premium prices.
7C. Homer O&M Agreement - Brad Janorschke
Mr. Janorschke presented the group with HEA’s request to have a 5-year renewable instead of
a year-to-year Agreement. The 5-year Agreement would be easier for HEA in regards to
planning and training. HEA is requesting a 5-year Agreement and change the year to 2007.
After discussion, the Chairman said that the group who would be tasked with looking this
Agreement over would bring back something to the BPMC in 60 days. Each utility will have one
person designated to perform the review and report back. Chair Stewart will have someone

8. COMMITTEE REPORTS
8A. Operators Report / Update on Governor’s Modification Project— Charlie O’Hare
Mr. O’Hare gave an overview of an update handout, which included budget information,
available spin limit, and power and fiber cable replacement — the report states that the Bradley
governor project is 95% complete. There was some discussion as to the total expenditures and
Mr. O'Hare said he will have the total expenditures to date at the next meeting.
He also stated that the O&D recommends the BPMC rescind the present limits on Bradley Lake
spinning reserve in favor of new limits and/or use requirements developed by the IOC Dispatch
Subcommittee when they have been finalized. After some discussion, Mr. O’Hare said he
would take this back to the O&D Committee and re-address it.
The issue of the power and fiber cable replacement was discussed, with the emphasis being on
the over projected project cost of $200,000. HEA will provide a budgetary update at the next
BPMC meeting to include a budget amendment request, if required.
HEA will have Rick Baldwin review and approve the construction contract bid selection. After
approval, they will be forwarded to the BPMC Chair.
8B. NEXT MEETING DATE
The next meeting date will be in February at the call of the Chair.

Mr. Carey reported that during the week of July 10, 2006, the FERC inspection and Part 12
inspection, as well as the Potential Failure Modes Analysis (PFMA) discussions/meetings were
held at HEA. Most of the discussions involved the PFMA and the history of Bradley and
potential problems. Bradley came out as having more calcite than what the inspectors have
seen in other dams. There is a small amount of corrosion down the diversion tunnel, which will
be monitored. Seismic movement for Bradley, that was approved by FERC in a record decision,
is a greater amount of movement than what FERC normally approves. The discussion came up
of why Bradley could have greater seismic movement than other dams. It has been proposed
that the tunnel drains which are accessed from the outside be cleaned out next year.

recommendation was to find a way to fund $20M. Mr. Posey added that the group should look
at the cost of borrowing or a letter of credit for $20M from either AIDEA or someone else vs. the
cost of insuring it. The group agreed to revisit this item at the next meeting with more
information becoming available from the underwriter and Mr. Cunningham, also adding to that
AIDEA’s look at how they would help fund the $20M. Mr. Carey clarified that it is Alaska Energy
Authority that owns it and not AIDEA.
7D. RENEWAL & CONTINGENCY FUND REDEPOSIT PROCEDURE - MACMILLAN
Ms. MacMillan gave a brief overview of the procedure, stating that this was a proposed
housekeeping tool so that the movement of cash matches the budget plan.

