THE CHAIR ANNOUNCED THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE WELCOME TO SPEAK TO THE BOARD ON ANY AGENDA SUBJECT OR ON ANY OTHER SUBJECT NOW, OR AT THE END OF THE MEETING.
BWL employee Joe Davis, President of IBEW Local 352, commented on the status of union negotiations. After an unsuccessful mediation, the union filed a petition for Fact Finding to listen to both sides of the issue. Mr. Davis stated that as each day passes, it becomes more important for the union and management to have some kind of dialogue to resolve the stalled negotiations and find common ground. He noted that each day the labor agreement is unresolved, it is detrimental to the well-being and mental health of those employees who are involved. Mr. Davis wished Commissioner Marin the very best as she relocates to Texas.
Letter received from Commissioner
Connie Marin announcing her resignation as Commissioner of the Board of Water
and Light effective March 31, 2004 because she is retiring from Ingham Regional
Medical Hospital. Commissioner Marin
plans to return to her home state of Texas.
Received with regret and placed on
file.

Basic assumptions include normal weather, trended ten-year growth rates,

capacity not sold at retail is sold at wholesale.
Following discussion, the Committee consented with the fundamental FY 2005
financial plan assumptions presented.
Financial Report. Mr. McFarland reviewed the BWL’s financial performance for fiscal year-to-date through January 2004. For the six months into this fiscal year, BWL revenues are up 1% compared to budget, while expenses are on budget. Consequently, net income at $10.6 million is 13% ahead of budget. Electric sales were higher due to wholesale sales; water sales were down due to cool weather last summer. Steam sales were up slightly due to weather. Chilled water sales are down. He pointed out that the 8% variance in the budgeted operating income was due to the August 14th blackout, premium sharing on health insurance, which has yet to occur, and timing issues involving the conversion of Erickson Station to Western Coal and the Electric Energy Cost Adjustment. Certain factors reflect timing and actual performance is expected to be close to budget with planned expenditures and unit down time as the fiscal year ends.
BWL Sole Source Report. General Manager Novick reported that he wants to ensure the Board is receiving relevant information from the Sole Source Report to accomplish its oversight responsibilities. He noted that prior to July 2003, the purchasing policy required reporting purchases equal to or greater than $15,000. The new purchasing policy contains emphasis on the requirement for competitive bidding for purchases over $5,000. He suggested evaluating the lower $5,000 threshold to determine if it should be increased or if there is a better way to summarize the documentation to assure purchasing procedures are being followed and that the report is more meaningful to the Board. Mr. Novick suggested continuing with the current Sole Source Report requirement while staff explores other appropriate reporting mechanisms. A recommendation will be brought to the Committee in the future for review and input. The Committee emphasized the importance of having proper internal controls and an appropriate reporting mechanism that is understandable to assure procedures are being followed.
Inter-Utility Transfers. Mr. Novick and Mr. McFarland stated that to ensure present accounting and planning processes comply with past actions taken by the Board and current Board preferences, the issue of inter-utility transfers needs to be clarified. Board Resolution 2003-4-1 on Inter-Utility Transfers, approved April 8, 2003 has created an accounting issue that needs to be addressed. That resolution provided that all inter-utility transfers prior to FY 2004 be waived with two exceptions: (1.) existing formal inter-utility loans and interest-bearing notes and (2.) those associated with GM’s Lansing Grand River Plant incentive package. It further provided that the budget for each utility will be balanced at the start of the fiscal year with an interest-bearing note if needed.
They noted that the accounting process is best used to help identify and track business problems and not to fix business issues. The Committee was asked to clarify two questions: (1.) whether BWL has three or four utilities for financial reporting purposes starting with FY 2006 and (2.) whether formal promissory notes are required for existing and future inter-utility transfers.
Overhead Cost Methodology. Mr. McFarland reported that the Overhead Cost Methodology approved by the Board on July 22, 2003 (Resolution 2003-7-14) does not appropriately reflect certain items such as general facilities and management salaries. Moreover, he stated that the related allocation factors do not appropriately reflect the four-utility structure. He recommended a review of the overhead methodology to adjust it to a more appropriate accounting practice. Mr. Novick noted that accounting issues such as overheads and allocation factors generally should not require Board approval.
