Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />August 4, 2008 <br /> <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />John Dietz <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: 2009 Budget Process <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />Staff has started the process of assembling the year 2009 budgeting process. The proposed <br />schedule for the budgeting process is as follows. <br />August Meeting: Travel & Training <br />10 Year Personnel Projections <br />CIP Budget <br />September Meeting: 10 Year Capital Projections <br />Year 2008 Capital Projections <br />October Meeting: Projected Purchased Power Costs <br />Projected Sales Revenues <br />Projected Expenses <br />November Meeting: Completed Budget with Rate Analysis <br />December Meeting: Adopt Budget with Rate changes, if any <br />Enclosed is the proposed Travel & Training, 10 Year Personnel Projections for your review. <br />The travel and training budget reflects a modest $2600 increase. We are anticipating one <br />retirement in the summer of 2009 that will result in a lineperson position that we are proposing to <br />leave vacant. There are no other increases in the personnel requested in 2009, and we may have <br />difficulty keeping some operational staff completely productive this winter. The CIP budget <br />reflects a total expenditure of approximately $262,000 of which we contribute $129,380 and <br />GRE contributes $132,250. <br />
