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 /> March 12, 2019 6.1b <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> None <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • Our auditors, Abdo, Eick, and Meyers (AEM), were here for audit fieldwork on February <br /> 28 and March 1. There were no audit adjustments proposed outside of expected <br /> pension related adjustments, and these were lower than anticipated. The final audit <br /> report will be presented at the April commission meeting. I am very grateful for the <br /> talented accounting staff we have, and for the organizational support of accounting <br /> processes throughout the company that contribute towards good accounting records, <br /> and, ultimately, a good audit. <br /> • The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports 860, 861, and 923 for 2018 have all <br /> been filed. These are federal reports that are required to be filed annually related to <br /> the output of our plant standby engines' and the Landfill engines' output and fuel <br /> sources; our system distribution numbers in MW, revenues, and meters served; wind <br /> and solar participation; and reliability numbers. <br /> • MISO (Midwest Independent System Operator) reporting will be due later this month. <br /> These reports are based on 2017 information for determining our transmission rebates <br /> we will receive as being a part owner of the transmission systems with MMTG (Midwest <br /> Municipal Transmission Group). <br /> • We are in the process of testing a revision to the presentation of the monthly bills to <br /> better segregate City versus ERMU services. This change also allows for a slight change <br /> to the color scheme and the pictorials (moving from graphs to snapshot information.) If <br /> all goes well,the changes will be able to be in place with the bills customers will receive <br /> in May. <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> 118 <br />
