Board of Commissioners

After the Commission was officially chartered in February 1901, City Council appointed a Board of three members to oversee the Commission. In March 2001, Chapter 392 of the Private Acts of TN Legislature for 1901 was amended to increase the number of Board Members to five and change the appointment method. The August 2001 Board Meeting was the first one with five Board Members. 

The Board of Commissioners establishes the governing policies of MU and determines administrative policy for management. Success of the Commission has been undergirded by stable terms of service, which endowed the Board with knowledge and experience. In 121 years of MU’s history, there has only been a total of 47 Commissioners.
