Eugene Water -& Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis The following discussion provides an overview of the financial results of the Eugene Water & Electnc Board (EWEB) for the years ended 2020, 2619, and 2018. This unaudited discussion is intended to be used in con1unct1on wrth the financial statements and note disclosures following this section.

EWEB is the largest publicly-owned el~c and water utility in Oregon. The City of Eugene (the City) commenced utility operations in 1908 with the purchase of a privately-owned water system. In 1911, upon completion of the City's first municipal hydroelectric power plant, the Crty organized the Eugene Water Board to operate the City's electric and wat~r utilities. The name of the Eugene Water Board was

  • changed to the Eugene Water & Electric Board in 1949,*

EWEB is chartered by the City and supplies electnc and water service within the city limits of Eugene and to certain areas outside the city limi~ EWEB operat~ as a primary government, and is not coilside~ a component unit of the Crty. EWEB is governed by a fiv~ member Board of Commissioners who are ,

elected by voters residing in the City. The Board of Commissioners has authority to set pnces for water and electric services. Pnces are set based on the cost of service delivery, including operating, capital, and debt service expenses.

The Statements of Net Position report assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, d~ferred inflows and net position as of the end of the financial year, December 31. Tlie Statements of Revenues, Expenses and

  • Changes in Net Position report revenues and expenses occurring durin*g the financial year. The Statements of Cash Flows report cash from operating act1vrt1es, mvesimg activities, non-capital fmancmg activities as well as.capital and related financing ~ctivitles.

El,ectric System .

The El~c System supplies service to 95,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers within

- the City of Eugene and areas along the McKenzie River between the cities of Walterv1lle and Vida where two of,EWEB's hydro-power plants are.located 1he total service area covers 236 square miles Th~

Electric System owns and operates approximately 1,100 circuit miles:of overhead and underground I .

distribution Imes, 129 circuit mil~ of transrry1ss1on lines, and 38 distnbution substations: Power delivered to ~ustomers is supplied by aonneville Power Administration' (BPA} contracts, EWES-owned generation resources, other contracted resources, and purchases from the wholesale energy markets. EWEB's power supply sources are primarily hydro-power, but also includes wind, biomass, steam, and solar.

Net Operating Revenue Electric System net operating revenue for 2020 increased compared to 2019. This is d9e in part to increased generation from EWES owned resources and BPA Slice product. In 2019, higher power market prices 'in the first '

quarter influenced .the rise in both revenues and expenses -

compared to prior years. Also in 2019, a change in accounting for *certain wholesale market transactions presented figures at gross amounts whereas 2018 netted s1m1lar transaction a!11ounts during the year. The change did not influence net operating revenue.

2020 was marked I by COVID-19 and wildfires. Financial impacts from COVID-19 were most apparent

  • in the revenue collection cycle an.d in reducec;I sales among retail customer classes. Less noticeable meas_ures taken.on the expense side, include curtailed business travel !!nd training following social distancing guidelin~. .
  • Of"E:gon wildfires in th~. fafl of 2020 severely damaged areas of the service terntory along the McKenzie River and a separate fire damaged transmission lines critical to the Stone Creek ProJect. Restoratipn.

efforts totaled nearly $5 *million in' 2020 with work continuing into 2021. FEMA public assistance is . ;

expectec;I to reimburse 75% of eligible restoration costs. A snowstorm in February 2019 caused severe outages in the region. Restoration efforts totaled over $4 million. FEMA reimbursemeht of 75% of eligible restoration costs were received in 2020. 2018 did not have sev,ere events requiring extel"]sive restoration.

Operating* Revenue Operating revenue varies from year to_year based on custom.er load, generation 1:!Vailable for sale, and corresponding power market prices. Residential customers make up approximately 90% of EWEB's customer base and approximately 50% of customer revenue: H1s.torically, sales to residential-customers are variable based on weather trends. Loads peak in the winter especially with extreme cold events as opposed to summer heat Weather for 2020 was slightly milder than average 2019 had colderiwinter temperatures especially early in the year. .

EWEB sold power supply in excess of load into the wholesale markets The Electric System has an active hedging. program to manage price risk associated with wholesale power sales. 2020prices were lower due to increased hydro-electric generation in the region. Several factors contnbuted to higher wholesale pri~s in 2019, including reduced supply due to unfavorable hydro conditions ir:i the region, low renewable resources availability, a'nd limited natural gas supply.

Operating Expenses Electric System operating expenses include purchased power and wheeling. Prices are set for SPA and contracted resources by their respective contracts, which may esC?late over time. Market purchases are made at times when resources aren't adequate for customer load or to support the EWES hedging 1

, program* and are subj~ct to price variabilfy to the extent those sales are not fully hedged. Purchased power costs decreased in 2020 *compared to 2019 due to lower market prices. Purchased power volume was comparable from 2019 to 2020. An accounting change for contracted power_ trades occurred in 2019.

Relative to 2018, gross amounts are recorded for. offsetting purchase and sale transactions for the same delivery period and the same location, rather than net amounts presented in. 2018. The Foote Creek wir:id generation project in Wyoming was sold in July 2019, and as a result wheeling costs decreased m 2019 and 2020.

Transmission and disfribution expenses were higher in 2020 and 2019 due to restoration efforts following September 2020 wildfires and a severe snowstorm in February 2019.

The Electric System's allocation of shared costs with the Water System was updated in 2019 tp 80% from 82%. The 2% decrease contributed to declines in customer accounting and administrative and general in 2019. In 2020,'the COVID-19 pandemic caused*many businesses to reduce operations or close and led to increased costs for collections and.customer assistance. rncreases in conservation expense we~ froni rebate programs in energy conservation as well as load growth incentives to support business development. '

In 2019; depreciation costs increased. EVVES received a forty-year operating license for the Carmen-

~smith Hydroelectric Project. Preliminary costs for implementing the liC:Emse were placed into service and are being amortized over the term of the license. Depreciation expense decreased m 2020 as

.depreciation associated to the Leaburg hydroelectric project was not recognized In 2020, the L~urg

_hydroelectric project was moved to property held for future use. FERG ordered the project.to dewater the canal which forced the generation plant offlme.

