Name
The name of this group shall be the North Carolina Utilities Coordinating Committee,
hereinafter referred to as "committee."
The purpose of the Committee is to discuss the mutual problems of the various member
agencies and to exchange information on changing technologies. It is the intent of the
Committee to achieve this purpose through frank and open interchange at regularly
scheduled meetings. It is the further intent of the Committee to inform its members of
proposed work within the service areas of others, to promote damage prevention
to underground and overhead facilities and use of the North Carolina
One Call Center, the statewide one-call notification system.
Membership shall consist of representatives of the various utility operators and
governmental agencies of the state. Others, such as the cable television industry,
railroads and
contractor groups, are invited to become participants and members. A stated interest in
becoming a member is normally the only pre-requisite for membership. Should a question
arise as to the eligibility or desirability of a prospective member, the issue shall be
decided by a majority vote of the members present at a regularly scheduled meeting.
The Committee shall elect from its membership a chairman, vice chairman, and secretary.
The term of office shall be one year. Vacancies may be filled by election at a regularly
scheduled meeting of the Committee.
When possible, the various offices will be filled with representatives of different
broad groups and rotated regularly to avoid any perception of dominance by any group.
Election shall be my majority vote of members present.
An official representative from each local Utilities Coordinating Committee
will be invited to attend all scheduled meetings and present a report of
important activities and issues in the area of the state they represent.
Significant issues presented at a scheduled meeting of the Committee should be
analyzed and prioritized for appropriate action. A sub-committee may be
created to address such issues. Results from the activities of any such
sub-committee should be recorded and reported at a regular scheduled
meeting.
The regular meetings of the Committee shall be held on the second Tuesday of every
other month, beginning in January (January, March, May, July, September, and November). If
this day is a legal holiday, the chairman shall select a substitute date. The hour and
place of all meetings shall be designated by the chairman.
Special meetings of the Committee can be called by the chairman or at the request of
any member. Notice of such meetings should be accompanied by information as to the reason.
Minutes of all Committee meetings will be posted on the NCUCC Web Page
following each meeting.
