HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION Board Action Form �rre tit' Agenda Item: Approve Policy Changes Presenter: Angie Radke Agenda Item Type: Time Requested (Minutes): 5 Approve Policy Changes Attachments: Yes BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM: As part of HUC's standard operating procedures, a continual policy review is practiced. The following revisions to the policies below are recommended. i. Compensation Plan ii. Travel Expenses BOARD ACTION REQUESTED: Approve Policy Changes Fiscal Impact: Included in current budget: Budget Change: PROJECT SECTION: Total Project Cost: Remaining Cost: EXEMPT COMPENSATION PLAN The Hutchinson Utilities Commission (HUC) has considered the existing positions for HUC and the current economic conditions. For each position there shall be a title, job description, and a pay scale level assigned. This plan covers all regular full-time, exempt positions/employees only. Plan Objectives To establish and maintain a compensation plan that enables HUC to be highly competitive within our defined industry. To lead or exceed the market in attracting and retaining qualified, reliable and motivated employees who are committed to quality and excellence for those we serve. To ensure, subject to the financial condition of HUC, that employees receive fair and equitable compensation in relation to their individual contributions to HUC's success. To follow the principles of pay equity in establishing and maintaining pay relationships among positions. To ensure program flexibility necessary to meet changing economic, competitive, technological, and regulatory conditions encountered by HUC. To balance compensation and benefit needs with available resources. Open Salary Range HUC shall adopt an Open Salary Range compensation plan that will allow for maximum flexibility since there are not defined or pre -calculated "steps". Employee movement is based solely on performance. The open salary range concept rewards good and exceptional performers and advances employees to the market rate more quickly. Allocation of New Positions When a new position is created for which no appropriate description exists or when the duties of an existing position are sufficiently changed so that no appropriate description exists, the Commission, after recommendation of the General Manager/HR, shall cause an appropriate job description -specification to be written for said position. Pay Scales Pay scales will be adjusted on an annual basis in accordance with adjustments made in the labor agreement. Exempt Employees Each position will have a six-month probationary period. After satisfactory completion of the probationary period, an increase may be granted as warranted by the annual performance appraisal. Thereafter, consideration for increases will be given annually at the first of the year. The General Manager reserves the discretion to adjust individual rates as required. The Commission will determine any pay increase for the General Manager. Consideration for market adjustment will be made each January 1. The General Manager shall maintain the discretion to hire at any point based on the qualifications, experience, market conditions or other relevant factors, to secure the best candidate for the position. Performance Evaluations For all regular full-time employees, a performance appraisal or evaluation will be made on an annual basis. An evaluation made by the employee'smanager or supervisor shall be submitted in writing to the employee and the General Manager. All evaluations will be forwarded to the Human Resources for filing in the employee files. Evaluations shall be based upon the performance of the individual in the position measured against established job performance criteria. Such criteria may include level of knowledge, skills, ability, quality of work, personal work traits, compliance with established HUC or departmental rules and regulations or any other criteria that is indicative of performance. The performance appraisal process is the application of performance standards to past performance. In appraising an employee, these are the basic levels of performance: 5 — Outstanding Performer — Performance is exceptional in all areas and is recognizable as being far superior to others. 4 — Exceeds Expectations — Results clearly exceed most positions requirements. Performance is of high quality and is achieved on a consistent basis. 3 — Solid Performer — Competent and dependable level of performance. Meets performance standards of the job. 2 — Needs Improvement — Performance is deficient in certain area(s). Improvement is necessary. 1— Unsatisfactory — Results are generally unacceptable and require immediate improvement. Results - The results of the exempt employee's evaluation will normally have the following effect on his/her salary per the following Merit Increase Guide below. The percent increase given to an employee within a certain performance score range will be based on where the employee's current salary is at in their respective pay grade range approved by the Commission Performance Score: 0 to 1.0 1.01 to 2.0 2.01 to 3.0 3.01 to 4.0 % of Increase Range 0% - 0% 0% - 2% 1% - 5% 2% - 6% 4.01 to 5.0 Market Conditions 3% - 7% Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, HUC retains the right to deviate from the pay plan when, in the sole judgment of the Commission, market conditions or other circumstances dictate such a decision. Market conditions are defined as the availability of a particular position. Eligible employees include all non -represented employees except those who have been subject to disciplinary action per the HUC Employee Handbook as follows: An additional consequence of disciplinary action more severe than oral reprimand will be the permanent loss of the January 1 market adjustment in the calendar year following such disciplinary action. This will occur unless the DiFeetof: Mwiiger in charge and the General Manager decide otherwise. Annual Market Adjustment Consideration On an annual basis, a market survey will be reviewed. As a result of the current year marketplace, an additional increase may be deemed necessary. The General Manager maintains final approval responsibility for salary increases. Any market adjustment on January 1 of any year shall be separate and apart from the individual merit increases. In determining a recommendation for an annual market adjustment, the General Manager shall consider, at least the following information: 1. U.S. and Minneapolis/St. Paul consumer -priced index changes (CPIU & CPIW) 2. Social Security calculation of cost of living increase 3. Unemployment rate 4. Employee turnover rate 5. Area wage survey 6. Legislative growth factor constraints 7. Bargaining Unit Increase Modification of the Plan HUC reserves the right to modify any or all of the components or to vary from any of the components of the Compensation Plan at its discretion and at any time. Review of the Plan It is recommended that HUC's General Manager/HR annual review and maintain its Position Classification Plan. As deemed necessary, the General Manager/HR would recommend any changes to the Commission. It is further recommended that a comprehensive review be completed every five years.

HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMMISSION ^I'�xP61Tti'°" Board Action Form Agenda Item: 2024 Annual Reliability Benchmarking Report Presenter: Dave Agenda Item Type: Time Requested (Minutes): 5 New Business Attachments: Yes BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM: The American Public Power Association 2024 Annual Reliability Benchmarking Report. This report provides Hutchinson Utilities with high -quality reliability benchmarking information. This year's report includes our data in comparison to the 350 utilities that provided and verified their data for 2024. This report focuses on distribution system reliability across the country and is customized to each utility that participates in the American Public Power Association's eReliability Tracker service. APPA created the eReliability Tracker Annual Report to assist utilities in their efforts to understand and analyze their electric system.

About This Report This report focuses on distribution system reliability across the country and is customized to each utility that participates in the American Public Power Association's eReliability Tracker service. APPA created the eReliability Tracker Annual Report to assist utilities in their efforts to understand and analyze their electric system. In 2012, APPA developed the eReliability Tracker thanks to a grant from the Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments (DEED) program. This report reflects data in the eReliability Tracker from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. This analysis might not properly reflect your utility's statistics if you do not have a full year of data in the system. The report includes data recorded as of February 25, 2025. Reliability reflects both historic and ongoing engineering investment decisions within a utility. Proper use of reliability metrics ensures that a utility is performing its intended function and is providing service in a consistent and effective manner. While the primary use of reliability statistics is for self -evaluation, you can use these statistics to compare your utility with similar utilities. However, differences such as electrical network configuration, ambient environment, weather conditions, and number of customers served typically limit most utility -to -utility comparisons. Due to the diverse range of utilities that use the eReliability Tracker, this report endeavors to improve comparative analyses by grouping utilities by size and region. Since this report contains data for all utilities that use the eReliability Tracker, it is important to consider how a particularly large or small utility can affect comparative benchmarks. To ease the issues associated with comparability, each utility's reliability statistics are weighted based on customer count when aggregated. This means that all utilities are equally weighted, and all individual statistics are developed on a per customer basis. The aggregate statistics in this report are calculated from the 350 utilities with verified 2024 outage data. Utilities that experienced no outages in 2024, or did not upload any data, will have NULL, None, or "0" values in their report for utility -specific data and were not included in the aggregate analysis. Also note that log -normal data with a z-scorell] greater than 3.25 may be excluded if it significantly distorts the aggregate statistics. [1 ]: A z-score indicates how much a data point differs from the mean. For instance, a z-score of 3.25 indicates that the data point is three and one -quarter standard deviations from the mean. A z-score of 0 indicates that the data point is identical to the mean. Utility Classifications This report separates utilities into groups according to geographic region and the number of customers served. Table 1 shows the range of customer counts for utilities that use the eReliability Tracker by five distinct groups of approximately 107 utilities per group. Your utility is in size class 3 and region 3. Table 1.