In 2020, non-operating revenue included re_cognrtion of a $3.1 million public assistance grant from FEMA tied to the 2019 snowstorm. Additionally, earnings from equity investments, WGA and Harvest Wind, were especially strong, $3.2 million in 2020. as compared to $2.2 million in 2019. In 2019, non-operating ,

revenue increased compared to 2018 primarily due to settlement of a claim for damages incurred on a hydro-generating project. Non-operating .expense is pnmarily interest expense for long-term debt and other revenue deductions including taxes and losses on the disposition of property. A bond issuance in 2020 refunded prior debt and reduced associated interest expense compared to 2019 2019 non-operating expenses were lower than- in 2018. Non-operating expenses included a $4.1 million accounting loss on the disposition of surplus riverfront property iri 2018. -

Caprtal contnbutions represent amounts customers contribute to construct assets that become par:t of plant in service for the Electric-Utility. Capital contributions can-fluctuate due to the timing of customer-

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Total Assets and Deferred Outflows of Resources . . ( I*

Total assets for the Electric System include utility plant net of deprec1at1on, current assets representing cash and investments, accounts receivable, matenals inventory, pre-paid expenses, long term investments, and non-current assets such as Jointly-owned cqmpanies a~unted for under the equity method for investments.

Current assets are influenced by cash balances, investments having maturities one year or less, and changes in balances of customer and other receivables at year end. Investment activity in 2020 in-creased the amount of securities with maturities beyond one year and shifted investment balances to_ the non-current classification. Receivable balances w~re steady from 2018 to 2019 and declined ,in 2020, despite challenges in the revenue collection cycle due fo COVl[?-19. EWEB voluntarily suspended disconnects for 5 months during the spring and summer in response to increases in unemployment and local economic difficulty. Customers were provided with various forms of assistance, including zero or,fow interest loans. Overall, the receivabl.e balance declined year over year as a result of warmer temperatures in November and December 2020 as compared to 2019. In 2019, current assets decreased compared to 2018 due to a payment of $16. 7 million to OPE RS.

A bond issuance in 2020 increased restricted reserves for future construction projects by $46 million.

Investment activity in 2020 increased the amount of securities with a maturity beyond one year In 2019, the investments classrfled as non-current decreased compared to 2018 due in part to overall portfolio red~ctions. Reduced purchase activity for investment securities increased amounts classified as current, and current funds were used for payments to OPERS. Within preliminary investigations, $23.5 million of preliminary costs associated with the Carmen-Smith operating license moved to plant in service during 2019, and an additional $7.8 million was moved to construction work in progress in 2020. The regulatory asset for pension debits declined by $17.1 million in 2019 as costs- were recognized in the current year through payroll and special one-time cohtribut1ons. In 2020, regulatory assets for pension debits.

increased-as recognized costs were less than the actuarily determined expense amount. EWEB has elected to use regulatory accounting for pension and OPEB reporting and recognizes expenses as contributions are paid.

Deferred outflows of resources represent transactions occurring in Mure penods and are not classified as assets. 2020 deferred outflows of resources decreased di.JI;) to. a reduction of pension contributions after the measurement date for actuarial reporting. n,ey had increased in 2019 with $20.9 million paid _under the PERS Employer Incentive Fund program where PERS offered a 25% match to employer contributions.

Eugene Water & _Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Capital Asset Activity Capital projects for the Electric System are categorized as Compulsory, Strategic, or Risk Based Elective lmproveme.nts.

)

. Compulsory war!< 1s mandatory to ensure EWEB rrieets minimum service, regulatory, and safety __

requirements. Compulsory work develops from both !nter:nal and.external drivers. There is minimal opportunity to change the compulsory portion of capital plans due to legal and policy requirements.

I I'

Strategic'projects and programs are derived from strategic direction and are typically multiyear and multimillion-dollar efforts. Strategic improvements are moderately flexible in nature and can be balanced with efforts to prioritize compulsory work or other drivers, such as afforclabil_ity or operational' improvements Risk Based Improvements are elective in th'at staff can plan and schedule them to balance within the boundaries of the capital plans and the long-term financial plans as well as staffing and resources available. This work 1s driven* by the goal to maintain system condition and Age of Asset metrics in order to maintain reliability. Reducing the level of work in this area will ultimately result in the increase of compulsory work and reduction in reliability.

Ongoing caprtal improvements included:

Liabilities and Deferred Inflows of Resources Current liabilities are primanly accounts payable, accrued payroll, and the current portion of long-term debt'. Current liabilities' decreased slightly in 2020, as a result of. decreases in the current portion of long-term debt due within one year. Accounts payable also declined as a result of normal fluctuations. Total liabilities increased in 2020 as a result of the bond issuance Current liabilities decreased in 2019 due to fluctuation~ in accounts payable and accrued payroll. Total liabilities were influenced by decreases in the net pension liability*and net OPEB liability, as well as regular debt service payments mentioned above.

Increases in deferred inflows of resources for both 2020 and 2019 were primarily due to changes in the employer proportion related to EWEB's PERS net pension liability.

Capital assets have been added each year, while corresponding debt levels associated to capital improvements have declined.

Restricted net position 1s subject to external legal restriction*s on its use and is primarily representative of

.reserves for payments of debt service, customer donations, and amounts deposited.in escrow accounts relating to the Harvest Wind Project. Restricted net position decreased in 2020 as a result of lower debt service reserve requirements as part of the refunding of a portion of the 2012 bond series. The 2020 bond series d1d*not have a debt service reserve requirement. Restricted net position increased in 2019 due to investment income on the debt service reserve and donations to the custo,mer care program.

Unrestricted net position represents the accumulation of net assets that are not capital assets, or ~ubject to external restrictions on their use. In 2020, unrestricted net position remained flat from the prior year with increases from operations and decreases with amounts held as preliminary investigations moving to net investment in capital assets. In 2019 unrestricted net position decreased due to payments made from existing cash reserves for unfunded liabilities related to retirement benefits.

Overall net position h~s increased by 0.4% since the start of 2019. The financial position of the Electric System has remained steady. Operating actMty remained positive despite a severe snow event in 2019 and unprecedented wildfires and a pand~mic in 2020.

.Management's Discussion and Analysis Reserves and lnvesbnent Activity The Board of Commissioners has established Electric System d~ignated reserve accounts for specific -

purposes including funding routine capital activjty, significant one-tim~ expenses, and to protect customers from the effects of large fluctuations in power prices, generation volume and counterparty risk.

The Board has authority to re-evaluate and redirect designated and unrestricted reserves based on current priorities.

In 2020, the Board maintained reserves above target and increased reserves held in working cash. In 2019, the Board used $16.7-million of reserves to participate in an Employer lncei:itive Fund program with PERS. State, contributed flinds matched 25%. of EWES contributio17s and reduced EWEB's employer contribution rate starting on November 1, 2019.

Working cash and short-tenn investments are not held in reserve and were available for the day-to-day operations of the utility. They were classified as unrestricted.

All Electric System working cash and reserves were_ held in depository accounts, the Local Government Investment Pool, or in high quality securities. Investment strategy focused on the following in prionty order: preserving princ1paJ, liquidity of funds, and investment retur_ns.

