<br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />At the October commission meeting, the Commission discussed a 3% revenue transfer <br />due, in part, to the expected ability to charge the city for water that was previously <br />donated. Staff have not been able to determine a consistent means of accurately <br />capturing the estimated $26,200 in water used by the city for firefighting, ice rinks, and <br />street sweeping. Consequently, staff recommend starting with a 2% revenue transfer. <br />4) ERMU shall begin charging the City of Elk River for all electricity for streetlights and <br />signal lights. These costs are currently donated. <br />5) ERMU shall continue donating water to the City of Elk River for use by: <br />a. The Elk River Fire Department (ERFD) for the purpose of extinguishing fires <br />within the City of Elk River and other cities under contract with the ERFD. <br />b. The Elk River Parks Department for the purpose of creating ice rinks for public/ <br />non-enterprise use. <br />c. The Elk River Streets Department for the purpose of street sweeping. <br />6) ERMU shall begin charging the City of Elk River for labor costs associated with specific <br />tasks when requested by the City. Examples include, but are not limited to, hanging <br />banners, maintenance of street lighting and warning sirens, re-lamping of signal lights <br />and city ball fields, installation of temporary lighting, locating of underground wires, <br />tree trimming, and dam maintenance. These costs are currently donated. <br />The projected net change in electric PILOT contribution is an increase of $154,365 ($434,365 <br />revenue transfer increase – $272,000 in electric charges – $8,000 in labor charges). For water, <br />the projected net increase is $61,680 ($63,000 revenue transfer - $1,320 in labor charges). <br /> <br />The attached redline PILOT policy reflects these changes. A clean policy is also attached. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• ERMU Policy - G.2a1 - Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) and Other Donations to the City <br />of Elk River (redlined copy) <br />• ERMU Policy G.2a1 - Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) and Other Donations to the City of <br />Elk River (clean copy) <br />83
