Utility board allowances and meeting rules

Tennessee water and wastewater authority board members can receive payment for necessary travel and other board-work expenses, plus meeting allowances. Payments follow the same rules and limits as those for municipal electric system directors. These payments count as the authority’s operating and maintenance costs. For energy or utility authorities created by special state laws, this permission supplements existing authority and applies as their boards provide. Water and wastewater authority boards must meet monthly and set meeting times and places. The chair can call special meetings as needed; any member can do so when the chair is absent or disabled. Meetings require a majority of directors to be present. Board actions require approval from at least a majority of directors eligible to vote. Resolutions take effect after adoption following one reading, including at the meeting where introduced. The law took effect upon enactment.