Water System The source of supply for the Water System is the McKenzie River, with headwaters in the Cascade Range east of Eugene. Intake and PL!rification of water occurs at the Hayden Bridge Water. Filtration Plant In addition to the filtration plant, the Water System owns and operates 22 reservoirs, 27 pymp stations,-and approximately 800 miles of transmission and distribution mains. The Water System provides water service to 55,000 residential, _commercial, and industrial customers within the EWEB service territory, and also supplies wholesale water to the River Road and Santa Clara water districts outside

. Eugene. In addition, EWEB. has surplus water contracts with the City of Veneta and the Willamette Water Company.

Operating Revenue Consumption of water varies depending on the season and the ~eather patterns of a particular year with peak consumption in the summer months. During 2020, COVID-19 social distancing measures required many commercial facilities to reduce their typical operations. In addition, many employers transitioned to a remote working environment with st;:iff working from home where possible. For 2020, overall consumption remained stable with prior years, with a shift seen from commercial to residential consumption Lower consumption in 2019 as compared to 2018, was due to an earlier start to fall precipitation which shortened the irrigation season. In 2013, the Board approved a price increase designed to accumulate funds for a Willamette Treatment Plant and a 2018 pnce decrease suspended the collection of those reserve funds while the Board refines the capacity and timing of the project.

Residential accounts make up 90% of the customer base of the Water*system, and approximately 60% of retail consumption Similar to the Electric system, residential consumption is more responsive to weather conditions than commercial ~nd industrial. Water sales revenue for retail customers was higher in_ 2020 and correlated to effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. State and county regulations designed to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus increased the am*ount of time people spent at home.

Recent residential price adJustments have been as follows:

2020 No change 2019 No change 2018 (effective February 2018) 4.5% decrease Commerci~I and industrial accounts make up 10% of the Water System's customer base, and approximately 40% of retail sales 2020 declines in commercial and industrial sales we_re seen as a symptom of COVID-19 economic difficulty and social distancing measures. 2019 commercial and industrial sales were 3.6% lower than 2018 due to corresponding drops in consumption.

,Non--0peratmg revenue of the Water System consists primanly of miscellaneous revenue not associated with core business* activities: as well as interest and investment revenue. In 2020, investment earnings declined in conjunction wrth the sustained low interest rate environment. 2019 illvestment ea*mings increased $277,000 compared to 2018 as interest rates had risen ~rthin the investment portfolio for that window of time Non--0peratmg expense is pnmanly interest expense for long-term debt and intercompany debt A bond issuance in 2020 secured funds for future construction projects, refunded pnor debt, and reduced a

aggregate debt service by $3.7 million Increased interest expense is function of the new construction funds and drove the increase in non-operating expense-. 2019 non--0peratmg expenses were lower than in 2018 as a result of scheduled debt service payments and corresponding reduced interest amounts Capital contributions are related to customer work to extend 9r relocate water mains and services.

  • Increased investment activity in 20_20 shifted investment balances to the non-current classification.

Portions of the proceeds from the new bond 1ssuaQce and unrestricted investments are held among securities with .a maturity beyond one year. ~

In 2019, the investments classified as non-current decreased compared to 2018 due in part to the use of ~

funds for OPERS. Fluctuations based-on actuarial assumptions in other regulatory assets related to ,

pensions and OPEB also contnbute to the change in amounts classified as non-current assets each year.

Deferred outflows of resources represent transactions occurring in future periods and are no_t classified as assets. 2020 deferred outflows of resources decreased due to a reducti9n of pension contri~utions after the measurement date for actuarial*reporting. They h,ad increased in 2019 with $6.6 million paid under the PERS Employer Incentive Fund _program where PERS offered a 25% match to employer contributions.

Compulsory work is mandatory to ensure E_WEB meet$ minimum service, regulatory, and safety :

requirements. Compulsory work develops from both internal and external drivers. There is minimal opportunity to change the compulsory portion of capital plans due to legal and policy requirements.

17

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis I '

Strategic projects and programs are derived from strategic direction and are typically multiyear and multimillion-dollar efforts. Strategic improvements are moderately flexible in nature and can be balanced with efforts to prioritize compulsory work or other drivers, such as affordability or operational improvements.

Risk Based Improvements are elective in that staff can plan and schedule them to balance within the boundaries of the capital plans and the l~ng-term financial plans as well as staffing and resources available. This work is driven by the goal to maintain system condition and Age of Asset metrics in order to maintain reliability. Reducing the level of work in this area will ultimately result in the increase of compulsory work and reduction in reliability.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Restricted net position is subject to external legal restrictions on its use and Is primarily representa~e of reserves for payment' of debt service and deposits of System Development Cha_rges (SOC) for work not

  • yet completed. In 2020, SOC reimbu_rsement reserves were used toward payment of debt service.

Increases from 2019 to 2018 are due to SOC revenue activity outpacing the *use of SOC impr,ovement reserves for eligible capital projects.

Unrestricted net position represents the accumulation of assets that are not capital assets, or subject to external restrictions on their use The Water System's unrestricted net position has increased by 30% and 46% compared to 2019 ~nd 2018, respectively reflecting strong operating activity for the year. Strong operating activity in 2019 contnbuted to the increase in that year.

Overall net posrtion has increased by approximately 6% compared to 2019, and 15% compared to 2018.

The financial position of the Water System has improved wrth strong operatmg activity in 2019 and 2020 Strong operations fueled reserve growth, even with large strategic. uses of funds to lower contnbution rates for pensions.

-Management's Discussion and Analysis Significant totals from the financial statements are below.

Analysis Assets represent the Trust's investment portfolio, which increases with contributions from the Board and investment income. Assets decrease for.benefit payments and reductions in the market value of investments held Liabilities were for administrative and ben-efit payments pending at the end of each year.

Total assets as of December 31, increased each year*from 2018 to 2020. Investment income during 4020

- and 2019 was high. The money-weighted average return was 14.0% for 2020 and 19.8% for 2019. In addition, the Board made a one-time contribution at the end of 2018 The Board paid the actuarially determined contribution (ADC) to the Trust in 2018 and an additional $2 mil.lion in December of 2018 to improve the funded status of its OPES liability. Due to a significant decline in the fair value of the Trust's portfolio in December 2018, the one-time contribution didn't increase 'the Trust's assets until theJair values recovered in 2019 Continued appreciation of fair values during 2019, led to the highest investment returns experienced by the Trust smce its incepbon This pattern of decline and recovery followed by strong increases in fair values of investments was repeated m 2020. lnvestm~nt values decreased sharply, by $1 ..8 million, in March 2020 with investors' reactions-to the pandemic. By the end of May 2020,' the decline experienced in March was nearly fully recovered. See Note 17 for further infonnation on the portfolio's composition al')d investment r~turns.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Contributions consist of payments from the Board and from retirees. The Board makes contribut1':>ns to the Trust monthly according the most recent ADC available.* Annual ADC amounts have been less than total benefit expenses in a year. This is an ~xpected outcome because the benefits are funded by the Trust and because benefit expenses are decreasing over time due to the benefit plan's design.

