Description/Background:
The Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy (District) was established in 1935 by the Salt Lake City Commission. Salt Lake City is the founding member and Sandy City joined the District in 1990. The District's primary function is to create a firm water supply for its member cities. The District also provides water to others on a surplus basis.
The District is citizen-administered through a Board of Trustees comprised of seven board members which serve four year terms. Five of the Trustees are appointed by the Salt Lake City Council and two Trustees are appointed by the Sandy City Council. Sandy's representatives include Don Milne and Art Hunter.
Late last year the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake City and Sandy contacted the Council Office regarding the expiration of Don Milne's term on December 31, 2016. At that time it was not clear that Mr. Milne would be in a position to serve again. The District also informed the Council Office that despite the term expiration, Mr. Milne was eligible to continue serving until the City Council made another appointment or reappointment. The Council Office was recently informed that Mr. Milne is interested in serving again.
