An estimate had been calculated and the Chamber of Commerce was <br /> agreeable to pay the estimated amount. <br /> • As the current Chair of the Board of Directors for the Midwest Municipal Transmission <br /> Group (MMTG), the organization that fought for ERMU's right to own transmission, I <br /> am planning the agenda for their annual meeting. The annual meeting will be held in <br /> October or November at the MMUA offices in Plymouth, MN. <br /> • Over the past few years Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association(MMUA)and <br /> Minnesota Rural Electric Association(MREA) have put aside the difference of their <br /> memberships regarding electric service territory to combine efforts to do great things like <br /> training and joint activism. The two agencies have made the next steps in improving the <br /> relationships of their members by inviting representatives of each agency to each other's <br /> annual meetings. Jack Kegel, MMUA Executive Director, and Bill Black, MMUA <br /> Government Relations Director, were invited the 2014 MREA Rural Electric <br /> Management Association(REMA) CEO Fall Conference to make a presentation on <br /> Opportunities for partnerships among cooperatives and municipals. Jack Kegel was not <br /> able to attend. Because I am currently the highest ranking municipal manager in the <br /> state, Jack asked me to fill in for him in representing MMUA. There are numerous topics <br /> of interest on the agenda for the meeting including multiple involving electric service <br /> territory issues. I will provide an update at the time of the ERMU Commission meeting. <br /> 11 <br /> Page i of 1 'POWERED <br /> NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T O S E R V E <br /> 68 <br />
