The citizens of Eugene elect five commissioners to four-year terms. They dedicate their service to the utility as volunteers without pay. Local control is a hallmark of a publicly owned utility.
The commissioners are responsible for overall governance of the utility. They set policies, approve the annual budget and make changes to electric and water prices when necessary.
Four commissioners represent specific wards of the city; the fifth member is elected "at large" by all city voters.
