THE NATIONAL TRADE ASSOCIATION, NRECA, COLLECTS THE DATA AND MAKES IT AVAILABLE TO THOSE WILLING TO PAY A SMALL FEE FOR THE ANNUAL REPORT. USING THAT REPORT OF DATA, SANTEE DETERMINES WHAT THE AVERAGE PAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA IS FOR ANY COMMON POSITION, INCLUDING TOP OFFICER. THE DATA CAN BE BROKEN DOWN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS BY COOPERATIVE SIZE AND IT CAN ALSO BE STUDIED FOR THE ENTIRE GROUP OF 20 COOPERATIVES IN SOUTH CAROLINA. ONCE THE MARKET RANGE IS DETERMINED, THEN THE EMPLOYEE IS MEASURED AGAINST HIS/HER POSITION DESCRIPTION TO DETERMINE WHERE HE/SHE SHOULD BE IN RELATION TO THE APPROPRIATE MARKET VALUE. THESE RAISES ARE LIMITED BY THE COLLECTIVE AMOUNT THAT THE BOARD APPROVES FOR RAISES WHEN THEY APPROVE THE BUDGET EACH YEAR. THIS RAISE BUDGET AMOUNT IS DETERMINED BY THE COOPERATIVE'S PERFORMANCE IN THREE CAREGORIES - BOTTOM LINE, SAFETY, AND POWER RELIABILITY. THE BOARD ALSO PROVIDES AN ANNUAL COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT TO BE ADDED TO THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. |

| FORM 990, PART VII | THE DAILY PER DIEM AMOUNT OF 500 PLACES SANTEE ELECTRIC WITHIN RANGE OF THE AVERAGE FOR OUR STATE AND REGION. WHILE THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED TRADITIONAL COMPENSATION, THE PER DIEM REIMBURSEMENT DOES SERVE TWO VERY IMPORTANT PURPOSES. (1) IT SERVES AS A REMINDER AND AN AGREEMENT THAT THE TRUSTEE OWES A FIDUCIARY DUTY TO THE COOPERATIVE THEY HAVE AGREED TO SERVE. (2) FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE OF THE QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED TO SERVE ON THE BOARD OF SEC - WITH ANNUAL REVENUES AND TOTAL ASSETS WELL IN EXCESS OF 100M/YEAR AND 200M, RESPECTIVELY - THE MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD QUITE OFTEN HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF RESPONSIBILITIES OUTSIDE OF THEIR BOARD SERVICE. PER DIEM IS A METHOD OF REIMBURSING THEM FOR THE TIME THEY DEDICATE TO THIS SERVICE AND FOR THE EXPERTISE THEY BRING TO THE TABLE. BOARD COMPENSATION IS COMPOSED OF THE FOLLOWING: BILLY MORRIS: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 5,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 5,000 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - 1,500 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 1,000 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) - 2,222.71 INSURANCE - 21,498.36 OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 36,746.23 ANDY MCKNIGHT: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 6,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 6,500 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - 7,000 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 6,758.35 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) -11,005.64 INSURANCE - 12,070.92 OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 49,860.07 STANLEY PASLEY: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 6,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 6,000 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - 7,500 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 2,848.25 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) - 4,579.59 INSURANCE - 21,659.16 OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 49,112.16 DON COKER: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 6,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 5,500 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - 8,500 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 6,068.18 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) - 4,221.66 INSURANCE - 12,193.92 OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 43,008.92 WALTER SANDERS: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 6,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 5,000 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - 8,500 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 4,000 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) - 5,072.89 INSURANCE - -0- OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 29,098.05 ALLEN NESMITH: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 6,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 5,500 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - 7,000 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 4,247.20 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) - 5,703.38 INSURANCE - -0- OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 28,975.74 HARRY WALTERS: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 6,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 3,500 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - -0- TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 3,179.20 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) - 1,609.40 INSURANCE - -0- OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 14,813.76 BILL FLOYD: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 6,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 4,500 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - 3,500 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 3,000 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) - 