IAMU will be hosting two webinars the week of April 10th on Pay As You Save (PAYS). This is an innovative program being funded in part by IEDA. You must click the highlighted links below and register in order to attend these events. Registration is FREE.
Session 1 – Pay As You Save® (PAYS) 1014-10-23 (April 10): 11AM – 12PMThis session will introduce participants to Pay As You Save—what is it, how does it work, who’s using PAYS, and the minimum requirements
of a PAYS program.
Sign up at the following link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYqf-CqpjMoE9cTLj5E0-2QJgCrlFgtyjgV What is Pay As
You Save? The Pay As You Save® (PAYS®) system enables utilities to invest in cost effective energy efficiency and renewables on the customer side of the meter and recover all of their costs. Participating customers have money-saving, resource-efficient
upgrades installed with no up-front payment and no debt obligation. Those who benefit from the savings pay a tariffed charge on their utility bill, but only for as long as they occupy the location where the upgrades are installed. The monthly charge
is always lower than the estimated savings and
it remains on the bill for that location until the utility recovers its costs. While PAYS allows for payment over time, it does not involve any consumer loan obligation.
Session
2 – Pay As You Save (PAYS) In-depth Peer-to-Peer Exchange with Marshall
Cherry, President and CEO, Roanoke Rural Electric Cooperative4-12-23 (April 12): 12PM – 1PM This session will provide IAMU members the opportunity to learn from and ask questions to Marshall Cherry, President
and CEO, Roanoke Rural Electric Cooperative in North Carolina. Roanoke Electric Cooperative’s PAYS program has been in operation since 2015. Do you have questions about PAYS program structure, impacts of PAYS, time required to start and implement a PAYS
program, etc.? This is your opportunity for a peer-to-peer exchange with the leader of one of the country’s model PAYS programs.

April 4 - 13 and April 18 - 20 are the next batches of recertification classes for mobile crane operators.
CLICK HERE to register! Spots are limited!
Crane
operators will know and implement the rules and regulations set forth
by ASME B30.5 and will safely apply those standards in daily operations.
Operators will read, know, and apply all information provided in the
manufacturer’s operator manual and will be able to interpret load
charts, load testing, LMIs, and any safety instrumentation of each
crane. Crane operators will know machine conditions, operational
limitations, and load limitations for situations in which the operator
may be involved. The operators will conduct all hoisting operations in a
safe manner. Operators will be able to effectively communicate with
riggers, signal persons, and other site personnel involved with hoisting
operations.
The content and titles of NCCER’s mobile crane operator
assessments are dependent upon each crane’s boom types while the
content and titles of the practical examinations are grouped by the
mount, or carriage, that is used with each crane.
Applicants who
successfully complete both the knowledge and skills evaluations will be
granted “certified mobile crane operator” status for a period of five
years from issuance of certification.
Certified crane operators must
continue to meet ASME B30 physical requirements throughout their
certification period and attest to their agreement to this requirement
in their applications.
OSHA requires employers to use qualified
riggers during hoisting activities for assembly and disassembly work,
when workers are within the fall zone and hooking, unhooking or guiding a
load or doing the initial connection of a load to a component or structure.
The
level of certification depends upon the individual’s training,
knowledge, skill base, and ability to perform functions related to the
selection, inspection, and proper use of rigging equipment. This person
may be a pipe-fitter, an electrician or steelworker. Each load, pick,
crane or job-site may require rigging that varies from simple to
complex. Each is unique. The person designated as the rigger must have
the ability to properly rig the load for a particular job. Many
construction companies require certified riggers be used to attach the
load to a crane hook. We offer three levels of Rigger certification to
help you reach that next step in your profession.
Each
participant will need to bring their PPE for the practical exam: High
Viz clothing, hardhat, safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, and long
pants.
To learn more about NCCER Crane Training, please contact Margret Meade at mmeade@iamu.org or by phone at 515.210.6617.

We’d like to remind our broadband members that the City of Fort Dodge,
aka Fort Dodge Fiber, is offering two-days of comprehensive training for
customer care personnel in just two weeks. “Introduction to Customer Experience (CX)”
is a one-day training being offered on April 12th and April 13th at
Iowa Central Community College East Campus, 2031 Quail Avenue, Fort
Dodge. Each day’s training will begin at 8:00am and end at 4:00pm.
Continental breakfast and lunch will be included. The material is the
same on both days, so utilities can split their staffs so more can
attend. Cost: $400 per person. Fort Dodge Fiber will invoice your utility at the conclusion of the training. We’d
love to have other municipals participate in this training along with
the Fort Dodge Fiber staff. It’s a great opportunity for in-depth
customer experience training that would cost thousands of dollars to
conduct on your own (Fort Dodge knows…that’s why their inviting you to
help offset the costs!). CLICK HERE to register your team for Introduction to Customer Experience! If you have any questions about the training, reach out to me or to Nick Ekel, Fort Dodge Customer Experience Manager, nekel@fortdodgefiber.com
