Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> ERMU Commission Theresa Slominski—Finance & Office Manager <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> July 11, 2017 6.1b <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> None <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • I participated in a webinar"Executive Address" from NISC, where they presented their <br /> in-house development of Cyber Security options. They basically have their own Cyber <br /> Security options for organizations that may not be able to find/fund certain resources all <br /> on their own. NISC has partnered with various third parties to bring the expertise to the <br /> customers they serve. We are very fortunate to have IT staff that has already embraced <br /> this need and so we are already ahead of many utility organizations. As we move <br /> forward with our own cyber security evaluations, however,this may be an additional <br /> resource consideration. <br /> • As a follow-up from the General Manager review last month, and the request to <br /> benchmark that position, I have been reviewing potential additional Executive <br /> Compensation options with our insurance brokers, as well as local independents. My <br /> plan is to have some options identified to present at the fall Wage and Benefits <br /> Committee meeting (when we review other benefits, insurance renewals and COLA.) <br /> • The last 2016 energy related report has been filed—the MN Utility report. The <br /> accounting staff was able to compile the information for this filing, giving them great <br /> exposure to the many intricacies of our industry. There were also a few salary survey <br /> requests that came through this past month. With these annual reports now filed, we <br /> move forward with budgeting for 2018. <br /> • In 2012, prior to our First National Bank issued credit cards, I had a company Capital <br /> One credit card. That account has now been closed and a check for $15.54 was received <br /> for accumulated points. An invoice was created, crediting Miscellaneous Expense, and <br /> the check was applied as payment. <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> 211 <br />
