Board of Public Utilities — October 21, 2026
Corrected APPA numbers show the county's electric fund finances are weaker than a first glance suggested — without the Uniper settlement, the county would have had negative pooled cash and needed rate increases. The data will feed budget guidance this winter.
County Council (Work) — July 14, 2026
BPU Chair Gibson explained recent rate hikes mostly reflect catching up on years of under-raising relative to inflation, with depleted reserves. The board is reviewing its ten-year-old reserve policies, and councilors pressed on how rates compare to CPI.
Art in Public Places Advisory Board — April 23, 2026
