BOARD RESOLUTION #1194
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR FUNDING
THROUGH THE STATE OF ALASKA RENEWABLE ENERGY FUND
WHEREAS: Kotzebue Electric Association Inc. (KEA) is a non-profit corporation in good
standing with the state of Alaska, all of its lenders, and has met any and all of its tax obligations,
and
WHEREAS: It is the desire of KEA to seek funding for support of renewable and other projects
that lead to the reduction of diesel fuel usage such as wind, solar and geothermal and projects,
and
WHEREAS: The cost of solar technology has dropped significantly so that solar energy now has
the ability to allow KEA to distribute and use solar energy production of electricity, and
contribute to meet and exceed environmental compliance, and
WHEREAS: Increased fuel costs and environmental regulation issues have created dramatic cost
increases for the utility that have significantly contributed to the electric rates for our members,
and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That Kotzebue Electric Association Inc. hereby
authorizes the corporation to apply for funds from the State of Alaska Renewable Energy Fund,
and also authorizes General Manager/CEO Brad Reeve and or his designee to represent KEA for
the purpose of applying for funds from the State of Alaska Renewable Energy Fund.
