A proposed blanket association agreement has <br /> been prepared, and Staff recommends authorization to proceed with the Mutual Aid <br /> Agreement. <br /> George Zabee moved to authorize the General Manager to sign the Mutual Aid <br /> Agreement regarding Federal Emergency Management Agency criteria. James Tralle <br /> seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 6.5 Review and Consider Water Economic Development Incentive Rate <br /> Commission was advised that a proposal from Advanced Nutritionals Corporation <br /> (ANC)to locate a facility in Elk River has been received by City Council. The facility <br /> will process juice boxes, or like products. Depending upon the number of production <br /> lines installed, the daily water consumption may vary from approximately 32,000 gallons <br /> to 250,000 gallons. Due to the potential large water consumption, ANC has requested a <br /> special water rate. <br /> The Elk River Utilities Staff has proposed a Water Economic Development <br /> Incentive Rate as follows: Base unit cost for first 2,000,000 gallons/month, 20% <br /> discount of base unit cost above 2,000,000 gallons/month. Term of this special rate is <br /> three years <br /> John Dietz noted that the business will be an asset to the City. George Zabee and <br /> James Tralle concurred. John Dietz further reported on the planned use of land adjacent <br /> to the new ANC facility. <br /> George Zabee moved to adopt the Water Economic Development Incentive Rate <br /> (a copy of which, is attached to these minutes), as presented. James Tralle seconded the <br /> motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> Other Business <br /> Bryan Adams advised the Commission that John Plaisted has inquired if the <br /> Utilities would be interested in utilizing a share of the future building on the corner of <br /> King and Main.
