Ms. Canterbury noted an error to be corrected in the December 8, 2020 meeting minutes. On
page 3 of the meeting minutes, the motion for agenda item 5.1 should read“…to receive the
October 2020 Financial Report.” The meeting minutes presented for approval say, “November

3.0 OPEN FORUM
There were no public comments submitted for open forum.
4.0 POLICY & COMPLIANCE
4.1 Annual Review of Committee Charters
Ms. Slominski reminded the Commission that the annual review of the committee
charters is an opportunity for them to make changes to the committees and determine
whether they are still needed. It is also an opportunity for the commission to give
direction to the committees. There were no recommended changes from the Commission.
In addition to the current commission-created committees: the Wage & Benefits
Committee, Financial Reserves & Investment Committee, and the Information Security
Committee, a Dispute Resolution Committee Charter Policy was presented for adoption.
Commissioner Stewart asked whether there was an event that inspired the creation of the
new committee. Ms. Slominski responded that there had not been an event, and that this
was the last of the charters to be created from the commission governance policy manual
initiative.
Chair Dietz asked for background on how disputes have been addressed to this point. Ms.
Slominski explained that previously ERMU has asked customers to appear at the
commission meeting to address issues, or staff has been able to work with customers
directly.
29
Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes
January 12, 2021
Page 3
Chair Dietz had a question about the appeals process for the committee’s decisions. Ms.
Slominski responded that the goal of the committee is to give customers the chance to
address the appointed commission member along with staff. Ms. Slominski explained that
each gathering of the committee will generate a report to be brought back to the
Commission for further action or to report a resolution.
It was confirmed by Ms. Slominski that this committee would only meet as needed.
Attorney Beck shared that this is parallel to City Council’s administrative hearing process,
adding that formation of such a committee is best practice.
Moved by Commissioner Stewart and seconded by Commissioner Westgaard to adopt
the proposed Dispute Resolution Committee Charter. Motion carried 5-0.
4.2 Electronic Funds Transfer Policy
Ms. Slominski shared that direction from the auditors was that best practice would be to
establish an Electronic Funds Transfer Policy. The management policy was presented for
the Commission to review with an action item to annually authorize the finance manager
to make electronic funds transfers on the utilities’ behalf.
Moved by Commissioner Nadeau and seconded by Commissioner Stewart to delegate
and authorize the Finance Manager to make electronic funds transfers of Elk River
Municipal Utilities. Motion carried 5-0.
5.0 BUSINESS ACTION
5.1 Financial Report – November 2020
Ms. Karpinski presented the November 2020 financial report as outlined in her memo.
Chair Dietz noted the higher sales for the water department. Mr. Ninow speculated that
with people spending more time at home and a dryer year there has been higher water
usage.
Moved by Commissioner Westgaard and seconded by Commissioner Bell to receive the
November 2020 Financial Report. Motion carried 5-0.
5.2 COVID-19 Emergency Leaves
Ms. Slominski presented her memo on the Families First Coronavirus Response Act which
recommended the extension of emergency leave policy through March 2021. This
30
Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes

Page 4
extension allows employees to access any unused emergency leave from 2020. Chair Dietz
had questions about the timeline for the program. Staff responded.
Commissioner Westgaard expressed his opinion it would be good to extend the policy.
Commissioner Stewart added it was a good show of support for employees.
Chair Dietz asked if municipal employees were in an early priority group to receive the
COVID-19 vaccine. Ms. Slominski responded that there have been some changes to the
order of groups getting the vaccine, but the hope is that staff will have the option to
receive it sooner versus later.
Moved by Commissioner Bell and seconded by Commissioner Stewart to approve the
extension of emergency leaves of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act through
March 31, 2021. Motion carried 5-0.
6.0 BUSINESS DISCUSSION
6.1 Staff Updates
Commissioner Stewart congratulated Ms. Nelson on her completion of the customer
information system task outlined in her memo. Ms. Nelson commended the finance and
customer service departments on their efforts.
Commissioner Stewart also had a suggestion for the check endorsement machine item from
Ms. Nelson’s memo, recommending working with the bank on a solution. Ms. Nelson
responded that the bank did have an option that was viable but that she will need to look at all
pros and cons.
Ms. Canterbury highlighted the American Public Power Association and Minnesota Municipal
Utilities Association virtual conferences from her update, encouraging commissioners to take
advantage of these events as they are occurring remotely and have had their fees waived.
Mr. Geiser notified the Commission, having recently learned the timeline for the Highway 169
Redefine project, that he is planning to purchase the wire for that project immediately to
ensure the timely delivery of the appropriate type and quantity. Mr. Geiser added that ERMU
would purchase the remainder of its wire for the year in around six months’ time. Attorney
Beck commented that ideally the utilities would purchase all its wire for the year at once but
the short notice for the Highway 169 project created extenuating circumstances, requiring a
separate purchase which falls under the threshold for public bidding.
Mr. Sumstad shared that staff would be conducting interviews this week for the open
lineworker position.

