Additionally, the board unanimously approved the minutes from the April 22 regular meeting and the May 13 special meeting. A contract with Power Engineers for testing and commissioning the Skedaddle Substation was approved for $431,231, along with a $492,888 contract for quality assurance inspection services and construction management. A construction contract worth $5.8 million for the Skedaddle Substation was awarded to Summit Line Construction with a 3-0-1 vote, where Jesse Urionaguena abstained due to a conflict of interest. The board reviewed the Power and Delivery Cost Analysis and decided that rates will remain unchanged.
The board also discussed the results of a recent Customer Survey, provided updates on recruitment and vacancies, reviewed compensation for distributed generation net meter excesses, and received reports from the business manager, general manager, and electric operations manager.
In a closed session, the board conferred with legal counsel regarding existing litigation (LMUD v. William Butler, et al).
