Appointment to the Customer Advisory Committee
 
b
The Customer Advisory Committee (CAC) was established in November 2006 to assist in and facilitate public review and discussion of Water Authority policies, plans and programs.  The CAC consists of nine voluntary members who are customers of the Water Authority's water or wastewater system.  The resolution, R-06-27, establishing the CAC recommends that the appointed members have professional or technical competence in one of the following areas: water resource planning, water system engineering, environmental or public interest advocacy, planning or landscape architecture, financial or business management, resource economics, and customer service.  There is a vacancy in the water resource planning category because of a recent resignation of Jesse Roach as he no longer a customer of the Water Authority.
 
It is recommended that the Water Authority Board confirm the nomination of Amy Ewing to fill this vacancy.  The nomination was submitted to the Chair for concurrence.  Pursuant to R-06-27, the Chair forwards the nomination for confirmation by the Water Authority Board.  The new nomination represents the same area that the current member leaving represented.  The nominee presented for confirmation is highly qualified and certified in her field of work and for the technical area that will be vacated.  Below is a summary of Amy Ewing's professional and academic background.