Mr. Tietz noted that the mapping department item from his staff update had been delayed
one week, from January 18 to January 25. He also noted that the new substation apparatus
technician position had been posted, with interviews planned for February.
Chair Dietz had a question about the progress on the field services facility expansion project.
Mr. Kerzman responded that he was expecting the updated budgetary numbers from the
architectural and construction agencies the following day, which he will then present to the
workgroup.
Chair Dietz asked staff if they were able to address concerns from a community member on
the project. Mr. Kerzman responded that he believed they had addressed the issues.
6.2 Future Planning
Chair Dietz announced the following:
a. Regular Commission Meeting – February 9, 2021
b. 2021 Governance Agenda
Chair Dietz confirmed with staff that they were still planning to hold the February
commission meeting in person in the Elk River Fire Station EOC Conference Room.
Commissioner Stewart asked if the construction occurring at the fire station would create
a conflict. Ms. Canterbury said she would confirm whether it would or not.
6.3 Other Business
There was no other business.

BACKGROUND:
Minnesota Rules Chapter 7826 Public Utilities Commission Electric Utility Standards cover

annual safety performance report with its local governing body. The report will include
summaries of all reports filed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
and the Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Minnesota Department of Labor and
Industry during the calendar year.” Elk River Municipal Utilities only files the OSHA Form 300A.
DISCUSSION:
In 2020, there was 0 recordable cases which resulted in 0 days away from work. Attached is the
OSHA Form 300A that has been filed. It is a summary of work-related first report of injuries and
illnesses. Also attached is the OSHA Form 300A from 2019 for reference.
ATTACHMENTS:
• 2020 OSAH Form 300A – 1/21/2021

UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING
TO:
ERMU Commission
FROM:
Melissa Karpinski – Finance Manager
MEETING DATE:
February 9, 2021
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
5.2
SUBJECT:
2020 Fourth Quarter Delinquent Items
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the 2020 fourth quarter delinquent items submitted.
BACKGROUND:
Fourth quarter delinquent items are presented for your review. We have previously reported
on four different categories of delinquents as follows:
• Assessments are delays in collecting the money owed and are assessed to the
property taxes in the fall. Please note this number will only be presented in the 4th
quarter.
• Collections amounts are those we send to the collection agency to try and collect
after we have exhausted all our internal collection efforts. We recei ve 70% of
amounts collected after the agency receives their split.
• Revenue Recapture (RR) is the program through the state where funds are collected
from individuals’ tax refunds and remitted to us, with the balance (if any) remitted
to the individual. It presents an opportunity to collect funds rather than splitting
with a collection agency or having to write them off completely. There is a six-year
limit for keeping items on RR and if uncollected at this time, amounts are removed
and written off.
• Write Offs are amounts removed from the books with no further collection efforts
being extended.
DISCUSSION:
Presented for review are comparisons with previous years, identifying the categories and
amounts for each quarter and the running totals. Regarding the year-end totals:
• The amounts listed for assessments culminate in the fourth quarter and include items
previously submitted to other collection services, and if not collected, are removed and
assessed. The assessment amount for 2020 is $11,324.36. This increased compared to
2019 but seems more in line with amounts assessed in other years.
• The amounts submitted only to Collection Agencies for 2020 is $0. (Please note that
amounts submitted to Revenue Recapture were also submitted to Collection Agencies.)
• The amounts submitted to Revenue Recapture were less than the prior year. The 2020
RR amount is $16,840.36. We have collected a total of $16,965.56 from RR in 2020.
56
______________________________________________________________________________
Page 2 of 2
• Write Offs for 2020 of $20,886.05 which is more than the prior year. The biggest impact
to the Write-Offs is the removal of items from the RR program due to a six-year limit
mandated by the state. We have had to remove, and write-off, a total of $20,717.05
from RR in 2020.
The attached report listing shows those dollars submitted to both the Collection Agency and RR.
The fourth quarter totals are $5,668.90. To break these totals down by provider, it is $4,919.95
for Electric, $493.32 for Franchise Fees, $153.67 for Sewer, $59.29 for Water, $25.00 for Storm
Water and $17.67 for Trash.
The amount for fourth quarter Write-Offs is $5,464.99 which includes: small balances of $33.75,
amounts removed from RR meeting the six-year limit with the state program of $5,431.24.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts (a reserve for bad debt/write-offs) is $25,605 or .06%
uncollectible accounts per revenue dollar. According to the American Public Power
Association’s most recent published standard ratios (2017), the industry standard is between
.17% and .40%. Interestingly, the Northern/Central Plains average is .18%. Our totals for the
year are below the national average, at .05%.

UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING
TO:
ERMU Commission
FROM:
Theresa Slominski – General Manager
MEETING DATE:
February 9, 2021
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
5.3
SUBJECT:
Strategic Plan and 2020 Annual Business Plan Results
ACTION REQUESTED:
Discussion on effectiveness of the Strategic Plan and the Annual Business Plan as organizational
health assessment and planning tools; discussion on ongoing improvement and progress
toward organizational mission and goals.
BACKGROUND:
In August 2017, the commission adopted a comprehensive manual of governance policies
based on the Carver Model of governance. Included in those governance policies is Governance
Policy G.2c Agenda Planning. This policy notes that in the first quarter “The Commission and
Management will review ERMU’s current Strategic Plan along with the results of the Annual
Business Plan for the preceding fiscal year.” This annual review was confirmed and scheduled
through the Commission’s adoption of the 2021 Governance Agenda, which is included in the
monthly commission meeting materials, and which is available to the public.
DISCUSSION:
The Strategic Plan consists of Governance Policies G.1c-g. These policies are summarized on the
attached mission, vision, fundamentals, values, and planning themes handout. Additionally, the
Strategic Plan includes a dashboard of initiatives, a management tool used to: track project
preparation for consideration in the budget, oversee the status of currently implemented
projects, track future priorities currently on hold, and track overall productivity and
organizational resources. The Annual Business Plan consists of the budget and the schedule of
rates.
The purpose for the Strategic Plan is to establish the long-term direction and goals for an
organization and develop the plan to get there. The Strategic Plan is a long-term forward-
looking tool. The purpose of the Annual Business Plan is that of a tool used to measure
organizational performance and provide usable information to take corrective actions to move
the organization toward the long-term direction and goals established by the Strategic Plan.
The Annual Business Plan is a short-term forward-looking tool dependent upon backwards
looking data analysis.

Review of the Strategic Plan
All policies, decisions, initiatives, and tasks by ERMU on behalf of our consumer owners should
be in direct line with ERMU’s Mission. All planning is conducted through a process which
categorizes initiatives under commission-adopted planning themes aligned with our mission,
vision, fundamentals, and values. This framework clearly defines how ERMU is expected to
operate. This process is intentionally transparent to our consumer owners.
The following include highlights, challenges, and results from the 2020 initiatives as well as
forward-looking initiatives and goals:
Theme 1: Communication – Improve the effectiveness of our communications inside the
organization, with our customers, and with the community.
• Website – A request for proposal was developed and a vendor selection process was
completed in 2019. The website update initiative was budgeted as a 2020 project and
was completed when we went live November 4, 2020.
• Customer Satisfaction Feedback Tools – In the past, we have utilized an in-house
developed customer survey to evaluate our customers’ satisfaction with our service.
There was very low participation in these surveys and data was usually skewed by
recent complaints rather than a true representation of our total customer base. This
initiative was developed to research, evaluate and revise customer satisfaction feedback
processes and tools for better utilization and data.
• Disaster Recovery Plan – Staff established a 2019 initiative to develop a utility specific
Disaster Recovery (DR) plan that would complement the existing City of Elk River
Emergency Operations Plan. While the existing city plan is focused more on emergency
restoration efforts following a disaster, the utilities DR plan will be comprehensive,
identifying all-hazards facing the utilities, utilizing best practices found within the
National Incident Management System (NIMS), and following Incident Command System
(ICS) structures. Included as part of this plan will be a component addressing Business
Continuity throughout the recovery effort. This work is being coordinated with the Fire
Chief’s efforts to update the City of Elk River Emergency Operations Plan. The ERMU DR
plan development continued into 2020 and will be a continuously evolving document as
it is tested during annual exercises and real incidents.
• Jackson Street Water Tower – This initiative was created to complete the water tower
asset transfer to the City, along with funds for the painting and restoration of the water
tower. A grant has been approved for the rehabilitation in 2021. We will also need to
create an MOU for future tower inspections, and plan to partner with the city/ERFD for
a kiosk at the tower also.
Theme 2: Personnel and Governance – Develop our most valuable and vulnerable assets, our
commissioners, employees, leaders, and future leaders.

