3. Approve Financial Statements
GM Carter presented the financial statements. GM Carter provided more in-depth
background on particular items on the Electric Division. Salary and Benefits are
trending higher than in past years due to not capitalizing as much labor; Staff has
been working on more operational maintenance due to COVID lockdown rather than
Capital Work Order maintenance. This is still anticipated for 2023. Purchase Power
YTD is down about 4%, Sept to Sept was down 11 % due to 3M being shut down 2
full days over the Labor Day weekend. This will also be noticed in the Gas Division.
Generator Fuel costs are up significantly but is also offset by Sales for Resale. GM
Carter reviewed the Hedging Program and stated that earlier in the year, HUC ran
units to complete the RATA/Emissions permitting testing that needed to be
completed along with increase gas costs for the Pigging Project. These costs are
not typical yearly costs.
GM Carter reviewed the increase in Operating Costs which included: $100K
repairing of the substations, $14K increase in CIP rebates, $53K equipment/
materials out of inventory for Unit 1, $28K for MMUA dues that is typically paid
quarterly but was paid at the beginning of the year, $53K Elevator repairs for State
Compliance, $30K in Nozzle cleanings and repairs, and $48K RATA Testing/HDR
outside services. GM Carter reviewed inventory costs and long lead times.
Discussion was held on the Hedging Program and Power Cost Adjustment.
GM Carter noted that Gas Division overall is trending well.
Mr. Martig noted that the estimate for GRE Transmission was short, actual came in
at $40K higher which results in a $10K loss rather than a $30K profit for Sept.

Special Meeting — Hutchinson Utilities Commission
Thursday, October 20, 2022
Call to order — 7:38 a.m.
President Matt Cheney called the meeting to order. Members present: President Matt
Cheney; Vice President Anthony Hanson; Secretary Don Martinez; Commissioner Robert
Wendor f; Commissioner Kathy Silvernale; GM Jeremy Carter; Attorney Marc Sebora
Others Present: Mike Gabrielson, Angie Radke
The purpose of the special meeting is to Approve RFP and Advertisement for Bid — Unit
1 Oil Leak Repair and Depot Service.
Mr. Gabrielson recapped discussions that were held at previous meetings regarding Unit
1 LM6000. There is a concern of the amount of oil that is leaking which is currently
averaging .66/Gal/Hr and could overrun the drain lines ability to keep the auxiliary gear
box evacuated. If it gets beyond this, oil will start to back up into the gearbox eventually
washing over the bearings which will cause additional errors. Once oil leak reaches
1/Gal/Hr the unit needs to be shut down.
Many troubleshooting steps were completed that consisted of replacing the L/S pump,
starter clutch, and the oil/air separator filters. However, the issues could not be rectified.
Mr. Gabrielson reviewed the RFP for scope of work to repair the LM6000 and address
any service bulletins that can only be done when the unit is out of service.
GM Carter noted with a project of this size, Staff needs to go out and publicly bid. The
Advertisement for Bid would be in the newspaper next week with Bid opening on Monday,
Nov 21, 2022. Staff will review the bids, look to the Commission to award the bid and
then have the Commission approve the contract before the work can start. The RFP has
an aggressive timeline. Staff is looking to pull out the Unit in December and having it back
by March 1, 2023. Staff would like to have the Unit back before Spring. Mr. Lang has
notified MISO about the Unit being out of service. GM Carter stated Staff will be utilizing
the downtown plant for the Dynasty Power contract along with market purchases and
continue to hedge against the market for retail customers when the units are available.
GM Carter reviewed the extended warranty.
Discussion was held on the timeframe and evaluating exceptions the contractors may
have.
Motion by Commissioner Martinez, second by Commissioner Hanson to Approve RFP
and Advertisement for Bid — Unit 1 Oil Leak Repair and Depot Service. Motion carried
unanimously.
There being no further business, a motion by Commissioner Martinez, second by
Commissioner Silvernale to adjourn the meeting at 7:54a.m. Motion carried unanimously.

