Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br /> TO: FROM: <br /> ERMU Commission Chris Kerzman — Engineering Manager <br /> MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br /> December 14, 2021 6.1k <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Staff Update <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> None <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> • The IT/OT Technician and I both attended Minnesota Rural Electric Association's IT <br /> Users Group, which was held virtually this year. There were sessions on outage tracking, <br /> broadband installations, and roundtable discussions. There was a lot of good <br /> information presented, and good discussion with cooperatives throughout the state. It is <br /> very comforting to hear other utilities are implementing cybersecurity solutions that <br /> City IT has had implemented for years. <br /> • I have been assisting the technical services department with a couple metering <br /> upgrades and substation projects. We still have a couple projects we would like to get <br /> done before the end of the year and are hoping the weather cooperates. <br /> • The IT/OT technician is working to help with some National Information Solutions <br /> Cooperative troubleshooting, and we have had a couple phone issues at some of our <br /> remote sites. This has led to discussions around planning for future phone systems, and <br /> evaluation of phone vendors. <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> 156 <br />
