Motion carried 5-0 1.4 Recognition of Employee Longevity— Katy Olson, 8 years Water Operations Foreperson Katy Olson was recognized for eight years of dedicated service, particularly her passion and commitment to the water department. Katy shared reflections on teamwork, purpose, and the importance of supporting one another as a work family. Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes July 8, 2025 Page 1 35 2.0 CONSENT AGENDA (Approved By One Motion) Moved by Commissioner Zerwas and seconded by Commissioner Stewart to approve the Consent Agenda as follows: 2.1 Check Register —June 2025 2.2 Regular Meeting Minutes —June 3, 2025 2.3 Water Tower Attachment —Lease Amendment (Verizon) Motion carried 5-0. 3.0 OPEN FORUM No one appeared for open forum. 4.0 POLICY & COMPLIANCE 4.1 Commission Policy Review — G.4d —Customer Interests The Commission reviewed the policy, which outlines expectations for management's understanding and response to customer needs. Commissioners agreed the policy remains aligned with core values. No action was required. 5.0 BUSINESS ACTION 5.1 Financial Report —May 2025 Ms. Karpinski presented the report, noting that her second slide was labelled "January 2025 —April 2025" when it should say "January 2025 — May 2025." She went on to highlight statistics in the report including a year-to-date budget net of $735,000 which is a 3.8% margin. Electric operations were at a 6.89% margin, $700,000 favorable to budget, and about $700,000 above prior year. Water operations was at a loss of 46.29%, which is typical for this time of year. The water budget is $214,000 favorable to budget but $120,000 below prior year. Receivables are 93% current with only 3% over 90 days past due thanks to the efforts of the customer service team. There was an increase in revenue from new tower lease agreements. In response to a question, Ms. Karpinski confirmed that the budget has to show the full lease amount including any likely extensions. Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes July 8, 2025 Page 2 IR There was discussion about how weather has impacted the budget. Ms. Karpinski added that she expected increased connection fees, reduced expenses, and investment revenue to aid the water budget. There was a distribution for the Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) settlement with an initial amount received of $18,000, less $9,000 for legal fees. Staff expects future disbursements to have lower legal fees. These funds will offset increased PFAS testing costs. Moved by Commissioner Stewart and seconded by Commissioner Westgaard to receive the May 2025 Financial Report. Motion carried 5-0. 6.0 BUSINESS DISCUSSION 6.1 Staff Updates Ms. Youngs shared that a customer service representative vacancy has been posted and closes next week. Ms. Youngs provided an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meter installation update including: • Water: 221 meters remain to be exchanged, 70 are commercial. While customers are able to opt out of the remote meter reading function provided by AM], all physical meters in the system will need to be replaced. The opt -out process has been communicated to customers who expressed interest in exercising that option. A monthly manual meter read fee will begin August 1 for those customers, totaling either $50 or $60 depending on the number of meters the customer has. • Electric: 1,771 meters remain to be replaced. 6.2 City Council Update Chair Dietz provided a City Council update. 6.3 American Public Power Association (APPA) National Conference Discussion In June, Commissioners Stewart, Westgaard, and Zerwas, along with Mr. Hanson attended the APPA National Conference in New Orleans, LA.

This is a company performance -based program designed to incentivize employee commitment towards the company's success. Divided into categories representing core values of the company and again into sub -categories that are quantifiable, this program is designed to track goals that require companywide support from the employees to continually achieve. When the employees work together as a team to achieve these goals, the company recognizes a corresponding increase in value to our customers. DISCUSSION: At close of the fiscal 2025 year, and completion of the audit, the final scorecard will be evaluated and presented to the Commission for awarding the related distribution in 2026. We will be tracking the progress of the company and the related scorecard quarterly throughout 2025. The second quarter scorecard is attached, with some notes for the second quarter results. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None, until awarded the following year.

