This Kit Carson exit information and Tri-State 's previous dete1mination of "equitable " exit tenns for Kit Carson under Section 3(a) of the Tri-State Bylaws are an impmiant and relevant reference ·as DMEA moves toward its own equitabl e withdrawal from Tri-State. As you also know, DMEA has previously requested this information orally and in writing, most recently in a March 30, 2018 written request to Tri-State ' s Senior Vice President, Brad Nebergall. TriState senior staff have discussed the request internally but have not produced the materials. DMEA hopes that by formalizing its request through this Policy 406 submission, it can obtain and evaluate the Kit Carson information and thereby facilitate and accelerate the parties' negotiations concerning DMEA's goal of equitably withdrawing from Tri-State. In an April 13, 2018 letter, Kit Carson authorized Tri-State to share all Kit Carson withdrawalrelated information with DMEA provided such infonnation remains confidential. With regard to Kit Carson's request to maintain its withdrawal-re lated infmmation in confidence , DMEA agrees to keep the requested inf01mation confidential pursuant to DMEA and Tri-State 's January 11, 2017 confidentiality agreement. Thank you in advance for your attention to this request. To the extent Tri-State decline s to disclose Kit Carson-related exit info1mation, DMEA respectfully requests that Tri-State inf01m DMEA under what circumstances it would be willing to produce such inf01mation. Sincerely, 0-::-d/O~ Jasen Bronec, CEO Delta-Montrose Electric Assoc iation I Enclosure Please note that DMEA Board member Kyle Martinez, who also serves on Tri-State 's Board of Directors, did not participate in any deliberation s or decisions relating to this information request.
