Motion carried 2-0. <br />5.1 Staff Un -dates <br />Bryan Adams reported work will start on the 4°i engine at the Landfill and the possibility of <br />updating the air permit for the LFG Generation facility in Elk River Municipal Utilities name <br />instead of Elk River Landfill to limit public confusion. Elk River Landfill is already updating the <br />landfill air permit. This will be looked into further before proceeding. CIP fund that was <br />approved last month for Sherburne County was presented to the Sherburne County Board. <br />Glenn Sundeen advised the Commissioners that the primary underground distribution in new <br />developments was discontinued the beginning of the month due to the extreme depth of the frost. <br />Secondary services will still be installed as needed. Next week crews will start tree trimming. <br />David Berg notified the Commission on the maintenance of the wells, the calibrating of the <br />irrigation meters, and future irrigation meters will be 1-1/2" turbo meters. 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 />
