First Reading of Ordinance No.043,2010,Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue and Electric Revenue Bond Proceeds
for the Smart Grid Investment Grant Project in the Light and Power Fund and for Bond Issuance Costs.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fort Collins Utilities(FCU) has been selected by the Department of Energy(DOE)for a Smart Grid Investment Grant
(SGIG) award. The proposal and award included participation from the Cities of Loveland, Longmont and Fountain .
for a total award of$36,202,527. The collaboration with the other cities was done to improve the chances of being
selected by DOE—FCU was advised DOE wanted collaborative projects that included larger geographic areas and
integrated funding.
FCU projects proposed to the DOE totaled$31,483,001. The DOE has offered to fund 50%of the proposed projects
($15,741,500). The largest of the proposed projects was for the installation of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure
(AMI) system. In addition to the AMI project, components of the Utilities Information Technology (IT) Long Range
Strategic Plan related to the implementation of AMI and smart grid technology were included in the proposal.
Expansion of the FCU fiber optic system and grid automation equipment was also included in the proposed projects.
The Ordinance appropriates$18,101,264 in unanticipated grant revenues and$15,741,501 in proceeds from the sale
of Electric Revenue Bonds proposed to be issued in Ordinance No. 001 of the Board of the Electric Utility Enterprise,
for the purpose of-funding the Smart Grid project. It appropriates $258,499 for bond issuance costs. These
appropriations are all in the Light and Power Fund.
If this Ordinance is approved on First Reading, staff will bring a resolution to the Council on Second Reading,
authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract with the DOE related to the SGIG and authorizing the City
Manager to enter into partner agreements with each of the project partners: the Cities of Loveland, Longmont and
Fountain, Colorado.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The DOE grant provides Fort Collins Utilities with an opportunity to install an AMI system, accelerate the
implementation of its long range IT needs and to begin the modernization of its electrical distribution system.
Construction, design and operation of the electrical system are fundamentally the same as they were 50 years ago.
Today though,the electric industry,the country and the world are faced with significant issues that are the direct result
of the use and production of energy. Measures to address these issues are creating momentum for change.
Specifically, in relation to the electric utility industry,the issues of greenhouse gases produced through the production
of electricity,the changing expectations of customers and the need to address and insure both the physical and cyber
security of the electrical infrastructure must be addressed. Each of these elements-customer expectations, use of
energy, security and the ability to reduce greenhouse gases-are elements of a smart grid as defined by DOE.
The Department of Energy(DOE)has defined seven principal characteristics as focal points for the modernization of
the existing electrical grid. These key elements are becoming recognized as the definition of a smart grid. The
characteristics are:
1. Anticipates and responds to system disturbances
2. Enables active consumer participation
3. Operates resiliently against attack and natural disaster
4. Provides power quality for the digital economy
5. Accommodates all generation and storage options
6. Enables new products, services and markets
7. Optimizes asset utilization and operates efficiently
April 6, 2010 -2- ITEM 21
The paragraphs below discuss each of these smart grid elements as defined by DOE. Descriptions of"Today's Grid"
and the ideal"Modern Grid" are defined by the National Energy Technology Laboratory, a section of the DOE. Light
&Power(L&P)staff is providing two additional descriptions: a third descriptive element that presents the current status
of"Today's Fort Collins Grid"and a descriptive element that elaborates on"What the SGIG will do for FCU". The intent
is to describe how the Smart Grid Investment Grant will help Fort Collins move towards each of the defined elements
of a smart grid.
1. Anticipates and responds to system disturbances
Today's Grid: Responds to prevent further damage. Focus is on protection of assets following system faults.
Modern Grid: It will self heal by performing continuous self-assessments to detect and analyze issues, take
corrective action to mitigate them and, if needed, rapidly restore grid components or network sections. It will also
handle problems too large or too fast-moving for human intervention.
Today's Fort Collins Grid: FCU's electrical system has an outstanding record of reliability. The almost all
underground system is the envy of other utilities. However, as infrastructure ages, it will become more important to
be able to monitor the health of the system components and predict failures before they happen. Investment in
technology that predicts future failure and reconfigures the grid will need to be made in the future.
