Agenda Item Brief:

Committee Appointments.

Background:

The Western Regional Water Commission (WRWC) was formed by a Joint Powers Agreement, approved by the City Council on January 22, 2008. The current WRWC Commissioners are: representing Sparks, Council Member Donald Abbott, term expiring March 31, 2018; Reno City Council Member Paul McKenzie representing the Joint Sparks/Reno appointment for the Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility (TMWRF), term expiring March 31, 2018; and Council Member Ron Smith as appointed and approved by the Truckee Meadows Water Authority Board, term expiring March 31, 2019.

Analysis:

The State Legislature created the WRWC as a new governance structure for regional planning of water resources. The Bill required the development and adoption of a comprehensive plan for the area over which the new commission had jurisdiction and addresses the supply of municipal and industrial water, quality of water, sanitary sewerage, and treatment of sewage and drainage of stormwater.

Alternatives:

Recommended Motion:

I move to appoint Kristopher Dahir as the City of Sparks representative on the Board of Trustees for the Western Regional Water Commission, for a two-year term ending March 31, 2020.
