Working Committee
The Working Committee of the Utilities Board meets the Monday prior to the Utilities Board meeting at 9 a.m. in the Rosemont Conference Room (5th floor of the Plaza of the Rockies).
All nine Board Members serve on this committee. In an effort to streamline processes and find efficiencies with both staff and Utilities Board Members’ time, this committee takes the place of the four individual committees listed below. The committee reviews compliance reports and other presentations before they go to a Utilities Board meeting. This is a pilot program taking place from February-August 2025.
A final decision on the status of this committee moving forward will be made at the end of the summer 2025. Working Committee materials can be found on the Utilities Board webpage.
