- 20% Wholesale Price Increase
- 20% Wholesale Price Decrease
- No Retail Load Increase Post-2019
- No Retail Load Increase Post-2019 and -20% Wholesale Price Decrease
- Zero Rate Increases
- Fiber buildout completed by 2023
- Scenarios and Debt Service Coverage (Appendix E)
- Debt Service Coverage (DSC) is adversely affected in all scenarios through 2024 except
higher wholesale energy prices.
- No Load growth scenario when combined with low wholesale energy prices creates the
largest negative impact to DSC, indicating that growing profitable loads is a key controllable business driver.
- Scenarios and Excess Liquidity (Appendix F)
- Excess liquidity dropping below $0 in any year would require the District to raise rates,
cut expenses and/or borrow more to avoid consuming working capital and reserves.
- Minimum cash accumulation scenario adds $111 million from 2019 through 2024.
- The highest threat to excess liquidity is No Load Growth when combined with low
wholesale energy prices. Conclusions and Path Forward:
- Growing profitable loads is a key controllable business success driver.
- Lower wholesale prices are a threat in the 2019-2024 period, particularly when combined with
no or low load growth.
- Accumulating excess cash instead of utilitizing a debt reduction strategy, results in lower
earnings, lower DSC, and inhibits meeting the Return on Assets metric. Recommendation:
- For your information.

Policy Statement
It is the policy of the Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County (the District, herein) to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest investment return after ensuring safety thresholds are satisfied while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the District. The priority of investment criteria for the District is legality first, followed by safety, then liquidity and lastly investment return. The investment guidelines and practices of the District must conform to all applicable Federal and State
- f Washington laws and regulations, bond covenants, bond insurance policies, and prudent money
management philosophy. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of public trust.
Scope
These investment guidelines apply to all financial assets of the District except: The policy for the Washington State Public Employees' Retirement System will be as determined by the appropriate Board of Administration and is not covered by this guideline statement. District employees' deferred compensation assets will be invested as directed by the individual employee within the allowable options defined by the administrator and programs as approved by the District. Monies set aside for advance and current refundings of District bond obligations will be invested in accordance with the appropriate bond documents and Federal and State law and not necessarily in compliance with this guideline statement. Financial instruments used to hedge commodity risk covered under the Energy Risk Management Policy. If applicable, investments of the District shall be in compliance with bond resolutions and other debt constraints, Federal and State of Washington law, and related legal interpretations. Should such requirements be more restrictive than this policy, the financial assets will be invested in accordance with the more restrictive regulations. Monies subject to the 1986 Tax Reform Act, and subsequent arbitration regulations, shall be invested in compliance with the appropriate regulations.
Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the District's investment program is derived from the Revised Code of the State
- f Washington, as well as various District resolutions. The Treasurer of the District has direct
management responsibility for implementing the investment program. The investment program shall
2 | P a g e
be developed, strategized and monitored by an Investment Oversight Committee comprised of District staff as designated by the Chief Finance Officer. The Investment Oversight Committee shall oversee the establishment of procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy and portfolio strategy. Procedures will include specific investment tasks and explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for activities necessary to carry out the investment program. No person shall engage in an investment transaction except for those staff as approved by the Treasurer and in accordance to the terms of this policy and the procedures as established by the Investment Oversight Committee. The Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall implement a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and District employees.
Prudence
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which a person of prudence, discretion and intelligence would exercise in the management of their own affairs. Securities shall not be purchased or sold for speculation (i.e. market timing), but for investment, considering the probable safety of capital as well as the probable income to be derived. Purchases and sales in accordance with the Policy Statement priorities of legality first, followed by safety, then liquidity and lastly investment return. The standard of prudence to be used by investment decision makers shall be the "prudent person" standard and be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment decision makers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence, in so far as allowed by State Law, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments. All participants in the investment program shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of the public
- trust. The investment portfolio is subject to public scrutiny and evaluation. The investment program
shall be designed and administered with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. Investment decision makers shall refrain from knowingly entering into transactions which might impair public confidence in the District.
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Annually, such employees and investment decision makers shall disclose to the Treasurer any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct business within the county, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the District's portfolio. Investment decision makers and employees will at all times comply with the District's Code of Ethics as it pertains to the investment process.
3 | P a g e
Objectives
The primary objectives, in order of priority, of the District investment activities are:
Legality The District's investments will be in accordance with all statutes governing the investment
- f public funds as well as applicable provisions of bond resolutions.
Safety Investments of the District shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the
preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, diversification is an important
- cornerstone. The District seeks to optimize protection afforded by the FDIC and Public Deposit
Protection Commission on its demand depository accounts.