HUTCHINSON UTILITIES FINANCIAL RESERVE POLICY
A. PURPOSE:
In order to maintain stable rates and provide reliable service, Hutchinson Utilities Commission (HUC) must
have various tools in place to deal with changes in costs or operational performance. Maintaining
appropriate financial reserves is one such tool that ensures sufficient funding is available for current
operating, capital and debt service needs. Financial reserves absorb short-term financial variability resulting
from unexpected operational changes or can reduce the need for large amounts of debt. This policy
establishes a Capital Reserve (CR), which is used to cover acquisition of capital assets, including replacement
of existing assets, and an Operating Reserve (OR), which addresses short-term financial volatility. HUC will
establish a Capital Reserve and Operating Reserve for each of the two utilities — Electric and Gas.
B. DEFINITIONS:
Hutchinson Utilities Commission reserves can be classified into three broad categories that include
Restricted Cash Reserves, Capital Reserve Funds, and Operating Reserve Funds. A "fund" is a segregation
within the Utility's accounting system to keep sources and uses for a particular purpose easily identifiable
and reportable.
C. GENERAL PROVISIONS
In the context of funding future capital equipment or facilities or replacing existing assets with substantial
value HUC will analyze the most cost effective and efficient method to finance a project, be it through debt
financing, pay -as -you go financing, use of reserves, use of contractual agreements, or through some
combination of those various sources or others that may present themselves.
At a minimum, reserve balances will be reviewed on an annual basis at, or near, the end of the fiscal year
during preparation of the Capital & Operating Spending Plans to ensure adequate compliance with policy
and intended funding targets. The minimum funding requirements established for each fund represents the
baseline financial condition that is acceptable to the Commission from a risk and long-range financial
planning perspective. Maintaining reserves at appropriate levels is a prudent, ongoing business process that
consists of an assessment and application of various revenue generating alternatives. These alternatives
(either alone or in combination with each other) include, but are not limited to: fees & charges, capital
financing, investment of funds, contractual commitments, and levels of capital expenses.
I. RESTRICTED RESERVES MR) - Restrictions on these monies are imposed by an outside source such
as creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations governing use. An example of restricted funds
is bond reserve covenants required as a part of debt issuance. The funds are legally protected by
bond covenants and can only be used in the event of default by HUC or to pay down principal at
maturity.
A. Funding Amount — The bond reserve requirements are established at the time of bond
issuance.
B. The sources of funds for the (RR) come from the undesignated fund balance of each utility
which can change annually based on yearly operating performance and accumulated net
revenues and, when appropriate, available short-term liquidity arrangements.
11. CAPITAL RESERVES (CR) - This reserve is established by action of the board to fund capital projects
including electric and gas distribution & transmission system infrastructure, production facilities, and
fleet that are a part of the 5-year capital improvement plan so HUC can avoid issuing bonds to pay
for maintaining normal operations. This reserve is not intended to fund large major capital purchases.
(i. e ... Fleet, infrastructure replacement or acquisitions)
A. Funding Amount —Minimum funding shall be targeted at the estimated current replacement
costs of assets expected to be replaced within the next five years.
B. Funding Sources — The sources of funds for the (CR) come from the undesignated fund
balance of each utility which can change annually based on yearly operating performance and
accumulated net revenues and, when appropriate, available short-term liquidity
arrangements.
111. OPERATING RESERVES (OR) — This reserve is established by action of the board to address short-
term financial risk or variability resulting from unexpected operating results and to address those
financial risks that have a more immediate potential impact on the existing organization cost
structure. (i.e... Rate Stabilization Reserve Funds, Catastrophic Reserve Funds, PILOT Reserve Funds,
Operating Reserves)
A. Risk Exposures — Potential sources of cash flow variability addressed by the (OR) include the
following risk exposures:
1. Reductions in overall customer demand,
2. Changes in total system load resulting from the actions of large customers,
3. Failure to achieve the budgeted level of net income,
4. Changes in the costs of purchased power,
5. Catastrophic disasters or community events
6. General operation exposures, such as timing mismatch between revenue receipts
and expense payment, unforeseen maintenance costs, regulatory compliance
costs, and other unexpected increases in the operating budget
B. Funding Amount —Target (OR) level has been set at a minimum of 60 days and a maximum of
90 days of total budgeted operating expenses for both the Electric Division and Gas Division.
Since the (OR) changes annually for each division based on the following years budget, the
(OR) will be adjusted annually. The (OR) target is in addition to the other operating reserve
funds listed above.
C. Funding Sources — The sources of funds for the (OR) come from the undesignated fund
balance of each utility which can change annually based on yearly operating performance and
accumulated net revenues and, when appropriate, available short-term liquidity
arrangements.
IV. FINANCIAL RESERVES HIERARCHY OF FUNDING — The following lists the priorities applied to HUC's
reserves.
A. Maintaining Operating Reserves (OR) within a 60 day to 90 day operating range.
B. Once the Target (OR) level is achieved, excess cash may be applied to the (CR) or other areas
at the discretion of the Hutchinson Utilities Commission.
V. FINANCIAL RESERVES REPLENISHMENT— The above section describes the hierarchy of funding the
reserves. The following describes what actions may be taken to generate cash and replenish the
reserves under different scenarios of each of the two utilities.
A. If the (OR) and (CR) are at the Target Level: Take no action
B. If either the (OR) or (CR) is below the Target Level or if both the (OR) and (CR) are below the
Target Level: Take no action during the current year, reevaluate the following year and
reduce expenses and/or increase revenues, if necessary, to reach the Target Level within the
next three years.
VI. FINANCIAL RESERVES FUNDING LEVEL AND FUND BALANCE REVIEWS — The Target levels and fund
balance are to be reviewed as follows:
