ISSUE STATEMENT
This is an action item to appoint one member to the Metropolitan Wastewater Management
Commission to fill a position with a term which will expire January 31, 2016.
BACKGROUND
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 whom 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.
The recruitment for the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission was initiated
in November 1, and concluded on December 31, 2012. There were three applicants. One of
the applicants is Walt Meyer, who is reapplying for his position. The MWMC General
Manager provided a letter of recommendation for Mr. Meyer.
The Mayor nominated Mr. Meyer for reappointment.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission serves as an advisory body to the
City Council working under an intergovernmental agreement.
COUNCIL OPTIONS
The City Council has the following options:
1. Appoint the applicant who has been nominated;
2. Appoint someone else:
3. Seek additional candidates for this position.
