Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: ' FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Mark Fuchs—Electric Superintendent <br /> John Dietz—Chair <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> July 15, 2014 6.1c <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • Had seven new services. <br /> • Continue working on collecting data with the GPS for our ArcView maps as time <br /> permits. <br /> • Continue rebuilding Baldwin Ave and Line Ave by replacing rear lot line overhead with <br /> front lot line underground. <br /> • We began installing a new feeder out of our west substation site. It will be feeder 74. <br /> With the installation we'll be looping some underground and removing some overhead <br /> taps on the north side of County Rd 1 by Meadowvale School. <br /> • Started working on changing out some of the rusty junction boxes. <br /> • Started working on changing out fuse pads. This has been an ongoing project that had to <br /> be done due to our high fault current. <br /> • Installed a transformer for the Oak Knoll ball field lights. <br /> • Installed new primary to Handke School due to the fact that when they removed the <br /> asphalt in parking lot,they found that the wire was not buried at the correct depth. <br /> • On June 8th a car hit a pole in Otsego. We got the power back on to as many people as <br /> possible, and then proceeded to get the pole changed out. We should be able to collect <br /> our material and labor costs as we've submitted them to the driver's insurance company. <br /> • On June 14th we had lightning hit, and wreck, an overhead switch. When the lightning <br /> hit the switch, one of the feeder reclosers didn't work correctly which caused a longer <br /> outage because we had to put the load on another feeder. We put a used recloser in <br /> temporarily and ordered a new recloser. <br /> • On June 16th we had lightning hit a pole in Dayton. This caused problems with arrestors <br /> and jumpers. <br /> • We received our Hitachi Compact Excavator. This was a budgeted piece of equipment. <br /> rowEHED 11 <br /> M ;® Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T o S E R V E <br /> 87 <br />
