Plains-led meeting leaves many questions unanswered
Kit Carson Electric Co-op advisory board members said Plains Electric Co-op failed to explain the high cost of the Plains plant and rate comparability. They noted no access to board meetings and questioned why Kit Carson pays about 22 percent more per kWh. Kit Carson bought $16.9 million in electricity in 1986, while Southwest Electric and Continental Divide purchases were $20.4 million and $17.6 million respectively.

Co op members approve three bylaws changes at annual meeting
More than 600 Kit Carson Electric Cooperative members approved three bylaws changes at the Saturday meeting on June 18. A per diem salaries ban for board members passed 3-1, with some members opposing the vote method. Registration cards were used to limit one vote per family. A nepotism change was debated. officials noted related prohibitions already exist. Registration set a company record with 687 members at the gathering. The quorum required was 450 of 16,000. Two other changes gave the board more capital credit distribution power and allowed estates credits to be paid out of order with a 500 cap.
