~i <br />Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />November 5, 2008 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />John Dietz <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />From: Troy Adams <br />Subject: MMUA Safety Compliance Contract <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />At the October Utility Commission meeting, staff originally intended to propose that ERMU, <br />partnered with the City of Elk River, renew the safety contract with MMUA. However, it was <br />discovered at that time that the City of Elk River had been researching alternative safety program <br />providers. The Utility Commission directed staff to renew the contract contingent upon the <br />ability to change the contract at a later date if the City decided to pursue other options. <br />Through discussion with the City safety coordinator, the City was still researching their options <br />and planned to use MMUA's safety program through the 2008 calendar year. Staff discussed the <br />situation with MMUA. The contract was then paid by ERMU through the 2008 calendar year. <br />However, the year contract was not signed pending feedback from the City. <br />The City safety coordinator and ERMU staff have scheduled to meet with an alternative safety <br />program provider. (A report of the meeting shall be a verbal. discussion.) <br />
