3.0 OPEN FORUM <br /> No one appeared for open forum. <br /> 4.0 OLD BUSINESS <br /> There is no old business. <br /> 5.0 NEW BUSINESS <br /> 5.1 Performance Metrics 3rd Quarter Update <br /> Theresa Slominski presented the Performance Metrics third quarter update. Staff is on <br /> target for all metrics except one; the CAIDI reliability metric. CAIDI is the average outage <br /> duration, or average restoration time. The goal is 2 hours or less and we are just under 3 <br /> hours for the metric calculation. This is certainly not indicative of our capability,but rather <br /> a factor of the increased"critter activity"that has plagued us this year. Noting these items <br /> indicates that the metrics goals are probably not set too low for easy achievement,but offer <br /> some challenge to meet them. An update was also given on the employee turnover metric <br /> which is currently on target,but has the possibility of falling below the benchmark if we <br /> were to lose one more employee in the fourth quarter. <br /> 5.2 Wage and Benefits Committee Update—Cost of Living Adjustment <br /> On November 6, the Committee reviewed cost of living adjustments(COLA)numbers <br /> from our market. Although some numbers were still preliminary, the comparable sample <br /> indicates some market stability with all samples falling within a very tight range; the <br /> average being 2.75%. <br /> John Dietz shared that the Committee also discussed the recently created pay plan groups <br /> which were created to allow flexibility for the adjusting to multiple workforce markets. <br /> Because of the recent corrective adjustments made, the Committee felt that the pay plan is <br /> currently providing market equality for all four groups. The Committee believes that <br /> because of this current equality, the 2015 COLA should be applied equally to all four pay <br /> plan groups this year. Because of the work that went into recent pay plan group <br /> adjustments, the Committee discussed maintaining pace with the comparable market trend. <br /> This would result in a COLA of 2.75%. <br /> Troy Adams reached out to the Commission to see if they would like any additional <br /> information or would like the Committee to research any additional issues before next <br /> Page 2 <br /> Special meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> November 18,2014 <br /> 22 <br />