• Human Resources – This initiative was created to evaluate and retain dedicated human
resources either through hire or contract services. With the delay in filling the
Administrative Director position, this was identified as being an immediate need and we
hired an HR Generalist in November of 2020.
• Develop Succession Plan for Operations Director Retirement – This initiative was created
to be proactive with the replacement of the Operations Director for either an internal or
external transition. As an internal candidate emerged, we were able to allow for the
transfer of knowledge and ensure a smooth transition in filling this position and the
resulting positions that became available with internal promotions.
• Governance Policy Manual – There was significant progress completed during 2020 in
the continuation of this multiyear initiative. The three remaining polices completed
were: A.1 Service Policies, E.1 Electric Department Rules, and W.1 Water Department
Rules. Additionally, the Dispute Resolution Committee was created and adopted in
January 2021. There are now two smaller policies to be created relating to evaluation of
the mission and values of the organization with competitive rates and margins. These
policies will likely be presented in Q2 of 2021.
• Management Policy Manual- This is a multiyear initiative that follows the Governance
Policy initiative. All Management Policies need to be reviewed and revised as necessary
and this will be worked on throughout the next two years.
• Future Leader Training – As a result of the organizational effectiveness survey action
item, this initiative was created to provide training to employees to prepare and
develop them as future leaders. An organization-wide training was started in 2020 and
will continue through 2021 called Everyday Leadership. Additionally, we are working
with a consultant to provide training specific to those positions that are non-
management yet provide some employee direction (such as leads, forepersons and
specialists) so they are better prepared to be successful in these roles and ready for the
next steps in leadership. This is slated to be implemented in 2021.
• Succession Planning Procedure – The initiative to develop a succession planning and
staff addition procedure for use by the Wage & Benefits Committee (W&BC) was not
started in 2019, was tabled for 2020 due to leadership bandwidth, and is now on the list
for completion in 2021.
• Safety Manual and Training – This initiative calls for the review and revision of safety
procedures and practices with our Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association (MMUA)
safety coordinator, as well as align the American Public Power Association, MMUA, and
ERMU Safety Manuals together. This was started in 2020 and will continue through
2021.

Theme 3: Strategic Thinking – Create a culture of strategic thinking and ensure line of sight from
mission to vision.
• Landfill Gas Plant – As the current Landfill Gas Plant contracts expire in 2022, the future
of this project is being evaluated with this initiative. Staff has worked with Waste
Management and other stakeholders to determine the possibilities of future operations
of the facility past 2022 and has had positive feedback. Staff is currently working with
legal counsel on new contracts and the transition process.
• Volt/VAR Control – This initiative was created to investigate methods to identify and
predict peak usage times and implement Volt/Volt-Amps Reactive (VAR) control
strategies to reduce peak usage. Information gathering started in 2020 and will continue
into 2021.
• Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) Redevelopment – This was an initiative
started in 2019 with the legislative efforts to modernize CIP and stalled due to
misalignment of goals between the Senate, House, and the Executive branch. For 2020,
the focus shifted to the Governor’s Clean Energy First and then the Energy Conservation
and Optimization Act which also stalled and has now been reintroduced in 2021. We will
continue to work with MMUA and other organizations to advocate for effective
conservation efforts and energy policy.
Theme 4: Technology – Implement the prudent use of technology to improve efficiency and
increase customer choice, communication, and value.
• ESRI GIS Mapping – Work continued on the transition from paper maps to electronic
mapping for all ERMU field staff. The original thought was to utilize ESRI’s Portal platform
to accomplish this, however the decision to add on mPower Innovations Integrator
software was made in an effort to streamline and simplify the user interface with
training and implementation to follow early in 2021. This project will integrate the GIS
models with NISC software databases to provide additional map functionality and
efficiencies as well as make GIS data available to all ERMU employees. The future
roadmap will include transitioning from a geometric network to ArcGIS Utility Network
which is the next evolution of GIS.
• Cyber & Physical Security – With the hiring of our IT/OT Technician, this initiative is back
on track, after stalling last year due to lack of IT resources. The goal of this initiative is to
evaluate all cyber and physical security and then develop comprehensive policy as
needed, working with a joint committee. ERMU IT and the City of Elk River IT have
reviewed the individual policies that came out of the analysis from a third-party
consultant and will be meeting with the full committee in June 2021 to review.
• ERMU Fiber Backbone Buildout Plan – This initiative seeks to plan for having a fiber
network to all our facilities. In 2021 we have budgeted for extensions to the North and
Waco substations.
64