A. Target Level Review: Although the actual monetary values are reviewed annually and
adjusted to reflect target goals when approving budgets, the Target (OR) and (CR) funding
levels are to be evaluated every year. For example, the Commission could revise (reduce or
increase) the (OR) or (CR) reserves based on future external factors and forward -looking cost
drivers.
B. Financial Reserves Fund Balance Review: The (OR) and (CR) fund balances are to be monitored
monthly by the Finance Department and reviewed annually during the budget review process
by the Commission or if an event were suddenly to reduce the fund balances.
INVESTMENT POLICY
ADOPTED OCTOBER 28, 2015
HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION INVESTMENT POLICY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish specific guidelines Hutchinson Utilities Commission will
use in the investment of Commission funds. It will be the responsibility of the General Manager
and Financial Manager to invest Commission Funds in order to attain the highest market rate of
return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the Commission
and protecting the capital of the overall portfolio. Investments will be made in accordance with
all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.
II. SCOPE
The General Manager and Financial Manager are responsible for the investing of all financial
assets of the Hutchinson Utilities Commission, excluding pension funds. These funds are
accounted for in the Commission's Audited Financial Statements and Supplementary
Information.
III. PRUDENCE
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of the capital as well as the probable income to be derived.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person"
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Investment
officers acting in accordance with this policy, with MN Statutes, Chapter 118A, and exercising
due diligences shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's risk or
market price change, provided that reasonable action is taken to control adverse developments
and unexpected deviations are reported in a timely manner.
C)R.IFrTI\/F
A. Safety - Safety of principal is of critical importance to the investment program.
Investments of the Commission shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the
preservation of principal in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk
and interest rate risk.
1. Credit Risk - the risk of loss due to failure of the security issuer or backer, will be
minimized by:
- Limiting investments to the types of securities listed in Section VIII of this investment
policy.
- Pre -qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisors
with which the Commission will do business in accordance with Section VI I.
Hutchinson Utilities Commission Investment Policy Page 2
HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION INVESTMENT POLICY
- Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of potential losses from any
one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized. Insurance or
collateral may be required to ensure return of principal.
2. Interest Rate Risk — the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall
due to changes in market interest rates will be minimized to:
- Provide for liquidity by reviewing cash flow requirements and make investments to
meet the shorter cash flow needs, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities in the
open market prior to maturity.
- Manage the average maturity of the overall portfolio to be consistent with the risk of
the Commission.
B. Liquidity - The Commission's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable
the Commission to meet all operating requirements reasonably anticipated. The portfolio
will be structured so that the portfolio emphasizes liquidity and consists largely of
securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). A portion of the
portfolio may be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment
pools which offer same day liquidity for short-term funds.
C. Yield - The Commission's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of
attaining a market rate of return. The core of investments is limited to low -risk securities
in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall
generally be held until maturity with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.
• A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
• Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.
IV. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the Commission's investment program is derived from MS 118A which
authorizes the Commission to invest any funds not presently needed in obligations in which
commission debt service funds may be invested. This law applies to all types of funds not
presently needed, including all general, special revenue, permanent, trust or other funds
regardless of source or purpose. Under this chapter a Government Entity may invest idle funds
in state or national banks, savings and loan associations, or credit unions. No person may
engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the
procedures established by the policy.
Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated to the General
Manager and Financial Manager, who shall be responsible for all transactions. The Financial
Manager shall establish procedures for the operation of the investment program, consistent with
this policy. Such procedures may include delegation of authority to persons responsible for
investment transactions.
Hutchinson Utilities Commission Investment Policy Page 3
HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION INVESTMENT POLICY
V. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The General Manager and Finance Staff involved in the investment process shall refrain from
conducting personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment
program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Investment
staff shall annually disclose to the Commission any material financial interests as required by
state statute. Investment staff shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those
of the Commission, particularly with regard to the time of purchases and sales, and shall refrain
from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business
is conducted on behalf of the Commission.
VI. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS
The Commission will annually, by resolution, approve depositories and a list of financial
institutions authorized to provide investment services.
A. Only approved security broker/dealers, selected by creditworthiness, shall be utilized,
with a minimum of $10,000,000 capital and at least five years of operation.
B. Financial institutions must be qualified as a "depository" by the Hutchinson Utilities
Commission; these may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under
Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (Uniform Net Capital Rule).
C. All investments must be insured, or registered, or securities must be held by the
Commission or its agent in the Commission's name.
D. No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository, as established
by state laws.
E. When investments purchased by the Commission are held in safekeeping by a
broker/dealer, they must provide asset protection of $500,000 through Securities
Investor Protection Corporations (SIPC), and at least another $2,000,000 Supplemental
Insurance Protection, provided by the broker dealer.
F. Before engaging in investment transactions with the Hutchinson Utilities Commission,
the supervising officer at the securities broker/dealer shall submit a certification of
"Notification to Broker and Certification by Broker Pursuant to MN Statute 118A". Said
certification will state that the broker/dealer has reviewed the investment policies and
objectives, as well as applicable state law, and agrees to disclose potential conflicts or
risk to public funds that might arise out of business transactions between the securities
broker/dealer firm and the Commission. All financial institutions shall agree to undertake
reasonable efforts to preclude imprudent transactions involving the Commission's funds.
VII. AUTHORIZED AND SUITABLE INVESTMENTS
It shall be the policy of the Hutchinson Utilities Commission that available funds be invested to
the best rates obtainable at the time of investment in conformance with the legal and
administrative guideline outlined herein. US Treasury Obligations and Federal Agency
Hutchinson Utilities Commission Investment Policy Page 4
HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION INVESTMENT POLICY
Securities will be given preference when the yields are equal to or greater than alternative
investments.
The investments of the Hutchinson Utilities Commission will be made in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, section 118A, which lists all permissible investments for Government
Entities.
COLLATERAL
Interest -bearing deposits in authorized depositories must be fully insured or collateralized.
Collateral ization will be required on Certificates of Deposits (where the dollar amount is in
excess of FDIC coverage). In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security
for all funds, the collateral ization level will be 110% of the market value of principal and accrued
interest. When the pledged collateral consists of notes secured by first mortgages, the collateral
level will be 140% of the market value of principal and accrued interest. Collateral shall be
deposited in the name of the Commission, subject to release by the Financial Manager.
VIII. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
Securities purchased shall be held in a segregated account for the Commission's benefit at a
third party trustee as safekeeping agent. The investment dealer or bank in which the security is
purchased shall issue a confirmation ticket to the Commission listing the specific instrument,
issuer, coupon, maturity, CUSIP number, purchase or sale price, transaction date, and other
pertinent information. The financial service provider which executes the transaction on the
Commission's behalf shall deliver all securities on a delivery versus payment method (DVP) to
the designated third party. Delivery versus payment (DVP) is a way of controlling the risk to
which securities market participants are exposed. Delivery of securities (i.e. the change in their
ownership) is done simultaneously with payment. This means that neither the buyer nor the
seller is exposed to the risk that the other will default. The Commission may not invest in
securities that are uninsured. Securities will be held in the Commission's designated accounts.
Investments, contracts and agreements may be held in safekeeping with:
- Any Federal Reserve bank;
- Any bank authorized under the laws of the United States or any state to
exercise corporate trust powers, including, but not limited to, the bank from
which the investment is purchased.
- A primary reporting dealer in United States government securities to the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York; or
- A securities broker -dealer having its principal executive office in Minnesota, licensed
under chapter 80A, or an affiliate of it, and regulated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission; provided that the government entity's ownership of all securities is
evidenced by written acknowledgments identifying the securities by the names of
Hutchinson Utilities Commission Investment Policy Page 5
HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION INVESTMENT POLICY
the issuers, maturity dates, interest rates, CUSIP number, or other distinguishing
marks.
IX. DIVERSIFICATION
The Financial Manager or investment designee will attempt to diversify its investments
according to type and maturity. The Commission will attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements. Extended maturities may be utilized to take advantage of
higher yields. Diversifications strategies shall be determined and revised periodically by the
Commission for all funds.
A. Institutions — Diversity between financial institutions used.
a. The Financial Manager or investment designee will attempt to diversify its
investments amongst investment companies, keeping in mind that some
temporary fluctuations may occur throughout the year (i.e. GO Bonds for
projects, etc.)
b. No funds may be invested in any one investment company in excess of the
amount insured by it.
B. Maturities — Diversity in length of maturities.
a. Investments shall be made to assure that funds are constantly available to
meet immediate payment requirements
b. No investments shall be made with a term of more than 10 years..
C. Investments —The Commission should maintain a diversity of investments.
a. Depending on market conditions, with the exception of US Treasury
Securities, authorized pools, and Federal Agencies (backed by the full faith
and credit of the US Government or its agencies), no more than 50% of the
Commission's total investment portfolio may be invested in any one of the
following: Certificates of Deposit or Commercial Paper.
X. POOLING OF INVESTMENTS
For the purpose of making the maximum amount of funds available for investment, the cash for
Commission Funds, as listed in Part II, is pooled in an investment account. Interest earnings
are allocated among the various funds based upon their average cash balance.
XI. INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION
The Commission's Investment Policy shall be adopted by resolution by the Hutchinson Utilities
Commission. The Policy shall be reviewed on an annual basis and any modifications made
thereto must be approved by the Hutchinson Utilities Commission.

