Gary Franks
Background and Analysis:
The current Chair is Kristin Lamson and the Vice-Chair is Meliss Kover. UAC members can self-nominate or nominate another UAC member. A motion is needed to approve the new officers.
Climate Analysis:
The election of UAC officers does not have a direct impact on climate mitigation. UAC business items may impact climate emissions and/or are related to climate mitigation.
Equity Analysis:
The election of UAC officers does not have a direct impact on equity for the Olympia community. The UAC includes representative members of community to the degree possible based on the range of applicants participating in the annual recruitment. UAC members have opportunities to participate in policy recommendations to the Olympia City Council on issues that address equity related to the four City Utilities
