4. Approve Financial Statements
GM Carter reviewed the 2020 Load Duration Curve Contract Graph that was handed

the year, which is done on a yearly basis. Conversations were held on the amount
of load that is locked up into contracts.

GM Carter reviewed the Financial statements. Overall financially, combined
divisions for 2020 sitting well. 2020 total revenues include the 1-time MRES refund
of $1.2M and insurance proceeds of $363K, totaling $1.6M bringing the total 2020
revenues to $3.4M. Without the $1.6M, revenues for 2020 would be just below the
2019 revenues of $2.2M.
GM Carter compared 2020 Sales for Resale on electric side to 2019. Market prices
were low and it did not pay for HUC to generate. Purchase Power came in
significantly below budget, biggest contributor was market purchases. Budget for
market purchases was $1.6M but only spending $923K, bringing HUC $740K below
budget on buying power. HUC's purchase price on average for 2020 on market
purchases was $18.27, in 2019 average price was $26. This gives the Commission
an indication of where some of these market prices are going. There are more
renewables; more wind in the market. Also, for 2020, natural gas prices were down
and with things being shut down for 3,4,5 months there was more of a supply than
demand. Flip side, HUC lost revenue by not having to increase power cost
adjustment to cover costs. Transmission costs and loads were down. Generated
fuel down, operating expenses were down due to the pandemic; no training or
outside services were done. GM Carter reviewed the Natural Gas Division, fairly
consistent throughout 2020. HUC never did make up the consumption from 2019
when it fell 6% below billable sales. Purchase gas was down. Overall very strong
financials. Mr. Martig did run the Outstanding Accounts Receivable Aging Report
for 2020 since HUC is still not shutting off services or charging fees. The report
shows HUC is only up 10% in 2020 at $112K compared to 2019 at $98K; which is
significantly better than other utilities. Conversations were held on how long the
policy of not shutting off or charging fees will last, which is unknown at this time. GM
Carter stated overall another good year from an Income Statement/PNL/Balance
Sheet standpoint, trending positive.
Motion by Commissioner Cheney, second by Commissioner Wendorff to approve
the financial statements. Motion carried unanimously.

pump seal in the water tower went bad. Now Staff is waiting for the seal
to come in before running Unit 7. Once units have 1000 hours Staff will
sign off and warranty starts. Depreciation will start this year.

8. Unfinished Business
9. New Business
a. Approve Requisition #8631 — 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis
GM Carter presented Requisition #8631 — 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis.
This is a CIP item. When a service person was added in the Natural Gas Division
a vehicle is now needed. This cab and chassis did come in lower than what was
budgeted.
Motion by Commissioner Hanson, second by Commissioner Cheney to Approve
Requisition #8631 — 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis. Motion carried
unanimously
b. Approve Requisition #8635 — Utility Service Body for 2021 Service Vehicle
GM Carter presented Requisition #8635 — Utility Service Body for 2021 Service
Vehicle. This is the 2nd half of the above truck.
Motion by Commissioner Cheney, second by Commissioner Wendorff to Approve
Requisition #8635 — Utility Service Body for 2021 Service Vehicle. Motion carried
unanimously.
3
c. Approve Requisition #8632 — RDO Veermeer Directional Drill
GM Carter presented Requisition #8632 — RDO Veermeer Directional Drill. In
2014, HUC purchased a Vermeer Directional Drill along with a trailer, mixer and
water tank. This is HUC's main piece of equipment for installing Electric and
Natural Gas services, averaging 17,000 boring feet per year. Staff has
determined the trailer, mixer, and water tank has operating life and does not need
to be replaced at this time. Therefore, Staff is requesting to only replace the drill
itself along with drill rods and adapters. HUC will receive $53K in trade value for
the 2014 Vermeer Drill.
A motion by Commissioner Cheney, second by Commissioner Hanson to
Approve Requisition #8632 — RDO Veermeer Directional Drill. Motion carried
unanimously.
d. Approve Requisition #8636 — CEM Equipment
GM Carter presented Requisition #8636 — CEM Equipment. The operating permit
for Unit 1 gas turbine requires Staff to perform continuous emissions monitoring.
The continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) currently has a data logger
to gather and store the emission information for reporting to EPA/MPCA. The
existing data logger is operated in conjunction with software from a company
called VIM. VIM has notified HUC the software will no longer be supported.
Besides the data logger, Data Acquisition Handling System (DAHS) is another
option that can be used to accomplish data acquisition. This type of system is
used almost exclusively in emission data collection systems in the industry. This
is a CIP item that was budgeted and did come in under budget.
A motion by Commissioner Hanson, second by Commissioner Wendorff to
Approve Requisition #8636 — CEM Equipment. Motion carried unanimously.
e. Approve Requisition #8638- CE Power Plant 2 Transformer Pad December
Progress Billing.
GM Carter presented Requisition #8638- CE Power Plant 2 Transformer Pad
December Progress Billing. Excavating is done and pads are now complete.
A motion by Commissioner Wendorff, second by Commissioner Cheney to
Approve Requisition #8638 - CE Power Plant 2 Transformer Pad December
Progress Billing. Motion carried unanimously.
12
f. Approve Awarding the Bid — Interactive Photovoltaic System
GM Carter presented the Interactive Photovoltaic System. GM Carter recapped
the conversations that were held at the January 13, 2021 special meeting. At that
time discussions were held on the bid proposals, size of array options and
cost/kwhr of the various bid proposals. Based on those discussions, if the
Commission would like to continue to move forward with a utility scale solar array,
Staff is recommending awarding the bid to Ziegler Power Systems for their
766KW CD solar array at a total installed cost of #976,967.00. Ziegler Power
Systems overall is the lowest project cost, is the most competitive project based
on cost/kwhr, does not fill the whole area but can be added to in the future and
does not affect the easements.
After discussions, a motion by Commissioner Cheney, second by Commissioner
Hanson to Approve Awarding the Bid — Interactive Photovoltaic System to Ziegler
Power Systems. Motion carried unanimously.
g. Approve Designating $1 M in the Catastrophic Fund
GM Carter presented Designating $1M in the Catastrophic Fund. Beginning 2021,
HUC changed Boiler & Machinery insurance carriers from XL to Hartford. With the
change, the maximum deductible limit HUC could incur is now set at $1 M. This is
an increase in the deductible limit on the LM6000 at Plant 2 of $500K. As part of the
increased risk exposure and HUC having to self -fund a major failure on the LM6000
at plant 2, HUC recommends the Commission increase the designation in the
catastrophic fund from $500K to $1 M. The Commission has the discretion to readjust
the designation at any time.
A motion by Commissioner Hanson, second by Commissioner Wendorff to
Approve increasing the Catastrophic Reserve Fund to $1 M. Motion carried
unanimously.
Discussion was held on insurance; does Staff see more competition -carriers
coming in the future. Something for the Commission to think about is to hire an
engineering firm to do a risk assessment, an overall scope of the entire facility
and only insure a few items; which could reduce the premiums. Essentially HUC
would self -insure. This topic of having a study/thought process to possibly self -
insure should be put on a list for discussion in 2021.
h. Approve Amended Agreement with the City of Brownton for Meter Reading
Services
GM Carter presented the Amended Agreement with the City of Brownton for
Meter Reading Services. This is an amended agreement to now include reading
5
the water meters.
A motion by Commissioner Wendorff, second by Commissioner Cheney to
approve Amended Agreement with the City of Brownton for Meter Reading
Services. Motion carried unanimously.
10. Adjourn
There being no further business, a motion by Commissioner Hanson, second by
Commissioner Cheney to adjourn the meeting at 3:58p.m. Motion carried
unanimously.

