Decatur County REMC addresses legal complaint

The following article was submitted by Decatur County REMC:


(GREENSBURG, Ind.) -- The Decatur County REMC Board of Directors is aware of the recent  legal complaint filed against members of our board and CEO. Our firm response to the filing is that there are no  valid claims in the complaint and that the allegations are simply untrue.

  

Since the filing of the complaint, a petition has been created calling for the removal of a board member. The  petition contains the same untruthful claims used in the original complaint and have not been validated by any court.  


In both the complaint and the petition, the issues cited by the plaintiffs have already been addressed by our  staff and board members, and in many cases multiple times, over the course of the past several months (and  years.) 


Following board policy, written questions and letters submitted to our board have received factual, written  responses, however the plaintiffs are unsatisfied with the answers and have filed the complaint to express that  dissatisfaction. Additionally, the board views the petition as just another tactic from a group of disgruntled  members who insist on forcing the board to meet their demands.  


Our board follows the rules, policies and procedures of the REMC’s bylaws to govern the cooperative in a fair,  responsible and legal manner. Those bylaws will not be overlooked to meet the demands of any individual or  group. 


Working with our legal counsel, we will file a response to address each specific item in the complaint and look  forward to resolving this matter. During the course of this civil litigation process we cannot provide additional  comments regarding the complaint, but consistent with any applicable legal rules, we will release new information as it becomes available. 


The board and management team are committed to making decisions that are in the best interest of our entire membership and to providing safe and reliable power to each and every one of our 6,800 members. Our Board  of Directors were elected to govern and guide the cooperative and will continue to do so — putting the  operations of the cooperative and service to our members first.
