Responsibilitiea qf Manci.gementfor the Financial Statemenis :
Management Is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of~ flrianclii statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, Implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation.and fair presentation of financial statements that are tee ~
material misstatement, wh~ther due _to fra~d or error.
2
In preparing the financial statements, management Is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered In the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Board's ablllty to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, Including any currently known lnfonnation that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor'* Responnoilitiesfor the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue an auditor's report that Includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance Is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud Is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, Intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material If there Is a substantial llkellhood that, lndMdually or In the aggregate, they would Influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures Include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of Internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of EWEB's Internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about EWEB's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings and certain Internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary I,iformation Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and pension and OPEB schedules on pages 5 through 21 and 85 through 89 be presented to supplement the financial statements. Such information Is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in 3
accordance with auditing standards. generally accepted In the-United States of Am.erica, which consisted.of Inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the.information and comparing the* lrifurmatlon fo~ consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the financial.
statements,. and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or-provide any *assurance on the Information* because the limited p~ures do not ptovide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysls The followlng discussion provides an overview of the financial results of the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) for the years ended 2022 and 2021. This unaudited discussion Is intended to be used In conjunction with the financial statements and note disclosures following this section.
EWEB is the largest publlcly owned electric 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 City organized the Eugene Water Board to operate the City's electric and water utilities. The name of the Eugene Water Board was changed to the Eugene Water & Electric Board in 1949.
EWEB is chartered by the aty and supplies electric and water service within the city limits of Eugene and to certain areas outside the city limits. EWEB operates as a primary government and Is not considered a component unit of the City. EWEB is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners who are elected by voters residing In the City. The Board of Commissioners has authority to set prices for water and electrlc services. Prices 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, llabllltles, deferred inflows and net position at the end of the financial year, December 31. The Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes In Net Position report revenues and expenses occurring during the financial year. The Statements of Cash Flows report cash from operating activities, investing activities, non-capital financing activities as well as capltal and related financing activities.
Electric System The Electric System supplies service to 97,000 residential, commercial, and Industrial customers within the City of Eugene and areas along the McKenzie River between the cities of Walterville and Vida where two of EWEB's hydro-power plants are located. The total service area covers 236 square mlles. The Electric System owns and operates approximately 1, 150 circuit mlles of overhead and underground distribution lines, 126 circuit mlles of transmission lines, and 38 distribution substations. Power delivered to customers Is supplied by Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) contracts, EWEB-owned generation resources, other contracted resources, and purchases from the wholesale energy markets. EWEB's power supply sources are primarily hydropower, but also include wind, biomass, steam, and solar.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Analysis of financial position and results of operations The Electric System's overall financial position declined in 2022 due primarily to the permanent Impairment of the Leaburg Hydroelectric Project generating assets. This resulted in a loss of $19.9 mllllon recognized as an extraordinary item. Overall financial position Improved in 2021 as a measure of overall increases in net position and net operating income.
The net investment in capital assets component of net position, reflecting the value of capital assets net of the debt incurred to acquire those assets, decreased In 2022 due to the aforementioned Impairment of Leaburg generating assets. The net Investment In capital assets Increased in 2021 due to steady Infrastructure investments that Increased net utlllty plant balances while annual debt service payments reduced the associated debt Capltal asset and debt activity are discussed further In sections below.
Restricted net position is subject to external legal restrictions 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 2022 due to the transfer of debt service reserves In excess of requirements. In 2021 restricted net position decreased following the termination of an agreement related to initial financing of the Harvest Wind Project. Funds held In escrow were released without restriction.
Unrestricted net position represents the accumulation of net position that are not capital assets, or subject to external restrictions on their use. Factors contributing to the unrestricted net position increase in 2022 were varied. A primary driver of the 2022 increase was the strong operating results of the Electric system.
Electric system net operating income was $20.9 million In 2022 and $2.1 million In 2021. The Increase was driven by strong retail demand and higher wholesale energy prices, which more than offset increased power purchases. Depressed economic activity during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced demand In 2021.
Analysis of balances and transactions Operating revenue varies from year to year based on customer load, generation available for sale, and corresponding power market prices.
Residential customers make up approximately 90% of EWES's customer base and approximately 50% of customer revenue. Sales to resldential customers are variable based on weather trends, and traditionally, EWES has been a winter-peaking utlllty. Recent peak loads during extreme summer weather reacted stronger than expected indicating growth of cooling load (building air conditioning) in EVVES's service territory. There were notable heat waves in July and August 2022 and June and August of 2021 where peak loads were comparable though still lower than winter peak loads. Annual average temperatures for 2022 and 2021 were above normal by approximately 1 and 2 degrees Fahrenheit, respectlvely.
Commercial and industrial accounts make up approximately 10% of the EWES customer base, and approximately 50% of customer revenue. Commercial and industrial sales are more reactive to economic conditions rather than weather conditions. Measures taken to stop the spread of COVID-19 restricted businesses' ability to operate to varying degrees throughout much of 2021.
Overall load reductions due to COVID-19 were no longer observed beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and throughout 2022, and commercial demand has recovered to levels prior to pandemic mltlgatlon measures.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis EWEB sold power supply in excess of load Into wholesale markets. The Electric System has an active hedging program to manage price risk associated with wholesale power sales. Reglonally, stronger than normal water supply for hydropower In 2022 contributed to higher wholesale volumes, and market prices increased compared to budget. This Increased the value of EWEB's surplus, but it also Increased the cost of market purchases made during extreme peak load events. In 2021 market prices were higher due to decreased hydro-electric generation In the region.
Electric System operating expenses Include purchased power and wheeling expenses. Prices are set for BPA and contracted resources by thel~ respective contracts, which may escalate over time. Market purchases are made at times when resources aren't adequate for customer load or to support the EWEB hedging program and are subject to price varlabllity to the extent not fully hedged. Purchased power costs increased In 2022 and 2021 as a result of higher market prices, noted above.
Increased fuel costs for a co-generation plant In 2022 and 2021 contributed to the rise in steam and hydraulic generation costs. In addition, there were higher labor, dam safety, and maintenance expenses In 2022.
Collection and customer assistance costs increased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to labor Increases and purchased services.
Administrative and general costs Increased In 2022 and 2021 due to multlple factors, Including labor Increases, software costs, Insurance and purchased services.
Depreciation expense increased In 2022 and 2021 as a function of prior year capltal closeout activity.
Various assets were finished near the end of the year, including improvements at the Carmen Smith facllity, and depreciation recognition began early in the following year.
For the Electric System, n~peratlng revenue was primarily miscellaneous revenue from sources unrelated to core business functions, Including Investment earnings and losses, rental revenue and claims revenue.
Non-operating revenue decreased in 2022 compared to 2021. In 2021, non-operating revenue included recognition of a $3.5 mlllion public assistance grant from FEMA tied to the 2020 Hollday Farm Fire. Also, In 2021 earnings from equity investments, Western Generation Agency (>NGA) and Harvest Wind, were
$3.2 mlllion. In addition, investment losses increased In 2022 as rising Interest rates contributed to unrealized losses in the Investment portfolio.
Early in 2021, WGA agreed to sell its generation assets to the mill where WGA's generation plant is located, Georgia Pacific in Wauna, Oregon. The $3.5 mlllion sale occurred in Aprll 2021 and non-operating revenues recognized In 2021 Include EWEB's allocation of sale proceeds.
Non-operating expense Is primarily interest expense for long-term debt and other revenue deductions Including taxes and losses on the disposition of property.
Extraordinary and special Items consisted of the recognition of the permanent Impairment of generating assets at the Leaburg Hydroelectric Project 9
Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Other transactions of note Include the Oregon Public Employee Retirement System (OPERS) valuation.
The net pension llablllty for the Electric System Increased by $13.5 million from 2021 to 2022. From 2020 to 2021, the net pension liability decreased by $27 mllllon for the Bectrlc System. For more information, see Note 16 - Retirement Benefits.
Significant variations in original and flnal budget amounts The Board of Commissioners has authority to set prices and annually budgets for spending in two categories: Capital and Operations & Maintenance (O&M). Annual budgets dictate revenue requirements and rate changes among different customer classes based on a cost-of-service analysis.
Recent residential price adjustments have been as follows:
2022 2021 2020 3.25%
No change No change For the Electric System, significant variations In the original and final O&M budget tend to revolve around purchased power costs. Volatllity in regional energy markets has Increased in recent years and Is accentuated by supply and/or demand during extreme weather events. Purchased power budgets were set under the assumptions of a 90% water flow year for regional hydro generation and included reduced demand due to COVID-19.

