The Bryan Board of Public Affairs is a five-person board elected to oversee the operations of the
community-owned utility. The Board keeps itself informed on a regular basis of utility services,
financial position, and personnel. The Board has four committees that meet once a month. At these
meetings, management discusses all significant utility activities with the Board.
The full Board meets the first and third Tuesday of each month in open session at 7 p.m. at the Utility office,
841 East Edgerton St. The public is always welcome. The meetings are also broadcast live on BMU TV.
