i <br /> Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities <br /> 322 King Avenue phone: 763.441.2020 <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 Fax:763.441.8099 <br /> June 5, 2003 <br /> To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> John Dietz <br /> Jerry Takle <br /> James Tralle <br /> From: Bryan C. Adams <br /> Subject: Customer List Policy <br /> We often get calls from marketing people asking for our customer list. Previously, this <br /> information was public information and we were required to provide our customer list. I <br /> believe in 2001, the Government data practice section of Minnesota Statutes was revised <br /> to reflect the electric utility customer lists are private data and no longer public <br /> information. <br /> As a housekeeping matter, we need to revise our Customer List Policy in our policy <br /> manual as follows. <br /> Current Policy: <br /> Customer lists are public information and the Utility is obligated to comply with <br /> requests for the lists. The charge for the list will be $20.00. <br /> Revise to the following: <br /> Municipal electric utility data are classified as private or nonpublic information <br /> under Minn. Stat. §13.685. Other municipal utility data are classified as public <br /> pursuant to the general presumption in Minn. Stat. §13.03, subd. 1. The Depart- <br /> ment of Administration (DOA) advised that if the city is supplying electric <br /> services (with or without the addition of other utility services) to a particular <br /> customer, the name and address of that customer are private data. However, if the <br /> city is supplying only water and sewer services to a particular customer, the name <br /> and address of that customer are public data. <br />
