Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Theresa Slominski—Finance and Office Manager <br /> John Dietz—Chair <br /> Al Nadeau—Vice Chair <br /> Daryl Thompson—Trustee <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> November 18, 2014 6.1b <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> We had 2,875 credit card payment transactions in October, compared to 2,730 in September. The <br /> fee for October should be $6,468.75. <br /> An update on the software conversion: <br /> • In a few weeks NISC will be onsite for the CC&B training related to our <br /> conversion. They will arrive late afternoon on Monday, December 1St and will be <br /> here through Friday morning, December 5th. Jennie has been working with them <br /> very closely to set up all of our rates in their system. As we have some rates that <br /> they have not worked with yet, there have been some additional programming <br /> costs. <br /> • Working with the City, the phone system decision has been made and we will be <br /> purchasing the Cisco product. NISC has already ordered the components they <br /> will need to implement our integration with this new phone system and the billing <br /> system. We are right down to the wire for making a decision and having enough <br /> time to install the product and test it before going live in February. <br /> We conducted interviews for the new Accountant position the last week in October and <br /> subsequently offered the position to Jenny Biorn. She accepted and will be starting with us on <br /> December 1St. We are very excited to have her join our team. <br /> To update on the PCAs, we received another credit of$64,269 in October 2014. Through <br /> October's bill, the accumulated PCA total is $714,329. We charged 6 mils in May collecting <br /> $130,131, 6 mils in June collecting$131,188, 2 mils in July collecting$46,277, and 1 mil in <br /> August collecting$26,080. This leaves us the uncollected balance at$380,654. If we receive no <br /> other PCAs, we are below the $500,000 we established as the amount we were willing to absorb <br /> and would have 5 mils to potentially give back. We will continue to monitor this and provide the <br /> updated balances. <br /> ■,wal•►J [POWERED BY <br /> ■g5 Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public' <br /> Pnwrr Provider P O W E R E D T o S E R V E <br /> 129 <br />
