energy and water saving tips. Staff will also be posting public service announcements
such as the Memorial Day closure and garbage service delay, Juneteenth closure, and

year-to-year comparison will be provided for review and discussion. Staff will be
emailing out a link to the survey after the June meeting.
• This past month ERMU's Safety Training Workgroup held its quarterly meeting and
participated in a review of Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association's (MMUA) safety
coordinator. The quarterly meeting was a chance to check in with all departments to
ensure needs and expectations for safety training are being met. MMUA's safety
coordinator received high marks in his review as representatives from all the
municipalities he works with regard his trainings as high quality and effective.
• In preparation for the 2023 Sherburne County Fair, we will be registering Eddy the EV
and one of our bucket trucks for the parade, which is taking place on Saturday, July 22 at
10:00 a.m. We have requested to be placed next to the City's float for easy joint
participation for our council liaisons. Staff is already looking forward to another great
year at the parade! If any Commissioners would like to join us please let me know.
