NOV-13-ZOOZ 04:31PM FROM-ERMU T$~-441-8099 T-51T P.003/004 F-992 Page 3 Regular meeting of' the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission November 12, 2002 5.5 Review & Consider Electric Rule Chan~es The current ERMU policy for residential electric service location requires the residential Meter to be located on the closest comer to the ER_MU source of power. The policy was intended to limit the length of the service wire, which would limit the potential for cable failure, ease of installation, and be cost effective. It was noted that many Utilities do not install service lines at all. Many of the larger homes feel the meter is unsightly, and desire equipment to be placed in the back of the house, requiting longer service lines. It is proposed that the builder receive the option of placing the electric meter on a meter post by the service pedestal. The builder, at his expense, can install the service panel anywhere they desire on the residence with the understanding that the buiIder/owner furnishes, installs, and maintains the service wire from the meter to the service panel. John Dietz moved to approve the revision to New Residential Service to read: Service entrance shall be located as follows: Closest comer to the ERMU source. ERMU furnishes, installs, and maintains secondary conductor. At service pedestal on meter post. Other furnishes, installs, and maintains secondary conductor from service pedestal. James Tralle seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. 5.6 Update Land Purchase for Future Well Bryan Adams updated the Council on the purchase of land for proposed Well #9. It is noted that the area is 2 ½ acres, which is the least area that can be purchased, because of sub- division rules. Staff responded to questions and comments from Commission. 6.1 Review & Consider Addition of Administrative Position Staff requested permission to begin advertising for the Administrative Position contained in the 2003 budget. George Zabee moved to approve the advertising for the Administrative Position. John Dietz seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0.