Purchase Power otal O&M Budget Amendment otal Amended o&M Bud ets 2022 An increase of $22.0 million to the Electric O&M budget was approved In December 2022 as purchase power costs exceeded budgeted amounts due to Increased retail demand and portfolio balancing activity.
Due to a strong water year and higher wholesale energy prices, additional wholesale revenue exceeded budget by $26.1 million. In addition, retall demand exceeded budget by $15.6 mllllon. Favorable revenues In retail and wholesale more than offset additional purchase power costs.
Electric capital budgets were not amended In 2022.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Analysis of flnanclal position and results of operations The Water System's overall financial position improved In 2022 and 2021 as a measure of overall Increases In net position and net operating Income.
The net Investment in capital assets component of net position, reflecting the value of capital assets net of the debt incurred to acquire those assets, increased in 2022 and 2021. Capital asset additions such as storage tank construction, main replacements and improvements, advanced metering Infrastructure, and Hayden Bridge Improvements have Increased plant values and decreases in associated debt occurred as annual debt service payments were made.,
Restricted net position Is subject to external legal restrictions on Its use and Is primarily representative of reserves for payment of debt service and System Development Charges (SDC). The use of SDC Improvement reserves for capital improvements and SDC reimbursement reserves toward payment of debt service decreased restricted net position in 2022. The use of SDC reimbursement reserves toward payment of debt service decreased restricted net position In 2021.
Unrestricted net position represents the accumulation of assets that are not capital assets, or subject to external restrictions on their use. Unrestricted net position decreased in 2022 due the use of unrestricted net assets for capital Improvements.
Analysis of balances and transactions Consumption of water varies depending on the season and the weather patterns of a particular year with peak consumption in the summer months. In 2022, consumption decreased as drought conditions eased.
In 2021, overall consumption increased as drought conditions in Oregon corresponded with higher-than-normal consumption through the spring and summer months. Annual water production was the highest since 2008.
In the wake of the Holiday Farm Fire during September 2020, significant recovery needs were identified within the McKenzie River Watershed. In planning for Increased source protection and water quality efforts, a Watershed Recovery Fee took effect In July 2021. The Watershed Recovery Fee is assessed to all residential and commercial customers based on meter size. For most residential and business customers, the fee is a flat $3 per month (based on a 1-lnch or smaller water meter). Some customers, such as large businesses and those with extensive Irrigation needs, pay more ($4.50 to $30 per month) based on meter size.
Resldentlal 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 and Industrial. 2021 consumption and revenue increased, due to drought conditions beginning earty In the year. 2022 consumption decreased as drought conditions eased, with the second quarter seeing an increase of over 7 inches In rainfall compared to 2021, which delayed peak consumption In the summer months.
Commercial and industrial accounts make up 10% of the Water System's customer base, and approximately 40% of retail sales. Commercial sales Increased In 2021, with drought conditions early In the year and an early start to the irrigation season. In 2022 consumption decreased due to Improvement in drought conditions, while revenues were consistent due to rate increases.
Wholesale sales include sales to River Road and Santa Clara Water Districts, the City of Veneta, and the WIiiamette Water Company.
15
Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis The Water System pumps and purifies all water sold and does not have wholesale purchase expense.
The largest production expenses are purification and transmission and distribution of water. Other significant expenses are administrative and general, and depreciation. 2022 and 2021 Increases In source of supply were geared toward the McKenzie River Watershed restoration efforts In the wake of the Holiday Farm fire. Increased costs are funded through the Watershed Recovery Fee that took effect July 2021, noted above, and grant funding, when available. Transmission and distribution costs were higher In 2022 due to contract work for patching and paving and increased labor costs in operating expense.
Administrative and general costs increased In 2022 due to multiple factors, including labor Increases, software costs, Insurance and purchased services.
Similar to the Electric System, depreciation expense Increased in 2022 and 2021 as a function of prior year capital closeout activity. Various assets were finished near the end of the year and depreciation recognition began early In the following year.
Other transactions of note Include the OPERS valuation. The net pension llablllty for the Water System Increased by $4.2 million from 2021 to 2022. From 2020 to 2021, the net pension llablllty decreased by
$8.5 mllllon for the Water System. For more Information, see Note 16 - Retirement benefits.
Analysis of significant variations between original and final budget amounts The Board of Commissioners has authority to set prices and annual budgets for spending in two categories: capital and Operations & Maintenance (O&M). Annual budgets dictate revenue requirements and rate changes among different customer classes based on a cost-of-service analysis.
Recent residential price adjustments have been as follows:
2022 2021 2020 4.00%
No change No change Watershed recovery efforts leveraged grant programs and partnership funding through the course of 2022.
Additional spending authority of $1.2 million corresponds to increased watershed efforts tied to grant programs and partnerships. Grant revenue and reimbursable work offset this increased level of spending.

