Page 3 <br /> Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> May 11, 2004 <br /> James Tralle moved to approve the resolution as presented. John Deitz moved against the resolution because of <br /> this being a new program he would like to wait until they have more experience. Jerry Takle asked if the City <br /> attorney had reviewed the documents. Bryan Adams indicated no but they would be provided the documents. <br /> James Tralle agrees but feels it would be a positive step. <br /> Jerry Takle moved to approve the Certificate of Resolution to participate. James Tralle seconded the motion. <br /> Motion carried 2-1. John Dietz opposed the motion. <br /> 5.4 Review Eastern Area Developments and Water Capacity Needs <br /> The commission was presented with a map of future developments with approximately 1800 new <br /> customers. Future water demands were discussed along with acquiring the land to build new wells. Bryan has <br /> been working with Michelle McPherson and Terry Maurer so they are aware of the future need for land to build <br /> the necessary wells in the new developments. <br /> 6.2 Review and Consider ASR Study <br /> Bryan explained the Aquifer storage and recovery process to the commission. With the increased demands <br /> on our water system and with Well #2 needing upgrading in the future, we could utilize this process and delay <br /> building a new treatment plant. Well # 8 would be used as the testing site. Phase 1 is estimated to cost$45,000 <br /> with a total cost in the$250,000 range. Bryan would like to start phase one of a multi phase process. <br /> John Dietz moved to approve this for the 2005 budget. James Tralle seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 6.3 Review APPA 2002 Rate Comparisons <br /> The rate comparisons were reviewed with ERMU being competitive in the residential and commercial <br /> rates but much less competitive in the industrial demand rates. <br /> Other Business <br /> There was no other business. <br /> The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission will be June 8, 2004. <br /> President Jerry Takle adjourned the regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission at <br /> 6:00 p.m. <br /> t espectfully s...mitt•. <br /> Nihk <br /> Judy McSpadden <br /> Recording Clerk <br />