Contributions from retirees vary with the number of retiree participants and the requirements of their respective benefit plans. Retirees contributed $740,000 in 20?0, $?17,000 in 2019, and $775,000 in 2018.

Total deductions are primarily benefit expenses. Administrative costs are also included. Benefit expenses aeclined by $87,000 in 2020. Benefit expenses first declined significantly in 2019 by app~oXJmately .

$400,000. Prior to th~n, benefit expenses were level for seven years. The number of rE3tirees participating in the plan is near the maximum number of persons who may.qualify to receive a subsidy toward health care insurance in the future. As those participating in the medical benefits have aged, they have transferred from the EWES group medical insurance to Medicare supplement *plans which are less expensive than EVYEB group coverage. Medicare retirees were 7_4% of the plan's retirees participating m medical coverage in 2020, 6.9% m 2018. The significant drop in benefit expenses during 2019, corresponded to a decrease m retiree participation. Census data as of August 31, 2019, showed a population decrea~ of 40 retirees compared to August 31, 2018 *"Additionally, 27 retirees had opted out of the medical coverage they had carried as of the 2018 census.

Overall, the plan's financial position has improved and payments for medical subsidies are expected to continue to decrease over time r

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Pollcies I

Reporting entity Tbe Eugene Water & Electric Board (Board or EWEB) is an administrative unit of the City of Eugene, Oregon. However, as establisHed by the Governmental Accounting Stantjards Board (GASB) definition of a reporting entity, the Board is a p~mary government and is not a component unit of anoth~r entity. The Board is responsible for the ownership and operation of the Electric and Water Systems, and the basic financial statements include these two Systems The Board has a trust for funding post-employment retirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB),

which is a component unit of the Board. Financial statements for the OPEB trust are presented as a fiduciary fund.

The Board p~vides energy and water service to residential, commercial and industrial customers located in a 236 square mile area,_ including the City of Eugene and atjjacent suburban areas. The Board has the authority to fix rates and charges. In order to secure power resources, the Board has taken ownership of various generation facilities, and entered into various power purchase agreements In addition, the Board has partial ovmership in various generation facilities, which are joint ventures or separate entrtJes where the Board has taken an equity position. The operations and sale of energy generated from the Board's relationship with each of the facilities is subject to certain risks Operations are contingent on various factors, such as regulation, licensing agreements, river flow levels* and weather

-patterns -

lne Board is subject to various forms of regulation under federal, state and local ,laws and _is subject to vanous Federal Energy Regulatory c'ommission (FERG) regulations. Laws and regulations are subject to change and.may have a direct impact on the operations of the Board.

Ellmlnations

. Amounts ~ivable and payable between the Electric and Water Systems and related interest earnings and expenses are eliminated in the Total Systems columns of the financial statements (see Note 13).

Method of accounting The Board maintains its accounting re~rds in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America The Board applies accounting and reporting standards of the GASB. The

  • financial statements use a flow o_f economic resources measurement focus to determine financial position and the change in financial position. The accounting principJes used a~e similar to those applicable to busin_esses)n the private sector and are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting*. Revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred.

  • Note 1 - Summary of Slgnfflcant Accounting Pollcles (continued)

Effective January 1, 2019, the Board adopted GASB Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement .

Obligations *and GASB Statement No 88, Certain Disclosures Related to Deb( Including Direct

(

Borrowings and Direct Placements. Statement No. 83 requires recognitipn of liabilities when incurred and reasonably estimable and measurement using probability weighting of current costs. Statement No 88 is to imwove the information disclosed in the notes to the financial s~tements related to debt, including

  • separate information for direct borrowings and direct placements, unused lines of credit, assets pledged as collateral for the debt, and terms specified in debt agreements related to other specrf1c significant events. It also clarifies which liabilities should be included when disclosing information related to debt.

. . _/) '

The accounting and. reporting s~andards established ~y-these statements did not have any impact during the year of implementation. **

Effective January 1, 2019, the Board adopted GASB Statement No: 84, Fiduciary Activities. The

.

  • statem~nt requires r:eporting of fiduciary funds li)<e EWEB's Retirement Benefits Trust for other post-employment benefits (OPEB). Implementation added presentation of the Statements of Fiduciary Net Position and Statements ot' Changes in Fiduciary Net Position as well as related disclosures for the OPEB Plan to the Board's financial statements.

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Board followed FASB EITF 03~11 to account for poV>fer related transactions that-did not result in physical .\

delivery of power. FASB's EITF is not applicable

. to 'the Board under GASB .

. Under the EITF, real~ed gains and losses on these transactions were reported net within wholesale sales and purchased power. Starting in ~019, the Board reported these transactions at gross amounts* The change is expected to reduce the complexity of budgeting and reporting for theseJransact1ons. The change has no effect on n~t operating income in 2019, and prior year.amounts were not reclassified.

In fl/lay 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Oates of Certain Authontative Guidance. The objectiv.e of this Statement is to provide temporary relief from,certain hew

  • accounting and finandal reporti~g requirements in light of the COVID-19 pande~ic. The Statement Is*

effective immediately and the Board has adopted the provisions for the year ended December-31, 2020

In June 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 8~. Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construc~on Peri~. The objective of this Statement.is (1) to enhance the relevance and comparability of information about capital as~ets and the cost of borrowing for a r~porting period and (2) to simplify accounting for .interest cost incurred before the end a construction period. This Statement is effective for the Board in fis~I year 2020. The B~ard previously used provisions of regulatory-accounting to

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally a~pted in the United States of America requ,Ires management to m~ke estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of a~sets an.d liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the da~e of the financial statements and the reported*amounts of revenues and expenses dunng the reporting period.

Actual results could differ from those estimates. *

Recl~ssiflcatlons '

I Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentat1pn. Such r~lassifications have no effect on previous net revenue or net posrtion.