26,515, 1,200, 1500 29 215 Deferred capital activity related to distribution system facllitles, pipes, and services shifted labor, equipment, and material costs from capital to O&M. An increase in O&M costs was approved and offset by a decrease to capital budgets as noted below.
16
Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysls The shift from Cap Ital to O&M for the Water Utility Increased O&M by $1.5 mlllion and would typically reduce budgeted capital spending. However, contracted construction projects continued pace Into the end of the year and $1.5 million was maintained for sufficient budget authority for the ongoing work.
Contracted capital activities, such as the East 40th storage project, do not cause a transfer of costs from capital to O&M the same way internally resourced work does and are contingent on the timing and pace of work. Accordingly, overall capital spending was at budget for the year, however due to the nature of the projects, there is an expected shift to O&M for some costs that had previously been budgeted in capital.
The net effect to capital budgets did not require an amendment pproved Capital Budget Shift from Capital to O&M ontracted Capital otal Projected Capital Budget Amendment Following the Holiday Farm Fire during September 2020, significant recovery needs were Identified within the McKenzie River Watershed.

2022 activity Included:
Source - Water intakes & FIitration Plant: Numerous smaller projects were completed at Hayden Bridge in 2022. These Included significant progress on the new powder activated carbon system and replacement of variable frequency drives at the finish water pump station. In addition, the project to replace the water utlllty Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system was Initiated with significant progress made over the course of the year.
Distribution Pipe and Services - Water main replacements and improvements are the largest component of the Type 1 work. Whlle supply chain Issues continued to affect projects, several large projects were completed. These include main replacements on Polk Ave, 8111 Ave, Candlelight Dr., and Lorane Highway.
Type 2 capital projects are discrete, with a defined completion period, and lifetime expenditures over $1 million. Depending on the project, this work may be funded with rates, customer contributions, or bond funds.
2021 activity included:
Second phase of a 42-lnch transmission main project extending from the EWEB headquarters site across University of Oregon property E. 40th Reservoir - Excavation work occurred for two tanks at this site AMI - The deployment of water meters continues but at the rate of 30% of the original plan 2022 activity included:
E. 40111 Reservoirs - Significant construction progress was made on this project with approximately 80% of the concrete pours competed for the two storage tanks.
Hilyard St Transmission Main - Design was completed for this water transmission project which will serve the new E. 40111 Reservoirs.
Shasta 975 Reservoirs - Design was completed to a 90% level for this upper-level reservoir replacement.
Type 3 projects are large strategic programs with long term impacts and are generally bond funded.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysls 2021 activity included:
Work in this area was focused on contlmJed efforts to construct emergency water distribution sites. Effort was largely focused on the South Eugene site. Coordination efforts with the Eugene School District, City of Eugene, and the YMCA delayed construction on this site. Planning efforts continued tor potential emergency sites in Southeast and ~uthwest Eugene 2022 activity Included:
Emergency Water Distribution Sites - The majority of work In this area was focused on continued efforts to construct emergency water distribution sites at two locations: at the new YMCA in South Eugene and at Churchill High School. Wells were drilled and water treatment equipment purchased. Construction is In progress at both sites.
Willamette Treatment Plant - Land Use and Federal Permitting efforts were initiated In late 2022 for this project as well as a value engineering evaluation of the proposed river Intake.
More Information about plant activity Is available in Note 3 - Utility Plant, In the note disclosures to the financial statements.
Long-term debt activity, credit ratings, debt service coverage The Water System issues revenue bonds or notes payable to fund certain capital projects. During 2022 and 2021, the Water System made scheduled debt service payments. For more information, see Note 12
- Long-Term Debt and Note 13 - lntersystem Items.
Water System bonds are rated as follows:
Moody's Investors Service Aa2.
S&P Global Ratings AA Rtch Ratings AA+
The Water System monitors Debt Service Coverage as a requirement under its master bond resolution.
Under the resolution, net revenues available for debt service must be at least 1.25x the annual debt service on all outstanding bonds. Within financial policy, the Board targets a range,of 2.0x - 2.5x for debt service coverage.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Retirement Benefits Trust The Eugene Water & Electric Board Retirement Benefits Trust (the Trust) was created In 2007 to fund other post-employment benefits (OPEB). The plan provides $5,000 life insurance coverage for all retirees and subsidies toward health insurance coverage under either the EWEB group plan or the Oregon PERS Health Insurance Program (Oregon PHIP) Medicare plans for retirees meeting ellgiblllty criteria. Plan changes in 2016 and 2017 removed the health care subsidies available to employees upon retirement If they were hired after 2002.
Financial statements for the Trust, Including accompanying notes, are a set of two statements. The statement of fiduciary net ppsitiorr reports the assets, llablllties, and net position held In trust on the day of December 31 for the years presented. The statement of changes in net position, reflects the sources and uses of plan assets over the one-year periods presented. More Information about the plan Is provided In Note 16 and the Required Supplementary Information.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Management's Discussion and Analysis Contributions were relatlvely stable for years 2020 through 2022. They were primarily from retirees. The plan reports contributions from retirees who have EWEB group health care. Those contributions are applled directly to insurance premiums. So, those payments are reported in equal measure as contributions and benefit expenses. Contributions from retirees were $568,000 In 2022, $684,000 In 2021, and $740,000 in 2020. The decrease In contributions each year corresponds to decreases in the number of retirees enrolled In EWEB group coverage. There were increases In premiums for that coverage during each of the years presented in the Condensed Financial lnfonnatlon.
Contributions from the Board to the Trust are based on the most recent actuarlally determined contribution (ADC) for the OPEB plan. ADC amounts are based on expected cash flows from the Trust over the expected life of the plan. Those cash flows are less than implled by the Board's OPEB liability, which is reported by the Electric and Water systems. The Board's OPEB llability, detennlned with GASB standards, Includes an impllcit liablllty, which won't be paid from the Trust. Also, the assumed investment return for the ADC, is reduced when detennlnlng the OPEB llabllity by blending the rate of return with the rate of 20-year municipal general obligation bonds. The ADC for 2022, received In 2023, was $348,000.
The Board contributed $297,000 during 2022. The ADC for 2021, based on Trust assets which had appreciated from strong investment returns, was $0. The Board contributed $176,000 to the Trust in 2021. The Board's contributions were $462,000 during 2020.