7,089.37 INSURANCE - -0- OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 24,614.53 DUDLEY MUSIER: REGULAR BOARD MEETING - 6,000 SPECIAL BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS - 6,000 COOPERATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATION MEETINGS - 8,000 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION - 7,193.18 TRAVEL EXPENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES (PAID & REIMBURSED) -11,437.58 INSURANCE - -0- OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS - 525.16 TOTAL - 39,155.92 THERE ARE SEVERAL PURPOSES FOR THE SPECIAL BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS HELD THIS YEAR AND EVERY YEAR. SEVERAL SPECIAL MEETINGS RESULTED FROM THE LEGISLATION PASSED BY THE SC GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN 2019 THAT IMPACTED THE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES OF OUR STATE. AS FOR THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS: (1) THE INSURANCE COMMITTEE (TRUSTEES SANDERS, MUSIER, AND FLOYD) TYPICALLY MEETS ONCE PER YEAR TO DISCUSS EMPLOYEE INSURANCE AND BENEFITS. (2) THE FINANCE/ETHICS COMMITTEE (TRUSTEES MCKNIGHT, FLOYD , COKER, AND NESMITH) TYPICALLY MEETS 1-2 TIMES PER YEAR TO DISCUSS THE COOPERATIVE BUDGET. (3) THE SETTING GOALS/EXPECTATIONS COMMITTEE (TRUSTEES NESMITH, PASLEY, MCKNIGHT, AND COKER) TYPICALLY MEETS 1-2 TIMES PER YEAR TO DEAL WITH THE CEO'S EVALUATION, GOALS, AND APPRAISAL. (4) FINALLY, THE POLICY COMMITTEE (TRUSTEES PASLEY, MUSIER, WALTERS, AND SANDERS) TYPICALLY MEETS 2-3 TIMES PER YEAR TO KEEP THE COOPERATIVE'S GOVERNING POLICIES CURRENT WITH TODAYS LAWS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED LEGISLATION, THIS COMMITTEE WAS TASKED WITH A FUNDAMENTAL RE-WRITE OF THE COOPERATIVE'S BYLAWS AND THE BYLAWS OF THE OPERATION ROUND-UP TRUST ORGANIZATION. THIS, OF COURSE, TOOK NUMEROUS MEETINGS TO ACCOMPLISH. THE CHAIRMAN, CURRENTLY BILLY L. MORRIS, JR., IS REQUIRED TO SERVE AS AN EX-OFFICIO MEMBER OF EACH COMMITTEE AND IS EXPECTED TO ATTEND ALL COMMITTEE MEETINGS. TRUSTEES ARE REQUIRED FROM TIME TO TIME TO PARTICIPATE IN MEETINGS OF SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS TO WHICH THE COOPERATIVE BELONGS. SINCE INDIVIDUAL COOPERATIVES ARE NECESSARILY SMALL, THEY FORM LARGER OPRGANIZATIONS TO SERVE COMMON NEEDS. OUR MATERIALS SUPPLIER, OUR NATIONAL TRADE ASSOCIATION, OUR STATEWIDE TRADE ASSOCIATION, AND OUR WHOLESALE POWER SUPPLIER ARE SUCH EXAMPLES. PARTICIPATING IN THEIR MEETINGS IS CRUCIAL IN MAKING SURE SANTEE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE IS WELL-REPRESENTED AT EVERY LEVEL. A GREAT DEAL IS REQUIRED OF OUR TRUSTEES - INCLUDING GETTING (AND MAINTAINING) AN EDUCATION IN ALL THINGS THAT IMPACT THE COOPERATIVE. FOR THIS REASON, WE REQUIRE THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN QUITE A LOT OF TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION. WHILE WE REQUIRE THAT ALL TRUSTEES MAINTAIN A CERTAIN LEVEL AT ALL TIMES, THERE IS A HEAVIER BURDEN PLACED ON NEWER TRUSTEES TO ATTAIN CERTIFICATION QUICKLY. FOR THIS REASON, YOU TYPICALLY SEE SOME OF OUR NEWER TRUSTEES (FLOYD, AND MUSIER) WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER FIGURES IN THE CATEGORY. UNTIL RECENTLY, SEC - LIKE MANY OF THE NATION'S COOPERATIVES - PROVIDED HEALTH INSURANCE (CONSIDERED A FRINGE BENEFIT) FOR ITS TRUSTEES. THE PRACTICE OF PROVIDING THIS FOR NEW TRUSTEES HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. HOWEVER THERE ARE FOUR TRUSTEES THAT STILL REMAIN UNDER THE OLD PROGRAM. IN THE OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS CATEGORY, EACH TRUSTEE WAS GIVEN (1) A CHRISTMAS GIFT BY THE COOPERATIVE (VALUED AT 369.01 EACH), (2) A BOX OF ANNUAL MEETING GIFTS (VALUED AT 115 PER TRUSTEE) TO DISTRIBUTE TO MEMBERS IN THEIR DISTRICT WHO WERE UNABLE TO ATTEND THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL MEETING, AND (3) A COOPERATIVE SHIRT (VALUED AT 41.15 EACH). ANDY MCKNIGHT AND ROBERT ARDIS III RECEIVED 10,635 AND 23,751.50 IN COMPENSATION, RESPECTIVELY, FROM CENTRAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC. (CENTRAL) IN 2021. CENTRAL DOES NOT MEET THE DEFINITION OF A RELATED ORGANIZATION FOR PURPOSES OF THE FORM 990 AND ARE NOT INCLUDED ON PART R. MR. MCKNIGHT AND MR. ARDIS ONLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SERVE ON THE BOARD OF CENTRAL BECAUSE THEY ARE OFFICERS OF SANTEE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC. (SANTEE). CENTRAL IS A GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION COOPERATIVE THAT EXISTS SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF ITS MEMBERS. CENTRAL PROVIDES A RELIABLE, LONG-TERM, AND STABLE SUPPLY OF POWER, WHICH ACCOMODATES GROWTH, AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE COST CONSISTENT WITH GOOD UTILITY PRACTICE. CENTRAL PROVIDES FOR RELIABLE DELIVERY OF POWER WHEN AND WHERE DESIRED, CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE GUIDELINES. CENTRAL PROVIDES ADDITIONAL ENERGY-RELATED OR DELIVERY-RELATED SERVICES, AS DIRECTED BY ITS BOARD OF TRUSTEES. SANTEE HAS A WHOLESALE POWER CONTRACT WITH CENTRAL THAT EXTENDS THROUGH 2058. SANTEE ECI PAID CENTRAL 87,068,173.90 DURING 2021. |
