GM Hunter reported to the Board that a committee had met with Energy Pioneer Systems regarding providing energy audits and a financial mechanism for financing improvements to BPW customers.  GM Hunter reported that a contract had been received from Energy Pioneer Systems and that it was being reviewed by the City Attorney.  Energy Pioneer Systems had requested copies of the energy usage by BPW customers and after consultation with the City Attorney, GM Hunter did not feel like the information could be provided without a signed waiver from the customers.  Discussion was held but no action was taken on this issue.

Accounting & Finance Manager (AFM) Melissa Sierks presented to the Board the 2011 Budget Reconciliation required by State Statute due to the Water Department exceeding its budget on expenditures by 48.84%.  AFM Sierks explained that this exceeding of the budget was due in large part to paying off the clearwells loan in the amount of $528,000.  AFM Sierks also presented Budget Reconciliations for the Electric and Waste Water Departments.  Member Glenn made a motion to accept the Budget Reconciliations and submit them to the City Council for approval at their February 23rd Meeting.  Member Gulizia seconded the motion.  Roll call:  those voting aye – Glenn, Gulizia, Kubik, & Wilson.  Vice - Chairman Kubik declared the motion carried.