Deductions are prlmarlly'benefit expenses. Benefit expenses declined gradually each year as retirees became Medicare eligible. When retirees become Medicare eligible, they are no longer covered under the EWEB group plan. Retirees who meet the Board's OPEB plan eligibility requirements can enroll in a Medicare supplement plan offered through Oregon's PHIP with a subsidy from EWEB. Those retirees also make contributions toward their coverage. Those contributions are reported with the Oregon PERS financial statements. Premiums for the Medicare supplement plans are substantially less than the premiums for EWEB group coverage. Most of the Board's OPEB plan participants who have medical coverage are Medicare ellglble. Retirees participating In Medicare related coverage were 80% of EVVEB's OPEB plan participants with medical coverage when measured as of August 31, 2022. This was a 6%
increase frop, August 31, 2020.
While the plan's net position declined during 2022, the plan was still well funded based on the ADC.
Benefit expenses are expected to continue to decline due to the plan's design which limits eliglblllty for subsidized medical care.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Pollclea Reporting entity The Eugene Water & Electric Board (Board or EWEB) Is an administrative unit of the City of Eugene, Oregon. However, as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) definition of a reporting entity, the Board is a primary government and is not a component unit of another entity. The Board is responsible for the ownership and operation of the Electrlc 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 provides energy and water service to residential, commercial, and industrial customers located in a 236 square mile area, including the City of Eugene and adjacent 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 ownership in various generation facilities, which are joint ventures or separate entities 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.
The Board is subject to various forms of regulation under federal, state and local laws and is subject to various Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulations. Laws and regulations are subject to change and may have a direct impact on the operations of the Board.
Ellmlnatlons Amounts receivable 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 records 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 of economic resources measurement focus to determine financial position and the change in financial position. The accounting principles used are similar to those applicable to businesses In the private sector and are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when Incurred.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Flnanclal Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Pollcles (continued)
In June 2017, GASB Issued statement No. 87, Leases. The Statement requires recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities that were previously defined as operating leases. Under this Statement, a lessee Is required to recognize a lease llabllity and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred Inflow of resources. The amended effective date was for periods beginning after June 15, 2021.
Changes adopted to conform to the provisions of Statement 87 were applied retroactively by restating the financial statements for 2021. The adjustment did not have a material effect on the change In net position for the year ended December 31, 2021. Leases were recognized If their estimated undiscounted value as of January 1, 2021, met a policy threshold of $500,000 per contract or In the aggregate for a category of assets where contract terms are substantially alike. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, this resulted in recognition of Electric System leases receivable for pole attachment agreements, which met this threshold with its aggregate value.

Portions of the Statement were effective Immediately and the Board adopted the provisions for the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in no current year Impact 32
Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Pollcles (continued)
Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and llabllities and disclosure of contingent assets and liablllties at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Utlllty plant In service and depreciation Utlllty plant is stated at orlglnal cost. Costs include labor, materials, and related indirect costs, such as engineering and transportation. Additions, renewals, and betterments with a cost of $5,000 or greater per item are capltallzed. 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 utlllty industry, or they are based on the Board's experience with simllar assets.

Cash equivalents For purposes of these statements, cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid Investments both readlly convertlble 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 original maturities of three months or less meet this definition. The Board considers money market accounts and government investment pool holdings to be cash equivalents.
Fair value of flnanclal Instruments The carrying amounts of current assets, including unrestricted, designated and restricted cash and Investments, and current llabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the Board's investments and debt are estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or simllar Issues.
Restricted assets Cash and investments restricted by provisions of bond resolutions and agreements 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 unrestricted resources as needed.
Leases Leases receivable or payable are the present value of lease payments expected during a lease term.
Recognition Is limited to contracts where the undiscounted value met a pollcy threshold of $500,000 per contract or in the aggregate for a category of assets where contract terms are substantially alike.
Materials and supplies Materials and supplies provide for additions and repairs to utlllty plant and are stated at weighted average cost Prellmlnary Investigations Preliminary Investigations consist of costs for projects the Board believes will be 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 included for rate-making purposes.
Conservation assets - Conservation assets for the Electrlc System represent installations of energy saving measures at customer properties. The conservation asset balance Is reduced as costs are recovered, which for the most part represent debt service payments Included In rates for related borrowing.
Unamortized bond Issue costs - Unamortized bond Issue costs represent the remaining expense related to various debt Issuances. The asset Is amortized over the duration of the related debt and recognition of these costs is included In the rate making process.
34
Eugene Water & Electrlc Board Notes to Flnanclal Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Pension debits - Pension debits represent a portion of the change In net pension liability, as defined under GASB Statement No. 68. Regulatory accounting is used fo recognize pension expense In accordance with the required employer contribution rates set by the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System.
Other Post-employment Benefits (OPEB) debits - 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 OPEB expense In accordance with employer contributions made by the Board.
Debt refunding&
For current and advance refundlngs resulting In defeasance of debt, the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt (gain or loss) Is deferred and amortized as a component of Interest expense over the remaining llfe 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.
Compenaated absences Employees accrue vacation leave in varying amounts according to their years of service. The maximum vacation accrual an employee can carry over Is 240 hours0.00278 days <br />0.0667 hours <br />3.968254e-4 weeks <br />9.132e-5 months <br />.