• Commission Meeting Room Upgrade – This has been an initiative for a number of years
and was finally completed in 2020 with the hire of our IT/OT Technician. The wallpaper
was removed, and the walls were painted; the white board was removed, and large TV
screens were installed in their place. There was also a camera and microphones installed
for phone calls, remote meetings, and teleconferencing capabilities. There are some
minor additional changes still coming with a cabinet and refrigeration unit along the
east wall.
• Mosaic Utilization – This initiative was created to take advantage of an NISC tool for
interactive displays and graphs to help present financial and other detailed information.
We have not been successful in carving out time for the training and implementation of
this module but hope to in 2021.
• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Smart Grid Analysis – Staff continues to
move forward with analysis on this multi-year initiative. The actual metering equipment
upgrade will not occur until after the construction of the new field services building. The
plan that staff developed includes a list of three potential equipment vendors, identified
the need for an outside consultant to develop the request for proposal for the project,
estimated a project budget of $2 to $3 million, and developed an implementation
timeframe of late 2022 to early 2023.
• iVUE Connect – This is a new initiative to determine how the NISC customer service
platform, iVUE Connect, will work for us. It is likely NISC will discontinue supporting the
current platform at some point and we will be forced to utilize iVUE Connect. This
platform was not designed well for multi-service accounts in the beginning so we
haven’t been training with it as we normally would. As we train this year, we should be
able to identify the shortcomings we will need to work through with NISC.
• NISC Module Integration – There are many modules in NISC that staff is exploring
including: Meter Data Management System (MDMS) which is required to implement
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Outage Management Systems (OMS), Mobile
Workforce and AppSuite, etc. Analysis for these modules for potential future
implementation is based on need, return on investment, and other delivered value. NISC
conducted a technology roadmap analysis for ERMU in 2018. The result of that analysis
showed that Mobile Workforce and AppSuite was the foundation and needed to be first.
The initiative to implement Mobile Workforce and AppSuite went live February 3, 2020.
Staff and NISC have been working on improving the process and other items relating to
the implementation. The module at full implementation allows for employees to work
paperlessly and share and access data from the field improving workflow and efficiency.
Theme 5: Growth – Assess the growth curve to make decisions regarding organizational change.
65

• Backflow Prevention Program – With the delegation of authority to ERMU for testing
backflow prevention devices on the system, this initiative was created to develop the
policy and implementation plan to track and test the backflow prevention devices
including Reduced Pressure Zones and Pressure Vacuum Breakers. We have partnered
with HydroCorp to track and report testing and have hired a Water Utility Worker to
help perform residential irrigation device testing. The certifications necessary for this
testing will be completed once the state resumes the classes, post-COVID.
• Highway 10 Rebuild – This initiative was created to plan for the work of coordinating
water and electric utility infrastructure changes to accommodate this project. Work is
expected to begin in April 2021.
• Highway 169 Redefine – This initiative was created to plan for the work of coordinating
water and electric utility infrastructure changes to accommodate the Highway 169
project. It is expected the road project will begin in 2022 but there is much preparation
to do in 2021.
• Evaluate Water Model – Our current water model has been maintained by a consultant
and it is on outdated software. The water model needs to be updated and converted to
modern software and this initiative was created to research and evaluate this option.
• Field Services Facility Expansion Plan & Site Preparation – Staff continued to plan for the
future field services expansion that is now budgeted for completion in 2021. Site
preparation work including the relocation of the power plant substation, electrical
feeders, and other underground facilities has been started, and the rental properties
will be removed early 2021. Staff is working with the architectural firm and a
construction manager on final drawings and bid documents.
• New Substation – This initiative was created to help identify land and construction
options for a future substation to serve growth in the southeastern part of Elk River
along Highway 10, and to help facilitate the Highway 169 Redefine project.
• Gary Street Water Tower Rehabilitation – This initiative was completed in 2020 with the
reconditioning of the Gary Street Water Tower. Inspections of the Gary Street Water
Tower indicated that the paint coating was failing in the interior immersion (wet area) of
the tank. Elevation Coating was awarded the bid to perform a complete rehabilitation of
the tank’s interior. The water tower was drained, and the project began on June 1. The
rehabilitation went very well with few complications. The tower was put back in service
August 21, 2020.
Theme 6: Process, Measurement, and Financial Health – Improve processes and measurement
to better determine and report efficiency and effectiveness of organization and to ensure
financial and organizational health.
66
______________________________________________________________________________
Page 7 of 8
• Paperless Initiative Evaluation – This initiative was created to research options to move
to a paperless business environment. There are multiple areas to review for this and
some things have already been put into place without any research done because they
were efficiencies already built into our software that we just needed to incorporate into
our work processes. Payroll Timecards became paperless when we moved to NISC five
years ago. Purchase Order approvals and Accounts Payable processing became
paperless in 2020, with no cash outlay costs involved, only time for implementation
analysis and training.
• Organizational Effectiveness Survey – This will be an ongoing initiative over multiple
years. The first survey was done in 2018 and produced eight initiatives. Several
initiatives were started in 2019, some were completed in 2020 and some additional
ones were started in 2020. We have Employee Training that will continue through 2021,
and Leadership Development will start in 2021 and continue through the next two
years. The standard work will continue in 2021 as well. Many of these initiatives are
going to integrated into ERMU processes and budgets indefinitely. We will conduct
additional surveys to gauge our effectiveness in years to come and evaluate the changes
that we are making along the way.
Review of the 2020 Annual Business Plan
The purpose of reviewing the 2020 Annual Business Plan is to evaluate the budget as a tool in
addition to performance. By evaluating the usefulness of the tool, staff will be better able to
provide monthly information and reports to help the commission evaluate the organization
health and direction. Understanding and exploring the areas of risk and sensitivity factors
improves the governing body’s ability to set policy redirecting an organization toward the short
term and long-term goals. The Annual Business Plan review should help the commission identify
areas of higher risk, evaluate options to mitigate risk, establish their comfort level with risk, and
help the commission clearly communicate expectation in handling the risk.
Overall Electric Utility performance for 2020 was positive on a year where sales were down
compared to our projections due to COVID. Expenses were also down due to COVID, and some
capital projects were not completed, thus resulted in favorable performance. Unaudited
financials indicate that electric margins significantly outperformed budget ($1,134,325 budget,
$2,870,130 actual). Revenue performance was 1% lower than budgeted due to COVID, the
annual expenses were 6% lower than budget. And net to reserve was higher than budgeted (-
$689,453 budget, $2,546,230 actual).
Overall Water Utility performance for 2020 was positive as well. Unaudited financials indicate
that water margins outperformed budget (-$261,954 budget, $833,996 actual). Revenue was up
26% ($2,838,582 budget, $3,568,276 actual) while annual water expenses were down by 12%
($3,100,536 budget, $2,734,280 actual). And net to reserves was higher than budgeted
($386,385 budget, $1,037,770 actual).

