What does the latest tax reform mean for your Cooperative? Eastern Iowa REC, like all electric cooperatives, is a not-for-profit organization. It operates at cost to deliver affordable and reliable power. As a not-for-profit and pri-marily tax-exempt entity, the federal corporate tax reduction will not affect Eastern Iowa REC. Since the Cooperative bases its rates on the cost of acquiring and delivering elec-tricity, any reduction in costs from suppliers of electricity could be passed on to mem-bers. Operating at cost is a key

Renewable energy output data is available online

The Skystream 2.4 residential wind turbine and 18-panel solar array were installed during the spring of 2010 at the Cooperative’s DeWitt service center.

Eastern Iowa REC’s wind turbine and solar array pro-duced a combined 315 kilo-watt hours of power during the month of January. For the month, the wind turbine produced 138 kWh while the solar array produced 177 kWh. During the month, the average wind speed in DeWitt was 7.73 mph and the average daily temperature was 21.6°F. The highest wind speed read-ing for the month was 28 mph at 2 p.m. on Jan. 26. The Cooperative’s wind tur-bine has a rated peak capacity of 2.4 kW. The solar array has a rated peak capacity of 3.1 kW. The weather figures were

gathered from the Iowa Department of Transportation Roadway Weather Information system found online at www. weatherview.dot.state.ia.us. Three readings are taken each day to come up with the monthly average. The output from the wind turbine and solar array is also available on the Cooperative’s web site, www.easterniowa. com. 12227802 The kilowatt hour, kWh, is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 watt hours and is most com-monly known as a billing unit for energy delivered to con-sumers by electric utilities. A heater rated at 1,000 watts, operating for one hour, uses one kilowatt hour.

TAXES from page 1.component of the cooperative business model. Electric cooperatives strive to keep rates affordable for all mem-bers and already return mar-gins to their member-owners. The tax status of Eastern Iowa REC, and all other elec-tric cooperatives, remains unchanged by the recent tax reform legislation.

The cooperative business model enables electric cooper-atives to focus on their core mission--providing affordable and reliable power at cost to the communities they serve. Cooperatives are locally owned by the members they serve. Because each coopera-tive is locally controlled, it has the flexibility to use the best tools to achieve its mission.

Comments from the CEO

The value of electricity continues to shine Tax policy can be complicated. If you’ve ever done your own federal and state income taxes or if you own a business, you understand firsthand how every detail matters in compliance, especially when it comes to profits. Because Eastern Iowa REC is a not-for-profit business entity there is sometimes confusion about whether we pay taxes. The answer is: yes, we pay taxes. We pay property taxes, employee taxes, replacement taxes, and taxes on materials and sup-plies to name a few. However, we don’t pay taxes on business profits, because we are not a profit-based organization. 13070102 Because electric cooperatives are not-for-profit organizations--operating at cost to deliver affordable and reliable power across all of Iowa’s 99 counties--we don’t have operating profits. Since our rates are based on the cost of acquiring and delivering electric-ity, we don’t make money on the services we provide. If we receive a cost reduction from our suppliers, those savings are passed along to our members. If we have excess funds--commonly called mar-gins--from providing our member-owners with safe, reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible electricity, we return those funds to you in the form of patronage. Since our inception, operating at cost has

been a cornerstone of the cooperative business model. This year, Eastern Iowa REC has plans to return approximately $2.35 million to current and former members from patronage from the years of 2001, 2002 and 2017. Taxes on profits are in the news. You may have heard or read that the tax reform bill is now law, meaning that as of January 1 the corporate tax rate dropped to 21%. This is good news for many businesses. Lawmakers suggested the extra profits--once paid to the federal government in the form of taxes--could now be used for improving products, lowering prices and generally boosting the economy. However, some critics of the new law believe that the extra money will line the pockets of shareholders. Commissions across the country are looking at what this means for various types of profit-making corporations, some of which are utilities. Like other regulatory bodies across the country, the Iowa Utilities Board has opened an investigation into how the new federal tax reform bill might impact Iowa’s customers,

and if the result would change Iowans’ energy rates. Because electric cooperatives aren’t profit-making corporations, the new tax bill does not change our tax status. We won’t pay any more or any less in taxes based on the electricity we are distributing to our members.