Employees terminating for any reason are ellgible to receive payment for unused vacation leave balances. Accrued liabilltles for vacation leave were $4.4 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and presented as part of the accrued payroll and benefits liability.
Sick leave accrues bl-weekly, at a rate of 3.69 hours7.986111e-4 days <br />0.0192 hours <br />1.140873e-4 weeks <br />2.62545e-5 months <br /> per pay period (pro-rated for part-time employees).
There Is no limlt to the amount of sick leave an employee can accrue. Retiring employees have cash out options depending on their PERS ner. Employees terminating prior to retirement forfeit unused sick leave. Sick leave liabilities are estimated based on sick leave accumulated as of December 31 by those employees who currently are eligible to receive termination payments, as well as other employees who are expected to become eligible In the Mure to receive such payments. Accrual for those employees who are expected to become eligible In the Mure are based on assumptions concerning the probability an individual employee will become ellglble to receive terminatlo_n benefits at retirement. Accrued liablllties for sick leave were $1.2 million and $1.1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and presented as part of the other liabilities.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Flnancial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Net position Net position 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 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), contributors, 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 "restricted" nor "net investment In capital assets.*
Operating revenue and expense Operating revenues are recorded on the basis of service dellvered while operating expenses Include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capltal assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Revenues are derived 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 bllled to customers.
At the discretion of management, a deposit may be obtained from the customer. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables for residential customers are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Board's custome~ base. Credit losses have been within management's expectations.
Similar to its evaluation of residential, commercial and Industrial customers' credit reviews, _the Board continually evaluates its wholesale power customers (sales for resale revenue) by reviewing credit ratings and financial credit worthiness of existing and new wholesale customers.
Recelvables are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is determined by an examination of write off experience in the preceding five years, and consideration of other influences as appropriate.
Contributions In lleu of taxes In accordance with ORS 225.270, Use of surplus earnings, the Electric System makes contributions in lieu of tax (CIL n 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 CIL T payments to the City of Springfield at the rate of 3% of retall sales for a customer within the boundaries of the City of Springfield.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Pollcles (continued)
Envlronmental expenses Fish and plant habitat enhancements, as well as pollution prevention Improvements are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefits. Most pollution remediation outlays, legal obllgatlons to address existing pollution, do not qualify for capltallzatlon and are accrued as liabllltles and expenses according to the estimated remediation costs on a current cost basis (rather than present value of future costs)..
Note 2 - Power Risk Management The Board's Power Risk Management Guidelines set forth policies, llmlts and control systems governing power purchase and sale actMtles for the Electric System. The objectives of such policies are to maximize benefits to the customers from wholesale activities while minimizing the risk wholesale activities will adversely affect retail prices. The Board does not enter Into contracts for speculative 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 flnanclal Instruments In accordance with policy guidelines, the Board utilizes derivative Instruments to minimize Its exposure to commodity price risk. Hedging derivatives are reported on the statement of net position at fair value. The fair value of options and swaptions are determined using the Black formula. The fair value of financial swaps Is determined by comparing the contract prices with the forecasted market prices.
All potential hedging derivatives were evaluated for effectiveness using the consistent crltlcal terms method. A derivative Instrument Is effective under criteria for consistent crltlcal terms when the significant terms of the hedging instrument and the hedgeable Item are alike. The significant terms for hedging derivatives are the time period, quantity, price index, and point of dellvery.
As of December 31, 2022, there were no hedging derivatives or related deferred Inflows or outflows.
Changes In fair value are reported as an increase In other assets or other llabllitles and deferred inflows or outflows of resources until the time of settlement When hedging derivatives settle, revenue or expense Is recorded as either purchased power or wholesale sales.
37
Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Flnanclal Statements Note 2 - Power Risk Management (continued)
Investment derivatives Hedging derivatives found through testing to be ineffective are classified as investment derivatives. At that time, the fair value, including any fair value changes previously deferred on the balance sheet, are recorded as investment revenue and a deferred inflow or outflow. A gain of $35,000 was recognized in invesbnents earnings from derivatives In 2022. As of December 31,2022 there were no invesbnent derivatives. A loss of $35,000 was recognized in investment earnings from derivatives In 2021. As of December 31, 2021, Investment derivatives with a fair value of $6,500 were recorded as deferred outflows of resources, and Investment derivatives with a fair value of $41,000 were recorded as deferred Inflows of resources.

Through this participation, the utility Is exposed to credit risk related to the possibility of non-performance by Its counterpartles. To llmlt the risk of counterparty default or non-performance, the Board uses an evaluation process assigning an Internal measure of credit worthiness to the Board's counterpartles and sets llmits to the dollar value of business transacted with counterpartles. On a case-by-case basis, the Board may require letters of credit, cash collateral, pre-payment or other forms of credit support to ensure counterparty performance. Other assu~nces may Include accelerated invoicing or pre-payment In addition, the Board generally establishes netting arrangements with counterpartles.
As of December 31, 2022 there were no derivative Instrument assets.
- Termination risk Hedging derivative 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-payment, non-delivery, deterioration of creditworthiness, or other material adverse changes. During the years 2022 and 2021, there were no terminations.

Custodial credit risk for deposits Is in the event of fallure of a depository financial institution a depositor will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities In possession of an outside party. Deposits not covered by depository Insurance are exposed to custodial credit risk when collateral for deposits Is held by the pledging Institution or Its trust department or agency, but not In the name of the depositor. Within the Public Funds Collaterallzation Program (PFCP) In Oregon, securltles pledged by financial Institutions are required to be held in the name of the pool, and, therefore, cannot be In the Board's name. However, provided an entity is recognized by the PFCP administrator as an entity covered by the pool, balances in excess of Fo-lC are covered by the collateral of the pool.
The Board's investments during the year, which included obllgatlons of the U.S. Government, are authorized by State of Oregon Statutes and bond resolution and by the Board's investment policy.