Liquidity The District's portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the District to meet all
- perating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated. Investment maturities shall be
matched to anticipated cash flow requirements whenever possible.
Return on Investment The District's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of
attaining a market rate of return throughout the budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the District's investment risk constraints, arbitrage limitations and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.
Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
The Treasurer will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the District. The list will include broker/dealers to provide investment services in the State of Washington and to the District. The selection process for inclusion in this list is determined by the Investment Oversight Committee in separate written procedures, but includes such items as proof of Washington registration and acceptable financial condition. The Treasurer, or designee, will conduct an annual review of the Washington registration of the broker/dealer firm and designated representatives of the District’s account as well as the financial condition of the broker dealer firm. Employees of any firm or financial institutions offering securities or investments to the District are expected to be trained in the precautions appropriate to the public sector, be knowledgeable of permissible investments and other State of Washington regulations, and be familiar with the District's investment objectives, policies and constraints. Dealers providing investments services to the District are expected to make reasonable efforts to preclude imprudent transactions involving the District's funds. No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository as established by Revised Code
- f the State of Washington, except for bond funds which have been authorized by bond resolution to
be deposited in out-of-state financial institutions.
4 | P a g e
Authorized Investments
The District is currently empowered by the Revised Code of the State of Washington to invest in the following types of authorized investments: Investment deposits with qualified public depositories. Obligations of the US Government and its agencies as specified in RCW 39.59.040. Banker's Acceptances purchased on the secondary market. District policy is underlying bank rating must be either Al or PI. Commercial Paper pursuant with RCW 39.59.040 and with the Washington State Investment board policy on Commercial Paper. Corporate Notes in accordance with RCW 39.59.040 and with the Washington State Investment Board policy on Corporate Notes. Supranational Institutions with the United States government as its largest shareholder in accordance with RCW 39.59.040. Bonds of the State of Washington, or local governments within the State of Washington, which have at the time of investment one of the three highest credit ratings of a nationally recognized rating agency. General obligation bonds of a state other than the State of Washington and general obligation bonds
- f a local government of a state other than the State of Washington, which bonds have at the time of
investment one of the three highest credit ratings of a nationally recognized rating agency. State of Washington Local Government Investment Pool. Repurchase agreements, with direct US Government obligations as collateral, provided the collateral is held in safekeeping on a delivery-versus-payment basis and that a Master Repurchase Agreement is signed with the primary dealer. Non-negotiable Certificates of Deposit of financial institutions which are qualified public depositories as defined by RCW 39.58.010 and in accordance with the restrictions therein.
Collateralization
Collateralization is required on all repurchase agreements. Collaterization level, measured by market value of principal and accrued interest, must be at least 102 percent of the repurchase amount.
5 | P a g e
Securities purchased in the repurchase agreement must be direct obligations of the U.S. Government. If the term of the repurchase exceeds 10 calendar days, the terms of the specific transaction must be approved by the Treasurer and collaterization level may be set higher than 102 percent. The Treasurer may also approve specific transactions wherein repurchase agreement securities purchased are other than direct government obligation; however, the securities purchased must be of a type eligible as authorized investments. Securities purchased must be held by a trust department of a third party custodian chosen by the District and acting as the District's safekeeping agent. For each financial institution the District negotiates a repurchase agreement, there must be a signed Master Repurchase Agreement and District monies are to be released on a delivery-versus-payment basis only. A clearly marked evidence of
- wnership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied in the District's name. The right of securities
substitution is granted subject to District approval of each individual substitution transaction.
Safekeeping and Custody
All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the District shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities will be held by a third party custodian designated by the District and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.
Diversification
The District will diversify its investments by security type, institution and maturity. The District's investment portfolio will be restricted by investment type. It is expected that diversification levels are as follows: With the exception of direct US Government obligations, repurchase agreements collaterized by the same, and the state investment pool; the investment portfolio shall not be more than: Fifty percent (50%) invested in Supranational Institutions. Fifty percent (50%) invested in Government Sponsored Agencies. Fifty percent (50%) invested in Municipal Bonds. Twenty-five percent (25%) invested in Banker's Acceptances from banks outside the United States. Twenty-five percent (25%) invested in Commercial Paper and Corporate Notes (combined). No more than fifty percent (50%) of the total portfolio par value purchased from a single financial institution
6 | P a g e
- r dealer.
