Re : Dist ict Heating Development Company Fiscal Year 1 87
Prop sed D mand Charge
Staff have com leted analysis of the FY87 proposed demand ch rge
and conclude t at th amended demand charge rate is just and �
reasonable. We recom end that the City Council should approv the
amended rate.
This �ate case has r ised or highlighted a number of matters
concerning the regul .tory relationship between the City and HDC.
It has also br ught o the surface a number of issues which
should be purs ed fu ther.
This memorandu ther fore is in three parts: first, a discus ion
of the issues nvolv d in regulation of DHDC; second, inform tion
regarding the mende demand charge and the staff recommenda ion
for approval ; nd th rd, information and recommendations
regarding unre olved issues.
. R GULATORY AUTHORITY AND ROLES
Authority_to_R �ulat
The parties disagre as to the. authority had by the City Cou cil
to regulate t e rat s of DHDC , and the role to be played by he
City in the re ulatory process. Both positions have author ' ty in
the law, and heref re may require �udicial interpretation �or
definitive re oluti n. , •
. � '/ V`r�l` �� .

DHDC - is of� th opin on that the franchise, Hot Water Delive y
Agreement, an Paym nt and Priority Agreement together are a
contract betw en th City and DHDC which provides all details of
the regulator rel tionship. DHDC asserts that once it files a
request for a rate hange, it has a prima facie case that t e
request would result in a just and reasonable rate. DHDC sserts
that the City must hen approve the� rate unless it can sho that
the DHDC Boar of D ' rectors has abused its discretion. DH C
asserts that legal principle known as the "business judg ent
rule" provides the Board with very broad authority. The C ' ty as
regulator ca ot i vade the �udgment process unless an abu e of
discretion or bad f ith can be shown by substantial eviden e by
the City. An rgume t used by DHDC is that unless other cu tomers
complain, th City is powerless to act to refuse approval f the
rate request d.
.The •position f the City is that a contract exists between the .
, parties outl ned i the documents noted above. It is our belief �
that the pow r to r gulate is a very broad power , defined s the
police power. The ontract only provides limits when thos
limits are s ecifi d; e.g. a limitation allowing for eithe
approval or eject on of the requested rate, not allowing or
modification f it. -In-this view DHDC must°prove-with det il-ed
substantial viden e that expenses requested� are' for items used
or useful - by the u ility in its current business-within-th
requested period, t is presumed that municipal officials act in
good faith, nd th burden would fall upon DHDC to show a ack of
good faith or arbitrary action, if the City were to deny a rate
request .
The difficul y in etermining which parts of each position are
correct stems from several sources. First, DHDC asserts t at,
since it is nonprofit corporation, rate of--return to
shareholders does ot apply to the process. DHDC further sserts
that this is the m jor issue in utility regulation, and th t
possibly non of th regular utility regulation concepts a ply to
the relation hip b tween the City and DHDC. Second, witho �"'
detailed leg slati n such as that which exists for the reg lation
of utilities by th Public Utilities Commission, each issu is
sub� ect to d bate nd differing interpretation. Finally t e
Yelationship is fa rly new and is a constantly evolving pr cess
that needs r defin ng by its very nature.

An example of a robl m created by a lack of legal authority s
DHDC's request t have information provided to the City
classifie ' as c nfide tial to avoid a loss of competitive
advantage. The r con ern appears to have some merit, at leas in
the abstract. n an ttempt to meet this need City staff agr ed
to a very- 'restr ctive provision concerning the use of data, a
provision�'which in an of itself made �this review proces�'
-�cumbersome. In our o inion DHDC took advantage of this agree ent
and over-classi ied i formation', but the issue is one that mu t
be dealt ith i more detail.
Complexit of_t e_Rol s
What is the rol of t e City in the DHDC rate regulation proc ss ?
1 . Protector of cu rent customers from rates that are the
resu t of an abu e of discretion?
2 . Prot ctor f bon holders to ensure the -ability of DHDC t .
pay ff all obl gations- it chooses to enter into?
Which bond older ?
3 . Protector f def rred franchise fees, to pay them as qui kly
as possibl ?
4 . Prot�ctor of the City as a customer with unique needs?
5 . Prot�ctor of the .present? Of the future?
The conce�ns a e more than esoteric, and the answers are unc ear.
The City' s goa s also may be complex:
1 . Should we try t compel DHDC to raise the rates as much as
poss ' ble o it an repay existing debt more quickly?
2 . Shou d w comp 1 the lowest rate possible and require
a sk leta oper tion so that current customers get
real'ly ch ap en rgy?
3 . Should we accep DHDC rates without question and let D DC
do anythi g it ishes?
The questiions re ne rly as endless as the answers are elusi e.

