STAFF REPORT
TO: Board of Public Works
Brian Newton, Utilities General Manager
FROM: Jody Sanders, CPA, Director of Finance
DATE: April 3, 2017
SUBJECT: Statement of Operations and Net Position for February 2017
Recommendation: Review Statement of Operations and Net Position for February
2017
Background: The financial and operating statements for February are presented for
your review. This month represents the five-month mark of the City’s fiscal year, or
41.6% of the budget.
One recurring theme for 2017 is the change in recording administration costs. Expenses for Customer
Service, Executive Management, Accounting/Finance, Information Technology, Human Resources and
Warehouse are being accumulated differently to allow for budgeting and monitoring for these
departments individually. The result for the Board’s financial reports is only that Payroll in Dollars activity
for these departments stay in the Electric Fund for the Finance Activity report. The Administration
expenses remain split predominantly 50% City, 20% Electric, 7.5% each for Water and Sewer and 15%
Gas funds, with certain exceptions on the Board’s reports.
One other change is including deprecation in the calculation of production cost per unit of sales in the
Electric, Water and Sewer Fund reports.
Fiscal Impact:
Electric Fund:
Finance Activity: Year to date (YTD) this fund has rebounded a bit and recognized a
positive 15.6% of the Change in Net Position budgeted for the fiscal year, but still
behind last year YTD (30.7%). Off system sales have slowed, but are $1,066,870 more
than last year to date. For February alone, overall consumption was down eight
percent, with residential revenue down $153,000. This decrease is also reflected in fuel
cost behind last year’s mark as well. Other expenses are within budgeted amounts for
the year except for Administration, due to an increase in bond interest on the ACQS
project bonds. February 2017 overall is close to February 2016 results. On a year-to-
date basis, October 2016 included the vacation and sick leave payouts to both the
former Director of Electrical Engineering and the Utilities General Manager, which effect
YTD numbers all year long.
E-1: Production reports reflect the increase in Off system sales, with increased
generation and fuel use year to date. Month to month is fairly stable. Note that the coal
inventory volume is modest for February.
E-2: Cash balance increased more than $1 million in February, as the first train of coal
was received in February, but payment was not made until the first week in March. One
million dollar CD was also cashed during February, but that only moves the balance
from Unrestricted CD Investments to Cash.

Statement of Operations and Net Position for February 2017
April 3, 2017
Water Fund:
Finance Activity: YTD this fund has recognized 34.1% of the budgeted Change in Net
Position for 2017, compared to 32.7% last YTD. Revenues were flat in February. YTD
expenses for departments came in under budget. Bond interest (included in A&G and
Nonoperating expense) decreased $11,000 from the prior year due to bond refundings
that resulted in lower interest rates.
W-1: February total water pumped was virtually that same as last year. We continue to
monitor the production versus sales data, and find that this month the difference of 6%,
with 8% of unexplained difference year to date. 12-month rolling average production
moved to $0.37 due the addition of production depreciation.