Utlllty plant In service and depreciation Utility plant is stated at onginal cost Costs include labor, materials and related indirect costs, such as engineering, transportation and allowance for funds used dunng construction (1.e. interest) Additions, renewals, and betterments with a cost of $5,000 or greater per item are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements are recorded as operating expenses. Depreciation is computed using straight-line group rates. When property is retired, the property cost and any removal costs are charged to accumulated depreciation. The estimated useful lives of assets are those used commonly in the utility industry or they are based on the Board's experience with similar assets. * '

  • 15-50 Cash equivalents For purposes of these statements, cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near maturity theY. present insignificant risk*of changes in value because of changes in interest rates Generally, only investments with angina!

matunties of three months or less meet this definition The Board considers *money market accounts and gov~mmen~ investment pool holdings to be ciish equivalents *

  • Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of current assets, including unrestncted, designated and restricted cash and investments, and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term_ maturrty of those instruments. The fair value of the Board's investments and debt are estimated based on the quoted

' \

market pnces for the same or similar issues.

Eugene Water & Electric B<;>ard Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Pollcies (continued)

Restricted assets Cash and investments restricted by provisions of bond resolutions and aweements with other parties are identified as restricted assets. When the restricted assets are expendable within the terms of the agreements, it is the Board's policy to spend restricted resources first, then unrestncted re$OUrces as needed. *

  • Materials and supplies Materials and supplies provide for additions and repairs to utility plant and are stated at weighted average co~ -

Prellmlnary lnvestlgatiorn; Preliminary investigations consist of costs for proJects the Board believes will b_e viable in the future.

Regulatory assets The Board has other assets to be charged to future periods matching the reporting periods when the expenses are include~ for rate-making purposes.

  • Conservation assets - Cons*ervation assets for the Electric System represent installations of energy saving _m~sures at customer properties. The conservation asset balance 1s reduced as costs are recovered, which for the most part represent debt service payments included in rates for related borrowing.
  • Unamortized bond issu~ costs - Unamortized bond issue costs represent the remaining expense related to various debt issuances. The asset 1s amortized over the duration of the related debt and recognition of these costs is included in the rate making process.
  • Pension debits- Pension debits represent a portion of the change in net pension liability, as defined under GASB Statement No. 68. Regulatory accounti~g 1s us_ed to recognize_ pension expense in accordance with the required employer contribution rates set by the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Systen:i:
  • Other Post-employmen_t Benefits (OPEB) de~fts- OPEB debits represent a portion of the change in net OPEB liability; as defined under GASB Statement No. 75. Regulatory accounting is used to recognize components of OPE~ expense in accordance wrth employer contributions mad~ by_the Board.

Debt refundings For current and advance refundings resulting in defeasance of debt, the difference between the reacquisition price aqd the n*et carrying amount of the old debt (gain or loss) is deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense ayer the rer,:iaining life of the old debt or the new debt, whichever is shorter. These amounts are reported as a deferred outflow of resources on the statement of net position.

36

Eugene.Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Net position Net posrt1on consists of.

  • Net investment in capital assets - Net investment in capital assets is capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and outstanding balances of any bonds and other borrowings attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement,of I

those assets.

  • Restricted - Restricted components of net position have constraints placed on their use. Constraints include those imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), contnbutors, or laws or regulation of other governments or constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or through enabling legislation.
  • Unrestricted - The unrestricted component of net position includes remaining amounts neither "restrictecf nor "net investment in capital assets."

Operating revenue and expense Operating revenues are recorded on the basis of service delivered while operating expenses include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expanses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses Revenues are deriv09 primarily from the sale and transmission of electricity and from the sale of water Revenue is recognized when power or water is delivered to and received by the customer. Estimated revenues are accrued for power and water delivered but not yet billed to customers.

At the discretion of management, a deposit may be obtained from the customer. Concentrations of credit risk wrth respect to receivables for residential customers are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Board's customer base. Credit losses have been within management's expectations.

Similar to its evaluation of residential, commercial and industrial customers' credit reviews, the Bo9rd continually evaluates rts wholesale power customers (sales for resale rev*enue) by reviewing credit ratings and financial credit worthiness of existing and new wholesale customers.

  • Receivables are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts The allowance is determined by an examinatJon of write 'off experience in the preceding five years, and consideration of other influences as appropriate.

Contributions in lieu of truces In accordance with ORS 225.270, Use of surplus earnings, the Electric System*makes contributions in lieu of tax (CILT) payments to the City of Eugene at the rate of 6% of retail sales and a fixed component equal to $825,000. The fixed amount is subject to certain annual inflationary adjustments. The Board makes GILT payments to the City of Springfield at the rate of 3% of retail sales for a customer wrthin the boundaries of the City of Springfield.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes fo Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Environmental expenses Fish and_ plant habitat enhancements, as well *as pollution prevention improvements are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefits. Most pollution remed1at1on outlays, legal obligations t_o ~ddress existing poll,ution, do n?t qualify for capitalization and are accrued as liabilities and-expenses according to the estimated remediation costs on a current cost basis (rather than presenrvalue 1

of Mure costs).

Note 2 - Power Risk Management The j3oard's Power Risk Management Guidelines set forth policies, limits and control systems governing power purchase and sale activities for the El~ic System. The objectives of such policies are to maximize benefits to the customers from wholesale activities while mir\1m12ing the ris~ wholesale activities will adversely affect retail prices. The Board does not enter into contracts for speculatlve purposes.

During periods when resources are in excess of retail load, the Board may sell excess capacity into the wholesale markets, and is-exposed to commodity price risk. The Board enters into forward contracts intended to manage the price risk associated with power sales in the wholesale market Derivative -financial Instruments In accordance with policy guidelines, the Board utilizes derivative instruments to mmi!11ize rts exposure to commodity pnce risk. Hedging derivatives* are reported on the statement of_net position at fair value. The fair value of options and !>waptions are detennined using_ the Black fonilula. The fair value of financial swaps is detennined by comparing the contract prices with the forecasted market prices.- -

  • All potential hedging denvatives were evaluated for effectiveness using the consistent crrtical tenns method. A derivative in~trument is effective under criteria for consistent critical tenns when the significant tenns of the hedging instrument and the hedgeable item are alike. The significant terms for hedgm*g denvatives are the time period, quantity, price index, and point of delivery.

As of Decembe~ 31, 2020, hedging derivatives with a fair value of $806,000 we~ reported a~ other -

assets and deferred inflows Hedging derivatives with a fair value of $1- .4 million w.ere reported as other liabilities and deferred outflows. Changes in fair value are reported as an increase in other assets or other liabilities and deferred inflows or outflows of resources-until the time of'settlem~nt. When hedging derivatives settle, revenue or expense is recorded as either purchased power or wholesale* sales.

_Hedging denvatives found through testing to be ineffective are classrfied as investment derivatives. At

- that time, the fair value, including any fair value changes previously deferred on the balance sh~t, are recorded as investment revenue and a deferred inflow. or outflow. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no investment denvatives or related investment revenue.

