Page 3 <br /> Regular meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> November 12, 2002 <br /> 5.5 Review & Consider Electric Rule Changes <br /> The current ERMU policy for residential electric service location requires the residential <br /> Meter to be located on the closest corner to the ERMU source of power. The policy was <br /> intended to limit the length of the service wire, which would limit the potential for cable <br /> failure, ease of installation, and be cost effective. It was noted that many Utilities do not <br /> install service lines at all. Many of the larger homes feel the meter is unsightly, and desire <br /> equipment to be placed in the back of the house, requiring longer service lines. It is proposed <br /> that the builder receive the option of placing the electric meter on a meter post by the service <br /> pedestal. The builder, at his expense, can install the service panel anywhere they desire on <br /> the residence with the understanding that the builder/owner furnishes, installs, and maintains <br /> the service wire from the meter to the service panel. <br /> John Dietz moved to approve the revision to New Residential Service to read: <br /> Service entrance shall be located as follows: <br /> Closest corner to the ERMU source. ERMU furnishes, installs, and maintains <br /> secondary conductor. <br /> At service pedestal on meter post. Other furnishes, installs, and maintains <br /> secondary conductor from service pedestal. <br /> James Tralle seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 5.6 Update Land Purchase for Future Well <br /> Bryan Adams updated the Council on the purchase of land for proposed Well#9. It is <br /> noted that the area is 2 1/2 acres, which is the least area that can be purchased,because of sub- <br /> division rules. Staff responded to questions and comments from Commission. <br /> 6.1 Review & Consider Addition of Administrative Position <br /> Staff requested permission to begin advertising for the Administrative Position contained <br /> in the 2003 budget. <br /> George Zabee moved to approve the advertising for the Administrative Position. <br /> John Dietz seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br />
