UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO: FROM: <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Troy Adams, P.E. - Director of Operations <br />John Dietz, Chair <br />Jerry Gumphrey, Vice Chair <br />Daz 1 Thom son, Trustee <br />MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />July 13, 2010 5.2 <br />SUBJECT: <br />Territor Boundary Agreements <br />BACKGROUND: <br />In 2008 the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission began a project to verify Minnesota's <br />electric utility service area boundary maps. The purpose of this project was to clarify territory <br />boundaries. ERMU submitted the requested information in April, 2008. The results of the <br />project did not clarify the territory boundaries. Many utilities believing to be in agreement with <br />their neighboring utilities submitted different boundaries than their neighboring utilities. The <br />Minnesota Public Utilities Commission instructed many of the larger utilities to submit signed <br />agreements between their neighboring utilities to clarify the temtory boundary maps. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Both Connexus Energy and Xcel Energy have contacted Elk River Municipal Utilities to <br />formalize our boundaries and exception customers through agreements. Attached are the <br />agreements for your review. Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric has not yet contacted <br />ERMU about completing this project. <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Staff recommends the Commission authorize the execution of these agreements. <br />
