Your Commissioners
A five-member Board of Commissioners, elected by the citizens of Eugene, governs the Eugene Water & Electric Board. Four board members represent specific wards within the city; the fifth member is elected "at-large" by all city voters. Each commissioner's term is four years.
Commissioners hold regularly scheduled public meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. All meeting agendas and most supporting documents are made available in the meetings and agendas section of the web site.

Citizen-owners and customers can communicate with EWEB's elected board in a variety of ways. E-mail may be sent to individual commissioners from their web pages listed above. You may also send EWEB a message that will be e-mailed to all five commissioners. Written communications also may be sent to commissioners at the following address:
P.O. Box 10148

Opportunity for public comment also is provided at each board meeting. The board meets at 7:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of each month (work sessions often are held at 5:30 p.m.; check agendas for exact time).
Each regular 7:30 p.m. meeting contains a "public input" agenda item, when citizens or customers can address the board about any issue. Those wishing to speak are asked to fill out a sign-up card, available at the meeting. Speakers are heard in the order in which they sign up. Usually, three minutes is allowed for individual comments.