7F. LEGAL MATTERS - (2 motions) CARMONY
First Legal Matter
Motion #06-8: Mr. Carmony moves that the legal services provided to the BPMC by
AterWynne be terminated and that an offer be extended to the firm of Davis Wright
Tremaine to be retained as interim counsel to the BPMC. Seconded by Mr. Janorschke
for discussion.
Mr. Carmony’s concern is that there is commingling legal advice across the boundaries of
various organizations. Mr. Haagenson stated that on the IOC everyone has their own attorneys,
and the IPG is the same. Mr. Carmony added it may be time to terminate their services and
obtain a firm that the group is all convinced can provide advice to the group. His research
directed him to the firm of Davis Wright Tremaine as a recommendation for an interim counsel,
hence the termination of the firm of AterWynne and extend an offer to Davis Wright Tremaine.
Mr. Carey stated that the firm of Davis Wright Tremane could have a problem with in the sense
that there would be conflict of interest, and asked if there were any other firms that could be
used. Mr. Haagenson added that this group has a right to pick their own attorney. AterWynne
is the present attorney by letter agreement. If the move is made to Davis Wright Tremaine, he
recommended finding another attorney, adding that it may involve extending the search out of
state.
Mr. Carmony amended the motion to read: Move we terminate the services of AterWynne
and have the Chairman begin immediately to identify and employ or retain an interim
counsel until such time as something can be brought to the board for a more permanent
arrangement. Seconded by Mr. Janorschke for further discussion.
Mr. Haagenson stated that terminating before employing could be a big mistake and to use
caution if the group proceeds this direction: lt might be worth further amending Mr. Carmony’s
motion to say we. are looking at replacing AterWynne with someone else, and let this group do
an evaluation to find a replacement and do the action at the correct time. Mr. Carmony stated
that if that was a suggested amendment, he would second it.
Mr. Carmony stated that we have made the decision to pursue new counsel and are going to
authorize the Chair to do that investigation and bring a recommendation back to the group. Mr.
Haagenson restated that he is not authorizing getting new counsel — rather, going out and find
someone to replace them and once we have them and pick them, then we will replace them.
Mr. Janorschke further amended the motion to include a timeline of the end of the year
2006.
Chair Stewart agreed to making the assignment and a timeline. The Chair will bring back
recommendations to the next BPMC meeting with a decision at the following meeting by the end
of the year.
A voice vote was taken and the motion was passed by unanimous approval.

Second Legal Matter
Motion #06-9: Mr. Carmony moves that the Chairman promptly inform the utility
members of the BPMC of all work assigned to the BPMC attorney. Further, that all work
products, including drafts of the attorney be distributed to each utility at the same time it
is turned over for review to the Chairman. Seconded by Mr. Janorschke for discussion.
It was agreed that the wording “including drafts” will be removed from the above-stated motion.
A roll call vote was taken and the results were as follows:
City of Seward No
Matanuska Electric Association: Yes
Chugach Electric Association: No
Homer Electric Association: Yes
Golden Valley Electric Association: No
Anchorage Municipal Light & Power: No
Alaska Energy Authority: Yes
7G. LETTERS FROM AEA - HAAGENSON
Mr. Haagenson presented three letters:
Letter from Bryan Carey to Steve Haagenson dated June 13) 2006
Letter from Steve Haagenson to Bryan Carey dated July 17, 2006
Letter from Ron Miller to Steve Haagenson dated July 25, 2006
He stated the two points the letters reference — request for bond counsel for work that they did
and request for backup for the other part of the invoice.
Mr. Bjorkquist noted that the concern that AEA has with the invoice that was given is the
