Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Troy Adams, P.E. —General Manager <br /> John Dietz—Chair <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> April 8, 2014 6.1a <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Updates—General Manager <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • MMPA is looking to its members to extend their membership contract end date from <br /> 2040 to 2050. ERMU had already agreed to this when joining MMPA in 2013. In part, <br /> the reason for the extension is to improve the agency's positioning for issuing debt at a <br /> lower cost. I previously spoken at Le Sueur's council meeting. At the request of <br /> Chaska's City Administrator, I also spoke at the March 17`h Chaska city council meeting. <br /> • The MMUA Government Relations Committee has been meeting of a regular basis <br /> already this session. Many of the potentially problematic bills have been given attention. <br /> Bill Black, MMUA's Government Relations Director has done an excellent job keeping <br /> on top of issues and keeping the municipal managers informed. We would not be able to <br /> do as well of a job protecting our customer's interests without Bill and MMUA looking <br /> out for public power and water. <br /> • MMUA Winter Legislative Conference is coming up April 23-25. <br /> • City/Utilities managers help our annual employee appreciation breakfast. At this event <br /> the managers provide, cook, and serve breakfast to our employees. It was well attended <br /> again this year. <br /> rNATuPE1® Page 1 of 1 <br /> Reliable Public POWERED T o S E R V E <br /> Power ProWder <br /> 143 <br />
