FMPA
Elects 2007-2008 Executive Committee Officers
ORLANDO,
Fla., July 12, 2007 — Members of the Florida Municipal
Power Agency (FMPA) elected officers today at an organizational
meeting of the newly reconstituted Executive Committee.
FMPA’s
Executive Committee Chairperson for 2007-2008 will be Rebecca
Mattey, Director of Ocala Electric Utility. Previously, Mattey
served as FMPA’s All-Requirements Project chairperson
for a year-and-a-half.
Kevin
McCarthy, Utilities Director for the city of Clewiston, was
elected Vice Chairman. McCarthy also serves as Treasurer of
FMPA’s Board of Directors, a position he has held since
2006.
Under
the new governance structure approved May 28, FMPA’s
Executive Committee includes only appointed representatives
from each member of FMPA’s All-Requirements Project,
rather than being an elected body. The changes give the Executive
Committee power to independently govern and manage the business
affairs of the All-Requirements Project.
Members
of FMPA approved the governance changes to enhance the efficiency
of the Agency’s decision-making process.
FMPA’s
All-Requirements Project provides all the wholesale power
needs of 15 Florida cities, including Bushnell, Clewiston,
Fort Meade, Fort Pierce, Green Cove Springs, Town of Havana,
Jacksonville Beach, Key West, Kissimmee, Lake Worth, Leesburg,
Newberry, Ocala, Starke and Vero Beach. All-Requirements enables
municipal utilities of all sizes to become owners—not
just customers—of an efficient statewide power system.
