WILL PRESIDE: Ray Brown, Montwel rancher, anfl president of the Moon Lake Electric Association As-sociation board, wjll preside over the special membership meeting next Saturday to be held at Altamont at 1 p.m. Setting Up Seven Districts In Area Is One Proposal; Office At Present Will Not Change Perhaps one of the most important meetings of the general membership of the Moon Lake Electric Association Associa-tion to be held in a long time will convene at the Altamont Alta-mont School building at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3. It is a special meeting called to consider changing the articles of incorporation of the association. According to Ray Brown, president presi-dent of the executive board, the call for all members of the REA supported cooperative to meet in the special meeting was made early last week when a detailed call went to each member in good standing. Moon Lake Electric has members extending from Tabiona, Hanna and Fruitland on the west, to Rangely, Colorado on the east. Seven Districts A proposal will be presented to the membership to change boundaries boun-daries and set up seven districts on a geographic basis. At present directors are being selected at random ran-dom with no particular thought being be-ing given as to the home of the directors. If the' changes in by-laws are approved as proposed, seven directors would be chosen, each from one of the new districts. Another proposal, will be establishing estab-lishing Altamont as the principal place of business, and setting the date for the annual meeting on the first Saturday of February, at some place designated by the board of directors in Altamont. Provisions Provis-ions are made that if a holiday falls on the first Saturday in February, Feb-ruary, the meeting would be called on the next succeeding business day. The proposals will more clearly define the duties of the Board and provide for filling vacancies that might occur on the board following the annual meeting. How special meetings are to be called is also included in the proposed changes. Office At Altamont At a recent meeting of the board of directors a recommendation made by REA that the headquarters headquar-ters be changed from Altamont to either Vernal or Roosevelt, was eliminated from the call, and the by-lavs will still designate the' principal place of business as Altamont. Alta-mont. What will be done with the branch office at Vernal is a matter to be considered by the membership member-ship at a later date. According to Mr. Brown, proxies have been printed and will be circulated cir-culated among the members to be used, in the event the member can not attend the meeting and cast his vote in person. The Saturday meeting will no doubt go into the record books as one of the most important sessions since the REA born cooperative was established a number of years ago when the Uintah Basin voted for a rural electrical project. All I members are urged to attend and help decide the future policies and j programs of Moon Lake Electric I j Association. I |