Maturities
The District's expects to hold most investments to maturity. To the extent possible, the District will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements for certain funds such as
- perating, construction, habitat and current year debt service set aside accounts. Other funds such as
reserve and contingency, debt service reserves, and long-term sinking fund accounts are invested within targeted effective duration parameters as determined by the Investment Oversight Committee. Investment sales are expected to occur only if cash flow needs change from as originally anticipated. However, the District may sell investments early to meet unexpected cash flow needs, mitigate risk associated with a security type or issuer, or to capture increased yield or income when appropriate. To further mitigate risk of selling investments early to meet unexpected cash flow needs, a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the total portfolio will be comprised of investments maturing within a year. With the exception of debt service reserve funds, long-term principal sinking funds, and reserve and contingency funds, the District will not invest in securities with an effective duration of more than six years from the date of purchase unless authorized by the Investment Oversight Committee for specific transactions. The District may collaterize its repurchase agreements with investments not to exceed thirty years to maturity. Reserve funds may be invested in securities not to exceed the maximum due date of the bond issue. Bond resolutions may specify maximum maturity for certain funds and, if more restrictive than this policy, shall be adhered to. Refunded debt monies will be invested in maturities as required to comply with the refunding parameters and agreements.
Internal Controls
The District shall obtain an annual financial statement audit by an independent party. The audit will be conducted by either the State Auditor or an external, nationally recognized audit firm. Periodic internal reviews may also be made by District employees. These reviews will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies, procedures and prudent industry practices. Day-to-day procedures concerning investment management and accounting are a management function
- utside the scope of this policy. The Treasurer will be responsible for implementing controls designed
to prevent loss of public funds due to fraud, error, misrepresentation or imprudent actions by employees
- r officers.
7 | P a g e
Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this
- policy. The investment portfolio will be designed to obtain a market average rate of return during
budgetary and economic cycles, taking into consideration the District's investment risk constraints, arbitrage requirements, and cash flow needs. A series of appropriate benchmarks reflective of the actual securities being purchased, the risks undertaken, and which have a similar weighted average maturity as the portfolio will be used as a composite benchmark to evaluate overall performance. Yield considerations are secondary to legality, safety and liquidity concerns. The investment program does seek to obtain the best possible return consistent with prudent investment principles and the risk limitations identified herein. Overall portfolio strategy is actively reviewed and discussed by the Investment Oversight Committee.
Reporting
The Treasurer or his/her designee is charged with the responsibility to prepare monthly reports for the District’s Investment Oversight Committee, on the investment activity and positions of the District. At a minimum, such reporting shall include month end asset allocation by issuer type, purchases by broker/dealer, effective durations, yields, and par amounts at a summarized level within the portfolio. In addition, realized and unrealized portfolio income (total return), and benchmark performance shall be
- reported. The Investment Oversight Committee targets to meet monthly.
Investment Policy Adoption and Modification
Per District Resolution 8745, the Board of Commissioners delegates authority to update future policies as needed and approved by the General Manager and Investment Oversight Committee with corresponding updates provided to the Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) and the Board of Commissioners. In the event any State of Washington, Federal legislation, bond resolution, contract or regulation sets forth restrictions more severe than contained herein, such restrictions shall be deemed to be immediately incorporated into this policy.
8 | P a g e
Appendix: Glossary
ACCRUED INTEREST – The interest accumulated on a bond since issue date or the last coupon
- payment. The buyer of the bond pays the market price and accrued interest, which is payable to the seller.
AMORTIZATION – In portfolio accounting, periodic charges made against interest income on premium
bonds in anticipation of receipt of the call price at call or of par value at maturity.
ASSET – Available property, as for payment of debts. AVERAGE MATURITY – A weighted average of the expiration dates for a portfolio of debt securities.
An income fund's volatility can be managed by shortening or lengthening the average maturity of its portfolio.
BANKERS ACCEPTANCES (BAs) – A short-term debt instrument issued by a firm that is guaranteed
by a commercial bank. These instruments are similar to Treasury Bills and are frequently used in money markets funds. BAs trade at a discount from face value on the secondary market. The date of maturity typically ranges between 30 and 180 days from the date of issue.
BASIS POINT – A measure of an interest rate, i.e., 1/100 of 1 percent, or .0001. BENCHMARK – A standard against which the performance of a security, fund or investment manager
can be measured. Generally, broad market and market-segment indexes are used for this purpose.
BID – The indicated price at which a buyer is willing to purchase a security or commodity. When
selling a security a bid is obtained. (See Offer)
BOND – A long-term debt security, or IOU, issued by a government or corporation that generally pays
a stated rate of interest and returns the face value on the maturity date.
BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES – U.S. government and federal agency securities that do not exist in
definitive (paper) form; they exist only in computerized files maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank.
