Page 6 Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission April 14, 2009 tomorrow. John Dietz said it appears as if future territory acquisition would not be possible if we contract with Connexus for wholesale power. John Dietz asked Commissioners to review the draft from Troy Adams regarding the sharing of the Public Works Director with the City of Elk River, so corrections can be made if any, and a final copy can be sent to the City Council for approval. David Berg informed Commission that some communities allow private wells for irrigation purposes. John Dietz confirmed this would affect the aquifer and the wellhead protection program. Discussion followed regarding the ordinance and the importance of implementing the"Smart" Irrigation system. Vance Zehringer reported on the new rate comparisons. Vance also informed Commission that his term as Interim General Manager is almost over,he appreciated the opportunity, and the staff at ERMU is a good group of people. Commission thanked him for his service. Theresa Slominski demonstrated a new type of reusable green envelope that is being considered to replace the two envelopes we now use for sending out the monthly bills.
