether to proceed in a process towards consolidation of the water

systems.

District legal counsel has reviewed the DOH Grant Agreement and approved the agreement as to

form. Water Utility staff have worked with Finance, Risk Management, and General Accounting

on the grant terms and conditions.

Water Utility staff recommend entering into the grant agreement with the DOH to undertake a

feasibility study for the Warm Beach Water Association.

SUBJECT: Warm Beach Water Association and PUD Merger Study

Dear Brant,

The Warm Beach Water Association Board of Directors would like to request that the Snohomish County Public Utility District No 1 proceed with a consolidation feasibility study between the Warm Beach water system and PUD's Kayak Estates water system. The WBW A Board of Directors has unanimously agreed to this request and are following the membership-directed mandate approved at our last Annual meeting September 12, 2015. Tlus mandate directed the Board to explore the possibility of a merger with the PUD and report back no later than June 2016. We feel that we cannot make a complete recommendation to the membership without hard data from a feasibility study.

We understand that a monthly surcharge may be incuned for the cost of capital improvements to the WBW A infrastructure. However, we will need as accurate as possible estimate of these increased charges in order to actively move forward with a final proposal. We are attempting to keep the membership appraised of our actions by including informational newsletters with the bi-monthly billing. In these letters, we are emphasizing that even if we do not merge with PUD, the membership will have to incur capital costs in the near term in order to maintain our current infrastructure.

The WBW A Board would like to thank you for yom assistance and support and hope that this can develop into a long-term mutually beneficial anangement.

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

Warm Beach Water Association and SNO-PUD 1 - Kayak Consolidation Study

2015 Small Water System Consolidation Grant

Project Title: Warm Beach Water Association and SNO-PUD1-Kayak Consolidation PURPOSE: The purpose of this grant is to assist in the connection of the Warm Beach Water Association (#93000) to Sno-PUD1- Kayak Estates (#23111). Background/General Information: Warm Beach Water Association has requested Snohomish County PUD evaluate the potential for consolidation of the two systems. Warm Beach’s water system, and iron and manganese treatment, are aging and are a maintenance burden to the purveyor. Allowing Snohomish PUD to serve Warm Beach, the water system will increase level of service, reliability, and water quality. There is a water right associated with Warm Beach; however it needs reviewing and verifying. Project funds will be used to fund the assessment of existing facilities and an initial water right review. Key goals will be to determine improvements Snohomish PUD would consider necessary as a condition for taking on ownership and operation of the system, and to provide this information to assist the Warm Beach membership in deciding whether to proceed in a process toward consolidation. Funds administered as part of this project will not be used to cover costs associated with the construction and installation of water infrastructure. Contract Administration: The funding provided in this contract will be used to cover the costs associated with assessing the existing facilities of Warm Beach, including the iron and manganese treatment facility. The funding will also help with an initial review of Warm Beach’s water right. The project’s scope of work is comprised of the following activities: TASK/ACTIVITY:

DELIVERABLE: DUE DATE:

Task 1: Engineering Report

Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), 2) Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), and 3) the Washington State Auditor’s annual instructions for financial reporting. Grantee’s participating in joint risk pools shall maintain sufficient documentation to support the aggregate claim liability information reported on the balance sheet. The state of Washington, its agents, and employees need not be named as additional insured under a self-insured property/liability pool, if the pool is prohibited from naming third parties as additional insured.

Grantee shall provide annually to DOH a summary of coverages and a letter of self insurance, evidencing continued coverage under Grantee’s self-insured/liability pool or self-insured risk management program. Such annual summary of coverage and letter of self insurance will be provided on the anniversary of the start date of this Agreement.

10. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE

In the event of an inconsistency in this Grant, the inconsistency shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order:

• Applicable federal and state of Washington statutes and regulations, including but not limited

to federal law as set forth in the Federal Compliance and Standard Federal Certifications and

Assurances, Attachment I.

• General Terms and Conditions

• Attachment III – Project Scope of Work

• Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Requirements

11. SUSPENSION OF PERFORMANCE AND RESUMPTION OF PERFORMANCE

In the event Grant funding from state, federal, or other sources is withdrawn, reduced, or limited in any way after the effective date of this Grant and prior to normal completion, DOH may give notice to Grantee to suspend performance as an alternative to termination. DOH may elect to give written notice to Grantee to suspend performance when DOH determines that there is a reasonable likelihood that the funding insufficiency may be resolved in a timeframe that would allow performance to be resumed prior to the end date of this contract. Notice may include notice by facsimile or email to Grantee’s representative. Grantee shall suspend performance on the date stated in the written notice to suspend. During the period of suspension of performance each party may inform the other of any conditions that may reasonably affect the potential for resumption of performance.

When DOH determines that the funding insufficiency is resolved, DOH may give Grantee written notice to resume performance and a proposed date to resume performance. Upon receipt of written notice to resume performance, Grantee will give written notice to DOH as to whether it can resume performance, and, if so, the date upon which it agrees to resume performance. If Grantee gives notice to DOH that it cannot resume performance, the parties agree that the Grant will be terminated retroactive to the original date of termination. If the date Grantee gives notice it can resume performance is not acceptable to DOH, the parties agree to discuss an alternative acceptable date. If an alternative date is not acceptable to DOH, the parties agree that the Grant will be terminated retroactive to the original date of termination.

