Page 7 <br />Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />April 17, 2008 <br />PCA in greater detail and stated that he received a phone call from GRE earlier this week and the <br />original PCA for April was projected to be around $220,000, but is now projected to be closer to <br />$80,000. This is good news but a PCA charge will most likely continue into the next few months. <br />We will continue to monitor this and keep you updated. <br />Other Business <br />John Dietz thanked the utilities for the donated electricity for the library and questioned whether <br />we record the contribution at our cost or retail cost. Staff responded that it is the retail cost to cover <br />the overhead associated with the power usage, just as with our other customers. John Dietz also <br />stated that he was erecting a flag pole memorial at the library and was told that the utilities will <br />assist in the installation. <br />John Dietz had a copy of the recent "Connector" article from the local paper and was wondering if <br />it could be placed in the city's newsletter and on the websites of both the Utility and the City. Staff <br />responded that the newsletter is already too full to include our large Connector articles but that <br />certainly the websites could be utilized to host this information as well. <br />Bryan Adams stated that we have moved forward with getting a return on our investment in <br />transmission equity of approximately $65,000 per year with MISO. He presented an agreement <br />that turns over operational control to MISO through CMMPA and requested authority for himself <br />and Jerry Takle to execute the contract pursuant to meeting with GRE to ensure that there is no <br />conflict of interest. He stated that by turning over operational control, it is agreeing to take load <br />off of our system at MISO's direction, should the need arise. <br />John Dietz moved to accept the agreement and authorize Jerry Takle and Bryan Adams to execute <br />the agreement after meeting with GRE. Jerry Gumphrey seconded the motion. Motion carried 3- <br />0. <br />The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission will be <br />Tuesday, May 13, 2008. <br />President Jerry Takle adjourned the regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities <br />Commission at 5:55 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />"4Q ' <br />(Jeresa S1 inski <br />i ance Direct�ce anager <br />B A s <br />G eral Manager <br />
