Operations

Line crew personnel are working on new service construction, maintenance work and annual line inspections in the following townships: Guthrie, Hagali, and Roosevelt. Crews will be in BEC pickups, and will be inspecting overhead equipment, padmount transformers (that green box in your yard), as well as reading meters at locations. We ask that members please practice social distancing and stay at least 6 feet away from crews. 

Roger Spiry Community Room

In March, we closed our Community Room to the public and we have extended this closure until further notice. We appreciate your understanding during this time.

Account Management During COVID-19

We are encouraging everyone to stay as up-to-date on their payments as possible, however we understand that there may be circumstances now impacting your ability to pay due to COVID-19. We are working with members by arranging payment plans and can help direct you to assistance that may be available. Members can manage their account online through SmartHub, including view/pay your bill, monitor your energy use, report an outage, submit a service request and more.

BELTRAMI COUNTY COVID RELIEF GRANTS

COVID Relief Grant Applications are due by January 22, 2021 (5:00 pm)

Per the COVID Relief Bill signed by Governor Walz on December 16, 2020, Beltrami County is being awarded $908,000 to provide grants to local businesses and non-profits impacted by the current pandemic. Greater Bemidji, Inc. is administering the grants on behalf of the County. Applications will be evaluated primarily on Revenue Decline from 2019 to 2020. However, data will be collected on several other factors that may influence the award amount such as Net Profit (Loss) comparison from 2019 to 2020, COVID Relief funding to-date, business sector and employee count.

Grant Application Materials

GRANT ELIGIBILITY

Maximum grant amount per legal business/non-profit entity is targeted at $25,000 or up to 3% of 2019 revenue, whichever is less; however, award amounts may be altered dependent on number of eligible applications.

  • Businesses and non-profits must be located in Beltrami County. 
  • Businesses must have no tax liens as of date of application.
  • Businesses must be registered with the MN Secretary of State –Active & in Good-Standing.
  • Business must demonstrate a decline in revenue from 2019 to 2020.
  • New businesses may apply and will be evaluated based on annualized income and demonstrated pandemic impact.
  • Businesses with physical storefronts and employees will be given priority over self-employed and home-based businesses.
  • Tribal-owned businesses are eligible given that the business has voluntarily compiled with the Executive Order 20-99 (Nov 18, 2020).
  • Non-profit organizations that have business-like revenue sources are eligible, (i.e. product/service sales, ticket sales, membership fees). This income must make up at least 51% of their total revenue.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 22, 2021 (5:00 pm)

NOTE: Should you need any assistance in filling out the application and/or forms, please contact Tiffany Fettig at tfettig@greaterbemidji.com or 218-760-0854.