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 U.S. government ORS 294.035 limlts investment In any single Issuer of bonds to 5% of a portfollo; there is not a limit for Investment In U.S. Agencies. Many government-sponsored agency securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, including those held by the Board, although market participants widely believe the government would provide financlal 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 1\\1 the pool ls limited by ORS 294.810, Local governments authorized to place 1/mited funds in pool, to $56.8 million as of December 31, 2022.
The "weighted average maturity in years" calculation assumes all investments are held until maturity.

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 securities In the possession of en outside party because they ere neither Insured nor registered and they ere held by the counterparty or the counterperty's trust department or agent, but not In the investor's name. All of the aforementioned Investments, and the Investments in the LGIP, which are not evidenced by securities, 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.

Roosevelt Operations Center The Electric System financed the acquisition and construction of the Board's Roosevelt Operations Center consisting of land, bulldlngs, equipment and personal property placed Into service during November 2010. Both the Electric and Water Systems occupy the property. A payment schedule was established in November 2010 whereby the Water System will repay the Electric System for its estimated share of the fair value of the property and the associated financing costs incurred by the Electric System without gain to the Electric System. The Roosevelt Operations Center was recorded in equal amounts as Plant In Service and an obligation for the Water System, along with depreciation expense and a receivable for the Electric System.
Payments are revised for refinancing of underlying debt Incurred by the Electric System. The obligation Is also revised for capitalized improvements at the facility If they are financed by the Electric System.
Monthly payments were approximately $44,000 as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, on a capitalized value of $17.6 million for the Water System.
Annual totals for payments (Including interest) as of December 31, 2022, were as follows:

$ 395,426,996 187,759,585 Note 15 - Power Supply Resources Bonnevllle Power Administration Bonneville Power Administration Contracts - A contract was signed on December 4, 2008 providing
~r to EWEB from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2028. The Board reselected a combination of both Block and Slice System power products from those offered by Bonneville Power Administration (BPA} In the previous contract which ended September 30, 2011. Whlle Slice and Block are still the offered products, BPA Implemented new policies on how it sells 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 allocatlon determined the maximum planned amount of tier 1 power.
Each product provides attributes bringing different kinds of flexibility to the Board's power portfolio. 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 percentage share of BPA's costs. Slice output, in combination with the Block and other EWEB resources, may be more or less than what is needed to serve EWEB's hourly retail loads. In the spring months, available must-run water In the Columbia system is typically high due to the runoff from snow melting, and the Increased power generation may require BPA to rely on spllllng water as a tool to balance generation with demand. However, to maintain safe water conditions 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
..J 59
Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 S - Power Supply Resources (continued)
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 nuclear plant and the performance and availablllty 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 its share of Slice output with its own generation, market purchases, or storage releases from EWEB's share of Sllce 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 product is the certainty of a fixed volume of energy, shaped to monthly load requirement, and the monthly predictablllty 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. The current contract term extends through September 30, 2028 and regional discussions about the next BPA contract have begun. The Board will have a priority right to BPA power products available under the next contract BPA Transmission Contract-In 2001, the Board signed the Network Integration Transmission Service contract with BPA to provide transmission 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.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Flnanclal Statements Note 16 - Retirement Benefits (continued)
Contributions PERS funding policy provides for monthly employer contributions at actuarially determined rates. These contributions, expressed as a percentage of covered payroll, are intended to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. This funding policy applies to the PERS Defined Benefit Plan and the Other Postemployment Benefit Plans.
Effective in 2017, the Board elected to join the State & Local Government Rate Pool {SLGRP) rather than continue as an Independent employer. The Board made a one-time contribution of $32.6 million In 2018 to cover the transition liability associated with joining the pool. The transition liablllty was the estimated amount needed to achieve rate equity with other members of the pool. During 2019, the Board made a lump-sum contribution to a side account of $22 mllllon to qualify for a matching contribution from the Oregon Employer Incentive Fund of $5.5 mllllon. The Board's employer contribution rates were reduced, effective November 1, 2019, as a result of these contributions.
Employer contribution rates are based on a percentage of payroll and are established each biennium of odd-numbered years. The Board's rates during July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2023, were based on the December 31, 2019 actuarial valuation. Rates during this period were 19.16% for Tier One/Tier Two members and 15.94% for OPSRP. The Board's rates during November 1, 2019, through June 30, 2021 were 19.35% for Tier Onemer Two members and 13.79% for OPSRP based on the December 31, 2017 actuarial valuation and the effects of the side account deposit made in 2019. Employer contributions based on payroll for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $9 mllllon ($7.4 million In 2021).
The state of Oregon and certain schools, community colleges, and political subdivisions have made Jump sum payments to establish side accounts, and their rates have been reduced. In addition to the side account deposit the Board made in 2019, the Board elected to make lump-sum payments to OPERS during 2007 and 2001, which has had the effect of lowering the employer contribution rates.
Pension llablllty, pension expense, deferred outflows of resources, and deferred Inflows of resources related to pensions At December 31, 2022, the Board reported a net pension liability of $57.6 million for Its proportionate share of the OPERS net pension liabllity ($39.9 milllon in 2021 ). The net pension liablllty was measured as of June 30, 2022 {as of June 30, 2021, for December 31, 2021) and the total pension liability for each plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2020, rolled forward to June 30, 2022, and an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2019, rolled forward to June 30, 2021, using standard update procedures. The Board's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Board's long-term share of contributions to the plan relative to the projected contributions for all participating employers, actuarially determined. The Board's proportionate share of the net pension liability as of June 30, 2022 was 0.37648006% {0.33381769% as of June 30, 2021 ).