IEEE Statistics When it comes to reliability, the industry standard metrics are defined in the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers' Guide for Electric Power Distribution Reliability Indices, or IEEE 1366 guidelines. For each utility, the eReliability Tracker performs IEEE 1366 calculations for System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI), Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index (MAIFI), and Average Service Availability Index (ASAI). It is important to note how major events (MEs) are calculated and used in this report. An example of an ME includes severe weather, such as a tornado or hurricane, that leads to unusually long outages in comparison to your distribution system's typical outage. This report uses the APPA ME threshold, which is based directly on the SAIDI for specific outage events, rather than a daily SAIDI. The APPA ME threshold allows a utility to remove outages that exceed the IEEE 2.5 beta threshold for outage events, which considers up to 10 years of the utility's outage history. In the eReliability Tracker, if a utility does not have at least 36 outage events prior to the year being analyzed, then no threshold is calculated. If this is the case for your utility, then you will have a NULL value in the following field and the calculations without MEs in the SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, and ASAI sections of this report will be the same as the calculations with MEs for your utility. More outage history will provide a better threshold for your utility. Your utility's APPA major event threshold is 56.65 minutes. For each of the reliability indices, this report displays your utility's metrics alongside the mean values for all utilities using the eReliability Tracker and within the same class and region as your utility. The first table within each of the following subsections allows you to better understand the performance of your electric system relative to other utilities nationwide and to those within your same region or size class. The second table breaks down the national data into quartile ranges, a minimum value, and a maximum value. All indices, except MAIFI, are calculated for outages with and without MEs. Furthermore, the tables show indices for scheduled and unscheduled outages. Note that scheduled and unscheduled calculations include MEs. Also note that wherever MEs are excluded, the exclusion is based on the APPA ME threshold for your system. II.1. System Average Interruption Duration Index SAIDI is the average duration (in minutes) of an interruption per customer served by the utility during a specific time frame. Since SAIDI is a sustained interruption index, only outages lasting longer than five minutes are included in the calculations. SAIDI is calculated by dividing the sum of all customer minutes of interruption[21 within the specified time frame by the average number of customers served during that period. For example, a utility with 100 customer minutes of interruption and 100 customers would have a SAIDI of 1. Note that in the tables below, scheduled and unscheduled calculations include MEs. Also note that wherever MEs are excluded, the exclusion is based on the APPA ME threshold for your system. Table 2.

System Average Interruption Frequency Index SAIFI is the average instances a customer on the utility system will experience a sustained interruption during a specific time frame. Since SAIFI is a sustained interruption index, only outages lasting longer than five minutes are included in the calculations. SAIFI is calculated by dividing the total number of customers that experienced sustained interruptions by the average number of customers served during that period. For example, a utility with 150 customer interruptions and 200 customers would have a SAIFI of 0.75. Note that in the tables below, scheduled and unscheduled calculations include MEs.

Customer Average Interruption Duration Index CAIDI is the average duration (in minutes) of an interruption experienced by customers during a specific time frame. Since CAIDI is a sustained interruption index, only outages lasting longer than five minutes are included in the calculations. CAIDI is calculated by dividing the sum of all customer minutes of interruption by the number of customers that experienced one or more interruptions during that period. This metric reflects the average customer experience (minutes of duration) during an outage. Note that in the tables below, scheduled and unscheduled calculations include MEs. Also note that wherever MEs are excluded, the exclusion is based on the APPA ME threshold for your system. Table 6.

Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index MAIFI is the average number of momentary interruptions a utility customer will experience during a specific time frame. In this report, an outage with a duration of five minutes or less is classified as momentary. MAIFI is calculated by dividing the total number of customers that experienced momentary interruptions by the total number of customers served by the utility. For example, a utility with 20 momentary customer interruptions and 100 customers would have a MAIFI of 0.20. Momentary interruptions can be more difficult to track and utilities without an automated outage management system might not log these interruptions; therefore, some utilities have a MAIFI of zero.

This load -based index represents the percentage availability of electric service to customers within the period analyzed. It is calculated by dividing the total hours in which service is available to customers by the total hours that service is demanded by the customers. For example, an ASAI of 99.99% means that electric service was available for 99.99% of the time during the given period. Note that the higher your ASAI value, the better the performance.

Energy Information Administration Form 861 Data Form EIA-861 collects annual information on electric power industry participants involved in the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric energy in the United States and its territories. In 2014, Energy Information Administration (EIA) began publishing reliability statistics in Form EIA-861; therefore, APPA included these statistics in this report for informational purposes. Please note that the following data includes 174 investor -owned, 467 rural cooperative, and 327 public power utilities that were large enough to be required to fill out the full EIA-861 form. The statistics do not include data from utilities that complete the EIA 861-S form, which smaller entities complete. Note that the 327 participating public power utilities include entities classified by EIA as municipal, political subdivision, and state. In addition, since the collection and release of EIA form data lags by a year, the data is based on 2023 data that was published October 10, 2024. Therefore, we suggest you only use the aggregate statistics contained herein as an informational tool for further comparison of reliability statistics. In Form EIA-861, an entity provides SAIDI and SAIFI including and excluding ME days in accordance with the IEEE 1366-2003 or IEEE 1366-2012 standard. Although EIA collected other reliability -related data, the tables below only include SAIDI and SAIFI data including and excluding ME days. You can download the full set of data at: www.eia.gov/electricity/data/eia861 /. Table 12.

The following pie chart shows the percentages of the primary causes of outages for all utilities using the eReliability Tracker in 2024. wildllife Scheduled Figure 8. Primary causes of outages in 2024 neat Utility Human Error Power Supply Pubic am Certain factors, such as regional weather and animal/vegetation patterns, can make some causes more prevalent for a specific group of utilities. The following section includes graphs depicting common causes of outages for your utility, all utilities in your region, and all utilities using the eReliability Tracker. Charts containing aggregate information are customer -weighted to account for differences in utility size for a better analytical comparison. For example, a particularly large utility may have a large number of outages compared to a small utility. To avoid skewing the data toward large utilities, the number of cause occurrences is divided by customer size to account for the differences. In Figures 9 to 14, the data represent the number of occurrences for each group of 1,000 customers. A customer -weighted occurrence rate of "1" means an average of one outage from that cause occurred per 1,000 customers in 2024. Note that the sustained outage cause analysis is more comprehensive than the momentary outage cause analysis due to a larger and more robust sample size for sustained outages. Regardless, tracking both sustained and momentary outages helps utilities understand and reduce outages. To successfully use the outage information tracked by your utility, it is imperative to classify and record outages in detail. The more information provided per outage, the more conclusive and practical your analyses will be. III.1. Sustained Outage Causes In general, sustained outages are the most commonly tracked outage type. In analyses of sustained outages, utilities tend to exclude scheduled outages, partial power, customer - related problems, and qualifying major events from their reliability indices calculations. While this is a valid method for reporting, these outages should be included for internal review to make utility -level decisions. In this section, we evaluate common causes of sustained outages for your utility, corresponding region, and for all utilities that use the eReliability Tracker. It is important to note that sustained outages are classified in this report as outages that last longer than five minutes, as defined by IEEE 1366. Figure 9.

