Chair Dietz had a few questions for Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes April 9, 2019 Page 3
30
Mr. Berg and staff. Both responded. There was discussion on the debt obligations and the possibility of paying off some of the bonds before their maturity to allow for an earlier timeframe to bond for our field services building expansion. Chair Dietz suggested that we discuss this option further at a future meeting. Mr. Berg reached out to the Commission to see if they had any additional questions on the management letter or the annual financial report. Commissioner Stewart had some questions on the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements that were issued, in particular Statement No. 83 Certain Asset Retirement Obligations, and how those may have an impact on ERMU’s future financial statements. Mr. Berg responded. Moved by Commissioner Nadeau and seconded by Commissioner Stewart to receive and file the Financial Audit for the year ending December 31, 2018. Motion carried 5-0. 4.2
2018 Year End Reserve Balance Ms. Slominski presented the year-end electric reserve balance and calculations. Staff recommended that the unrestricted balance above the target level for the Electric Utility fund be designated toward electric service territory transfer costs, future capital infrastructure costs, and energy adjustment clause (EAC) to be capped at $500,000. Chair Dietz suggested the Financial Reserves and Investment Committee discuss the option of setting aside a portion of the reserves for the field services facility expansion project. There was discussion. Ms. Slominski presented the year-end water reserve balance and calculations. Staff recommended that the unrestricted balance above the target level for the Water Utility fund be designated for future capital infrastructure costs.

Moved by Commissioner Bell and seconded by Commissioner Nadeau that $500,000 of the unrestricted reserve balance for the Electric Utility fund be designated for the Energy Adjustment Clause (EAC), and the remaining amount be designated towards electric service territory transfer costs and future capital infrastructure costs; and the unrestricted reserve balance for the Water Utility fund be designated for future capital infrastructure costs.

2018 Utilities Performance Incentive Compensation Distribution Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes April 9, 2019 Page 4
31
Ms. Slominski presented the 2018 Utilities Performance Metrics and Incentive Compensation (UPMIC) score card on which the employees had successfully achieved all of the company performance metrics targets except for two: the Customer Satisfaction, and the Employee Turnover metrics. She shared that per the policy, qualifying employees would be eligible for a 1.70% distribution. Chair Dietz commented on the Customer Satisfaction metric that hadn’t been met and inquired if this was the one that we were having issues getting good feedback on. Mr. Adams responded that it was, and elaborated on the contributing factors. He also stated that if we can’t come up with a way to get useful feedback on this metric, the Commission may want to consider eliminating that sub-category from the UPMIC scorecard for next year. Mr. Adams stated that without question, we did not meet the metric due to being rated on things that were beyond our control. He also noted that the Commission has the authority to nullify the Customer Satisfaction metric from the 2018 score card which would change the distribution to 1.80%. There was discussion. Commissioner Bell stated that he would not be in favor of increasing the distribution to 1.80% because the standard that had been set had not been met, and it was his opinion that it should not be changed at this point. He stated that moving forward we could further evaluate this metric and whether it should be included. Moved by Commissioner Nadeau and seconded by Commissioner Stewart to award the Performance Metrics Incentive Compensation distribution of 1.80% to qualifying employees per the terms of the policy. Motion carried 3-2. Commissioner Bell and Chair Dietz opposed. 5.0 BUSINESS ACTION 5.1 Financial Report – February 2019 Ms. Slominski presented the February 2019 financial report as outlined in her memo. Chair Dietz had a few questions. Staff responded. Moved by Commissioner Stewart and seconded by Commissioner Westgaard to receive the February 2019 Financial Report. Motion carried 5-0. 6.0 BUSINESS DISCUSSION 6.1 Staff Updates Mr. Adams highlighted from his staff report that his annual performance evaluation will be conducted during a closed session at the May 14 Commission meeting. He shared that Ms. Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Meeting Minutes April 9, 2019 Page 5
32
Canterbury would be sending out an email invitation with the link to the 2019 Performance Evaluation sometime next week. Ms. Slominski had noted in her staff report that we are in the process of testing a revision to the presentation of the monthly bills to better separate City and ERMU services. Chair Dietz asked how that was coming along. Ms. Slominski responded that it’s still in the test mode with National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC.) Mr. Tietz had noted in his staff report that there were recently two incidents where ERMU customers that were fed from the Otsego substation experienced a service interruption due to some issues with the Great River Energy (GRE) transmission line. Commissioner Stewart inquired as to whether these outages have an impact on ERMU’s reliability statistics. Mr. Tietz explained that they are reportable and do affect our statistics. Mr. Tietz had also reported that there had been a 32% increase in the volume of locate tickets from the previous month. There was discussion. Prior to the Commission meeting a Special Commission meeting was held to conduct the Annual Commissioner Orientation. At the meeting, the Commission discussed their role in relation to the City Council and the way in which they interact with the City Council. They also discussed meeting jointly with the City Council at least once every three years. At the regular Commission meeting Attorney Beck reiterated the importance of good consistent communication between the Commission and the City Council. He noted that the relationship between the Utilities and the City is the best it’s been in a long time. He also shared some background on how it hadn’t always been that way. There was discussion. 6.2

Mr. Adams pointed out that although we are governed autonomously by the Commission, ERMU is still part of the City of Elk River’s city government. He stressed the importance of an alignment of goals and good communication between the Commission and City Council. There was discussion on how often the Commission should be meeting jointly with the City Council, and the timing of those meetings. As a joint meeting has not occurred in quite some time, and ERMU policy provides for a meeting at least once every three years, Commissioner Westgaard volunteered to coordinate a date for the joint meeting for some time this year or next. 3.0 ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Chair Dietz adjourned the special meeting of the Utilities Commission at 3:28 p.m. Minutes prepared by Michelle Canterbury. _______________________________ John J.

This is a company performance based program designed to incentivize employee commitment towards the company’s success. Divided into categories representing core values of the company and again into sub-categories that are quantifiable, this program is designed to track goals that require companywide support of the employees to continually achieve. When the employees work together as a team to achieve these goals, the company recognizes a corresponding increase in value to our customers. DISCUSSION: At close of the fiscal 2019 year, and completion of the audit, the final score card will be evaluated and presented to the Commission for awarding the related distribution in 2020. We will be tracking the progress of the company and the related score card quarterly throughout 2019. The first quarter scorecard is attached, with some notes for the first quarter results.

This transfer results in a service territory boundary change which needs to be filed with the MPUC. The terms negotiated in the service territory transfer agreement assign ERMU the authority to jointly file the request for MPUC to modify the electric service territory boundary. Connexus reviewed and approved that language. This filing was then made electronically. Docket No. E-234,101/SA-19-152 was considered and approved by the MPUC on April 11, 2019. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: Minnesota Public Utilities Commission Notice of Approval of the Elk River Municipal Utilities / Connexus Energy Joint Request for Modification of the Parties’ Electric Service Territory Boundary – April 11, 2019.

Auburn Tower Is Getting All Gussied Up
T
his summer, Auburn Tower (east of Hwy. 169, north of 193rd avenue) will be getting resurfaced. It will be sandblasted and receive several coats of paint to make it all shiny and new! So if you notice a large drape hanging, pay no attention to the tower behind the curtain. It’s going in for a fresh makeover! This helps to maintain the integrity of the structure and adds longevity to its operational life.
