Prairie Meadows has informed us they will will not be holding events through March.

We are evaluating future dates and venues and will send out that information once it’s available.

The Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities will hold its Annual Member Meeting at 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 6 at the IAMU Office, 1735 NE 70th Ave., Ankeny, Iowa.

Per the IAMU By Laws, each member utility gets one vote per utility type membership. For example, a member with electric and water utility memberships gets two votes. A member with an electric, natural gas, water, and broadband gets four votes.

All members must be registered in advance to attend. Although as many member representatives may attend the meeting as you wish, each member will need to designate a voting delegate in advance as set forth below. Each voting delegate must be employed by the member. Members may not vote by proxy. 

MEMBERS ATTENDING IN PERSON

For those attending in person, advanced registration is greatly appreciated, although members may register in person at the meeting until 10:30 a.m. February 6, 2020. No registrations for in-person attendance will be accepted after this time.

MEMBERS PARTICIPATING ELECTRONICALLY

This year, members will also be able to attend the meeting electronically via webinar. Those members wishing to attend electronically must register online, 48 hours in advance, before 11 a.m., February 4, 2020. Member voting delegates must be designated at the time of registration.

For those members that register for electronic attendance, log-in information will be provided 24 hours in advance of the meeting, by 11 a.m. February 5, 2020. To ensure an accurate count for voting, no telephone call-in will be available, and webinar log-in may be unique to each voting delegate.

The agenda, and any supporting materials will be sent out to registered members 24 hours in advance (by 11 a.m., February 5, 2020).

If you have questions, please feel to contact IAMU Executive Director Troy DeJoode at 515-289-1999 or  tdejoode@iamu.org.