over budget in this category all year because we budgeted for a half year of depreciation but during the audit we decided to capitalize them at the end of
2020

Agenda Item: Review Policies
Jeremv Carter
Review Policies
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
es
As part of HUC's standard operating procedures, a continual policy review is practiced.
This month, the following policies were reviewed and no changes are recommended on
these policies at this time:
Section 2 of Exempt Handbook
Section 2 of Non -Exempt Handbook
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
None
EXEMPT
SECTION 2 — ADMINISTRATION OF PERSONNEL POLICIES
The Commission approves personnel policies intending uniform administration of personnel
matters of the Utilities. The Commission may supplement, amend and/or rescind the policies to
assure that they will remain practical, useful and current. In approving personnel policies, the
Commission has made every effort to be as reasonable and practical as possible.
Final responsibility for the enforcement of the policies shall rest with the Commission. The
Commission however, has delegated to the General Manager the responsibility and authority for
the enforcement of all personnel policies. The General Manager, in turn, delegates certain
responsibilities and authority to the Staff as deemed advisable in order to carry out the personnel
policies. The General Manager, however, remains accountable to the Commission. If the
Commission has not clearly delegated its authority in a certain manner, the Commission retains
authority to determine the appropriate action.
These personnel policies govern all Utilities employees and apply to all cases except where a
policy contained herein conflicts with a Union Contract, or other employment contract, or past
practice, in which case the Union Contract, or other employment contract, or past practice shall
govern.
SAVINGS CLAUSE
If any provision of this Handbook is declared by proper legislative, administrative or judicial
authority to be unlawful, unenforceable or not in accordance with applicable Civil Service rules,
or law, all other provisions of this Handbook shall remain in full force and effect for the duration
of this Handbook.
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
HUC is committed to providing equal opportunity in all areas of employment, including, but not
limited to recruitment, hiring, demotion, promotion, transfer, recruitment, selection, lay-off,
disciplinary action, termination, compensation and selection for training. In accordance with
Minnesota State Statute 363A, HUC will not discriminate against any employee or job applicant
on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation,
disability, age, marital status, genetic information, status with regard to public assistance, veteran
status, familial status, or local human rights commission activity.
HIRING
It is the Commission's policy to hire qualified applicants through internal employee promotion
and external recruitment if appropriate.
The General Manager has the authority to hire all employees and must approve all hiring
recommendations. Final interviews for the General Manager position will be conducted by the
Commissioner Board with the assistance of the Human Resources Director. Final interviews for
Director positions will be conducted by the General Manager, President of the Commission and
Human Resources Director.
PROBATIONARY PERIOD UPON HIRING
A newly hired exempt employee shall serve a nine (9) month probationary period during which
the employee shall have the opportunity to demonstrate abilities and work performance. During
this qualifying period, the Director, Manager or Supervisor should discuss with the employee, the
employee's progress in becoming fully acquainted with the job and co-workers. The General
Manager can terminate a probationary employee's employment without notice and without cause
at any time during the probationary period. The General Manager may choose to extend an
employee's probation period up to a maximum of three months.
New full-time employees are required to sign the acknowledgement in Appendix B when they
begin employment.
TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES
Temporary employees are required to sign the acknowledgement in Appendix C when they begin
employment. The General Manager must approve employment of a temporary worker for longer
than 14 consecutive weeks. The responsible Director or Manager must inform the General
Manager of the desire to employ a temporary worker longer than 14 weeks.
PROMOTIONS AND TRANSFERS
HUC encourages individual advancement by providing opportunities for promotion and transfer
as positions become available. Job vacancies shall be posted ten (10) working days. Employees
desiring to be considered for the position must provide a letter of interest to the appropriate staff
person by the deadline stated on the posting.
All promoted and transferred employees shall serve a six (6) month trial period during which time
the promoted or transferred employee may be placed back in the employee's previous job
classification if a position is available and at the sole discretion of the Employer, without loss of
seniority.
We encourage employees to discuss their career plans and goals with their Director or Manager.
LAYOFFS
HUC retains its right to eliminate positions within the organization if the Commission deems it
appropriate to do so. If a layoff occurs, RUC will provide four weeks' notice to affected
employees. Layoffs will be based on skill, knowledge, utility needs and also employee's seniority.
VOLUNTARY LEAVE OF ABSENCE
HUC may request employees to voluntarily take a leave of absence without pay for a specified
period of time.
EMPLOYMENT OF RELATIVES
No applicant or employee shall receive preferential consideration because of his/her relationship
to an HUC employee, a Commission member, a Hutchinson City Council member or other City
employees and officials. Any HUC employee who extends such preferential treatment is subject
to discipline.
Immediate family members may be employed by HUC provided there is no direct report
relationship.
No member of the immediate family of the General Manager or of a current member of the
Commission may be employed by HUC.
A former Commission member may not be hired as an employee of HUC for two years after the
end of the Commissioner's term in office.
MEMBERSHIP/DUES/CONVENTIONS
Employees are encouraged to join and participate in professional and technical associations, which
are expected to enhance job performance. HUC will pay the association dues if membership relates
directly to an employee's job with HUC. The appropriate Staff Personnel must approve payment
of membership dues.
The General Manager must approve attendance at association meetings and/or conventions.
Attendance shall be limited to one major conference per year. This limitation does not apply to
workshops, seminars and courses, which HUC directs employees to attend. HUC will pay the
attendance fee for pre -approved meetings and expenses incurred.
DATA PRACTICES ADVISORY
Employee records are maintained by Human Resources (or the Administrative Coordinator).
Personnel data is retained in personnel files, finance files, and benefit/medical files. Information
is used to administer employee salary and benefit programs, process payroll, complete state and
federal reports, document employee performance, etc.
Employees have the right to know what data is retained, where it is kept, and how it is used. All
employee data will be received, retained, and disseminated according to the Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act.
Media Requests: All HUC employees have a responsibility to help communicate accurate and
timely information to the public in a professional manner. Requests for private data or information
outside of the scope of an individual's job duties should be routed to the appropriate department.
Any employee who identifies a mistake in reporting should bring the error to the General Manager
or other appropriate staff. Regardless of whether the communication is in the employee's official
utilities role or in a personal capacity, employees must comply with all laws related to trademark,
copyright, software use, etc.
With the exception of routine events and basic information that is readily available to the public,
all requests for interviews or information from the media are to be routed through the General
Manager. No HUC employee is authorized to speak on behalf of HUC without prior authorization
from the General Manager or his designee. Media requests include anything intended to be
published or viewable to others in some form such as television, radio, newspapers, newsletters,
social media sites, and web sites. When responding to media requests, employees should follow
these steps:
1. If the request is for routine or public information (such as a meeting time or agenda)
provide the information and notify the General Manager of the request.
2. If the request is regarding information about HUC personnel, potential litigation,
controversial issues, an opinion on a HUC matter, or if an employee is unsure if the
request is a "routine" question, forward the request to the General Manager. An
appropriate response would be "I'm sorry, I don't have the full information regarding
that issue. Let me take some basic information and submit your request to the
appropriate person who will get back to you as soon as he/she can." Then ask the media
representative's name, questions, deadline and contact information.
All news releases concerning HUC personnel will be the responsibility of the General Manager.
When/if the General Manager authorizes a staff person to communicate on behalf of HUC in
interviews, publications, news releases, on social media sites, and related communications,
employees must:
✓ Identify themselves as representing HUC. Account names on social media sites must be
clearly connected to HUC and approved by the General Manager.
✓ All information must be respectful, professional and truthful. Corrections must be issued
when needed.
✓ Personal opinions generally don't belong in official statements. One exception is
communications related to promoting a service.
✓ Employees need to notify the General Manager if they will be using their personal
technology (cell phones, home computer, cameras, etc.) for HUC business. Employees
should be aware that the data transmitted or stored may be subject to the Data Practices
Act.
It is important for HUC employees to remember that the personal communications of employees
may reflect on HUC, especially if employees are commenting on HUC business. The following
guidelines apply to personal communications including various forms such as social media
(Facebook, Twitter, blogs, YouTube, etc.), letters to the editor of newspapers, and personal
endorsements.
✓ Remember that what you write is public, and will be so for a long time. It may also be
spread to large audiences. Use common sense when using email or social media sites. It
is a good idea to refrain from sending or posting information that you would not want your
boss or other employees to read, or that you would be embarrassed to see in the newspaper.
✓ HUC expects its employees to be truthful, courteous and respectful towards supervisors,