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 16 - Retirement Benefits (continued)
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Board's proportionate share of system pension expense was
$8. 7 million ($5.8 mllllon In 2021 ). The Board has elected to use regulatory accounting to *recognize pension expense in conjunction with the required employer contribution rates. Accordingly, the Board recognized pension expense related to lier One/Tier Two and OPSRP of $9 mllllon ($7.4 million In 2021 ).
The Board reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred Inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

Mortallty rates for healthy retirees and beneficiaries were based on the Pub-2010 sex-distinct tables, as appropriate. Mortality rates for active members are a percentage of healthy retiree rates that vary by group, as described in the valuation. For disabled retirees, mortality rates are based on the Pub-2010 generational disabled mortality sex-distinct table.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of projected benefits and assumptions about the probability of events far Into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Experience studies are performed as of December 31 of even numbered years. The methods and assumptions shown above are based on the 2020 Experience Study which reviewed experience for the four-year period ending on December 31, 2020.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Flnanclal Statements Note 16 - Retirement Benefits (continued)
Discount rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 percent for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed contributions from plan members and those of the contributing 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 rate of return on pension plan Investments for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Long-term expected rate of return To develop an analytical basis for the selection of the long-term expected rate of return assumption for June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, the PERS Board reviewed long-term assumptions developed by both Mllliman's capital market assumptions team and the Oregon Investment Council's {OIC) Investment advisors. The table below shows Mllliman'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 asset classes shown below. Each asset class assumption Is based on a consistent set of underlying assumptions and Includes adjustment for the inflation assumption.
These assumptions are not based on historical returns, but instead are based on a forward-looking capital market economic model.

/
Eugene Water & Electric Board Retirement Benefits Trust Summary of significant accounting pollcles Basis of accounting - The accrual basis of accounting Is used; plan member contributions are recognized when they are due, benefit expenses and refunds are recognized wt:ien they are due and payable.
Employer contributions are recognized only when they are due and accompanied by a formal commitment from the employer to pay them. Changes In the fair value of investments are recognized as increases or decreases to income.
Investment values - 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 EWEB. The plan is administered by a board of trustees, acting solely on the authorization of EWEB, as the Eugene Water & Electric Board Retirement Benefits Trust (The Trust). The board of trustees consists of 5 voting members and one commissioner of EWEB 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 benefits to retirees and their beneficiaries, and plan assets are legally protected from creditors of the Board and the p!an's administrators.
70
Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 16 - Retirement Benefits (continued)
The life Insurance benefit is a fixed amount of $5,000 per retiree. Health care coverage Is provided in the form of a subsidy toward insurance premiums. The subsidy varies with years of service and the benefits offered by the Board at the time of an employee's hire and retirement Medicare eligible retirees choose from Medicare plans offered through the Oregon PERS Health Insurance Program (PHIP). The subsidy for Medicare coverage Is 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 to Its active employees, until such time as retirees are Medicare ellgibile. Those group benefit provisions are established by the Board. Dental and/or vision benefits are offered in a retiree group plan for retirees with earlier hire and retirement dates.
During 2016 and 2017, the Board changed plan provisions for active employees hired on or after January 1, 2003. At retirement, those employees will not receive a subsidy toward health care coverage.
Employees retiring before age 65 continue to have access to EWEB health care Insurance offered to the active employees; however, the retirees pay the insurance premiums In full. This access to coverage before age 65 is also requir~ 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.
The plan does not issue a stand-alone financial report.
Plan membership Enrolling in health care coverage is at the time of retirement. Therefore, there are no inactive plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits. Once a retiree opts out of coverage, there Is no reinstatement. The plan's latest actuarial valuation dated August 31, 2021, rolled forward to December 31, 2022, included 537 retirees or surviving spouses of retired employees, of which 136 opted out of or were Ineligible for health care coverage, and 495 active employees.
Investments The Trust has a third-party Investment manager who has discretionary Investment authority within the guidelines of the Trust's investment policy as approved by the board of trustees. The invesbnent policy has a long-term objective of full funding for the plan through capita I appreciation and reasonable consistency of earnings and growth. The policy acknowledges ongoing needs for llquldlty to pay benefits and diversification of investments to minimize capital erosion. The Trust's adopted asset allocation as of July 31, 2019, has targets of40% fixed income, 55% equities and 5% real estate. Investments In debt securities are to be single-A rated or better and diversified with respect to average maturity and duration.
The Trust did not hold any debt securities on December 31, 2022, or December 31, 2021.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the annual money-weighted rate of return on Investments, net of Investment expense, was -16.6% and 12.0%, respectively. The money-weighted rate of return expresses Investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for changing amounts actually Invested.

Custodia/ credit risk - Custodia I credit risk for Investments Is 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. Investments 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, custodlal 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 th,eir principal markel 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 Inputs Include valuatlon techniques which make use of unobservable inputs using the best Information avallable under the circumstances. All investments held by the Trust as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are Level 1.
Contributions Contributions toward health care premiums required from retirees are established In the plan and may be amended by the Board. Contributions from participating retirees are either a flat rate or a percentage of premium costs and vary by participant according to the benefits in place when the participant was hired and/or retired. The Board's subsidies toward premiums are capped for the more recent retirees. The cap is expressed as a percentage of the Board's share of premium increases each year compared to premiums beginning in a base year of 2003. The cap was 6% beginning In 2017 and Is to remain that amount each year thereafter.
During 2022, the plan recognized $568,000 in contributions from retirees who had insurance coverage under the Board's group plan for active employees ($684,000 during 2021 ). The contributions are applied to Insurance premiums. Retirees with Medicare 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 for 2022, which was updated after year's end, was approximately $348,000. The Board contributed $297,000 during 2022. The plan was considered fully funded as of December 31, 2021, based on cash flows expected to be paid from the Trust for explicit benefits. Accordlngly, the ADC was $0 for 2021. The Board contributed $176,000 in 2021. Contributions were recognized In administrative and general expenses: $225,720 for the Electric System and $71,280 for the Water System In 2022 ($133,380 for the Electric System and $42, 120 for the Water System in 2021 ). The expenses differ from the Board's OPEB expense determined on an actuarial basis, which was negative $325,000 for 2022, due to amortizations which reverse the direction of total OPEB expense ($2.7 million for 2021 ). The Board has elected to apply regulatory accounting to recognize OPEB expense based on the timing and amount of contributions included In the rate making process.

