Both Commissioner Mary Stewart and I were in attendance.Their final <br />2021 rates will be determined at the December 22 board meeting. <br /> <br />Continuing with changes as we prepare for Mark Fuchs retirement this December, we <br />promoted Scott Thoreson to the Line Crew Foreperson position effective Tuesday, <br />December 2. The Lead Lineworker posting is open through Friday, December 4. This will <br />likely result in a lineworker position to fill externally. We will continue to update you as <br />this transitioning occurs. <br /> <br />Staff is still working on the dashboard initiative to build a substation east ofHighway <br />169 along Highway 10 by 2025. <br /> <br />November was the last month for our consulting agreement with former general <br />manager Troy Adams. One of the items he was working on was finalizing some policies. I <br />will review those and likely present them in January. <br /> <br />I am working with HRExpertiseBP consultant, Debra Englund, to implement a leadership <br />training program inhouse, specific to our next level of leaders to be developed, per the <br />Organizational Effectiveness Survey initiative. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />149 <br />