Whatthe SGIG will dofor FCU: The transition to a self-healing grid will take years. Technology is currently under
development that will provide the necessary physical control along with the analysis software necessary to solve how
the system should be reconfigured safely and quickly during an event. The SGIG will allow FCU to install
approximately 10 remotely controlled switches on the distribution system. The switches will have the capability to be
controlled from the Light and Power Systems Control and Operations Center(SCO). Control will be manual by system
operators. This will give staff the opportunity to gain experience in the use of remote switching and eventually
automated controls that reconfigure the system automatically. Prior to the award of the grant, UP placed$125,000
peryear in both the 2010 and 2011 budgets for remote switching. The grant will add an additional$125,000 of funding
to the project(DOE: $125,000, FCU: $250,000). Additionally,the grant application included$31,800(DOE: $15,900,
FCU: $15,900)for integration of outage communications from the AMI meters into the existing Outage Management
System (OMS). The project proposal also included funding for additional fault detection equipment on the system to
help identify event locations. (DOE: $50,000, FCU: $50,000)
2. Enables active consumer participation
Today's Grid: Consumers are uninformed and non-participative with the power system.
Modern Grid: The smart grid will give consumers information, control, and options that enable them to engage in
new"electricity markets." Grid operators will treat willing consumers as resources in the day-to-day operation of the
grid. Well-informed consumers will modify consumption based on the balancing of their demands and resources with
the electric system's capability to meet those demands.
Today's Fort Collins Grid: FCU has a robust customer education program. Additionally, the implementation of
the Opower program provides significant information to customers that allows them to better manage their electrical
usage if they choose to do so. FCU also provides several demand response programs for customers to choose to
use. Automated hot water heater control and air conditioning control are offered. A peak demand signal is also
provided to customers to help them choose to control costs.
What the SGIG will do for FCU: In addition to the AMI system,which will provide the foundational technology for
providing information to customers, the SGIG proposal includes two elements that will provide significant support for
the provision of additional information to customers and more demand response program choices for customers.
The grant application included the implementation of a Meter Data Management System (MDMS). A MDMS is a
software package that is designed to help manage and analyze the data collected by smart meters. During the original
cost benefit analysis performed on the AMI system the size of the FCU system and the total cost of a MDMS made
it impractical. However, the funding through the SGIG along with the implementation of smaller lower cost MDMS
systems makes installation more attractive. The total amount included in the application for MDMS was$3,000,000
(DOE: $1,500,000, FCU: $1,500,000).
April 6, 2010 -3- ITEM 21
The SGIG also includes a budgeted amount of$5,314,830 (DOE: $2,657,415, FCU: $2,657,415) for an enhanced
demand response program. The long range IT plan identified the need to upgrade or replace the demand response
software currently used by FCU to send the signal to participating customers'water heaters and air conditioners. In
the nearfuture, FCU's existing software will no longer be supported and the devices used to signal and cycle the water
heater and air conditioning units for customers will become obsolete. The project includes the upgrade of the software
along with an additional 21,000 control devices. However, as staff has worked to refine the projects associated with
the SGIG it has become evident that recruiting new participants in programs with the installation of an additional
21,000 devices over a three year period will be a challenge. The overall intent of the enhanced demand response
programs is to meet the demand response goal of a 5% reduction in peak demand by 2015 and 10% by 2020 as
detailed in the 2009 Energy Policy. Staff is currently reviewing other technologies and customer options to help
achieve the demand reduction goal. Technologies under consideration are thermal storage and system voltage
reduction utilizing the AMI technology for feedback on system performance. Staff estimates that through peak
reduction gained with demand response programs, peak demand charges from Platte River to FCU will be reduced
by approximately$1,260,000 per year.
Recently, several citizens expressed concern in reference to the data Utilities will be gathering with the AMI system
and Utilities control of devices through customers participating in the enhanced demand response programs. FCU
recognizes the importance of customer confidentiality and the level of trust customers expect when providing
information to secure their utility service. Customer records are protected by the FCU Customer Records Policy and
FCU takes measures to ensure its compliance with federal and state regulatory standards. The Customer Records
Policy is attached. The information FCU will be gathering though the AMI system is similar to the data currently
collected for billing purposes. The primary difference is the frequency of the collection. Rather than monthly,the utility
will be capable of reading meters every few minutes. The intent is to have the data available for the customer to help
them better monitor their costs and usage and to enable customers to make better decisions about their usage. The
existing demand response system has been in place since 1982 for electric water heater control and since 2007 for
air conditioner control and has only been installed for customers who have volunteered for the program. Load control
through the enhanced demand response programs in the SGIG will be voluntary programs just as they are today. It
is expected that air conditioner control will be accomplished through an in-home thermostat(IHT) that will allow the
customer to cancel a load-control request, should they wish to do so.
