Box 430 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> (763) 441-2020 <br /> UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Mark Fuchs <br /> John Dietz, Chair Line Superintendent <br /> Daryl Thompson, Vice Chair <br /> Al Nadeau, Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> October 9, 2012 6.1 <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Updates <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • Continued rebuilding Quinn Avenue and 6th Street by Cretex. <br /> • Had three new house services. <br /> • Finished the 8th and Irving rebuild. <br /> • Had a recloser repaired at Station 14 bank 4 on feeder 42. <br /> • We had MI-TECH pole inspection services inspect some poles at the ground line for rot. <br /> We have some wood x-arms that are in poor shape on a line and wanted to see if we <br /> could just replace the x-arms and not the poles. They found one pole that did not pass and <br /> any poles over 15 years are internally treated with copper napthenate solution to help <br /> prevent rot. We also had them test the wood structures at the power plant substation. <br /> • Continue rebuilding O'Day and O'Brian Avenue in Otsego. <br /> • Continue working on changing out fuse pads. <br /> • Removed a PMH-9 switchgear at HWY 169 and 5`h street. It was part of the Baldwin St. <br /> Rebuild project. <br /> • Sherburne County court house upgraded their service on the main building so when they <br /> had the scheduled outage to do that, we installed a fiberglass box pad and changed out the <br /> transformer since it was rusting out. <br /> • Art Gatchell will be retiring on October 121h. He has taken a job as a safety consultant for <br /> Xcel Energy on the CAP-X 2020 project. <br /> PONEDED BP <br /> ® NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T o S E R V E <br />
