Below are some of the significant entries. Salaries and Benefits had a large December 2023 decrease due mostly to a YE GASB entry for PERA liablilities which increased expenses in 2022 by $363,335 split $272,501 to electric and $90,834 to gas. The 2023 entry has not been done yet as the PERA report is not out yet. It is expected that PERA investments did better this year so the YOY gap could increase even more. If the PERA liability goes down then HUC's expense will go down as well. This is a non -cash entry. Another year-end entry that does not affect cash but is required is a mark to market adjustment to adjust the value of HUC investments. Investments that are at lower interest rates than the current market rates will see a decrease in market value. This was especially apparent in 2022 because of the dramatic rise in interest rates. The end result for 2022 was a significant declince in HUC's investment portfolio value. However, since HUC holds investments to maturity these losses based on current market values will not be realized. This journal entry was a reduction in revenue (Interest Earnings) of $1,415,043 split equally between divisions. The investments rebounded some in 2023 with more steady interest rates. The difference in the journal entries with the 2022 entry reversal is $1,821,270 split equally between divisions.

WELCOME TO HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION WHAT IS HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION? The Municipal Electric Light Plant was established in 1935 as a result of a special election authorizing the establishment of a new generating plant and distribution system through a bond issue of $250,000 to pay for the construction. The vote was 1,187 for and 128 against. Contracts were awarded for the construction of a new power plant building at the intersection of State Highways 7 and 15. The contract included three (3) 625 hp 430 kw diesel generating units, switchboard, a complete distribution system and other auxiliary equipment. On November 28 1936, construction was completed and by January of 1937, over 600 customers were connected. By the end of March, the system was serving 1,171. The City Charter was amended in 1935 to create a Utilities Commission to manage and operate the system. In 1960, the City constructed a natural gas distribution system, buying natural gas from Northern Natural Gas Company, and selling it to the citizens of Hutchinson and the surrounding rural area. Natural gas was also used in firing the dual generating units of the light plant. In 2003, in order to control natural gas transportation costs, Hutchinson Utilities constructed a high pressure natural gas transmission pipeline to serve this community. This transmission line is interconnected with Northern Border Pipeline near Trimont, Minnesota which allows Hutchinson Utilities to transport natural gas to its customers in addition to other municipal utilities and industrial end users located along the pipeline corridor. Since 1936, the Hutchinson Utilities Commission, consisting of three (3) qualified voters of the City of Hutchinson, has operated the Municipal Electric Plant and the Natural Gas Distribution System. It was established by Section 17 of the City Charter that the Commissioners be appointed by the City Council, one (1) every two years, for a six year term. No Commissioner can serve more than two (2) successive terms. The Commission elects a President, Vice President, and Secretary. In November of 1987, the City Charter was amended to expand the Utilities Commission to a five (5)-member board. Each Commissioner's term will be five (5) years and no Commissioner can serve more than two (2) successive terms. The City Charter gives the Commission full, absolute and exclusive control of and power over the Electric and Natural Gas Operations of Hutchinson Utilities. The Commission hires a General Manager to manage the day-to-day operation of the Utilities. The Hutchinson Utilities Commission has, for many years, made substantial cash contributions to the General Fund of the City of Hutchinson from surplus earnings of both the electric and gas divisions of the Utilities. Hutchinson Utilities Commission has provided and will continue to provide to its customers, electricity and natural gas at the lowest possible cost. PURPOSE OF THIS HANDBOOK The contents of this Employee Handbook are for information only. The Hutchinson Utilities Commission does not intend to create a contract by the publication and issuance of this Handbook and under no circumstances is it to be construed as a contract of employment.

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.

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 216B.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.

If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety's obligation under this Bond shall arise after: 3.1. The Owner first provides notice to the Contractor and the Surety that the Owner is considering declaring a Contractor Default. Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is requesting a conference among the Owner, Contractor, and Surety to discuss the Contractor's performance. If the Owner does not request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Owner's notice, request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner shall attend. Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference requested under this Paragraph 3.1 shall be held within ten (10) business days of the Surety's receipt of the Owner's notice. If the Owner, the Contractor, and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner's right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default; 3.2. The Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates the Construction Contract and notifies the Surety; and 3.3. The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract. 4. Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice requirement in Paragraph 3.1 shall not constitute a failure to comply with a condition precedent to the Surety's obligations, or release the Surety from its obligations, except to the extent the Surety demonstrates actual prejudice. 5. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's expense take one of the following actions: 5.1. Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract; 5.2. Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or independent contractors; 5.3.

Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor, and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances: 5.4.1. After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or 5.4.2. Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial. 6. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Paragraph 5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. 7. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3, then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to the Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under the Construction Contract. Subject to the commitment by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price, the Surety is obligated, without duplication for: 7.1. the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and completion of the Construction Contract; 7.2. additional legal, design professional, and delay costs resulting from the Contractor's Default, and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 5; and 7.3. liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Construction Contract, actual damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor. 8. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.3, or 5.4, the Surety's liability is limited to the amount of this Bond. 9. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Construction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns. 10.

Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the work or part of the work is located and shall be instituted within two years after a declaration of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first.

Notice to the Surety, the Owner, or the Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the page on which their signature appears. 13.