AMI meters will also lay the path to allow consideration of dynamic rate structures such as Time-of-Use(TOU),Critical
Peak Pricing (CPP)and other rates. A cost of service study is currently underway in Light and Power. Once the cost
of service study is completed, the utility will begin rate conversations with Council, the Electric Board and the
community. Any changes in rate design will include a transition period appropriate for the change being considered.
3. Operates resiliently against attack and natural disaster
Today's Grid: Vulnerable to malicious acts of terror or natural disasters.
Modern Grid: The Smart Grid will incorporate a system-wide solution that reduces physical and cyber vulnerabilities
and enables a rapid recovery from disruptions. Its resilience will create an image that intimidates would-be attackers.
It will also be less vulnerable to natural disasters.
Today's Fort Collins Grid: As noted,the reliability of the FCU electrical system is well above national standards.
The high reliability is due to the responsiveness of electrical crews when a problem occurs,the design standards used,
and the Council direction that all lines should be underground.
The other arena where security is of significant concern is cyber security. The control systems and communication
infrastructure that is used throughout the system must be secure from hackers. FCU is not required to comply with
North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)standards. However,
FCU's goal is to comply with those design standards. FCU currently does not completely meet all of the NERC-CIP
standards and had planned and budgeted for several projects in the 2010-11 budget to help move toward compliance.
What the SGIG will do for FCU: The SGIG provides $208,820 towards the implementation of cyber security
enhancements. Security enhancements were budgeted at$385,000 in the 2010-11 budgets. The SGIG will provide
funding at 35% ($208, 820) of the total project cost. The intent is to bring the Utilities smart grid infrastructure into
compliance with NERC-CIP design standards. Although FCU is not required to comply, it is prudent to adopt the
standards as they apply to a distribution system. FCU is not required to, and will not, report to the NERC,which is the
most onerous component of the CIP standards.
April 6 2010 -4- ITEM 21
4. Provides power quality for the digital economy
Today's Grid: Focused on outages rather than power quality problems. Slow response in resolving power quality
issues.
Modern Grid: It will monitor, diagnose, and respond to power quality deficiencies resulting in a dramatic reduction
in the business losses currently experienced by consumers due to insufficient power quality.
Today's Fort Collins Grid: FCU currently receives relatively few power quality complaints from customers.
Typically, power quality problems are associated with either internal issues within a facility, or interference from
adjacent properties.
WhattheSGIGwilldoforFCU: As Fort Collinsmovesforwardandlargernumbersofdistributedgenerationunits
are connected to the FCU system, it will become more critical to monitor power quality. The SGIG proposal included
a project to install waveform recording equipment to monitor high speed events on the system and to install meters
capable of recording high speed electrical events at our largest customer sites. The proposed project is$400,000
(DOE: $200,000, FCU: $200,000)
5. Accommodates all generation and storage options
Today's Grid: Relatively small number of large generating plants. Numerous obstacles exist for interconnecting
Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
Modern Grid: It will seamlessly integrate all types and sizes of electrical generation and storage systems using
simplified interconnection processes and universal interoperability standards to support a "plug-and-play" level of
convenience. Large central power plants including environmentally friendly sources,such as wind and solarfarms and
advanced nuclear plants, will continue to play a major role even as large numbers of smaller distributed resources,
including Plug-in Electric Vehicles, are deployed.
Today's Fort Collins Grid: As with most electrical distribution systems the FCU electrical distribution system was
designed to be a one-way power delivery system. Small generation resources such as solar panels and small wind
turbines can feed electricity back into the grid. At current levels these distributed generation resources have not
created any issues. However, as we look to the future and envision solar panels becoming cost competitive or lower
than the cost of energy supplied by the local utilities, it becomes evident that the electrical distribution infrastructure
could serve a role for which it was never designed. The grid could become a two-way channel for electrical delivery
and sales. Additionally, the use of the energy stored in plug-in-hybrid-electric-vehicles to stabilize the intermittent
generation from some resources will also tax the existing system.
What the SGIG will do for FCU: Installation of the AMI system will provide feedback to the Utility on current
system conditions. This Information can then be used to analyze the system and in some cases help manage how
and when distributed energy resources feed into the system. With customer consent, plug-in-hybrid-electric-vehicles
could be used as stored energy devices. When the energy stored in a vehicle is needed to supplement the grid or
level the production from intermittent resources, the utility could contract with customers to purchase the power from
their vehicles.
