Staff urged <br /> the Commission to consider property purchases for additional wells,before it becomes <br /> critical. Several options, and ideas were explored, and the consensus was that ERMU would <br /> not lose by purchasing property in advance of the need. Commission authorized Bryan <br /> Adams to begin the search for property. John Diez asked Bryan to discuss the topic of land <br /> for wells, with the City Council. John Dietz indicated that perhaps well property could be <br /> part of the development process. <br /> Other Business <br /> Copies of samples of the new utility bills were distributed, and Commission advised <br /> that the new bills would be used for the May 25, 2002 mailing. <br /> Bryan Adams reported that the 1992 line truck needs extensive repairs.

Phil Hals believed that things were going well, but was <br /> concerned about regular maintenance records being kept on the vehicles. Glenn Sundeen <br /> replied that he feels the Utilities are taking a back seat to other City departments, and that he <br /> received faster turn around time from outside sources. <br /> The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities <br /> Commission will be June 4, 2002 at 4:00 in the Utilities offices. <br /> James Tralle adjourned the meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> at 6:00 PM. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> c;222-tc e.- -/--6t__J. )•'g <br /> Patricia Hemza <br /> Office Manager <br />
