Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />November 12, 2009 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities commission <br />John Dietz <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />Daryl Thompson <br />From: Theresa Slominski <br />Re: Staff Update -Office <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />Water accounts with split allocation <br />Per commission request, an analysis is provided regarding the accounts that are impacted <br />by a sharing of costs between the water and electric funds. <br />A calculation is provided showing the 25% water and 75% electric allocation <br />determination. It is based on Full Time Equivalents (FTE). The calculation identifies the <br />percent of time spent on water duties, the number of employees affected, and then <br />determines a final FTE. The percent of time spent on water duties for the office was <br />determined by applying the number of water meters compared to total meters. This <br />seemed the most logical for applying time spent on customer service calls, billing, and <br />meter reading. All other employees' percent of time was verified by looking through <br />actual time cards. <br />A listing is provided of the various water accounts affected by a split allocation and what <br />the allocation is, as well as other items being posted to the account aside from the <br />allocation. As you can see, the majority of accounts affected by the 25% water allocation <br />are the administrative and general accounts. <br />
