Consideration of a change in the District's electric rate structure is within the purview
of the Board of Directors.
2. HISTORY
On February 17, 2010, the Board authorized modification of the District's contract with
HDR Engineering, Inc. to include additional scope of services for HDR to prepare a
Residential Electric Rate Restructuring Study. The Study was to include presenting
alternative rate structure options and to review and comment on the District's
commercial customers' current rate structure.
At the April 7th workshop, Shawn Koorn presented to the Board the results of the
Residential Electric Rate Restructuring data analysis including three alternative rate
structures. The Board asked Mr. Koorn to further explore offering a low income rate
structure and its impact on rates.

the Board relating to electric rate structure options and to review and comment on the
District's commercial rate structure.
