Page 3 <br /> Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> November 14, 2000 <br /> Staff has recommended that the Commission reconsider our present bulk water sale policy, <br /> which only allows water tanker trucks to fill at the hydrant by the Utility Office building during <br /> normal business hours. With all of the building construction in Elk River, along with traffic delays <br /> and road construction, this restrictive policy is no longer practical. <br /> James Tralle moved to approve the Water-Construction Site metered hydrant rate in addition <br /> to the present policy. George Zabee seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 5.3 Review and Consider Electric Tariff Sheets <br /> The revised electric rates have been approved at a past meeting, but the Electric Tariff <br /> Sheets, which formalize the terms are presented and discussed. A short reviewal of the rates was <br /> given by Bryan Adams. <br /> James Tralle moved to approve the Electric Tariff Sheets as presented. George Zabee <br /> seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 5.4 Review and Consider Expense Budget for 2001 <br /> Staff presented the Commission with the finalized Annual Budget. John Dietz questioned <br /> the purchased power expense and revenue parallels. Bryan responded, and went on to do an over <br /> view of the expense budget. James Tralle noted that he appreciates the budget time table process <br /> Staff has adopted, noting that it is more efficient. <br /> James Tralle moved to approve the Budget for 2001. John Dietz seconded the motion. <br /> Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 5.6 Review Location for proposed Water Tower and Well#7 <br /> Site Plans and time frames for Well #7 and a Water Storage facility were discussed, with <br /> special regards to the tower. Staff is requesting authorization to present the well and water tower <br /> location to the City Council and to secure the locations for these future facilities. Authorization is <br /> also requested to secure bids for the water tower to be awarded at the December 2000 Commission <br /> Meeting. Bryan Adams advised that soil borings have been completed, indicating Site 5 to be <br /> suitable. <br /> George Zabee moved to authorize Bryan Adams, General Manager to approach City <br /> Council for approval, to secure the location for these future facilities, and to secure bids for the <br /> water tower to be awarded at the December 2000 Commission Meeting. James Tralle seconded the <br /> motion.
