DRAFT POLICY (01-05-17) <br /> ERMU Commission Policy No. G-1.8 Commission Committees <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> 4. The Commission recognizes that appointments to a Committee provide opportunities for <br /> learning and Governance development. Accordingly, the Commission endeavors to <br /> appoint Commission members to committee leadership positions who do not already hold <br /> a Commission office. <br /> 5. The Commission will review the charter and performance of any standing committee at <br /> least annually to determine if changes are required or if the committee is still required. <br /> 6. Commission committees may not speak or act for the Commission except when formally <br /> given such authority for specific and time-limited purposes. Expectations and authorities <br /> will be carefully stated in order not to conflict with authority delegated to the General <br /> Manager or Commission Chair. <br /> 7. Commission committees may not exercise authority over management and staff <br /> employees. The General Manager is accountable to the whole Commission and is not <br /> required to obtain approval of any Commission committee before taking an executive <br /> action. <br /> 8. Commission committees will avoid relating to or identifying with discrete parts of the <br /> organization rather than the whole. A Commission committee that has helped the <br /> Commission create policy on a particular subject will not be used to monitor <br /> organizational performance on that same subject, except with specific Commission <br /> approval. <br /> tElk River <br /> Municipal Utilities <br /> 106 <br />