6. Enables new products and markets
Today's Grid: Limited wholesale markets still working to find the best operating models. Not well integrated with
each other. Transmission congestion separates buyers and sellers.
Modern Grid: The Smart Grid will link buyers and sellers together—from the consumer to the Regional Transmission
Organization(RTO). It will support the creation of new electricity markets from the home energy management system
at the consumer's premise to technologies that allow consumers and third parties to bid their energy resources into
the electricity market. The Smart Grid will be transactive and will support consistent market operation across regions.
Today's Fort Collins Grid: Utilities within the state of Colorado do not currently trade through an RTO or
Independent System Operator(ISO)model for wholesale electricity sales today. The DOE's intent with this smart grid
April 6, 2010 -5- ITEM 21
component is to insure that information from either an RTO or ISO(if developed) is flowing to the retail customer and
that they then have a choice on their cost of wholesale electricity.
What the SGIG will do for FCU: The installation of a communication infrastructure including the optional home
area networks proposed in the FCU AMI system will support the development of new product and service options that
can be delivered via the system to consumers.
7. Optimizes assets and operates efficiently
Today's Grid: Minimal integration of limited operational data with Asset Management processes and technologies.
Siloed business processes. Time based maintenance.
Modern Grid: Operationally,the Smart Grid will improve load factors,lower system losses,and dramatically improve
outage management performance. The availability of additional grid intelligence will give planners and engineers the
knowledge to build what is needed when it is needed, extend the life of assets, repair equipment before it fails
unexpectedly,and more effectively manage thework force.Operational,maintenance and capital costswill be reduced
thereby keeping downward pressure on prices. ,
Today's Fort Collins Grid: FCU is currently in the process of implementing an Asset Management program.
The intent of the program is to help inventory utility assets, assess infrastructure condition and plan for maintenance
and replacement through risk-based modeling.
What the SGIG will do for FCU: The AMI system will be a communication system that provides information on
the operation and health of components on the system. The enhanced information will allow FCU to manage and
schedule maintenance of the system more efficiently and respond to outages more quickly. Workforce efficiency will
also improve if outages can be avoided and problems addressed through scheduled maintenance.
PROJECT EXECUTION PLAN
During the interim period between the announcement of the intent to award the grant and now,a team of City staff has
been working to refine the tasks proposed in the original grant application. The table below provides a general
summary of the tasks associated with the project.
Staff is currently developing Request-for-Proposal (RFP)documents for a Project Manager/Integrator to assist with
the project. The intent is to hire a consulting agency with experience tying the different components of the project
together in order to insure a seamless integration between our existing systems and the new.
Staff is also in the process of preparing RFP's for the AMI system, the MDMS system and for a Cyber security
evaluation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
It is estimated the following annual operational savings can be achieved by Light and Power through the installation
of an AMI system:
• Labor and operational expenses for meter reading $495,755
• Meter accuracy and registration $347,944
• Theft from manipulation of meters $268,225
• Load control (avoided demand during PRPA peaks) $185,760
• Labor dedicated to move-in/move-out and meter changes $ 28,410
• Purchase of Xcel data for rate design 35,574
TOTAL $1,361,668
In addition to the annual savings above FCU also sees a significant one-time savings related to improved cash flow
achieved by reducing the lag time between meter reads and billing. The one-time benefit is approximately$1,600,000.
April 6, 2010 -6- ITEM 21
As noted above, staff did anticipate some additional load control benefit in the original AMI project benefits. However,
in the SGIG grant proposal a considerable expansion of the program is anticipated. The operational savings from the
enhanced demand response projects will reduce utility and customer costs by approximately an additional$1,074,240
annually.
Calculating the payback period using the values above and a 3.5% interest rate the entire $31.5 million investment
has a pay-back of just over 13 years. The pay-back is just over 7 years for the $15.7 M cost to the City.
It is more difficult to apply a cost recovery model to the remaining smart grid elements proposed in the SGIG. Many
of the benefits gained will enhance operational reliability and performance and improve customer interactions with the
utility.
