WHEREAS, pursuant to Order No. 719, 18 C.F.R. § 35.28(g)(1)(iii) provides:
"Each Commission-approved independent system operator and regional transmission
organization must permit a qualified aggregator of retail customers to bid demand response on
behalf of retail customers directly into the Commission-approved independent system operator's
or regional transmission organization's organized markets, unless the laws and regulations of the
relevant electric retail regulatory authority expressly do not permit a retail customer to
participate" and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Order No. 719, 18 C.F.R. § 35.28(g)(1)(i)(A) provides:

authority" and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Home Rule Charter of the City of Brookings, the

retail customers to permit any entity other than the Brookings Municipal Utilities itself or its
authorized designee to aggregate demand response on behalf of its retail customers and

demand response program of any other entity without the express
prior authorization of Brookings Municipal Utilities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a new Section 7 is hereby created to add

Demand Response Resources" to provide as follows:
Section 7-1
. Brookings Municipal Utilities or its authorized designee is the sole
entity permitted to bid demand response on behalf of retail
customers served by Brookings Municipal Utilities directly into
any Commission-approved independent system operator's or
regional transmission organization's organized markets for energy

approved independent system operator's or regional transmission
organization's tariff).
Section 7-2
. Retail customers served by Brookings Municipal Utilities wishing
to bid their demand response into a Commission-approved
independent system operator's or regional transmission
organization's organized markets for energy imbalance, spinning
