Elk River
Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING
TO: FROM:
Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Troy Adams, P.E. —General Manager
John Dietz—Chair
Daryl Thompson—Vice Chair
Al Nadeau—Trustee
MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
October 9, 2012 5.2
SUBJECT:
2013 Fee Schedule
DISCUSSION:
Typically, the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission approves the budget in December.
Then in January, the rates and fees are published. Per legal counsel, the Utilities' ability to
collect on fees would be strengthened by having them adopted into City ordinance after being
approved by the Commission. Although ERMU has not yet been notified of the 2013 wholesale
power costs increase, fees are less impacted by the wholesale power costs and in many cases can
be determined earlier in the budget process.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends approving the 2013 Utilities' Fee Schedule for adoption into ordinance by the
City Council.