description didn’t describe what was done sufficiently to know that it was related to the
operations of Bradley as opposed to something else. Reviewing bond documents — what was
the purpose, what was intended, why was that being done. Multiple things are going on
amongst the utilities with respect to Bradley and other issues — including possible divestiture.
That is not related to operating Bradley, and if that is what this legal review is for, it’s
inappropriate to be passed through the Bradley budget. That is fundamentally the question that
AEA asks — what was being done with this, what’s the work, so that AEA knows. The second
part about requesting the work product that came from that, in the past, you have shared work
product with AEA, and that is a very efficient way to operate. If there is a common
understanding of how things work, things work much better. What was intended was if this is
something that you believe is appropriate to share with us, share it so that we don’t have to
duplicate the work effort to come to our own conclusion on the very same issues. AEA asks for
clarification that it’s appropriate within Bradley operations as opposed to outside Bradley
operations into something that would be inappropriate to pass through the Bradley budget.
The role that we suggest AEA plays is a minimal role and the only question that we ask related
to that is to obtain assurance that what you are invoicing through the Bradley budget, passed
through to every ratepayer in the railbelt, is related to Bradley operations and not something
else. You are exempt from regulation for Bradley, not from anything else. When the last fiscal
Bradley Lake Project Manz, 1ent Committee Meeting July 26, 2006
Page 6 of 6
years budget was approved, there was a request to put in $150,000 for formation of a joint
action agency, which is unrelated to operating Bradley — it has to do with the potential
divestiture of Bradley. The Bradley budget is inappropriate for that and for AEA just to ask for
clarification that the invoices relate to Bradley and Bradley operations is a minimal intrusion into
the prerogatives of the BPMC.
Chair Stewart asked that there be more use of phones and less use of letters to resolve these
issues.
8. COMMITTEE REPORTS
8A. OPERATORS REPORT —- UPDATE ON GOVERNOR MODIF. PROJECT — O’HARE
Mr. O’Hare gave a brief overview on the project update handout dated July 26, 2006. The
overview included items accomplished, major problems encountered and expenditures to date.
He stated that construction was completed on Unit 1 as of May 13, 2006 and have started
testing, which was put on hold on May 18, 2006 due to a divider issue. The modifications for
that divider issue were completed on July 6, 2006, and testing for Unit 1 was completed on July
10, 2006. The testing proved the new design has improved the operation of the Unit. Unit #2
construction started on July 12, 2006. Expect construction to be complete on August 8, 2006,
followed by testing of both units on August 16, 2006.
Some of the major problems encountered include a deficiency in the design of the hydraulic
system that precluded the dividers to operate at the required speed of 1.1 seconds. That
mandated that VA TECH go back and do some redesign and hydraulic upgrades, which caused
a delay and a change order to the initial contract.
During construction of Unit #1 some problems with the linkage were found, including pitting and
galling. VA TECH has corrected these problems with Unit #1 and just found that Unit #2 has the
same problems. It has resulted in change orders to the contract and a bit of a delay. During
testing of Unit#1,.it was discovered that the new hydraulic system was not strong enough to pull
the dividers out of the:stream during four and six needle operations, resulting in VA TECH going
back and redesigning the. profiles of the dividers so that the force factor angle was changed to
allow the present hydraulics, to be able to pull the dividers out of the stream.
8B. NEXT MEETING DATE
The next meeting date will be at the call of the Chair.
9. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 a.m.