BACKGROUND: Second 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 is assessed to the property taxes in the fall. Please note this number will only be presented in the fourth 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 receive 70%-75% of the amounts collected after the agency receives their split, as we have started placing new accounts with a different agency. • 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: I have for review recap comparisons with last year, identifying the categories and amounts for each quarter and the running totals. Regarding the second quarter 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 2025 is $0.00 as there has been no activity yet for this year. • The amounts submitted only to Collection Agencies for 2025 is $147.98. (Please note that amounts submitted to Revenue Recapture were also submitted to Collection Agencies.) Page 1of2 41 • The amounts submitted to Revenue Recapture were more than the prior year. The Q2 2025 RR amount is $6,313.45. We collected a total of $5,004.02 from RR in Q2 2025. • Write Offs for Q2 2025 of $2,082.66, which is significantly less than the prior year. The biggest impact to Write Offs is due to the removal of old account balances due to a six - year limit mandated by the state. We have had to remove, and write-off, a total of $1,432.33 in Q2 2025 due to the statute of limitations. The attached report shows those dollars submitted to both the Collection Agency and RR. The second quarter totals are $6,461.43. To break these totals down by provider, it is $5,181.87 for Electric, $537.54 for Franchise Fees, $328.01 for Sewer, $213.20 for Water, $123.73 for Trash, and $77.08 for Storm Water. Our allowance for doubtful accounts (a reserve for bad debt/write-offs) is $25,605 or .05% uncollectible accounts per revenue dollar. According to the American Public Power Association's most recent published standard ratios (2021) the industry standard is between .15% and 1.49%. Interestingly, the Northern/Central Plains average is .15%. Our totals for the year are below the national average, at .02%.

In compliance with this policy, ERMU has historically employed the American Public Power Association Safety Manual. Staff is seeking to reconfirm this practice by naming the American Public Power Association Safety Manual, as amended from time to time, as the official employee safety manual. The current version, in effect, is the 17th Addition. This manual is made available to all employees and is an integral part of the ERMU safety program which includes additional safety policies, procedures, rules, programs, and required safety trainings. ATTACHMENT: ERMU Governance Policy— G.4f — Employee Interests Page 1 of 1 Elk River Municipal Utilities COMMISSION POLICY Section: Governance Category: Delegation to Management Policies Policy Reference: Policy Title: G.4f Employee Interests PURPOSE: With this policy, the Commission sets forth its expectations for the General Manager concerning the employment, termination of employment, management, compensation and treatment of employees. POLICY: In all ERMU interactions with and among the employees of ERMU, the General Manager shall not intentionally allow situations, processes, actions, behaviors or attitudes that are unsafe, illegal, undignified, inattentive or unresponsive to employee needs or requests, or otherwise in conflict with the organizational values advocated by the Commission. (See Organizational Values Policy). Consistent with this general statement: The General Manager shall not allow ERMU management or the Commission to be inadequately informed about, or fail to exercise reasonable judgment and discretion regarding appropriate and timely action on, any issue of material significance concerning employee safety and health, performance, satisfaction and morale, or employment policies and processes. 2. The General Manager shall not operate without an Employee Safety Manual. 3. The General Manager shall not operate without proactive management support for a safety culture that includes expected compliance with the Safety Manual, participation in ongoing safety training, consistent use of safe work practices and personal protective equipment, reporting of unsafe conditions and safety incidents/near misses, and accountabilities for safety at the organizational, work group, and individual level. Page 1 of 2 47 ERMU Commission Policy — G.4f Employee Interests 4. The General Manager shall not operate without documented employment policies, processes, and practices that have been adopted by the Commission and communicated to employees in the form of an ERMU Employee Handbook. 5. The General Manager shall exercise reasonable judgment and discretion to avoid operating ERMU in material contravention of the Commission -approved employment policies, processes, and practices or any applicable employment law or regulation. 6. The General Manager shall adopt a reasonable process for notifying employees of material changes to the ERMU Employee Handbook and other applicable employee policies. 7. The General Manager shall adopt a reasonable process for conducting and documenting annual employee performance planning and evaluation in a manner consistent with the nature of each employee's duties. 8. Within the financial limitations of the budget approved by the Commission, the General Manager shall provide employees with safe working conditions, adequate facilities and equipment, and other support needed to enable high levels of employee performance, job satisfaction, and career development. 9. The General Manager shall not use methods of collecting, reviewing, transmitting, or storing employee information that fail to protect the information against improper access and use, damage or loss, or unauthorized destruction. POLICY HISTORY: Adopted August 8, 2017 Page 2 of 2 4r,;.Z, Elk Riv Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Thomas Geiser — Operations Director MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: August 12, 2025 2.6 SUBJECT: East Substation Foundation Installation Bid ACTION REQUESTED: Adopt Resolution 25-5 awarding contracts for East Substation Foundation Installation BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION: The East Substation capital project requires the installation of concrete foundations for the structures and equipment. To meet ERMU's needs for this project, staff decided to contract out this installation work to a qualified company. Staff worked with DGR Engineering to develop the bid package and create the advertisement for bids. On July 2, 2025, the package was made available for bidders on QuestCDN's bid management system as well as on ERMU's website. On July 31, 2025, ERMU held a bid opening for the East Substation Foundation Installation.

