Background and Analysis:
Recently Barb Day resigned from the Utility Advisory Committee (UAC) for personal reasons. Her term ends March 31, 2015. Several well qualified community members applied for the UAC this year. At the time of interviews, General Government Committee created a "short list" of applicants to recommend should any mid-year openings occur. At last month's meeting, General Government revisited the list and unanimously agreed to recommend Michelle Barnett to the open position.
According to Ms. Barnett's application, she is a construction manager with the LOTT Clean Water Alliance and has designed, inspected, and helped build public infrastructure in Olympia and surrounding communities for over 17 years. She has been attending UAC meetings as an interested community member. Ms. Barnett's application is available for review in the Council office.