As detailed above, the total project cost submitted to DOE was $36,202,527. The project cost of the City of Fort
Collins is $31,483,001; Fountain's project cost is$4,247,000; Loveland's project cost is $300,000; and Longmont's
project cost is $172,526. The DOE will provide 50%funding for each of the projects. In order to process the grant
funds, the DOE matching funds provided to each of the other cities along with the total Fort Collins project cost must
be appropriated by City Council. Staff and the Electric Board are recommending the Council approve an appropriation
for the project totaling$33,842,764. This will be offset with SGIG grant revenue of$18,101,264. A Fort Collins Utilities
match is proposed to be funded through the issuance and sale of Electric Revenue Bonds, which will be considered
on First Reading by the Electric Enterprise Board on April 6, 2010. In addition to the appropriation for the SGIG
project, the proposed appropriation ordinance appropriates$258,500 in the Light and Power Fund for bond issuance
costs.
A table summarizing the appropriations follows:

Light and Power Fund.
April 6, 2010 -7- ITEM 21
SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS
The SGIG supports a future where customers can choose the option of being engaged in the management of their
energy usage and cost.Distributed generation(such as solar panels)is prevalent throughout the electrical system and
customers can choose to contribute to the reduction of the use of fossil fuels in electrical generation. In addition, a
future where Fort Collins' electric grid better supports customers having plug-in hybrid electric vehicles or electric
vehicles can also help further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. More efficient operation and maintenance of the
electric grid, as well as the ability for Utilities to reduce or eliminate the fleet of meter reader vehicles through
automated meter reading will reduce emissions.
In order to deliver the services and provide the support that our customers deserve and will require in the future, it is
critical that FCU begin modernizing the electrical system. Modernization begins with the implementation of AMI. Prior
to the SGIG, AMI provided a positive business case because of its inherent operational savings in the meter reading
operation. The SGIG funding enhances the scope and scale of the projects Utilities can accomplish as we begin to
implement smart grid technology.
One of the primary social impacts, as described in some of the items above, will be the opportunity for Utilities to
improve on its relationship with customers. Many of the primary interactions that customers currently have with
Utilities' staff will be enhanced with information available from, and operating flexibility provided by, the SGIG. A
customer calling in to request electrical service at an existing location can be provided electrical service immediately
(using computerized control of the meter) by the customer service representative receiving the call without the need
to dispatch a technician, saving the customer time and the Utilities labor and transportation expenses.
Since the electrical grid will be able to identify problems as they occur and then dispatch a repair crew if necessary,
a customer calling in to notify Utilities about an outage can be given the status of the problem and an approximate time
for repair. If a customer calls to report an outage in an area that has not been identified by the system as having a
problem, the customer service representative can "test" the customer's meter remotely in a matter of seconds to
determine if the problem is on the Utilities' system or is a problem on the customer's side of the meter. These
enhanced abilities to address customers' issues in a more timely fashion should enhance customers' trust in their
Utilities.
Currently, Utilities uses a staff of meter readers and a group of vehicles to collect information necessary to bill
customers for utility service. A significant portion of the savings in this project justification is the reduction in force,
and related support expenses, related to automating the meter readings. The positions affected by this project have
been identified and the individuals in these positions notified thattheir positions will be affected by the implementation.
Efforts are underway to work with these individuals to find alternative positions in Utilities and/or to retrain these
individuals for other careers. Any vacancies that occur in the affected positions prior to the completion of the project
will only be filled on a contract basis as necessary.
This projectwill not add a significant number of new positions to Utilities staff or directly provide additional employment
in the community. However,as more customers learn about their options for energy savings, it is anticipated that the
demand for additional weatherization contractors and energy efficiency consultants may increase.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinances on First Reading.
BOARD/ COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its February 3, 2010 meeting, the Electric Board voted unanimously to recommend that City Council approve the
appropriation of funds.
April 6, 2010 -8- ITEM 21
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The proposed project includes extensive customer education and engagement. The intent of the project is to make
information and data available to customers to allow them to make informed decisions related to their energy usage.
Critical to the success of the program is making the customers aware of the information and tools thatwill be available.
The excerpts below were the elements proposed in the original grant application
"Information Availability to Customers
The Utilities' Smart Grid Web sites will provide the means for customers to track energy usage by
logging onto the "AMI Meter" Web page. This information will be linked to tips regarding how to
conserve and information about efficiency programs, rebates and incentives. Customers who
participate in the load management program will be provided with useful information through their in
home displays, in-home thermostats, water heater control switches, and other preferred
communications media such as text messages, online accounts or e-mails.
A Fort Collins Smart Grid project Web site will provide for information sharing between all utilities in
Colorado.Online information regarding Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont and Fountain's projects will
enable others to see the benefits of the Smart Grid.