Hutchinson Utilities Commission hereby adopts a general policy on the purchasing of
equipment, supplies and services.
Inventory Agent is authorized to create requisitions and approve purchase orders for
purchases associated with Hutchinson Utilities' standard inventory part numbers, which
are based on set order points and order quantities.
If requirements exceed current order quantities, either an approved Bill of Materials or an

and tabulate the results or, in the alternative purchase equipment, supplies
or services on the open market.
3. Staff will recommend acceptance of purchases of $5,000 - $25,000 to the
General Manager for approval.
For purchases up to $5,000:
Directors, Managers, and the City Attorney are authorized to approve requisitions via the
purchasing software for purchases requiring a purchase order number.
If purchase order numbers are not required each department may use their assigned
credit card.
1. Directors, Managers, or the City Attorney will approve all item requests prior to
purchasing the item.
2. Receipts will be given to each Director, Manager, or City Attorney as items are
purchased to initial, assign appropriate account number and give a description of
the item purchased; then forward to Accounting.
3. Accounting will keep a file for each department until monthly credit card
statements are received and reconciled.
Petty cash may be used for purchases less than $25.00.
Employees may make local purchases with prior approval from their
Director/Manager. The employee has the option of using a HUC credit card, paying
cash for the item, if less than $25.00, and being reimbursed from petty cash, or
making the purchase at a local retailer with whom we have an account established.
All receipts must to be turned in to the appropriate Director/Manager to initial, assign
appropriate account number and then forward to the financial manager.
CREDIT CARDS
A purchase by credit card must comply with all statutes and rules applicable to Hutchinson
Utilities Commission (HUC) purchases. Credit card purchases must comply with the
following requirements:
Minn. Stat. 412.271, subd. 2 and 471.38, subd.1. Claims presented to HUC for payment
must be in writing and itemized. Bills from credit card companies do not contain the detail
necessary to satisfy these requirements; therefore, HUC must retain invoices and
itemized receipts for items charged to a credit card.
The Office of the State Auditor strongly urges local government units to develop a
comprehensive credit card use policy to avoid misappropriation of funds or other misuse
of the credit card.
The following are authorized to make credit card purchases on behalf of HUC:
General Manager

