Board Meetings

The Board of Managers for the District is comprised of six members. Two members are chosen by the Smith County Commissioners Court; two are chosen jointly by the cities in Smith County; one is chosen by the local fire departments; one is chosen as a non-voting member representing the largest phone company in the district. Regularly scheduled board meetings take place on the third Wednesday of every month beginning at 10:00 A.M. here at our office (see map lower right corner). Occasionally, the Board will hold additional meetings as needed. The public is welcome to all board meetings.