Through this participation, the utility is exposed to credit risk related to the possibil_ity of non-performan-te by its counterparties. To limit the risk* of counterparty default or _non-performance, the Bo.arc!

uses an evaluation process assigning an internal measur~ of credrt worthiness to the Board's counterparties and sets limits to the dollar value of business transacted with counterpart1es. On a case-by-case basis, the Board may require letters of credit, cash collateral, pre-payment or other forms of cre_dit support to ensure counterparty performance. Other assurances may include accelerated invoicing or pre-payment. In addition, the Board generally establishes netting arrangements with counterpart1es.

As of December 31, 2020, all derivative instrument assets were with three counterparties and the aggregate fair value was $806,000. This represents the maximum loss that would be recognized if the c'ounterparties to the derivative instrument assets failed to perform as contracted. Counterparty creel~

ratings ranged from Baa2 to A+. This maximum exposure is reduced by_$669,000 of liabilities included in a netting arrangement.

Termination risk Hedging denvative contracts may be terminated by mutual agreement of the Board and the counterparty, or upon the occurrence of a termination event. Termination events include non-p_ayment, non-delivery, deterioration cf creditworthiness, or other material adverse changes. During the years 2020 and 2019,,

there were no terminations.

Concentration risk is when investments are concentrated in one issuer. This concentration presents a heightened risk of potential loss. This does not apply for pooled investments or investments directly in the US. government. ORS 294.035 limits investment in any single issuer of bonds to 5% of a portfolio, there is not a limit for investment in U S. Agencies. Many government-sponsored agency securities are not back~d by the full faith and credrt of the U.S. government, including those held by the Board, although .-

market participants widely believe the government would provide financial support to an agency if the need arose. The Board does not have a policy for investment concentration in those agencies. Regarding the LGIP, with the exception of pass-through funds, the maximum amount of pooled investments to be placed in the pool is limited by ORS 294.810, Local governments authorized to place limited funds in pool, to* $51.2 million as of December 31, 2020.

The "weighted average maturity in years" calculation assumes all investments are held until maturity.

Euger:ie Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 4- -Cash an_d Investments (continued)

As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses resulting from changes in interest rates, the Board's investment policy limits at least 25% of ~s investment portfolio to maturities _of less than 180 days.

Investment maturities are limited as follows* ' _,1 Maturity Minimum Investment Less than 180_days 25o/o Ldss than 1 year 40%

Custodial credit risk for investments is in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the Board will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral se*cunt1es in the posses_sion of an outside party because they are neither insured nor registered and they are held by the counterparty or the _

counterparty's trust department or agent, but not in the investor's name. All of the aforementioned investments, and the investments i11 the LGIP, which are not evidenced by secunties, are held in the Board's name by a third-party custodian The Board's policy, which adheres to Oregon statutes, is to limit its investments to the top two ratings issued by nationally recognized credit rating organizations:_As a general practice, and in a further effort to minimize credit risk, the Board invests primarily in U.S. agency investments and in the LGIP.

Note 12- Long-Tenn Debt On June 4; 2020, the Water System issued $18.5 m1l!ion in revenue bonds for the purpose of capital improvements and $14.9 m1,llion in revenue refunding bonds. Proceeds from the refunding bonds of $1.4.9 million plus $932,000 released ,from debt service funds were used to refund the Seri~s 2011 bonds and to pay costs of issuance. The refunding reduced aggregate debt service payments through year 2040 by

$3.7 million. The economic gain was $2.2 million On June 11, 2020, the Electric System issued $39.2 million in revenue bonds for the purpose of capital improvements and $16.8 million-in revenue refunding bonds. Proceeds from the refunding bonds of $16.8 million were used to refund a portion of the Series 2012 bonds and to pay costs of issuance. The refunding reduced aggregate debt service payments t~rough year 2038 by $2.7 million. The economic gain was $2 5 million. -

n,e Board has defeased bonds by placing proceeds and other sources of cash in an irrevocable trust to provideJ9r all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly,-the trust account assets and the liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the Board's financial statements. At December 31, 2020, $75.1 million of Electric System' bonds and $14.3 milllon of Water System bonds are considered defeased ($63 1 million of Electric System bo,nds at December 31, 2019).

The resolutions a-uthorizir)g the issuance of revenue bonds contain vanous covenants, sinking fund requirements and obligations wrth which the Board must comply. The pnnc1pal and interest requirements are reflected in the supplementary schedule "Long-Tenn Bonded Debt and Interest Payment Requirements."

Bonneville Power Administration

_Bonneville Power Administration Contract~ - A contract was signed on December 4, 2008 providing power to EWEB from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2028. _The Board reselected a combination of both Block and Slice System power prcx:lucts from those offered by Bonneville Power Administration.

  • -. (BPA) in the previous contract which ended September 30, 2011. While Slice and Block are still the offered prQducts, BPA implemented ne:-v policies on how it s~lls power and what it will charge to meet customer's future load growth. Under BPA's tiered rate methodology policy, BPA' has allocated the power output and_ operational costs of the existing low-cost federal resources into a tier 1 pool., The tier 1 power
  • was allocated to public power customers like EWEB based on each customer's 2010 actual weather-adjusted load. The allocation determined the maximum planned amount of tier 1 power.

60

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 16 .;.. Power Supply Resources (continued)

Each product provides attributes bringing different kinds of flexibility to the Board's power p_ortfolio. The

  • Slice product provides a percentage of BPA's resources rather than a guaranteed amount of power and in exchange the Board-pays its.Slice contract J percentage share of BPA's costs. Slice output, i'n combination with the Block and other E\NEB resources, may be more or less than what is needed to serve EWEB's ho'urly retail loads. In the spring months, available must- run water in the Columbia system is typically high due to the runoff from snow melting,. c:!nd the increased power generation may require BPA to rely on spilling water as_a tool to balance generation with demand. However, to maintain safe water cond1t1ons to protect fish, spills are limited. The risk associated with the Slice product is managing the water variability and available Slice storage to economically meet hourly load obligations and to optimally dispatch the value of the surplus portion ,of the Slice product The Slice product consists of a Slice share of BPA's Federal Base System generation. Under the contract, the Board's initial Slice percentage share is 1.81 %. The -amount of actual power received under the Slice product will vary with seasonal water year conditions, the performance of the Columbia Generating Station (CGS) nuclear plant and the performance and availability of all other Federal Base System resources. In years of heavy water flow and lack of overall storage in the Federal System, the Board may have rights to power in excess of their needs, and in low water years the Board would need to augment rts share of Slice output with its own generation, market purchases, or storage releases from EWEB's share of Slice storage The second BPA product purchased is the Block, which provides a fixed hourly amount for a given month, and varies by month. The value of the Block prcx:luct is the certainty of a fixed volume of energy, shaped to monthly load requirement, and the monthly predictability of prices for the known quantity of power.

