Elk River Landfill is already updating the <br /> landfill air permit. This will be looked into further before proceeding.

Seven security systems <br /> were sold in December. <br /> 5.2 Review Electric Outage Report <br /> Bryan Adams reviewed the electric outage report for 2004. There were a few major <br /> accidents with vehicle versus pole that lead to extended outages,and more tree trimming needs to <br /> be done to avoid additional outages. The SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI,and ASAI ratios were <br /> reviewed. Overall the Elk River Municipal Utilities continue to do a great job from an electric <br /> reliability prospective. No action needed. <br />
