The fundamentals of this agreement were based on <br />2008 talks between Minnesota Rural Electric Association (MREA) and Minnesota Municipal <br />Utilities Association (MMUA). Staff is currently conducting a territory acquisition cost study <br />comparing this agreement with the 1991 territory acquisition agreement that has ended between <br />ERMU and Connexus. Connexus has been provided the Marshall /Lyon-Lincoln agreement for <br />review. <br />On May 14`h, Connexus arranged for me to take a tour of the new Great River Energy facility in <br />Maple Grove. This tour served as a vehicle for important and needed discussion of GRE's <br />vision, resource planning, and energy costs. One topic touched upon was local growth and <br />economic development. I am very encouraged by the general tone of discussion for potential <br />opportunities for ERMU. <br />The date for the Stale of the City/Annual Report has been rescheduled for the June 21 s' City Council <br />meeting. <br />Enclosed for your reading is the current issue of the MMUA Resource. <br />
