3. Commissioner Standley made a motion to approve the September 11, 2013 PUC
Commission meeting minutes which was seconded by Commissioner Parkes. The
motion passed unanimously.
II. BUSINESS
1. Water/Wastewater Report:
Ron Rosen reported for Mr. Smaka as Mr .Smaka was away at a conference. Mr.
Rosen reported on the status of the meter replacement program. Mr. Rosen reported
that the purchase of the meters had been approved by the City Council and the funds
had been procured by the State revolving fund. Mr. Rosen reported that this project
went out for bid but the bids received were considered not complete and were
disqualified. Mr. Rosen stated that the original bid process was for the entire purchase
of hardware (meters and remote heads) and installation under one contract. Mr. Rosen
stated that the new bid process is to split the purchase of the hardware (the meters and
the remote reads) away from the installation. Mr. Rosen stated that OMI/CH2MHill
will submit a proposal for the installation portion of the project. Mr. Rosen stated the
new bid process will be going to Council for consideration at a later date.
Commissioner Weese asked if a timetable had been set up for this project. Mr. Rosen
stated that much of the labor portion of the project would need to be sub-contracted
out due to the large number of meters to be installed in a twelve month period. Mr.
Rosen stated that a scope of work has been prepared that will be advertised on behalf
-1-
of the City of Farmington and should have it out on the street within the next couple of
weeks.
Commissioner Hunter asked if there was an advantage to bidding this as a bundle as
opposed to splitting it up, is there a loss of economy of scale and accountability in
terms of having hardware provider in partnership under one bid rather than parsing it
out. Mr. Rosen stated there was actually better accountability by splitting it up. Mr.
Rosen stated that by OMI/CH2MHill being able to do the labor under the existing
contract as an out of scope, OMI/CH2MHill will be able to oversee the installation and
probably forego a lot of unhappy customers if you just have a contractor that is
separate from water/wastewater.
2. Water/Wastewater Operations Report:
Mr. Rosen stated the lake is full. Mr. Rosen stated issues were still occurring with
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and a letter was submitted on September 15, 2013 to the
EPA detailing the findings of the use of salt at hotels. Mr. Rosen reported that only
two hotels were using large water softeners and so this was found non-consequential.
Mr. Rosen stated they were then directed to look at commercial laundries and car
washes and submit findings to the EPA by October 15, 2013. Mr. Rosen stated that a
few car washes were surprisingly using a large amount of salt. Mr. Rosen stated they
will be visiting with car washes about this salt usage and ways they could economize
on this usage.
Commissioner Parkes noted the large spike in the monthly chart and asks if these
spikes are a need for concern. Mr. Rosen stated that these spikes are not unusual. Mr.
Rosen stated these spikes typically indicate a high water event in the river or a spike
from inflow into the wastewater plant. Mr. Rosen stated the spike occurred in
September which was a very wet month.
Commissioner Hunter asked if there are other solids besides salt the EPA is looking at.
Mr. Rosen stated that the correspondence received from EPA Region 6 indicates the
EPA is also concerned about sanitary sewer overflows. Mr. Rosen stated the EPA
would like to see no sanitary sewer overflows, especially where the raw sewage could
go into a water source. Mr. Rosen stated OMI/CH2MHill has an aggressive cleaning
program on the sewer system and it has reduced the overflows to only a few per year.
3. Customer Service Report:
Ms. Nipper reported on the Customer Service statistics for the calendar year
2013(January – September) and the fiscal year 2013-2014 (July – September). Ms.
Nipper stated that approximately 45 families per month qualify and are able take
advantage of the utility assistance program.
Commissioner Parkes asked what the source of moneys is for the utility assistance
program. Ms. Nipper stated that half of the warning tag fee, which is $5.00, is
designated for the utility assistance program. Ms. Nipper stated this money is also
used to assist residents with other city utilities, not just the electric bill.
Commissioner Hunter asked if there were adequate funds generated in this fashion to
adequately assistance customers requesting this service. Ms. Nipper stated the funding
is adequate to meet the needs of the community.
4. Rules and Regulations Update
Ms. Nipper reported that staff met with representatives of the San Juan County
Homebuilders Association to discuss the suggested updates to the Rules and
Regulations. Ms. Nipper stated this meeting was productive. Ms. Nipper stated that
during this meeting an issue arose with Rule No. 6.D.4 which requires more research
so that this rule is more definitively written. Ms. Nipper stated that due to this issue,
the request to forward to the City Council the recommendation to approve the updates
to the Rules and Regulations will be tabled indefinitely.
