Communications <br />staff also employed a fun/eye catching image to make sure the insert stands out! <br />• In addition to the bill insert topic, social media posts this month feature the commission <br />meeting notice, National Electrical Safety Month, Drinking Water Week, the American <br />Public Power Association’s Certificate of Excellence in Reliability, and more. <br />• In partnership with the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association, ERMU hosted a free <br />OSHA-approved training session on Chemical Hazards and Hazard Communication on <br />April 29 at the field services building. Members of city maintenance staff attended. <br />• As part of ERMU’s ongoing education initiative, National Energy Foundation visited 4th- <br />grade students in our service territory from April 29 to May 1. This initiative, introduced <br />successfully in 2024, includes energy conservation presentations at Twin Lakes, Lincoln, <br />Parker, and Meadowvale Elementary Schools. Each student also receives an energy <br />saving kit to take home and teach their family what they have learned; Program picture <br />below. <br /> <br />107
