Page 3 <br />Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />January 10, 2006 <br />6.3 Review & Consider New Position <br />The personnel projection of the 2006 budget reflects the addition of a supervisor for the <br />metering, security, locator, and CAD operator areas. Discussion followed regarding the need <br />for this department head instead of continuing to utilize the existing department heads. John <br />Dietz would like the Commission involved in the final interviewing process. <br />John Dietz moved to approve the search for hiring a "Supervisor of Engineering Services" <br />Jerry Takle seconded the motion. Motion carried 2-0. <br />6.4 Review & Consider 2005 Write -Offs <br />A list of the 2005 write-offs was reviewed. John Dietz asked about the possibility of <br />filing the water write-offs with the County for assessments. Yearly the City files with the <br />County the unpaid garbage fees that are assessed on taxes, and they do not pay a fee. Staff <br />will look into any filing fees associated with this and proceed. Staff will also verify that <br />conciliation court is being utilized for one customer with a $7000 debt. <br />John Dietz moved to approve the 2005 write-offs. Jerry Takle seconded the motion. Motion <br />carried 2-0. <br />6.5 Review Proposed Annual Report to City Council <br />The annual report to City Council was reviewed. The City desired a more condensed <br />version of the report. Commissioners liked the condensed version. <br />Other Business <br />John Dietz asked that in the future when ordering machines such as in the recent case of the <br />chipper, we consider sharing the equipment. He would like to schedule a meeting with both <br />department heads (City and Utility) when large equipment purchases are proposed to discuss <br />the possibility of sharing this equipment. <br />The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />will be Tuesday, February 14, 2006. <br />President Jerry Takle adjourned the regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities <br />Commission at 5:05 p.m. <br />ectfully submitted, <br />o <br />Judy McSpadde <br />Recording Clerk <br />