with commercial revenue strong in February, up $15,000 from February 2016. YTD
Nonoperating revenue increase is from the compost turner grant proceeds of $298,000.
Expenses are all within budget, with interest savings on refunded bonds assisting.
S-1: Volumes are down 4.6% year to year, with the 12-month rolling average costs at
just under $1.50 per 1,000 gal of input. Cash and investment balances decreased
$167,284 in February impacted by the $368,500 payment to HDR Engineering.
Gas Fund:
Finance Activity: As we’ve discussed in Board meetings previously, this fund’s bottom
line bounces throughout the year, improving the year to date loss by $683,000. Large
volume revenue was $159,000 greater than the prior February. Expense categories
came in at or below budget, with the exception of a $932,225 YTD increase in gas
purchase expense at 21.7%
G-1: The inventory level was higher in February compared to the prior year, with gas
prices continuing upward. Cash balance increased $385,766 in February as we
collected for the gas sold in January that was withdrawn from storage.
The Utilities’ Statement of Net Position shows each fund’s net position (sometimes
referred to as “reserves”) and the restrictions on net position.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Board of Public Works
FROM: Brian Newton, General Manager
DATE: April 5, 2017
SUBJECT: Affirmation of emergency declaration and authorize repairs to the Derril
G. Marshall Generating Station gas compressor
________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation: Approve the affirmation of emergency declaration for the Derril G.
Marshall Generating Station gas compressor repairs and authorize staff to issue purchase
orders and sign required documents for the expenditures.
________________________________________________________________________
Background: Fremont Municipal Code Section 3-325 (5) requires expenditures over
$30,000 be approved by the Mayor and City Council unless waived by the General
Manager or Chairman of the Board of Public Works when an emergency is declared.
Should an emergency be declared, the declaration must be affirmed by the Board of
Public Works at its next Board meeting and shall be part of the Board minutes.
Due to significant repairs required to return the Derril G. Marshal Generating Station gas
compressor back to service on a timely basis, I declared the repairs an emergency. While
the expenditures will be approved by the Board after the repairs are complete and the unit
is returned to service, the appropriations for the repairs were not bid nor were the
expenditures approved in advance. Thus, the Board is required to affirm the emergency
declaration and subsequent repair expenditures.
Fiscal Impact: Estimated cost of repairs is $100,000 to $175,000.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Board of Public Works
FROM: Jeff Shanahan, LDW Plant Superintendent
DATE: April 5, 2017
SUBJECT: Change Order to Emerson Process Management & Water Solutions (Emerson) (U8
Exciter Project)
Recommendation: Authorize Change Order #1 for U8 Excitation Transformer Overcurrent
Protection
BACKGROUND:
The City of Fremont Department of Utilities contracted with Emerson to provide a new
excitation system for U8 generator. The project includes the exciter, removal of the
existing system, installation and commissioning of the new system.
After review of the proposals from other bidders, LDW requested that Emerson provide a
solution for overcurrent protection of the new excitation transformer and a price. The
existing excitation transformer is protected in a zone; the new excitation transformer will
also be in that same zone of protection and in addition will have overcurrent protection
with this modification.
LDW staff recommends that the Utilities Board of Public Works approve the change order
to Emerson for the amount of $15,900.
Fiscal Impact: FY 16-17 $15,900

Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) Summary
Source:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the Lead and Copper Rule
(LCR) in 1991, and the Nebraska Department of Health & Human Service (DHHS)
adopted the Safe Drinking Water Act in 2012. Implementation of this Act is a critical
component of DHHS’s efforts to protect public health and ensure the safety of our
community’s drinking water. The following information outlines how the LCR is
implemented and identifies ways for the public to find information about the quality of its
drinking water.
• The LCR has four basic requirements:
1. Require water systems to optimize their treatment system to control corrosion
in the distribution system and the customer’s plumbing;
2. Determine tap water levels of lead and copper for customers who have lead
service lines or lead-based solder in their plumbing system;
3. Rule out the source water as a source of significant lead levels; and
4. If lead action levels are exceeded, the water system is required to take
additional actions, which may include:
a. Developing and implementing a plan to optimize corrosion control in the
finished drinking water;
b. Educating their customers about lead and suggesting actions they can
take to reduce their exposure to lead through public notices and public
education programs;
c. Replacing the portions of level service lines under the system’s control; and
d. Offering to replace lead service lines under their customers’ control at an
equitable cost to the customer.
• The LCR requires water systems to monitor at least every 3 years. Some water
systems monitor more frequently. The water system selects the sites based on
criteria set out in the rules. The criteria for the lead and copper sampling sites are:
1. Tier 1 sites-These sites include single-family structures containing lead pipe or
plumbing, are served by a lead service line, or contain copper pipes with lead
solder and were constructed after 1982.

[PAGE 37]
2. Tier 2 sites-These sites include buildings and multiple family residences
containing lead pipe or plumbing, are served by a lead service line, or contain
copper pipes with lead solder and were constructed after 1982.
3. Tier 3 sites-These sites include single-family structures containing copper
pipes with lead solder which were constructed prior to 1983.
• The LCR prescribes a specific sampling protocol for water systems to utilize for
collecting lead and copper samples at a residence or business (see below).
1. Tap monitoring (collecting a water sample from a faucet) for lead and copper
shall be the first draw and one liter in volume.
2. The water shall stand motionless in the plumbing system for at least six hours
prior to collection. Pre-stagnation flushing shall not be performed.
3. Collection shall be from the cold water kitchen tap or bathroom sink tap from
tier 1 sites or from an interior tap typically used for obtaining water for
consumption from tier 2 and tier 3 sites.
4. Aerators shall not be removed from taps or cleaned prior to or during the
collection of samples.
5. Wide-mouth bottles shall be used to collect samples to allow for a higher flow
rate during sample collection, which is more representative of the flow that a
consumer may use to fill a glass or water.
6. Monitoring may be conducted by the resident after proper instructions and
procedures have been provided by the water system.
7. Follow up tap monitoring shall be conducted from the same sites.
8. Should a site no longer be available, an alternate acceptable site may be
selected which is in reasonable proximity of the original site.
9. Taps used for monitoring may not include faucets that have point of use or
treatment devices installed.
• EPA published a memo clarifying recommended tap sampling procedure for the
LCR on February 29, 2016, to provide recommendations on how public water
systems should address the removal of cleaning aerators, pre-stagnation flushing,
and bottle configuration for the purpose of the LCR.

