5.2 2022 Fourth Quarter Delinquent Items <br /> <br /> Ms. Karpinski presented the 2022 Fourth Quarter Delinquent items, explaining that <br />assessments are lower than prior year and commended the customer service staff for their <br />work on keeping customers current. She added that the increase to write offs was mainly due <br />to accounts reaching the six-year limit on the Revenue Recapture program. <br /> <br /> Chair Dietz asked if the amounts shown have had the deposit deducted. Staff confirmed that <br />they had. <br /> <br /> Chair Dietz asked if staff would consider increasing the deposit on apartments. <br /> <br /> Ms. Youngs responded that would be a Commission decision. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hanson suggested waiting to look at increasing deposits as the amounts are likely tied to <br />the unusual circumstances of a shut-off moratorium during the COVID-19 pandemic. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Westgaard stated that he shared Mr. Hanson’s perspective. <br /> <br /> There was discussion about the Revenue Recapture program. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Westgaard and seconded by Commissioner Stewart to approve <br />the 2022 fourth quarter delinquent items submitted. Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />5.3 Strategic Plan and 2022 Annual Business Plan Results <br /> <br /> Mr. Hanson presented his memo on the Strategic Plan for the Utilities explaining it is <br />structured around ERMU’s guiding principles. Mr. Hanson then provided background on how <br />the planning process leads to the creation of the dashboard of projects that staff pursues for <br />the year. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hanson also sought Commission feedback as to whether this presentation of highlights <br />from the dashboard served the needs of the Commission. <br /> <br /> Staff then presented their items from the Highlights, Challenges, and Results from the 2022 <br />Strategic Plan Initiatives attachment. <br /> <br /> Regarding Ms. Youngs’ presentation of the live chat feature, Commissioner Stewart asked if <br />the service would be available outside of normal businesses hours. Ms. Youngs responded <br />that the feature would not. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hanson then presented the business plan and asked the Commission if they felt they are <br />receiving the information they need to govern effectively. <br /> <br />53
