We have been <br />working with the city to clarify routing concerns with the State of Minnesota right of <br />way. We expect the contractor should mobilize overhead crews in the next few weeks <br />and install fiber into the conduit. <br />• We continue to work on the planning and design of the future East substation, which <br />will be needed to support development in the southeast portion of our service territory. <br />• Work continues on mapping verifications, and locators are adding GPS information for <br />water curb stops into the database. Winter mapping review and verifications are going <br />well. <br />• Staff opened bids for substation feeder reclosers on April 2. <br />• We plan to schedule an Information Security Committee meeting within the next two <br />months and will reach out with specific dates. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />102 <br />
