Page 3 <br /> Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> March 12, 2002 <br /> 6.2 Review and Consider Pole Attachment Agreement <br /> The ERMU shares poles to carry overhead electric feeders with Connexus in eastern Elk <br /> River. Staff recommends authorization of the Agreement, which has been reviewed by Ron <br /> Black. <br /> George Zabee moved to authorize the Pole Attachment Agreement between <br /> Connexus Energy, and Elk River Municipal Utilities. John Dietz seconded the motion. <br /> Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 6.3 Authorization to Hire Lineperson <br /> The 2002 ERMU budget contains an item for another Lineperson position. The position <br /> will be the beginning of an electric service crew to perform maintenance on the electric <br /> system. Commission questioned Staff regarding the way Linepersons are paired for crews. <br /> Glenn Sundeen explained that crew members are routinely rotated, and that two apprentice <br /> linepersons are not put together. <br /> George Zabee moved to approve the hiring of an additional Lineperson. John Dietz <br /> seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 6.4 Review Electric Meter Reconnect Policy <br /> Staff presented a survey of other Utilities concerning the reconnection of electricity after <br /> hours. It is the consensus of Commission and Staff that reconnecting meters after dark is not <br /> a good policy. <br /> John Dietz moved to adapt the following: <br /> If service is disconnected there is a $20.00 reconnection charge within the <br /> normal working hours of 8:00 a.m. —4:30 p.m. Monday—Friday. The <br /> Reconnection charge after normal working hours is $100.00. Reconnection <br /> will only occur before 8:00 p.m. <br /> George Zabee seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br />
