J Elk River Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Tom Sagstetter - Conservation and Key Accounts John Dietz—Chair Manager Al Nadeau — Vice Chair Daryl Thompson —Trustee MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: October 8,2013 6.1f SUBJECT: Staff Update DISCUSSION: • Attended Tri-County Community Action Energy Resource Fair. Met with 5 ERMU customers at the event. The major topic of discussion was getting a budget plan set up. The event was a success and there were hundreds of people that attended. Will recommend shorter hours next year to Tri-Cap. For a first time event the participation was good, and the customers that attended really got value from learning about efficiency and how to save money. • Met with Rebecca Haug and John Setala on the future of Energy City and future involvement of the City. 1 was tasked by the Energy City Commission to schedule a meeting between City Administrator Cal Portner, Chairman Setala and Vice Chair Sagstetter on how Energy City will be supported in the future with staff changes in the EDA and Environmental areas. • Met with Rebecca Haug to determine what additional support ERMU can provide to the City as a result of staff changes in the Environmental department in relation to garbage and recycling services. • Working with large commercial customers on power quality issues on the customer side of the meter. • I have also been coordinating schedules with industrial customers as a result of equipment upgrades at the Waco and North Substations. • Received four commercial irrigation water conservation rebate applications. I will work with water department staff to validate installation and will apply bill credit rebates on the accounts for the Smart Controllers and the exemption from tier 3 pricing for next year once all equipment's have been verified. � (p POIEREO IT ■ II Page 1 of I NATURE Reliable Public Power Provider POWERED To SERVE 130