Independent Auditor's Report
Bradley Lake Project Management Committee
Anchorage, Alaska
We have audited the accompanying special-purpose balance sheets of the Bradley Lake Project
Management Committee Operating and Revenue Funds (a project management committee) as of
June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related special-purpose statements of revenues and expenses,
and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Bradley Lake Project Management Committee. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying special-purpose financial statements were prepared for the purpose of
complying with, and in conformity with the accounting requirements specified in Note A, and
are not intended to be a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In our opinion, the special-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the assets, liabilities and surplus of the Bradley Lake Project Management
Committee Operating and Revenue Funds as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and its revenue,
expenses and changes in surplus and its cash flows for the years then ended, on the basis of
accounting described in Note A.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Bradley Lake Project
Management Committee and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
this specified party.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006 and 2005
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business: The Bradley Lake Project Management Committee (the Committee)
was established pursuant to Section 13 of the Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Electric
Power (Power Sales Agreement) dated December 8, 1987. The purpose of the Committee is to
arrange for the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project (the
Project), which became operational in September 1991, and the scheduling, production and
dispatch of power. The members of the Committee include the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA)
and the five purchasers under the Power Sales Agreement - Chugach Electric Association, Inc.;
Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc.; the Municipality of Anchorage (Municipal Light &
Power); the City of Seward (Seward Electric System); and the Alaska Electric Generation &
Transmission Cooperative, Inc. (AEG&T). The Homer Electric Association, Inc. (HEA) and the
Matanuska Electric Association, Inc. (MEA) are additional parties to the Power Sales Agreement
but are included as power purchasers for purposes of representation while AEG&T has no direct
vote as a consequence of the individual representation of HEA and MEA.
Section 13 of the Power Sales Agreement delineates other Committee responsibilities, including:
establishing procedures for each party's water allocation, budgeting for annual Project costs and
calculating each party's required contribution to fund annual Project costs. Committee approval
of operations and maintenance arrangements for the Project, sufficiency of the annual budgets
and wholesale power rates and the undertaking of optional Project work requires a majority
affirmative vote and the affirmative vote of AEA.
The Power Sales Agreement extends until the later of: 1) 50 years after commencement of
commercial operation or 2) the complete retirement of bonds outstanding under the AEA Power
Revenue Bond Resolution along with the satisfaction of all other payment obligations under the
Power Sales Agreement. Renewal options for additional terms exist.
Establishment of Trust Funds: Article V, Section 502 of the Alaska Energy Authority's Power
Revenue Bond Resolution established a Revenue Fund and an Operating Fund, including an
Operating Reserve account, to be held by AEA. In actuality these funds, along with the Debt
Service, Excess Investment Earnings (arbitrage), and various construction funds related to the
Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project are all held by the Corporate Trust Department of US Bank
in Seattle, Washington.
BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2006 and 2005
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
All deposits, including utility contributions and interest transferred from other funds, are made
into the Revenue Fund, which transfers amounts approximately equal to one-twelfth of the
annual operating and maintenance budget into the Operating Fund on a monthly basis.
Additional transfers are made from the Revenue Fund to the Debt Service Fund in order to
satisfy semiannual interest payments and annual principal payments on the Project's outstanding
bonds payable.
Interest earnings available for operations and maintenance are derived from the following funds:
Debt Service Fund; Operating Reserve Fund; Operating Fund; Revenue Fund; Capital Reserve
Fund; and the Renewal & Contingency Fund when the fund balance is $5,000,000 or greater.
Revenue and Expense Recognition: Utility contributions are recognized as revenue when due to
be received under the terms of the Power Sales Agreement. Transfers from other funds are
recognized when the transfer is made and interest earnings are recognized when received.
Operating and maintenance expenses are recognized when incurred, while interest and principal
transfers to Debt Service Fund are recognized when the transfer is made. Purchases of fixed
asset replacements are expensed when purchased. Transfer to the Renewal and Contingency
Reserve Fund (R & C) for repayments of capital costs is recognized at fiscal year end based on
capital costs incurred as of fiscal year end.
Estimates: The preparation of the special-purpose financial statements of the Operating and
Revenue Funds requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes: The Bradley Lake Project Management Committee is exempt from income
taxation under Section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
NOTE B: INVESTMENTS
Substantially all of the balances in the following funds are invested in collateralized investment
agreements through the trust department of US Bank. The specified interest rate for monies
from the Operating and Revenue Funds invested in the agreements is 7.38% per annum.
Balances at June 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Investments are sold as needed to cover operating requisitions submitted to the trustee and are
therefore considered to be short-term and available for sale. Investments are presented at
aggregate cost, which approximates market value.
For purposes of the cash flow statements, management considers the full amount of the
investment balance to be cash available for operations.
NOTE C: MAJOR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS
During May 1994, the Alaska Energy Authority entered into the Master Maintenance and
Operating agreement with the Committee. The purpose of the agreement is to establish contract
administration and budgeting procedures for maintenance and operation contracts of the Bradley
Lake Hydroelectric Project and to provide for the lease or other use of facilities and equipment
in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Power Sales Agreement. The term of the
Master Agreement is indefinite, remaining in effect until termination of the Power Sales
Agreement or until AEA no longer legally exists. This agreement authorizes AEA to enter into
any contracts necessary to perform operating or maintenance-type services to the Project, subject
to the approval of the Committee.
On behalf of the Committee, the AEA entered into an agreement with Chugach Electric
Association, Inc. (CEA) in August, 1996, for the provision of all services necessary to dispatch
the Bradley Project's electric power output. The dispatch agreement runs concurrently with the
wheeling and related services contract entered into by and among the parties to the Power Sales
Agreement in December 1987 and remains in effect for the term of the wheeling agreement
unless CEA ceases to be the output dispatcher.
In August 1996, the Alaska Energy Authority entered into an agreement with CEA on behalf of
the Committee for the provision of maintenance services for the Daves Creek and Soldotna SVC
Substations.

