A PUD Commissioner is elected every two years during the general election to serve a six-year term.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Commission establishes PUD policies, set rates, adopt system plans for electric and water utilities, and approve the revenue obligations. In addition to guiding PUD operations, the Commissioners appoint the general manager. \u00a0The General Manager is directly responsible to the Board of Commissioners. The General Manager is supported by 23 employees who help carry out Commission policies, conduct PUD business, and keep the water and electric utilities operating smoothly.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Commission Districts<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pudwhatcom.org\/the-commission\/commission-districts\/\"><strong>here\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>to view a map of the districts and related information.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Commission Meetings<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p align=\"justify\">Commission Meetings are usually held the <strong>second<\/strong> and <strong>fourth<\/strong> Tuesday of each month at <strong>8:15 a.m<\/strong>. at the PUD Administrative Office at 1705 Trigg Road, Ferndale, Washington, unless another location is announced.\u00a0 <em>All Commissioners will participate via in-person, Zoom platform\/internet or teleconference. <\/em>Click <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pudwhatcom.org\/the-commission\/meeting-schedule\/\">here<\/a><\/strong> to view the Meeting Schedule.<\/p>\n<h5 align=\"justify\">Agendas, Meeting Minutes and Recordings<\/h5>\n<p align=\"justify\">Current agendas for upcoming Commission Meetings are available to the public.