In this rate cas , sta f have assumed that regulators have to
balance a variet of c mpeting legitimate interests. Thus rat s
should provide t e uti ity with adequate revenue to meet its ebt
service obl�igati ns an reasonable expenses incurred in provi ing°
utility se vice. Prese t customers should be protected from- -
excessive �ates nd fu ure customers protected-from- deteriora ed
service . '
Achievements
What' s bee ' acco plish d in the FY87 rate process?
A substant' al sa ings has already taken place in the revised
energy and dema d cha ges approved this year. DHDC "customers
will be paying ess t an they would have if the rate as
originally file had een approved - - and less overall than- hey
did last year.
Both sides�have ident fied staff � to work on the rate process and
the curren sta fing evels and personalities seem to be wor ing
out well. Both sides removed their lawyers from the review
teams , which in all 1 kelihood resulted in a much shorter
process . �
2 . R COMME bATION ON THE FY 87 DEMAND CHARGE
Procedura _Hist ry
DHDC filed notice of intent to change its rates on July 18 , 1986 ,
and filed the ates n September 19. The rates took effect
October l on a inte im basis subject to refund.
Customers were notif ' ed in writing of proposed rate changes , and
customer �neeti gs we e held on September 4 (downtown) and
September 10 ( t. Ai y) .
Preliminary an lysis showed that the requested energy rate could
be decrea�ed, ased n changes which had occurred since the
filing. �HDC greed to reduce the rate and that rate was
approved by th Coun il on November 13.
. � �� �����
December 17 , 19 6 '
Page 5
The demand'�rat'L was r viewed by staff initially on the basis f
information sub itted by DHDC and more recently under terms o
the October 8 m moran um of understanding.
On December 10, a com romise was reached on the demand charge
DHDC agreed to submit a reduced demand charge based on intere t
rates for the f ' rst q arter lower than anticipated. The
compromise was evelo ed in a cooperative fashion. While ther
were other issues of concern to City staff, as discussed in t e
third section o this emorandum, they do not warrant a
recommendation o den the proposed demand charge as amended.
Customers were otified of the proposed amendment to the dema d
charge on Decem er 11. The public hearing on the demand charg
originally sche uled or December 16, has been rescheduled fo �
December 23.
This process com lies ith all procedural requirements of the
franchise and th � Hot ater Delivery Agreement. . �
Findings_of_Fact
1 . DHDC origin lly roposed a change in the demand charge from
$2.57 per k lowat of contract demand per month to
$3�:11/kw/mo th, a =rate- increase of 21$.
2 . The amende dema charge would be $3.05/kw/month, an`^�18
'increase. H wever, customers have been billed at the
$3.11 rate n an interim basis beginning October 1. To
avoid re-billing and calculation of refunds for October
and Novemb r, th amended rate is $3.11 for those two
months and $3.04 ffective December 1.
3 . DHDC said t at ch nges in operating costs were the reaso
for the in rease. In addition, earliest customers'
contract de and 1 vels have been re-evaluated,
resulting i abou a 10� net reduction in overall
demand.
4 . The propose amen ment is based on a change- in"interesti�-�
rates'.
�--1���

� December 17 , 986 '

5 . Proposed overa 1 FY87 rates are lower than those p�ojected
for 1987 in tae original feasibility study, becausa of
substant ' all_: ower fuel costs, lower debt service
costs ,- a d- sc�e aflditional revenue sources. Howeve=,
�,DHDC gen ral a d administrative costs and operatiors
and main ena��e °expenses are higher than projec�ed---in
1982; - du to a variety of factots.
6 . Coverage ratas are higher than the target rates specified in
the Paym nt a�d Priority Agreement, so franchise faes ,
estimate by �HDC at $596 ,005 , should be deferred.