co-workers, citizens, customers and other persons associated with HUC. Do not engage in
name-calling or personal attacks.
✓ If you publicize something related to HUC business, identify yourself and use a disclaimer
such as, "I am an employee of HUC. However, these are my own opinions and do not
represent those of HUC."
✓ HUC resources, working time, or official positions cannot be used for personal profit or
business interests, or to participate in personal political activity.
✓ Personal social media account name or email names should not be tied to HUC.
COMPLAINT/GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
It is the Commission's policy to provide an equitable process which employees may use to advance
complaints and grievances. An employee may grieve any alleged violation of a written or verbal
policy or procedure, disciplinary action other than an oral reprimand, or unsafe practice.
Prior to initiating a grievance, an employee must discuss the complaint with the immediate
Supervisor. If the complaint cannot be resolved informally through such discussion with the
Director, Manager or Supervisor, the employee may choose to file a written grievance. The
grievance must be filed with the Human Resources Director within ten (10) working days after the
incident -giving rise to the grievance. The Human Resources Director shall attempt to resolve the
grievance and shall provide the employee a written response no later than five (5) working days
following receipt of the grievance. If the employee is dissatisfied with the Human Resource
Director's response, the employee may file the grievance with the General Manager within five
(5) days of the Human Resource Director's response. The General Manager shall attempt to resolve
the complaint or grievance and shall provide the employee a written response not later than five
(5) days following the receipt of the complaint.
If dissatisfied with the General Manager's response, the employee may request a hearing on the
grievance before the Hutchinson Utilities Commission. The Hutchinson Utilities Commission may
choose to appoint an independent hearing officer to hear the grievance.
An employee presenting a complaint or grievance shall not be subject to retaliation or reprisal.
EMPLOYEE CONDUCT
All HUC employees are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that creates a work
environment enabling employees to work effectively and to promote positive customer relations.
HUC employees are required to adhere to the following standards of conduct while on the job.
• To behave in a courteous, business -like manner and to comply with HUC policies and work
rules.
• Refrain from any and all action, which may be detrimental to the safety or work of other
employees or to the goals of HUC.
• To communicate openly and honestly with management, other employees, and the public.
• To share responsibility for personal development and growth.
• To continually strive for excellence in work product and habits.
DISCIPLINE
In general, HUC employees shall be subject to disciplinary action for failing to fulfill their duties
and responsibilities, including observance of work rules approved by the Commission. It is the
policy of the Commission to administer discipline fairly, without discrimination, and for just cause.
The employee may use the grievance procedure with respect to any disciplinary action believed to
be unjust or disproportionate to the alleged offense. The General Manager, Director or Manager
shall investigate any allegation on which disciplinary action might be based before disciplinary
action is taken.
The Commission supports the concept of progressive discipline but expressly reserves the right to
impose various levels of discipline depending on the nature of the offense.
Staff Personnel may impose oral and written reprimands. Only the General Manager may impose
a suspension without pay, letter in lieu of suspension, demotion, or discharge.
Notices of oral reprimand, written reprimand, suspension without pay, demotion, or discharge will
be documented in written form and will state the reason(s) for the action taken. The employee shall
be provided with a copy of each such notice and a copy shall be retained in the employee's
personnel file.
The following are examples of disciplinary action but do not constitute an exclusive list of
possibilities and may be taken in any order or not used at all. These examples and their descriptions
are not intended to create a contract or obligation on management's part.
A Oral reprimand. An oral notice advising an employee of inappropriate conduct and
expected corrective action.
B Written reprimand. A written notice advising an employee of inappropriate conduct. A
written reprimand should describe in detail the behavior to be corrected, describe past
actions taken by the supervisor to correct the problem, give direction and orders for the
future including timetables and goals for improvement when appropriate, and specify
consequences of repeating the inappropriate behavior. The employee will be given a copy
of the reprimand and sign the original acknowledging receipt of the reprimand. The
signature of the employee does not signify agreement with the reprimand. The reprimand
will be placed in the employee's personnel file.
C Prior to the suspension or as soon after as possible, the employee will be notified in writing
of the reason for the suspension and its length.
There are two forms of suspension: suspension as discipline and suspension pending
investigation. An employee receiving a suspension as discipline may not be paid, may not
accrue vacation, holiday or sick leave benefits during the suspension, and may not use paid
time while suspended. An employee suspended pending investigation of allegations will
have a copy of each written statement placed in the personnel file and will be paid during
the investigation. If the allegations prove false, the statement will be removed. An
employee placed on investigatory suspension should be notified as quickly as reasonably
possible of the action taken regarding employment.
D Demotion. Placement of an employee in a lower level position.
E Discharge. The General Manager may discharge any employee, but if the employee has
completed the probationary period, a dismissal will be made only for just cause. A
dismissed employee will be notified by the previous posting of a summary of Minnesota
Statute Sections 181.931 to 181.935 or by furnishing the terminated employee a copy of
those statutes at termination that the employee has a right to make a written request for
HUC reason for termination. If requested, HUC will provide reasons, in writing, within
five working days. This notice will also contain a statement indicating that the employee
may respond to the charges both orally and in writing and may appear personally before
the official having authority to make or recommend the final decision.
An adequate reason or "just cause" for a disciplinary action will include, but not be limited to,
evidence of any of the following:
A Incompetence or inefficiency in the performance of duties.
B Negligence or carelessness in the performance of duty, such as in the handling or control
of municipal property, equipment, or funds and failure to observe safety rules and
regulations.
C Offensive or inappropriate conduct or language toward Utilities employees or other
persons.
D Failure to obey any lawful and reasonable direction given by an employee's supervisor or
the appointing authority.
E Acceptance of a fee, gift, or other valuable item or benefit in the course of, or as a result
of, the employee's work. This limitation is not intended to prohibit the acceptance of
articles of negligible value, which are distributed generally, or to prohibit employees from
accepting social courtesies, which promote good public relations. This prohibition is
intended to prevent or discourage relationships, which may be construed as evidence of
favoritism, coercion, unfair advantage, or collusion. Employees may accept food and
refreshments in such instances as a luncheon, dinner meeting, or inspection tour in
conjunction with HUC business.
F Conviction of a crime, which affects or relates to the performance of assigned duties.
G Using, threatening or attempting to use, political influence or unethical pressure to
influence a decision on a promotion, transfer, leave of absence, increased compensation,
other benefit, or any other matter in which the employee has an interest. Unethical pressure
includes offers of gifts or other special benefits, coercion, collusion, threats of blackmail,
requests for favoritism, and use of unfair advantage.
H Absence from work without prior approval in accordance with this policy.
I During assigned work schedules, (1) consuming or being under the influence of alcoholic
beverages, (2) having the odor of an alcoholic beverage on the breath, or (3) consuming or
being under the influence of a controlled substance, other than one prescribed by a
physician, which does not impair the ability to perform assigned duties.
J Tardiness or abuse of sick leave privileges.
K Theft of public property, pilferage, or other unauthorized use or taking of property.
L Sexual harassment.
M Discrimination against or harassment of any HUC employee at any time, or any other
person during work hours, based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital
status, status with regard to public assistance, veterans status, disability, or age.
N Performance of personal or other non-HUC work related matters during work hours.
O Violation of the HUC's equal employment plan.
P Engaging in a conflict of interest or performing public duties in a situation where the
employee has a conflict of interest.
Q Violations of the provisions of this Handbook and/or policies.
R Horseplay, loafing or sleeping on the job.
S Proven dishonesty in the performance of duties.
T Acts or threats of physical violence directed toward HUC employees.
U Unauthorized use or release of confidential, sensitive or privileged information.
V As a supervisor, knowingly permitting another employee to violate this policy or other
work rules.
W Acting or failing to act in a manner not otherwise specified that tends to lower discipline
or morale among HUC employees, brings or tends to bring discredit to the HUC, its
employees, or that adversely affects the prompt, courteous and efficient provisions of
public services. Freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment shall not be a basis
for discipline.
X Unauthorized possession or use of firearms or hazardous materials on HUC time or
property.
Y Refusal, during working hours, to submit to a Breathalyzer or other drug test required by
law.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Policy on Violence
HUC views aggressive and/or violent behavior as disruptive and contrary to the development and
maintenance of a safe, productive and supportive work environment. Such behavior is not
tolerated. Employees who exhibit such behavior will be held accountable under the policy and
work rules, as well as local, state, and federal law.
All threats and acts of aggression or violent behavior should be taken seriously and addressed
immediately. Such threats or acts include, but are not limited to:
• Harming or threatening to harm any employee or visitor;

