PURPOSE:
With this policy, the Commission affirms that the General Manager is the only person directly

operational conduct. Additionally, the General Manager is accountable only to the Commission.
From the Commission's perspective, the authority and accountability of ERMU management and

instructions (direct or implied) to anyone other than the General Manager.
