Board Meeting Highlights

JANUARY 2023

The Cass County Electric Board of Directors met in person and virtually on Jan. 31, 2023, and discussed the following topics:

• Moved to approve the January 2023 consent agenda of the regular board meeting consisting of minutes, monthly department reports, director expense report, and the December Purchased Power Adjustment (PPA).

Waterproof your basement, install a water alarm, and maintain a working sump pump. Install a battery-operated backup pump in case of power failure.

Clear debris from gutters and downspouts to avoid accumulation of water.

When flooding is predicted or imminent, move furniture and valuables to a safe place, such as an attic or the highest floor of your home.

• President/CEO Marshal Albright gave the President’s Report reporting on updates from meetings and conferences attended.

• Received the 2022 year-end financial report.

• Moved to approve the payout of $4.5 million in capital credits, which includes estate capital credits, early retirement of capital credits less than $1,000, and capital credits for the years 2001 and 2002.

• Moved to approve the transfer of 2022 nonoperating margins to the unallocated reserve account.

• Moved to approve another 3-year lease term with Consolidated Communications.

• Moved to approve a modification to rate 700, non-metered devices.

• Received the 2022 safety report and the 2023 safety training plans.

Turn off all electrical systems in your home—but don’t walk through water to get to the fuse box. If you cannot reach the fuse box without stepping through water, call Cass County Electric at 800-248-3292.

• Moved to approve the January 2023 capital credit estate payments.
