The MWMO’s Board of Commissioners is its governing body. The board has ultimate decision-making authority over the MWMO’s projects, programs, staffing and budget.
There are seven voting MWMO commissioners — one from each of the MWMO’s member communities. The city council or governing body from each member community appoints a commissioner to the MWMO in accordance with state law.
