This has taken <br /> longer than anticipated due to work load and scheduling. Management has identified a <br /> number of updates to propose. Also,there have been a few changes in labor laws that <br /> need to be updated. <br /> • In addition to the Employee Handbook, staff has been working on developing a <br /> Governance Handbook that will include: governance principles, descriptions and roles of <br /> the Commission and individual Commissioner positions, and descriptions and roles of the <br /> current Committees. Potentially as soon as August,this manual will be presented to the <br /> Commission for input and direction. <br /> The intent for this handbook would be to include this with a Governance Manual which <br /> would also include information such as: By-Laws, Statutes and Ordinances regarding the <br /> authorities of the Utilities and Commission, an overview of the history of ERMU, an <br /> organizational chart for ERMU, Conflicts of Interest Policy, Data Practices information, <br /> Open Meeting law information, and an overview of the fiduciary responsibilities of the <br /> Commissioners. <br /> • In June I participated in the RFP review and selection process for the City's Mining Area <br /> Study with City staff. The Council has now awarded the project and I will be <br /> participating in a kick off meeting with the City later this month. <br /> • Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association(MMUA) will hold their next board meeting <br /> in conjunction with their Annual Summer Conference. The conference will be August <br /> 18-20 in Alexandria, MN.
