Board of Directors

Lassen Municipal Utility District (LMUD) is a municipal utility district, governed by an elected board of directors. The directors are elected to serve the utility by the people. The LMUD Board is elected at large by the voting public who reside within the LMUD boundaries; meaning that each voter in the district may vote for all of the directors to be elected.

Board Members

Lassen Municipal Utility District is divided into five “wards”. Each ward has one representative or “board member.”

Current Board members are:

  • Ward 1: Fred Nagel, Vice President – Term of office: 1/1/2021 to 1/6/2025
  • Ward 2: H.W. “Bud” Bowden, Director – Term of office: 1/1/2023 to 12/31/2026
  • Ward 3: Jess Urionaguena, Director – Term of office: 1/1/2023 to 12/31/2026
  • Ward 4: Daren Hagata, President – Term of office: 1/1/2021 to 1/6/2025
  • Ward 5: David Ernaga, Treasurer – Term of office: 1/1/2021 to 1/6/2025

Board members serve a four-year term; there is no limit to how many terms a board member may serve. Candidates for the LMUD board must reside and be registered to vote in the ward in which they are campaigning to represent. The board is the legislative body of the district. They determine the policies by which the district operates.

Board Meetings

The LMUD Board of Directors meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm in the LMUD Board Room located at 65 S Roop in Susanville. Board meetings are open to the public, and the public is always given the opportunity to comment on district business.
