b. Report of the Chief Operating Officer<br />
Mr. Gil Quiniones provided highlights of the report to the Trustees. In response to a question from<br />
Chairman Townsend, Mr. Quiniones said that water levels are lower than the projected long-term average, which<br />
results in lower net generation. In response to a question from Trustee Nicandri, Mr. Quiniones said that the<br />
forced outage at Niagara was not caused by <strong>Authority</strong>-owned transmission. It was caused by an issue with the<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> grid’s system and this limited the <strong>Authority</strong>’s ability to generate power. Mr. Quiniones also said that<br />
staff is monitoring the situation in Japan as the <strong>Authority</strong> has contracts with Japanese companies. He said that<br />
if there are any impacts with regard to supplies for the <strong>Authority</strong>’s Life Extension and Modernization projects, he<br />
will report it to the Board at the next meeting.<br />
Chairman Townsend said that the <strong>Authority</strong> won a safety award from the American Public <strong>Power</strong><br />
Association and congratulated Mr. Quiniones and his staff for the work they do.<br />