Accountability
All personnel are responsible for notifying their immediate supervisor, or in the absence of their
supervisor, another member of the management staff of any threats that they have witnessed,
received, or have been told that another person has witnessed or received. Even without an actual
threat, personnel should also report any behavior they have witnessed which they regard as
threatening or violent, when that behavior is job related or might be carried out on a public site, or
is connected to municipal employment. Employees are responsible for making this report
regardless of the relationship between the aggressor and the individual to whom the threat or
threatening behavior was directed.
Directive
Any person who makes substantial threats, exhibits threatening behavior, or engages in violent
acts against employees, visitors, guests, or other individuals while on HUC property shall be
removed from the premises as quickly as safety permits and shall remain off HUC premises
pending the outcome of an investigation. Law enforcement should be utilized to remove
individuals who are perceived as a threat. HUC will initiate an appropriate response which may
include, but is not limited to, suspension and/or termination of any business relationship,
reassignment of job duties, suspension or termination of employment and/or criminal prosecution
of the person or persons involved.
Employees and supervisors should work together to identify and report situations or locations
where there is a potential for physical assault or threat of bodily harm.
Employees should record specific incidents, behaviors or conversations that may indicate a
potential for violence. Documentation should be forwarded to their Manager/Director. In instances
where their supervisor is the source of potential violence, documentation should be forwarded to
the next level of management with a copy to Human Resources.
Supervisors must carefully review and assess information provided by employees or other sources.
Appropriate precautions should be taken based on the specific situation. For example: If a
problem situation or location is identified, it should be communicated to other employees who are
likely to become involved in the situation or come in contact with the location.
Individuals applying for a restraining order must provide their supervisor and Human Resources
with a copy of the petition used to seek the order, and a copy of any temporary and permanent
protective restraining order which is subsequently granted.

OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR/SEXUAL HARASSMENT
It is HUC's policy to maintain a work environment free from offensive behavior and sexual
harassment.

vulgar obscenities, name calling, disrespectful language, or any other behavior regarded as
offensive to a reasonable person. A violation of this policy is subject to discipline up to and
including discharge.
One specific kind of illegal behavior is sexual harassment. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome
sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical conduct or other verbal
or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when:
1. submission to that conduct or communication is made a term or condition of obtaining
employment; or
2. submission to or rejection of that conduct or communication by an individual is used as a
factor in a decision affecting that individual's employment; or
3. that conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with
an individual's employment or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment
environment.
Examples of conduct that violate this policy include, but are not limited to:
• Repeated offensive sexual flirtations, unwelcome advances, propositions or invitations; or
• Unwelcome repeated comments, jokes, displays, or suggestions of a sexual nature; or
• Objectionable physical contact, including touching
• In summary, sexual harassment is the unwanted, unwelcome and repeated action of an
individual against another individual, using sexual overtones as a means of creating stress.
Any employee who feels he/she is being subjected to offensive or discriminatory behavior of any
kind or employees who are aware of such behavior is/are encouraged to express their objection to
the behavior and should also immediately report the behavior to their immediate Supervisor,
Department Manager or Director (if not the immediate supervisor), the Human Resources Director,
or the General Manager.
In addition, the employee may also file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human
Rights and the EEOC. A person must file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human
Rights within one year of the incident and file a complaint with the EEOC within 300 days of the
incident.
Staff Personnel who receives an offensive behavior or discrimination complaint shall inform the
General Manager and Human Resources of the complaint as soon as possible. The General
Manager must ensure an appropriate and prompt investigation of the complaint. If the investigation
substantiates the complaint, HUC will take appropriate corrective action. Strict confidentiality is
not possible in all cases of sexual harassment as the accused has the right to answer charges made
against them; particularly if discipline is a possible outcome. Reasonable efforts will be made to
respect the confidentiality of the individuals involved, to the extent possible.
Any employee who makes a false complaint or provides false information during an investigation
may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Retaliation against any person who files a complaint or participates in an investigation is expressly
prohibited. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, any form of intimidation, reprisal or
harassment. Any individual who retaliates against a person who testifies, assists, or participates in
an investigation may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
RETIREMENT
Any employee who elects to retire shall give the Employer sixty (60) days' written notice of date
that employee intends to retire.
RESIGNATION
Employees leaving employment with HUC in good standing will be paid any accrued unused
vacation. To leave employment in good standing, an employee should provide written notice of
resignation to Supervisor or Manager at least 10 working days prior to the resignation effective

The Commission approves personnel policies intending uniform administration of personnel
matters of the Utilities. The Commission may supplement, amend and/or rescind the policies to
assure that they will remain practical, useful and current. In approving personnel policies, the
Commission has made every effort to be as reasonable and practical as possible.
Final responsibility for the enforcement of the policies shall rest with the Commission. The
Commission however, has delegated to the General Manager the responsibility and authority for
the enforcement of all personnel policies. The General Manager, in turn, delegates certain
responsibilities and authority to the Staff as deemed advisable in order to carry out the personnel
policies. The General Manager, however, remains accountable to the Commission. If the
Commission has not clearly delegated its authority in a certain manner, the Commission retains
authority to determine the appropriate action.

practice, in which case the Union Contract, or other employment contract, or past practice, shall
govern.
SAVINGS CLAUSE

