AGENDA COMMENTS / MOTION FOR APPROVAL There were no agenda comments. The agenda was approved as presented. 6. A. APPROVE BATTLE CREEK GRANT RESOLUTION Chair Evans stated the opportunity arose to apply for a grant from the State Renewable Energy Fund for the Battle Creek Diversion Project. At that time, he asked Mr. Carey to investigate the best way to do this, which resulted in the decision to have CEA apply for the grant on behalf of the BPMC, which required a resolution of support from the BPMC. We could receive a higher score if matching funds were made available. Page 1 of 2 BPMC Special Meeting September 14, 2010 Mr. Carey said the second fish sampling event occurred at Battle Creek and the results were good. The cost estimate will be done this fall and the satellite photograph has been taken. During the next month or two, we should have a detailed contour map at about 3 or 4 foot intervals. With that we will be able to determine what the route would be to get the water — tunneling or overland. We should know what the conceptual cost will be at budget time next year. We are still looking at about 40,000 acre feet flow or 40,000 mwh. Mr. Posey asked Mr. Carey how this grant might rank in the Renewable Energy Fund Round 4 ranking. Mr. Carey stated it would probably rank high due to matching funds and the benefit-cost ratio. Funding would be available next July 1. The grant will be administered by AEA. Motion: Mr. Griffith moved to authorize CEA, on behalf of the BPMC, to apply for an AEA Round IV Renewable Energy grant for the Battle Creek Diversion project in the amount of $500,000 with a match of $500,000 paid by the utilities in proportion to their participatory shares in the Bradley Lake Project. Seconded by Mr. Newton.