By Anne Prince, NRECA If you are like many Americans, when given the choice, you would prefer your energy come from renewable sources such as solar or wind power rather than fossil fuels. As electric utilities shift to more options that include renewable energy sources and make exist-ing generation technologies cleaner, electricity uses less fos-sil fuel per kilowatt-hour of energy produced. This idea of “environmentally beneficial electrification” means that inno-vations in energy technology are creating new ways to use electricity instead of on-site fos-sil fuels such as propane, natu-ral gas and fuel oil. In addition to the utility indus-try, environmental groups such as the Natural Resources Defense Council recognize the value of this concept. Sheryl Carter, Co-Director, NRDC Energy Program, commented that, “Beneficial electrification will continue to play a big role in accelerating this transition in an effective and economic way, to the benefit of consumers, energy

resilience and the environment.” As a practical matter, bene-ficial electrification means that electric appliances, like your water heater, clothes dryer and oven have the potential to become greener over time. When your electric cooperative takes advantage of advances in technology and the market at the generation point, it means those efficiencies are inherent-ly passed along to you, the Cooperative member. Because large appliances have a typical lifespan of 15 to 20 years, it means that you are able to benefit from the flexi-bility of the grid in addition to the increased efficiency of the particular appliance. In other words, the high-efficiency electric oven you have today could be powered by renew-able sources three years from now. This would not be the case with gas appliances where you are essentially locked into the technology of that gas appliance for the 15 to 20 year lifespan. As your Cooperative is able to tap into more renew-able options in the future, the

only way you would be able to benefit from this trend is through an electric appliance. For consumers and home-owners looking for more envi-ronmentally-friendly energy options, choosing electric appliances over those powered by fossil fuels is an easy solu-tion. Whether through electric lawn mowers, blowers and weed whackers (plug-in or rechargeable) or through elec-tric water heaters and other appliances, beneficial electrifi-cation is a means to reducing greenhouse gases and helping

the environment. At the national level, electric cooperatives across the country are purchasing and generating more renewable resources, bringing wind, solar and geo-thermal energy into the electric power system, which means electricity is becoming greener. As the overall energy sector continues to evolve, Eastern Iowa REC is striving to take advantage of the advances in technology and the opportuni-ties of the market as they become available. This means we can leverage the flexibility

of the grid to offer a wider range of renewable power choices as we continue to deliver safe, reli-able and affordable power to our community. NRDC’s Carter further observed, “The successful transition to a clean energy future will require substantial reliance on efficient electric technologies like electric vehi-cles and advanced electric water heating, including heat pump or grid-interactive resis-tance water heaters, powered by an increasingly cleaner and more flexible electric system.”

Environmentally beneficial electrification

How using electricity can benefit the environment

F.E. “Toady” Fair came to Eastern Iowa REC during a critical stage in the organiza-tion’s history. He went on to lead the Cooperative through a time of great growth and devel-opment. The Cooperative was formed in 1935 when a group of farmers met in Swains Hall in McCausland. Work began immediately to sell the concept of bringing electricity to the rural parts of eastern Iowa. These efforts progressed at a steady pace until World War II put a halt to all building proj-ects as the materials were need-ed for the war effort. When Fair was named the organization’s first general manager on Feb. 15, 1944, the Cooperative served 4,200 mem-bers. At the time of his retire-ment 27 years later, the organi-zation had grown to serve more than 13,200 members. According to the unofficial history of Eastern Iowa Light and Power Cooperative, “Determination Turned On The Power” by Harold Severson, the Cooperative’s service terri-tory stretched over 10 counties in 1944. There were five line-men working for the organiza-tion, each using his own truck as the Cooperative owned just one pickup and an A-frame boom truck. The linemen were paid 5¢ for each mile driven on Cooperative business. Under Fair’s leadership, the Cooperative purchased its first fleet of vehicles for employees to use. He was also instrumen-tal in developing many of the first official rules, regulations, processes and inspection rou-tines that employees were to follow. Another change in Cooperative operation that was prompted by Fair was the change of electing members to

the board of directors from each county served by the Cooperative to being elected from five districts established to include equal representation. In 1947, Fair began to explore plans to move the Cooperative’s headquarters from Davenport to a location more centrally located within the service territory and in 1949 the move was made to Wilton. Fair also oversaw the development of area offices throughout the service territory to ensure prompt service to all Cooperative members. The Wapello office was opened March, 1947; the DeWitt office was opened in June, 1947; and the Lone Tree office was opened in November, 1949. Another major development that occurred during the Fair years saw the Cooperative enter the market selling and servicing household applianc-es. The Cooperative adopted this venture as a way to pro-mote the use of electricity and give rural residents a reliable, dependable option to purchase appliances and have them ser-viced.