The financial manager will keep a file for each department until monthly credit card
statements are received and reconciled. The financial manager has the authority to
approve and question all credit card purchases in so far as the policy applies. The full
amount of the statement must be paid each month.
FIXED ASSET CAPITALIZATION
The Hutchinson Utilities Commission (HUC) will regard fixed assets as capitalized when
all of the following criteria are met-
1 . Assets purchased, built or leased have useful lives of one year or more.
2. The cost of the asset (including installation) is $5,000 or more, or work
order infrastructure assets whose cost is less than $5,000 individually
but the aggregate total is $5,000 or more.
3. The cost of repairing or renovating the asset is $5,000 or more and
prolongs the life of the asset.
Costs associated with purchasing and implementing software, software maintenance and
customer support are considered expenditures and will not be capitalized.
Other Considerations:
1. REPAIR is an expenditure that keeps the property in ordinary efficient
operating condition. The cost of the repair does not add to the value or
prolong the life of the asset. All repair expenditures are charged to the
appropriate department and fund.
2. IMPROVEMENTS are expenditures for additions, alterations and
renovations that appreciably prolong the life of the asset, materially
increase its value or adapt it to a different use. Improvements of the
nature are capitalized.

Agenda Item: Non -Waiver of Tort Liability Limits for General Liability

Time Requested (Minutes): 2

Attachments:
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
As part of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust general liability insurance
renewal for the period January 2023 through December 2023, HUC must decide
whether or not to waive the statutory municipal tort liability limits from $500,000 per
claimant and$1,500,000 per occurrence. If HUC does waive this, then HUC must
purchase excess liability coverage. Historically HUC has not waived the municipal tort
limit because by doing so, HUC opens itself up to claims and potential payment above
the statutory limit.
Recommendation is to not waive the tort liability limits.
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve non -waiver of tort liability limits for general liability for the upcoming
policy period of January 2023 through December 2023

LIABILITY COVERAGE — WAIVER FORM
Members who obtain liability coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust
(LMCIT) must complete and return this form to LMCIT before the member's effective date of
coverage. Return completed form to your underwriter or email to pstechklmc.org.
The decision to waive or not waive the statutory tort limits must be made annually by the
member's governing body, in consultation with its attorney if necessary.
Members who obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory tort
liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision has the following effects:
• If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more
than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could
recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000.
These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether the member purchases the optional
LMCIT excess liability coverage.
If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence (under the waive option, the tort cap
liability limits are only waived to the extent of the member's liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT
per occurrence limit is $2,000,000). The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to
which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of
claimants.
• If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant
could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all claimants
could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to
the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

Re: 2023 Regulatory Program Updates
Dear Mr. Webster,
WSB is pleased to present this proposal to assist Hutchinson Utilities Commission (HUC) with the
updates to their regulatory program manuals per two, new rules by the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA):
• "Requirement of Valve Installation and Minimum Rupture Detection Standards", issued
April 8th, 2022 (also known as the "Valve Rule"), and
• "Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: Repair Criteria, Integrity Management
Improvements, Cathodic Protection, Management of Change, and Other Related
Amendments", issued August 24'h, 2022 (also known as "RIN-2")
These new rules will require HUC's regulatory manuals be modified to incorporate the new
procedural requirements. The following procedural manuals are included in this proposal to be
updated:
• Operations & Maintenance Manual (O&M)
• Emergency Response Plan (ERP)
• Transmission Integrity Management Plan (TIMP)
A detailed scope and cost breakdown is included in the following pages.
Once again, thank you for the opportunity to support Hutchinson Utilities Commission with their
regulatory program. We look forward to the next steps.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at (865) 317-2545.
Sincerely,
Brandi P. Wolfe
Regulatory Compliance Manager

• Repairs require TVC documentation,
• Expansion of Immediate, One -Year, and Monitored conditions
• Expansion of preventative & mitigative measure determination and documentation, and
• Clarifications to low stress assessments.
These new manual requirements will require HUC to have a risk assessment model. WSB will develop a
risk model for use by HUC that incorporates the new requirements in the RIN-2 rule. WSB will also
research risk assessment software and solutions that could more efficiently incorporate these
requirements. If no other solution is discovered, WSB will incorporate the new requirements into an Excel
spreadsheet risk model for HUC's future use.
An initial risk assessment completion for all HUC's one (1) HCA is also included in this proposal.
These proposed dates are driven by compliance deadlines in PHMSA's rulemaking.
• Operations & Maintenance Manual (O&M) — Complete by April 10, 2023
• Emergency Response Plan (ERP) — Complete by April 10, 2023
• Transmission Integrity Management Plan (TIMP) — Complete by May 24, 2023
o Initial Risk Assessment for one HCA — Complete by December 31, 2023

Good morning, John,
Please find attached a proposal to update Hutchinson Utilities's regulatory manuals to include requirements from
PHMSA's Valve Rule and RIN-2. These rules will affect three manuals, O&M, Emergency Response, and the TIMP. And
will also require that a risk model be developed. In the development of that model, I've also included the hours to
perform the initial risk assessment on HUC's only HCA to date.
We'll talk to you in a few minutes if you'd like to dive into any particular area.
Thanks!
