Regular Meeting
November 30,2005
Members present: President Craig Lenz; Vice President Donald Walser; Secretary
David Wetterling; Commissioner Paul Ackland; Commissioner Steven Cook; General
Manager Michael Kumm; Attorney Marc Sebora.
President Lenz called the meeting to order at 3:00 pm.
Commissioner Ackland made a motion to approve the minutes of the October 26, 2005
Regular Meeting with a change to Old Business: Commissioner Cook asked if the
energy conservation fund will make a payment for underground conversions as it has
done in the past. That will not be a part of the CIP program for 2006. There's about
$100,000 in that fund that will be applied to rate classes in general. Commissioner Cook
seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Commissioner Ackland questioned the payment to Department of Commerce for Direct
Charges. Mike will talk with Attorney Gary Van Cleve as it relates to the appeal that is in
process.
Commissioner Ackland asked about the payment for college courses. We have a policy
in place that states the Commission will provide financial assistance for successful
completion of qualifying programs and courses. Courses must be job related for career
advancement with the Utilities.
Secretary Wetterling asked about the payment to Tom Mahoney. This payment is for
services regarding the pipeline.
Commissioner Cook asked if the Accounts Payable list could be put in check number
order. Commissioner Walser informed the board that the bills are already sorted by the
greatest amount to the least amount at Commission request previously.
Secretary Wetterling made a motion to ratify the payment of bills in the amount of
$2,690,951.17 (detailed listing in payable book). Vice-President Walser seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously.
Manager Kumm explained two new forms that will be included in the monthly packets
each month. The Electric and Gas Income Statement will show the monthly
percentages, as well as the year-to-date percentages, of the gross margin and profit
margin on the cost of goods sold, operating income, and net income per revenue dollar.
It will also show the year-to-date operating revenue, non-operating revenue, cost of
goods sold, operating income, and net income.
Commissioner Cook asked if this information could be an added column to the cash
flow statement showing the target ratios. Manager Kumm will include this in the cash
flow statement each month.
Manager Kumm explained that last month was the first time we read all the city's meters
and with the change in the cycle to reading all the meters, the income statement looks
disproportionate. This is a one-time change but it did cause an impact; however it had
no bearing on the cash flow.
The future expansion & development account is money that is reserved for the
condemnation hearings. We'll know sometime in December as to the award in the
appeals case.
Commission President Lenz asked if it would be possible to set up a wire transfer for
the New Ulm Transportation payment. John Webster will check into it.
Commissioner Cook questioned some line items in the financials. One was the
unemployment expense and the other was water/waste disposal. Manager Kumm
explained that the unemployment expense was something HUC found out half way
through the year. In addition he explained the water/waste disposal expense budgeted
amount is with respect to generation.
Commissioner Ackland made a motion to approve the financial statement and budget
year to date. Vice-President Walser seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Sarah Young was welcomed to the meeting. She gave a presentation on 5-Sort
Recycling program with McLeod County Solid Waste Management. She asked if we
could insert the 1-page flier with our monthly bills in January. They would cover the
costs of folding and sending the fliers to UIS (our out-sourcing agent) for stuffing in the
January billing. We have a policy in place prohibiting any material that does not apply
directly to HUC business. After discussion the commissioner's agreed that this is a great
thing for the residents as well as the whole county, and believed the policy could be
waived in this circumstance because it is a local government making the request.
Commissioner Cook made a motion to approve the request from Sarah Young to insert
5-sort recycling stuffers in January utility bills. Commissoner Ackland seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously.
R W Beck gave a presentation on the Cost of Service Study. Vice-President Walser
commended them for the thorough presentation. and thought out though complex,
model that was applied. Change made :added 'presentation' and deleted rest of sentence
see December 28, 2005 minutes.
President Lenz was uncomfortable with the report. He would like to see a rate
comparison on an annual basis with additional companies and use more than just one
month. He was disappointed in the time of the final presentation since this has been on
going since August of 2005. He felt it unacceptable especially since we got updated
sections the same day as the meeting. This study is expensive and the delivery of the
presentation was not what he had expected.
Commissioner Ackland expressed his concern on the amount of material that there is to
absorb. He'd like to meet with Manager Kumm and go over some questions that he has.
There is no recommendation at this time. Commissioner Cook made a motion for a
special meeting to be held on December 12, 2005 at 3:00 pm at the Event Center, with
the joint meeting with City Council members to follow at 4:30 pm. Vice-President Walser
seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Commissioner Cook thanked R W Beck for their presentation; being able to see a
breakdown of allocations; and for a formula that the utilities can use in on going studies.
