Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes July 13, 2021 Page 3 4.1 Annual Commission Performance Self-Evaluation Per Governance Policy G.2c Agenda Planning, and consistent with the 2021 Governance Agenda adopted by the Commission in 2020, the Commission is to conduct a self-evaluation of their own performance in the third quarter of each fiscal year.

The survey included 15 multiple choice and five open- ended questions regarding the Commission’s performance and what, if anything, they should be doing to be more effective.