Discussion
Interest payme ts on Series A bonds were budgeted at an ave:a e
variable rate of `.7 $. The actual average rate for tae =irst
quarter is 4$ , res-;1 ing in a savings of $133 ,000.
• There �may��be a dit`_o al interest savings. City Treasu:er
Gary Norstrem aic o December 9 that the variable bond =ar::e
normally foll ws �ie federal funds rate. In the current 'Puol c
Investor," sev n e=o omists project that the federal funcs �a e
will either s ay t:e same or take a slight drop from Jan�ar•:
through Septem er �f 1987. If this occurs, total""FY��87" Series �A�°

Th��"propose'�d dem nd ch rge amendment does- not reflect all- thes ?�-
.. .possible �savings -for hree reasons:
1 . ,..These•�savin s are partially offset by additional planned
� expenses-�an - lowe demand related �revenues than were
� incluced in the b dget. These include more- contract.
demand redu tions, higher uncollectibles , - lower
deferred fr nchis . fees � (due ' to lower rates) ;-� higher

distr;butio ' syst m expenditures.
2 . The �aximu proj cted savings are not guaranteed. First

quart�r FY 7 Ser es A interest rates are the lowest of
any qU�arter since 1983.

DHDC Finance Dir ctor udy Brynolfson said he reviewed budget
guideli�es with he Bo rd in May, and subm?tted the budget in
June according t thos guidelines. The guidelines included su h
things ss rate i creas s not exceeding two-thirds of the
inflaticn rate a d spe ific expense guidel:nes such as keeping
number cz employ es an consultant costs t':e same as the previ us
year .
At various time , som FY 87 budget items have been compared t
midyear FY ' 86 ex endit res, and others to the FY 86 budget. Fo
example, e�nploy es we e compared to FY 86 actual numbers (no
change) anc� insu ance as compared to FY 86 budget amounts
(substa�:ti 1 in rease).
The Board onito s the budget through the budget year by perio ic
. actual -:s udge repo ts. Spending v.ariances occur without Boa d
approva: u Iess a par icular variance is daemed to be material.
. They are e plai ed to the Board as part of the finance report.
A ma� or re�lloc tion ue to FY 86 interest. savings was present d
� by mana�em�nt to the B ard last spring and was approved. I_t
included increas d exp nditures for plant reliability and
efficieacy and ncreased marketing and R�D expenses.
Recommer_dations - - Bud et Process
1. The DHDC Bo rd sh uld use additional targeted standards o
performnnce in e alua ing budgets. These should include long
range as well a shor range factors and eaternal benchmarks s ch
as comparisons ith ot er systems. For example, DHDC should
track fLnd' bala ce as well as cash flow from year to year. DH C
shoul d sub}nit t the ity information on t�ese standards and
their azplicati n as art of the rationale for rate changes.
2. ThE B ard s ould establish and use prsset guidelines in
making hud et c anges for increases or deczeases in costs or
revenues, HDC s ould list and provide detailed rationale for
each change to he Ci y during rate reviews.
�
' " ' � ,F� �-�G��
December 17 , 198

3. The budlget p esented should be compared with the previousl
adopted budl,get w th c?� ges in personnel and direction clearly
explained. 'There shoul be a clear trail showing the original
adopted budget, han�e during the year, and the next year's
budget .
S stem Im roveme ts

