There was discussion about future plans for the building and the engines within. Mr. Hanson <br />explained that he would look to work with an architect to create a high-level cost estimate to <br />make the space usable for other administrative functions which will be presented to the <br />Commission at a future meeting. Mr. Hanson shared the engines could likely be sold. <br />5.4 Advanced Metering Infrastructure Update <br />Mr. Tietz presented his memo adding that Allegiant Utility Services, the company <br />performing electric and water meter installations, forecasted a four -and -a -half -month <br />completion timeline, though Mr. Tietz added his opinion that it would likely take a little <br />longer. <br />Chair Dietz asked if Archer Plumbing was doing all the commercial water meter <br />replacements. <br />Mr. Tietz responded that Allegiant was changing the small commercial water meters and <br />Archer would do the larger commercial meter change outs. <br />Chair Dietz asked how often ERMU staff must perform a meter exchange that Allegiant is <br />unable to do. <br />Mr. Tietz responded that it has been a rare occurrence. <br />Regarding the delay in receiving the latest shipment of electric meters, Chair Dietz asked if <br />any of the available meters had been installed. Staff responded that around 1,400 electric <br />meters had been installed by ERMU staff. <br />Chair Detz asked staff if they expect there to be electric meter supply issues throughout <br />the project. <br />Mr. Tietz responded there are signs of improvements, but the issues are seeming to <br />continue. <br />There was discussion about the installation process. <br />6.0 BUSINESS DISCUSSION <br />6.1 Staff Updates <br />Mr. Hanson informed the Commission there would be an update on the settlement with RJM <br />Construction for the closeout of the field services building project at a future meeting. <br />The Commission chose to host a Staff Appreciation Lunch at the field services building on <br />October 8. <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes <br />September 10, 2024 <br />Page 4 <br />
