2. Metropolitan Water District, Board Member Reappointment - Leland Meyers' first term on the Metropolitan Water Board will expire in January, and he is eligible for reappointment. Consistent with the handling of other City board & commission reappointments, is it okay to place Mr. Meyers' name on the consent agenda to consider his reappointment?
All Council Members were in favor of the reappointment.
Ms. Gust-Jensen said the City Council meeting scheduled for January 5, 2006 could be canceled due to the small amount of issues scheduled. She said issues could be moved to a future meeting.