Summary
The Strategic Plan and the Annual Business Plan are long-term and short-term tools for the
commission to use in governing the organization, establishing policy to clearly communicate
goals, and helping the commission lead ERMU toward the organizational vision. These tools
should evolve with the commission’s needs to effectively evaluate and govern. It is important to
annually discuss these tools for their function; separate from the review of the data they
contain.
The results and progress from the organization’s 2020 initiatives were positive, and it is good to
recognize our successes.
An important component to organizational health is communication. Communication is critical
in all areas of an organization, both external and internal. This includes communication
between the commission and management, communication between management and staff,
and communication between departments. Specific to communication between the
commission and management, does the commission have what they need to govern ERMU to
sustainable success? Are these tools providing the information the commission needs to
effectively evaluate the organization? Are these tools clearly identifying the areas of highest
risk, enabling the commission to effectively monitor, evaluate, and take corrective action when
needed? Are these tools providing the information needed for the commission to effectively
lead the organization toward our mission and vision? Staff looks for commission discussion
regarding the 2020 results and for discussion regarding the effectiveness of the tools used to
provide the commission with meaningful and timely information.

UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING
TO:
ERMU Commission
FROM:
Chris Kerzman – Engineering Manager
MEETING DATE:
February 9, 2021
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
5.4
SUBJECT:
Field Services Facility Expansion Project – Plans, Project Estimate, and Construction
Management Contract
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize staff to solicit for public bids on the Field Services Expansion Project contingent upon
staff review and approval of bid documents. Approve the A133 contract with RJM for
construction management services
BACKGROUND:
Staff is continuing to work with Kodet Architectural Group, Ltd. and RJM Construction on plans
for the Field Services Facility. The design is currently in the construction documents (CD) phase,
with staff receiving 50% CD drawings and specifications during the week of February 1 for
review.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has been negotiating a contract with RJM. Due to updated versions of the American
Institute of Architects documents since the last project RJM has completed in Elk River,
Kennedy & Graven, Chartered and RJM needed to review the bidding process and the A133
contract. The proposed A133 contract for construction management services is attached for
commission approval.
Kodet and RJM have put together a project estimate based on previous projects, contractor
walkthroughs, and input from subcontractors in the area. Current drawings and the project
estimate are attached, staff will receive an updated estimate based off construction documents
near the end of February.
The current bond market and construction bids are favorable but costs of both are expected to
increase as we move forward. We are currently targeting the end of February to solicit for
public bids, with a bid opening near the end of March, and award of bids at the April
commission meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Staff had been planning for a project budget of $12.5 million during budget preparation at the
end of last year. Current estimates that include RJM input have the project at approximately
$13.5 million. Staff has worked with bond council to review options and the plan is to issue
72
______________________________________________________________________________
Page 2 of 2
bonds for the project costs, using construction bids received at the end of March to finalize the
bond amount. As these costs are a significant portion of our upcoming capital budgets, staff
also reached out to Dave Berg Consulting, LLC. They did not note any concern with the
increased bonding and projections of long-term financial outlook.

