Chairman Bilda called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. and noted today’s meeting was being
held to discuss the draft pro forma for all the assets. He introduced Michael Rall, CMEEC
Director of Asset Management who explained that per the CMEEC Risk Management Policy,
CMEEC is required to update the pro formas for each of CMEEC physical assets (Pierce,
Microgen, and Market DG) and Transmission Project #1 every two (2) years. He provided an
overview of the pro formas and discussed assumptions made. He highlighted projections made
through end of asset life including revenue, expenses and net benefit. Comparisons to previous
pro formas were also made relative to cumulative net benefit and return on investment. The pro
formas were provided to the participants.
Mr. Rall walked through the individual pro formas for MicroGen, Pierce and Market DG
providing high level detail of the assumptions made relative to revenues/avoided costs; expenses
and operations.
Discussion followed regarding conducting an analysis of the Pierce Plant to determine its future.
Alternate Member Representative Debora Goldstein inquired whether a formal recommendation
of the future of Pierce Plant would be required to be made to the Board of Directors. It was
determined that the Risk Management Committee members would conduct an analysis based on
further analysis and present its findings to the Board of Directors. Mr. Rall added the time
frame for conducting such an analysis and reporting any findings regarding a recommendation to
the Board of Directors would be approximately two months.
There being no further business to come before this Committee, Committee Chairman Bilda
