Elk River Municipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway phone: 763.441.2020 Elk River, MN 55330 Fax:763.441.8099 September 8, 2004 To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Jerry Takle James Tralle John Dietz From: Bryan Adams Subject: City Council Goal Setting Workshop The first annual goal setting work sessions of the city council and its advisory commissions and independent commission is scheduled for Monday, October 11, 2004 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lions Park Center. This commission should be in attendance. This goal setting work session is a result of the work Jim Brimeyer did with the city council and staff in regard to governance and goals. The goal of this workshop is to coordinate all the commissions and city council to ensure we are all going in the same direction and identify and resolve any underlying issues. In preparation for this workshop, we should identify our major goals or current long term issues we may have, probably limited to two or three. Also for our perspective, what is Elk Rivers' largest issue and do we play a part in that issue. Because distribution utilities are more reactionary than policy driven, this effort may be more applicable to other commissions. In an effort to identify some goals and issues, I offer the following. The 2004 goals contained in our annual report to the city council in order of priority are: A) Satisfy 2004 Budget requirements and complete the following projects started in 2003. I) Construction of Well #8 with associated facilities. 2) Construction for Administration Building & City Hall Complex. 3) Complete numerous electric feeder expansion to accommodate existing and future growth. B) Continue to investigate and solve long term physical and financial growth needs. This necessitates the need to keep current the Springstad financial model.