Per the Governance Policy G4.c Strategic and Business Planning, and consistent with Policy G.2c Agenda Planning, the Commission and management shall review an annual update of the strategic plan in July and review and adopt the financial plan for the succeeding five-year period in December. This review was moved to August in 2025 due to staff schedules. Per policy, the strategic plan shall provide "strategic direction for a period of not less than three (3) future fiscal years in terms of high-level elements such as vision, core purpose, core values, mission, key result areas, and broadly stated strategic objectives that are intended to achieve the organizational outcomes contained in the Commission's Authority and Purpose Policies." Included in the Commission's Authority and Purpose Policies are the bylaws, organizational core purpose, mission, vision, values, fundamentals, and planning themes. These policies are summarized in the attached document. All policies, decisions, initiatives, and tasks by ERMU on behalf of our consumer owners should be in direct line with the Commission's authority and purpose. All planning is conducted through a process which categorizes initiatives under commission -adopted planning themes aligned with our mission, vision, values, and fundamentals. This process is intentionally transparent to our consumer owners and clearly defines how ERMU is expected to operate. DISCUSSION: The purpose of a Strategic Plan is to establish long-term direction and goals for an organization and develop a plan to get there. The leadership team underwent a lengthy process to review the existing authority and purpose policies and identify new initiatives for consideration in the annual strategic and business planning process. Page 1of2 The 2024-2026 Strategic Planning Dashboard had nine initiatives. One initiative, Wall Art for Field Services Building, was closed in 2024. Staff expects to close the remaining 2024 initiatives by the end of 2025: • Theme 1, Initiative 2: Evaluate Role of Committees/Develop Engagement Committee • Theme 2, Initiative 1: Update Management Policy Manual • Theme 3, Initiative 1: Review/Update Authority and Purpose Policies All 2025 initiatives are on schedule and expected to close by the end of 2025: • Theme 1, Initiative 1: Disaster Recovery Plan • Theme 4, Initiative 1: Completion of AM] • Theme 5, Initiative 1: Planning for Future Wells, Treatment and Storage • Theme 6, Initiative 1: Renew Rate/Cost of Service Study; Develop Load Management One existing 2026 initiative was included in last year's Strategic Plan: • Theme 3, Initiative 2: Volt/VAR Control Staff propose adding five strategic initiatives for 2026-2027: • Theme 1, Initiative 3: Evaluate New NISC Offerings • Theme 2, Initiative 2: Evaluate IT/OT Needs • Theme 4, Initiative 2: Outage Management System • Theme 5, Initiative 2: East Substation • Theme 6, Initiative 2: Review AppSuite Processes In summary, staff proposes 13 initiatives for the 2025-2027 Strategic Plan, including seven initiatives that are expected to close by the end of 2025. The proposed dashboard may continue to change as the management team evaluates our Authority and Purpose Policies, specifically our Mission, Vision and Values. Any recommended changes will be discussed at a future commission meeting. As we head into the 2026 budgeting process, staff desires confirmation that these priorities align with the Commission's strategic direction for the organization.