BOOK VALUE – The amount at which an asset is carried on the books of the owner. The book value of
an asset does not necessarily have a significant relationship to market value.
BROKER – A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission paid by the initiator of the
transaction or by both sides.
CALLABLE SECURITY – A security with an embedded call provision that allows the issuer to
repurchase or redeem the security by a specified date. Since the holder of a callable security is exposed to the risk of the security being repurchased, the callable security is generally less expensive than comparable securities that do not have a call provision.
9 | P a g e
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CDs) – Certificates issued against funds deposited in a bank for a
definite period of time and earning a specified rate of return. CDs bear rates of interest in line with money market rates current at the time of issuance.
COLLATERAL – Property (as securities) pledged by a borrower to protect the interest of the lender. COMMERCIAL PAPER – An unsecured, short-term debt instrument issued by a corporation. Maturities
- n commercial paper rarely range longer than 270 days.
COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS – A process by which three or more institutions are contacted to obtain
prices/yields for specific securities.
CORPORATE NOTES – Debt obligations issued by corporations. Investors would consider this type of
investment as they are designed to provide higher interest rates than many other alternatives like FDIC- insured savings accounts, short term certificates of deposit, and money market funds.
CREDIT QUALITY – The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This measurement
helps an investor to understand an issuer’s ability to make timely interest payments and repay the loan principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest rate paid by the issuer because the risk of default is lower. Credit quality ratings are provided by nationally recognized rating agencies.
CREDIT RISK – The risk that another party to an investment transaction will not fulfill its obligations.
Credit risk can be associated with the issuer of a security, a financial institution holding the entity's deposit, or a third party holding securities or collateral. Credit risk exposure can be affected by a concentration of deposits or investments in any one investment type or with any one party.
CUSTODIAN – An independent third party (usually bank or trust company) that holds securities in
safekeeping as an agent for the county.
DEALER – A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and selling
for his own account.
DELIVERY – The providing of a security in an acceptable form to the District or to an agent acting on
behalf of the District and independent of the seller. Acceptable forms can be physical securities or the transfer of book entry securities. The important distinction is that the transfer accomplishes absolute
- wnership control by the District.
DELIVERY VS PAYMENT – There are two methods of delivery of securities: Delivery vs. payment
and delivery vs. receipt (also called free). Delivery vs. payment is delivery of securities with an exchange
- f money for the securities. Delivery vs. receipt is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed
receipt for the securities.
DISCOUNT – The price of a bond that is lower than par. The discount equals the difference between the
price paid for a security and the security’s par value.
10 | P a g e
DIVERSIFICATION – Distribution of available funds among a variety of securities and institutions so
as to minimize market risk.
DURATION – A measure of the sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income investment to a change in
interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. Rising interest rates mean falling bond prices, while declining interest rates mean rising bond prices. The greater the duration, the greater the interest- rate risk or reward for bond prices.
EFFECTIVE DURATION – The duration for a bond with an embedded option when the value is
calculated to include the expected change in cash flow caused by the option as interest rates change. This measures the responsiveness of a bond's price to interest rate changes, and illustrates the fact that the embedded option will also affect the bond's price.
FACE VALUE – The value of a bond stated on the bond certificate; thus, the redemption value at
- maturity. Most bonds have a face value, or par, of $1,000.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE – The rate of interest at which Fed Funds are traded between banks. Fed
Funds are excess reserves held by banks that desire to invest or lend them to banks needing reserves. The particular rate is heavily influenced through the open market operations of the Federal Reserve
- Board. Also referred to as the "Fed Funds rate."
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM – The central bank of the United States which has regulated credit in
the economy since its inception in 1913. Includes the Federal Reserve Bank, 14 district banks and the member banks of the Federal Reserve, and is governed by the Federal Board.
GOVERNMENT SPONSORED ENTERPRISE (AGENCIES) – A privately held corporation with
public purposes created by the U.S. Congress to reduce the cost of capital for certain borrowing sectors
- f the economy. GSE’s carry the implicit backing of the U.S. government but are not direct obligations
- f the U.S. government. Examples of GSEs include: Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, Federal Farm Credit Bank and Federal National Mortgage Association. Securities issued by GSEs are known as agency securities.
LIQUIDATION – Conversion into cash. LIQUIDITY – Refers to the ease and speed with which an asset can be converted into cash without a
substantial loss in value.
LOSS – The excess of the cost or book value of an asset over selling price. LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT POOL (LGIP) – The aggregate of all funds from political
subdivisions that are placed in the custody of the State Treasurer for investment and reinvestment.
MARK‐TO‐MARKET – An adjustment in the valuation of a securities portfolio to reflect the current
market values of the respective securities in the portfolio.
