Reappointments to the Technical Customer Advisory Committee

The Technical Customer Advisory Committee (TCAC) was established in 2006 to assist in and facilitate public review and discussion of Water Authority policies, plans and programs. The TCAC was established to provide a professional/technical group of volunteer individuals who represent the five core functional areas of operating a water and wastewater utility. This group is intended to provide outside expertise in best practices and private sector applications for continuous business improvement.
Dave Hill and Scott Verhines have completed their first terms and are eligible to be reappointed to a second two year term. Staff recommends that both continue to serve on the TCAC. Below is a summary of their professional and academic background.
