ISubject: Year 2006 Budget
I Staff has started the process of assembling the year 2006 budget. As in the past, we
desire to keep this Commission a part of the budgeting process. The proposed schedule
for the budgeting process is as follows:
Pi August meeting: Travel & Training
g
10 Year Personnel Projections
I September meeting: 10 Year Capital Projections
p J
Year 2006 Capital Projections
I
October meeting: Projected Purchased Power Costs
Projected Sales Revenues
IProjected Expenses
I
November meeting: Completed Budget with Rate Analysis
December meeting: Adopt Budget with Rate Changes, if any
IEnclosed is the proposed Travel & Training and 10 Year Personnel Projections for your
review and consideration.
IThe travel and training budget is updated from 2005 with minor changes.
The personnel projections reflect the addition of two people. The first person is a
supervisor for metering, generation, locating, and CAD operator. Dave Berg, supervisor
of water distribution and electronic technologies retain the water distribution
I responsibilities. This additional person will take Dave's security and meter shop
supervisory duties plus the locating and CAD operator supervisor duties from Glenn.
I
Staff is proposing this person have an engineering background. This will be a good
01
opportunity to train another person to ease the transition for Glenn, Dave, or my
retirement. This will also help the work flow if one of the three of us experience long
I
term illness.
The second person is a locator/CAD operator. This is necessitated due to rule making,
I
requiring water and waste water utilities to locate their facilities in public right of way.
There may be an opportunity to cooperate with the City of Elk River in satisfying this
new locating requirement, for the City must now start locating their waste water and
storm water facilities.
Next year we are also expecting a possible retirement along with a maternity leave.