DISCUSSION:
• The Board of Directors of the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (MMPA) met virtually
on January 19, 2021. Both Commissioner Mary Stewart and I were in attendance. As
presented in the mid-month memo, the Board reviewed 2020 performance and shared
a management presentation. Also of note, MMPA approved a program to install one
electric vehicle charger in each member community.
• Tom Geiser, Mike Tietz, and I attended the Virtual Minnesota Municipal Utilities
Association Technical and Operations Conference, January 26-28, 2021. There was a
great safety presentation, and two presentations related to COVID: one on maintaining
a positive mindset, and the second on lessons learned.
• I met with Greg Ridderbusch, CEO of Connexus Energy, for our quarterly visit. We
discussed our COVID challenges of 2020, upcoming projects in 2021, and the legislative
committee hearing he was testifying at with other utilities in the state regarding the
Energy Conservation Optimization (ECO) Act. The meeting was productive and provides
great value in establishing a positive working relationship with Connexus Energy.
• We had our third session on Everyday Leadership with Kent Meyers, February 3 and 4,
2021. Wednesday, February 3 was two staff sessions and a manager session in person,
and one virtual staff session was held on Thursday, February 4. This session’s topic was

Staff Update
ACTION REQUESTED:
None.
DISCUSSION:
• The construction industry has certainly not taken a winter break! New service
applications and account setups continue to keep our department busy. I have great
appreciation for the attention to detail staff employs in this process, from application
and account setup all the way to meter installation in the billing system.
• Work continues on the Remit Plus (remote deposit and check scanning) software
implementation. The customer service, IT, and finance departments will be working
together on virtual training sometime in February, with a live date of March 1.
• Our Billing Specialist works diligently to comb through accounts before every billing to
identify issues with meter readings or high/low usage. She has identified several water
meters that have recently failed and has worked with the water department to address
those issues.
• Our Credit & Collections Specialist is following up weekly on delinquent tags that are
hung on customer’s door that receive no response. She puts in a lot of effort to try to
determine if the property is vacant or not and what the best next steps are for the
account.
• This year has gotten off to a great start for residential energy efficient appliance rebate
applications. Our Customer Service Representatives have been busy verifying the
efficiency of the appliances and adding those credits to customer’s accounts.

DISCUSSION:
• Reminder that the annual Commissioner Orientation will be held in March. Rather than
schedule a special meeting, staff is proposing conducting the orientation at the March 9,
2021 Regular Commission Meeting. If there are any specific topics or training the
commission would like covered, please let staff know. Also, please be sure to bring your
Governance Commission Policy ring binger to the orientation as we will be updating any
policies that have been added or changed over the past year.
• Inserts for the February billings include a promotional flyer for Automatic Bill Payment,
and our Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Program. Attached are copies of the two bill
inserts.
• January and February social media posts will feature a variety of topics including: bad
home heating habits - saving energy while staying comfortable, sign up for automatic
bill pay and receive a $5 credit, ERMU’s EV charging program featuring an affordable
time-of-use rate and up to a $500 rebate towards the purchase of an in home EV
charger, and several public service announcements such as dates of upcoming
commission meetings and holiday business closures.
• This month’s featured social media post is The Cost of Doing Nothing: LED Lighting
Upgrade. While typically our social media posts are geared more towards our residential
customers, we are always looking at ways to educate our commercial customers and
earn their attention on social media. This month’s featured post includes a video geared
towards businesses that are considering upgrading to LED lighting, but are worried it’s
too costly. The video shines a light on how much it costs a business to NOT upgrade. The
video link is provided below.
• The Communications Department has been busy working on the 2020 Annual Report
and anticipates having it completed in time to go out with the March billings.

