Department: Markets
Financial Impact and Cost/Benefit Considerations: Expenditure of Cooperative funds is not anticipated to be impacted; expenditures of staff time is not anticipated to be impacted.
Discussion
The Tariff and Business Rules outlines the conditions of service, reasons the Cooperative may refuse service, and reasons that service may be disconnected by the Cooperative in Sections 300.9.14, 300.9.18, and 300.9.20.2 respectively. The Cooperative proposes to add language to these sections clarifying that the Cooperative must have access to Cooperative Facilities on or through a member’s property as a condition of service and without it, the Cooperative may refuse or disconnect service from the member after reasonable attempts to remedy the situation have been made.
Tariff amendments and effective dates are shown below:
• Conditions of Service, 300.9.14 - effective on Board approval
• Refusal of Service, 300.9.18 - effective on Board approval
• Disconnection with Notice, 300.9.20.2.1 - effective on Board approval
Body
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COOPERATIVE that the Cooperative approves the amendments to the Tariff and Business Rules as attached hereto with such changes, if any, as were approved by the Board, to become effective upon Board approval, unless otherwise specified in the Tariff and Business Rules; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Executive Officer, or designee, is authorized to take all such actions as needed to implement this resolution.