Sample Customer Lead Pipe Letter
First Last
Address
City, State Zip
Dear Customer and/or Property Owner,
Our records indicate that your home is one of the several hundred homes in the City that
have a lead-alloy water pipe between the City’s water main and the curb stop (see
diagram below). Lead alloy water pipes were installed in the early to mid-1940s during
World War II.
To be sure your drinking water does not contain unsafe levels of lead, we are offering to
test your drinking water for lead at no cost to you. As part of the test, we will furnish you
with a container to collect a sample and provide you with free test results.
Testing for lead is not new, the City has randomly tested drinking water for more than ten
years. Results have been between zero (0) and three (3) parts per billion, well below the
Federal and State action level of 15 parts per billion. To ensure everyone’s drinking water
is safe from lead, we are expanding the testing program to include all homes with lead-
alloy water pipes.
Testing is one option. If you would rather have the City replace the lead-alloy water pipe, we
are offering to share the cost of replacement with you. An estimated cost of replacement is
$2,000, of which your share would be one-half. You are NOT required to replace the
pipe. We simply want to let you know that replacement and cost sharing is available.
If you want to learn more about lead-alloy water pipes, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Extension, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources has a good guide concerning lead
in drinking water. Here is the link: http://extensionpublications.unl.edu/assets/pdf/g1333.pdf
Please let me know if you would like to participate in the testing program or if you are
interested in replacing the pipe. Also, if you have any questions, please call me at 402-727-
2821 or email me at Larry.Andreasen@fremontne.gov.

Sample Customer Tap Collection Procedures
Fremont Department of Utilities (FDU)
402-727-2600
Revised Version: April 2017
Water samples are being collected to determine the lead and copper levels in your tap
water. This sampling effort is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and
Nebraska Department of Health and Human Servoices under the Lead and Copper Rule,
and is being accomplished through collaboration between you (our customer) and he
Fremont Department of Utilities.
To collect the sample, please collect the sample from a tap that has not been used for at
least 6 hours. To ensure the water has not been used for at least 6 hours, the best time to
collect samples is either early in the morning or in the evening upon returning from work. Be
sure to use a kitchen or bathroom cold water tap that has been used for drinking water
consumption in the past few weeks. The collection procedure is described below.
1. Prior arrangements will be made with you, the customer, to coordinate the sample
collection. Dates will be set for sample kit delivery and pick-up by FDU staff.
2. There must be a minimum of 6 hours during which there is no water used from the tap
where the sample will be collected and any taps adjacent or close to that tap. Either
early mornings or evenings upon returning home from work are the best sampling
times to ensure that the necessary stagnant water conditions exist. Do not intentionally
flush the water line before the start of the 6 hour period.
3. Use a kitchen or bathroom cold-water faucet for sampling. If you have water softeners
on your kitchen taps, collect your sample from the bathroom tap that is not attached to
a water softener or a water filter, if possible. Do not remove the aerator prior to
sampling. Place the opened sample bottle below the faucet and open the cold-water
tap as you would do to fill a glass of water. Fill the sample bottle to the line marked
“1000-mL” and turn off the water.
4. Tightly cap the sample bottle and place in the sample kit provided. Please review the
sample kit label at this time to ensure that all information contained on the label is
correct.
5. If any plumbing repairs or replacement has been done in the home since the previous
sampling event, note this information on the label as provided. Also if your sample was
collected from a tap with a water softener, note this as well.
6. Place the sample kit in the same location the kit was delivered to so that FDU staff may
pick up the sample kit.

7. Results from this monitoring effort and information about lead and copper will be
provided to you as soon as practical but no later than 30 days after the system learns
of the tap monitoring results. However, if excessive lead and/or copper levels are
found, immediate notification will be provided (usually 1-2 working days after the
system learns of the tap monitoring results).
Please call Fremont Department of Utilities at 402-727-2600, if you have any questions
regarding these instructions.

