Mr. Hill noted Capital Expenditures lhr the mo11th of November showed actual capital expenditures were $1.7 million with a budget of.$2.2 million.
Director's Report: Mr. Adair ttddresseLI the commission regard ing the status of the proposed solar projel:t. He no ted the location is set for just noJth of the Alutlvicw plant lo~ t ion. Mr. Adair reminded the commission bids were received in September, 2017. lie saitl sc:ven bids were received but only six were evaluated hccausc one hid was considered nonresponsive. Aids were evaluated by FEU:-l statl: COF personnel and consulting staff from NewGen Strategies and Solutions. Mr. Adair said following the completion of lhe biLl evaluation process, a recommendation was made to the City Council to begin negotiations with the bidder that placed highest in the evaluarion process.
Mr. Adair said he would like to bring information about the bitl negotiation process and ask fur a recommendation from the Commission regarding tile direction to take with this negotiation process at the February 14, 20 '11! meeting. The City Council would like to visit this topic at the February 27, 201 S City Council mct:ting.
Commissioner Hunter asked if there wa.~ no community solar subscription would the city be willing to proceed with the installation of a solar project.
Mr. Adair said the llU' does recommend the installation of 5MW of solar. This allows the utility to enter the solar arena and a community solar subscription option could be offered to customers.
Vice-Chair Parkt:s asked when details related to costs and operating costs will he shared with the commission. Mr. Adair stated he is scheduling one on one meetings for those commissionc::rs able to attend to review the costs, pricing, optionality and which diredion is best to present to the City Council.
Vice-chair Parkes expressed concern about the short amountuf time allowed to make a decision about this solar generation. Mr. Adair said the City Council has suggested the February 27,2018 timeline but an extension of this lime frame for approval can be discus.-;ed.
Commissioner Glass asked Mr. Adair to review briefly \.vhy the utility i.~ moving forward with a solar project.
Mr. ALl air said that within the IHP interest was expressed to add solar to the FEUS generation pnrttillio and the utility has been looking al community solar for some time. The Commission and the City Cuunl:il has upproved a solar project in past hudgcts but the opportunity never come to fruition. Mr. Adair noted the cost lu have a solar project has come down noting the cost is as low as it has ever been. Mr. Adair said the key is to get the right price point and then get the community solar piece for an additional choice to the customer.
Commissioner G lass asked what would be done with the generated pow~r if il was not subscribed to. Mr. Adair !'>aid if this power is not subscribed and it is done purely as a utility solar proj~t, then the power is purChllsed as a utility as part ofthc Pl' A. If it is unsubscribed it merely becomes a part of the purcha.~e power portfolio.
Commissioner Glass rem inded the commission and the utility and the City Council that it appea rs money is already heing spent stllrt ing this proces.> llDd approximately I 00 citi7.cns who live in Farmington invested in solar power and were rightfully gnmdfathered in under the tariff they were promised hut the decision was made th1tl it would no longer be viable for local people to invest in solar because solar producers were being subsidized. lie said he assumes there are lax credits related co providing solar and he <L~sumes the city would nul receive those tax credits. Mr. Adair said ifthe project is done as a purchase power agreement, the tax c redits could be monetized within the agreement.
Commissioner Glass emphasized tha t the d isagreement with community members investing their own money in producing solar power was considered a s ubsidy to those people and it feels in ~ome wuys residential solar users are at risk of subsidizing FEUS to produce solar energy. Commissioner Glass also stated that if th is project is to have something to show then he feels it is a hit hollow because there are people in this community who were interested, and are interested, in solar. He said the way the rate structure has been redesigned, the option for people to invest in solar hus been taken away and FE!JS customers are now going to puy money ton company in another state to build and service this pr~ject for which the people in foarm ington were willing lo spend their own m oney. Commissioner Glass said the whole idea of subsidy is really hi~ question going forward because FEUS customers llre suhsiui:~:ing FEUS's negotiating and developing of bids and very quickly what will he diswvered is the amount of money rnus spent in this process probably would take cart oflhe subsidy of 100 people for several years.
