To the maximum extent legally possible, the Utilities Board, in its discretion, is empowered to delegate its authority for the management and operation of Utilities as an enterprise to the Chief Executive Officer through the adoption of written Utilities Board governance policies. In turn, the Chief Executive Officer is authorized, in the Chief Executive Officer's discretion, to provide for the management and operation of Utilities by creating divisions or other operational units and to delegate the Chief Executive Officer's authority to staff reporting to the Chief Executive Officer by Utilities Enterprise Policies.
