Item 6 - Appointment to the San Diego County Water Authority BoardApril 21, 2020, Item #6~) MEMORANDUM CityofPoway DATE: April 21, 2020 TO: Members of the City Council FROM: Steve Vaus, Mayo~ SUBJECT: Appointment to San Diego County Water Authority Board Summary: The San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) is a public agency that serves as San Diego County's regional water wholesaler. SDCWA is made up of 24 member agencies, each of which appoints a representative to serve on the SDCWA Board of Directors. The Board of Directors determines policies for the SDCWA, and those policies are carried out by SDCWA staff. As a member agency, Poway appoints a representative to the Board for a six-year term. Councilmember Barry Leonard has served as Poway's representative on the SDCWA Board of Directors since August 2018, fulfilling the remaining two years of Mark Weston's term upon his resignation from the board as Poway's representative. This term will expire on April 22, 2020. Having fulfilled his commitment, Councilmember Leonard has elected to step down from the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the County Water Authority Act, Poway must appoint a representative to serve on the Board for the next six-year term (Attachment A). Public Works Director, Eric Heidemann, is qualified and has agreed to serve as Poway's representative on the SDCWA Board of Directors. Eric is familiar with the City's concerns about our region's water supply and challenges, as well as the Council's legislative platform. He is well-equipped to represent Poway on the San Diego County Water Authority Board of Directors. I propose the appointment of Eric Heidemann to represent Poway on the SDCWA Board of Directors, through April 2026. Recommended Action: Mayor Vaus is requesting Council's concurrence for this regional committee appointment. Attachments: A. SDCWA Term of Office Letter B.