ERMU Commission
FROM:
Chris Sumstad – Electric Superintendent
MEETING DATE:
February 9, 2021
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
6.1h
SUBJECT:
Staff Update
ACTION REQUESTED:
None
DISCUSSION:
• Installed 12 new residential services, which involves the connection of a secondary line
once the customer requests service.
• Crews began trimming trees around overhead lines that were identified as needing
more clearance throughout the course of the year. Tree trimmers are also working on
removing trees along County Road 35 to rebuild the three phase overhead line.
• Started setting poles on County Road 35 for the three phase overhead rebuild. The first
section starts at Zebulon Street and heads east for approximately 3000 feet. Along with
new poles, larger wire will be installed.
• Crews are changing out electric equipment that displays excessive heating on thermal
imaging which can cause equipment failure and outages.
• A residence on Main Street had its electric service disrupted by a construction company
installing communication wires. The service was repaired with new wire and splices.
• Changed ten streetlights along 3rd and 4th Streets north of Highway 10 from the older
high pressure sodium and mercury vapor style lights to LEDs.
• Continue to replace fault indicators as needed. Fault indicators help in pinpointing
underground faults during outages, making restoration quicker.
• The permanent service has been connected at Parkview Apartments. This is a 70-unit
apartment building located south of Coborn’s.

UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING
TO:
ERMU Commission
FROM:
Mike Tietz –Technical Services Superintendent
MEETING DATE:
February 9, 2021
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
6.1i
SUBJECT:
Staff Update
ACTION REQUESTED:
None
DISCUSSION:
• In January, the locators processed 137 locate tickets. These consisted of 2 emergency
tickets, 98 normal tickets, 4 non-excavation tickets, 18 updated tickets, 4 cancellations,
5 boundary surveys, and 6 locate meets. This resulted in a 30.1% decrease in tickets
from the previous month and an 48.9% increase over the prior year. The locators
continue to GPS and validate data for our electric maps.
• Electrical Technicians completed 151 service order tasks, updated the power bill,
performed weekly substation checks, attended to customer meter issues and off-peak
concerns.
• On January 21, staff ran generators #1, #2 & #4 and used city water for cooling of the
generators again without any issues. We continue to use city water during the winter
months until Lake Orono is returned to normal levels.
• Mapping department has been working with mPower to complete the Integrator
software implementation. The planned rollout has been delayed due to unforeseen
database configurations with our existing GIS system. Also, mPower is still working with
National Information Solutions Cooperative to complete the integration of CIS with
Integrator. I am still confident that field staff will be using electronic maps before the
construction season begins.
• We are in the process of reviewing applications and will be setting up interviews shortly
for the new Substation Apparatus Technician position.
• On April 21, ERMU will be hosting one of the two hands-on generation schools being put
on by Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association where attendees will learn about
combustion tuning, web deflections and alignment, as well as operational scenarios
such as black starting a power plant. Participants will also have an opportunity to take a
tour of the Landfill Gas Plant facility and learn about the waste gas reclamation facility.

ERMU Commission
FROM:
Dave Ninow – Water Superintendent
MEETING DATE:
February 9, 2021
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
6.1j
SUBJECT:
Staff Update
ACTION REQUESTED:
None
DISCUSSION:
• Delivered eleven new water meters.
• Sealed the water meter, installed an encoder receiver transmitter, and took curb stop
ties from eleven water services.
• Completed 15 BACTI/Total Chlorine Residual Samples
o All confirmed negative for Coliform Bacteria
o Bacteriological/Disinfectant Residual Monthly Report submitted to the MDH
• Completed 21 routine fluoride samples
o All samples met MDH standards
o Submitted MDH Fluoride Report
• Submitted Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) to the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) for the Water Treatment Plants.
• Submitted DMR to the MPCA for the Diesel Generation Plant.
• On January 30, we received a report of water boiling out of the ground on the west side
of Jackson Avenue, north of School Street. Utility staff was able to shut off the ten-inch
water main and excavate to find a radial crack in the pipe. Rental of a larger excavator
was needed due to the depth of the water main; repair of the leak was done in house by
utility staff.
• During our routine annual inspections of the iron and manganese filter at water
treatment plant #4 the water operators found that the filter media was uneven,
indicating an issue with backwashing. They also witnessed that there were some small
“mud balls” (clumps of media, iron, and manganese) on top of the filter media. We have
added a high strength chlorine solution to the filter and are running a series of air
washes and backwashes to break up the clumps. Filter media will need to be added to
replenish what was lost due to backwashing. The water plant control programing will be
modified to fix issues with the backwash sequence.
• The diaphragm pump that feeds sodium permanganate failed at water treatment plant
#6. We have replaced it with a new peristaltic chemical feed pump which will be more
accurate and reliable.

• Installation of the water main for a future municipal well was included in the plans for
Fire Station #3. ERMU’s cost for this portion of the project will be $60,130. This will
come from the $500,000 in the water main construction capital budget.
• Water department staff continues to work on plans for relocating water main that
MnDOT has identified as conflicting with the Highway 169 Redefine project.
• The water operators have continued to work on the annual preventative maintenance
of our water treatment plants.