Following discussion, the Committee requested the following for consideration at the next regular meeting:
City Request for Additional Dollars. General Manager Novick reported that he has been meeting with various city officials and Council Members to talk about the BWL’s financial obligations to the City of Lansing and the citizens of Lansing. The purpose for these discussions is to clarify a confusion that exists about the equity ownership of the BWL. As with a private company, the equity of the company is owned by the owners of the company. Essentially, only the owner of a company can sell the company, by City Charter, only the citizens of Lansing can sell the BWL. Consequently, the citizens of Lansing own the BWL and its equity. The Board, as the citizens’ agent, manages the citizens’ equity investment. Mr. Novick noted that he has met with City officials to discuss the City’s fiscal dilemma during the past couple of weeks.
Update on Proposals for Ottawa Station.
General Manager Novick reported that the City has put forth a draft
proposal for an Ottawa Station development feasibility study. He introduced discussion as to whether there
is interest by the Board of becoming involved in the development business. Following input, the sense of the Committee
was for the BWL to focus its efforts on providing reliable utility services at
a reasonable price. The BWL should work
with the City by retaining the services of someone who would be interested in
marketing the development of the Ottawa Station with the right combination of
uses, people and financing or pursue any other option that keeps the BWL out of
the development business but finds a party to develop Ottawa Station.

Board.
Action: Carried unanimously.
Tributes Offered by Mayor Tony Benavides
Chairperson Callen welcomed Mayor Tony Benavides who appeared before the Board
to pay honor to Commissioners Marin and Royal.
Mayor Benavides presented certificates of recognition and a gift on
behalf of the citizens of Lansing for dedicated services to the City by serving
on the Board of Water and Light. He
expressed appreciation to both of these women for their courage and commitment
to this community.
General Manager Novick reported that staff presentations have been prepared to update the Board on the status of the Board of Water and Light’s (BWL) new Outage Management System, Erickson Western Coal Project, high-pressure turbine failure at Eckert Station, and the February Financial Report.
Outage Management System. William Cook, Senior Vice President of
Operations, introduced Tim Palmer, Manager of Electric Operations, who
described the Outage Management System (OMS).
This project involves the implementation of software to help better
manage and organize outage information.
It will allow the BWL to locate outages sooner and have better customer
responses. The OMS project is part of a continuing effort to improve customer
service, and specifically to improve the BWL’s response during storms and
outages. The system will allow for the
elimination of trouble call slips, a report that is printed for every customer
call-in when reporting no lights and wire down. The OMS will record all calls and will allow for caller input
from either a PC based system from the Customer Service Department, or directly
from our toll-free “Power Line” high-volume call answering service. A major feature of the OMS is an “outage
analysis” function. This function
determines the most probable location of the outage based on an algorithm that
groups calls on a circuit within a certain period of time. This will allow for faster determination of
crew dispatch locations. Crew
management is another feature of the OMS.
It allows for optimized crew routing, drag & drop crew assignments
on the system map, and a clear visual tracking of all crews for safety when
re-energizing outage areas. “What-If”
switching capabilities exist, along with actual circuit cutover processes that
include the recalculation of customers that are still without power or have
been restored, based on partial circuit restoration steps during an
outage. To make the system as usable to
the system dispatchers, all of the above functions and information can be
displayed on tabular screens within tables, or graphically on digital
maps. Post outage analysis reports will
be available that can assist in determining general outage causes, trending of
problem areas, and individual queries based on customer power complaints. Summarized outage information will be
available during an outage on individual PCs to upper management and executives
on the BWL’s Intranet that indicate the magnitude of the outage and the restoration
progress, again both graphically and in table form.
Update on Erickson Station.
Senior Vice President of Operations Bill Cook introduced Dan Flynn,
Principle Engineer in the Project Engineering Department to describe the
Erickson Western Coal Project. This is
the second largest project the BWL has had in the last 15-20 years. There have been several hundred people on
the Erickson site since the outage started the first part of February; the
plant has been down and is scheduled to be back on April 9th. This project resulted from the Board’s
approval of the BWL’s Nitrogen Oxides (
NOx) compliance Strategy in 2002. The
conversion of Erickson Station to burn Western Coal is the largest project in
this strategy and provides two major benefits: reducing NOx emissions to meet
Clean Air Act requirements and fuel cost savings of approximately $4 million
per year. Project goals are: on line
April 9, 2004 on 100% Western Coal, safely and efficiently operate at full
load, NOx emissions at 0.21 lbs/mmbtu or less, produce a saleable fly ash
product, and achieve projected fuel cost reductions. Mr. Flynn commented the project could not be completed without
the cooperation of nearly the entire BWL.
Specifically recognized were:
Erickson staff, Maintenance and Construction Resource Center, Electric
Production Engineering, Purchasing, and all of the Project Engineering Resource
Center; and in addition all of the contractors and craft labor. The project status was stated as: on time
for start-up April 9, 2004 and on budget at $25,725,000. Photographs of ongoing work were shown and
interesting facts as to the magnitude of the project were stated.
