Small Change, Big Impact Operation Round Up would put change to work in our communities. Pages 3, 5 NEWS IN BRIEF... Cost of power lowered again For November and December, members of Clay Electric Co-op who use 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity will see their power bills decrease by $3.50. Last month, the co-op charged $116.80 for 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity. This month, thanks to a lower Power Cost Adjustment, the cost will drop to $113.30, a savings of $3.50. The PCA decreased from 0.0235 to 0.0200. This is the third decrease in the cost of power for Clay members this year. The first decrease occurred in July and the second occurred in September. The total decrease for the year is $9.60. “We’re pleased to have been able to lower the cost of power three times this year,” said General Manager/CEO Ricky Davis. With this month’s drop in the PCA, Clay Electric’s cost for 1,000 kWh is the second lowest rate among the 15 electric cooperatives in Florida. Clay Electric is also lower than many of its neighboring utilities. Back to Your Future scholarship presented to grad student A student from Palatka is the recipient of the co-op’s inaugural Back to Your Future Scholarship. Ernie “Bubba” Silcox was selected from more than 52 applicants. The scholarship was designated to help older students pursue their educational goals. For nearly 20 years, the co-op has been providing scholarships for deserving high school students. This year, the co-op was able to Ernie “Bubba” Silcox IV receives the co-op’s expand that effort to inaugural Back to Your Future scholarship from trustee Kelley Smith. provide this scholarship for students over the age of 22. Applicants were scored based on financial need, leadership and/or community service, and educational goals and career plans. Silcox said he is using the scholarship money to help pay for graduate school at the University of Florida. He is working toward his master’s degree in education with a focus on social studies. “I am extremely thankful and beyond excited that I received this scholarship,” he said. “I appreciate Clay Electric for offering this.” 2/KILOWATT KILOWATT NOVEMBER 2015 VOLUME 46 NUMBER 6 KILOWATT is published six times a year (in January, March, May, July, September and November) by Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc., Highway 100 West, Keystone Heights, Florida, 32656 as an informational and educational service to its member-owners.

NOVEMBER 2015 The General Manager’s Report Ricky Davis Change we can make together T hink of all the people or organizations you have wanted to help in the past, but couldn’t because the need was too great for one person to handle. Whether they’re a family member, neighbor or local organization, our ability to help those in need is often limited by our own financial situation. Each year Clay Electric gets hundreds of financial requests, and we’re limited as well. We’ve found a way to help those in need, and you can be a part of it through Operation Round Up. Since our founding in 1937, we’ve always supported our communities on behalf of our members. Although we’re able to give some organizations contributions, many of the requests for special cases or individual needs may not qualify for our corporate contributions because of program criteria or limited funds. Through Operation Round Up, we’ll automatically round up participating members’ electric bills to the next dollar. The small change that makes up the difference goes to Operation Round Up. Small change, Big impact Operation Round Up is a voluntary program, and your NOVEMBER 2015 support will make it a success. It may seem like small change, but the more members participating, the greater the impact we can make in our communities. Small change can change lives. Cooperative spirit Concern for Community is one of the seven Cooperative Principles that provides the foundation of why cooperatives exist today. At Clay Electric, community involvement is more than rolling up our sleeves to pitch in when we’re needed. For more details about Operation Round Up, see page 5 and visit ClayElectric.com We believe an active presence in the community is not only measured by physical presence, but also through financial support. When you see the good works we’re able to accomplish together through Operation Round Up, you’ll know you’re a part of a continuing tradition of the cooperative spirit at work. Small change of heart When we say we’ve had a small change of heart, we mean it in a good way. Bringing Operation Round Up to Clay Electric is doing just what it says: using small change to meet even more needs. Operation Round Up funds may impact an entire community, group or organization. Knowing we can change lives with small change does our hearts good. Next year We’re excited throughout the cooperative. Early next year, the decision will be made whether to move forward with Operation Round Up. We will thoroughly communicate our decision about implementing this program. If we do move forward with it, we will give everyone plenty of notice. Look for more information in future editions of the Kilowatt and the Power Line. We also have a section of ClayElectric.com devoted to Operation Round Up. In the near future, you may have the opportunity to be a part of something big that took little effort but will yield so much. KILOWATT/3 Call Center turns 20 I n 1995, Clay Electric opened its Call Center to more efficiently handle all incoming calls. This was a new concept to the co-op at the time. Previously, members would call their local district office and speak to a customer service representative at one of the six locations situated throughout the co-op’s 14-county service area. Over the last two decades, the co-op has grown considerably. In 1995, the Call Center was staffed by 8 full-time and two part-time customer service representatives, including a supervisor. Today, there are 17 full-time employees and 6 part-time, all customer service representatives and supervisors. While the Call Center’s staff level has grown along with the number of members served, the building it works in has remained the same size. The Call Center itself, which was built into the existing Keystone Heights District office, has a total square footage of 1,135. The employees share a meeting room with the Keystone Heights District. In 1995, the co-op was serving 115,269 member accounts, and the Call Center employees were handling between 6,000-7,000 calls per week. Today, the co-op has 168,641 member accounts, a 46 percent increase in 20 years. The employees are now handling between 9,500-11,000 calls per week. A new Call Center is currently under construction in Keystone Heights and can be seen from State Road 100. The new facility is 7,969 square feet and will easily accommodate the employees with much larger work stations, as well as areas 4/KILOWATT FOCUS ON CUSTOMER SERVICE--The co-op’s Call Center employees include Gail Brooks, Linda Stanley, Sherry Passwater, Julie Hottinger, Marcilla Padgett, Ginger Elmore, Krissy Parmeter, Denise Wasdin, Cindy Kitchens, Rachel Crider, Lisa Baldwin, Heather Davis, Nancy Starling, Sandra Gonzalez, Amy Dorris, Martha Roberts, Wanda Jackson, Cara Hayes, Nancy Thomas, Susan McIntyre, Patti