��i <br />Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />ERMU Commission <br />Melissa Karpinski — Finance Manager <br />MEETING DATE: <br />AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />April 11, 2023 <br />4.3 <br />SUBJECT: <br />2022 Utilities Performance Incentive Compensation Distribution <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Award the Performance Metrics and Compensation Distribution of 2.0% to qualifying <br />employees per the terms of the policy. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Commission adopted a Performance Metrics program in December 2012, for <br />implementation January 1, 2013, and revised January 14, 2020. This program was based on the <br />American Public Power Association's Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3) program with the <br />addition of financial goals. As defined by policy, this company performance based program is <br />designed to incentivize employee commitment towards the company's success. "The successful <br />performance of ERMU is measured in terms of the Utilities' ability to meet our strategic goals <br />and mission. By improving our efficiency and level of performance in meeting our strategic goals <br />and mission we can improve the delivery of value to our customers." Divided into categories <br />representing core values of the company and again into sub -categories that are quantifiable, <br />this program is designed to track goals that require the companywide support of employees to <br />continually achieve. When the employees work together as a team to achieve these goals, the <br />company recognizes a corresponding increase in value to our customers. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />The performance metrics were monitored and provided as updates to the employees and <br />Commission on a quarterly basis throughout the year. The program works exactly as intended <br />as we witness employee motivation and efforts align to improve company performance for <br />deficient criteria. Attached are the finalized results of the score card on which the employees <br />have successfully achieved all the company performance metrics targets. Per the policy, a <br />multiplier of 100% would be used and qualifying employees would be eligible for a 2.0% <br />distribution. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />Budgeted item. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• ERMU Policy — G.4g1— Performance Metrics and Incentive Compensation <br />• ERMU Performance Metrics and Incentive Compensation Policy Score Card - 2022 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />153 <br />