NOTE C: MAJOR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS (Continued)
An operation and maintenance agreement dated February 11, 1994, was executed between
Homer Electric Association, Inc. and the Alaska Energy Authority. This agreement provides for
the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project by Homer Electric
Association, Inc. The agreement is through June 30, 2004 and continues from year to year
thereafter, except upon written notice to terminate by either party. Notice of termination must be
given one year in advance of the termination date. HEA is to be reimbursed for costs associated
with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project as determined in advance through the
submission of an annual budget based upon prudent estimates and anticipated operation and
maintenance costs. In August, 1996, the agreement was amended to separate the maintenance of
the transmission facilities from the hydroelectric project. The transmission agreement continues
from year to year, except upon written notice to terminate by either party. Notice of termination
must be given six months in advance of termination dates. In June, 1999 the agreement was
again amended to require HEA to provide communication services in addition to the other
services.

BRADLEY GOVERNOR PROJECT UPDATE
The Bradley governor project is essentially 95% complete.
1. All of the hardware modifications have been completed.
2. The program software is in place and operating satisfactorily with minor
exceptions.
All project as-builts and manuals have been completed and are in place.
All Operators have been trained on the operation of the new governor.
CEA dispatchers have been instructed on the use of the new governor. ov The exception noted in item #2 is a minor problem with large power transients during
certain needle transitions. These power transients are on the order of 5-7 MW which is
well outside the project specifications. We are requiring VA Tech modify the governor
algorithms to eliminate, or at least reduce, the amplitude of the transients. Their revisions
have been submitted to EPS for modeling evaluations. The initial results look promising
and are expected to resolve the problem. When the revised algorithms have been
approved, there will be a short (2-5 day) plant outage for installation and testing. We
expect this to occur in January or February of 2007. In the meantime, the governor
continues to operate well, outside of these particular transitions.
Expenditures YTD are as follows:
Total budget for FY06 = $ 2,492,351
Total spent in FY06 = $1,721,748
Total budget for FY07 = $867,681

BRADLEY AVAILABLE SPIN LIMIT
During the early operation of Bradley Lake the governor was slow to respond
to system transients. A study was implemented to address this lack of
response. As a result of this study a conclusion was reached by the Intertie
Operating Committee (IOC) that the spin response exhibited by Bradley Lake
was equal to 27 MW of spin on a combustion turbine. The 27 MW was voted
on as the spin limit for Bradley Lake with a 14 MW spin limit if on a single
unit. Those limits have been in effect since the early days of Bradley Lake
operation.
With the successful commissioning of the new governor and the resulting
increased responsiveness, the Bradley Lake Operations and Dispatch (O&D)
Subcommittee agrees that this limit on Bradley Lake spinning reserve is no
longer required. The O&D feels the entire capacity of the Bradley Lake Plant
that is not already committed, should be available for spinning reserve
service.
However, there may be other considerations involved in the use of this
spinning reserve such as spin quality, location, accessibility and security. For
this reason the IOC Dispatch Subcommittee is meeting to evaluate the
alternatives and determine new use requirements for the Bradley Lake
spinning reserve. The results of this meeting should be available in January of
2007.
The O&D recommends the BPMC rescind the present limits on Bradley Lake
spinning reserve in favor of new limits and/or use requirements developed by
the IOC Dispatch Subcommittee when they have been finalized.
BRADLEY POWER AND FIBER CABLE REPLACEMENT
The Power and fiber cable replacement project is progressing well and completion is
expected by the end of the 2007 construction season. Materials have and continue to be
purchased including the cable and microwave equipment. The construction contract will
be awarded soon with the expectation of starting work as soon as possible in the Spring.
Due to cost increases in materials, we are over the projected project cost at this point by
approximately $200,000. While this is of concern it is still within the total project
contingency. However, any additional unforeseen cost increases will certainly require a
revision to the budget for this project. HEA will provide a project budgetary update at the
next BPMC meeting to include a budget amendment request if required.

Independent Auditor's Report
Bradley Lake Project Management Committee
Anchorage, Alaska
We have audited the accompanying special-purpose balance sheets of the Bradley Lake Project
Management Committee Operating and Revenue Funds (a project management committee) as of
June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related special-purpose statements of revenues and expenses,
and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Bradley Lake Project Management Committee. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying special-purpose financial statements were prepared for the purpose of
complying with, and in conformity with the accounting requirements specified in Note A, and
are not intended to be a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In our opinion, the special-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the assets, liabilities and surplus of the Bradley Lake Project Management
Committee Operating and Revenue Funds as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and its revenue,
expenses and changes in surplus and its cash flows for the years then ended, on the basis of
accounting described in Note A.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Bradley Lake Project
Management Committee and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
this specified party.

OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006 and 2005
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business: The Bradley Lake Project Management Committee (the Committee)
was established pursuant to Section 13 of the Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Electric
Power (Power Sales Agreement) dated December 8, 1987. The purpose of the Committee is to
arrange for the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project (the
Project), which became operational in September 1991, and the scheduling, production and
dispatch of power. The members of the Committee include the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA)
and the five purchasers under the Power Sales Agreement - Chugach Electric Association, Inc.;
Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc.; the Municipality of Anchorage (Municipal Light &
Power); the City of Seward (Seward Electric System); and the Alaska Electric Generation &
Transmission Cooperative, Inc. (AEG&T). The Homer Electric Association, Inc. (HEA) and the
Matanuska Electric Association, Inc. (MEA) are additional parties to the Power Sales Agreement
but are included as power purchasers for purposes of representation while AEG&T has no direct
vote as a consequence of the individual representation of HEA and MEA.
Section 13 of the Power Sales Agreement delineates other Committee responsibilities, including:
establishing procedures for each party's water allocation, budgeting for annual Project costs and
calculating each party's required contribution to fund annual Project costs. Committee approval
of operations and maintenance arrangements for the Project, sufficiency of the annual budgets
and wholesale power rates and the undertaking of optional Project work requires a majority
affirmative vote and the affirmative vote of AEA.
The Power Sales Agreement extends until the later of: 1) 50 years after commencement of
commercial operation or 2) the complete retirement of bonds outstanding under the AEA Power
Revenue Bond Resolution along with the satisfaction of all other payment obligations under the
Power Sales Agreement. Renewal options for additional terms exist.
Establishment of Trust Funds: Article V, Section 502 of the Alaska Energy Authority's Power
Revenue Bond Resolution established a Revenue Fund and an Operating Fund, including an
Operating Reserve account, to be held by AEA. In actuality these funds, along with the Debt
Service, Excess Investment Earnings (arbitrage), and various construction funds related to the
Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project are all held by the Corporate Trust Department of US Bank
in Seattle, Washington.
BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2006 and 2005
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
All deposits, including utility contributions and interest transferred from other funds, are made
into the Revenue Fund, which transfers amounts approximately equal to one-twelfth of the
annual operating and maintenance budget into the Operating Fund on a monthly basis.
Additional transfers are made from the Revenue Fund to the Debt Service Fund in order to
satisfy semiannual interest payments and annual principal payments on the Project's outstanding
bonds payable.
Interest earnings available for operations and maintenance are derived from the following funds:
Debt Service Fund; Operating Reserve Fund; Operating Fund; Revenue Fund; Capital Reserve
Fund; and the Renewal & Contingency Fund when the fund balance is $5,000,000 or greater.
Revenue and Expense Recognition: Utility contributions are recognized as revenue when due to
be received under the terms of the Power Sales Agreement. Transfers from other funds are
recognized when the transfer is made and interest earnings are recognized when received.
Operating and maintenance expenses are recognized when incurred, while interest and principal
transfers to Debt Service Fund are recognized when the transfer is made. Purchases of fixed
asset replacements are expensed when purchased. Transfer to the Renewal and Contingency
Reserve Fund (R & C) for repayments of capital costs is recognized at fiscal year end based on
capital costs incurred as of fiscal year end.
Estimates: The preparation of the special-purpose financial statements of the Operating and
Revenue Funds requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes: The Bradley Lake Project Management Committee is exempt from income
taxation under Section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
NOTE B: INVESTMENTS
Substantially all of the balances in the following funds are invested in collateralized investment
agreements through the trust department of US Bank. The specified interest rate for monies
from the Operating and Revenue Funds invested in the agreements is 7.38% per annum.
Balances at June 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Investments are sold as needed to cover operating requisitions submitted to the trustee and are
therefore considered to be short-term and available for sale. Investments are presented at
aggregate cost, which approximates market value.
For purposes of the cash flow statements, management considers the full amount of the
investment balance to be cash available for operations.
NOTE C: MAJOR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS
During May 1994, the Alaska Energy Authority entered into the Master Maintenance and
Operating agreement with the Committee. The purpose of the agreement is to establish contract
administration and budgeting procedures for maintenance and operation contracts of the Bradley
Lake Hydroelectric Project and to provide for the lease or other use of facilities and equipment
in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Power Sales Agreement. The term of the
Master Agreement is indefinite, remaining in effect until termination of the Power Sales
Agreement or until AEA no longer legally exists. This agreement authorizes AEA to enter into
any contracts necessary to perform operating or maintenance-type services to the Project, subject
to the approval of the Committee.
On behalf of the Committee, the AEA entered into an agreement with Chugach Electric
Association, Inc. (CEA) in August, 1996, for the provision of all services necessary to dispatch
the Bradley Project's electric power output. The dispatch agreement runs concurrently with the
wheeling and related services contract entered into by and among the parties to the Power Sales
Agreement in December 1987 and remains in effect for the term of the wheeling agreement
unless CEA ceases to be the output dispatcher.
In August 1996, the Alaska Energy Authority entered into an agreement with CEA on behalf of
the Committee for the provision of maintenance services for the Daves Creek and Soldotna SVC
Substations.

