Elk Ri <br />Municipal Utilities <br />UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />PINEIE! I~ <br />I~IAfiUR~ <br />Q p W E R E D T O S E R E <br />TO: FROM: <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Wade Lovelette-Superintendent of Technical <br />John Dietz, Chair Services <br />Daryl Thompson, Vice Chair <br />Al Nadeau, Trustee <br />MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />October 11, 2011 6.1 <br />SUBJECT: <br />Staff U dates - Su erintendent of Technical Services <br />DISCUSSION: <br />In September, the Security Systems Department had a total of 61 phone contacts, 11 new <br />systems quoted, eight system sales made, eight installs completed, 25 service calls made and 11 <br />personal visits. <br />The Locating department had a total of 253 locate tickets, five of them being emergency <br />tickets. The numbers of tickets are down a little bit from August, but I expect that number to <br />increase as the days marching toward freeze up lessen. <br />Meter Shop and Locating staff performed a practice commercial energy audit last month. <br />Meter reading is going very well for our part-time meter reader. The lap-top for meter <br />reading seems to be paying for itself very fast. <br />I have been working on applying for Elk River Municipal Utilities to be recognized as a <br />Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3) from American Public Power Association (APPA). A lot <br />of data and records go into a report like this to provide the right kind of information. Attached is <br />a memo explaining what APPA is about and the RP3 program overview. <br />
