~j Elk River Municipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 Elk River, MN 55330-0430 February 4, 2010 To: Elk River Municipal Utilities commission John Dietz Jerry Gumphrey Daryl Thompson From: Theresa Slominski Subject: 2009 Inventory Phone: 763.441.2020 Fax: 763.441.8099 At the February 2009 commission meeting, the final draft policy for inventory was approved. Throughout the rest of 2009, cycle counts were performed and ayear-end count was performed involving all field staff for the electric, water, and security departments. Throughout the year, everyone stepped up to take ownership of a successful inventory accounting. Mike Thiry and Chris King made improvements in the organization of the storage and shelving area of the electric inventory, and identified different ways to accurately measure the wire inventory. Steve Ziemer fabricated additional storage units and carts to help with reorganizing and maintaining the inventory. Pete Nielson improved the organization of the storage and shelving area of the water inventory. Lorrie Franz and Judy McSpadden worked together to coordinate the preparation of, the reporting and reconciling of, and the actual physical inventory counts. All staff worked hard to provide timely, accurate submission of inventory sheets for updating purposes, and were key participants of the actual physical inventory counts. I have provided a Year over Year Inventory Summary and Comparison that provides a great synopsis of the improvements that have been made and associates them with a percentage benchmark for each year. We have moved from a .55° o shortage/overage range to .04%. This success has definitely been a team effort and could not have been achieved without everyone's cooperation and participation.
