The problem is that there are some loose parts, and the nuts and bolts are <br />deteriorating. We received two fuse pads that had already been returned but had to <br />send one of them back again due to more issues. The vendor has three, we have the <br />other nine. Irby Utilities is helping to facilitate a resolution to this issue. <br /> <br />• ERMU staff has been discussing the open house for the new field services building, <br />happening on August 24. <br /> <br />• Staff is working through a lot of commercial services coming down the pipe. <br /> <br />• Working through maps for the new GIS mapping system that we plan to move forward <br />with in the near future. <br /> <br />• ERMU lineworkers attended a few of the Night to Unite block parties throughout the <br />City of Elk River on August 1. <br /> <br />• Staff is working on the 2024 budget. <br /> <br />• Attended Minnesota Municipal Power Association’s Annual Meeting in Buffalo, MN on <br />July 25. <br />97