Customer Outreach and Operations
Customer outreach and education are two of the utilities' fundamental operational principals. Fort
Collins' outreach program will inform customers of progress toward sustainability goals and offer
transparency for utility decisions. Fort Collins will provide information and education on Smart Grid
technologies as well as their impacts on customers and the distribution system. The utilities'
organizational messaging will emphasize the importance of the technology to support great service
and the customer's role in demand side management, load control and energy conservation.
The utilities have robust marketing, communications and education programs in place to support the
success of Smart Grid. All communications, including call center functions are managed in-house,
providing a continuum of customer-facing services. Customer communications can be coordinated
through a variety of tools including:
• Bill inserts
• Web site (including City Web sites)
• Weekly electronic newsletters and city newsletters
• News releases to local print media
• Coordinated residential, commercial and key accounts support
• Targeted communications for specific areas of program implementation such as meter
installation, deployment of in home displays, efficiency and renewable energy, etc.
• Well-established education programs (Q&A sessions/seminars) including fact sheets
distributed at city facilities
Many business process changes will be required prior to the deployment of the Smart Grid. The
following are a few of the key processes the Utilities will review: new cyber security standards and
procedures, service switch procedures, service restoration, reliability reporting, power system
operational status reporting and posting, customer outage notification methods, real time operation
of the T&D system, asset management strategies with the availability of more accurate and timely
data on the status of the system will all need to be redesigned. The Utilities will establish a change
management plan to drive results in each deployment stage."

V. Responding to Record Inspection Request
Except for verbal requests for routine and clearly identified records that can be quickly
and efficiently produced for immediate inspection or copying, all requests for inspection or
copying of public records must be in writing and must be specific as to the record requested.
When a request is received to inspect a customer's records, it shall be responded to in one of the
following ways.
3
1. If the record requested is not in the Utilities' custody or control, the person making
the request shall be promptly notified verbally of this fact, and in writing if requested
by the person, which notification shall state, if known, the reason for the absence of
the record, the location of the record, and what person has custody or control of the
requested record;
2. If the record requested is in the Utilities' custody or control, but the person requesting
the records is not entitled under Section II of this policy to inspect the record, the
person shall be promptly notified verbally of this fact, and, if the request was made in
writing, the response shall be made in writing. The notification shall state that the
person is not entitled to inspect the record under C.R.S. Section 24-72-204(3)(a)(IX);
3. If the record requested is in the Utilities' custody or control, readily available, and not
subject to other confidentiality restrictions, and the requesting person is entitled under
this policy to inspect the record, the record shall be promptly given to the person; or
4. If the record requested is in the Utilities' custody or control, is not readily available,
and the requesting person is entitled under this policy to inspect the record, the record
shall be given to the person within three(3) working days after the request, unless

prepare or gather such records within three (3) working days; or
b. The request is broadly stated encompassing all or substantially all of a large
category of records and Utilities staff is unable to prepare or gather such
records within three (3) working days because Utilities staff needs to devote
all or substantially all of its resources to meet an impending deadline or period
of peak demand either unique or not predicted to recur more frequently than
once a month.
VI. Fees and Charges
Fees and charges for making copies, searching and retrieving records, certifying records
shall be consistent with the Fort Collins City Clerk's Public Record Policy, as amended.

Smart Grid Investment Grant Project and Appropriation
Excerpt from approved Electric Board Minutes, February 3, 2010
Mr. Catanach presented information on the appropriation of funds for the Smart Grid
Investment Grant Project. The State has allocated $5 million in Qualified Energy
Conservation (QEC) bonds. Staff anticipates moving forward with revenue bonds to
raise the remaining $10.7 million in matching funds. A significant component of the
project has been dedicated to the enhanced demand response program at a total cost of
$5,478,197, including installation of 21,000 load control elements across three years.
This is an aggressive goal to manage such a large number of installations over this time
frame, so staff is currently exploring other opportunities for demand response programs.
The water component is not part of the Smart Grid Investment Grant or meter project, but
the Water Utility will derive a great benefit in security and communications.
Staff will seek an appropriation from Council for the entire project. The funds will pass
through the City of Fort Collins as administrator of the Department of Energy (DOE)
grant. Staff will seek $33,842,764 in the appropriation, which is the figure without the
matches from the cities of Loveland, Longmont and Fountain.
Motion: In light of the $15.7 million DOE matching grant, Board Member
Wolley moved the Electric Board recommends that City Council approve the
appropriation of funds in the sum of approximately $33,842,764 for the Smart
Grid Investment Grant project. Board Member Bihn seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion: It passed unanimously.