DATA PRACTICES ADVISORY
Employee records are maintained by Human Resources (or the Administrative Coordinator).
Personnel data is retained in personnel files, finance files, and benefit/medical files. Information
is used to administer employee salary and benefit programs, process payroll, complete state and
federal reports, document employee performance, etc.
Employees have the right to know what data is retained, where it is kept, and how it is used. All
employee data will be received, retained, and disseminated according to the Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act.
Media Requests: All HUC employees have a responsibility to help communicate accurate and
timely information to the public in a professional manner. Requests for private data or information
outside of the scope of an individual's job duties should be routed to the appropriate department.
Any employee who identifies a mistake in reporting should bring the error to the General Manager
or other appropriate staff. Regardless of whether the communication is in the employee's official
utilities role or in a personal capacity, employees must comply with all laws related to trademark,
copyright, software use, etc.
With the exception of routine events and basic information that is readily available to the public,
all requests for interviews or information from the media are to be routed through the General
Manager. No HUC employee is authorized to speak on behalf of HUC without prior authorization
from the General Manager or his designee. Media requests include anything intended to be
published or viewable to others in some form such as television, radio, newspapers, newsletters,
social media sites, and web sites. When responding to media requests, employees should follow
these steps:
1. If the request is for routine or public information (such as a meeting time or agenda)
provide the information and notify the General Manager of the request.
2. If the request is regarding information about HUC personnel, potential litigation,
controversial issues, an opinion on a HUC matter, or if an employee is unsure if the
request is a "routine" question, forward the request to the General Manager. An
appropriate response would be "I'm sorry, I don't have the full information regarding
that issue. Let me take some basic information and submit your request to the
appropriate person who will get back to you as soon as he/she can." Then ask the media
representative's name, questions, deadline and contact information.
All news releases concerning HUC personnel will be the responsibility of the General Manager.
When/if the General Manager authorizes a staff person to communicate on behalf of HUC in
interviews, publications, news releases, on social media sites, and related communications,
employees must:
✓ Identify themselves as representing HUC. Account names on social media sites must be
clearly connected to HUC and approved by the General Manager.
✓ All information must be respectful, professional and truthful. Corrections must be issued
when needed.
✓ Personal opinions generally don't belong in official statements. One exception is
communications related to promoting a service.
✓ Employees need to notify the General Manager if they will be using their personal
technology (cell phones, home computer, cameras, etc.) for HUC business. Employees
should be aware that the data transmitted or stored may be subject to the Data Practices
Act.
It is important for HUC employees to remember that the personal communications of employees
may reflect on HUC, especially if employees are commenting on HUC business. The following
guidelines apply to personal communications including various forms such as social media
(Facebook, Twitter, blogs, YouTube, etc.), letters to the editor of newspapers, and personal
endorsements.
✓ Remember that what you write is public, and will be so for a long time. It may also be
spread to large audiences. Use common sense when using email or social media sites. It
is a good idea to refrain from sending or posting information that you would not want your
boss or other employees to read, or that you would be embarrassed to see in the newspaper.
✓ HUC expects its employees to be truthful, courteous and respectful towards supervisors,
co-workers, citizens, customers and other persons associated with HUC. Do not engage in
name-calling or personal attacks.
✓ If you publicize something related to HUC business, identify yourself and use a disclaimer
such as, "I am an employee of HUC. However, these are my own opinions and do not
represent those of HUC."
✓ HUC resources, working time, or official positions cannot be used for personal profit or
business interests, or to participate in personal political activity.
✓ Personal social media account name or email names should not be tied to HUC.
COMPLAINT/GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
See Union Contract.
EMPLOYEE CONDUCT
All HUC employees are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that creates a work
environment enabling employees to work effectively and to promote positive customer relations.
HUC employees are required to adhere to the following standards of conduct while on the job.
• To behave in a courteous, business -like manner and to comply with HUC policies and work
rules.
• Refrain from any and all action, which may be detrimental to the safety or work of other
employees or to the goals of HUC.
• To communicate openly and honestly with management, other employees, and the public.
• To share responsibility for personal development and growth.
• To continually strive for excellence in work product and habits.
DISCIPLINE
In general, HUC employees shall be subject to disciplinary action for failing to fulfill their duties
and responsibilities, including observance of work rules approved by the Commission. It is the
policy of the Commission to administer discipline fairly, without discrimination, and for just cause.
The employee may use the grievance procedure with respect to any disciplinary action believed to
be unjust or disproportionate to the alleged offense. The General Manager, Director or Manager
shall investigate any allegation on which disciplinary action might be based before disciplinary
action is taken.
The Commission supports the concept of progressive discipline but expressly reserves the right to
impose various levels of discipline depending on the nature of the offense.
Staff Personnel may impose oral and written reprimands, and may send an employee home for the
remainder of a shift without pay. Only the General Manager may impose a suspension without
pay, letter in lieu of suspension, demotion, or discharge.
Notices of oral reprimand, written reprimand, suspension without pay, demotion, or discharge will
be documented in written form and will state the reason(s) for the action taken. The employee shall
be provided with a copy of each such notice and a copy shall be retained in the employee's
personnel file.
The following are examples of disciplinary action but do not constitute an exclusive list of
possibilities and may be taken in any order or not used at all. These examples and their descriptions
are not intended to create a contract or obligation on management's part.
A Oral reprimand. An oral notice advising an employee of inappropriate conduct and
expected corrective action.
B Written reprimand. A written notice advising an employee of inappropriate conduct. A
written reprimand should describe in detail the behavior to be corrected, describe past
actions taken by the supervisor to correct the problem, give direction and orders for the
future including timetables and goals for improvement when appropriate, and specify
consequences of repeating the inappropriate behavior. The employee will be given a copy
of the reprimand and sign the original acknowledging receipt of the reprimand. The
signature of the employee does not signify agreement with the reprimand. The reprimand
will be placed in the employee's personnel file.
C Prior to the suspension or as soon after as possible, the employee will be notified in writing
of the reason for the suspension and its length.
There are two forms of suspension: suspension as discipline and suspension pending
investigation. An employee receiving a suspension as discipline may not be paid, may not
accrue vacation, holiday or sick leave benefits during the suspension, and may not use paid
time while suspended. An employee suspended pending investigation of allegations will
have a copy of each written statement placed in the personnel file and will be paid during
the investigation. If the allegations prove false, the statement will be removed. An
employee placed on investigatory suspension should be notified as quickly as reasonably
possible of the action taken regarding employment.
D Demotion. Placement of an employee in a lower level position.
E Discharge. The General Manager may discharge any employee, but if the employee has
completed the probationary period, a dismissal will be made only for just cause. A
dismissed employee will be notified by the previous posting of a summary of Minnesota
Statute Sections 181.931 to 181.935 or by furnishing the terminated employee a copy of
those statutes at termination that the employee has a right to make a written request for
HUC reason for termination. If requested, HUC will provide reasons, in writing, within
five working days. This notice will also contain a statement indicating that the employee
may respond to the charges both orally and in writing and may appear personally before
the official having authority to make or recommend the final decision.
An adequate reason or "just cause" for a disciplinary action will include, but not be limited to,
evidence of any of the following:
A Incompetence or inefficiency in the performance of duties.
B Negligence or carelessness in the performance of duty, such as in the handling or control
of municipal property, equipment, or funds and failure to observe safety rules and
regulations.
C Offensive or inappropriate conduct or language toward Utilities employees or other
persons.
D Failure to obey any lawful and reasonable direction given by an employee's supervisor or
the appointing authority.
E Acceptance of a fee, gift, or other valuable item or benefit in the course of, or as a result
of, the employee's work. This limitation is not intended to prohibit the acceptance of
articles of negligible value, which are distributed generally, or to prohibit employees from
accepting social courtesies, which promote good public relations. This prohibition is
intended to prevent or discourage relationships, which may be construed as evidence of
favoritism, coercion, unfair advantage, or collusion. Employees may accept food and
refreshments in such instances as a luncheon, dinner meeting, or inspection tour in
conjunction with HUC business.
F Conviction of a crime, which affects or relates to the performance of assigned duties.
G Using, threatening or attempting to use, political influence or unethical pressure to
influence a decision on a promotion, transfer, leave of absence, increased compensation,
other benefit, or any other matter in which the employee has an interest. Unethical pressure
includes offers of gifts or other special benefits, coercion, collusion, threats of blackmail,
requests for favoritism, and use of unfair advantage.

I During assigned work schedules, (1) consuming or being under the influence of alcoholic
beverages, (2) having the odor of an alcoholic beverage on the breath, or (3) consuming or
being under the influence of a controlled substance, other than one prescribed by a
physician, which does not impair the ability to perform assigned duties.

L Sexual harassment.

public services. Freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment shall not be a basis
for discipline.
X Unauthorized possession or use of firearms or hazardous materials on HUC time or
property.

law.

any HUC project or make any decision concerning an HUC project involving the employee's
outside financial interest, unless the interest has been disclosed, and deemed acceptable by HUC
management.
OTHER EMPLOYMENT
An employee's position at HUC must take precedence over any other job an employee holds.
Employees must inform their Director or Manager of any work they perform for profit outside of

