Yield Model and Drought Response Plan Ms. Nairn reminded the Board that Ms. Hoag from the Bureau of Reclamation had previously presented the Yield Model as a discussion item. Ms. Nairn stated the draft plan has been presented and discussed with all three cities. Mr. Arthur stated that although the District does not have the model, it is expected to be received soon. Mr. Arthur then gave an overview of the draft plan, outlining three elevation-based reduction triggers, the associated reduction methods and amounts, and the conditions for easing those reductions. The proposed reductions and their associated elevation triggers are a 10% reduction at 1033’, a 20% reduction at 1031’ and a modeled reduction starting at elevation 1029’. There was also a discussion about having a policy of communication to the cities to proactively inform them of any pending reductions. Discussion followed, and it was noted that additional meetings with the three cities may be necessary to further refine the plan. Mr. Arthur stated he is hopeful the written Yield Model and Drought Response Plan will be ready for Board consideration within the next couple of months. Ms. Nairn, along with the rest of the Board, expressed appreciation to Mr. Arthur for his hard work on this matter. 3. Treasurer’s Report Mr. Ballew asked if there were any questions and then requested that Mr. Arthur explain how power expenses and the corresponding reimbursements from the three cities are reflected in the Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet. Mr. Arthur explained that, due to the timing of invoicing, payment, and accrual accounting, power expenses are recorded in the month they are incurred, invoiced to the Page 2 of 4 cities the following month, and paid afterwards. As a result, related entries appear across multiple accounts. Account 5017, Service and Safety Awards, reflected a $9,964.00 increase, attributed to employee longevity and safety bonuses.