Mr. Adair responded ti.J.at even with tltc stand by rate, again that is the lines and infras tructure dtat supplies power, there continues tn be a lol of interest in solar installationlllld EEUS has had a significant number of res ident in! and commercial customers install solar since the rate approval. He said the solar choice continues lo require the use of the intrnstructure lbr those limes when the sun is not pro\'iding power.
Mr. Adair also noted the subsidization is the cost ditlcrenee between if the price is higher in the solar bids than what can be bought on the market.
Commissioner Uhl commented that municipal uti lities ure not mandated to install so lar facilities. Mr. Adair confirmed this comment.
C hair Spence said he anticipates tile next meeting could be lengthy and suggests additional time be added to next month's agenda.
Commissioner Cloer suggested it might be wise to project out five years about how the cos ts may change depending on the number of subscriptions.
Vice-Chair l'arkes stated he would benefit from having the thoughts and perspectives of others to become more educated.
Mr. Adair sugg~sted a recommendation to set trp information sessions with commissioners as representatives for their constituents and have discussions regarding what m ight be seen for public input between those time fi·amcs.
Chair Spence asked if any comm issioner wanted to make such a motion. Commissioner Tluntc r made moved that the commission follow the pmcess outlined by Mr. Adair in dtat Mr. Adair will engage in dialoj,rtre with any commissione.r desiring such and Mr. Adair would bring a recommendation to the Commission as to what process needs tu be brought. Commissioner Cloer seconded the mution and upon voice vote the motion passed unanimously.
Regarding other genera tion, the Navajo Hydro plant will be down the IUOllth otTchruary to complete maintenance repair work.
Mr. Adair said the bids received from the RPQ tor the Owner's Engineer for the reciprocating engines project were received and will go through the evaluation process in coming days.
Mr. Adair said the Oureau of Reclamation Pumping Project, six miles of line to provide power to pumping stations, is on target for completion in April as requested by the Bureau.
Mr. Adair stated FEUS crews were participating through the APPA to provide mutual uide assi:;tance to the US Virgin Islands as the island continues to rebuild following the recent hurricane season. Details for this opportunity continue to be fluid and ifthis opportunity does not come to lhtitiun FEUS will continue to be on the Al'l'A list for willingne:;s to provide mutual aid assistance.
Mr. Adair informed the Commission that Rodney Romero, Deputy Electric Utility Director, will be retiring within the next few days. Mr. Romero took a few minutes to visit with the commission and thank them for their support during his career with the utility.
Commissioner Hunter made a motion that the Couunission affirm and express appreciation f(>r Rodney Romero's 28 years of service t·o the city and the utility. Commissioner Jolmson seconded this motion and upon voice vote the motion passed unanimously.

PUC ACTION ITEM REQUEST FARMINGTON ELECTRIC
p DATE: February 8, 2018 DEPARTMENT: Electric Utility
MEETING DATE: February 14, 2018
1. ITEM/TOPIC: Proposed Installation of a Solar Project as an additional generation source as noted in the Integrated Resource Plan.
2. ACTION REQUESTED OF PUC: Staff requests Public Utility Commission's recommendation to City Council to instruct staff to continue/not continue negotiations with finalist vendor of the Solar Project using one of the following options:
A) Installation of maximum size (11 OOkW) solar project B) Installation of medium size (500kW) solar project C) No solar installation
3. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: Within the IRP interest was expressed to add solar to the FEUS generation portfolio and the utility has been looking at community solar for some time. The Commission and the City Council has approved a solar project in past budgets but due to cost restraints the opportunity never come to fruition. The cost to have a solar project has come down to a point that it may be financially feasible to add solar to the FEUS generation portfolio.
4. INSTRUCTIONS UPON RESULTS OF PUC VOTE: Instruct staff to conununicate the vote of the Public Utility Commission to the City Council for its deliberation regarding the proposal installation of a Solar Project.
