They are operated by local <br />governments as a public service with the mission of providing electricity in a reliable manner, at <br />a reasonable cost, and with proper protection of the environment. Public power companies <br />exist to serve our fellow citizens, friends, and neighbors. Elk River Municipal Utilities' loyalty is <br />to our customers and our community, not stockholders.

Every year we recognize <br />Public Power Week as a reminder of the responsibility we have to our consumer -owners. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Resolution 21-16 Recognizing 2021 Public Power Week <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />E <br />