Sample Customer Notification Letter
Consumer Notification of Lead Tap Monitoring Results
The Fremont Department of Utilities (FDU) appreciates your participation in the lead and copper
tap monitoring program. This letter is to report the lead and copper results from the sample
collected at your residence, on ___________ ____, 20___.
Action Unit of 90th Results at Compliance
Contaminant
Level Measurement percentile your home Violation?
Lead 0.015 mg/l <0.005
Copper 1.3 mg/l <0.050
Under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) set the Action Level for lead in drinking water at 0.015 mg/l (milligrams per liter) and
the Action Level for Copper at 1.3 mg/l. The Action Level is the concentration of a
contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a public
water system must follow.
Important Health Information about Lead
As a public utility, FDU must ensure that water from the customer’s tap does not exceed the
Action Level for lead in at least 90 percent of the homes sampled (90th percentile value).
Because lead may pose serious health risks, the EPA also set a Maximum Contaminant
Level Goal (MCLG) for lead of zero. The MCLG is the level of a contaminant in drinking
water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. The MCLG allow for a
margin of safety.
Some individual homes may have higher levels of lead concentrations, while the 90th
percentile value for the entire Fremont water system is below the Action Level. High lead
levels may be due to conditions unique to the individual home, such as the presence of lead
solder or brass faucet, fittings and valves that may contain lead. FDU strives to keep the
corrosion level of our water as low as possible (corrosive water can cause lead to leach
from plumbing materials that contain lead). Additionally, there are actions you can take to
reduce your exposure. We strongly urge you to review the enclosed Fact Sheet and take
the steps listed to reduce your exposure to lead in drinking water.
If you have questions please contact Larry Andreasen at 402-727-2821.
Sincerely,
Larry Andreasen
Director, Water Department

Lead Awareness and Drinking Water Questions & Answers:
What is lead? Lead is a naturally occurring metal that is harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Lead can be
found in air, soil, dust, food, and water.
How does lead get into my drinking water? Lead has not been detected in Fremont’s water supply
nor in the water flowing through Fremont’s distribution system. Instead, lead can get into your home’s
drinking water in several ways. The most common is through corrosion or a dissolving or wearing away
of the pipe alloy caused by a chemical reaction between water and your plumbing. It can also leach into
drinking water from pipes, solder, fixtures, faucets (brass) and fittings. The amount of lead in your water
depends on the types and amounts of minerals in the water, how long the water stays in the pipes, the
water’s corrosiveness, and water temperature.
Where would a lead-alloy pipe be? As shown in the picture below, the pipe from the corporation stop
to the curb stop is likely lead-alloy pipe.
If I have a lead-alloy pipe, is my water safe to drink? Yes, samples from homes with lead-alloy
pipes have been far below Federal and State limits.
Should I continue to monitor lead levels in my home or should I replace the lead-alloy pipe? You
are free to choose either method and you are not required to replace the pipe.
How can I reduce my exposure to lead in my drinking water? There are ways including running
your water to flush out lead if your water hasn’t been used for several hours; always use cold water for
drinking, cooking, and preparing baby formula; do not boil to remove lead as boiling will not reduce
lead; consider investing in a home treatment device certified under NSF/ANSI 53; and identify and
replace fixtures containing lead.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Board of Public Works
FROM: Jeff Shanahan, LDW Plant Superintendent
DATE: April 5, 2017
SUBJECT: Excess Generation Capacity
Recommendation: Discuss selling excess generation capacity
BACKGROUND: The City of Fremont, Department of Utilities operates four electric
generating units with the nameplate rating of 153.3 MW. The peak Fremont net demand
for 2016 was 93.87 MW. Utilities that serve load are required to have a certain
percentage of generation greater than the load that is being served, this is called
capacity.
Fremont has approximately 48.1 MW of generation capacity above Fremont’s demand
requirement including required capacity. This gives Fremont the ability to offer
generation capacity to other utilities that are short on generation.
SPP currently does not have a capacity market; capacity agreements are currently
conducted similar to a bilateral energy agreement between one utility and another. SPP
is also reviewing the percentage of required capacity a utility must have, that percentage
is currently 112% peak load.
Fremont has been offered an agreement for some of the excess capacity. These
agreements can be only capacity (no energy) or capacity and energy. The term of the
capacity agreements are negotiable and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis,
depending upon Fremont’s generation and actual demand.
Fremont also will have 40 MW of generation from the Cottonwood Wind Farm project,
which os expected to go online in the fall of 2017. SPP currently allows 5% of the
nameplate rating on wind farms until they have developed a historical operating pattern.
Once that historical data is set by SPP, excess capacity from Cottonwood could be
greater than 5%. Based on the 5%, the Cottonwood farm will add 2 MW of additional
excess generation capacity.
Until, an agreement is received, this item does not require action by the Board of Public
Works. Any agreement to sell excess capacity will be brought to the Board and City
Council for approval.