Tyson, Joanie Miller and Aimee Gross. for training and a conference room. Construction is expected to be completed early next year. Susan McIntyre, Call Center coordinator, has been with the Call Center since the beginning. She started with the co-op in 1989. She said the focus of the Call Center has not changed. “We handle incoming customer calls for all six district offices. Technology has improved our efficiency over the years. Email is one example. Another example is that we can now fax directly from work stations,” she said. “We also have forecasting software that helps us predict staffing needs, and we can record calls for quality assurance and training purposes.” While much has changed in 20 years, the purpose of the Call Center has not. “Our primary goal is the same as it was when we opened,” she said. “We are the voice of Clay Electric and we do our best to give exceptional customer service to everyone.” NOVEMBER 2015 The Power of Many, Helping Others. Co-op considers implementing Operation Round Up O ver the nearly eight decades since the co-op was founded, Clay Electric has sought to serve the people in its territory in many ways beyond providing electricity. As a cooperative, Clay Electric is bound by the seven cooperative principles, and Concern for Community is the seventh Cooperative Principle. The Cooperative Difference sets Clay Electric apart from other electric utilities. As a not-forprofit utility, we’ve always emphasized professional service and going the extra mile for our members. We’re also committed to the communities we serve, and provide programs that help our members beyond that of keeping the power on. In an effort to improve the lives of members, the co-op is considering implementing Operation Round Up. Operation Round Up is a program to generate and collect charitable donations that are used to benefit organizations in the community. The program “rounds up” a member’s bill to the nearest dollar, and that amount (which is completely tax-deductible) is awarded to local charities and organizations in the co-op’s service area. All funds stay in the community to benefit the members of Clay Electric. Each month, the electric bills of participating members are rounded up – increased to the next dollar amount. So, if your bill is $119.99, it is rounded up to $120, and if your bill is $175.53, it is rounded up to $176. The average amount any given member donates is just $0.50 per month, with the maximum being $11.88 per year. You can find out more about Operation Round Up at ClayElectric.com. Why is Clay Electric considering this program? Cooperatives are governed by seven principles, the seventh principle being Concern for NOVEMBER 2015 Community. Clay Electric has a long history of community involvement and support of charitable and community organizations, from children’s programs and shelters for battered women to food banks and scouting. 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 communities we serve and has been for decades. Operation Round Up is simply one more program that demonstrates the cooperative difference to improve the communities in our service area. 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 introduced Operation Round Up, participation in the program is much higher (75-90 percent over time) when members are automatically enrolled and given an opportunity to opt out. To ensure that our members understand what Operation Round Up is and why we’re implementing it, there will be a six-month long communication campaign prior to the start of the program. During this period, members will be provided a variety of easy methods to decline participation in Operation Round Up. KILOWATT/5 Trustee Jo Ann Smith receives honors for farming and ranching advocacy Co-op trustee Jo Ann Smith has blazed trails for women and championed family-owned farms in the agricultural industry for decades. This year, in addition to being inducted into the Meat Industry Hall of Fame, she received the Swan Leadership Award by the NaSmith tional Cattlemen’s Beef Association and is being inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame. Smith’s service to Clay Electric began in 2012 when she was elected trustee for District 8, the seat that was held by her late husband for 39 years. She currently serves as secretary. A rancher alongside her husband Cedrick, Smith saw the need for global marketing efforts for farmers to survive financially in the changing world. In 1985, she became the first female president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the largest agricultural organization in the U.S. She was the founding chair of the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, under which she spearheaded and developed the highly successful Beef Check-off Program. In 1989, she was appointed by President George H. W. Bush as the Assistant Secretary of Marketing and Inspection of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. During the 1990s, Smith continued to represent agriculture by serving on corporate boards for Purina Mills, Iowa Beef Producers, and Tyson Foods, Inc., all while remaining involved in her family’s business. In August, the Meat Industry Hall of Fame announced it is honoring Jo Ann Smith as one of seven members of the 2015 class. Smith began her involvement with the beef industry in the late 1960s when she became a member of the Florida Beef Council, the USDA Animal Technical Advisory Committee on Livestock and Livestock Statement of ownership, management and circulation 1) Date of filing: October 1, 2015. 2) Title of Publication: The Kilowatt. 3) Frequency of issue: Six times per year (Jan., Mar., May, July, Sept. & Nov.). 4) Location of known office of publication: Hwy 100 (P.

Kathy Richardson 6/KILOWATT Products, the USDA Foreign Animal Disease Advisory Committee, and the USDA Meat Pricing Task Force. Then, from 1970 to 1972, she served as president of the Florida Cattlewomen’s Association. Smith’s leadership in the agriculture industry has earned her many awards and honors. In 1982 and again in 1988, she was named Man of the Year in American Agriculture by Progressive Farmer magazine. In 1985, she was selected Woman of the Year in Agriculture by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. In 1987, the Western States Meat Association honored her with the E. Floyd Forbes Award for Outstanding Service to the Meat Industry. Smith served as assistant secretary for Marketing and Inspection Services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture from 1989 to 1993. Her leadership role on important issues such as groundwater quality, rural development and animal welfare regulation had a positive impact on farmers and consumers all across the country. In 1990, she was given the Golden Spur Award by the Ranching Heritage Association. In 1992, she received a Good Government Award from the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association, and an Outstanding Contributions to American Agriculture Award from the National Agricultural Editors Association. Smith was the founding chair of the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board. A national advertising campaign funded by the Check-off has proven remarkably effective, improving the public’s perception of beef’s nutritional value.