The first Eastern Iowa REC barbecue and electric show held in conjunction with the annual meeting took place on October 3, 1950 and grew into one of the largest events of its kind in the country. Fair pre-sided over annual meetings held on ground the Cooperative owned on the north side of Wilton that attracted more than 15,000 people. Large circus tents were erected to accom-modate the varied entertain-ment, meeting and appliance/vendor displays. The biggest project Fair undertook during his tenure was the construction of a coal-fired generation facility located along the Mississippi River near Montpelier. A loan of $10.49 million was secured from the Rural Electrification Administration (now the Rural Utilities Service) on March 13, 1957 for construction of the facility. The plant went online in February, 1960. It was later named Fair Station in his honor and operated until November, 2013. Fair passed away shortly after his retirement in 1971, but his legacy and devotion to the Cooperative and rural electric program live on in the success-ful organization that Eastern Iowa REC is today.

F.E. Fair

The bronze plaque commemorating the career of former Eastern Iowa REC general manager F.E. Fair was installed in the lobby of the Wilton headquarters facility last month. The plaque had hung by the boardroom of the old head-quarters building for many years.

The F.E. Fair commemorative plaque now hangs on the lobby wall of the Wilton headquarters building outside the billing department and just around the corner from pay win-dows.

Another plaque that was installed inside the vestibule of the Wilton headquarters office commemorates the dedication of the facility. The Cooperative moved into the new head-quarters in May of 2015.

Plaques installed commemorate new and old achievements Forty-eight years ago, the 1970 Eastern Iowa REC annual meeting the agenda included a special item apart from the usual speeches, entertainment and prize drawings. A large, bronze plaque was presented to F.E. Fair who would retire at the end of that year after serv-ing as general manager of the Cooperative from 1944-1971. The plaque hung for many years in the lobby of the former headquarters office by the boardroom in Wilton and was recently rehung in the lobby of the new Wilton headquarters facility. Substation foreperson Kevin Bohnsack and substa-

tion serviceperson Chris Dorris installed the plaque. Bohnsack crafted a new wooden frame for the plaque. A second bronze plaque was installed in the vestibule of the Wilton headquarters office com-memorating the dedication of the facility. Bohnsack also made a wooden frame for this plaque. The Fair plaque was unveiled and presented to him at the 1970 Cooperative annual meeting. The Cooperative’s board of directors gave the plaque to Fair and it was presented to him by Clyde T. Ellis, the general man-ager of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Assoc-

iation at the time. In his remarks, Ellis said, “This is not an occa-sion celebrating your imminent retirement after a quarter centu-ry as general manager of this Cooperative. It is rather an occasion celebrating your great leadership in Iowa and the nation. 14217901 You have labored hard; you have kept the faith; you have led valiantly, and today, you stand ten feet tall among the giants of America.” The plaque reads: “A friend of rural America and a national-ly recognized leader of rural electric cooperatives. A man whose determination and vision helped energize the transmis-sion lines that have brought power, progress, and prosperity to eastern Iowa. He will be remembered for his distin-guished record of responsible operation on behalf of the mem-bers he served, the employees he trained, and for his record in public, labor and legislative relations. We commend and congratulate F.E. Fair.” The plaque was signed by President Harry S. Truman, President Lyndon B. Johnson, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, Iowa Governor Robert D. Ray, U.S. Senator from Iowa Harold E. Hughes and several other industry lead-ers.

Country HumorThe case of the fearless goat

By Richard Hoffmann When I was growing up, we always had a few sheep to keep the weeds down. We also had a billy goat that was supposed to protect the sheep. One summer morning, we were awakened to bleating and barking from the pasture. When we got to the pasture, there were four dogs chasing the sheep. Where was our billy goat? 16113606 There was a small shed in the pasture. Our fearless goat was standing on top of the shed, watching all of the com-motion. Obviously Billy wasn’t doing his job so Dad took him to the sale barn, which at that time was in New Liberty. My grandpa was known by

almost everyone as the “go to scalper” in the area. He would show up every now and then with bargain calves that we would fatten. The afternoon of the Friday following our sheep incident, Grandpa pulled into our yard and promptly announced, “I’ve got something for you!” And something he had indeed. There in the back of his pickup, as big as you please, was our fearless billy goat. Grandpa had bought our own billy goat for us.

Patronage treasure hunt continues this month The Cooperative is trying to locate the following people and firms who have outstand-ing patronage refunds, depos-its and or uncashed checks. If you know any of these people or firms, have them contact the patronage department of Eastern Iowa REC, at 1-800-728-1242. Included with the names are the last known addresses the Cooperative has for these people and firms. All income above that need-ed to provide electric service is returned to Cooperative mem-bers as patronage. A portion of the funds are deferred and returned at a later date. This time lapse causes some problems for members who move off Cooperative lines and don't leave forwarding addresses. If you see a familiar name among those listed, have the person contact the Coop-erative. The list will continue in the March issue of the Current News.
