BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP
CORPORATION DIRECTORS* REPLY TO CHARGES
(OF IRRESPONSIBILITY)
The undersigned members of the Board of Directors of Blue Ridge
Mountain Electric Membership Corporation wish to state and to remind
the Members of the Cooperative that an audited financial statement has
been made to every Member annually . These statements have covered
all funds collected and the purposes for which they were used. Every
Director is provided a monthly statement of operations which shows, in
detail, all revenues collected and how they are used.
The last audited statement given to the Members (as of June 30,1970)
showed a lifetime deficit for the Cooperative of $16,145.48. Amortization
collections during this time, amounting to $1,745,000, have been used
entirely to repay money borrowed from REA . to build the lines
supplying service to our Members. These amortization funds are
restricted and can be used for no other purpose, though they are not
enough to meet these requirements.
These Directors refute the statement that Mr. Ed Lance was denied
the courtesy of naming his successor. The By-Laws of the Cooperative
clearly statethat any vacancy occuring on the Board will be filled by the
remaining Board Members for the un-expired term of the position
vacated. Mr. Lance did not submit a resignation, and no vacancy existed.
Instead, he offered to "step aside" IF the Board desired to appoint Dr.
Tanksley in his place. While the Board has given serious consideration to
recommendations of resigning members, there is no precedent of
permitting them to "choose" their successor.
The undersigned Directors also state that they have never,
individually or collectively, willfully withheld any information from the
Members. The affairs of the Cooperative are of public concern.
Statements and reports on the affairs of the Cooperative are given to the
Members regularly in the form of newsletters, annual reports and at the
annual meetings.
As for rate increases, statements have been published in the area
newspapers showing the amount & the reasons for them. These retail
rates are controlled by TVA and are part of the Power Contract between
TV A and the Cooperative. The Board has very little to say about the rate
schedules adopted. The huge surpluses mentioned in a recent
newspaper article simply do not exist, and the Cooperative must use its
revenues carefully andprudently to meet its obligations and at the same
time provide adequate service to Members, old and new. Neither this
Cooperative, no any other TVA power distributor has ever paid a
dividend to its' consumers, nor are they permitted to do so under the
provisions of the TVA Power Contract.
All the members of the Board of Directors have been fully aware of
the method by which rates are fixed by TVA and within the knowledge of
the undersigned no member of the Board has made an objection to the
rates in a board meeting or sought in any manner to have these rates
changed.
It is the intent and policy of the Board to make available all facts
relative to the Cooperative . The business of the Cooperative is officially
audited once a year and our records are examined several times each
year by TVA. Every dime received and disbursed -by the Cooperative
is subject to the closest examination by these officials. At no time have
these officials found any fault in the manner in which the funds or of the
Cooperative have been used, and have frequently commended the
Cooperative for the fine manner in which its' business is handled.
