486

exceeded costs and that rebates be applied to offset charges to

487

those customer entities that have subsidized the costs of other

488

customer entities.

489

6. Require that all service-level agreements have a

490

contract term of not more than 3 years and require at least a

491

180-day notice of termination.

492

7. Designate any nonstate data centers as primary data

493

centers if the center:

494

a. Has an established governance structure that represents

495

customer entities proportionally.

496

b. Maintains an appropriate cost-allocation methodology

497

that accurately bills a customer entity based on the actual

498

direct and indirect costs to the customer entity and prohibits

499

the subsidization of one customer entity's costs by another

500

entity.

501

c. Has sufficient raised floor space, cooling, redundant

502

power capacity, including uninterruptible power supply and backup

503

power generation, to accommodate the computer processing

742

service without an affirmative vote of approval by the customer

743

entity providing the subsidy.

744

4. Establishing special assessments to fund expansions

745

based on a methodology that apportions the assessment according

746

to the proportional benefit to each customer entity.

757

year, the board shall implement any combination of the following

758

remedies to cover the shortfall:

759

a. The board may direct the primary data center to adjust

760

current year chargeback rates through the end of the fiscal year

761

to cover the shortfall. The rate adjustments shall be implemented

762

using actual usage rate and billing data from the first three

763

quarters of the fiscal year and the same principles used to set

764

rates for the fiscal year.

765

766

one-time charges on all customers entities to cover the

767

shortfall. The one-time charges shall be implemented using actual

768

usage rate and billing data from the first three quarters of the

769

fiscal year and the same principles used to set rates for the

770

fiscal year.

771

c. The customer entities represented by each board member

772

may provide payments to cover the shortfall in proportion to the

773

amounts each entity paid in the prior fiscal year.

(f) Meet as often as necessary, but not less than once per

775

quarter, and hold the annual budget meeting between April 1 and

mechanisms and rate structures for all customer entities for the

782

fiscal year including the cost-allocation methodology for

783

administrative expenditures and the calculation of administrative

784

expenditures as a percent of total costs.

785

(i) Consider energy-efficient products and their total cost

786

of ownership when replacing, upgrading, or expanding:

787

1. Data center facilities, including, but not limited to,

788

environmental, power, and control systems; and

789

2. Data center network, storage, and computer equipment. If

790

the total cost of ownership, including initial acquisition cost,

791

is estimated to be equal to or lower than existing

792

infrastructure, technical specifications for energy-efficient

793

products should be incorporated into the replacement, upgrade, or

794

expansion planning and acquisition process.