5. Director’s Report
Mr. Sims reported to the Commission that the City Council approved the first electric
rate increase the Electric Utility has had in 31 years. Mr. Sims stated this increase will
-2-
enable the Utility to move forward with modernizing the system and making the
system more reliable and efficient. Mr. Sims thanked the Commission for its courage
in unanimously recommending the rate increase to the City Council.
Commissioner Standley asked if the City Council vote was unanimous. Mr. Sims
reported the City Council vote was not unanimous.
Mr. Sims asked Mr. McNicol, Generation Manager, to update the Commission on
generation activities. Mr. McNicol reported that the three power plants owned and
operated by the City of Farmington; Navajo Hydrolectric Plant, Animas Power Plant
and the Bluffview Power Plant, have had good reliability performance through the first
nine months of the year. Mr. McNicol stated that at this time the Animas Power Plant
is in a scheduled shutdown for routine inspections. Mr. Nicol reported that a portion of
the cooling tower at the Animas power plant is being removed due to age. Mr.
McNicol stated the other portion of the same cooling tower will have some structural
upgrades as it will continue to be used for the indefinite future. Mr. McNicol reported
that the same contractor will also be executing some thermal performance upgrades to
the cooling towers at the Bluffview Power Plant this month. Mr. McNicol stated the
Navajo Hydroelectric Plant has been offline due to low river flows. Mr. McNicol
stated that when the area gets back into a dryer weather pattern, the river flow will
likely be increased and it will be possible to place at least one of the units back online.
Mr. McNicol stated the units are available for service. Mr. McNicol reported the
Bluffview Power Plant is offline until the end of October. Mr. McNicol stated the
Bluffview Power Plant was scheduled to go offline due to the non-availability of inlet
air heating capability. Mr. McNicol stated it is necessary to pre-heat the air into the
combustion gas turbine whenever it gets below 40 degree Fahrenheit and that is
because at certain temperatures approaching freezing with certain relative humidities,
the potential of ice formation exists at the inlet to the gas turbine. Mr. McNicol stated
there has been a capital project going back to 2012 to replace the unreliable, less
efficient air heating system with a new electric heater style system. Mr. McNicol
stated the power buyers were able to purchase favorably priced replacement power so
there is no negative economic impact to the City by having the Bluffview Power Plant
offline this month.
Commissioner Hall asked if we are buying power cheaper than we are generating it.
Mr. McNicol responded yes. Mr. McNicol stated that the purchase price was affected
by the weather, and time of the year. Mr. Sims commented that the purchase price of
power could change at any time and it is still much better for the Utility to operate its
units.
Commissioner Hunter asked what power is being sold for at this time. Mr. McNicol
stated the replacement power block that was purchased to cover the outage at the
Bluffview Power Plant was made at $43.00 per mWh on peak (16 hours during the
day), and $34.00 per mWh off- peak.
Commissioner Hunter asked whether, if there were reason to believe the Utility had an
extended period of time of low purchase power availability to it, where the Utility
could buy a short term block of purchase power, it might be advantageous to shut
down the Bluffview Power Plant, or is there an engineering reason where the Utility
always wants to run its own power plant. Mr. McNicol responded that in the Utility’s
case, the plant that the Utility would elect to shut down first for economic reasons
would be the Animas Power Plant because its buss bar cost is more like $70.00 per
mWh compared to $50.00 per mWh. Mr. McNicol stated there are reasons why the
Utility would want to have resources online within the system for system stability
purposes.
Mr. Sims stated that there have been occasions in the past where for economic reasons
the Animas Power Plant was taken offline.
Commissioner Hall asked when the last time was when the Navajo Hydroelectric Plant
was maxed out at 32MW. Mr. Sims stated this occurred in 2011.
Mr. Sims reported on the status of the San Juan Generating Station activities.
Mr. Sims reported that the rains in September raised the level of Navajo reservoir by
ten feet.
-3-
Commissioner Hunter encourages the insertion of a bill stuffer in the monthly billing
to demonstrate the upgrades taking place. Mr. Sims stated that Utility staff is
beginning the process of instituting various avenues of communicating with the public
about the happenings within the Utility.
III. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Commission, upon motion duly made and
seconded, the meeting was adjourned.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:14 p.m.
