any application materials, and recommended they direct any interested parties directly to <br />her to ensure that all applications are processed and treated equally. Attorney Beck <br />concurred. As the job posting, along with Ms. Englund's contact information, will be <br />posted on the ERMU website, it was noted this may be the best place to direct someone <br />for more information on how to apply for the position. <br />6.0 BUSINESS DISCUSSION <br />6.1 Staff Updates <br />As this was Mr. Adams final commission meeting, he took a moment to thank the commission <br />for supporting him throughout his journey at ERMU. He thanked his outstanding leadership <br />team and stated that he knew they would rise up and do awesome things. And finally, he <br />expressed his thanks to Chair Dietz for giving him a chance all those years ago and promoting <br />him to the General Manager. <br />Mr. Sagstetter provided an update on the Energy Conservation and Optimization (ECO) Act and <br />shared that it had passed on the House level. <br />Ms. Canterbury highlighted from her staff report that Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association <br />(MMUA) will be holding their Annual Summer Conference August 24-26 at Cragun's Resort in <br />Brainerd. As room reservations are highly recommend at this time, she reached out to the <br />commission to gauge who had an interest in attending. She noted that should MMUA need to <br />cancel the event due to COVID-19 restrictions, we would be refunded the room deposits. All <br />commission members expressed an interest in attending the conference and suggested staff <br />move forward with making the reservations. <br />On a personal note, Ms. Canterbury shared that Mr. Mauren, and his wife and son, recently <br />welcomed a baby girl into their family. The commission congratulated Mr. Mauren. <br />Mr. Ninow responded to a question that Commissioner Stewart had on the notice that Sprint <br />had given that they were terminating the tower attachment lease agreements for their <br />equipment located on our water towers; the termination of the lease agreements would result <br />in an approximate $130,000 annual loss. Attorney Beck noted that due to the renewal terms <br />and cancellation notification requirements, Sprint will be held to at least one more year of their <br />contractual obligations. <br />6.2 Future Planning <br />Chair Dietz announced the following: <br />a.
