Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities <br /> 13069 Orono Parkway phone: 763.441.2020 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 Fax 763.441.8099 <br /> September 1, 2004 <br /> To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> Jerry Takle <br /> James Tralle <br /> John Dietz <br /> From: Bryan Adams <br /> Subject: 2005 Proposed Capital Project <br /> Attached is the proposed 2005 Capital Budget for administration, electric and water <br /> department. We can discuss in detail at our meeting the specifics of each budget <br /> component. The attachments include the following: <br /> I) 10 year Capital Project Projections. <br /> 2) Detail of Water and Electronic Technologies Department Capital Projects. <br /> 3) Detail of Electric Department Capital Projects. <br /> 4) Time Table of Electric Department Substation, feeder and normal distribution <br /> construction. <br /> Because of our new administration facility, we have very few needs except for computer <br /> up-grades. <br /> We are also planning to install a 4th engine/generator at the landfill next year at an <br /> approximate cost of$600,000. The actual timing will be determined by Elk River <br /> Landfill when they are confident they have enough gas to support this additional engine. <br /> The large variable cost is securing the modifications to the air emissions permit. Our <br /> plan is to extend the existing contract (load agreement, gas purchase, 0 & M agreement, <br /> and power purchase) under the same terms and conditions. Because Sherburne County is <br /> providing the funding, there is little capital budgeting impact on Elk River Municipal <br /> Utilities. <br />
