I want to announce that our board of trustees has decided to implement Opera-tion Round Up. The program will begin in October of this year. We’ve been sharing information about Operation Round Up for the past year so that you’ll understand the purpose of the program and the benefits it would provide the many communities we serve across North Florida. Outreach like this is part of what Clay Electric does beyond delivering electric-ity. Our board of trustees has long thought that Operation Round Up could fit within our corporate purpose. Part of our Purpose Statement includes “strengthening the com-munities we serve.” Operation Round Up is a uniquely simple and rewarding way for members to raise money for local charities, service organi-zations and a variety of community-type projects. Participating members would allow us to “Round Up” their electricity bills to the nearest dollar. For example, if a bill is $92.71, a member would pay $93, with all 29 cents going directly to the Clay Elec-tric Foundation. This foundation would be governed by volunteer trustees selected from the various counties in our 14-county service area, and they would determine how the funds raised by Operation Round Up would be disbursed. None of the monies generated by Operation Round Up would go to Clay Electric; these donations would be placed in the care of the Clay Electric Foundation board of directors, which would consider grant requests from various organizations and groups across our service area. On average, a member would likely con-tribute an average of just $6 per year, but no more than $11.88. All members would auto-matically be included in Operation Round Up, and those who decide they don’t want to participate can simply let us know and we’ll take them out of the program. Remember, you’ll always have the choice to discontinue your participation in Operation Round Up. For many years, our Project Share pro-gram has helped several thousand families

during times when they were experiencing periods of financial difficulty, caused by a job loss or health crisis. Administered by the Salvation Army, Project Share has helped families, but its scope was limited. Operation Round Up would likely gener-ate considerably more funds, and these funds would enable the Foundation to help in many more ways. For example, the Foun-dation might fund grant requests for ad-ditional protective gear for a volunteer fire department, replace a dilapidated dugout at a little league ball field, or fund additional activities at a community center. Our employees have always been active in the communities where they live and raise their families. Operation Round Up would be reflective of Clay Electric’s commitment to improve the quality of life in the many communities we serve across North Florida. With a majority of our members support-ing Operation Round Up, the monies avail-able to the Clay Electric Foundation could be sizable over time. The first Operation Round Up program began in 1989 at Palmetto Electric Coop-erative in Hilton Head Island, S.C. There are about 250 cooperatives participating in Operation Round Up nationally, eight of them in Florida. We’ll be sharing additional information about Operation Round Up in the coming months. Remember that you will have op-portunities to “opt out” of Operation Round Up if you desire. But before doing so, we ask that you consider the many benefits this program will provide the communities we serve, including perhaps the community where you live. The good that we all can achieve by al-lowing us to round up your electric bill a few cents each month will enrich our mem-bers’ lives many times over. We appreciate your support of this program! Please visit ClayElectric.com to read more about Operation Round Up. If you would like to opt out, have your account number and the last four digits of of your social security number handy and go to optout.clayelectric.com or call 1-888-595-2655.

What is Operation Round Up? Operation Round Up is a program to generate and collect voluntary donations that are used to benefit organizations in Clay Electric’s service area for the purpose of improving the quality of life of our members and their communities.What is Clay Electric’s goal for this program? Our goal is to improve the quality of life for the communi-ties we serve. Cooperatives are governed by seven principles, the seventh principle being Concern for Community. Clay Electric has a long history of community involvement and support of charitable and community organizations. What will Operation Round Up cost the cooperative? The cost to operate the Foundation will be minimal, and less than many of the other community engagement programs in which your cooperative is already involved. Involvement in civic groups, chambers of commerce, the Co-op Connections Card program, Youth Tour, scholarships, social responsibility program and Project Share are all examples of programs that demonstrate your cooperative is committed to the communi-ties we serve and has been for decades.

