We are in the process of filling this position. <br /> On November 29, 2006, we experienced power outage in Otsego/Dayton. Enclosed is a <br /> poem from the Otsego branch of the Bank of Elk River concerning this outage. It is good <br /> for all of us to be reminded of the effect power outages have on our customers. <br /> Attached is a letter from the State Auditors offices reflecting on our past infraction of not <br /> having enough collateral to cover our bank deposits and certain payroll records being <br /> destroyed resulting from the Hemza issue. Our current financial director has learned <br /> from past mistakes of others and will not allow them to happen in the future. <br /> The MMUA Winter/Legislative Conference in St. Paul, MN is February 14-16, 2007. <br /> The APPA congressional rally in Washington I3C is March 13-15. I plan to attend both <br /> unless this commission desires otherwise. Jerry Talke will be attending the AAPA <br /> conference. I would encourage the other commission members to attend as well. <br /> Attached is the agenda for the MMUA conference. <br /> Michael Nolas is MMUA lobbyist in Washington DC.