We also seek to partner with schools in ERMU's service territory whenever possible. In 2023, staff learned about a program from the National Energy Foundation (NEF) that met both of those priorities. After multiple planning sessions with NEF, the Think! Energy program was launched in spring 2024, based in part on the service NEF was already providing locally to Austin and Rochester Utilities. In this program fourth grade students received a classroom presentation by NEF staff on energy and water conservation, which corresponds to Minnesota Academic Standards. After the presentation, students were sent home with an ERMU-branded energy saving kit to apply their knowledge and teach their families what they had learned. They then reported their efforts at home back to NEF who compiled the conservation data and awarded a small classroom grant to teachers based on their students' response rates. With the success of that first year's efforts and the positive feedback from students, parents, and schools, ERMU continued the initiative in the spring 2025. DISCUSSION: Staff is glad to report another successful year with NEF. Our Think! Energy program reached 389 students in 14 fourth -grade classrooms across Lincoln, Meadowvale, Parker, and Twin Lakes Elementaries from April 29-May 1, 2025. Key results include: • 42% return rate on energy kit installation data • 91% of parents stating they would like to see the program continued in local schools • 88% of parents said they will continue to use the products after the completion of the program • An estimated net savings of 96,058.14 kWh from the energy saving kit products We looks forward to continuing this successful program in 2026. Page 1of2 100 FINANCIAL IMPACT: $14,612, for in -person presentations delivered by NEF staff, energy saving kits, and the Think! Energy program suite. This was a budgeted item for 2025.

Good program!" "This really helps me save money and electricity, thank you." 202S PARENT PARTICIPANTS Think! Energy is a collaborative partnership between Elk River Municipal Utilities and the National Energy Foundation (NEF). It encourages teachers, students and families to "Think!" "Talk!" and "Take Action!" with their energy and water use. The program objective is to build energy awareness throughout the school year, with an engaging presentation and robust energy efficiency curriculum. The program also expands enthusiasm to homes via Elk River Municipal Utilities branded curriculum, games, online resources and measurable savings from the Take Action Kit. 0 National Energy Foundation 2025 Take Action! Program Report 16 107 Teachers were invited to participate in Think! Energy via phone and personal email communications. The program director, Chaise Ewert-Meyer, reached out to each lead teacher to invite them to participate. Teachers could enroll either through a registration form on ihinkenergy.org/ERMU or over phone/email with Chaise. After enrolling, teachers received immediate confirmation. Presentations were scheduled for April 29th-May 1st and were conducted by Chaise. The teacher materials and kits shipments were sent before the presentations, so everything was ready on the presentation day. The program fully enrolled with 389 participants. The program provided energy efficiency content that was custom devloped to support the Minnesota Academic Standards in fourth grade subjects. Curriculum correlation charts were posted to the program website to demonstrate these strong curriculum ties to teachers and administration. This highly focused curriculum ensured strong program enthusiasm within the education community. NEF utilized multiple strategies to support teacher, student and parent participants: Installation videos for items in the Take Action Kit Dedicated educational service representative Custom toll -free number Family Introduction Letter 9 Implementation Checklist for teachers Spanish Home Energy Worksheet Online and hard copy Home Energy Worksheets Amazon gift cards for teachers with a qualifying Home Energy Worksheet return Automated emails to communicate program details Real time ability for teachers to determine students completing Home Energy Worksheets online through the Teacher Portal Updates on progress toward teacher gift card incentive Communication of additional resources to families at thinkenergy.org/ERMU 4nikn Homo Emw Woe.hl glMl SMM Fd� e.�w wre.rn.n idl laifiAWby C: M/H �pT {Nvy Fow �:.. 0 National Energy Foundation 2025 Take Action! Program Report 17 108 All program materials were delivered to classrooms in the beginning of April in 2025. Before each delivery, NEF confirmed the school address, student numbers, teacher contact information and other details. The NEF registration suite automatically emailed tracking numbers for teacher materials, Take Action Kit shipments and teacher action items needed to prepare for a successful implementation. The teacher materials box was delivered first to individual teachers. In it, the Implementation Checklist instructed educators to prepare families for the arrival of the kits by sending home the Fomily Introduction Letter. The presentation introduced the school -to -home Family Guide as a way for students to share efficiency knowledge with their families. The presentation introduced teachers and students to the contents of their Take Action Kit and many no -cost, low-cost ways to reduce energy and water use in the home. Students were motivated to complete the Home Energy Worksheet (HEW) as they installed their efficient technologies with a parent or guardian. The Think! Energy color -changing pencil increased this enthusiasm when offered upon return of each worksheet. In addition, teachers were given the opportunity to earn a $50 Amazon gift card with a 50-79% return of their student's Home Energy Worksheets or a $75 e-gift card for a 80%+ return Three teachers received the $75 classroom award and five received the $50 classroom award. Families were prepared for the presentation and letter with background knowledge to teach and build enthusiasm in the home for their installations. When the second shipment of Take Action Kits arrived in classrooms, students could then take their kits and Fomily Guides home to share after the presentation.