NOTE C: MAJOR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS (Continued)
An operation and maintenance agreement dated February 11, 1994, was executed between
Homer Electric Association, Inc. and the Alaska Energy Authority. This agreement provides for
the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project by Homer Electric
Association, Inc. The agreement is through June 30, 2004 and continues from year to year
thereafter, except upon written notice to terminate by either party. Notice of termination must be
given one year in advance of the termination date. HEA is to be reimbursed for costs associated
with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project as determined in advance through the
submission of an annual budget based upon prudent estimates and anticipated operation and
maintenance costs. In August, 1996, the agreement was amended to separate the maintenance of
the transmission facilities from the hydroelectric project. The transmission agreement continues
from year to year, except upon written notice to terminate by either party. Notice of termination
must be given six months in advance of termination dates. In June, 1999 the agreement was
again amended to require HEA to provide communication services in addition to the other
services.
NOTE D: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, costs incurred under the various contracts with
related parties described in Note C were as follows:

Bradley Lake Project Management Committee
Anchorage, Alaska
Our report on our audits of the special-purpose financial statements of the Bradley Lake Project
Management Committee Operating and Revenue Funds for the years ended June 30, 2006 and
2005 appears on the page preceding the balance sheets. Those audits were conducted for the

supplemental special-purpose Statements of Expenses are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the special-purpose financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the special-

movement for Bradley, that was approved by FERC in a record decision, is a greater amount of
movement than what FERC normally approves. The discussion came up of why Bradley could
have greater seismic movement than other dams. It has been proposed that the tunnel drains
which are accessed from the outside be cleaned out next year.

Mr. Cunningham gave a summary of the insurance summary Renewal period July 1, 2006 —
July 1, 2007 and Expiring period July 1, 2005 — July 1, 2006. Mr. Haagenson’s
recommendation was to find a way to fund $20M. Mr. Posey added that the group should look
at the cost of borrowing or a letter of credit for $20M from either AIDEA or someone else vs. the
cost of insuring it. The group agreed to revisit this item at the next meeting with more
information becoming available from the underwriter and Mr. Cunningham, also adding to that
AIDEA’s look at how they would help fund the $20M. Mr. Carey clarified that it is Alaska Energy
Authority that owns it and not AIDEA.

The role that we suggest AEA plays is a minimal role and the nly question that we ask related
to that is to obtain assurance that what you are invoicing through the Bradley budget, passed
through to every ratepayer in the railbelt, is related to Bradley and not something else. You are
exempt from regulation for Bradley, not from anything else. When the last fiscal years budget

was approved, there was a request to put in $150,000 for formation of a joint action agency,
which is unrelated to operating Bradley — it has to do with the potential divestiture of Bradley.
The Bradley budget is inappropriate for that and for AEA just to ask for clarification that the
invoices relate to Bradley and Bradley operations is a minimal intrusion into the prerogatives of
the BPMC.
Chair Stewart asked that there be more use of phones and less use of letters to resolve these
issues.
