TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF FEBRUARY 15, 2024

 

COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RESOURCES, PENSION AND CIVIL SERVICE

 

Honorable Kari K. Steele, President and Members of the Board of Commissioners

 

Title

Request for advice and consent to the reappointment of Jose A. Lopez as a Commissioner on MWRD’s Ethics Commission for a two-year term pursuant to the Ethics Ordinance

Body

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The Board of Commissioners (“Board”) previously granted its advice and consent as to the appointment of Jose A. Lopez as a Commissioner on MWRD’s Ethics Commission.

 

Ethics Commissioners are appointed pursuant to the requirements of the Ethics Ordinance which requires the Executive Director to recommend appointments with the consent of the Board. Ethics Commissioners may be appointed or re-appointed to two-year terms. 

 

To maintain consistency on the Commission, all three Ethics Commissioners’ terms do not expire at the same time.  Mr. Lopez’ current term expires May 16, 2024, while the other two Ethics Commissioners’ terms expire May 16, 2025.

 

Advice and consent is requested to reappoint Mr. Jose A. Lopez as a Commissioner of the MWRD Ethics Commission to a two-year term expiring on May 16, 2026.  Mr. Lopez is a highly competent private attorney and his reappointment to the Ethics Commission is warranted by the professionalism and commitment he has demonstrated during his years of service as Commissioner.

 

Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director, STM:EMA:nl