193 or 195 must comply with the Total Compliance Solutions Drug and Alcohol Plan as
administered by HUC
VIOLENCE IN THE WORKPLACE
HUC strives to ensure a healthy and productive working environment. In that regard, safety and
security are of the utmost importance. HUC will enforce zero tolerance for any acts of physical
assault or threats of bodily harm in the performance of work duties, wherever those duties are
performed.
Policy on Violence
HUC views aggressive and/or violent behavior as disruptive and contrary to the development and
maintenance of a safe, productive and supportive work environment. Such behavior is not
tolerated. Employees who exhibit such behavior will be held accountable under the policy and
work rules, as well as local, state, and federal law.
All threats and acts of aggression or violent behavior should be taken seriously and addressed
immediately. Such threats or acts include, but are not limited to:
• Harming or threatening to harm any employee or visitor;
• Damaging or threatening to damage property or the property of any employee or visitor;
• Unlawfully possessing a firearm, ammunition, weapon or incendiary device on HUC
property, vehicles, construction sites or while attending HUC business -related activities off
site;
• Engaging in stalking behavior of any employee.
Accountability
All personnel are responsible for notifying their immediate supervisor, or in the absence of their
supervisor, another member of the management staff of any threats that they have witnessed,
received, or have been told that another person has witnessed or received. Even without an actual
threat, personnel should also report any behavior they have witnessed which they regard as
threatening or violent, when that behavior is job related or might be carried out on a public site, or
is connected to municipal employment. Employees are responsible for making this report
regardless of the relationship between the aggressor and the individual to whom the threat or
threatening behavior was directed.
Directive
Any person who makes substantial threats, exhibits threatening behavior, or engages in violent
acts against employees, visitors, guests, or other individuals while on HUC property shall be
removed from the premises as quickly as safety permits and shall remain off HUC premises
pending the outcome of an investigation. Law enforcement should be utilized to remove
individuals who are perceived as a threat. HUC will initiate an appropriate response which may
include, but is not limited to, suspension and/or termination of any business relationship,
reassignment of job duties, suspension or termination of employment and/or criminal prosecution
of the person or persons involved.
Employees and supervisors should work together to identify and report situations or locations
where there is a potential for physical assault or threat of bodily harm.
Employees should record specific incidents, behaviors or conversations that may indicate a
potential for violence. Documentation should be forwarded to their Manager/Director. In instances
where their supervisor is the source of potential violence, documentation should be forwarded to
the next level of management with a copy to Human Resources.
Supervisors must carefully review and assess information provided by employees or other sources.
Appropriate precautions should be taken based on the specific situation. For example: If a
problem situation or location is identified, it should be communicated to other employees who are
likely to become involved in the situation or come in contact with the location.
Individuals applying for a restraining order must provide their supervisor and Human Resources
with a copy of the petition used to seek the order, and a copy of any temporary and permanent
protective restraining order which is subsequently granted.
Human Resources will monitor and evaluate the violence reports on an ongoing basis and will
submit program reports to the General Manager when requested.
OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR/SEXUAL HARASSMENT
It is HUC's policy to maintain a work environment free from offensive behavior and sexual
harassment.
Offensive behavior may include such actions as: rudeness, angry outbursts, inappropriate humor,
vulgar obscenities, name calling, disrespectful language, or any other behavior regarded as
offensive to a reasonable person. A violation of this policy is subject to discipline up to and
including discharge.
One specific kind of illegal behavior is sexual harassment. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome
sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical conduct or other verbal
or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when:
4. submission to that conduct or communication is made a term or condition of obtaining
employment; or
5. submission to or rejection of that conduct or communication by an individual is used as a
factor in a decision affecting that individual's employment; or
6. that conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with
an individual's employment or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment
environment.
Examples of conduct that violate this policy include, but are not limited to:
• Repeated offensive sexual flirtations, unwelcome advances, propositions or invitations; or
• Unwelcome repeated comments, jokes, displays, or suggestions of a sexual nature; or
• Objectionable physical contact, including touching
• In summary, sexual harassment is the unwanted, unwelcome and repeated action of an
individual against another individual, using sexual overtones as a means of creating stress.
Any employee who feels he/she is being subjected to offensive or discriminatory behavior of any
kind or employees who are aware of such behavior is/are encouraged to express their objection to
the behavior and should also immediately report the behavior to their immediate Supervisor,
Department Manager or Director (if not the immediate supervisor), the Human Resources Director,
or the General Manager.
In addition, the employee may also file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human
Rights and the EEOC. A person must file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human
Rights within one year of the incident and file a complaint with the EEOC within 300 days of the
incident.
Staff Personnel who receives an offensive behavior or discrimination complaint shall inform the
General Manager and Human Resources of the complaint as soon as possible. The General
Manager must ensure an appropriate and prompt investigation of the complaint. If the investigation
substantiates the complaint, HUC will take appropriate corrective action. Strict confidentiality is
not possible in all cases of sexual harassment as the accused has the right to answer charges made
against them; particularly if discipline is a possible outcome. Reasonable efforts will be made to
respect the confidentiality of the individuals involved, to the extent possible.
Any employee who makes a false complaint or provides false information during an investigation
may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Retaliation against any person who files a complaint or participates in an investigation is expressly
prohibited. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, any form of intimidation, reprisal or
harassment. Any individual who retaliates against a person who testifies, assists, or participates in
an investigation may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
RETIREMENT
Any employee who elects to retire shall give the Employer sixty (60) days' written notice of date
that employee intends to retire.
RESIGNATION
Employees leaving employment with HUC in good standing will be paid any accrued unused
vacation. To leave employment in good standing, an employee should provide written notice of
resignation to Supervisor or Manager at least 10 working days prior to the resignation effective
date. The General Manager may waive this requirement for good cause. A terminating employee
must also return all HUC property, and equipment including keys, security devices, clothing and
small hand tools provided by HUC.
SOLICITATION ON UTILITY PREMISES
Salespersons offering merchandise not related to HUC business are prohibited from soliciting
during normal business hours. Employees are discouraged from soliciting other employees.
Brochures and/or pamphlets are allowed to be put out in the breakroom for voluntary participation.
Employees shall not provide another employee's contact information to a salesperson without the
employee's consent.
EMPLOYEE GIFTS