The annual amount of power the Board is entitled to under this contract is based on the actual weather adjusted load during the -period between October 1, 2009 and September 30, 2010, with some adjustments specified in BPA's tiered rate methodology, is approximately 250 aMW BPA Transmission Contract- In 2001, the Board signed the Network lntegratio~ Tr_ansmission Service contract with BPA to provide transmi_ssion for the Board's generation projects and BPA power to serve EWEB's load. The current contract term extends through September 30, 2028. EWEB has firm roll-over rights with this contract.

For d_isabled retirees, mortality rates are based on the Pub-2010 generational disabled mortality sex-distinct table.

subject to continual revIsIon as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Experience stud_ies are performed as of December 31 of ev_en numbered y~ars The methods and assumptions shown above are based on the 2018 Experience Study which reviewed experience for the four-year period ending on December 31, 2018.

Discount rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.20 percent for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assu!'lled contributions from plan members and those of the contnbuting employers are made ,at the contractually required rates, as actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all,projected future benefit payments of current plan members.

Therefore, the long-term expected ri:lte of return on pension plan inv~tments for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability .

Long-term expected rat~ of return To develop an analytical basis for the selection of the long-term expected rate of return assumption, the PERS Board reviewed long-term assumptions developed by both Milhman's capital !'llarket assumptions team and the Oregon Investment Council's (OIC) investment advisors. The table below shows rylilliman's assumptions for" each of the asset classes in which the plan was invested based on the OIC, long-term target asset allocation. The OIC's description of each asset class was used to map the target allocation to the ass_et classes shown below. *Each asset class assumption is based on a consistent set of underlying assumptions, and includes adjustment for the inflation assumption.

Postemployment Benefits Plan Other than Pensions Eugene Water & Electric Board Retirement Benefits Trust Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of accountin[!- The accrual basis of accounting 1s used; plan member contributions are recognized when they are due, benefit expenses and refunds are recognized when they are due and payable.

Employer contnbutions are recognized only when they are due and accompanied by a fonnal commitment from the employer to pay them. Changes in the fair value of investments are recognized as increases or decreases to income.

Investment vafues- Investments are measured at fair value as provided by the Corporate Co-Trustee using recognized pricing services. Purchases and sales are recognized on a trade-date basis. Investment income is recognized as it is earned.

Plan description The Board provides postemployment health care and life insurance benefits to certain employees who retire under OPERS with at least 11 years of service at EWES The plan 1s administered by a board of trustees, acting solely on the authorization of EWES, as the Eugene Watejr & Electric Board Retirement Benefits Trust (The Trust). The board of trustees consists of 5 voting members and one commissioner of I

EWES who serves as an ex-officio member with no voting power. The plan is a single-employer defined benefits plan. Plan assets are dedicated solely to providing benefrts to retirees and their beneficiaries, and plan assets are legally protected from cr~itors of the Board and the plan's administrators.

The lrfe insurance benefit is a fixed amount of $5,000 per retiree. Health care coverage is provided in the fonn of a subsidy toward insurance premiums. The subsidy varies wrth ye~rs of service and the benefrts offered by the Board at the time of an employee's hire and retirement. Medicare eligible retirees choose from Medicare supplement plans offered'through OPERS. The subsidy for Medicare supplement coverage 1s established by the Board; however, the coverage is administered by OPERS as a cost sharing plan. Eligible retirees under the age of 65 receive coverage under the group plan the Board offers torts active errpJoyees, until such time as retirees reach Medicare eligib1lrty. Those group benefit/

provisions are established by the Board, and-eoverage is generally 80% of eligible medical costs. Dental and/or vision benefits are offered in a retiree group plan for reti~ with earlier hire and retirernent dates.

During 2016 and 2017, _the 80,;1rd changed plan provisions for active _employees hired on or: after January 1, 2003. At retirement, those employees will not receive a subsidy toward healtti care coverage.

Employees retiring before age 65 continue to have access to EWES healthcare insurance offered to the active employees; however, the retirees pay the insurance premiums in full. This access to coverage before age 65 is also required by Oregon law.

The obligation for payment of insured benefits rests with the insurance companies providing coverage The Board does not guarantee benefits in the event of an insurance company's insolvency.

Custodial credit risk- Cu~ial credit nsk for investments I\> the risk that in the event of the counterparty's failure, the Trust would not be able to recover the value of its investments that are in the possession of an outside party. l_nvestments of the Trust are book entry securities held by the Corporate Co-Trustee who is both the investment manager and custodial trustee. Investments are held in a trust account under the name of the Corporate Co-Trustee, however, custodial-credit risk is avoided because the custodian's internal records identify the Trust as the owner of the securities. '

Bank trust accounts, being neither depository nor' brokerage accounts are not insured.

Fair value measurements - Fair values are the estimated prices that would be received to sell these investments in their principal market Level 1 inputs showing a quoted market price for an identical asset in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for (similar assets in active markets. *Level 3 ir,puts, which is the last category, and doesn't apply to the investments held at December 31, 2020 and 2019 for the OPEBTrust, would include valuation techniques which make use of unobservable inputs using the best information available under the e1rcumstances.

Notes to Financial Statements Note 17 - Ret!rement Benefits (continued)

During 2020, the plan recognized $740,000 in contributions from retirees who had insurance coverage under the Board's group plan for active employees ($717,000 during 2019). The contributions are applied to insurance pren:iiums. Retirees with Medicare Supplement coverage also pay a portion of their premiums, however, those contributions are recognized by the OPERS OPEB plan.

Funding It is the Board's intent to pay the actuarially determined contribution (ADC) to the trust annually.

The ADC was approximately $214,000 and $501,000 for years 2020 and 2019 respectively. *n,e Board ..,,

contributed $462,000 m 2020 and $501,000 dunng 2019. Contributions were recognized in admirnstrative and general expenses: $351,120 for the Electric System and $110,880 for the Water System in 2020

($381,000 for the Electnc System and $120,000 for the Water System m 2019). The expenses differ from the Board'.s OPES expense determined on an actuarial basis, which was $3.3 ~rillion for 2020 ($3 9 million for 2019). The Board has elected to apply regulatory accounting to recognize OPES expense based on the tImmg and amount of contnbutions included in the rate.making process Components of the actuanally determined OPES expense are shown below:

The long-term expected rate of return on the Trust's investments was determined using a building-block method in which,est1mates of expected Mure real rates of return (expected returns, net of investment expense and infla_t1on) are developed for each major asset class. These ~nges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected Mure real rates of return by the current asset allocation percentage, and by adding expected inflation. The asset allocation estimates of ,

arithmetic real rates of return for each asset c_lass are summarized below:

The actuarial funding method used to determine the plan cqst is the er,try age*normal cost method. Ur:ider

-this method the actuarial preseht value of the projected benefits of each active employee included in the valuation is allocat~ on a level.percentage of pay basis over the service life of the employee between entry age (date of hire) and assumed exrt age.

