TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING
INFORMATION
MEETING DATE:
TOWN OF MARANA
September 19,2005
AGENDA ITEM:
J.5.
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-124: Relating to Utilities; Making Town
Council Appointments to the Town of Marana Utilities Board.
DISCUSSION
If the Council adopts Ordinance No. 2005.20 on tonight's agenda, establishing the Town ofMa-
rana Utilities Board, it will be necessary for the Council to appoint three of the Utilities Board
members - the wastewater representative, the citizen representative, and the Town Council rep-
resentative. The Council will also need to appoint a Utilities Board chair.
Proposed Resolution No. 2005-124 would appoint former Pima County Wastewater Director
George Brinsko as the wastewater representative. Mr. Brinsko has several decades of experience
in the field of wastewater management, and is the most qualified imaginable candidate for the
position.
The proposed resolution appoints Steve Wacker as the citizen representative. Mr. Wacker has
many years of experience working for electric utility companies and acting as a consultant re-
garding electrical utility matters. He is well qualified to sit as the citizen member of the Utilities
Board.
The proposed resolution would appoint Bob Allen as the Town Council representative to the
Utilities Board. As the newest member of the Town Council, a position on the Board Utilities
would give Mr. Allen a unique opportunity to oversee Town utility functions.
The proposed resolution is silent as to the Utilities Board chair and invites Council's insertion of
the Chair's name from the dais.
If the Council desires, this resolution may be amended to appoint individuals different from
those set forth in the draft resolution. The names set forth in the draft are simply Staffs recom-
mended appointments to the Utilities Board.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends making appointments to the newly-created Town Utilities Board.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2005-124.