[Commissioner Robin Smith left the
meeting at 6:20 p.m.]
February Financial Report. Senior Vice President of Finance and
Administration Dennis McFarland presented the BWL’s financial statistics by
utility and performance for fiscal year-to-date through February, 2004. For the eight months into this fiscal year,
BWL revenues are 1% over budget, while expenses are at budgeted levels. Net income at $11.9 million is 2% ahead of
budget. Mr. McFarland identified major
items accounting for the variance between actual and budgeted net income, some
of which are related to timing issues that will reverse prior to the end of the
fiscal year. By fiscal year end, Mr.
McFarland anticipates that we will be slightly over budgeted net income
levels. A list of pending items which
may affect BWL’s net income and/or cash position between now and the end of the
fiscal year was presented. These items
included union contract settlement, sale of environmental emission allowances,
disposition of Ottawa Station and other items.
Eckert Station No. 2 Turbine Failure. Senior Vice President of Operations Bill Cook introduced Dick Peffley, Director of Production to give an update on the equipment failure of a high-pressure turbine at Eckert No. 2. Mr. Peffley reported that Eckert Station No. 2 turbine experienced a failure on February 19, 2004, just 13 days after coming out of a scheduled turbine overhaul. Three rows of blading, which had recently been installed by the original equipment manufacturer, appeared to have failed causing extensive damage to the turbine. Repairs are in the process of being completed and the unit should be back in operation sometime during the month of May. The estimated BWL cost for repairs only is between $300,000 and $600,000. This estimate does not include lost revenue or loss of potential capacity payments. This loss will also not meet the insurance deductible of $2 million.
Request for Topic Summaries
Commissioner Wonch requested, on behalf of Commissioner Smith who needed to leave earlier in the meeting, for summaries of the topic presentations to review at a later time.
COMMISSIONERS’ COMMENTS
Chairperson Callen congratulated Commissioner Haggart on his appointment as Chair Pro Tem, and thanked him for accepting the position through June 30, 2004.
EXCUSED ABSENCE
On motion by Commissioner Haggart and seconded by Commissioner Marin, that the absence of Commissioner Smith be excused. (Commissioner Smith left the meeting at 6:20 p.m.)
Carried unanimously.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
BWL employee Curt Gates, Business Manager for IBEW Local 352, extended a welcome to newly appointed Commissioner Gary Calkins. Mr. Gates made several comments about the stalled negotiations between management and the union. He stated that the union contract renewal is five months overdue; the union negotiating team has six team members, five of whom have multiple contract experience and one new member with no experience; the management team has two team members with negotiation experience; and the General Manager made it known that he did not like the contract from the beginning. Mr. Gates also spoke on the new safety incentive program. He believes that testing of bucket trucks is an issue that is not being addressed and is more crucial than just wearing safety glasses and hard hats. Mr. Gates also recognized Commissioner Royal for her invaluable contributions to the BWL. He thanked Commissioner Marin for the work she has done on committees and her sensitivity to employee issues. Mr. Gates acknowledged retiring Internal Auditor Kellie Willson, and noted that she is one of the most outstanding employees at the BWL and will be missed. Mr. Gates also inquired about the CSO (combined sewer overflow) project report that Commissioner Joseph requested at the January Board Meeting. General Manager Novick responded that staff committed to the Board that a report would be available at the May Board meeting, and he intends to live up to that commitment.
[Commissioner Calkins, participating by speakerphone, excused himself from the remainder of the meeting at 7:05 p.m.]
Moved by Commissioner Wonch, seconded by Commissioner Haggart, that the Board meet in closed session to consult with the attorney regarding trial or settlement strategy in connection with specific pending litigation, Pandy v. Lansing Board of Water and Light, because an open meeting would have a detrimental financial effect on the litigating or settlement position of the Board of Water and Light (7:07 p.m.).

No action was taken as the result of the closed session.
The Board met briefly with the Director of Metrics and Audits, Kellie Willson, to discuss transitional issues as the result of her retirement on March 31. 2004. Ms. Willson reported that she has left no incomplete projects or studies. She noted that a proposed job description and proposed schedule for filling the Internal Auditor position has been provided to Commissioner Haggart, Chair of the Human Resources Committee and Commissioner Duncan, Chair of the Finance Committee as a beginning point from which the Commissioners may feel free to make additions, changes or deletions. Ms. Willson stated that she will be available should there be any questions or concerns that may arise.
