Continuing from our last blog entry, this week legislation to appoint three new members to the PWSA board will be introduced.  Based on the proposals, the terms will start on May 1st and run through April 30, 2020 if Council confirms the nominees.

A March 22nd press release by the Mayor’s office noted that the new appointees (who were to be announced not long after that release) will be charged with “…assist[ing] ongoing efforts to modernize the authority and address its systematic deficiencies” some of which we pointed out in a Brief last month.  At the same time the new board members bring the full membership back to seven there is also a “blue ribbon panel” of nine members who are involved with selecting a professional group to possibly restructure the PWSA as well as an advisory panel of six members who are to “…provide guidance to the [blue ribbon] panel”.
