CPS Energy's Citizens Advisory Committee
|
Since its inception in 1997, the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) has been a channel for providing community input directly to the CPS Energy Board of Trustees and staff. CPS Energy staff briefs CAC members each month on utility-related projects, programs and strategies. Committee members discuss these community issues, identify strengths and offer suggestions for improvement.
The Citizens Advisory Committee has 15 members, 10 of whom are recommended by each of San Antonio's 10 City Council members. Each of these officials is encouraged to nominate candidates who reside, own or manage a business establishment within the boundaries of their district. The other five members at large are chosen from among those who submit applications and are selected by the CPS Energy Board of Trustees. All CAC members must be customers of CPS Energy and reside in the utility's service area.