Note 18 - Deferred Compensation The Board offers all employees a deferred compensation plan created*in aqcordance with Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457. The plan permits them to defer a portion of their salary until Mure years. Participation in the plan is optional. Payment from the plan Is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.

  • The Board works with separate investment providers who also provide third-party administration for all deferred compen,sation program funds: Participating employees have several investment options with varying degrees of market risk The Board has no liability for losses under the plan The Board has little administrative involvement with the plan and does not perform the investing function.

Therefore, in accordance with GAAP, the plan assets are not included in the accompanying _Statements of Net Position.

  • Note 19 - Trojan Nuclear Plant The Trojan Nuclear Plant (Project) Is jointly owned by Portland General Electric Company (PGE), 67.5%;

the City of Eugene, acting by and through Eugene Water & Electric Board, 30%, and Pacific Power and Light Company, 2.5%, as tena_nts in common. The Project ceased commercial OP,eration in 1993 and is decommissioned. The Project is now classified as an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation. In accordan*ce with GASB No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, the Project is reported as a joint venture on the equity method of accounting. ,

  • Under the tenns of the Net Billing Agreements, executed in 1970, BPA is _obligated_ to pay*the Board amounts sufficient to pay all of the Board's costs related to the Project including decommissioning and debt service, .no~hstanding the termination of plant output BPA pays those costs primanly by issuing credits against the Net Billing participant's purchases of electricity from BPA, but in some cases also makes payments in cash. The Board is required to transfer from its Electric System Fund to the Trojan Pr_bject Fund an: amount equal to all net'b1lling cr~dits received through this agreement. The Board is then responsible for makin,g payments from the Trojan Project Fund to the Trojan Project for the Board's share of costs.

82

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 19-Trojan Nuclear Plant (continued)

Smee BPA 1s obligated to pay the Board's share of all Trojan Project costs and has provided the Board with legally binding written assurances of its commitment to that obligation, the Board does not expect the closure and decommissioning of the Trojan Project to haye any adverse effect on the Board's Electric or Water Systems. As such, the equity interest in the Project is zero However, under the terms of the onginal agreements, rf one of the tenants in common fails to perform on their financial obligation, the other tenants may be liable This obligation may not be covered under the Net Billing Agreement mentioned previously. However, the Board believes this nsk is minimal.

A summary of the balance sheets for EWEB's share of the Trojan Project as of September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 is as follows.

Self-Insurance The Board 'is expo~ed to various risks of loss because of the Board's self-insurance retention, up to V,e first $2,000,000 of exposure,* per occurrence. Excess liability coverage protects the Board after the Board's self-insured limit is exhausted. However, public entities are also protected under State of Oregon tort limits ORS 30.260 - 30.300, Tort actions against public bodies, which reduce the liability for any single occurrence for property damage or personal injury. Limits are adjusted for the cost of living annually oy the Oregon State Court Administrator. The most recent limits are $126,200 for a single claimant and $630,800 to all claimants for property damage. For injury or death, the most recent limits are

$769,200 for a singll:l claimant and $1,538,300 for multiple claimants. Conse'quently, except in extreme ca~es. the Board's exposure 1s mitigated by law. The limit is subject to change by State of Oregon legislation.

Clai,ms liabilities recorded in the financial statements are based on the estimated ultimate loss as of the statement of net position date, adjusted from current trends through a case-by-case revie1<< of all claims, including incurred but not reported claims. Non-incremental claims adjustment costs such as salaries are not included in the 'claims estimates. At December 31, 2020 a total claims liability of approximately

Note 21 - Temporary Impairment The service utility of the Leaburg hydroelectric project has s1grn1icantly declined Following increased -

seepage along the canal, indicative of unstable soils, FERG deemed the canal a public safety risk and ordered the canal to be dewatered in 2018. Wrthout water, the Leaburg generation plant ceased operations. This was unexpected in the life of the project Seepage along the canal has occurred for decades and,because of the regulatory action taken by FERG, the nature of the impairment is judged to be temporary as of December 31, 2020. Initial canal soil studies concluded in 2020 and the Board continues to discuss possible remediation of the canal for storm water conveyance or restoration to power generation. The path forward is uncertain.

In 2020, carrying values for the project's assets were classified as Property- held for future use on the Statements of Net Position Note 22 - Subsequent Events On- January 5, 2021, Western G~neration Agency reached agreement to sell its generation assets to 'the mill where WGA's generation planfis located, Georgia Paclfic in Wauna, Oregon.

MOSSADAMS Report of Independent Auditors on Compliance and on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Oregon MinimwnAudit Stwtdards ,

Board of Commissioners Eugene Water & Electric Board We have audited the individual and combined financial statements of the Eugene Water & Electnc Board (the "Board") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and have issued our report thereon dated March 19, 2021. We conducted our audit in accordance wtth auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the provisions of the Minimum Standards for Audits of Oregon Municipal Corporations, prescribed by the Secretary of State. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Board's basic financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grants, inclu'ding provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes as specified in Oregon Administrative Rules OAR 162-10-0000 to 162-10-0330, as set forth below, .noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect 6n the determination of financial statement amounts*

  • ThE:l accounting records and related internal control structure.
  • The use of various depositories to secure the deposit of public funds.
  • The requirements relating to insurance f1nd fidelity bond coverage.
  • The appropriate lc!_WS, rules and regulations pertaining to programs funded wholly or partially by other governmental agencies.
  • The statutory requirements pertaining to the investment of public funds.

'-

  • The requirements pertain_ing to the awarding of public contracts and the construction of public improvements.

However, providing an opinion on compliance wrth those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances ofnoncompliance that are required to be reported under Minimum Standards for Audits of Oregon Municipa/. Corporations, prescrioed by the Secretary of State. 0 98

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting '

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Board's inte!71al control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial

_statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Board's internal control. *

  • A* deftCiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow l

management or employees, in the normal course qf performing their assigned fun~ions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on- a timely basis. A material weakness 1s a deficiency, -or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable p-ossib1lrty' that a material mJSstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, .or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is,less severe than a matenal weakness, yet important enough to,merit attention by those charged with governance. - '--

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might .be material weaknesses or significant(deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Purpose of the Report _

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance wrtt, Minimum standards for Audits of Oregon Municipal Corporations, prescribed by the Secretary of State, in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
