Background and Analysis:
The General Government Committee interviewed Mike Buffo at its March 6, 2017, meeting for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) and was impressed with his candidacy. However, the Committee chose to recommend another candidate be appointed to fill the vacancy on BPAC.
A vacancy remained on the Utilities Advisory Committee due to the resignation of a member. Staff reached out to Mr. Buffo to measure his interest is serving on other committees that may have current or upcoming vacancies, and Mr. Buffo expressed a strong interest in being considered to fill a UAC vacancy. The General Government Committee is recommending he be appointed to fill the current vacancy on the UAC with a term ending March 31, 2018.
Mr. Buffo’s application and resume are attached.
