BOARD OF ELECTRIC COMMISSIONERS
MINUTES OF MEETING

PRESENT: Chairman D'pnofrto, Commissioners Dunn, McNair, Mahana,
Commissioner Levine arrived at 7:49 P.M. Electric Manager
John Larch present.
7:30 P.M. Meeting called to order.
Minutes of May 13, 1985, approved. Dunn /McNair VOTED: 4 -0.
7:40 P.M. Ron Moilenan - Auditor's Report
Board went over the financial statements and reports. Mr. Moilenan had compared
the 1983 financial statements to 1984. He noted that the depreciation
fund was not segregated as yet in the department. The Treasurer should
keep it separately, and the Board felt that they should get a legal
opinion on it before making a change. The interim financial state-
ments are now being prepared for the Board. From the computer mapping
we will have a better fixed asset ledger. Mr. Larch should check the -
DPU records from 1970 to get numbers on major items like poles, wires,
etc. It was also suggested to buy out N.E. Telephone's share of the
poles and charge i't back to them to make a profit.
Old Business - Office Manager's Raise
After a short discussion on previous salary increases, the Board took
the following motion.
MOTION: To raise the total salary increase 3% effective July 1, 1985
to $21,000. Mahana /McNair VOTED: 4 -1 Dunn opposed.
Manager's Performance Review
MOTION: To give a 4% increase retroactive to January 1, 1985 to a
total of $44,616. McNair /Levine VOTED: 5 -0.
Street Light Conversion
Mr. Larch informed the Board about the federal funding for the street
light program and how long it would take to get the money for the
conversion. He suggested we go ahead now because of the cost of electricity
being used while waiting for the grant money. This would be more feasible.
MOTION: To go ahead without federal funding for the street light
conversion program and not seek reimbursement. McNair/
Mahana VOTED: 5 -0.
Old Business - Commissioners
Board would like Mr. Jones to go through the financial highlights at
the next meeting. They also suggested sending out the monthly summary
sheets to them. Commissioner Mahana asked if the moving of the office
staff to the plant was included in this year's budget.

He suggested getting a final figure on the cost of the move.
Commissioner D'Onofrio had some suggestions on the planning program for
the 85 budget. The tasks should not be lumped together and should be
separated into four different ones. A copy of the criteria /goals should
be sent to Commissioner Levine.
