Board Profile
A seven member Board of Directors, elected by wards for four-year terms, determines overall policies, which are then implemented under the direction of the General Manager. Board meetings are open to the public and held the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 1:15 p.m. in the Board Room, 2nd floor, 375 11th St., Oakland, CA. In addition, workshop sessions, special meetings and public hearings are occasionally scheduled and are noticed to the public.
Each Board member serves on one or more standing Board committees. The committees
review and make recommendations with regard to matters of major interest, prior to
discussion by the full Board at a regular meeting. Standing committees of the Board
include Planning, Legislative/Human Resources, and Finance/Administration.
Board members also represent EBMUD on the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed
Authority, the Dublin San Ramon Services District/EBMUD Recycled Water Authority (DERWA),
Oakland Chamber of Commerce, Coliseum Complex Committee, the Special District
Associations of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, EBMUD/East Bay Regional Park District Liaison
