More Paperwork!!!

by Jim Wolfe, IAMU Electric Services Coordinator

The word documentation echoes through the buildings, streets, and jobsites of our utilities and city departments. Job duties have shifted from grabbing the stuff you need for the day and heading out to filing reports, working with metering and billing software, inventory management, budgets, and safety compliance. People that previously spent most of their time in the field have a lot more administrative duties now and this creates paperwork. Some of this trickles down to the people out in the field and isn’t always accepted as a positive thing. Why is this my problem? We only have a couple employees, so is this really necessary? Don’t we do enough paperwork?

IAMU will be holding the 3rd Annual Energy Conference November 4-5, 2015. The event logistics will be very similar to last year’s with a vendor reception the evening of November 4 and opportunities to visit with participants during breaks and lunch. During lunch on Wednesday, we will offer a “Tech Teaser” session. This will give vendors the opportunity to pitch their services, new products, etc. during a fast 2 minute time-slot.  New this year, we are looking for two associate members to be our “Gold” level sponsors.  These companies will be the exclusive sponsors of the Executive Director Reception to be held on Tuesday, November 3 and will receive a higher level of benefits.

Picture
July 7, 2015 was a big day in the history of Waverly Utilities, and for the community in general as work began on the new fiber-to-the-home network.  Crews from TD& I Cable Maintenance of Lakeland, Minnesota (an IAMU Associate Member) began work in several areas of Waverly.  Construction will continue the rest of this year with completion anticipated in 2016.

The new utility will be capable of offering Gigabit internet speeds along with cable television and telephone service.  Waverly becomes the first new broadband utility to begin construction in Iowa in over 10 years, but the project actually had it's origins 15 years ago when voters approved a referendum to establish a communications utility.