Policy
Regarding Distributed Energy Resources
and Net Metering
To establish the application procedure and qualification criteria for all customers for the
delivery, interconnection, metering and purchase of electricity from distributed energy resource
facilities and to comply with applicable laws and rules governing distributed energy resources.
The utility recognizes its obligation to provide interconnection to eligible qualifying facilities and will
comply with all applicable laws and rules governing distributed energy resources.
For purposes of this policy, the following terms have the meanings given them:
A. Average retail energy rate - the average of the retail energy rates, exclusive of special rates
based on income, age, or energy conservation, according to the applicable rate schedule of
the utility for sales to the class of customer of which the customer/qualifying facility
belongs.
B. Avoided costs - the incremental costs to the utility of electric energy or capacity or both
which, but for the purchase from the qualifying facility, the utility would generate itself or
purchase from another source.
C. Contract -the written agreement between the customer/qualifying facility and the utility,
as established in the utility's Rules Governing Interconnection of Cogeneration and Small
Power Production.
D. Distributed energy resource (DER) - a distributed generation system incorporated with or
without an electric storage system.
E. Interconnection application - the form to be used by the customer to submit its formal
request for interconnection to the utility and which shall be substantially similar in form to
that contained in the Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Process adopted by the
utility.
F. Interconnection rules - any applicable rules developed in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes §§216B.164 and 21613.1611. This includes the utility's Rules Governing
Interconnection of Cogeneration and Small Power Production. It also includes the utility's
Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Process which includes its Simplified Process,
Fast Track Process, and Study Process as well as the technical requirements incorporated
therein or any future technical requirements adopted by the utility.
G. Measured capacity - for purposes of determining capacity, it shall be measured based on the
highest fifteen (15) minute average demand of the unit in any one billing period.
H. Net metering/net billing -the process whereby the customer and the utility compensate
each other based on the difference in the amount of energy each sells to the other at the net
metered facility.
I. Net metered facility - an electric generation facility constructed for the purpose of offsetting
energy use through the use of renewable energy or high efficiency generation sources with a
capacity of less than 40 kilowatts that has elected in writing to be compensated for excess
generation through net metering/net billing.
J. Total generator nameplate capacity - the nominal voltage (V), current (A), maximum active
power (kWac), apparent power (WA), and reactive power (kvar) at which a distributed
energy resource (DER), is capable of sustained operation. For a qualifying facility with
multiple units, the total generator capacity is equal to the sum of all individual DER units'
nameplate rating in the qualifying facility. The DER system's total generation capacity may,
with the utility's agreement, be limited thought use of control systems, power relays or
similar device settings or adjustments as identified in IEEE 1547. The customer must fully,
accurately and completely disclose in its interconnection application to the utility, the
technical specifications for any capacity limiting device contemplated and the customer shall
furnish the utility with any factory manuals or other similar documents requested from the
utility regarding such limiting or other control devices which factor into the calculation of
total generator capacity.
K. Qualifying facility - a cogeneration or small power production facility which satisfies the
conditions established in Code of Federal Regulations, title 18, part 292. The qualifying
facility must be owned by a customer of the utility and located in the utility service area.
L. Utility— Hutchinson Utilities Commission.
In the event an inconsistency exists between terms in this policy and those established by
applicable statute, rule or court order, then the definition so established shall supersede the
definition used in this policy and shall govern.
All customers are eligible for distributed generation, interconnection with the utility's
distribution system and application of net metering upon the following terms and conditions.
1. The customer must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the federal Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) *18 C.F.R. 292.303, 292.304 and
Minnesota's distributed generation laws. Minn. Stat. §216B.164.
2. The customer shall complete, sign and return to utility either the Interconnection
Application or the Simplified Process Application in the form prescribed in the utility's
Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Process. The application shall be approved
by the utility prior to the customer beginning the project. The customer signature on the
application indicates the customer shall follow the steps outlined in the utility's
interconnection rules.
3. The customer shall enter into a written contract with the utility using the uniform
contract contained in the utility's Rules Governing Interconnection of Cogeneration
and Small Power Production.
4. The qualifying facility shall pay the utility for all reasonable costs of interconnection
including those costs outlined in Minnesota Statute 21613.164, the utility's DER
Interconnection Process, and the State of Minnesota Interconnection Technical
Requirements.
5. The qualifying facility's total generator nameplate capacity shall be less than 40 kW and
the facility shall operate at a measured capacity of less than 40 kW at all times to qualify
for net metering/net billing or roll over credit compensation.
6. The utility may limit the capacity and operating characteristics of qualifying facility single
phase generators in a manner consistent with the utility limitations for single phase
motors, when necessary to avoid a qualifying facility from causing problems with the
service of other customers.
7. The utility may require the qualifying facility to discontinue parallel generation operations
when necessary for system safety.
2
8. The power output from the qualifying facility must be maintained so that frequency and
voltage are compatible with normal utility service and do not cause that service to fall
outside the prescribed limits of interconnection rules and other standard limitations.
9. The qualifying facility shall keep in force liability insurance against personal or property
damage due to the installation, interconnection, and operation of its electric generating
facilities. The amount of insurance coverage shall be the maximum amount of said
insurance for a qualifying facility or net metered facility as outlined in the utility's DER
Interconnection Process.
10. Failure of the qualifying facility to operate its distributed energy resource at a measured
capacity below the 40 kW AC capacity limit established by Minn. Stat. §216B.164, Sub. 3
and as contemplated by this policy, shall result in the following. The utility will notify the
customer/qualifying facility of the fact that its generating equipment has failed to operate
below the 40 kW AC maximum capacity and will provide the customer/qualifying facility
with the date, time and kW reading that substantiate this finding.
11. The utility shall compensate the customer/qualifying facility for all metered electricity
produced by said qualifying facility during the thirty (30) day period during which the
failure occurred, at the utility's wholesale power supplier's avoided cost rate.
12. The utility shall continue to pay the customer/qualifying facility for subsequent electricity
produced and delivered pursuant to the contract, at the utility's wholesale power
supplier's avoided cost rate until:
1. The problem with the generator that caused it to operate at or above the statutory
maximum capacity has been remedied; and
2. The utility has been provided documentation adopted by a Minnesota Professional
Engineer that confirms the problem with the generator has been remedied.
13. Any customer account eligible for net metering/net billing is not eligible for any other load
management discounts unless agreed to by the utility.
14. Payment for the purchase of the qualifying facility's electricity herein shall be in the form
of a credit on the customer's monthly billing invoice or paid by check or electronic
payment to the customer within fifteen (15) days of the billing date, whichever is selected
and indicated in the contract.
15. The customer must be, and continue to be, current with payment on its electric account
with utility.
16. The customer must not enter into any arrangement that violates the utility's exclusive right
to provide electric service in its service area under Minnesota Statutes §§216B.37-44.
17. In the event that the distributed generator fails to meet the requirements of this policy for
a total distributed generation capacity of less than 40 kW AC, and fails to satisfy the
corrective requirements set forth in Section 12 above, then the utility will have the right to
(1) cancel the contract with the owner of the qualifying facility, and (2) enter into a new
contract with the owner of the qualifying facility that, among other changes, adjusts the
qualifying facility's rated capacity and specifies avoided cost pricing for the qualifying
facility's output. To the extent that the utility does not have the obligation to make
purchases from qualifying facilities of 40 kW or greater due to transfer of the obligation to
the utility's wholesale supplier that has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, the new agreement will be between the utility's wholesale supplier and the
qualifying facility. In either case, the utility (and, as applicable, the utility's wholesale
supplier) and the owner of the qualifying facility will cooperate in the transition from the
form of contract set forth in the utility's Rules Governing Interconnection of Cogeneration
and Small Power Production to a new form of contract appropriate to a qualifying facility
with a capacity of 40 kW or greater.
18. Fully executed interconnection contracts for distributed energy resources may be
canceled in the event the distributed energy resource fails to interconnect to the utility's
distribution system within twelve (12) months of signing of the interconnection contract
by the qualifying facility and the utility.

Agenda Item: REQ #8676 - Electric Distribution System Coordination Study
Presenter: J. Carter
Agenda Item Type:
Time Requested (Minutes): 5

Attachments,: Yes
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
The last time an in-depth distribution study was performed was in 2004, and
approximately ten years ago a high level study was done in preparation for the addition
of Unit #5 to evaluate how the new generation would affect the distribution system.
With the transformer change and a new protection system planned for the feeders at the
Plant #2 Substation, it was decided that it would be beneficial to have a study performed
again to make sure our protection system is performing as it should with the changes
that have occurred over the last 15+ years. The results of the study will tell us where
changes need to be made, if any, to the relaying and fusing on the feeders from the
substation level out to the end of the line to ensure proper coordination of the protection
equipment, and will also be used for the development of relay settings at the Plant #2
Substation and any other future upgrades such as at the Plant #1 Substation which also
is due to be updated with new relaying.
