MUB Board of Directors

On March 1, 1951, the Original Municipal Utility Board, composed of Dr. Paul Cameron, Mr. V.C. Allen, Mr. Ellis Jones, Mr. O.J. Borum, and Mr. Richard Medlock took possession of the Electric System from Public Service Company and assumed jurisdiction and operation of all Municipal Utilities (natural gas, water, and sanitary sewer systems) within the city.

Since that March 1, 1951, many of the most highly educated and respected citizens of the Community have served with dedication on the Municipal Utility Board, and to all of them we owe a debt of gratitude.
