The problem is that there are some loose parts, and the nuts and bolts are <br />deteriorating. Irby Utilities is helping to facilitate a resolution to this issue. The vendor <br />has 8 of the 12 in for repairs currently. We received the four that were fixed. <br />• We sent crews to assist Connexus and Moose Lake Utilities after the snowstorm on <br />December 15-16. ERMU had only one house outage due to the heavy ice and snow on <br />the line. <br />• ERMU, Elk River Fire, and the City of Elk River had an Emergency Preparedness tabletop <br />exercise. This meeting provided a great opportunity to walk through specific scenarios in <br />detail and highlight items that need to be thought of and acted upon during a major <br />storm event. <br />• 1 have finished moving into my office to the new field services building. <br />• ERMU staff started tree trimming on January 3. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />109 <br />
