Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors

DCP Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) issued a press release on December 30, 2008, announcing the resignation of Fred J. Fowler as a director of the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s ultimate general partner, DCP Midstream GP, LLC and the appointment of Alan N. Harris to the Board of Directors as a Spectra Energy representative, effective January 1, 2009.  Mr. Fowler announced his retirement from Spectra Energy last June with an effective date at the end of this year.  There were no disagreements between Mr. Fowler and the Partnership regarding any matter or relating to the Partnership’s operations, policies or practices.

Mr. Harris currently serves as chief development and operations officer of Spectra Energy, an affiliate of the General Partner.  There is no arrangement or understanding between either Mr. Harris and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director.  The Board of Directors of the General Partner did not name Mr. Harris to any committees of the Board of Directors at this time.

The General Partner serves as the ultimate general partner of the Partnership, holding a general partner interest in the Partnership.  DCP Midstream, LLC currently owns 100% of the General Partner, which allows it to control the Partnership, and owns a 28.8% limited partner interest in the Partnership.  DCP Midstream, LLC is a joint venture equally owned by Spectra Energy and ConocoPhillips.  For relationships between the Partnership, the General Partner, DCP Midstream, LLC and its affiliates, please read Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”, which is incorporated herein by reference from the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2008.
