AS BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF RICHMOND POWER AND LIGHT
December 10, 2007
The Board of Directors of Richmond Power and Light met Monday, December
10, 2007 in the Auditorium at the Service Building. Chairperson Larry Parker called the
meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Members present were Diana Pappin, Bing Welch, Jack
Elstro, Gil Klose and Chairman Parker. Board members Bruce Wissel, Al Glover,Etta
Lundy and Karl Sharp were absent. Also attending was newly elected Board members
Phil Quinn, Bob Goodwin and Kelley Cruse-Nicholson. Esther Williams, Jim Daugherty
and General Manager Steve Saum from Richmond Power and Light were in attendance.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss adding the positions of Corporate
Service Director and Superintendent.
Board members Diana Pappin led discussion on putting the Superintendent
position directly under Steve Saum and separate from the Corporate Service Director and
the Power Production Manager(Bob Crye). Chairman Parker didn't want to do this and
suggested that the Power Production Manager, the Corporate Services Director and the
Superintendent be all equal under the authority of the General Manager. Any of these
three individuals can be called upon in case of an emergency and work with the Board of
Directors on decision-making. All three could be in charge. It was decided to leave the
chart layout the same.
The Board requested a job description for the Corporate Services Director and to
change the Superintendent title to Power Delivery Director and to add these positions
may handle the General Manager duties.
The Board unanimously approved the chart and changes and advised that the
Salary Ordinance will have to be adjusted to reflect these positions. A new organization
chart will be mailed to each Board of Director member.
With no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned at 8 p.m.
