This was a meeting of the Reading Municipal Light Department (RMLD) Board of Commissioners held on September 15, 2026. The meeting included updates on various capital improvement projects such as the Killam School site preparation, Station 6 substation construction, and multiple apartment and infrastructure projects. Procurement actions were a key focus, with the board awarding two contracts: one for hourly rates for distribution line work to PowerLine Contractors Inc., and another for two material handler trucks to James A. Coyley Company for $960,751, opting to sell trade-in vehicles at auction rather than through trade-in. The board also approved a new policy on artificial intelligence use, restricting staff to approved AI tools and safeguarding sensitive information. Additionally, the meeting featured an extensive open meeting law training to ensure compliance with transparency and communication rules. Updates on the AMI meter replacement project, fleet vehicle orders, and a pilot program adjusting customer service hours were also discussed. The board received reports from members who attended the NEPA conference, highlighting regional power supply challenges, renewable energy costs, and grid reliability concerns. The meeting concluded with scheduling future meetings and community event reminders.
