Customers with multiple load <br /> management programs have also been calling regarding the sunset date for the dual fuel <br /> and storage programs. Staff has determined potential transition options for all programs <br /> and is currently working on the feasibility of those options. <br /> • Working to get the level two charging station installed in the HRA parking lot downtown. <br /> The level two charger should be installed in the next few weeks. After the installation <br /> ChargePoint will begin marketing to their network of customers and ERMU will develop <br /> marketing materials for a local grand opening. The site for DC Fast Charger is <br /> progressing slowly. The proposed area has a complex mix of easements and ownership <br /> that needs to be addressed prior to the redevelopment of the area. There is infrastructure <br /> that possibly needs to be relocated to allow this land to be developed. Until the final plans <br /> are determined for the area it's difficult to plan for the relocation of existing facilities and <br /> the placement of new facilities to serve Ralphie's and the DC Fast Charger. <br /> • The intern Jonas Scholz from University of Applied Sciences Muenster(Fachhochschule <br /> Muenster) arrived on May 1. He is settling in well and will be working with utility and <br /> city staff in the areas of: energy and water efficiency; waste water; and trash and <br /> recycling. He will also have exposure to landfill and surface water regulations. Towards <br /> the end of his stay, he will work on educational programs with area schools. <br /> • Provided tours to North Hennepin Community College of Great River Energy, the Elk <br /> River Landfill, and the Elk River Library. <br /> • Commercial rebate and new account activity has very high this month with large rebates <br /> going out to customers for lighting and heating and cooling rooftop units. <br /> • Worked with Elk River Landfill to install a new electric service for the leachate pumping <br /> facility located at the West Substation. Despite a few challenges, the field services did a <br /> great job at getting the work done. <br /> • Continue to work with legal services on the Wright Hennepin territory swap. <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> 151 <br />