R W Beck apologized for the timing of the presentation and that Dave Berg would be at
the joint meeting for future discussion.
If the attorney's Dustin Cross or Reed Glawe have the award from the condemnation
hearings by December 1 ih, we will have a closed meeting for discussion.
Commissioner Cook made a motion to have a closed meeting after the special meeting
on December 12, 2005, to discuss condemnation hearings at the event center. Vice
President Walser seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Manager Kumm presented the 2006 budget for discussion. The budget is based on R W
Beck's forecast. A rate change was not used in the budget, but it does show that a rate
change is needed. We would need approval at the end of the month.
Commissioner Cook liked the format and felt the information contained in it was very
useful.
Jan Sifferath explained the medical and dental insurance policy changes. The dental
plan now has a $750 maximum which can be increased to $1,000 maximum at a 2.6%
increase, which equates to $1.03 a month more for single and $1.92 a month more for
family.
The health plan would be a health-preventative change only. We presently have a $250
maximum on preventative care. We would change that to one physical exam covered at
100% and anything over that would be 80/20 split, with the HUC paying 80% and
employees paying 20%. With the change in policy there will be a 16.3% increase. If we
left the plan as it is with no change, there would still be a need for an increase of 15.5%.
Union employees would have to vote on this change. If they vote against it, staff would
have their own plan. Jan's recommendation is to have two plans: one for staff and one
for union employees. The plans would not be hard to administer and this is also Berkley
Risk' recommendation.
This would not be a change to the union contract, which expires in the summer of 2007,
just a policy change.
This increase has been factored into the 2006 budget proposal.
Commissioner Ackland made a motion to accept Jan Sifferath's recommendation to
increase the health plan by 16.3%, increase the dental plan by 2.6% and to administer
two plans if needed: one for union employees, and one for staff employees in the event
that the union votes down the change. Commissioner Cook seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
Commissioner Ackland reported on the committee meeting regarding the contribution to
the City of Hutchinson. The recommendation is to provide up to a 5% increase, where
3% of the requested amount will be provided on January 1, 2006, followed by an
additional 2% in October 2006. The 2% is contingent upon a formula being put in place
in June and also the financial well being of HUC in October. A committee will be
assigned by the Commission President to develop a formula to be adopted by June of
2006 at which time it will come to the Commission for approval.
Commissioner Ackland made a motion to offer 3% by January 2006; President to
appoint committee to adopt a formula and in October of 2006 additional 2%.
Commissioner Cook seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Division Reports:

Requisition #1568 for $11,994.34 for City of Hutchinson for 2005 Lawn Care
Services. This is a once a year bill. Motion made by Vice President Walser to
approve Requisition #1568 in the amount of $11,994.34 to City of Hutchinson for
Lawn Care Services. Secretary Wetterling seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Insurance Planners do not have the renewal policies ready - will be on the
December agenda.
We received many thank-you cards, notes, pictures from the second graders who
received the Halloween treats we presented to their classes in October.
Teri Hofmeister and Jen Tramp in the Customer Service Department came up
with an idea of doing a drawing for turkey if residents of Hutchinson bring in a
non-perishable food item for the McLeod County Food Shelf. Will advertise this in
the Hutchinson Leader as well as a small note on the December Utility bill.
Gas - John Webster
Dustin Cross was hoping the award would be in by Thanksgiving from the
appeals process. There's a rumored possibility that we might have it by the end
of this week. Will contact HUC Commissioners after we meet with the attorneys
and the condemnation commissioners.
Next week we will be sending out HUC calendars and natural gas safety facts to
owners on the pipeline and their public officials. Ryan Ellenson on the gas
department has developed a very good credibility relationship with the
landowners on the pipeline.
Discussion was held regarding the joint Christmas Party on December 16, 2005. The
Commissioners agreed to pay employees and guest fees to attend. Concerns were
raised regarding the laws on gifts to employees. Commissioner Walser advised this
issue was addressed when the recognition banquet commenced.
Manager Kumm met with McLeod Coop. It was a fact-finding meeting regarding future
annexations. From the initial meeting they were very forthright with information.
The election of officers for HUC will be in January. Commissioner Cook reported that
City Council will be proposing Commissioner Ackland's replacement as his term will
expire in December.

Commissioner Ackland inquired about the payment for Who's Who Director's
from last month's payables. Jan Sifferath explained it was for an autobiography
of herself and membership into the Manchester Who's Who Directories of
Executives and Professionals. HUC opted to not buy the book, but we are
members of it.