We are also sending the Business Clean Energy Choice flyer to all commercial electric customers. • In addition to the bill insert topic, social media posts this month feature community engagement events (Night to Unite and Touch -A -Truck), the commission meeting notice, window AC unit and dehumidifier rebates, and the Labor Day closure. • In response to comments received from customers who interacted with a residential solar solicitor in the community, ERMU posted information on Facebook to clarify the utilities' role and relationship with these types of companies. The key point of this message being, "Although ERMU works with customers that choose to explore solar options, we do not endorse, partner, or affiliate with any solar companies." Luckily, it has become one of our most shared posts, as our audience helps us communicate accurate information. • On August 5, ERMU staff participated in Night to Unite. As you can see from our social media post it was another great opportunity to connect with the community! • ERMU staff is excited to launch a new event at the Elk River Farmers Market on August 14 featuring vehicles from city police, fire, and ERMU. Touch -A -Truck is a free, family - friendly event offering kids a chance to explore the vehicles they see around town. Special thanks to City of Elk River Event Coordinator Karen Wingard, Fire Chief Mark Dickinson, Police Chief David Kuhnly, and First Bank Elk River for supporting this event. • As a member of the Minnesota Clerks and Finance Officer Association's Record Retention Task Force, Tony is reviewing utilities -focused portions of the General Record Retention Schedule for Minnesota Cities, in preparation for a 2025 update. The retention schedule is a reference for municipal staff across the state that provides data privacy classifications and explains how long records are required to be maintained for public access. The task force's recommendations are reviewed by a panel in St. Paul, consisting of the attorney general, state auditor, legislative auditor, and the director of the Minnesota Historical Society for final approval. The last update was in 2021. Page 1of2 131 • ERMU's Safety Training Work Group had its quarterly meeting on July 30. Representatives from every department gathered to discuss their thoughts on current safety practices and ideas for future trainings. The group commits thoughtful consideration to this effort and including Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association's safety trainer Joe Schmidt in these meetings helps ensure that the recommendations provided are put into action. • If the Commission wishes to follow previous year's schedules, staff suggests holding the annual employee lunch on October 14 (that month's meeting date). We are hoping to carve out additional time for safety training that would be beneficial for staff and commissioners. On July 23, Communications & Administrative Coordinator Jenny Foss graduated from the Elk River Area Chamber of Commerce Community Leadership program. This nine - month program fosters a deeper understanding of the Elk River community, develops leadership skills, and provides opportunities for community involvement. If any commissioners have interest in participating in this program as an ERMU representative you can find more information and let staff know.

What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)? Every kilowatt-hour of renewable energy generated by MMPA is assigned a unique REC number to ensure that each unit of renewable energy is accurately tracked. The State of Minnesota also uses RECs to track renewable energy use.

RECs are also known as "green certificates" or "renewable energy credits" The State of Minnesota uses RECs to track renewable energy generation and use. An independent third party selected by the State of Minnesota tracks the creation and retirement of RECs. Generation is metered to ensure the correct number of RECs are allocated to each renewable generation facility. Am I committed to a contract term? Yes. Participation in the Clean Energy Choice for Business program is based on an annual contract term. In return, the per -kWh surcharge is fixed for the same time period. You will be informed of any change in the per -kWh surcharge for the upcoming year by November 1, and you have until December 1 to inform us if you want to continue your contract in the new year. How much does Clean Energy Choice for Business Cost? An incremental charge of $0.002 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) is added to the standard electric rate. The charge is applied to all kWh in excess of the Minnesota Renewable Energy Standard, which is currently 25% of all electric sales. An example fee table is listed below. Formula: (kWh per month (10,000 x [100%-25%] x $.002) = Clean Energy Choice Additional Surcharge kWh Approximate Clean Energy Choice per Month Electric Charge Additional Surcharge 1,000 $100 $1.50 10,000 $1,000 $15 100,000 $10,000 $150 Elk River Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Thomas Geiser — Operations Director MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: August 12, 2025 6.1e SUBJECT: Staff Update ACTION REQUESTED: None DISCUSSION: • Working through the second round of maps for the new GIS mapping system that we plan to move forward with in the future.
