ISSUE STATEMENT
This is an action item to appoint a Eugene representative to the Metropolitan Wastewater Management
Commission (MWMC).
BACKGROUND
Interim appointments are made, when needed, to various boards, committees, and commissions outside
the regular annual recruitment process. A vacancy on the Metropolitan Wastewater Management
Commission will occur when Terry Gould’s term expires on January 31, 2010. A recruitment was
begun on November 30 and closed on December 31. As a result, one application was submitted.
The purpose of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission is to act as the governing and
policy-making body for regional wastewater management activities. Seven persons compose the
commission, three of which represent the city of Eugene: one elected official and two citizen
at-large members. The Mayor appoints the elected official and nominates the citizen representatives for
three-year terms. The City Council then votes on the Mayor's citizen nominations.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
No policy issues are related directly to this action.
COUNCIL OPTIONS
The City Council can vote to approve the nominee. It can also request additional information or
background on the applicant and delay the vote, or reject it entirely.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends approval of the proposed nomination.
SUGGESTED MOTION
Move to appoint Walt Meyer to Position 2 on the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission,
for a term beginning on February 1, 2010, and ending on January 31, 2013.
