As you may recall, we had discussion these lights <br /> with the Commission a few months ago and had been given the consensus to work with <br /> the City of Otsego to negotiate an asset transfer to ERMU and then manage their city <br /> lights within the ERMU service territory.

Once this agreement is drafted, I will bring <br /> this back to the Commission for review. <br /> • I have a Midwest Municipal Transmission Group (MMTG)board meeting scheduled for <br /> April 27.