Why is Clay Electric automatically signing up all members? We believe our members would want their Foundation to have as much positive impact in the community as possible. Based on the experience of other cooperatives that have intro-duced Operation Round Up, we anticipate participation in the program to be between 75-90 percent. How much money will Operation Round Up collect? If 75 percent of Clay Electric’s members participate in the program, an average of $60,000 a month will be contributed to Operation Round Up. At this rate, more than $700,000 an-nually will be collected for the foundation.How are requests for funding handled? Organizations that seek funding from the foundation must complete a thorough grant application. Those applications will be reviewed by the foundation board, which may request addi-tional information or determine if personal visits are necessary for fact gathering. The board then votes on all grant requests. Applications will be available on the co-op’s website in July.What are the limitations on grant applications? Applications from organizations should be targeted to program support. Key Focus areas covered by these grants can include education and youth, community need, medical or disaster-related emergencies. Are contributions tax deductible? Yes.For more information about Operation Round Up, please visit www.ClayElectric.com

Clay Electric Cooperative’s members re-elected three members to the board of trustees during the co-op’s 78th an-nual meeting last month. For District 1, incumbent Carl Hag-glund received 1,217 votes; Jo Ann Smith, incumbent trustee for District 8, was re-elected with 1,201 votes, as was Karen Hastings, incumbent trustee for District 9, with 1,214 votes. The co-op estimated that approxi-mately 2,500 people attended this year’s annual meeting. Members who attended the day-long annual meeting enjoyed a grilled chicken lunch during the noon hour. They also had opportunities to visit a health fair, talk with vendors at a variety of exhibits and listen to music under the big tent that was provided by bluegrass band Back From the Brink. Bill Laur of Keystone Heights was the winner of the grand prize, a 2007 Chev-rolet Colorado pickup.

During the afternoon business ses-sion, General Manager/CEO Ricky Davis and Board President Kelley Smith spoke to the annual meeting crowd about the co-op’s accomplishments in 2015, as well as the hard work and dedication of the co-op’s employees. Smith said the co-op returned $6 million in Capital Credits to entitled members in March. Davis presented the co-op’s annual Employee Recognition Award to Janet Craft, a senior accountant at the co-op. Craft has worked for the co-op for 25 years and was nominated by co-workers for her work in was nominated for her selfless work in the area of community service with Holiday Helpers, the Key-stone Fire Department and the Back to School program. Her efforts have helped many children and families as well as vol-unteer organizations in the community.

Voting by Mail Co-op members who voted by mail were entered into a special prize drawing for bill credit prizes. Joshua Lamb of Middleburg won the $500 bill credit. Joseph Weeks of Lake Butler won the $250 credit, and Chester Witc-zak of Fleming Island won a credit for $150. Winners of the $100 credit were Gregory Padgett of Starke and Ridgeway Corgin of Fleming Island.

Clay linemen really stepped up their game at the 2016 FMEA Lineman Com-petition, taking home five trophies for their efforts. The journeyman team from Keystone Heights took 2nd place overall and the Orange Park team won 4th place overall. The Keystone team also placed first in the Open Delta Transformer Change Out event and second in the 12kV Pin Insulator Change. The Orange Park team placed third in 4kV Cross Arm Change Out event. Nine Clay Electric employees com-peted in the lineman rodeo, which took place on March 12 in Orlando and featured 21 journeyman teams and 61 apprentices competing in challenges that simulate day-to-day utility operations. The competition has two divisions: a journeyman lineman division and an apprentice lineman division.

Members of Clay Electric have responded favorably to the co-op’s Energy Smart Rebate Program since it was introduced nearly 10 years ago. The purpose of the co-op’s Rebate Program is to help mem-bers lower their energy use, which they see in lower monthly power bills. The Rebate Program also helps the co-op reduce its demand for wholesale electricity during peak demand times, said Glenn Stanley, manager of the co-op’s Energy Services Division. Rebates are available for attic insulation, high efficiency heat pumps, solar water heating, window film, heat pump water heaters and heat recovery units. Rebates are available to Clay Electric residential members

who are making efficiency upgrades to their primary resi-dence (located on the co-op’s lines). The residence can be a conventional site-built or manufactured home. Rebates are also available to small commercial facilities. To qualify for a rebate, the member must complete and submit an application within 180 days from the day the en-ergy efficiency improvement work is completed. Rebates will be made after verification by a Clay Electric representative that the work has been completed, and the county has made its final inspection, if applicable. “We encourage members who are considering participating in our rebate program to carefully read the instructions and complete the entire application,” said Stanley.
