One of the bigger items for the Electric department is a garage expansion. Troy <br />Adams will be bringing more information on the project to the Commission at a later date. <br />John Dietz had a few questions on the Water department budget. There is money noted to <br />possibly tear down the Jackson Avenue Water Tower. The City of Elk River is fairly confident <br />they could get enough grant money to repaint the tower. If that is the case, the Utilities should <br />contribute as much money as it would take to tear it down. Troy Adams was directed to get a <br />new bid on how much it would cost to do that. <br />One of the biggest items on the Administration budget is new billing software as the <br />office has outgrown the current software. The Commission gave approval to move forward with <br />National Information Systems Cooperative (NISC) who has provided ERMU with the best <br />software options. <br />5.2 Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association Annual Summer Conference Update <br />Page 2 <br />Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />September 10, 2013 <br />14 <br />
