Elk River -=~ <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />July 9, 2009 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />John Dietz <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />Daryl Thompson <br />From: Troy Adams <br />Subject: Review and Consider On-Call Policy <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />In follow up to changes made to Elk River Municipal Utilities' take-home vehicle practice and to <br />more clearly comply with Minnesota Statute 471.666, a revision to the ERMU On-Call Policy <br />was directed on May 12, 2009, by the Utilities Commission. The revisions to the policy would <br />identify the job positions that have various on-call requirements entailing take-home vehicle <br />needs, and would clarify the basis for and certain expectations related to on-call service. Per <br />direction of the Commission, this revision was reviewed and subsequently revised by Mark <br />Mathison of Gray Plant Mooty. <br />The proposed expanded and revised version of the ERMU handbook on-call policy is as follows: <br />Section 9. On-Call. <br />Regular Field Workers. <br />Required On-Call Rotation for Regular Field Workers. <br />Regular field, workers (including linepersons, water operators, and <br />other specifically trained field workers) are subject to a residency <br />rule. These same workers are also subject to required participation <br />in a scheduled on-call rotation. Apprentices may be excluded from <br />the on-call rotation for up to one year from their date of hire, per <br />management discretion. The on-call rotation is scheduled in one <br />(1) week blocks. <br />