Momentary Outage Causes The ability to track momentary outages can be difficult or unavailable on some systems, but due to the hazard they pose for electronic equipment, it is important to track and analyze the causes of momentary outages. This section evaluates the common causes of momentary outages for your utility, region, and size class as well as common causes for all utilities that use the eReliability Tracker. Please note that only outages lasting less than five minutes are classified as momentary, as defined by IEEE 1366. In Figures 12-14, for each utility, the number of occurrences for each cause is divided by that utility's customer count (in thousands) to create an occurrence rate that can be compared across different utility sizes.

The recognition comes from the American Public Power Association (APPA), a trade group that represents more than 2,000 not -for -profit, community -owned electric utilities. APPA helps electric utilities track power outage and restoration data through its subscription -based eReliability Tracker service. Once per year, APPA's Reliability Team compares this data to national statistics tracked by the U.S. Energy Information Administration for all types of electric utilities. "Year after year, data consistently demonstrate public power utilities provide highly reliable service." said APPA Director of Research and Development Paul Zummo. "The utilities recognized here are truly elite when it comes to keeping the lights on. Their communities should be proud of the hard work and dedication of their local power providers as they earn this truly deserved recognition." Nationwide, the average public power customer has their lights out for less than half the amount of time that customers of other types of utilities do. "We are proud to receive this recognition. It is a testament to the hard work of all our staff to ensure that we keep Hutchinson powered," said Jeremy Carter, General Manager at Hutchinson Utilities Commission.

Annually under the purview of the Federal Department of Transportations Office of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) HUC and HCP are required to assess and delineate their HCA & MCA areas, perform a class location assessment, and update imagery on an annual basis. In addition, a constant review, update, and refinement of procedure manuals and programs are needed to stay in compliance with changing regulations. HUC has budgeted for the portion of costs associated with HUC's transmission line. HCP will be responsible for their portion of the costs in order to stay in compliance with the transmission line they now currently own. The total requisition costs are $129,895, of which HCP will be responsible for $34,485.

Assumptions: • This assessment will be completed via remote geospatial analyses; no field verifications will be performed. REA assumes that HUC personnel will complete field verification activities, if deemed necessary. • HUC will incur the cost to acquire updated imagery. In 2024, HUC was able to take advantage of the NAIP satellite passing through Minnesota, which provides very low-cost imagery to the public. Unfortunately, NAIP only passes through Minnesota every 3 years, and class location studies require yearly updated imagery. HUC will need to purchase imagery in the years NAIP imagery is unavailable. REA proposes to locate an appropriate imagery vendor, acquire imagery for H UC's needs, and pass -through these costs. HUC will need —100 sq km of imagery, and costs should range between $18.00-$22.00 per sq km. REA estimates it will cost between $25,000- $31,000 for 2025 imagery. Item 2 — Procedural IManual Reviews & Updates REA proposes to provide the required annual review of the PHMSA-regulated transmission and distribution procedural manuals.

Currently, it is being maintained to appropriate industry standards. However, in consultation with staff and HUC's consulting firm it is recommended that this section of main be replaced and removed from the bridge to ensure safety long-term. HUC is currently working with an engineering firm to initiate the application with the DNR to bore under the river bottom a new main that will be reconnected to the distribution system on the south side of school road bridge. The project timeline is estimated sometime this fall/winter depending on material lead times, permitting, and a boring company doing the work. Requisition 010227 is for the materials needed to complete this project. There is a several month lead time of some of the materials. An additional requisition will be coming at the appropriate time to do the boring work. This project was not identified in the 2025 Cap Ex project list. However, there should be ample CAPEX budget to accommodate this project as there is $423K in the 2025 CAP EX Natural Gas division budget.

This original 3rd phase of the project was a CAPX 2025 project. Additional scope of work to this phase is needed after removing units 3 and 4 exhaust stacks. The brick that was behind those units is in poor condition and needs to be repaired/replaced. This additional work was not part of the CAPX for 2025. There was $40,000 budgeted for the original phase 3 scope of work.
