WHEREAS, we, the citizens of Elk River, place high value on local control over
community services and therefore have chosen to operate a community -owned, locally

utility, have a direct say in utility operations and policies; and
WHEREAS, ERMU provides our homes, businesses, farms, social service, and local
government agencies with safe, reliable, efficient, and cost-effective electricity
employing sound business practices designed to ensure the best possible service at not -
for -profit rates; and
WHEREAS, ERMU is a valuable community asset that contributes substantially to the
well-being of local citizens through energy efficiency, customer service, environmental
protection, economic development, and safety awareness;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that ERMU will continue to work to bring lower -
cost, safe, reliable electricity (and water services) to community homes and businesses
just as it has since the utility was created; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the week of October 2-8 be designated Public Power
Week in order to honor ERMU for its contributions to the community and to make its
consumer -owners, policy makers, and employees more aware of its contributions to
their well-being; and
