North Branch can expand public utilities commission

A new law will allow the city of North Branch to increase the number of members on its Public Utilities Commission to five.

Sponsored by Rep. Anne Neu (R-North Branch) and Sen. Mark Koran (R-North Branch), the law also requires terms for the additional members to be staggered and set in accordance with the commission’s bylaws. Once the commission has five members, no more than two may also serve on the city council.

The law is effective the day after local approval and necessary filings are made with the Office of the Secretary of State.
