  2. Public Forum:

 

Cassie Campbell, MEA Communications Manager, Public Relations Dept.?? :

 

MEA is near the end of their commitment to appear at each community within the area to inform them of local projects that might be upcoming or ongoing, to answer any questions and pass on information.

 

Trapper Creek-no major events here.

 

Recent outage: 250 people outage caused by trees-typical cause is trees. The nearest MEA shop for outages is Big Lake. On year 6 of a 7 year cycle to clear trees that in the right of way and are in direct contact with the transmission lines or in danger of being in direct contact (referred to as ?Danger Trees?). MEA area is 4,300 miles- an area the size of West VA. MEA prioritized areas for right of way clearing and it was completed in 6 years, not 7. Trapper Creek was cleared 2 years ago and will be done again 4 years (but report any trees that fall into the ?danger tree? description). Clearing was also done near the ?Y? that should also help prevent outages. People are encouraged to using the Smart Hub Application for cell phones to report outages, check your individual usage, etc.

 

Rates: recently was the time for quarterly rate adjustments. There was a rate increase. It is roughly 2%, just under $2.00/month for bills. It is common for rate adjustment increases at this time as this referenced quarter was part of summer when electricity is not being sold.

 

Elections: April, 2019 is an MEA election at the Annual Meeting. Bill Kendig (a Wasilla realtor) is the current Susitna West District At Large Representative and this position is up for re-election. A volunteer position on the election committee is also available. No representation this far north for either position. Contact Cassie Campbell for more information and details regarding both positions.