12. TERMINATION FOR FRAUD OR MISREPRESENTATION DISINCENTIVE

In the event the Grantee commits fraud or makes any misrepresentation in connection with the Grant application or during the performance of this Grant, DOH reserves the right to terminate or amend this Grant accordingly, including the right to recapture all funds disbursed to the Grantee under the Grant.

The purpose of a bidders list is to provide the recipient and entities receiving identified grants who conduct competitive bidding with as accurate a database as possible about the universe of DBE and non-DBE prime and subcontractors. The list must include all firms that bid or quote on prime contracts, or bid or quote subcontracts on Environmental Protection Agency assisted projects, including both DBE and non-DBE.

25. RISK ASSESSMENT “Risk Assessment” shall mean (2 CFR 200.331(b)) DOH is required to evaluate each sub-recipient's

risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the sub-award for purposes of determining the appropriate sub-recipient monitoring described in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section, which may include consideration of such factors as:

A. The sub-recipient's prior experience with the same or similar sub-awards; B. The results of previous audits including whether or not the sub-recipient receives a Single

Audit in accordance with Subpart F—Audit Requirements of this part, and the extent to which the same or similar sub-award has been audited as a major program;

C. Whether the sub-recipient has new personnel or new or substantially changed systems; and D. The extent and results of Federal awarding agency monitoring (e.g., if the sub-recipient also

receives Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding agency). 26. REGISTRATION WITH CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (CCR)

By signing this Contract, the Grantee accepts the requirements stated in 48 CFR 52.204-7 to register with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database at the System for Awards Management (SAM) website.

53. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE / SUSPENSION DISINCENTIVE

In event DOH determines that the Grantee failed to comply with any term or condition of this Grant, DOH may terminate the Grant in whole or in part upon written notice to the Grantee. Such termination shall be deemed “for cause.” Termination shall take effect on the date specified in the notice.

During the corrective-action time period, DOH may suspend further payment to the Grantee in whole or in part, or may restrict the Grantee’s right to perform duties under this Grant. Failure by the Grantee to take timely corrective action shall allow DOH to terminate the Grant upon written notice to the Grantee.

“Termination for Cause” shall be deemed a “Termination for Convenience” when DOH determines that the Grantee did not fail to comply with the terms of the Grant or when DOH determines the failure was not caused by the Grantee’s actions or negligence.

If the Grant is terminated for cause, the Grantee shall be liable for damages as authorized by law, including, but not limited to, any cost difference between the original Grant and the replacement Grant, as well as all costs associated with entering into the replacement Grant (i.e., competitive bidding, mailing, advertising, and staff time).

The rights and remedies of DOH under this section are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided under this Grant or otherwise provided under law.

Section 1352 also requires that each person who requests or receives a Federal grant or cooperative agreement must disclose lobbying undertaken with non-Federal (nonappropriated) funds. These requirements apply to grants and cooperative agreements EXCEEDING $100,000 in total costs (45 CFR Part 93). The undersigned (authorized official signing for the contracting organization) certifies, to the best of his or her knowledge and belief, that: A. No Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of the

undersigned, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any Federal contract, the making of any Federal grant, the making of any Federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement.

B. If any funds other than Federally appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure of Lobbying Activities," in accordance with its instructions. (If needed, Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure of Lobbying Activities," its instructions, and continuation sheet are included at the end of this application form.)

C. The undersigned shall require that the language of this certification be included in the award documents for all subcontracts at all tiers (including subcontracts, subcontracts, and contracts under grants, loans and cooperative agreements) and that all subrecipients shall certify and disclose accordingly.

This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by Section 1352, U.S. Code. Any person who fails to file the required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each such failure.

Page 174/218

5. CERTIFICATION REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL TOBACCO SMOKE

Public Law 103-227, also known as the Pro-Children Act of 1994 (Act), requires that smoking not be permitted in any portion of any indoor facility owned or leased or contracted for by an entity and used routinely or regularly for the provision of health, day care, early childhood development services, education or library services to children under the age of 18, if the services are funded by Federal programs either directly or through State or local governments, by Federal grant, contract, loan, or loan guarantee. The law also applies to children’s services that are provided in indoor facilities that are constructed, operated, or maintained with such Federal funds. The law does not apply to children’s services provided in private residence, portions of facilities used for inpatient drug or alcohol treatment, service providers whose sole source of applicable Federal funds is Medicare or Medicaid, or facilities where WIC coupons are redeemed. Failure to comply with the provisions of the law may result in the imposition of a civil monetary penalty of up to $1,000 for each violation and/or the imposition of an administrative compliance order on the responsible entity. By signing the certification, the undersigned certifies that the contracting organization will comply with the requirements of the Act and will not allow smoking within any portion of any indoor facility used for the provision of services for children as defined by the Act. The contracting organization agrees that it will require that the language of this certification be included in any subcontracts which contain provisions for children’s services and that all subrecipients shall certify accordingly. The Public Health Services strongly encourages all recipients to provide a smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use of tobacco products. This is consistent with the PHS mission to protect and advance the physical and mental health of the American people.