11 | P a g e
MARKETABILITY – Ability to sell large blocks of money market instruments quickly and at
competitive prices.
MARKET RISK – The risk associated with declines or rises in interest rates which cause an investment
in a fixed-income security to increase or decrease in value. The risk that the market value of an investment, collateral protecting a deposit, or securities underlying a repurchase agreement will decline.
MARKET VALUE – The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be sold. MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT – An agreement between the investor and the dealer or
financial institute. This agreement defines the nature of the transactions, identifies the relationship between the parties, establishes normal practices regarding ownership and custody of the collateral securities during the term of the investment, provides for remedies in the event of a default by either party and otherwise clarifies issues of ownership.
MATURITY – The time when a security becomes due and at which time the principal and interest or

Energy Independence Act Summary (I-937)
Energy Independence Act or I-937
Washington’s Energy Independence Act (EIA), effective January 1, 2010, enacted a renewable portfolio standard commonly referred to as ‘Initiative 937” which requires Washington electric utilities serving 25,000+ customers
- Undertake all cost-effective energy conservation; and
- Obtain a specified portion of their electricity from new
renewable resources.
Partnership with Microsoft
Three projects saved a combined 71,579,211 kWh towards Grant PUDs I-937 target and future roll-over savings.
- These projects were eligible for a total rebate of $480,000.
- This is the lowest cost conservation that Grant PUD has ever
achieved at $0.0067/kWh saved.
- Historically, Grant PUD has paid between $0.06 and
$0.10/kWh for projects similar to this.
- The cost savings to Grant PUD are between 3.8 and 6.6 million
dollars based on historical rebate amounts.
Grant PUD’s Potential and Achieved Targets
Biennium Target MWh Total Target Met MWh Cost per MWh 2020 / 2021 36,792 (anticipated) 2018 / 2019 32,149 90,174 (unfinished) $10.35 2016 / 2017 27,419 35,223 (unaudited) $84.01 2014 / 2015 34,251 37,701 (audited) $95.65 2012 / 2013 99,843 118,695 (audited) $69.71 2010 / 2011 52,543 104,921 (audited) $76.46
Continued Partnership
Energy Services is excited to continue this partnership with Microsoft as they continue to expand their
- campuses. This will achieve the most conservation
savings at the lowest cost to Grant PUD while giving back to the rest of the community.
Benefits of the Pay it Forward Partnership:
Pay it Forward Partnership explained:
Recommendation for dispersing funds:
$400,000 be provided to the Big Bend Foundation through the Columbia Basin Foundation to cover the costs of developing an industrial mechanic program in the college’s new Workforce Education Building.
Staff recommendation for dispersing funds:
$50,000 provided to the Columbia Basin Foundation to develop a fund that will provide financial grants to develop a program to provide Grant County-grown produce for families of school-age children in need.
Staff recommendation for dispersing funds:
$20,000 provided to the Columbia Basin Foundation to develop a fund that will provide grants to help Grant County school districts cover the transportation costs of bringing sixth-grade students to a hydro-power outreach educational event at Wanapum Dam.
Staff recommendation for dispersing funds:

Next Steps
Timing Considerations
- Customer Connect costs will be finalized once the Commission
provides guidance on transmission expansion.
Timing Considerations
- Depending upon timing, Construction of Facilities for applications
in the pipeline will be included in Design Build 2.
Timing Considerations
- 5 of the 6 requests are waiting for final Facility Agreements.
- 3 of the 6 requests are delayed beyond the desired electrical
service date.
Proposed Next Steps
- Send draft version of Facility Agreements with Facility Plan
without Costs and schedule to applicants. This would allow applicants to review and verify Electrical Service scope with requirements for both parties.
- Execute Facility Agreements once Commission evaluation and
guidance on transmission expansion is complete. Unlikely to meet requested electric service start date for all customers.

Resolution 8768 8768
- Section 6:
- Changes in rate schedules should be designed to limit impact to customers due to
substantial structure change, aka "rate shock".
- Rate class specific limits set at not less than 0.25x the average total Revenue
Requirement level increase and not more than 2.50x the average total Revenue Requirement level increase on an annual increase basis.
- In a year that no general retail rate increase is put into effect, no increase will be
applied to any schedule.
Resolution 8768 8768
- Section 9:
- By December 31, 2023, the rate schedules shall be designed such that the
differential between the "cost to serve" and the "expected class revenue recovery" for each Rate Class shall not exceed +15%/-20.0%.
- Annually the long term plan will be evaluated and, if appropriate, updated to
stay on course to meet established targets / policy.
