Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />ERMU Commission <br />Mark Hanson —General Manager <br />MEETING DATE: <br />AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />May 9, 2023 <br />6.1a <br />SUBJECT: <br />Staff Update <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />None <br />DISCUSSION: <br />• Tom Geiser and I attended American Public Power Association's (APPA) Engineering & <br />Operations conference last week, May 1-3, in Pasadena, CA. In addition to a great <br />conference filled with very informative breakout sessions, ERMU was recognized for having <br />achieved the Platinum designation in APPA's Reliable Public Provider (RP3) program. The <br />RP3 designation recognizes public power utilities that demonstrate proficiency in four key <br />disciplines: reliability, safety, workforce development, and system improvement. ERMU <br />joins 271 public utilities nationwide that hold the RP3 designation. <br />While the entire ERMU team deserves recognition for their role in receiving the RP3 <br />designation, Technical Services Superintendent Mike Tietz deserves special mention for <br />collecting, consolidating, and submitting the enormous amount of data needed to meet RP3 <br />requirements. A press release, attached, will be submitted to the Elk River Star News next <br />week. <br />:: PUBLIC PUBLIC PUBLIC <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />133 <br />
