i <br /> 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 /> April 14, 2015 6.1b <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> Troy Adams, Jennie Nelson, and I travelled to Mandan,ND and met with the management at <br /> NISC to bring forth our concerns with the software working properly in a multi-service arena, <br /> and recruiting future municipalities with the same needs. We met with the President, the Vice <br /> President of Utility and Shared Services,the Accounting Team Lead,the Customer Billing Team <br /> Lead, the Customer Billing Implementation Manager, a Production Manager, and two <br /> individuals that were present via conferencing(a Sales Representative and a Production <br /> Manager). We were encouraged by their desire to listen and their feedback on their commitment <br /> to respond to our concerns, not only to meet our immediate needs but also so they are better <br /> positioned to meet the needs of multi-service municipals in the future. They are planning an on- <br /> site meeting here in May for working with Service Orders and have also offered to have an <br /> accounting individual here to work with interfund transfers. The true test will be in the follow-up <br /> that occurs to see if their actions match their words. <br /> There were a large number of applications received for the CSR position we advertised for; <br /> interviews will be scheduled soon. There were over 30 applications received for the Purchasing <br /> Specialist and we will be scheduling interviews for the week of April 20th. <br /> We received a notice from the State Pay Equity office and they are requesting some additional <br /> information regarding our new job positions and changed job positions since 2012. This needs to <br /> be provided by April 24th, at which time they will review it before issuing a compliance ruling. <br /> If you recall, they requested similar information when we filed last time, so I'm hopeful this is <br /> just a formality and not a cause for concern. <br /> There are some reports due to the Department of Energy in the next few months and with the <br /> audit complete, that will be the focus. <br /> POWERED DY <br /> Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T o S F R Y E <br /> 142 <br />