Actuarial assumptions The total OPEB liability as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, was determined using the following significant actuarial assumptions and inputs for both years:
Discount rate Inflation rate Salary Increases Health care cost trend rates Mortality Withdrawal Retirement 3.12%
2.5%
3.5%
3%-6%
Pub-2010 OPERS experience study Jul 2019 Experience study Nov 2020 Mortality rates are concurrent wlth those used for general service employees in the Oregon PERS Actuarial Valuations.
The discount rate of 3.12% as of December 31, 2021, and rolled forward to December 31, 2022, was based on an expected 6.53% long-term rate of return on plan assets. Employer contributions are not assumed to occur for years beyond the latest valuation year, 2021. At that time, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make projected OPEB payments for plan participants through 2037.
Therefore, the expected long-term rate of return was blended with the December 31, 2021 rate from the 20-year General Obligation Municipal Bond Index as published by the Bond Buyer. 2.06%.
The long-term expected rate of return on the Trust's investments was determined using a building-block method in which estimates of expected Mure real rates of return (expected returns, net of investment expense and Inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future 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 class for years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 are summarized below:

The Project ceased commercial operation in 1993 and is decommissioned. The Project is now classified as an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation. In accordance with GASB Statement 61, The Rnancial Reporting Entity, the Project is reported as a joint venture on the equity method of accounting.
In 1970, the Board assigned to BPA and other publlc agency participants Its 30% share of the output of Trojan. Under the terms of a Direct Pay Agreement, BPA is obligated to pay the Board amounts sufficient to cover all of the Board's costs related to the Project. BPA pays those costs In cash, but In some cases could make payments by Issuing credits against the Board's purchases of electr!clty from BPA. The Board Is required to transfer from Its Electric System Fund to the Trojan Project Fund an amount equal to all payments received from BPA for Project related costs. The Board Is then responsible for making payments from the Trojan Project Fund to the Trojan Project for the Board's share of costs.

Note 18 - Trojan Nuclear Plant (continued)
Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Flnanclal Statements Since BPA is obligated to pay the Board's share of all 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 Project to have any adverse effect on the Board's Electric or water Systems. As such, the equity Interest In the Project Is zero. However, if one of the tenants In common falls to perform their flnanclal obligation, the other tenants may be liable. This obligation may not be covered under the Direct Pay Agreement mentioned previously. However, the Board believes this risk Is minimal.
A summary of the balance sheets for EWEB's share of the Trojan Project as of September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, Is as follows.

Eugene Water & Electric Board Notes to Flnanclal Statements Note 19 - Commitments end Contingencies (conti~ued}
Distribution projects - Contractual commitments for a substation rebulld and seismic anchoring were $7.5 million as of December 31, 2022 ($602,000 as of December 31, 2021 ).
Generation projects - Commitments were $626,000 for replacement of swl~gear and relays as of December 31, 2022 ($671,000 at December 31, 2021, for Improvements to a dam hoist system, stormwater outlet and replacement of switchgear and relays).
Weter projects Construction contracts primarily for storage tanks, a pump station and main replacements were approximately $13.4 million at December 31, 2022 ($2.9 million as of December 31, 2021 for storage tanks and main replacements).
Other projects Contractual commitments for advanced metering were $1.4 million, and $263,000 for construction at Roosevelt Operations Center as of December 31, 2022 ($1.2 million for vehicles and $1.4 million for advanced metering as of December 31, 2021 ).
Self-Insurance The Board Is exposed to various risks of loss because of the Board's self-insurance retention, up to the first $2,000,000 of exposure, per occurrence. Excess liablllty 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 pub/le bodies, which reduce the liability for any single occurrence for property damage or personal injury. Limits are adjusted for the cost of living annually by the Oregon State Court Administrator. The most recent limits are $132,200 for a single claimant and $661,000 to all claimants for property damage. For Injury or death, the most recent limits are
$806,100 for a single claimant and $1,612,000 for multiple claimants. Consequently, except in extreme cases, the Board's exposure Is mitigated by law. The limit is subject to change by State of Oregon legislation.
Claims llabllltles 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 review 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, 2022, a total clalms liablllty of approximately
$62,000 Is reported in the financial statements. All prior and current-year claim liabilities were fully reserved and have not been discounted.

Eugene Water & Electrlc Board Notes to Financial Statements Note 19 - Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Clalms and other legal proceedings 13 lawsuits, representing approximately 750 plaintiffs, are pending against EWEB seeking damages related to the 2020 Hollday Farm Fire. These actions allege a variety of claims against EWEB and assert unproven damages. All plaintiffs were previously Informed that EWEB's electric lines were d~nergized at the time and location that the Holiday Farm Fire Is alleged to have started. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, no accrual has been made In the financial statements for the Hollday Farm Fire.
The Board Is involved in various other litigations. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these claims will not have a material effect on the Board's financial position beyond amounts already accrued as of December 31, 2022.
Note 20 - Asset Impairment The service utlllty of the Leaburg hydroelectric project has significantly declined. Following increased seepage along the canal, indicative of unstable soils, FERC deemed the canal a publlc safety risk and ordered the canal to be dewatered in 2018. Without water, the Leaburg generation plant ceased I
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 FERC, the nature of the impairment was judged to be temporary as of December 31, 2021. Carrying values for the project's assets were classified as property held for future use on the Statements of Net Position as of December 31, 2021.
In 2022 It was determined that the project was permanently impaired due to the low likelihood of any future generation. The remaining net book value of the assets related to the generation of electrlclty were written off resulting in a recognized loss of $19.9 million categorized as an extraordinary Item for the year ending December 31, 2022. Carrying values for the project's assets related to stormwater conveyance were classified as property held for future use on the Statements of Net Position as of December 31, 2022.
Note 21 - Subsequent Event On January 30, 2023 the Eugene City Council approved terms for the City of Eugene to purchase the Board's former headquarter location for use as a city hall and office space for the amount of $12 mlllion.
As part of the sale, the Board will maintain approximately 1,000 square feet of shared public facing space where customers can make appointments to conduct business with the Board. The sale is expected to close In the second quarter of 2023.
