SOME SMALL ADDITIONAL "MODERNIZATION" UPDATES ALSO OCCURRED. REGARDING HB 3141, THE STATUTORY LANGUAGE REGARDING THE WORK FOR WHICH ENERGY TRUST IS FUNDED WAS EXPANDED. IN ADDITION TO COST EFFECTIVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND THE ABOVE MARKET COST OF RENEWABLE ENERGY, ENERGY TRUST'S FUNDING MAY ALSO NOW BE USED FOR "DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CONNECTED TECHNOLOGIES."

FINALLY, AND SINCE THE BYLAWS WERE BEING REVISED, THE BOARD OPTED TO UPDATE THE LANGUAGE REGARDING VIRTUAL MEETINGS, GIVEN THE WAY IN WHICH MANY MEETINGS ARE CONDUCTED NOW. |

ANY SUCH DISCLOSURE SHALL BE DULY RECORDED IN THE MINUTES. IF THE MEMBER MAKES FULL DISCLOSURE OF THE NATURE AND DETAILS OF THE CONFLICT, THE MEMBER MAY THEREAFTER ENGAGE IN ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MATTER AND MAY VOTE, UNLESS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST WARRANTS THE DIRECTOR'S EXCLUSION FROM EITHER OR BOTH THE DISCUSSION AND VOTE.

AN EMPLOYEE'S BASE COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY VARIOUS COMPONENTS: JOB SKILLS, EXPERIENCE, PERFORMANCE IN THE JOB, COMPARABLE WORTH OF THE POSITION WITHIN THE COMPANY, GENERAL MARKET AND GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION. ENERGY TRUST WILL CONTINUE TO EXERCISE CONSIDERABLE JUDGMENT AND INTERPRETATION IN OUR USE OF THIS DATA.