At the downtown ustom r meeting DHDC President Hans Nyman sai
that the first g al oi he board was to have high reliability nd
a high level of servi e. M�. Nyman stated, "We are there now. he
plant is in tip- op sh pe,' and added that it has fewer outage
than other distr ct �e ting systems.
However, t ere a e scb tantial budget increases for system
improvemen s; fo exam le, the FY 87 budget proposes plant
. maintenanc expe ditLr s up 298 from the FY86 budg.et and 16$ •
. higher tha FY86 pro,;e ted actual expenses. � �
System exp nse 1 vels lso are substantially higher than '
projected n the origi al BHDC feasibility study. DHDC staff s y
more upgrac�ing i bein done than was projected in 1982, and t at '
these expetlditur leve s szould continue for the next five yea s.
In additio�, DHD mav se its repair and replacement reserve f r
emergency impro emen=s
DHDC Operations irect r Tom Wetsch said that reliability and
plant cost redu tion p ojects are classified on an A-C scale,
reviewed with t e Boar , aad funded on the basis of their rank
and dollars ava' labla. Pa-rback analysis is given on plant
efficiency impr veme� s.
Recommendation - -_SYst m Isprovements
DHDC should con ider h ndl:ng system improvements on a project
basis from' conc ptior_ o completion to facilitate understanding
budget imp cts, arge_ rel�ability measures and maximum paybac
periods fo eff' ciency improvements should be adopted to assess
acceptable expe diture levals. This information should be
included in the ratio ale for rate changes submitted to the C ty.

The Saint Paul Port uthority and Department of Planning and
Economic De-rel pment strongly encourage participants in thei

Therefore, aom mark ting activities are done in addition to DHDC
expenditures .
Recommendiation ___Ma keting
--------- -- -----
The DHDC ISoard shoul consider questions such as the followi g:
.
��.. Is the M rketi g Director position, which has been vac nt
;<<� for so�e ime, ecessary?
2;: Is t e FY 7 mar eting increase reasonable in view of t e
` � othe,r �ar eting activities taking place?
3 ; How !,will he su cess/failure of this program be measure ?
'•'�!_4: Should th mar eting expense include both staff additi ns
" � and su�st ntial provisions for consultants , when there
might be rosso er in their functions?
Insurance
DHDC's Dece�be 1 br akdown showed plant insurance at the Ju e ���
budget amountr f $39 ,000. On December 8 , in response to a C ty
request to see DHDC oard meeting minutes, DHDC provided Oct ber
information wh ch me tioned that the previously projected
$170�000�'incre se- wo ld not occur, and plant insurance rates
would be about the s me as last year.
Recommen ation - - In urance
--------�----- ----- ------
When sub tanti 1 cha ges occur between the time the annual budget
is prepa ed an rate are reviewed, DHDC should promptly dis lose '
these -ch nges o the City.

Dear Mr. Olson:
Pursuant to the ot Wa er District Heating Franchise and previ us
notices filed Jul 18, 1986, September 19, 1986, and October 2 , 1986,
District Heating Devel pment Company hereby files an Amendment to its
October 24, 1986 end d Schedule A. The rates filed herewith will be
used for all bills for hot water service beginning with the bi ling
month of Decembe , 198 , and will remain in effect until super eded.
All other aspects of t e previous filings remain in effect, in luding
the Affidav�.t of Compli nce with Council Resolution 85-919. I order
to supplement the cust er information on this reduction in th Demand
Rate, we intend t pro ide mailed notice to DHDC customers of he
scheduled D�:cembe 23, 1986, Public Hearing before the City Co ncil of
the City of Saint Paul . The purpose of that Public Hearing is
consideration of he De and Rate for final adoption as the 198 Demand
Charge Rate.
This action is pa t of he routine annual rate adjustment proc ss as
envisioned by the Franc ise and the Hot Water Delivery Agreeme t.
Based on extensiv coop ration, disclosure, discussion, and re iew
with city represe tativ s, the Demand Charge is reduced to ref ect
unanticipated int rest ate changes that are the result of une pected
volatility in the finan ial markets.
Please contact Ru y Bry olfson at 297-8955, or William Mahlum t
292-1661 if there are a y concerns.
Very uly yours,
