The PUD is governed by a 3-member Board of Commissioners (BOC) elected to alternating 6 year terms by the citizens of Jefferson County. The BOC meets regularly on the first and third Tuesday of each month and holds a budget hearing the first Monday in October. One regular board meeting is held in December on the second Tuesday. Special meetings are held frequently, with the date, time, and purpose of the meeting given at least 24 hour prior. All meetings are open to the public, either in person or online. Meeting information, including agenda packets and instructions for joining online, can be found in the calendar section of our website.
