At the February Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting, we briefly discussed
the benefit survey. This survey has been sent out and is coming back very slowly.
Although this survey will contain a lot of data, it will be difficult to evaluate them and
obtain useful information. Attached is a copy of this benefit survey with a proposed point
system used to evaluate these surveys. This point system is somewhat subjective;
therefore staff needs your input to ensure we are going down the right path. We can
explain the details at our meeting.
ities
I have completed the lineman wage salary which is also attached. I did not extend the
wage survey beyond the lineman's position because the benefit survey would take these
other utilities so long to complete, I did not want to unnecessarily burden them.
