New rules for Shelbyville utility board members

The law sets membership, eligibility, and pay rules for the Shelbyville Power, Water and Sewerage System board. These changes require approval by two-thirds of Shelbyville’s legislative body before taking effect. The seven-member board has five citizen members and two City Council members, all appointed by the council. Citizen appointments happen in May for staggered three-year terms starting June 1. The schedule starts with one appointment in 2016, two in 2017, and two in 2018, repeating every three years. The first City Council appointment is effective June 1, 2016. Council members’ board terms are set by ordinance and cannot extend beyond their current council terms. All members serve until replacements are appointed and qualified. Citizen members must be U.S. citizens, at least 30, and Bedford County residents who are property owners or householders. They must have been system ratepayers for at least two years before appointment. Ratepayers include named account holders, their spouses, and adult household members living at the service address. Business owners, officers, and board members also qualify when their business has a system service account. Citizen members cannot hold federal, state, Bedford County, utility board, or Shelbyville employment or office during their terms. Notaries public and state National Guard members are exceptions. Losing a required qualification creates an immediate vacancy; replacements are appointed the same way to finish the remaining term. The City Council sets citizen members’ pay by ordinance; the law gives no dollar amount. Council members receive no extra pay for board service. The act does not remove current officials or shorten their elected terms. The local approval process takes effect when the act becomes law. The presiding officer must announce approval or disapproval and certify it to the Secretary of State.
