Purpose: The Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC) is charged with providing advice on acquisition and development of electric, gas and water resources; joint action projects with other public or private entities which involve electric, gas or water resources; environmental implications of electric, gas or water utility projects, conservation and demand management.

Meetings: Regular meetings are at 7:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month and are cablecast live on Government Channel 16. Please check the Schedule of City Meetings for exact dates, times and location.

Contact the Commission by email. The Utilities Advisory Commission appreciates hearing from citizens and your email will be forwarded to all seven Commissioners.

Correspondence received by noon on the day of the UAC meeting, relating to an Item on the Agenda, will be put at the Commissioner's places at the meeting. See Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Sections 2.16 and 2.23 for more information on the Utilities Advisory Commission.

Be advised that your email to the UAC is a public record and your correspondence should not include any private information (such as home address or minor children's names) that you might not want the general public to have access to. If your email is regarding a specific agenda item for an upcoming meeting, your email will be available for public inspection at the meeting.
